Market Overview No new mall supply; limited leasing activity in malls. Ahmedabad did not witness any new mall supply during the fourth quarter of 2016. No major transaction was recorded in malls during the quarter. This could be partly attributed to limited availability of good quality spaces in malls. Amidst stable inventory levels and limited leasing activity in malls, the city s vacancy level remained consistent at 31% at the end of 2016. Rental values also remained stable across all submarkets. Limited transaction activity on main streets; rentals remained stable. Retailers from food & beverage (F&B) and lifestyle categories preferred mixed-use developments to set up their retail outlets. Further, quick-service restaurants are looking for quality spaces on prime main streets such as S.G. Highway and Prahladnagar. Rentals maintained status-quo during the quarter.

Market Overview New supply deferred due to delays in construction. Of the approximately 2.7 msf of new mall supply scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter, approximately half has been deferred to the next couple of quarters, due to delays in construction. Further, the launch of select malls totaling 1.3 msf of space in Electronic City has been put on hold due to lack of demand from retailers. Vacancy rate marginally increased in Q4. Vacancy rate of malls increased to 12.5% at the end of the quarter, from 11.7% in the previous quarter. The increase was largely due to an electronics retailer s exit from a mall near CBD submarket. Rentals across all major locations remained steady in Q4 2016. Rentals across the city remained stable in the quarter in the absence of new supply and stable demand.

The organised retail space (malls) in India has seen high investment activity this year as investors are bullish about the prospects of this asset class, coupled with the opportunity to list retail assets under REITs. Retail Market Overview Lack of supply and steady momentum in leasing brings down vacancy rate. The city did not witness any new mall supply during the fourth quarter as the approximately 0.9 million square feet (msf) scheduled for completion in the current quarter was deferred to 2017. Malls witnessed steady leasing during the quarter led by apparels, food & beverage (F&B) and computer hardware segments. Therefore, the vacancy level declined by 0.7 percentage point to 7.6% at the end of the quarter. Leading international retailer, H&M, leased space in one of the prominent malls in the CBD. The Chocolate Room and Acer were some of the other brands that took up spaces in malls during the quarter. Apparel, accessories and electronics retailers drove demand for space in main streets. Main street locations of Velachery and Anna Nagar observed robust leasing, primarily by domestic brands such as Reliance Digital, Reliance Trends, Lenskart, Sting, and Limelite. Mall and main street rentals remained unchanged. Mall and main street rentals remained stable owing to limited leasing activity amidst low availability of quality spaces.

Addition of higher supply in the subsequent quarters, primarily in the peripheral locations, will drive the overall vacancy upwards. Mall rentals are likely to remain range-bound due to steady demand by retailers.

Market Overview Vacancy declines, no new supply infusion. Steady leasing by retailers amidst no new supply led to vacancy rate declining to 16% at the end of the quarter. Apparel and home décor retailers dominated leasing activity in malls with brands such as Yepme, Armani Exchange, Madame, and Casa Pop actively leasing space during the quarter. Mall rents remained stable across most submarkets. Mall rentals maintained status quo across all submarkets owing to steady demand from retailers. Despite witnessing significant interest from retailers, even prominent malls in South Delhi and Noida did not witness any change in the ongoing market rentals. Select main streets witness increase in rents. Most of the main street locations witnessed stable rents during the quarter owing to stable demand. However, DLF Galleria and Sector 29 in Gurgaon witnessed an increase of 6-11% in rentals over the previous quarter spurred by demand from retailers. Apparel, food & beverage (F&B) and beauty and healthcare retailers such as Kidsberry, Wrangler, Pantaloons, Keventers, Burger King, Taco Bell, Geetanjali Salon leased retail space across main streets during the quarter.

In October, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key price indicator of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for policy purposes, was seen at 4.2% - the lowest in 14 months on the back of lower food inflation. Consequently, there were expectations of a cut in the Repo Rate by the RBI in its policy revision in December, which however, did not take place given the slowdown in economic activity. According to the 2016 Global Retail Development Index, which ranks top 30 developing countries for retail investment worldwide, India has jumped 13 positions from last year to rank 2nd. The organised retail space (malls) in India has seen high investment activity this year as investors are bullish about the prospects of this asset class, coupled with the opportunity to list retail assets under REITs. Retail Market Overview No fresh mall supply during the quarter. Mall supply of nearly 1.5 msf, which was anticipated during the quarter, has been delayed by 6 to 12 months owing to construction delays. With this postponement, the city has not witnessed any new mall supply for nine consecutive quarters. Vacancy rate increased marginally due to a churn in tenants. Limited availability of quality space in malls led to subdued leasing activity during the quarter. The overall vacancy rate increased marginally to 4.6% at the end of the quarter, as a few retailers exited prominent malls in Madhapur and Kukatpally submarkets. Main streets are attracting higher leasing activity than malls. The F&B sector accounted for the highest share in leasing in main streets, drive-in formats and IT Parks during the quarter. Most of the F&B retailers preferred standalone spaces on main streets with large parking capacity, due to which, the main streets of Jubilee Hills, Gachibowli and Kothaguda witnessed higher leasing activity during the quarter. Some of the retailers that are expected to set up stores in main streets include KFC, Buffalo Wild Wings, Mamagoto, etc. Rentals continue to remain flat during the quarter. Limited availability of quality space in malls led to subdued leasing in malls, thereby keeping rentals flat during the quarter. Similarly, rentals remained stable in main streets as leasing was stable.

Despite a short-term blip caused by the recent currency demonetization, a normal monsoon season and impending pay hikes for government employees are likely to spur a recovery in consumer sentiments. In October, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key price indicator of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for policy purposes, was seen at 4.2% - the lowest in 14 months on the back of lower food inflation. Consequently, there were expectations of a cut in the Repo Rate by the RBI in its policy revision in December, which however, did not take place given the slowdown in economic activity. According to the 2016 Global Retail Development Index, which ranks top 30 developing countries for retail investment worldwide, India has jumped 13 positions from last year to rank 2nd. The organised retail space (malls) in India has seen high investment activity this year as investors are bullish about the prospects of this asset class, coupled with the opportunity to list retail assets under REITs. Market Overview Steady demand coupled with no supply leads to decline in vacancy. The city did not witness addition of any new mall during the quarter. Overall vacancy reduced by 0.5 percentage points and stood at 4.5% during the quarter due to moderate leasing activity. Leasing activity in malls was driven by apparel brands such as Arrow, Little Shop, Club SP (Satya Paul), Hush Puppies and Spencers in the hyper-market category during the quarter. Mall rents across all submarkets maintained status quo. Despite low availability, mall rentals across all submarkets remained stable during the quarter as transactions were executed at ongoing market rates. Malls witnessed an increase in enquiries for large spaces by departmental stores, which were planning to expand. However, these could not be executed due to limited availability of such large spaces in malls in the city. Main street rentals remained unchanged due to stable demand. Designer apparels, as well as beauty & wellness retailers such as Ritu Kumar and Cocktail Thai Spa were some of the retailers that leased spaces at main streets of Ballygunge and Elgin Road during the quarter.
