Following the completion of Phase One in 2026 journey times to the North West of England and North Wales will be reduced Following the completion of Phase 2a to Crewe in 2027 journey times to North West of England North Wales and Scotland will improve again With completion
16UNITAD World Investment Report 2017
of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland
HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

The UK remains a key destination for international real estate investment with by far the highest infow of international capital of any European nation16 The vast majority of property development schemes are private sector led generating fnancial returns through new or improved residential commercial industrial hotel or leisure led development
The Northern Powerhousersquos strong economic and demographic growth is a key driver of real estate investment Foreign direct investment projects are increasing faster than the UK average17
whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18
The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519
Market liquidity and the breadth and depth of investment opportunities in the Northern Powerhouse make it attractive to investors with investment yields showing strong growth potential aided by transparent information on pricing and ownership
Once an investment opportunity is identifed in the Northern Powerhouse delivery can take
place quickly benefting from the UKrsquos robust but clear and fexible planning system combined with advice from the regionrsquos world class planning advisory and legal advisors Some areas that beneft from Assisted Area Status or Enterprise Zones have accelerated andor simplifed the planning processes
Property development lies at the heart of the Northern Powerhousersquos ambition to grow Whether it is building incubators for exciting hi-tech frms or providing Grade A offce space to service increasing demand20 in key locations international investors will fnd local government and developers with an appetite and determination to deliver

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

The UK remains a key destination for international real estate investment with by far the highest infow of international capital of any European nation16 The vast majority of property development schemes are private sector led generating fnancial returns through new or improved residential commercial industrial hotel or leisure led development
The Northern Powerhousersquos strong economic and demographic growth is a key driver of real estate investment Foreign direct investment projects are increasing faster than the UK average17
whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18
The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519
Market liquidity and the breadth and depth of investment opportunities in the Northern Powerhouse make it attractive to investors with investment yields showing strong growth potential aided by transparent information on pricing and ownership
Once an investment opportunity is identifed in the Northern Powerhouse delivery can take
place quickly benefting from the UKrsquos robust but clear and fexible planning system combined with advice from the regionrsquos world class planning advisory and legal advisors Some areas that beneft from Assisted Area Status or Enterprise Zones have accelerated andor simplifed the planning processes

16UNITAD World Investment Report 2017
of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland
HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

High Speed 2 Railway (HS2)
HS2 Phase One has now received Royal Assent providing the necessary permission to construct this phase of the line HS2 Ltdrsquos work to develop Phase One and Phase Two continues to demonstrate that the project will bring a range of benefts for the UK improving connectivity capacity and driving growth in the North
Connectivity will be improved to towns and cities in the North of England with new services and new infrastructure There will be new HS2 stations at Leeds Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly with classic-compatible services using the upgraded existing infrastructure to serve other destinations including Sheffeld York Darlington Durham Newcastle Crewe Liverpool Warrington Wigan Preston Lancaster Oxenholme Penrith and Carlisle
Following the completion of Phase One in 2026 journey times to the North West of England and North Wales will be reduced Following the completion of Phase 2a to Crewe in 2027 journey times to North West of England North Wales and Scotland will improve again With completion
16UNITAD World Investment Report 2017
of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland
HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

Following the completion of Phase One in 2026 journey times to the North West of England and North Wales will be reduced Following the completion of Phase 2a to Crewe in 2027 journey times to North West of England North Wales and Scotland will improve again With completion
16UNITAD World Investment Report 2017
of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland
HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route
