MARKET INSIGHTS
March 18, 2019
Executive Summary
• Real Estate Values seen all-time highs across all sectors in 2019. We have seen the highest land value in Bonifacio
Global City at PhP 1.3M per sqm and the highest condominium price at PhP 540K per sqm in Shang at The Fort.
• Offices at Bay and Alabang still enjoy the lowest vacancy rate at 1% -- translating to record rental rates with
PhP1.2K/sqm/month in the Bay and PhP 750/sqm/month in Alabang. Makati City and Bonifacio Global City will
have very low supply of office space by 2021.
• There is only 216k sqm of PEZA accredited space so far this year in Metro Manila against forecast demand of 450K sqm
from the IT-BPM industry – this deficit will be the biggest hurdle for growth in IT-BPM expansion – there are 29
buildings (totaling 544K sqm of vacant office space) under PEZA application across Metro Manila. LPC pleads for the
government to approve more PEZA zones in Metro Manila and across the Philippines. Quezon City has the largest
supply of PEZA Accredited space from now until 2023.
• The Philippines has recorded more than 200K sqm of office demand as of 1Q 2019. The IT-BPM industry led the Philippine
office demand with 115K sqm or 56% of the 1Q 2019 take-up followed by the Offshore Gaming industry with 36K sqm.
With Metro Manila making 92% (187K sqm) of that demand. Regional districts have started strong with Clark, Tarlac,
and Davao leading the provincial sites.
• Boom in warehousing demand in the logistics market attributed to the 226,000 sqm requirement of warehouse space
needed by Online retailers.
• There is a surge in Mainland Chinese buyers in the residential condominium sector and we anticipate for this to
continue for the long term especially with rekindled diplomatic ties between Philippines and China
• Chinese tourists are now using mobile payments such as WeChat Pay and Alipay all over the world; 93% of Chinese tourists
would increase their spending if mobile payments are made available.

Metro Manila Demand Activity
Industry | District (As of 1Q 2019)
1Q 2019 Metro Manila Demand Activity is now at 187,000 sqm, or about 15% of FY 2018 Demand Activity -- We are optimistic in our
FY 2019 demand forecast to reach 1.2M sqm.
The IT-BPM industry led the office take-up for 1Q 2019 with 102,000 sqm or 54% of the 2019 take-up followed by the Offshore
Gaming industry with 37,000 sqm take-up. The other notable industry is the Flexible Workspace with 5,000 sqm take-up.
Quezon City remains the top location for the IT-BPM industry due to its high supply of PEZA space. It will be the go-to district for
IT-BPM expansions in 2019. The Offshore Gaming industry still chooses the Bay City as their preferred location.

Regional Office Supply
Pampanga, Cebu, and Davao - Current vs. Pipeline Supply
Cebu, Davao, and Pampanga are the major business districts outside Metro Manila contributing about 2.4M sqm of office to the
Philippine Supply. Cebu leads the supply of office space outside Metro Manila with more than 1M sqm of office supply with only 57,000
sqm of vacant space available, but we expect Clark to provide supply within the next five years to rival that of Cebu.

Real Estate Values seen all-time highs across all sectors in 2019. We have seen the highest land value in Bonifacio Global City at
PhP 1.3M per sqm and the highest condominium price at PhP 540K per sqm in Shang at The Fort.
The Growing Tourist Market (7.1 Million Tourists in 2018) has led to record high prices in tourist hotspots nationwide.
Industrial Land values hit highs due to scarcity of supply, especially in the Greater Metro Manila Area.
Luxury Village Properties continue to be a strong and steady investment option given the limited supply. Dasmarinas Village leads the
way commanding up to 450,000 per sqm. Golf Shares also ride land values to all time high share prices. Luxury Condominiums also see
record high prices, with the poshest condominiums priced at over half a million pesos per sqm.

Inventory Analysis
Project Performance by location in Metro Manila
Mainland China buyers have preference for CBD districts, near schools & support commercial retail and near Chinese communities or locations
where there are already existing Chinese (Usually takes up 20% to 45% of foreign buyers)
Assuming with a constant aggregate take-up of 7,757 units, the remaining inventory will be depleted in 3 months
Shang at The Fort (Horizon Homes) has seen the most expensive condominium price at PhP 540K per sqm. Sustained demand
amidst limited supply of condominiums in Makati enabled prices to an all-time high of PhP 533,000/sqm due to growing affluent
market
Residential condominium buyers are mostly Investors rentals for BPO and POGO market and Professionals for End-use
Mainland Chinese make up the largest share of foreign buyers for investment purposes
Developers may start to have a focus group targeting Chinese market and look for Chinese developers as partners

High rental growth rates in Bay and Alabang are driven by Chinese workers from offshore gaming customers and mainland Chinese
who frequent brick and mortar casinos compared to Non-POGO tenants in Makati and BGC
