Interesting piece of research emerged from Lambert Smith Hampton's Thames Valley office this week. They've done a bit of off-beat pondering linking Heathrow Terminal 5 to office rents in the area.

When terminal 4 completed in 1986 the extra wings over Berskhire's offices led to a bull market. Office rents doubled from £17.50 per sq ft (in the early 90s) to £35 per sq ft (2001). Admittedly, the report says prior to terminal 4 construction the east side of the airport was an industrial heartland and the market [excuse the pun] took off in a huge way. It's unlikely we'll see a similar jump with terminal 5.
