• Rent growth plateaued in 2013, as more occupiers moved to markets like Langfang and Tianjin due to high rent in Beijing

• Supply in 2014 is expected to increase 45% y-o-y, which should alleviate the tight supply situation but will cap rental growth in the near term • Solid demand from e-commerce, retailers and 3PLs in Q1 2014 resulted in a 2% q-o-q increase in rents. • 2014 Rent Outlook: 3-5% 36

SHANGHAI • Developers have increasingly been looking out of town for sites in districts such as Songjiang and Fengxian, as well as in satellite cities such as Kunshan, Taicang and Jiaxing, which have become more viable for development because of better availability of land supply and improved infrastructure. • These locations also serve as a strategic supply point for major industrial zones and other key markets in neighboring cities such as Suzhou and Nanjing.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK FOR STANDARD WAREHOUSING DEVELOPMENT E-commerce is penetrating outside of tier-1 cities E-commerce development in China at the county level in 2013

Source: Alibaba Research Centre, Q4 2013 NoteChina E-commerce Development Index Report – county level published by Ali Research Centre in 2013. Group ranking was obtained as per the Alibaba E-commerce Development Index which is comprised of two equally weighted primary indices, namely, the Netrepreneur Index and the Purchasing Index. The Netrepreneur Index includes two secondary indices on online density and online trading per shop, each with a weight of 0.5. The Purchasing Index includes two secondary indices on online consumer density and online consumption per capita, each with a weight of 0.5.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK FOR STANDARD WAREHOUSING DEVELOPMENT Summary

1

Logistics developers will be more likely to sign master agreements with key tenants to provide logistics facilities across the country;

2

The expansion of logistics developers’ footprint will be closely aligned with the development and penetration of e-tailing in China;

3

The growing difficulty in acquiring land in strategic locations will likely result in international logistics developers establishing strategic alliances with large domestic developers and/or 3PL firms which have better access to industrial land;

4

As the China logistics market continues to mature, the Built-to-Suit format will be increasingly adopted along with the traditional development of standardized warehouses.

REDEVELOPMENT OF OLD INDUSTRIAL STOCK


OVERCAPACITY IN CHINA’S MANUFACTURING SECTOR Years of excess investment in industries such as steel, cement and general manufacturing have left China with severe overcapacity issues This has made worse by recent increases in input costs, an appreciating exchange rate and lending curbs

Also, local authorities are putting manufacturers under pressure to develop high-value added products, which may result in excess factory space As such, there may be opportunities in re-developing old industrial bases into modern logistics/warehouse facilities

CASE STUDY 1: GOODMAN SUZHOU LOGISTICS CENTRE In 2012, Goodman purchased factory space with a land attachment in West Suzhou Following redevelopment and retrofitting, the space was completed in early 2014

Offers five warehouses with a combined GFA of 95,000 sqm In Q1 2014, Goodman leased 54,880 sqm to Cainiao, with the new space to become an East China Regional Distribution Center for Tmall.com – China’s leading B2C e-commerce site

CASE STUDY 2: GLP BAOSHAN, SHANGHAI GLP acquired a former paper factory in 2012 in Baoshan, a traditional industrial area in North Shanghai In total, the site comprises two parcels with a total area of 229,610 sqm GLP is currently demolishing the existing buildings on the site and will develop two warehouses for release in mid-2015

CO-OPERATION WITH SOES


COOPERATION WITH SOES Land supply varies across the country, with our data showing relatively more land parcels for warehouse/logistics development in lower-tier cities

However, accessing land markets and cutting through opaque regulations and land allocation practices remains a challenge Relationship networks and bias toward domestic players often clouds or frustrates the process of acquiring land resources The process of acquiring land has become even more challenging as rapid urbanization and structural economic change have ramped up competition for land resources One way of approaching this problem is to seek strategic partnerships with SOEs in China

CASE STUDY: GLP AND SINOTRANS

In February, GLP signed a strategic partnership with Sinotrans, China’s largeststate-owned third-party logistics company GLP will cooperate with Sinotrans to develop a national network of logistics facilities Initially, the two companies will cooperate and develop new facilities in Shanghai and Guangdong The deal is significant for GLP because it offers them a partnership with a company which has access to strategic land holdings As the 3PL sector undergoes expansion, Sinotrans is looking to build out its network of logistics facilities across China 58

SUMMARY


Macro •

GDP: China’s economy is slowing but 6.9% average y-o-y growth between 2014-2020 still represents an additional US$601 billion per year

Consumer: private consumption will emerge as a main economic driver, growing by an average of US$ 250 billion per year between 2014 and 2020

Structural Change: inland provinces will contribute a greater share of output, as companies relocate to exploit cost advantages and rapidly growing consumer markets

Infrastructure: build-out will support economic rebalancing to inland regions and result in the emergence of new trade hubs

China’s Logistics Markets •

Rents and yields: industrial rent growth has outperformed other asset classes during 2013 and yields look comparatively attractive

Land prices: prices for industrial land have increased, particularly in first-tier cities

Land supply: tight in first-tier cities, but comparatively looser in lower-tier cities and ‘satellite’ cities around key first-tier cities

Development pipelines: general increase in 2014, major developers are targeting lower-tier cities, ‘satellite city’ locations and inland regions

60

CBRE CHINA RESEARCH


Demand Drivers •

E-commerce: penetration is relatively low in inland provinces

Infrastructure build-out : new trade hubs are emerging in underdeveloped regions

E-commerce/3PL occupiers: are building their networks to capture rapid revenue growth

Key Markets •

Beijing: New supply, vacancy upticks expected in 2014. Y-o-y rent increases of 3-5% forecast for 2014

Shanghai: Burgeoning demand will drive rent growth of 8-10% in 2014

Guangzhou: Historically undersupplied. New supplies of 125,000 sqm expected in 2014. Rents expected to grow 6-8% y-o-y (2013: 3% y-o-y) on robust demand

Chengdu: Rental growth of 4-6% y-o-y following supply uptick in 2014

61

CBRE CHINA RESEARCH


Risks •

Oversupply?: logistics warehouse development is attracting a lot of investment capital, major domestic players (such as Vanke) are entering the market. Development pipelines have grown markedly and developers have expanded their land banks

Rising operation costs: China’s cost of labor advantage is eroding

Opaque land allocation practices: land markets are controlled by local authorities who may favor domestic players; however, supply prospects in lower-tier and new ‘satellite’ cities may be better, given the need to buildout infrastructure to support the government’s new consumer-led economic growth model

Opportunities •

Macro: The potential for China’s consumer market is huge

Emerging trade hubs: such as Chengdu and Wuhan will emerge as key distribution points to support inland regions

New trade routes: overland transport links are being developed to connect China with South East Asia, Central Asia and Europe

Redevelopment of old industrial stock: China has excess industrial capacity

Cooperation with domestic players/SOEs: may sidestep land supply constraints
