• Insight into Malaysia Corporate Asset

     

    Office transactions were rather quiet in 2016 with six office buildings sold for a total value of RM818 million. The investment market has been equally inactive in 2017, with only four office building transactions, although these aggregated a higher total investment amount of about RM1.4 billion.

     

    The four transactions recorded during the year concerned the sale of The Ascent @ Paradigm, bought by EPF from Jelas Puri Sdn Bhd for RM321 million, Menara Prudential, bought by KL 33 Sdn Bhd from OCBC Properties (M) Sdn Bhd for RM125 million, Wisma Selangor Dredging, bought by Golden Eagle Realty Sdn Bhd from Selangor Dredging Bhd for RM480 million, and Vista Tower, bought by AmanahRaya REIT from BlackRock Inc. for RM430 million

  • Major Office Building Transactions

    broken image

    Most of the high-quality office space in KL were transacted in the range of RM1,000-1,200 per sq. ft.. However, there were two prominent office buildings sold for more than RM1,200 per sq. ft., i.e. Integra Tower (in 2015) and Platinum Sentral (in 2014). High-grade office buildings with high occupancy rates in KL are always attracting local buyers, including institutions, REITs and private buyers.

    2007 Major Transactions

    2007 was a landmark year as far as major transactions are concerned. The most significant benchmark cases were the Icon and Menara Glomac transactions which were investment fund-led but without prelets in sight. In each case, it was the Kuwaiti Finance House which inked the deal and the commercial space market is now quoting prices of RM1,120 per sq ft as a result. Yields have been compressed but in the case of the Menara Bumiputra-Commerce we do not see a benchmark as it is below 5% with little built in rental growth. Already 2008 looks like continuing this trend although we are not sure the price of RM1,120 will be surpassed.

    2008 Major Transactions

    There were four major transactions of office buildings in the 2H 2008, namely Menara Citibank, Kenanga International building and Menara Standard Chartered located in Kuala Lumpur, and CP Tower in Petaling Jaya. During the 4Q of 2008, however, two major office transactions were aborted. First of all, the sale of Menara Citibank to IOI Corporation Berhad was cancelled by the purchaser in November with the effect of economic slowdown being given as the reason. Secondly, the sale of the Kenanga International building to Tower REIT was rescinded in December when certain condition precedents were not met. Meanwhile, Menara Standard Chartered was sold by Reco City Sdn Bhd (affiliate of GIC Real Estate Pte Ltd) to ING Insurance Bhd in November. In December, PHBB (Pelaburan Hartanah Bumiputera Bhd) bought CP Tower from CIMB-Mapletree.

    The Malaysian real estate investment market ended 2009 on a strong note with a surge in activity in the final two months of the year. Throughout the year there were a total of 13 major transactions of office buildings in the Klang Valley with a total transaction value of RM1.789 billion. Also significant was the sale and leaseback of the CIMB group’s branches and offices nationwide to the Employee’s Provident Fund for a total consideration of RM302.45 million. By year nd, a number of local and overseas funds had re-entered the market and we foresee continued strong interest in acquiring high quality office assets.

  • Supply & Demand

    The existing supply of office space in Greater KL stood at 119.2 million sq. ft. of net lettable area (NLA) as at Q3/2017. Existing supply has grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% over the past 12 years, with an average annual addition of 4.53 million sq. ft.. Out of the total office supply, 38.4% or 45.8 million sq. ft. is located in KL City, followed by KL Suburban areas (31.5% or 37.6 million sq. ft.), and outer KL (30.0% or 35.8 million sq. ft.).

     

    KL Suburban saw the emergence of new office locations such as Mid Valley City, KL Sentral and Bangsar in the last decade, offering better quality buildings than the aged office supply in Damansara Heights. Meanwhile, in Selangor, most of the office developments are located in Petaling Jaya (PJ), followed by the north of PJ such as Damansara Utama, Bandar Utama, Mutiara Damansara and Damansara Perdana. New office completions in 2017 were mostly located in KL Suburban and Selangor, followed by KL City with a combined total new office space of 3.78 million sq. ft.. Some of the prominent office buildings include Menara Public Bank 2, Menara Suezcap 1 @ KL Gateway, The Vertical Corporate Tower B, Pillars 12 @ KL Eco City and Pinnacle PJ.
