Stor skjult efterspørgsel Vores analyser og løbende dialog med kunder viser, at der også findes en skjult efterspørgsel. Nogle virksomheder vil gerne flytte til større lokaler, men har endnu ikke fundet det rette lejemål eller nøjes med en midlertidig løsning på grund af akut pladsmangel. Omfanget af denne skjulte efterspørgsel er i sagens natur vanskelig at kortlægge, men antallet af beskæftigede er fra 2008-18 steget med ca. 12% og dermed markant mere end stigningen på ca. 2% i antallet af lejede kvadratmeter. En del af forklaringen er, at flere virksomheder har måttet udskyde planer om at flytte i nye og større kontorlokaler trods massiv medarbejdervækst. Evidently, the extent of such hidden demand is difficult to map, but in the span of 2008- 2018, employment figures increased by about 12%, that is, a much steeper rate than the volume of occupied space. This may be explained partly by the fact that several businesses have been forced to shelve their plans to relocate to new and larger office premises even when their workforce has expanded heavily. Substantial hidden demand Our analyses and daily customer dialogue lead us to be believe that there is a certain amount of hidden demand. Some businesses are looking to move to larger premises but still have to find the right lease premises or make do with a temporary measure to deal with an acute shortage of space.
