In 1Q 2013, Mumbai, NCR, Bangalore, Chennai Kolkata and Pune recorded an overall absorption of more than 8 million sq ft. Bangalore saw the highest absorption, followed by the Mumbai and NCR markets however, Kolkata and NOIDA markets witnessed relatively weaker demand.

MACRO ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

GDP growth was recorded at 4.5% in 4Q •2012, the lowest in the last decade. The economic growth in the first nine months of fiscal year 2012-13 stood at 5%, much lower than 6.6% recorded during the same period last year.

Headline inflation, based on the wholesale •price index, stood at 5.96% for the month of March 2013 as compared to 7.96% for the corresponding month of previous year. The reduction in the inflation was primarily due to low food inflation.

The Reserve Bank of India reduced the CRR •(Cash Reserve Ratio) of scheduled banks by 25 basis points from 4.25 to 4%, effective from January 2013, to induce immediate liquidity in the market. The central bank also reduced the repo rate by 50 basis points in two tranches in January and March this quarter.

The Indian Rupee remained under pressure •and closed at 54.28 to the USD and 70.37 to the Euro as on 15 March 2013.

The commercial office market showed signs •of revival in almost all markets. The six major markets, i.e. Mumbai, NCR, Bangalore, Chennai Kolkata and Pune recorded an overall absorption of around 8 million sq ft in 1Q 2013. Bangalore saw the highest absorption, followed by the Mumbai and NCR markets. The Kolkata and NOIDA markets to witnessed relatively weaker demand. IT/ITeS and BFSI remained the key demand drivers this quarter in almost all major markets.

COLLIERS VIEW: The prevailing recovery in occupier demand is anticipated to continue in medium term. We anticipate stability in rental values across the major markets due to large inventory in pipeline despite recovery in demand.

MuMBAI

During the surveyed quarter, about 8.2 million •sq ft of Grade A commercial office space was available for fit-out. More than 65% of this available space was concentrated in Lower Parel, Andheri East and Thane.

No new major Grade A commercial office •supply was added to the city’s office inventory.

During the quarter, office space absorption •was recorded at around 2.17 million sq ft. A number of large-sized (40,000 – 100,000 sq ft) leases were signed. BFSI and IT/ITeS were the primary sectors contributing to this demand.

No major movement in capital values were •recorded across the submarkets, except in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and Lower Parel, where capital values increased in the range of 2 -5% QoQ.

Average rental values remained stable in •almost all micro–markets, except for a marginal decrease in the range of 1 -3% in areas like Nariman Point and Lower Parel.

In this quarter, construction work on the •Eastern Freeway project was completed. The 16 km long elevated road connects south Mumbai to Wadala and continues onwards to Ghatkopar in the eastern suburbs.

COLLIERS VIEW: In 1Q 2013, occupier demand is expected to remain healthy with micro-markets like Andheri, BKC and Lower Parel continuing to be the preferred destination for the occupiers. Overall rentals across the micro-markets are expected to remain unchanged, while rentals for premium office space may increase slightly due to limited availability.

DElhI

In 1Q 2013, more than 1.5 million sq ft of •Grade A office space was available for fit-out. The majority of this supply was located in the Jasola and Saket micro-markets.

During 1Q 2013, the completion of Red Fort •Capital Parsvnath Towers by Parsvnath Developers added approximately 0.5 million sq ft of Grade A new supply to the CBD.

Commercial projects launched in 1Q 2013 •include Prime Towers at Okhla by DLF Ltd measuring 0.7 million sq ft. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.

Steady occupier demand was noticed during •the quarter. A few mid-sized (15,000 to 50,000 sq ft) leases were concluded in micro-markets such as Netaji Subhash Place, Minto Road and Okhla Phase I. The city witnessed absorption of approximately 0.1 million sq ft during the quarter.

The investment market continued to remain •sluggish with no major sales transactions concluded this quarter.

Rental values in new buildings completed •recently in the CBD are commanding higher than the market rentals due to their state-of-the-art facilities and amenities. However, the overall rents and capital values for Grade A offices remained stable in all micro-markets.

COLLIERS VIEW : Not much supply is anticipated in Delhi except in Aerocity, an emerging location near the International Airport. Demand is expected to remain steady, the limited supply of Grade A office space will keep overall rents at the same levels.

GuRGAON

More than 17 million sq ft of Grade A office •space was available for fit-out during 1Q 2013. Most of the available supply was concentrated along Golf Course Road and its extension, Sohna Road, Udyog Vihar and NH-8,up to Manesar.

More than 1.5 million sq ft of Grade A office •space was added to the city’s total inventory.

In 1Q 2013, a number of commercial projects •were launched, including Elvedor by Imperia Structures in Sector 37D; Capital Cyberscape by Capital Builders at Sector 59; GPL Trade Towers by GPL Group and Business Club by AIPL Group, both of which are located on Golf Course Extension Road. All of these projects are expected to contribute around 1.5 million sq ft to the city’s Grade A office space by the end of 2015.

The office take-up rate in this quarter was •around 1 million sq ft. Demand from both new tenants and existing tenants seeking to expand increased, especially in the IT/ITeS sector.

Rental values posted moderate growth in •the range of 1 to 2% QoQ in micro-markets such as NH-8, Udhyog Vihar and M.G. Road; however other micro-markets remained stable on account of huge supply availability.

COLLIERS VIEW : The office market shall witness increased vacancy due to the massive new supply in the pipeline expected to be completed in the next 12 months. The office rental value growth will be capped due to existing vacancy and the forthcoming new supply. Moreover, due to the cost-cautious approach taken by most occupiers, micro-markets with affordable rents will remain the preferred location.

NOIDA

In 1Q 2013, around 8.8 million sq ft of Grade •A and Grade B office space was available for fit-out. About 90% of this available space was IT/ITeS office space located primarily in Sectors 16A and 62, and Sectors 125 to 143 along the NOIDA Expressway.

More than 1 million sq ft of Grade A office •space was added to the city’s total inventory.

Two new commercial projects were launched •in 1Q 2013: Mist Avenue by Bhasin Group at Sector 143; and Cosmic Corporate Park II by Cosmic Group at Sector 140. These two projects together will contribute about 1.4 million sq ft of Grade A office space by the end of 2015.

Occupier demand from the traditional demand •drivers IT/ITeS in the city remained muted and very few large floor-plate deals were executed during the quarter. Total absorption of around 0.5 million sq ft was recorded in the surveyed quarter.

Following last quarter’s trend, the rental •values further declined by 2% in most of the Commercial and Industrial sectors, while rental values in the Institutional sectors remained stable.

COLLIERS VIEW : Demand decreased marginally for the third consecutive quarter in NOIDA. Further a large commercial supply is expected to hit the market by the end of 2013 and in early 2014, we anticipate that the rental values will remain stable in the near future. This is primarily because the rental values have already reached levels at which there is not much scope for further reduction.

ChENNAI

Approximately, 13.5 million sq ft of Grade •A office space was available for fit-out this quarter. More than half of this supply was located along the OMR IT corridor.

The city has not witnessed any major •completions this quarter. Developers have adopted a cautious approach due to high vacancy levels, and have slowed the pace of their construction works

•Demand in special economic zones (SEZs)

remained upbeat and a number of medium to large floor plate size deals (40,000 – 200,000 sq ft) were concluded this quarter. The total office space absorption was recorded at around 1 million sq ft. More than 60% of the total absorption has taken place in SEZs. BFSI and IT/ITeS were the primary sectors contributing to this demand.

•Nomajormovementofcapitalandrentalvalueswere recorded, across all micro-markets.

In 1Q 2013, the Chennai Corporation Council •approved the proposed property tax for buildings that accommodate IT companies. This will increase tax rates in the range of 50-200%.

COLLIERS VIEW: In 1Q 2013, the city witnessed moderate leasing activities, with demand mostly driven by IT/ITeS occupants in SEZs. We anticipate the same level of absorption momentum in the coming quarters. With controlled supply in the near future, rental values are expected to remain at current levels in preferred micro-markets such as the CBD, OMR and Guindy. However, there will be downward pressure in locations on the fringes of the city due to lower demand for such locations.

BENGAluRu (BANGAlORE)

About 11.2 million sq ft of Grade A office space •was available for fit-out. Most of this available supply was concentrated in areas such as the EPIP Zone, Whitefield, Outer Ring Road (ORR) and Electronic City.

During 1Q 2013, construction activities in •Bangalore remained active, resulting in numerous completions. More than 1.5 million sq ft of Grade A office space was added to the city’s total inventory.

Following last quarter’s trend, most of the •demand was generated by small and medium enterprises in the IT/ITeS sector, in micro-markets such as Whitefield, Electronic City and ORR. More than 2.6 million sq ft of Grade A office space was absorbed during this quarter.

Despite healthy occupier demand, rental values •remained stable across all the micro-markets. This is primarily due to the supply/demand equilibrium in the city’s office market.

COLLIERS VIEW : In 1Q 2013, we witnessed improved absorption from the IT/ITeS sector, the traditional driver of office demand in the city. We anticipate that in the short to medium term, rental values will remain stable on account of supply/demand equilibrium. There will be limited additional supply in the near to medium term, as developers are refraining from speculative development due to the uncertainty in the future performance of the IT/ITeS sector, and competitive developments in from other locations such as Pune and Hyderabad.

KOlKATA

About 0.5 million sq ft of new Grade A office •supply was added to the city’s office inventory. Most of this new supply was located in the PBD micro-market such as Sector – 5 and Sonarpur.

During the quarter a few mid sized projects •such as “Arihant Square” by Arihant Group (at Park Street), and “Primarc Tower” by Primarc Group (at Sector 5 in Saltlake) were launched.

Occupier demand remained bleak during •the surveyed quarter and a limited number of small-sized leases were concluded, predominately in micro-markets like Park Street, Rajarhat and Saltlake. The city witnessed total absorption to the tune of approximately 0.15 million sq ft.

Due to poor uptake of commercial stock, rental •values declined in the range of 5 - 7% QoQ in micro-markets like Ballygunge Circular Road and Sector-5, however other micro-markets remained stable.

Capital values remained stable during the •quarter with the exception of New Town – Rajarhat, which recorded a decline of 6% in capital values QoQ.

COLLIERS VIEW: Rental values declined in few micro-markets in 1Q 2013; other micro markets are also facing considerable downward pressure due to low occupier demand. We anticipate that demand will continue to remain low in the near term and rental may further decline in the range of 2 - 5% QoQ.

During 1Q 2013, more than 5.8 million sq ft •of Grade A office space was available for fit-out in the city. Most of this supply was concentrated in the Hinjewadi, Airport Road, Kharadi and Nagar Road micro-markets.

Approximately 0.8 million sq ft of Grade •A office space was added to the city’s total inventory during this quarter.

Occupier demand showed a marginal •reduction in 1Q 2013. The city witnessed more than 1 million sq ft absorption in Grade A office space. The most active micro-markets during the quarter were Hinjewadi, Hadapsar, Viman Nagar and Yerwada.

Overall, average rentals in almost all the micro •markets remained stable in 1Q 2013. A few new completions in micro market such as Baner, Bavadhan, Aundh and Nagar Road was leased above 10 to 15% above market rentals due to their state of an facilities and amenities. This resulted in increase of 5 to 10% in overall average rental values in these micro markets.

The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation •(PCMC) has planned to construct dedicated Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) lanes on the Pune-Mumbai Highway and Aundh-Ravet Road, at an estimated cost of INR 12 Crore. This will improve connectivity between the Mumbai & Pune.

COLLIERS VIEW: Pune witnessed significant demand from the IT/ITeS sector this quarter when compared to same period last year. The demand momentum is likely to remain the same in the upcoming quarters. We anticipate a marginal appreciation in rental values in micro-markets like Hinjewadi, Hadapsar, Viman Nagar, Yerwada and Kharadi.

Colliers’ 2012 Global Retail Streets survey found that of 129 locations tracked, 51 posted higher year over year average rental rates, 49 were flat, and 24 were down (5 lacked comparable data).

Retailers entering new markets—both developed and developing—continue to hedge risk by targeting the same one or two premier locations, generating heated competition and outsized rental rate growth in a handful of space-constrained corridors.

Companies with the most ambitious long-term expansion plans remain focused on emerging markets with rapidly growing middle-class populations, but recently institutional capital has pulled back somewhat to favor core markets and investments.

While economic and political turmoil did affect rental rates in headline-generating markets (such as Cairo and Athens), high streets with strong fundamentals remained remarkably resilient, suggest-ing, at least for now, some separation between macroeconomic issues and underlying real estate fundamentals.

Since we conducted our survey, however, weakening consumer sentiment among affluent shoppers has already begun to impact retailers’ revenues and could hinder landlords’ near-term ability to raise rents, suggesting flattening growth rates for the coming year.

This spring proved to be a tricky time to conduct global benchmarking, as market sentiment has deteriorated markedly since April. During the past year, virtually every entity making a forecast—including Colliers in our 2012 U.S. Retail Outlook —included a caveat related to not-yet-quantifiable global fallout from Europe’s fiscal issues. As the past few months have illustrated, the time to face Eurozone issues has finally arrived, spawning a new wave of financial uncertainty.

More than two years post-recession, though, results from our annual survey of High Street rents illustrate that the world’s priciest retail corridors continue to attract the most sought-after tenants at lofty rental rates. Eight of Colliers’ top ten Global Retail Streets in 2011 made the list again this year. The big story, however, lies with the explosive year over year rental growth achieved in a handful of markets. Six of our Top 10 grew at double-digit levels year over year in local currency units, five of them by more than 20%.

At a regional level, streets in areas that entered 2007-08 better-positioned economically—Australia, Canada, parts of Eastern Europe—had a higher percentage of this year's flat-to-higher rents than those slower to emerge from the recession. We will be watching these areas closely. Even as they represent some of the most attractive destinations for expansion-minded companies and yield-seeking investors, they too are vulnerable to softening consumer demand and, for those with reliable data, encroachment of e-commerce.

This report contains two parts. The first summarizes the results of our annual Global Retail Streets survey, conducted in April 2012. The second incorporates content from Colliers’ brokerage and research teams worldwide who contributed market operational metrics, nuanced commentary on retail conditions, and forward-looking opinions on what the next year will hold for consumers, landlords, and investors.
