Monthly Real Estate Monitor – March 2013 Real Estate Capital Markets: Predictions for 2013 In 2013, the availability of debt capital is likely to increase in real estate projects whilst the flow of equity capital will remain more or less stable. As there are additional cuts expected in cash reserve ratio (CRR) and repo rates that will infuse more liquidity into the system, the bid-ask spreads will also decrease, increasing overall transaction volume in 2013. Cross-border flow of capital will begin to make a gradual comeback in the year ahead. Cap rates for office and retail properties are likely to descend to 10.5% and 11.5% from 11% and 12%, respectively. Investors will focus more on transparency, governance and liquidity before investing. Given the on-going challenges that the Indian real estate sector faces on these fronts, very few development companies will be successful on the public equity markets. Nevertheless, private equity (PE) deals volumes will increase, and there will be more M&A activity within the PE industry. A number of vintage funds who have invested during 2007–2008 will have to look at exiting in 2013, some of them at low internal rate of return (IRR). Given the overall uncertainties, these funds may look at postponing their exits to 2014. Insurance firms will start investing directly in low-risk, income producing office real estate. Investment bidders per property will increase, this time around with lower return expectations. Investment periods of funds will reduce from five years to four years. In 2013, after a lull of two years, banks are likely to start offering construction finance to residential projects with approvals. They will also be slightly more flexible on interest rates, collaterals, loan-to- value (LTV) and upfront fees. Established funds are expected to get back into the fund raising mode after a three-year hiatus. Developers with longer operating history such as Oberoi Realty, Sobha Developers and Prestige Estates will continue to find it easier to raise funds. This is because these developers have managed to grow effectively over the years and have increased predictability of income. With the accent for 2013 remaining firmly on local expansion, it is unlikely that any major developer will venture out to expand nationally. Also, we will see developers focusing more on joint ventures with landlords rather than on buying land. In 2013, we will see most PE deals being structured to give the investor the first preference to cash flows. Most real estate PE investment will be focused on Tier I cities. Funds with a good track record that have a strategy to target a narrow asset class within specific locations such as the last mile funding for residential houses under construction projects in Tier 1 cities and having strong delivery teams will be able to raise funds more easily. Regulatory authorities will increase their scrutiny of private fund raising offerings and closely monitor if the funds raised by the companies are being used for stated objectives. PE funds will raise distressed real estate funds and get traction from bank non-performing assets (NPAs) and asset reconstruction companies (ARCs). A number of new domestic real estate PE funds backed by corporate entities are likely to be launched in 2013. Also, large family offices will now begin creating dedicated real estate teams.

Monthly Real Estate Monitor – March 2013

Real Estate Capital Markets: Predictions for 2013 In 2013, the availability of debt capital is likely to increase in real estate projects whilst the flow of equity capital will remain more or less stable. As there are additional cuts expected in cash reserve ratio (CRR) and repo rates that will infuse more liquidity into the system, the bid-ask spreads will also decrease, increasing overall transaction volume in 2013. Cross-border flow of capital will begin to make a gradual comeback in the year ahead. Cap rates for office and retail properties are likely to descend to 10.5% and 11.5% from 11% and 12%, respectively.

Investors will focus more on transparency, governance and liquidity before investing. Given the on-going challenges that the Indian real estate sector faces on these fronts, very few development companies will be successful on the public equity markets. Nevertheless, private equity (PE) deals volumes will increase, and there will be more M&A activity within the PE industry. A number of vintage funds who have invested during 2007–2008 will have to look at exiting in 2013, some of them at low internal rate of return (IRR). Given the overall uncertainties, these funds may look at postponing their exits to 2014.

Insurance firms will start investing directly in low-risk, income producing office real estate. Investment bidders per property will increase, this time around with lower return expectations. Investment periods of funds will reduce from five years to four years.

In 2013, after a lull of two years, banks are likely to start offering construction finance to residential projects with approvals. They will also be slightly more flexible on interest rates, collaterals, loan-to-value (LTV) and upfront fees. Established funds are expected to get back into the fund raising mode after a three-year hiatus.

Developers with longer operating history such as Oberoi Realty, Sobha Developers and Prestige Estates will continue to find it easier to raise funds. This is because these developers have managed to grow effectively over the years and have increased predictability of income. With the accent for 2013 remaining firmly on local expansion, it is unlikely that any major developer will venture out to

expand nationally. Also, we will see developers focusing more on joint ventures with landlords rather than on buying land.

In 2013, we will see most PE deals being structured to give the investor the first preference to cash flows. Most real estate PE investment will be focused on Tier I cities. Funds with a good track record that have a strategy to target a narrow asset class within specific locations such as the last mile funding for residential houses under construction projects in Tier 1 cities and having strong delivery teams will be able to raise funds more easily. Regulatory authorities will increase their scrutiny of private fund raising offerings and closely monitor if the funds raised by the companies are being used for stated objectives.

PE funds will raise distressed real estate funds and get traction from bank non-performing assets (NPAs) and asset reconstruction companies (ARCs). A number of new domestic real estate PE funds backed by corporate entities are likely to be launched in 2013. Also, large family offices will now begin creating dedicated real estate teams.

Deal of the Month Prestige Estates and KL Hitec Secure Print has

bought 5.8 acres of land in Hitec City, Hyderabad in a

joint venture. They will develop a luxury residential project of 1.2 million sq ft on

the site.

What’s New!! The new development plan by

Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) has proposed to create a new “affordable housing zone” for the city and has raised

the Floor Space Index (FSI) across different pockets of the city

in February 2013.

Green Wall TERI (The Energy Research Institute) and OTDC (Odisha

Tourism Development Corporation Ltd) signed a MoU to

develop a sustainable tourist circuits & destinations in Odisha.

Pulse •Research Dynamics•2012

PE fund terms such as waterfall structure, carried interest, general partner commitment and management fees will change to address investor concerns such as governance, transparency, reporting and operating controls post the global financial crisis. Limited partners will scrutinise fund platforms a lot more carefully before investing on the heels of previous negative experiences with issues such as integrity of the general partner and quality and sustainability of earnings. Many more funds will adopt a conservative cash flow-driven investment approach and focus on investing in income producing office assets, with an accent on asset repositioning, refinancing and refurbishment.

We expect new guidelines for Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFCs) and Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) to assist in pushing funding for the housing sector in 2013. There will be more liquidity available in the housing finance market as rules for raising external commercial borrowings will be relaxed for HFCs and with SEBI allowing debt funds to invest an additional 10% in HFCs. HFCs will also look at tapping the qualified institutional placement (QIP) market to raise funds in 2013.

Monthly Real Estate Monitor – March 2013

Bangalore In February, Bangalore continued to observe modest leasing activity in the office sector. Stable demand from potential occupiers and absence of new completions marginally decreased the vacancy in

the city. Major transactions in the month included TATA Aerospace and Josiah Technologies both leasing space in Shailendra Tech Park at Whitefield, and Flipkart renting space in Esteem Asrani at Koramangala. Although the rents remained stable on the back of continued demand and controlled supply, the capital values increased marginally across all sub-markets.

Consumer demand for retail sector remained steady in the last couple of months, causing it to increase the retail demand in February. The occupancy level of the city rose marginally due to this. Rents, as well

as capital values remained stable across all the submarkets of Bangalore.

Bangalore's residential market exhibited continued steady demand in February. The city witnessed a moderate number of launches. The landmark projects launched during the month included

Prestige West Woods by Prestige Group on Magadi Road at Rajajinagar, Brook Woods by Pashmina Developers on Old Madras Road (OMR) and Indraprastha by Sobha Developers at Rajajinagar. The city continued to witness the shortage of ready to move in apartments. With a forecast to stabilise in 2013, capital values increased marginally across all submarkets in the city.

Monthly Real Estate Monitor – March 2013

Chennai

Chennai recorded moderate leasing activity in February with majority of the deals happening in its Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The major transactions over the month included Maveric

Systems leasing space in DLF IT SEZ at Mount Poonamallee Road; ADP taking space in an IT park in Guindy; and Mindtree, LatentView Analytics and Datacert renting space in Ramanujan IT SEZ at Taramani OMR. Occupancy levels continued to improve in the city on the absence of new completions. Rents and capital values remained stable during the month.

With the right mix of international, national and local brands, Phoenix Market City continued to sustain robust foot falls during February. With the existence of home-grown brands such as RMKV, Poppat

Jamals, Malabar Gold and Nathella attracting its loyal customers, the mall is experiencing synergetic effects, with international and domestic brands complementing each other. Neighbouring one of the dense residential locations with high Socio Economic Classes (SEC) A and B population, the retailers will expect to see good conversion rates in this mall. Going forward, Phoenix Market City is expected to see more such local brands expanding their operations in the upcoming malls.

Innovative offers from developers in Chennai continued to attract home buyers during February. FAIRPRO 2013 organised by the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Association of India

(CREDAI) received encouraging response with buyers booking around 250 units during the three-day property fair. Some of the prominent launches during the month were NRD Towers by Asvini Foundation near Poonamalle, Esta by Arihant at Mogappair and Panchsheel, as well as the maiden residential project by Kochar Homes at Ambattur. Rents and capital values remained stable during the month.

With no progress on the Chennai monorail plans, mini buses will provide a temporary transport solution to the city.

Monthly Real Estate Monitor – March 2013

Delhi Delhi continued to observe stable demand in February, with increase in new enquires. Tenants were cautious about their real estate expenses and preferred suburban locations on account of good

quality space and competitive rentals. The continued healthy occupier demand and absence of new completions further decreased the vacancy in the city. Some of the major transactions in the month included Tetra Pak India leasing space in Gurgaon, and Telenor and Marsh both renting space in the CBD. Rents and capital values remained stable across all submarkets, except the CBD where it increased marginally.

Over the month, the demand remained stable in Delhi. High streets and select quality malls continued to be the preferred choice of retailers. In addition, upcoming malls observed good pre-

commitments because of less vacancy in existing quality malls. Rents and capital values both remained stable in all submarkets. Some of the notable transactions in February included Reliance Mart leasing space in Ghaziabad, Geox taking space in West Delhi and Manyavar renting space in Faridabad. Rents remained stable in all the submarkets. However, capital values witnessed marginal increase in select precincts of the city.

The demand for residential units continued to remain stable over the month. Major launches during February included Florence Estate by Krrish Group in Gurgaon, Sunworld Vandita by Sunworld

Infrastructure in Noida and Willow 162 by Agarwal Associates in Ghaziabad. Rents and capital values remained stable across all submarkets in the city.

INFRASTRUCTURE ONGOING >> According to a recent directive by the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP), private developers will now have to inform flat owners or investors about any change in the layout plan of the projects in Gurgaon. The fresh directive is sure to bring transparency as the changes, especially those linked to green belt and open spaces, will not be possible unless the developers have secured concurrence of the flat owners and investors.

>> As the city copes with growing housing shortage, Delhi's planning body may allow houses that are built for the poor and middle class to go vertical by tripling the floor area ratio (FAR) from 200 to 600. The Union Urban Development Ministry (UUDM) has asked the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to increase the FAR and include the revised figure in the soon to be updated Delhi Master Plan 2021.

Mumbai In February, leasing activity was moderate for the office sector. Select pool of occupiers relocated from their existing offices or renewed the lease agreement on the back of uncertain macroeconomic

conditions. The CBD and Eastern Suburbs submarkets witnessed healthy leasing activity and stable vacancy rates.

The major transactions included Colgate-Palmolive (India) leasing space in Larsen & Toubro Business Park (L&T) at Powai and Sarasin-Alpen renting space in Indiabulls Finance Centre at Lower Parel. With moderate pre-commitments, Towers A and B of the Hiranandani Business Park, along with Lighthall and Hubtown Viva in SBD North submarket became operational in the month.

Monthly Real Estate Monitor – March 2013

Pune

Pune continued to witness healthy leasing activity during February. IT/ITeS firms accounted for most of the gross leasing volume in the city and dominated the transactions. The eastern part of the city became

active, with most of the major transactions taking place in the area. The prominent transactions during the month included AXA leasing space in Marvel Edge at Viman Nagar, TCS renting space in Commerzone at Yerwada and Allianz taking space in Eon Free Zone at Kharadi. No fresh supply of office space came on stream. Rents and capital values remained stable over the month.

Leasing activity in malls of Pune remained sluggish in February. Pune’s organised retail stock remained unchanged with no new completions recorded. However, Season's mall, located in Hadapsar, is

likely to hit the market in the next 3–5 months. Rents and capital values remained stable across all submarkets.

In February, demand for residential units continued to remain stable. Major launches in this month included Emirus, a high-end category project by Kundan Mehta Associates at Baner and Royal One,

an upper-mid category project by NSG Group at Pimple Nilakh. Capital values remained stable across all submarkets.
