MARKET REPORT - RED PROPERTY ADVISERS Issue III 2014 - Copenhagen The iconic brewery "Trekroner" is now in the market as a modern office building EXECUTIVE SUMMARY STILL HIGH DEMAND AND SECONDARY MARKETS TAKE OFF ” "The investment volume is high, the vacancy rate is decreasing and yields are dropping." As a result of the high demand for – and limited supply of – prime investment objects, some investors have entered the secondary markets at a large scale. Our focus article in this issue elaborates on this subject and presents evidence for volumes in secondary markets. All in all we experience a strong investment market, a bettering office letting market and a general optimism towards the economy and business expectations. We are merely a year from the threat of a collapse of the Euro, in the midst of a diplomatic - potentially very real crisis - with Russia and close to a full blow military operation in the Middle East, but these factors do not seem to discourage investors at the moment. Perhaps the expected stability in Denmark is one of the reasons for the high demand we experience.

The investment volume is high, the vacancy rate is decreasing and yields are dropping. Prime properties – especially high street retail – are in great demand which has resulted in yield compressions at an unprecedented pace. The spread compared to other European metropolis such as London, Paris, Munich and Stockholm is, however, still high and the Danish mortgage financing is very attractive, hence we might experience further price increases in the quarters to come. 800 600 Enjoy the report!

During the period after the financial crisis there was a substantial decrease in transactions with secondary located properties, but this tendency has now changed and we expect the volume to increase further in the years to come. FIGURE 1: SECONDARY LOCATED OFFICE PROPERTIES IN GREATER COPENHAGEN DKK MMDKK 4.500 4.000 3.500 3.000 2.500 2.000 During the period after the financial crisis the real estate market was characterized by limited access to financing and high risk aversion among investors. The result was a market dominated by few big and financially strong players, whom mainly focuses on prime properties in Copenhagen. As shown in Figure 1 transactions with secondary properties decreased significantly from 2008 to 2011. During 2012 the market seemed to soften up and especially during 2013 a significant bettering was observed with a transaction volume for secondary located properties in Greater Copenhagen that reached approx. DKK 2.5bn cf. Figure 1. Based on the transaction volume for the first 6 months of 2014 (DKK 1.9bn) we expect this positive trend to continue and the transaction volume in 2014 for secondary located commercial properties to subseed 2013. ” "..attracts more investors looking to achieve a high return on investment..." This development has various reasons. Primarily it is a result of a limited supply of prime properties compared to demand. As a result of the lack of prime properties the yield was compressed, which has lead the investors to search for new segments – including secondary located properties – in order to achieve higher yields. Due to the fact that mortgage loans for secondary located properties has been difficult to obtain, unless there was an existing loan that could FOCUS MACROECONOMICS 1.500 1.000 500 0 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014E Source: RED Property Advisers be taken over, investors haven’t sought this segment during the recent years. If mortgage cannot be achieved the acquisition must be financed with equity. This results in a lower return on equity compared to properties where mortgaging is e.g. 60 % of the purchase price. Recently, financially strong and more risk-tolerant investors such as Briggen, M7 / Oaktree, Wihlborgs and Niam have made investments in more secondary office areas, which has resulted in a greater confidence in the present market. This helps to increase transparency in the market and facilitating access to finance, which attracts more investors looking to achieve a high return on investment in secondary locations. FINANSIEL STABILITET SELLS OUT Since 2008, the market has also been strongly influenced by the liquidation company of the State, Finansiel Stabilitet. This has increased the supply and, with all things being equal, put pressure on the prices in the areas where Finansiel Stabilitet had bundles of properties sold. During the recent quarters Finansiel Stabilitet has liquidated massively and it is expected that Finansiel Stabilitet will be phased out during 2015. This will INVESTMENT MARKET bring the market one step closer to a "natural" condition. It should further be mentioned that of all transactions with secondary located office properties in Greater Copenhagen the part of which Finansiel Stabilitet was liquidating was 13.7% in 2013 and only 8.3% in 2014 so far. Likewise the focus on liquidation of Finansiel Stabilitet has contributed to an increased interest from a number of foreign investors. This has had a positive impact in the investment market in the form of new foreign entrants. POSITIVE TENDENCIES IN THE MARKET A number of economic indicators seem to support that the positive trend in the secondary markets will continue. For a while economists have announced that the Danish economy is recovering and the year of 2014 is expected to experience the highest growth since 2010. These positive outlooks for the Danish economy are also supported by the consumer behaviour. As illustrated in Figure 2, the sale of passenger cars are at the highest level in the past 10 years and has increased nearly 80% since the OCCUPIER MARKET APPENDIX ISSUE III 2014 2 / 24 crisis. Moreover, the percentage of more expensive cars has increased from 20% to nearly 25%. The economy is far less pressured than before and companies are doing better. The number of newly established companies is at a higher level than in 2009 (see Figure 2). Furthermore, the number of bankruptcies is declining steadily. The level of bankruptcies is developing toward the same level as before the crisis, reflecting a stronger economy and an adjustment of the restrictive lending policy led by the banks during the years immediately after the housing bubble. FIGURE 2: SUPPORTING PARAMETERS Index: 2009 = 100 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 The positive trends in the Danish economy and among Danish companies, combined with better financing possibilities, has left its mark in the real estate market - both in the private market and in the investment market. 0 2005 2006 2007 2008 Foreclosures - Commercial real estate 2009 2010 2011 2012 Bankruptcies (companies) 2013 2014 No. of private cars sold Source: Statistics Denmark The number of forced sales with commercial properties increasing from 2007 to 2010 but has been decreasing ever since (Figure 2) with the expectation of further decrease in the coming years. Moreover, the percentage of forced sales on commercial properties is as low as 3.9% of the total forced sales for all properties, which is the lowest in the period between 2000-2014. Based on the trends and expectations of the market as well as the economy, we have positive anticipations for the market in the coming years. A market characterized by less restrictive access to financing, more investors with different risk profiles and a significant increase in transactions with secondary commercial properties encourages optimism. FOCUS MACROECONOMICS INVESTMENT MARKET OCCUPIER MARKET APPENDIX ISSUE III 2014 3 / 24 MACROECONOMICS ISSUE III 2014 4 / 24 MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW EXPECTATIONS To summarize, the expectations within the Danish business community are indeed positive. The question is just whether or not the expectations will be converted to real figures. Despite positive expectations, the GDP only increased by 0.5% in the first half of 2014 due to a descrease in 2nd quarter. However, the outlook for the GDP is positive and the GDP is expected to pick up by 1.4% in 2014.

The expected employment for the 6 months to come is at the highest observed level since 2011. Further, the expectations to the operating profit compared to last year have increased more than 25 %. 2 2005Q3 The figures show, in which direction several key parameters in the economy are expectedly moving according to more than 500 leaders in the Danish business community. 4 2005Q1 ” "...the expectations within the Danish business community are indeed positive." 6 2004Q3 In macroeconomics, it is a well-known fact, that the economy is depending on expectations to a wide extend. Since the economy is highly influenced by consumer expectations, investor expectations and the generel behavior of businesses, economic expectations are of great importance to the market psychology.

Office trading volumes in the second quarter where dampened slightly from first quarter, albeit offices remain one of the more sought after property segments. Despite the drop in 2nd quarter the total volume for the year is higher than at the same time in 2013. ” INVESTOR DISTRIBUTION - LAST 12 MONTHS (TOTAL VOLUME: 7.5 BN DKK) 2% 6% 19% "Investors’ interest in Copenhagen City Centre is expected to remain high..." 1% 50% 16% Driven by domestic buyers, investor focus remains on high-quality, well-located properties in Copenhagen City and the harbour areas. However, due to several reasons the secondary market is becomming more attractive (cf. focus article). The prime yield went down in 2nd quarter from 5.25 % to 5.00 % for Copenhagen City. Secondary yields were stable too. Thus, the yield spread remains relatively large and the 'first-mover' investor may profit of relatively high yields. Investors’ interest in the Copenhagen City Centre is expected to remain high and the increasing demand combined with limited numbers of prime assets may result in yield compression in 2015. Further we expect a number of foreign investors to enter the office property market, in absence of especially prime retail assets. The most significant transaction in the past quarter is the 735 M portfolio acquisition of former SAS-buildings in Kastrup near the airport bought by PFA and Thylander. The seller of the portfolio was Landic Properties.

Due to the fact that net 10-11,000 citizens per year is expected to move to Copenhagen, residential properties in Copenhagen are considered to be low-risk asset and attracts several investor types. Thus, the reason for the decreasing transaction volume in greater Copenhagen should be found in a relatively low supply rather than a decreasing demand. Prime yields and rent levels were stable the past quarter.

Institutional investor Private investor Property fund Real estate company Due to a limited supply compared to demand of prime retail assets, the prime yield is under pressure and is expected to decrease further. We forecast the transaction volume for more secondary located retail properties to increase, due to the lack of prime retail properties and due to the generel "hunt for yield".

In Copenhagen alone there are approx. 20,000 hotel rooms. During the first 6 months of 2014 the hotels in Copenhagen have managed to increase their performance in all important parameters compared to the same period in 2013. In average, ADR increased with 7% while RevPAR increased 13% - indicating higher room prices and optimization of the hotel’s revenue. Also the percentage use of capacity increased - from 59% to 63% - which displays an ability to increase the sale of hotel rooms more than the increase in capacity; i.e. higher demand.

Denmark Source: HOTEL CAPACITY Despite the financial crisis and a significantly increasing number of bankruptcies from 2008-2010, the capacity of hotel rooms has been increasing at a higher pace than before the crisis – especially in Copenhagen, where the capacity has increased with more than 6,000 rooms since 2008. This is an increase of 23% compared to 16.5% for Denmark in total in the same period. The growth in capacity is primarily driven 40 20.000 Due to the tourism seasons, the ADR, RevPAR and the use of capacity are significantly higher in May and June compared to the months from January to April. A hotel’s ability to generate profit is highly affected by the capacity of hotel rooms and therefore the hotel's ability to utilize the demand. The latter is further affected by external and macroeconomic factors such as consumer confidence. Use of capacity in % 80 45.000 Copenhagen Use of capacity, Denmark - Use of capacity, Copenhagen HVS London DEMAND by large and financially strong hoteloperators, such as Arp-Hansen and Cabinn, who also represent a great part of the pipeline. In 2013 nearly 13 M people stayed in a hotel in Denmark. Approx. 7 M were of domestic origin and 6 M were foreign. The hotels are therefore not only affected by the economic situation in Denmark but just as much in foreign countries. As illustrated in Figure 1 the capacity of hotel rooms is estimated to increase further with at least 7.6% in Denmark and 6.9% in Copenhagen over the next three years. At a European level more than 904 new hotels are in pipeline, which extends the total European capacity with more than 145,465 rooms. The greatest growth in capacity is expected to be in UK with 41,831 new rooms in pipeline. Following UK both Russia, Germany, Turkey, Italy and France are expected to increase with at least 4,000 rooms each. When analyzing segments with regards to turnover it is important to notice, that guests on vacation has a lower daily spending than business travelers. In 2012 a visitor on vacation had an average daily spending of 1,230 DKK and a business traveler 1,813 DKK, while a congress member spent 3,100 DKK daily.

In Copenhagen 55% of all hotel visitors are related to vacation while 43% are related to business. ” FIGURE 2: DISTRIBUTION OF VISITORS IN COPENHAGEN 8% 2% 31% "Since 2009 the capacity of hotel rooms has increased 14%..." 47% Sweden is the biggest foreign market for hotel guests staying in Denmark followed by the other neighbor-countries Norway, UK and Germany.

Besides a growth in number of hotel visitors from those markets, there has been a large increase in number of hotel visitors coming from the BRIK countries and strong economies such as Austria and Switzerland. The fastest growing market is China with an increase in hotel visitors of 182% since 2009. Since 2009 the capacity of hotel rooms has increased 14% compared to an increase in total number of hotel visitors of 29%.

The office property sector had more or less unchanged conditions in 2nd quarter – the market, which is still tenant-driven, is characterized by a need for incentives on offers, including fit-outs and rent-free periods, although prime rents remain unchanged. The occupier take-up in the office sector was robust over the 2nd quarter of 2014, with just over 334,000 sq. m of space leased. The figure helped push the first half of 2014’s gross take-up volume ahead by 43% compared with the same time last year. Copenhagen’s vacancy rate went down in 2nd and 3rd quarter, with the most notable decrease seen in the city centre whit a vacancy just under 9% in 3rd quarter. The properties available on the market are dominated by bigger premises, primarily as smaller occupiers remain active whereas international tenants are more hesitant.

The retail sector continued to record positive growth in 2nd quarter as sales grew by 2.6% in April and 1.9% in May. ” "Occupier interest in the pedestrian areas of Copenhagen was indeed strong over the 2nd quarter." Overall the market was largely stable in the past months, but prime rents in high streets is expected to increase due to the high demand and low supply. Occupier interest in the pedestrian areas of Copenhagen was indeed strong over the 2nd quarter. Among others Moss Copenhagen is opening a 1,500 sq. m Flagship Store at Højbro Plads 4. Further, the demand for secondary pedestrian locations such as Pilestræde and Fiolstræde was again evident, underlining a broadening in retailer interest outside the best pitches. Tenants are particularly searching for locations with a distinctive appearance in order to attract interest. Isabel Marant opened their first store in Denmark in late August located at the corner of Ny Østergade and Christian IX Gade.

However, despite the good weather the average number of pedestrians at counting point 3 (Frederiksborggade/Købmagergade) has dropped further. The main reason is to be found in the construction work at Nørreport which Købmagergade by Kultorvet still suffers heavily from. The construction site has narrowed down the street entrance to only a few meters. Despite this, counting point 3 remains the second busiest point after Amagertorv. Counting point 1 and 4 are more or less stable.

Efterspørgslen efter prime assets på ejendomsmarkedet har længe været høj, men vores seneste analyser viser, at der nu i langt højere grad også handles flere sekundært beliggende ejendomme. Man oplevede i årene efter krisen en enorm nedgang i salget af sekundært beliggende erhvervsejendomme, men denne tendens er nu vendt og forventes fortsat at være opadgående i de kommende år. FIGUR 1: SEKUNDÆRT BELIGGENDE KONTOREJENDOMME I STORKØBENHAVN Mio. kr. M DKK 4.500 4.000 3.500 3.000 2.500 2.000 1.500 I årene efter krisen var ejendomsmarkedet præget af begrænset adgang til finansiering kombineret med en lav risikovillighed, hvorfor markedet var domineret af få store spillere, med et hovedfokus på prime ejendomme i København. Det fremgår tydeligt af figur 1, hvordan salget af sekundære kontorejendomme i Storkøbenhavn faldt i perioden 20082011. I 2012 synes markedet dog at bløde op og specielt i 2013 kan der konstateres en markant fremgang, hvor transaktionsvolumen nåede et niveau på ca. 2,5 mia. kr. for sekundære kontorejendomme i Københavnsområdet (jf. figur 1). Vi mener, denne tendens vil fortsætte og at transaktionsvolumen for sekundære erhvervsejendomme i 2014 forventeligt bliver endnu højere, hvor transaktionsvolumen for første halvår allerede er nået et niveau på 1,9 mia. kr. ” "...tiltrækker flere investorer med udsigt til at kunne opnå et højt gearet afkast." Der er flere årsager til denne udvikling. Først og fremmest skal det ses som et resultat af et manglende udbud af prime ejendomme i forhold til efterspørgslen. Eksempelvis er der en langt højere efterspørgsel efter prime ejendomme i indre København end udbuddet kan modsvare. Det manglende udbud, har skabt et pres på afkastet i en nedadgående retning, hvorfor flere investorer søger nye segmenter, herunder mere sekundært be- FOCUS MACROECONOMICS 1.000 500 0 2008 Kilde: 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 E RED Property Advisers liggende ejendomme, for at opnå højere direkte afkast. Sekundært beliggende ejendomme er et segment investorer ikke har efterspurgt de senere år, da belåning (gearing) af denne type ejendomme har været nærmest umuligt, med mindre der allerede var et eksisterende lån der kunne overtages. Når der ikke kan opnås finansiering, skal købet finansieres med egenkapital, hvilket resulterer i et lavt afkast på egenkapitalen sammenholdt med ejendomme, hvor der kan opnås en finansiering på eksempelvis 60 % af købesummen. Der er kommet større tillid til markedet i takt med, at kapitalstærke og mere risikovillige investorer som Briggen, M7/Oaktree, Wihlborgs og Niam har foretaget investeringer i de mere sekundære kontorområder, hvilket er medvirkende til at øge transparensen og omsætteligheden i markedet, hvilket letter adgangen til finansiering, og som igen tiltrækker flere investorer med udsigt til at kunne opnå et højt gearet afkast. pres på priserne i nogle områder, hvor Finansiel Stabilitet har haft en række ejendomme, der skulle afvikles. Finansiel Stabilitet har over de seneste kvartaler afviklet kraftigt og det forventes, at Finansiel Stabilitet vil være afviklet i løbet af 2015. Dette vil bringe markedet et skridt nærmere en ”naturlig” tilstand. Hertil skal tilføjes, at andelen af handler med sekundært placerede kontorejendomme i Storkøbenhavn med Finansiel Stabilitet som afvikler, kun var 13,7 % i 2013 og i 2014 er faldet til 8,3 %. Finansiel Stabilitets fokus på afvikling har samtidigt bidraget til en øget interesse fra en række udenlandske investorer. Dette har haft en positiv påvirkning på udviklingen på investeringsmarkedet, i form af nye, udenlandske aktører på markedet. POSITIVE TENDENSER I MARKEDET FINANSIEL STABILITET SÆLGER UD En række økonomiske nøgletal synes at underbygge, at den positive trend på de sekundære markeder vil fortsætte. Siden 2008 har markedet desuden været stærkt påvirket af statens afviklingsselskab Finansiel Stabilitet. Dette har øget udbuddet og, alt andet lige, lagt et Længe har økonomer annonceret, at dansk økonomi er i bedring og 2014 forventes at blive det bedste vækstsår siden 2010. De positive forventninger INVESTMENT MARKET OCCUPIER MARKET APPENDIX ISSUE III 2014 22 / 24 til dansk økonomi kan da også konstateres hos forbrugerne. Som det fremgår af figur 2, er eksempelvis salget af personbiler på dets højeste de sidste 10 år og er steget næsten 80 % siden krisen. Heraf er andelen af dyrere biler steget fra 20 % til næsten 25 %. Økonomien er langt fra så presset som tidligere og virksomheder klarer sig i stigende grad bedre. Antallet af nystartede virksomheder er på et højere niveau end 2009 (se figur 2). Ydermere er antallet af konkurser støt faldende. Niveauet for konkurser er på vej mod det niveau vi oplevede før krisen, hvilket vidner om en stærkere økonomi og lempelse i den hårde udlånspolitik bankerne førte i årene umiddelbart efter boligboblen. Disse positive tendenser i dansk økonomi og blandt danske virksomheder kombineret med bedre finansieringsmuligheder har sat sit præg på ejendomsmarkedet – både for private boliger men også for investeringsejendomme. Efter at have været stigende fra 2007 til 2010, har antallet af tvangsauktioner for erhvervsejendomme været faldende siden (figur 2) med forventninger om yderligere fald de kommende år. Endvidere er andelen af tvangsauktioner for erhvervsejendomme på sit laveste i hele perioden 2000-2014 med kun 3,9 % af de samlede tvangsauktioner.

Et marked præget af lempeligere adgang til finansiering, flere investorer med forskellige risikoprofiler og en signifikant stigning i salget af sekundære erhvervsejendomme er blandt de tendenser, der giver anledning til optimisme.
