FOREWORD 5 Room for growth – values for the future Dear Readers, For many years now, Hannover has been one of the key locations on the German property map. The region’s dependability and its robust figures have earned it "1st place in the 2nd row”, behind the seven major A-locations in Germany. From office to retail, from logistics to residential – national and international players in the property business have got Hannover high on their agendas. The Regional Property Market Report confirms this development. First published in 2003, the report has helped establish a high degree of transparency. Regional business development promotion experts working in co-operation with partners from the property sector have compiled and comprehensively prepared key metrics on all relevant sub-markets across the Region for more than a decade. This, the 12th issue, was prepared jointly with 18 partners. Regional business promotion experts ensure that the high standards of the Gesellschaft für immobilienwirtschaftliche Forschung (gif) (property industry research corporation) are observed: the well-known consulting firm bulwiengesa AG examines and supplements the findings. Market players in Hannover contribute to this report by way of their committed engagement. Hannover Region offers room for growth, room to sustainably develop and secure values for the future. The faith of all market players in robust figures provides one of the best platforms for good business.

The transition from an industrial to a science economy with a core, stable industrial production sustainably underpins the growth of the regional property market in all sub-areas. More jobs thanks to science and innovative companies The stable and positive development of Germany’s economy is driving production, consumption and employment. The number of employees paying national insurance has risen by around 32,000 during the last five years in Hannover Region to around 458,000. All sub-markets of the regional property market have benefited from this development. Office market: The number of people employed in offices is estimated to have risen by 11,000 during the last five years. The rise in demand was noticed in the office property market above all in 2011 and 2012.

In the neighbouring Science and Technology Park Hannover, in Hannover’s Marienwerder district, new plots are already available for companies working in the engineering sector. The approx. 20 hectare former industrial brown-field site is situated just 2 km south of the new mechanical engineering campus. Other non-university research institutes and regional research companies are focusing their activities on the new campus: as an example, the Test Centre for Load-bearing Structures is currently under construction between the motorway and the Mittelland canal.

OFFICE PROPERTY MARKET 17 Dependable size, clear prospects Hannover’s office property market offers robust dependability: during 2013, 105,000 m² was turned over. Although turn-over was significantly below the excellent results of the previous year, it is nonetheless still at the annual average for the previous 10 years. The office property market has remained at a satisfactory Robust annual balance total despite market weakness level despite a drop in turnover during 2013. 105,000 m² was Weak turnover figures for 2013 did not affect Hannover alone; turned over during the 12 months of 2013 in Hannover and the other top national property markets suffered a similar fate: neighbouring cities of Garbsen, Laatzen and Langenhagen. in Hamburg office space turnover was approx. 10 % below the Total turnovers are well below the excellent figures for 2012 10 year average, in Munich and Frankfurt turnovers also fell by (150,000 m²) but are nonetheless only slightly less than the some 10 % year-on-year.

The year ending figures for the property market finished on an Core sector turnovers up unsurprising but solid level. The core areas for the office property market are formed by the city, city periphery and major arterial roads – in this zone some 5,000 m² more office space was turned over than in 2012. Demand was above all for areas in Hannover city centre: in that area alone new contracts were closed for approx. 35,000 m². Turnover of office space actually climbed year-on-year by 45 % (plus 11,000 m²). On the city centre periphery and on the major arterial roads, Podbielskistraße, Hildesheimer Straße and Vahrenwalder Straße, only slightly more 44,000 m² office space attracted new tenants or purchasers. This is a minor drop of 12 % compared with 2012 (minus 6,000 m²). Office centres experience drop in turnover The losers in terms of turnover during 2013 were office centres in the city and surrounding areas. Market players reported in part large, extensive lease extensions (which are not covered in the statistics) but significantly fewer new tenancy contracts or purchased or constructed office properties for own use.

The market in Hannover endows these buildings with the required high quality which in good locations can be let on long-term agreements to strong, creditworthy tenants. Hannover is benefiting from the global pressure on finding investments experienced world-wide, which is pushing more investors into B-cities. In addition to trade properties, office properties are currently in high demand amongst investors and promise a solid investment basis.

Completions in past and coming years and the continuing low vacancy rates confirm this impression. Important new construction projects in the finance and insurance sector Owner occupiers are also characteristic of the Hannover office property market. The highest demand is for office properties for the finance and insurance industries and the public sector. In the city centre, project developments are currently under way in the Osterstraße, for which the primary tenant is Deutsche Hypo (13,200 m² office, 1,200 m² retail) and the Quantum Immobilien AG project for accounting firm Deloitte (10,500 m²) on Aegidientorplatz, both nearing completion. The largest project for an owner-occupier is the new build completed for the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Braunschweig-Hannover in Laatzen (18,500 m²). Another arrival is the new build of the Mecklenburgischen Versicherungen a.G. on the Karl-Wiechert-Allee (5,600 m², of which 1,600 m² available for let). The VGH Versicherungen group is developing an office project for approx. 7,000 m² rental space on the Prinzenstraße by The Hamburger investment firm Quantum is constructing a new block on the Aegidientorplatz featuring light engineered stone and glass. Primary tenant from early 2015 is the accounting firm Deloitte. The office tower will create a city-scape accent at Aegidientorplatz in the centre of Hannover. The new build is a design of Hannover architects BKSP, and is of similar height to the post-war Nord/LB building diagonally opposite. 20 OFFICE PROPERTY MARKET Unadorned, clear lines: this new building will provide around 2,100 m² offices and retail space in the immediate vicinity of the future Mechanical Engineering Campus of Leibniz University Hannover.

Excellent start 2014, good prospects for turnover and peak rents Players in the Hannover market anticipate that turnovers in 2014 will climb significantly year-on-year. Demand has risen: office space turnover in the first six months 2014 has already reached approximately 60,000 m² (of which 40,000 m² for let). Over the long term, peak rents, which are relatively low in Hannover in the opinion of market players, are expected to continue upwards.

On average prices in Hannover city for existing detached single family dwellings rose by 5.5 %, for terraced houses and semi-detached houses by 6.4 %.13 The residential property market details are determined by bulwiengesa AG on the basis of empirical surveys. This involves surveying estate agents, evaluation boards, banks and business promotion organisations, evaluating newspaper articles, as well as assessing all publicly accessible information concerning the property market. These include the price comparison index from the real estate associations, saving banks and some regional and supra-regional estate agents. The values are then cross-checked in Hannover at a workshop in the presence of the relevant market players. Evaluation then takes place within the context of the overall development of the market and taking into consideration the econometric model calculations. Figures are first summarised in a schematic diagram and cross-checked to determine their plausibility. Bulwiengesa AG does this by referring to a large number of building-related data in its own RIWIS database. Finally, all the findings on the given values are concentrated. The rental and purchase prices for owner-occupied apartments refer to first occupation (new build and rehabilitation) and resale/re-let in €/m² living space and refer to the ideal/typical apartment having three rooms and approx. 65 – 95 m² living space and standard fixtures and fittings in good to very good location. Because the fixtures and fittings and size are standardised, the rental and purchase price range basically represents a variation bandwidth influenced by location and micro area. The prices stated are nominal values. Rental and purchase prices are quoted without ancillary costs and do not reflect any subsidies. The peak values refer to the top 3 – 5 % of the market, from which an average is formed. These prices do not refer to the absolute top purchase price which is defined by exceptions. Rental and purchase price figures given here are the average values reflecting a typical or usual level – they should not be seen as a strict arithmetic average, mode (most frequent value) or median (central) value in a mathematical sense. The peak price segment figures shown here are the prices which can only be achieved in Hannover in buildings with above average fixtures and fittings in very good locations and which have already been achieved in Hannover in 2014 according to players in the Hannover market. 12 13 Individual residential ownership and joint ownership Expert real estate panel, property market report 2014 Notes on methodology: the development of purchase prices is determined separately for the State Capital and the remaining Hannover Region. The different aspects of individual purchase cases (e.g. size, price, location, fixtures and fittings) are determined and adjusted by conversion coefficients, additions and deductions for a standardised building. The price development as estimated by the expert panel refers to a standardised existing building. New builds are not taken into account because of the low numbers involved and are only input into the overall figures for contracts and monetary turnover. 60 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MARKET Selected residential projects* No. Project name No. of units Developer/investor Finalisation/completed 1 Mosaik Eilenriede, Zooviertel 174 formart GmbH & Co.
