Moscow, along with London and Manchester, entered in the investment top-3 in the sphere of warehousing and manufacturing real estate business during the first 6 months of 2012. In comparison with the similar time frame during last year, investments grew up to 60%, constituting over 345 000 000 rubles total. At the same time, lease rates became stable and are expected to remain the same until December.

On average, they are as follows: 135$ per square meter in class A warehousing facility, and 120$ per square meter in class B facilities. High quality warehousing space deficiency is expected in Moscow and some other European cities. In the first turn, it concerns transport nodes of Baltic states, Belgium, Germany and Turkey. At the same time one should pay attention to the reduction of lease rates in Italy, Greece, Portugal. In 2013 lease rates in the capitals of Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey, Great Britain, Belgium, and in St. Petersburg as well.

A range of conferences and discussions, dealing with relevant market problems and defining major trends, took place at the exposition. Russian experts actively discussed different aspects of investment prospects of Moscow warehouse projects, the development of the latter being constantly hindered by local building projects instability, absence of definite city limits and transportation problems.

Conference zone of St. Petersburg display stand became a site for even more interesting discussion- "New generation of industrial parks". In the course of this discussion, a necessity of new systematic approach to new industrial park construction has been pointed out, since their development currently aspires for the better. Some experts believe that the process is being slowed down by divergent interests of governmental structures and investors, as well as absence of a single elaborate conception.
