Investment Thesis - Australia • Current strategy of owning high quality assets in North America’s most dynamic markets can be effectively deployed in select development economies around the world • Expansion to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in Australia will generate more stable and growing returns than new and existing North American markets • The Australian economy is poised for greater growth than North American economies • Typical Australian office lease contracts have 3% to 4% annual fixed rent step-ups • Tenant synergies can be leveraged in other gateway cities in developed countries such as Australia
2011 Office Outlook in United States Status • Fundamentals have bottomed in most markets and are improving in top markets (i.e. NYC, Washington, D.C.) • Credit availability improving with a favorable interest rate environment • Capital targeting trophy assets in top markets • Cap rate levels in select markets approaching 2007 pricing levels • Resolution process for complex capital structures coupled with favorable monetary policy, has delayed opportunities hitting the market • Lack of new construction and well-leased properties will help speed recovery Opportunities • Over $500 billion of loans on over-leveraged properties are expected to roll over the next few years as regional banks and others sort through under-collateralized loans • Unlisted funds and investment sponsors will seek liquidity to de-lever as loans mature New York
2011 Office Outlook in Canada Status • Occupancy in Canadian office market has remained steady, some pressure in Calgary due to over supply issues • The Canadian “AA” real estate market is dominated by a limited group of large pension fund owners • Quality product remains scarce • Capitalization rates continue to compress due to scarcity of product and the health of equity and debt markets Opportunities • Pension funds looking to divest their portfolio from Canada to invest offshore Toronto
2011 Office Outlook in Australia Status • Australia avoided a technical recession and is the strongest economy of the developed countries • CBD office markets are in recovery phase, driven by growth in economy and white-collar employment • Occupancy, rents and yields improving • Debt availability is improving, although at rates 300 bps higher than North America Opportunities • Post global financial crisis strategic shifts in capital allocation (ie: retrenchment to "pure play" and "home field") augers well for investment activity • Banks becoming motivated to sell as appetite has returned to investment markets Sydney
2011 Office Outlook in United Kingdom Status • Concern over second bubble growing as rate of recovery happened too much, too fast • Yet competition for prime assets from new market entrants (ex: National Pension Service of Korea and Norway Pension Fund) has compressed cap rates • £140 billion (50% of total outstanding) of UK commercial property debt is maturing before the end of 2012 Opportunities • Banks need to shrink their exposure and will eventually have to sell. Scottish and Irish banks under the greatest pressure • LTV breaches are endemic, but with terms stretching to 2012, holders are clinging on and seeking extensions • Concern over a second bubble starting to be reflected in the equity and derivatives markets London
