Efficient properties Tenants are becoming increasingly exacting in their choice of lease premises, with storage/logistics facilities required to be preferably high-ceilinged, allowing for suf ficient ramps to ensure as efficient and swift delivery and pick-up as possible. Ample external turning space is also required, to ease lorry access. Due to user demands, old low-ceilinged facilities with few ramps have been out of vogue, but technology may perhaps remedy this. The Danish Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs ranks Denmark as an industrial robotics leader. In the field of industry and logistics, for instance, packaging robots play an impor tant play in automation in terms of improving productiv ity and reducing faulty packaging to a minimum. One example is Aarhus-based Proshop that sells con sumer electronics mainly online. In 2021, the business invested in a robot with an hourly capacity of 1,200 pack ages, and in its 2021 annual accounts, Proshop cited the packaging robot as an important reason for a year of record-high revenues. Packaging robots do not require substantial ceiling height, and should they become more widely used, it may reignite demand for some relatively outdated and low-ceilinged storage/logistics facilities. Generally speak

ing, secondary properties in prime locations are becom ing increasingly coveted as location remains a crucial parameter. In 2021, Aktieselskabet Carl Christensen put up a packaging robot in a facility built in 1967, at Fabriksparken in Glostrup, making use of a relatively out dated industrial/storage facility with low ceiling height to accommodate a state-of-the-art packaging robot.
