New delivery volume dynamics for Class A and B offices
key indicators. Dynamics*
ʺFollowing shocks and uncertainties office market has experienced over the past year, more clear rules of interaction between landlords and tenants have been formed. The market has reached the balance in its lower point, as evidenced by the volume of already closed and pending transactions.
Today little doubt remains that the market is unlikely to return to the same conditions in terms of foreign currency applicability. Despite the Russian ruble strengthening and stabilization, the risk of currency fluctuations is still present, in this connection ruble lease rates have become a major prerequisite for both Russian and foreign companies operating in the Russian marketʺ.

supplyThe total stock of Class A and B offices in moscow has totaled 15.6 million sq m corresponding 24% to Class A and 76% – to Class B office buildings.
63,1 thousand sq m of quality office space were delivered in Q1 2016 – 30% less year-on-year – a record low level in the history of Moscow office real estate market. While not a single Class A office building was delivered for the first three months of 2016.
Class A vacancy rate continued to decline to 22.5% due to falling volumes of new construction and completion of large transactions, which began in the middle of last year.
Class B vacancy rate also maintains last year's trend of fluctuations in the range of 2 p. p and reached the level of 17.6%.

DemandNet take-up volume of Q1 2016 amounted to 183,5 thousand sq m, five times higher than in the previous year. such sharp increase was due to the closure of two major transactions of about 142 thousand sq m.
According to the results of the first quarter the share of lease renegotiation transactions in the total transactions volume remained significantly high and amounted to 64%. In some cases, despite former renegotiations in 2014–2015, tenants got back to the negotiation process to fix new conditions for a longer period.
Today state-owned companies boost the market with the share of lease and purchase transactions increased from 5% in 2014 to 36% in 2015. In Q1 2016 their influence was also significant: due to several large transactions the figure reached 73% (149.8 thousand sq m). Their high activity was triggered due to the costs reduction, as well as recent initiative of the government to prohibit state-owned companies from constructing buildings for their offices.
Q1 2016 tenant mix structure was defined by two major transactions started in 2015 and completed only at the beginning of this year. Owing to the acquisition of Eurasia Tower by VTB Group and purchase of 55 thousand sq m of office space in OkO Multifunctional Complex by Moscow City Government, the share of financial sec-tor companies accounted for 43%, and the share of companies representing the government – 27%. These events affected the territorial structure of demand: 71% of leased and purchased office space were signed in facilities located in MIBC Moscow-City, while only 6% of the total volume fell on the share of the Central Business District.

Commercial termsToday the commercial terms are still a key pillar in determining the tenant sentiment. After falling to historically low level at the end of 2015 Class A rents remain almost unchanged from January to March 2016 at 467 $/sq m/year and 24,726 rub./sq m/year. At the same time, Class B offices witnessed the reduction by 3% – to 276 $/sq m/year and 14,613 rub./sq m/year.
Though over 78% of the vacant Class A supply is nominated in Russian rubles, the landlords of individual properties – especially with a premium location – still retain foreign pricing and are not willing to fix the exchange rate or define the exchange rate band for a long-term lease.
Companies are still interested in long-term agreements to fix the current lease terms, while the landlords waiting for the market recovery prefer 3–5-year lease agreements.
The most important point to negotiate in 2016 is rental rate indexation. the indexation of ruble rental rates – usually equated to the CpI of the russian federation (after reaching double-digit inflation by the end of 2015) – is now a subject for discussion. the restriction of the upper level can be applied as an alternative together with equating of indexation to other macroeconomic indicators or a fixed increase level of lease payments.

forecastAccording to the baseline scenario of the updated forecast of the ministry of economic Development the signs of recovery from the recession of the russian economy are expected not earlier than in 2017. At the same time, the sanctions restrictions against Russia may be retained in 2016, still restricting the development plans of both Russian and foreign companies.
Due to decrease in development activity new delivery volume will not exceed 400 thousand sq m in 2016 and 300 thousand sq m in 2017 leading to a further reduction in vacancy rates in case of current take-up volumes. Thus, taking into account the potential demand recovery and the reduction of available office space volume, we can expect a rental rates increase in 2017.
We expect that lease extensions as well as the move to new offices due to lease expiration will prevail in the structure of total transactions in 2016. Lease renegotiations will gain still a significant market share in h1 2016.
The highly competitive office market will continue to adapt to changing internal and external conditions in the coming year. In particular, we expect a further strengthening of the market operating in the russian national currency. Despite some stabilization of the ruble against foreign currencies, the risk of currency fluctuations is considered as a key risk for companies in the search for a new office.
