A Q2 2026 commercial property briefing on Suffolk, a four-engine county anchored by Ipswich's financial-services and port economy, the UK's largest container port at Felixstowe, the offshore-wind operations base at Lowestoft, and the cathedral-and-brewing town of Bury St Edmunds, with the global thoroughbred-racing capital of Newmarket completing a structure no other English county replicates.
