In Q3 2012, no new grade A office space was introduced to the market. Available
stock was gradually absorbed and some buildings are undergoing upgrading and
renovation work. The average rent increased slightly to reach RMB 122.64
(US$19.31) per sq m per month or RMB 4.09 (US$0.64) per sq m per day, up
0.11% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) and 8.06% year-on-year (y-o-y) (Figure 1). The
leasing demand for grade A office declined due to the gloomy global economic
environment. The overall net absorption totalled 8,000 sq m, down 50.24% y-o-y.
The city’s overall availability ratio dropped to 16.62%, 1.02 percentage points
lower than last quarter.
Galaxy International Shopping Mall opened on 1 September, bringing a total of
236,700 sq m of new supply to the retail market. The F&B sector remained one
of the key drivers in the market. Due to continued growth of per capita
disposable income and positive response to new shopping malls, many overseas
and domestic retailers are entering or expanding in the Tianjin market.
The government lowered the mortgage interest rate again in Q3. As a result,
demand for residential properties picked up, and transaction volume of new
homes increased to 1.09 million sq m. The average house price increased 0.35%
q-o-q to RMB 12,784 (US$2,013) per sq m in Q3

Office
In Q3, no new projects entered the market and total grade
A office stock in Tianjin remained at 850,633 sq m (Table 2).
This quarter, available stock was gradually absorbed and
some buildings are undergoing upgrading and renovation
works. Average rent increased slightly to RMB 122.64
(US$19.31) per sq m per month or RMB 4.09 (US$0.64) per
sq m per day, up 0.11% q-o-q and 8.06% y-o-y (Table 2). The
DTZ office rental index also increased to 143.4 in Q3 (Figure
2).
In terms of submarkets, rents in Nanjing Road remained the
highest in the city, reaching RMB 129.45 (US$20.39) per sq
m per month. Rents in Xiaobailou remained stable this
quarter, with rents reaching RMB 103.70 (US$16.33) per sq
m per month, a mild increase of 0.30% q-o-q. Rental for
Financial City and Youyi Road remained stable as well (Table
2). In Binhai New Area, rents increased to reach RMB 5-6
(US$0.79-0.94) per sq m per day.
The leasing demand for grade A office declined due to the
gloomy global economic environment. This quarter, the
overall net absorption totalled 8,000 sq m, down 50.24% y-
o-y. Tenants mainly derived from the finance and service
sectors, and local companies were the most active in terms
of leasing. The city’s overall availability ratio dropped to
16.62%, 1.02 percentage points lower than last quarter
(Table 2).
In the office strata-title sales market, the average price
reached RMB 19,800 (US$3,118) per sq m. Minsheng Bank
bought 40,000 sq m of office area in Huirong Building in
Heping District and the turnkey office projects in TEDA MSD
have been completed.
Looking forward, Tianjin’s office market should remain
stable, largely due to stability in the local economy. With
limited new supply and continuous absorption, we expect
the vacancy rate to drop while rents remain stable (Figure
3).
Recent transactions
Tianjin Lefu Financial Company leased 736 sq m in
Tianjin IFC.
Yihuangxuan Culture Consulting leased 500 sq m in City
Building.
Watsons leased 365 sq m in Jinwan Building.

Retail
From January to July 2012, total retail sales of consumer
goods in Tianjin increased 16.2% y-o-y to reach RMB 221.09
billion (US$34.82bn) (Figure 4).
Galaxy International Shopping Mall opened on September 1,
bringing a total of 236,700 sq m of new supply to the retail
market. The total retail stock in Tianjin reached 2,098,892
sq m.
Among all sectors, the F&B was the key driver for the retail
market. The Exchange ended its contact with Acasia Deli
Food and brought in new tenants including Bellagio and
Spice Spirit as a marketing ploy. Galaxy International
Shopping Mall also set aside 20% of its area for F&B.
Honeymoon Dessert leased 110 sq m in International Plaza
on the Binjiang Road Hub. In addition, Starbucks, Costa
Coffee, Papa John’s Pizza and Saizeriya are also actively
expanding.
This quarter, investment demand for retail property picked
up. A total of 92,100 sq m of retail space was transacted this
quarter, an increase of 202% q-o-q, most of the transactions
coming from high-street stores. Due to continuous growth
in per capita disposable income and a positive response to
new shopping malls, many overseas and domestic retailers
are entering or expanding in the market. Aeon has chosen
new locations for its two new stores, and Lotte Store
opened its second store in Galaxy International Shopping
Mall with retail space of 70,000 sq m. In addition, Wanda
and China Resources also plan to open new stores in Tianjin.
The opening of Metro line 2 has enhanced mobility of
customers between different retail hubs. Hence, new retail
hubs will bring more competition to the overall retail
market. As a result, shopping malls and department stores
have began carrying out renovation and/or brand upgrading
work to attract more consumers.

Residential
From June to August 2012, a total of 1,330,449 sq m of new
housing supply was launched into the market (Table 7). In
particular, more than 60% of the new residential projects
are from the six inner districts.
The government lowered the mortgage interest rate again
in Q3. As a result, demand for residential properties picked
up, the transaction volume of new homes increasing to 1.09
million sq m. In the six inner districts, Hedong District
recorded the highest transaction volume, reaching 183,954
sq m (Table 7). Transaction volume for Binhai New Area also
recorded an increase of 16.02% q-o-q to 519,204 sq m.
The average housing price increased 0.35% q-o-q to RMB
12,784 (US$2,013) per sq m in Q3. Prices for the six inner
districts remained high, with Hexi District witnessing the
highest annual growth of 7.83% to reach RMB 20,529
(US$3,233) per sq m (Table 7). Price for residential property
in Binhai New Area reached RMB 8,764 (US$1,380) per sq m,
an increase of 3.84% q-o-q.
Loosened financial policy and decreasing mortgage rates
had positive effects on market sentiment. This quarter,
positive factors for the Tianjin residential market include
the operation and planning of new railway lines and
improved business facilities in various parts of the city.
Looking forward, tightened bank loans at the end of year
and increasing stock in the market will have implications for
the outlook of Tianjin’s residential market.

Definitions
Availability: Total floor space in properties marketed as available to let, whether physically vacant
or occupied, and ready for occupation immediately.
Availability Ratio: Total space currently available as a percentage of the total stock of floor space.
Development Pipeline: Comprises two elements:
1. Floor space in course of development, defined as buildings being constructed
or comprehensively refurbished to grade A standard.
2. Schemes with the potential to be built in the future, through having secured
planning permission/development certification.
Net Absorption: The change in the total of occupied floor space over a specified period of time, either
positive or negative.
New Supply: Total marketed grade A floor space which is ready for occupation now. Ready for
occupation means practical completion, where either the building has been issued with
an occupancy permit, where required, or where only fit-out is lacking.
Prelet: A development leased or sold prior to completion.
Prime Rent: The highest rent that could be achieved for a typical building/unit of the highest quality
and specification in the best location to a tenant with a good (i.e. secure) covenant.
(NB. This is a net rent, excluding service charge or tax, and is based on a standard lease,
excluding exceptional deals for that particular market.)
Rent: Gross transacted rents (unless otherwise specified), which excludes management fees
and other outgoings.
Prime Yield: The best (i.e. lowest) yield which could be expected for a typical building/unit of the
highest quality and specification in the best location leased to a tenant with a good (i.e.
secure) covenant.
(NB. This is a net yield, which uses net income, after deducting all non-recoverable
expenditure, divided by the purchase cost, excluding transaction costs and taxes.)
Market Yield: Annual transacted rent as a percentage of the capital value of the property.
Stock: Total accommodation in the commercial and public sectors both occupied and vacant.
Take-up: Floor space acquired for occupation, including the following:
(i) offices let/sold to an eventual occupier;
(ii) developments pre-let/sold to an occupier;
(iii) owner occupier purchase of a freehold or long
leasehold.
(NB. This includes subleases but excludes lease renewals.)
Vacancy: Floor space that is empty, i.e. not occupied. It may be being marketed, or it may not
(whether because a lessee is not occupying, it is being refurbished or it is deliberately
being left empty by the landlord).
