Small-to-mid-box industrial and urban logistics space is chronically undersupplied across the UK. Vacancy rates in key markets sit below 3%, while demand from e-commerce fulfilment, last-mile logistics, and trade counter operators continues to outstrip new supply.
Yeats acquires brownfield and infill sites in established industrial locations, secures planning, and delivers flexible workspace ranging from 1,000 to 20,000 sq ft. Our construction background means we can control build cost and programme tightly — critical in a sector where speed to market determines letting success.
