AS SHOPPING CENTRES STRIVE TO DEVELOP THEIR
‘EXPERIENTIAL’ OFFER, ALBERT HOOGLAND, EMEA HEAD
OF SHOPPING CENTRE MANAGEMENT, ARGUES THAT
EFFECTIVELY MANAGING ‘BASICS’ LIKE CLEANLINESS AND
SAFETY IS STILL CRUCIAL TO SUCCESS.
WE ASKED: “HOW IMPORTANT ARE THE FOLLOWING
FACTORS IN A NON-FOOD SHOPPING TRIP?”
THEY SAID:
Managing a shopping centre is a balancing act – I’m sure some
would call it a high wire act. There’s a need to balance the varied
and often competing needs of tenants, as well as the different
tastes and requirements of various consumer groups. More
recently, shopping centre managers have also felt the need to
strike a balance between getting the basics right and investing
in ways to differentiate their schemes from both rival shopping
destinations and the lure of the internet.
In doing so, is there a risk that attention paid to the basics is
pushed aside in the headlong charge to provide new and better
experiences? Any schemes tempted to let this happen would do
well to read through a copy of CBRE’s survey – How Consumers
Shop 2014 – which questioned 21,000 consumers across 21
countries and encompasses three million data points.
When these consumers were asked what motivates them to
visit a shopping centre, it was the basics – price, convenience,
cleanliness and security – that came out top; with the softer, more
experiential elements further down the list.
This doesn’t mean I’m suggesting that atmosphere, experience
and entertainment should be ignored: once again it comes back
to balance. In my view, if you can get your basics perfectly in
order, in the most efficient and cost-effective way, you will have
more resources (both time and financial) available to take your
scheme to the next level in terms of creating consumer experience
and connecting with your retailers in a more empathetic and
cooperative way.
The challenge is how to go about doing that, and this starts with
understanding the basics. For example, what is clean? More
specifically, how do my customers and my retailers perceive clean?
It’s not rocket science to understand that customers’ perceptions
on cleanliness in a prime, luxury-oriented mall are different from

those of a neighbourhood centre in a small town. There are plenty
of points in between, though, and only by understanding where
your scheme belongs on this spectrum and working closely with
your cleaning contractor to fulfil these requirements economically
will you be able to ensure you’ve got the balance right. The same
goes for other elements such as security.
AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH TO SHOPPING
CENTRE MANAGEMENT
With a portfolio of shopping centres under management that now
numbers more than 230 schemes in 21 countries, CBRE’s EMEA
Shopping Centre Management team has plenty of experience in
striking the right balance to get the best out of an asset.
More recently, we’ve begun to back that experience with a
more analytical approach to the task. We’ve partnered with
two specialist consultancies, Cyber and Locatus, to create the
Shopping Centre Quality Monitor, a unique product for assessing
and comparing the quality of individual shopping centres.
Quality is assessed on the basis of three key elements: Basics,
Service and Experience. Each has 65 measurable and trackable
components, providing a much more detailed picture of the
strengths and weaknesses of a scheme than has hitherto been
possible.
Working with our partners we deployed this methodology among
a group of some 100 shopping centres in the Netherlands two
years ago. We are now about to repeat the exercise, so we can
track the progress made since that first assessment. We are also
piloting the Quality Monitor in selected Central and Eastern
European countries, with a view to eventually extending it across
our entire European portfolio.
IMPROVING THE LANDLORD/TENANT
RELATIONSHIP IS KEY
It’s one thing to know where you need to improve, quite another
to actually achieve those improvements. And here a lot of the
challenge comes back to retailer relationships. Although things
have improved in recent years, the landlord/tenant relationship
can still be too adversarial at times. As managers, we must strive
ever harder to convince retail groups about the mutual benefits
that can be derived from working more closely together. It’s easy
to say ‘but they just won’t listen’ – we must ask ourselves what we
can change in our own attitudes to get the retailers’ attention.
In this omnichannel world the big brands don’t care what journey
the consumer takes to get to them – via physical store, their
laptop or their smartphone – but they do want that revenue. When
cooperation between the shopping centre and retailer is good,
the centre can play a role in that omnichannel customer journey,
perhaps by installing click and collect points with adjoining
changing rooms, for example?
This is something the shopping centre can offer which the high
street retail environment can’t – an advantage we should be
careful not to neglect.

CONFIDENCE IS RETURNING TO THE SPANISH RETAIL
MARKET AS INVESTORS SCRAMBLE FOR THE BEST ASSETS
AMID RECORD TRANSACTION VOLUMES.
ALEX BARBANY
t: +34 93 444 7711
e: alex.barbany@cbre.com
After three years of painful recession, the Spanish economy
has finally returned to growth in 2014, with a similarly positive
performance expected to continue into 2015. A feeling that
there’s now light at the end of the tunnel has truly taken hold,
putting smiles back on the faces of many.
Even stubbornly high (above 20%) unemployment levels have
failed to dampen consumer confidence, which is back to its
pre-crisis levels after increasing substantially during the past 12
months. This is having its biggest effect in the wealthiest regions,
SPAIN
where the money didn’t really disappear but spending was held
back by a lack of confidence. Elsewhere, though, it may still take
some time before the macroeconomic improvements filter through
to the retail market.
As a result, we are seeing an increasing polarisation of trading
performance between the dominant regional shopping centres,
where sales are growing by double-digits, and the rest, where
sales are flat or falling.
INVESTORS FLOCK TO SPAIN
The most significant retail story of the year is undoubtedly the
flood of investment capital into the Spanish shopping centre
segment. At the time of going to press investment volumes had
already reached €1.7 billion and by the end of 2014 that figure
could well have climbed to between €2 and €2.5 billion. For
comparison, the previous record volume was €2 billion achieved
in 2007, on the eve of the financial crisis.
Among the principal buyers are the newly-created Socimis
(equivalent to REITS) such as MERLIN and Lar, together with fund
managers, notably CBRE Global Investors and TIAA Henderson,
and private equity investors including Oaktree and Incus Capital
among others.
Their enthusiasm for the best assets has seen yield compression
of around 125-150 bps during the last 12 months, with prime
shopping centres now being traded at net initial yields of around
5.5%-5.75%, while prime high street properties yield around
4.5%. Looking ahead, we predict that values of secondary high
street assets will rise during the next couple of years, as investors
switch their attention to this part of the market due to the total lack
of investment opportunities on the prime streets.
The surging investment market is also having a major knock-on
effect in the development area, in two distinct ways. The first is an
upturn in refurbishments and extensions, as new owners free up
funds to asset manage their new properties, many of which have
been starved of investment in recent years due to the financial
constraints in the market. The second is a new wave of greenfield
developments by the retail specialists, who have been crowded
out of the investment market by the pure financial players.
Notable pipeline schemes that underline this trend include
Carrefour Property’s 60,000 sq m S’Estada in Palma de Mallorca,
General de Galerias Comerciales’ c.90,000 sq m Parque
Nevada in Granada, plus four projects by Intu in Malaga, Vigo,
Valencia and Mallorca, each around 200,000 sq m
Unibail-Rodamco, meanwhile, has two major extension/
refurbishments projects in Barcelona.
RETAILERS ALSO FLOCKING IN
Spain never really went off the radars of the international retailers,
but 2014 has seen a significant upturn in new brands arriving.
This is particularly apparent in the aspirational/luxury segment,
where sales are underpinned by the millions of tourists who flock
to Madrid and Barcelona. New arrivals here include Longchamp,
Canali, Brunello Cucinelli, Jo Malone, Dior, Twin-Set and Coach.
In another significant move, the Saudi Arabian franchise specialist
Fawaz AlHokair has entered the Spanish market via a takeover of
the domestic group Blanco. As well as promising to revitalise this
brand, it seems likely that Fawaz AlHokair will bring some of the
many other brands it controls to the market in the coming years.
Established retailers, particularly in the fashion segment, are
seeking to rationalise their estates into fewer numbers of larger
stores. Zara, for example is now looking for a minimum of
2,500 sq m, Mango is after flagships of around 2,000 sq m,
while H&M seeks 3,000 sq m units in shopping centres and
anything up to 7,000 sq m on high streets, the latter necessitating
multiple floors. These groups are using their additional space to
show off other lines within their portfolios, while also rolling out
numerous sub-brands.
Such moves are again serving to consolidate performance
around the best performing street and mall environments, while
some poorer performing malls have been forced to close, further
boosting the market share of the ‘winners’.

REBECCA PEARCE, EMEA HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY AT CBRE, INVESTIGATES THE
POTENTIAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY TO BE HARD-WIRED INTO THE
RETAIL LEASING PROCESS.
Whatever one’s views on the ultimate impacts of climate change,
nobody can deny that our planet is using up its natural resources –
and generating landfill waste – at far too rapid a rate. The dilemma
at both governmental and corporate levels has been around working
out the practical steps that can be taken to slow down this effect and
make our lives more sustainable.
In retail real estate the solution could well come in the form of the
green lease. This is an initiative that has been around for a while
now, forming part of a growing movement to get landlords and
tenants working closer together to reap the environmental and
financial benefits from more sustainable behaviour.
So what is a green lease? It can take several forms, some involving
binding obligations, others implemented on a voluntary basis. In
the former case, green commitments are hard-wired into the lease
agreement itself, with potential penalties for non-compliance. In
the latter case, the commitments are often grouped into an annex
to the lease or incorporated into a non-binding memorandum of
understanding.
Typical elements within a green lease are targets around energy and
water consumption, also generation of waste to landfill. Perhaps
most significant, however, are the requirements for information
sharing in these energy/waste matters, in order to set workable
benchmarks that can drive improved performance. This requires
quite a leap of faith given the traditionally stand-offish nature of
the landlord/tenant relationship, where information has often been
closely guarded.
Some landlords are already grasping the nettle, however. Redevco
is one of the pioneers in this regard: for the past six years it has
been collecting energy/water consumption data from some 1,100
tenants, which it makes public in the form of the Redevco Retailer
Sustainability Benchmark. This is an online scorecard tool that
any retailer can consult in order gain a better insight into their
environmental performance versus their peers.
In Asia, the green lease has become a reality in several markets,
notably Singapore and Malaysia. The developer making much
of the running is Lend Lease, which has rolled out green leases
in Singapore for the 313@somerset mall which it manages, and
also at its Jem mixed use scheme, which includes an 818,000 sq ft
shopping mall. The Lend Lease green lease encourages retailers
to make use of highly efficient lighting systems, adopt recycling
strategies and reduce overall tenancy waste.
DO TENANTS HOLD THE GREEN KEYS?
While landlords appear to be making the running with green
leases, in many ways it’s the tenants who hold the key to the
concept’s ultimate success. This works in two ways: accepting green
lease clauses during the lease negotiation process; also taking a
partnership approach to energy-saving investments.
As anyone who has taken part in a lease negotiation will know,
achieving the former is not an easy task, particularly when it comes
to the legal process. Easing this bottleneck is the aim behind a new
campaign by the International Council of Shopping Centres, which
is asking the chief executives of landlords, property managers and
tenants to put their names to a sustainability declaration, with a view
that this top-level endorsement can be used to punch through legal
and other barriers.
So far a host of high profile names in the property industry have
signed up. They include Redevco, Unibail-Rodamco, ECE, M&G
Real Estate, TIAA Henderson Real Estate, BANEASA Developments
SRL, Land Securities, Immochan and CBRE. At the time of going to
press ICSC was reaching out to retailers also.
The second issue, around co-funding investment in green initiatives,
is naturally a thorny topic. The industry has long suffered from the
so-called split incentive dilemma, whereby investments made by
landlords in areas such as energy efficiency are reflected in cheaper
service charges for tenants but do not contribute to the landlord’s
bottom line until the next rent negotiation, if at all.
With this in mind, the announcement last year by
Marks & Spencer that it was collaborating with the UK’s Better
Buildings Partnership on green clauses via memoranda of
understanding, could prove telling.
Speaking at the time of the announcement, Clem Constantine,
M&S’ then Director of Property, commented: “Currently it can
be difficult for landlords and tenants to work together when it
comes to a building’s environmental performance, particularly
for older leases. There’s often no real structure for measurement,
incentives or sharing of goals. Green leasing changes this
situation as it provides the framework within which both can
work together. And both will benefit, a store with a reduced
environmental impact and lower costs is more marketable for
landlords and more cost effective for tenants to occupy – a
genuine win, win.”
Such moves towards greater collaboration can only be beneficial
to the prospects for green leases. In many markets this forms the
last real stumbling block, since the logical arguments for saving
money through energy conservation have long since been won.
It feels as though we are on the cusp of broader green lease
adoption; it’s up to everyone within the retail real estate sector
to turn this promise into reality.

BRIDGING THE GAP
LONDON: BENEFITING FROM AVAILABILITY
OF FUNDING
MANCHESTER: REGIONAL TEMPLATE FOR
THE FUTURE
Continues to dominate development funding
allocations.
Availability of funding is matching improving economic
strength and property growth.
Decent schemes with strong sponsors have access to
the most varied and cost-effective funding sources.
Pre-let schemes preferred, but flagship speculative
developments are possible.
Residential development is especially attractive:
continued upward pressure on house prices and
constrained supply.
Undergoing rejuvenation, where traditional lenders, new
funds and alternative capital providers are emerging to
support landmark schemes.
Scheme viability and structured finance solutions are key.
Innovative funding schemes are available (e.g. the North
West Evergreen Fund).
Highly supportive council and local authorities.
This revitalisation is anticipated to emanate across other
regions, which are showing similar early signs
of stimulation.
EVOLUTION TOWARDS
STRUCTURED FINANCE
SOLUTIONS
Diagram A demonstrates how the old model of significant
leverage coupled with equity has become unviable.
We are witnessing an evolution into more detailed
structured financings, consisting of various components,
becoming more common. Previous innovations would
have typically been led by the banks, but the onus is now
on the developers and their advisors to be creative if their
schemes are to be realised.
Prohibitively expensive funding is often as problematic
as an outright lack of finance as it jeopardises scheme
viability. As a solution, tiered capital structures can be
delicately assembled that carefully balance the various
costs or return hurdles of each type of finance to achieve
an overall blended rate that is feasible for the developer
and attractive to funders.
CBRE has witnessed regional schemes that have utilised
multiple combinations of senior debt, junior debt,
preferred equity and grant funding. In such situations,
these structures are often the developer’s only choice,
but can work very efficiently.
Grant funding derived from European and local
government bodies, such as the Homes and Communities
Agency and European Regional Development Fund, has
become an elusive yet crucial component of the funding
package for developers, especially outside London and
the South East. Where such grants can be secured, the
developer effectively bridges the gap between debt and
equity with little or no return hurdle, meaning more free
cash to service the other finance components.
Grant funding has become an
elusive yet crucial component of
the funding package

UKDEVELOPMENTFUNDING-ISITAVAILBLE?
Equity and debt have been scarce for development, but
rare pockets of funding are available for those who know
where to look and are prepared to be creative.
Banks have significantly reduced their loan book exposure
to development to pre-2007 levels, but are expected
to eventually stabilise at lower levels, establishing new
market norms (see Chart 1).
This can be considered as a new rebased equilibrium
where development debt constitutes an integral, but more
limited part of lending. Debt funds and new entrants are
expected to partially supplement these allocations, but
total availability is still expected to remain compressed.
Development is still a feature of traditional lenders’
origination, but commercial development accounts for
just 5% of new business (see Chart 2). Geographically,
London and the South-East dominate funding, but the
situation is slowly improving in the regions where lending
appetite is selectively returning for certain schemes.
Speculative developments typically struggle to secure
bank finance, unless strong banking relationships exist
or if the schemes are in the most attractive locations.
Alternative funders can be considered, but pricing and
leverage may be higher. Where debt cannot be sourced,
developers may resort to initially funding on an equity-
only basis, possibly with a third-party providing the capital
where the developer supplies the land and its skill. Whilst
this can be expensive, it can sometimes be the only option
available and the developer may hope to refinance with
traditional debt once pre-lettings are achieved during the
development phase.CHART 1: BANK LOAD BOOK ALLOCATIONS TO DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

WE ASKED: “HOW IMPORTANT ARE THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN A NON-FOOD SHOPPING TRIP?” THEY SAID: Managing a shopping centre is a balancing act – I’m sure some would call it a high wire act. There’s a need to balance the varied and often competing needs of tenants, as well as the different tastes and requirements of various consumer groups. More recently, shopping centre managers have also felt the need to strike a balance between getting the basics right and investing in ways to differentiate their schemes from both rival shopping destinations and the lure of the internet. In doing so, is there a risk that attention paid to the basics is pushed aside in the headlong charge to provide new and better experiences? Any schemes tempted to let this happen would do well to read through a copy of CBRE’s survey – How Consumers Shop 2014 – which questioned 21,000 consumers across 21 countries and encompasses three million data points. When these consumers were asked what motivates them to visit a shopping centre, it was the basics – price, convenience, cleanliness and security – that came out top; with the softer, more experiential elements further down the list. This doesn’t mean I’m suggesting that atmosphere, experience and entertainment should be ignored: once again it comes back to balance. In my view, if you can get your basics perfectly in order, in the most efficient and cost-effective way, you will have more resources (both time and financial) available to take your scheme to the next level in terms of creating consumer experience and connecting with your retailers in a more empathetic and cooperative way. The challenge is how to go about doing that, and this starts with understanding the basics. For example, what is clean? More specifically, how do my customers and my retailers perceive clean? It’s not rocket science to understand that customers’ perceptions on cleanliness in a prime, luxury-oriented mall are different from ALBERT HOOGLAND t: +31 30 634 80 35 e: albert.hoogland@cbre.com CREATE YOUR EXPERIENCE… BUT DON’T FORGET THE BASICS Note: Excludes ‘don’t know’ Source: How Consumers Shop 2014, CBRE those of a neighbourhood centre in a small town. There are plenty of points in between, though, and only by understanding where your scheme belongs on this spectrum and working closely with your cleaning contractor to fulfil these requirements economically will you be able to ensure you’ve got the balance right. The same goes for other elements such as security. AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH TO SHOPPING CENTRE MANAGEMENT With a portfolio of shopping centres under management that now numbers more than 230 schemes in 21 countries, CBRE’s EMEA Shopping Centre Management team has plenty of experience in striking the right balance to get the best out of an asset. More recently, we’ve begun to back that experience with a more analytical approach to the task. We’ve partnered with two specialist consultancies, Cyber and Locatus, to create the Shopping Centre Quality Monitor, a unique product for assessing and comparing the quality of individual shopping centres. Quality is assessed on the basis of three key elements: Basics, Service and Experience. Each has 65 measurable and trackable components, providing a much more detailed picture of the strengths and weaknesses of a scheme than has hitherto been possible. Working with our partners we deployed this methodology among a group of some 100 shopping centres in the Netherlands two years ago. We are now about to repeat the exercise, so we can track the progress made since that first assessment. We are also piloting the Quality Monitor in selected Central and Eastern European countries, with a view to eventually extending it across our entire European portfolio. IMPROVING THE LANDLORD/TENANT RELATIONSHIP IS KEY It’s one thing to know where you need to improve, quite another to actually achieve those improvements. And here a lot of the challenge comes back to retailer relationships. Although things have improved in recent years, the landlord/tenant relationship can still be too adversarial at times. As managers, we must strive ever harder to convince retail groups about the mutual benefits that can be derived from working more closely together. It’s easy to say ‘but they just won’t listen’ – we must ask ourselves what we can change in our own attitudes to get the retailers’ attention. In this omnichannel world the big brands don’t care what journey the consumer takes to get to them – via physical store, their laptop or their smartphone – but they do want that revenue. When cooperation between the shopping centre and retailer is good, the centre can play a role in that omnichannel customer journey, perhaps by installing click and collect points with adjoining changing rooms, for example? This is something the shopping centre can offer which the high street retail environment can’t – an advantage we should be careful not to neglect.
  • 4. Property brochure 22 23CBRE | SHOPFRONT 2014/15 CBRE | SHOPFRONT 2014/15 CONFIDENCE IS RETURNING TO THE SPANISH RETAIL MARKET AS INVESTORS SCRAMBLE FOR THE BEST ASSETS AMID RECORD TRANSACTION VOLUMES. ALEX BARBANY t: +34 93 444 7711 e: alex.barbany@cbre.com After three years of painful recession, the Spanish economy has finally returned to growth in 2014, with a similarly positive performance expected to continue into 2015. A feeling that there’s now light at the end of the tunnel has truly taken hold, putting smiles back on the faces of many. Even stubbornly high (above 20%) unemployment levels have failed to dampen consumer confidence, which is back to its pre-crisis levels after increasing substantially during the past 12 months. This is having its biggest effect in the wealthiest regions, SPAIN where the money didn’t really disappear but spending was held back by a lack of confidence. Elsewhere, though, it may still take some time before the macroeconomic improvements filter through to the retail market. As a result, we are seeing an increasing polarisation of trading performance between the dominant regional shopping centres, where sales are growing by double-digits, and the rest, where sales are flat or falling. INVESTORS FLOCK TO SPAIN The most significant retail story of the year is undoubtedly the flood of investment capital into the Spanish shopping centre segment. At the time of going to press investment volumes had already reached €1.7 billion and by the end of 2014 that figure could well have climbed to between €2 and €2.5 billion. For comparison, the previous record volume was €2 billion achieved in 2007, on the eve of the financial crisis. Among the principal buyers are the newly-created Socimis (equivalent to REITS) such as MERLIN and Lar, together with fund managers, notably CBRE Global Investors and TIAA Henderson, and private equity investors including Oaktree and Incus Capital among others. Their enthusiasm for the best assets has seen yield compression of around 125-150 bps during the last 12 months, with prime shopping centres now being traded at net initial yields of around 5.5%-5.75%, while prime high street properties yield around 4.5%. Looking ahead, we predict that values of secondary high street assets will rise during the next couple of years, as investors switch their attention to this part of the market due to the total lack of investment opportunities on the prime streets. The surging investment market is also having a major knock-on effect in the development area, in two distinct ways. The first is an upturn in refurbishments and extensions, as new owners free up funds to asset manage their new properties, many of which have been starved of investment in recent years due to the financial constraints in the market. The second is a new wave of greenfield developments by the retail specialists, who have been crowded out of the investment market by the pure financial players. Notable pipeline schemes that underline this trend include Carrefour Property’s 60,000 sq m S’Estada in Palma de Mallorca, General de Galerias Comerciales’ c.90,000 sq m Parque Nevada in Granada, plus four projects by Intu in Malaga, Vigo, Valencia and Mallorca, each around 200,000 sq m Unibail-Rodamco, meanwhile, has two major extension/ refurbishments projects in Barcelona. RETAILERS ALSO FLOCKING IN Spain never really went off the radars of the international retailers, but 2014 has seen a significant upturn in new brands arriving. This is particularly apparent in the aspirational/luxury segment, where sales are underpinned by the millions of tourists who flock to Madrid and Barcelona. New arrivals here include Longchamp, Canali, Brunello Cucinelli, Jo Malone, Dior, Twin-Set and Coach. In another significant move, the Saudi Arabian franchise specialist Fawaz AlHokair has entered the Spanish market via a takeover of the domestic group Blanco. As well as promising to revitalise this brand, it seems likely that Fawaz AlHokair will bring some of the many other brands it controls to the market in the coming years. Established retailers, particularly in the fashion segment, are seeking to rationalise their estates into fewer numbers of larger stores. Zara, for example is now looking for a minimum of 2,500 sq m, Mango is after flagships of around 2,000 sq m, while H&M seeks 3,000 sq m units in shopping centres and anything up to 7,000 sq m on high streets, the latter necessitating multiple floors. These groups are using their additional space to show off other lines within their portfolios, while also rolling out numerous sub-brands. Such moves are again serving to consolidate performance around the best performing street and mall environments, while some poorer performing malls have been forced to close, further boosting the market share of the ‘winners’. 2014 HAS SEEN A SIGNIFICANT UPTURN IN NEW BRANDS ARRIVING KEY TRENDS IDENTIFIED: Investment capital flooding into Spain and fighting for the best assets; consumer confidence on the rise again; retail specialists planning a wave of new schemes
  • 5. Property brochure 38 39CBRE | SHOPFRONT 2014/15 CBRE | SHOPFRONT 2014/15 REBECCA PEARCE, EMEA HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY AT CBRE, INVESTIGATES THE POTENTIAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY TO BE HARD-WIRED INTO THE RETAIL LEASING PROCESS. Whatever one’s views on the ultimate impacts of climate change, nobody can deny that our planet is using up its natural resources – and generating landfill waste – at far too rapid a rate. The dilemma at both governmental and corporate levels has been around working out the practical steps that can be taken to slow down this effect and make our lives more sustainable. In retail real estate the solution could well come in the form of the green lease. This is an initiative that has been around for a while now, forming part of a growing movement to get landlords and tenants working closer together to reap the environmental and financial benefits from more sustainable behaviour. So what is a green lease? It can take several forms, some involving binding obligations, others implemented on a voluntary basis. In the former case, green commitments are hard-wired into the lease agreement itself, with potential penalties for non-compliance. In the latter case, the commitments are often grouped into an annex to the lease or incorporated into a non-binding memorandum of understanding. Typical elements within a green lease are targets around energy and water consumption, also generation of waste to landfill. Perhaps most significant, however, are the requirements for information sharing in these energy/waste matters, in order to set workable benchmarks that can drive improved performance. This requires quite a leap of faith given the traditionally stand-offish nature of the landlord/tenant relationship, where information has often been closely guarded. Some landlords are already grasping the nettle, however. Redevco is one of the pioneers in this regard: for the past six years it has been collecting energy/water consumption data from some 1,100 tenants, which it makes public in the form of the Redevco Retailer Sustainability Benchmark. This is an online scorecard tool that any retailer can consult in order gain a better insight into their environmental performance versus their peers. In Asia, the green lease has become a reality in several markets, notably Singapore and Malaysia. The developer making much of the running is Lend Lease, which has rolled out green leases in Singapore for the 313@somerset mall which it manages, and also at its Jem mixed use scheme, which includes an 818,000 sq ft shopping mall. The Lend Lease green lease encourages retailers to make use of highly efficient lighting systems, adopt recycling strategies and reduce overall tenancy waste. DO TENANTS HOLD THE GREEN KEYS? While landlords appear to be making the running with green leases, in many ways it’s the tenants who hold the key to the concept’s ultimate success. This works in two ways: accepting green lease clauses during the lease negotiation process; also taking a partnership approach to energy-saving investments. As anyone who has taken part in a lease negotiation will know, achieving the former is not an easy task, particularly when it comes to the legal process. Easing this bottleneck is the aim behind a new campaign by the International Council of Shopping Centres, which is asking the chief executives of landlords, property managers and tenants to put their names to a sustainability declaration, with a view that this top-level endorsement can be used to punch through legal and other barriers. So far a host of high profile names in the property industry have signed up. They include Redevco, Unibail-Rodamco, ECE, M&G Real Estate, TIAA Henderson Real Estate, BANEASA Developments SRL, Land Securities, Immochan and CBRE. At the time of going to press ICSC was reaching out to retailers also. The second issue, around co-funding investment in green initiatives, is naturally a thorny topic. The industry has long suffered from the so-called split incentive dilemma, whereby investments made by landlords in areas such as energy efficiency are reflected in cheaper service charges for tenants but do not contribute to the landlord’s bottom line until the next rent negotiation, if at all. With this in mind, the announcement last year by Marks & Spencer that it was collaborating with the UK’s Better Buildings Partnership on green clauses via memoranda of understanding, could prove telling. Speaking at the time of the announcement, Clem Constantine, M&S’ then Director of Property, commented: “Currently it can be difficult for landlords and tenants to work together when it comes to a building’s environmental performance, particularly for older leases. There’s often no real structure for measurement, incentives or sharing of goals. Green leasing changes this situation as it provides the framework within which both can work together. And both will benefit, a store with a reduced environmental impact and lower costs is more marketable for landlords and more cost effective for tenants to occupy – a genuine win, win.” Such moves towards greater collaboration can only be beneficial to the prospects for green leases. In many markets this forms the last real stumbling block, since the logical arguments for saving money through energy conservation have long since been won. It feels as though we are on the cusp of broader green lease adoption; it’s up to everyone within the retail real estate sector to turn this promise into reality.

Availability of funding is matching improving economic strength and property growth. Decent schemes with strong sponsors have access to the most varied and cost-effective funding sources. Pre-let schemes preferred, but flagship speculative developments are possible. Residential development is especially attractive: continued upward pressure on house prices and constrained supply. Undergoing rejuvenation, where traditional lenders, new funds and alternative capital providers are emerging to support landmark schemes. Scheme viability and structured finance solutions are key. Innovative funding schemes are available (e.g. the North West Evergreen Fund). Highly supportive council and local authorities. This revitalisation is anticipated to emanate across other regions, which are showing similar early signs of stimulation. EVOLUTION TOWARDS STRUCTURED FINANCE SOLUTIONS Diagram A demonstrates how the old model of significant leverage coupled with equity has become unviable. We are witnessing an evolution into more detailed structured financings, consisting of various components, becoming more common. Previous innovations would have typically been led by the banks, but the onus is now on the developers and their advisors to be creative if their schemes are to be realised. Prohibitively expensive funding is often as problematic as an outright lack of finance as it jeopardises scheme viability. As a solution, tiered capital structures can be delicately assembled that carefully balance the various costs or return hurdles of each type of finance to achieve an overall blended rate that is feasible for the developer and attractive to funders. CBRE has witnessed regional schemes that have utilised multiple combinations of senior debt, junior debt, preferred equity and grant funding. In such situations, these structures are often the developer’s only choice, but can work very efficiently. Grant funding derived from European and local government bodies, such as the Homes and Communities Agency and European Regional Development Fund, has become an elusive yet crucial component of the funding package for developers, especially outside London and the South East. Where such grants can be secured, the developer effectively bridges the gap between debt and equity with little or no return hurdle, meaning more free cash to service the other finance components.

Equity and debt have been scarce for development, but rare pockets of funding are available for those who know where to look and are prepared to be creative. Banks have significantly reduced their loan book exposure to development to pre-2007 levels, but are expected to eventually stabilise at lower levels, establishing new market norms (see Chart 1). This can be considered as a new rebased equilibrium where development debt constitutes an integral, but more limited part of lending. Debt funds and new entrants are expected to partially supplement these allocations, but total availability is still expected to remain compressed. Development is still a feature of traditional lenders’ origination, but commercial development accounts for just 5% of new business (see Chart 2). Geographically, London and the South-East dominate funding, but the situation is slowly improving in the regions where lending appetite is selectively returning for certain schemes. Speculative developments typically struggle to secure bank finance, unless strong banking relationships exist or if the schemes are in the most attractive locations. Alternative funders can be considered, but pricing and leverage may be higher. Where debt cannot be sourced, developers may resort to initially funding on an equity- only basis, possibly with a third-party providing the capital where the developer supplies the land and its skill. Whilst this can be expensive, it can sometimes be the only option available and the developer may hope to refinance with traditional debt once pre-lettings are achieved during the development phase.CHART 1: BANK LOAD BOOK ALLOCATIONS TO DEVELOPMENT FINANCE £bn £50.0 £45.0 £40.0 £35.0 £30.0 £25.0 £20.0 £15.0 £10.0 £5.0 £0.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013Est Residential development (banks) Fully pre-let commercial (banks) Speculative development (banks) CHART 2: TRADITIONAL LENDERS’ ALLOCATION OF NEW LENDING IN 2012 Source: DeMontford and CBRE Investment Commercial Development Residential Development Source: DeMontford IS DEVELOPMENT FUNDING AVAILABLE?
