The growth of AI is poised to reshape labour markets and drive data centre investment. But how could it change property in the future? ➡️ http://savi.li/6044vA7T4 Real estate is already experiencing AI’s impact: data centres are enjoying an investment boom and logistics in Europe alone is expected to see an additional 8.5 million sq ft of demand for supporting warehousing space over the next three years.

The incoming Welsh Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy has already established a new economic target that aims to halve the gap in GVA between Wales and the UK. This time, rather than focusing on GVA per capita as was the previous target, set in 2000, the measure will be on GVA per hour worked, which will be less of a gap to halve – 15% rather than 27%.

"Average deal sizes are expected to have increased during Q2, supported by several landmark acquisitions that demonstrate continued appetite for exceptional assets despite weaker overall market sentiment." - Lydia Brissy, Director - European Research Read the report to understand: 🟨 Why investors remain committed to the sector 🟨 Which asset classes are attracting the most capital 🟨 What could drive renewed momentum in H2 2026 Lydia Brissy | James Burke

Offices return to cross-border investors’ favour and capital flows become more geographically diverse ➡️ http://savi.li/6040vCcms The office sector attracted $22.3 billion of global cross-border investment - almost a quarter of all cross-border turnover - in the first half of 2026. Rasheed Hassan, Head of Global Cross Border Investment, Savills, says: “Geographically, much of the commentary this year around global capital flows has implied that cross-border investors are being more selective and focusing on a fewer number of ‘high-conviction’ markets, however this is not necessarily backed by the data. Our analysis shows that capital flows are becoming more diverse, focused more on the markets that are showing solid fundamentals, with the US, UK, Japan, Australia and Southern Europe attracting growing interest.”

The UK development land market slowed in the second quarter of 2026, as weak sales rates, ongoing viability pressures and broader economic uncertainty continued to weigh on activity. Emily Williams, Director in Savills Research, commented: “At the start of the year, there were hopes that interest rate cuts would help ease the cost of debt and support buyer demand. With sales rates still under pressure, build costs remaining elevated and wider economic uncertainty weighing on confidence, developers are becoming increasingly selective about the sites they pursue.” Patrick Eve, Head of Regional Development at Savills, adds: “Developers are adapting to a more challenging market by focusing on risk management. Deferred payment terms, conditional contracts and joint ventures are becoming more common, while appetite remains strongest for sites that offer a clearer route to delivery.” Click here to learn more: http://savi.li/6047vCiy1
