DEUTSCHE ASSET & WEALTH MANAGEMENT Japan Real Estate Second Quarter 2015 | April 2015
Executive Summary
Economy: Japan’s macro economy showed positive signs after it struggled to recover
amid the consumption tax (VAT) hike in 2014. A healthy growth in corporate earnings
begets an improvement in employment and wages, and this should result in sustainable
consumption growth in coming years. On the back of the devaluation of the currency, the
stock market reached its highest level in the last fifteen years, with real asset prices
benefiting from the expansionary monetary policy.
Capital and Investment market: The real estate investment market remained very active
in the first quarter of 2015. This caused a further cap rate compression in Tokyo with
capital now flowing into Osaka and other major cities to hunt higher yielding assets. Both
J-REITs and global managers remained active in the period while the hotel and healthcare
sectors emerged as hot targets among investors.
Property markets: The leasing markets showed healthy rent recoveries in all the sectors
in Japan in the last reported quarter. Office vacancy rates made continuous improvements
in Tokyo and other major cities in Japan while a series of new supply started to cause
fluctuations in vacancy rates. The high street retail and department stores saw benefit
from an increasing number of foreign tourists, and rent made significant growths in major
submarkets. The leasing markets remained strong in the residential and industrial sectors
too with further recoveries expected in the latter half of the year.
Research Topic: In this edition, our ‘Research Topic’ analyses the implications of the
emergence of private REITs in Japan and the expected impacts to the industry, by
comparing it with other fund types and equivalent products in major markets. Momentum
is anticipated to pick up given the attractiveness of the open ended products while they
are still evolving and remain in the early phase. Japan could prove to be the frontrunner
for the products in Asia. There are some reservations to note, however, and we unfold
these points.

Macro Economy
Japan’s macro economy struggled to recover after the consumption tax (VAT) increase in
April 2014 on year-on-year basis, but it achieved positive growth on the quarter-on-quarter
basis in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the stock price rose accordingly. A healthy growth
in corporate earnings begets an improvement in employment and wages, and this should
result in sustainable consumption growth in the second quarter of 2015 and ahead.

The aggregate pretax profits of publicly traded Japanese companies are expected to have
climbed to a record high in fiscal 2014 that ended in March 2015, as large manufacturers
benefit from lean operations and devaluation of the yen. The Diffusion Index (DI) of the
Tankan Survey conducted by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) continued to edge up accordingly
from an index value of 14 in December 2014 to 16 in March 2015 while the retail and real
estate sectors saw particularly sharp gains during the period.

The Nikkei 225 index made a healthy recovery in the four months of 2015 and it recorded
JPY 20,000 in April, for the first time in the last fifteen years since March 2000. It was a
continuous recovery from the previous quarter when the Government Pension and
Investment Fund (GPIF) announced a plan to increase the stock allocation in the portfolio.
The recovery was also in line with the depreciation of the Japanese yen’s value against
the US dollar which contributed to profits at major manufacturers.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Japan’s 10-year government bond yielded around 0.4% in the first three months of 2015,
and is forecast to move upward only mildly to 0.7% in two years time. Core CPI has
rapidly moderated from 1.3% in the first quarter of 2014 to 0% in March 2015 due mainly
to a decline in energy prices, while nominal inflation1 remained at around 2% including the
impacts from the VAT hike. Core CPI is expected to converge to 1% in the second half of
2016.

Lending
Very favourable credit conditions remain in Japan. The BoJ’s Diffusion Index for lending
attitudes of banks to the real estate industry (orange line in Exhibit 5) was an index value
of 27 as of March 2015, a leap from 16 a year earlier. The lending volume to new real
estate projects increased by 20.1% in the fourth quarter of 2014 (year-on-year).

Pricing
The office appraisal cap rates in Tokyo dropped significantly by 41 basis points to reach a
preliminary 3.7% in the fourth quarter 2014, the tightest cap rate ever reflecting the strong
market. The trend is now spreading to regional cities where yield seeking investors try to
hunt assets. The average office yield spread — the difference between the cap rates and
10 year bond yields — compressed about 30 basis points accordingly in Tokyo but is still
about 100 to 150 basis points above the spreads seen in London and Manhattan
respectively.

The Daiwa Office Price Index, an indication of unit price of grade-A office in Central Tokyo,
was JPY7.3 million per tsubo2 in December 2014, an increase from JPY6.5 million a year
ago. It was an increase of 11.7% over the year but was still 36.6% below the previous
peak in 2008, reflecting a slower recovery in rents.

Transactions
Exhibit 9 shows real estate transactions completed or announced since January 2015.
The largest transaction by value was Meguro Gajoen acquired by CIC for an estimated
JPY140 billion. The highest unit prices were seen at Gran Tokyo South Tower by
Goldman Sachs at JPY3.6 million per square meter in the office sector and Wako Namikikan in Ginza by Imabari Shipbuilding at JPY3.8 million per square meter in the retail
sector. The tightest transacted cap rate was Gran Tokyo South at 2.9% (estimate)
followed by Shiodome Building purchased by Japan Real Estate REIT at 3.6%, both in
Tokyo. In Osaka, M Plaza Midosuji purchased by Mori Trust Sogo REIT was 3.8% while
Umeda Square was reported at 4.0%. On the back of the increasing number of inbound
tourists in Japan, hotel assets became a popular target for domestic and foreign investors.

Tokyo’s volume of commercial real estate transactions for the rolling 12-month period
ended March 2015 was US$37.8 billion, a 9% drop from the previous period ended
December 2014. Tokyo kept its third position among global cities (and first in the Asia
Pacific region) in commercial transaction volume. According to our own estimates 35% of
these transactions in Tokyo were purchases by J-REITs and around 23% by foreign
capital respectively. Due to growing popularity of the market among investors the volume
is expected to grow in Osaka in the next couple of quarters.

went down to the index value 1,865 in March 2015, a 1.8% drop from the previous quarter.

On average, the J-REIT dividend yield was 3.04% overall and 2.80% for office REITs in
February 2015. The J-REIT dividend yield still provides a healthy spread of 269 basis
points over the 10-year government bond yield in Japan, compared to 100-140 basis
points spreads for the UK and US REITs respectively, or 200 basis points spread for
Australian REITs.

Market Fundamentals
Office
Office space demand in Tokyo remains healthy on the back of a resilient corporate sector.
The average office vacancy rate in Tokyo’s central five wards tightened to 5.3% in
February 2015, a continuous recovery from 7.1% a year ago. Among the central five
wards the vacancy rate in Shibuya was lowest at 3.5%. The average vacancy rate at 27
newly developed buildings within 12 months since completion spiked to 29.3% in the
period, however, on the back of new developments in Minato and Chuo sub markets. The
healthy demand supply balance is expected to persist through to the latter half of the year
while the continuous new supply will slow down the recovery speed.

Historically, office rental growth rates correlate inversely to the vacancy rate. The vacancy
rate for buildings with floor plates of 200 tsubos (660 square metres) or more was 4.3% in
Tokyo in February 2015, below the pivotal 5% threshold associated with rental growth.
Accordingly, average office rental growth in this category also seems in the recovery trend
and further moderate growth is expected.

The all-class average asking rent increased 5.2%, a stronger growth rate than the
previous period of 4.6%, confirming healthy market sentiment in the leasing market. Office
rents are expected to post continuous growth in the second half of this year backed by the
healthy space demand from the corporate sector. The average rents at newly developed
offices, however, dropped 6.2% in the period due to the elevated vacancy rate and it is
expected to remain fragile throughout the year.

Vacancy rates have also continued to go down in most other major cities in Japan
including Nagoya, Fukuoka and Sapporo where vacancy rates stood around 7.5% in
February 2015, or below the long term historical average. In Osaka the trend remained
healthy but the vacancy rate temporarily edged up from 7.9% in December 2014 to 8.2%
in February 2015 due to new office supply in the Yodoyabashi sub market. There are new
building completions planned this year in Osaka and Nagoya respectively and the
vacancy rates might react sensitively to the supply in these cities.

Retail
On the back of the devaluation of the Japanese yen, the number of inbound tourists to
Japan keeps posting new records every month since the second half of 2014. Hoteliers
and major high street retailers are the two main beneficiaries of this and the latest high
street rents reflected the trend. The latest prime retail ground floor rents spiked by 29% in
Ginza, while rents recovered in other major retail districts including Omotesando, Shibuya
(both Tokyo) and Shinsaibashi in Osaka. Given the increasing popularity of low cost
carrier airlines and government’s policy of loosening tourist visa requirements, the positive
trend is expected to persist in the latter half of the year.

Similar to high street retails, sales at department stores in major cities experienced strong
momentum. Sales at department stores in Tokyo and Osaka combined went up 2.5% in
the first two months of 2015 compared to the same period a year earlier, while more
moderate growth was seen in shopping malls in Japan’s major thirteen cities. Sales at
chain stores (nationwide basis) struggled to recover in the same period.

Residential
The average sales price per unit for newly-built condos in Greater Tokyo was JPY51.9
million in the first quarter of 2015, about 15% above the historical average of JPY45
million. The number of units put up for sale has normalized from a sharp drop caused by
the consumption tax hike in 2014. The current elevated price is attributed to an increase in
land bank costs, material costs, construction labour costs, low mortgage rates together
with strong interest from foreign buyers who try to take advantage of the favourable
currency exchange rate. This trend is expected to persist throughout the year, while this
instead constrains demand in suburban areas, traditionally popular districts for first time
buyers.

Due to a series of new completions in the last six months, the vacancy rate for residential
rental units increased to 11.0% in January 2015 from 10.5% a year earlier in the 23-ward
area of Tokyo (orange line in Exhibit 24). On the back of healthy demand however, rents
have strongly recovered in the central five-ward area (dark blue column) with a 3.4%
increase as compared to a year earlier, while the growth rate in the broader 23-ward area

Industrial
Due to continuous strong space demand for modern industrial assets, the leasing market
for multi-tenant logistics remained tight in December 2014 at 3.4% vacancy in Greater
Tokyo and 2.5% in Greater Osaka. Strong fundamentals pushed average logistics rents
up by 2.8% in Greater Tokyo and as much as 8.7% in Greater Osaka from a year earlier.
An increase in vacancy rates is expected in both markets in the final quarter of 2015 and
2016 as a number of large scale assets are planned to complete while rents are forecast
to remain firm on the back of demand from tenants to move to quality space.

Research Topic: Emergence of Private REITs in
Japan and Implications to the market
Private REIT in Japan
It was in 2010 when the first private REIT, or open ended commingled fund 3 , was
launched in Japan. Currently, thirteen private REITs have been raised in the country to
date. The key characteristics are similar to US open-ended funds or to a lesser degree the
German open-ended funds although it is still not as established in terms of size and
liquidity. The main benefits and characteristics of the product are as follow:

Does not have a limited fund life. Managers don’t have the pressure to sell the
assets at fund maturity.

Allows redemptions subject to conditions, so investors can partially mitigate the
exit risk4 compared to conventional closed end commingled funds.

Is priced based on periodic appraisal values and therefore investors are not
exposed to stock market volatility.

Dividend yields are lower than closed ended funds but loan-to-value is low at
around 30-40% therefore fitting well with a core investment strategy.
In this chapter we analyze the implications of this new product to the industry, by
comparing it with other fund types and equivalent products in major markets. The table
below reveals that apart from size and redemption limitations most characteristics are
similar to the US open ended funds including the latest yields.

Private REIT and open ended fund are used as mutually interchangeable words in Japan.
Due to the limited size of the funds, there are strict conditions for redemptions and therefore, exit risks
can be mitigated only partially. e.g. Initial lockup periods tend to be multiple years. Some funds set the
limitation on redemption at 2.5% of the total interests for every six month. Higher redemption charges
apply for short term holdings.

Since the initial launch of the product in 2010, the Japanese private REITs have become
popular among domestic investors, especially among local financial institutions, such as
regional banks5, and also some pension funds which need to enhance yields but want to
avoid exit risks or volatility of listed vehicles. This is particularly so against the backdrop of
the low yielding Japanese government bond, currently hovering at around 0.4%.
Private REITs in Japan have grown to over JPY1 trillion of assets under management as
of April 2015. There are currently thirteen private REITs in Japan with another five private
REITs planned to launch by 2017, according to Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Research Institute
(SMTRI). Many of the sponsors of these private REITs6 are large local developers, such
as Mitsubishi Estate or Mitsui Fudosan, who also sponsor the listed REITs. Meanwhile,
Goldman Sachs was the first non-Japanese company to enter the private REIT space in
August 2012. SMTRI estimated that private REITs would top JPY2.5 trillion by the end of
2018 underpinned by a number of announced private REITs as well as capital increases
among existing private REITs (exhibit 28).

Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models or analysis which may
prove to be incorrect
In contrast to the emergence of private REITs, closed-ended commingled funds have
become less popular amongst the local investors. Total AUM of closed-ended
commingled funds declined from JPY17.7 trillion in June 2009 to JPY15.5 trillion in June
2014 according to SMTRI. A series of defaults were observed following the Global
Financial Crisis and investors tended to require some liquidity in products.
5
Dividends from private REITs could be considered as profits in the income statements of these regional
banks and it is one of the reasons for popularity.
6
REIT sponsorship is a unique model in Japan. Both listed REITs and unlisted private REITs tend to be
managed by subsidiaries of local developers or sponsors. These REITs tend to have pipeline contracts for
asset purchases with the sponsoring developers.

Invested stock in global comparison
The value of stock in Japanese commercial real estate markets amounted to US$1.1
trillion in 2014 according to DTZ, and the holdings of REITs and funds combined
accounted for 20%, or less than a quarter of the invested stock. Within this, the holdings
of private REITs amount to only 1% even after the recent rapid growth. The remaining
stock in Japan is held by dominant local developers and other firms, such as railway
companies and private firms. Given the size of the real estate market, it is perhaps part of
the reason that the Japanese real estate market is sometimes perceived as not as
institutionalized as compared to other mature markets like the United States and Germany
where the combined REIT and fund holdings, including open ended fund holdings,
account for 42% and 27% respectively.
The aggregate holdings of Japanese private REITs is only one sixteenth of the stock held
by US ODCE funds7, or one twelfth of the size of German open ended funds, including the
assets owned outside of Germany. On the back of the attractive characteristics of the
product and the ongoing institutionalization process taking place in the market in Japan,
private REITs have a lot of potential for further growth.

Global Real Estate Ownership
Exhibit 30 shows the ownership of real estate invested stock by listed REITs, open ended
funds (private REITs) and listed developers / real estate companies globally. Apart from
the United Kingdom, real estate ownership remains fragmented and each market is
unique depending on its history, regulatory frameworks and business practises. For
instance, listed developers tend to dominate the market in Asian countries including Hong
Kong, Singapore and to a lesser degree Japan, while REITs play a major role in some
English speaking countries such as Canada, the United States and Australia. Japan
seems to be experiencing the process of institutionalization and transformation from the
Asian model into a more western model where growth of private REIT will be the catalyst
of this transition.

Yield of private real estate in each country
The regulatory framework and standard format of open ended funds (or private REITs)
vary among the market and each country has its own uniqueness, such as lock up period,
limitation of redemption, requirement for cash holdings, LTV limits, investor universe etc8.
The historical yield tends to be more attractive in the United States and Japan at around
5% on average or above, while it tends to be lower in Germany where funds are required
to hold higher cash position to meet redemption requests, and in the United Kingdom real
estate yields remain generally low as a result of the dominant London market where cap
rates are tight.

Considerations
Following the launch of the first two J-REITs 13 years ago, the REIT market had grown
significantly and the aggregate asset size held by listed J-REITs amounted to US$100
billion as of the end of 2014. Private REITs in Japan are expected to follow in a similar
trajectory. Coinciding with a low cost of debt suggests that there is plenty of room for
further growth in the private REIT market.
Across the Asia Pacific region, open-ended products are still evolving and remain in the
early phase of a growth cycle. Momentum is anticipated to pick up given the significant
demand for real estate in the region as the attractiveness of open ended products begins
to gather wider recognition especially among western investors. However, given the
limited offerings in the region, Japan could prove to be the frontrunner for open ended
products in Asia.
The risk adjusted returns seem to fit well for the core investor and the product should
contribute to institutionalization of the Japanese real estate market. There are some
reservations, however, as follow:
10

There tends to be strict rules for redemption (see footnote 5). Exit risk still
remains - especially at the time of a down turn cycle.

There is a potential conflict of interest with the sponsor for asset transfer prices
where valuation/appraisal is key10.

There is a potential conflict of interest when sponsors manage multiple funds,
such as listed REITs and/or other funds and vehicles. The requirement for
tighter governance has increased.

There is no index dedicated to private REITs or open ended funds in Japan.
Direct real estate indices and private fund indices exist, but are still less
established and not widely used.

Fund sizes are relatively small and can’t accommodate investment interests
from large investors, such as public pensions.

Region-wide products are not yet common in Asia Pacific. Japan private REITs
currently only cover Japan and only Japanese investors, and they don’t provide
solutions for international investors.
This is the same concern listed J-REITs have with the sponsors. This practice is common in the local
market, and also in some Asian markets in the region, such as Singapore.
