Take-up remains steady across the Blackwater Valley for warehouse/industrial units. Over 2025, there was an increase in the number of transactions for units above 4,000 sq ft but a slight drop in total sq ft transacted. There remains limited availability with a 7.7% vacancy rate and rental levels have continued to increase in all towns within the Blackwater Valley. We expect to see continued growth and take-up with 150,000 sq ft (8 buildings) under offer at the start of the year.
