STRATEGIES FOR THE NEW FINANCIAL YEAR AHEAD As the new financial year kicks into gear, we clean the slate and start to assess better strategies to make the year ahead a more successful one.

For tenants looking to relocate offices, the strategy will need to be formed around challenges in the current market such a securing space with such a limited supply of stock, finding value with the highest office rents we’ve seen in Sydney and locking in a good deal with current low incentives.

At the moment, when assessing a relocation, tenants are searching longer and educating themselves about higher rents.

They are carefully managing current

versus future spatial needs and as a result, adapting total budgets to factor in higher rents.

And when the planets align, and the right property presents itself, they will need to make faster decisions or miss out.

please register your office requirements with us early so we can plan your next move carefully.

Don’t forget, a great strategy brings the best results and we can help you with both.

All the best,

At Ray White our Agents are short on stock and have large large supply of active tenants looking for space.

Lessors will be interested to note that we offer listings in this digital magazine at no charge. It’s emailed to over 10,000 business each month and offers fantastic exposure for your property.

Or are you a tenant looking for space soon? We’d love to hear from you, so

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

ADAPTING TO HIGHER OFFICE RENTS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR MANY OVERSEAS BUSINESSES, AUSTRALIA AND I T S C E N T R E O F C O M M E R C E , S Y D N E Y, I S T H E N U M B E R ONE CHOICE TO INVEST AND GROW A BUSINESSES. Australia offers political stability, low interest rates, a warm friendly community, proactive government infrastructure and commercial development strategies, sensible banking practices and a strong housing and investment market.

Combine this with our great schools,terrific climate and a lifestyle with diverse cultural harmony and it’s easy to see why Australia is so desirable. This has been the backbone driving strong demand for business investment and demand for office space in Sydney.

The Martin Place precinct is no longer a banking and legal precinct.

We now have Linkedin, Expedia, Tesla, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Apple, Amazon, Wotif, Freelancer, Atlassian, Airtasker and a whole host of other tech companies making massive investments in office premises in Sydney.

Take this demand and combine this with stock withdrawals due to conversion of office towers to residential and hotel development, as well as compulsory acquisition of commercial buildings due to the Light Rail and the result is record high rent levels in Sydney.

THE QUESTION IS, HOW DOES A BUSINESS REMAIN P R O F I TA B L E W H E N R E N T S FOR B GRADE OFFICE SPACE HAS MOVED FROM AROUND $750 AND $850 PSM GROSS TO CIRCA $1,000 P S M G R O S S? The reality is that for many businesses you absolutely must have a Sydney City location to be relevant, competitive, and recruit and retain quality staff.

SYDNEY OFFICE UPDATE | 7

W H E N I TA L K W I T H TENANTS AND BUSINESSES ABOUT HOW THEY MANAGE THESE NEW HIGHER RENTS AND LOW INCENTIVES THE RESPONSES ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT.

Move away from hot spots Circular Quay and the financial precinct north of Martin Place has seen significant rental growth.

Tenants are now willing to look south past Market Street and west down to Kent Street in order to find rental rates under $850 psm gross as opposed to north of $1,000 psm gross.

Maximise efficiencies on the space you take A great architect or designer can maximise your fit out and efficiencies that might save you 10-20% on usable space. Smaller front of house, carefully designed meeting rooms, kitchens that also function as a collaborative work areas, smaller storage and server rooms.

Obviously you can’t hire staff and make them work from a lobby cafe, but there are some great lobby cafes offering WiFi, USB and laptop power points, and comfortable acoustic booths and seating that many tenants use as overflow meeting spaces and short term work areas.

A great example is the lobby cafe at 400 George Street.

Activity based workstations

Take less space

Hot desking, activity based work environments, smaller workstations, tighter and more efficient work layouts can save 10-20% on your tenancy footprint, and ease the pressure from your rental bill.

In the past tenants have taken an extra 20-30% space for growth. I’m now seeing a more conservative approach from businesses taking space for the short term and being more conservative about growth space as this has a major impact on budgets

Shared boardrooms and conference facilities Owners like Dexus are building high quality shared meeting rooms, overflow workspace and conference rooms. This is winning tenants over who can reduce their total office footprint within their assets. I think we’ll definitely see more of this in large A grade towers as other Lessor’s build similar offerings.

Reduce non core staff and outsource Businesses can now easily use outsourcing platforms like Freelancer and Airtasker to quickly find high quality specialty staff who can work remotely. I’m seeing businesses now outsourcing roles once reserved for staff on site such as software programming, accounting, back office functions, copywriting, creative design, telemarketing and even virtual assistants.

Teaming up to get larger space We’ve seen a number of tenants from different businesses come together and share space in order to get larger space. It offers economies of scale and more choices as there is a greater supply of larger space, as opposed to smaller tenancies.

Take shorter leases The impact of the standard 4-5% fixed increases on say a 5-10 year lease at a high base rental can compound quickly. Some businesses are looking at shorter leases, for example 3-4 years, as they are happy to take space for now as opposed to land banking space for the future.

Regardless of your budget though there are leasing solutions for every stage and workforce size. You can talk to any of my team about your requirements, to ensure you find the best solution for your business, for where you’re at now and into the future.

WORKPLACES THAT FOSTER STAFF WELLBEING ANDREW JOHNSON – MD, INTERMAIN

AT I N T E R M A I N , W E U N D E R S TA N D H O W A C L E V E R LY DESIGNED OFFICE CAN IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY A N D H AV E A P R O F O U N D I M PA C T O N A C O M PA N Y ’ S C U LT U R E . A S T H E P L A N N I N G O F S PA C E S B E C O M E S E V E R M O R E S O P H I S T I C AT E D A N D T H E L I N E S BETWEEN WORK AND HOME LIFE BLUR, WE ARE S E E I N G T H E D E M A N D F O R ‘W E L L’ O F F I C E S PA C E S ON THE RISE. If you haven’t already come across the term, a ‘well’ office is one that supports the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of your staff. They are workplaces that address air and water quality and levels of natural light, and encourage physical movement and fitness. They are comfortable spaces where staff ‘like to be’.

It is common sense that work spaces that make people ‘feel good’ will have a positive impact on productivity, innovation and lower rates of absenteeism and turnover.

But many leading research organisations have supported this ‘gut instinct’ with data that suggests that human happiness has direct links to company and stock price performance.

Conversely, much research has been performed on the cost of absenteeism, estimated by Health Services Australia to be $7 billion per year in Australia.

And in 2011 Medibank released research conducted by KPMG Econtech that valued the cost of presenteeism

(those who are not fully functioning at work due to illness or medical conditions) to be a staggering $34.1 billion per annum in Australia.

At Intermain, we get a lot of satisfaction designing and delivering smart spaces which provide significant wellness benefits to tenants and their staff.

Whilst there are a number of official certifications that can be applied such as the WELL Building Standard, companies can also make significant improvements without breaking the bank. Prioritising some simple, high impact changes can have a huge impact, and focussing on the following four key areas will see you well on your way to achieving a well office.

SYDNEY OFFICE UPDATE | 9

AIR QUALITY

THE OPEN PLAN BALANCE

Promoting good air quality has a profound impact on the health of an office. Indoor air quality is not only affected by outside pollution, it is also degraded by internal sources like off-gassing from building materials, indoor combustion sources and airborne germs. There are a number of ways these effects can be countered using the right air purifying equipment, ventilation systems and air conditioning solutions that are appropriate for the space. Intermain is also a huge advocate of using materials that are non-toxic and have low off-gassing, as well as the use of water-based adhesives and coatings. Materials that are not susceptible to moisture damage are also key to controlling mould in the atmosphere.

The shift in office design towards open plan over the past two decades has had a transformative effect on how staff interact and collaborate. But it also has its challenges which a good office design will address. A balanced scheme that promotes employee wellbeing will provide private areas where staff can not only meet without distraction, but people can also use as solace from the buzz of the open office.

Our clients are successfully integrating chill out zones and even meditation pods into their office scheme to give their staff areas for clear thinking and reflection. They are reporting huge benefits giving their people this space – not just in encouraging innovation but also in reducing stress related issues and conflicts in the workplace.

A FIT, CONNECTED OFFICE

LIGHT AND VIEWS In the same way we favour natural light and views in our home, so too do these aspects affect the happiness of a workforce. But if your office doesn’t overlook the harbour, there are many ways you can improve the view from your office. We have transformed a brick wall view into a green living wall for several of our clients, significantly enhancing both the aspect and contributing to better air quality. We have also worked with many clients to cost-effectively fill their floors with natural light, simply by replacing internal walls with glass panelling.

The design of an office that facilitates movement is the antidote to a sedentary, unhealthy workplace.

Humans weren’t designed to sit down all day, and adjustable sit/stand desks respond to this basic need to be standing, improving employees backs and core strength in the process.

On a recent project we installed an impressive central spiral stairwell that got staff up, moving efficiently between floors to speak directly with their colleagues in favour of impersonal emails.

At Intermain, we are also passionate about providing our clients with great end-of-trip facilities that truly encourage tenants to cycle, run and walk to work, or exercise in their lunch break.

A CHANGING MARKET The movement towards ‘well’ offices is by no means a brand new concept, but demand for these spaces is certainly growing. If this trend continues, we anticipate that incorporating standards such as ‘WELL’ will become commonplace in the next decade, in much the same way that Green Star has become mainstream for measuring a building’s environmental impacts.

As some changes require more meaningful financial outlay, landlords who plan for investing in their assets to improve the building’s wellness rating will be best positioned when this requirement becomes standard.

ANDREW JOHNSON MANAGING DIRECTOR Managing Director of Intermain, an established multi-skilled commercial fitout company focussed on excellent customer service and high quality building standards across building refurbishment, design and construct for corporate offices, ‘make-goods’, retail and hospitality. Intermain work nationally from offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and have one of the largest, state-of-the art joinery workshops in Australia. intermain.com.au

LEASE TO ULTIMATE OFFICE SOLUTIONS

66 C L A R E N C E S T R E E T ULTIMATE OFFICE SOLUTIONS (UOS) RUN SEVERAL COWORKING AND SERVICED OFFICE BUSINESSES IN SYDNEY, AND THEY’VE JUST ADDED AN ADDITIONAL LEASE TO THEIR PORTFOLIO, TAKING THE TOP TWO FLOORS OF 66 CLARENCE STREET. THE SPACE TOTALS 1,736 SQM AND HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED AS A SIX YEAR LEASE COMMENCING IN SEPTEMBER 2017.

The space allows for a touch base with the outdoors via a large outdoor balcony on Level 11 and the contemporary fit out will incorporate a feature staircase between floors to maximise connectivity and community engagement.

CEO of UOS, Biran Challen commented, ‘ We really liked the location. It’s only 120 metres to Wynyard station and Barangaroo Walk, and we loved the outlook and natural light with three sides of windows.’

This is the second new co-working centre UOS has opened in 12 months and follows a 1200 sqm lease at 20 Bond at the end of 2016.

UOS was one of the larger tenants at 55 Hunter Street who were forced to relocate when the building was compulsorily acquired for the new Sydney Light Rail.

“The acquisition and compensation of our lease at 55 Hunter Street was a testing process, but it gave us the opportunity to expand our footprint further in Sydney to over 5000m2 and helped drive our business into these two new locations”, shares Mr Challen.

Set to open in July, UOS will also relocate its existing business from Grosvenor St, where it has been operating for 20 years.

There will be 70 offices on offer, in various sizes with prices from $990 pcm for a small private office.

There will also be co-working spaces, meeting rooms and business lounges as well as virtual office solutions. Project space and managed space for major corporates will also be available.

Anthony Harris of Ray White Commercial, who handled the transaction shares, “The international coworking trend is becoming increasingly popular with traditional office clients seeking more flexibility with creative workspace options. We see UOS as a great solution for 66 Clarence Street as it provides traditional office tenants on other floors with the ability to use UOS for meeting rooms or temporary offices or where short term project space is required.”

“The timing of this move has allowed us to capture strong demand in a buoyant leasing market. In my 40 years in this business, we have never seen such strong demand from small to medium businesses that want to move towards a more flexible workspace model in a hybrid, co-working environment “ said Mr Challen.

SOLUTIONS. SPEED.

SATISFACTION.

With industry best lead times, we are equipped to meet your deadlines on any project. Coupled with a superior product range, we will work with you to create the perfect office landscape, no matter the job requirements.

INDUSTRY SPEAK

Being aware of your make good provisions when entering into your commercial lease.

MAKE GOOD PROVISIONS IN A COMMERCIAL LEASE CAN CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS FOR TENANTS WHEN COMING TO THE END OF A LEASE AND AS SUCH IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE OF THESE CLAUSES WHEN ENTERING INTO THE LEASE SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR OBLIGATIONS.

WHAT IS A MAKE GOOD PROVISION?

USE A MAKE GOOD PROVISION AS A NEGOTIATING TOOL

If you have a commercial lease in place for your business, or are in the process of entering into a commercial lease, you may be familiar with the term “Make Good”.

Many of the “Make Good” provisions appear to be standardised in a commercial lease. However, when negotiating the terms of your lease, including rent, outgoings and rent increases, you should consider the cost of your obligation to “Make Good” the premises and balance these costs with your general outgoings and expenses for the term of the lease. If provisions are made for the costs of this process then it will not come as such a shock at the end of the lease as it has been prepared for.

In most cases, a “Make Good” provision means that upon termination or expiry of a lease, the tenant or lessee is required to ensure the premises are returned to its original state (i.e. the state in which the property was given), but for-general wear and tear over the course of the lease. Such clauses could include re-painting a tenancy, recarpeting a tenancy, removing internal offices and structures that have been added to the tenancy by the tenant or lessee. All of these items come at a cost directly to the tenant or lessee and can be very expensive.

The other item that can assist with Make Good provisions is also inserting a clause into the lease that provides for the option of a potential new tenant utilising the current fit-out / structure of the premises.

SYDNEY OFFICE UPDATE | 15

With this clause it leaves in place the option of a potential future tenant taking on the premises and minimising de-fit works to be done by you.

HOW TO ENSURE YOU ARE COMPLIANT WITH YOUR “MAKE GOOD” PROVISION Many Lessees’ do not turn their mind to their obligations to “Make Good” the premises at the commencement of the lease as they are not required to fulfil these obligations at this time.

However, this is the most important time for a Lessee to take the necessary steps in protecting themselves under the obligation of the “Make Good” provision for when the time comes to vacate the Premises at the end of the lease.

At the expiry or termination of your lease, you must ensure that you have complied with the Make Good provisions to avoid any loss of bond, guarantee, security deposit or potential legal action being commenced against you for breach of lease or damages.

OUR BEST TIPS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE OF YOUR MAKE GOOD PROVISION ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1 Check the provisions of what

is required by you to “Make Good” the premises at the commencement of the lease and use these obligations as a negotiating tool, for example if the term of the lease is relatively short you may consider attempting to negotiate on specific make good provisions such as re-painting; 2 T ake photographs of the premises at the commencement of the lease prior to fit out or obtain a dilapidation report from the commencement; 3 E nsure you are not required to make good items of a capital nature such as ceilings or external walls; 4 O btain a condition report from an independent expert at the commencement of the lease; 5 U pon Fit Out of the premises, keep note of all the changes you are making to the premises and evaluate what would be required to be removed at the end of the lease and take photographs upon completion of the fit out; 6 O btain estimates of de-fit costs as soon as possible so that provisions can be made for such costs;

I F Y O U H AV E A N Y Q U E S T I O N S A B O U T A N E W L E A S E , P L E A S E D O N O T H E S I TAT E T O C A L L U S O N 02 8239 9600 O R V I S I T J H K L E G A L .C O M . A U

7 E nsure that the Landlord/Lessor is aware of your changes to the premises and document this notice in writing- this may include the photographs you have taken and/ or the condition report you have obtained; 8 U pon vacating the premises, take further photographs of the state of repair and if necessary, obtain a further condition report for production if it is requested by the Lessor; and 9 E nsure that you have complied with all of the provisions under the lease, upon vacation of the premises. These provisions may include, professional cleaning, re-painting the premises, removal of floor coverings and removal of fit-out, at your own expense.

Given that ”Make Good” obligations can be costly, it is important to seek legal advice before entering into a Lease so that the terms can be properly reviewed and amended if required. It is important that the clauses are properly drafted and specific, so that you can satisfy the ‘Make Good’ at the conclusion of the Lease. JHK Legal will be able to assist with such enquires and negotiations.

ce demand barometer

Dexus office demand barometer Lead indicators for office demand reach highest level in six years August 2017 Barometer indicators push to six year high

The Dexus Office Demand Barometer

The Dexus Office Demand Barometer increased in Q2 2017 to the highest level recorded since late 2010, signalling improving conditions for leasing demand in office buildings in the Sydney CBD. The Barometer increased to +2.4% in the June 2017 quarter, up 0.4 percentage points from from last quarter’s reading.

Factors driving the Barometer higher were uplifts in ANZ job advertisements and business confidence, with minor improvements in business travel departures and US economic activity. The share market, which had buoyed the Barometer in previous quarters, detracted somewhat this quarter.

*Percentage points

Take-up constrained by lack of available space Although the Barometer has strengthened, actual net absorption of office space has been constrained by a shortage of space. Sydney’s vacancy rate has tightened to 6.4%, the lowest level in nine years.

Leasing enquiries for the first half of 2017 were predominantly from the business services sector followed by the IT, and health and community services sectors. Enquiry has also been skewed to smaller tenancies, reflecting growth among small to medium enterprises.

Business conditions continue to improve In NSW, business activity has been supported by solid population growth and high levels of infrastructure spending.

Business conditions have been steadily improving, along with business confidence.

Conditions are expected to remain positive in the short to medium term, although longer term growth in NSW may be tempered by a softening in the housing market.

Positive business conditions are good for office demand.

Businesses hiring full time staff again A firming labour market has been a significant driver of office demand in NSW. Rising job advertisements are a sign that companies are becoming more confident about hiring staff.

An increase in the share of full time jobs relative to part time jobs in NSW in recent months is another sign of business confidence.

The NSW economy added 42,000 jobs over the past year, with many of these in the business services sector.

Companies upgrading to better quality space Withdrawals of a significant number of older buildings, either to make way for the Sydney Metro rail line or redevelop for alternate uses, has led to a shortage of secondary office space. This in turn has led to a rapid migration to prime office space.

The flight to quality has also been driven by a desire to upgrade and modernise workplaces.
