India recorded a growth of 4.7% in Q3 FY14

(October-December 2013) over Q3 FY13. This was a

marginal decline compared to Q2 FY14’s growth rate

of 4.8%. Majority of the growth during the quarter

was driven by services sector. The ‘financing,

insurance, real estate and business services’ sector

registered maximum growth of 12.5% during the

quarter, followed by ‘community, social and personal

services’ sector, which grew at 7% and ‘trade, hotels,

transport and communication’ at 4.3%. Apart from

this, all other sectors witnessed a slowdown in the

growth rate as compared to the previous quarter. The

pick-up in manufacturing activity during Q2 FY14

failed to sustain its momentum and registered a

negative growth rate compared to the same period

last year. The ‘Construction’ sector’s performance

also remained almost at par with levels observed last

year, recording only a 0.6% growth. The overall GDP

growth for April-December 2013 was estimated at

4.6%, registering a marginal improvement from 4.5%

during the same period last year.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised the repo

rate by 0.25 basis points to 8% in January 2014. This

decision was driven by the need to set the economy on

the disinflationary path; targeting CPI below 8% by

January 2015 and below 6% by January 2016.

Apprehension of a further decline in growth during Q3

2013-14 due to subdued outlook evident in the

industrial and services sector also aided this decision.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) revised India’s

2014-15 growth forecast to 5.5% from an earlier

estimate of 5.7% in October 2013. The RBI also

suggested that though a revival from around 5.0%

growth in 2013-14 is certain in the coming year,

downside risks to central estimate of 5.5% for 2014-15

remain. This prediction came on the back of

apprehensions that India might face a weak monsoon

season this year. Additionally, there have been no

clear indicators on sustained revival of industrial and

services sector amidst a moderation in global

economic activity. The easing of supply bottlenecks,

revival of exports with pick-up in the world economy

and the implementation of stalled projects all have to

play a role in sustaining this positive outlook. The

1 Top eight cities include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, NCR and Pune.

Current Account Deficit (CAD) shrunk to 0.9% of

GDP during Q3 2013-14 due to a narrowing trade

deficit resulting from higher exports and

moderation in imports. However, it is expected to be

around 2% of the GDP for 2013-14, much lower than

the 4.8% of GDP in 2012-13. External financing

conditions improved in February, as investors

started responding to the economic developments

in emerging markets by the way of reallocations

considering the probable impact of the U.S. Fed

tapering. However, exports growth dipped during

the quarter, amidst decline in global demand due to

overall slowdown.

The commercial office space across top eight 1 cities of India recorded total net absorption of 5.9

million square feet (msf) during the first quarter of

2014. Nearly 92% of this net absorption was in Grade

A developments. Hyderabad contributed 30% of the

total net absorption during the quarter followed by

NCR with 25% share. Majority of the absorption in

Hyderabad (which recorded more than 100%

quarterly rise) was driven by pre-commitments. The

total leasing during this period across the top eight

cities was 8.5 msf, indicating the continuing trend of

relocation. These cities recorded a total supply of

nearly 7.3 msf during the quarter and an overall

vacancy of 18.9%. In the retail sector, only 0.35 msf of

mall space supply was added across the eight cities

compared to 1.18 msf in Q4 2013. Due to this supply

decline and stable transaction activity, mall vacancies

dropped or remained stable in most of the cities

except Ahmedabad and Pune.

In 1Q 2014, residential unit launches across the top

eight cities recorded a quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q)

increase of 42%. Nearly 55,500 units were launched

in this quarter, with Bengaluru contributing around

30% to the total launches. The capital values

continued to remain sticky across segments in these

top cities. However, GST submarket in Chennai

recorded the highest quarterly capital value

appreciation of 10% in the mid-end segment due to

persistent demand for residential properties located

in proximity to the workplaces. Quarterly mid-end

segment capital value appreciation of upto 8% was

recorded in certain submarkets of Bengaluru,

Hyderabad and Pune. NCR witnessed a correction

across segments in certain submarkets of the city due

to sluggish demand and unsold inventory pile-up.

Thus, although the launch activity picked up during

the quarter, residential markets across cities

continued to exhibit a subdued demand trend with

buyers adopting a wait-and-watch approach due to

prevailing economic scenario and uncertainty on

results of upcoming general elections.

After the repo rate hike in January 2014, headline

inflation receded from 11.2% in November 2013 to

8.1% in February 2014. This decline in inflation could

be attributed to the sharp seasonal correction in food

prices. The ex-food and fuel CPI inflation has remained

sticky at around 8% for nearly 20 months in a row,

posing significant threat to growth and making a

strong case for retightening of monetary policy to

align with country’s fiscal targets. The WPI inflation

also eased to 4.7% in February 2014 from 7.5% in

November 2013. This was led by the disinflationary

impulses in food prices; however, the inflation in non-

food manufactured products rose marginally from

2.2-2.6% in May-September 2013 to 3.1% in February

2014. The RBI has stated that though the inflation

Page 3: Citibank property-insights-q1-2014

FDI INFLOW IN HOUSING AND REAL ESTATE SECTORhas started to moderate, further easing of

inflationary pressures will depend on the impulses

from policy actions, the play of food inflation and the

extent of negative output gap. Thus, although the

inflation is expected to moderate, it is likely to

remain above the comfort zone.

The Indian economy recorded a GDP growth of

4.7% in Q3 2013-14. Although this was marginally

higher than the growth recorded during the

corresponding quarter of previous year, concerns of

growth revival escalated because the economy now

needs to record a 5.5% growth in Q4 2013-14 in order

to meet estimates of 4.9% GDP targeted for the fiscal

year. This seems difficult considering Q3 2013-14 was

the seventh consecutive quarter with a sub 5%

growth. Although moderation in inflation provided

some room for recovery, the downside risks continued

to remain due to weak performance of the

manufacturing sector and increased risks to the

agricultural sectors’ performance due to

uncertainty of south-west monsoons. Thus, recovery

remains largely dependent on improvement in the

investment climate, external demand facilitated by

improvement in global financial and monetary

conditions and improvement in business and

consumer confidence aided by the formation of a

stable central Government. The Rupee closed at INR

60.1 against the U. S. Dollar in March 2014 almost

reaching levels prior to the devaluation/volatility

slide in June 2013. This improvement in the Rupee

value could majorly be attributed to the decline in

inflationary pressures during the past two-three

months. In addition, reallocations and improvement

Residential capital values remained stable across

the high-end segment in Ahmedabad, Chennai,

Hyderabad and Mumbai. Mid-end segment capital

values in Ahmedabad and Mumbai also remained

stable; however GST Road in Chennai registered a

10% appreciation on a q-o-q basis, mainly driven by

high demand from working professionals and new

projects being launched at higher price points.

Though high-end capital values for Bengaluru mostly

remained stable, certain areas such as Koramangala,

JP Nagar, Bannerghatta, Kanakpura, etc. in the

southern region registered a marginal q-o-q

in the external financing conditions also played a

pivotal role in strengthening of the Rupee.

The tightening of financial conditions during

beginning of the year, the downslide of inflation and

the improvement in the Rupee contributed to the

recovery in BSE Realty Index. The index touched 1468 stpoints on 31 March 2014 at the close of the financial

year, rising nearly 35 points above its December

closing of 1433 points.

India witnessed total FDI inflows of INR 24,632

crore in Q3 2013-14 (October-December 2013). The

Construction Development sector contributed 6%

(INR 1,432 crore) to the total FDI, registering a 55% q-

o-q decline. This decline could majorly be attributed to

the fact that the previous quarter registered highest

FDI in Construction Development in sixteen quarters.

In addition, FDI numbers for July-September 2013

were revised to 45,153 crore, leading to overall q-o-q

decline of 45%. Thus, the improvement in market

sentiment evident from the pick-up in FDI inflows

during the last quarter failed to sustain in Q3 2013-14.

appreciation. The quarterly mid-end segment

appreciation ranged from 1-7% across Bengaluru. In

Hyderabad, areas such as Madhapur, Gachibowli,

Miyapur, Nizampet and Kukatpally registered a 3% q-

o-q capital value appreciation in the mid-end segment.

Prices in Kolkata also remained sticky except in high-

end properties of South-east (comprising of locations

such as EM Bypass, Christopher Road and Pancha

Sayar) where new units were launched at higher price,

leading to 3% q-o-q capital value increase. A few

micro-markets in Pune witnessed 2-3% q-o-q

increase in capital values in the high-end segment

and 2-8% increase in the mid-end segment. This was

primarily due to project launches at higher prices

and higher demand for properties in close proximity

to the commercial hubs. NCR was the only location

that witnessed q-o-q capital value correction of 3-

9% in certain locations in both the high-and-mid-end

segments, primarily due to subdued demand and

decline in transaction activities.

Nearly 55,500 units were launched in the first

quarter of 2014. The launch activity picked up by 42%

compared to the last quarter of 2013. Ahmedabad

and NCR were the only two cities that registered a

quarterly decline of new launches; 8% and 18%

respectively. Conversely, number of launches almost

tripled in Kolkata and Chennai. The increase in the

number of launches in Kolkata was mainly due to the

launch of a large township project. Maximum number

of project launches was witnessed in Bengaluru

among the top eight cities; it contributed nearly 30%

of the total number of launches in the 8 cities during

the quarter. Mumbai contributed almost 19% of the

units launched. Although NCR witnessed a decline in

the number of new launches, it still featured among

the top three cities with maximum project launches

for the quarter. Pune registered new launches in the

range of 3,500-4,000 units for the third consecutive

quarter. Hyderabad, which registered the lowest

number of launches this quarter (930 units), recorded

a 25% increase from Q4 2013. Going forward, new

launch activity in Hyderabad is likely to remain stable

or increase marginally as several delayed projects are

expected to be launched in H1 2014.

Ahmedabad

Market Overview

In 1Q 2014, nearly 2,300 units were launched in

Ahmedabad, a q-o-q decline of 8%. However, the

number of projects launched more than doubled,

indicating absence of any significantly large project

launch in 1Q 2014. Around 30% of the new launches

were concentrated in West Ahmedabad at locations

such as Makarba, Thaltej and Vasna, followed by

Vastral in East (21%) and Ranip in the North (19%).

Approximately 55% of the new unit launches catered

to the mid-end segment and 45% cater to the

affordable segment. Due to stable demand, capital

values remained unchanged during the quarter.

Developers in the city primarily focussed on clearing

existing unsold inventory rather than launching new

projects.

In 1Q 2014, overall net absorption in Ahmedabad

office market was 608,000 sf, more than double the

previous quarter. The substantial increase in net

absorption was due to earlier pre-commitments that

were absorbed during this quarter. The city also

witnessed healthy supply addition of 1 msf office space

during the quarter, an increase of 9% from the

previous quarter.

Given the limited availability of quality spaces and

no new malls becoming operational in the last two

years, overall transaction activity in Ahmedabad’s

mall segment has been insignificant. However, main-

streets in the suburban business districts such as

Prahladnagar and S.G. Highway witnessed increased

enquiries from the BFSI (bank branches, financial

advisors, etc.) and Food & Beverages (F&B) sectors. A

few lifestyle and home improvement brands have also

relocated and expanded operations in these areas. In

1Q 2014, rental values remained stable across all major

malls and main-street locations of the city.

Due to stable demand, ready residential

properties’ capital values remained stable compared

to the previous quarter, across all micro-markets in

the mid-and-high-end segments. End-users’

preference for emerging locations on the S.G.

between INR 20-40 lakhs mainly at these locations.

Under Construction Residential Property Update

During 1Q 2014, locations in West Ahmedabad

such as Bopal and South Bopal and Vaishnodevi in

the North witnessed healthy construction activity in

the affordable and mid-end segments. In this

quarter, stable demand levels resulted in stagnating

capital values for under construction projects across

all sub-markets.

Commercial Office Sector

In 1Q 2014, office space net absorption was

concentrated in submarkets of Gandhinagar (66%),

Prahladnagar (25%) and Sarkhej-Gandhinagar

Highway (10%). BFSI (49%), IT-ITeS (33%) and

Pharmaceutical (6%) were the highest contributors

to transaction activity during the quarter. Despite

significant supply, healthy transaction activity

helped to keep vacancy levels under control. In 1Q

2014, Grade A developments’ vacancy levels

increased marginally to 36.3%. Rental values

continued to remain stable from the previous

quarter across all major sub-markets.

Retail Sector

Increasing vacancy levels were noted in a few

malls along the S.G. Highway, resulting in overall mall

vacancy increase of 1.3 percentage points, which was

noted at 31.6% in 1Q 2014. Despite increase in mall

vacancy, landlords continued to quote similar

rentals across all sub-markets. In 1Q 2014, only a few

retailers exited mature main-streets such as C.G.

Road, Law Garden and Satellite Road. In addition,

limited availability of quality spaces led to marginal

opportunities for new retailers to expand at these

locations. Due to the limited transaction activity,

rental values remained stable from the previous

quarter across all main-streets of Ahmedabad.

Outlook

Stable residential real estate demand is likely to

result in stagnant capital values during the next

quarter. However, with economic conditions likely to

improve in H2 2014 (post elections); demand in the

residential segment might improve gradually. The

new Development Control Regulations, which are

now under effect, are likely to result in increased

redevelopment activity in the old city areas (which

have been given higher Floor Space Index - FSI, as a

part of R1 zone).

Approximately 500,000 sf of Grade A space is

expected to become operational at Prahladnagar in

the second quarter of 2014. With low pre-

commitments in these developments, vacancy is

likely to increase in the upcoming quarter. This could

result in a downward pressure on rentals at select

locations in the city.

Healthy demand for main-street locations such as

Prahladnagar and S.G. Highway could result in rental

increase at these locations. In the short-term, mall

rentals at S.G. Highway might witness a correction

due to existing high vacancy levels. Considering

higher preference for main-streets and prevailing

high vacancy levels in malls, developers are not presently

undertaking any new mall construction in the city.

Market Overview

Ready Residential Property Update

Trends And Updates

In 1Q 2014, quarterly uptrend of 3-7% was noted in

capital values of select mid-end submarkets.

Submarkets like North appreciated as the Hebbal-

Airport expressway became operational, North-west

due to commencement of metro rail line between

Peenya-Sampige Road and Off-Central** because of

supply paucity. Increased interest from employees of

IT-ITeS companies led to a similar trend in Far South

submarket; while demand spill-over from prominent

residential localities like Jayanagar, Banashankari,

etc. led to capital value appreciation in the West.

In 1Q 2014, the Bengaluru residential market

witnessed significant activity with more than 16,800

unit launches, a q-o-q increase of about 22%. Mid-

end segment offerings continued to dominate (75%

of total number of launches) due to continued

demand generated from mid-level employees of IT-

ITeS companies. Similar to the previous quarter, the

Southern submarket contributed heavily (47%) to

the new launches, followed by the Eastern

submarket contributing 36%. Only select

submarkets like North, Off-Central**, North-west,

Far South and West witnessed 3-7% q-o-q capital

value appreciation for the mid-end properties.

In 1Q 2014, nearly 750,000 sf supply was added to

the Bengaluru office sector. Owing to deferment of

select under construction projects, q-o-q supply

declined nearly by 23%. Reiterating last year’s

trend, Outer Ring Road (ORR) accounted for 79% of

the supply in 1Q 2014 approximately. Better

connectivity, close proximity to residential

developments and competitive rentals led to a high

occupier interest at this location, leading to a

significant traction in activity in this region.

Similar to the last year’s trend, in Q1 2014, no new

mall supply was added in the retail market.

Consequently, overall mall vacancy was recorded at

approximately 7.5%, a marginal q-o-q decline of 1%.

Healthy demand from apparel, footwear and F&B

retailers contributed to this decline. Although there

was a drop in overall vacancy, the average quoted

rentals still remained the same as spaces were

leased to premium brands at relatively lower rentals

with an aim to optimize tenant mix in the malls.

Excellent demand existed for upcoming malls in

Northern areas owing to scarcity of operational

malls in this submarket.

New Residential Launches

In 1Q 2014, 16,800 units were launched in

Bengaluru, a q-o-q increase of around 22%.

Reiterating past trends, mid-end segment continued

to dominate launches with around 75% contribution

while affordable segment accounted for an

additional 18%. Majority of the demand was

propelled by junior to mid-level employees working

in IT-ITeS companies; developers focussed on mid-

end segment offerings. Locations such as Sarjapur

Road and Electronic City located in the Southern

submarket accounted for 47% of the new launches

while the Eastern submarket including Varthur Road

contributed additional 36%. Availability of adequate

social infrastructure and proximity to workplaces

has been instrumental in sustaining buoyant

demand for Eastern and Southern submarkets.

Retail Sector

Most main streets witnessed q-o-q stability in

rental values. However, there was a q-o-q rental

decline of around 7% for properties located on the

Vittal Mallaya Road, due to a drop in trading densities.

In addition, main streets like Commercial Street,

Brigade Road, Jayanagar 4th Block and Kormangala

80 Feet Road continued to witness demand from

apparel, electronics, footwear and F&B retailers.

Commercial Office Sector

In 1Q 2014, 1.5 msf of office space was leased in

Bengaluru whilst net absorption accounted for only

33% of the leasing activity. Nearly 68% q-o-q decline

in net absorption was noted primarily due to

downsizing and relocations of a few select companies.

94% of the leasing activity was in Grade A

developments, indicating tenants’ preference for

quality commercial spaces. In line with the past trend,

IT-ITeS sector accounted for more than 81% of the

transaction activity in 1Q 2014. Pre-commitments

(700,000 sf) recorded a q-o-q drop of nearly 19%, all

of which was concentrated in the peripheral

submarket of ORR (Sarjapur-Marathahalli) and were

committed by IT-ITeS occupiers.

Capital values for mid-end projects in North, East

and North-west submarkets are expected to

improve in the future periods due to a variety of

factors, including commencement of Hebbal-airport

expressway and metro rail along with existing

inherent demand from IT-ITeS population.

Due to continued high level of enquiries for small

and mid-sized spaces, office leasing activity is

expected to increase in the next quarter. Going

forward, rental values are anticipated to remain

stable due to significant pipeline of under

construction projects.

Outlook

Rentals for most of the malls are expected to

remain in a similar range during the future periods.

Also, most main streets are anticipated to witness

stability in rentals. Although prominent main streets

have been witnessing healthy enquiry levels, there is

a delay in deal closures. However, there might be a

downward pressure on rentals of main streets such

as Indiranagar, 100 Feet Road and MG Road owing to

non-availability of optimum sized spaces.

Under Construction Residential Property Update

Under construction residential projects in the

Southern submarkets (Sarjapur Road, ORR,

Sarjapur-Marathahalli, etc.) witnessed q-o-q capital

value appreciation of upto 9% while projects in

Eastern (Whitefield, Old Madras Road, etc.) and the

Northern (Doddaballapur Road, Malleshwaram, etc.)

submarkets recorded q-o-q rise of upto 5%.

Sustained demand from IT-ITeS employees working

in nearby places led to price hike in Southern and

Eastern locations. Commencement of infrastructure

projects such as Hebbal-Airport expressway and

metro rail led to rise in prices at Northern locations.

Bren Celestia on Sarjapur Road and Rohan Jharoka-

Phase II on Old airport road are select residential

projects nearing completion as of 1Q 2014.

Market Overview

Chandigarh

The residential sector of the Tri-City depicted a

sluggish launch trend with no new units added in the

first quarter of 2014. Slow pace of construction also

resulted in no project being handed-over to the

buyers during this quarter. However, GMADA’s

(Greater Mohali Area Development Authority)

issuance of Letter of Intent (LoI) for allotment of

approximately 50 acres of land to Infosys improved

buyer interest in the adjoining submarkets of

Zirakpur and Mohali. Capital values remained

stagnant in the high-end segment with a marginal

decline in the mid-end segment from the previous

quarter.

Due to completion delay in many projects, the Tri-

City did not witness any new office space supply

addition in 1Q 2014. The demand for office space in the

Tri-City was primarily driven by the Media and the BFSI

sectors. The rentals of Grade A office space increased

by approximately 10% from the previous quarter.

Approximately 1.1 msf of new mall space was added

to the Tri-City in the first quarter of 2014. As the

transaction activity was primarily concentrated in

main-street locations, mall vacancies increased. The

increase in mall vacancy was further fuelled by new

supply added to the market. During the quarter,

prominent main street locations of Sector 17, 20 and

35 witnessed healthy demand from apparel and F&B

retailers.

Ready Residential Property Update

Trends And Updates

In 1Q 2014, demand for residential property

remained subdued across the Tri-City as expectations

of probable decline in capital values kept end-users at

bay. Due to the subdued transaction activity, the high-

end segment capital values in central Chandigarh

remained stable from the previous quarter. However,

the mid-end segment's capital values declined by 5-

10% in ready properties.

Key to Locations:

Due to significant unsold inventory and cautious

buyer sentiment, the Tri-City did not witness any

new launches in the first quarter of 2014. Also, no

new projects were “soft-launched” in this quarter as

developers focussed primarily on clearing existing

unsold inventory.

New Residential Launches

The Tri-City did not witness any project completions

during the first quarter of 2014. Moreover, capital values

of under-construction projects declined by 5-7% due to

unsold inventory pile-up.

Under Construction Residential Property Update

Commercial Office Sector

Rental values of commercial office spaces in the

Tri-City improved q-o-q by nearly 10% during the

first quarter of 2014. This was primarily due to

demand generated from media, BFSI and

manufacturing companies. Quoted rentals for IT

Parks and SEZs was around INR 50-60 per square

feet per month (psf per month) and commercial

spaces was INR 70-90 psf per month.

Page 16: Citibank property-insights-q1-2014

Demand for retail spaces was noted primarily in

the main street locations with apparel and F&B

brands such as Louise Phillipe and Subway

strengthening their market presence in the Tri-City.

Retail space in malls was primarily taken up by the

Retail Sector

automobile sector with brands such as Volvo and

Land Rover opening stores in the city. New supply

addition led to increase in vacancy levels. Rental

values in malls maintained status quo at around INR

300 psf per month during the first quarter of 2014.

Due to subdued buyer interest, capital values are

likely to remain under pressure in the region during

the next quarter. With the new international terminal

at Mohali airport nearing completion, the adjoining

areas may witness increased interest from buyers.

Furthermore, with elections around the corner,

developers are pinning hopes on better sales during

the next quarter.

Demand for office space is expected to be stable

in the second quarter of 2014. More than 450,000 sf

of new office space is scheduled for completion in

the next quarter. Rentals are likely to remain stable

over the next quarter.

Outlook

Approximately 150,000 sf of new supply is likely

to be added in the Tri-City retail sector during the

second quarter of 2014. Although there is a steady

demand for quality retail spaces, significant supply

addition during this quarter led to higher vacancy.

As a result, the rentals are likely to remain stable

during the next quarter.

Trends And Updates

Ready Residential Property Update

Prominent real estate developers such as Jain

Housing and Constructions, Land Marvel, Navin

Housing, KGEYES Residency and Vijay Shanthi

Builders handed over projects in locations such as

Kilpauk, Mylapore, Manapakkam, Besant Nagar and

GST Road. In 1Q 2014, 1,400 residential units were

completed, of which 77% belonged to the mid-end

segment, followed by 12% in the high-end segment.

Capital values largely remained stable for almost all

locations in Chennai. However, Poes Garden (high-

end segment) which is a prime residential location,

witnessed 6% q-o-q capital value appreciation due

to continued strong demand. Also, T.Nagar (mid-end

segment) witnessed 4% q-o-q capital value

appreciation due to high demand amongst end-

users for this central location, which is in proximity

to primary and secondary business centres.

Chennai

Market Overview

In 1Q 2014, 7,400 units were launched in the

Chennai residential real estate market, recording a

substantial increase from the previous quarter.

Locations such as Rajiv Gandhi Salai and Grand

Southern Trunk (GST) Road witnessed maximum

number of launches (51%) in 1Q 2014. Of the total

units launched, 90% were in the mid-end segment.

The high-end segment witnessed 37% q-o-q

increase in the number of launches; locations such

as Nungambakkam, Kotturpuram and Anna Nagar

accounted for majority of new units in this segment.

In 1Q 2014, overall leasing (all grades) in Chennai’s

office property market declined 26% on a q-o-q

basis and was recorded at 865,000 sf. Corporate

occupiers continued preference for Grade A spaces.

This was evident as 85% of leasing transactions

were concluded in such assets. However, significant

downsizing along with relocations reduced the net

absorption level, which was noted at 90,000 sf for

Grade A assets. 176,000 sf of supply across all

grades was infused into the market, of which only

18% was Grade A (in Suburban-South West

submarket). The overall vacancy rate in Chennai

dipped marginally by 0.1 percentage point and was

noted at 15.3%.

In 1Q 2014, Chennai’s retail market did not witness

any new mall supply addition. However, growing

demand for select shopping malls in Chennai-CBD

and Chennai-South led to a marginal q-o-q decline of

0.2 percentage points in mall vacancy and was noted

at 6.2%. However, enquiries from domestic retailers

of apparel, footwear and F&B remained high in these

sub-markets. Rentals for most high streets largely

remained stable during the quarter.

Kelambakkam, Perumbakkam and Padur in Rajiv

Gandhi Salai. Developers such as True Value Homes,

Adroit Urban Developers, Vijay Shanthi Builders,

Casa Grande and Voora Group were the key

developers of these projects. This quarter also

* Estimated and as per market information

Current market conditions remain subdued and this

continued to impact the end-user sentiment, leading to

a slower pace of construction activity in several micro

markets. More than 6,600 residential units scheduled

to complete in 1Q 2014 were not delivered and are

Under Construction Residential Property Update

expected to be ready by 2Q 2014. However, due to end-

users’ interest in projects at final stages of completion,

prices of a few under-construction projects in Rajiv

Gandhi Salai, Besant Nagar and Velachery marginally

improved from the previous quarter.

Commercial Office Sector

Grade A spaces in Suburban-Rajiv Gandhi Salai

and Suburban-South West accounted for the

maximum share in net absorption. IT and IT-SEZ

buildings accounted for a major chunk of the leasing

activity for Grade A properties with an average

ticket size of 37,000 sf. IT-ITeS and Automobiles

sector accounted for 39% and 23%, respectively, of

the total gross absorption for Grade A assets. The

weighted average rentals depicted a marginal q-o-q

improvement of 2.5% primarily due to an increase in

net rentals for Peripheral-GST; only buildings with

higher rentals were currently vacant in this area.

In 1Q 2014, prevalent cautious sentiments amongst

retailers prevented any upward bias in rentals for

most high streets of Chennai. However, q-o-q rentals

increased by 5% on Khadar Nawaz Khan Road due to

high retailer interest at this prime location. Some

Retail Sector

retailers in Velachery and Usman Road-North

preferred to relocate to nearby shopping malls due to

which, rentals at both these high streets witnessed a

q-o-q decline of around 3.6%.

21

Page 22: Citibank property-insights-q1-2014

More than 4,200 units are currently in the pre-

launch stage and are expected to be launched during

the next six months. Of these, 76% belonged to the

mid-end segment in locations such as Rajiv Gandhi

Salai and Suburban-South. The high-end segment is

likely to account for 17% of these proposed launches

with new units at Nungambakkam and Kotturpuram.

In addition, more than 6,100 units are likely to

complete during 2Q 2014, which will infuse

significant new supply in the market and might lead

to short-term stability in capital values.

In 2Q 2014, 566,000 sf new office space supply is

likely to be infused in Chennai, of which 490,000 is in

Grade A. This sizeable upcoming supply will mainly

be concentrated in Suburban-South West, CBD and

Peripheral-GST, which might increase the vacancy

levels in these micro markets and bear a negative

impact on 2Q 2014 weighted average rentals.

Outlook

No new mall supply is likely to be infused in 2Q

2014. Amongst high streets, only Khadar Nawaz

Khan Road might witness rental appreciation in 2Q

2014 owing to availability of quality retail premises

at this prime location. Limited availability of quality

mall spaces and high-level of enquiries from apparel,

electronics and footwear retailers might lead to an

improvement in Chennai-CBD and Chennai-South

rentals.

Market Overview

Hyderabad

In 1Q 2014, approximately 900 new residential

units were launched in Hyderabad, a q-o-q increase of

25%; mid-end and high-end segment accounted for

77% and 21%, respectively. The launches were

primarily concentrated in North-west quadrant of the

city in locations such as Gachibowli and Kompally.

Continued cautious buyer approach led to stability in

capital values from the previous quarter across most

micro-markets. The North-west quadrant of the city

continues to be the most active in terms of new

launches and construction activity. Approval delays

led to retention of many projects in the pre-launch

stages and are likely to be launched in the

subsequent quarters.

In 1Q 2014, Hyderabad office market witnessed

overall (all grades) office supply addition of more than

2.2 msf, of which Grade A spaces accounted for

around 98%. The quarter also witnessed pre-

commitments (primarily by IT-ITeS companies) of

around 588,000 sf in Grade A developments. First

quarter of 2014 witnessed office space leasing of 2.1

msf and net absorption of 1.8 msf, majorly

contributed by pre-commitments of 2012 and 2013.

Supply almost equivalent to net absorption for this

quarter kept the vacancy stable.

The first quarter of 2014 witnessed continued

interest amongst retailers for quality main street and

mall spaces. Due to deferment of a 200,000 sf mall

planned at Attapur, no new mall space was added in 1Q

2014. Moderate demand and supply kept the main

street and mall rentals stable.

READY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES IN MARCH '14

Trends And Updates

Ready Residential Property Update

Demand for ready residential property remained

moderate across the city. Continued cautious buyer

approach led to stability in capital values. However,

slight upward capital value movement of 2-4% was

recorded in Madhapur and Gachibowli due to continued

demand from employees working in nearby IT-ITeS

offices. Completion of certain phases of a few projects in

Kukatpally and Gachibowli led to residential supply

additions of nearly 600 units in 1Q 2014.

First quarter of 2014 witnessed more than 900

residential unit launches, a 25% q-o-q increase.

Gachibowli, HITEC City, Chandanagar, Kondapur,

Velimella and Kompally accounted for majority of

the new launches during this quarter. Approximately

47% of the units launched were 3 BHKs whilst 32%

were 4 BHKs and the remaining were 2 BHKs. Mid-

end segment recorded the highest number of new

launches (77%), followed by 21% and 2% in the high-

end and affordable segments, respectively. Around

65% of the total launches were concentrated in

Madhapur, Gachibowli micro-market due to

persistent demand from employees working in the

nearby IT-ITeS offices and developing physical

infrastructure in the region.

Under Construction Residential Property Update

Capital values of under construction properties in

Madhapur, Gachibowli, Miyapur, Kukatpally and

Tellapur appreciated around 1-4% from the previous

quarter. This increase was primarily due to proximity

of workspaces from these locations and burgeoning

physical infrastructure. However, prices of under

construction projects in other parts of the city

remained stable from the previous quarter due to

subdued market sentiments. Construction delays also

led to completion deferment of many projects in

Gachibowli, Madhapur and Kukatpally

In 1Q 2014, Hyderabad’s office market witnessed

an influx of 2.2 msf, 98% of which were Grade A

spaces. IT-SEZ space addition continued to remain

high in 1Q 2014 and was in-line to the previous

quarter. The leasing activity in this quarter was 2.1

msf, of which largely 54% was pre-committed in

2012 and 2013. Approximately 77% of the leasing

activity in 1Q 2014 was concentrated in Madhapur

Commercial Office Sector

micro market, on the back of significant pre-

commitments of 2012 and 2013. Grade A vacancy

marginally increased due to supply slightly

exceeding absorption. However, absorption

exceeded supply for All Grade properties leading to a

slight dip in vacancy level. Rentals largely remained

stable in this quarter.

The main street and mall rentals across the city

remained stable in 1Q 2014 as compared to the

previous quarter. Apparel, sportswear, telecom and

F&B retailers took up space in prominent main

streets such as A.S. Rao Nagar and Jubilee Hills.

Retail Sector

Although enquiries remained high in areas such as

Banjara Hills Road No. 2, lack of apt-sized space

affected the transactions. Deferment of 200,000 sf

mall supply at Attapur, due to delay in approval, led

to a marginal decline in vacancy.

Page 26: Citibank property-insights-q1-2014

Cautious buyer approach is likely to result in

moderate demand and stable rentals (for the next 3-6

months) in the residential real estate market.

However, select micro-markets such as Madhapur,

Gachibowli, Kukatpally and Miyapur are likely to

witness marginal capital value appreciation in the

mid-end segment, primarily due to interest generated

from employees working in the nearby IT-ITeS and

BFSI offices. The North-west quadrant of the city is

likely to witness robust launches in the next quarter

with approximately 1,500 units already in the pre-

launch stages.

During the next quarter, approximately 3 msf of

office space is expected to become operational, of

which nearly 50% is Grade A development. As

majority of this Grade A spaces are already pre-

committed, the vacancy levels for these

developments are likely to remain stable in the future

periods.

Outlook

Approximately 500,000 sf of mall space influx at

Kukatpally is likely to increase the overall city-level

vacancy in the short-term. Demand for both main

street and mall spaces is anticipated to remain stable

due to decent enquiries witnessed in this quarter.

Stable supply and demand are likely to result in

stagnation of main street rentals. However, mall

rentals might remain under pressure due to

substantial influx of new space in the next quarter.

Market Overview

Jaipur

With the change of regime in the state

government, Jaipur residential real estate sector

depicted mixed trends with prices increasing in

January 2014 and then normalizing towards the end

of 1Q 2014. In this quarter, more than 1,500 units

were launched primarily in the mid-segment.

Developers continued to launch projects in

peripheral areas such as Mansarovar, Jagatpura,

Ajmer road and Vidyadhar Nagar. These regions and

a few areas in proximity to the Mahindra SEZ

witnessed high buyer interest with capital values

increasing by 8-10% from the last quarter.

In 1Q 2014, around 100,000 sf supply was added to

the Jaipur office sector. Compared to the previous

quarter, there was a decline in office space demand

with no significant deals recorded in this quarter. The

rentals remained stable from the previous quarter

across major locations in the city.

As mall space scheduled for completion during 1Q

2014 was deferred, the city did not witness any new

supply addition. Continuing with the trend witnessed

in the previous quarters, transaction activity in the

city was primarily in the main street locations of

Mirza Ismail (MI) Road, Vaishali Nagar and Malviya

Nagar. Rental values remained stable both in malls

and main-street locations from the previous quarter.

Trends And Updates

Ready Residential Property Update

In 1Q 2014, central submarkets of Jaipur such as

C-scheme, Swage Farm and Bani Park witnessed

continued interest from end-users. Stable demand in

the central submarkets led to capital values

appreciating by 5-6% from the previous quarter. In

1Q 2014, the mid-end segment witnessed quarterly

capital appreciation of 8-12%.

New Residential Launches

The largest supply in Jaipur during 1Q 2014 was

from residential plots in Jaisinghpura close to Ajmer

road, being developed by the Jaipur Development

Authority. This scheme (Anand Vihar) is proposed to

be developed on 250 bigha of land with more than

1,500 plots. Developers launched nearly 1,500 units

in the first quarter of 2014 in peripheral submarkets

of Jaipur such as Mansarovar, Jagatpura and Ajmer

Road. The new launches were mainly in the mid-

segment priced around INR 2,200-3,200/sf.

Under Construction Residential Property Update

The first quarter of 2014 witnessed steady

construction activity in peripheral areas of Tonk

Road, Ajmer Road and Sirsi Road. A number of

affordable and mid-end segment projects in these

areas started giving possession in this quarter.

Approximately 1,200 units in nearly 10 projects were

handed-over during this period.

Commercial Office Sector

Jaipur witnessed nearly 100,000 sf of office

supply addition in the first quarter of 2014. The

supply was added in proximity to JLN (Jawahar Lal

Nehru) Marg. The rental values in the Central

Business District (CBD) of MI Road and C-Scheme

remained stagnant from the previous quarter at INR

65 psf per month and for Secondary Business

District (SBD) at INR 35-50 psf per month.

Demand for retail space in malls was primarily

driven by BFSI, F&B and apparel segment in the first

quarter of 2014. Brands such as Pizza Hut, John

Player, Titan continued to strengthen their presence

by opening new stores in the city. Demand in the

Retail Sector

main street locations was driven by Lifestyle brands

such as Adidas besides apparel brands such as Lee

and Wrangler. In 1Q 2014, rentals remained stable in

malls as well as main street locations.

Capital values in the Jaipur residential sector are

likely to appreciate in the next quarter both in

central as well as peripheral locations. With space in

the Mahindra SEZ being taken up by IT-ITeS

companies, residential demand around this location

is likely to increase. Work on 9.2 km metro

connecting Mansaorvar to Chandpole via Civil Lines

is expected to complete soon and a part of this route

is expected be operational towards the end of next

quarter. This is likely to increase buyer interest for

projects in Mansarovar, Shyam Nagar and Ajmer

Road.

No new office space is likely to be added in Jaipur

during the next quarter. Rental values are expected

to remain stable as vacancies are quite high in

recently added stock in Malviya Nagar submarket.

Outlook

Overall city-level vacancy is expected to remain

range-bound as demand is likely to pick up only after

the elections.

Demand for quality retail space is likely to remain

stable especially in prominent main street locations

of MI Road and select malls such as MGF

Metropolitan, Elements and Gaurav Towers. With no

new mall supply expected to be added in the next

quarter, vacancy in both malls and main street

locations are expected to decline over the next

quarter. As a result, rentals are likely to improve in

certain locations of the city.

Market Overview

Kolkata

Kolkata residential real estate sector witnessed

substantial increase in new unit launches during 1Q

2014. Around 6,700 units were launched, which is

almost 3.5 times the number of new launches in

previous quarter. This quarter also witnessed a

marginal demand uptick in a few submarkets

compared to the previous quarter. However, capital

values remained stable during the quarter across

micro-markets in both mid and high-end segments.

During 1Q 2014, Kolkata’s commercial office

sector witnessed total supply addition of 72,500 sf, a

significant q-o-q decline of 90% owing to

deferments and slow pace of construction. Net

absorption also declined by about 62% on q-o-q

basis and was recorded at 156,700 sf. The average

deal size also decreased from 5,300 sf to 4,400 sf

due to lack of large-ticket deals. Overall vacancy

levels dropped marginally by about 0.4 percentage

points and were noted at 32.4% in 1Q 2014. Weighted

average rentals remained stable across submarkets

owing to low leasing activity.

In 1Q 2014, Kolkata’s retail sector witnessed

healthy leasing activity from apparel, accessories

and F&B segments, wherein malls witnessed more

demand than the main streets. No new mall supply

was added to the Kolkata retail market in 1Q 2014,

leading to the total mall stock remaining stagnant at

3.7 msf. Overall vacancy level in malls dropped to

3.6% due to healthy leasing activity and lack of new

mall supply. Rentals remained stable during the

quarter across main streets as well as malls.

Trends And Updates

Ready Residential Property Update

During 1Q 2014, transaction activity in the mid-end

segment of ready residential properties improved

from the previous quarter. However, transaction

activity in the high-end segment did not witness any

momentum owing to subdued demand. The capital

values remained stable during the quarter across

submarkets in mid-and-high-end segments. However,

select projects in the mid-end segment of North-east

submarket that were completed during the quarter

witnessed minor q-o-q capital value appreciation of

about 3%. Around 3,000 units were completed in 1Q

2014, of which around 60% catered to the mid-end

segment while 30% catered to the high-end segment.

Similar to previous quarter, in 1Q 2014 nearly 52% of

the completed projects were concentrated in the

North-east submarket. Some of the prominent

projects that were completed in 1Q 2014 include Sri

Avani (a luxury project located in prime South Central

submarket) and Cascades (part of Uniworld City

located in North-east submarket).

In 1Q 2014, around 6,700 residential units were

launched in Kolkata, 3.5 times the number of units

launched in the previous quarter. This was primarily

due to a few high-density affordable and mid-end

projects launched in southern peripheral locations

such as Joka and Maheshtala. These projects

contributed almost 70% to the total new unit launches

New Residential Launches

during the quarter. In 1Q 2014, affordable segment

overall accounted for 57% of total new unit launches

followed by the mid-end segment with 40% share.

This quarter witnessed launch of a theme-based

project in collaboration with Disney UTV, which is first

of its kind in the region.

Under Construction Residential Property Update

In 1Q 2014, capital values largely remained stable in

both mid and high-end segments across most

submarkets. Most of the developers kept prices stable

to garner sales in the current subdued environment.

However, select projects in north, north-east and

south-east submarkets witnessed around 3-5% q-o-q

capital value appreciation. The construction activity

picked up pace during the quarter and nearly 2,100

units are likely to be completed in Q2 2014; majority of

this upcoming supply will cater to the mid-end

segment. North-east submarket would continue to

see maximum number of project completions as lot of

projects have been launched in last couple of years.

Some of the prominent projects that are nearing

completion include Promenade and Orbit Royale in

prime south central and south west submarkets.

Commercial Office Sector

The commercial office sector witnessed total

supply addition of 72,500 sf, a q-o-q decline of about

90%. 1Q 2014 did not witness any new Grade A

supply addition due to slow pace of project

construction in Salt Lake and Rajarhat micro-

markets, which together constitutes majority of

Grade A stock in Kolkata. Net absorption also

declined by about 62% on q-o-q basis and was noted

at 156,700 sf. Average deal size in Q1 2014 fell to

4,400 sf as against 5,300 sf in the preceding

quarter. IT-ITeS sector continued to witness highest

share (50%) in total net absorption, followed by

BFSI and Consulting sectors together accounting

for nearly 20%. The overall quarterly vacancy

dropped marginally by about 0.4 percentage points,

primarily due to lower supply infusion than net

absorption in this quarter. Weighted average rentals

remained stable across micro-markets owing to low

leasing activity.

During 1Q 2014, no new mall supply was added to

the Kolkata retail sector, leading to total mall stock

remaining unchanged at 3.7 msf. The malls in Central

location (Elgin Road) and East Kolkata (EM Bypass)

witnessed healthy leasing activity from F&B and

apparel retailers. Lack of new mall supply and

healthy leasing activity in a few malls led to a q-o-q

decline of 0.3 percentage point in vacancy level,

which was noted at 3.6% at the end of 1Q 2014. Main

street locations witnessed negligible transactions

despite demand from apparel, accessories and F&B

retailers due to lack of quality retail space on the

main streets. This in turn benefited the mall leasing

activity during 1Q 2014.

Retail Sector

In 1Q 2014, rentals remained stable during the

quarter in both main streets and malls. Also, a few

locations having retail space availability did not

witness significant leasing activity due to lack of apt

catchment area to attract shoppers towards these

locations.

33

Page 34: Citibank property-insights-q1-2014

Outlook

North-east submarket along with peripheral

locations such as Narendrapur, Sonarpur and Joka in

South and Madhyamgram and BT Road in North are

expected to witness majority of new launches in 2Q

2014. Demand in the mid-end segment may further

improve in the upcoming quarter, post general

elections and establishment of a stable government.

However, capital values are expected to remain

stable across most submarkets with minor

appreciation in the north-east region owing to

continued demand.

Kolkata office space sector is expected to witness

supply infusion of around 1.8 msf in 2Q 2014,

majority of which was supposed to have been added

during 1Q 2014 but got deferred due to slow pace of

construction. Net absorption is expected to improve

considering current pre-commitment levels. Overall

vacancy is expected to remain high due to

anticipated supply addition. Weighted average

rentals are expected to remain stable with slight

downward pressure in Salt Lake micromarket, owing

to existing high vacancy levels and likely new supply

addition.

In 2Q 2014, new mall supply of about 120,000 sf is

likely to be added to the south Kolkata retail market.

Retailers are likely to depict a higher preference for

malls over main streets primarily due to lack of

quality retail spaces on the main streets. The

upcoming quarter might witness leasing of a few

premium and upscale apparel brands. In 2Q 2014,

rentals are expected to remain stable across both

main streets and malls.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Mumbai

In 1Q 2014, around 10,700 new residential units

were launched in Mumbai, which is double the

number of the previous quarter. This substantial

increase was primarily due to the launch of new

phase in a large township project located on the

outskirts of city. This project received healthy

response from the market due to its lower ticket size

offerings. New launches in the quarter were

concentrated in the sub-markets of Dombivli (56%),

Western Suburbs (15%), Thane (15%) and Central

Suburbs (19%). In 1Q 2014, capital values remained

stable across sub-markets due to the subdued

demand and new launches at competitive prices.

Mumbai’s commercial office sector witnessed an

overall net absorption of approximately 750,000 sf

during the first quarter of 2014, a q-o-q decline of

35%. Majority of the net-absorption was in Grade A

developments concentrated in the sub-markets of

Thane-Belapur Road (29%), Lower Parel (29%),

Central Suburbs (19%) and Vashi (10%). Office space

demand was primarily driven by the IT-ITeS (48%),

E n g i n e e r i n g ( 3 0 % ) , B F S I ( 1 6 % ) a n d

Pharmaceuticals (4%) sectors. Lower demand in the

CBD resulted in the weighted average rental decline

of 3.7% from the previous quarter.

Retailers’ demand for space in malls and main-

streets remained stable during the first quarter of

2014. Demand from the apparel segment was high,

especially in Lower Parel, resulting in mall rentals

increasing by 4% during the quarter. Due to stable

demand, mall rentals in other suburban locations

such as Andheri, Malad, Goregaon, Ghatkopar,

Thane and Vashi remained stable from the previous

quarter. Overall mall vacancies also remained

unchanged and were noted at 15.3% for 1Q 2014.

Demand for spaces on main-street locations was

driven by the F&B and apparel sectors. However,

stable demand resulted in landlords quoting similar

rentals from the previous quarter across all major

sub-markets.

Ready Residential Property Update

TRENDS AND UPDATES

With low demand levels, capital values of ready

residential properties continued to remain stable

during the quarter. Even in submarkets with healthy

supply and continued end-user demand such as

Thane and Navi Mumbai, capital values remained

stable during the quarter. With a number of under-

construction projects facing completion delays, end-

users preferred ready projects over under

construction properties.

* Estimated and as per market information

In 1Q 2014, Mumbai witnessed an overall office

space supply addition of 1.1 msf, 70% of which was in

Grade A developments. Overall supply increased by

21% from the previous quarter and was

concentrated in the sub-markets of Vashi (34%),

Lower Parel (24%) and Kanjurmarg (24%). With a

few companies deferring plans to take-up new space,

there was a decline in net-absorption during 1Q 2014.

Commercial Office Sector

With similar levels of supply and net-absorption in

Grade A developments, q-o-q vacancy declined

marginally to 19.7%. Rentals at all sub-markets

remained stable during the quarter except CBD,

which witnessed a decline due to lower demand.

Attractive rentals at Thane-Belapur road resulted in

pre-commitments of approximately 450,000 sf

during the quarter.

Western and central suburban locations witnessed

healthy construction activity during the quarter. With

new launches at attractive prices, capital values in

under construction projects remained stable during

Under Construction Residential Property Update

the quarter. A few developers also offered attractive

discounts in the high-end segment under

construction projects.

Retail Sector

Main street locations in Colaba, Andheri (West)

and Borivali continued to witness high level of enquiry

from F&B retailers. Limited availability of quality

spaces remains a concern especially in mature main-

streets such as Colaba, Breach Candy and Borivali.

With limited transactions and churn, rentals remained

stable across main-street locations. Mall rentals at

Mulund declined 4.6% during the quarter due to

existing high vacancy. A number of apparel and

footwear brands are expanding operations in

peripheral main-streets of Vasai and Virar due to

increasing residents in this region.

Page 39: Citibank property-insights-q1-2014

Outlook

Mumbai’s residential real estate demand is likely

to remain stable in 2Q 2014, resulting in stagnant

capital values from 1Q 2014. Developers are likely to

delay new launches and focus on clearing existing

unsold inventory. With economic fundamentals

likely to improve in 2H 2014, post general elections,

demand in the residential real estate sector might

revive.

In 2Q 2014, office space supply of 1.9 msf is

expected to be added in sub-markets of Goregaon

and Vikhroli. Net-absorption is likely to remain stable

in the upcoming quarter with transaction activity

concentrated in Andheri, Goregoan and Thane-

Belapur Road. Also, with stability in demand, rental

values are likely to remain unchanged in all major

submarkets in the short-term.

Demand for quality mall space is expected to

remain high from retailers who are planning store

expansions in the city. Limited availability and high

demand from F&B and apparel sectors for mall

spaces at Lower Parel, Malad and Goregaon could

result in rental appreciation in the short-term.

Demand for space at main-streets such as Chembur,

Borivali and Vashi is also expected to increase in the

upcoming quarter, resulting in rental values

appreciation at these locations.

Page 40: Citibank property-insights-q1-2014

National Capital Region

MARKET OVERVIEW

Due to current state of the economy and political

situation, NCR witnessed fewer launches in the first

quarter of 2014. New launches declined by 18% over

the previous quarter and were noted at around

6,500 units. More than 95% of the new units

launched in the quarter were in the mid-segment

and the remaining 5% were in the affordable

segment. This is a notable shift from the previous

quarter, which witnessed majority launches in the

affordable segment. Low demand continued to

impart pressure on rental and capital values across

most submarkets of NCR, resulting in capital and

rental value decline of 3-5% in many submarkets.

In 1Q 2014, NCR office sector also witnessed a

decline in supply due to completion delays in many

buildings. At 1.7 msf, Grade A supply in NCR declined

around 53% from the previous quarter.

Approximately 1 msf of pre-commitments were

noted during the quarter primarily from the IT-ITeS

companies. IT-ITeS sector also led the leasing

activity during this quarter, accounting for 46% of

total leasing followed by the Consulting and

Engineering sectors. Net absorption declined 18%

from the previous quarter and was noted at 1.4 msf.

The first quarter of 2014 did not witness any new

addition to the existing mall supply of NCR. Some

amount of transaction activity was witnessed in

select malls of South and North Delhi only. Main

street locations witnessed a number of transactions

in Connaught Place, Khan Market, South Extension

and DLF Galleria. In mall space, vacancy remained

almost similar to the previous quarter and was noted

at 13.4%. Rental values maintained status quo in

malls and main street locations.

TRENDS AND UPDATES

Ready Residential Property Update

In 1Q 2014, capital and rental values declined in the

range of 3-5% across submarkets of South Delhi,

primarily due to subdued transaction activity

prevailing for the past few quarters. Capital values in

Central Delhi maintained status quo owing to stable

supply-demand dynamics. Gurgaon and Noida

markets reported stagnant capital values in the high-

end segment from the previous quarter. In the luxury

and mid-end segment of Gurgaon, capital values

declined q-o-q by 5% and 3% respectively due to

sluggish demand and availability of ready-to-occupy

projects in the vicinity.

NCR witnessed new launches of approximately

Noida. Shifting from the last year’s trend when

launches were primarily in the affordable segment,

95% of the launches in 1Q 2014 were in mid-end

segment. Besides Noida, new units were also launched

New Residential Launches

on Sohna Road with an aim to capitalise on the fact

that it lies in proximity to the Golf Course road and Golf

Course Extension road. Some projects were launched

in Noida extension as well, a few of which were

additions to already existing projects. Due to the

uncertainty of upcoming elections, many developers

continued the soft-launch status of their projects.

* Estimated and as per market information

Developers continued to focus on completing

projects and clearing unsold inventory rather than

launching new projects. With projects nearing

completion and significant unsold inventory,

developers are hoping to increase sales with

Under Construction Residential Property Update

possession linked plan wherein the buyer pays 40-

60% of the amount in the initial stages and the

remaining only on possession. In 1Q 2014, around 8-10

projects gave phase-wise possession in their projects

across submarkets of Noida and Gurgaon.

Commercial Office Sector

The first quarter of 2014 witnessed Grade A

supply of 1.7 msf in the NCR office space sector, a

decline of 53% from the previous quarter. With some

completions in Aerocity, Delhi contributed nearly

30% to the new supply with the rest being in

Gurgaon. On the demand side, with a few deals in the

excess of 100,000 sf, IT-ITeS sector companies had

the highest share of leasing at 46%, followed by the

Consulting sector at 19% and Engineering taking up

9% of the total leased space in the quarter. The net

absorption was recorded at 1.35 msf for Grade A

space during the quarter.

Overall vacancy levels in Grade A properties

declined by 0.2 percentage points in the quarter.

Gurgaon’s CBD witnessed highest q-o-q decline of 1.8

percentage points with absorption mainly in the IT-

ITeS office spaces. Marginal weakening of rental

values was also noted across most of the

submarkets in NCR, primarily due to increased

availabilities in properties quoting lower rents.

42

Page 43: Citibank property-insights-q1-2014

The first quarter of 2014 did not witness any new

mall completions in NCR. However, four mixed-use

developments with retail space totaling 220,000 sf

became operational in Gurgaon and North Delhi.

Transaction activity during the quarter was primarily

in main street locations across submarkets of NCR.

The average store size take-up was noted around

Retail Sector

1,500 sf during this quarter. The demand was mainly

driven by apparels, F&B and personal care brands such

as Max, Louis Philippe, United Colors of Benneton,

Starbucks and Cafe Coffe Day. The rental values

remained stable during the quarter as both tenants

and landlords refrained from any rental change

amidst weak economic conditions.

With elections due in the short-term, residential

real estate transaction activity is expected to remain

subdued in the upcoming quarters. This is likely to

result in further weakening of capital and rental

values in NCR, especially in the south Delhi

submarket. Developers are expected to focus mainly

on completion of on-going projects and delay any

new launches. With sizeable number of units

scheduled for completion in the upcoming quarters,

rental and capital values in Noida and Gurgaon are

likely to remain under pressure.

Although the demand is likely to remain stable in

the next quarter, more than 4.7 msf of office space

supply is expected to be added to the NCR market in

Outlook

the next three months. More than 38% of the

upcoming supply is in Delhi and approximately 33%

in Gurgaon. This is likely to increase vacancy levels in

the submarkets and put pressure on the rental

values.

Lack of tenant interest and slow construction

activity have led to completion deferment of a few

malls in NCR. Similar to this quarter, no new mall

supply is expected to be added in the next quarter.

The anticipated churn in select South Delhi malls in

subsequent quarters is likely to strengthen the

rental values. However, the rental values across most

main streets are likely to remain stable considering

the steady demand.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Pune

Nearly 3,950 residential units were launched in

Pune during the first three months of 2014. The q-o-

q increase in number of unit launches was only 4%

as developers decided to delay launches post Gudi

Padwa and/or general elections, with an expectation

of pick-up in the transaction activity. In 1Q 2014, mid-

end segment contributed nearly 80% to the new

launches; the remaining came from the high-end

segment. High-end segment capital values

registered a 2-3% q-o-q capital appreciation in areas

such as Koregaon Park, Boat Club Road, Kalyani

Nagar, Viman Nagar, Aundh and Baner. Mid-end

segment capital values witnessed a mixed trend

during the quarter with some markets witnessing

appreciation while some others remained sticky at

the existing levels.

In 1Q 2014, 301,500 sf of office space was added to

the Pune market, none of which was IT-ITeS

development. 49,500 sf of supply was contributed by

Grade A developments located in CBD, which was the

only Grade A supply during the quarter. The total net

absorption in this quarter was only 622,900 sf. This

led to a decline of 0.7 percentage points in the overall

vacancy, which was noted at 25.6% in 1Q 2014.

In 1Q 2014, Pune’s organized retail sector

continued to depict a preference for main streets as

compared to the malls. Rentals at most of the main

streets remained stable or depicted a slight upward

shift from the previous quarter. However, majority of

the malls excluding Hadapsar micromarket

witnessed a q-o-q decline in rentals or registered no

price movement during the quarter. New supply

addition of 350,000 sf in this quarter pushed up the

overall city-level mall vacancy by 1.0 percentage

point and was noted at 27.5%.

TRENDS AND UPDATES

Ready Residential Property Update

The capital values remained stable in the

secondary market amidst sluggish demand.

However, subsequent phases of new projects were

launched at higher capital values. Nearly 400 units

were handed over in Ivy Estate, Wagholi during this

quarter. The upcoming quarter is likely to witness

one more significant project completion apart from

handover of more units at Ivy Estate.

New Residential Launches

Number of new launches in the city hovered at

around 3,500-4,000 units for the third consecutive

quarter. In 1Q 2014, 3,950 units were added to the

Pune residential market, a 4% q-o-q increase. This

decline in launches could majorly be attributed to

inventory pile-up amidst sluggish sales which forced

developers to postpone new project launches. Areas

such as Balewadi, Tathawade, Wakad and Marunji

along the NH4 Bypass stretch accounted for nearly

33% of new launches during the quarter, with

additional 18% being contributed by peripheral

locations such as Talegaon, Gahunje, Katraj, etc.

Areas such as Hinjewadi, Baner, Balewadi,

Mahalunge and Wakad along the NH4 Bypass stretch

witnessed significant construction activity during the

quarter. Majority of the areas along this corridor

witnessed q-o-q and y-o-y capital appreciation of

nearly 6% and 11% respectively in the mid-end

segment. This appreciation was primarily due to

Under Construction Residential Property Update

demand for residential units in proximity to the

commercial hubs in Pune. Significant construction

activity was also noted along the southern stretch of

NH4 Bypass comprising of areas such as Bibwewadi,

Katraj, Ambegaon and Sinhagad Road. Construction

activity along the eastern corridor was dominated in

areas such as Hadapsar, Manjri, Kharadi and Wagholi.

In 1Q 2014, 731,600 sf of total office space was

leased in Pune which was concentrated mainly in

areas such as Hinjewadi, Viman Nagar, Aundh and

Yerwada. These four areas were the major activity

hotspots of the quarter, contributing to 85% and

68% of the leasing respectively in Grade A and All

Commercial Office Sector

Grade spaces. 1Q 2014 recorded total net absorption

of 622,900 sf, a 13% q-o-q and 26% y-o-y decline. IT-

ITeS occupiers accounted for 53% of the leasing in

1Q 2014. Weighted average rentals witnessed a

mixed trend across submarkets, with overall city

rentals remaining stable from the previous quarter.

Koregaon Park and Camp submarkets witnessed

9.1% and 3.3% dip in mall rentals respectively. Due to

persistent demand, Nagar Road registered stability

in mall rental values from the previous quarter.

However, pick-up in leasing activity in a newly

opened mall led to 10% quarterly rise in rental values

at Hadapsar. Amongst main streets, JM Road and

Retail Sector

Bund Garden Road depicted stability in rentals. MG

Road, FC Road and Aundh registered 3.2%, 2.1% and

2.9% q-o-q rise due to increase in enquiries and

comparatively limited supply. Koregaon Park was

the only main street location, which registered a

3.7% quarterly decline in rentals, primarily due to

reduced enquiries from the retailers.

The residential launch activity is expected to

pick-up in the coming quarter as many developers

are planning new launches after Gudi Padwa and/or

general elections. Capital and rental values are

however likely to remain stable due to existing high

unsold inventory. New launches are expected to be

concentrated in the mid-end segment along the

peripheral locations of the city.

Nearly 4.9 msf of office supply is expected to be

delivered by the end of 2014, a significant portion of

which has been already delayed. Considerable

amount of supply might spill over to the next year due

to construction delays and only 1.5 msf is likely to be

delivered in the next two quarters. However, the

vacancy levels are likely to remain constant in the next

six months as transaction activity is expected to

Outlook

remain stable. In the short-term, rental values are also

expected to remain stable at current levels.

Pune is likely to witness stability in rental values

in majority of its main streets in the upcoming

quarter. However, mall rentals are likely to witness a

mixed trend with stability in Nagar Road and

Hadapsar due to new supply addition and a likely

decline in Camp and Koregaon Park amidst dip in

enquiries from retailers. Due to expected mall supply

of 430,000 sf and subdued leasing activity, overall

vacancy levels might increase in the next quarter.
