Highlights
In seasonally adjusted terms, national retail turnover growth was up 2.9 percent in the 12 months to November 2013. The rate of growth has fallen slightly from 3.2 percent in the year to November 2012.
The retail sector faces both cyclical and structural issues. Some cyclical issues are starting to move in its favour.
The level of retail construction is showing signs of recovery as capital conditions (both debt and equity) begin to thaw.
Savills recorded $6.1 billion of retail property transactions nationally in the year to December 2013, up from $4 billion in the previous year.
Institutions were the most active in the investment market for the year ended June 2013 purchasing 61 percent of all retail property sold.

2013 HighlightsIn times of economic uncertainty retail property is largely regarded as a defensive investment due to the large percentage of non-discretionary spending supporting income streams, such as food.
Over the past 25 years, shopping centres have been increasingly acquired by institutional owners who could actively manage, develop and maintain these centres. The global financial crisis severely curtailed the purchasing power of institutions and allowed other buyers to enter the market.
The retail sector faces both cyclical and structural issues. Some cyclical issues are starting to move in its favour. Consumer confidence is improving, certainly not deteriorating and the cyclical falls in interest rates are certainly helping. Employment is growing strongly in four or five sectors and shrinking in four or five sectors and the jobs gained and lost are not necessarily in the same physical place. This means certain catchment areas are doing it tough and some are doing well.
The size and shape of the workforce has a profound impact on retail property because wages determine spending and jobs define catchment areas. Australia is almost unique in the world as being one of very few countries that have expanded their workforce
during the global financial crisis. The Australian workforce has grown by almost a million people from 10.7 million to 11.6 million from November 2007 to November 2013. Over the past year we have shed jobs in Agriculture, Real Estate, Manufacturing, Mining and IT. However, we have created twice as many jobs as we have lost – Retail, Healthcare, Government and Transport. Over the six years of the global financial crisis we have shed jobs in Manufacturing and Agriculture but we have created five times as many jobs elsewhere. These same trends have been present for 30 years (with some bumps along the way). Agriculture and Manufacturing have been in the doldrums for 30 years – an entire generation – this is not new news. Whilst we have lost 256,000 jobs in these two sectors, we have created 21 times the same number of jobs in other sectors – a total of 5.3 million jobs. How much more is earned in these newly created jobs? If workers are paid more, they put more into superannuation, they pay more tax, they spend more and they pay more for a house – a virtuous property cycle.
The newly arrived population have a profound impact on property because they need somewhere to live and goods to put in it. Instant housing and bulky goods demand. Less people leaving the country means fewer houses freed up for those arriving.
With the size of the workforce growing and more people coming into the country (and less leaving) it is little wonder that a recovery in housing is underway. It may not feel like a boom, but it is starting. Credit growth has been rising for a year and prices for dwellings are starting to rise again.
Changes in consumer spending patterns since 2007 appear to have had an adverse effect on department store, apparel and discretionary retailing turnover generally. This has impacted tenants in Regional and some Sub-Regional shopping centres. Lower turnover combined with increasing rents has led to specialty occupancy costs rising to an average of 22 percent (and in some cases substantially higher) in Super Regional, Major Regional and Regional Shopping Centres. This is a level that could generally be described as unsustainable and any one or combinations of three things are likely to happen from here. One, occupancy costs fall to a more sustainable level; two, incentives are provided by the landlord to mitigate the high occupancy costs; three, turnover increases as consumers return. In any case, the returns from this sector of retail appear to be constrained for the foreseeable future.
The structural issues facing retail are more formidable but not insurmountable.

and more room for the non-mining side of the economy to grow.
Savills recorded $6.1 billion of shopping centre transactions nationally in the 12 months to December 2013, up from $4 billion in the previous year and up on the five-year average of $3.5 billion. In the year to December 2013, 118 shopping centres were sold against 92 the previous year and an increase on the five year average of 86 sales per annum.

Savills expect the retail sector to evolve to take advantage of the structural issues rather than be over-run by them. The ageing of the population will continue to create challenges for retailers as they jockey for the dollars of retirees. Retirees can be expected to prefer services over goods and will not necessarily continue to dwell in their traditional catchment areas. Internet retailing has already changed the face of retailing for certain categories of goods and will no doubt continue to evolve and
challenge more categories over time. New business models are establishing themselves. One of the new business models is a “clicks and bricks” strategy where the store and the online presence work together to drive sales. This strategy is still in its infancy in Australia.
Recently, the Reserve Bank of Australia has forecast a peak in mining investment and has seen fit to cut interest rates to their current level of 2.5 percent. This also reflects ongoing low levels of inflation, a steady labour market

Clearly, both buyers and sellers were unwilling to transact large shopping centres in 2009. The uncertainty surrounding the global credit crisis left buyers and sellers paralysed. In 2010, a thaw in conditions meant both buyers and sellers could transact with greater confidence. This is reflected in the increase of sales of centres in the greater than $100 million range.
Traditionally, the retail property market in Australia has been a two tiered market, with the majority of sales volume occurring in the lower value range and a select few major retail investment properties changing ownership in any given period. However, it can be seen clearly during the height of the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, there was a significant fall in high-end sales.
In the 12 months to December 2007 $2.6 billion transacted in the greater than $100 million category. This fell to $153 million in one transaction in the year to December 2009 and has risen to $2.9 billion in the year to December 2013 with 13 shopping centre transactions recorded in the greater than $100 million category.
Important recent transactions include:
ÎÎ A 50 percent share in Centro Bankstown traded in June 2013 for $284.3 million as part of a portfolio with a total value of $602 million. The two level Regional shopping centre has a total GLA of 82,742 square metres. The Centre comprises a Myer Department Store, Big W, target and Kmart Discount Department Stores. A Woolworths and a Supa IGA are complemented by 14 mini majors and 120 specialty stores. The centre had 8 percent vacant at the time of sale. The passing yield was 7.14%. Parking for 3,237 vehicles is made possible on a site of 11.153 hectares.
ÎÎ The May 2013 purchase of the GPT Group’s 50 percent interest in Erina Fair Shopping Centre on the central coast of NSW reportedly purchased for $397.1 million by South Korea’s National Pension Service. The transaction reflected a market yield of between 6.00%-6.25% and an IRR of approximately 8.75%. The remaining 50% is owned by Australian Prime Property Fund Retail, with the Centre being managed by Lend Lease. Lend Lease will continue to manage the Centre as the purchase excluded any management rights. Erina Fair is a predominantly single level, major Regional shopping centre with a total GLA of 102,291 square metres. The centre comprises a Myer Department Store, Big W, Kmart and Target Discount Department Stores, Woolworths, Coles and Aldi supermarkets, a Hoyts cinema complex, in addition to 249 specialty tenancies.
ÎÎ The acquisition of Greensborough Plaza in Victoria by private equity group Blackstone in June 2013 from Australian Prime Property Fund Retail and Lend Lease Funds Management Limited for a purchase price of $360 million reflects a market yield in the vicinity of 7.25%. This three level Regional shopping centre has a Centre GLA of approximately 61,940 square metres, comprising a two level Target Discount Department Store that was previously occupied by Myer, a Kmart Discount Department Store, Coles and Aldi supermarkets, an eight screen Hoyts cinema complex and approximately 185 specialty and kiosk tenancies.
ÎÎ In November 2013, Harbourside Shopping Centre transacted for $252 million on an initial yield of 6.48%. The Centre has a GLA of 19,930 square metres and houses 11 mini majors, 155 specialty stores and has provision for 255 car spaces. The Centre comprises various leasehold stratum lots on a 99 year lease expiring in 2087.

Economic ConditionsEurope continues to move in and out of recession, China manages growth around 7 percent and the tapering of quantitative easing in the United States appears to steady the global bond markets, capital flows and currencies.
The calendar year 2013 marked a significant recovery for investment markets with property sales turnover at record levels and strong gains made on local and global sharemarkets – interest rates have stayed low, the search for yield and security remained strong however there has been more capital allocated for higher risk property including development. The S&P500 index rose 25 percent to a record high reflecting cheap capital and a sense of economic recovery in the United States. The Australian ASX200 Index rose 13 percent and the Australian dollar fell 15 percent against the US dollar. Nationally, over $22 billion of commercial property has been transacted and over 3 million square metres of industrial and office space has been reported leased which gives us confidence that the markets are operating normally.
Commercial property yields in particular continue to look attractive. The Australian economy is being rebalanced as growth in mining softens. This means housing and retail should continue to lift with positive knock on effects to industrial and office markets. As consumer confidence continues to rise, so should business confidence. As profit margins are restored, business decision making should gain momentum. Some State governments will move into election mode and could be expected to provide some stimulus to parts of the economy providing further momentum to investment markets. China and the United States are forecast to contribute positively to Australia’s economic outlook whilst Europe could be on the cusp of a subdued recovery.
With regards to retail sales turnover figures, in seasonally adjusted terms, national retail turnover growth was up 2.9 percent in the year to November 2013. The rate of growth has fallen slightly from 3.2 percent in the year to November 2012 as consumer confidence improved in the face of falling interest rates. This growth took annual national turnover from a seasonally adjusted $255 billion to $263 billion in the 12 months to November 2013.
Retail turnover in Australia can be further divided into six broad categories. These categories are food, household goods, department stores, clothing and soft goods,
hospitality and services, and other. Retail spending in categories such as hospitality and services tend to exhibit greater volatility due to the discretionary nature of the spending whilst spending on food remains relatively constant. Although turnover may be rising, retailer profit margins can be under pressure as lower prices are used to entice customers to purchase. This has been characteristic of the Australian retail market for some years now.
Of the six retail categories most are showing half the growth rates achieved over the last 20 years. This is hardly surprising given the circumstances of technological change, currency movement and consumer behaviour. Significant weakness continues in department stores, clothing and household goods. Whilst it is difficult to get at exactly what the consumer is doing, we know from the National Accounts data that household savings rates are amongst the highest since 1987. This in some ways explains the lacklustre growth in retail trade.
Substitution on overseas internet sites where the strength of the Australian dollar translates to immediate cost savings to the consumer could also go some way towards explaining weakness in clothing and department store turnover. Also, lower shelf prices for imported goods serves to keep dollar turnover low whilst volumes still grow. Clearly there also appears to be some switching from expenditure on goods to expenditure on services.

Sales ActivityForeign and private investors remained active in the investment market for the 12 months ended December 2013, purchasing 37 percent of all retail property sold. Institutions represented by Funds, Trusts and Syndicates accounted for a combined 61 percent of purchasing activity. Private investors had been sidelined from purchasing retail property for a number of years due to strong demand from institutional investors. Also of particular note is the emergence of foreign investors purchasing 20 percent of retail property sold. Evidently, the global financial crisis created a window of opportunity for private and foreign investors to re enter the market. Conditions for Australian institutions have continued to improve and so private and foreign investors are
increasingly finding themselves unable to compete again.
Evidence from transactions between $10 million and $100 million has shown a softening in market yields from peak to trough. This is further illustrated by analysis of valuations of institutional assets where neighbourhood and sub-regional yields have softened by between 100 and 200 basis points and regional centres have softened by around 75 basis points. Private investors have been concentrating on initial yields as the driving force for investment rather than focusing on total returns or market yields. This is primarily due to the cost of debt and the scarcity of finance for purchases in excess of $100 million. While interest rates remain relatively low, emphasis is expected to be placed on the initial yield of investments in the short term.

Nationally, shopping centre investment yields have stabilised as highlighted in the both the chart below and in the tables of recent transactions. Neighbourhood and smaller sub-regional centres continue to transact across a broad range of yields in line with the characteristics of the individual properties.
Clearly some confidence and balance sheet repair has occurred as Trusts, Funds and Syndicates have re-entered the market accounting for 61 percent of combined purchaser activity. This would tend to indicate that more competition is entering the marketplace especially for highly sought after shopping centres.
Shopping centre yields as at December 2013 currently range between 5.50% and 7.00% for regional shopping centres, between 7.25% and 9.00% for sub-regional shopping centres, between 7.00% and 10.00% for neighbourhood shopping centres and between 8.75% and 11.00% for bulky goods centres. Typically,
yields have softened for bulky goods shopping centres over the year whilst they have firmed slightly for sub-regional shopping centres.

OutlookInstitutional investors have re-entered the market with freestanding assets and shopping centres high on their investment lists. Furthermore, local conditions have caught the attention of international investors, as good quality; tightly held assets have been available.
The retail sector faces both cyclical and structural issues. Some cyclical issues are starting to move in its favour. Consumer confidence is improving, certainly not deteriorating and the cyclical falls in interest rates are certainly helping. Employment is growing strongly in four or five sectors and shrinking in four or five sectors and the jobs gained and lost are not necessarily in the same physical place. This means certain catchment areas are doing it tough and some are doing well. Strong population growth continues to work in the favour of retail turnover and, as the dollar continues to weaken, tourism numbers should start to rise commensurately.
The structural issues facing retail are more formidable but not insurmountable. Savills expect the retail sector to evolve to take advantage of the structural issues rather than be over-run by them. The ageing of the population will continue to create challenges for retailers as they jockey for the dollars of retirees. Retirees can be expected to prefer services over goods and will not necessarily continue to dwell in their traditional catchment areas. Internet retailing has already changed the face of retailing for certain categories of goods and will no doubt continue to evolve and challenge more categories over time. New business models are establishing themselves. One of the new business models is a “clicks and bricks” strategy where the store and the online presence work together to drive sales. This strategy is still in its infancy in Australia.
Changes in consumer spending patterns since 2007 appear to have had an adverse effect on department store, apparel and discretionary retailing turnover generally. This has impacted tenants in Regional and some Sub-Regional shopping centres. Lower turnover combined with increasing rents has led to some specialty occupancy costs rising to an average of over 22 percent in Regional Shopping Centres. This is a level that could generally be described as unsustainable and any one or combinations of three things are likely to happen from here. One, occupancy costs fall to a more sustainable level; two, incentives are provided by the landlord to mitigate the high occupancy costs; three, turnover increases as consumers return. In any case, the returns from this sector of retail appear to be constrained for the foreseeable future.
Commercial property yields in particular continue to look attractive. The Australian economy is being rebalanced as growth in mining softens. This means housing and retail should continue to lift with positive knock on effects to industrial and office markets. As consumer confidence continues to rise, so should business confidence. As profit margins are restored, business decision making should gain momentum. Some State governments will move into election mode and could be expected to provide some stimulus to parts of the economy providing further momentum to investment markets. China and the United States are forecast to contribute positively to Australia’s economic outlook whilst Europe could be on the cusp of a subdued recovery.
