Serviced apartments scale new heights

Serviced apartments are fast becoming a hot real estate avenue, with as much as a 12-19 per cent annual yield on investments, against 10-12 per cent returns in the commercial segment.

Experts say in the serviced apartments space, developers, primarily from the hospitality sector, are targeting non-resident Indians (NRIs), expatriates and now, even domestic investors. To investors, this segment offers both capital value appreciation, as well as rental returns.

Hotel Leela, Grand Hyatt and Marriott International are among the major hospitality chains with serviced apartments. Ascott, one of the largest serviced residence owner-operator, has a tie-up with Ireo to offer such apartments in Gurgaon.

Now, the venture is expanding into other regions, too.

Many Gurgaon-based firms offer serviced apartments of various developers, including DLF and Unitech, to companies and tourists.

Ashutosh Limaye, head (research and real estate intelligence service), Jones Lang LaSalle India, says, “Of late, domestic investors, along with NRIs, are more keen to invest in serviced apartments, as the realty segment-— residential and commercial — isn’t offering very good returns. It is possible the returns in the serviced apartments space are as high as 12-19 per cent.”

He added the capital appreciation in the residential segment was five-seven per cent and less than five per cent in the commercial space.

The residential segment offers 2.5-2.75 per cent yields to investors, while the commercial space offers about 12 per cent.

Serviced apartments are fully furnished studio or one-, two- or three-BHK (bedroom, hall and kitchen) apartments, with the kitchen managed by the service operator. The construction cost for such apartments is much higher than that for other residential apartments; typically, it is on a par with a five-star hotel, in terms of amenities such as meeting rooms, housekeeping, swimming pools and gyms.

Many multinational firms have serviced apartments as guest houses. Samir Jasuja, founder and chief executive, PropEquity, agrees serviced apartments are among the most promising options for investors. “The capital price appreciation and the rental yield offered by a serviced apartment are typically higher than commercial and residential property. This segment offers ultra-luxury lifestyle, services and great opportunities for investors who look for both regular income and additional upsides. Currently, this segment is receiving a lot of interest from NRIs and HNIs (high net worth individuals,” he says.

Serviced apartments are already a hit in the US, Europe and other developed markets. An executive at a leading real estate developer says these are ideal for an extended stay by tourists, or for employees relocated for assignments.

Office space absorption to reach 132 million sqft by 2017: Report

Bullish on the revival of theeconomy after general elections, real estateconsultancy firm Cushman & Wakefield expects nearly 132 million sqft of office space, across the eight major metros, to get absorbed by 2017. 

However, the report said the current year (2013) will see a 26 per cent fall in office space absorption to around 22.5 million sqft over the past year due to the ongoing slump in the economy. 

The supply of office space between 2013 and 2017 in the top eight cities-Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Pune is expected to be around 143 million sqft. 

Of this 143 million sqft, around 90 million sqft are currently under various stages construction and is expected to get completed by 2015, the report said. 

"The office market is expected to remain attractive for occupiers with steady increase in absorption after a trend of decline in 2013.

"With the economy expecting more stability in the post-election phase from 2015, the absorption trend is also expected to pick pace especially in established markets of Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR," Cushman & Wakefield executive managing director forSouth Asia Sanjay Dutt said. 

The report said the absorption of office space will decline in 2013 over 2012, mainly due to the current economic slowdown, which has made many companies defer their leasing requirements. 

According to the report, office space absorption in top eight cities including is expected to be over 22.5 million sqft in 2013, a decline of around 26 per cent over 2012. 

However, going forward the trend in absorption is expected to pick up at a steady pace with 2015 with an estimated absorption of 28 million sqft. 

Dutt said that the commercial office sector has seen substantial deferment of supply in the recent times due to slack in demand and delays in regulatory clearances. 

"Similar trend is expected to continue in the next few years owing to issues such as demand from occupiers as well as funding issues that developers have been facing," he added. 

However, growth is expected to set in from the second half of 2014 when an increase in leasing activities both on account of entry of new companies into the country, expansion of existing companies and indeed relocation and consolidation activities that are expected to continue, Dutt said.

Government approaches World Bank for infrastructure funding facility

India has approached the World Bank to set up a global infrastructure facility (GIF) to help finance about $1 trillion of investments needed for projects in the sector.

"India has asked the World Bank to set up a GIF which will provide loans to infra projects. The World Bank is working on it as they feel the development of the sector is important," a senior government official said.

The GIF would be set up with contributions from India, the World Bank, sovereign wealth funds and pensionfunds.

"The facility would benefit the SWFs and PFs as they would get higher returns by investing through GIF as compared to direct investment into projects," the official added.

The move will also help to bridge the current account gap, which soared to an all-time high of 4.8 per cent ofGDP in fiscal 2012-13, putting pressure on the local currency.

The government has been making efforts to develop infrastructure such as roads, railways and ports. The investment needed in the sector in the five-year period ending March 2017 is estimated at $1 trillion, about half of which is expected to come from the private sector.

In order to promote long-term and low-cost funding for the sector, the government has allowed Infrastructure Debt Funds (IDF) as a new category of financial intermediaries to refinance loans.

India's super-rich club grows second fastest in world

Indian economy may be facing a downturn, but all is not doom and gloom. A global wealth and investment report says India has recorded the second highest increase in the number of high net worth individuals (HNWI) - those having investable assets worth over $1 million.

India saw a steep decline in the number of HNWIs in 2011, but in 2012, it saw an increase by 22.2% and their wealth by 23.4%. As against 84,000 HNWIs in 2008 and 1,25000 in 2011, India was home to 1,53,000 such individuals in 2012. Altogether, these Indians were worth $589 billion. However, it was Hong Kong that experienced the most significant gains as its HNWI population grew by 35.7% and their wealth by 37.2%.

A further look at how they were investing will bring cheer to the real estate sector. In line with the investing behaviour in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan, Indian HNWIs invested most in real estate (26.5%). The balance of portfolios was allocated to cash and deposits (22.7%), fixed income (17.7%), equities (17.4%) and alternative investments (15.8%). Allocation to alternative investments at 15.8% was the highest in Asia-Pacific.
Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management's 2013 World Wealth Report (WWR) said the Global MSCI Benchmark Index increased 13.2%, with robust performances by Germany (27.2%), Mexico (27.1%) and India (23.9%). It said in India, reform measures and monetary easing helped equity markets gain by 23.9%.
