of Yorkshire and Humberside’s grade A industrial space in the final quarter of 2010, according to a report by DTZ.

Mike Baugh, director of DTZ’s industrial team in Leeds, said: “With take-up of speculatively built grade A space continuing, and a lack of any new development, the window of opportunity for occupiers to secure significant incentives is closing. Consequently it is likely that we will see a return to design and build-led deals.”
