INDUSTRIAL EDITION
INTRODUCTION
In an era of historically low interest rates and yields: the comparatively higher returns offered by Australian industrial and logistics assets lured steady investment volumes. Indeed the demand for core and core plus assets imposed downward pressure on transaction yields. Offshore investors increased their share of activity in the financial year, representing 29 per cent of the investment volume. Driven by a mandate to match or offset liabilities, investors from the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 66 per cent of this offshore investment. This was unsurprising given the outperforming risk-adjusted returns offered by Australian industrial and logistics assets.
In a bid to reduce transaction costs and achieve instant scale, multi-asset acquisitions have remained at the fore. Ascendas became one of the region’s largest industrial and logistics owners with the purchase of the GIC logistics portfolio. This was the largest industrial transaction seen in the Asia-Pacific. It comprised of 26 assets which sold for a total of $1.073 billion, at a fully-leased yield of 6.1 per cent. The consolidation theme was substantial in the FYE2016, with portfolio sales accounting for over 33 per cent of sales in the sector.
Investment volumes were underscored by a confidence in the domestic economic fundamentals, robust leasing conditions, and a substantial infrastructure pipeline. Over $99 billion of public spending has been committed to transportation infrastructure projects in the forthcoming four years. In the sector where real estate and infrastructure meet, these new projects will have a profound impact on the value of existing assets; while unlocking new markets.
Meanwhile, Australia’s transition to a service based economy has taken strides in the past two years. The higher utilisation of labour in a service industry will undoubtedly benefit the logistics sector. Among other factors, the anticipated softer local dollar will galvanise inbound tourism, education and export quantities. Online spending continued to climb in line with the increased penetration of smartphones, tablets and other digital platforms too. Although recent retail spending growth was somewhat truncated by lower fuel prices and the intensified competition between supermarkets; upside influences are expected from a vastly improved labour market and accommodative interest rate. Most significantly, though, the recent strength in GDP growth results have caused an upward revision in growth forecasts.
We welcome you to this year’s Capital Markets Industrial Investment Review and look forward to assisting you with your Industrial and Logistics requirements.

It was another phenomenal year in investment volumes for the Industrial and Logistics sector. Following on from the the tide of investment materialising in early 2014, over $7.64 billion in sales occurred nationally over the financial year ending (FYE) 2016. In this period over 424 assets sold. Sales in the last two years have been over twice the 10-year-average of $3.7 billion per annum. Somewhat symptomatic of the intensity of demand and the weighting towards prime assets traded, the average transactional cap rate firmed by 64bps; occurring at 7.32 per cent in the financial year.

In recent years the Australian economy ran an asymmetric economic course against its major foreign counterparts. By comparison, Australia’s economic growth has followed a relatively robust path in past decade.
This divergent growth path underlies its appeal. Investors look to Australian assets as a conduit to offset or match liabilities. In a world of low rates and returns: Australia's industrial and logistics assets offered a prepossessing proposition.
Australian industrial assets provided return starved investors with an excelling return. In the past three years, prime industrial assets have yielded a total annual return of 13.2 per cent - comparatively higher than prime office and prime retail assets: with respective annual returns of 11.7 per cent and 10.8 per cent.

Australian cities headed the most popular destinations for inbound industrial and logistics investment in the Asia Pacific region - representing half of the top 10 positions. Indeed, Australia's shift from the old engines of mining dependent growth to the new engines of service based growth has gathered momentum. Reflecting this, investment volumes have followed economy activity towards the east coast: Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

INDUSTRIAL EDITION
THE TECH DISRUPTIONIn cities like Sydney and Melbourne, which have undergone a surge in residential values, industrial assets have been forced out of urbanised areas. Nonetheless, the impact of technology, changes in consumption habits, infrastructure development and population growth are shifting the nature of demand from industrial assets. The advent of shorter delivery times has escalated the demand for last mile fulfilment centres. The growth in e-retailing, moreover, has forced the adaptation of modern warehousing across the entire supply chain. These factors are now driving a divergence in asset pricing.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE EVOLUTION Land constraints have begun to materialise in certain markets, causing constraints to development pipelines. The requirement for infrastructure development has never been more important: unlocking new areas and while causing an uplift in existing ones. Now, though, historically low interest rates are funding historically high levels of infrastructure development. There is above $99.4 billion in public spending committed to transportation infrastructure projects over the forthcoming four years. The transportation trepidations that once stalked the logistics market are now being addressed. In addition, the implicit uplift in existing assets are being realised.

ECONOMIC UPDATE The Australian economy has so
far dispelled fears on its ability to emerge from the end of its largest ever mining boom. In the past year the Australian economy has gained impetus by following a higher growth path. According to the latest ABS figures, the economy grew at the strongest rate in 3.5 years, outpacing its global counterparts. Australia has now undergone 20 consecutive quarters of positive growth. Most significantly, the last time Australia experienced a technical recession was over 25 years ago - a streak second only to Netherlands. The national unemployment rate, moreover, has dropped to its lowest point in 2.5 years. This was underscored by a confluence in larger commodity export volumes and a softer dollar encouraging growth in the non-mining sector.
Indeed economic activity has shifted to the east coast, with New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria (VIC) doing much of the heavy lifting. The commodity based economies have faced headwinds created by the legacy of the resource boom. NSW and VIC have demonstrated strong economic, employment and retail growth in the past year.

providing 0.4 per cent to the quarter’s impressive 1.1 per cent growth. Meanwhile, Australia’s household savings ratio has trended downwards in the past two years, falling from 9.5 to 8.1. Indeed the recent strength in growth and employment results will likely feed additional growth in consumption. Notwithstanding this, retail turnover growth has been progressed at a modest rate of 3.6 per cent for the year. These figures were however dampened by low fuel prices and increased price competition among major supermarkets. Food retailing is the largest component of retail turnover, accounting for over 40 per cent of national turnover volumes. This was evident in the latest CPI results, where price deflation was experienced in transportation and food & non-alcoholic beverages categories.
The local dollar, once an anchor to the manufacturing sector, will now act as a catalyst. This net export contribution will be a key ingredient in Australia’s forthcoming economic and employment growth.
Household consumption was the strongest contributor to Q1 2016 GDP,

The economy navigated some challenging conditions coming into the year. The equities market has now recovered from its stumble into 2016 and resource prices have recovered from their lows late last year. Most important, Australia’s greatest trading partner, China, has undergone a relatively soft landing. Impacts from China’s shift to a consumption based economy was felt as it fuelled growth in Australia’s agricultural, tourism and pharmaceutical sectors.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) recently flexed its easing bias with a mandate to manage inflationary pressures. The cash rate was cut once in the fiscal year, at the May monetary policy meeting - to a record low of 1.75 per cent. This was in response to a weak Q1 inflation result and a stubbornly high Australian dollar. Despite the strong GDP performance, the RBA’s May interest rate decision reaffirmed its priority toward maintaining its inflation target. Nonetheless, the RBA now has an opportunity revise up its growth forecasts. Since the cut, the local dollar reached a low of US$0.72 cents before bouncing back to the US$0.75 cent mark. Further depreciation is expected once the US Federal Reserve embarks on its long anticipated federal rate hikes. If this process is postponed, the RBA will likely employ further cuts to soften the local dollar. This will no doubt provide a boost to local services and goods exports.

NATIONAL VOLUMES It was another remarkable year
in industrial sales, with over $7.64 billion of in investment sales recorded. Coming in less than one per cent below the volume recorded last financial year; it was more than double the highs seen in 2007-08 financial year. Indeed transaction activity reflected the economic shift towards the east coast of Australia, with volumes concentrated in NSW and VIC. Since the 2010-11 fiscal year, NSW and VIC have increased their proportion of total sales, accounting for 78 per cent of the sales volume in the last year.
In the 2015-16FY a total of 424 industrial properties were sold, slightly below than the 426 in the preceding financial year. However, still well above the 10-year-average of 212 sales per annum. The rally of industrial sales in NSW has been quite staggering. In the past two years, with NSW accounting for 519 out of the 850 investment sales nationwide.

CAP RATES The average industrial cap rate fell below the
record levels experienced in the 2007-08FY. The average cap rate transacted in the last financial year was 7.32 per cent, one basis point below that in the 2007-08FY. This was unsurprising given the sheer weight of capital and demand for robust income. Like last year, cap compression was experienced

Sellers The seller group was more saturated with the high level
of prices luring a broader range of owners to market. Over 156 different sellers brought their properties to market in the financial year. Australia's largest industrial real estate operating company, Goodman, were the largest seller in the fiscal year: selling 21 assets to the value of $1.38 billion. Given the prevailing level of prices, owner occupiers capitalised on conditions by selling their assets too. Corporates were the second largest net disposers, with over $1.6 billion in sales in the fiscal year.

OFFSHORE PARTICIPATION Offshore buyers increased their
footprint into the Australian industrial and logistics market in the financial year. Enticed by the healthy returns and regulatory confidence in Australian assets: the offshore component of sales volume last year increased to 29 per cent; from 11 per cent in the FYE2016. Notably, however, the GIC portfolio sale to Ascendas made up 56 per cent of this volume. At the same time, the offshore value of sales would likely be understated given the sizable levels of offshore capital being deployed via domestic operators.

ANALYSING THE CYCLE Since 2007 over 41 industrial assets have been purchased
and re-sold. In this period, these properties achieved an average re-sale premium of 10.03 per cent per annum. Unsurprisingly, the largest capital appreciation were in properties offering longer WALE terms.
The upper per centile of these cases were occurrences at which owner-occupiers capitalised on current sales conditions and exercised sale-and-leaseback options. In other instances assets bundled into portfolio sales also received premium values.

INDUSTRIAL EDITION
Given the comparatively healthy returns offered by Australian industrial assets, we anticipate yields to decline further, albeit at a moderated pace. Additionally, volumes will likely be aligned to economic fundamentals with the pursuit of assets along the south eastern seaboard to endure. Opportunities will nonetheless emerge in the recovering states of QLD, SA and WA. We anticipate the demand from offshore purchasers will rise in the near term. Firstly, in this global low rate environment the flattening long-run-yield curves will highlight the outperforming returns offered by Australian core industrial assets. Secondly, the anticipated US federal rate hike is now looking less likely. As such, investors will revisit their capital deployment mandates. Finally, Australia’s comparatively strong economic; and entailed employment and retail turnover will assure investors. Thus, looking forward, the demand for Australia’s industrial and logistics assets will remain in vogue.
Keeping up with this demand is proving increasingly difficult. Traditionally owners had the option of building an asset or acquiring it. The latter has become ever more challenging. More recently, the number of prime assets coming to market has notably slowed. Further compounding this decline in stock: the pipeline remains relatively constrained too. This is in part due to the lack of, well-located, developable land. The record levels of transportation infrastructure development will help unravel these constraints, though. This will shift a focus to land opportunities. Appreciation in land values has already transpired in certain markets within Sydney and Melbourne – with similar trends expected elsewhere.
New properties will need to be developed with technology at the fore. The modern era of disruptive technologies, if ignored, will cast a new set of obsolescence risks for assets. Notwithstanding this, these same technologies present opportunities for owners to gain efficiencies, reduce costs and implicitly increase the value of their properties. Looking forward, an increasing number of larger-sized industrial properties will become automated. Meanwhile, smaller-sized assets located near the city-fringe, constrained markets, will be targeted for last-mile-fulfillment. Indeed the advent of dark-supermarkets, predictive analytics and mobile technologies will have profound effects on investment activity in the coming years.

We have seen solid capital growth in every sector, increases in market rents across most precincts, prolonged investor confidence through broader expansionary economic conditions and wider infrastructure spending, and tenant retention (with many instances of expansionary requirements).
The increased focus on the distribution and logistics sectors has continued, and will continue to do so. As such, the drivers in the national industrial sector for the foreseeable future will remain centric to the efficient movement of goods.
From a valuation and investment perspective this has resulted in a prolonged compressionary environment, and continued pressure on investment hurdles, namely core capitalisation rates and Internal Rates of Return (IRR’s). The well-publicised ‘lower for longer’ concepts now seem deep set in the investor mindset. Such has resulted in a renewed focus on valuation methodologies, and the integrity of inputs and assumptions within Discounted Cash Flow analysis (‘DCF’).
With IRR’s now firmly in the spotlight, intra cash flow capital expenditure and asset lifecycle costing has become integral in engineering a firm case to both the valuation quantum, and the resultant investment hurdle rates displayed as a result.
With laser focus from investors over sustainable returns throughout the chosen investment horizon, terminal values and terminal capitalisation rates are now scrutinised by market participants, notwithstanding the positive outlook on values. Terminal value assumptions have a material impact on valuation metrics. Such a focus on terminal assumptions has typically been witnessed in contractionary environments, however we consider it heartening to see wider analysis in this regard, further cementing the notions of ‘lower for longer’ for the sector.
Looking forward, we consider the current environment of tighter returns will remain throughout 2016 and into 2017. Whilst this is positive for those already in the market, such conditions are making it increasingly difficult for entry into the market. These barriers to entry are further compounded
VALUATION OUTLOOKby the number of market participants, creating competitive tension in open market situations, particularly in portfolio acquisitions where we have seen an almost unprecedented level of activity in recent times. Portfolio acquisitions provide prospective purchasers comparatively rare opportunities The preceding 24 month period witnessed
continued strengthening in all market sectors. Favourable economic conditions and overall market confidence has been the primary contributor to such conditions, however microeconomic and sector specific influences have also contributed to the strength in the national industrial markets.

to acquire scale in the industrial sector, and as a result, have been hotly contested.
With a foreseeable low interest rate environment, solid capital inflows nationally, a positive rental story in most subsectors and a healthy depth of market participants both
locally and internationally, we have confidence that the health of the wider industrial investment sector will continue. Market activity will be limited to available investment grade opportunities going forward. Should prime grade stock become limited, we see some risk of investors heading up the risk curve with the acquisition of lower grade assets.
Drivers in the national industrial sector for the foreseeable
future will remain centric to the efficient movement of goods.

NEW SOUTH WALESBy Sas Liyanage Research Analyst, Research
The NSW market continued its rally which commenced early in the 2014-15FY. Against the backdrop of an accelerating state economy, in excess of $3.26 billion took place in the last financial year. In the past 24 months, the NSW economy boasted a superior employment, retail turnover and economic growth rate. Furthermore, the commitment of over $56 billion to transportation infrastructure in the forthcoming four years is over triple that of next highest state. It’s no wonder Sydney remained the preferred destination for investment volumes in the Asia-Pacific region. Over 38 per cent of offshore capital was placed in NSW’s industrial and logistics assets. At the same time, NSW accounted for 47 per cent of the national investment sales volumes.
Given this level of demand, the state’s industrial properties underwent a substantial firming in cap rates. In the past two years NSW’s average cap rate has declined by 207bps. In 2015-16FY it fell 104bps below its previous low in 2007, sitting at 6.77 per cent.
Portfolio sales played a prominent theme for the NSW market. The lion’s share of assets from portfolios were situated in Sydney. Indeed over 41 per cent of the total portfolio sales volumes were for Sydney-based assets. The aforementioned GIC industrial portfolio had a 44 per cent transaction volume weighting toward Sydney. As such Sydney accounted for $567 million of sales from the $1.073 billion total. Outside this, the JP Morgan and Goodman portfolios comprised of 7 assets from the NSW market.
Sydney’s industrial landscape is undergoing a transformation not seen in years. The stock in the inner industrial markets have diminished in midst of significant withdrawals for alternate use and infrastructure development. In the Sydney South, Inner West and Sydney North markets net effective rental growth has materialised from the ever increasing scarcity in assets. Yields in these markets have declined substantially in recent years, moreover. The average transaction yield in South Sydney last fiscal year, by example, were 16bps tighter than those in 2007. Since 2013,
MAJOR TRANSACTIONS OVERVIEW
the average transaction yield in Sydney South declined by 226bps to 6.79 per cent.
Meanwhile the Outer West and North West market have become hubs of activity, with institutions undertaking speculative developments - triggered by a confluence in market confidence and pockets of rental growth. These markets have welcomed tenants displaced from the inner markets and others looking to consolidate operations. Investment volumes in the West have had eight consecutive years of growth. Volumes last year were 545 per cent greater than those in 2008. Since 2013, the average transactional yield fell by 237bps, while investment volumes grew at an average of 52.9 per cent per annum. The South West market is experiencing a sea change on the back of the Moorebank Intermodal. The project, Australia’s largest intermodal freight precinct, is expected to include a subdivision plan for up to 1,000,000m2 over 243 hectares of land. The precinct is expected to accommodate the extra capacity from a new terminal at Port Botany, to be open in 2017. Significant level of enquiry and pockets of rental growth has already eventuated in response to this.

INDUSTRIAL EDITION
VICTORIABy Adrian Rowse Director, Industrial
In Melbourne, the current industrial market is characterised by a significant volume of capital searching for investment grade stock, scarcity of quality prime assets, limited (serviced) land supply and a pipeline constrained of speculative supply. This demand is driving higher capital values and tighter yields.
The Melbourne industrial property market continues to see demand grow from logistics and warehousing users, and this is underpinned by the strong performance of the port. Although some older manufacturing industries, such as the clothing/footwear and automotive industries, have been in steady decline for a number of decades now, the logistics sector and emerging manufacturing industries such as food (particularly dairy) production and alternative automotive
manufacturing (ATVs, caravans etc.) are going some way to fill this gap in demand. Overall, the Melbourne industrial market will be dominated by the logistics and warehousing sector, and those areas that provide affordable, greenfield land for development and are well located to Melbourne’s freeway network, are the areas where demand will be concentrated.
The largest estate transaction was of Parkwest Industrial Estate within the western suburb of Derrimut, which was acquired in Q3 2015 by Charter Hall directly from Goodman for $285 million. This asset includes 16 warehouse facilities and a café constructed between 1996 to 2015, and was leased to 18 tenants with a combined WALE of circa 4.8 years.
There have also been a number of significant single tenanted distribution centre transactions, the greatest being the

acquisition by Charter Hall of the Woolworths Distribution Centre at Dandenong South. This transaction occurred on a fund-through basis subject to a 20 year lease to Woolworths, with reported sale price of circa $215 million, with the 68,000m2 facility estimated for completion by the end of 2017. The second major single tenanted asset transaction was that of 1 Hume Highway, Laverton North, acquired by Logos in Q4 2015 on a 25 year sale and leaseback from Oxford Cold Storage. The sale price of $206 million reflected a yield of 6.8 per cent for this large cold store facility. The third major single tenanted asset transaction was that of 63 Fitzgerald Road, Laverton North, sold by Goodman to Charter Hall for approximately $98.4 million. The asset was leased to Metcash with approximately 6 years remaining on the lease, and reflected a yield of approximately 6.9 per cent.
As with Sydney, Melbourne’s industrial market constitutes of a number of submarkets, each with unique characteristics which change the nature of the investment sales deals. The city fringe, and more particularly the Port Melbourne precinct, continues to be characterised by a major change in usage, that is from a predominantly industrial area to one now highly sought after by residential developers. The rezoning of much of Port Melbourne (Fishermans Bend) to Capital City Zone has not only changed the usage of sites within that zone, but also in the surrounding areas of Port Melbourne that are still appropriate for industrial use. The major industrial site sale within the Port Melbourne precinct was the sale of GMH’s 37.7ha site at 241 Salmon Street. The site consists of five parcels bordered by Salmon Street, Todd Road, Lorimer Street and Cook Street and accounts for 30 per cent of industrial land in Port Melbourne. As at the date of publication of this document the sale price and purchaser were not disclosed. The largest investment sale in the precinct was the acquisition by AMP Capital of 704-744 Lorimer Street from Centennial Property Group for $36.2 million in Q3 2015. This asset comprises 7 tenants with the sale price reflecting a yield of circa 7.8 per cent.
The transport and logistics sector continues to drive demand space in the North, and users are now competing for a dwindling supply of vacant stock over 5,000m2. The two largest investment transactions in the north were of assets forming part of the Goodman Portfolio sale, being Northgate Distribution Centre at Somerton, and Campbellfield Distribution Centre. In addition, 125-175 Patullos Lane Somerton sold for $25.25 million reflecting a yield of 8.2 per cent as part of a 3 property national portfolio. The largest transaction on an individual basis was the acquisition by Warrington Capital of Dexus Wholesale Property Fund’s Melbourne Airfreight Centre for $23.85 million.
This deal was transacted off-market and reflected an initial yield of 6 per cent, albeit noting that the 5.6 hectare site was 31 per cent vacant at the time of sale.
The west industrial market continues to be the dominant industrial market in Melbourne, and was the key sales driver over the 2015-16 FY. The major sales within this submarket included the Parkwest Industrial Estate transaction ($285 million), Metcash facility at Laverton North ($98.4 million), Oxford Cold Storage transaction ($206 million) and other sales incorporated within both the GIC/Frasers and Goodman portfolios.
Investment sales deals in the south/east and outer east have been led by the transaction of the Woolworths DC at Dandenong South, reported at $215 million. The next largest transaction was that of Powerpark Industrial Estate at Dandenong South, acquired by Charter Hall direct from Goodman for $88.5 million in Q3-15. This asset comprises 3 industrial buildings and 5 separate tenancies with a WALE at the time of sale of 7.1 years. Other major transactions included 14 Ordish Road and 35-61 South Park Drive, Dandenong South, both of which formed part of the GIC/Frasers portfolio sale.

INDUSTRIAL EDITION
QUEENSLANDBy Peter Willington Research Manager, Research
Fierce competition for the few assets that have been brought to market has led to further contraction in the yield achieved for investment grade assets. Following an exceptional 2014-15 financial year ($1.17 billion), the total value of sales recorded in the 2015-16 fiscal year was $920 million in 31 transactions, in line with the result of the 2013-14 fiscal year. These transactions reflected a tightening of prime yields by 50 to 100 basis points from the end of the previous fiscal year.
As a consequence of the significant yield compression in prime grade assets; secondary assets had something of a renainsence with a substantial number of purchasers by privates and syndicators. Similarly, many investors moved further up the risk curve throughout the year in order to maximise yield. Appetite, however, remains strongest for well-located assets offering annuity type income with long WALEs occupied by tenants with strong covenants.
The highlight of the year was the Ascendas acquisition of a portfolio of national assets from GIC. Four Queensland assets were included in the portfolio totalling to some $213.4
million. Over 110,000m2 of built area transacted with all but one asset, that was limited by a 0.1 year WALE, transacting at yields below 6.6 per cent.
The largest sale to occur in the period (outside of the Ascendas portfolio acquisition) was the sale of 1-5 Bishop Drive at the Port of Brisbane for $63 million in early 2016. Logos Property Services bought the 76,693m2 facility from IPS Logistics at an equivalent reversionary yield of 8.75 per cent. The relatively high yield is reflective of the 3 year WALE at the time of transaction.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA By Kate Gray Associate Director, Research
The Adelaide industrial market has seen volumes increase over the 2015/16 FY. Total sales volumes for sales over $5 million according to the Colliers Edge were $204.1 million for this period. This is up from the $137.16 million in the 2015/16 FY. There has been one transaction recorded above $5 million in the first half of 2016 therefore the strong sales result is due to transactions in the second half of 2015. The strongest price point in the Adelaide market is below $2 million as this tends to attract both private investors and smaller owner occupiers which is the bulk of the Adelaide industrial market.
Prime industrial yields have tightened only marginally over the last 12 months with an average yield of 8.05 per cent as at June 2016. There are however differences in market performance. The West and the Inner North markets have continued to perform well and still attract solid demand when offered to the market. Demand is coming from an even mix of both occupiers and investors, with the strongest enquiry below $10 million. The Adelaide industrial market has a strong private ownership for industrial property and therefore private investors and small to medium business therefore account of a significant proportion of both vendors and purchasers.
Enquiry in the leasing market has also improved in the first half of 2016. Prime rents have grown marginally over the last 12 months to an average of $102/m2. Incentives for prime grade property have remained stable over the last 12 months with an average of 14 per cent as at June 2016.
Institutional investors have been active over the last 12 months accounting for around 76 per cent of the total sales value. There is also an emerging trend for offshore purchasers being more active in the Adelaide market. We saw a one significant transaction purchased by a Singaporean investor. The Adelaide industrial market is still offering yields which are higher than in most other east coast industrial markets, and therefore Adelaide is an attractive investment option. During 2014 there were several significant industrial portfolios which transacted, with some Adelaide assets included in the sale. This has not been a trend that has continued in the Adelaide market during 2015/16 with all of the sales over $5 million being single asset sales.
Yields across regions have varied significantly, and of
particular note is the Outer North. This is a relevantly new market offering prime grade buildings, but has a high exposure to the automotive industry. There have been several sales in this market which are below the $5 million threshold, but several of these assets have sold below replacement value. The risk premium on these properties were high due to the risk of vacancy and the perceived difficulty in attracting tenants, and therefore yields have been higher in this sub market. Despite the fact Holden is still to close next year, vacancy has fallen in this precinct and therefore there is likely to be some scope for yields to begin to tighten. Other industrial sub markets have been largely unaffected by the imminent Holden closure with vacancy remaining low and yields tightening slightly over the last 12 months. The announcement of the submarine contract to have a significant build in SA will continue to support development and investment in the Adelaide industrial market, in particular in the Osbourne/Port Adelaide area.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA By Quyen Quach Senior Research Analyst, Research
Modern industrial facilities that are well leased and well located with strong cash flows are assets that continue to be sought by investors, despite challenges in the leasing market. This robust demand and limited supply of investment grade assets for sale have resulted in yield compression over the past year.
Notwithstanding the moderation in market rents over the past year, investment grade facilities with strong lease covenants and secure tenants are still providing some of the best returns across the commercial property sector. In comparison to fixed income and low yield, low risk investments they present as highly attractive.
According to IPD’s Australian Quarterly Digest, WA industrial income return was the best performer across the three commercial sectors at 8.6 per cent in the year to December 2015. This was higher than the Australian national average of 7.6 per cent for the same period. It was also stronger than the Perth CBD office market at 6.9 per cent and WA retail investments at 6.7 per cent.
There were 13 major (over $5 million) investment transactions that occurred in the Perth metropolitan area during 2015-16 financial year, representing a combined total value of $463.4 million. In the first five months of 2016 there were 6 major transactions totalling $290.1 million. This included Charter Hall’s $240 million acquisition of the ‘Stockyards’ industrial estate in Hazelmere.
Perth’s comparatively smaller industrial market remains dominated by local high net worth individuals, with long-term hold strategies who tend to be unperturbed by the cyclical fluctuations of the market; and to date have maintained their portfolios.
In contrast, foreign and institutional investors feature to a lesser extent in the Perth industrial sector. This is attributed to a perception that industrial assets in Perth are higher risk in comparison to other cities, based on the view that WA’s economy lacks diversity. Major foreign purchases in past years have generally been the result of national portfolio acquisitions with combined assets from a number of cities, rather than individual asset acquisitions.
However, over the past two and a half years transaction records reveal an increased institutional investor appetite for Perth assets. This compounded demand in a low interest rate environment has resulted in Prime asset yields tightening to the lowest on record; currently sitting at circa 6.5 per cent, and closer aligned to yields achieved in major cities in the east. This is evident in Charter Hall’s recent purchase of the ‘Stockyards’ industrial estate from Goodman Group, with an indicative passing yield of circa 6.5 per cent.
Going forward, Colliers International expects continued robust interest from institutional investors as yields remain comparatively attractive, Perth population expands and WA transitions to a more diverse economy. We expect this to further increase the curiosity of foreign investors and institutions in Perth industrial assets. However, it is expected transactional activity will remain limited given the standing of the private market and general resistance to divestment of investment grade assets.

INVESTORS CONFIDENT IN THE FUNDAMENTALS The key driver for ongoing sales activity in the industrial
sector is the positive period of economic growth that is supporting occupier demand. The stability in the manufacturing sector’s number of businesses and employment expectations as well as the rising importance and strength of the construction and transport, postal and storage sectors bodes well for the future.
OPPORTUNITY FOR OFFSHORE PURCHASERS The industrial sector in New Zealand represents almost
40 per cent of total activity for properties that sell for NZD $5 million or more. While locals are clearly active, historically there have been limited offshore purchasers who often cite a lack of value quantum and scale in the sector. However, given the market’s strong asset appreciation as well as solid occupier fundamentals and depth in sales turnover, this will change. There could be a well-reasoned argument for more offshore purchasing of industrial property in the future, especially for those investors looking to diversify their existing portfolio.
YIELDS TO FIRM FURTHER Investors are ‘yield-hungry’ and low debt costs are driving
market sentiment and investment yields to new record lows. The lack of good quality stock to buy will keep yields firming further over the next 12 months, albeit at a slower rate than the past 12 months. We expect positive investment conditions will continue for as long as interest rates remain low, occupier demand remains high and investors remain cautiously optimistic. Some ‘squeezed out investors’ are driving up values and lowering yields in the secondary sector - sometimes considered to be a signal the market is reaching a peak. However, the examples are limited and we have not seen multiple occurrences of profit-taking and careless, euphoric market trading. Investors in the industrial sector are well-founded in their optimism and purchasing activity.
New Zealanders have a love affair with industrial property. In the financial year to June 2016, as in most years over the last two decades, approximately half of all sales transactions at all price levels in New Zealand were industrial properties.
DEMAND DRIVES INVESTOR SENTIMENT Occupier demand is at cyclical highs across most main
cities. Tenants searching for new or larger spaces are struggling to find suitable premises to work from. Auckland’s vacancy is at a record low 2.2 per cent and Wellington is at 3.6 per cent, which is a six year low. While Christchurch is also experiencing low vacancy rates at 2.1 per cent, the earthquake rebuild has likely peaked, which will alleviate some of the demand pressure from its current highs.
Despite the demand transition in Christchurch, there are more purchasers than quality properties for sale, a common feature across all locations that is driving up prices. Investors are confident in current and projected cash flows and yields are firming to new record lows. The current outlook suggests more of the same for the next 12 months with little relief for new entrants that won’t meet the market’s pricing levels.
STRONG SALES, BUT STILL BELOW THE LAST PEAK Although investor enthusiasm is high, our analysis of
industrial sales since the late 1990s shows that FY 2014/15 was a record year with an aggregate value of NZD$1.2 billion for properties that sold for NZD $5million or more. However, provisional data for FY 2015/16 came close with NZD $1.1 billion from 98 sales. This is likely a reflection of stock availability rather than demand.
