First class offices in Buenos Aires have a relatively low price if compared to most of the capital and major cities in the region. Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are at the top of the statistics with 68 and 65 USD/m2/month, respectively. Followed by Bogotá, Santiago and Mexico, and then Buenos Aires with USD 25.50, and only a few other cities remain at the bottom of the list. This could be a very good argument to pitch the settlement of regional corporate offices in Buenos Aires. Also multinational companies analyze the purchase of their real estates given the prohibition of sending their profits abroad. Despite of the discouraging economic context the Cass A surface vacancy has slightly risen to 7.8%, as a result of the market incorporation of new buildings.

The Bahamas commercial property market continues to be challenged by a slow recovery from the recession. Although there are signs that a recovery is underway the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2014 saw very little improvement in the Class A office market. NAI Bahamas Realty Commercial leased 10,088 sq.ft. (937.20m2) and we are not aware of any other leases of Class A office signed during this period. NAI Bahamas Realty Commercial has continued to dominate the leasing in the Class B office market with the leasing of 60,325 sq.ft. (5,604.38 m2) of office and a small percentage of retail space. As reported in the 1st and 2nd r Reports of 2014, approximately 40% of the Class B office space has been leased to various departments of The Bahamas Government. The vacancy rate in the Class A properties is currently 8.28%, a 1.25% improvement, and the vacancy rate in the Class B properties has reduced from 19.61% to 16.11% a 3.5% improvement.

The consolidation in the Financial Servies sector reported in last quarters report has continued, but is slowing. A new 61,368 sq.ft. (5,701m2) Class A building on the western end of New Providence, to be known as the Deltec Finanacial Centre, has not broken ground, but the developers expect to have the required commitments within the next few months.

NAI Bahamas Realty Commercial recently contracted the sale of a prime 4 acre harbourfront property which was listed for $12 million. It has recently listed for sale three Class A properties owned by a subsidiary of UBS which includes a 1. 31 acre development site listed for US$1.4 million, UBS Annex comprising 24,163 sq.ft., (2,244.82m2) priced at US$8.5 million, and UBS House comprising 34,584 sq.ft., (3,212.96m2) listed for US$12.8 million.

Real Estate Market reflects the contraction in the economy caused by the political turmoil and the undergoing economical adjustments put in place by the new Finance Minister. Vacancy rate in São Paulo is rising as a consequence of a double cause: the new inventory delivered, much above the historical net absorption average, and the contraction of the economy. Vacancy rate at the end of 4th Quarter hit 16,3% and net absorption was 70.280 sqm. In 2014 overall net absorption was 143.587 sqm (in line with the five year average) led by corporations that moved to new locations taking advantage of the favorable conditions offered to new tenants in new buildings. Asking rent rates remained drifted down a little to BRL$ 112,00/sqm (from BRL$ 123,00/sqm in 2013 year-end). It is important to mention that new lease agreements are being closed with higher free rent periods (in some cases 6 months) and with discounts in the first 2 years. New inventory is expected to grow at 10% per year until 2017 (850.000 sqm). No new project was initiated in this quarter.

The fourth quarter 2014 has been marked by the economic deceleration. However, the market for prime office buildings in Santiago of Chile continues with a healthy scenario by now.

During 4Q/2014 there were several final receptions for prime office buildings (A/A+). However, there are some projects in their final stage, which will get in on the office market scenario during the first half of 2015. the total stock of prime office space has rise up to 1.465.077 m2. Furthermore the absorption was by 34.346 m2 (3Q/14: 19.483 m2). Besides was detected an increment of the average vacancy rate of 7.8% (3Q/14: 5.6%).

For 2015 we are estimating a slowdown in the development of new prime office buildings. the principal reasons is the increasing vacancy rate due to the finalization of some of the most emblematic office buildings here in Santiago (e.g. Gran Torre Costanera) and the lack of adequate land sites in the prime submarkets of Santiago (El Golf & Nueva Las Condes), dedicated to the construction of further prime office buildings.

This beginning of 2015 the office market shows a vacancy rate of 15,09%, which is a 1% improvement compared to the 16% it was showing months ago. This availability rate is considered high but not bad as there is a lot of Class C buildings in the mix that affect this average. It is important to highlight that this happened because of the entrance of new projects to the marketplace and not because of big new vacancies. The absorption we have seen during this year is stable and 4000m2 of net sq.meters have been absorbed versus 9347m2 of gross absorption. The average price stands at $17,22m2. The industrial market had positive absorptions as well and improved a lot, it now stands at 11,67%, which is great as during 2014 the rate went up to 17% availability. Prices continue in downward trend and now stand at $6,63m2. Once again the biggest attractor is the “ofi-bodega” which is a mix between a warehouse and an office space, this type of products have a vacancy rate of 8,26%. The commercial market has been very active during past semesters and there are international franchises expanding in Costa Rica, but at a slightly slower pace. New companies such as Juan Valdez Coffee, Dippin Dots, and Little Caesar´s have opened operations recently. The availability rate is at 8,52% and the average price is now $22,33. There is an increase in price and in vacancy rates, but due to the entrance of new projects such as City Mall Alajuela, which will be the biggest of the country once finished.

Kingston and Montego Bay are the main commercial centers, with other towns - Ocho Rios, May Pen and Mandeville being secondary, but these towns reflect the Montego Bay market levels. A number of large industrial/warehouse buildings are being Built-to-Suit for owner-occupiers. Due to a fairly tight supply, rent rates are firm in areas deemed desirable for occupation in Kingston. In other areas values can be 50% lower. Hardware merchants report fair business, signifying slow construction activity. The retail sector remains fair as landlords succeed at holding the current rental levels. Although there is pressure on retail profitability, the sector has not yet seen any significant increase in vacancies. In Kingston, main rental levels are in the US$15.00 - $25.00 psf pa level. The Jamaican dollar has continued to fall against the benchmark US$ despite the support for the Government of Jamaica by the IMF. Many investors are holding off plans for development. For safety, many currency holders are selling Jamaican dollars for the US$.

Retail: Markets in Mexico are expanding at a slower pace; latest inventory reflects slightly over 160 million sf of modern shopping centers, serving an ever expanding population. Office: The office market is still growing at a higher rate than the last two years, the Central Business District (CBD) showing the largest increase. The outlook for Mexico, fairly positive despite world economic conditions, depends to a large extent on the United States economy. Employment is up slightly over the last year, incomes are increasing, inflation is under control at approximately 3.8% and international reserves are at an all time high.

15.343 m2 of offices between Classes A + and C were incorporated in the fourth quarter of 2014 in various sectors of the city to give a total of 1,540,696 m2 of existing inventory in 141 properties. The absorption this quarter increased compared to the previous quarters, with a total of 61.825 m2 gross and 46,834 net m2 absorbed. The best reasoning is because many of the buildings that have been delivered in previous quarters, which were presold prior to delivery but were not yet occupied are being finished by the end users. We foresee a strong absorption in the coming quarters in 2015. The rental rates are still very competitive and have remained relatively stable, showing an almost imperceptible negative variation. Indicators of vacancy decreased from 23.83% in 3Q2014 to 21.55% in the current 4Q, mainly caused by the establishment of corporations, who already had purchased or leased these m2 previously. There are 404.837 m2 of office buildings under construction today. Net Absorption Total 4Q 2014 = 46,834 m2 (Superior to 10,488 m2 in 3Q 2014)

INDUSTRIAL: The Industrial sector direct reflection of the country's economy has a high demand on spaces for industrial development. Peru has one of the highest industrial prices in the region, on average 3.5 times. In Lima, centralizing mostly of the industrial sector in Peru, has been forced to find spaces on the outskirts of the city, especially in the South and Center. thus achieving mitigate the high demand for industrial and logistics industry. Only Bodegas San Francisco in the south of Lima Logistics Center has an annual absorption of 135,000 SM. In the Logistics industry south of Lima, there are a total of 839.500 SM of different stores developed. Only In 2014 were developed in total 162,500 SM and for this 2015 are planning to develop 120,500 SM, reaching end of 2015 to 940,000 SM.

Being the increase for this year of 19.8%, with approx. More than 110,000 m2. However, demand is far from satisfied. For example in the business district par excellence, San Isidro, in where part of area called Sanhattan, the vacancy is approx. Currently 4.6%, average being 6.1% in Lima. Rental prices appear to have stabilized since the beginning of 2014 to average between $ 21 and $ 23 x m2. Undoubtedly, what is observed is that most new buildings provide more availability than placements. The 2015 vacancy could be close to 15%, considering conditions similar to 2014 market.

RETAIL: It was expected to close the 2014 with a 5.4% increase and by 2015, 5.9%. The average vacancy in shopping centers is 3.8%. Peru has great potential to develop in this area, as it has one of the lowest rates in the region.

Venezuela

(sicad II)

2015 will represent a start of an economic change in Venezuela. After Hugo Chavez death in March 2013, and the new leadership that the new President Nicolas Maduro Moros has implemented in 2014, the Venezuelan economy needs a refreshment and a change of economic model. Even for their most loyal followers, they want a change and now is when big opportunities will arise. China keeps lending Money to Venezuela in order to finance its fiscal deficit (27% GDP) and to reactivate the economy. 96% of Venezuelan income comes from oil and the government is trying to incentive national production. Several factors affect the development of the real estate market in Venezuela but there are still opportunities to take: 1.There has been a contraction in the primary market while there was a substan- tial increase in the secondary market. 2.The increase in the value of unofficial dollar has doubled the property price of the secondary market in the last five months; the value of each transaction is therefore greater and so our fees. 3.Despite controls and regulations of real estate negotiations, the market has adapted and generated legal options to keep business on going. Office rents regulations have driven to a dollarized market. 4.Multinational companies cannot transfer their profit to their headquarters due to exchange controls. Therefore they are investing, the local currency they have in commercial properties. 5.In terms of advertising investment in Q3 and Q4 we see an increase of 100% on campaigns. Additionally there is a new real estate website, "Conlallave.com" that is adding a new value offer to real estate companies. The newspaper El Universal (the largest in the Country) maintains an exclusive body for real estate, positioning itself as the strongest in terms of reach.

Given the country's insecurity, real estate market has had to adapt sales processes to maintain the owner’s confidentiality and filter customers beforeshowing properties. This has not affected the speed of selling, but sales techniques, resources, direct emailing and more dedicated customer service is required.
