Renewed Anxieties Downgrade of growth expectations Eurozone debt threatening banking stability Loss of faith in policy-makers Capacity for action – what tools left? Political divisions and obstacles Fall in business and consumer confidence Rise in investment risk aversion
Eurozone GDP Growth Alternative forecasts Source: Oxford Economics Real GDP Growth (%) Forecasts
“Muddling through” Euro debt crisis contained, but with recurrent stress points Fiscal austerity curbs growth Monetary policy stimulus maintained Deleveraging continues Consumers under pressure Gradual pick-up in business investment Overall slow growth with wide divergences in country performance
European Real Estate: Outlook Summary Slow growth environment Subdued occupier demand – cost-sensitive Rental growth limited - mainly prime space where in short supply Development restrained Debt market constraints Major refinancing needs Banks more active in managing loans Limited new lending – low risk Investor bias to larger, liquid markets Continued polarisation between prime and secondary Prime properties stable/improving with competition for core stock Good secondary in stronger markets - opportunity Concern for poorer secondary/tertiary stock – yields to soften further
China Matters: What are the real estate opportunities? Real Estate Breakfast Seminar London, September 2011 Amy L. Sommers, Partner K&L Gates - Shanghai
Topics: • 2025: Planning for China’s built environment • Urban planning 2001 to 2011: Xintiandi as a case study • Gov’t policy aims and concerns: where the next opportunities may lie
Past Decade: Urban re-development has been a key driver Improving housing stock Upgrading lifestyle from socialist, planned housing to market-driven, invested-oriented housing Next Decade: Widening to Tier 2 and 3 cities Linking cities/regions through infrastructure (transport/energy) Demographically-driven opportunities Real Estate Development in China
Red China …or Grey? • “China’s demographic challenges are captured neatly in the popular saying that the country “will grow old before it grows rich.” China will start going grey some time this decade, and the process will accelerate after 2020. • “ By 2030, China is projected to have more than 300 million citizens beyond retirement age. This will present what the Chinese call a “4-2-1” problem: a single child with two parents and four grandparents to care for. • “Given the significant burdens this will impose, the government is already looking at ways to better fund healthcare. Beijing allocated $124 billion last year for healthcare reform, aiming for basic universal health coverage in the coming years.” • Source: http://docs.eurasiagroup.net/chinaoutlook.pdf
Past Decade - Urban Redevelopment: Re-imagining Old Shanghai - Xintiandi
Xintiandi - completed 2001 • Lifestyle project in central Shanghai • Based on re-imagined use of vernacular structures
Xintiandi site in 1998 • At the time many considered China too poor/unsophisticated - project was doomed to fail or to attract only expatriates
Xintiandi - 10th Anniversary Huge success - in 5 yrs will double to 1.2M SQM Lesson: Predicting what will be popular in China is a mystery…
Demographics & policy: key drivers in China’s real estate sector
Improvement of services at grass-roots level: including support for the development of 2000 county-level hospitals; construction or expansion of 3700 urban community health care centers and 11,000 community heath care stations within three years. China’s Healthcare Aims - an example of how policy can drive development…
Opportunities & Pressures • Obviously, these forecasts for urbanization spell potential opportunities for all sorts of stakeholders, such as: • makers of transit system equipment • architects/designers/engineering services, building/construction material providers • suppliers of energy and energy infrastructure • health care/aged care
China’s 12th Five-Year Plan • Proposed by the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee in 10/10, adopted by National People’s Congress in 3/11 • 7 “Strategic Emerging Industries” have been identified and are focused on health care, energy, technology sectors • Focus is on ‘inclusive growth’ of the economy, which will take the form of social benefits (health care), improved living standards (environmental concerns such as clean energy), and value-added industries (growth in R&D facilities)
Implications for the built environment • Implementation of the aims articulated in the 12th FYP will involve development of China’s built environment, e.g.: • construction of hospital facilities • Water treatment facilities, power transmission systems, development of energy-efficient buildings • R&D activities in IT and other areas will require suitable facilities and these users will require housing/amenities for associated workers Source:http://apcoworldwideinc.com/Content/PDFs/Chinas_12th_Five-Year_Plan.pdf
Opportunities & Pressures • What about pressures? • Power generation: 700 - 900 gigawatts of new coal-fired power capacity will be constructed from 2005-2025 • Arable land supply is diminishing – worst case, 20% decline • Inadequate supplies of potable water – today, 59% of China’s river water is below international standards for potability Concerns re overheating of real property sector mean that whether foreign-invested real estate projects will obtain needed approvals will be driven in part by whether their organization’s projects/services will (a) help address or redress these pressures or (b) to achieve FYP goals
Contradictions betw/ national & local govts abound: Nat’l govt banned construction of new golf courses in ‘04 June 20: People’s Daily reported over 400 golf courses have been constructed since 2004 How? Often by registration as sports parks, recreational parks and forestation areas "Some local governments have undertaken such programs in an effort to to boost their economies. So they register the clubs under different classifications, and the local government turns a blind eye on farmland and forest acquisition.”* *Yan Jinming, vice-president of the School for Public Administration at Renmin University Opportunities & Pressures (cont)
