HIGHLIGHTS GLOBAL OFFICE WWW.COLLIERS.COM SECOND HALF 2011 | OFFICE JAMES COOK Director of Research | USA Global Office Trend Forecast Global office vacancies will continue their decline, due to steady demand and low levels of new construction in North America and Europe. The “flight to quality” trend will continue in many major markets, with occupiers trading up to higher-quality space or a better location as their leases expire. The European sovereign debt crisis will likely push the Eurozone into a mild recession in early 2012. This contraction will be felt most profoundly in a handful of commercial property markets within the most troubled nations. Economic prospects in the Eurozone have slightly reduced overall positive global expectations for market performance in 2012. We expect continuing modest demand for office space, with most cities seeing a drop in vacancy rates. But global averages do not speak to the nuances of individual markets, and—while we expect positive absorption due to business growth and expansion in the United States, China and Australia—some Eurozone countries may see negative absorption and increased vacancy as the region enters a mild recession.

Santiago, Chile; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; São Paulo, Brazil; and Lima, Peru all have vacancy rates below three percent, resulting in a market that strongly favors landlords, prompts new construction and might squeeze some tenants that desire to expand. For the most part, we expect the strength of these markets to persist. While decreases in European demand for its commodities will likely hurt Latin America, this will be tempered by continued demand from China. In São Paolo, heightened demand has spurred the highest rates of new development in the region, which will eventually put downward pressure on asking rents. Select Asia Pacific Markets See Big Vacancy Drops The global trend in dropping vacancy rates should be evi- dent in Asia and continue through 2012. Markets that saw a drop in vacancy in the second half of 2011 outnumbered by a two-to-one margin those where vacancy increased. Of the world’s most populous markets, those with the most significant declines in six-month vacancy rates were nearly all in the Asia Pacific region. Chengdu, propelled by its strong manufacturing sector, saw its vacancy rate drop by 7.8 percent in the period, and Shanghai saw a 3.2 percent drop in vacancy. Two other large Asian markets saw vacancy rates drop by 1.5 percent or more: Jakarta, which has also seen sustained growth in CBD rental rates and renewed global investor interest; and Singapore, where occupancies are expected to stabilize. Marquee Markets See Rent Decline While Hong Kong, London’s West End and Paris command the top three highest asking rents for Class A office space, each has shown apparent decline in rents between June and December of 2011, when quoted in U.S. dollars. Substantial declines, in fact: led by a $10.87 USD drop in Parisian Class A rents. But how significant are these figures? The change in London and Paris rents is due to the strengthening dollar relative to the euro and pound sterling. In local currency, prime rents in these markets are holding ground. Although smaller, the decline in Hong Kong of $7.56 USD ($5.10 HKD) per square foot may be a more important indicator of things to come, as demand from the banking and financial sector continue to weaken. EMEA and Asia Pacific Lead Global Construction A significant percentage of the office space under construction is in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and much of that is occurring in Moscow and Dubai. While both of these markets should expect strong economic growth in 2012, the fact that Dubai—with a vacancy rate of 50 percent—is constructing at such a pace leads us to expect that supply will continue to outpace demand in that market. The other two top markets for office construction are in the Asia Pacific region. Guangzhou—China’s leading commercial port city—and Tokyo have 19.6 and 15.6 million square feet under construction respectively. Asian economic growth rates will remain strong in the coming months, with China and India leading the pack. Rents are on the rise in most cities in the region. However, dropping rents in Seoul and Hong Kong are a potential indicator of global economic uncertainty. In Tokyo, where new supply has been increasing for the past three years, we expect construction to peak and begin to decline in the coming year. CLASS A / NET RENT (USD/SQ FT)

description

Colliers International Research has just released Global Office Highlights H2 2011 covering all global markets across Asia Pacific, EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa), Latin America and North America. The biannual report from Colliers International consists of gross and net average rental rates (data as of December 31, 2011) of grade A office space as well as forecast for 2012 onwards. According to Colliers International’s research, global vacancy rates will continue to decrease due to the steady demand and low levels of construction particularly in North America and Europe. Another positive trend in many leading markets is the increased interest in occupiers towards higher quality office space or better locations when renewing their leases.
