India office market performance 2015 & trends to watch for in 2016Most cities in ‘sweet spot’ in terms of office supply and demand fundamentals, indicating strong outlook

2015 was another solid year for the Indian office market, with improvements in both demand and supply. The office market got its much needed support at macro economy level. The economy expanded to 7.40% in 2015 underpinned by low inflation, low interest rates and growth in investments. We have recorded about 40.21 million sq ft office space lease transactions excluding pre-commitment of another 3 million sq ft in India’s eight major cities. This was about 15% more than the absorption in 2014. New construction continued to trend upwards, reaching nearly 32 million sq ft in 2015, up from 24 million sq ft in 2014. The ratio of absorption to new supply, one of the key metrics we use to gauge the supply-demand balance of the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) markets, indicates that office users absorbed more amount of space, than what was added to new supply indicating dropping vacancy rates.

Bengaluru, with about 13.43 million sq ft of office absorption and 12.85 million sq ft of new construction continued to hold its number one position across cities. The city shared about 33% and 41% respectively, in total absorption and new supply among eight major cities in India this year. Mumbai and NCR office transaction volume reached a post-recession high of 6.57 and 9.10 million sq ft in 2015 witnessing an increase of 111% and 18% from last year, respectively. Pune and Kolkata shared 12% and 2% in the total office absorption.

The occupier group made their long-pending decisions and India saw some big ticket office deals in 2015, such as ‘Wells

7 Research & Forecast Report | January 2016 | <<India>> | Colliers International

Fargo’ took 0.8million sq ft in Bengaluru, ‘Snapdeal’ took 0.5 million sq ft in Gurgaon, ‘Abbott’ took 0.4 million sq ft in Mumbai, ‘Yes Bank’ took 0.4 million sq ft in Chennai and ‘Siemens’ took 0.3 million sq ft in Pune. The demand was primarily driven by technology sector while e-commerce emerged as a significant contributor of this demand within this sector. Across cities, Grade A office space in suburban markets remained in preference for technology occupiers who were the top contributors to the office demand.

The real estate sentiments further boosted due to some of the key announcements such as rationalisation of the capital gains tax for REITs and InvITs, subject to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (STT), relaxation in FDI norms for real estate sector, inclusion of CRE in the ambit of Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) bill etc.

Private equity activity in the commercial sector continued to gain momentum. Institutional investors, both domestic and overseas, are demonstrating an increased appetite and willingness to engage. The commercial market witnessed several leased asset sales such as Abbott India Ltd bought Godrej BKC, Mumbai for INR 1,479 crore, CPPIB-Shapoorji Pallonji bought S P Infocity, Chennai for INR 1,340 crore, Blackstone invested INR 1,060 crore to buy 247 Park from HCC Real Estate Ltd. in Mumbai.

Trends to watch for in 2016

Outlook for office market looks strong, as currently, most of the Indian markets are in the “sweet spot” in terms of supply-and-demand fundamentals. In 2015, most of the cities witnessed low vacancy, a steady increase in development activity and less speculative development. The combination of positive economy, stronger job growth prospect and limited and targeted construction activity bodes well for the market in 2016.

Occupiers across all sectors will continue to become more space efficient, doing more with less space as their leases come up for renewal. But as hiring activity is expected to increase further, firms will need more space to house additional workers.

Looking at the RFPs floating in the market, the office real estate market in 2016 is expected to be at par with 2015 in terms of office absorption though capital and rental values are likely to remain stable. Nevertheless, for Grade A office space, rents are expected to strengthen for quality office space in almost all the micro markets.

We expect that private enterprise will play a major role in the industrial and warehousing sector, given the government’s push for “Make in India” and the rise of e-tailing. Also, if REITs take off this year, the office market will see more overseas investment in 2016 with big capital chasing limited premium office developments.

Mumbai shows strong demandOffice absorption doubles in 2015, over 6.5 million sq ft recorded

2015 was a solid year for the Mumbai office market with absorption totaling 6.57 million sq ft; this was more than double of last year’s absorption of 3.12 million sq ft. Apart from this, IT/ITeS giant TCS has pre-committed 2 million sq ft in Hiranandani Estate, Thane, which is expected to materalise by 3Q 2018. Sector wise, BFSI commanded the absorption with about 34% share, followed by IT/ITeS 28% and Pharma 15%. Western Suburbs micro market including, Andheri (E), Malad, Goregaon (E), Jogeshwari (E) outperformed with more than 32% of the total absorption, followed by BKC (Bandra-Kurla-Complex) 22%, Navi Mumbai 16%, Central Suburbs & Central Mumbai 12% each, Thane 5% and CBD 2%.

This year, we recorded a number of outright transactions in office market including, purchase of about 400,000 sq ft office space in, ‘Godrej BKC’, by Abbott India; 200,000 sq ft by Axis Bank in ‘The Ruby’, developed by Ruby Group at Dadar; and 100,000 sq ft each by SBI and Edelweiss in L&T Sea Woods and Kohinoor City located at Navi Mumbai and Kurla, respectively.

Equivalent to our last year’s forecast, more than 3.36 million sq ft of new supply was added in 2015. Till 4Q 2015, approximately 7.6 million sq ft of vacant Grade A office space was available for lease or sale in the Mumbai office market. Most of this supply was situated in Andheri (E) and Thane/ LBS Marg 19% each, Worli/ Prabhadevi 13%, Navi Mumbai 12%, BKC & Powai 9% each, Malad 7%, Goregaon 5%, Lower Parel 3% and CBD & Kalina 2% each. Due to robust absorption and limited new supply, the overall vacancy levels fell in 2015 from 14% in 2014 to 13% in 2015.

Office rents witnessed an average increase of about 1% YoY across the micro-markets. A few locations, such as CBD, Andheri (E), Navi Mumbai and Powai recorded an increase in

the range of 4 to 6%, while Worli/ Prabhadevi witnessed an annual decrease of about 5%.

This year, the state Government has given nod to new Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) policy. The policy aims at making state an IT, animation and gaming industry hub by attracting INR 50,000 crore of investment and creating 1 million jobs by 2020.

Trends to watch for in 2016

The office market of Mumbai has started showing strong fundamentals, which is evident from the revived occupier demand. With the new state government in place and positive vibes from the centre in terms of favourable policies for the city’s real estate and major infrastructure projects, the city is likely to augur well in 2016. Over the next six months, we anticipate a rise in commercial demand in this market with tenants seeking quality office space. Given the lack of supply and increasing demand, we also expect a positive outlook for landlords, while in the second half of 2016, approximately 11 million sq ft office supply is expected to hit the market, which will help to keep rents stable during the year.

Notes: 1. Office Market: The major business locations in Mumbai are the CBD (Nariman Point, Fort and Ballard Estate), Central Mumbai (Worli, Lower Parel and Parel), Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and Andheri Kurla stretch. Powai, Malad and Vashi are the preferred IT/ ITES destinations, while Airoli at Navi Mumbai and Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg are emerging as new office and IT/ITES submakets. 2. Rents/Capital Value: Market average of indicative asking price for Grade A office space. 3. Available Supply: Total Grade A office space being marketed for sale or lease in surveyed quarter. 4. City Barometer: Represents increase, decrease or stable scenario; as compared to previous quarter. 5. All the figures in the report is based on market information as on 25th December 2015.

Delhi office market takes a step back in 2015Absorption plunged down by 25% YoY to 0.89 million sq ft

Delhi witnessed over 0.89 million sq ft of office absorption during this year, which was about 25% less than the 2014 absorption of 1.18 million sq ft. CBD with 34% share in the total absorption remained the most preferred location among occupiers. Newly developed office micro market Aerocity also grabbed about 26% share in this demand while Saket and Jasola shared only 12% and 8%, respectively. This year, the average deal size has gone down to 9,500 sq ft as compared to last year’s 16,500 sq ft which may be the primary reason for fall in absorption.

Sector wise, BFSI, with a 32% share in absorption, holds the top position, followed by IT/ITeS 30%, Manufacturing 12%, Pharma 10% and others 16%. In notable office transactions, Hike took 60,000 sq ft in Bharti Worldmark at Aerocity, VFS Global & HP took 50,000 sq ft each in R Cube Centre and Red Fort Capital Tower, both located at Connaught Place and Amarchand Mangaldas took 44,000 sq ft in Religare House located at Saket.

In 2015, about 0.91 million sq ft of new supply was added to the city’s Grade A commercial office space. This new supply was primarily concentrated in Okhla, Mohan Cooperative, Aerocity and Pusa Road. Currently, the city has about 1.8 million sq ft of vacant stock available for lease/sale. Limited new supply addition resulted in marginal decrease in the city vacancy levels.

Despite low absorption, average rents in Delhi increased by 2% YoY, while Connaught Place and Jasola, recorded a 2% YoY decline in rents. Capital values on an average increased by 4% YoY across the micro markets, except Saket where capital values declined by 10% YoY.

approved a commercial project on 51 hectare land named “Dwarka Centre” near metro corridor in Dwarka. The project will include a 14-hectare Dwarka Business Centre, which will act as a financial hub for banks and financial institutions.

Trends to watch for in 2016

We expect an increase in absorption in 2016, especially from BFSI, IT/ITeS, Media & Entertainment and Government sector. Micro markets like Connaught Place, Aero City, Saket and Okhla will continue to see maximum traction.

The city has a number of under construction projects such as “Skipper House” at Barakhamba Road, “Parsvnath 27” at KG Marg, “RPS Infinia” alongside Mathura Road and NBCC Plaza at Kidwai Nagar which are likely to add more than 4 million sq ft of commercial office space. However, we are not expecting much new supply in 2016 as all these projects will take atleast 2-3 years for completion. Thus in the next 12 months, there will be a marginal upward pressure on rents. Besides this, the premium Grade A buildings will continue to demand premium due to limited availability.

Gurgaon 2015, the best for office market in last 5 yearsWith 5.59 million sq ft, office absorption reached to the levels of 2011

2015 was the best year for office market in the last 5 years. The city recorded 5.59 million sq ft of office leasing, which was about 18% more than the last year’s absorption of 4.73 million sq ft. Growth was predominantly driven by IT/ITeS and BFSI sectors, sharing about 64% and 20%, respectively. The average deal size increased from 27,700 sq ft to 31,300 sq ft this year and approximately 40% of the transactions fell in the range of 50,000 to 150,000 sq ft. Micro-market wise, Udyog Vihar shares about 23% of the total absorption, followed by Golf Course road 17%, Golf Course Road Extension/Sohna Road 17%, DLF Cyber City and National Highway 8 (NH 8) 12% each, Institutional Sectors 10%, and others like MG Road, Gwal Pahari etc shared 9%. Golf Course road and its extension remained the most preferred market among occupiers; the market is expected to improve connectivity with Delhi tremendously once the metro becomes operational.

The strong demand was complemented by robust new construction. The year witnessed approximately 4.77 million sq ft of new construction, about 49% more than the previous year’s new supply of 3.20 million sq ft. Major projects completed during the year include, “Two Horizon Centre” (1.2 million sq ft) at Golf Course Road, “DLF Corporate Greens” (0.69 million sq ft) at Sector 74A and “JMD Empire” (0.45 million sq ft) at Sector 62. Beside this, more than 10.2 million sq ft of office space is available for lease in the Gurgaon market; about 32% of this vacant stock was located in Udyog Vihar and Industrial Sectors, followed by NH 8 19%, Golf Course Road Extension and Sohna Road 15%, Manesar 11%, Golf Course Road 9%, M G Road 5% and Institutional Sectors 4%. The city witnessed decrease in vacancy levels this year.

Rents showed a mixed pattern this year, a few micro markets,

such as DLF Cyber City, Golf Course Road and MG Road recorded an increase in the range of 2 to 14% YoY due to limited supply, while NH 8, Udyog Vihar and Manesar witnessed an annual decrease of about 6%. This resulted in a marginal increase of 1% yoy in average Grade A office rents.

On the infrastructure front, the State Government has infused fresh funds of INR 1,200 crores for Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway project. The completion of the expressway would not only provide high speed link to northern Haryana with its southern districts like Gurgaon, Faridabad and Palwal, but also de-congest National Capital Territory of Delhi. Also, construction work of Rapid metro rail extension from Sikanderpur metro station to Sector 56 is in its advance stages and the entire stretch is likely to be ready by end of 2016.

Trends to watch for in 2016

We forecast robust occupier demand in 2016 due to a number of large RFPs already floating in the market. However, market may see some consolidation among e-commerce occupiers which took large spaces in 2015. Among premium occupiers NH-8, Golf Course Road, its extension and Cyber City will continue to remain the preferred choice while occupiers looking for affordability will focus on micro markets such as Udyog Vihar, Institutional sectors, Sohna Road and Manesar. Rents are expected to increase marginally in select micro markets.

Notes: 1. Office Market: The prime business locations in Gurgaon are MG Road, Golf Course Road, Cyber City and Udyog Vihar. Manesar on the outskirts of Gurgaon is also emerging as the city’s new office destination. 2. Rents/Capital Value: Market average of indicative asking price for Grade A office space. 3. Available Supply: Total Grade A office space being marketed for sale or lease in surveyed quarter. 4.

Trends to watch for in 2016

The market will continue to garner the interest of cost sensitive occupiers and is expected to witness increase in absorption. Despite huge vacancy, developers who have sold their office projects on strata sale basis will to add speculative supply in the market. This will keep rental levels low and vacancy levels high in the market.

Chennai Office market reboundsTechnology sector drives the demand; absorption up by 25%YoY

Chennai office absorption remained in line with Colliers last year’s forecast of about 5 million sq ft; this was 25% more than the previous year’s absorption of 4.11 million sq ft. This year, a number large size lease transactions were concluded by technology and BFSI sectors and companies such as Accenture, took over 718,000 sq ft in Shriram Gateway SEZ and Divyashree located along GST Road and OMR, respectively; Yes Bank leased 400,000 sq ft in India Bulls; Ericsson and BNP Paribas both leased more than 200,000 sq ft in SP Infocity and Center Point 2.

About 71% of the total absorption was contributed by IT/ITeS firms, followed by BFSI 9%, Pharma 7%, Manufacturing 5%, Engineering 4% and others 3%. Micro market wise OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road) with 45% share in overall demand, remained the most preferred micro market, followed by CBD, off CBD, GST Road and MPR (Mount Poonamallee Road) which together accounts for 42% absorption and 12% by Ambattur and Manapakkam.

In 2015, Chennai witnessed about 3.16 million sq ft of new office supply. Most of this new supply was concentrated in Rajiv Gandhi Salai (IT Corridor). Major project completed during the year was “Chennai One SEZ- North Block” (1.2 million sq ft) by IG3 infra Ltd., which alone contributes 38% of this new supply.

Till December 2015, the total available supply for lease / fit-out stood at 5.8 million sq ft. By micro-market, OMR (IT corridor-pre & post toll) accounted for about 56% of this total available supply, followed by Ambattur 18%, CBD 18%, Off CBD 5%, GST Road and MPR together 3%. Limited new construction completions and increased absorption has led to decrease in vacancy levels to 14% in 2015 from last year vacancy levels of 19.5%.

A few micro markets such as CBD, OMR (Pre Toll) and GST Road witnessed an increase in rents in the range of 4 to 7% while OMR (Post Toll) recorded 7% decrease this year. The asking rents in Ambattur increased significantly from INR 26 - 32 to INR 30 - 38 per sq ft. This is due to the significant drop in vacancy levels after few large transactions concluded in this market.

In a private equity investment, Brookfield Asset Management has picked up 80% stake in an upcoming 200 acres industrial park in Sriperumbudur which is apparently being developed by Bengaluru-based realty developer Embassy Group.

Trends to watch for in 2016

Chennai office market is expected to continue momentum led by IT/ITeS and BFSI sectors. OMR and CBD, being preferred locations will see more demand and thus can witness an upward pressure in rents. In last 2-3 years, Chennai does not witness substantial new launches. This was primarily due to high vacancy levels. This year also we are forecasting limited new construction as market will be recovering with recent flood massacre. Moreover we may see delay in various approval process due to upcoming elections. This will result in further decline in vacancy levels.

Despite, large new supply addition the vacancy levels for Grade A office market declined marginally as demand superseded the supply. Bengaluru has ample of new supply in the pipeline of approximately 21 million sq ft in next 3 years, which will further keep the vacancy levels the same in the coming years, due to high occupier demand.

To support the rapid real estate growth in the city, Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has levied 5% Metro Rail cess on the guidance value of the total land area of new layouts and high-rise buildings. Also for the Metro Phase II Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) had signed a sovereign loan agreement for €200 million (INR 1,500 crore) with Agence Francaise Development (AFD).

In a major land transaction this year, Embassy Group has acquired 100 acre land for INR 500 crore to develop the business park from Cornerstone Group in Varthur near Whitefield.

Trends to watch for in 2016

Over the next 12 months, the outlook for office market looks positive with a number of companies such as HCL, Thomas Reuters, Mercedes, Netmagic, GE, are on an expansion spree within the city. Vacancy rates are expected to remain flat, as new supply is likely to supplement the demand. However rents are likely to rise marginally in select micro markets such as ORR – Marthalli – Sarjapur and North Bengaluru due to limited Grade A vacant stock.

Kolkata occupiers remained cautious

Office absorption down by 60% YoY in 2015, but 2016 looks positive

Office absorption in Kolkata declined to 1 million sq ft in 2015; down by about 60% from previous year of 1.66 million sq ft. IT /ITeS remained as the key occupiers with 46% share in the total absorption, followed by Pharma 11%, BFSI 10% and Engineering, Manufacturing and Logistics at 8% each and remaining 9% by FMCG , Media & Entertainment sector. Location wise Sector V/ New Town saw maximum traction with 89% share in absorption, followed by CBD & New CBD 10% and SBD 1%. Among the renowned deals this year, British Telecom took 0.10 million sq ft in DLF SEZ at New Town, Cerner Corporation took 70,000 sq ft in Martin Burn Business Park at Sector V and Reliance Jio took 50,000 sq ft in Globsyn Crystal at Sector V.

Despite weak demand, in line with our last year’s forecast, the city saw about 2.17 million sq ft of new construction in 2015; this is almost double than one year earlier. Major completions this year include”Godrej Genesis” measuring 1.3 million sq ft by Godrej Properties located at Sector V, “Unitech Infospace Phase 3A & 3B” 0.50 million sq ft by Unitech Ltd. at Rajarhat and “Arch Waterfront” 0.27 million sq ft by Arch Group located at Sector V.

In 2015, both capital values and rents declined in the range of 2 – 4% YoY, except in CBD and PBD micro markets which saw stable rents this year. Decline in absorption and increase in new supply pushed the vacancy upward.

In a significant private equity transaction, Milestone Capital Advisors exited from “Millennium Tower-I”, located in Rajarhat New Town. The building is occupied by IBM. According to VCCircle market reports, the company exited its investment of INR 57 crore made in March 2008 for over INR 91 crores, which includes rental income of around INR 34 crores earned over a period of 7 years.

Trends to watch for in 2016

Although absorption remained on lower side in 2015, but in the last quarter few technology giants such as IBM and PWC have shown interest to consider Kolkata market again for their office requirements. If this materialises, the city is likely to see increase in absorption in next 12 months.

We anticipate rents to remain on the same levels in CBD and SBD locations, but select micro markets like Salt Lake and New Town may witness a decline on account of piled up inventory and huge supply pipeline.

Notes: 1. Office Market: The major business locations in Kolkata are CBD (Park Street, Camac Street, Chowranghee Rd, AJC Bose Rd), East Kolkata (EM Bypass, Topsia, Ruby), Salt Lake/ Sector V and New Town / Rajarhat. 2. Rents/Capital Value: Market average of indicative asking price for Grade A office space. 3. Available Supply: Total Grade A office space being marketed for sale or lease in surveyed quarter. 4. City Barometer: Represents increase, decrease or stable scenario; as compared to previous quarter. 5. All the figures in the report is based on market information as on 25th December2015.

Pune upholds office absorption, crosses 5 million sq ftIT/ITeS remained as the prime driver with 74% of the total absorption

Riding on the back of robust leasing from IT/ITeS sector, the city recorded highest office absorption of 5.03 million sq ft in 2015; this is about 2.4% more than the last year’s number of 4.91 million sq ft. Locations in the east, such as Viman Nagar, Yerwada, Station Road and Hinjewadi outshined other micro markets with more than 40% of the total absorption, followed by Bavdhan, Hadapsar/ Phursungi 17% and CBD 14%. Some notable transactions this year include, Siemens India taking 0.34 million sq ft in Panchshil Business Park - Tower C located at Balewadi, Amazon, Vodafone India, L&T, BNY Mellon, UBS, Concentrix Corporation and Seagate Technology taking over 0.1 million sq ft each in various Grade A buildings located in Nagar Road, Hinjewadi, Airport Road and Kharadi micro markets.

Contradictory to our last year’s predication of 5.12 million sq ft new supply, only 3.5 million sq ft of new construction was completed in 2015. This is because, a few projects were deferred for completion in 2016. Robust absorption and less new construction has resulted in drop in vacancy levels, to about 20.5%. Major projects completed during the year were, “Marvel Edge” (0.3 million sq ft) by Marvel Group at Viman Nagar, “Cello Platina” (0.16 million sq ft) by Cello at F C Road and “Supreme HQ” (0.1 million sq ft) by Supreme Landmarks at Baner. The total vacant stock as of 4Q 2015 was about 3.9 million sq ft. Most of this supply was located in Hinjewadi 23%, Airport Road/Station Road 15%, Nagar Road 14%, Bund Garden 13%, Kharadi 10%, Senapati Bapat Marg 8%, Kalyani Nagar 6%, and rest 11% was shared by Baner, Hadapsar and Bavdhan micro markets

During the year, average rents registered an increase of 7%

YoY, which was contributed by micro markets like Airport Road/ Station Road, Hinjewadi, Hadpsar/ Fursungi, Senapati Bapat Road, Baner, Kalyani Nagar & Nagar Road. Capital values were also marginally up by 2% YoY in select micro markets.

This year HDFC PMS has exited its investment in a commercial & six residential projects of Marvel Realtors for over INR 152 crore.

Trends to watch for in 2016

Pune will continue to garner interest of technology firms due to its affordable rents and availability of large talent pool. In the last two years Pune market has not witnessed many new launches as developers remained cautious in adding more speculative supply. Thus, we are not expecting much new supply addition this year and predict that vacancy will decline further. Rents and capital values are expected to inch-up marginally across micro markets for Grade A premium buildings.

Notes: 1. Office Market: The prime office sub-markets of Pune include CBD (Deccan Gymkhana, Bund Garden Road, Senapati Bapat Road & Camp), Off CBD (Aundh, Airport Road and Kalyani Nagar) and the eastern corridor, along with Nagar Road and Kharadi, which have emerged as a preferred location for financial and IT/ITES companies. 2. Rents/Capital Value: Market average of indicative asking price for Grade A office space. 3. Available Supply: Total Grade A office space being marketed for sale or lease in surveyed quarter. 4. City Barometer: Represents increase, decrease or stable scenario; as compared to previous quarter. 5. All the figures in the report is based on market information as on 25th December 2015.
