Theten new GLSsites introduced in the H2 2025 Confirmed List are generally in goodlocations, with most having a potential of less than 600 new homes, well within thefavouredparameters for developers. As such, developer attention will remain morefocused on the GLSprogrammerather than the collective sales market for residentialprojects. All the sites on the H2 2025 Confirmed List are expected to be sold.Industrial assets continue to attract investor interest, especially those of freeholdtenures with redevelopment potential
