9 1 Residential Introduction The sustainability of Ireland s recovery and economic future is dependent on a number of interdependent factors, including continued growth in the tradeable sector of the economy, Ireland s ability to compete and attract talent to its cities and for its cities to adopt meaningful solutions, which address the real needs of its inhabitants. Fundamental to enabling economic prosperity is the provision of housing to meet the demand. Ireland is simply not producing enough housing, either in number or tenure type, to meet current and future demand. Housing completions fell from a peak of near 90,000 units in 2006 to a low of less than 10,000 in While there have been some tentative signs of improvement, housing completions remain exceptionally low with approximately 15,000 units completed in As of 2017, it is estimated that Ireland will have to build 25,000 residential units per annum to meet demand. The government continues to introduce new initiatives to address the imbalance in supply and demand, 2 however, it will take time for these initiatives to create the desired and necessary impact. Central to meeting housing demand is strong residential development activity and the existence of a proper functioning marketplace. Irish residential property prices peaked in 2007 followed by a fall of more than 50% over the period and a bottoming out in The effect of the housing market collapse and high loan-to-value ratios saw many developers get into financial difficulty and left the banks with high levels of non-performing loans on their balance sheets, eroding trust and confidence in the banking sector. In late 2009, as part of its response to the Irish financial crisis and the sudden deflation of the Irish property bubble, the Irish government created the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA). What followed was a prolonged period of reduced house building with developers exiting the market amid significant debt exposure. A dysfunctional and stagnant housing market ensued, with sale prices in many instances falling below the cost of construction. As market participants, and in particular banks, struggled to cope with the economic collapse, their focus shifted rapidly from development to one of survival and deleveraging. The pervading landscape of the markets is evidenced by the reduction in overall mortgage lending, which declined from a peak of 39.9bn in 2006 to just 2.5bn in 2011, five years later. 3 This period of reduced house building along with improving economic conditions (Ireland being the Euro area s fastest growing economy in 2016) has now created attractive market conditions for homebuilders in the short-to-medium term, as both house prices and rental rates increase across the capital. In the past five years, housing prices in have risen by an average of 61% or 134, This strong and sustained demand, combined with a supply shortage, has underpinned the increased construction activity being seen in the Capital has been a positive step forward for residential development in the City Council area, with approximately 42 residential sites under construction. These schemes will add a total of 3,634 new residential units when complete. The increased level of activity in the sector has been driven by a number of factors, including 1.

10 1 Residential crane survey renewed developer confidence, increased availability of credit from both traditional and alternative sources and the drive to meet increasing demand in a city which is experiencing a severe housing shortage. Major developments Kennedy Wilson and NAMA have commenced construction of one of s largest mixed use developments, Capital Dock, in the city s docklands. The scheme is made up of 7 blocks, ranging from 3 to 19 storeys. When completed, the development will include 204 luxury apartments. A feature of the development is that businesses that locate in the office blocks will have priority access to the scheme s apartments. JP Morgan has confirmed that it will acquire one of the schemes office blocks. On the site of the former Berkeley Court Hotel, Chartered Land is developing 5 pavilion-style seven and eight storey apartment blocks that will include 215 luxury apartments when completed. The penthouse has been pre-sold for 6.5m, the highest price ever paid for an apartment in the State. There are two major residential schemes underway in Ashtown ( 15). Ballymore Properties is developing 156 housing units at their Royal Canal Park scheme. The development is a mix of houses and apartments. Similarly, Castlethorn Construction has commenced Phase 1 of a development at Rathborne Park consisting of 60 units. Phase 1 is part of a scheme that will ultimately include 208 three and four bedroom houses, a crèche and two five-a-side playing pitches. Marlet Property Group is developing 180 apartments at its Mount Argus development on Kimmage Road ( 6). Located in Harold s Cross, the scheme is made up of eight blocks ranging in height from three to five storeys. In Clongriffin ( 13), Gannon Homes is in advanced stages of Phase 1 of its Beltree Park development which comprises of 114 three and four bedroom houses. Phase 2 and Phase 3 will add a further 29 and 28 houses respectively to this scheme. Dwyer Nolan Developments is developing a 106 unit scheme in St Margaret s Road, Poppintree ( 11). The development consists of 60 duplex units, 46 houses and associated roads, drainage and landscaping works. New market strategies PLCs and build-to-rent The pipeline for new residential development across is strong and looks set to continue into the medium term as new entities enter the market. Glenveagh Properties, a joint venture between US private equity firm Oaktree Capital and Maynoothbased homebuilder Bridgedale, raised 500m through their IPO in Glenveagh has stated that it s intention is to use the capital raised to build 1,000 homes per year by 2020 and 2,000 per year in the longer term. Cairn Homes, the London-listed homebuilder, was the most active developer in the area over the past year with c.609 residential units in the pipeline. In the Grand Canal Dock area ( 2), an area popular with young professionals and in close proximity to many blue chip companies, Cairn is building at Six Hanover Quay. The project consists of a 122 unit seven storey 07

11 1 Residential crane survey mixed use development over a basement car park. Residential accommodation is proposed from first to seventh floors with retail units provided at ground level. In Rathgar ( 6), Cairn is building the Marianella scheme which will include c.275 units across a range of formats, from one to four bedroom apartments to three bedroom townhouses. The scheme includes a residents clubhouse encompassing a gym, wellness suite, lounge and private cinema. s build-to-rent investment market reached 280m in 2017, with global institutional investors seeking to apply the professional letting model to the city. This is up from 220m and 250m in 2015 and 2016 respectively. 5 The build-to-rent concept is commonplace in markets such as the US and is becoming an increasingly popular investment option across Europe and the UK. While still a relatively new model in Ireland, the Irish residential sector is attracting more institutional capital than before and build-to-rent schemes are beginning to appear on the landscape. Higher property prices linked to supply shortages are increasing pressure on an already limited rental market. The highest number of households ever recorded (c. 500,000 according to the Central Statistics Office) are now renting. The ratio of homeownership to renting in Ireland was 70:30 in 2016 compared to 80:20 in 2006, confirming an increasing trend towards renting rather than buying among households. 6 Ires REIT, the Canadian property investment company and Ireland s largest landlord outside of the government, is one of the largest players in the build-to-rent market in. Other institutional investors in the market include US-headquartered Kennedy Wilson and Hines, with Irish Life expected to announce its entrance in the coming year. To date, most build-to-rent investors have bought already developed properties rather than developing greenfield sites. The largest residential investment transaction in City Council in 2017 was Kennedy Wilson s purchase of 124 apartments at North Bank in the North Docklands ( 1) for 45m. 5.

12 1 Residential crane survey Conclusion The strong year for residential development in City Council was not without issue. Challenges remain with respect to the efficiency of processes, availability of land, and reducing build costs to improve overall economics of homebuilding, including: Government policies such as the release of state land and recent tax reforms should help discourage the hoarding of land, but implementation of same may prove challenging. landscape is unlikely to change dramatically over the short to medium term, and the presence of alternative lenders has become the new norm. Ultimately, the increase in the supply of housing needs to be maintained in order to ensure that City remains an attractive destination for new business investment. This is particularly relevant as the impact of Brexit continues and UK based companies consider future EU location needs. Further to this, the new National Planning Framework should help improve and expedite the granting of planning permissions. Infrastructure needs must also be addressed. Across the country, there have been calls to expand the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund beyond the current 300m. To date, local authorities have sought 800m, indicating that the funds available are simply not sufficient. 7 Work remains to be done on reducing the average sale timeframe, with conveyancing taking on average 22 weeks in Ireland compared to the global average of 11 weeks. 8 9 From a financing cost perspective, access to senior debt remains difficult and particularly so for development assets. Traditional Irish senior lenders continue to apply a very narrow underwriting approach and with limited budgets. As a result, developers are turning to more expensive sources of capital through alternative funders to fulfil their requirements.

14 2 Office Introduction The Irish economy performed strongly in 2017 with output rising at a rate of 5.8% per year compared to an average of 2% across the EU. 10 Irish GDP growth is forecasted to be 5% in 2017 with 4.2% forecasted in This positive performance and outlook has resulted in jobs growth which has reduced the unemployment rate to 6.1%, down from over 10% in May Unemployment is expected to reach 5.4% in 2018 Office development in 2017 continued at a fast pace and economic indicators suggest strong market appetite exists for the year ahead. As per Deloitte Crane Survey count, there are 29 major developments underway that will culminate in c.4,026,431 sq. ft. of new office space when complete. Major developments In City Centre, office development has been the most active market segment. General sentiment is that the office market will level off in 2018, with this year marking the peak of the current development cycle. The Factory Building, Bolands Quay ( 2) is one of the largest office developments in the City Council area. On completion, the scheme will encompass 309,592 sq. ft. of office space across two blocks, 12 and 13 storeys respectively, along with 41 residential units. Green REIT, the Irish real estate investment company, are developing One Molesworth Street ( 2), a 137,304 sq. ft. six storey office block with retail units on ground floor. The building is located in close proximity to Trinity College, the Grafton Street shopping area and Merrion Square. Barclays and Goshawk, the aircraft lessor, are among the companies which have already signed leases for office space at the new development. Targeted Investment Opportunities (an investment vehicle owned by Oaktree Capital, Bennett Development and NAMA) have two prominent developments underway in the 2 area at 76 Sir John Rogerson s Quay, and 5 Hanover Quay. At Sir John Rogerson s Quay, TIO is developing a nine storey mixed use block, along with a further two storeys of office space and café/retail space. The development includes a total of 120,373 sq. ft. in office space along with 72 apartments. The 5 Hanover Quay development is a seven storey office building on the waterfront which will comprise of 191,921 sq. ft. of office space. Nearby at City Quay, Irish Life is developing an eight storey office development on the River Liffey which will comprise of approximately 107,000 sq. ft. with a further 10,000 sq. ft. of retail space at the ground level. The property is expected to be completed by summer 2018 with Grant Thornton contracted as the tenants. As referenced within the Residential section of this report, Kennedy Wilson and NAMA s Capital Dock scheme will bring three new office buildings to 2 s South Docklands. The buildings have a combined total of 343,483 sq. ft. of office space. JP Morgan have acquired one of the buildings, 200 Capital Dock and recruitment company Indeed will enter into 20-year leases for the other two office buildings, 100 and 300 Capital Dock respectively. 10.

15 The Reflector development is underway at 8 Hanover Quay. The scheme is a mixed use office and residential development in the South Docklands and is being developed by Park Developments Group. The project is to include a six storey office element with a total of 145,507 sq. ft. of office space and seven storey residential element comprising of 40 individual units. The development includes car parking, bicycle parking and a roof garden. Completion is expected in the third quarter of Under construction in North Wall Quay is The Landings mixed use development which will add over 1 million sq. ft. of office, residential and retail space. The project is one of the largest ever of its kind in the capital and will include 270 luxury apartments, 650,000 sq. ft. of office space, restaurants, a gym and a hotel. The National Treasury Management Agency have agreed a 25-year lease for one of the buildings, No. 1 Landings. In close proximity to each other in 2, there have been two significant developments in 2017 by the Clancourt Group. At 10 Earlsfort Terrace, law firm Arthur Cox signed a long-term lease for the new 132,000 sq. ft. office block that is their new headquarters. On the same street, 3 Park Place is under construction and due to complete in the first half of This addition to Hatch Street will add a further 170,908 sq. ft. of office space to one of s prime business districts. 12

16 2. Office crane survey On Fitzwilliam Street Lower, the ESB is building a new headquarters. The project involves the demolition of the existing buildings, the retention and refurbishment of a number of protected Georgian structures and the construction of a new seven-storey office block. The new headquarters will include 484,375 sq. ft. of office space. Hibernia REIT are developing a seven storey mixed use scheme at Cardiff Lane ( 2). The development will include 152,126 sq. ft. of office space along with retail units at ground floor. At 1 Windmill Lane ( 2), Hibernia REIT is developing 14 new residential units alongside 122,000 sq. ft. of office space and 7,000 sq. ft. of retail space. The building is another addition to the bustling Docklands and IFSC area which has seen strong activity in the past year. any major relocations due to uncertainty over the true impact of Brexit. Brexit may result in an added layer of activity to the property market, however, it is clear that a resolution to the housing supply issue must be found to make an attractive proposition for international companies. 4,026,431 sq.ft. Total office space under development Conclusion The pipeline for new office space remains strong. Some of s biggest ever office schemes are now under construction, including Capital Docks, Boland s Mill and the Landings. The office market is bolstered by strong fundamentals (strong economic growth, low unemployment, low interest rates, low inflation) in the underlying Irish economy and the outlook is positive for Number of major developments underway Since the UK voted to leave the EU in June 2016, there has been much speculation as to the likelihood of international firms relocating to in order to maintain the passporting rights required to sell services into Europe. A large uptake in office property was expected, however, this has yet to materialise in a meaningful manner as companies have delayed announcing 13

18 3 Education and student housing Introduction Ireland has the youngest and fastest growing population in Europe. Each year, around 56,000 students complete their final school exams and progress to third-level education. However, the growth in the student population has not been matched by an increased supply of student housing and as a result lags behind other cities in purpose built student accommodation. The existing stock of student accommodation caters for just over 13% of the 78,791 students based in, compared with 30% in London. 14 Underdevelopment has led to a structurally undersupplied market in, resulting in many new schemes being launched as developers aim to take advantage of the high prevailing market rates and excess demand. As of May 2017, the area had 12,432 beds designated for student accommodation, which is insufficient to service the demand of 30,298 beds. Looking forward, this deficit is estimated to reduce marginally to 17,771 by 2019 and to 13,569 beds by The number of students studying in is now 43% of Ireland s total student population with 61,500 full-time students enrolled at s four biggest third-level institutions (University College, Trinity College, Institute of Technology and City University). 16 To compound the undersupply of student accommodation, s third level institutions are in a period of high growth, with DIT s new campus in Grangegorman, Trinity s planned technology campus at Grand Canal Dock and DCU s planned 230m expansion all set to increase student numbers in the city. This study has tracked 13 of the major schemes underway in the City Council area which will bring 4,529 beds to the market when completed. This development activity is in line with the Irish Government s Rebuilding Ireland initiative which has set a target of bringing an additional 7,000 beds on stream by Major developments student accommodation The largest student accommodation development in is the Point Campus in 1. The scheme is being developed by Michael O Flynn and fund manager BlackRock Real Estate. The scheme will provide a total of 970 beds across two seven storey buildings with associated student amenities and facilities. The development is expected to complete in the second quarter of To the west of the Point Campus, there is a 374 bed development at Summerhill in 1. The project is being developed by McAleer & Rushe and is well located for students at both DIT Bolton Street and Trinity College. The project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of At Dorset Point, Hines has developed a student accommodation complex that will add 477 beds. Located just north of the river, near the Grangegorman campus, Dorset Point will have a range of formats from 2 to 7 bedroom apartments along with amenities such as gym, study and cinema rooms. On Church Street, Mortar Developments is developing a new 232 bed student accommodation scheme. The project will 14. Knight Frank Student Housing Report National Student Accommodation Strategy 16.

19 3. Education and student housing crane survey include 226 single bedrooms and a further 6 twin bedrooms. The development will also include amenities such as a social space, a gym and a laundry room. Taking a closer look at some of the developers, Global Student Accommodation ( GSA ) is building a 571 bed scheme at Brunswick Street, also serving the Grangegorman campus. GSA is a global investor in student accommodation and one of many foreign investors that have entered the Irish property market in recent years. Construction at Brunswick Street is expected to complete in the second quarter of GSA is also involved in the 491 bed development at Kavanagh Court on Gardiner Street ( 1). Kavanagh Court is well placed to serve both Trinity College and DIT Bolton Street students. 16

20 3. Education and student housing crane survey Conclusion The majority of new student accommodation developments are focused within the City Centre and despite some being more conveniently located to serve certain institutions, all are within manageable commuting distance from any of the third level institutions. 4,529 Total beds under development Recent activity also shows a changing dynamic in the student accommodation market. Student accommodation has traditionally been provided by third-level institutions, with 65% of developments built by the institutions themselves. 18 Current activity demonstrates the increased appetite among the private sector in the student housing market. 13 Number of schemes underway The outlook going forward is positive. After a prolonged shortage, the market is responding and attempting to bridge supply. This is a task made difficult by the growing number of students entering third level education. Ireland has a young and fast growing population with increasingly high progression rates from secondary into third level education. Another trend is the rising influx of international students, particularly from Asian countries with a rapidly expanding middle class. For the region, the combination of catch up on the supply side and increasing demand suggests that the market will be an active one in ,866 beds Excess demand for student 19 accommodation in Knight Frank Student Housing Report National Student Accommodation Strategy 17

22 4 Hotel, retail and leisure Introduction Ireland s economic recovery continues to drive demand across the hotel, retail and leisure sectors. In 2017, Ireland welcomed approximately million overseas visitors, generating revenue of c billion. 20 With tourism playing a large role in the success of this sector, market watchers are wary of a fall in UK tourists as the effects of Brexit and a weaker Sterling take hold. The UK is Ireland s largest tourist market. This issue is likely to be somewhat offset by the strong US economy and dollar boosting tourism from America. Hotel The hotel market had a strong year in 2017 with occupancy levels at c.84% for the year and average room rates of 177. The market dynamics in the Capital have increased the attractiveness of the market and led to an increase in planning permissions being sought and new hotels being developed. Furthermore, the Government s decision to keep the VAT rate at 9% for hotel related trade has boosted the sector. A continuing challenge to the hotel and tourism market is the shortage of room availability in hotels. Over the past 12 months, saw development activity that will add 929 rooms across the city, this included developments at the Iveagh Garden Hotel (152 bedrooms), the Dylan Hotel (28 bedroom extension) and Trinity City Hotel (77 bedroom extension). Notable developments under construction include: The new hotel and aparthotel scheme at Charlemont Street in 2. The new development will consist of 172 bedrooms with a further 6 aparthotel bedrooms. The five storey development will be a four star Clayton branded hotel run by Dalata when completed in October On Kevin Street ( 8), Dalata is developing a 150 bedroom hotel. The development began in January 2017 and is expected to complete in May The project involved the demolition of the existing factory/warehouse that previously occupied the space. The hotel, operated under the Maldron name, is due to be operational from mid In Ranelagh, Press Up Entertainment Group is developing a boutique hotel that will consist of 41 bedrooms, a rooftop restaurant and a 50 seat arthouse cinema in the basement. The three storey hotel will also include a large open plan bar in the ground floor and conference facilities. At 1 Mill Street in 8, a 202 bedroom hotel is being developed. The seven storey hotel includes two restaurants and a gym on the ground floor which form separate tenancies. The property will be run by US hotel group Marriot International and operated under their Aloft brand. 20. Fáilte Ireland 19

23 On Harcourt Street ( 2), an area popular for nightlife, the Iveagh Garden Hotel, a new four star hotel is set to be complete in early The McGill Family are developing the property which will be the sixth hotel on the street and include 152 bedrooms. Other hotels which are at various stages of planning include a 95 bedroom hotel planned at the former Loreto Hall in St Stephens Green, 2, and a 78 bedroom, six storey hotel planned for Donnybrook, 4, being developed by Emmet O Neill s Kouchin Holdings. Retail and leisure Despite the growth of online shopping, Irish bricks-and-mortar retail has continued to perform well in On the demand side, Ireland s underlying macroeconomics have been supportive of a robust retail sector. Unemployment is low at 6.1% with forecasts for it to continue to fall towards 5.4% in Improving employment dynamics and an increase in discretionary income have resulted in increased consumer spending. The prevailing low interest rate environment dissuades saving while at the same time more and more credit options become available to the consumer, from financing packages on cars and holidays to the broad range of credit card products that exist in the marketplace. Recent headlines in the sector include the potential creation of a new REIT focusing solely on retail property. Sigma Retail Partners are identified as being the likely promoters. At the junction of Lennox Street and South Richmond Street ( 8), Glebrier Construction is developing a four storey mixed use building. The project will include a gym in the basement, a retail unit on the ground floor and office space in the upper floors. The development will include a total of 45,768 sq. ft. of retail/leisure space and a further 21,506 sq. ft. of office space. On the Swords Road in Santry ( 9), J Manning & Son is developing retail units at the Omni Park Shopping Centre. The new units have total area of 39,396 sq. ft. Conclusion Given the ongoing demand, it appears that the hotel sector will continue to increase capacity in the medium term. Strong occupancy levels coupled with increasing average room rates should ensure the economics of these new hotels stand. Within the City Council area under consideration, retail and leisure development is likely to continue with brownfield redevelopments/ refurbishments rather than totally new build facilities. 9 Hotel developments underway Notable developments in the retail and leisure space include: Refurbishments at Grafton Street, Bewleys Café. The iconic venue reopened for business in November, having been closed since February Hotel rooms under development Nearby at Grafton Street, the IPUT owned building has undergone a major refurbishment and signed a long term lease with Victoria s Secret. 20
