GLOBAL PROPERTY OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW THE AMERICAS: RENTAL GROWTH OVER FIVE YEARS

21%
The global economic recession may be over but its

aftershocks are still being felt in the consumer sector 18%
in many if not all countries as recovery comes against a

backdrop of better but still fragile consumer confidence 15%
and continuing constraints on the availability of finance

It is no surprise therefore that the retail property market 9%
has had another difficult year to mid-2010 and, as was

perhaps always to be expected, the path leading from 6%
recession to recovery has been far from smooth.

Indeed, of the 59 countries covered in our Main Streets 0%

survey, 20 recorded falls in rents over the year to June, with 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
Latin America and Asia-Pacific the only regions to show

positive rental growth. Among the 269 individual locations TOP TEN LOCATIONS IN THE AMERICAS

Indeed, a key message from the survey is that, despite the

ongoing pressures facing different regions and confronting
consumers in particular, trends have been increasingly 100%
less harmonised over the last 12-24 months and not all
locations have seen reduced retailer demand and/or falling

Moreover, this does not simply follow macro regional trends

a still hesitant European one. Prime locations in a number

rental uplift, as demand has continued to exceed supply 40%

of prevailing economic conditions. These locations include

Europe as whole registered a decline in rents of 4.4%

with only 10 of the 25 countries surveyed recording

falls. What is more, rental values for prime property have
largely stabilized or have even shown modest increases in
a handful of markets. However, whilst leasing activity has 15%
improved, there is still a clear distinction between prime

and secondary locations.

In Western Europe, there were a number of surprise results
given the severity of the recession. Moderate rental growth
was recorded in Luxembourg (2.9%), Austria (2.4%),
Germany (1.9%) and Italy (1.2%) for example. This serves 5%
to demonstrate that occupier demand is showing some

tentative signs of improvement in these countries, although

of consumer spending growth is hampering landlords’ 0%

The information contained in this report has been collected as at June 2010, in a comprehensive survey of Cushman & Wakefield’s
international offices. Our representation is designed to facilitate the rapid flow of information across borders and is supported by a
comprehensive database of market information and regular liaison meetings. This allows for the exchange of local market knowledge and
expertise and for the co-ordination of strategy for international investment and locational decision-making.
Retail Rental Survey - Definition
Data for retail rents relates to our professionals’ opinion of the rent obtainable on a standard unit in a prime pitch of 269 locations across
59 countries around the world. Services charges such as building insurance, local taxes and costs of repair payable by the tenant are not
included.
In the dynamic international retailing sector, local market characteristics, technological advancements and the evolution of new retail
formats are just several of the forces that impact on the size and configuration of retail units. As a result, occupation costs vary from one
country to another.
As far as possible, the objective is to provide a realistic comparison, but the exercise is constrained by a number of factors. These include
differences in unit configuration, zoning practice and local lease structures such as lease length, the inclusion of rent reviews to open market
value and the right to assign the lease.
For the purposes of this survey, the standard unit is defined, where possible, as a unit with 150-200sq.m of sales area. We would expect
a unit to have a typical frontage of 6-8 metres. However, an element of flexibility is needed with the size definition, given that unit
configuration varies from market to market. Assumptions regarding ancillary space follow local practice.
The rents represent our agents’ views as to what is consistently achievable for prime space – we do not quote asking rents or the highest rent
obtainable.
It is assumed that the unit is vacant and is available for letting on the open market, without any request for a premium (key money).
However, in many top locations around the world, vacant units are rarely marketed and substantial key money to sitting tenants is often
payable.
Rents in most countries are supplied in local currency and converted to US$ for the purposes of international comparison. Accordingly,
the ranking of the most expensive streets can be affected by currency movements from year to year. Rents in the UK, France and Ireland
are originally quoted in Zone A and are converted to an overall basis.
