NOVELTY AND CHANGES

2018 has been and will be a very important year in the history of Amat Immobiliaris. Three important events have happened during this year. We started the year with the generational change in the Company’s Management. A fact that have been prepared for a long time, but when the day arrives it has a significant importance inside and outside the company. It takes an adaptation time to everyone and, at the same time, become aware of the new responsibilities. It is not something that is achieved overnight, but little by little, and with work and communication, all the members of the Amat world (workers, managers, family members, customers, suppliers and collaborators) adapt to the new reality. The next remarkable fact of 2018 has been the opening of the new corporate ADAPTATION PROCESS headquarters on the Via Augusta 3, in AND AWARENESS Barcelona. Almost two years ago we OF THE NEW were exploring the market looking for RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE a new location as a positioning leap forward in Barcelona, and luckily we GENERATIONAL RELAY. were able to do it in 2018 Easter. It is more than a new office, since it also represents a very relevant organizational change and that has helped to consolidate the generational relief. And finally in 2018 we have also celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the company. We celebrated it in two different events in July that we linked with the opening of the new office in Via Augusta. Two emotional days where part of the Amat world were there and where culture was one of the important pillars. In addition, we did all this facts while we still thinking about the future. In a world changing every day, we have continued working to point towards the strategic lines that will have to be followed to adapt to the new reality of the future.

ASSESSORAMENT D’INVERSIONS

30 Activity Report 2018

The consulting department wants to overcome the axis of the real estate intermediation to obtain investment and divestments solutions, which move away from the short term, and cover all the client’s needs in each circumstance (successions, sale of the company, construction or disintegration of an estate, need for investment due to fiscal reasons...). To provide this service, we are in permanent training, attentive to the movements of the sector, to the main market trends and to a constantly changing regulation. This is based on a team of specialized professionals, technicians, economists, urban planners, capable of responding to the complexities of each specific case. The investment advice tries to be perfectly informed of the “trends” of the real estate investment market to expand and modify its portfolio with different real estate businesses (senior living, coworking, coliving...), but giving independent advice to these trends, adapting to the specific case and not to a particular market moment. We understand the real estate business as a medium and long-term business. The accumulated data of our clients show us that the real estate business is good as long as it is analyzed at 10 years. Land It is the row material of the real estate business and therefore it is subject to strong demand in bullish times, to strong pressure

from public administrations. All interests converge on the land. Our land department is prepared to take part in all phases of the land, in its generation (urban area), its commercialization, in its promotion, etc. In 2018 the demand for land has been circumscribed even in the Barcelona first crown and especially its surroundings, which is an area where the promotion of new construction works very well.

SECURITY, CONFIDENTIALITY, INFORMATION The finalist lands within the city and in the environment are limited, and therefore they have a good exit in the market. However, this 2018 the administration published regulations that directly affect the land, it say that exist the obligation to make social flats in a percentage of homes, this with the right of refusal and retraction that have made this market suffer. On the one hand, it’s faster to obtain the urban development certificates and licenses speeding up the construction; and the stoppage of land purchases. We are strong upholders of the need to make social housing, but not like this, lately everything that they done is to legislate opportunistically and electorally, without a plan or a strategy, responding to difficult


CONSULTANCY AREA

_ We know the market enough to be able to advise the developer if they should purchase and what price the land must be paid for the success of the promotion. _ Advise to the property developers on the design of future homes, the selling companies are the ones that know best what customers want and what they need, and because of that we can provide value and knowledge at the moment of defining the projects. Buildings The buildings commercialization requires a great knowledge background of the real estate sector. You have to know about urban planning to analyze if it is regularized or if it can do it, you have to know about investments to assess whether the profitability is correct, you have to know about leases to analyze the legal situation of each home and you have to know a lot about the market. Logistics Some time ago, the logistics sector is rising. The strategic situation of our territory has meant that it is consolidating as a reference hub in southern Europe. The exponential growth of electronic commerce is one of the main factors, but without the internationalization of our companies and an infrastructure improvement, it wouldn’t have been possible. All these factors have bring about to search logistic grounds in the Barcelona metropolitan area has been increased in recent years, for the construction of large warehouses (20,000sqm minimum). Currently, there is a great demand, but a lack

of significant supply. Opportunities may be on land that lacks planning. We think that we would be the rethinking of the uses of many of the industrial estates consolidated and close to urban centers that do not allow logistic use. We think it would favor one of the most critical points in the sector. Industrial Our experience in this sector focuses on industrial estates in towns near Barcelona such as: Sant Just, Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Sant Joan DespĂ­, etc. There the industrial activity is going down and with an old industrial fleet and quite far from current regulations, if we talk about the terms of facilities. We find a second problem with the restrictions of uses. Current regulations can be different on each municipality, and that make difficult to implement it according to some type economic activities. These two elements mainly affect the rental market and cause that the asset value focus on land and not on the construction. Because of this we consider that on the one hand it is imperative that public administrations rethink the rules that currently govern these industrial estate and, on the other hand, the owners must also do their part being flexible and creative to capture the new typology of companies.

URBAN PLANNING CONSULTANCY In the urban planning advice is very different when it comes to advising about specific lands or properties with a certain rating. To advise and manage it, the first thing you need is to have patience, think and know that the deadlines are never what you would think at the beginning, are always more long. We must also consider that everything has become more complicated, the town halls are formed by different political parties that have to be agreed and this is never easy or fast. We have a lot of experience managing and processing plans, a topic that we like is the creation of the future city, and we believe that we can contribute knowledge, and that is so important in the generation and processing of a plan.

social moments or electoral requirements. It is also necessary to emphasize that the obtaining of building licenses is strenuous for property developers, for the owner and for the administration itself, it is necessary to take measures. In Amat we like to go hand by hand with the property developer from the purchase of land, we believe that our intervention is very important because of two aspects:

CHALLENGES FOR 2019 One of the challenges we set to 2019 was to renew the Balmes/Padua office to be used as a “boutique” for Luxury. We believe that because of the space, situation and characteristics it’s perfect for this type of real estate that requires a different environment and treatment. Soon we will open our new boutique.

WE WILL DESTINATE THE BALMES OFFICE TO BE THE BOUTIQUE LUXURY Greendex with one of the innovative companies in Barcelona. An indicator that allows us to position each home in the City of Barcelona in relation to the quantity and quality of green in its environment. We think that it is an index that concern for the environment and this is what our society values more every day.

We have also dedicated many efforts to achieve a better automation process in the area of ​​Property Administration and Administration of Resident’s Associations, automation has many advantages, but a very important one; it’s that limits the error range.

.

If the property is well identified, all expenses are periodized well, and the correct indicators are introduced, the possibility of human error almost disappears.
