ASIA PACIFIC OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW | JANUARY | 2010
CONTENTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
REGIONAL OVERVIEW
Thanks to the sustained low-interest rate environment and a number of economic stimulus
packages introduced by various governments, the region showed further signs of improvement
on the economic front during 4Q2009. Hiring expectations were increasingly positive as
more companies in the private sector started replenishing their workforce in anticipation
of stronger economic performance in 2010. Market sentiment remained buoyant since
market players, in particular vendors and investors, were encouraged by the price rise in
stock markets and a number of asset classes, including office real estate. Office capital
values rose in individual centres during 4Q2009 but rentals were yet to show a similar
growth pattern.
Mixed Leasing Trends Although there was an increase in the level of both enquiries and transactional volume
during 4Q2009, leasing trends in the region remained mixed. Despite the prevailing positive
market sentiment and the reported growth in hiring expectations in individual companies,
office occupiers remained largely cautious about any significant capital expenditure.
Although there was demand attributed to office consolidation and relocations, the pace of
growth in expansionary floor area requirements was yet to catch up with the sales market.
In addition, the supply cycle in 2010 continued to challenge the rental performance of
individual centres where demand fundamentals were relatively fragile.
Overall, the leasing market in the region took another step closer to its cyclical trough.
Thanks to the strong rental performance in a few centres, such as Hong Kong and Chengdu,
where the supply of new development remained tight, the pace of rental decline narrowed
further to less than 1% quarter-on-quarter in 4Q2009.
Sales Market Similar to the situation in 3Q2009, overall sales activity picked up additional momentum in
4Q2009, with private investors with a strong equity position continuing to be the key group
of buyers in the marketplace. In Beijing, there was a change in buyers’ profiles from state-
owned-enterprises to local listed developers and real estate investors. For example, Beijing
Huarong Infrastructure Investment Co. acquired an 87.5% stake in Beijing Capital Times
Square for a total consideration of RMB2,708 million (US$397 million). In Shanghai, a
range of domestic investors were keen to acquire office premises for their own occupation.
Elsewhere in Australasia, Sydney saw the return of core investment funds during 4Q2009,
with a major sales transaction being the sale of Aurora Place to the Korean National Pension
Fund for a total of AU$685 million (US$614 million).
Market Outlook Looking ahead, the office leasing market in the region is predicted to move further along
its recovery track during 2010. The prevailing supply cycle in some centres will put a
damper on any material rental growth over the near term. However, in anticipation of
the catch-up of occupational demand in tandem with overall economic growth, average
rentals in the region should return to positive growth in the latter part of 2010. On the
sales front, market activity should continue to be underpinned by growing occupational
demand and, importantly, the sustained buying interest of a number of private investors.
In addition, the return of long-term real estate funds to the marketplace is reckoned to be
a good endorsement for the overall market in 2010.

• Shanghai’s Grade A office market stabilised in 4Q2009 in line with the recovery of the
domestic economy. Although net take-up eased back, due partly to the traditionally slow
