  • Farming Teamsheet
    Retail Quarterly Bulletin Q3 2015 Market Focus Shopping Centres Indicative Prime Yields (NIY) 29/09/2015 3 Months Ago 1 Year Ago 4.25% 4.50% 4.50% Market Overview Q3 saw approximately £1.05 billion of shopping centre transactions to add to the £1.78 billion completed in H1. The first three quarters of 2015 have therefore delivered £2.83 billion, which is substantially down on 2014’s first three quarters total of circa £4 billion. Demand for London shopping centres remains extremely strong, with the two largest and most competitively priced transactions of the quarter being the sales of the Angel Centre in Islington to CBREGI for £171 million at 4.1% NIY; and West One Shopping Centre on Oxford Street, W1 to Norges for £240 million at 3.50% NIY. Despite the reduced investment volumes to date, there is a significant pipeline of potential sales from centres either under offer or recently brought to the market, which is likely to see H2 sales volumes well ahead of H1, although at this stage unlikely to match the 2014 annual sales volume of £5.7 billion. Whilst strong interest for prime centres continues to attract highly competitive bidding, demand for secondary assets is now more patchy and very much asset specific, with Grafton Centre, Cambridge pricing weakening for poorer secondary / tertiary centres, where the opportunities to achieve the necessary target rates of return appear more limited.
