Apartment SectorApartment for Strata-title

SupplySeveral projects currently under construction rescheduled their hand-over targets to the end of this year or early 2015. Technical issues, such as mechanical and electrical installation, and other finishing work were the most widely reported problems causing a delay in the hand-over process in this period. The long Idul Fitri holiday also hampered the finishing progress of new development. Overall, in 3Q 2014, the cumulative supply of strata-title apartments only increased by less than 2% QoQ and was registered at 139,239 units. The increase accounted for an additional 2,183 units that came from the completion of eight towers at six apartment projects, including Ambassade Residence, MyHome Apartment, The Pakubuwono Signature, Sherwood Residence (Tower Regent), Sky Terrace Lagoon, and The Green Pramuka (Tower Bougenville). Tower Regent is the final tower being handed over at the Sherwood Residence project, while Tower Bougenville is the fourth of a total of seven towers planned to be built at The Green Pramuka project. Ambassade Residence, MyHome Apartment, The Pakubuwono Signature and Sky Terrace Lagoon are brand-new projects comprising 1,083 units scattered in the CBD, South Jakarta and West Jakarta areas.

Until the third quarter of 2014, 33% of the total 20,899 projected units this year have been handed over, leaving about 14,000 units which will be available in the next quarter or next year. Currently, there are 21 projects left which are expected to be completed by 2014; 48% of them will likely meet their target of beginning operations this year, while the rest are predicted to commence in the first or second quarter of 2015.

During this quarter, some developers have introduced their new projects to their loyal customers by using the NUP system. Recently, the NUP system has been commonly used for new apartment projects in Jakarta, especially for middle- and upper-class projects. This system involves a mutualism symbiotic relationship between the developer and the buyer. For developers, through the NUP system, the marketing team will get the “big picture” from the buyers, regarding the attractiveness

and the affordability of their new project, so they will have a formula to boost apartment sales. On the other hand, since there is a claim that the booking fee is 100% refundable, the buyer will not lose their money if the desired apartment unit does not meet their expectations. During this period, three new projects in West Jakarta, North Jakarta and CBD area had soft launches. These new projects will officially launch either in 4Q 2014 or early 2015.

In addition, around 726 units at two projects were launched during the reviewed quarter. Holland Village Phase II and Citra Lake Suites are both located in non-prime areas, i.e. Central Jakarta (excluding the CBD) and West Jakarta, respectively. Holland Village (Phase II), developed by Lippo Karawaci, is the continuation of the Holland Village Phase I, which is expected to be completed in late 2016. Citra Lake Suites is a

brand new project and is a joint venture project between Ciputra and Mitsui Fudosan Residential. In contrast with Holland Village, which adopted a one-stop living concept, Citra Lake Suite is designed purely for residences with a greenery ambience. It consists of four mid-rise apartment towers, located within the Citra Garden City housing complex.

DemandSales activity in the Jakarta apartment market during 3Q 2014 increased modestly. The overall take-up rate of the Jakarta apartment market was 86.6%, an increase of only 1.4% QoQ. Based on the findings in the field, after the Idul Fitri holiday and the presidential election, sales activities have gradually trended upward. Less newly launched / introduced projects, compared to the previous quarter, has affected the increase of the overall take-up rate. Based on a field survey and findings from the marketing of several apartment projects, the sales activity has been slightly hampered, on the back of uncertainty prior to the presidential election. However, sales activity has bounced back in a positive trend since the new president elect was announced.

In addition to the high demand for inner city living and a gradual shift in the trend of living from landed houses to high-rise apartment buildings, people buy apartments for investment reasons. Both end-users and investors treat apartment units as an asset. From the end-user’s perspective, the apartment can be an asset that hedges against inflation. For investors, owning an apartment can provide recurring income from rent and keep cash flow stable if the owners buy the apartment with a mortgage.

Existing Future

Until September 2014, the take-up rate of existing apartments in Jakarta reached 95%, relatively stable from the previous quarter and an increase of only 2% YoY. On the other hand, the take-up rate of under-construction projects was 73.2%, rising by 2.7% from the previous quarter.

Based on the market segment, the pre-sales rate of middle upper class projects achieved the highest take-up rate of 84%, followed by upper class at 78%. The high pre-sales absorption rate of middle upper and upper class was related to the high demand in those areas, such as Pondok Indah, Simprug, Senopati, Permata Hijau, Kemayoran, Kedoya and in the CBD area. The large number of apartment units from low and middle lower class apartment projects will likely increase market competition and impact the overall sales rate, evidenced by lower take-up rates of 71 and 72%, respectively. However, there are only two luxury apartment projects under construction, Raffles Residences and The Langham Residences, which posted an average sales rate of 71%.

Developers, especially of middle class projects, will therefore need to offer compelling product advantages, such as the proximate access to public transport and other public facilities, and be competitive in promoting their projects in order to boost sales. Traditional catalysts, such as more flexible payments, giving discounts and direct prizes, and longer instalments, continue to lead in accelerating sales. Flexible payments include the buyer being able to purchase the apartment by paying a fixed amount during a certain period, e.g. 12 months and at the end of the instalment period, the buyer can immediate settle by cash or with a mortgage. If the buyer chooses a hard-cash payment, the developer usually gives a big discount, e.g. 10 - 15%. Electronic media advertising is proving to be an effective way to gain more sales as it reaches more people than other media.

The CBD area continued to have the highest take-up rate during this quarter, particularly because there are no new developments being introduced during the quarter. The non-prime area achieved the highest take-up rate growth compared to the previous quarter, mainly generated from the good performance of apartment projects in West Jakarta. On the other hand, with its good accessibility and the fact that it is generally perceived as the second most prominent location for both investment and for a second or third home, the South Jakarta area continues to record positive growth both QoQ and YoY.

Asking PriceThe average asking price of Jakarta’s apartments witnessed a smoothly increasing trend this quarter. The upward adjustment in price is largely driven by good sales performance of the under-construction projects. The non-demand reasons, like continuing construction progress, also triggered the price hike as well as limited availability of vacant land in sterling locations in Jakarta. Overall, the average asking price of apartments in Jakarta increased by 5.8% QoQ and 17.2% YoY, to IDR26.8 million/sq m for the whole area and all classes of apartment. In our records, there are about 41 apartment projects that introduced new prices during the quarter, with the increases ranging from 5 to 15% QoQ. Despite modest demand growth, some developers are still confident in increasing the asking price due to investment reasons. From the buyer side, investing in property, such as apartments, is the best way to maintain the value of their money. Buying property is particularly appealing in Jakarta because the limited financial sector offers few other investment options. Furthermore, in a developing country like Indonesia, people buy property as a way of saving for the future because they cannot rely on pensions and other social benefits.

Average Asking Price of Strata-title Apartment Based on Area

Source: Colliers International Indonesia - Research

As depicted in the graph, the average asking price for apartments in South Jakarta recorded the highest QoQ growth followed by the CBD and non-prime areas. The high increase in the South Jakarta area was mainly triggered by under-construction projects that are approaching their completion dates, such as Bellevue at Pondok Indah, Woodland Park, and La Venue Apartment. Most of the increase in the non-prime area was triggered by good sales performance of middle-class apartment projects located in the middle to upscale areas, such as Tanjung Duren, Kedoya, Puri Indah, and Cawang areas.

Apartment For Lease

SupplyFor the last two consecutive quarters, Jakarta has not seen any new serviced or non-serviced apartment supply. Thus, as of the end of September 2014, the cumulative supply of apartments for lease stood at 8,334 units, consisting of 57.2% serviced and 42.8% non-serviced apartments.

The apartment market in Jakarta is expecting for 185 fully-furnished new dwellings in the next quarter from the serviced apartment project, The Ascott Kuningan, that is part of the large integrated development, Ciputra World Jakarta I, offering one- to three-bedroom units. Supposed to open in 2014, TBS Linera Serviced Apartments was postponed due to regulation issues and will likely hold the opening in the second quarter of 2015.

There are four serviced apartment projects in the pipeline until 2016, including projects that will be operated by two international brands, Frasers Hospitality and Oakwood. Fraser Place at Setiabudi Sky Garden is part of three towers in the Setiabudi area.

Jakarta, with limited land, offers a high plot ratio in strategic business and residential locations, which enables developers to build more floor space on a piece of land. Future serviced apartments are mainly part of integrated mixed-used developments. Locations like the CBD and South Jakarta remain the preferred location for serviced apartments. For several years, these two areas have been irreplaceable for many expatriate communities due to the proximity to the business district and international schools.

9 Research & Forecast Report | 3Q 2014 | Apartment | Colliers International

Average Rental RatesOverall, no rental increases occurred during the quarter. As we previously predicted in the 2Q 2014 report, despite the hike in electricity tariffs in July 2014, most apartments did not immediately increase the rental rates, and will only apply a yearly cyclical rent increase instead. During 3Q 2014, the average rental rate of apartments for lease stood at USD21.80/sq m/month. This figure represents the average for all of Jakarta with the CBD posting the highest average rental rates at USD27.60/sq m/month, followed by South Jakarta at USD15.34 and Non-prime areas at USD19.45/sq m/month.

The direct competition from individually owned apartments does not immediately impact the drop in occupancy rates. One of the reasons for this is the long-term partnership between companies with the serviced apartment operators to provide houses for their client’s representatives in Jakarta. Despite a massive amount of future strata-titled apartment supply, the occupancy rate of apartments for lease is projected to hold steady at between 70 and 80%. Such a steady condition is likely to hold back rental rate growth. Rent growth is anticipated to be less aggressive going ahead as compared to the previous years.

Occupancy RatesThe average occupancy rate of apartments for lease in 3Q 2014 stabilised at 76.2%, reflecting a minor change of less than 1% compared to the previous quarter. Unlike short-term accommodation that is generally seasonal, long-term accommodation, like serviced apartments, is less affected by the Islamic holiday season and presidential elections. In general, a large number of occupiers of apartments for lease are long-stay tenants. A slight decrease in the overall QoQ occupancy performance is a result of the intermediate period of occupation between old and new corporate tenants and also because of the expiration of contract work permits.

The CBD area recorded a modest increase of 0.3% compared to the previous quarter to 82.3%. The increase occurred mainly due to short-term leases for serviced apartments, which constituted a maximum of 30% of the total occupied units. Meanwhile, South Jakarta and Non-prime areas experienced a downward trend compared to the previous quarter, by 1.7 and 0.1%, respectively.

Non-Prime area 70.54% 70.41% -0.13%

The overall occupancy rate of apartments for lease has remained steady since 2011 despite the lack of new apartments for lease. Tough competition from new strata-titled apartments, especially in the South Jakarta area, has likely hampered the occupancy rates of both serviced and non-serviced apartments. Potential tenants, which mostly come from overseas corporations, are generally finding serviced apartments to occupy during their time working in Jakarta. However, since new strata-titled (individually owned) apartments continue to offer an option to lease, there is a wide variety and selection of apartments at competitive prices with flexible payments. This is likely to put pressure on the overall occupancy rate for leased apartments.

OutlookPositive outlook in the Jakarta apartment market, particularly strata-titled apartments, is expected to continue. Despite current market conditions softening due to a slowdown in the economy and the presidential election which hampered buying activities from both investors and end-users, the take-up rate of Jakarta apartments during this quarter increased modestly. After gradually softening for three consecutive quarters, the market has started to show positive momentum, evidenced by a slight increase in the average take-up rate, particularly in under-construction projects.

The growing middle class, which more than doubled in size from 2006 to 2011 (source: Euromonitor International), as well as traffic jams in Jakarta, will further push demand for apartments, especially from young families or executives who work in Jakarta. As mentioned above, there are currently about 46,688 apartment units to be completed in the market between now and 2016.

However, the plan to slowly reduce fuel subsidies in Indonesia is currently an issue in the news because there is a strong link between the increase in fuel prices and economic growth, including inflation rate. Overall, the increasing fuel price likely means that the cost of anything relying on transport will be affected, including raw materials for building.

From 2010 to 2014 YTD, the average asking rental rate for apartments in the CBD grew by 8% per annum, while for apartments in South Jakarta (including Non-prime areas), it only grew by 4% per annum. In fact, the upward trend of rental rates was mostly affected by periodic increases in serviced apartment rents, typically by 10 - 12% per year. Meanwhile, non-serviced apartments generally reviewed the new rental rate in every two or three years with a lower percentage of increase than serviced apartments.

With tight competition from the new, individually owned apartments, as well as limitations on expatriate arrivals since the government implemented the new decree from the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration, the rental rate growth is expected to be less aggressive compared to the previous years.
