Office accommodation with lifestyle amenity driving demand
53% of ASX 200 companies are headquartered in metropolitan or regional office markets
==> picture [76 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
Inflation impacts
-
Increased fitout costs direct tenant demand to existing fitouts or renewals
-
Rising construction costs and interest rates will cause increases in economic rents for new developments and tempering supply
-
Higher interest rates are impacting investment demand
Increased construction and funding costs suggest many existing buildings are valued well below replacement cost
==> picture [38 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
Strong employment growth
-
469,700 new jobs created in the 12 months to December 2022[3]
-
Current unemployment rate of 3.5%[3]

Many Australian office markets have demonstrated robust tenant demand through 2022
Negative absorption concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne CBD, markets COF has limited or no exposure to
Pending and future office supply materially skewed to CBD office markets
