Lease Expiry/Break Profile

EuropeInitial estimates from Eurostat indicate that ●

GDP fell by 1.5% in the Eurozone during Q4 2008. The latest IMF forecasts suggest that Eurozone GDP will decline by a further 2.0% in 2009, before making a small recovery to growth of 0.2% in 2010.

The European Commission’s Economic ●

Sentiment Indicator (ESI) for the Eurozone fell again in January, albeit less sharply than it had during the last three months of 2008.

Germany

The German economy contracted by 2.1% ●

in Q4 2008, largely due to a sharp fall in exports. The German government has approved a €50 billion stimulus plan aimed at boosting the economy, which includes infrastructure investments and tax relief for businesses and individuals.

In PricewaterhouseCoopers’ ● Emerging Trends in Real Estate Europe survey, published in February, four German cities were ranked in the top ten investment prospects for 2009, with Munich and Hamburg in first and second place respectively. The survey attributes this to investors’ expectations that prices will hold up more strongly in Germany than elsewhere in Europe.

FranceThe vacancy rate in the Paris office market ●

started to rise in Q4 2008, increasing from 5.0% to 5.5%. However, the majority of the available supply is dated second-hand space. New or redeveloped offices remain in short supply in central Paris, which has helped to support prime rental levels.

Belgium Take-up in the Brussels office market ●

was just over 475,000 sq m in 2008, which, although the lowest level recorded since 2004, is in line with the long-term average. The overall vacancy rate reached 10.7% at the end of the year, though availability remains tight within sought-after central districts.

Poland

According to data published by the ●

Warsaw Research Forum, office take-up in the city reached over 520,000 sq m in 2008, an increase of 7% on the previous year. The majority of leasing activity took place away from the city centre, with financial and business services driving demand.

Netherlands Prime office yields in Amsterdam have ●

moved out by around 100 basis points since reaching a low of 5.25% in mid-2007. The lack of available finance has caused the withdrawal of a significant number of investors from the market. There are still local equity buyers actively looking for product, especially from distressed sellers, but as yet there has been little evidence of forced sales taking place.

Sweden

According to the recently released ●

SFI/IPD Swedish Annual Property Index, all-property total returns in the country fell to -3.3% in 2008, a substantial reduction from the return of 14.7% recorded in 2007. Swedish property outperformed equities, which returned -39.5%, but lagged behind bonds, which delivered a return of 15.7%.
