Malaysia’s economy continued to grow albeit at a slower<br />
rate than originally forecasted. In Q2 2011, GDP expanded<br />
by 4.4% driven by the services sector as the main contributor.<br />
Real estate and business services recorded robust growth<br />
(8.2%) during the first half of 2011 driven by stock market<br />
trading and computer services. Malaysia is confident it will<br />
achieve a moderate 5.0% economic growth in 2011 despite<br />
worsening external conditions, with domestic demand<br />
expected to contribute to economic growth under ETP and<br />
the 10th Malaysia Plan.<br />
The global financial crisis and large supply of office space that<br />
is currently in the pipeline is expected to deter any significant<br />
increases in office rents. Nevertheless, new buildings with<br />
MSC status or green building certification are expected to<br />
perform better in securing tenants and attracting higher rents.<br />
The government’s initiative to attract 100 multinational<br />
companies will subsequently increase the overall net absorption<br />
rate of office space. The average rents for newer Class A<br />
buildings in Kuala Lumpur city range from MYR 8.00 to MYR<br />
11.00/SF. Current office vacancy rates stand at 13%. Office<br />
transactions in 2011 included the sale of One Mont’ Kiara<br />
(completed by Zerin Properties), Menara Multi Purpose, Wisma<br />
Goldhill and Putra Place for a total of 1.1734 billion SF.<br />
The industrial property sector picked up with strong demand<br />
from foreign investors. Vacancy rates remain very low while<br />
rents have been stable. There is a new trend for clean,<br />
boutique type industrial facilities.<br />
The retail sector was strong in 2011, largely driven by<br />
consumer spending and improved economic conditions.<br />
Overall, the retail subsector grew by an average of 7%.<br />
A retail mall, One Mont Kiara, sold for MYR 219 million<br />
(completed by Zerin Properties) with three other malls sold,<br />
namely Klang Parade, Ipoh Parade and Seremban Parade for<br />
MYR 450 million.<br />
Development land transactions have been active with average<br />
land prices in the city ranging from MYR 1,500 to MYR<br />
3,000/SF.<br />
The Kuala Lumpur hospitality sector performed well during<br />
Q3 2011. All the three categories (3-Star, 4-Star and 5-<br />
Star), recorded marginal increase for both occupancy and<br />
average room rates. The average occupancy rates for 3-<br />
Star, 4-Star and 5-Star hotels were recorded at 70%, 61%<br />
and 69% respectively. Average room rates for 3-Star, 4-Star<br />
and 5-Star hotels during Q3 2011 were RM 162, RM 240<br />
and RM 380 respectively.<br />

Auckland’s commercial real estate market is suffering from<br />
a severe shortage of investment properties, however, the<br />
forthcoming general election and potential double dip global<br />
recession has not dampened investor demand. Recent<br />
auctions of industrial investments below $1.5 million with<br />
term leases showed yields of 7.0% to 7.6%; this is an<br />
improvement of 50 basis points compared to the same time<br />
in 2010.<br />
New development for non-speculative industrial and retail<br />
projects are showing some green shoots. New projects are<br />
underway in the industrial areas of Albany, West Auckland<br />
and South Auckland and industrial vacancies have fallen to<br />
around 5% with the three year hiatus on development<br />
activity and increased leasing activity keeping the vacancy<br />
rates stable.<br />
The retail sector has low vacancies across the region, but<br />
tenant demand remains relatively flat in competitive trading<br />
conditions. There is an increase of fixed rent reviews enabling<br />
landlords to maximize income returns and tenants to fix<br />
operating costs. The influx of around 100,000 tourists for the<br />
Rugby World Cup has produced significant spending in the<br />
hospitality sectors but little impact on other retail spending.<br />
Prime retail rentals are stable but the recession has seen store<br />
closures in secondary retail locations however, Westfield<br />
continues to expand their malls in Newmarket and Albany.<br />
Tight lending conditions and the time taken to obtain<br />
resource consent have slowed land sales with prices falling<br />
up to 50% and sales ranging from $150 to $350/SM across<br />
the industrial sector.<br />
Office vacancies across the CBD remain around 12% with<br />
the highest vacancy in Class B & C office buildings. Class A<br />
space has been taken up in the sublease market and<br />
vacancy is less than 5% with total vacancy approximately<br />
140,000 SM. Premium rentals are around $480/SM and<br />
incentives range from 10% to 17%. Auckland office supply<br />
is expected to increase an additional 80,000 SM in the next<br />
three to four years leading to a forecast vacancy of 16% in<br />
2015. Prime face rentals and yields are expected to stabilize<br />
and forecast improvements in the business and employment<br />
sector should absorb a sizeable portion of the vacant space.<br />
Confidence in New Zealand’s resilience to the global<br />
economic forecasts have seen some significant transactions<br />
by local and offshore investors recently, including the Hyatt<br />
Regency Hotel for $60 million and the Apex Retail Centre<br />
also for $60 million.<br />
