London is top European city for international retailers Thursday, 15th November 2012
According to a report compiled by retail estate adviser Jones Lang LaSalle, London is the most attractive European location for international retailers.
The report took the expansion and presence of 250 international retailers into account.
James Dolphin, Head of EMEA Retail Agency, Jones Lang LaSalle said: “London is a springboard for many retailers who want to expand internationally. We have seen several US and now Chinese retailers start their European journey over the past few months in this way. More will follow, driven in part by Westfield’s successfully launched new shopping centres, continued demand for space in Bond Street, Oxford Street, Regent Street and Covent Garden, but also sustained market opportunity, tourism levels post the Olympics, political stability and a transparent real estate market.”

JLL predicts major shake-up for retail property in 2012 Wednesday, 4th January 2012
Retail property will undergo a number of major changes during the next twelve months according to research from Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL).
In its first annual property forecast since merging with King Sturge, JLL predicted that 2012 will be the year that long-term trends begin to play out in the retail property market.
Head of retail Guy Grainger said: “It's not just the economy that's affecting retail – the sector is seeing structural change,” as he warned that the only in-town locations to survive unscathed would be central London and the top 20 regional destinations.
JLL calculates that 30 per cent of all retail stock is now redundant and needs to be recycled. But on a positive note this will present opportunities for food stores, cinemas and residential to come back into the town centre.
According to JLL research, 50 per cent of all retail leases are set to expire between now and 2015, with half of those expiring in 2012 and 2013. This includes some major chunks of retail real estate including schemes such as Hammerson's West Quay in Southampton. Some retailers like Arcadia have already signalled their intention not to renew leases. And according to Grainger retailers like Dixons are only renewing if they can negotiate a flexible deal with the landlord, often involving a £1 headline rent with a turnover top-up.
Secondary locations are most at risk, according to JLL, and often landlords' concessions are not enough to convince retailers to stay. Because rateable values have not been revealed since 2008, in many towns rates payable now exceed the rent on a new letting.
But out-of-town the picture is brighter, and JLL forecast a surge in development activity as landlords redevelop second-generation retail parks built in the 1980s with new units to captalise on strong demand from high street retailers such as John Lewis, Marks & Spencers and Debenhams.

New Bond Street beats crème de la crème of Paris for top rents Wednesday, 13th July 2011
According to a new study by Jones Lang LaSalle, New Bond Street, located in London’s prestigious W1 postcode has become the most expensive luxury shopping street in Europe.The street, which joins Oxford Street to Piccadilly, now commands rents of £6,940 (EUR 7,900) per sq m. In comparison, rents on Paris’ famous Avenue Montaigne reach EUR 7,500 a sq m, while Moscow’s Stoleshnikov Lane rents peak at EUR 7,015 per sq m.
Although beaten in price, Paris is the reigning champion for holding the highest density of international luxury labels. The French capital remains Europe’s uncontested centre for fashion shopping, with the top 100 luxury labels operating over 150 luxury stores in the city. London came in second place with 125 stores from the 100 luxury brands, with Milan counting just under 90 and Moscow and Rome lagging behind with 66 and 59 luxury label stores respectively.
Martin Thomas, head of Jones Lang LaSalle central London retail, concluded: "The importance of London as a retail location for the luxury brands has continued, and the market, particularly in Bond Street. There are certainly no signs of rental growth slowing down at present and trade remains strong for so many of the top luxury brands."
