Investment properties in the spring
economic vacancy has decreased by 1.8 percentage points corresponding to an extra revenue of 1.8 billion DKK.
The economic vacancy is 8.8 percent, which is a decrease of 0.2 percentage points compared to last quarter and 0.8 percentage points compared to last year. This is a fourth-quarter-in-a-row improvement and the vacancy rate is now at the same level as in the beginning of 2011. The economic vacancy was four percent in 2007. Thus, there is room for further decrease, and this can be expected as the Danish economy is in progress. You can say that it is springtime for investment properties and that even lower vacancy rates can be expected in the time to come.
In January 2017, the economic vacancy for office is 11.9 percent. It is a decrease of 0.3 percentage points compared to last quarter and 0.7 percentage points compared to last year. From 2012 to 2016, the economic vacancy has been stable between 11 and 13 percent. Hopefully, the positive trends in Danish economy can change that and contribute to a future decrease in vacancy below 11 percent as in 2011, cf. figure 1. The decrease in economic vacancy last quarter – as well as the quarter before – is due to increases in actual rent for rentals, a slightly decreasing vacancy rent and because of the conversion of vacant offices. In October and January, vacancy rent was higher for existing rentals than for newly rented offices, which brings up the economic vacancy a little. It does not apply to retail where existing rentals in October and January brings down the economic vacancy. This is caused by rental value from newly rented retail rentals in January are higher than the vacancy rent from the new vacant rentals from January. That is one of the essential reasons to the decrease in economic vacancy
An economic vacancy of 8.8 percent corresponds to 8.8 billion DKK waiting for new tenants having an assumption of a total rental value of 100 billion DKK at the Danish investment property market. There will always be a certain economic vacancy and the lost rental value will never reach 0. However, it is realistic that the total economic vacancy will decrease to four percent over time. This would mean 4.8 billion DKK in extra revenue for owners of investment properties as well as more activity. The last four years, the

within retail now down by 0.4 percentage points compared to last quarter, giving an economic vacancy rate within retail of 8.0 percent. This is the lowest economic vacancy since 2009 for retail. The economic vacancy for industry is 11.7 percent, implying a decrease of 0.3 percentage points compared to last quarter and 1.0 percentage points compared to last year. A major reason in the quarterly decrease is that the actual rent for industry rentals has increased. While professional properties have a decreasing economic vacancy, the economic vacancy for residential has increased by 0.3 percentage points compared to last quarter. A total economic vacancy within residential of 3.2 percent is still very low, corresponding to the vacancy level for residential in 2007.
The spatial vacancy is 9.4 percent A decrease in spatial vacancy is also seen, now at 9.4 percent, which is a decrease of 0.2 percentage points compared to last quarter and 1.3 percentage points compared to last year. There is a decreasing economic vacancy for professional properties, while the spatial vacancy has had a slight increase of 0.1 percentage points ending at 2.9 percent. The spatial vacancy for residential has not been above 3.4 percent during the last three years. Spatial vacancy for retail, industry and residential is lower than the economic vacancy, meaning that it is the expensive rentals that are vacant. Regarding office, it is the cheaper rentals which are vacant, as the spatial vacancy is higher than the economic vacancy.
