Monthly Real Estate Monitor - October 2013 Proposed New Banks in India – Opportunity for Multisector Real Estate Growth When the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently announced that it would issue new banking licenses, 26 companies applied. The list included not only the famous names of corporates in India such as Tata and Birla, but also the public sector entities such as the India Post, nonbanking financial companies and specialised infrastructure finance and microfinance organisations. Based on the cues given at the beginning of September 2013 by the newly appointed RBI Governor, Dr Raghuram Rajan, the RBI will target to complete this process of issuing licenses around January 2014. The real estate sector will be an immediate beneficiary because of the new banks’ requirement for office space and retailing branches, with many of the facilities needed in a short time span. Most retail branches of banks in India operate with a space of around 3,000 sq ft. We expect that the new banks might open around 25 branches each by end-2014, with a foray targeted toward Tier I cities and supported by subsequent expansion in Tier II and Tier III cities. Therefore, even if only five of the applicants get licenses by January 2014, there will be a requirement for half a million sq ft of retail banking spaces. These spaces will be mostly on the high streets of the cities, boosting the demand for retail real estate. In addition, registered offices, corporate offices and regional headquarters could mean another 0.51 million sq ft of office space per bank, and the back office locations would require another half a million sq ft. As a result, 4.5–5 million sq ft is likely to be taken up in the short term. Moreover, the banks are likely to open up more retail and office transaction opportunities in the long term, as observed in the case of the not-so-old private banks such as Yes Bank, which has increased its operation to more than 430 branches by 1H13 from a meagre 30 branches in 2006. Meanwhile, Tier II and Tier III cities, especially those in states offering better taxation benefits, will come into focus for corporate office locations. Grade B office space could be in demand, at least during the beginning, on the back of its wider availability and lower cost. Hence, the overall transaction scene, while experiencing an increase in the gross leasing volume, may not bring down the vacancy rate in the Grade A office space by much. There will certainly be more built-to-suit office RFPs over the next 12 months, and in the long run, these banks are expected to shift to Grade A office space, benefitting the investor grade speculative office market of India. Interestingly, in the event that some of the organisations seeking banking licences have long-owned captive space, this should not keep them from searching for office space with better location advantage and business potential.

Proposed New Banks in India – Opportunity for Multisector Real Estate GrowthWhen the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently announced that it would issue new banking licenses, 26 companies applied. The list included not only the famous names of corporates in India such as Tata and Birla, but also the public sector entities such as the IndiaPost, nonbanking financial companies and specialised infrastructure finance and microfinance organisations. Based on the cues given at the beginning of September 2013 by the newly appointed RBI Governor, Dr Raghuram Rajan, the RBI will target to complete this process of issuing licenses around January 2014. The real estate sector will be an immediate beneficiary because of the new banks’ requirement for office space and retailing branches, with many of the facilities needed in a short time span.

Most retail branches of banks in India operate with a space of around 3,000 sq ft. We expect that the new banks might open around 25 branches each by end-2014, with a foray targeted toward Tier I cities and supported by subsequent expansion in Tier II and Tier III cities. Therefore, even if only five of the applicants get licenses by January 2014, there will be a requirement for half a million sq ft of retail banking spaces. These spaces will be mostly onthe high streets of the cities, boosting the demand for retail real estate. In addition, registered offices, corporate offices and regional headquarters could mean another 0.5–1 million sq ft of office space per bank, and the back office locations would require another half a million sq ft. As a result, 4.5–5 million sq ft is likely to be taken up in the short term. Moreover, the banks are likely to open up more retail and office transaction opportunities in the long term, as observed in the case of the not-so-old private banks such as Yes Bank, which has increased its operation to more than 430 branches by 1H13 from a meagre 30 branches in 2006.

INFRASTRUCTURE ONGOING>> The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is looking to raise INR 1 billion through private placement of bonds. It is planning to tap financial institutions, but would not like to do it now as the interest rates are high, said new Managing Director Pradeep Singh Kharola.

DelhiAfter the slow activity observed in the last few months, the demand for office spaces started to increase in September, primarily driven by relocation and consolidation as the corporates’ means for cost

control measures. The vacancy in the city increased during the month on the back of a large number of new completions, including JMD Corporate Suites, Realtech IT Tower, Logix Technova Tower A, Advant Navis Business Park Tower 2, Carnoustie 19A and Unitech Infospace Phase II Tower 9. Other than Unitech Infospace,all these new projects commenced with low occupancy. The major transactions during the month included CB&I leasing space in NH 8Cybercity–Gurgaon, Aon Hewitt and Michelin both renting space in Sohna Road–Gurgaon and BHEL taking space in Noida Expressway. Rents and capital values both continued to remainstable across all the submarkets of Delhi.

The demand continued to remain slow in September because of constraints in the availability of good space. Meanwhile, brands are now more cautious to relocate to good location, resulting in nonperforming

malls operation with high vacancy. In addition, retailers are active in pre-committing to space in the upcoming malls that offer the promise of good location and design, along with branding and business potential. Some of the major transactions in Septemberincluded Fitness First and Forever New both leasing space in the Gurgaon suburbs; Reliance Footprint, Reliance Sports and Go Mart all renting space in Prime Others; and Superdry and Chili’s takingspace in the Prime South. Rents witnessed marginal increase in select projects in the Prime South during September. Meanwhile, capital values observed marginal increase in a range-boundmanner.

Residential sales continued to be slow during the month; hence, developers were seen resorting to innovative schemes and freebies to offload the high inventory. Notable launches during September

included The Corridors by Ireo in Golf Course Extension Road, Novena Green by DSD Homes in Greater Noida (west) and Bluenoon by LR Infrahomes in Raj Nagar Extension. In addition, SVP Group launched Gulmohar Vatika and SAVFAB Group

launched Jasmine Grove, both on NH 24. During the month, rents decreased slightly in the high condominiums within the given range.

KolkataThe Kolkata office market continued to remain subdued during the month of September. The overall vacancy in the city decreased marginally with the absence of new completions. The major

transaction in the month was BT Group leasing space in Rajarhat.The large vacancy in the city’s office stocks continued to create pressure on the rents in the peripheral submarkets, resulting in the correction of rents in Salt Lake. However, capital values remained flat over the month.

Retail activity in the malls of the city improved with an increasing number of transactions. It is noteworthy to mention that Quest Mall on Syed Amir Ali Avenue near Park Circus was soft-launched on

30 September, and would likely commence operation in the coming months with a foray of luxury retailers. The major transactionsduring the month included Adrija Jewellers leasing space in Avani Riverside Mall; Brand Factory taking up space in Hometown Mall;and Meena Bazaar, Jashn Sarees, AND and Vero Moda pre-committing space in the upcoming Quest Mall. Rents increased in select precincts on the back of increased retailer activity.Meanwhile, capital values remained unaltered across all the submarkets in the city, but had a marginal increase in select precincts.

The residential demand in the city lowered during September in the high-end and upper mid-end units.Developers were seen offering discounts and cashback schemes over the quoted price to do away

with unsold inventories of all classes. The notable launches during the month included Siddha Waterfront Phase I by Siddha Group in Khardah and Eternia by a JV of Unimark Realty and Concast Group in EM Bypass. Meanwhile, rents and capital values remained flat across the city.

MumbaiThe office demand continued to be moderate in the month of September. Nevertheless, it remained polarised to the western suburbs where healthy transactions were recorded. Meanwhile, the major

deal closures were from the BFSI tenants who wanted to set up their back office functions. Vacancy rates were stable across the submarkets, except for a minimal decrease in the western suburbs and a minor appreciation in the eastern suburbs. It is important to mention that the projects that became operational in the monthwitnessed lukewarm pre-commitments. The major transactions in September included Bharatiya Mahila Bank leasing space in the CBD and CMA CGM taking up space in the western suburbs. Damji Shamji Business Galleria in the eastern suburbs was the lone completion during the month. Meanwhile, rents and capital values both remained stable across the city.

Retail demand on the high streets of Mumbaicontinued to grow. However, occupiers were seen considering the quality options in malls and standalone mixed-use projects. Select categories

such as fashion and accessories were seen expanding in select pockets of the city. Vacancy in malls remained stable during the month of September. Major transactions in the month included Bombay Dyeing renting space in R City Mall at in the eastern suburbs and Jashn taking up space on the high streets at Colaba.Rents and capital values both remained unaltered across all the submarkets during the month.

In the month of September, the residential market in Mumbai continued to see sluggish demand on the back of gloomy market conditions along with budgetary constaints from home buyers. Also,

uncertainty in the job market and the rising inflation were the reasons for the slowdown in the residential sales. In response to the poor demand from home buyers, the developers started cashing on to the festive season by offering freebies or limited period discounts on each booking of an apartment. The month witnessed new launches such as Omkar Ananta at Goregaon, Legranz at Chembur

and Wadhwa Solitaire in Thane. Rents continued to remain stable,except in select precincts such as Andheri, Wadala and Chembur,where rents inched up marginally. Meanwhile, capital values remained unmoved in September on the back of slowing demand because of the gloomy market conditions.

PuneThe transaction activity in the Pune office market continued to remain moderate during September.However, the continued demand and restricted ready supply collaboratively decreased the vacancy

levels. The major transactions during September included Capstone leasing space in Yerwada, Flextronics renting space on Nagar Road and AXA taking up space in SP Infocity, Fursungi. Meanwhile, Kapila Matrix became operational during the month. Rents and capital values continued to remain unaltered across all the submarkets during the month.

The malls in Pune witnessed continued slow activity during September. Seasons Mall, which opened last month in Hadapsar, now houses prominent brands such as Shoppers Stop, Westside, Croma, Max and

Star Bazaar. Pune's retail stock remained stable with no completion in the current month. However, Prime Mall, which is located in Pimpri, is ready for fit-outs and would likely become operational in the coming two to three months.

Pune continued to witness stable demand for residential sales. Major launches during the month included Panchshil’s Panchshil Towers in Kharadi Annexe, VTP Group’s Urban Sole in Wagholi and

Gera Developers’ Gera Isle in Kharadi. Rents and capital values both remained stable in the city during September.
