Asia Leads in Most Expensive Global Office Markets.

Shangai Sky Line

Based on CBRE's semi-annual Global Prime Office Occupancy Costs survey, Asia continued to dominate the world's most expensive office locations, accounting for four of the top five markets. London's West End remains the world's highest-priced office market.

London's West End's overall prime occupancy costs topped the 'most expensive' list at US$267 per sq. ft. per year. Hong Kong (Central) followed in second place at US$254 per sq. ft. per year, which is the only market in the world--other than London's West End--with a prime occupancy cost exceeding US$200 per sq. ft.

Beijing (Finance Street) (US$196 per sq. ft.), Beijing (Central Business District (CBD)) (US$188 per sq. ft.) and New Delhi (Connaught Place -CBD) (US$157 per sq. ft.) rounded out the top five.

The change in prime office occupancy costs mirrored the gradual recovery of the global economy. Overall global prime office occupancy costs rose 2% year-over-year, with Asia Pacific up 1.4%, reflecting the economic pressures that prevailed in the region over the past year.

 "Occupier caution has declined and corporate confidence has been on the rise, and this confidence is starting to translate into a degree of expansionary momentum, " said Richard Barkham, Global Chief Economist, CBRE. "At the same time, many office markets are increasingly short of the quality, modern, flexible and highly accessible or CBD-located office buildings which corporations are seeking to execute workplace strategies that will drive productivity and attract or retain talent."

Henry Chin, Head of Research, CBRE Asia Pacific, comments, "in the Asia Pacific region, occupancy cost trends were mixed, with regional surveys showing stronger hiring intentions among employers in India, Taiwan, New Zealand, the Philippines and Japan while corporate hiring activity remained muted in other locations. India and the Philippines also continued to benefit from growing IT back office services looking for operational and costs efficiency. Throughout Asia, technology firms, business process outsourcing (BPO) firms and non-banking financial institutions are in expansionary mode, stimulating demand for office space. However, we are also seeing diverse occupier activity in the region with less expansionary markets--some occupiers are looking to optimize existing accommodations rather than expand."

Lower U.S. Mortgage Rates in July

U.S. Mortgage Rates Dip in Late July Source:  World Property Journal | By WPJ Staff | July 24, 2015 9:43 AM ET According to Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey for mid-July, fixed mortgage rates in the U.S. reversed course once again and moving lower amid mixed economic and housing data. Sean Becketti, chief economist at Freddie Mac says, "U.S. Treasury yields dropped following announcements that many blue chip companies' earnings failed to meet expectations. This drove the 30-year fixed rate mortgage down 5 basis points to 4.04 percent this week. Housing continues to be the bright spot in the economic recovery. Existing home sales beat market expectations coming in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.49 million homes. This is up 9.6 percent from a year ago and the fastest pace since 2007. Also, housing starts jumped 9.8 percent responding to strong demand in the multifamily market." Freddie Mac News Facts 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 4.04 percent with an average 0.6 point for the week ending July 23, 2015, down from last week when it averaged 4.09 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 4.13 percent. 15-year FRM this week averaged 3.21 percent with an average 0.6 point, down from last week when it averaged 3.25 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 3.26 percent. 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 2.97 percent this week with an average 0.5 point, up from last week when it averaged 2.96 percent.

U.S. Commerical Real Estate Sector Outlook: Strongest Globally

Press Release: By NAI Global NAI Global Market Outlook Focuses on Growth of US Commercial Real Estate Market Sam Zell and Peter Linneman Address 550+ Industry Leaders New York, NY – June 19, 2015 –The outlook for the commercial real estate market appears stronger in the US than the rest of the world. That was the shared consensus between Sam Zell, Chairman of Equity Group International and Dr. Peter Linneman, NAI Global Chief Economist. The two renowned real estate experts were featured on a panel discussion in Chicago this week at the annual NAI Global Market Outlook. Over 550 individuals from NAI Global Member firms and their clients attended the event. “Sam Zell is a legendary industry visionary, and we are honored that he was able to participate in our Global Market Outlook,” said Jay Olshonsky, President of NAI Global, who moderated the discussion. “We are proud to offer our Members and their clients access to this level of industry insight.” The presentation looked at factors driving the commercial real estate market, including significant availability of capital, geopolitical unease, interest rates, demographic changes and overall demand for space. Linneman anticipates three to four more years of growth.  He noted that debt capital is flowing, and demand for space is up with supply picking up but still lagging. Zell’s outlook was less optimistic, although he did acknowledge the state of the market is better than it was earlier in the economic recovery. Zell stated that he doesn’t “remember a period when there were so many black swans,” citing geopolitical events in the Middle East and Ukraine that could affect the global economy. Technology has been the biggest driver of growth in the office sector. “Technology businesses are thriving on the availability of capital,” said Zell. Both Linneman and Zell wonder if a decreased demand for space in the technology sector would tip the US real estate markets. Zell pointed to other aspects of technology that could have on the commercial real estate market overall, including increased applications of Artificial Intelligence, which he said “is moving not slowly but exponentially” and that the impact is yet undetermined. International investing in the US commercial real estate market is happening but Zell believes it is dramatically less than recent headlines would suggest, and that the market is not being driven by foreign capital. He said that it is playing a role in the US, but it has done that since the country was founded. He said the US needs to go back to a focus on growth and for years the country had a perpetual growth rate.
