Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the eighth issue of the magazine and its materials.
- By the end of the year office take-up can reach 0.9 mn sq m -
Moscow, 21 July 2016, - CBRE, global real estate advisor, summarizes H1 2016 results of the Moscow Office market. According to the report, take-up volume in H1 2016 increased by 69% YoY and amounted to 557,100 sq m. At the same time, the share of class A offices in take-up increased by more than 3 times YoY in H1 2016.
In H1 2016 class A vacancy decreased to 19,3% from 26% at the end of 2015. To a greater extent this decrease in vacancy rate is related to withdrawal from the market of Eurasia Tower (93,900 sq m) and President Plaza (114,700 sq m), which will be potentially occupied by structures of VTB and Sberbank, respectively. These two towers accounted for 2.4% and 3% of vacancy rate in class A, respectively.
Elena Denisova, Senior Director, Head of Office Agency of CBRE in Russia said:
"Two large buildings’ take off the market had a positive impact on class A vacancy rate. But one must understand that these are non-market transactions: in reality, if excluding these buildings from calculations, class A vacancy rate fell by only 1.3 ppts. These type transactions are continuation of the trend that began last year, when large corporations with state participation and government authorities became active in the office market. On one hand it has positive effect on market indicators, on the other - it makes market forecasting even more difficult."
