Executive Summary
Economy
While the average GDP growth across the ASEAN countries slowed to 4,8% from 6.9%, the
Philippine economy manageably grew at 3.7% last year. Despite the fact that government spending
on infrastructure was belatedly pushed last year, and while fishing production and exports have
consistently declined, the resilient performance in the services sector, and the strong consumer
spending, compensated for last year’s sluggish growth. Outlook by most multilateral institution on
the Philippine economy is to grow 3.5% to 4.0% this year.
Office
Office space options are currently narrow across Metro Manila mainly due to the strong demand
coming from the O&O industry. At present, IT-related and BPO firms, with immediate, sizeable
requirements, have alternatively resorted to plug & play options either for normal operations or
as an incubation space. In 1Q 2012, the vacancy rate in the Makati CBD grew slightly by 0.3% to
4.43%, yet remained within the sub-4% level over the last two quarters. The increase in vacancy
is mainly attributed to Grade B offices which grew by around 1.02% to 4.83% breaching the 3%
level of last year.
residential
market indicators In Metro Manila, supply remains considerably high across condominiums with some 33,000 units
completed and over 50,000 units launched last year. Completion grew by over 48% annually
OFFICE while some 40,000 units more are expected towards the end of 2013. Premium vacancy rate
in Makati consistently evened out at the sub-6% level since the second quarter of last year.
RESIDENTIAL Meanwhile, three-bedroom rental rates went up in the first quarter by over 4% to an average of
P660 per sq m.
rETAIL
retail
At present, there is about 5.2 million sq m of leasable retail space, 2.11% higher than in the fourth
quarter of last year. Vacancy rates, in both super-regional and regional malls across Metro Manila
slightly increased by .07% yet occupancy rates remain at the 99% level. In an aim to further
increase foot traffic and slacken competition, major mall developers are currently turning away
from the traditional mall configuration, and are presently geared towards improving the shopping
experience through the integration of new technologies, attractions and natural parks.

ECONOMY
While the average GDP growth across the ASEAN countries slowed to 4,8% from 6.9%, the Philippine economy manageably grew at 3.7% last
year. Though at a meagre growth rate, the country was able to withstand the weak global demand derived from external economic tribulations.
Despite the fact that government spending on infrastructure was belatedly pushed last year, and while fishing production and exports have
consistently declined, the resilient performance in the services sector, and the strong consumer spending, compensated for last year’s sluggish
growth. Specifically, services under the Real Estate sub-sector grew annually by 17.0%, while Renting and Other Business Activities increased
by 9.6%. Last year, the services sector contributed more than 40% of the country’s gross national income which reached over P7.7 trillion
(+2.6%). Meanwhile, consumer spending increased by 6.1% in 4Q 2011. OFW remittances which posted over US$20.1 billion are expected to
continually bolster consumption. The same increased over a billion in the last two years. Furthermore, inflation rate further contracted to 2.7%
pushing lending rates at its lowest regime from 5%-8%. Outlook by most multilateral institution on the Philippine economy is to grow 3.5% to
4.0% this year.

LAND VALUES
As of 1Q 2012, implied land values in the Makati CBD appreciated by 2.26% to an average of P284,130 per sq m. This is expected to increase
by 6% in the next twelve months and may reach P300,000 per sq m, higher than its historic peak in early 2009. In Ortigas Center, land values
grew by 1.5% to P130,783 per sq m and are expected to grow by 4% by the end of the first quarter next year. The highest growth was registered
in Fort Bonfiacio at 28% year-on-year (YoY) driven by the continuous interest in developable land and properties. Currently, it is pegged at
P189,000 per sq m and is projected to grow by 17% over the next twelve months.

LICENSES TO SELL
Overall residential licenses issued by the HLURB contracted for the third consecutive year. Last year, about 164,487 licenses were registered,
13% lower than in 2010. The socialised and economic housing segments consistently dropped by 32 and 30% to 35,682 and 45,207 units,
respectively. On a lesser magnitude, issuances on mid-income housing numbered 32,300 units, slightly down by -0.7%.
Meanwhile, across the high-rise residential sector, licences continually increased to about 51,298 units, a growth of over 30% compared to
2010. While developers continue to favour high-density projects, the presence of Grade B condominiums continues to augment the number
of issued licenses. In 2011, over 50,000 units were launched in Metro Manila. This gives a major indication that licenses in this segment may
continue to rise over the remainder of the year. As of February of this year, some of the projects which recently obtained licenses are The
Chelsea Residences (704 units) in Alabang, Sorrento Oasis (690 units) in Pasig, 8 Adriatico (922 units) and One Archers Place (655 units)
in Manila.

OFFICE SECTOR
Supply
Office space options are currently narrow across Metro Manila mainly due to the strong demand coming from the O&O industry. Consequently,
developers continue to catch up by bringing in roughly over 1.2 million sq m of new office space in the span of two years. At present, IT-related
and BPO firms, with immediate, sizeable requirements, have alternatively resorted to plug & play options either for normal operations or as an
incubation space. Furthermore, based on inquiries recently received by Colliers, several interests in areas outside Metro Manila consistently
surface. These particularly include Cebu, Davao and Ilo-ilo which subsequently are key expansion sites among major developers.
Meanwhile in the Makati CBD, supply remains limited. Delayed for completion by over a quarter, Zuelling Building (57,000 sq m), the only office
due for delivery in the Makati CBD this year, is set to be operational in the next couple of months. Alphaland Makati Tower (38,400 sq m), and
the Glorietta 1 and 2 BPO buildings (27,800 sq m each) are the only new office spaces to become available in 2013. Furthermore, all over Metro
Manila, supply stock in net usable space increased marginally in 1Q 2012 to 5.8 million sq m. This includes Science Hub 2 (19,000 sq m) in
McKinley Hill and the SM Megamall Car Park Extension (13,000 sq m) in Mandaluyong. Techno Plaza Two (35,800 sq m) and A Place, previously
named One Coral Way, (7,500 sq m), are expected to be available in the early part of the second quarter.

OFFICE SECTOR
Demand
In 1Q 2012, the vacancy rate in the Makati CBD grew slightly by 0.3% to 4.43%, yet remained within the sub-4% level over the last two quarters.
The increase is mainly attributed to Grade B offices which grew by around 1.02% to 4.83% ̶ breaching the 3% level of last year. On the other
hand, vacancies contracted across the Premium and Grade A segments, down by 2.14% and 0.52% to 3.38% and 3.63%, respectively. Take-up
rates are expected to drop this year by 26% to 27,800 sq m, mainly attributed to the limited office space and a negligible increase in supply.

Rents
Premium rental rates in the Makati CBD consistently increased quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) by 2.8% to about P875 per sq m on average. This is
projected to grow by 6% over the next twelve months and will exceed the P900 per sq m level last seen in early 2007. Meanwhile, both Grade
A and B rents grew marginally by 0.22 and 0.42% to P698 per sq m and P483 per sq m, respectively. Running at an average of P720 per sq
m, Grade A rental rates in Bonifacio Global City have continuously surpassed that of Makati since 2Q 2011. While most firms remain wedded to
Makati mainly due to familiarity and brand, Grade A rents are expected to grow by 7.5% in 1Q 2013 and will eventually level off to that of BGC at
P750 per sq m.

Supply
In Metro Manila, supply remains considerably high across condominiums with some 33,000 units completed and over 50,000 units launched last
year. Completion grew by over 48% annually while some 40,000 units more are expected towards the end of 2013. Contrary to over a decade
ago, the low lending rates, easy access to credit and affordable payment schemes, made intrinsic components for high-take up rates mainly in
the smaller-unit segment. Moreover, supply has largely been augmented by the strong presence of high density projects across the metro area,
where the primary inventory mix favours studio and one-bedroom units.
In the Makati CBD, the gap between the small unit sizes (studio and one-bedroom) and the large unit sizes (two-bedroom and above) started to
widen in 2002 and is expected to grow continuously over the next three years. With the 15,500-unit stock at present, the majority or roughly
60% belongs to the 30 to 60 sq m range as against 40% in the 70 to 230 sq m range. Consequently, stock is still expected to grow annually by
15% in the span of two years driven by projects in the Grade A and B sectors. Meanwhile, some of the condominiums that have started turning
over are Eton Residences Greenbelt (302 units), Eton Parkview Greenbelt (236 units), and One Pacific Place (240 units).

Demand
In Makati, landed property remains the preferred lease option in the expatriate market. However, due to the narrow options across exclusive
villages, demand alternatively settles on premium condominiums. Despite this, the lack of larger units has consistently evened out premium
vacancies at the sub-6% level since the second quarter of last year. On the other hand, vacancy across other grades continues to increase by
slightly over 2% quarterly and is currently at 12.4%. Specifically, Grade A vacancy rose by 2% to 10.44% in 1Q 2012. Meanwhile, at 14.62%,
vacancy in Grade B condominiums remains the highest across all segments.

Rents
Luxury three-bedroom rental rates in both the Makati CBD and Bonfiacio Global City went up in the first quarter by over 4% to an average of
P660 per sq m and P685 per sq m, respectively. The gap between the rental rates of the two districts is expected to narrow over the next twelve
months as the completion of Raffles Residences in Makati may cause upward pressure on the average premium rates. In particular, this brings
a projected annual growth of over 8%, higher than the 6% in Bonfiacio Global City; this will level out at the P710 to P715 per sq m range. In
Rockwell Center, rates grew modestly at 1.30% to an average of P780 per sq m and will breach the P800 per sq m mark by the end of this year.

RETAIL
Supply
Over the last six months, Metro Manila retail stock improved, brought about by the newly completed retail developments. At present, there is
about 5.2 million sq m of leasable retail space, 2.11% higher than in the fourth quarter of last year. Supply mainly increased across super-regional
malls by 3.67% or an additional leasable space of over 100,000 sq m driven by the completion of Lucky China Town Mall in Binondo Manila.
Meanwhile, some other developments which were completed over the last two quarters include BHS Central East Block in Fort Bonfacio which
covers 10,000 sq m and Two Shopping Center in Pasay which covers 50,000 sq m.
In an aim to further increase foot traffic and slacken competition, major mall developers are currently turning away from the traditional mall
configuration, and are presently geared towards improving the shopping experience through the integration of new technologies, attractions and
natural parks. The introduction of 3D devices in cinemas and the inclusion of pocket gardens and theme parks evidently became a major trend
especially across major entertainment districts.
These are most likely to increase as retail developers plan major facelifts and continuous retrofitting over the long haul. Filinvest’s Festival Mall
is expected to undergo a revamp which includes a new wing of about 50% of its leasable area. Besides the new open spaces, the mall will utilise
its existing creek as a major waterway attraction. At a separate location, the company’s seafront SRP in Cebu will similarly use its beachside
ambiance as the retail’s water feature. Likewise, SM Baguio is also set for an upgrade. Apart from an additional space of some 76,000 sq m, it
is geared to obtain LEED certification followed by its integration of new open-air retail spaces, roof gardens, and landscapes of native plant
materials. Meanwhile, Ayala Land is continually banking on its cultural districts emphasized by its upcoming retail development at the Santa Ana
racetrack property.
Besides the on-site upgrades and improvements, expansion plans remains persistent across geographic reach. Robinsons Land has recently
opened its 30th mall in Calasio, Pangasinan. Besides this, the developer is also set to open Robinsons Place Palawan and Robinsons Magnolia
this year. In Bacolod, SM Prime ramps up its expansion with the SM City Bacolod annex which will offer an additional space of over 80,000 sq
m towards the end of 2014. Beyond regional level, SM Tianjin (530,000 sq m), branded as the world’s largest freestanding shopping centre, is
set to be completed by the end of 2013. Moreover, Ayala Land plans to reopen Glorietta 1 and 2 towards the third or fourth quarter of this year.
After the Abreeza Mall in Davao, the developer is also on track with its Centrio Mall (44,000 sq m), which is set to open by October.
