Priestley – COVID-19 and Construction Priorities With Euronews
4 years ago
Priestley Group’s chief executive officer, Nathan Priestley, recently spoke with international publication, Euronews, on how the pandemic has changed priorities for construction firms.
Despite a rise in working from home, there is still demand for office space in city centres.
With a wide range of properties available and a change in the property market’s stance, Nathan explained that: “The value of investing in the suburbs is different for various sectors of construction… Lots of commercial space is still being built; many companies will still need offices as we come out of the pandemic and see a future in collaborative workplaces.
“The growth of online retailing during the pandemic has caused a surge in out-of-town industrial developments, specifically warehousing.
“This will create jobs, which will then produce demand for housing in these locations, so developers will naturally respond to that opportunity.”
