Act), General National Valuation Principles (PKZW),
Valuation Standards of the Polish Federation of Valuers
Association (PFVA) and the Royal Institution of
Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Valuation – Professional
Standards (2012).

We confirm that we have sufficient current local and


national knowledge of the particular property market
involved, and have the skills and understanding to

VALUATION REPORT 12

Assumptions The property details on which each valuation is based


are as set out in this report. We have made various
assumptions as to tenure, letting, town planning, and
the condition and repair of buildings and sites –
including ground and groundwater contamination – as
set out below.

If any of the information or assumptions on which the


valuation is based are subsequently found to be
incorrect, the valuation figures may also be incorrect
and should be reconsidered.

Variation from No
Standard
Assumptions

Market Conditions The values stated in this report represent our objective
opinion of Market Value in accordance with the
definition set out above as of the date of
valuation. Amongst other things, this assumes that the
properties had been properly marketed and that
exchange of contracts took place on this date.
Going forward, we would draw your attention to the
fact that the current volatility in the global financial
system has created a significant degree of turbulence in
commercial real estate markets across the
world. Furthermore, the lack of liquidity in the capital
markets means that it may be very difficult to achieve a
sale of property assets in the short-term. We would
therefore recommend that the situation and the
valuations are kept under regular review, and that
specific marketing advice is obtained should you wish to
effect a disposal.

Verification We recommend that before any financial transaction is


entered into based upon these valuations, you obtain
verification of the information contained within our
report and the validity of the assumptions we have
adopted.
VALUATION REPORT 13

We would advise you that whilst we have valued the


property reflecting current market conditions, there are
certain risks which may be, or may become,
uninsurable. Before undertaking any financial
transaction based upon this valuation, you should
satisfy yourselves as to the current insurance cover and
the risks that may be involved should an uninsured loss
occur.

Methodology Due to the fact that the property is planned for


development we have used the Mixed approach and
Residual method in our valuation.
We have applied the comparative approach and sales
comparison technique for the valuation of penthouses,
apartments and garages.

Valuer The property has been valued by a valuer who is


qualified for the purpose of the valuation in accordance
with the RICS Valuation – Professional Standards (The
Red Book), PFVA Standards and the Polish law.

Independence The total fees, including the fee for this assignment,
earned by CBRE Sp. z o.o. from the Addressee are less
than 5.0% of the total revenues.

Disclosure The principal signatory of this report has not been the
signatory of valuations for the same addressee and
valuation purpose as this report. CBRE Sp. z o.o. has
not continuously been carrying out valuation instructions
for the addressee of this report.

Conflicts of Interest We confirm that we have had no previous material


involvement with the property and that copies of our
conflict of interest checks have been retained within the
working papers.

Reliance This report is for the use only of the party to whom it is
addressed for the specific purpose set out herein and no
responsibility is accepted to any third party for the whole
or any part of its contents.

contemporaneous reference to any departure from the
Valuation Standards or the incorporation of the special
assumptions referred to herein.

2013.

mentioned in the valuation agreement attached to this
report. Our professional liability is limited to

Areas We have relied upon the areas provided by the Client


for the purposes of this valuation.
We have not undertaken site and apartments check
measurements

Environmental We have not undertaken, nor are we aware of the


Matters content of, any environmental audit or other
environmental investigation or soil survey which may
have been carried out on the property and which may
draw attention to any contamination or the possibility of
any such contamination.

We have not carried out any investigation into the past


or present uses of the property, nor of any neighbouring
land, in order to establish whether there is any potential
for contamination and have therefore assumed that
none exists.

Repair and Condition For the completed apartments, we have not carried out
building surveys, tested services, made independent site

or are present, in any part of the property. We are
unable, therefore, to give any assurance that the
property is free from defect.

Town Planning We have been provided with the planning documents


by the Client. We have undertaken a verbal planning
check with the local authorities. Information supplied to

VALUATION REPORT 18

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Capital Values The valuation has been prepared on the basis of
“Market Value”, which is defined by the Property
Management Act dated August 21, 1997 with later
amendments as below:
“Market Value of the Property constitutes the most
probable price, likely to be achieved on the market,
established with the consideration of transactional
prices and based on the following assumptions:
1. the Parties had each acted in an arm's-length
transaction, without compulsion and having the
firm intention to conclude an agreement;
2. the Property was exposed to the market for a
sufficient period of time to negotiate the terms
of an agreement.”
A similar definition of “Market Value” is included in the
PFVA’s Valuation Standards (KSWP 1), in the
International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC)
and adopted by the RICS Valuation – Professional
Standards (2012) – VS 3.2) as well as by TEGoVA
(European Valuation Standards 6th edition - S 5).
“Market Value” is defined as:

“The estimated amount for which an asset or liability


should exchange on the valuation date between a
willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length
transaction after proper marketing and where the
parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and
without compulsion”.

No allowances have been made for any expenses of


realisation nor for taxation which might arise in the
event of a disposal. Acquisition costs have not been
included in our valuation.

No account has been taken of any inter-company


leases or arrangements, nor of any mortgages,
debentures or other charges.

No account has been taken of the availability or


otherwise of capital based Government or European
Community grants.
VALUATION REPORT 19

Key Valuation Dates If it was not specified otherwise, the date on which a
property value was established is identical to the date
on which a property condition was determined.

Special Assumptions According to the Valuation Standards, a “Special


Assumption” is an assumption that:
 either assumes facts that differ from the actual facts
existing at the valuation date,
 or that would not be made by a typical market
participant in a transaction on the valuation date.

Rental Values Rental values indicated in our report are those which
have been adopted by us as appropriate in assessing
the capital value and are not necessarily appropriate for
other purposes nor do they necessarily accord with the
definition of Market Rent.

Legal and Factual Below we present a list of legal and formal bases, upon
Basis which our valuation has been based:
 Civil Code, Law of 23rd April 1964 (Dz. U. No. 16
item 93 with further amendments);
 Building Law of 7th July 1994 (Dz. U, No. 243 item
1623 of 2010);
 Law of 21st August 1997 Act on Property
Administration (unitary text Dz. U. No. 102, item
651 of 2010) with further amendments;
 Council of Ministers Ordinance 21st September
2004 on the detailed principles of preparing
property valuations and of conditions and
procedures of preparing valuation surveys (Dz. U.
No. 207 item 2109 of 2004) with further
amendments
 RICS Valuation – Professional Standards (2012).
 Professional Standards for Property Valuers, PFVA.
2007;
 General National Valuation Principles, PFVA.

Valuation Comparative Approach, Sales Comparison


Methodology Method
This approach involves comparing the subject property
with the closest comparable properties, of which at least
three used for comparison have been sold. The prices
achieved for these properties are then applied to the
subject property or site following an adjustment to
VALUATION REPORT 20

reflect the difference in the nature of the subject


property or investment.
Residual Method
The residual method is described as a method of
determining the value of a property that has potential
for development, redevelopment or refurbishment. The
estimated total cost of the work or construction,
including fees and other associated expenditure, plus
an allowance for interest, developer’s risk and profit, is
deducted from the gross value of the completed project.
The resultant figure is therefore the amount which is
available to purchase the site.

The Property Where appropriate we have regarded the shop fronts of


retail and showroom accommodation as forming an
integral part of the building.

Landlord’s fixtures such as lifts, escalators, central


heating and other normal service installations have
been treated as an integral part of the building and are
included within our valuations.

Process plant and machinery, tenants’ fixtures and


specialist trade fittings have been excluded from our
valuations.

All measurements, areas and ages quoted in our report


are approximate.

Environmental In the absence of any information to the contrary, we


Matters have assumed that:

(a) the property is not contaminated and is not


adversely affected by any existing or proposed

which are regulated by environmental legislation are
properly licensed by the appropriate authorities.

Energy Performance We have been informed that the buildings where the
Certificates penthouses and apartments are located all possess a
current Energy Performance Certificate.

Repair and Condition In the absence of any information to the contrary, we


have assumed that:
VALUATION REPORT 21

(a) there are no abnormal ground conditions, nor


archaeological remains, present which might adversely
affect the current or future occupation, development or
value of the property;

(b) the property is free from rot, infestation, structural or


latent defect;

(c) no currently known deleterious or hazardous


materials or suspect techniques, including but not
limited to Composite Panelling, have been used in the
construction of, or subsequent alterations or additions
to, the property; and

(d) the services, and any associated controls or


software, are in working order and free from defect.

We have otherwise had regard to the age and apparent


general condition of the property. Comments made in
the property details do not purport to express an
opinion about, or advise upon, the condition of
uninspected parts and should not be taken as making
an implied representation or statement about such
parts.

Title, Tenure, Unless stated otherwise within this report, and in the
Planning and Lettings absence of any information to the contrary, we have
assumed that:

(a) the property possesses a good and marketable title


free from any onerous or hampering restrictions or
conditions;

(b) all buildings have been erected either prior to


planning control, or in accordance with planning
permissions, and have the benefit of permanent
planning consents or existing use rights for their current
use;

(c) the property is not adversely affected by town


planning or road proposals;

(d) all buildings comply with all statutory and local


authority requirements including building, fire and
health and safety regulations;
VALUATION REPORT 22

(e) where appropriate, permission to assign the interest


being valued herein would not be withheld by the
landlord where required; and

(f) only minor or inconsequential costs will be incurred if


any modifications or alterations are necessary in order
for occupiers of the property to comply with the
provisions of the relevant disability discrimination
legislation.

exclusive of VAT.

MARKET COMMENTARY
Introduction
We set out below an overview of the Polish economy together with a detailed analysis of
the Warsaw residential market. Where possible we provide details of market transactions
comparable to the subject property, completed within the last two years.

Macroeconomic Overview
Poland has a population of 38.5 million inhabitants. Warsaw is the capital city as well
as the most significant political and economic centre of the country. The city is also
an administrative hub of the Mazovian Voivodship, one of 16 voivodships in Poland.
Currently, the major concern for the country’s economy is associated with the recession
in the Eurozone countries fuelled by the budgetary instabilities. However, the extent
of influence of the recession is not predicted to be profound, as the potential slowdown
has already been accounted for by market participants. Furthermore, the recent decision
of the European authorities in introducing a coherent buyout plan of the distressed
countries’ governmental bonds has been generally accepted by economists, who claim
it should give the most problematic economies enough time to introduce savings
programs, aimed at reducing public debt, which is considered as the most significant
problem of the European economy. If the outcomes of the plan match up to the
expectations, the current slowdown might be overcome in the near future.
Nevertheless, one of the biggest threats concerning Polish short-term economic
expansion is the possibility of a second wave of economic instability in the European
Union, which could again increase pessimism throughout the financial markets.
However, since the middle of 2012, the attitudes of the market participants have seemed
to improve.
The recent economic indicators in Poland confirm the general slowdown well observed
across Europe. Although 2011 GDP growth exceeded analysts’ expectations and
amounted to 4.3%, the GDP growth in 2012 decreased to 2.0%, indicating a
deteriorating trend. The deceleration of the Polish economy is affecting most of the
components of GDP growth. After the EURO 2012 championship the level of
construction diminished as a number of public investments had already been completed.
Industrial output and domestic consumption have also been affected by the slowdown.
However, although the PLN has recently appreciated against the EUR Polish goods still
remain strongly competitive in Europe, especially among Western European countries
whose inhabitants who are being put under pressure to limit their spending.
Although signs of a slowdown are evident, Poland remains perceived as one of the most
stable economies in the CEE region. Forecasts for the upcoming years predict a further
slowdown of GDP growth, which however, should remain positive and amount to 1.3%.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) which registered a slight increase over the whole of
2011 did however decrease in 2012. In April 2013, y-o-y CPI amounted to 0.8% which
represented a significant 3.2 % point decrease in comparison with April 2012. Owing to
the constant volatility of the CPI index and signs of rebound in the global economy, the
Polish monetary authorities signalled a new monetary tightening campaign at the
beginning of 2011. After a number of increases in 2011 and one in 2012, the base
interest rate reached 4.75% at the beginning of May 2012. Although the level of
inflation remained initially above the National Bank of Poland target of 2.5% +/- 1%,
the Monetary Policy Council started to loosen its policy and cut the level of interest rates.
The slowdown of GDP growth together with a decrease of CPI determined a
continuation in the easing policy that started in November and December 2012. After six
decreases in 2013 the base interest rate now stands at 2.50%.

PROPERTY REPORT 38

The business conditions in Poland remain very attractive in comparison to other


European economies. Massive infrastructure investments, partly triggered by the EURO
2012 event and supported by large EU funds, have improved the image of Poland
as an attractive investment destination and have contributed to the creation of new retail,
office and industrial hubs.
In the next European Financial Perspective Poland will remain a beneficiary of funds.
On 8 February, EU leaders agreed on a total budget of EUR 960 billion for the EU
in 2014-2020, significantly less than the EUR 1.025 trillion originally proposed by the
Commission – a difference of at least 6.34%. The two main pillars for the EU’s
development aid are the European Development Fund (EDF) and the Development
Cooperation Instrument (DCI). Both have been slashed significantly as part of the budget
negotiations. The slimmed-down proposal appears to be a victory for British Prime
Minister David Cameron, who has held out for sharp reductions in spending at a time
when most national governments are producing austerity fiscal plans. Poland negotiated
the total amount of EUR 105.8 billion, which is regarded as a success in general
particularly when compared to the period of 2007-2013 (EUR 101.5 billion).
Despite the unstable economic situation on the global markets, Poland is considered to
be one of the top potential destinations for new investment or expansion projects in
Europe.

According to the preliminary data published by NBP, the total inflow of foreign direct
investment (FDI) into Poland reached almost 2.8 billion in 2012 showing a significant
decrease when compared to 2011 (EUR 13.5 billion).
The interest in Poland, showed by foreign investors, attests the good condition
of the Polish economy. According to the PAIiIZ (Polish Information and Foreign
Investment Agency), the key motives behind the decision to invest in Poland include
the size and absorptive capacity of the market (with over 38 million people Poland ranks
as the largest country in Central Europe), relatively low labour costs, good business
environment, growing integration into the global economy and the success of Poland’s
privatisation programme.
PROPERTY REPORT 39

As at May 2013 the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency was running
more than 157 projects worth almost EUR 3.9 billion. These projects are to generate
nearly 29,800 job positions. The majority of the investment comes from the US (44
projects worth EUR 0.9 billion), Germany (20 projects worth EUR 0.48 billion), China
(12 projects worth EUR 0.24 billion) as well as the United Kingdom (10 projects),
Switzerland (9 projects) and Sweden (7 projects). The most popular sectors are BPO (38
projects, EUR 37 million), automotive (24 projects, EUR 1.34 billion) and R&D (15
projects). In 2013, the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency closed 18
projects (EUR 0.48 billion)
In order to attract new investors, the Polish government and local authorities have
implemented a number of programs offering different incentives for newcomers. The
most popular schemes are tax exemptions, support in terms of co-financing of the
adjacent infrastructure and others, including direct funding in Special Economic Zones
(SEZs).
Currently there are 14 SEZs located in different regions and cities. They differ in terms of
size, location, business profile, land development conditions, road and technical and
telecommunications infrastructure. The zones are to operate until 2017, with the
exception of the Katowice SEZ (until 2016) and Euro-Park SEZ in Mielec (until 2015).
The zones are mainly focused on supporting manufacturing industry, but some of them
also include a number of office buildings (e.g. in Katowice and Lodz). An entrepreneur
who establishes a business within a SEZ may draw on regional support in the form of
income tax deductions or direct grants. The type and amount of the support usually
depends on the value of the capital expenditure incurred or the number of new jobs
created.
The most prosperous economic sectors connected with new foreign investment in Poland
include: automotive, aviation, biotechnology, BPO, domestic appliances, electronics, IT,
mechanical industry, metal industry, R&D and renewable energy.
The unemployment rate in Poland in March 2013 stood at 14.3% (compared to 13.3%
in March 2012), indicating an increasing trend. The rise of unemployment is caused
by the conservative attitudes of companies, which seem to reflect European uncertainty.
In line with long term forecasts, despite the strong fundamentals of the Polish economy,
the unemployment level may gradually increase till the end of Q2 2013.

PROPERTY REPORT 41

Microeconomic Overview
Location
The area of Mazowieckie region covers 35,600 sq km and is home to 5.37 million
inhabitants i.e. 14% of the total population in Poland. According to the latest studies,
Warsaw has 1.7 million registered citizens plus the estimated 250,000 of unregistered
persons living within the city followed by another 500,000 travelling to Warsaw on a
daily basis. That adds up to almost 2.5 million inhabitants in total. The city covers an
area of 517 sq km and has a population density of 3,300 people per 1 sq km.
The River Vistula divides the capital into west and east sides, with central Warsaw largely
situated on the west side of the river. The city is divided into 18 districts, 11 of which are
located on the left bank of the Vistula and the remainder on the right.
Commercial developments are located mostly to the west of the river in Srodmiescie,
Wola, Ochota and Mokotow districts. Industrial space accounts for 5% of the city’s area
and is situated mainly in Bialoleka, Targowek, Ursus, Bielany and nearby the Warsaw
Frederic Chopin Airport in Okecie. The green areas in Warsaw cover 38% of the city’s
surface with the biggest share in Rembertów (80%), Wawer (80%) and Bialoleka (45%).

Infrastructure
Warsaw Frederic Chopin International Airport is located just 10 km away from the city
centre. With over 320 international and domestic flights a day and over 9.5 million
passengers in 2012 it is by far the largest airport in Poland. In 2008 and 2011 the
airport underwent an expansion program. During the first phase of expansion a new
terminal was added. As a result of the second extension, the number of gates was
increased from 15 to 27. Future plans concerning the area of the airport involve the
construction of a multi-use area known as Chopin Airport City. Apart from a park and a
small public plaza, it will comprise 150,000 sq m of usable space and consist of a
business park, conference centre, a shopping mall, hotels and a fitness centre. The
planned budget of the investment is estimated at EUR 2.5 billion.
The main railway station in the city is Warszawa Centralna. As a result of the UEFA
EURO 2012 sport event that was held in June 2012, it has recently been renovated. The
station is the main railway hub connecting Warsaw with the majority of Polish regional
cities and European capitals. In Warsaw, there are also 5 additional major train stations
and a number of smaller stations for suburban lines. Currently the Polish Railway (PKP) is
working on a strategy to develop and refurbish a number of railways and stations
throughout the country in cooperation with private investors.
Warsaw is Poland’s main road, rail and air transportation hub; however it lacks a good
circular road system. Currently, two ring roads as well as the second metro line are
being constructed. Improvement to the existing bridges and development of new ones is
also under way. One of the most important improvements in the near future will include
the completion of the S2 route, being a part of the Warsaw ring road. In 2013 the part
of the route connecting the A2 highway and the Warsaw Airport should be delivered.
The Warsaw metro is one of Europe's newest metro systems and the only one in Poland.
It consists of a single north-south line that links central Warsaw with its densely
PROPERTY REPORT 42

populated northern (Mlociny, Bielany) and southern suburbs (Kabaty). The first section
was opened in 1995, with the final section being completed in October 2008. Around
580,000 passengers are transported during an average working day by the current
metro line.
The construction works of the second line, crossing the city from east to west, were
commenced in September 2010. Its first, central section will consist of 7 stations: Rondo
Daszynskiego, Rondo ONZ, Swietokrzyska, Nowy Swiat, Powisle, Stadion and Dworzec
Wilenski. It will pass under the Vistula River between the Powisle and Stadion stations.
The vast part of the financing for building this section has been secured from the
European Union’s funds. The original plan to finish this section in time for Euro 2012
appeared to be overoptimistic. Currently, the central part of the second line is
announced for delivery by the end of 2014. The construction works are being carried
out using a modern boring technology which should allow for much faster construction
compared to the first line. The remaining part of the second line, which will consist of 28
stations in total, will be built later on.
The long-term plans concerning the metro line involve a short third line, which will
eventually connect central Praga with its southern part.

Economy & Industry


In April 2013 the average gross monthly salary in the private sector in the Mazowieckie
Region was at the level of PLN 4,747 (EUR 1,117) and the unemployment rate oscillated
around 11.5%. Warsaw is the city with one of the highest gross monthly salary levels in
the private sector in Poland (PLN 5,130 in April 2013).
Despite the uncertainty caused by the recent European fiscal turbulence, forecasts show
that the employment level in Warsaw will be constantly growing, particularly in Business,
Financial and other Services, which, to a large extent, generate the demand for modern
office space. The average yearly growth in these sectors between years 2013 and 2020
is estimated at around 1%.
With the highest GDP among Polish cities, Warsaw produces more than 13% of the
national income. The majority of Warsaw citizens are employed in Wholesale and retail
trade (14%), Transport and storage (12%) and Professional, scientific & technical
activities (10%). The city hosts not only many national institutions and government
agencies, but also a large number of domestic and international companies.
Warsaw also features some other industries, including manufacturing, steel, electrical
engineering, and automotive, although there have not been many industrial investments
recently attracted to the city. The major factories operating in the administrative borders
of the city are the Arcelor Steel Mill and FSO.

Wilanow District
Wilanow is one of the 18 Warsaw districts and is located on the west bank of the Vistula
River. It occupies an area of 36.7 sq km and is home to around 19,600 inhabitants.
The district is famous for the Wilanow Palace, the summer residence of the King Jan III
Sobieski. Interesting landscapes, easily accessible cultural monuments and the great
number of lakes constitute the district’s main qualities. The assets of Wilanow are its
large green areas, the possibilities of recreation in Natolinski Park and in Kabacki Forest,
Marysin which is situated by the eastern edge of the Palace Park and a charming area by
the Vistula River. The district also benefits from the largest number of bicycle trails in the
capital, ca. 8 km.
Wilanow also disposes of significant investment potential. The local preferences for
investments have included inter alia housing, villa residences and apartment complexes
accompanied by commercial and services functions. Construction of the first large retail
project known as Wilanow Shopping Centre of aproximately 60,000 GLA has been
announced by GTC.
The district’s dynamic development both in terms of residential schemes supported by
infrastructure (extension of main exit route: Rzeczypospolitej Ave. and the other main
district artery of Wilanowska Ave.) and commercial investments (eg. Wilanow Office
Park, the above mentioned retail project by GTC) each year attract new inhabitants
seeking a quiet, undisturbed and convenient place to live.

Warsaw Residential Market


General Overview – all segments
The global financial crisis that broke out in mid 2008 had a direct negative effect on the
residential market in Poland.
The increasing number of restrictions on credit due to the growing impact of the financial
turmoil was reflected in the toughened policy of the Banking Supervision Commission
(Komisja Nadzoru Bankowego) resulting in higher equity costs, diminishing credibility of
private individuals and the lower LTV levels offered by banks to customers.
Due to slowing demand, developers had to cut their margins, however, in some projects
it was not enough –many were postponed or converted into office and services functions.
As a result (together with the uncertainty on the labour market), a drop in apartment
sales ensued, with the worst period recorded at the end of 2008 and beginning of
2009. The fall in sales was simultaneously followed with a decrease in the number of
new completions.
In the last two years there has been a significant decrease in the number of newly
completed apartments for sale or rent. In 2011 the total number of new apartments
amounted to only 9,262 in Warsaw, which is a 22% decrease compared to 2010 and
more than a 50% decrease since 2009. However, in 2012 the number rose to 13,118
units, with a noticeable revival and an increase of 42% when compared to 2011.

In 2012, the housing market witnessed an increase in the number of completed


apartments, which was largely as a result of the projects for which construction started
in 2010. The recovery of 2010 was continued in 2011 when an increasing number of
residential projects were started.
The construction of 11,797 residential units was started in 2012, (of which almost 90%
was by developers, for sale or rent). The number of Building Permits issued amounted to
12,714 residential units (these figures representing respectively a 19.9% and 18.8%
decrease when compared to 2011).
The average size of dwelling completed in 2012 amounted approximately 70.1 sq m
and showed a decrease when compared to 2011 by 9.3 sq m. The average size of
apartments for sale of rent amounted to 64.6 sq m (a 3.6 sq m decrease). The reduction
continued the decrease trend observed over the last five years.
In the 2012, the majority of dwellings were built within Bialoleka, Mokotow, Bemowo,
Bielany and Praga Poludnie districts (over 50%). Only 2% of completed dwellings were
located in Srodmiescie district.

For 10 years, developers have held a dominant position in the accommodation


developed for sale or rent. The role of housing coopertatives on the market, mainly due
to changes in the law, has been recently limited.
The vast majority of accommodation is sold in a so called “developers’ standard” that
includes only: installation supply to the premises, windows and exterior doors, without
the so-called "white assembly." In some housing projects, developers are also offering
paid finishing packages that include painted walls, finished floors, furnishings, kitchen
fittings and bathroom equipment.
Most of the new development projects have commercial premises located on the ground
floor of the building designated for sale or rent. These properties are occupied mostly by
grocery stores, pharmacies, beauty salons or bank branches. In the more prestigious
locations tenants or owners of the premises also include restaurants, cafes or designer
clothing stores.

Upper class residential apartments


The analysis of upper class residential apartment projects before 2006 shows that the
average price for the most expensive ones, mainly located in the city centre was at the
level of PLN 10,000. For the most expensive project - Residence Opera House, located
at Saski Park, housing unit prices ranged from 14,000 to 15,000 PLN.
High quality finishing of standard projects includes among others, the following
elements, emphasizing prestige:
 stone facade (granite, marble, travertine), finishing details in glass and wood;
 advanced safety systems, including front desk, monitoring, video intercom system;
 additional infrastructure to improve comfort (air-conditioning, further processed
water) and recreation (swimming pool, sauna, spa, exercise room);
 high quality “white assembly” finishing is offered sometimes in several standards
directly by the developer.
PROPERTY REPORT 47

Further analysis of the projects reveals some additional aspects related to the
characteristics of this market:
 projects were largely rather small in size with the number of apartments usually not
exceeding 50 (Residences: Opera, Sea Eye, Villa Monaco) with a maximum of just
over 70 (Residence Multico);
 diversified apartment sizes with, in the majority, large premises of more than 100 sq
m, with a complementary range of small apartments of 60 sq m. The number of
smaller apartments was rather limited with those of less than 50 sq m present only in
single projects where (such as Opera Residence, Sea Eye, Mondrian House) the flats
were not very large. Apartments of more than 200 sq m are usually only common for
penthouses on the top floors often provided with large terraces;
 in the years 2006 - 2008, a significant increase in housing prices in all segments,
including luxury, prompted developers to begin more new projects of a higher
standard with asking prices often exceeding PLN 20,000 per sq m.
In addition to small projects from a few to several dozen apartments, new investments of
a much larger scale started to emerge on the market (Atelier Residence or Restaura
Gorskiego). The availability of financing meant that even projects with a low level of
sales had a chance to start and continue. This led to a situation where when the
financial crisis of 2009 began, there were many projects finished or in an advanced
stage of construction with a large number of homes available that could not find buyers.
This difficult situation forced the following changes to the offer of premium class
apartments:
 offer prices, after a year of stagnation witnessed slow, gradual reductions. Only the
most attractive flats were purchased and those that had prices which were really
competitive, often decreased further because of the financial problems of the
developer;
 lowered prices forced developers to abandon the costly add-ons offered to enhance
the prestige of the investments such as : pool, sauna, exercise room;
 reduced offer levels for apartments finished to a "turnkey" standard were not
considered as very popular by clients. Some projects abandoned the offer of turnkey
finishing that had been initially available.
As a result of the changes detailed above the recent characteristics of upper class
projects can be characterized as follows:
 high-quality finish of the building remains as a standard, including stone, wood and
glass finishes, protection and monitoring in selected projects with a reception in
single projects. The turnkey standard is now offered only in individual projects and it
is being replaced by external companies cooperating with the developer that
undertake the finishing works according to individual housing arrangements in line
with the customers’ preference;
 an air-conditioning system or the technical preparation of the building installation for
mounting individual devices within homes is increasingly popular.
PROPERTY REPORT 48

Competition for new projects still remains for luxury apartments on the secondary
market, finished to a very high standard and in the most prestigious locations.
Despite the crisis, prices of luxury apartments remain at a relatively high level especially
in the most prestigious locations.

Apartments in high rise buildings


The limited number of tower projects (not only residential but also commercial) among
the many that were presented on the market, have finally been completed. The reason
for this situation being that most of the announced investments were not so much
determined by the needs of buyers (residential), but by a kind of land speculation.
Tower buildings are successfully built in highly urbanized cities in developed countries as
they are a response to the real needs of the market, namely the physical absence of
development sites for the realization of projects with a smaller number of units. In this
context, Warsaw and the other largest regional cities in Poland do not suffer from such
limited availability of land for redevelopment of low and medium-high buildings.
The high cost of construction of such facilities and the very purpose of realization -
maximum utilization of expensive space in the city centre (very high cost of land
purchase), results in apartments in such projects being directed at the wealthiest
inhabitants.
Among the five highest residential/mixed use towers built in Poland, only two of them:
Sea Towers in Gdynia and the Sky Tower in Wroclaw exceed a height of 100 m. The
remaining three, developed in Warsaw, include Lucka City, Cosmopolitan and Zlota 44
(the last two are currently under construction).

Demand
The situation on the market relating to the financing of apartments has been changing
dynamically during the last few years. At the end of 2009 banks started to loosen their
restrictive mortgage policies (easier access to financing, increasing the LTV ratio to even
100%). The changes were trigged mainly by the high level of savings accumulated
in the banking sector as well as by the stabilization on the global and local markets.
This trend was continued in 2010 but changed by mid 2011 as a result of the worsening
situation on the international financial markets, compounded by banks further risk-
limiting procedures. Due to the increasing bank requirements, by the end of 2011 the
offer of mortgage financing for residential properties was severely limited and available
almost only in Polish currency.
The second half of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 also brought changes in the legal
regulations concerning developers’ businesses, the banking sector and borrowers, which
noticeably influenced the availability and methods of property financing. The major
changes included a Developers’ Law (in force since 29th April 2012) and Commission
of Financial Supervision recommendations (in force partially since mid-2011
and partially since mid-2012).
The Developers’ Law limited the possibility of new project development financing
with financial inputs from future purchasers and obliged developers to keep an escrow
PROPERTY REPORT 49

account – to accumulate the future purchasers’ inputs. The law also introduced the
necessity of widening the information policy relating to developers (an obligation of
issuing a prospectus) as well as concluding pre-sale agreements in the form of Notarial
Deeds.
As a result of the state of Polish public finance, a further increase in the VAT rate is
probable. Assuming its steady growth in the next few years it may reach the level of 10%,
which would lead to increased prices and could limit demand on the primary residential
market.
Due to the significant budgetry burdens as of 1st January 2012 the program “Rodzina
na swoim” supporting the purchase of residential apartments by young families was
closed. According to the program the State Treasury financed up to 50% of the
mortgage interest for the first 8 years. The total amount of mortgage loans supported by
the program in 2011 and 2012 amounted respectively to 10.2 and 7.9 billion PLN.
Currently there are on-going plans for another program “Mieszkanie dla młodych”,
supporting citizens who are purchasing their first apartment by increasing their cash
deposits for apartment purchases. The program is scheduled to be launched at the
beginning of 2014.

 The unstable economic situation on the global financial markets, caused mainly
by the economic problems of major European countries including Greece, Ireland,
Spain, Portugal, Italy or Hungary has had a negative impact on the perception by
investors of the whole Western and Central European region; this may result in a
drop in foreign direct investment in Poland and consequently may have an impact on

Prices
Residential apartment prices – Poland
According to a survey of redNet Consulting, at the end of April 2013, the average
transaction price of residential units sold reached a value lower than the average asking
price of apartments available on the market. The largest price differences for apartments
sold and the asking price per apartment offered was recorded in Katowice and Gdansk
(-8.0%); in other Polish cities the negative difference between asking prices of available
and sold apartments shows a declining trend (8% in February, 6% in March and 5% in
April – the average for 7 agglomerations). Only in Lodz have the average asking prices
for sold apartments been higher than those recently offered on the market (1.6%
difference). The largest increase in prices of units sold in April 2013 compared to the
previous month was recorded in Gdansk (3.0%) and was smaller in Wroclaw, Katowice
and Warsaw (between 0.2 -0.5%). Taking into account the seven largest
agglomerations, the average price of sold apartments increased by 0.7% compared to
the previous month.

Below we present a number of transactions of residential apartments and penthouses
in selected projects in Wilanow district concluded within the last two years that are, in
our opinion, most comparable to the subject property. The Wilanow One project delivers
to the market apartments and penthouses of the highest quality in this part of Wilanow
District, therefore in searching for the most comparable apartment transactions’ we
focused on this project. As the market for penthouses is quite narrow we also searched
for other projects which sold large size penthouses with terraces.

Office Market Overview


Warsaw is divided into two main office markets (the City Centre and Non Central
Warsaw) and into nine submarkets. Such division enables the market to be analysed
more thoroughly.

Warsaw Office Sub-markets

Source: CBRE
PROPERTY REPORT 55

The submarkets within the City Centre include:


 Core – Central Business District (Srodmiescie);
 Fringe of City Centre;
whereas the Non-Central market is divided into:
 North (N) – Zoliborz and Bemowo;
 East (E) – Praga and other eastern districts;
 Lower South (LS) – along Pulawska St.;
 South East (SE) – Sadyba and Wilanow;
 South West (SW) – Ochota, Wlochy and Okecie – mostly along Jerozolimskie and
Zwirki i Wigury streets;
 Upper South (US) – Mokotow district including Sluzewiec Przemyslowy up to the
railway line to Radom;
 West (W) – Wola.
The development of office hubs in Warsaw rarely depended on tenant’s preferences in
the past. The major factor influencing investors’ decisions regarding the location of their
projects was usually the availability of development sites in easily accessible locations.
The first office hubs were developed in the post-industrial areas and on the sites of old
factories, such as Empark – the very first business park in Warsaw. For tenants, the most
important location factor, apart from the costs and the standard of the buildings, are the
proximity to the City Centre or the Airport as well as the car and public transport
accessibility.
In the long term, infrastructure development is to be considered as the major factor
influencing tenants’ decisions regarding their location preferences. Future roads and
metro lines will influence the choice of occupiers and are predicted to move a vast share
of leasing activity to the city fringes in the long run.
An area that is especially attractive in this regard is the West (W). The zone is located
relatively close to the City Centre and offers a wide availability of post-industrial land for
sale. It is strongly possible that in the longer run this area will become a significant office
hub in Warsaw. Developers have already taken note of that opportunity and are joining
forces in order to promote the area as the new, dynamic and attractive office
destination. Furthermore, Wola should benefit greatly from the completion of the second
metro line, which will significantly improve the public transportation in the district.

Supply and Pipeline


Since 2000 the number of office buildings and the total office area in Warsaw has been
constantly increasing. In Q1 2013, the total modern office stock increased by over
76,000 sq m in 4 new projects. In total, the modern office stock in Warsaw stands at
over 3.9m sq m located in over 400 modern office buildings. Around 33% of this space
is located in the City Centre.
Circa 63% of the total office space in Q1 2013 was delivered vacant, on a speculative
basis.

The majority of the standalone buildings are usually located in the City Centre
and the surrounding area, while the business parks tend to be located in the fringe
of the city or in the post – industrial areas such as Sluzewiec Przemyslowy in Mokotow

Currently, the preferred locations for the majority of office occupiers are the Central
zone, the South-West and Upper South parts of Warsaw including Mokotow and Okecie
districts. These particular locations have already encountered a dynamic development
activity. Additionally, there are also many older office buildings located around the
aforementioned locations, which may effectively compete with the new stock, once
refurbished.

The current economic situation has had a strong impact on development activity. The
market is strongly influenced by the banking sector, which introduced more restrictive
and risk aware credit policies in the time of economic slowdown. The access to
financing, which has been strongly limited during the recent years, is still being
restrained, due to the uncertainty caused by the fiscal problems of the Euro area. A
standard practice for the bank is to ask for at least a 5% pre-let for each instalment of
the loan (in total up to even 40%). Moreover, banks expect their own contribution to be
at the level of at least of 30% of the value of the project.

Only those projects for which construction should start by the end of the H1 2013
should be considered as likely to be delivered by the end of 2014. The relatively high
level of new office space expected for delivery in 2013-2015 corresponds with the
strong level of demand recorded since the market’s recovery registered in 2010.
PROPERTY REPORT 59

Currently, there is around 608,000 sq m of modern office space being built in Warsaw
in 38 projects. Most of them are being developed outside the City Centre (circa
468,000 sq m), representing some 76% of total office space under construction. Only
32% of the currently developed office space has already been pre-leased. In comparison
to other European cities, Warsaw is one of the most active in terms of the amount of
constructed new stock.
As a result of the turmoil on the world’s financial markets, developers have been quite
cautious with regard to their strategic decisions. Currently however, their attitudes seem
to have become more optimistic, fuelled by the strong performance of tenants over the
last two years. Below we present the biggest projects, currently being developed in
Warsaw.

Wilanow Office Competition


Wilanow constitutes a part of the South East office submarket (Sadyba and Wilanów).
Both the existing and under construction/planned modern office projects in Wilanów (SE)
as well as others located in the Non-Central submarket Lower South (LS) and partially
selected buildings in the south part of the Upper South (US) present the greatest
competition for the office part of the subject project.
Currently, the South-East submarket encompasses 21 completed modern office buildings
comprising a total office area of almost 181,000 sq m. Additionally, 1 project with a
total area of around 8,000 sq m is currently under construction, with a further 6 projects
at the planning stage; projects planned and under construction will together comprise a
total area of around 175,000 sq m, out of which 152,300 sq m is scheduled for
delivery between 2014 and 2015.
The existing, under construction and planned office buildings listed below are, in our
opinion, competition for the subject property:

Demand level
For years, the demand for modern space in Warsaw has been characterised by stable,
strong growth, fuelled by the strong performance of Poland’s economy. A single year of
slowdown was registered in 2009, caused mainly by external factors associated with the
global financial crisis. However, in 2010 the market returned to its previous growth path.
In the last year, the total office take-up in Warsaw amounted to 608,500 sq m, of which
28% was attributable to the Central locations, while the rest was registered in Non-
Central locations, mostly in the Mokotow and Jerozolimskie area. The results of Q1
2013 confirm that the demand for office space in Warsaw remains healthy.
The demand for modern offices throughout 2013 should remain strong. Companies and
investors have become accustomed to operating within uncertain circumstances and are
much better prepared for any foreseen general slowdown than three years ago.
The long term economic forecasts relating to the level of employment in the Financial
and Business sector in Warsaw suggest that companies will need more office space in
order to expand their operations and to create additional working places for new
employees.
As with the previous quarters, the demand in Q1 2013 was triggered mainly by
companies from the manufacturing, business services and the financial sector. In Q1
2013, the largest deals included the renewal of BNP Paribas (11,000 sq m) in Trinity
Park II, renewal and expansion of Play (9,600 sq m) in Marynarska Business Park and
the pre-lease agreement of Konsalnet (8,200 sq m) in Jana Kazimierza 53/55.

Warsaw, as the capital of Poland will undoubtedly develop in the future, attracting new
investors. A simple way to estimate the future demand for office space is to analyse
predictions regarding future employment levels, as this has a direct impact on office
take-up. However, it is important to note that many other factors (such as GDP and FDI
growth) also influence the level of demand for office space and all the possible demand
drivers form a very complex structure. Therefore demand forecasts may differ in different
market scenarios. According to the Oxford Economics data the employment levels in
sectors generating demand for office space (services, finance, business services, and
public services) should grow by at least 50,000 till 2017. Assuming that the average
office space required for one employee is around 12 sq m, we can forecast that the
market absorption within the next 5 years should reach at least 120,000 sq m per year.
The most intensive increase should be observed in business, financial and other services.
Public administration is forecasted to decrease in terms of employment, in line with the
debt reduction efforts.
The total take-up figure includes expansion of existing space, pre-lets, owner-occupied
space, lease renewals and new transactions. The share of renegotiations amounted to
almost 37% of the total leasing activity in Q1 2013. Around 38% of the take-up volume
was attributable to new deals in existing buildings. The share of pre-let transactions
totalled a significant amount of 19%, thanks to a number of large pre-lease
transactions: the biggest pre-lease was closed by Konsalnet (8,200 sq m) in Jana
Kazimierza 53/55 developed in the West zone by Laris, followed by a deal of Schneider
(7,000 sq m) in Park Rozwoju. The third biggest pre-lease was Alior (6,100 sq m) in
Lopuszanska Business Park II (South West zone). The scheme, which is developed by
Ghelemco is scheduled for delivery at the end of 2013.

While in the Western markets built-to-suit agreements in offices are quite common, in
Poland pre-construction transactions are scarce, even if the pre-let take-up share has
been claimed to be high. For many market players the phrase ‘pre-let’ does not always
mean the same, as there are three types of pre-lease agreements in the markets: Built-
to-Suit, Pre-construction and Pre-completion leases. From the financing point of view,
the most important are the first two cases, when developers manage to secure tenants
for the buildings, before bearing the major costs of the construction. In total, since
2003, only 20% of all pre-let and 4% of lease transactions volume in Warsaw were
signed prior to the construction. That situation has greatly improved since the beginning
of 2011 with a number of large pre-lease transactions being registered, including
Orange (43,700 sq m), T-Mobile (27,000 sq m) and Frontex (14,600 sq m). As the
historic figures show, many office buildings in Warsaw and in other Polish cities as well,
were delivered empty, on a speculative basis.

Vacancy Rates
As a result of low levels of new supply and accelerating demand in past quarters, the
overall Warsaw office vacancy rate has been declining since 2009. In 2011 it hit a
cyclical low at 6.7% in Q4 2011. However, due to the growing amount of speculative
completions, the vacancy rate entered a growth path at the beginning of 2012.
Nevertheless, the increased amount of vacant office space should be gradually absorbed
in the longer run.
The lowest availability ratio at the end of Q1 2013 was recorded in the South-East (5%),
Northern (7%) and City Centre (9%) zones. The highest vacancy rate was registered in
the Lower-South (16%) and Eastern (12%) zones.
At the end of Q1 2013 the vacancy rate in Warsaw amounted to 9.9%, with the level of
9.6% registered in the City Centre and 10% in Non-Central locations.

Net absorption (understood as the new space leased on the market) in 2012 accounted
for almost 170,000 sq m, i.e. 28% of total take-up. The average level of annual
absorption registered since 2009 is lower than the amount of office space that is
expected for delivery in the next two years. That should translate into increased vacancy
levels in the nearest future.
PROPERTY REPORT 68

As most of the companies are applying a conservative strategy towards their future
expansion plans, no significant increases in the level of absorption should be expected in
the near future.

Rental Evidence and Lease Terms


The worsening attitudes on the global financial markets translated into a significant
decrease of the level of prime headline rents in Warsaw, which reached the cyclical low
in the end of 2009, at the level of EUR 21 – 23/sq m/month. However, 2010 brought a
gradual increase in the rental level, which was carried well into 2011 and 2012.
PROPERTY REPORT 69

In the end of Q1 2013 prime headline rents in Warsaw amounted to EUR 26 – 27/sq
m/month in the City Centre and to EUR 15 – 16 in Non-Central locations. Average
headline rents in modern office buildings located within the City Centre range from
EUR 20 to 22/sq m/month, whereas in Non-Central located office buildings rents vary
between EUR 14 and 15/sq m/month. Due to the increasing amount of modern office
space under construction in Warsaw, no rental increases should be expected in the
nearest future.

Developers, in the light of tough competition, offer a number of incentives, particularly in


Non-Central locations. Tenants’ incentives are less common in prime office buildings
within the City Centre, reflecting the smaller discrepancy between headline and effective
rents, which are usually 15-20% lower than the headline rates. As the amount of
speculatively constructed office space in Warsaw remains high, we expect an increased
pressure on the average rental level throughout 2013.

PROPERTY REPORT 70

As the amount of speculative office space that will be delivered to the market in the near
future remains significantly high, the average rental level might decline gradually during
the next 12 months. However, prime rental levels remain relatively high as the availability
of office space in the most desirable locations is still limited. Therefore, the prime rental
level for those office buildings located in the CBD should remain stable throughout
2013.

Investment Market and Yield Evidence


After a period of a general slowdown in terms of real estate investment and turbulence
on the financial markets, 2011 and 2012 brought a recovery in this regard. Last year,
Poland witnessed strong demand for quality products, driven mainly by the core funds.
Prime quality assets with sustainable and proven locations were of interest to investors.
The activity was focused primarily on Warsaw, where the majority of the office
transactions took place and on the big regional cities where significant retail transactions
were completed. In addition, the share of logistic investments was above the average
due to the portfolio disposals that were completed last year.
In 2012 investment volume in Central & Eastern Europe was around 35% lower than in
2011 and reached €7.4 billion, despite solid year-end economic results in Poland and
Russia. Notably, these two markets are increasingly driving CEE volumes, although both
of them saw a year-on-year fall in transaction volumes. Total investment activity in
Poland amounted to EUR 2.7 billion in 2012, which is some 0.5% less in comparison to
2011. It is notable that Q4 2012 proved to be the most active quarter for Poland since
2006, with transactions worth over €1.6 billion in total.
Last year, retail and office investment volumes registered a slight decline, while industrial
investment considerably improved. In total, 47 investment transactions were completed
in 2012. Offices are considered to be the most liquid assets in Poland with 16 schemes
transacted last year, amounting to 35% of the investment volume. The retail sector was
responsible for 48% of investment share with 17 schemes worth over EUR 1.3 billion
sold last year. The industrial stake improved from 5% in 2011 up to 17% in 2012 with
11 transactions amounting together to EUR 460 million.

Investor demand is relatively strong and focused both on the prime assets as well as the
value-add opportunities. The interest in Polish assets remains viable mostly due to the
political and economic stability of the country, accompanied by the sound performance
of tenants in all sectors of the commercial property market. Moreover, the market
fundamentals and the economic forecasts are relatively positive for Poland, which should
sustain investor demand in the long run. However, due to a general scepticism caused
by the uncertainty over the economic performance of the European Union, the
investment volumes in Poland are being put under a gradual downward pressure,
particularly in the retail sector.
European investors are the most active group of purchasers in Poland. German open-
ended and close-ended funds are considerably important in this regard, being
responsible for 40% of transaction volume in 2012. A significant, 19% share has also
been registered by American investors. A visible trend is the increasing activity of
domestic buyers recording a level of 10% in 2012.

Strong investment demand in the few last years has been clearly noticeable and has had
a direct impact on yields. Moreover, it has not been subject to any downward pressure in
Q1 2013. It is estimated that since 2002 prime office yields in Warsaw gradually
declined from 10% to the level of 5.40% - 5.50% in the end of 2007, when the
observed compression stopped. Since 2008 yields began to grow, especially in the office
sector. The global financial crisis resulted in a shortage of money supply and the
increase in interest rates which were the reasons for the yield decompression in all CEE
countries.
In Q1 2013 prime office yields in Warsaw were estimated at circa 6.25% for the best
performing buildings. With the limited evidence of office investment transactions outside
of Warsaw, the prime office yields in regional cities are estimated at around 7.3% for the
best schemes. It is expected that the gap between prime and secondary yields will
increase through to the end of 2013.
PROPERTY REPORT 74

Prime schemes in Poland are still considered as very desirable by investors and their
availability remains limited. What is more, some investors have already started indicating
interest for value-added opportunities in prime office locations in order to pro-actively
prepare for the anticipated increasing vacancy.

Aggregate completions of office space are expected to increase sharply in 2013-14,


although they will remain below the pre-recession peak. This will be driven by a
significant upturn in development in a few cities, namely London and Paris in Western
Europe and St Petersburg, Moscow and Warsaw in CEE. Significantly, this will add the
first major wave new speculative office buildings to the market since the downturn, as
some large schemes were started when confidence was on a higher level in 2010-2011.
However, outside the non-core cities development will remain low and heavily
dependent upon pre-lets.
A strong investment demand in Poland is particularly focused on Warsaw locations, yet
investors are said to be more selective due to the development pipeline and anticipated
pressure on rents and vacancy rate increases. It is worth indicating that there are on-
going office transactions, which were committed to in 2012 and are expected to be
closed by the end of 2013. New office opportunities are to be delivered to the market
during the course of 2013, both in Warsaw and the regional cities. In addition to the
strong demand for prime assets, with yields softening in the non-prime zones and for
secondary quality assets, opportunities are increasing in the value-add segment of the
office market.
PROPERTY REPORT 75

Alongside France, Germany and the UK, the Polish market is still a preferred destination
for numerous investors. German funds, investors from the USA and France, as well as
local entities, are active here. Even so, 2013 poses other challenges to investors due to
the turbulence in the Eurozone. For instance, average transaction closure periods have
become more protracted, with restricted bank policies in terms of access to credit lines,
revealing the relatively high risk aversion of investors.

Opinion of Valuation Yields


Below we present investment transactions of comparable office buildings in Warsaw in
2012 – 2013:
 Marynarska Business Park – “A” class office buildings of 43,000 sq m lettable space
located on Marynarska St. Transaction concluded in Q4 2012 by Heitman (buyer)
for the price of approximately 116 million Euros at an initial yield of below 8.5%.
 LOT HQ – “B+” class office building of 11,000 sq m lettable space located on 17
Stycznia St. Transaction concluded in Q2 2012 by PZU (buyer) for the price of
approximately 25 million Euros at an initial yield of ca. 8%.
 New City– “A” class office building of 44,000 sq m lettable space located on
Marynarska St. Transaction concluded in Q1 2013 by Hines (buyer) for the price of
approximately 127 million Euros at an initial yield of ca. 7.75%.
Comparable office buildings which are currently for sale in Mokotów and Ursynów
district are being negotiated at the level of between 7.75% and 9%.
Having regard to the comparable evidence presented above and taking into account the
quality of the property, as well as the current situation on the property market, we have
adopted a yield of 7.75% in the calculation of the Market Value.

Land Market
After a significant decrease of land values since late 2008 and a fall in demand,
currently there is a positive influence on the market brought about by decreased
construction costs, increasing investment activity and availability of finance.
Demand is focused on prime sites designated for small and mid size projects, mainly
driven by the high level of equity required , in comparison to previous years,
The key market features that affect land values are as follows:
 location – distance to city centres, presence of green areas and access to services
(shops, schools, kindergartens);
 car and public transport access;
 surroundings – quality and character of neighbouring developments;
 planning situation (if the site benefits from a valid Outline Building Permit, Master
Plan or Building Permit);
 density of potential development – the larger the building that can be developed on
the site the higher the value;
PROPERTY REPORT 76

 size and shape of the site – prices for large sites are usually lower than for smaller
sites;
 access to infrastructure (water, central heating, electricity and sewerage);
 tenure – sites held on a perpetual usufruct basis are usually cheaper than these hold
on freehold basis due to the fact that annual RPU fees can be substantial and
influence total development costs.
Usually the strongest impact on land values is the location and presence of planning
permits. The factor which has the weakest impact is title to the land (freehold/perpetual
usufruct).
Due to the size of the subject property and lower supply and demand for such sites we
decided to analyse Notarial Deeds of sites located not only in Wilanow District but
generally in Warsaw.
Below we present selected sales transactions concluded between 2011 and 2013 for
