    be overhauled and, in some case, be converted

    to Grade A.

    As Grade B rents are observed to be 20-

    38% less than Grade A rents in the CBDs

    of prime Indian cities, these properties are

    underperforming assets that are not fully

    realizing the potential returns from the high

    value land parcels that they are constructed

    on. Even if we assume that only 30% of the

    current Grade B stock in cities across India can

    potentially be retrotted into Grade A space, an

    additional INR 2.9 billion of rental revenue can

    potentially be generated.

    Retrotting commercial ofce buildings

    is a complex process as it involves many

    stakeholders. It has nancial and operational

    risks which can be mitigated through proper

    planning and efcient project management.

    The upfront capital investment in retrotting

    projects depends on the level of retrotting

    works done. Benets from retrotting can be

    either immediate or long-term in nature.

    The payback period of investment ranges from

    two to ve years for minor retrotting and six

    to fteen years for major retrotting projects as

    observed in a study of retrotted ofce buildings

    conducted by Jones Lang LaSalle Research.

    Landlords of CBD ofce and retail space have

    already capitalised, or are planning to capitalise,

    on the impending ofce market recovery by

    retrotting their property now as markets begin

    to improve. A few landlords in prime retailmarkets have also retrotted the ground oor

    retail space in their building to accommodate

    the needs of modern retailers. This trend will

    accelerate in CBDs of cities like Mumbai and

    Delhi where there are limited options for new

    development.

    Executive SummaryCentral business districts, or CBDs, which wereonce the commercial hubs of Indias cities, are

    gradually losing their sheen as the development

    is shifting towards alternate locations. It is

    becoming critical for landlords to revitalize their

    older buildings in order to sustain demand for

    ofce space in CBDs.

    The majority of ofce buildings in Indias CBD

    are at least three decades old with structures

    that are worn out due to poor maintenance.

    With a severely limited supply of new ofcespace, tenants located in Indias CBDs have

    traditionally been forced to occupy buildings that

    are low on quality and high on operating costs.

    The recent global economic downturn has

    increased pressure on all businesses to reduce

    costs. Indian businesses that are now growing

    again nd it difcult to implement expansion

    plans in CBDs. In such a business climate, the

    attractiveness of high-rent, low-quality space in

    CBDs across India is diminishing relative to thatfound in neighbouring micro-markets.

    Vacancy levels in Indias CBDs have shown

    a slight increase starting in 2009, as tenants

    increasingly opted for higher quality ofce space

    found in alternate micro-markets within the city.

    The threat of sustained high vacancy rates

    should serve as a wake up call for property

    owners who are exploring quality improvement

    options as a means to improve the competitive

    positioning of their properties.

    Retrotting is usually the preferred option

    for quality improvement (as compared with

    redevelopment) to increase the attractiveness

    and economic life of existing older buildings.

    The current stock of older, lower-quality

    buildings in the CBDs of most Indian cities

    has a huge potential in terms of retrotting.

    Retrotted buildings will enjoy higher occupancy

    due to increased tenant retention and increased

    absorption due to their superior quality and

    lower operational cost.

    Not only can Grade A properties be improved

    through retrotting but Grade B properties can

    IntroductionIndias CBDs

    The CBDs of prime cities such as Delhi and

    Mumbai have been the hub of the nations

    economic activity over the past few decades.

    Some commercial buildings within Indias CBDs

    are centuries old and are considered to be

    heritage structures due to their historical and

    architectural signicance. These properties are

    typically utilised as government ofces or as the

    head ofce of large corporate occupiers from theshipping, manufacturing, banking and insurance

    sectors.

    A CBD is deemed as the most valuable business

    location within a city and is characterised by

    high land and property prices. High demand for

    CBD ofce locations arise from numerous factors

    including established business ecosystems,

    accessibility to services, superior infrastructure

    and prestige of address. Residential and retail

    locations within and bordering CBDs are often also

    considered to be prime locations.

    A majority of ofce buildings in Indias CBDs are at

    least three decades old with run down structures

    arising from poor maintenance. The resulting poor

    operational efciency leads to higher operating

    costs for occupiers of these buildings. With a

    severely limited supply of new ofce space,

    tenants located in Indias CBDs have traditionally

    been forced to occupy existing buildings that are

    low on quality and high on operating costs.

    The recent global economic downturn has

    increased pressure on all businesses to reduce

    costs. This remains true even as some business

    in India are showing signs of growth during a

    local economic recovery. In such a climate, the

    attractiveness of CBDs across India is diminishing

    relative to neighbouring micro-markets, which

    can offer larger ofce spaces of higher qualityat comparatively lower costs. Indeed, vacancy

    levels in Indias CBDs have shown an increase as

    tenants continue to show a preference for higher

    quality, lower cost ofce space found in alternate

    locations within the city (Table 1).

    Table 1: Drivers of Tenant Exodus from Indias

    CBDs

    1. Higher rents

    2. Higher operating costs

    3. Lack of suitable quality space

    4. Lack of large, contiguous space to accommodate

    growth

    Quality Improvement Options

    As land parcels for developing new ofce space

    are extremely rare in Indias CBDs, improving the

    quality of existing ofce buildings is the only means

    by which these real estate micro-markets can stay

    competitive. This can be achieved through two

    methods redevelopment or retrotting.

    Retrotting is usually the preferred means between

    the two options to increase the economic life cycle

    of existing older buildings. However, the choice

    between retrotting and redevelopment is highly

    dependent on the quality of the structure, best use

    Why Now?

    The threat of sustained high vacancy rates should

    serve as a wake up call for property owners who

    are considering retrotting as a means to improve

    their competitive positioning within the CBD

    market. A recovery in ofce space demand started

    in 1Q10 and is expected to strengthen further in

    2011 and 2012. As a result of this, quality ofce

    space in CBDs will once again be able to command

    a premium. Therefore now is the right time for

    proactive owners to invest back into their property

    through retrotting.

    As ofce space demand isexpected strengthen in 2011

    and 2011, it is the right timeproactive owners to investback into their property throughretrotting to command premiumrents in CBD

    Unlocking Inherent Land Value

    Land values are highest in CBD micro-markets

    and tend to progressively decline as one moves

    towards SBDs and then suburbs. During times

    of strong economic growth, CBD land values in

    India have soared as demand increased, vacancy

    rates fell and leasing activity slowed considerably.

    However, on the same high-priced land parcels,

    Grade B and C ofce properties continued to

    fetch low rents. Landlords are unable to derive

    maximum rental incomes from their Grade B and

    C properties because the bargaining power of

    occupiers rises with diminishing building quality.

    Grade B rents are observed to be 20-38% less

    than Grade A rents in the CBDs of prime Indian

    cities (Figure 2). This highlights that poor building

    quality hinders the full realization of the high land

    value found within CBDs. Yet, relatively lower

    rental values for Grade B buildings in CBDs are

    not enough to ensure high occupancy levels. Like

    older Grade A CBD buildings, which are losing

    tenants to cost-efcient, quality properties in other

    micro-markets, Grade B buildings are also seeing

    tenants leave due to a lack of quality space.

    Collectively, this increases vacancy in the micro-

    market and increases pressure on rental values

    in CBDs.

    The full realization of high-priced CBD land value can be achieved through retrottingof existing Grade B ofce space into Grade A in order to increase the rents that a given

    property can command. Even if we conservatively assume that only 30% of the current

    Grade B stock in cities across India can potentially be retrotted to Grade A space, an

    additional INR 2.9 billion of rental revenue can potentially be generated annually above

    the current aggregate level of INR 6.4 billion, representing a nearly 45% increase.

    Costs & Benets ofRetrottingIn the recent downturn, with restrictions on capital

    expenditure and widespread predictions of sharp

    increases in energy, water and waste disposal

    costs, tenants are increasingly considering the

    total cost of occupancy as a deciding factor before

    signing or renewing a lease for ofce space. Along

    with rents, the operational efciency of a property

    is becoming a key determinant of demand for

    ofce space.

    Along with occupiers, landlords stand to benetwhen lower grade ofce property is improved

    through retrotting, which provides an opportunity

    to optimise the value of the properties without

    the investment risks and costs that are normally

    associated with a full-scale redevelopment (Table

    6). Landlords of retrotted buildings can have a

    rst mover advantage as real estate micro-markets

    for ofce property are beginning to recover across

    various Indian cities. Retrotted buildings will enjoy

    increased tenant retention and higher occupancydue to their superior quality and lower operational

    cost.

    The upfront capital investment in retrotting

    projects depends on the level of retrotting work

    to be performed. From a strategic and operational

    standpoint, landlords can opt for different

    levels of retrotting that vary in the quantum of

    improvement and time required to execute. While

    deteriorated properties will require a greateramount of capital to be invested in retrotting

    projects, they will likely also derive greater benet.

    The benets achieved from retrotting can be

    either immediate or long-term in nature. Immediate

    benets can be realised from the improved rents

    that a property can command while long-term

    benets can be realised from the prolonged

    operational life of the property. The combination

    of increased revenues (through higher rents) and

    lower expenses (through lower operational costs)

    serve to enhance the market value of the property

    in the long term.

    Table 7: Four Levels of Retrotting

    Level 1: Minor or Cosmetic Changes

    Involves small repairs and maintenance work that is done once every ve or more years

    depending on the quality of the building. Includes exterior painting and repair, redesigning

    and improving signage, and exterior lighting. Level 1 retrotting usually takes 13 months tocomplete.

    Level 2: Interior or Shell Changes

    Involves major improvement in building interiors such as lobby areas, corridors, new wall

    nishes, painting, lighting xtures, new carpeting or new ooring, false ceiling, re ghting

    systems and interior landscaping. Level 2 retrotting usually takes 26 months to complete.

    Level 3: Systems & Services

    Involves upgrading or completely replacing HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems. HVAC

    system upgrade or replacement may include the repair or replacement of pipe work, ducting,

    terminal units, controls and insulation. Upgrading or replacement of plumbing includes

    changing or repairing water pipes and drainage. Electrical systems replacement or repair

    works include the installation of new wiring and electrical xtures and appliances. Level 3

    retrotting takes about 36 months to complete.

    Level 4: Major Structural or Core Changes

    Involves larger renovations such as structural alterations to buildings, addition of new lift

    shafts, demolition to create an atrium, addition of escalators, addition of oors, and reduction

    of oor area. Level 4 retrotting requires 618 months to complete.

    The optimal level of retrotting depends not only

    on nancial considerations but also the physical

    attributes the payback period of investment ranges

    from two to ve years for minor retrotting and six to

    fteen years for major retrotting projects as observed

    in a study of retrotted ofce buildings conducted by

    Jones Lang LaSalle.

    Risks and Mitigation

    StrategiesRetrotting commercial ofce buildings is a

    risky and complex process as it involves many

    stakeholders and usually entails working in

    existing buildings with a constrained budget.

    This process becomes even more complex when

    operating in multi-tenanted ofce buildings.

    Retrotting projects can be best implemented

    when building occupancy is low and hence it is

    preferred that way by property owners. However,

    in cases where the buildings have a high

    occupancy rate, the owner of such multi-tenanted

    ofce buildings should undertake a comprehensive

    audit of the buildings leases to determine the

    barriers for executing the retrot project. Mining

    existing leases prior to announcing or commencing

    a retrot project offers the owner, an opportunity

    to revise leases as the opportunity arises with

    tenants and also understand what advantages

    tenants have to impede the implementation

    of the project. Other nancial risks depend on

    cost management for a retrotting project as its

    implementation is comparatively more risky than

    developing new property.

    A wide variety of implementation risks for

    retrotting projects need to be accounted for

    through expert project planning and management.

    These risks include schedule delays, most notably

    in occupied buildings. Safety, an area of concernwith any development project, is a heightened

    concern as the condition of older buildings can

    also pose additional risk. Technical risks involved

    with retrotting include inadequate structural

    load capacity along with redundant services

    and a legacy of ad-hoc repair, maintenance and

    alteration. Detailed site surveys by qualied

    architects and contractors are often used as an

    effective rst step to assess overall project risk

    and as a foundation for creating an initial projectdesign.

    Our case studies mentioned later, illustrate that

    proper planning and efcient project management

    can effectively mitigate nancial and operational

    risks. Construction in a CBD is a concern, as the

    area is densely developed, and requires proper

    planning. Express Tower in Mumbai was retrotted

    without vacating the occupants by ensuring least

    disturbance to their regular work. This was made

    possible only through efcient project planning and

    project management.

    Retrotting Case

    StudiesTo better understand the gamut of issues that

    surround a retrotting project, we undertook a brief

    study of three notable ofce buildings that recently

    underwent renovation. The three properties the

    landmark Empire State Building in New York City

    along with Express Tower and the Hindustan

    Unilever Limited (HUL) Building in Mumbai

    undertook retrotting projects with disparate

    goals in mind and faced challenges along the way

    that were unique to their situation.

    We discovered, however, that some common

    techniques were employed to deal with the

    challenges and risks that each project faced. The

    key ndings from our case studies include:

    Planned approach: each building were initially

    studied and surveyed to strategise a master

    retrotting plan. This included an intensive

    study of the property layout, performance and

    equipment to better understand the areas that

    need revitalisation.

    Financial implication: the market demand and

    valuation of properties was studied to determine

    their post-retrotting nancial feasibility. All three

    retrotting projects were found to be nancially

    feasible and all buildings are achieving,

    or expected to achieve, higher rents post-

    retrotting.

    Risk mitigation: the risks faced and mitigation

    strategies employed varied greatly for eachproject. Broadly speaking, however, all three

    projects had to account for operational,

    technical and nancial risks while ensuring that

    existing tenants were not inconvenienced.

    to be accounted for throughexpert project planning andmanagement

    An Idea Whos Time

    Has ComeWhile the quantum of retrotting projects in

    India is currently small, it is an effective solution

    for revitalizing individual properties and re-

    establishing the appeal of entire micro-markets. In

    addition to Express Tower and the HUL Building,

    other ofce buildings including One Forbes House

    and Hoechst House in Mumbais CBD have been

    retrotted into Grade A properties and put up for

    leasing. Similarly, in Delhis CBD, HT House on

    Kasturba Gandhi Marg was retrotted and leased

    out as its market position has improved.

    Connaught Place, Delhi

    Connaught Place is a heritage site and the

    prime retail precinct of Delhi. The market was

    designed in British style architecture and laid

    out in a pattern of concentric circles for ease of

    shopping. This preferred shopping districts of

    Delhi is home to many prominent retailers such

    as United Colors of Benetton, Wills Lifestyle andVan Heusen. It is always crowded by tourists and

    the city dwellers as it has variety of restaurants

    and shops. In Connaught Place retailers have

    retrotted existing older space into sophisticated

    and stylish stores while retaining the original

    architectural characteristics of the building. As

    the area was developed in the early twentieth

    century and needed an overall restoration, New

    Delhi Municipal Corporation has started a project

    to redevelop the entire precinct. NDMC is working

    on facade restoration of the inner and outer circles

    of Connaught Place and has planned to renovate

    ooring and provide ood lighting to improve the

    visual appeal of the market and improve facilities.

    Indias retail sector has also been using retrotting

    as a means to avail space in prime locations.

    In particular, heritage buildings in prime micro-

    markets are preferred options for premium retail.

    Connaught Place in Delhi and Kala Ghoda in

    Mumbai are two such examples of districts where

    older property was retrotted to be suitable for

    modern retail formats. Both of these precincts are

    surrounded by an afuent catchment which drive

    retail demand and benet from the experience of

    shopping in heritage buildings with their striking

    architectural features.

    Kala Ghoda, Mumbai

    Kala Ghoda, Mumbais art district, has a skyline

    that is dotted with gothic style buildings. The

    precinct, famous for its art galleries and museums,

    contains a large number of older Grade B ofce

    buildings with retail space on the ground oor.

    As the area witnesses strong demand for retail,

    the ground oors of a few older buildings have

    been renovated to accommodate modern retailshops and restaurants. Major retailers such as

    Globus, Westside and Planet Fashion currently

    have operating stores in the precinct. The Kala

    Ghoda area is ripe for further retrotting projects

    which will improve the economic life of existing

    older buildings and provide prime retail space in

    a district where there are limited opportunities for

    development.

    Mumbai and Delhi are bellwethers for Indias

    commercial ofce and retail real estate markets.

    As two of Indias largest and most dynamic

    cities, they are often where new trends take

    ight. Retrotting, whether to improve Grade A

    properties or promote from Grade B to Grade

    A, is something that is being witnessed with an

    increasing regularity, a trend we expect to continue

    as landlords become cognizant of the benets of

    this quality improvement option.
