Leasing Activities The market condition of the Jakarta rental apartment sector has been quite stable despite the anticipated slowing down during the fasting month in August. Surprisingly, by the end of 3rd quarter 2011 the rental apartment market has rebounded from a dip in occupancy during the month in August. Also, with the current economic growth rate of 6.6%, demand and rental rates remained intact with the previous quarter robustness. In this quarter, we continue to see demand being driven by foreigners mainly from the Asia region such as Japan, Korea, China, and India. Others came from the Western counterparts such as USA, Australia and Europe. With 57% of the demand coming in from foreigners and only 43% from the locals, we can see that foreigners still drive the rental apartment market.

Compared to 2nd quarter figure, the occupancy rate has only declined by about 0.1% for both of these sub-sectors though in August, occupancy rate of the service apartment sub-sector had hit in the range of 50%-60% for most developments. By successfully locking a long-term lease (ranging between 3-12 months), most purposely build rental apartment enjoys a smooth ride during the quiet period of Ramadan. In fact, some renowned area amongst expatriates including Senayan and Pondok Indah sustained a higher occupancy rate compared to last quarter’s figure. For the service apartment sub-sector, the demand dipped during the August period but has since recovered by the end of this 3rd quarter. Foreigners continue to dictate this market with 72% share of the total demand. Again majority of foreigner’s demand comes from Japan, Korea, China and United States. Occupancy rate in the condominium for lease sub-sector has experienced a decrease by 1.6% QoQ. This drop of occupancy is mainly cause by a substantial number of supplies of condominiums entering the market in this 3rd quarter. On top of that, the earlier completed condominiums developments started to enter the leasing market as condominium’s owners have completed their fitting out and are ready to lease their unit back to the market. Among the three sub-sectors, the condominium for lease sub-sector has the least number of expatriates of about 52% from the total demand in this market. JAKARTA RENTAL APARTMENT REPORT 3Q11

Rental Grow th
By the end of 3rd quarter, market has shown an increase in rental rates for the three sub-sectors of rental apartment. The overall increase in rental rates is approximately 2.7% QoQ bringing the per sm rate to Rp 159,495. It is important to note that most of the rental rates are quoted in USD especially in the service apartment and purposely build rental apartment market. The weakening of Rupiah against the USD creates the illusion of a higher rental rate, while in dollar term it stayed the same.
RENTAL RATE IN JAKARTA
Looking from the micro level of each individual sub-sector, there is an overall increase in rental rates for the condominium for lease sub-sector. The depreciation of Rupiah against the USD induced many private condominium owners to increase their rental price to keep up with the true value of USD as most rates are quoted in Rupiah. Comparing with the 2nd quarter figure, the increase in rental rates was approximately 2.1%, which brought the per sm rate to Rp 127,784. In the service apartment and purposely build rental apartment market, rental rates remain stable with no real price increase. The decrease shown SUBon the “Rental Rate in Jakarta” graph is caused by the use of Rupiah SECTOR in some of the older developments. This corresponds with a lower cost in PB USD terms. Rental

Overall, by the end of 3 quarter 2011, the rental apartment market had recovered its occupancy from the quiet fasting period in August. Looking ahead, the strong positive growth rate in Indonesia as well as the stable economy will further attract foreign companies, hence higher number of expatriates. With lots of supply coming in from the condominium for lease sub-sector by year end, competition in the rental apartment market will intensify with tenants having more options to choose their residency.
