Situated at the corner of Robert-Bourassa Boulevard and René-Lévesque Boulevard West. Good availability of amenities within the CBD. Public transportation is provided to the area through bus lines 61, 150, 168, 350, 355, 358, 364, 410, 420, 427, 430, 435 and metro station Square-Victoria – OACI is located nearby through the Montréal underground RESO. Weaknesses Difficulties of ingress/egress during rush hour traffic period. Physical Strengths Good quality Class “B” downtown office building. The layout is functional and in line with office building design. 132 interior parking spaces. The site is flat and level. Good availability of natural light throughout the floor plate. Weaknesses Limited on-site parking, although there is a good availability of street metered parking and parking lots in the immediate area. The property needs capital investments. Income Strengths Good mix of tenants from legal, financial and IT industries. Restaurant is leased on a net basis. Weaknesses Short term leases. 26.13% of current leased space is expiring by year 2. VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES Édifice 1155 University EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5 Effective Date: December 31, 2015 Office leases are mostly on a gross basis, where operating expenses are not all recoverable by landlord. Leasing Market Strengths The weakness of the Canadian dollar vs US dollar should benefit the economy of the Province of Québec. Renewals continue to comprise a significant proportion of market activity, many tenants find it to be the most cost-effective alternative. Weaknesses According to the CBRE Q4 2015 Montréal Office MarketView: The GMA is now in a phase where the economy is somewhat flat, yet the demand for office space is lower than it has been for a very long time. There are several factors impacting the market, including downsizing, additional competition from loft space and new supply. The GMA vacancy rate increased to 13.8% in Q4 2015, which is the highest rate recorded since Q2 2003. The CBD vacancy rose to 11.2% on 163,017 sq. ft. of negative net absorption. There was no new supply delivered in Q4 2015, however there remains more than 2.6 million sq. ft. in the construction pipeline and major deliveries are expected in the next 12-18 months The annual absorption level for 2015 was negative 523,277 sq. ft., the fourth year in a row with negative growth. There were very negligible declines in occupancy costs for both the CBD and the suburban submarkets in Q4 2015. The Central Core and Downtown South submarkets remain the most expensive, both exceeding $40.00 per sq. ft. while all the suburban markets hovered between $24.60 and $26.50 per sq. ft. Corporate and even smaller tenants are looking to modernize their operations and part of that involves reduced square footage for individual workstations, working from home and increased collaborative space, all of which is tending to lead to smaller footprints. Investment Market Strengths Despite early year consensus that cap rates couldn’t get much lower, we have witnessed evidence of further tightening of cap rates for select asset classes, most notably: CBD office, grocery- anchored retail and multi-family. VALUATION & ADVISORY SERVICES Édifice 1155 University 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Effective Date: December 31, 2015 Against a backdrop of economic volatility, purchasers are clearly prepared to pay a premium for perceived safety and security. This applies both to domestic buyers and, increasingly, foreign capital entering Canada. As expected, deal flow in Alberta has been sharply curtailed however outside of the Office sector, liquidity is arguably better than most think. Overall REIT performance in 2015 has been lackluster and even though REIT’s are in good shape by most measures, they remain a somewhat diminished buying force. Private buyers, pension funds
