REPORT HIGHLIGHTS Residential

Property values in the residential market have remained stable in Q3, reflecting low transaction volumes in the secondary market.

The low transaction volumes are a product of three factors:-

1) Weaker investor sentiment due to the impact of lower oil revenues which has seen a period of price stagnation in Abu Dhabi and prices falling in Dubai.

2) A lack of availability of good stock, as owners remain unmotivated to sell in the current market, with many enjoying healthy rental yields.

3) The increase in off-plan investment opportunities offering attractive payment plan terms is diverting some liquidity into this segment of the market.

There is evidence that rents may be approaching their ceiling level at the top end of the market demonstrated by modest growth of only 1% in the last 3 months despite a low level of vacancy and new supply in the high-end/luxury sectors. Developments in this segment have experienced year on year growth of between 7 to 10% hence many tenants are still facing sizeable increases at lease renewal.

Office

The commercial office market remains subdued and has seen low leasing activity during the last quarter. Although demand has declined, particularly from the government sector, this has been balanced by a lack of new supply entering the market, which has resulted in marginal rental increases of between 1-3%.

There are a number of office developments which are close to entering the market, including the ADIB HQ Tower 2 situated on Airport Road, Maryha Tower on Maryha Island, developed by Al Hilal Bank and the Al Qudra HQ at Khalifa Park, which together will add approximately 60,000 sqm of net leasable space.

Retail Sector

The retail sector has witnessed no major supply entering the market in Q3 with the majority of new supply comprising ancillary “street retail” on Abu Dhabi Island and mainland. This in turn is allowing the retail malls to focus on increasing their foot-falls by attracting tourists and residents in an increasingly competitive environment.

Retail rents across Abu Dhabi malls have remained stable during Q3 2015, although some mall tenants are requesting rental reductions at lease renewal, driven falling revenues witnessed by small retail stores during Q3 2015.

Hospitality Sector

Growth in guest arrivals into Abu Dhabi (up by 22% in Q2 2015 vs. Q2 2014), driven mainly by growth in tourists from China (68%), US (30%), Philipines (29%) and KSA (27%).

The hospitality sector is gearing up for the opening of Lourve Abu Dhabi, which is expected to increase the number of tourist arrivals into Abu Dhabi.

One of the aims of this report is to aid with improving market transparency by basing our analysis wherever possible on primary transactional evidence derived from our own managed portfolio and from the analysis of our sales and home financing activities. We believe that this adds credibility to the analysis and we hope provides confidence in its reliability.

The most significant new supply that entered the rental market this quarter was the release of 900 apartments in Gate Towers, which had remained vacant since the project was handed over. Also on Reem Island, Sea View Tower which is situated on Shams Abu Dhabi was handed over in September, comprising 280 apartments which have all been leased to Etihad. A number of

small infill developments have completed in the last three months, including Plot C9 in Sector E-25 and Plot C149 in Sector E-19/2 on the main Abu Dhabi Island in addition to Plot C49 in Sector ME-9 in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, which together have added just over 100 apartments.

THE ADIB RENTAL INDEX �� In the last 3 months MPM Properties have

renewed close to 2,700 tenancy contracts in Abu Dhabi on behalf of landlords, and granted over 252 new leases

�� ADIB Rental Index continues to show, that across its portfolio, the common rental change trend is 0 to +5% increase during the last 3 months. We expect the rents to continue growing as the market is witnessing limited residential supply entering in the prime areas of Abu Dhabi

�� There are exceptions where rents have increased by over 20% and in some cases much higher, however such cases are very limited (representing in overall terms less than 5%-7% of the portfolio) and relate predominantly to the bottom end of the rental market typically with rents below AED40,000 per annum. These exceptional increases have impacted the overall Q-on-Q average change for each zone

ADIB RENTAL INDEX NOTES �� The ADIB Rental Index relates to the

performance of the ADIB portfolio only and the data is derived exclusively from transactions completed by MPM Properties.

�� The ADIB Portfolio in Abu Dhabi comprises over 12,000 units (70% apartments, 30% villas) with a spread of quality and locations both on the Abu Dhabi Island and the growing Off-Island areas.

�� The ADIB Rental Index has been compiled with a view to enhancing transparency in the Abu Dhabi real estate market and to provide a credible market indicator for rental trend movements.

�� Rental Index Zones are identified on the Map located at the end of this report.

APARTMENT SALE PRICES Property values in the residential market have in overall terms remained stable in Q3, reflecting low transaction volumes in the secondary market. The only exception has been Al Reef Downtown where values have risen by up to 5% for some unit types, highlighting that investor demand is weighed towards the affordable end of the market driven by

attractive rental yields. The low transaction volumes are, in part, due to a lack of availability of good quality stock, as owners remain unmotivated to sell in the current market, with many enjoying healthy rental yields.

AVERAGE APARTMENT SALES PRICE AED/sq.ft. Q3 2015

RESIDENTIAL DEMANDMPM has witnessed a decline in sales enquiries during the last quarter and a corresponding fall in sales transactions closing in the secondary market. This could be attributed in part to the summer holiday period, which traditionally sees a decline in market activity, although sustained price stagnation and falling prices in Dubai is also having an impact on investor sentiment (both buyers and sellers) reducing transaction volumes. Moreover the increase in off-plan investment opportunities offering attractive

payment plan terms is also diverting some liquidity into this segment of the market.

Analysis of MPM sales leads shows demand is heavily focused towards properties priced at less than AED 2 million, comprising almost 60% of all our enquiries (39% of which are looking for properties priced less than AED 1.5 million). The most popular developments comprise Al Reef, Raha Beach and Reem Island.

An indicator that demand has weakened is the compression in interest rates which has been witnessed, with some banks reducing rates by 75 basis points as they chase market share in a bid to meet year end targets. It is too early to analyse the impact on the market at this stage.

In terms of the off-plan market, demand is driven predominantly by the reputation of the developer and the payment plan in the first instance and then by price, product quality and location.

Following a sustained period of inactivity in terms of new project launches during 2009-2013, over the last 18 months Abu Dhabi has seen 16 new developments launched to the market, comprising over 6000 units.

The first new projects launched in 2014 by Aldar and TDIC demonstrated there was very strong pent-

up demand for new prime located product from government backed developers and consequently projects sold out quickly. Whilst more recent off-plan developments released by various developers have on the whole witnessed good demand the volume of sales closed indicates a decline in demand in comparison to last year.

The principal reason for this is the change in market sentiment over the last 12 months which has seen a decline in investor confidence impacted by prices stagnating in Abu Dhabi and declining in Dubai combined with the fall in the oil price.

There is virtually no demand for developments being sold off-plan by less well known independent developers who may have to realign strategy and sell on post completion in order to achieve optimum value.

APARTMENT RENTS Following a sustained period of growth over the last 18 months it appears that rents may be approaching their ceiling level at the top end of the market demonstrated by modest growth of only 1% in the last 3 months despite a lack of vacancy

and new supply in the high-end/luxury sectors. It should be noted that developments in this segment have experienced year on year growth of between 7 to 10% hence many tenants are still facing sizeable increases at lease renewal.

RENTAL DEMAND MPM has witnessed significant demand from both individuals and corporate tenants for apartments in Mussafah where demand currently outstrips supply thus providing land owners in this location with development opportunities providing potentially healthy returns.

MPM receives on average over 6,000 leasing enquiries every quarter from prospective tenants in Abu Dhabi. An analysis of these enquiries shows that demand is heavily focused at the affordable end of the market with 56% of all enquiries from tenants with a budget of less than AED 100,000 per annum.

NEW LAW REGULATING THE ABU DHABI REAL ESTATE MARKET In June 2015 a new law was announced by the General Secretariat of the Executive Council which comes into force in January 2016.

In our view, the new law is a positive step towards attracting increased real estate investment in Abu Dhabi as it tackles many of the concerns raised by investors in the past. Some of the key provisions in the new law are outlined below:-

Regulating Real Estate Developers

& ProfessionalsReal estate developers and brokers, owners association (OA) managers, appraisers and surveyors may not engage in any activity before obtaining a licence from the Department of Municipal Affairs (DMA) and are not entitled to claim remuneration and fees if they are not licensed. Failure to comply with this requirement may lead to imprisonment and a fine between Dh50,000 and Dh200,000, or up to Dh2 million in the case of real estate developers.

Mortgage Enforcement

The law provides for more effective enforcement in the event a debtor defaults on mortgage payments. A bank can now enforce the mortgage immediately through the court after giving notice to the debtor, without having to obtain a court judgment that the debtor owes the debt.

Off-Plan Mortgage Financing

The law allows units sold off-plan to be mortgaged provided that the loan amount is paid into the relevant escrow account and the loan is allocated for payment of the purchase price. These new provisions should encourage banks to become

more actively engaged in this segment of the market

Protecting Investors

The law prohibits real estate companies from selling off-plan units unless the developer and the project have been registered with the DMA and the company has opened an escrow account for the project and obtained written permission from DMA to advertise and market it.

The law also protects investors by requiring developers to register units sold off-plan in the interim real estate register. In addition, it sets out how a breach of this requirement by developers is to be dealt with.

The law sets out clear guidelines for the DMA to follow in dealing with developers when there are delays in meeting project milestones, to ensure that investors’ rights are protected and there is no delay in legal proceedings.

Registration Fees

The law prohibits developers from collecting registration fees (usually 2% of the property price) from investors and only allows developers to charge administrative fees, which must first be approved by the DMA.

Formation of Owners Associations

The law includes provisions for setting up OAs that will be independent legal entities that hold title to the common areas and are responsible for its management in accordance with international standards.

VILLA VALUES – NON-INVESTMENT AREAS�� The analysis below is based on data gathered

from the transactions financed by ADIB, villas managed by MPM and data from agency (sales and leasing) team, for villas in non-investment zones and highlights the current prevailing prices and yields

�� The demand for villas and villa compounds was slow during Q3 2015, as multiple projects like Al Merief, Nareel plots and West Yas attracted

market demand. The market is currently witnessing mismatch in yield expectations between seller and buyer, which in turn is leading to a slow-down in transaction volumes

�� Demand for good quality villa compounds in Khalifa City “A” and Mushrif areas continues to be healthy at 8% gross yield, despite some sellers currently attempting to sell villas at 7% gross yields

PROJECT IN FOCUS – MAYAN RESIDENCE

Yas Island benefits from a number of major development anchors both existing and planned that will drive demand and value creating both an attractive lifestyle destination and investment proposition.

YAS ISLAND

Mayan enjoys a prominent position on the world-renowned Yas Island, known for its destination-led lifestyle experience and the Formula One circuit which hosts the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on an annual basis.

Yas Island, whose population is expected to grow significantly as projects both under development and planned come on stream, is already home to major retail attractions in the form of Yas Mall, IKEA, Geant and ACE Hardware.

Two theme parks are already in operation on Yas Island – Yas Water World and Ferrari World, with two more theme parks marked out for development on the island’s master plan.

Yas Island is home to numerous food and beverage and entertainment venues ranging from the Yas Island Yacht Club, to the Beach Club as well as concert venues.

MAYAN - OVERVIEW

Located in the Yas Beach area of Yas Island and adjacent to the destination’s Hotel District, Mayan is a low-rise master planned community. With no restrictions on purchaser nationality due to its Investment Zone status, Mayan has been designed to appeal to a broad base of investors and end users.

Mayan offers a range of 700 apartment choices from studios to 1,2,3 and 4 bed options as well as beach houses.

Mayan benefits from stunning golf course and sea views, in addition to a variety of high-end amenities, from luxury infinity pools overlooking the sea, gyms, steam rooms, saunas, and access to Yas Island’s members-only beach club. Residents of Mayan will benefit from private parking, an exclusive concierge service, CCTV monitored security and 24-hour maintenance.

SUPPLY Q3 2015

�� The only major addition to the market in the last quarter is the office space currently being handed over at Addax Tower, where we estimate approximately 20,000 sqm (representing approximately 25% of the tower) is now available in the market for either rent or for sale

�� A number of small developments, predominantly situated off-island, have been completed this quarter which together have added a further 5,000 sqm of ancillary Grade C office space

FUTURE SUPPLY

�� There are a number of office developments which are close to entering the market, including the ADIB HQ Tower 2 situated on Airport Road, Maryah Tower on Maryah Island, developed by Al Hilal Bank and the Al Qudra HQ at Khalifa Park, which together will add approximately 60,000 sqm of net leasable space

�� Post 2015, with the exception of handover delays of existing projects , there are limited new office developments in the pipeline. The developments that are underway are predominantly owner-occupier developments like ADNOC HQ, ADIB HQ Tower 1, etc. The demand for “business park” with ample parking continues to be strong from the SME sector and this is an opportunity that needs to be tapped by developers and investors

REAL ESTATE SERVICES | ABU DHABI REAL ESTATE MARKET OVERVIEW Q3 2015 | OFFICE SECTOR

OFFICE RENTS �� The commercial office market remains subdued

and has seen low leasing activity during the last quarter. Although demand has declined, particularly from the government sector this has been balanced by a lack of new supply entering the market, which has resulted in marginal rental increases of between 1-3%. The lack of Grade A space available for immediate occupation is seeing rents appreciate in prime buildings which enjoy low vacancy rates

�� The lack of availability and leasing activity in the Grade A segment is having a positive impact on some Grade B office buildings where we have seen leasing transactions closing at headline rents of AED 1,325 per sqm representing growth of 8% in comparison with the previous quarter. We don’t expect to see this growth sustained given the new supply due to be delivered to the market over the next six months

OFFICE SALES �� Floors and units within Addax Tower on Reem

Island continue to be handed over to investors and hence progressively more space is becoming available in the secondary market with prices generally ranging from AED 1,050 to AED 1,200 per sqft, with some owners offering extended

payments plans. The marketability of this space is being negatively impacted by the parking ratio although we understand that Tamouh is looking to address this with the construction of a multi-storey parking structure next to the tower

TAKE-UP & RENTS

The rents quoted above are base rents excluding any turnover provisions and service charges.

�� Retail rents across Abu Dhabi malls have remained stable during Q3 2015, although some mall tenants have started requesting for rental reductions / renewals at previous rents, driven by drop in revenues witnessed by small number of retail stores during Q3 2015. On the other hand high street retailers across Abu Dhabi’s major locations have accepted 5% rental increase on renewals as rents on high street catch-up with rents inside established malls

�� Occupancy across malls remains high within Abu Dhabi Island, with malls on Abu Dhabi mainland witnessing healthy take-up for vacant space albeit at attractive rents or with attractive tenant incentives

�� The majority of existing contracts are being renewed at turnover rent. In turn this will ensure greater involvement from mall owners to drive foot-falls and revenue to stores within their malls

RETAIL SPACE CLASSIFICATION

RETAIL SPACE LOCATION

SUPPLY Retail Sector Set to Grow Rapidly Over the Next Three to Four Years

Q3 2015

�� The retail sector has witnessed no major supply entering the market in Q3 with majority of the supply being driven by “street retail” on Abu Dhabi Island and mainland. This in turn is allowing the retail malls to focus on increasing their foot-falls by attracting tourists and residents

�� Apple Store has recently opened at Yas Mall and this is a major addition to the retail brands within Abu Dhabi and is expected to yield higher foot falls to the mall

FUTURE SUPPLY

�� The retail sector within Abu Dhabi is expected to see multiple community retails and convenience stores being built all across the city. This in turn is expected to increase the competition amongst supermarkets, while enhancing the lifestyle of residents with more retail options available at their door-step

�� Al Mariyah Central is on course for a Q1 2018 opening has Gulf Capital has secured a AED2.3billion funding and 1/3 rd of the mall has been pre-let with key anchors currently announced being Macy’s and Bloomingdales. The funding covers phase one of the project, which will involve 2.3 million of a total of 3.1 million square feet being developed. This will include a mall with more than 400 stores, 145 restaurants and cafes and a 20-screen cinema

RESEARCH STUDY AREA

The geographical extent of the study area includes the Abu Dhabi Island, Investment Areas and the most populated Off-Island districts specifically Khalifa City A, Mohammed Bin Zayed City and Shakbout City.

RESIDENTIAL

New residential developments are classified as delivered and thus entered into the new supply category when they are made available for occupation. This is verified via a combination of site inspections and discussion with the developer and hence our supply numbers do take into consideration the phased release of large projects.

The ADIB Rental Index relates to the performance of the ADIB portfolio only and the data is derived exclusively from transactions completed by MPM Properties.

Other rental and sales trend analysis is based on transactional data derived from the MPM Properties Agency team and data sourced from developers and owners.

OFFICES

New office developments are classified as delivered and thus entered into the new supply category when they are available for tenant fit-outs.

Given the general lack of transparency in the local market rents quoted are headline rents, thus exclude any rent free period or other financial incentives that may have been negotiated between the parties. The rents quoted are also exclusive of service charges.

RETAIL

New retail developments are classified as delivered and thus entered into the new supply category when the first units are open and trading.

Our classification of malls is based on our own assessment having regard to size and the catchment area which the mall typically penetrates.

HOSPITALITY

New hotels are classified as delivered and thus entered into the new supply category when they are opened and trading. All trading performance data is provided by ADTCA.

FUTURE SUPPLY PROJECTIONS

Our future supply projections across all sectors are based on a combination of regular site inspections and discussions with developers.
