ASIA PACIFIC OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW | OCTOBER | 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
REGIONAL OVERVIEW A Return of Market Confidence
Amid the gradual improvement of global economic fundamentals, the office market in the region also showed further encouraging signs of recovery during 3Q2009. Although the overall occupational demand is yet to recover to the pre-financial crisis levels seen in the first half of 2008, there were positive notes showing market stabilisation and a significant improvement in market confidence in 3Q2009. One of the major reasons for the strengthening of market confidence during the period was the very strong performance of the sales side of the market in terms of the volume of activity and the general price level achieved. In the Greater China region, the volume of investment sales transactions was extremely active thanks to the positive sentiment among a number of state-owned enterprises. In Beijing, three en bloc sales transactions were registered in 3Q2009, all of which were acquired for owner-occupancy. In Guangzhou, the major deals were the sale of the R&F Yingyue International Building and the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank for RMB300 million and RMB400 million, respectively. In Shanghai, domestic investors and end-users, including SOHO China and the Agricultural Bank of China, remained active in acquiring quality developments in prime districts during 3Q2009.
Edging Close to the Cyclical Trough
For most of the centres in the region, there were more signs that office rentals are edging closer toward their cyclical trough during 3Q2009. Individual centres in the Greater China region, such as Chengdu, saw mild positive rental growth during the period. Across the region, the pace of rental decline actually tapered off further from 3.6% quarter on quarter (QoQ) in 2Q2009 to 2.0% QoQ in 3Q2009. With rentals stabilising, there was a general increase in the level of new space enquiries during 3Q2009. Although lease renewals continued to be the most-favoured option for most tenants, a number of occupiers reactivated their real estate plans in 3Q2009 and started looking to relocate to larger and better quality premises in view of cheaper rental offers in the marketplace and, more importantly, a better economic outlook for 2010. For example, AIG in Singapore took advantage of the weak rental environment to relocate its operations from two adjacent buildings on Martin Road on the fringe of the CBD to five floors at 78 Shenton South Tower – a newly completed office building in the CBD.
Market Outlook
Looking ahead, the pace of recovery of the occupational side of the office market in the region will be gradual in view of the recovery path of some of the major economies, such as the US. Further to the current round of cost-driven relocation and consolidation, the market will pick up additional momentum if tenants are encouraged by the prospective growth of their top line revenues. On the sales front, given the projection of a sustained low interest rate environment over the near to medium term, the level of investment demand will remain strong among a large group of private investors, including a range of small to medium-size companies that want to secure office space for their long-term business requirements.

Perth • Perth experienced a significant increase in vacancy levels from 1.3% in January 2009 to 8% in July 2009 due to softening demand amid an increase in supply. Office rentals came under downward pressure as the level of incentives increased to 10%-20% during 3Q2009. • On a positive note, a number of sub-lease spaces were taken back from the market due to the improved business performance and expectations of a future increase in floor area requirements.
• The volume of investment transactions was subdued in the first half of 2009 as local institutional players continued to stay on the sidelines. Buying activity continued to be dominated by overseas players and cash-rich private investors.
