Commercial real estate trends stayed positive in the first half of 2015 despite the slowdown in economy growth, Greek crisis, uncertain geopolitical situation and sanctions. According to Inreal, UAB 2015 first half Lithuanian economy and real estate market review, 3 new business centers (around 16,000 square meters in total) had been opened in Vilnius by the middle of the year, 2 new business centers (around 4,500 square meters in total) had been opened in Kaunas. Overall office space in Vilnius increased to 526,300 square meters after the implementation of the new office buildings.
Currently, office space is rented fast during a construction period of a project which adds more positivity to the real estate market. It is also visible from a low vacancy rate. According to Ober-Haus, UAB second quarter market comment, vacancy rate in Vilnius increased from 3.9% at the beginning of the year to 4.9% at the end of the first quarter and settled at 4.4% or 23,050 square meters at the end of the second quarter. Small increase was recorded because office building Vertingas was sold to Swedish investment company Nordic & Baltic Property Group, which resulted in premises being empty for some time. Vacancy rate in Kaunas increased from 1.3% to 5.7% until the end of the first quarter, which was followed by a decrease to 4.2% or a bit more than 3,800 square meters in the end of the first half. The main reason behind the increase in vacancy rate was completion of 3,600 square meters business center in the beginning of the year, which was built by telecommunication and real estate development company Mikrovisatos valda, UAB. The rental pace was not as fast as it was expected which resulted in the increase of free office space. Vacancy rate in Klaipeda remains high and reached 19.1%.
According to the data provided by Ober-Haus, UAB, the increase in rental prices remained small but stable and was 1- 2% during the first half of the year in three largest Lithuanian cities. In Vilnius class A office space rental price was EUR 13-16 per square meter, while in B class premises the price was EUR 8-12 per square meter. In Kaunas the price was EUR 9.5-13 per square meter and EUR 5.8-8 per square meter, respectively in class A and class B office premises. In Klaipeda class A space – EUR 8.7-11.6 per square meter, class B space – EUR 5.2-7.5 per square meter.
Commercial premises' profitability measures continued to decline due to growing value of the commercial real estate. The highest class space profitability in Vilnius decreased from 7.6% to 7.4% in the first quarter of the year. While capital value index in Vilnius increased by 8% from first quarter of 2014 until first quarter of 2015.
Situation in the warehouse and logistics real estate sector has improved but remains unstable. According to Inreal, UAB, the industrial confidence indicator went back to the level of 2013 in the first half of 2015, which indicates that industrial and warehouse representatives managed to re-orientate to Western markets after the change in business environment. Large warehousing and industrial companies have started optimizing their activity by investing in the warehousing objects thus decreasing rental costs. However, the number of those who are willing to invest in industry development decreases due to slowdown in economy growth and the continuing poor geopolitical situation.
According to Inreal, UAB, even though industrial real estate vacancy rate remains low and demand exceeds supply, rental prices remain settled and in the nearest future should not change. According to the data provided by the Ober-Haus, UAB, new warehouses' rental price in Vilnius was EUR 3.5-5.2 per square meter at the end of the first half of 2015, while old warehouses' – EUR 1.5-3.0 per square meter. In Kaunas EUR 3.5-4.9 per square meter and EUR 1.5-2.9 per square meter, in Klaipeda EUR 3.4-4.7 per square meter and EUR 1.4-3.0 per square meter, respectively new and old warehouses' rental price at the middle of the year.
According to the data provided by Ober-Haus, UAB, second half of the year should be more active. Only in Vilnius six new business centers will be built by the end of the year, totaling 38,000 square meters. During 2016 six additional business centers are planned to be finished, which should add 100,000 square meters. One of the biggest among them will be 20,000 square meters business center "City" in Zalgiris str., which is being developed by Hanner, AB and is planned to be completed by the end of 2016. Another large project is being developed by M.M.M. Projektai, UAB and is projected to be 65,000 square meters office space complex, construction is planned to start in 2016. The increase in the supply of new office space buildings is partially connected to the establishment of international companies' service
centers in Lithuania. According to Invest in Lithuania, there are 55 service centers located in Lithuania at the moment which should expand their number of employees by 2,000 people in the nearest future. That would require additional office space of 15,000 – 20,000 square meters (one employee needs 7.5 – 10 square meters on average in this type of companies).
In Latvia industrial real estate market remained active in the first half of 2015. According to Colliers International market overview, during the first half of the year 3 new industrial buildings were completed, totaling 40,000 square meters. The largest among them takes space of 30,000 square meters and was developed for Palipaks, SIA. Until the end of the year it is planned to complete buildings with total size of 83,100 square meters. Largest among them: industrial complex with the size of 44,000 square meters and Jelgavas Biznesa Parks reaching 16,000 square meters. Despite the active supply, the market remains stable because of simultaneously growing demand. During the first half of 2015 vacancy rate slightly increased from 2.2% to 2.7%. The slight increase was determined by completion of new industrial projects. It is expected that vacancy rate can slightly increase by the end of the year. Average rental prices did not change compared to the end of 2014 and remained EUR 3.5- 4.5 per square meter for A class buildings indicating market equilibrium.
