The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to keep cash<br />

rates unchanged in the last quarter of 2011 and has<br />

indicated the cash rate may fall moving into <strong>2012</strong> due to<br />

the uncertainty in global markets having a knock on effect<br />

in Australia. The New South Wales local economy may<br />

provide some resilience to the downturn with the new state<br />

government attempting to stimulate the economy particularly<br />

in Sydney through infrastructure spending.<br />

Office leasing activity in the CBD and metropolitan areas has<br />

been stable throughout the year without being spectacular.<br />

With 160,000 SM of new space coming on to the market<br />

this year in the CBD, vacancies will probably increase but<br />

with little new supply next year this increase will be short<br />

lived. More concerning will be strength of demand on the<br />

back of the weakening in economic conditions. Unemployment<br />

has risen slightly during 2011 but most notably in the<br />

manufacturing sector. While job advertisement no’s are<br />

down universally with limited supply before 2014, the<br />

Sydney CBD office market is expected to see growing<br />

returns for inventors as a result of improving effective rents.<br />

Industrial markets continue to see reasonable levels of<br />

activity but again concerns stem from the immediate<br />

economic downturn more than other factors affecting the<br />

market. New supply in the west and south west will mean<br />

activity is likely to be centered there with a trend towards<br />

warehouse activity as manufacturing has significantly<br />

contracted, largely as a result of the high value of the Aussie<br />

currency. Activity is generally favored in leasing transactions,<br />

perhaps related to more generic requirements of warehousing<br />

versus manufacturing.<br />

Investment activity has remained steady, with the biggest<br />

impediment to investment and new construction still being<br />

the availability of credit. The Outlook remains steady<br />

however with the NSW government focusing $66.5 billion<br />

dollars on infrastructure spending which will enhance<br />

transport links for better movement around the metropolitan<br />

areas for private and business users alike.<br />

Retail leasing markets continue to struggle on the back of<br />

weaker economic conditions; this trend is likely to continue<br />

into <strong>2012</strong> with the expected continued economic slowing<br />

down. 2011 has seen households focus on mortgage<br />

repayments and savings over retail spending. On a positive<br />

note, unemployment remains at low levels, the economy is<br />

still predicted to grow and interest rates cuts will deliver<br />

more discretional spending capacity.<br />

Beijing’s real estate investment increased by 14.5% yearon-year<br />

in the first eight months of 2011 to RMB 188.17<br />

billion (US $29.40 billion). With strong investment and<br />

speculative demand from institutional investors, the capital<br />

value of office and retail properties recorded double-digit<br />

growth in 2011. However, with a number of cooling measures<br />

imposed by the government on both the commercial and<br />

residential property market, it is expected momentum in the<br />

property sales market may be subdued in <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

The commercial leasing market was strong in Beijing in<br />

2011, triggered by office expansion from international<br />

corporations. During Q3 2011, new office space was quickly<br />

absorbed by companies with aggressive expansion plans in<br />

Beijing. Class A office prices increased by 11% in Q3 2011,<br />

quarter-on-quarter, to RMB 330/SM per month (US $51.6).<br />

Sale prices of Class A office space increased 7% to RMB<br />

46,951/SM (US $7,340) during the same period. Vacancy<br />

rates are expected to remain level between 5% and 10% in<br />

<strong>2012</strong>. Available office space is mainly in high-end properties,<br />

which is a driving force to increase the average asking rental<br />

rate. Lack of affordable office space is expected to continue<br />

until 2013, increasing further throughout <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

To stimulate consumers to spend money, market intelligence<br />

believes the government is planning to reduce tariffs for luxury<br />

products in China up to 15%. Demand for retail space remained<br />

sustainable. From January to August 2011, sales of consumer<br />

goods amounted to RMB 437.48 billion (US $ 69.5), an increase<br />

of 11.1% year-on-year. At the end of Q3 2011, the overall<br />

shopping center inventory provided up to 5.4 million SM of retail<br />

space to the market. The overall average vacancy reached 11%<br />

in Q3 2011, dropping 2.3% quarter-on-quarter. Continued<br />

growing demand from retailers and international brands drove<br />

the asking rental rate to between RMB 600 and RMB 1,200/SM<br />

per month (US $93.8 to $187.5) as of September 2011.<br />

In the residential market, tightening of government control<br />

is expected to continue for the long run, particularly in highend<br />

residential markets. The average rental rate for residential<br />

properties reached RMB 160/SM per month (US $25) in Q3<br />

2011, representing a decrease of 4.3% quarter-on-quarter.<br />

The vacancy rate declined from Q1 2011 to 8.4% in Q3<br />

2011, representing a decrease of 4.2% quarter-on-quarter.<br />

The average price of luxury residential properties was at<br />

RMB 41,700/SM (US $6,520) as of Q3 2011. In <strong>2012</strong>, both<br />

the rental and capital value of luxurious residential properties<br />

is expected to maintain at a steady level.<br />
