2017: THE INFLECTION POINT OF INDIAN REAL ESTATE - 7 July 2017 - JLL India
As GST is modern India’s tryst with destiny, so is 2017 a red-letter year for Indian Realty, being witness
Executive Summary
                to a multitude of policy measures. These range from RERA - the primary driver towards a more regulated,
                transparent and accountable realty sector, to GST- a key inflection variable for sunrise sectors such as
                Warehousing, Logistics and Manufacturing, to REITs which is a game changer for commercial assets. This
                paper seeks to analyse these key inflection points within the ambit of a till date constricted industry, as well
                as outlines its future outlook.
                India’s hugely productive office & workspaces will witness a counter-balancing of the effects of
                global economic vagaries, Trump’onomics, automation and dividends from India’s policy reforms &
                demonetization. Office absorption will continue to see an upward trajectory, despite short-term setbacks.
                In 2019, a net absorption of 34.3 mn. sq. ft. (up from 33.4 mn. sq. ft. in 2016) is expected and once again IT/
                ITes will emerge the probable hero. With the first likely REIT listing towards end 2017, institutional investors
                and HNIs will look keenly at commercial markets. 900 REIT worthy commercial Grade A assets equalling 280
                mn. sq. ft. are estimated to be available across key cities. The potential of this investment, as and when it
                starts yielding, will be a key reflection point for office markets.
                Residences & Homes will be a key beneficiary of the big bang RERA (provided it is implemented true to
                form). With it we are on the cusp of ushering in an era of greater transparency and accountability across
                multiple stakeholders. Developers have already started aligning businesses to RERA guidelines and Brokers
                will need to follow suit, else both are likely to fall by the wayside. Having said that, a marginal dip in
                residential supply is forecasted in the near term, as only those developers capable of delivering on time will
                undertake newer assets. And why not, since penalties for late deliveries are steep, not to mention the added
                whiplash!
                Affordable Housing will continue to see healthy supply, with 1Q 2017 witnessing maximum number of new
                launches (35%) in the INR 3,000-4,000 per sq. ft. category across key cities. With the triumvirate of Modi,
                Jaitley and Naidu granting Infrastructure Status to affordable products, developers heave a slight sigh
                of relief on cheaper funding, including external commercial borrowings (ECB). Question to ponder - Since we
                are now a ‘One Tax’ nation, can the days of a Uniform Affordability Code be far behind? Only time will tell!
                Modern Retail will evolve as hubs of enhanced ‘experiences’, which will be key for its inflection in order to
                counter balance the maelstrom of E-Commerce. The shifting ‘experience of retailing’ may be attributed to:
                increasing disposable incomes, enhanced demographics, technology innovations, greater access to the web
                and use of smartphones as well as emergence of alternative payment systems. Demonetization has led to
                a less-cash economy and the consumer has adapted to it begrudgingly. 2017 appears to be a strong year in
                terms of supply, with over 7.7 million sq. ft. expected to become shopper-ready. Good malls are witnessing
                moderate - good pre-commitment levels - ranging between 51-75% of leasing.
                The paper also looks at GST, and its impact on emerging sectors such
                as Warehousing and Manufacturing, set to witness increased investor
                interest - the recent IndoSpace platform investment by Canada Pension
                Plan Investment Board evidences enough. Post 1st July 2017, supply chain
                management and asset quality of warehouses should improve.
                2017-The Inflection Point of Indian Real Estate being launched on the
                sidelines of the 9th CII Real Estate & Infrastructure Conclave hopes the
                implementation of these gigantic policy changes in 2017, albeit slow and
                much awaited, will be seamless and advance the institutional development
                of India’s hitherto cautionary real estate economy.
                The glass seems to be half full, and awaiting a top-up!

Office Markets
 Office markets continued to look attractive with Bengaluru showing the lowest office market vacancy
 rate of 3.2% among all the top seven Indian cities in Q1 2017. Bengaluru and Mumbai accounted
 for 60% of the total absorption during the quarter. IT/ITeS sector revenues were under pressure due
 to increase in wage costs, appreciating rupee and changes in the industries to which the Indian IT
 sector caters. However, with IT/ITeS companies looking to reskill employees, changing towards Agile
 model of software development and looking for alternative areas of growth, we feel that the impact
 on space requirements will be marginal. Technology is not only displacing current jobs, but also
 creating new ones.
 The impact of Trump’s policies on hires in the US is minimal. On the real estate front, there has been
 no immediate change in terms of Request for Proposals (RFPs) floating in the market or the share
 of the IT sector in leasing or the type of buildings presently being built by developers. Also, India
 continues to be a cost-competitive market versus its other counterparts, which is a critical strength.
 REITs markets are likely to kick-start in 2017 and will be a major inflection point for office markets.

Residential
  Markets
  Residential markets witnessed the impact of the demonetisation drive with a slowdown in sales
  in Q1 2017. However, units launched witnessed a noteworthy q-o-q rise of 11.8% compared
  with Q4 2016. Pune was the highest contributor to quarterly supply across the seven cities in
  Q1 2017, followed by Mumbai and Bengaluru. Most launches were seen in the mid-range and
  affordable categories across all the cities.
  Going forward, the implementation of RERA by state governments will be the key inflection
  point for residential markets and we expect a slow and steady rise in capital values. Initially, this
  will be a reflection of reduced supply, as only those developers confident of completing projects
  timely will undertake new projects. Later, as the market becomes more transparent and well
  regulated, end-users and investors will find their way back, keeping capital values up.

The future of retail is becoming increasingly exciting with experience being rendered the
greatest emphasis by various stakeholders. This variety of experience will be the key inflection
point for the success of malls, with food and beverages and entertainment facilities increasing
in importance. Innovative developers are introducing new entertainment options in the
malls and retailers are trying to merge online experiences with offline ones to enhance the
experience of the consumers. This has been made possible with technological innovations.
On a pan-India level, against the net supply of -0.2 million sq. ft., an absorption of 0.2 million
sq. ft. was recorded in Q1 2017. Vacancy in superior Grade A malls was at a minimal 2% in
Chennai. Mumbai vacancy levels were at 8% and Bengaluru and NCR were at 5% and 10%
respectively. India’s overall vacancy remained unchanged at 14.8% in 1Q17.
