The document discusses how the real estate industry has changed over the past decade and is expected to change in the future. It summarizes that in the past decade, real estate became a global asset class but the industry faced challenges from the 2008 recession. However, an even bigger change was recognizing real estate's role in addressing challenges like climate change and urbanization. This led to a focus on developing sustainable, "liveable" cities that improve quality of life through integrated transportation, infrastructure, business and community spaces. The industry is now focused on developing mixed-use, human-scale communities rather than just maximizing profits.
Ken Smith presented research on international mergers and acquisitions activity by Canadian and US companies from 2000-2009. The research found that both countries experienced significant net losses of ownership control through outbound deals that were not matched by inbound deals. Canadian deal flows showed a net loss of over $75 billion while US deal flows showed a net loss of over $162 billion. The research also found that domestic and continental deals in both countries tended to create more shareholder value than overseas deals. The presentation concluded with recommendations for business leaders, boards, and policymakers to improve competitiveness in cross-border M&A.

Place RESI 2015: Graham Stock and John Cooper, Deloitte Real EstatePlace North West
The document discusses planning and the housing market outlook for 2015 in the UK, with a focus on Manchester. It summarizes that the UK economy is improving. The North West region is experiencing an economic renaissance, led by Manchester, which is growing rapidly in population and economic outputs due to factors like graduate retention. However, Manchester faces challenges meeting housing demand, with over 60,000 new units needed by 2027. Recent development commitments and planned areas could help address this, but rising land values pose issues. Devolution of powers and upcoming planning frameworks may also shape future development as the region works to sustain growth.

The document discusses how the construction industry in the UK needs to change in order to sustain economic recovery and face future challenges. While construction output and jobs are growing, productivity is not, risking inflation and job losses. The industry needs innovation in both products and processes through new technologies like 3D printing, digital modeling, and off-site construction. However, cultural change is also needed to fully realize the benefits of new technologies through collaborative working practices. Government policies around sustainability and zero-carbon standards also need clarity and urgency to help drive the necessary transformation of the industry.

CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION
STOP PRESS for the latest IPF “Midlands Matters” which highlights what the IPF have been busy with in the
Midlands Region since last autumn together with what is on the radar going forward and some other topical
issues.
Despite Brexit, tough economic conditions and a host of challenging insolvencies the whole of the Midlands
property market seems to stride on. Developments such as Snow Hill, Arena Central, Paradise, Infinity Park,
East Midlands Gateway and IM’s scheme in Hinckley are just a few highlights of a massive development
programme over the Midlands, East and West. Couple this with infrastructure projects in the form of HS2 and
even a possible Nottingham/Derby tram, and activity seems to be set to run on. Even the demise of Carillion
(who you will know had been working on the Paradise project) has hardly seemed to put a dent in the impetus
there, with BAM Construction stepping in to move matters forward.
Good news but challenges ‘a plenty’ and as ever the IPF continues to try to help arm its members against these
through market ‘intel’ and informed debate.
I have one piece of committee news to impart to you all. Rebecca Millard of GVA has accepted our invitation to join the board here in
Birmingham and will be (amongst other things) our resident valuation expert. A little more about Rebecca features below.
BEST WISHES FOR THE SUMMER Darren
Rebecca Millard is the lead Senior Director in the Valuation Consultancy department of the Birmingham office
of GVA with 27 years of commercial valuation experience. She joined the firm in 2009 after 18 years at King

back to the Midlands in 1996. Rebecca specialises in co-ordinating large national valuation projects and
particularly enjoys the industrial sector. She loves travelling the world with her husband David and their two
sons Oliver and William whenever the opportunity arises. A trip to New Zealand to watch Oliver play rugby
was the highlight of last year.

4. PRS – AN INTERACTIVE DEBATE
HOME // PREVIOUS // NEXT
MIDLANDS EVENTS

According to Dan Batterton, fund manager for L&G UK Build to Rent Fund, L&G is also
developing its own assets, a decision partly influenced by the lack of standing stock to
acquire.
“This gives us control over the apartment mix, communal facilities and management space.
In the longer term this allows us to manage operational costs and provide occupiers with high
levels of service,” he said.
In Birmingham L&G is building 220 units at Newhall Square in a £53m deal in partnership with
Spitfire Bespoke Homes. L&G has 1,909 apartments in the development pipeline, in seven
regional towns and cities.
Both Dan and Ed Ellerington, national acquisitions director at Grainger, agreed that
the PRS market was immature, and there was much to be done to educate the public
about the benefits of renting from a single institutional landlord.
The provision of facilities and services included in the rent package is one way of
doing this. On-site teams to take in deliveries and organise repairs, car clubs,
housekeeping services, furniture packs, free wifi, gyms and communal residents’
lounges all help differentiate the PRS offer from private individual landlords. One
offer that is proving a real winner is the ability to have pets.
Ed said: “We have a pet-friendly allocation in all of our developments. More than 60
per cent of these units are let to tenants who don’t have a pet – they simply like the
idea of maybe acquiring one!”

At a recent seminar, the IPF Midlands welcomed speakers from Grainger and Legal & General, two of the most active participants in this
sector, to talk about the burgeoning Private Rented Sector.
In Birmingham, Grainger is forward funding the Gilders Yard development - in partnership with Blackswan - to the tune of £28m. The 156
one and two-bed apartment scheme in the Jewellery Quarter will be delivered in late 2019.

5. MSCI RESULTS LAUNCH

MIDLANDS EVENTS

Will Robson presented total returns of 10.2% for real estate,
which was broadly split 50:50 between income return and capital
growth. Considering these results in more detail, the industrial
sector was the real star performer, with total returns of 19.6%,
well ahead of most other sectors.
2018’s IPF Midlands calendar kicked off with the MSCI – 2017 Real Estate Results Launch and Market Insight, presented by MSCI’s Head of
Real Estate Applied Research, Will Robson which also included a presentation from Aviva’s Global Head of Real Estate Research, Chris
Urwin.
Looking forward, Chris Urwin suggested real estate offered
attractive relative pricing in comparison with most other
investment classes, but warned that the wider economic conditions
has led to the balance of identifiable risks is trending towards a
negative impact on the market.

6. PROPERTY CYCLES SEMINAR – PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE BY DR ROBIN GOODCHILD
HOME // PREVIOUS // NEXT
MIDLANDS EVENTS
Sponsored by
The UK’s commercial property boom looks set to continue for at least another seven
years, according to a leading property industry adviser and strategist. Based on
previous property boom and bust cycles, the next significant market downturn could
occur in 2025, 16 years after the last big crash in 2008/09.
Speaking at the IPF, Dr Robin Goodchild, special adviser at LaSalle Investment
Management, said: “The nature of property markets is cyclical. They boom and then
they bust. By looking back at past cycles, history tells us that significant market events
have occurred every 16 to 18 years, so from this we can predict the next one could
happen around 2025.
“This is by no means inevitable. Unlike previous property market downturns in the early ‘70s, late ‘80s and the global financial crisis,
which were debt driven, we are now in an equity driven market, which is much more stable.” Dr Goodchild said there were important
lessons to be learnt from previous property cycles that will help avoid, or at least mitigate, the impact of the next big downturn.
The problem comes when those who haven’t experienced a significant downturn and so have no knowledge of its effects, reach positions
of seniority in their organisations.
“Pay close attention to commercial property values; if they increase by more than 25 per
cent in a two to three-year period there is a very high probability that a bust will occur.
“In the property booms of the 1970s, late 80s and prior to the global financial crisis,
commercial property real capital values peaked at 27.9 per cent, 29.5 per cent and 31.2
per cent respectively. In 2014/15, capital values reached 21 per cent, which wasn’t
enough to be classed as a boom and therefore a bust didn’t follow.
“Looking ahead there is a high chance the next major boom/bust cycle will occur around
the middle of the next decade. It’s not inevitable, but all things being equal, much more
likely than an immediate correction.”

7. DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY – UK COMMERCIAL PROPERTY LENDING
HOME // PREVIOUS // NEXT
MIDLANDS EVENTS
Sponsored by
Real estate developers in the West Midlands looking to beef up their borrowings can expect a more sympathetic ear from property
funders.
A panel of experts at the launch of the Cass Commercial Real Estate Lending Survey, hosted by the Midlands IPF, reported that the region
is now “an internationally recognised market for lenders.”
Nicole Lux, of Cass Business School and the author of the report, presented its findings at the
Brindleyplace offices of GVA. A Question Time debate was then chaired by David Smith of Strata
Real Estate, when Emma Huepfl, co-principal of real estate debt specialists Laxfield Capital,
and Neil Odom-Haslett, head of commercial real estate lending at Aberdeen Standard, fielded
questions from a 60-strong audience, drawn from the region’s property community.
Emma Huepfl said: “The quality of office schemes in Birmingham, a strong regional logistics
markets and rising house prices mean the fundamentals across the West Midlands have never
been better. Investment turnover last year in the Midlands was £2.5bn, with Birmingham
accounting for half of that. Overseas investors make up thirty per cent of the demand - which
means from a Lender’s point of view it’s a very substantial and internationally recognised
market and one we naturally want to be part of.”
The Cass survey (formerly De Montfort) is the leading research in its field, with 80 lenders, including UK and overseas banks and building
societies, insurance companies and non-bank lenders surveyed.
This year’s report showed that development loans of £8.7bn were advanced in 2017, up 13 per cent on the previous year. Residential
development accounted for the bulk of this, but the survey revealed lenders are willing to fund commercial developments and are
prepared to take on more risk. The expert panel anticipated that the current property cycle had a further 18-24 months to run.
Neil Odom-Haslett said: “We are at the mature end of the property cycle, but we are far from the peak of the lending cycle. There is a
good weight of capital, with more to come.”
Richard Round, relationship director for Lloyds Bank Commercial Real Estate in the Midlands, who chaired the event, added: “The
commercial property debt market is at its strongest for many years. Borrowers in the West Midlands, in particular, should be encouraged
by the extremely positive sentiment lenders have towards the region and its prospects.”

MIDLANDS EVENTS – LUNCH
Sponsored by
Over 500 members of the Midlands IPF and senior representatives from across the property industry came together in May for the
annual IPF lunch at Birmingham’s ICC. Guest speaker this year was the charismatic and eloquent Justin Webb. Formerly the BBC’s
North America correspondent, and now Radio 4 Today presenter, Justin offered some interesting views on Donald Trump and his
predecessors at The White House. Not to be outdone, our own Midlands Chairman, Darren Williamson, highlighted the importance of
Proptech going forward and offered the very thought-provoking words of Steve Jobs as something people should reflect on;
“Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have faith in people, that they are basically good and smart, and if you give
them the tools they’ll do wonderful things with them”.

This is the 6th annual survey of investment in the UK residential sector, based on responses from over 50
institutions and large-scale investors. This research provides an indication of the appetite for residential
property, as well as continuing barriers to potential investors.
Respondents to the 2017 survey own or manage investments worth in excess of £3.5tn, of which UK real estate
comprises c.£240bn (c.7% of all assets).
Data on land values is important for market analysis and policy making but there is little information available in
the UK on prices or values, particularly for commercial land uses. This research reviews sources of land prices
and how residual land value may be estimated.

14. COMMENTARY – BDO GLOBAL REIT REPORT 2018
At the beginning of the year we interviewed 35 REITs from across the world with a
combined market capitalisation of $130bn.
Like all real estate companies, REITs found themselves at a turning point at the
beginning of 2018. Our survey highlighted that the majority of those interviewed
felt the real estate cycle in their market was at or past its peak.
However, notwithstanding this, these REIT leaders were on the whole very
confident about their ability to weather any oncoming headwinds for the real estate
sector. Lowly geared and not overexposed to development, the sector looks much
better placed to endure a downturn than before the onset of the last financial
crisis.

OVERVIEW OF REPORT – BY RUSSELL FIELD, HEAD OF GLOBAL REAL ESTATE AT BDO
As for where the sector as a whole heads from here, REIT leaders feel that the sector will continue the last decade’s trend of expansion in
spite of the fact that depressed share prices in some countries will inevitably lead to privatisations and consolidation.
But there was also a feeling that in order to appeal to shareholders beyond the
traditional REIT specialists, companies in the sector need to be more true to their
label and prioritise income returns over capital growth.
In terms of the specific issues occupying the minds of REIT senior management, the
impact of interest rate rises was cited as the foremost short term issue. But again,
while most felt that rates were set to rise soon, they also thought that REITs could
stomach a rise of 100 basis points or more before this would start to have a
significant effect on their business.
In the longer term, it is the impact of millennials’ aspirations within the workplace
that they feel will have the biggest impact on their business models. Conversations
with some of those very millennials reveal that above all they want a workplace
that helps to foster egalitarianism and gives them the ability to learn.

15. COMMENTARY – BDO GLOBAL REIT REPORT 2018
HOME // PREVIOUS // NEXT

What does the future hold for the global REIT sector?
The REIT leaders canvassed for this report are confident that the listed real estate sector will continue to grow and to thrive.
In the longer term there is a feeling that a more standardised global REIT regime could help the sector in both emerging and mature
geographies.
In the more immediate term, REIT leaders felt that there are changes afoot that could make the sector more appealing to generalist
investors; and that in some jurisdictions the discount to net asset value at which many REITs are trading at this point in the cycle will
lead to merger and acquisition activity.
Slightly less than half of REIT leaders felt that the listed real estate sector will continue to grow in the next 12-24 months, with around a
third feeling it will stay roughly the same size.
The trends that will affect real estate long term
To conclude the report, interviewees were asked to play the role of
prognosticator, and rank a series of societal, demographic and technological
trends according to which they felt would have the biggest influence on
their business over the coming years.
As populations age, pension funds and insurance companies have an ever
greater need for secure and stable long-term income to match their growing
liabilities. REITs should be an excellent vehicle to provide this, especially in
a low interest rate environment. However, it is to the other end of the age
spectrum which REITs have particularly turned their attention. The impact
of millennials on the workplace was deemed the change that would have
the biggest impact on REITs over the next few years.
It is worth focusing on one point which interviewees from across the world all raised as the most important element of their working
environment. When discussing modern, open-plan offices, and the positives of corporates adopting strategies like activity-based working
and hot desking, collaboration is often cited as the primary benefit. Click here for a full version of the report.
