JEDDAH REAL ESTATE MARKET OVERVIEW

Q2 2016

JEDDAH MARKET SUMMARY Slow down in performance amid further project completions.

The combined effect of the economic slowdown and the entry of a number of completions stabilized office performance rates in Q2.

Villa and apartment sale prices have decreased compared to the previous year. While apartment rents continue to grow but at a slower rate.

Hotel vacancies decreased in Q2 but ADRs suffered less as the market appears close to bottom of its current cycle. Two hotel openings in Q2 provides positive news for project materialisation, but increased supply will create more competition amongst quality hotels.

Although further eff orts have been made towards addressing the shortage of affordable housing, a number of major projects (including those by Eskan and Salman Bay Housing) continue to experience delays.

With new supply entering the market over the last two quarters, retail rents remained stable in Q2. Although vacancy rat es decreased over the quarter, placing market

conditions in favor of landlords, the large amount of future supply and weaker demand (evidenced by the decline of POS transactions) is likely to keep rents stable for the time being. The easing of foreign investment into KSA, in accordance with the Saudi Vision 2030, is likely to support the performance of the retail sector in the long term. The diversification of the economy outlined in the 2030 Vision for KSA should have a positive impact on the Jeddah real estate over the longer term.

These positions are not necessarily representative of investment or development market prospects. It is important to recognise that markets move at different speeds depending on their maturity, size and economic conditions. Markets will not always move in a clockwise direction, they might move backwards or remain at the same point in their cycle for extended periods.

JEDDAH OFFICE MARKET SUMMARY SUPPLY Two office buildings entered the market in Q2: Al Amoudi Tower on Madinah Road and DARA Centre on Prince Sultan Street. The two buildings added just over 11,000 sq m of office space into the market bringing the total supply of office space to approximately 937,000 sq m. Emaar Square (24,000 sq m) is expected to complete later this year, the largest addition of quality office space since the Headquarters Business Park which added 75,000 sq m to the market in 2014.

HOT TOPIC Tenant downsizing: Some occupiers working on major infrastructure and construction projects such as the Haramain railway and the city sewage system, have downsized their operations and vacated space as these projects near completion.

PERFORMANCE The economic slowdown has ended the recent period of rental growth in the Jeddah office market. While average rents remained stable this quarter at SAR1,123,sq m. they have decreased marginally (by 1.5% over the past year). The vacancy rate has increased marginally (by 1% ) over Q2 to reach 6%, while Y-o-Y vacancies have remained stable.

Flight to quality: A number of tenants are talking advantage of softer market conditions to upgrade to better quality office space offering up to date facilities, Saudi Vision 2030: was announced in Apr il with a focus on economic diversification and attracting foreign investment. While unlikely to have a major immediate impact, this should increase demand for office space in Jeddah over the longer term as the market has traditionally relied on the construction and government sectors for demand.

JEDDAH RESIDENTIAL MARKET SUMMARY SUPPLY There have been no notable completions in Q2, with total supply remaining at approximately 796,000 residential units. The second half of the year is expected to see the completion of Abraj Al Hilal 2. A number of planned large scale residential developments, (eg Salman Bay), which were expected to enter the market in 2017, have now been delayed to 2018.

HOT TOPIC White Land Tax: the release of regulations in June represents a positive move that should spur further residential development as landowners and developers seek to avoid the tax burden. The expected increase in supply should also help lower land costs and the cost of housing in 2017 / 2018.

PERFORMANCE There was very little change in either rentals or sale prices in Q2 with rentals for both apartments and villas increasing by just 1%. Over the past year, rentals for villas increased by 2.5%, while apartment rents continued to increase, but at a slower pace of 4% .

Increasing the LVR: from 70% to 85% has yet to spur demand for residential sales as sale prices have continued to fall and demand remains soft. Data from the Ministry of Justice shows a decrease of almost 9% in the number of residential transactions YT May.

Sale prices continued to decline marginally over the quarter (by 1% for villas and 2.3% for apartments). Y-o-Y villa and apartment sale prices decreased at around the same rate of 4% and -5% respectively.

JEDDAH RETAIL MARKET SUMMARY SUPPLY A total of 14,000 sq m entered the market in Q2 with the expansion of the Alandalus Mall. A further 42,000 sq m of retail space is due for completion in 2016, including the 20,000 sq m expansion of the existing Red Sea Mall. Most of the future supply is located in the East, West and North of the city away from the traditional shopping district of Tahlia Street, with the exception of Jeddah Park.

HOT TOPIC Less restrictions on foreign investment: The Council of Ministers approved the relaxation of foreign ownership controls from 75% to 100% of retail businesses in June.

PERFORMANCE Retail rents have seen little change during Q2, falling by less than 1% in both regional and super regional centres. Over the year, super regional and regional centres have seen rental increases of 15% and 5% respectively. Vacancies have decreased over Q2 to approximately 7%, as new supply continues to be absorbed.

This announcement is in line with the Saudi 2030 Vision to increase foreign investment in the Kingdom. The first license, was issued under the new regulations in June to Dow Chemicals. Easier entry should encourage more international retailers to enter the market, which will assist in absorbing the upcoming supply. Point of sales transactions: according to the latest data from SAMA, the number of point of sales transactions (POS) decreased by around 1% Q-o-Q, and the value of point of sales decreased by almost 7%.

JEDDAH HOTEL MARKET SUMMARY

HOT TOPIC

PERFORMANCE YT May occupancy rates have decreased by around 5% to 69% when compared to the same period last year.

SUPPLY The second quarter of 2016 saw the opening of the Sofitel Corniche (191 keys), formerly the Westin Hotel, and the Ramada Corniche (165 keys) in the midscale segment.

ADRs have suffered less and maintained their levels slightly above USD 240 over the first five months of the year, reinforcing Jeddah’s position as the most expensive market in the Region.

These completions bring the total supply to approximately 9,000 keys, with around 1,500 hotel rooms. Scheduled to complete later in the year

Increased competition: A significant amount of new supply has opened over the past 18 months, attracted by the strong performance of the Jeddah market. Most of these new entrants are concentrated in the 5 star category; increasing competition in the upscale segment where product differentiation will become an increasingly crucial success factor. The serviced apartment sector has experienced significant growth in Jeddah with Ascott opening three properties within a few months. This brings higher quality supply to a market that previously comprised mostly unbranded and locally managed properties.
