The CBD continues to record a very low vacancy rate, significantly below the regional average (7.5%) The CBD s appeal to companies is evident from the lack of supply and the fact that the economic crisis has not led to an increase in vacant office space in the area in recent years In the CBD, as across much of the Greater Paris region, the rise recorded at the start of 2015 is largely due to a change in the statistical approach to the figures Supply tends to create demand in the CBD and the increase in the number of delivery and restructuring projects in 2014 risked leading to a sharp increase in supply. This proved not to be the case, however, with most of these buildings leased in a few months or in the process of being leased Like the rest of the Greater Paris region, the CBD continues to boast one of the lowest vacancy rates in Europe 3
Grade A supply Second hand New or redeveloped Grade A supply (new or restructured) has increased significantly in recent months, following the delivery of several programmes including 3/5 Friedland, Eden Monceau and Opus 4/8, as well as due to the scarcity of transactions of more than 5,000 sq m during this half-year. It therefore represents of available supply recorded in the CBD, compared with just 12% at the end of 2014 The CBD has therefore exceeded the regional average (17%) This boost for users in search of office space in the CBD is only relative, since only half of the office areas leased in the Greater Paris region were new or restructured in H1 2015 The CBD s lack of Grade A supply is therefore a structural reality, stemming from the nature of the buildings and the history of tertiary development in the area, although it has tended to get worse in the last two years The lack of supply presents a potential hurdle to future transactional activity in the CBD Share of new or redeveloped areas in the available supply 17% Rents 750 /sq m/year excl. taxes and charges Prime rent Rents in /sq m/year excl. taxes and charges 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 Prime Rent Average rent 750 511 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 High-end rent has established itself at 750 since the end of 2013, following the Hermès transaction on rue d Anjou This value has been confirmed since, for example with the lease of the new Clifford Chance head office in 2014 and that of Exane in #Cloud in Q1 2015 (with a value of 760 for some of the office areas in question) The standard value for high-end rent therefore remained stable in H1 2015, following a significant downward adjustment between mid-2012 and mid-2013 (-10%). This adjustment occurred earlier than in other markets, consolidating the CBD s success in 2014 and in H1 2015 There are early signs of an upward trend, however, with the signing at the end of the year of some transactions at levels not seen for two years ( 800) The Exane transaction for #Cloud marked another significant milestone, as high-end values previously reserved for the West of the CBD (the Golden Triangle), are now appearing in the Financial City 4

This will not be enough to induce a significant increase in Grade A supply or average take-up of new or restructured office areas The dip in the volume of deliveries expected looks set to be confirmed in 2016, which will in turn present a significant obstacle to transactional activity and exert upward pressure on rents 5
