Taiwan’s 2011 economic growth is estimated at 5.06%<br />
according to the Taiwan government. The IMF forecasted that<br />
Taiwan’s economy in <strong>2012</strong> would grow, parallel to Hong Kong,<br />
by 5.4% and leave Singapore and South Korea behind at 5.2%<br />
and 4.5% respectively. Consumer spending is projected to reach<br />
the NT $8 trillion mark and rise by 3.96%. Both of Taiwan’s total<br />
export/import volume and GDP are escalating steadily. The<br />
unemployment rate in October 2011 was <strong>report</strong>ed at 4.27%.<br />
Eleven major transactions in Taipei’s commercial real estate<br />
market were recorded in Q2 2011, totaling NT $148.45 million,<br />
with most of the deals congregated in the CBD. In Q2, the market<br />
responded with stagnation to the luxury tax bill that was finalized.<br />
Two building auctions were suspended in NHTP; the Ya-Hsin<br />
Technology Building and the Ace Eten Building. San-Yang<br />
Chung-Hsiao Building, on the other hand, was auctioned off<br />
successfully. Located on the most dominant and much<br />
sought-after site, the auction drew stiff competition among a<br />
number of participants. The winning bid produced an 86%<br />
increment out of the reserved price. This exhibits capital<br />
abundance and solid confidence in Taiwan’s real estate market.<br />
The overall net absorption in Taipei was 20,668 pings and<br />
vacancies declined from 14.89% to 13.46%. Positive net<br />
absorption was recorded in both the CBD and in the suburban<br />
markets where the vacancy rates were consequently lowered.<br />
The suburban CDB posted 19,178 pings and the vacancy rate<br />
dropped by 1.96% to 11.73%.<br />
Favored by office tenants, the CBDs in the outskirts of Taiwan<br />
have shown progressive absorption, quarter after quarter.<br />
Rents, nonetheless, have not experienced a noticeable<br />
increase. The average rent lingered at NT $1,152 per ping.<br />
The commercial property market in the Nei-Hu Technology<br />
Park Taipei was mixed in 2011.<br />
On the one hand, Taiwan witnessed a gloomy performance<br />
since Q2 2011 due to the implementation of the luxury tax,<br />
but on the other hand, the start of Chinese tourism in Taiwan<br />
has infused investor confidence in the commercial real estate<br />
market. Expanding investments in retail shops, hotel properties<br />
and office space are forecast for <strong>2012</strong>. In the downtown area<br />
of Taipei, vacancy is at 13.46%. The suburban area vacancy<br />
rate is 11.73%. In 2011, among the six main CBDs in the<br />
Taipei downtown area, Class A space had the highest<br />
occupancy. In contrast, Class B and Class C space registered<br />
negative net absorption. Rent averaged upwards NT $2,030<br />
per ping per month. In suburban areas of Taipei, vacancy is<br />
11.66% and rental rates are NT $1,152 per ping per month.<br />

The real estate market in 2011 still encountered difficulties<br />
due to credit restrictions and high interest rates, making for<br />
a stagnant credit flow. Traditional customers in the apartment<br />
market were quiet due to soaring gold prices attracting<br />
outside investors. Thos customers lost faith in the real estate<br />
market. Prices of the mid-range and high-end apartment<br />
markets decreased. About 100 apartments were offered in<br />
Ho Chi Minh City in the mid-range market.<br />
From January to September, 2011, CPI increased to around<br />
16.63%, up some 22.42% year-on-year. Therefore, the<br />
future supply of the retail projects in HCMC is expected to<br />
exceed 1,680,000 SM in <strong>2012</strong>. This figure doubles the<br />
current supply of some 658,000 SM comprised of<br />
supermarkets, trade centers, grocery stores and shopping<br />
malls. Due to the difficulties in the economy, the number of<br />
customers visiting shopping centers dropped from 20% to<br />
10%, leading investors to renegotiate rental rates. Accordingly,<br />
developers of trade center projects had to protract the time<br />
of capital reclamation. However, the rentals will be adjusted<br />
as those centers are fully leased.<br />
The office market by the end of 2011 was relatively stable<br />
with respect to Class A and Class B office projects. The Class<br />
A office market focused mainly on the office tower projects<br />
at the fulfillment rate of 90% to100%. The rental rates for<br />
Class B office space remain unchanged with the high<br />
fulfillment rate in the downtown area of District 1 at $26 to<br />
$29 per month on average. The project is being promoted<br />
and developed in order to attract the attention of tenants<br />
who are interested in high quality services. Some small<br />
space projects are being offered for lease with appropriate<br />
rental rates to meet the increasing trend of seeking flexible<br />
office services. The market will receive a new supply of projects<br />
located in neighborhood provinces such as Binh Duong and<br />
Dong Nai.<br />
The mid-term real estate market of villas, frontage houses<br />
and land plots remains attractive to the Vietnamese.<br />
Forecasting for <strong>2012</strong>, this segment is expected to grow at<br />
a faster rate compared with other market segments.<br />
According to the comments of Knight Frank, in order to<br />
overcome the gloominess of the current housing market,<br />
developers need to be more prudent and flexible. It is<br />
important for developers to do careful research in the<br />
apartment market to meet customer’s requirements before<br />
launching the serviced apartments into the market.<br />
