Annual Vacancy Trend
Says Shishir Baijal, Chairman & Managing
Director, Knight Frank India: “2015 for Indian real estate had both the good
and bad news. While the office market grew from strength to strength,
residential did not perform as per expected.
Office market saw a record absorption at 40.4
mnsqft; highest since 2012. Supply of quality office space now a concern with
vacancy levels at an eight year low. Rentals have firmed up as a result. Among
sectors driving growth, IT/ITeS continues to lead with start-ups. This year
however, we saw e-commerce and start-ups contribute to the office space uptake
in a major way. Going forward, we have to wait to see if this trend
continues.
Residential
on the other hand, continue slowdown with launches at a five year low, despite
the festive season. Sales in 2015 were lower than 2014 levels. Despite the 125
bps rate cut by RBI, demand did not see an uptake. Our outlook for 2016
remains muted. To further revive the demand, it is important to transmit the
benefits of the rate cuts to consumers.”
