PATRIOT DRIVE, MILTON KEYNES Prime Retail Warehouse Investment Opportunity Investment Considerations Location Catchment & Demographics Situation Retail Warehousing in Milton Keynes Description Tenure Tenancies Planning Asset Management Potential Tenants’ Covenants, VAT, Proposal, Further Information Catchment & Demographics Milton Keynes was designated a New Town in 1967 and is one of the fastest growing towns in the UK. The town has a primary catchment population of 709,000 people (PMA). CACI predict there are 201,000 and 310,663 people living within a 10 and 20 minute drive time of the subject property respectively. Milton Keynes has been identified by the Government as one of the 3 potential growth centres in the south east (the others being Ashford and the Thames Gateway). The population is anticipated to double in size by 2026 and by 2031 Milton Keynes is estimated to be the 16th largest city in the country. PMA estimate that the shopping population totals 465,000 people, ranking the town 11 out of the top 200 PMA centres. Due to its location and lack of proximity to towns with a comparable and competitive retail offer, it is considered Milton Keynes benefits from a captive catchment which extends far beyond the defined primary catchment area, extending as far as Kettering to the north, Luton and Aylesbury to the south, Bedford and Sandy to the east and Daventry to the west. Milton Keynes also benefits from an affluent catchment population as demonstrated below: Affluence Indicators Milton PMA Regional PMA Retail Top 200 Keynes Centre Average Centre Average AB (most affluent) Social Structure 2001 % adult population 31 28 25 Car ownership of 2+ cars % of households 41 33 30 Owner occupiers % of households 75 72 70 Total in-store comparison retail expenditure 2011 (£m) £1,807 £1,632 £821 Per capita in-store comparison expenditure £2011 £2,548 £2,472 £2,392 Per capita retail warehouse expenditure £2011 £523 £494 £476 Milton Keynes has attracted a significant amount of investment and employment to the area.
