This is attributable to the absence of new supply in the premier financial district during the quarter. ■ As such, average rents grew 3.7% YoY to PHP 1,149.0 per sq m / month. However, given the current condition, rental growth could stagnate in the coming quarters. ■ As organizations reevaluate workforce needs considering the evolving situation, we expect demand for office to be sluggish. Be that as it may, Makati CBD may be able to ride out the storm. The vacancy rate is expected to remain in low to mid-single digits by yearend. 4 1Q 2020 Bonifacio Global City GRAPH 7 GRAPH 8 Stock & Vacancy Supply & Take-Up Bonifacio Global City Grade A Office Stock Bonifacio Global City Grade A Office Supply Bonifacio Global City Grade A Office Vacancy Rate Bonifacio Global City Grade A Office Take-Up 2,400 6% 400 2,000 5% 300 1,600 4% 1,200 3% 200 '000 sq m (GLA) '000 sq m (GLA) 800 2% 100 400 1% 0 0% 0 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020F 2021F 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020F 2021F Source: KMC Savills Research Source: KMC Savills Research GRAPH 9 GRAPH 10 Rental Performance Development Pipeline Bonifacio Global City Rental Growth, YoY Bonifacio Global City Grade A Office Rental Index 300 Metro Manila CBDs Grade A Office Rental Index 180 40% 160 30% 140 20% 200 120 10% 100 0% '000 sq (GLA) m 3Q 2007 3Q = 100 80 -10% 100 60 -20% 40 -30% 20 -40% 0 2019 2020F 2021F 2022F 2023F Source: KMC Savills Research Source: KMC Savills Research MARKET IN MINUTES ■ Due to several projects being delayed, BGC did not see any new completions during the quarter. As a result, vacancy rate shed another 30bps from the previous quarter of 3.3% to 3.0% in 1Q/2020. ■ Rental rates outperformed the rest of the submarkets as it registered a 4.8% YoY growth to PHP 1,036.8 per sq m / month during the quarter. For the coming quarters, growth is expected to plateau resulting from the impacts of COVID-19. ■ Although the pandemic is bringing massive threats across all types of businesses, unexpected opportunities might come about for flexible office solutions as part of companies’ business continuity plans (BCP). While this could stimulate leasing activity, it may not be enough to offset the adverse impact on the office market. Conditions will still be tight, but we do not discount a jump in the near term. kmcmaggroup.com/research | 5 Metro Manila | Office Briefing Ortigas Center GRAPH 11 GRAPH 12 Stock & Vacancy Supply & Take-Up Ortigas Center Grade A Office Stock Ortigas Center Grade A Office Supply Ortigas Center Grade A Office Vacancy Rate Ortigas Center Grade A Office Take-Up 1,400 28% 350 1,200 24% 300 250 1,000 20% 200 800 16% 150 '000 sq m (GLA) '000 sq (GLA) m 600 12% 100 400 8% 50 200 4% 0 0 0% -50 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020F 2021F 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020F 2021F Source: KMC Savills Research Source: KMC Savills Research GRAPH 13 GRAPH 14 Rental Performance Development Pipeline Ortigas Center Rental Growth, YoY Ortigas Center Grade A Office Rental Index Metro Manila CBDs Grade A Office Rental Index 400 160 30% 140 20% 300 120 10% 100 0% 200 3Q 2007 = 100 3Q 2007 '000 sq (GLA) '000 m 80 -10% 100 60 -20% 40 -30% 0 2019 2020F 2021F 2022F 2023F Source: KMC Savills Research Source: KMC Savills Research MARKET IN MINUTES ■ Conditions in Ortigas Center continue to look depressed. Despite no new completions during the quarter, net absorption slipped to the negative territory which brought the vacancy rate to inch up to 14.2%. ■ The lack of PEZA-accredited buildings and the inflexibility of new building landlords posed a great challenge for net absorption in the submarket. As a consequence, average rents declined by 0.4% YoY to PHP 696.5 per sq m / month. ■ The major disruption brought by the pandemic is expected to alter market fundamentals in favor of tenants. Landlords are likely to be more aggressive in attracting and retaining tenants as office demand is expected to slacken. We do not foresee improvements in rental growth in the near term as vacancies continue to hover at double digits. 6 1Q 2020 Alabang GRAPH 15 GRAPH 16 Stock & Vacancy Supply & Take-Up Alabang Grade A Office Stock Alabang Grade A Office Supply Alabang Grade A Office Vacancy Rate Alabang Grade A Office Take-Up 800 20% 100 80 600 15% 60 400 10% 40 '000 sq (GLA) m '000 sq m (GLA) 20 200 5% 0 0 0% -20 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020F 2021F 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020F 2021F Source: KMC Savills Research Source: KMC Savills Research GRAPH 17 GRAPH 18 Rental Performance Development Pipeline Alabang Rental Growth, YoY Alabang Grade A Office Rental Index 80 Metro Manila CBDs Grade A Office Rental Index 160 30% 140 20% 60 120 10% 100 0% 40 '000 sq (GLA) '000 m 3Q 2007 3Q = 100 80 -10% 20 60 -20% 40 -30% 0 2019 2020F 2021F 2022F 2023F Source: KMC Savills Research Source: KMC Savills Research MARKET IN MINUTES ■ After nine consecutive quarters of vacancy rates settling at low single digits, Alabang CBD succumbed to negative net absorption.
