Property Review Abu Dhabi Real Estate Report asteco.com

Report Abu Dhabi Highlights Apartment rental rates across Abu Dhabi in continued to decline, following the same trend set in the first half of the year. However, smaller units saw rates stabilise, whereas a higher drop for premium units and larger villas was recorded. Low oil prices continue to negatively affect Abu Dhabi s economy. Office rental rates are currently at their lowest point since market peak in late 2008, with rates on average 72% lower. The ongoing job cuts across various industry sectors and the reduction of staff housing allowances continues to negatively affect demand with a number of tenants opting to downsize and / or move to more affordable units. Current villa and apartment rates are respectively 5 and 6 lower than the Q1 2009 peak. These rates are however 2 and 9% higher for apartments and villas respectively compared to the market s lowest point in Q2 2012. Following the decrease in rental and sales rates during the first half of the year, Q3 remained relatively stable but saw a decrease in market activity.

Abu Dhabi Rental Rates Apartments Report Abu Dhabi Demand for large apartments has decreased further putting pressure on current rates. However there are exceptions with a number of prime projects on Saadiyat Island and the Corniche maintaining stable rates and close to full occupancy. Other prime and high quality apartments saw their rates fall by 1% from Q2 2016 and by an average 6% since Q3 2015. High-end units, representing the highest proportion of supply within Investment Zones, saw their rates decrease by 9% for the same period last year. Apartments Rental Rates Studio 1BR 2BR 3BR Mid quality units were down by 1.5% from last quarter and in excess of 4% during the first half of the year. Low quality units, by contrast, remained broadly stable with only slight decreases in rates for larger units, as Tenants moved to newer developments offering similar or lower rental rates.

This indicates that there is demand in the market, but value for money is the most important factor. In comparison, larger and more expensive three and four bedroom duplexes and townhouses recorded over 1 decline since last quarter, with a high percentage remaining vacant for over six months.

The highest quarter-on-quarter decline was recorded in Al Raha Gardens (6%) followed by Al Raha Beach Villas (4%). An overall decrease in leasing activity was noticed this quarter, inducing Landlords to reduce asking rates. Demand for older villas located inside Abu Dhabi City was also down with premium units being the most affected; the average decline since the same period last year was over 1. Saadiyat Beach Villas were the only exception with rates continuing to increase since handover, recording a 7% increase compared with the same period last year. The lack of quality villa communities continued to support high rental rates.

Rental rates in prime office buildings are now close to AED 1,600 per square metre, which represents a 4% decrease in the last three months. As demand for large office space reduced significantly over the last six months, Landlords continued to subdivide space into smaller office units. Low oil prices leading to Government budget reductions and job cuts negatively affected overall market sentiment. The reduced demand led to an increase in vacancy rates which will put further downward pressure on rental rates going forward.

Report Abu Dhabi Sales Prices Villas The villa sales market remained quiet with limited transactions mostly for completed units. Sales prices decreased by 1%, on average, since last quarter and by over 4% since Q3 2015. Only Saadiyat Beach Villas recorded no change this quarter, however rates were up by 4% compared with last year. TDIC recently launched the sale of its new Saadiyat Lagoons District, which is located close to the Saadiyat Marina District and the Cultural District. Phase One, which consists of 820 townhouses (offered on a freehold basis to all nationalities) with the smallest three bedroom units starting from AED 2.3 million at an average sales rate of AED 1,180 per square foot. These prices combined with a competitive 30/70 payment plan attracted a strong level of interest. Indeed, due to the lack of villa communities available, such a product is able to attract good levels of demand as it is one of the few options available in the market at reasonable prices with attractive payment plans.

Report Al Ain Highlights Rental rates in Al Ain have decreased across all sectors, with a marked reduction in demand for large and premium units. Whilst rental rates for villas were down by 1 on average compared with the previous quarter, these were similar to 2009 peak rates. The Al Ain office sector is currently recording the lowest rental rates since the 2009 peak, down by 53%. The difficult conditions are directly correlated to low oil prices and curtailed government spending.

Al Ain Rental Rates Report Al Ain Apartments Office and Retail Apartment rental rates have decreased on average between 3% and 5%, with the highest decrease occurring in new buildings. A significant number of properties within Al Ain are held on historic terms (under rented). Therefore, the decreases have only had a bearing on a limited number of rental renewals or new leases. The most notable decreases were for one and two bedroom units. Rates for three bedroom units were relatively stable, as several villa occupiers moved to more affordable three-bedroom apartments. The new residential buildings at the Hazaa Bin Zayed Stadium were handed over, which offered high quality residential apartments with average asking rates of AED 63,000 and AED 73,000 per annum for a one and two-bedroom apartments respectively. These rates are 2 to 3 higher compared with average rates in the existing stock. Rates for existing good quality one-bedroom apartments range from AED 38,000 to AED 45,000 annually whereas two-bedroom apartments range from AED 50,000 and AED 60,000. Three residential buildings located in the Town Centre were handed over, which included approximately 50 mid-quality apartments. A further seven buildings are expected for delivery before the end of the year in the Town Center and Asharej areas. Similar to the residential sector, office market activity was slow this quarter, as a consequence vacant office space was offered at a discount of 5% to 6%. Rental rates for renewed contracts remained unchanged. Mid quality offices located in the Town Centre achieved close to AED 900 per square metre annually, however, lower quality offices in the same area were offered at AED 600 per square metre including service charges. The old office stock on Senaya Street recorded stable rates ranging between AED 400 and 600 per square metre. Overall, retail rental rates remained stable all over Al Ain, with the exception of Al Senaya area, where decreases of 7% on average were recorded. Demand for high quality retail space in new malls remained positive. The average rate in the more prominent malls was approximately AED 2,225 per square metre per annum, with Al Jimi Mall, Al Ain Mall, and Al Bawadi Mall achieving the highest rental rates. Villas Villa rental rates decreased, on average by 4% over the quarter, and by 1 for the same period last year. Older villas were the most affected by the declines. Four bedroom villas located within established and prime compounds achieved on average AED 86,000 and AED 120,000 per year, respectively with Shaab Al Ashkhar, Falaj Hazza, Al Towaya, and Asharej the most popular areas for residential villas in Al Ain. There is no major new villa supply expected for handover before the year end with the exception of a few private villas. 9

Report Global Outlook United Arab Emirates Highlights Forecast Overview GDP to grow by 2.3% this year The UAE is one of the most diversified economies in the Gulf, but oil price developments are still key to the outlook. The oil and gas sector, which makes up around one third of the economy, is expected to rise by 1% in 2016 after growing 5% last year, influenced by: Change in OPEC policy unlikely we expect no meaningful agreement to freeze or cut production at OPEC s informal meeting in September, so UAE oil output should remain high in keeping with the policy to maintain market share. We expect the oil price to average $43.6 pb in 2016 and $50 pb next year. Oil output limited by capacity production in the UAE reached a record level of 3.07 mbpd in August, based on IEA numbers. After a 4.4% increase in production last year, we expect only a 1% rise this year as spare capacity remains limited.

Report Global Outlook with non-oil growth slowing to 2.9% Medium-term outlook more encouraging Indicators show that while growth has slowed, recession should be avoided this year. The PMI, a signal of non-oil activity, remained in expansionary territory at 54.7 in August, with growth in both output and new orders still robust. We forecast non-oil GDP growth slowing to 2.9% in 2016, with total GDP growth at 2.3%. Low oil prices tighten liquidity domestic liquidity conditions have tightened since 2014, with low oil prices feeding through to lower government spending, interest rates rising gradually in line with the US, and a need to finance the large budget deficit. Mixed price pressures for consumers headline inflation remained broadly unchaged at 1.8% in July, and we forecast a yearly average of 2% in 2016. Measures to support the fiscal balance the government has slowed outlays on non-essential projects, removed some energy subsidies and a region-wide VAT is expected from 2018. Over 2017-19, non-oil growth is seen picking-up to 3.2% per year, slightly faster than in most of its neighbours. An improvement in economic sentiment and gradual rise in oil prices will help to boost growth. This will be aided by: Diversification strategy the UAE aims to transition to a knowledge based economy by 2021, with oil GDP contributing 2 to total GDP (currently 3). Business hub status and Expo 2020 will support investment the UAE ranks highly for its ease of doing business and openness to investment and trade, which will support investment. Rising business confidence the IMF suggests that efforts should be made to improve the business environment, ease restrictions on FDI and spur competition. The imminent approval of the bankruptcy law, improving access to finance and broadening the credit bureau s coverage, should all help improve business confidence.
