Potentially some "good news" for once? I know we don't like that here.

Canary Wharf Group has submitted plans for a vast “vertical” life sciences campus, as the owners of the east London district look to break their reliance on financial services as demand for office space falls. The new 823,000 sq ft, 23-storey tower block would be among the largest laboratories in Europe and would cost £500mn to develop.

Science labs and innovation centres....

This is what will grow the economy, not hand shaking on pre-existing trade deals or making new trade deals that undermine home grown produce, goods and services.

There may be a benefit to landlords, but the smart money is on investing in homegrown science and tech innovation economic growth for medium to long term.
