Interest rates have stayed low, the search for yield and security remained strong however there has been more capital allocated for higher risk property, including development. The S&P500 index rose 12 percent to a record high reflecting cheap capital and a sense of economic recovery in the United States. This was further emphasised by the official end of quantitative easing. The Australian ASX AREIT Index rose 21 percent and the Australian dollar fell 9 percent against the US dollar. Nationally, over $24 billion of commercial property has been transacted and over 3.6 million square metres of industrial and office space has been reported leased which gives us confidence that the markets are operating normally. Commercial property yields in particular continue to look attractive. The Australian economy is being rebalanced as growth in mining investment softens. This means housing and retail should continue to lift with positive knock-on effects to industrial and office markets. As consumer confidence continues to rise, so should business confidence. As profit margins are restored, business decision making should gain momentum. Some State Governments will move into election mode and could be expected to provide some stimulus to parts of the economy providing further momentum to investment markets. China (even at a lower level of growth) and the United States are forecast to contribute positively to Australia’s economic outlook whilst Europe remains a drag. 4 australian industrial property Industrial property in Australia ranges from local service industrial such as plumbing and other wholesale trade supplies to heavy industry such as refining, tanning and petrochemicals to warehouse and logistics facilities, to manufacturing, assembly and food production. Some industrial properties also include research and development facilities, cold stores and highly specialised facilities. Savills Research estimates there to be some 100 million square metres of industrial floorspace in Australia, of which 40 million square metres is owner-occupied and 10 million square metres is small industrial units under 2,000 square metres. This leaves some 50 million square metres of leasable space, of which between 5 and 8 million square metres fall due for lease renewal each year. Savills captures between 2 and 2.5 million square metres of industrial leasing activity (largely excluding renewals) and so captures a large quantity of the types and style of demand to occupy industrial property. Whilst some types of manufacturing have been in decline in Australia for decades, the growth in the population, the number of cars on the roads and the spread of urban growth have seen large demand for local service industrial in every capital city. The need to get goods to the population has seen ongoing demand for warehousing and logistics facilities, and the advent and adoption of new technology has seen increasing demand for larger and more sophisticated industrial facilities. As the population grows, a great deal of manufacturing is required for housing and food production. First class infrastructure (road, rail and ports) as well as an abundance of appropriate land is required to meet this demand. Melbourne has been a standout performer in this regard over the past 15 years. Sydney has had to move further afield and continues to deal with infrastructure bottlenecks whilst Brisbane continues to make up ground. Adelaide has held steady whilst Perth has had problems providing enough supply to deal with the resources boom and a growing population. Authorities will need to carefully watch the amount of industrially zoned land in each city to ensure land shortages do not eventuate. 5 industrial investment market Savills recorded approximately $4.6 billion worth of industrial transactions in the 12 months to December 2014, up from $3.38 billion in the previous year, and up on the five year average ($3.1 billion). In the 12 months to December 2014, 223 properties were sold, up from the previous 12 months total of 172, and up on the five year average of 189. Australian institutional investors (Funds, Trusts and Syndicates) are increasingly active as flows to superannuation continue unabated. Private Investors continue to be attracted to industrial property investments nationally due to the high yields and generally long leases to single tenants in simple buildings. If the RBA is successful in stimulating growth in the non-resources side of the economy, then the industrial markets nationally should be the beneficiaries of stronger tenant demand. Signs of this were seen in the last six months of 2014 and Savills Research expects this trend to strengthen in 2015.

In the 12 months to December 2014, 54 properties were sold, down from the previous 12 months total of 60, and down on the five year average of 67. The 'Fund' purchaser category was the most active in the investment market for the year ended December 2014, purchasing 45 percent of stock reported sold. However, the Private Investor category recorded the most transactions (23). The last 12 months saw the number of transactions fall from 60 to 54. Sales volumes have been strong in the years following the GFC and 2014 saw a firm continuation of this trend. Sales volumes below $10 million continue to be a prominent part of the industrial market activity, with 49 transactions accounting for $114 million worth of sales recorded over the last 12 months. Traditionally, there has been a significant difference between the lower and higher end sales volumes, reflecting strong demand for smaller scale investment opportunities by local private investors and owner occupiers. Although there has been a rise in interest from institutional investors during the last 12 months, there remains limited opportunity to satisfy this demand. Hence private investors and owner occupiers are expected to remain as the predominant buyer groups over the medium term. Prime industrial yields as at December 2014 are estimated to range between 8.25 percent and 9.00 percent in the North West, and between 8.50 percent and 9.50 percent in the North. The average yield for investment properties in the North West in the quarter to December 2014 is 8.63 percent, no change over the year. Prime industrial capital values as at December 2014 are estimated to range from $778 to $1,333 per square metre for buildings in the North West, and between $632 and $1,000 per square metre for buildings in the North. Average capital values for properties in the North West are $1,056 per square metre, a 9.1 percent increase over the year.
