"We have delivered strong income growth from our standing asset portfolio, strengthened our development programme and have made great strides towards our carbon reduction target.
Despite a mixed macro-economic backdrop over the year, vacancy remains below pre-pandemic levels and we saw meaningful rental growth as the structural drivers of demand ensured that occupiers continued to require well-located logistics real estate.
With business confidence increasing and our strong network of assets, customers and people, we are confident about our prospects for 2024 and beyond”, added ichael Slattery, Chief Executive Officer of Logicor.
