Office Market Overview
Office demand was in line with the previous quarter, with 9,545 sq. m taken up in Q1 2014. The single largest deal, accounting for 72% of the total take-up volume was signed by Amazon Liquavista, which leased 6,915 sq m in the Adjacent Centre submarket. Other than this, activity in Q1 was muted. Occupiers make the most of the current market situation and continue to successfully negotiate flexible lease terms, which comprise 10-15 months rent free on a 5+5 year lease contract in prime locations and 12-20 months rent free for the same lease length at the overall market level. Prime rents remained stable at 180 / sq m pa and are likely to remain flat going forward. Overall vacancy increased by 140bps to reach 12.9% in Q1 2014 as occupiers continue to release surplus space in the market. The municipality is making continuous efforts to reduce current vacancy levels. Expediting office conversions into other uses and a restrictive new-build policy are two key measures in that direction. The effect of these measures may however be negated to some extent as occupiers continue to consolidate, potentially increasing choice, particularly in peripheral locations. Q1 saw the completion of Solliances owner occupied space measuring 2,700 sq m in the Gestel/High Tech Campus. The development pipeline of 7,155 sq m scheduled for completion in Q4 2014 is fully pre-let. After a surge in investment activity in the previous quarter, office investment volume fell to 1.55 million in Q1. Prime yields were unchanged at 6.55%.
