■Summary

  • Japan’s real GDP shrank due to declining exports in the second quarter for the first time in three quarters. Construction costs have remained at a high level even after the somewhat eased labor shortages halted the surging trend. Housing starts have turned to a strong growth from the stagnation which continued ever since last year’s consumption tax hike.
  • Office vacancy rates have improved in major cities. While Tokyo’s grade-A office rents rose by 7.1% q-o-q in the second quarter, the grade-B rents declined by 4.6%. Although the absorbed volume has been moderate recently, office demand still looks healthy with preleasing activities seen in new buildings to be completed in the second half of the year.
  • Residential rents have been on the upward trend. Hotel occupancy rates have remained very high, supported by the growing number of foreign visitors and local travelers. Foreign visitors have also contributed to retail sales especially in urban department stores. The demand for large logistics facilities has remained strong with no vacant spaces left in Tokyo Bay area.
  • The J-REIT market declined by 3.3% in the second quarter, affected by the volatile bond market and the Greek debt crisis. J-REITs have acquired even more assets than last year despite difficult low yield conditions.
