Firm releases comprehensive macro insights into the European self-storage sector, via its latest Outlook report

LONDON, 13 May, 2025 – Green Street, the foremost provider of commercial real estate intelligence and insights, has expanded its private market research coverage to the European self-storage sector. Utilising 5 years of forecasted insights and 10 years of historical data, Green Street’s new Self-Storage Outlook focuses on investment opportunities available in 30 European cities.

“Living quarters are becoming more compact and storage space is being cut back in urban developments, necessitating off-premises storage solutions for residential occupiers. Additionally, approximately 40% of the business customer base consists of small-to-medium-sized entities, particularly online retailers in the region,” said Marie Dormeuil, Head of European Market Analytics. “The growth in real spending on storable goods is expected to increase at 2% per annum over the next five years, supporting healthy demand growth.”

Green Street continues to invest in product innovation and expanding its breadth of research coverage by unveiling a host of proprietary data and analytics geared toward market participants in the European self-storage space. The new offering includes: market and NUTS3 grades, net initial yields, Commercial Property Price Indices (CPPIs), IRRs, and historical time series and 5-year forecasts for operating fundamentals. Users will be equipped with standardised metrics for easy comparability which can integrate into their own day-to-day modelling to enhance analysis.

Key takeaways from the Outlook report include:

  • European self-storage market overview in a global context
  • The evolution of the sector and its future growth potential
  • Demand and supply drivers, along with forecasts for operating fundamentals
  • Transactions, asset value trends, and expected investment returns

“The European self-storage sector is poised to grow given its relative infancy compared to many other major global economies. New players are entering the market, and investors would benefit from using Green Street’s research and data as they prepare to participate in the proliferation of this niche sector,” said Andres Toome, Senior Research Analyst.

Retail Resilience: Great Britain’s Store Closures Hit Second Lowest Level in a Decade in 2024

London, 20 March, 2025 – PwC has revealed its latest tally for chain retail stores, leisure venues and service outlets opening and closing across Great Britain for 2024.

The bi-annual report using proprietary data from Green Street, tracks over 200,000 chain outlets in over 3,500 locations to gain a picture of the changing landscape of chain outlets across the country.

PwC finds that net closures have stabilised, now sitting at -3,802 stores across high streets, retail parks and shopping centres.

Net Closures Take the Lead but Opportunities Beckon

The results for 2024 show that retail is witnessing a promising recovery as chain outlet closures fall to their second lowest level in a decade, with 12,804 closures reported. This marks an encouraging daily reduction to 35 closures, an improvement from 2023 (14,801 closures) and bettered only in 2022 (11,530 closures).

On the openings front, the count modestly declined to 9,002 openings, averaging 25 per day. This remains favourable compared to the pandemic years when openings fell below 20 per day, albeit still trailing behind the mid-2010s, when openings peaked at 34 per day. This number is a slight decline from 2023’s full year results that showed 9,138 new openings across England, Scotland and Wales.

In light of the recent news that Prada has acquired the building housing its flagship Miu Miu store on New Bond Street for approximately £250 million, we take a closer look at the historical retail landscape of this iconic shopping destination and explore how it compares to other leading luxury retail hubs across Europe.

Luxury Mix New Bond Street 2008-2025:

chart visualization

Over the past 18 years the retail landscape of New Bond Street in London has undergone a dramatic transformation, solidifying its position as one of the most iconic luxury shopping destinations in the world. Back in 2008, the street featured a diverse mix of retailers, with units fairly evenly split between Premium, Luxury, and Super Luxury brands – and even a handful of Mass retailers, such as Jigsaw and Russell & Bromley.

However, over the years, the Mass retailers gradually disappeared, followed by a notable decline in Premium brands as well, this could be due to the rise in business rates across the street with the 2017 revaluation seeing an average rise of 130% on Bond Street pricing out the non-luxury occupiers. In their place, a wave of Super Luxury retailers – primarily global fashion houses – took over, with their presence more than doubling over this period. Today, Super Luxury brands dominate the street, occupying 56% of all units, firmly establishing New Bond Street as a global epicentre for ultra-high-end retail.

Comparison to Luxury High Street

To benchmark performance, the Top 30 luxury high streets across the Top 30 European markets were selected and analysed, focusing on physical vacancy rates. The physical vacancy rate analysis measures the proportion of unoccupied floorspace as a percentage of the of the total retail area, providing insights into market strength across different locations.

New Bond Street in London has one of the lowest physical vacancy rates at just 4.1%, with several units currently under development and multiple transactions taking place over the past 18 months. Comparatively, Østergade in Denmark recorded the lowest physical vacancy rate among all luxury high streets, with only 1.3% of space remaining unoccupied, reflecting the strength of the Danish luxury retail market.

On the other end of the spectrum, Calle de José Ortega y Gasset in Madrid is facing significant challenges, with nearly 20% of its retail space currently vacant. Many of these vacant properties are large-format stores, which remain difficult to lease due to their size and operational costs. In fact, Madrid’s luxury market appears to be under increasing pressure, as two of its high streets rank among the bottom five for vacancy rates. Additionally, the average size of vacant units in Madrid is the largest among the 30 high streets analysed, with many exceeding 3,500 sq ft, making them particularly hard to fill.

Estimating the total retail floorspace across Great Britain has long been a complex challenge for stakeholders in the retail property sector. However, Green Street, following its acquisition of LDC’s granular POI dataset, has harnessed cutting-edge data science and analytical capabilities to model floorspace across 700,000 plus retail units across GB. This landmark development provides new opportunities for investors, occupiers, and public sector planners, offering deeper insights into retail provision and space utilisation.

Value proposition by segment

Investors – can gain a comprehensive understanding of retail provision surrounding assets and assess how they serve local catchments using retail floorspace per capita statistics. Additionally, Green Street’s floorspace data can be utilisied in underwriting, to estimate the sales productivity of an asset, using sales per square foot estimates. In addition, floorspace vacancy metrics will add context to physical vacancy rates, understanding average unit size of vacant space, as well as aligning more closely with REITs who report financial vacancy rates.

Occupiers – can support their tactical location planning strategies in local markets by using Green Street’s floorspace data to target specific unit sizes for upsizing or relocation opportunities in order to maximise sales densities. Understand competition levels and assess the impact of competitors based on their space usage rather than just the number of physical units.

Public Sector – can address the long-standing issue of retail oversupply in the UK. Green Street’s floorspace data helps identify locations with the largest challenge of retail space per capita but also to identify specific categories that are oversupplied within a catchment. Benchmarking similar locations using Green Street’s Health Index will help users determine the exact amount of space reduction needed to drive retail tension and support local regeneration.

chart visualization

Green Street’s floorspace model was developed using data from the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), matched with Green Street’s database via the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN). This dataset was then enriched with Green Street’s proprietary metrics, including tenant information, business type, location, and tenant category and subcategory.

Data Accuracy: Average floorspace values were calculated for each metric using a hierarchical approach to ensure the most detailed and accurate averages. Strong outliers were excluded to enhance reliability. Vacant units were also evaulated based on their previous occupancy.

Regional Considerations: Areas with low data availability, such as Scotland and specific sectors like pubs, bars, and hotels, were modelled separately.

Retailer Comparison: The model distinguishes between multiple and independent retailers, ensuring that averages are calculated within comparable groups.

Validation: The final model was validated against VOA floorspace figures to ensure alignment within acceptable parameters. This process resulted in a robust dataset covering all GB retail floorspace, utilizing over 400,000 industry-recognised data points from the VOA combined with Green Street’s expert insights—the first dataset of its kind in the market.

Firm releases inaugural Canadian Sector Outlook report alongside a host of proprietary public and private market valuation data and analytics

TORONTO, Ont., February 26, 2025 – Green Street, the leading provider of trusted commercial real estate intelligence and unbiased insights, has expanded its Canadian market coverage with new private market research and data, plus expanded public market data and analytics. As part of this expansion, Green Street’s inaugural Canadian Outlook report has been released, providing a forward-looking view of supply and demand dynamics, operating fundamentals, valuations, and return expectations across four sectors: Apartment, Industrial, Office and Retail. Green Street is excited to bring the same high quality, independent, and unbiased market intelligence that is available in the U.S. and Europe, to Canadian market participants – all delivered through the advanced interactive mapping platform later this year.

“The inaugural Annual Outlook represents a critical part of Green Street’s Canadian research offering, following 2024’s publication of the Canadian REIT 101 and four initiation reports, discussing 14 large capitalization REITs now under coverage,” said Frederic Blondeau, Managing Director, Head of Canadian Research. “These actionable insights are the result of multiple synergies harnessed across Green Street’s global platform.”

Key takeaways from the Outlook report include:

  • Apartment: The Canadian apartment rental market has benefited from the number of renter households growing at more than twice the rate of owner households between 2011 and 2021. The apartment sector has outperformed the other sectors between 2015 and 2024 from an M-RevPAF perspective. Fundamentals should also underperform in 2025 notably due to supply and affordability issues. That said, performance will likely be more in line with the other sectors starting in 2026.
  • Industrial: Distribution centres/warehouses dominate the Canadian industrial pool. Although industrial rent growth and values have been exceptional since 2020 for most markets, 2024 industrial operating fundamentals experienced a notable deceleration, especially in Toronto and for large-bay products. M-RevPAF should be flat in 2025 and start picking up again in 2027.
  • Office: The office sector’s unremarkable status quo is expected to persist in 2025. Office fundamentals have been poor for the past decade and improvements are not forthcoming. Tepid tenant demand and sluggish leasing activity should keep vacancy elevated and net asking rent flat. Green Street expects Canadian office fundamentals to lag other sectors over the next five years.
  • Retail: The retail sector has been remarkably steady over the last two decades. Strong tenant demand and low supply are partially offset by a shallow tenant pool and tepid spending growth. Nevertheless, rent growth should mirror the rate of inflation. The retail sector leads Green Street’s M-RevPAF growth outlook to 2029 and the NOI growth only lags the industrial sector over the same period.


Green Street’s new private market solution in Canada covers the four sectors included in the Outlook, across 10 key markets: Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa-Gatineau, Toronto, Quebec City, Vancouver and Winnipeg. The data covers key metrics, including proprietary market grades, fundamentals and valuation, macro and demographic data, baseline 5-year forecasts and histories dating back to 2015, and verified Sales Comps $5M+(CAD), with integration into customer’s daily workflows made easy through Green Street’s data delivery services.

Green Street’s expanded public market solution across Apartment, Industrial, Retail, and Senior Housing sectors, now includes easy cross-comparison of the 14 Canadian REITs under coverage via the Company Analysis tool and Detailed NAV models. Expanded coverage will soon include the Office sector with new REITs under coverage.

Green Street is recognized globally for its independent public and private CRE market expertise. The team is excited to deliver tools to help market participants uncover new investment opportunities and make more informed strategic and portfolio decisions within the Canadian CRE market.
