Office letting market• The office supply in the defined office clusters
declined from 12.0 % in December to 11.6 % inJanuary. Of this share, approximately 28 % isnew office projects.
• The total volume of signed lease agreements in2014 was 510 000 m². This is down 200 000 m²from 2013, and is the lowest volume inArealstatistikk’s register (which covers the timeperiod from 2008).
• Campus Kristiania is looking for a new location.They demand between 3 500 and 4 000 m²,and wish to relocate in 2015. Synnøve Finden islooking for a logistics property along the mainroad E6. They demand between 2 500 and3 000 m², and wish to relocate before October.
• Bydel St. Hanshaugen has signed a leasecontract in Holberg Terrasse (about 3 500 m²) inthe inner city. The relocation is scheduled tooccur this summer.
• Following Skatt Øst’s contract signing inSandvika, the first construction phase ofSandvika Business Center is initiated. Of the10 000 m² that is constructed in the first phase,Skatt Øst will lease 3 000 m² from November2016.
Transaction market• So far in 2015, we have registered a transaction
volume of approximately 8 billion NOK dividedinto 17 transactions.
• Although conclusions should be drawncautiously at this early stage of the year, itseems as if the trend of increased foreignpresence in the Norwegian market iscontinuing. Hemfosa Fastigheter, a Swedishproperty company, has spent approximately2 billion NOK in the Norwegian market so far.We have, however, registered a somewhatmore cautious approach from some foreigninvestors.
• We estimate the prime yield to be 4.50 %,down 25 basis points since the last update inDecember 2014. Schweigaardsgate 21-23 wasacquired at a yield close to 4.75 % last autumn,and we know of investors who are willing toprice prime properties even sharper.
• Concerning the normal yield, we have adjustedthis down from 6.50 % to 6.25 %. Due to thescarcity of prime properties, we expect thenormal yield to fall further.
• The investment syndicates are as active as thefunding costs are low: Platou Real Estaterecently bought Haslevangen 45/47 on a yieldof 7.5 %.

*Definitions: Prime rents are consistently achievable headline rental figure that relates to a new, well located, high specification unit of a standard size commensurate demand within the predefined market area. The prime rent reflects the tone of the market at the top end, even if no new leases have been signed within the reporting period. One-off deals that do not represent the market are discarded. Normal rents should reflect the interval where most contracts are signed in the specified market area.
*Per January 15th 2015
Definition: Normal yield is defined as the net yield of a well maintained building situated in the fringezone with strong tenants on a 5 – 8 year’s contract.
“In order to understand the future, we need to understand the past” a saying goes. We have thereforedevoted this “topic of the month” to a summary of the past year.
2014 was characterized by an active transaction market. Basically all the “usual suspects” were present inthe market: Property companies, investment syndicates, funds as well as life and pension funds allcontributed to an eight-year high transaction volume of 57 billion NOK. The office segment was – asalways – the most attractive segment to invest in while logistics properties experienced the surge inattractiveness seen in Europe over the last few years. 2014 also marked the year the foreign investors’entry: Their share of the buyers side in the transaction market is now greater than one fourth. It seemsreasonable to assume that the foreign investors will manifest their position in the Norwegian marketfurther in the coming time, now that they have overcome the obstacles the lack of knowledge about themarket represents. This reasoning is supported by the participants at the Nordic Meeting hosted byMalling & Co in the early days of February. Here, the main message was that foreign investors are eagerto increase their presence in the Norwegian market. In addition to the already established foreigninvestors, some new faces were present at the conference, representing this steadily increasing interestfor Norwegian commercial real estate. In sum, it seems “everybody” wants commercial real estate.
However, some challenges are present in the transaction market. First, the supply of prime properties isfairly low, which might result in more deals being conducted off the market. Second, the worsenedeconomic outlook has taken its toll on the optimism in the market. In particular, the rental market, whichwas anticipated to be weak last year, seems to be more fragile now.
As mentioned, the activity in the rental market was low last year. This was anticipated due to the expirystructure of the existing lease contracts. The unanticipated factor was the declining oil prices, which ledto a significant number of tenants subletting (parts of) their locations. This will probably affect rents inthe coming time, but so far we have not seen the full effect. We should bear in mind that prices haveincreased rapidly over the last few years: From 2010, rental prices in real terms have increased by about20 % in Oslo’s office market. Furthermore, the supply in the Oslo region has increased, but onlymoderately. This, accompanied by low construction activity in 2016 and 2017, might result in anotherperiod of growth in rental rates.
