Dealmaker – Fergus McDonald (Westport Property)
“I am delighted to have won EG’s dealmaker for East of Scotland 2020 award.
“2019 and the early part of this year have been a very busy period across Tayside, particularly the demand for good quality smaller industrial stock. Post-lockdown, this sector continues to outperform expectations and is likely to remain resilient, with local developers bringing forward much needed new speculative development.
“The outlook for the office and retail markets will undoubtedly be influenced significantly by the current pandemic and we are expecting dramatic changes on our high streets and in our city centres. These sectors will have to adapt in order to recover strongly out of the pandemic.”
