Industrial Market Overview

Supply

Verka Petkova Manager | Offices and Industrial Services [email protected] “First industrial pre-lease deals registered since 2008.” “Net absorption increased by 50% on an annual base.” “Demand for industrial and logistics space still driven by FMCG and logistics operators, and by automotive components producers and light industry – in the manufacturing sector.” “Modern logistics space rents rose with 11%.”

The supply of modern warehouse and logistics space in Sofia increased by 3% for 2015 and reached 802,000 m². (Fig.1) The projects that contributed majority of the new stock were Logistics Park East Ring in Novi Han – phase 1 (6,400 m²), the expansion of manufacturing complex Festo, Trisa logistics center (3,000 m²), Universal Logistics Park - phase 2 (8,800 m²), Trade Center Europe - building 1. The new stock totalled 44,860 m², where owner-occupied space prevailed over speculative.

Higher dynamics was registered in the supply of logistics and warehouse space. For the first time in a couple of years, modern speculative stock was delivered to market and was immediately absorbed. The shortage of new space led to transformation of big box formats into premises, suitable to the needs of logistics sector or light industry- a trend that continues from 2014. The disbalance between supply and demand and the fast absorption of completed speculative space stimulated the start of a couple of projects - ZMM Logo Center 3, East Ring Logistics Park - phase 2, Sofia Ring Logistics Park in Krivina, Industrial Park Sofia East, close to Elin Pelin. In 2016 some 40,000 m² of new stock are expected to be delivered to the market – a record since 2008. Logistics Park Pleven added 3,000 m² new industrial and logistics space in 2015. The food retailer Lidl and the courier company Speedy started construction of logistics centers for their own use, located in close proximity to Maritza highway. The e-commerce growing influence over courrier companies business would intensify their demand for space. Bulgaria preserved its attractiveness to the light industry manufacturers, mostly companies for automotive components and electronics. In 2015 Sensata’s brand new production facility opened doors, Libherr and Standart Profill expanded their plants. Kostal, the German company for automotive components, completed their production facility in Smolyan. Plovdiv remained on top of the list for the manufacturing companies thanks to its infrastructure, workforce and location. Other regional cities such as Varna, Burgas, Stara Zagora, Pleven and Ruse continued to draw attention. The completion of Maritza highway further triggered the investment flow to the region.

Built-to-suit construction dominated the market in 2015. Representatives of the trend were SMC Industrial Automation and Willi Elbe Gelenkwellen in Plovdiv, Arkomat in Karlovo, RSN Sihn in Saedinenie and JYSK in Bozhurishte (logistics center for the Balkans). The availability of quality product was still constrained during the period, leaving companies with the built-to-suit model as the only solution to their needs.

Demand The demand drivers for warehouse and logistics space were FMCG, logistics operators and courier companies. The reasons behind their movements were either expansion of business or warehouse space optimization. Net absorption on annual base was 62,700 m² representing 50% growth compared to 2014. The subject of the deals was predominantly owner-occupied or class B space.

Rental levels Rental rates of modern logistics space soared, explained with the lack of completed projects. Average rents increased to 4.2 euro per m² with perspectives to exceed 5 euro per m² in projects with good location and infrastructure. (Fig.2) The Class A warehouse rates in the second half of 2015 were 3.8 euro per m² and 2.5 euro per m² for Class B. Rental levels for industrial facilities could go above 5.5 euro per m², depending on the specific tenant fit-out requirements.

Light industry and automotive components producers dominated industrial space demand, investing mainly in owner-occupied facilities.

The available warehouse and logistics space in Sofia shrank by 3% on an annual basis arriving at 11% vacancy rate, concentrated in owner-occupied or class B projects failing to meet tenants’ requirements.
