Bolt expects this tocontinue as transport to the area improves on the back of the planned Epping toChatswood line which will have two or three <st1_place w_st=\"on\">North Rydestations including <st1_street w_st=\"on\"><st1_address w_st=\"on\">Delhi Roadand Macquarie Shopping Centre. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<div class=\"NFBreak\" style=page-break-before:always contenteditable=\"false\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">He points out the factors driving low commercialvacancy rates are a combination of low levels of new property constructionpaired with high levels of expansion within businesses, which are in the midstof an extremely positive economic cycle and now deciding to upsize theirbusinesses to take advantage of these conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Bolt attributes much of the capacity constraint to ashortage of suitable sites and also to restrictive council planningrestrictions which severely limit the number of appropriate sites because ofbarriers to re-zoning for commercial use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&#8220;Companies are finally taking more space and movingpremises,&#8221; he said, but many are now finding the options are not as broad as inthe past, particularly within the preferred centrally located areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In particular, businesses working in the construction,infrastructure and engineering sectors are adding staff and expanding rapidly,buoyed up by what he describes as a &#8220;huge non residential building boom goingon in <st1_place w_st=\"on\"><st1_country-region w_st=\"on\">Australia,such as roads and infrastructure&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The crash in commercial property vacancy rates has the potential to drive rents up, with tightening of capacity occurring to some degree across all Australian states and territories, according to the latest data from the Property Council of Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,692],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-archive","category-property","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
