Lease Expiry/Break Profile
EuropeThe European Commission’s autumn ●
economic forecast suggests that European GDP will remain at a virtual standstill in 2009, before gradually improving in 2010.
According to Markit’s Purchasing Managers ●
Index, business activity within the 15 country Eurozone fell to a 10 year low in November. In Germany, the index slumped to its lowest level since 1993.
Eurozone inflation fell to 3.2% in October, ●
having reached a peak of 4% in the middle of 2008 and is set to fall further into 2009 as energy prices ease and weakening economic performance is reflected in consumer confidence and spending.
Germany
The German market has until recently ●
managed to weather the level of turmoil seen in the likes of Spain, the UK and the US. The government’s intervention in September to rescue Hypo Real Estate and to freeze redemptions of open ended funds reflects a movement in market sentiment.
While there has been a shift in the investment ●
market, the occupational markets have remained stable. Office vacancy levels generally fell in Q3, while demand for retail space continued at the same level.
FranceThe Parisian office market is on course to ●
record one of the highest levels of take-up in its history. An excess of 1.8 million sq m has been let by the end of Q3, with the year end total set to stand somewhere between 2.2 and 2.4 million sq m.
BelgiumOccupier demand in the Brussels office market ●
has remained relatively constant over the course of the year to date. Rental values are holding firm, as has the overall vacancy rate, while the amount of space under construction has started to fall.
The economic climate has been reflected ●
in a cooling of demand for logistics property. However, rental and supply levels remain stable.
PolandRents on prime Warsaw CBD offices have ●
escalated in light of the ongoing lack of supply in the market.
NetherlandsThe economy has performed relatively well ●
over the course of 2008. However, the heavy exposure of the economy to international trade flows will hamper demand as the rate of consumption slows in neighbouring countries.
The All Property total return measured by ●
ROZ/IPD for Q3 2008 was 1.4%, compared to 2.1% in Q2.
SwedenThe negative sentiment in the investment ●
market is in contrast to the continued robust performance of the occupier market. Q3 saw strong levels of take-up in the office sector and headline rental levels were maintained. However, demand in the medium-term is likely to be tempered by the weaker economic performance.
