Great fun, but not transparent and ‘too difficult to understand’. The historic investor mindset around Leisure real estate is set to change as Leisure rises up the agenda across the board: with battle-weary consumers desperate for post-lockdown fun; with landlords, developers and local authorities increasingly looking to inject life and diversity into their assets and town centres.

A faster consumer rebound than most predict, an increasingly diverse and innovative occupier base (think beyond F&B, cinemas, bowling, gyms and bingo through to a growing host of competitive socialising concepts) and an investment case that may surprise many –Leisure Parks have considerably out-performed virtually every other mainstream property asset class over an extended period.

In episode 3, we explored Leisure: The Deprived Consumer; the Embattled Occupier; the Brave Investor. An exciting mix that will make for a lively Commercial Conversations webinar.
