The commercial property market appears to be booming in Leicestershire after investment almost doubled to £629m last year, compared to 2020, according to data from by East Midlands property agency Innes England.
It said investment in the industrial sector accounted for almost three-quarters of the figure, at £480 million, which was up nearly three times on the previous year – thanks to a number of huge warehouse deals.
The figures, revealed in Innes England’s recent Market Insite report, suggested that commercial real estate investment across the wider East Midlands reached a record £2.29 billion in 2021.
