72 AGUIRRE NEWMAN Shopping Centres

The Portuguese shopping centre market is one of the most competitive in Europe. Most of the shopping centres in the country were built be- tween 1995 and 2009, and in 2010 it attained a Mar Shopping Algarve level of maturity, so few have appeared since then. Currently, most large and medium cities and towns have at least one shopping centre that covers the retail needs of the surrounding population.

In the current market context, the supply of shopping centres in Portugal has seen one or two openings a year at most. In 2016 only one shopping centre was opened: the Nova Arca- da, in Braga (formerly Dolce Vita Braga), in a partnership between SONAE and IKEA. This project has a total area of around 68,500 sq.m, with an IKEA store (20,000 sq.m.), Hypermarket (11,000 sq.m.) and about 110 shops.

Mar Shopping Algarve is expected to open in 2017, with about 83,000 sq.m. Developed by the IKEA Group, it is going to have 220 shops, 8 cinemas, 1 IKEA store and 3,500 parking pla- ces. Because of its location, size and diversity, Évora Shopping the project will boost the zone of the Algar- ve to a level that the other shopping centres have not been able to reach so far. In Alentejo, Évora Shopping will have 74 shops, 19 restau- rants and 1,200 parking places covering about 16,400 sq.m.

Because of the high demand for accommoda- tion, hotels are faced with stiff competition from Apartment Hotels, Tourist Apartments and Tourist Resorts. Although the supply of this kind of establishment has not shown signifi- cant growth in recent years, these units are established on the market and with represen- tation in the Algarve market.

PRIMAVERA MARKET REPORT 2017 93 Outlook for 2017

In 2017 the outlook remains high and in line with the performance seen in 2016.

On the demand side, the attraction of new tourists through the marketing that has been run by sector entities is going to continue to fuel interest in Portugal. Because of the politi- cal and social instability in competing destina- tions (such the North African destinations, the Middle East and Turkey), Portugal may conti- nue to benefit in terms of tourism, receiving the tourists unwilling to go to those destina- tions. It is expected that Portugal can manage to retain and maintain this public over the long run as it is a segment with greater dispo- sable incomes.

As regards the supply, with the foreseen incre- ase in hotel units, there is greater and greater differentiation of the hotel establishments, according to market trends (technology, ecolo- gical awareness, theme concepts and so on).

The main challenge for Tourism in Portugal over the coming years will be the balance between the occupancy rate and the avera- ge room prices. There was a 3.37% fall in hotel prices in Portugal in 2016 when it stood at €92. Portugal, particularly Lisbon, is considered a cheap destination by foreign tourists and this is the label that the entities are going to have to face to make the hotel sector profitable.

PRIMAVERA MARKET REPORT 2017 105 Offices

Investment in offices in 2016 totalized around €640 million, which was 56% more than in 2015 (about €410 million).

The average European yield dropped 0.25 per- centage points between 2015 and 2016, slipping from 4.10% to 3.85%. As in the rest of Europe, the yield in Portugal went down from 5.50% in 2015 to 5.00% in 2016 due to the high number of op- erations in this sector in a very aggressive, com- petitive market. As a result of these movements, the risk premium on the Portuguese office space market is 115 basis points above other European capitals.

The prime yields of offices in the various Euro- pean markets in 2016 were between 3.10% and 5.00% London, Munich, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm and Vienna were the capitals with the low- est values, below the European average. At the other end of the range came , Lisbon, Brussels and Milan with the highest levels, above the European average.

According to the current economic framework, the yields in Portugal are expected to continue In 2016, investment in to fall next year, both in prime and non-core as- sets. offices totalled around €640M, 56% more than in 2015.

106 AGUIRRE NEWMAN Retail – High Street

The retail investment market, namely High Street saw an investment of around €32.4 mil- lion in 2016 (only 1% of all the investment) and less than the investment that was made in 2015 of about €50 million.

International investors were responsible for the lion’s share in 2016 because of their higher pur- chasing power (or greater availability of capital) and because of the tax incentives for foreigners.

The average European yield fell from 3.60% in 2015 to 3.5% in 2016. To corroborate the Euro- pean trend, the yield in Portugal remained stable at 5.00% in 2016, because of the high demand for these assets for which there is a very limited supply.

The prime yields of High Street in the various European markets in 2016 were between 2.25% and 5.00% London, Paris, Rome, Munich and Vienna were the capitals with the lowest values, below the European average. At the other end of the range came Lisbon, Dublin, Frankfurt and Geneva with the highest levels, above the Euro- pean average.

The yields are expected to remain low and even go down in some cities next year because of the continued real-estate interest in Portugal and the liquidity on the domestic and international markets.
