RESEARCH & FORECAST REPORT

PHILIPPINE REAL ESTATE MARKET

Executive Summary
ECONOMY
The Philippine economy posted a growth of 5.9% in 2Q 2012. The services sector was the main contributor, accounting for 4.3 percentage points of the total GDP growth. Meanwhile, remittances from OFWs reached US$13.7 billion as of YTD August (+5.4%). This has consistently fuelled domestic consumption backed by benign inflation and low mortgage lending rates of 5% to 8%. Driven by the 6.1% growth in the first half of this year, analysts forecasts were recently upgraded to range between 5.0% and 5.5% for the year.

In the next two years, Metro Manila office stock will exceed the seven million sq m mark as developers anticipate sustained demand from the O&O industry. Particularly, new supply is expected to be at over 500,000 sq m in 2013, an increase of 28% YoY and a new historical high. Meanwhile in the Makati CBD, total office stock increased to over 2.75 million following the completion of Zuellig Building (57,000 sq m).

MARKET INDICATORS
OFFICE RESIDENTIAL RETAIL

In the first nine months of 2012, new supply of high-rise residential condominiums in the five sub-markets tracked by Colliers reached almost 5,000 units. Majority of these are located in Fort Bonifacio. In the Makati CBD, the stock is unchanged at 15,513 units since March of this year. Other upcoming completions include Raffles Residences (237 units), Greenbelt Madison (276 units), and The Grand Midori Tower 1 (279 units). Both the Makati CBD and Fort Bonifacio will have the strongest supply pipeline in the next two years.

RETAIL

In the first nine months of this year, Metro Manila new retail supply reached over 60,000 sq m. This is owed to the completion of Magnolia Town Center in Quezon City and the partial relaunch of Glorietta 1 and 2 in Ayala Center. There are roughly 400,000 sq m of super-regional, 150,000 sq m of regional and some 100,000 sq m of district and neighborhood malls currently in the pipeline. In the long term, retail developments will consistently expand across the untapped geographic markets in Metro Manila, around BPO and commercial centers, and within the masterplanned communities.

ECONOMY
The Philippine economy posted a growth of 5.9% in 2Q 2012. Regionally, the countrys economic growth outperformed that of Malaysia (+5.4%), Vietnam (+4.4%), and Singapore (+4.2%), and came in third after China (+7.8%) and Indonesia (+6.4%). The services sector was the main contributor, accounting for 4.3 percentage points of the total GDP growth. It grew by 7.6% in the second quarter which has been attributed to the development of the following subsectors: Real Estate (+19%), Renting and Business Activities (+9.8%) and Ownership of Dwellings (+2.1%). Similarly, government spending on infrastructure facilitated this growth as it increased by 45.7%. Meanwhile, remittances from OFWs reached US$13.7 YTD August (+5.4%). This has consistently fuelled domestic consumption backed by benign inflation and low mortgage lending rates of 5% to 8%. Other supporting fundamentals in the second quarter include employment (+2.8%), and tourist arrivals (+7.0%). Driven by the 6.1% growth in the first half of this year, analysts forecasts were recently upgraded to range between 5.0% and 5.5% (previously 4.5% and 5.0%) by year-end, well within the governments target of 5.0% - 6.0%.

LICENSES TO SELL
Overall residential licenses issued by the HLURB in the first seven months of this year expanded by 24.5%. The latest figures indicate that 119,357 units were licensed as of July, up by around 76,512 units compared to the same period last year. Noticeable rises were seen in the high-rise residential (+77.2%) and low-cost housing segments (+15.9%). Meanwhile, the number of licenses in the socialized housing segment started to improve since the decline in May, however in sluggish increments, up by just 5.9%. In contrast, licenses in the middle-income horizontal housing segment depicted lingering depression which resulted in a contraction of 23.8%. The same segment has decelerated at double-digit rates since March of this year. The decline is believed to be due to an increase in vertical development positioned towards the middle income segment. In Metro Manila, over 50,000 high-rise residential licenses were issued in 2011. Roughly around 82% are in the middle-income segment. This translates to a standard contract price of PHP1.25 million to less than PHP5.0 million. In the first half of 2012, licenses remain geared towards the same segment or approximately 78% of the 37,000 units issued. The most recent of these were Arezzo Place by Phinma Properties (2,160 units), The Pearl Place by RLC (1,367 units), Amaia Skies Avenida North Tower (1,167 units), and Paseo De Roces by Federal Land (1,044 units).

OFFICE SECTOR
Supply In the next two years, Metro Manila office stock will exceed the seven million sq m mark as developers anticipate sustained demand from the O&O industry. Particularly, new supply is expected to be at 500,000 sq m in 2013, an increase of 28% YoY and a new historical high. A large majority of these new office spaces are dedicated BPO facilities. Meanwhile in the Makati CBD, total office stock increased to over 2.75 million following the completion of Zuellig Building (57,000 sq m). Other projects in the pipeline are Alphaland Makati Tower (38,400 sq m), V-Tower (23,000 sq m) and the Glorietta 1 and 2 BPO buildings (27,000 sq m). Office buildings that have been likewise delivered in the third quarter are Net Lima (51,000 sq m) in Fort Bonifacio, and Aseana One (30,000 sq m) in Pasay. While developable land in the major CBDs are constrained, construction activities are expected to build-up around the fringes of Ortigas, Makati, and in other pocket developments in Pasay and Quezon City.

OFFICE SECTOR
Demand In 3Q12, the premium vacancy rate in Makati spiked to 7.6%, from the 2.1% registered in the previous quarter. The increase was mainly due to the remaining inventories in the Zuellig Building. Despite this, the overall rate was narrowed due to the drop in vacancies across Grade A and B offices, by 2.0% and 3.1%, respectively. The outlook on vacancy is that it will decrease at slightly above 3% in the next twelve months while demand gradually picks up.

Demand Residential vacancy in the Makati CBD slightly decreased by 1.55% QoQ. Despite the limited completions in the last six months, vacancy remained at double digits, currently at 10.3%. Still, the bulk of the remaining inventories (lease and sales) consist mainly of studio and onebedroom units. In 3Q12, both Premium and Grade B vacancies were stable at below 5% and 15%, respectively. In contrast, Grade A vacancy dropped by 2.8% to 8% QoQ. In the next twelve months, besides Raffles Residences, new stock will be wholly Grade A residential condominiums. This suggests that vacancy for the same segment may increase by 4% at the most in 3Q13. On the other hand, Grade B vacancy is seen to decrease to 8% while Premium vacancy will remain stable.

Source: Colliers International Philippines Research Rents Rents for luxury 3-BR condominiums have been trending upward over the last three years. Premium 3-BR rental rates in the Makati CBD grew by 15% annually and are pegged at PHP710 per sq m on average. This translates to a monthly rate of PHP177,500 for a 250 sq m unit. Premium rates for both the Makati CBD and BGC are almost the same and will improve modestly by 5% to 6% in the next twelve months due to the considerable upcoming supply. In Rockwell, where supply is limited, Premium rental rates grew 5% YoY to an average of PHP790 per sq m. This is seen to exceed PHP800 per sq m per month in the next six months.

RETAIL
Supply In the first nine months of this year, Metro Manila new retail supply reached over 60,000 sq m. This is owed to the completion of Magnolia Town Center in Quezon City and the partial re-launch of Glorietta 1 and 2 in Ayala Center. Despite the increase, the recently demolished Ever Grand Central (21,700 sq m) resulted in a reduction of retail stock to settle at 6.7 million sq m of leasable space. In the long term, retail developments will consistently expand across the untapped geographic markets in Metro Manila, around BPO and commercial centers, and within master-planned communities. Moreover, retail complexes are likewise anticipated to roll out in the upcoming Entertainment City in Pasay. There are roughly 400,000 sq m of super-regional, 150,000 sq m of regional and some 100,000 sq m of district and neighborhood malls currently in the pipeline. Besides shopping malls and complexes, a substantial number of superstores have also been widely introduced. These are mainly supplied by major retail chain owners such as Puregold Price Club Inc., SM Prime, and Rustans Super Centers, Inc. In Metro Manila, there are over 80 superstores at present which are estimated to amount to 420,000 sq m. This segment is expected to expand further while the amount of largescale developable land becomes limited coupled with the heightened consumer interest in this retail format.

Demand Due to tightened competition, major retail players are moved to reinvent plans and upgrade from traditional retail set-ups. On top of the numerous introductions of local and international brands, mall expansions and continuous refurbishments are progressively done to further accommodate more tenants and eventually intensify foot traffic. These on-going reconstructions have resulted in a temporary reduction in the occupancy rates. Together with the inclusion of new supply, vacancy rates on both super-regional and regional malls rose to 3.17% in the 3Q12 or an occupancy rate of 96.8% from the 98.6% in the previous quarter. Vacancy rates are expected to narrow simultaneous with the re-opening of new mall spaces towards the holiday season.

Spending Indicators During the first nine months of this year, total vehicle sales grew by 2.4% annually to 111,586 units. However, on a quarterly basis, it contracted by 3.8% and fell short by 1,556 units. The decline in sales mainly occurred in August when the severe flooding on top of fewer working days hampered sales activities. The Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI), however, sees sustained strong performance for the remainder of the year. The inflows of new vehicle models backed by a positive economic outlook were cited as the main growth drivers.
