Intense bidding for GLS sites to continue, analysts expect bigger supply in H2
Study finds number of bidders and average price premium over comparable sites higher in H1 2017 than, say, H2 2015

Research by Cushman & Wakefield on predominantly residential GLS sites found that the average number of bidders in the first half of this year was 13.3, up from, for example, H2 2015, when it was 8.25.
