OVERALL SUMMARY REAL ESTATE MARKETS
RETAIL
Shopping centres that are dominant in a stable and / or developing catchment area provide an excellent opportunity to increase rental and value growth by active management. The occupancy rate of efficiently functioning shopping centres remains consistently high, but nevertheless endures an increasing pressure.
The investment volume in shopping centres in Belgium over the first semester was very high. Demand for this type of property by institutional investors (European as well as non-European) remains high.
The interest for space from retailers remains focused on prime locations. In general, rent pressure increases. Both the realized turnover of tenants as the number of visitors of shopping centres remains stable to slightly decreasing.
The (future) consumer's spending habits will also be determined by the internet and social media. These trends, which are closely followed, will surely change the future retail landscape.
OFFICESThe investment volume in this real estate segment remains low; the yields for well-located and leased office buildings remain stable.
The rental market remains difficult; older buildings are exchanged for new, sustainable, usually with a lower take-up. This mostly has to do with a more efficient way of utilization of surface and a limited work area per employee.
