Leicester SquareLeicester Square is the home of UK cinema hosting more than fifty film premieres every year and is the heartof London’s West End. Up to 35 million people pass through the square every year and it has more than25 restaurants, 15 bars and 7 cinemas. It also houses London’s collection of handprints of the stars.

The Square is the focal point of nine side streets creating the ideal meeting point in the West End. An idealmeeting point is also an ideal place to stay as a visitor to London, as seen by the successful opening of theW Hotel at the north west corner of the Square.

Leicester Square is currently undergoing a major refurbishment programme around the garden square that willsignificantly enhance the built environment and public realm. It is anticipated that the new look square will notonly maintain its position as the UK home of cinema but expand this to attract further high end restaurantsand hotels.

THE FUTURE OF LEICESTER SQUARE

A redesign of Leicester Square to regenerate it in line with its international status and reputation commenced atthe end of 2010. The £15 million project will transform the Square into a destination address designed for people to enjoy the West End’s principal meeting point.

Included within the scheme is improved seating, high quality public art and imaginative lighting all aimed at encouraging people to spend time in the Square. The refurbishment will also maintain the intrinsic English landscape qualities of the gardens at the centre of the Square.

It is anticipated that the reinvention of the Square as a destination address will attract significant investment froma number of high profile retailers and hoteliers as witnessed by the success of the W Hotel. Michael Wale, seniorvice president of Starwood, compared the launch of the W Hotel Leicester Square with that of the W Hotel TimesSquare, New York City, in 2001:

“At that point it was at the same stage as Leicester Square and we were one of the anchor projects to accelerate its regeneration”.

CENTRAL LONDON RESIDENTIALMARKET COMMENTARY

London’s housing market has continued to follow a very different path tothat seen in the wider UK market. Prime London property prices rose by0.9% alone in August, taking the annual increase to over 10%. Indeed,prices have been rising strongly since April 2009, and are now 4% higherthan their previous peak in March 2008 (a 35% increase in total).

In contrast to the mainstream market, sales activity in the prime central London market has been strong in recent months, with a rise in new instructions and a subsequent rise in transactions. But supply is still notmeeting the pent-up demand in the market.

Buyer demand for prime properties in the capital looks set to continue, signalling a further rise in prices throughout the rest of the year, albeit at a more modest pace. The strength of this demand is largely attributed to the strength of the Euro and Dollar compared to the Sterling with the twocurrencies enjoying relative discounts of 10% and 18% respectively. In addition,the low UK base rate has given greater incentive for buyers to acquire in the“safe haven” of the London property market.

Despite becoming a more expensive market to buy into Prime London propertycontinues to attract domestic and global wealth. Such purchasers are attracted by the potential to achieve capital growth at least at, or ahead of, income growth. This means that total returns on investments of between 8% - 10% could be achievable, before gearing and also before profits from development. Going forward, we forecast that prices will rise by 6% nextyear and 7% in 2013.

Central London

One of the great world cities, London benefits from a vibrant hotel marketcommensurate with the city’s international image. It is Europe’s businesshub and is the most visited city in the world attracting 26 million visitorseach year. It appeals to high spending business and leisure visitors as a result of the city’s desirability as a cultural and commercial destination.

During 2010 the UK hotel market demonstrated a strong recovery from theglobal recession. Tri HotStats reported London rooms occupancy and ARRincreased in 2010 by 2% and 8.9% respectively over the previous year. The increase in occupancy to 82.1% and the recovery in ARR to £123.32 led to a room RevPAR performance of £101.20, an increase of 11.5%.

Whilst 2010 was bolstered by events such as the Farnborough Air Show andthe Wimbledon Championships growth has continued strongly into 2011.HotStats have reported an extraordinary occupancy level of 92.4% for July2011 which is a 0.6% year on year increase in room occupancy following thestaggering 91.8% achieved in July 2010. ARR at £148.65 for the month is thehighest recorded.

The prospects for a continued growth in the capital look strong. The start ofthe 2012 Olympics is under a year away and estimated visitor numbers producedby Visit Britain forecast a continued growth in leisure travellers from Europe,North America and BRIC, all taking advantage of the relative weakness inthe pound.

London is one of the world’s leading financial and cultural centres exertinga powerful influence over worldwide commerce, politics, education, media,fashion and the arts, which all contribute to its status as a global city andprime leisure and business destination.

There have been several high profile hotel openings in 2011 to include theW London, Leicester Square, Corinthia Hotel and Renaissance St Pancras allof which have added to the reputation of London as a top international destination.

Hotel transaction activity in London remains limited driven by the very restrictedsupply of available property and strong underlying trading fundamentals.London’s relative resilience and the prospect of a sustained recovery makethe capital one of the most sought after hotel property markets.

CENTRAL LONDON RESTAURANTS AND RETAILMARKET COMMENTARY

Prime Zone A Rents

Rental Value Growth

Restaurant accommodation is in high demand in the West End of Londonfrom top end Michelin starred destinations to more mainstream brands withsubstantial premiums being paid to secure quality sites. Leicester Square is aworld renowned location and as such there will be wide range of operatorsthat are seeking the type of exposure this location can provide. We wouldanticipate that the ground floor operator would be able to benefit from thehigh footfall and the rooftop would be a more discerning operator / international brand able to trade at a higher price point. Recent activitynearby includes The Spice Market at the W Hotel, the Hippodrome redevelopment with Café Rouge adjacent and Busaba Eathai on Panton Street.

The Central London Retail market continues to perform for retailers and investors alike. The core West End streets (Oxford, Regent and Bond) haveseen increasing rental tone as Zone A’s have been pushed to new levels inmost areas. Quality space is hard to find across the West End with levels ofdemand increasing on all streets.

Luxury brands maintain Bond Street’s position as the most expensive spacein London with a mixture of rental and premium deals on new space. Retailers’ appetite for space on Oxford Street continues despite the disruption caused by work on the new Crossrail link.

Regent Street continues to go from strength to strength, anchored by someof the world’s leading brands. It continues to improve both the quality of itsretailers and its retail breadth. The creation of what will become one ofBurberry’s major UK flagships is a massive benefit to the southern end ofthe street and with the delivery of the Quadrant development and other recent changes will truly extend the locations retail power.

Leicester Square itself has seen the recent opening of the first M&M storeoutside of the USA, taking advantage of the high footfall through theSquare and its association with the leisure and entertainment markets.

Central London’s ability to weather the storm lies in the diverse tenant mixand sheer scale of the retailing offer. Stable demand together with supplyconstraints is expected to see rental growth of 2.3% per annum over thenext three years (to 2014) outperforming all other regions in the UK.

CENTRAL LONDON OFFICEMARKET COMMENTARY

West End AvailabilityAll market indicators suggest that the Central London office market is wellon the road to recovery. Increasing demand and diminishing supply is resulting in revived market confidence amongst occupiers and investorsalike. The supply squeeze combined with an extremely tight pipeline ofGrade ‘A’ offices, presents a strong case for significant rental growth overthe next 3-4 years.

Take up in the second quarter of 2011 rose to 1.2m sq.ft. and remained abovetrend for the seventh successive quarter. Take-up increased for all types ofaccommodation, particularly new space, and the second quarter also saw areturn of pre-lettings. The amount of space currently under offer suggeststhat take up will stay strong. Availability has dropped to its lowest level inthree years driven by a sharp decline in the supply of second hand and newspace under construction.

Over the last two years, West End leasing activity has recovered steadilyfrom the downturn and rents have remained firm. Prime rents have stayed at£92.50 per sq ft in the West End. Spurred by the imbalance between supplyand demand, forecasts paint a positive picture with prime rents expected toreach £130 per sq ft by 2013.

Having moved out from 3.5% at their prime in the summer of 2007, prime office yields in the West End have recovered to circa 4%.

Completion levels are set to dip in 2011 with only 1.9m sq ft scheduled forcompletion this year it could be one of the lowest on record for development completions. Completion rates will improve next year with3.1m sq ft expected to complete and this figure is set to rise in 2013.
