2011 OFFICE REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT Moscow GENERAL TRENDS As of the end of 2011, total supply of the quality office premises virtually reached 12 million sq m. Supply of Class A and B premises has grown by 720 thousand sq m which is the lowest value over the past 7 years. By the end of 2011, absorption of Class A and B office premises totaled about 1 million sq m (excluding the extension of the existing agreements). This is slightly more than in 2010 but a positive trend could be noted as the absorption in 2010 was based primarily upon delayed demand. In 2011, rental rates for Class A and B offices rose by almost 10% and 6% respectively. This growth peaked in the first half of the year with fears of crisis starting to spread throughout Europe in autumn. Nonetheless, the fourth quarter appeared to be traditionally active accounting for some 40% of all the transactions made in 2011. We do not expect any significant reduction in demand, and consequently, rental rates will remain stable in the next half-year with some potential for a slight growth. OVERVIEW

Mikhail Ioannesyants,AssociateDirector,OfficeRealEstateDepartment

“In 2011, the office real estate market did not change a lot over 2010. A slight growth in supply and a steady demand from tenants and buyers of the office premises resulted in the decrease of the vacancy rate available (12.5% for Class A office premises). On the one hand, this is quite a low value to trigger the growth of the rental rates. On the other hand, this is sufficient to meet the demand coming from most tenants. Still, the range of large office blocks in the completed buildings is still highly scarce. Companies seeking for premises over 15 thousand sq m have no more than 5 options available. Today’s demand is driven by the quality development of the market: a substantial share of the demand for Class A and B+ offices comes from companies leasing offices in the business centers of a lower class. In particular, major lease transactions made in 2011 involving “Kaspersky Lab”, “Mail.ru”, TEK “Mosenergo”, “GroupM”, “Renaissance Credit” appeared to be relocations to the office premises of a higher level. Also, major companies continue to consolidate their premises. Such examples would include transactions made by “GroupM”, “Mail.ru” and “Credit Europe Bank”.

We also note the better quality of the newly constructed office centers: property commissioned in 2010-2011 is of better quality than those completed in 2000-2005. However, the technical data disclosure process by owners leaves much to be desired; in this respect, we are well behind the western markets where the technical disclosure is more organized, thus making it easier for the tenants and buyers to make a decision”.
