ccording to the first IMAGES Malls in India publication in 2004, 40 million sq.ft of retail real estate development had been predicted by year 2006. With the pronouncement that not only metropolitan centres, but tier-II cities, such as Indore, Jaipur, Ludhiana and Meerut, would see growth in mall space too. It had been further pronounced in 2004 that the retail estate industry in India had passed the initial growth stage and was in a state of 'acceleration', with a few cities even indicating signs of 'saturation' for the then organised retail market size. It was also pointed out that the growth of malls had far surpassed the growth of organised retail; making it imperative for malls, for the sake of increased market penetration and profitability, to attract local high street retailers too instead of limiting their

tenant profile to organised retail chains alone. It was also hoped that mall financing and mall management would improve over the next few years to accommodate a sustainable retail estate business. Mall development, it was felt, had been primarily driven by real estate developers who had taken the business of retail as seriously as the corporate and residential sectors. Following this line of thought, the first-ever Malls in India edition had focussed on understanding the drivers, patterns and models of mall development across the country. It studied the general growth patterns of mall development in detail, while highlighting key opportunities for the Indian market.
THE ROAD AHEAD

The book lay down key challenges for future developments (such as: providing the 'evolved' Indian consumer with unique shopping experiences, creating sustainable business models for malls, working towards improved infrastructure facilities, setting up design standards and preparing a regulatory framework with policy makers of the country etc.) and studied the viability of various retail estate formats in India. Significantly, the first edition had compared and contrasted Indian market developments with more developed markets, eliciting learnings for the Indian mall developer. Over and above everything else, it was felt that malls had come to the rescue of organised retail in India with the offer of quality retail space at lower values than comparable high street locations. The practice of retail space selling, however, had been identified even then as a problem area; hoping for more professional and standardised mall management practices in the years to come. Key Enablers It was felt that the key enablers required for the industry to realise its full potential include: Improving overall access to real estate by deregulating the land market, putting in place easier zoning provisions, standardising building specifications etc. Providing industry status to the sector for government/central sponsorship that could identify and resolve bottlenecks in the sector Enabling FDI for faster growth and inculcation of better techniques/technologies into the

industry Increased technical training for unskilled/under-qualified youth for increased employment opportunities for a quality manpower starved sector Reduction of taxes on luxury goods to create retail tourist destinations Rationalising the tax structure for the retail industry Streamlining regulations and doing away with the hassles of multiple licences and clearance requirements
FINDINGS FROM THE SECOND EDITION OF IMAGES MALLS IN INDIA

Come September 2005 and the second edition of the IMAGES Malls in India study was released. This publication revealed that the then current rate of growth in mall space was around 100 per cent! The pace, it was felt, had slowed down from more than 200 percent growth in 2003, it had scaled down to 140 percent in 2004 and was expected to remain in the vicinity of 100 percent in 2005. By end-August 2005, India had some 96 operational malls offering 21.6 million sq.ft of quality retail space and considering the fact that another 62 malls were at a near-completion stage, a further increase of 11 million sq.ft was expected by the end of 2005. The projection for 2007 was 358 malls with a total built-up area of 87.8 million sq.ft. As predicted in the earlier edition, apart from metropolitan centres prominent tier-II cities

where mall development was picking up included Jaipur, Ludhiana, Guwahati, Dehradun, Sonepat, Chandigarh and Indore. It was felt that the retail journey from traditional bazaars to supermalls, with a detour towards luxury retail spaces within high-end hotels, had seen an unprecedented evolution over the last decade. Malls had emerged as present day adaptations of India's unorganised bazaars; changing the way Indians' shop forever. With more supply in the offing, quantum retail spaces were expected to increase. It was felt that older malls would have to re-position themselves as neighbourhood malls, with specialty malls joining the bandwagon. It was also felt that FDI in retail would lead to improved infrastructure, leading to an upgradation of the quality of shopping malls and an increased demand for huge retail spaces. Development Trends The study also showed that in India the scarcity of quality real estate at affordable rentals has traditionally been a key challenge to growth of modern trade. The difficulty in finding suitable urban properties in central and downtown locations for large format retail stores had led to a shift in preference for suburbs of metropolitan cities, such as Gurgaon and Navi Mumbai, together with growth in tier-II cities. The research further revealed that a great majority of the new shopping malls being developed remained fragmented and sub-optimally planned in terms of proper positioning and inadequacy of infrastructure. As the industry matured, it was predicted that smaller niche/speciality malls would emerge in the country. In a scenario of potential over-supply of 'me-too' shopping
centres, these speciality retail destinations would perform better and generate higher returns. What followed was a detailed study of speciality malls and the viability of the format in an Indian scenario. Mall Design & Mall Management The edition also highlighted the importance of effective mall design and successful retail space management. It was felt that current market forces demanded the creation of more dynamic and distinctive shopping environments for two reasons global competition and the continued segmentation of retail offerings into ever more specific demographic targets. Having experienced the evolution of shopping centres in less than 10 years a process that has taken place over 60 years around some parts of the world India stands to benefit greatly from the lessons learnt elsewhere around the globe. The savviest commercial developers in India have recognised that the challenges of shopping centre design and management require a blend of learning from international experiences balanced with 'Made in India' solutions. Financing Malls It was pointed out that as in any commercial real estate project, financing of retail mall developments runs parallel with development. In instances where the landlord is also the developer, the value of land net of any applicable debt constitutes a significant component of equity. The significant part of financing is hence required for construction. The key issue in most such development formats relates to property valuation and its impact on returns as indicated by a financial measure like the project's Internal Rate of Return (IRR). More so than with other forms of commercial real estate development, large-scale retailing involves a closer interplay between the tenant (retailer) and the developer and greater flexibility in partnership across the scheme. It was discussed that as is the case of any commercial real estate, retail developments take place where supply and demand conditions need to be augmented to fulfil the new demand. Moreover the form and grade of such supply and demand drivers are the key influence on the structure and pricing of any development. Finally the capital value reflects the rent and the yield, the latter being a reflection of sustainability of location and rent, future growth, investor demand and comparative returns in other investment arenas. With additional factors like taxation and income

security also impacting, it is clear that the economic model for retail real estate is quite complicated, even without consideration of factors such as trading potential, catchment growth, changing consumer habits etc.
many sectors would reap benefits a prediction that has partly come true. Unavailability of quality retail space was seen as one of the main constraints for development of organised formats in India. It was felt that negative yield on leased property and lack of financing due to the unorganised property market had resulted in a dearth of quality retail space in the country. A significant reduction in interest rates over the past few years had helped. Availability of retail space was, however, expected to increase further if property funds and investment trusts were permitted, which would help create a secondary market for real estate in the country. With greater availability of real estate, the average size of malls was expected to increase, leading to better infrastructure, lower rents and more services that could be offered by retailers at a single place. It was also pointed out that an increasing number of such malls had already become operational in the new suburbs around major metros and a total built-up area of about 87.8 million sq.ft of retail space was under construction and was expected to come on stream by 2007. The 2005 edition closed with the mature perspective that over time, the novelty value of malls in India would wear off and it would be back to the basics of positioning, footfall conversion and of course profitability. A number of developers were already experimenting with various concepts to arrive at a suitable, sustainable and financially viable approach to mall development. The next couple of years were to be critical for the industry, with a few malls becoming successful while others not being able to survive the trials and tribulations. The learnings from both these publications will establish the roadmap for further retail real estate developments in India for the current edition in the following pages.
WHAT MAKES RETAIL REAL ESTATE DISTINCT

Greater involvement by retailers themselves as developers and owners Typical requirement for a higher level of pre-leasing prior to completion enabling a large degree of customisation The importance of anchor stores in leasing and in securing finance for the project Greater variety in leasing deals as a function of the anchor's importance Importance of tenant mix Often not fully let out prior to opening to give flexibility to alter tenant mix and extract higher rents from retailers seeking to join a successful scheme Greater need for research due to the often more focused locational requirements of retailers
Conclusion
The organised retail sector is at a brink of revolution. The past decade has witnessed a sea change in the Indian retail scenario, affecting both the supply and the demand fronts of the market. On the supply front, a number of organised retailers have entered the trade in the last five years. Mall development activity has picked up at a rapid pace, thereby, creating quality space for retailers to fulfill their aggressive expansion plans. It was felt that the Government of India too was looking at setting in place mechanisms to ensure that the opening up of retail to FDI would be designed in such a way that

all and Shopping Centre development is a direct function of the health of the countrys Organised Retail industry and the Real Estate sector in general. Organised retailing, as we know, has taken-off to a flying start and is projected to grow at the rate of 37 percent in 2007 and 42 percent in 2008. Fortunately enough, the Real Estate story is equally encouraging, especially after the relaxation in FDI norms in 2006 and the enthusiasm of Indian corporate houses in mega Special Economic Zone (SEZ) projects. The real estate story in India is now growing bigger by the day. Industry experts are optimistic that there exists huge demand potential in Indian real estate in almost every sector commercial, residential and retail.

The increase in purchasing power and exposure to organised retail formats has redefined the consumption pattern. As a result, retail projects have been mushrooming across even teir-II and tier-III cities. The retail market is expected to grow at around 35 percent. Industry observers feel that this growth is facilitated by favourable demographics, increasing purchasing power, existence of customer-friendly banks and housing finance companies, professionalism in real estate and reforms initiated by the Government to attract global investors.

In the last couple of years the growth in commercial office space has been fuelled by the burgeoning demand for space in the outsourcing and information technology (IT) industry. By 2010, the IT sector alone is expected to require 1,500 lakh sq.ft of space across major cities. Growth in the services sector, accompanied by impressive growth in the overall gross domestic product is sure to generate commensurate growth in demand for residential space as well. It is estimated that in the residential sector there is a shortage of 194 lakh units out of which 67 lakh are in urban India.
GLOBAL MAJORS IN INDIAN REAL ESTATE

Policy changes introduced by the Government in February 2005 allowed 100 per cent foreign investments in construction projects with fast-track approvals. But the real attraction for foreign investors is potential investment returns of 25 percent and more in Indian projects that might be hard to come by in the US and in Western Europe today. A report by property consultants Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj estimates that US$10 billion foreign investment will be injected into the Indian real estate sector in the next 12-18 months. International companies like Ayala of the Philippines, Signature from Dubai, Och-Ziff Capital, EurIndia and Old Lane have indicated their interest in entering the Indian real estate market soon. On the cards is sizeable FDI inflow from Malaysia, followed by the UK, US, Israel and Singapore. Industry sources say over 90 foreign investors are already in the country tapping investment avenues. Nearly two dozen US funds are raising US$3.5 billion for investments in Indian realty. Those raising the funds include Wall Street powerhouses such as the Blackstone Group (US$1 billion) Goldman Sachs (US$1 billion), Citigroup Property Investors (US$125 million), Morgan Stanley (US$70 million) and GE Commercial Finance Real Estate (US$63 million). Others raising funds are JP Morgan, Warburg Pincus, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway, Colony Capital and Starwood Capital. In mid-2007, Morgan Stanley closed a deal worth about US$150 million with Oberoi Constructions in Mumbai. The Nakheel Group in Dubai entered into a US$10 billion deal with DLF for residential projects in tier-I and

tier-II cities. This was followed by three financial institutions Khaleej Finance and Investment (KFI) from Bahrain, Kuwait Investment Company (KIC) and Kuwait Finance House (KFH) from the Middle East promoting a US$200 million fund for investing in India. Called the 'Indian Private Equity Fund', it targets activities with controlled risks in growing sectors like real estate. Close on its heels, California Public Employees Retirement System entered India, investing US$100 million in a US$400-million real estate fund promoted by IL&FS. Ascendas, Asias leading business space provider is launching the first property trust of Indian assets worth US$500 million in Singapore in July 2007 with the renowned real estate developer Embassy Group.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN REAL ESTATE

Indian financial institutions are competing with each other to invest in this higher return segment. Some of the prominent companies promoting real estate funds in India are HDFC Property Fund, DHFL Venture Capital Fund, Kotak Mahindra Realty Fund, Kshitij Venture Capital Fund (a group venture of Pantaloon Retail India Ltd) and ICICIs real estate fund, India Advantage Fund. Regulated under SEBIs (Securities and Exchange Board of India) Venture Capital Funds, these are closed-ended schemes with an initial public offer (IPO) contributing to a discount on NAVs (Net Asset Value).

It has also entered into a joint venture agreement with Indian pharmaceutical major Ranbaxy Group company Fortis Healthcare to set up hospitals across the country with investments of about US$1.5 billion. Meanwhile, an HDFCsponsored real estate fund has been permitted to bring up to US$ 790 million of FDI into the country, while Indiabulls Real Estate (IREL) is looking to raise up to US$1.2 billion.
RETAILERS AND MALLS

India has emerged as the most attractive destination for retailers in 2007. According to the latest AT Kearney study, for the third year in a row, India leads the annual list of most attractive emerging markets for retail investment followed by Russia and China. Organised retail, which currently accounts for only 4.6 percent of the Rs.1,200,000 crore (US$270 billion) Indian retail sector, is expected to grow at 37 percent in 2007 and 42 percent in 2008, according to IMAGES India Retail Report 2007. The report adds that organised retail in India has the potential to add over Rs.1,00,000 crore (US$45 billion) business by the year 2010. This is expected to create a demand for around 2,200 lakh sq.ft of retail space by 2010. According to industry estimates, 270 lakh sq.ft of organised retail space is currently available. Another 900 lakh sq.ft is expected to be added by 2008 from 263 mall projects. Of these, 180 lakh sq.ft is slated to come up in Delhi as well as in Mumbai, 95 lakh sq.ft in Ludhiana, six lakh sq.ft in Chandigarh and 36 lakh sq.ft in Ahmedabad.
With the retail sector experiencing a boom, the country is witnessing a spurt in extremely large retail spaces. Shopping malls with over 10 lakh sq.ft of space have become the order of the day. About 20 of these are now at various stages of construction across the country. In the National Capital Region (NCR), Unitech's Great India Place has a million sq.ft of retail space. In Mumbai, at least eight malls covering over 10 lakh sq.ft each, including R-Mall at Ghatkopar, and two malls of over 10 lakh sq.ft, proposed for Thane. In Bangalore, at least three malls with similar dimensions are under development. Ludhiana will soon have a 16 lakh sq.ft mall by Today Homes. As the competition in the market intensifies, mall developers are trying out all possible ways to be different. Specialised malls, designer brands and multimovie options are marking the shopper's day out. Gurgaon, on the suburbs of New Delhi, has a jewellery mall and will soon have an auto mall. Bangalore will get an exclusive furniture mall. Two malls, first of their kind, targeting foreign tourists, will come up at tourist hotspots Goa and Udaipur with a projected cost of around Rs.90 crore (US$22 million) each. A furnishings mall is coming up on Elgin Road in Kolkata. And India's largest theme amusement park, Noida Entertainment City (E-City), will stand upon 65,34,000 sq.ft (150 acres) approximately. Discount malls are also on the rise. Top realtors and local retail chains are developing malls in regional boroughs, specifically to sell premium branded goods at prices 30-40 percent cheaper than the maximum retail price. At least 50 discount malls are expected to come up in the next two years across the country, positioned in the middle-to-the-premium end of the market.

BIG DEALS IN REALTY

The biggest mall of the world Mall of India planned by DLF Universal along NH-8 will have 32 acres (13,93,920 sq.ft) spanning a huge entertainment area and large city town squares offering a total retail experience. Chennai, on the radar of foreign real estate funds, recently witnessed two big-ticket property deals. AIG Real Estate Fund and RMZ Corporation purchased an 11-acre (4,79,160 sq.ft) plot at Guindy for Rs.2,816 crore (US$686.9 milion) and Shyam Kothari, in another deal, bought IDBI's 2.5 acres Boat Club property in Chennai for Rs.165 crore (US$40.3 million). A large number of retailers, which also includes traditional retailers, are now planning to expand within the current city, and a good percentage of them are also willing to open new stores in other cities within India. The most confident among them are home and interior retailers and sports apparel/equipment retailers, followed by department stores and jewellery and food retails. Space within upcoming malls will obviously be the first choice. The last decade saw the transition of sleepy towns like Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad into enviable retail addresses, and today these are classified as tier-I cities along with the core, NCR in this case. These cities are now almost saturated. Naturally, the opportunity in the tier-IA, tier-II and tier-III cities like Hyderabad, Cochin, Chennai, Coimbatore and Pune is equally enormous. For instance, Pune, the engineering and automobile hub of western India about 160-km south-east of Mumbai is emerging as a major IT centre. With sprawling software parks coming up all over the city and its suburbs, the demand for high-value apartments is growing and so is the potential for shopping centres. Beyond professionals and people looking to relocate from Mumbai or even overseas, are the older people who have sold a bungalow and want to live in spacious,

but easy-to-manage surroundings. Developers maintain that the bar for the super-premium luxury housing has risen from Rs.9,511,938 (US$231,964) to over Rs.19,023,918 (US$463,929) per unit. If the year 2006 was marked by some of the country's biggest land deals, the future of India is set to usher in the gold rush of realty.
MACROECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF REAL ESTATE

Economic Growth Sustained growth has made India the worlds fourth largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity. Forex Reserves of US$175 billion (Dec 06) (source: Reserve Bank of India), current GDP growth rate of 9.2 percent, positive market sentiment and business optimism are expected to make Indias GDP the third highest in the world by 2020 (source: KPMG). Economic growth over the past three years has been consistent with an average annual growth rate of eight percent (Figure 4) and, as this growth is led by investments in the economy, it is likely to be more sustainable than earlier spurts in GDP growth. The agriculture sector has minimal effect on retail real estate in India; hence a slowdown in agriculture doesnt affect the sector in a major way. The manufacturing sector, which is growing at 11 percent (source: Economic Survey of India 2006-07), has a positive impact on industrial real estate but its effect on commercial real estate is marginal. It is primarily the services sector that accounts not only for the majority of office space absorption in India, but also fuels the growth in the residential and retail sector.
23
With GDP growth expected to continue at a level above nine percent per annum (as per latest government estimates), the impact on retail real estate in India is expected to remain positive. Inflation Inflation, which was 6.39 percent in the week ended March 24, 2007, and posed a major concern to all the good work, now thankfully appears to be getting under control as a result of stringent policy initiatives by the Reserve Bank of India. One of the factors which has lead to high inflation (apart from rising oil prices) is the supply constraints of food grains and other essential commodities which are an important component in the basket of goods on which inflation is calculated. Though long-term structural changes are required in the economy to tackle such demand supply mismatches, in the short term measures such as regulating the money supply and interest rates are being taken to control inflation. An area of concern here is that continued high inflation can significantly impede real estate growth as the government tries to rein in liquidity and increase interest rates. High inflation is directly linked to the governments performance in public opinion and the government will not hesitate to cut down on growth in its bid to cut inflation. Money Supply As against the RBIs target of 15 percent for annual growth of money supply for 2006-07, money supply actually grew at 21.1 percent during this period mainly because of growth in bank credit. RBIs steps to reduce credit availability include increasing the refinancing rate, the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and bank lending rates. All
Delhi's traditional CBD, Connaught Place
these steps have resulted in funds flow to developers as well as borrowers being constricted and a consequent increase in borrowing costs. Interest rates The change in liquidity and inflation environment has resulted in a continuous hardening of interest rates from 2005-06. Home loan rates, too, have been on an upward climb, and are expected to continue rising over the next 12 months. This is expected to impact residential demand as borrowers face higher repayment instalments. Developers will face higher cost of funds and would have to look for alternate sources such as private equity/venture capital (PE/VC) while investors revise their expected returns from the real estate sector. Credit Off-Take In the last three years, real estate has been one of the prime sectors driving the credit growth with lending to the sector rising by more than 500 percent (source: RBI). Viewing this with concern, RBI has taken steps to reduce the flow of bank credit to the sector as well as making it more expensive for banks to lend to. This tightening of bank lending to real estate has led to a steady increase in interest rates on loans available to the real estate sector.

Regulatory Like any other sector, government policies and regulations have a critical impact on the functioning, growth and maturity of the real estate market. The government and RBI have increasingly been wary of the rising prices in the real estate sector in the recent years and have taken various steps to control the money fl

owing into the sector. RBI increased the provisioning requirement for banks from the earlier 0.4 percent to one percent for all residential housing loans beyond Rs.20 lakh and to two percent on all commercial real estate loans (including SEZs). Banks were restrained from granting fresh loans in excess of Rs.20 lakh against NRE (Non-resident external accounts) and FCNR (B) (Foreign Currency Non Resident) deposits. RBI has also urged all commercial banks to put in place an improved system/procedure for realistic valuation of properties and appoint independent valuers for the purpose. The need for an agency to set up valuation standards to be imparted through impartial, professional, accredited valuers is also being felt. In the 2007 union budget, the government announced various policies which had a somewhat dampening effect on the real estate sector. Tightened regulations governing developments of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) by disallowing tax concessions to contractors involved in the construction work, income tax on venture capital income interest and capital gains (interest and capital gains from their investments in real estate) were some of the measures taken. Service tax was extended to renting of property for commercial use that could have a major impact on the retail segment as real estate costs are as high as 30 percent of total project costs in some cases. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has tightened the disclosure and valuation norms for real estate companies planning to launch initial public offerings (IPOs) to impart a true picture of their property values. Such companies have to mandatorily disclose their land bank details along with ownership status. India needs to urgently adopt international valuation norms to ensure greater transparency and confidence in the sector.
REAL ESTATE MARKET IN INDIA

Traditionally the Indian real estate market has remained largely disorganised, with the chaos of the real estate industry affecting other sectors of the economy too. But over the last few years, the Indian real estate industry has started getting organised. What was once a highly fragmented business dominated by regionally based private entrepreneurs (or builders) has become a national and global business. This transformation has come about because of a significant growth in capital formation in the real estate industry and the rise of sophisticated real estate capital markets. This has been driven by: Listed as well as unlisted real estate companies Private real estate funds catering to institutional investors, and A bigger focus on Indian real estate by global property consultants and commercial banks
Over the last few years, the Indian real estate industry has started getting organised. What was once a highly fragmented business dominated by regionally based private entrepreneurs (or builders) has today become a national and global business.
The recent changes in the regulatory environment, the opening up of the market to foreign investors, the growth of private equity and rising demand for higher quality real estate is gradually transforming Indian real estate into a more transparent and accessible real estate market. Add to this all the feverish activity within the Indian

economy at large, and one realises exactly why the countrys real estate market is expanding so rapidly. After all, each growing sector is in need of space to spread its wings, and no wonder real estate is emerging as one of Indias fastest growing sectors, with expectations for all its constituent segments to expand rapidly: Commercial Market
Reliance Mart, Ahmedabad
About 70 percent of demand for office space in India is being driven by the IT/ITES & BPO sectors CBDs are getting saturated across all metros and an increasing rate of suburban/peripheral developments are catering to the roaring demand for office spaces While MNCs and financial institutions preferred CBD areas, the IT/ITES sector does not favour these because of infrastructure problems, old constructions, unavailability of large floor plates and high rentals. Strong growth in the demand for commercial office space will continue to be fuelled by the rapid expansion of the IT/ITES sector, which is growing at more than 30 percent a year. Employment in IT/ITES currently stands at nearly 13 lakh, and is expanding by well over 200,000 jobs per year (equivalent to an additional office requirement of more than 200 lakh sq.ft per year). Over the medium term the opening up of the economy is expected to lead to a broader occupier base, as Indian business services expand in response to domestic demand. Production and operating cost reductions are the primary reasons for increased business process outsourcing by US and European companies to India. The total workspace needed for an office in Bangalore, for example, is no lower than it is in London, but the total occupancy cost is much lower. The most important office locations are in the Central Business Districts (CBD). It has only been in the last few years, as space has become more limited in the CBDs and new higher quality offices with lower prices have been built in peripheral locations, that demand has shifted from downtown areas out to the new locations. Most recently, additional development areas, with a

mixture of office, retail and residential, have been built. Just like other global locations, the most important locational factors are the availability of staff, ease of access by car and public transport and regional growth potential. In Indian cities it is also important to access the technical infrastructure provision (e.g. electricity, telephones and water supply) to ensure that it meets requirements. Retail Real Estate Market Wal-Mart has made an India entry through a JV with the Bharti Group. Earlier the US retail giant was willing to gain access through FDI but the government's regulatory framework didn't allow it to do so. After Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries foray into retail, the AV Birla Group also launched its retail plan. At the same time, Tata, Raheja's, Future Group, Godrej, etc., are all working on business plans to amplify their retail activities across the country. Reliance has planned its retail outlets in all the major cities and is acquiring land at record prices With MCD's sealing drive in Delhi, supply crunch for retail spaces was witnessed, which led to an increase in retail estate prices across the NCR. India has huge potential for retail expansion, with rapid growth underpinned by favourable demographics, increasing urbanisation, rising disposable incomes, low interest rates, brand competition and youth culture. The sector is also undergoing structural change, with leading domestic retailers going through rapid growth, format migration and consolidation. The pace of change is likely to accelerate as foreign investment in retailing is liberalised the government has taken the first steps in 2006 by allowing 51 percent FDI in 'single brands' retail outlets. Increasingly, organised retailing will focus on tier-II and III cities, which are still largely unexploited.

he first few years of the 21st century have seen the world enraptured by the India story. Favourable comparisons with the worlds fastest growing economies, abundant talent pools, need for infrastructural investments and a large market have attracted investors across all industry segments. Retail, hospitality, healthcare, infrastructure etc. are bringing in international players keen to tap the latent demand in these sectors while the competitiveness in Information Technology and IT Enables Services (IT/ITES) has made India the back office of the world. All these factors have resulted in a continued healthy demand for real estate that, coupled with easy availability of capital, has seen a boom in the real estate (RE) sector in the last few years.
*Excerpts from the DTZ report on Commercial Real Estate in India (Norwegian Wood - This Bird has Flown)
The need for Grade-A Office Space is on the rise in India
With all indicators pointing to continued robustness in economic growth, one could expect the RE sector also to continue its path upward. However, a study carried out by DTZ reveals that the current boom may be cresting and this may be a time to exercise prudence. Commercial real estate (which includes office space, SEZs and IT/Business Parks) can be considered the benchmark for the rest of the real estate market in the country as it is tracked professionally, is less opaque and more reliable information on it is available as compared to other sectors. Additionally, the commercial sector is the growth driver for other RE segments as the business prospects and employment generated in turn drive the demand for residential, hospitality and retail sectors. To be considered as a Grade-A office space, a building needs to have certain minimum requirements such as central air conditioning, professional building maintenance, good faade, 100 percent power backup, preferably single ownership and good tenant profile. Our study revealed that the A-Grade leasehold office space sector across our universe of cities (the top seven Indian cities of Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai

of this rental value correction; for example, the threshold for this correction has been brought closer by the two recent interest rate hikes. That notwithstanding, we firmly believe that the Indian real estate markets are entering their next phase/wave of evolution. The Indian real estate cycle saw its last crest in 1995-96 and the following years saw real estate values come down across the country. This correction also marked the first wave of evolution of the Indian real estate markets. The prime drivers of this change were the large foreign occupiers/corporates and IT firms that were establishing their presence in India and the most pronounced impact of this wave was a complete redefinition of what constituted A-Grade office space (in India). We are of the opinion that on an overall basis, the Indian office space markets are now close to the second crest of the real estate cycle (after 1995-96). And the change driver for this evolutionary phase of Indian real estate would be the sophisticated foreign capital that is finding its way into Indian real estate. This phase will again bring about significant changes in the Indian real estate sector and we believe that industry participants will go through a fast and somewhat painful structural changes.

and Pune) is seeing the beginning of an oversupply situation that will continue in the short to medium term. The Indian AGrade leasehold office space markets are currently at an all time high; both in terms of the quantum of space leased per annum and the prevailing rental values. Our city-level demand supply analysis clearly indicates that office space rentals are likely to hit a plateau in the next six to twelve months. Barring a few exceptions (primarily the CBDs), the oversupply situation will lead to a correction in office rental values. Or very simply, this correction in A-Grade office space rental values will not be driven by a lack of demand but due to the oversupply build-up. However, rather than casting a pall of gloom, this may be an opportunity for all stakeholders to re-examine and reformat their strategy for the RE sector. With demand for good quality RE expected to remain healthy in the longer term, stakeholders, i.e., investors, tenants, buyers, developers and even regulatory authorities should understand the implications of this forecasted correction and plan their real estate investment/ development/end-user strategies accordingly. There are various factors that will define the degree and timing

INDIAN REAL ESTATE OVERVIEW

The Indian Real Estate market is estimated at US$12 billion (source: FICCI) with a current growth rate of around 30 percent per annum. Although the initial real estate growth was concentrated in the major metros due to the growth of IT/ITES in India, there has been a shift in the real estate market beyond metros to tier-II cities (Figure 1). With India showing broad based economic growth, RE too has shown growth across all segments commercial, retail, residential, industrial and hospitality. Office Space Segment The prime component of RE demand in India, Grade-A office space saw a demand of around 47 million sq.ft in 2006 and this
Our city-level demand supply analysis, seen in conjunction with the macroeconomic fundamentals, clearly indicates that office space rentals are likely to hit a plateau in the next six to twelve months.
is expected to grow to 56 million sq.ft in 2007. The Indian economy, led by the IT/ITES industry, has shown strong growth in the last three years that has resulted in increased absorption across most Indian metros and tier-II cities. For example, Chennai had a Grade-A office space absorption of 3.7 million sq.ft in 2005 which increased to 5.3 million sq.ft in 2006. At 9.3 million sq.ft in 2005, Bangalore was the third ranked city globally in terms of office space absorption (after Tokyo and London) and grew to12 million sq.ft in 2006.

of the Indian RE market in terms of value. Low per capita housing stock, rising disposable income coupled with easy availability of finance from housing finance companies and banks have been driving demand in this sector in recent years. The potential for housing is still large as even today, there is a shortage of 31 million housing units (source: NHB) and ASSOCHAM predicts this demand to grow to 80 million by the next decade.
Delhi NCR has emerged as an IT/ITES favourite with absorption of 2.4 million sq.ft in 2005 that grew to 10.6 million sq.ft in 2006. Other Indian cities too have witnessed similar growth in office space absorption. As per current estimates, we expect the demand for Grade-A office space to stay on course in the immediate future. However, given the number of large projects announced recently and under construction, we could witness supply exceeding demand across cities. Rationalisation of rentals, quality of the end product and professional service delivery/marketing to support corporate clients would be critical in increasing the occupancy levels in this scenario of oversupply. Residential Segment The residential property market constitutes almost 75 percent
Retail Segment The retail industry in India is dominated by individual small format stores with floor space of less than 500 sq.ft. The organised retail sector, which was a mere three percent of the total retail market in 2004, has attracted a lot of players and has grown to 4.7 percent of the total retail market of US$ 230 billion (source: IMAGES Retail Report 2007). However, as seen from Figure 2, this share is still low as compared to other countries and represents enormous growth potential. Indias fast growing economy, increasing disposable incomes and consumption levels have made it one of the largest consumer markets in Asia. Organised retail is thus expected to grow but would rely on appropriately priced real estate to reach out to its customer segment effectively. RE costs can impact the profitability of an entire retail venture and with high occupier interest, new supply coming up and old retail formats under threat, the sector will see some interesting times. Retail real estate construction and more importantly, mall management practices leave a lot to be desired and we are certain that the Indian retail real estate sector still has to undergo a significant learning cycle. This evolution will be clearly linked with
29
the increasing corporatisation of the retail sector and will be further catalysed by the entry of foreign retailers in India (as and when allowed). Hospitality Segment The number of foreign visitors (a major driver of hospitality industry) in the country in 2005 was around 4 million resulting in international tourism receipts of US$ 5.7 billion. With continued business and tourism interest, the hospitality industry is expected to show growth rates in excess of eight percent per annum. This rapid growth in visitors has already impacted the industry with most cities facing a severe shortage of rooms and hotels. It is believed, however, that the supply of hotel rooms is expected to increase steeply between now and 2010. Looking Ahead Though most parameters point to demand remaining strong, a slowdown in economic growth in India could affect the demand drivers and consequently growth in the real estate sector. Commercial real estate is largely dependent on demand from the IT/ITES sector, which accounts for nearly 70 percent of the total office absorption. With rising real estate and salary costs, Indias cost competitiveness in this sector could be challenged and any slowdown in this sector can adversely affect the commercial space absorption in various cities across India. While the bull run in property prices has attracted the attention of regulatory bodies and led to restrictions in availability of capital, the attractiveness of the sector and steadily increasing demand have seen a number of players, both new and old, embark upon fresh constructions on a grand scale. Thus, though demand is expected to remain strong, the restrictions in capital availability will impact projects in the longer term. The projects already announced will see sufficient supply emerging across most cities and result in over supply in the short to medium term.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE IN INDIA

Growth Drivers Commercial real estate is an important component of the real estate sector as it has a positive effect on the demand for residential and retail as well. At current growth rates, the sector is expected to employ an additional 2.4 million people by 2012. At a prudent Employee Health and Safety (EHS) norm of 100 sq.ft per employee, this translates into an additional commercial space requirement of 240 million sq.ft. The increase in incomes due to these employees joining the workforce is expected to generate an additional demand for 12 billion sq.ft of residential space by 2012 (assuming 100 sq.ft commercial space requirement, 400 sq.ft of residential space requirement per employee). There are various factors driving the growth of commercial real estate in India: Demographic Factors Indian demographics are poised to provide a broad based and sustainable economic growth. India has a very young population profile (Figure 3) with half of its people under the age of 25 years. This young and increasingly urbanised population drives significant demand for products and services, and has created massive opportunities from human resources

perspective. The IT/ITES industry is critically impacted by availability of adequate human resources and this demographic profile has made India a very attractive destination for these companies. Along with continued strong economic growth, real annual personal disposable incomes are also set to increase by eight to 10 percent annually over 2006-10. Figure 4 shows that the percentage of households in India, that earn more than US$ 5,000 per annum currently, is lower than that of China. However, this is expected to grow over the next four years to match China by 2010. As India emerges out of the shadows of its socialistic past and integrates increasingly with the regional and global economy, it is spawning a new rich class the number of billionaires in India is already the highest in Asia, ahead of even Japan. This socio-economic transformation is making India an increasingly lucrative market for a wide variety of products and services. These include biochemical, leisure and
financial services that are expected to be the next big drivers for office space. Infrastructural The Central and State governments have realised the importance of improving urban infrastructure to truly realise the potential of India. Initiatives such as the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (2005) aim to put selected cities on the fast track of growth by encouraging infrastructure growth and thereby catalysing flow of investments into the urban infrastructure sector. Another infrastructure initiative, the National Highways Development Programme (NHDP), is also making impressive progress. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is being restructured for more effectiveness and to be able to handle a large number of Private Public Partnership (PPP) projects. Work pace has improved on the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) and the North-South, East-West Corridor projects as against 1.86 km/day completed prior to May 2004, the schemes are now progressing at the rate of 4.48 km/day. All these initiatives should see ustainability of the demand for commercial RE in India. Outlook for Office Space The DTZ study conducted across the top seven cities (including their micro-markets) finds that the continuing healthy demand, attractiveness due to rising capital and rental values and easy availability of capital resulted in a large number of projects being started at major locations. While demand continues to be strong, the supply of quality commercial real estate is likely to outstrip the demand in the short to medium term. The chart below (Figure 5) summarises the likely demand supply scenario in 2007 across key cities in India.
Infosys Building, Bangalore
The authorities have sought to stem speculative interest in the sector and also to reduce inflationary pressures in the economy by curtailing availability of capital and increasing the interest rates. These measures will certainly impact new projects as developer/builders seek new sources of capital and PE/VC funds evaluate their strategies. As demand continues at current pace and fresh supply tapers off,
31
it is expected that the oversupply position will reduce over the longer term. In the short to medium term, however, as an over supply position emerges across most cities, stakeholders viz. occupiers, investors, developers and intermediaries need to understand the implications and formulate their strategies accordingly. Overall Impact v Rising interest rates mean higher cost of capital and reduced project net present value assessments. This phenomenon is already visible and leads to lower project and land valuations. Project breakeven periods are also likely to get extended. v In cities where we see a clear oversupply situation emerging, rental values will stabilise for some time before they undergo a correction. In certain cities like the NCR region and Bangalore where the overall demandsupply equation is not significantly skewed, only certain micro-markets will see pressure on rental values. v An oversupply situation would also translate into longer absorption timeframes and in
case of large/multi-phase projects (like SEZs), longer project gestation periods. v In such a scenario, developers are better off divesting their stakes in their projects sooner rather than later as valuations are expected to reduce in the future due to increased cost of capital and higher expected returns. This will also give developers an opportunity to strengthen their balance sheet by reducing high cost borrowings. Similarly, investors should exercise caution and defer investment plans as they are likely to get better valuations in future. v Indian developers have traditionally had scarce access to equity for real estate projects and barring a few large players, all developers operate with the strategy of construct, lease and sell. The industry average holding period for A-Grade office space assets is less than three years and there is little focus towards creating assets with longevity. However, all foreign developers/investors entering the Indian real estate markets are taking a mid-long terms view towards asset
32
creation. They have deeper pockets as well as access to cheaper capital all vital factors which enable them to invest towards creating better quality real estate product that will provide them the desired exit valuations in subsequent years. v The above-mentioned drive towards quality (highlighted in the last point) will gradually lead to a complete redefinition of A-Grade office space norms in India. There is a distinct possibility that some of the new supply being created will find no takers since the better quality product is likely to get leased first. v Access to public markets and debt is likely to get more restricted and even larger Indian developers will initiate joint investments with private equity (PE) players. This was not the case so far and PE players were primarily partnering will smaller developers. With the large developer groups joining the race for PE, smaller developers or relatively lesser known entities are certain to be edged out.

GLOBAL REAL ESTATE OVERVIEW

Based on global realty reports by Cushman & Wakefield
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE OVERVIEW
The global office market improved significantly over the course of 2006, as annual rental growth reached 12.2 percent, compared to the much more moderate 4.3 percent recorded in 2005, according to a recent Cushman & Wakefield report. All regions improved their rental growth performance over the year. Africa and The Middle East saw the most buoyant growth, with rents rising by 32 percent. This was, in part, due to the huge increases seen in Abu Dhabi, which posted the highest global rental growth of 200 percent, but all key locations in the region saw good rental growth. Europe showed the smallest regional rental increase once again and the overall European growth rate of 6.5 percent was only a marginal increase on 2005. As in previous years, Central and
34
Eastern Europe outperformed Western Europe, with rental growth of 9.2 percent and 5.7 percent respectively. According to the Cushman & Wakefield report, aside from the very large rental growth seen in Abu Dhabi, the top ten best performing markets were almost all in India, particularly in the suburban locations. Thanks to a boom in financial services and IT as well as stricter building regulations, rents in most key markets in India have skyrocketed. The largest Indian growth rate was posted by the central prime market of Worli, Mumbai, where rents rose by 107 percent over the year, the second highest rate globally. Other global top performers included Calgary, Canada, where the development of the oil industry coupled with limited office supply pushed rents up by 47 percent over 2006. In Europe, Dublin saw the highest rental growth, where prime rents rose by 43 percent in 2006, largely due to supply constraints. London West End continues to be the most expensive location in the world, with a rent of 1,594 per sq.m per year and a total occupancy cost in excess of 2,000 per sq.m per year. Of the top ten locations, only London and Paris retained their positions of first and fourth place respectively in the global ranking. The entry of India (Mumbai) and Ireland (Dublin) into the top ten pushed back Moscow, Milan and New York by two places
compared to the 2005 ranking. The Americas At a regional level, North America recorded 10.9 percent rental growth. This is slightly lower than the global 12.2 percent figure, but compares favourably with Europe at 6.5 percent. South America continued to see the largest gains with an overall increase of 20.7 percent. Buenos Aires was the leading location in rental growth terms, with a 42 percent increase. So Paulo and Rio de Janeiro also improved significantly. In North America, New York Downtown was the best performer, with an annual rental growth of 36 percent. Atlanta (-9 percent) and Silicon Valley (-4 percent) were this year's biggest underperformers. Despite the fact that the US economy entered a period of slower growth in the second half of 2006, the office market recorded the best improvements in vacancy and rents since the end of the 1990s boom. New York Midtown remains the most expensive business location in North America, with a total occupancy cost of just under 670 per sq.m per year. New York Downtown and Washington CBD make up the top three, each with annual total occupancy costs of just under 460 per sq.m per year. Vacancy rates fell in most locations, with some markets including New York Downtown, New York Midtown, Seattle CBD, Washington CBD and Boston CBD seeing vacancy drop below 10 percent.

35
This was a result of strong growth in letting activity over the year; nationally CBD take-up levels were up by a very healthy 10 percent on 2005. Out-of-town locations across the US also proved increasingly popular with occupiers, with falling vacancy and increasing take-up. High levels of demand were evident in key Canadian markets. Vacancy remained much lower than in the USA; the average vacancy is now at less than 4.5 percent. Take-up levels were abnormally high in Toronto in 2006, while in most other locations markets have reached more of an equilibrium
between supply and demand. Activity levels are set to remain at present levels in 2007. Mexico saw more stable market conditions. Despite some renewed interest from multi-nationals the market overall remains quiet, with rental values falling marginally over the year. Turning to South America, the supply of quality Grade-A space is in very short supply in the key markets. The most expensive locations are Rio de Janeiro CBD and So Paulo CBD, both with total annual costs of around 472 per sq.m per year. A mismatch of high levels of demand for well-located, top-quality office space and low supply characterised most of the key South American markets. The Brazilian and Argentinean markets saw rents rise sharply as supply failed to meet demand. The overall vacancy in Rio de Janeiro fell to 8.1 percent, with the supply of Grade-A space at just 2.1 percent. Meanwhile, overall supply in the Buenos Aires Downtown submarket was critically low, at just one percent. The consistent demand for quality product and the lack of investment in Argentina over recent years presents a great opportunity for developers. A further escalation of rental levels is expected in Argentina over the course of 2007. Europe Overall rental performance saw steady improvement for the third consecutive year. Average performance was moderate in 2006, particularly when compared to the very buoyant investment levels. The occupier market saw some improvement across the board, with rental growth seen in over three-quarters of all European locations; a marked improvement on 2005. Overall European rental growth averaged 6.5 percent.
36
The West End of London once again boasts the most expensive rental level in Europe and the World, at 1,594 per sq.m per year. The gap between first and second positions continued to widen, as rental growth in London was more than three times that of Paris, the second most expensive European location. Central Dublin was the market with the largest rental movement over the year, with growth of 38 percent. Only two countries, Greece and the Czech Republic, experienced a fall in rents, although these were only three percent and five percent respectively. The Czech location of Brno saw the largest rental fall in Europe of 19 percent. Central and Eastern Europe continued to outperform Western Europe, with CEE average regional rental growth at 9.2 percent compared to Western Europe's 5.7 percent. Most markets were trending upwards or stable, with only the Czech Republic seeing an erosion in rental values. Romania is the top regional performer this year in terms of rental growth, with prime rents in Timisoara, Brasov and Constanta growing by a quarter due to a supply/demand imbalance. Latvia and Estonia also saw solid levels of rental growth for similar reasons.
The West End of London once again boasts the most expensive rental level in Europe and the World, at 1,594 per sq.m per year. In fact, the rental growth in London was more than three times that of Paris, the second most expensive European location.
On average, European vacancy was trending down due to the lack of development activity and a relative rise in the volume of transactions. Average take-up rose by just over five percent, whilst the overall vacancy rate reached approximately 10.5 percent, the lowest point for four years. Prime space is limited, as occupiers continued their flight to quality in 2006, boosting levels of secondary supply. The supply/demand balance is improving in most European markets. In Western Europe, consolidation continues to be a significant factor in market activity, with tenants still costconscious. However, the lack of space is now pushing back incentives and moving prime rents up. Take-up improved in a number of locations, notably most of the Scandinavian markets, Dublin, Central London and Amsterdam. In Central and Eastern Europe market trends were more uniformly positive. Moscow remains the tightest market in Europe, with a vacancy of 2.6 percent. As Western European economic performance improves and CEE economic growth is starting to slow, moves towards convergence are expected to be more marked into 2007, as some of the slower markets start to see firmer signs of recovery. There is widely expected to be a fuller recovery across Europe into 2007, with more markets
37
experiencing higher rental growth. Asia Pacific Across the Asia Pacific region, key office markets continued to run hot in 2006. The region as a whole witnessed the second highest rental growth rates globally and posted an overall 29 percent increase in the year to December, a solid improvement on the regional growth rate of 15.1 percent recorded in 2005,
and significantly above the 2006 global average of 12.2 percent. India, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore were the strongest markets and were responsible for the majority of the overall growth figure. The Indian office sector delivered a particularly strong performance, as the continued surging growth of the economy was reflected in a dramatic increase in rental levels. Rents in central Mumbai (Worli) more than doubled over the course of the year, while in New Delhi prime rents grew by 88 percent. In the main Indian markets the average annual rental growth stood at 45 percent. Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore were not far behind and saw rents rise by 40 percent, 39 percent and 38 percent respectively over the reporting period. In comparison, mainland China continued to see lower, albeit strong levels of growth. Tokyo has re-established itself as the most expensive city in the region, with a total occupancy cost of 1,493 per sq.m per year. Hong Kong, the second most expensive location had a total occupancy cost of 1,448 per sq.m per year. Mumbai is the Asia Pacific region's third most expensive location at 985 per sq.m per year. As a whole, the region has a relatively low average vacancy rate of just 7.7 percent. The lowest rates are in Tokyo, at three percent, and Seoul, at 3.4 percent, while most of the Indian cities also recorded vacancies of below five percent. The exceptions were New Delhi and Mumbai, where vacancy rates are 10 percent and nine percent respectively. Kuala Lumpur and Taipei have the highest levels of vacancy in the region at 15 percent and 13.6 percent. The supply and demand picture varied significantly across the region, although international expansion of multinationals continued to drive the market in most locations. In India supply constraints, particularly of Grade-A space were partly alleviated by several multinationals venturing into real estate development, attracted by the strong economy and the unmet demand for quality space. Demand for office space in Singapore is expected to remain strong for the next few years. The tight supply of office space is widely expected to contribute to upward pressure on rents over the course of 2007. As the Japanese economy continues its recovery, vacancy rates are expected to continue falling in the main cities and competition for space looks set to drive rents even higher. The expansion of multinationals is still driving the high levels of activity in mainland China. In 2007 approximately 400,000 sq.m of new Grade-A space will be completed. In Australia, demand is increasing in all the main markets, in line with the improving economy. Africa & The Middle East The Africa and Middle East region saw a buoyant performance once again, with average annual rental growth the highest of all global regions at 32 percent, more than double that of last year. There are various key drivers behind this: most notably
38
the price of oil over the past few years and also the strong levels of foreign investment. Each of the locations within the region recorded rental growth, with no stable or declining markets. However the level of rental growth did vary widely from market to market, ranging from Durban CBD at just two percent to Abu Dhabi where rental growth reached 200 percent over the past year. The market with the highest rental value was Kuwait, where rents were almost 640 per sq.m per year. Kuwait also had the second highest level of rental growth, moving up by 41 percent during 2006. Although still the most expensive in terms of rental values, the gap between Kuwait City and the second highest narrowed significantly over the year, with Abu Dhabi just 20 per sq.m less at 619 per sq.m/year. The Israeli locations continued to offer the best value, at a rent of between approximately 170 and 225 per sq.m per year. The highest African rent was in Sandton, at around 150 per sq.m/year, however this market saw one of the lower rental growth levels at just five percent. Johannesburg is the African star performer, with 29 percent rental growth over 2006, the third highest regionally. Property market performance has picked up considerably over the past year. Although in some cases vacancy is relatively high, for example, Johannesburg at 15 percent, almost across the board supply is moving down and demand is strong and/or
improving. In both main UAE markets supply is extremely tight. This is expected to ease in Dubai, as a large programme of buildings works is scheduled for 2007.
RETAIL REAL ESTATE OVERVIEW

The last few years have seen the longest sustained period of global economic expansion for decades, with each of the last three years recording healthy GDP growth. Moreover, whilst the pace of growth may be set to ease in the year ahead, this broad trend is set to continue despite the hefty increases in energy prices, rising interest rates and the continuing threat of terrorism and political instability.

Whilst retailers have had to absorb the effect of recent cost increases, the tone of the retail sector globally is one of cautious optimism, amid continuing growth and expansion into new markets. The retail sector remains very active in terms of new store openings, investment in new formats, new development, redevelopment and mergers and acquisitions. Around the world, consumer demand for exciting retail formats and high quality retail facilities has rarely been stronger and this is reflected in the strongest rental growth figures seen for a number of years. Barriers to market entry and investment are coming down -not just within the EU but also in the largest emerging markets of India and China which offer vast potential markets for retailers, developers and investors alike.
The Americas Demand for prime retail property across the Americas has been robust. In the United States, whilst consumer spending growth has slowed, the retail property market has proved resilient and still managed to deliver solid rental growth of 10.7 percent. Most of the major city downtown markets have had an excess of demand over supply for prime space which has pushed rents to record levels. Rents in New York's 5th Avenue again went up to ensure that the city maintained its number one position as the highest rented high street in the world. In Canada, most high street locations recorded a good rental uplift, with a variety of factors such as strong employment growth and residential development coming into play in the key city markets. High oil prices have also benefited cities such as Alberta in the main oil-producing regions. In Latin America meanwhile, the main story is the continuing

rise of hypermarkets and shopping centres, although it is clear that the high street still has an important role to play in the retail hierarchy. New shopping centre development is continuing in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Chile, with schemes increasingly taking on features seen elsewhere such as entertainment and catering facilities, in order to enhance their appeal to consumers. Europe In Europe, generally, retail rental growth accelerated above the relatively stable rate seen over the last three to four years. Major brands continue to seek representation on the main high streets, boosting demand for large flagship stores which are in relative short supply. Indeed, supply-demand imbalances have been the key driver of high street growth across most markets, with demand from domestic and, increasingly, international operators for a limited supply of right size, right configuration space. In Western Europe, improving consumer and business sentiment is feeding through to prime property by way of renewed activity and rental growth in a number of markets, although the picture is not as positive for secondary locations. Belgium's market remained buoyant throughout the year and rents were up by 19.6 percent the strongest in Western Europe. Ireland also continued to perform well and recorded growth of 9.5 percent. Spain again outperformed the majority of its neighbours meanwhile, with growth of 7.4 percent, despite slower retail sales growth. France and Italy recorded growth of 3.9 percent and 2.8 percent respectively, whilst Germany at last started to see some signs of recovery after several years of weak growth albeit that rents rose by just 1.6 percent over the year. In Portugal, the lease reform which came in to effect this year is expected to take its time to work through the market, but should deliver good longer term rental growth on the high street. The focus continues to extend steadily eastwards to new markets from an occupational, development and investment perspective. This is being fuelled by rising disposable incomes

and continuing retail sales growth, in addition to a significant under-provision of modern retail stock in some markets. Indeed, most countries in Central and Eastern Europe have recorded strong increases in retail sales in the last couple of years, some of them breaking into double-digit growth. Asia Pacific Asia Pacific was the strongest performing region, with the economy proving most resilient. Tourism continues to play a significant role in Hong Kong's retail sector, where rents rose almost five percent on the back of the influx of Chinese and East Asian tourists. The 'Facilitated Individual Travel' policy has continued to have a positive impact on the territory's retail sector since its launch in 2004. Following the opening of Disneyland Hong Kong, the Ngong Ping 360 cable car is expected to increase tourist numbers further and this should boost the retail market in the short term. Despite the slowdown in GDP growth, Chinas economy is still growing strongly and continues to attract new overseas

retailers and investors. Rents have been boosted by steady demand and growth has been seen in prime locations around the country as supply struggles to keep pace. Legislation restricting real estate acquisitions by foreign investors is expected but investor demand remains undiminished given the sheer scale of the opportunities in the market. Japan's retail property revival continues meanwhile, with rents in central Tokyo increasing sharply in the face of limited supply, with a number of foreign operators continuing to struggle to find units. The rent differential between prime and secondary locations in the capital has widened significantly and land prices in central commercial zones have also increased dramatically. The rapid expansion of the retail sector in India has meant that supply has lagged demand, leading to very steep rental growth in a number of major cities. In some locations, planning restrictions on new development are exacerbating the problem, although the number of modern schemes continues to increase in the satellite towns of the largest cities. Africa & The Middle East Whilst the short term outlook is more uncertain following the volatile geo-political situation on Israel's borders, the country's retail property market had picked up, with the strongest rental growth seen in Tel Aviv, followed by Jerusalem. Interest from international chains also picked up providing encouraging news for the retail property market and good rental growth was recorded in some locations. In South Africa, the trend away from high street towards shopping centres has continued, with consumers and retailers preferring to opt for a safer shopping environment with a wide range of shops offered by the larger out-of-town shopping centres.

Asia, but Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East are also likely to outperform world average growth rates. Although the US economy is not slowing as quickly as was originally feared, a wider negative impact is expected but this should only be felt in the latter half of 2007. Monetary tightening will also act to slow global growth towards the end of the year. The global office occupational market will continue to improve in all regions in 2007. Rents are predicted to rise further and in more locations. Demand, already healthy in most markets, should remain strong with the potential to improve in the majority of locations. Even in markets where take-up is expected to remain stable, demand is generally healthy and the limited supply should continue to erode vacancy rates. The Global Retail Space The outlook for 2007 looks to be a little more uncertain, with global growth expected to slow, most notably in response to the end of the period of relatively low interest rates which has supported consumer sentiment globally over recent years. Rising interest rates in the US appear to be dampening the housing market there and the strength of continued growth in consumer spending is increasingly being questioned. The knockon effect on countries which are dependent on US demand such as Latin America and the Emerging Asian economies could be significant. However, for the Asia Pacific region as a whole

CONCLUSION
The outlook for the global economy is positive, although GDP growth is expected to dampen slightly from 3.8 percent to 3.2 percent in 2007. Economic growth will continue to be driven by

the growth in intra-regional trade should help to mitigate such effects. Growth in China, meanwhile, is expected to slow from its recent double-digit rate, as the government tries to boost the importance of private consumption in the economy against its current overdependence on investment. Having achieved only modest growth in recent years, prospects for the European economy have improved meanwhile, with even the lacklustre consumer sector beginning to show signs of a more positive revival. Of the three main Euro zone economies, France is likely to be the better performer, while Germany may see its recent impressive performance blunted by the implementation of 2007's VAT hikes. As far as retail property is concerned, there is still reason to be cautiously optimistic. Clearly, there will be challenges for the global retail sector as there have been in recent years, but retailing has shown itself to be resilient, innovative and increasingly cross-border. Whilst a range of threats will continue to persist so too will the opportunities. These include the opening up of large and increasingly wealthy consumer markets such as Brazil, Russia, Turkey, India and China where demand for consumer goods is growing rapidly and the need for top class retailers and high quality retail development remains strong. Growth in the more mature markets may be more limited, but there are nevertheless significant opportunities to refurbish, redevelop and experiment with new formats, as consumers become ever more selective and demanding. Cross border opportunities look likely to remain high on the agenda at the same time, the trend towards globalization and consolidation via corporate activity, will remain strong as we see the steady emergence of stronger global retail brands.

is very tight and, as a result of the lack of quality Grade-A space many companies were forced to look for alternatives to the CBD. Barra da Tijuca, a new business district some 25 km outside the city centre, is becoming increasingly popular. Availability is slightly better in So Paulo, although increased letting activity caused overall vacancy to decline. Aided by a more stable economic environment and the increasing availability of consumer credit, the retail property market is enjoying a period of strong growth. Robust occupier demand has driven up rents in the key locations in many cities. Shopping centres are increasingly dominant, often at the expense of high street locations. Russia Russia has once again seen a positive performance in 2006. Supply levels have grown considerably, but demand has grown even faster. Vacancy in Moscow is now at just 2.7 percent, the lowest in Europe. Meanwhile, take-up has again reached an historic high, at approximately 1.2 million sq.m. Rents have risen both in and out-of-town as a consequence over the year. Demand should remain high in 2007, with increasing interest in the decentralised areas, where more modern space is available. The rapid expansion of the retail sector

has caused a degree of volatility in rents. Some Moscow high streets have experienced good growth, whilst others have been more adversely affected by increased competition from new shopping centres. Longer term prospects for the market nevertheless remain positive. India Strong rental growth continued unabated in 2006 across major cities in India, as the IT and financial services sector boosted demand. A noticeable trend was increased interest in peripheral areas. This was helped by government spending on infrastructure, coupled with a lack of space and relatively high rents in central markets. Supply levels improved due to several multinationals venturing into office development, attracted by the surging economy and the unmet demand for quality space. The retail sector is booming, aided in part by a more liberal policy on foreign investment. Whilst there are unprecedented levels of new development, good quality space is limited and rental levels have increased across the market. JVs between domestic and international retailers are increasingly common. China The office markets in Shanghai and

Beijing delivered another good performance in 2006. Take-up levels remained high, driven by both domestic and multinational companies. Both cities have substantial development pipelines; this is particularly the case in Beijing, where the large amount of new supply pushed vacancy in the CBD to over 12 percent, compared to Shanghai's four percent. Despite the new space entering the market, both Beijing and Shanghai saw double-digit rental growth over the year. The retail sector has continued to expand rapidly, driven by the growing influx of international operators as well as new development. The impact on rents has been mixed, however, with rents in Beijing under upward pressure whilst rents in Shanghai have softened marginally due to increased supply.

onsumption is bound to be high in a country of 1.121 billion but it is really the quality of consumption that will actually portray the potential for retail and real estate growth. The quality of consumption, in turn, is a direct function of the overall growth of the economy, and factors ensuring sustainability of the growth momentum. There is undoubtedly an all round buoyancy in the Indian economy with GDP growth coming closer to the double-digit figure, and a booming services sector. Rising incomes have fueled the growth of a new class of consumers, mostly young, whose spendings are quite independent from the traditional family ways. This change in lifestyles is a result of the rising disposable incomes of this young consumer base.

India possesses an enormously vast pool of highly skilled professionals in the knowledge and technical domains, nearly two lakh engineers graduating every year; and yet experts believe that this number may fall short of the ensuing demand in the coming years. Urban jobs are reported to have increased by nearly 23 percent in 2006. The government of India has only recently taken cognisance of this growing demand of skilled manpower by announcing a doubling of the countrys premier technology and management institutes. The last couple of years have seen an annual increase of 15-20 percent in salaries of the employed, which has in effect reduced the chasm between the middle class and the affluent. It is estimated that the great Indian middle class will comprise 32-35 percent of the population by 2010. That the growth in consumption is not limited just to the metros and large tier-II cities is evident from the fact that more than one-third of the mall developments and a significant number of the upcoming hypermarkets and large department stores are happening in the tier-III cities. Over the last couple of years, Retail and Real Estate are among the fastest growing sectors in the Indian economy. Global industry analysts have time and again confirmed the country's potential as one of the most attractive emerging retail markets of the world. The increased consumer demand, improved sourcing options, liberalisation of investment policies, and larger availability of real estate, coupled with higher disposable incomes and changing preferences of consumers are together creating the foundation for significant growth and revolution in the retail and retail real estate sectors. IMAGES F&R Research estimates reveal that the Private Final Consumption Expenditure in India (domestic market) for year 2006-07 at current prices stand at Rs.2,340,000 crore. These estimates put the growth rate at 11.8 percent over the previous year in the backdrop of inflationary pressures prevalent during the period. Private consumption expenditure in 2004-05 was to the tune of Rs.1,890,619 crore which increased by 10.7 percent to Rs.2,093,787 crore in 2005-06.

The growth rate of domestic household spends on leisure and entertainment, however, came down from 2004-05, when the segment had clocked in the highest growth rate of 28.3 percent over spends made in 2003-04. Another significant expenditure segment is healthcare and medical expenses (Rs.138,053 crore, indicating a 15.1 percent growth over last years household medical expenses). Recent announcement by Reliance industry to set up over a thousand heath care facilities across the country is an aim towards providing quality services in this segment. This report analyses shopping centre developments in India across four broad geographic zones. In view of that, a general overview of the level of private consumption expenditure across these zones is worth mention. In 2006 the population of India is estimated at 1,121 million and the population is highest in the North zone (342 million) followed by the East (311 million), South (238 million) and the West zone (230 million) in the order. In line with the population figures,
Private Consumption expenditure is highest in the North zone (more than 700,000 crore) and lowest in the West. A realistic indication of consumption expenditure obtaining from specific zones, states or cities is obtained from the average annual per capita expenditure. The national average for Rural areas is Rs.17,287 and for the urban centres it is Rs.Rs.29,652. Zone-wise, average consumption is highest for rural areas in the South (Rs.21,621) followed by the North (Rs.17,064), East (Rs.16,184) and is lowest in the West (Rs.14,959). For the urban centres, average per capita private consumption expenditure is highest in the West zone (Rs.30,734) with the South zone slightly behind at Rs.30,238 followed by the North (Rs.29,398) and East (Rs.27,599) in the order.

projected to grow to Rs.1,308,000 crore by 2010. The organised retail market, on the other hand, is estimated to reach Rs.66,500 crore in 2007, and as per the prevailing trends, it is likely to surpass Rs.200,000 crore by year 2010. The India Retail Report 2007 pegs the current Indian retail market size (at 2006 current prices) at Rs.12,00,000 crore, with the size of the organised pie being Rs. 55,000 crore. About 4.6 percent of the total Indian retail market stood organised in 2006. Food and grocery is the largest retail segment (Rs.7,43,900 crore) whereas Fashion is the largest organised retail segment. Comprising clothing, textiles and fashion accessories, the organised fashion market in India is estimated at Rs.21,400 crore.

The high paced growth of organised retail will certainly weaken traditional retailing, but not necessarily in absolute terms. The share of organised retailing will increase primarily due to an increase in the overall retail market. Within organised retailing, the presence of malls will provide a cushion for the traditional retailers to register a foothold in the modern retail environment. With more and more malls opening up, there will also be an urgency to differentiate with regards to the tenant/retailer mix. Larger organised players will eventually opt for standalone outlets for their diversification and the traditional high street retailers are most likely to fill the space within the malls. This may bring about a win-win situation for all concerned in this rapidly changing retail landscape.
CONSUMER DEMOGRAPHICS AND CHANGING CONSUMPTION DEMANDS INNOVATION IN UPCOMING MALL PROJECTS
BY ARVIND SINGHAL > Chairman, Technopak
ndia is at an exciting tipping point in its socio economic progress that makes it the cynosure of local and global investors. A plethora of reasons drives this intense speculation over investing in the India Boom a rapidly growing economy propelled by a de-ageing demographic profile and a confidence rarely seen in the so-called developing nations. These tectonic shifts in demography and economic potential are rapidly moulding consumer expectations, spending and aspirations. With a healthy GDP which currently stands at Rs.38,23,415 crore (US$930 billion: that is projected to have a sustainable real GDP growth rate of eight percent till 2020), India is the worlds fourth largest economy on GDP (in PPP terms) and is expected to rank third by 2010 just behind the US and China. According to internal Technopak estimates, the Indian retail market one of India's fastest growing industries is expected to grow close to 12 percent p.a. in the coming decade to almost double its size in next five years from Rs.13,56,949 crore (US$330 billion) to Rs.23,80,309 crore (US$579 billion) by 2011.

The prognoses for retail in India is heartening given some fairly well-documented changes in the demographics of Emerging India a large, young working population with a median age of 24 years, increasing number of nuclear families in urban areas (45 percent of urban families are nuclear!), a sizeable workingwomen population and emerging opportunities in the services sector are going to be the key growth drivers of the organised retail sector. When you add to the above the fact that India is also adding middle class homes faster than you can blink (between 1995 and 2005, middle class homes grew from 45 lakh to 187 lakh and by 2010 this number may touch close to 330 lakh), the country seems ripe for a consumer-led retail revolution. So, it is no surprise that India has topped the years annual Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) to win as the most attractive market for retail investment.
HIGH PRIVATE CONSUMPTION AND ITS IMPACT ON INDIA RETAIL

The high private consumption is one of the major factors for the growing retail industry. Over 62 percent of the private consumption share is towards the retail sector, of which 55 percent is the contribution from the rural areas, indicating the increasing significance of retail presence in rural areas. The Retail Market: Rural/Urban Split Almost half of retail market in 2006 is in rural India; however the share of urban market is increasing by almost five percent every eight to 10 years; 53 percent of the urban population contributes to 27 percent of the total retail market which amounts to Rs.3,28,767 crore (US$80 billion), implying reaching out to the top 141 cities to address this opportunity. Retail Market: The Rural Split Rural India consists of 7,200 lakh consumers across 6,27,000 villages; 17 percent of these villages account for 50 percent of
the rural population and 60 percent of the rural wealth implying reaching out to almost 100,000+ villages to address even 50 percent of this rural opportunity. Food, Beverages and Tobacco account for 65 percent of the

For example Food, Beverages and Tobacco would be about 40 percent of the PFCE. The Key Trends That Will Impact The Retail Sector The three key trends have certain issues of concern associated with them, for example the extent and likely impact of urbanisation. Some of the issues are listed as below: Urbanisation v How rapid is it going to be? v What is the likely impact on consumption and its growth/trends? Changing Family Structures v What is the future family structure? v How is it going to impact shopping behaviour? v How is it going to impact the spending power and hence consumption? Demographic Changes v What would be the demographic structure of India in next five, ten, 15 years? v How is it going to impact shopping behaviour? v How is it going to impact the spending power and hence consumption?
Hence it is important for all to track demographic and socioeconomic changes, evolving consumer needs and desires, and behavioural transformation as it takes place including buying behaviour. It is also important to have multi-channel, pan-India strategy for those who are aspiring to hold leadership position in the industry in the years to come. Retail Sector Developments The retail sector is transforming rapidly and within next five years the top seven retailers are expected to invest around Rs.65,743 crore (USD16 billion). Investments in the range of Rs.90,380 crore+ (US$22 billion) are expected in the next five years in retail and its supply chain alone. The size of modern retail is likely to touch Rs.2,45,000-3,00,000 crore (US$60-75 billion) by 2011-12; implying about 15-18 percent share of modern retail. At least 25 lakh additional direct jobs are likely to be created in the next five years. Hyper-competition is expected to set in by 2008-9 as the footprint of the top-six players starts significant overlapping in top 20-30 towns. This indicates a significant impact on other retailers and branded good players creating new opportunities and threats. In short, India is attempting to do in 10 years what took 25-30 years in other major markets in the world and shall bypass many stages of evolution of modern retail. India is likely to see emergence of several innovative India specific retail business models and retail formats in the coming years. India Consumers: The Largest Beneficiaries There would be multiple benefits for the middle-class consumers (and lower income consumers). These can be summed up as reduction of prices in typical monthly 'basic needs' shopping bill by at least 10 percent within next 24-30 months leading to generation of an equivalent amount of surplus disposable income. It also implies improvement in quality of fresh/perishable products

of distribution of mall space. And banish the thought that the malls are a metro phenomenon Kochi, Visakhapatnam, Surat, Patna, Guwahati are some of the cities where malls are coming up. Tier-II cities like Kochi and Mysore are expected to see at least a million square feet of mall area added by 2010. Malls make for a fascinating study on the subject of cultural familiarisation and acclimatisation. What started out as a generalised, western-mimicked formula for success is today, extremely customised and localised for the Great Indian Middle Class. A mall used to be the bastion of the privileged class once upon a time; in the span of 5 years it is the social networking site for the vast middle classes. A trip to the mall is not just about shopping; it is about a basic sociological need reconnecting. It is about reconnecting with the fast-disappearing concept of family time or with friends or even reconnecting with oneself. A mall today is like a traditional Indian thali it has something for everybody in the family, making it the perfect destination for a family on a weekend or indeed, even on a weekday evening. The air-conditioned comfort, music, gaming arcades, entertainment areas, food courts and all-under-one-roof merchandise ensure that every member of the shopping group is indulged while the milling crowds obviate the need to converse. The malls embrace diversity and it that lies their biggest strength. However, it is precisely this diversity that makes the task of
and improved assortment, and reliability of availability. Tremendous Opportunities for Real Estate Additional consumption of almost Rs.5,00,000 crore (About US$127 billion) will require about 6,000-7,000 lakh sq.ft of additional retail space by 2011. Current projections on constructions are about 2,000 lakh sq.ft (or less), leaving a gap of almost 4,000-5,000 lakh sq.ft. Investment of about US$1015 billion is needed to make up for this demand-supply gap, and an additional investment of US$8-10 billion is needed in retail fit-outs and related equipment. However, this space is needed across more than 1,000 towns and in major rural hubs rather than clustered around top 4050 cities only. The developments have to be planned keeping targeted consumers and the targeted retailers and other service providers in mind rather than first build based on availability of land and hiring an architect, and then find who could use the space. Major hypermarket format retail players will probably work on the basis of taking up space in upcoming malls as well as building own big boxes.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CURRENT RETAIL REAL ESTATE SCENARIO

Despite this bright forecast for the future, there is a deep, lurking sense of foreboding when profit making in the retail space is discussed in close circles. The huge initial investments required in this field render break-even prospects bleak. It is a constant battle to consistently bring huge numbers of footfalls into a retail outlet and an even greater challenge to maintain a respectable average transaction value. Wooing the consumer in the face of more distractions and competition is becoming a priority for success.
On the Gurgaon 'Mall Mile'
While the number of new formats launched in the countrys retail landscape has been mind-boggling, the most visible face of this surge in modern retail has been the spectacular rise in the number of shopping malls across the country. According to internal Technopak estimates, the number of malls in the country is expected to go up from 158 in 2005 to 600 in 2010. Delhi is expected to lead among all the metros in terms

consumer-delight so difficult given the number and distinctiveness of the consumer segments to focus on. Every significant change in the demography of the country has grave implications for service and product management in the malls. I have outlined only a few of the most critical challenges for mall developers. Their response to these challenges will determine their ability to successfully cash in on the India Boom. When one throws together an assortment of demographic nuggets, the cluster of necessities for a mall to accept is very clear. Almost 55 percent of Indias GDP comes from the service class, the time spent in work-related pursuits (travelling to work and actual work hours) has grown sharply, the number of double income families has been on the rise which has meant less together-time despite a higher disposable income, steadily deteriorating infrastructure and environmental conditions and most importantly, a vigorous pursuit of youthfulness to stay relevant in these changing times. Do malls mould their offering to match these new demographic and psycho-graphic realities of India?
The security services in a mall are still way below international standards and do not address uniquely Indian issues such as two adults monitoring two elders and three kids (!), women feeling unsafe in public spaces, huge class friction in many of the mall heartlands causing the mall consumers to fear even the mall staff and the mall security. A conundrum that strikes me every time I visit a mall is the expectation and hope that mall shoppers will shop to their hearts content but the absence of any designated place to leave the

Managing these large groups inside the mall, providing each group with a decongested experience is critical. Apart from the physical space to comfortably browse, malls also need to provide 'people' parking spaces.
shopping bags. These shopping bags are carried along from one store to another, deposited and collected from the baggage counter at each store. Why should a consumer shop for more than is necessary under these circumstances? Unlike the West, Indian shopping groups are big and sometimes as big as seven to eight members! Managing these large groups inside the mall, providing each group with a decongested experience is critical. Apart from the physical space provided to comfortably browse, malls also need to provide parking spaces for people. These human parking lots will allow the crowd to thin out visually, aid easier navigation within the malls and allow the older members of the group recouping time so that they return refreshed to the shopping trip. My favourite example here is Inorbit mall in Mumbai. The mall has well designed parking spaces positioned most thoughtfully at various nooks and corners of the mall. The trick here though, is to ensure that these parking spaces are not right in front of the stores it takes away from the buzz or vibrancy of the store.
INFRASTRUCTURE
One of the biggest challenges facing mall developers today is the lack of infrastructural support for the millions of square feet being developed as well as the millions spent in creating the right look and feel for the malls. Given the unavailability of land in prime areas, most malls dot the periphery of the city limits and require considerable effort to access. In an increasingly time-starved world, malls need to ensure that consumer time is spent inside the mall, shopping, rather than commuting to and from the mall. Access to the mall is still a problem with regards to parking no amount of parking space seems enough! Simplifying the access to the malls is likely to pay rich dividends to mall owners by making the mall a more frequently accessed shopping place rather than a once-a-week shopping destination. More than any other tenant the super and hypermarkets in the mall are likely to benefit from this changed perspective with which shoppers visit the mall.

Ideally, these parking spaces are best positioned in nooks and corners or near elevators or escalators which are natural decompression zones for consumers on shopping trips.
POSITIONING FOR SIGNIFICANT NICHES

Malls today (with very few exceptions) have no defined positioning or reason to score over other malls. It seems that developers put in the same concepts, the same tenants, the same experience (or lack of it) with the amount of space being the only differentiating variable between one mall and the other. For proof of this, one only has to go to the Gurgaon mall road. No less than 10 malls will sit cheek to cheek on this road but there is absolutely no reason to visit one over the other except the ones that have better movies playing or available parking at a certain time of the day. This lack of clear positioning has led to the malls becoming melting pots or socio economic levellers resulting in the upper end of the consuming class experiencing a profound loss of their space. As the middle classes throng to the malls, the upper classes try to find new spaces to spend their time and money. A long-felt need for an exclusive mall experience is now being realized as more and more mall developers focus on the premium mall concept. Atria, the Millennium Mall in Worli, Mumbai is one such case in point. Several more malls are slated to target this audience in the key metros. However what these malls need to do is to go beyond just housing premium pr luxury brands and focus on the premium experience. Most of the affluent class today travel abroad on work or pleasure (the number
of Indians travelling abroad is increasing by 25 percent each year; just last year, 83 lakh people travelled abroad) and therefore access to premium brands is not an issue. Being made to feel special, having their privacy guarded zealously is more important. The money is there to be spent if the experience is part of the selling. Premium malls have a lot to learn about service from premium automobile or jewellery retailers or even the hospitality industry. A welcome drink, a cold or warm towel at strategic points in the mall, quick pedicures or manicures/massages, valet to park/retrieve the cars, more efficient shopping trolleys, trained and articulate sales staff (minus the Body Odour) the list can continue endlessly. Just as the super premium malls are here to stay, so is another concept based on changing psychographics of new India. The concept of the highway mall is appropriately being kick-started by the fountainhead of malls Gurgaon. Other border areas such as Sonepat, Badarpur etc. are also seeing heightened activity in this regard. The highway malls aim to capture two distinct target segments the frequent traveller (who works across the border) looking to maximise time by accessing a mall on the way home, and the long-distance, cross country family travellers accessing the mall to rejuvenate, unwind, recoup. My favourite example of a theme mall is a combination of contexts a room crunch faced by frequent travellers in key metros and a tenant and conversion crunch faced by mall developers. The result hotel rooms in malls that satiate the huge demand for hotel rooms in India, both by domestic as well as International travellers. The additional facility in the mall is not as much of a burden for the

be most prevalent in these towns and a replicated model will only pique curiosity but fail to translate into desired revenues. Developers will have to start understanding the culture of shopping in these towns as well as the relationship consumers share with existing trade in these places. In our experience there is a high degree of variance in shopping group size, composition and expectations. For example, there is an extremely high degree of participation in shopping from the older segment in Gujarat, consumers in Bhopal are likely to visit their traditional outlets for apparel but visit a mall for entertainment and leisure. Consumers in Tamil Nadu and AP are likely to spend much more on the movie experience while consumers in Delhi are likely to spend on the eating out experience. Malls that are cognizant of these peculiarities are likely to allocate space more efficiently to tenants and have a better offering to give the consumers of that region.
developer as there is no need to acquire fresh land for these rooms. Ansal API and Ambience Hospitality Management are creating about 100 rooms each at two of their malls coming up in Greater Noida and Gurgaon. In keeping with the de-ageing of the country, affiliated needs such as health, looking good and entertainment are becoming prime motivators for shopping. Therefore, concepts that target these needs exclusively are also likely to do very well. Gaming malls, health malls, beauty malls, jewellery malls, sports and fitness malls will mushroom over the Indian retail landscape and also have their dedicated clientele. But unless these malls find a way to make visits to the mall regular rather than occasional, the money to be made here is likely to be slim. These malls should focus on selling a mix of products and services rather than focus exclusively on products. Services are consumed, experienced and forgotten making them perfect to build habit and repeat visits.

COMMUNITY FOSTERING
Malls will either intentionally or otherwise have an emphatic impact on the landscape. They are bound to upset traffic patterns, road carrying capacity, parking spaces in surrounding roads or residential areas and most importantly, since malls are typically planned on the outskirts of the city limits, there is also a displacement of the local ethos. Take for example, Gurgaon what was once a village with an assortment of occupations saw a mall spring up which then gave rise to a plethora of high-rise buildings and opulent complexes. Imagine the imbalance caused by a village and a sprawling newage township existing side-by-side! It is important that developers give something back to the community they so easily become a part of -whether in terms of employment opportunities or infrastructural development or a partnership in ideas. All said and done, if the estimate of 600 malls by 2010 is even remotely true, the novelty value alone will no longer suffice to target the new demographic Indian entity. Tenants too would be loathe to invest in a mall that is just the same as the one down the road! Developers will not only have to think about real estate, restrictive regulations and retail teething problems but also have to build and differentiate their offering credibly and visibly from other malls to survive in the long run. This is the time to start building the knowledge advantage required to build these distinctly and innovatively positioned malls. India is rapidly changing is mall thinking keeping pace?!
LOCALISED MALLS
With the keen interest in tier-II and III towns for mall development, mall developers also need to start thinking beyond replicating the International models in theme. Local tastes and preferences are likely to

s the modern shopping centre phenomenon continues to impact India's urban landscape, with about 500 malls expected to be operational by year 2010, the chances of over-supply of retail space is also becoming a cause of worry for most developers. What we find today is a proliferation of stereotyped malls coming up in clusters, each offering more or less similar products and services. The need of the hour clearly is a concept and design differentiator. It is the timeless appeal to an artless human emotion; and only, human beings have made a fine art of it.

Taking on from there, the ubiquitous bazaar has retained its identity and character, though the semblance in the modern shopping-entertainment-lifestyle blocs is not always obvious. But that can be misleading, especially if one considers a mature market such as the United States, where the evolution of the concept has actually come full circle. For, how else does one see those community/lifestyle centres that diverge from the ancient town/village squares only in terms of the sophistication of products, service and design? Nevertheless, even in terms of design, modern-day shopping structures represent an inspired fusion of the strings of mainstreet shopping and community-centric buzz. The result is interesting a pedestrian shopping environment sought to be complemented by typically high-quality, creative architecture that moves away from the mall clich and largely mixes the uses.

From the frontage to the flooring, the lighting to the play of colours, the common space to the parking lot, the visibility to the branding the design is what defines, differentiates and works. And increasingly, the aim is to touch near-precision point, for the chase, as they say, is both for market-share and mind-share.

optimally. Within the centre, the design plan must clearly lay out the pattern for pedestrian and vehicular flow. To the extent possible, these must be kept apart. The car-parking facilities necessarily form a crucial concern of shopping-centre design.
SHOPPING CENTRE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

From just three malls in year 2000, the country is all set to have over 500 malls by 2010; with most of them in different stages of planning, design and construction. It is estimated that roughly 300 million square feet of quality retail space will be accumulated by 2011. This is almost reminiscent of what happened in America in the late '80s and early '90s, though on a very different scale. As Chris LeTourneur, partner and CEO, Thomas Consultants Inc., pointed out in the last edition of this publication: While it has taken shopping formats around the world centuries to evolve and more specifically shopping malls have taken over 60 years to evolve, India will go through this change process in less than 10 years India stands to benefit greatly from the lessons learnt elsewhere around the globe relating to the creation of shopping centres. Developers in India have recognised that their challenge lies in concocting a blend of learning from international experiences along with local 'Made in India' solutions. There are literally millions of square feet of new shopping centres being constructed that will become operational in the next five years; and which will have a profound impact on the direction that organised retailing takes in India. Some of these centres will survive, while others will be replaced. It is a hugely competitive market out there for developers and retailers alike; but India still has the benefit of learning from the experiences in shopping centre design and development from the many other countries around the globe who have already passed through this cycle. Apart from the functional convenience, the novelty of the mall concept continues to stand it in good stead in India, like it did in the other countries. But what is happening here is, not surprisingly, something in the likeness of a vision-blinding downpour. The long-term prospects are behind a cloud, so to say. And the fact is that the investments and stakes are too high to not merit a re-looking at the way the winds are blowing. Leaving the cost calculations aside, how many of the planned projects are actually underpinned by well-thought-out planning, be it in the context of space, infrastructure, parking, positioning, management, or design? At this stage, most developers have been able to sell mall space prior to, and also during, the construction phase to generate the requisite funds. Often, 50 to 80 percent of the space is sold out even before the construction is completed. This can turn out to be a classic quicksand situation, and there may be reason to feel uneasy about the success rates. So, what factors will clinch the crown for the long-term winners? For, finally, there are only so many numbers and

types of retail/entertainment/food merchants to occupy space in the mall. There is no alternative but to plan well and create a differentiator in the market. Size Does Matter With hypermarkets and other 'big box' retail formats having made their entry into the Indian consumer's psyche like never before, the sizes of malls are ever-increasing. From the typically 20,000 to 40,000 sq.ft formats of 2003-04, today a Big Bazaar, a Hypercity (Mumbai) or a Total hypermarket (Bangalore) itself commands over 1,00,000 sq.ft of floor area forcing the total mall space to escalate to 2,00,000 sq.ft and beyond! The Great India Place in Noida, and the upcoming AmbiMall in Gurgaon are cases in point, where huge, sprawling shopping structures have been constructed. Retail Mix Many concur that ultimately it is the retail mix that defines the environment that needs to be created and fortified through designing. In fact, the traditional shopping environment in India over a period of time has gradually evolved into a more structured version of a shopping centre, with well-laid-out stores flanked by strong anchors and distinguished by a deliberately zoned environment for the ease of shopping experience of the end-user. Entertainment areas with multiplexes and gaming spaces, along with F&B zones and food courts are a necessity in planning a good mall today.
Most international shopping centres follow a themed storyline, which steers the end-user from one destination to the other and keeps the interest sustained throughout the shopping experience. These areas are visually appealing and pleasant. Technology lighting, waterscapes, landscaping is important too.
Sacred Spaces Strong anchors, mini anchors and all the different retail zones in a shopping centre have a role to play. Each zone is classified based upon the estimated footfalls, the profile of the targeted end-user, the product categories one is defining, and the brand identity of the retailers. The zones are accordingly designed to obtain the desired ambience through creative use of lighting, sound, colour and texture. Most international shopping centres follow a themed storyline, which steers the end-user from one destination to the other and keeps the interest sustained throughout the shopping experience. These areas are usually well-lit and visually appealing and pleasant. Here the signage, lighting effects,

sound and environmental graphics play an important role. Technology lighting, waterscapes, landscaping, visual/animated feature elements plays an important role too. Circulation Circulation in the context of shopping centres should be created to enable the space to conveniently accommodate movement of people around the mall both horizontally and vertically. Space within a store should be designed in a manner in which a harmony, relationship and movement of traffic between different areas is maintained. Food courts in a mall should be strategically located in such a manner that the peripheral noise is avoided, but at the same time facilitates maximum visibility. The obvious reason: to increase the number of footfalls (which may increase the number of conversions) in the shopping centre. Clear demarcation of spaces also acts as a guide for a customer while strolling inside the store. Retailers today demand more column-free spaces for the optimal utilisation of leased area and more height for the appreciation of spaces in the store. The need of large lobbies and circulation spaces such as atrium and lounges has increased the loading of gross leasable area (GLA) over the super-built up area in shopping malls. Most mall developers in India have been traditionally charging 25-30 per cent as a loading factor on usable area. This is because the sanctioning authorities include the area consumed by lobbies, lounges and atriums in the calculation of total floor space index (FSI). Global standards, in contrast, suggest that five to 10 percent of the total built-up area is allowed free of FSI for such areas in shopping centre
Vehicle parking, which can act as a key element in making a success or a failure out of a shopping centre, is a definitive constraint here in India. It is emerging as one of the key factors in consumers' decisions on where to go shopping. Convenience, accessibility, security and fee are preponderant factors that play on the shopper's mind while making a mall visit.
design. Parking Vehicle parking, which can act as a key element in making a success or a failure out of a shopping centre, is a definitive constraint here in India. It is emerging as one of the key factors in consumers' decisions on where to go shopping. Convenience, accessibility, security and fee are preponderant factors that play on the shopper's mind while making a mall visit. As the percentage of car ownership goes up in India, the upcoming malls must plan to maintain the ratio of parking space to retail space. Alongside, developers must adopt a professional and methodical approach to managing parking amenities, using technology to control traffic flow, delivering user-friendly services, and improving security. A good solution is to create space efficiencies by using less land optimally, supported by technology. Multi-level parking garages provide a very good alternative, besides also effectively placing most vehicles close to the shopping action. Parking plazas atop buildings can be considered, too.

The Aesthetics of Synergy In an ideal world, all shopping centres would be structured to strike a balance so as to ensure uniformity for the mall; and at the same time, to take care that each store retains its individuality. And nothing less than the ideal would work in a world that is never short of ideas and visionaries. The 'next big idea' will always take over. Among the leading retail companies in India, the shopping centre concept is starting to attain more distinct outlines. They know what they are, and ought to be, looking for. This calls for a fine balancing act between hardcore practicalities and sensibilities of the other kind. It is location, catchments, type of tenant/brand mix and the infrastructural facilities within the

can therefore be implemented quickly. At the end of the day, retailers, other tenants and investors are an enlightened audience. Whether one is an investor/retailer, the ultimate focus is to encash investments. To make that happen it is very essential that the shopping mall should be so designed that it is able to bring home the revenues. This can only be executed when design formats are so evolved that they are able to cater to traffic mobilisation, create values for the brand, and, most important, are synergistic in nature. When brands do not synergise, the net worth of the architectural design will fail to deliver. Now more than ever before market forces demand that we create a more dynamic and distinctive environment. The first reason being competition: big box and hypermarket retailers have captured mass-market commodity purchases; and secondly because of the continued segmentation of retail
71
offerings into narrower and deeper demographic targets. Consumer profiling today has become a social science replete with experts who can describe distinct shopping profiles with individual aspirations and expectations! Regardless of whether a shopping centre in India today fulfils all of the abovementioned design criteria, we need to recognise that the average shopping time among urban Indian consumers is getting shorter; and also that it's considered convenient only when the store has value-priced offerings. An important trend in shopping centres today is the growing percentage of F&B and entertainment retailers, who are proving to be effective in extending the shopping visit. Creating interior environments that enhance these elements and promote an extended mall visit is just as critical as the provisions of character, features and amenities that encourage more frequent trips.
CONCLUSION
Design as an important element is finally coming on its own, since retailers have realised that this is what underlines and binds the customer's gamut of experiences at the shopping centre. In particular, the consideration is for spatial allocation between different tenants, space and layout of the store, floor plate, navigation offered to customers, store exteriors and fittings provided, accessibility for store staff, space for merchandise, displays and signage. Finally, mall developers in India need to be open to innovation as organised retail develops and evolves by itself. There is scope aplenty as the industry itself is at a transformational stage and changes

etail in India is changing the way consumers perceive and experience shopping. The process of evolution began with the traditional high street and air-conditioned shopping complexes of the pre-1990s era. These eventually led to the growth of the present day large shopping malls, multiplexes and shopping centres. Such shopping establishments are not limited to India's metro cities alone tier-II and III towns too are appearing on the retail map with increasing prominence. The increasing demand for new format retail stores has put pressure on shopping centre architects and designers to create lifestyle destinations that match international standards in shopping establishment design. Can we claim that India's retail districts have attained a level of design and ambience comparable with those in developed countries? We are getting there, but the answer is still a resounding 'no'. Rather, we are at a stage where the retailers, developers and investors

perceive the need for additional innovations in mall design. We still have a long way to go. The design process of any retail format is largely dictated by the target consumer's culture and behavioural pattern. In other words, one cannot transplant one set of design patterns from one place to another. However, international standards in designing and circulation of spaces can and should inspire formats for shopping centres in India.
formats. These stores are generally characterised by the large volume of space that they occupy, and their capacity to attract customers from the immediate catchments as well as beyond. Such stores, often called city centres or malls, are situated in out-of-town locations made sustainable due to the robust infrastructure, which allows weekend trips to such locations for shopping and leisure. The interiors, exteriors and ambience they create suggest a definite strategy of the mall developers in imagecreation. The format's potential is gaining recognition in India, but how many family destinations or Family Entertainment Centres (FECs) can we boast of? Not many. One of the main reasons for this lack is of course the high real estate cost. However, there are some large shopping centres coming up, and these have made their mark in the highly competitive retail estate market in the country.
ELEMENTS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS

Occupier Identity Internationally, it is possible to identify proper demarcation of the occupier mix. There is a clear strategy for the placement of occupiers within a mall. Space for various

magnet for attracting customers to the store (and eventually to the mall). Hence, a proper understanding of the requirement of anchor spaces is necessary before starting the design process. These spaces should follow a path, which connects the other activities of the mall. Parking This is a make-or-break design point for a shopping centre. Global standards show that parking space is generally allotted on the ground or on the higher number of floors, be it a superstore, a discount store, a mall or a FEC. A perfect example in this context would be the parking space allotted for Warner Village (parking on higher floors) in the UK, or the one for Wal-Marts (parking on ground floor) in the US.
Design is the differentiator
The need of large lobbies and circulation spaces such as atrium and lounges in shopping malls has increased the loading of gross leasable area over the super built-up area. Mall developers in India have been traditionally charging 25-30 percent as a loading factor on usable area.
Parking is designed considering the flow of traffic during peak hours. Developers in India, however, seem to be averse to creating parking space at ground level. This can again be attributed to the large ground area required, and the implied increase in real estate cost. Parking in Indian malls is generally allotted in the basement. As per municipal regulations, one car per 1,000 sq.ft of area is sufficient, while the global norms denote at least one car per 250 sq.ft of area. Indian developers are now learning that adequate parking is a critical component of the shopping experience, and that adequate parking space needs to be given to shoppers free of charge. Ratio of Super Built-Up to Carpet Area The need of large lobbies and circulation spaces such as atrium and lounges in shopping malls has increased the loading of gross leasable area over the super built-up area. Mall developers in India have been traditionally charging 2530 percent as a loading factor on usable area. This is because the sanctioning authorities in India include the area consumed by lobbies, lounges and atriums in the calculation of total Floor Space Index (FSI). However, global standards suggest that five to 10 percent of the total built-up area be allowed free of FSI for such areas in the shopping centre design
Parking woes
retail formats, such as high-end boutiques or jewellery stores, fashion outlets, supermarkets, stores for white goods, electronics, entertainment etc., all have segregated occupiers. Such segregation of spaces is currently observable in a few upcoming retail formats in India. However, the flow and location of different spaces need to be viewed in the context of customer shopping and entertainment patterns. Food courts should be strategically located in a manner that avoids noise but boosts visibility. The obvious intention behind such design strategy is to increase the number of footfalls (which in turn may increase the number of conversions) in a shopping centre. Clear demarcation of spaces also acts as a guide for a customer while strolling inside the store. Anchor Spaces Mall designers in India understand the importance of anchor spaces. These are very evident in every shopping centre. Such anchor spaces are occupied by large retailers and act as a

. Other Spaces Retailers use the volume of space available to them as a medium of interaction with the end-users or customers. Most retailers (globally) love spaces with floor-to-floor height of about 16-20 feet. However, Indian developers, until recently, have been using a standard height of 14 feet. This has resulted in a lot of heartburn among the country's retailers. Retailers now demand more columnfree spaces for the optimal utilisation of leased area, and more height for the appreciation of spaces within the store. Circulation In the context of shopping centres, circulation is the ability of the space to conveniently accommodate movement of people around the mall both horizontally as well as vertically. All the spaces in the store should be designed in such a manner that a harmony, relationship and movement of traffic between all the different areas are maintained. Interiors and Ambience From the point of view of retailers, well-lit (either artificially or naturally) lobbies, atriums and store spaces as well as elegant and good flooring are of utmost importance to attract customers. Lighting and interiors should be in line with the themes and subsections of the overall shopping centre. For example, spaces for movie auditoria can have a darker interior and coloured lights that focus on displays, while the sections for catering and children's stores should have more lively interiors. Wherever
75
possible, natural light through glass or canvas can be used. Hoardings and Signages Hoardings of advertisements (one of the revenue sources for mall developers) and signages are design elements for shopping centres; and hence proper care should be taken in placing these at appropriate places. This should be considered as a part of the overall design process. Retail formats of the pre-1990s severely lacked these essentials. Faade Treatment Most Indian malls have a modern look with glass and aluco-bond faade treatments. In an attempt to create an international image, the architectural vocabulary of today's Indian malls denotes heavy Western influence. However, these spectacular faades have tempted mall developers to load its cost on to the retailer. The question that arises at this juncture is is it applicable to have such fascinating and expensive treatments for faades in shopping centres? It of course depends entirely on the design concept perceived by the designer. Probably, designers feel that to create an inside-out image (which is in vogue at present) glass and aluminium are most suitable. After understanding these design elements, should we then ape the West in the creation of shopping centres for our country? We suggest that global standards be adopted for the creation of large spaces in the local context of shopping, eating and other habits of Indian consumers. A retail space is no longer a store it is a stage. It is an environment that tells a story, creates an image and sets a mood. Hence, the proper utilisation of design elements will definitely make a difference in creating

ndia's retail sector is burgeoning and presents an exciting opportunity for retailers and for consumers alike. Consumers are witnessing an increase in modern trade formats, especially in the number of malls which offer convenience, atmosphere and ambience. Shopping malls entered the Indian retail market in the latter half of the 1990s. Compared to less than 30 operational malls in 2003, IMAGES F&R Research estimates that with over 600 malls being built, retail space will exceed 40 million square feet with an average size of 1,000 square feet per brand.

It is important to understand the issue of design differentiation from three perspectives:

n
Over 60 percent of visitors enter malls to watch a movie (ie., visit a multiplex) or to eat (ie., visit a food court) Only about 30 percent enter a mall to shop!
India will soon have over 50,000 retail outlets. However, with approximately 300 national brands available currently, most of these malls will have a very similar tenant mix, with the same brands available across almost all shopping centres. Given that malls may offer the similar stores, not to mention a parallel high end 'look and feel', it is even more important to ensure a differentiated shopping experience to consumers that can set one mall apart from another.
With the proliferation of malls, it will become imperative, from the perspective of the real estate developer and anchor and tenant stores, to differentiate themselves from other malls that may be located just a few kilometres away. Developers and tenants need to work together to develop strategies for incorporating marketing strategies, promotions and customer segmentation tactics to drive footfalls, increase expenditure per footfall and further differentiate themselves with shoppers.
A DIFFERENTIATED SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

One way to offer a distinct shopping experience is to offer stores that fall under a specialty category such as gold and jewellery, luxury products, home goods and dcor, home improvement, etc. Indeed some malls are being built or are already built which are already present in these categories. Some potential categories that real estate developers are considering for specialty malls focus on children, women and consumer durables. Malls that are differentiated in terms of their offerings appeal to customers' specific needs and provide an outlet for dispensing against those needs! Specialty malls also tend to attract footfalls that are more likely to spend on purchases than regular footfalls, which are present in traditional malls. Consumers who come to specialty malls do so with a specific purpose and goal in mind; consumers that enter traditional malls may be doing so to

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
ndia's commercial real estate stock is estimated to be the fourth largest in Asia, following Japan, China and South Korea. However, this still represents a small fraction of the global commercial real estate stock, which totals roughly US$19 trillion (INR 781,000 billion/arawb). Getting accurate and reliable data on overall real estate investments, especially in the emerging markets like India, is quite a difficult task and most studies are based on broad estimations of the total size and investment potential. In India, even the institutional real estate market is just started

showing up. The investible stock in India amounts to only about 27 percent of the total stock that can be classified as investment grade. In contrast, China's investible stock is 35 percent of its total investment grade stock and that of Japan's is 65 percent. With the Indian economy growing strongly, the demand for office, retail and logistics space is simultaneously set to expand significantly in the next few years. It is estimated that this growing demand would effect an increase in India's investible real estate stock by US$18 billion (INR 64,056 crore) by year 2010. Even this is still a conservative estimate as it can be expected that with the maturing real estate market, even greater institutional investment activities will result. The following are the most important sources of financing the real estate market in India:

the next few years, despite the RBI's attempts at decelerating credit growth with a view to curbing inflation.
PRIVATE EQUITY
Private investors also play an important role in the Indian real estate investment market. At the end of 2005 private equity accounted for about 40 percent of the country's real estate capital market. This market segment is rapidly growing as is evident from the fact that in 2005 private property companies and individuals' holdings of real estate grew by 40 percent over the previous year. The Indian pension fund system is still poorly developed, and as such its exposure to real estate is still limited. Regulation mandates that at least 60 percent of asset allocation is in government securities or other approved
PRIVATE DEBT
Private debt is the most important source of financing real estate in India. It accounts for nearly 60 percent of all institutional real estate investments. Strong demand for commercial real estate lending in the last three years was boosted by steeply falling interest rates, a vibrant real estate investment market and a rise in corporate outsourcing activity. Statistics available for the past five years indicate that bank loans for commercial real estate increased by more than 500 percent during 2001 to 2006. This number is poised to grow further in
securities. In the private equity category, pension fund counts as the second largest investor, but its exposure to the real estate sector is still very limited. Changes in the pension funds' asset allocation strategy will largely be driven by changes in regulation, but till such time, pension funds will continue to keep their large positions in government bonds and other approved (and more 'secure') instruments. This holds good for insurance companies as well, as they still regard real estate investment as risky. Regulation for insurance companies' investment strategies also remains restrictive, explaining their small exposure to real estate. No major change in this can be expected in the near future unless the regulatory bodies decide to ease the policy prescriptions.
With the Indian economy growing strongly, the demand for office, retail and logistics space is simultaneously set to expand significantly in the next few years. It is estimated that this growing demand would effect an increase in India's investible real estate stock by US$18 billion (INR 64,056 crore) by year 2010.

The Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI) approved the formation Real Estate Funds (REF) in 2005. This has facilitated the formation of real estate mutual funds, which are expected to get operational in 2007. This will herald a new era abd avenue of real estate investments for the common retail investors. At present, REFs are only open to high net-worth individuals (HNIs), institutional investors and global investors.
PUBLIC DEBT
The public debt market, which here only comprises outstanding corporate bonds and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS), is in the very early stages of its development in India. In the last few years there have been no CMBS issuances in the Indian market, implying that this market is dominated by Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS). These have indeed played an important role in Indian securitisation in the past six years, particularly because of the fast growing residential sector and low cost of financing.
PUBLIC EQUITY
Neither Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) nor Real Estate Mutual Funds (REMFs) exist in India, implying that the real estate public markets are still limited. The only way to invest in real estate in the public market is through listed property companies, but there are only a handful of these currently. Need For Real Estate Investment Mutual Funds It is expected that REITs will be introduced in India this year. The demand for REF is strong, as numerous private investors have already burned their fingers by putting their money in the wrong properties. It is not possible for individual investors to verify all technical aspects of property and at times they also have to take recourse to bank loans to meet the complete cost of a unit. The sudden upswing in bank interest rates in 2007 has compelled many such investors to sell off their holding at a loss. With the coming of real estate mutual funds these private investors will get a safe avenue for investing their surplus savings. This could well be the catalyst for the future development of Real Estate Investment Mutual Funds, much on the lines of what we see in the United States of America, where REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) own most properties in the retail, commercial and residential domains. The creation of REITs will undoubtedly improve transparency and liquidity on the real estate capital market. In India, the introduction of Indian REITs and/or REMF in 2007 might provide investors with a comfort zone to reduce the transparency and liquidity risks. This will also provide a wider range of choices for investors to engage in real estate investment considering the current limitation of the public property sectors.
alternatives, commercial bank lending seems to be the most efficient way of raising capital in India. But both the private equity and private debt markets are also set to grow significantly over the coming years, profiting from further project developments and more foreign direct investment. In contrast, the public markets are set to remain relatively small over the next years, until the private markets increase in scale and the broader capital markets undergo significant development.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS IN INDIA

An active domestic commercial real estate investment market has gradually emerged since the turn of this century, in response to growing demand for modern commercial space. The investment market has grown rapidly, especially since 2005, due to perceptions of strong market fundamentals with good longterm growth prospects, the emergence of specialist real estate vehicles and the participation of foreign investors. India now faces the prospect of cross-border real estate investors, with both domestic and global capital seeking real estate investment opportunities here.

SEC III CHAPTER 1
As discussed, the current investment market includes active participation from domestic real estate funds, institutions, high net-worth individuals (HNIs) and local developers. Domestic debt remains a strong financing option, primarily in the form of construction finance as well as lease rental discounting. Crossborder investment activity is currently dominated by players Singapore and other Asian countries, and also by the US opportunity funds. A good number of European players are also now looking at options to enter the Indian real estate market.
Domestic Participants
The domestic equity route comprises four main groups -dedicated real estate funds, institutional funds, high net worth individuals and developers: Dedicated Real Estate Funds: The last two years have seen the mobilisation of investible funds by several dedicated real estate funds, such as Anand Rathi Real Estate Opportunities Fund, Dewan Housing Realty Fund, Kshitij Fund, TCGRE, Reliance Private Equity, etc. Historically, their focus has been on India's tier-I cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata), but such funds are now increasingly seeking out opportunities in tierII cities, such as Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and the like. Institutional Funds: Major financial institutions such as ICICI, HDFC, IL&FS and Kotak Mahindra have all launched real estate funds, either as joint ventures or sole investors. Most institutional funds operate on a pan-Indian basis, and are increasingly looking at opportunities in tier-III cities, in order to gain the 'first mover advantage'. High Net-Worth Individuals: India has a large community of high net-worth individuals (HNIs) and family-run businesses, which have substantial funds to invest in real estate. Significant

investment interest has also been witnessed from the cash surplus non-resident Indians (NRIs), primarily from the USA. HNIs are increasing their presence in residential, commercial and retail space. In most cases they invest directly into real estate assets. Domestic Developers: Domestic real estate development companies have increasingly participated in land auctions and have invested in buying land for development purposes. Most of these companies participate with an equity partner/institutional fund when bidding for land parcels. Some development companies are now looking at a listing in the stock exchange as a means of securing additional equity capital to fund their ambitious growth plans.
Global Participants
There are a number of cross-border investors active in the market. Their entry has largely been through the development route or venture capital funds, and their focus so far has been on IT parks and residential townships. Foreign Developers: Developers from Singapore, such as Ascendas, GIC, Keppel Land, Capita Land and Lee Kim Tah Holdings are the most active group. Ascendas, one of Asia's
81
SEC III CHAPTER 1
leading business space providers has been active in India since 1999, and owns IT parks in Bangalore and Hyderabad, and is building IT parks in both Chennai and Kolkata. Ascendas launched a US $350 million (INR 1,440 crore) India IT Parks Fund in 2005, with GE Capital subscribing US $63 million (INR 260 crore). Most Asian development companies have focused on tier-I cities, primarily in residential and commercial assets. Other Asian developers include Emaar (based in Dubai), which is developing integrated townships in India's tier-I and II cities. In January 2006, it announced a US $4 billion (INR 16,450 crore) joint venture with MGF Land (Emaar MGF), representing India's largest real estate FDI. Real Estate Funds: Real estate funds, including private equity funds as well as dedicated real estate
funds, are increasingly becoming the preferred entry route for cross-border investors, particularly amongst US investors. Tishman Speyer, Vornado Realty, GE Capital, Warburg Pincus, Citibank, Apollo Real Estate and Morgan Stanley are all active, mostly through JV real estate funds.

TRENDS IN INDIAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT

Several global and local factors have converged since 2005 to culminate in the unprecedented interest in Indian real estate by global and domestic investment funds. But it has taken almost ten years for the Indian real estate market to evolve to its present stage, after having completed a full cycle. Ever since the correction of the late 1990s, the real estate market has emerged from its phase of consolidation; and since the early 2000s it has been on a growth and expansion phase. In the years of resurgence, the transformation of the Indian real estate sector has been driven by consistent growth of the economy and business, growing incomes and aspirations as well as enthusiastic supply response. The scale of transformation achieved till now has not been insignificant considering that a few years back the sector was insulated from foreign investment.
Trends in Real Estate Investment

The opening up of investment into real estate markets has meant that real estate project financing can come from various routes including mezzanine financing, private equity investment, private placement with institutions/HNIs, funding through capital market route either on Indian bourses or internationally (AIM listings) and external commercial borrowings (ECB) in case of integrated townships. Debt funding has also turned a corner by being far more accessible for developers. Along the way, domestic banks and financial institutions also altered their view on exposure to the real estate development sector with funding institutions taking exposure to real estate development and construction projects in a big way. Moreover, the last couple of years have been a sort of 'golden age' for real estate and construction companies listed on the major stock exchanges. The need for developers to continually expand in a competitive environment and acquire land tracts for achieving bigger size, meant recourse to large fund corpus at competitive rates. This led more and more unlisted real estate companies to consider seeking recourse to the capital markets through the initial public offer (IPO) or rights issues. According to press reports in 2006, real estate IPOs were the second

SEC III CHAPTER 1
largest mobiliser of funds from the stock markets (INR 3,993 crore) second only to energy companies. Apart from seeking recourse by listing on Indian stock exchanges, real estate companies have found an alternative funding route in the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange. Listing on AIM gives companies access to liquid global funds at close to international lending rates, flexibility of listing companies abroad and achieving an international profiling. Though the number of Indian real estate companies listing on AIM is a handful as of now, it is by no means insignificant. In fact in future, this is expected to be an important source of funds for Indian development companies and real estate funds.
limiting repatriation clauses. The lukewarm response to the 2002 FDI policy did not go unnoticed by the policy makers and after considerable deliberations with the Industry, a far more liberalised real estate FDI policy was unveiled in February 2005. Through the second FDI policy the government decided to allow foreign investment up to 100 per cent under the automatic route in townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction/development projects. This policy significantly reduced the threshold norms of minimum area to be developed under each project to 10 hectares in case of serviced housing plots or 4,50,000 sq.ft in case of construction-development projects. This new policy significantly liberalised foreign investments in the real estate sector in India, as a result of which we find high activity in real estate sector leading to high appreciation in real estate costs across the urban centres. Foreign real estate funds and developers were quick to respond to the new opportunity in the Indian real estate arena.
Policy Enablers
On the policy front, the government has initiated several reforms in the real estate sector. For opening the door for the foreign investments, the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Real Estate policy draft was announced in 2002, which would permit FDI up to 100 per cent for development of integrated townships, including housing, commercial premises, hotels, resorts, city and regional level urban infrastructure. This policy sought to attract foreign direct investment into integrated townships with the basic threshold of investment set at a minimum of 100 acres. Although the policy was a bold step considering the time when it was announced, the policy turned out to be quite restrictive given the high super threshold of investment, the stringent delivery norms and the

It is possible to further classify a subset of all the abovementioned funds as 'active', which could include funds that have operations on ground in India and are actively sourcing investment transactions. It is estimated that anywhere between 50-60 percent of the total number of funds stated previously can be segmented in this category Based on available data from primary and secondary sources, on a ballpark basis, the indicative average corpus per fund ranges between US$250-300 million (INR 1,000-1,250 crore).

The real estate funds are not just restricted to the traditional large metropolitan cities, when it comes to sourcing investment opportunities. Despite the fact that these funds have been on ground for just over an year, there are instances of real estate funds seeking opportunities even in smaller metro cities and towns (classified as tier-II and III), which is indicative of the availability of opportunities in smaller towns and the flexibility of funds to consider the same

It is largely felt that there is a definite scarcity of ready 'investment grade' product as of now, as a result of which real estate funds have had to devote longer time in screening and evaluation of deals. Unrealistic valuation expectations, regulatory hurdles, lack of clarity in land titles, developer's credibility and transparency issues are the main concerns that continue to create bottlenecks that lead to distortions in the deal making process.

Legal & Regulatory Aspects Relating To Real Estate Market

The real estate market in India is still at an infancy level, characterised by a large number of small players. The last few years saw the emergence of big players and the entry of corporate houses in the real estate domain. In most of the states of India, development authorities control supply of urban land. This sector is still in the grip of certain restrictive legislations thus limiting investment and proper organization of the sector.
88
SEC III CHAPTER 1
The laws governing real estate in India are over a century old. Though quite a few of these regulations form the basis of laws and necessary amendments are happening in the space, still the current legislative framework is in need of a major overhaul to make the laws and regulations more relevant to present day requirements. A number of Central and State laws govern the real estate sector in India. The more prominent of these are listed below:

Recently, a number of Acts have been enacted with certain provisions or definitions bringing real estate within its purview such The Consumer Protection Act, 1986, and The Environment Protection Act, 1986. Again, certain amendments in existing laws or repeal of Acts have also brought about certain relaxations and boosted the growth of the sector. An example that can be cited in this case is that of The Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999. But quite a few state governments are yet to adopted the The Urban Land Repeal Act, such as Andhra Pradesh in South India. The real estate sector is also faced with other issues such as taxes, monopoly of urban land, titles and records of evidence, land reforms, municipal laws and zoning laws that impediment growth. Lengthy compliance procedures and non-transparent transactions too have hindered prospects. The sector is in currently in need of redressal of issues relating to various aspects be it legislative or policy reforms.

ANCHORS IN MALLS
BY ANSHUMAN MAGAZINE > Managing Director, CB Richard Ellis South Asia
ndia has experienced a rapid rise in organised retail in the last 10 years, evolving from a country with neighbourhood (kirana) stores to having its metros dotted with glitzy showcase 'Malls'. From a time in early 1990s when a 15,000 sq.ft store left many skeptical about its survival to a time when a million square feet mall with several large stores draws merely a passing look, India has come a long way. Driven by changing lifestyles, strong income growth, improved quality consciousness and favourable demographic patterns, Indian retail is expanding at a rapid pace, leading foreign and domestic retail brands to expand/register their presence in India. For these retailers/brands the fastest way to list their presence in the consumer mind is to be in a 'mall', in a big way.

HOW ARE ANCHORS SELECTED?

Many of these retailers/brands have arrived in India or have expanded their footprint as anchor presence in various malls. In most malls, these anchors are the drivers of foot fall and act as magnets for consumers to come and other stores to locate in the mall. How are anchors selected? Is it a self-selection process by the retailers/brands or is it a result of the desire of mall developers to position their asset, or is it the presence of target consumers? It is in reality a combination of choices made by the retailers, the developers and the consumers. In many instances, multi-brand retail companies enter into strategic tie ups with developers who roll out a long term plan to develop malls in various cities. In each of these future malls, a brand(s) of these companies will act as anchor(s). In general, such tie ups occur between large developers with pan-India presence and large companies with multi-brand presence in the retail segment. On other occasions, a mall developer may desire to position an asset towards a particular tenant mix. The selection of an anchor tenant(s) for such an asset will be in accordance to the desired positioning and the presence of a target catchments population. In such cases we may witness a particular brand/store as an anchor or a bevy of brands belonging to the same stable acting as anchors. In other instances, an anchor may wish to be present in a mall by virtue of its location and the catchments area.
most cases anchors occupy between 40 and 60 percent of the space in a mall. In physical configuration, typically anchor tenants (if there is more than one in a mall) are located as far as possible from one another to maximise the amount of traffic from one to another, benefiting the smaller tenants.
TYPE OF ANCHORS
India has come a long way in its retail journey, and so has the nature of anchors in its malls. A decade ago, one would never have imagined a hotel or an F&B chain to act as an anchor in a retail development. These days, a hypermarket, a department store, a lifestyle store, a hotel, a multiplex, a food court, a family entertainment centre, and a health club can independently or together act as anchors. However, the concept of an anchor is still evolving in India. We are yet to see an IKEA, or a Carrefour. But we are not far behind.
CONCLUSION
Emerging markets are attracting major brands from across the world and India, being a leader, is not immune to the phenomenon. Retailers in India are most aggressive in Asia in expanding their businesses. Their preferred means of expansion is to increase the number of outlets in a city, and also expand to other regions. As India ties itself inextricably to the global market, the forms and formats of global retail are likely to make their imprint on India in the future. Moreover, with the expected opening up FDI in multi-brand retailing, the interest of foreign retailers would be more focused on India. The franchise and cash and carry route would give way to direct participation by retailers increasing the nature and scope of future anchors. Future malls would be larger, with more anchor tenants, which will mean that less and less malls would cater to niche segments. Malls would be catering to the general population and less at targeted clients. We would expect to see more 'Power Centres', 'Regional Destination Malls' and 'Discount Malls' in the future, replicating the western format. Would our children be able to shop in a Plaza with an IKEA, a CostCo, a Wal-Mart Super Mart and hundreds of other smaller stores in 2020? Maybe
95
THE PROCESS
Typically, an anchor enters as a tenant at a design board stage and consequently receives a number of discounts from the mall developer. An anchor typically pays 30-50 percent discounted rentals, receives higher floor efficiency than other smaller tenants, enjoys landlord improvements (viz., improved interiors, escalators within the store, dedicated service elevators, commercial signage, and special area for advertisements and promotions). More often, as an anchor, it drives the design of the mall and in

CASE STUDY: THE MULTIPLEX STORY
or once, the business of entertainment retail and the entrepreneurial skills behind Indian showbiz has become just as exciting as thriller movie plots and onscreen histrionic talents. There are as many mushrooming multiplexes as there are malls and more are joining the brigade with old-style single-screen theatres being converted into three and four-screen cineplexes by big movie exhibition retail chains. What's more, the retail boom has even managed to affect the movie-making industry by engendering a whole new breed of 'multiplex cinemas' that urban Indian audiences are lapping up.

there has been a growth in almost all segments of leisure and entertainment. According to IMAGES F&R Research estimates based on CSO National Accounts Statistics 2006 (Statement14), consumer spend on leisure and entertainment grew 24.2 percent in 2004-05 over the previous financial year spend of Rs.29,360 crore. The total entertainment retail market in India is currently estimated at Rs.35,000 crore, out of which the share of the organised segment is just about four percent at Rs.1,450 crore. Currently this organised segment has seen a growth of 14.3 per cent over last year, with a year-on-year growth of over 44 per cent in the last two years. That movies are the biggest entertainment avenue for India's billions is a no-brainer. And that the best development to have happened to the Indian entertainment business in years has been the growth of multiplexes is also a known fact. But having said that it also remains a fact that in India, there are only 12 screens per 10 lakh population compared to 117 screens per 10 lakh in the US and more than 40 screens for European nations. The multiplex business is clearly a fledgling industry at the moment with huge potential. With the increasing acceptance of organised retailing in urban India, there has been a growing demand for quality retail space from large F&G retailers, fashion apparel chains as well as from multiplex operators. As a result, multiplex growth in the country has been proportional to mall growth. According to IMAGES F&R Research, currently India has about 200 operational malls, which is expected to rise to 600 by 2010-11. Within the next three years, therefore, the number of movie exhibition screens, seats and audience capacity are also expected to grow simultaneously.

The Indian entertainment industry is further expected to grow to more than Rs.58,800 crore by 2010. The multiplex industry, for its part, is expected to grow at over 44 percent a year to about Rs.90 crore by 2008, while the Indian film industry (currently worth about Rs.8,000 crore or US$ 2 billion) is expected to grow to Rs.17,400 crore (US$4.3 billion) by 2011. The Indian film industry continues to be the largest in the world in terms of the number of films produced. The encouraging growth in the number of multiplexes has also enabled moviegoers, especially in urban India, to add a new dimension to their movie viewing experience. However, the overall number of screens in the country remained approximately the same since multiplexes have only managed to compensate for the closure of several single screen theatres across the country.

But what is interesting to note at this stage is that even though multiplex space supply is almost at par with retail space supply, the cinema exhibition business is only about a fifth of the total retail business in India. This is an indicator of the fact that either multiplexes at present are in excess of the expected market size, or that multiplex business needs to explore virgin territories other than that of the over-supplied metros.

Adlabs Cinemas Adlabs Cinemas, owned by the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG), was launched in 2000 with the opening of the world's largest IMAX dome theatre and a four-screen multiplex in Wadala, Mumbai. Adlabs operated four multiplexes (three in Mumbai and one in Nasik), with a total of 12 screens and an audience capacity is 4,385 seats in 2005-06. Revenues stood at Rs.34 crore in the last fiscal, with an average transaction value of Rs.130. Today Adlabs Cinemas operates approximately 80 screens across India. The company is currently on a massive tie-up operation with multiplexes and single-screen cinema halls, as well as greenfield sites across the country, especially in Gujarat. Currently some 350-odd acquisitions, long term leases and management contracts (with single-screen theatres) have been targeted in the first phase of expansions. Most of these new alliances are in tier-II cities like Indore, Meerut, Allahabad and Belgaum. Around 700 movie halls will be targeted over the next few years, most of which will be converted either into multiplexes or into prime single-screen destinations like the company's Metro Adlabs in Mumbai. What started with the Mehul Theatre in Jamnagar, Gujarat (an Anil Ambani stronghold), which was
converted into a three-screen multiplex, will now spread across India's fast growing, prosperous small towns. Adlabs plans to come up with an investment of about Rs.100 crore in Chhattisgarh, for instance, to develop four-screen multiplexes at Raipur, Bhilai, Bilaspur, Korba, Raigarh, Ambikapur and Rajnandgaon. ADAG's ultimate grand plan is to utilise Reliance Infocomm's existing fibre optic network to digitally screen movies from a central location across Adlabs Cinemas' vast movie hall network.

Pyramid Saimira Theatre Ltd Pyramid Saimira Theatre Ltd (PSTL) is a movie theatre chain with a presence in malls, multiplexes and standalone theatres. PSTL has been acquiring theatres on long-term lease or on ownership basis. The operations of the company are centred in South India, with a retail presence in cities like Chennai, Madurai, Salem and Tirunelveli. The chain currently operates 325. The company plans to tie-up with 120 single-screen theatres in metros and 235 theatres in tier-II and III cities. PSTL has already tied-up with existing movie halls and malls in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan, for conversion into digital-friendly theatre formats. Unlike Reliance, PSTL is involved in setting up an integrated Network Operating Center (NOC) which will convert 35 mm films into digital or d-cinema, and transmit these films via a satellite medium to various theatres across India in a secured encryption mode.
The company eventually plans to create a franchisee model for theatres in tier-II and III locations, where existing theatre owners will manage the theatres under PSTL's branding, with a minimum assured quality. PSTL will manage the entire content, without any fixed cost exposure. By 2012, PSTL plans to operate 2,000 screens in India.

because in the same ratio the distributor's shares go up (probably the producer's too). Worldwide digital cinema is considered to be the next big thing in the entertainment revolution. Currently this format is at an evolutionary stage, and once it stabilises, the digital cinema distribution may be expected to be on the way forward. It offers several benefits to the producers and exhibitors such as control over piracy, the biggest threat to the entertainment industry. It also offers ease of software distribution by providing digital content to any part of the country through satellite or otherwise. technology. The d-cinema system uses a 'store-andforward' model to distribute cinema that has been digitised, compressed, encrypted and delivered to theatres using either physical media distribution or through electronic transmission methods (such as satellite or fibre-optic cables).

The number of screens around the world capable of digitally projecting movies is more than 4,000 at present; and according to industry forecasts, there will be more than 17,000 d-cinema screens in the world by 2010. Right now North America is the leading region for dcinema screens, followed by Asia and Europe. Some of the major advantages of d-cinema over 35 mm prints include: Elimination of print costs and hence, widespread release of all movies at no extra cost End-to-end protection of content against all forms of piracy with encryption technology Good AV quality at every run of the movie It is felt that digital cinema is very probably the panacea for all the ills faced by the film industry, such as low revenues, piracy, logistics, picture and sound quality. In India, however, movie exhibition companies have begun their own Made-in-India experiments. E-City Entertainment, for instance, uses a model that combines the use of the 35 mm prints as well as digital programming. The E-City digital business model takes theatres on lease or revenue sharing. The company is also into a commission structure or service fee structure for theatre owners, and eventually leads to retrofitting which is where value addition takes place for theatre owners. The cinema exhibition company has targeted centres with collections greater than Rs.1 lakh/week on an average. And later when these single screen theatres are converted into a three-screen multiplex, the average collection per month raises from the current Rs.4 lakh to Rs.12 lakh. This actually delivers value to the distributor,

RETAIL BOOM TRANSFORMING ENTERTAINMENT

A recent ACNielsen study conducted to analyse the entertainment consumption pattern in India showed that multiplexes are clearly a SEC A hub, with a high student patronage. The study also revealed that 60 percent of mall (and multiplex) visitors owned plastic money, while 81 percent visited malls to watch movies. Other industry studies have also shown that malls and multiplexes are mutually beneficial to each other. While the average Indian consumer's movie mania, coupled with star visits and movie campaigns benefit malls with footfalls, brand promotion campaigns at malls, food court and supermarket retailers also attract footfalls that ensure quality viewer back-up for the anchor multiplex in a mall. Mall management is critical for the success of mall multiplexes since most multiplexes are located on the top-most floor; and a mall consumer's retail experience starts at arrival. While standalone multiplexes are more in control of their audience's experience, on the other hand additional facilities and services at malls entice customers to visit multiplexes. Does this spell death for single screens? It is true that mall

Many in the industry feel that small towns with their share of box office collections will soon drive the film exhibition space. Currently about 65 percent of total box office collections in India come from tier-II and III centres, with indications that this figure will soon rise to as high as 70 percent by 2012. Transforming Creativity The rise in multiplexes has also provided a fillip to low budget and experimental films now termed as 'multiplex' films that are released in these smaller sized auditoriums and have their own niche audiences among India's urban movie-goers. So much so that the new 'multiplex' form of the movie business has changed movie scripts, production, budgets, distribution practices and film promos too. Independent and experimental filmmakers agree that their kind of cinema would never have had a chance of being screened at the larger, 1,000-seater single-screens of yore. But for multiplexes with their higher-priced tickets and smaller capacities, movies like Mr and Mrs Iyer, Bheja Fry, Life in a Metro, etc. would never have seen the light of day ten years ago. Multiplexes help ensure a faster ROI for producers, besides the larger choices and quick turnarounds have also helped in an increased film output.
multiplexes score over standalone entities, because of their food courts, multi-cuisine restaurants, quick-buy counters and gaming zones that provide quality family entertainment. Moreover, once digitisation becomes the industry norm, exhibitors will have to shift to modern exhibition formats. But for the moment it would do the industry good to keep in mind the fact that multiplexes constitute just about one percent of the country's total number of cinema halls, and four to five percent of the total screen space. Industry experts believe that the multiplex industry in India is currently at an inflection point. Movie watching is the most popular entertainment option for Indians and India boasts of the largest film industry in the world. Yet, out of 12,000 screens in India, only 300-odd are currently operated by multiplexes. Government encouragement to multiplex operators in the form of entertainment tax exemption has also given a fillip to the multiplex industry. Keeping all these in mind, the multiplex market may be expected to continue to grow rapidly in India, with multiplex screens growing to around 2,000 screens in the next five years. Moving into Tier-II Locations Having begun to experience over-supply in urban areas, cinema exhibition companies are beginning to venture beyond metros into tier-II and III cities and towns, such as Lucknow, Indore, Nasik, Aurangabad, Kanpur and Amritsar to name a few. Major multiplex players like PVR Cinemas, Adlabs Cinemas, Inox Leisures, Shringar Cinemas, Fun Multiplex and Pyramid Saimira have arrived at small towns like Darjeeling, Pimpri, Latur, Agra and Visakhapatnam. Given that India's small towns

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
The modern cinema exhibition business is an infrastructure business and requires huge investments. Apart from real estate costs and taxes, high-end cinema screening equipment are not manufactured in India. What is, therefore, required is a reduction in customs duty and a tax holiday, especially for the digital cinema industry, along the same lines granted to the multiplex industry. Although this year's Budget brought down the duty on digital cinema equipment, the levying of additional customs duty and countervailing duty has almost nullified the impact. Ticket Pricing In small towns too the retail boom has been driving the multiplex industry. Across India multiplexes occupy the top floor of malls as the anchor tenant, ensuring footfalls. But the similarity stops there, since multiplexes are forced by the

economic profiles of such locations to cut costs in the form of no-frills exhibition spaces, and of course lower ticket prices too PVR Talkies being a case in point. Not only tickets, but F&B costs are also lower in small town India. While the F&B costs in metros fetch 20-25 percent of the revenue, it is 15-20 percent in non-metros. Since F&B margins of multiplex operators are as high as 60-65 percent, lower revenues from that segment delays the business from breaking even in tier-II and III towns and cities. Location, location, location There is a clear indication, as mentioned earlier, of an oversupply of multiplexes in metropilitan centres. Gurgaon's famed 'Mall Mile' being just such a case in point. Multiplexes are largely a weekend-driven business and excess capacities could mean cannibalisation within the industry, leading to as low as 30 percent occupancy at multiplex auditoria. There is a need to venture into smaller markets therefore; and
the industry needs to look at locations beyond the top 20-30 cities. There is potential to locate multiplexes in about 700 locations in India at present, with an unfragmented core catchment of about five lakh people. Typically most multiplexes today are located in at high-end spaces. So once rentals go up, CAM charges escalate and the industry's tax holiday comes to an end the business will be forced to do a re-think. Right now, despite mercurial real estate costs, the industry has not really been affected because most multiplex owners have already tied-up with developers for at least the next couple of years; and being anchor tenants, they end up getting special rates too. The important point to keep in focus, however, is that singlescreen theatres remain the choice of the majority in semiurban and rural India. The lower economic segment of urban India too prefers the ticket prices of single-screens to the overpriced multiplex ones.

BUILDING A MALL AS A BRAND

BY PANDRANG ROW > Partner & Chief Brand Communication Officer, Vertebrand Management Consulting
n Field of Dreams, Kevin Costner's character, an impoverished farmer, is pushed by some supernatural force to build a baseball diamond in the middle of his fields. Despite the fact that his farm is in the middle of nowhere, a voice tells him, Build it and they will come. At the end of the movie we see a long queue of cars approaching the field. Most mall builders today seem to have that same somewhat untenable belief, Build it and they will come. The scenario is predictable: a builder finds a nice plot of land near a good neighborhood, a college or some 'electronic city' and assumes that the location is perfect for a mall. The conviction is based almost entirely on gut feel and a vague idea that there are lots of youngsters from colleges/BPOs/IT companies in the area who are

So all around your mall are five others all of which are all things to all people. And you'll find you've built it, but . . . they're not coming. And there's a reason for that. Your mall is not a brand. BRANDING A MALL Building a mall brand cannot begin after you've found some land and built a swank,

generally 'well-paid' and will therefore have cash to spend. There are certain set architectural patterns for all malls, generally from the USA, so a developer only has to choose one and then the engineering team gets on the job. Then, within a reasonable amount of time a steel and concrete monolith rises. Simultaneously, the developer's marketing team is on the job. So offers are sent for space to the usual suspects: Nike, Levis, Reebok, McDonald's, Subway, Westside, Shoppers Stop, Barista . . . And before long a mall opens. It will have a beautifully decorated foyer in glass and marble, many glittering stores, with the smells of various delicious foods floating through the air. It will be a mall that's all things to all people, so it can be expected to pull in the crowds and generate revenues for all the mall's tenants. Unfortunately, there are five builders all of whom have had the same idea and have bought property in the vicinity. So there are five malls clustered around a small locality. All the malls have the same or similar brands one may have Reebok, the other Nike all the malls have a food court.

steel, concrete and glass structure. It must begin well before that. To begin with you must accept one immutable fact: a mall is not a building it is a product. And a product will never be accepted or purchased by a customer regularly unless and until it's a brand. What is a brand? It's the most valuable piece of real estate in the world: a part of your consumer's mind. To amplify on that: a brand is that portion of a person's mind, which justifies using a product repeatedly, paying a premium for it and attributing to it qualities over and above those of another product in the same category. How Can a Mall Become a Brand? A mall has several qualities that make it different from any other brand. To begin with it is an immovable product, but it is also a highly perishable product. So, if you have no visitors on a day, the day's dead and gone. Further, a mall brand is actually an experience. Every time a consumer walks into the mall her visit reinforces and strengthens the brand and everything about the mall affects that experience; the shops, the ambience, the parking availability, the loudspeaker system, the movies, the food court . . . everything. In short, a mall as a product and a brand is the sum of many, many parts. You may have well-trained personnel manning the enquiry counters and the security at your mall. However, if the sales people in one of the shops in your mall

are less than polite, your entire mall brand gets affected. Everything has to work in a mall the air-conditioning, the food court, the escalators, the elevators, the parking arrangements, the public address system, even the stocking pattern in the stores . . . everything. And a mall brand has to work from day one because the financial clock starts ticking then. To make that happen you must treat it the way you would do any brand.
Do you want a movie theatre in your mall at all? (See the box for the dangers of movie theatres). You might find that a great location for highly prestigious mall brand might not be able to attract any customers for a middlemarket mall brand. In sum, you have to identify your mall brand's value propositions. Identifying Your Mall's Value Propositions There are decisions that need to be taken. Will your mall brand have a functional proposition? Will it be the place to go to for cheaper stuff, more expensive stuff, sports equipment, food or diamonds and gold? Will it possess an emotional value proposition? Will visiting your mall make people feel warmer, happier, more practical, more sensible, more sophisticated or more down-to-earth? Will it have a self-expressive proposition? Will I become a

THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF MOVIE THEATRES A small research conducted by some management students on the behalf of Vertebrand revealed that the average expenditure at premium mall in Bangalore was only Rs.200. This meant that most people came to watch a movie and possibly grab a bite at the food court. A good percentage just came to hang out and only a small percentage actually went and shopped at the expensive stores in the mall. A movie theatre may be a good way to attract crowds to a mall, but it is also a hugely dangerous feature. If you have a movie theatre in your mall, people come to there and occupy your parking area for two or three hours at a time, generating no revenue for your tenants. In fact, they are creating no revenue for the mall beyond the Rs.250 for the movie tickets and the Rs.50 parking fee. Rs.300 for three hours spent at the mall devastating. Further, moviegoers will prevent possible shoppers from coming into your mall. It must be remembered that there is generally no parking in the neighborhoods around a mall and if all your parking is occupied by moviegoers, shoppers the revenue generators will not be able to come even if they wanted to. So the question you need to answer is, should you have a few, high-revenue customers or many low or no-revenue customers?
DESIGNING A MALL BRAND The first step would be to identify your customers and your catchment area. What kind of people do you think the mall should attract? And where are they going to be coming from? Once you've made sure of the catchment area around your mall and identified your target customers, the next step is to design your brand that will attract those customers to your mall in preference to any others. It's all about decisions that can only come from understanding your consumers. Do your preferred customers like large, expansive, impersonal public spaces? Or small, intimate, personalised areas? Are they gourmets? Gourmands? Or greedy? Do they have cars? Motorcycles? Or do they use public transport? Are they the 'Marks & Spencer' type? Or the 'Shoppers' Stop' type? Or the 'Big Bazaar' type? What will they do once they come to the mall? Hang out? Hang out and then watch a movie? Hang out, watch a movie and then go to the food court? Hang out and shop?
106
SECTION III
smarter person, a more discriminating person, a more knowledgeable person or a more sensible person by visiting the mall? These are all decisions that must be taken. In short, you must first design your brand. WHAT COMES NEXT It is only once the brand decisions are made that you should brief your architect, your interior designer and the landscape people. Now the design of the mall will be focused; now the building a product can be designed in a way that is consonant with your brand's values and your customers' aspirations and needs. So, now that you know what kind of target audience you're targeting, you can tell your architect how you want your mall designed. For example you may want a drive-in portico so that a customer can either be dropped off by her chauffeur, or leave her car for valet parking. Alternatively you may want a place where youngsters are comfortable, so you'll have more place for parking two-wheelers. Then, when your customer enters, what will she see? Again, your brand identity dictates that. Should your customers be greeted by wood and plush carpeting? Should they step into an atmosphere of gleaming
107
chrome and glass? Should the dcor include beanbags and balloons? Or should it consist of champagne glasses and leather armchairs? Then, because every experience of the brand will communicate its values, you need to make sure the building is, in turn, populated by brands that communicate the right message by their very existence. You cannot have a Cartier in a mall that's targeting parents with children. You cannot have a McDonald's cheek-and-jowl with Omega, Rolex, Dior and Rolls-Royce . . . not because you physically cannot, but because brand logic goes against the idea. Undoubtedly, once the brand managers see what kind of mall brand you are trying to create, they will be able to decide whether or not they want to be in your mall. And if you've created an appropriate brand which will match the target audience and catchment area of your mall, you won't need to hunt for brands they will instantly see the relevance of being in your mall. Bringing People Into Your Mall With any brand and particularly a mall brand, even if you've been careful to build it to match your target audience and peopled it with stores that bolster the imagery that will appeal
SECTION III
What you would do to attract the crowds would depend on the kind of crowd you plan to attract. One target audience might demand a grand magic show by some high-end magician who makes the entire mall disappear and re-appear. Another group of people might be more entertained by a very sophisticated cocktail party held on the construction site. Yet another class of society might be sophisticated enough to warrant staging a Shakespearean play in the atrium. Another group might only be enthused by a group of VJs from Channel V or MTV while another group might merit a fashion show and so on. Marketing Existing Malls Of course malls that have already been built still require marketing support. And the process is more or less the same.
Cosmos Mall, Bangalore
to your target audience, the 'build it and they will come' philosophy does not work. You still need to publicise the brand. Too often a large hoarding stating that a mall is coming up behind it is thought to be sufficient, when in fact, it is not. If the mall is targeted at a particular target audience, there is obviously a good reason to address that audience with carefully designed marketing activities. When a new casino is being built in Las Vegas where every casino is a brand high-rollers and high-end customers are kept informed throughout the process. They are given sneak previews, they are invited for events when the casino is still a building site, multi-media presentations are handed out and lavish brochures and mailers are created before the casino is even built. This goes on until the point when everybody is dying for an invitation to the exclusive soft launch. Most of all, the casino is hyped as the most lavish, the most extravagant, the most incredible casino in Las Vegas at least until the next one comes up. The idea is the same one every mall owner must have to have a crowd walk n on the first day. Even if it is just to see what the hype was all about. For a mall, pretty much the same process would be ideal. Prelaunch hype followed by an exclusive soft launch to which everybody is dying to be invited and finally the grand launch itself.
Hyderabad Central
First, identify your catchment area and therefore your target audience. Then figure out what kind of value proposition your mall brand can offer them. Finally, publicise that value proposition.
The activities you would use to publicise the value proposition would naturally be quite different. However, the same principles would apply. However it's important to understand that the promotional activities undertaken inside the mall should be calculated to add depth and dimension to the mall brand not merely to the brand advertised. For example, one mall in Bangalore consistently has promotional activities in the atrium. These activities involve loud amplified voices, dancing, consumer contests, bad singing and huge crowds watching on every floor. The question is, does the mall want to be seen as a constant, unrelenting mela? Does the mela help the stores in the same mall to sell product? Has anybody analysed whether these promotional activities actually help the rent-paying tenants of the mall? A good customer retention and management campaign for the mall could be part of its activities. A mall's parking attendants could hand out membership invitations to anybody who uses a bill to defray her parking ticket that way you know you're developing a relationship with a person who has spent a reasonably large sum of money in your mall.

GOOD MANAGEMENT STARTS AT THE TOP

BY ALAN A ALEXANDER > Presient > Alexander Consultants Arizona, USA
here is a lot of discussion in the shopping centre industry as to the duties and obligations of the effective shopping centre manager. However, in order for the manager to be effective, the shopping centre owner has to set the table with a well developed and leased shopping centre, state of the art facilities, clearly stated goals, and clear policies and procedures to provide the proper environment. The management demands of a shopping centre are substantially beyond those of an office building or an apartment complex. These responsibilities are best handled by a professional shopping centre manager; either an experienced staff person or an outside third party consultant with experience in the operation of shopping centres. The less experience the owner has in shopping centre management and/or ownership, the greater the need for an experienced manager. A background in office building or apartment management is not sufficient for a full charge shopping centre manager, especially in the super charged environment of the Indian shopping centre market.

SHOPPING CENTRE CATEGORIES

There is often a question as to the differences between managing a very high-end shopping centre and one that is aimed more at the middle to lower end of the economic spectrum. Generally, day-to day management is the same for both with a few exceptions. High-end centres most often have much higher level of finishes, fewer kiosks, less banners and fewer amusements for children. In the high-end centre the atmosphere is generally very serene, it may have substantial artwork, and a very high level of cleanliness and maintenance. Additionally, restaurants and food operations are more highend and there are more personal services provided. High-end centres will almost always have valet parking, where a middle market centre may or may not offer that service. High-end centres will often have concierge services as do many middle centres, but in the high-end centres they will often provide buying assistance, registration for gifts for weddings and showers, package carryout, tickets to major entertainment events and even in one case, transportation to and from the mall upon request. High-end merchants are quite willing to pay higher rents and service charges, provided they are able to generate sufficient volumes to support those costs. It is incumbent upon the owner to be sure that there are sufficient trained personnel to meet the needs of the shopping centre. Small Centre Organisation The least complicated staffing is generally found in smaller shopping centres. (See Exhibit A) This approach to

management is most often off site, involves multiple smaller centres, and most often operates from the owner's main office. Most often the maintenance, security and marketing functions are handled by contract services. Accounting is most often done in the home office as is lease administration. The manager reports direct to the owner or the asset manager depending on the structure of ownership. The manager, in this case, is responsible for all aspects of the centre's operation and has little staff support for any of his or her activities. This is truly a 'hands on' manager. Mall Organisation A larger property, or mall, will have a full-time on site staff. (See Exhibit B) Generally, everything but leasing will be under the general manager's control. Most often monies will be collected on site, but in some larger companies rents will be sent directly to the home office. The manager will have an experienced staff to take care of the various modules of management, including security, marketing, maintenance and fiscal responsibilities such as reports to owners and lease administration. Multiple Mall Organisation In the ownership of multiple centres we see a slightly more sophisticated management model.

ROLE OF THE MALL MANAGER

The centre owner is obligated to operate the shopping centre in an effective manner and that is accomplished through the manager. The manager will be expected to interface with the owner/developer, lenders, tenants, customers, contractors, city officials, insurance providers and centre personnel. This is no small task as the ability to communicate well with this diverse group of people is difficult and demanding. Value Enhancement The effective manager's main job is Value Enhancement. There are any numbers of ways this can be accomplished. The astute manager will spend a large amount of his or her time visiting with the merchants to see how they are doing and what is working for them and what is not. Along with being fully aware of the tenant's sales figures, this puts the manager in a position to advise the owners of which tenants are doing well, and why, and which ones are not doing well. This will help the owner in making leasing decisions. The manager will negotiate for optimum service contracts and make decisions as to when it is best to use contract services and when it is best to provide the services through an on site staff. This decision can be very critical when it comes to security services as
the liability and the perceptions are critical to the success of the shopping centre. Cost Management The manager will be expected to maintain the property, at all times in first class condition, but at an effective cost. One may argue that these expenses are passed along to the tenants and therefore is not that critical, but the astute tenant is looking at his or her occupancy costs at each location and may well not lease a new store or renew a lease where the expenses are out of line with the competition. Maintenance Each customer coming into the property will expect first class cleanliness and state of repair. The manager will be expected to maintain the property in a safe and secure manner. If there is a perception that the centre has a high level of crime, rowdy teenagers, or that there are an inordinate amount of car thefts or accidents on the property, customers are likely to go elsewhere. Additionally, the manager will constantly inspect the property to be sure that it is receiving the proper maintenance to minimise or avoid major repairs. Accounting The manager will be expected to provide accurate and timely accounting to both the owners and the

tenants. This includes the timely collection of monies owed to the shopping centre. Money has a time value and if collections are allowed to build up, the owner is losing the cash flow and the added value that those funds would represent. Additionally, the manager is not doing any tenant a favour by letting them get behind on the rent and charges. Nothing will destroy confidence in the manager more quickly than inaccurate or late accounting. Owners use the accounting and management reports to make decisions and if they are late or inaccurate, those decisions may be flawed. Marketing The manager will be expected to provide effective and timely marketing programmes, evidenced by growing sales for the centre as a whole. Marketing is one of the more difficult aspects of management to measure and evaluate, but the manager must be aware of the competition, the sales within his or her centre and make a reasoned decision as to the expenditure of marketing dollars. By talking with merchants after each marketing event, the manager should get a good idea as to what is working in that market and what is not and tailoring future programmes in the direction of past successes. Sponsorships are also a great source of income and local merchant support. The manager should be working in the community and contacting potential sponsors for the
centre. Sponsors come in all shapes and sizes. The local automobile dealership may want to advertise in the mall and in one centre they provided the security vehicles at a deep discount. Sponsors often subsidise the centre's handout directories. Printing companies have been sponsors for the centre newsletter. Art and crafts associations often provide advertising and on site shows for the benefit of the centre. Christmas decorations have been provided by a major supplier and a major motion picture provided a very elaborate and costly centre wide promotion in at least one case. The possibilities for sponsorships are endless for a major mall. Tenant Programme An effective temporary tenant programme is essential for the good management of any larger shopping centre. This includes vacant spaces being utilised until they are leased to a permanent tenant as well as kiosks, wall shops and cart vendors. The income from this source alone can make a major contribution to the financial success of any shopping centre. The manager will be expected to enforce the lease provisions equally among all of the tenants in the centre. If this gets out of hand where some merchants feel they are not getting a fair deal, they are likely to move when the lease expires. Turnover is expensive for a shopping centre, especially when it is caused by poor management.
CONCLUSION
The centre owners have the ultimate responsibility for these activities, but they are best handled by an experienced shopping centre professional. The owners requirements are set forth in the operating policies and procedures, the owners goals and the limitations on the managers responsibility and authority. These must all be clearly conveyed to the centre manager. The manager should be given authority commensurate with the responsibility to get the job done, but should also be subject to frequent reviews and to objective evaluations against the set standards. The owners should not interface with tenants to the degree that it renders the manager ineffective. Decisions beyond the manager's authority must be presented to the owners and the owners must provide timely decisions or the tenants will feel no one cares, especially the manager. There is no one more concerned with the long-term welfare of the shopping centre than is the owner. However, the typical owner is a very busy executive creating new projects and making major decisions. The day-to-day management is best left to a shopping centre professional in the area of management, with strong ownership support and with realistic limitations and continuous evaluation. Stated in terms of an old business axiom: 'trust, but verify'.

EXPORTING INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES TO AN EMERGING MARKET

BY PHILIP EVANTS > Head of Retail, Greece > Cushman & Wakefield
had the opportunity to visit India earlier this year and spent some time in Mumbai, Bangalore and New Delhi and was staggered by the shear number of opportunities for retail development. Clearly, the shopping centre development is spread across the country and probably in more than 200 cities and towns. There are approximately 1,200 shopping centres either under construction or planned to be open and trading before 2010-11. However, some of the centres are by developers who are merely looking at immediate development opportunity and as a result they may not have given adequate thought to the design of the centres. The net result will be that a

number of these shopping centres may fail to live up to their promise to provide consistent footfall and conversions to support retailers. There is hundreds of million of square feet of retail real estate under development currently; and for the best to succeed, there is a need to operate these centres professionally. The need to give each one of them an identity, make them stand out with their own brand values and individual personalities in order to provide unique reasons for customers to visit. There lies a need to look into and apply the science of 'Mall Management'. The mall management process broadly deals with design and development consultancy, marketing of the mall, finance and administration, operations and tenant relationship or coordination. While the title of the article sounds rather grandiose, I hope the message will become clear: by international management principles, I do, of course, mean Western European, i.e., those methods that have been tried and tested and are what international investors have come to expect. I hope you will forgive me for describing India as an emerging market, but, in terms of retail space, we are far behind even Central European countries and now that the market is opening up to international investors, we need to ensure that our new schemes are set-up and managed in accordance with these principles. So what is it that developers can do to take better advantage of this situation?
n
basic design eliminates the integration of the two and both function in isolation without supporting each other. The centre fails to derive benefit from the presence of an anchor and the anchor fails to benefit from the mall footfall. The anchor tenant would fail to perform their role as an anchor. The design of the centre should be unique and something previously unseen by the consumer, giving the centre its own identity. Many of us, those who have travelled around the world and seen one boring centre after another, it is those that are unique that inspire us and command a better recall. It has to provide a platform for retailers to trade to their optimum and a design that encourages them to be innovative in their approach to shop-fitting, with cutting edge designs. It should be an amalgam of shopping and leisure, where the potential customers can come and feel entertained and above all else, it must be a powerful brand in its own right with clear brand values. Everyone should know what it stands for. For example, Xanadu in Madrid; Spain has been very successful in this regard.
Getting the Basics Right: in terms of design and management set-up. Design, not only to provide great customer experience but much more in terms of operational efficiencies. Transparency: An open book policy with the retailers and the way in which we administer the service charge. A better operations-oriented design would also bring efficiency in operational costs. Efficiency: How we maximise the income and returns from our shopping centres.
But in order to churn profits, we have to get the basics right, so let's start at the beginning with 'Design Consultancy'.
THE ARCHITECT'S BASIC DESIGN

Is it reality or Fantasy Island? Has he understood the brief or is he on his own ego trip? Signature buildings and designs are good, but they have to be capable of operating. They have to be in sync with the retailers demand and requirements. In an emerging market like India the consumers' preferences will change much faster and hence the design has to provide flexibility and opportunity to adapt to economic changes and remain successful for the longer term. On a project that I am involved with elsewhere in Europe, the architect had actually designed such that the anchor tenant would have the only entrance to their store straight off the car park and no entrance through the mall. In such a scenario, the
125

As mentioned earlier, the anchor tenant needs to be put in the right place, with its identity determined and the deal done -- it needs to perform its role as an anchor tenant attracting not just the consumers to the centre but supporting their circulation within the centre. The selection of the anchor tenant is one of the most critical elements of mall leasing as the positioning of the anchor tenant helps in the overall positioning of the mall and attracting other like-minded tenants into the centre.
SHOPPING CENTRE OPERATIONAL BUDGETING

We need to prepare a Common Area Maintenance (CAM) or service charge budget, a realistic estimate of what it will cost to operate the centre. This should not just be a fixed percentage of rents because if it costs more, the landlord will be out of pocket and if it costs less the tenant is out of pocket and the landlord makes a profit certainly not the best way to manage a shopping centre. There should be a properly calculated CAM matrix apportioning the costs across all units using a weighted formula based on floor area; more about CAM later on.
The public or common areas need to be designed with operation and functionality in mind. Many a times the infrastructure is not designed to support the operations of a centre. A centre attracting a million and a half customers a week and employing a couple of thousand workers and sales staff would need equal amount of activity behind the scenes to keep such large operations intact. In such a mall the movement of goods and general customer care takes a beating and the maintenance costs for the upkeep of the common area increases. The customers, who should not notice operational issues, become aware of these nuisances and become distracted instead of focusing on retail. The grandness of the building which attracts more and more customers also needs to be maintained to keep it fresh forever. The materials and the finishes need to be easily cleaned and stand the test of time; the centre should continue to look new, well after the opening date. The design should provide for mechanical upkeep of the common areas. This means, a thorough planning in terms of equipments required for the upkeep, their movement and their storage with in the shopping centre.

One would need signage that are fit for purpose, clear and concise and direct customers around the centre; as well as lighting that is imaginative and adds to the overall experience; remember we are trying to create a theatre of shopping. The servicing and refuse regimes need to be designed so it happens seamlessly but behind the scenes, deliveries should not stretch across the mall during trading hours - not only is this unsightly, it also introduces huge Health & Safety issues. The goods movement through the common areas would also lead to breakage and wear tear of finishes in the common areas. The operation and location of both the Food Court and Car Park requires early consideration. Will the Food Court be leased to individual tenants or one operator? Will there be a separate CAM? Who will clean it and remove dirty trays, and so on? The customer movement in the Food Court, the operator movement in the food court, the gas supply, garbage disposal, dish washing, treatment of the wet areas, air change and air-conditioning, etc., have to be given special consideration. Material selection for flooring, furniture, etc., impacts on the future running cost of the centre. The car park is often the customers first and last impression of the centre, if it's covered it needs to be bright, giving the impression of space and security. The car park design should enhance the vehicle movement, ease out the peak traffic load and provide excellent signage support for customers to easily find their way back to their cars. The charging policy also needs to be determined, if it's not free, one needs to decide whether it will be pay on exit, pay on foot or pay on display. Such issues need to be considered and signed off at an early stage. The customer should not spend long hours trying to find a parking bay, to pay for the charges or to find entry and exit points. Time spent in parking by the customer is opportunity lost for the retailer. Of course, we all want our projects to be successful, these are some useful pointers to assist in that success: Team Set-Up and Structure Empower your teams. Set-up a proper structure from day one with separate teams responsible for issues such as Marketing, Finance, Operations, Tenant Coordination and insist that each of these Team Leaders reports to a weekly Board meeting on progress that is being made. The Board meetings also have to make decisions and push the client into doing so. Consultants are appointed to deliver projects, not make friends and occasionally we need to bully the client into making a decision because the worst decision is deciding not to make one! This type of structure not only forces people to take and accept responsibility, it also gives the project momentum, removing disillusionment as I mentioned earlier. Operationally one needs to set out the critical path. Critical path is a schedule of absolutely everything that needs to be done working back from the opening date on a time-line. It then clearly identifies those issues that are behind schedule

and the Board can agree on the action that needs to be taken to bring things back on track. The shopping centre budget needs to be market tested and finalised as the leasing team needs this information. It should be accurate, not just a wild presumption. Service providers and service levels need to be defined, negotiated and contracts need to be placed for cleaning, security etc, staff employed and trained and equipment purchased. With the opening date approaching, one needs to think about the marketing campaign, both from a business-to-business perspective, i.e., leasing and a business to customer angle, building up public awareness and developing the brand that the
centre will be associated with and defining what the brand values will be. A budget should be earmarked for the marketing of the mall and its launch. The budget needs to be discussed with the tenants and their participation and financial commitments agreed upon well in advance. This can be a onetime commitment or proportioned over a longer period. One should get the tenants to commit in advance to the opening campaign and spend this money wisely; the landlord also needs to make a significant contribution. And finally, one needs to get the contractor out of the building and offsite. This requires a management strategy for taking ownership of the building in a structured way so staff can be trained, the centre cleaned and
prepared for the opening. I now want to turn our attention to two important issues that we need to consider once our shopping centre has commenced operations: transparency and efficiency. Transparency and Efficiency Transparency in relation to the way in which we manage a shopping centre, as I referred earlier to an open book policy; this is particularly so in relation to how we operate the service charge or CAM, Common Area Maintenance costs. In the UK they have recently rewritten the service charge Code of Good Practice which will come into force next June. Cushman & Wakefield exported this code to mainland Europe
128
Escalators in Festival Walk Mall, Hong Kong
in 2004 and used it as a modus operandi at the centres we manage. Why? Because it removes a huge area of potential conflict between the landlord and tenant. Conflicts generally tend to result in the rent of service charge not being paid. The code suggests a number of things which include: The CAM or service charge is not there for the landlord to make a profit from, but at the same time, he should not be making a loss. What is spent should be recovered and what is spent should be legitimate shopping centre expenditure. It should be budgeted in advance, at the beginning of the year and the budget presented to the retailers, expenditure should be tracked during the year and re-forecast. If there is likely to be a significant overspend, this should be notified to the retailers early on. It should be a known cost that retailers can budget for, not a cost that fluctuates from month to month and is permanently disputed by the tenants. It must be cash neutral to the owner's income stream and held in an entirely separate bank account and used only for shopping centre purposes. Any interest earned from that account should be credited back into the shopping centre. The yearly expenditure should be audited within three months of the year-end and expenditure reported to the tenants, any overspend should be made up by the retailers and any under-spend refunded. It is a clear and concise policy like this that removes conflict, misunderstanding and a lack of trust in the relationship between owner and tenant. There is a cost to manage the entire centre, at times this is charged as a percentage of the CAM, which may not be the right process. Management fees should be fixed or expressed as a percent of the rent, not dependant on the CAM charge, otherwise there is no desire to keep costs down. The success of a shopping centre is also dependant on how efficiently the administration of the centre is managed. How quickly the rent and CAM costs are collected, keeping bad debts to a minimum and taking serious action against non or late payers. A well-managed centre will attract greater footfall and better revenues for retailers and many new opportunities for third party income that can be generated through other means. By this I mean mall income or commercialisation. This subject commands an entire article in itself, as the ways of generating additional income are endless; but some of the general ways are sponsorships, signage, events, car park tickets, children rides, kiosks, etc. Each scheme should have a clearly defined commercialisation strategy with income targets. However, at all times the shopping centre brand must be protected and developers should resist the temptation of covering the entire frontage of the scheme in tenant's signage for additional income as this dilutes the shopping centre's own brand and at the same time, looks unappealing.
One should prepare an annual business plan which should include aspects like Asset Enhancement Initiatives who is trading well and needs more space, who is trading badly and needs to be replaced, is the building built to its maximum potential in terms of building permits and are there adjoining ownerships that can be bought in. Is the commercial use right and allowing the centre to trade to its maximum potential, is the balance between retail and leisure right? The property needs to be kept in a 'clean' state at all times if it is to be attractive to international investors. By clean I mean:
A well-managed centre will attract greater footfall and better revenues for retailers and many new opportunities for third party income that can be generated through other means.

But to create something that will. Shopping centre development encompasses a huge array of skills, development consultancy, design, management set-up, leasing, marketing and asset and financial management. All of these disciplines are intrinsically linked; our failure to bring them all together, or to engage consultants who can, puts the entire project at risk. Shopping centre development is not a real estate development; it is creation of a business. This needs to be run like a business and not like a real estate asset. So what is the end result? Either we achieve our goal and create something that will live forever or at least something from which we can make a lot of money!

MALLS SAFE?
ARE INDIAN
And what does that lead too? With lack of proper safety standards and measures, malls in India have already started witnessing a number of accidents, some even resulting in deaths or severe injuries to children and adults alike. A series of accidents at a popular Bangalore mall has forced the state government and the city authorities to rethink on mall safety standards to be implemented by all existing and upcoming malls in the city. Even the mall in question has started adopting some measures, but the question remains, Why do we always take corrective actions and not preventive ones? When all Indian mall developers are too keen to make a lot of mall from this business, why do they just copy and paste the swanky and glitzy finishes from developed markets, instead of also copying public safety and hygiene standards? Is it because, in India, there are no strict guidelines or proper safety norms? Or, is it

et's consider the Great Indian Mall Mania up to 600 malls are likely to be up and running in India by the end of 2009. What shocks us is that more than 90% of the current and planned malls in India fall way short of international standards, especially in terms of design, specifications, safety and security.
because there isn't anyone to monitor any standards? Or simply because we just don't care. After all, with a population of 1130 million, how does it matter if 1130 were to lose their life? Just copying the international safety standards will not serve the purpose, because most developed markets with successful mall stories, such as USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa or Dubai, have little or no experience of handling such large numbers of visitors as what Indian malls witness, especially on weekends. Managing such large crowds needs an altogether different approach, especially when it comes to safety and/or security. In India, parents' lovingly let their children move up and down in an escalator, for the sheer fun of it and even enjoy the sight with ultimate parental satisfaction; pedestrians simply walk aimlessly in the parking areas, being blissfully oblivious of where the pedestrian walkways are (if there are any), or where the driveways are. The need of the hour demands that we put in place very strict safety guidelines. It is high time that we start working towards creating our own safety norms for malls, taking the necessary inputs from international standards and experience.

mall abroad, in India, don't be surprised, if you see lifts with 272 kg and 408 kg capacities. Another very typical Indian problem with the usage of an elevator in a mall is overloading, in fact, it has been observed that sometimes it is the passengers themselves who actually insist that more people be allowed inside, especially if they are part of a big group. In the recent case in the popular Bangalore mall, where an elevator crash landed three floors down after moving up to the first floor from the lower basement, officials from the Karnataka Fire and Emergency Services department, who inspected the elevator which stalled trapping 13 people (with an estimated total weight of 925 kgs), found that this particular lift had the capacity to carry only eight persons with only 544 kg weight capacity. Under such circumstances, why cannot we have automated safety measures which ensure that the lift will not operate if it is overloaded. According to an elevator industry expert, there is a possibility of the doors' alignment shifting due to prolonged usage. A short circuit could also affect the lift doors. If the power goes off, the doors will not open. Moreover, if the doors are open, the lift is not supposed to move,'' he maintains. Therefore, regular maintenance of lifts is a must. In a high use building such as a mall, it should be once every two weeks. Checking door and circuits should be taken up, apart from lubrication. The safety edge between the car door and the landing door should also be checked regularly. In addition, a maintenance schedule for the elevators, displayed with dates,

LIFTS
Lifts, or elevators, are supposed to be very safe. The global safety record of elevators, of moving millions of passengers every day, with an extremely low rate of untoward incidents, is unsurpassed by any other mechanical transportation system, although fatalities due to malfunctions have been known to occur on occasions. In the US, elevators are considered safe, as per the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation, USA. Of the 120 billion people who ride in 600,000 elevators across USA each year, less than 10,000 people wind up in a hospital emergency room because of elevator-related accidents. Elevator capacities in public buildings are usually proportional to the floor areas. Globally, passenger elevators generally used in malls have capacities ranging from 750 kgs (10 pax) to 2,700 kgs (36 pax). This is based on the fact that the average weight of a person has increased over the years, while rationalizing the same with the number of persons that an elevator should carry. In India, capacities range from 272 kgs to 1768 kgs, with an average of only 68 kgs per passenger. While it is very rare to find an elevator of less than 750 kg in a

For elevators in any mall in India, especially where such elevators are unmanned, besides the general controls that a typical modern passenger elevator should have, the following could be provided as a standard:

contemporary elevators, in order to save costs. To overcome this, their should be a law that elevators in malls and other public buildings should have a minimum 750 kg capacity, and should have latest safety approvals in USA, Japan and EU. After all, if we can follow this for vehicle emission standards, why not for elevators. And if the new five-star hotels can install the latest generation elevators, why not mall developers/owners?

Always stand straight. Keep your hands, feet and clothing away from any moving parts. Do not drag your feet off the escalator steps. When you reach the bottom or the top of the escalator, exit immediately. Do not stop or play.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Design and layout considerations A number of factors affect escalator design, including physical requirements, location, traffic patterns, safety considerations, and aesthetic preferences. Foremost, physical factors like the vertical and horizontal distance to be spanned, must be considered. These and other factors will determine the pitch of the escalator and its actual length. The ability of the building infrastructure to support the heavy components is also a critical physical concern. Location is important because escalators should be situated where they can be easily seen by the general public. In department stores, customers should be able to view merchandise easily.
An elevator telephone, which can be used (in addition to the alarm) by trapped passengers to call for help. While several elevators do have this, our surveys show that most are either disconnected or don't work. A fireman's key switch, which places the elevator in a special operating mode designed to aid firefighters. A medical emergency key switch, which places the elevator in a special operating mode designed to aid medical personnel.
ESCALATORS
"Going to a shopping mall is like a family outing, but there are senior citizens who are apprehensive about using escalators. But they crowd around them and prevent other people from using them..," observes a mall frequenter. Indians are not used to using escalators. So, the question is how do we train them on it? We begin here with these basics: 1. Hold on to the handrails to keep your balance. Do not ride or lean on the handrail or play while on the escalator. Do not sit on the escalator steps.
It is common knowledge that more than 80 percent of the elevators sold in India belong to the 1980s genre. Mall developers do not opt for modern,
134
Furthermore, up and down escalator traffic should be physically separated and should not lead into confined spaces. Traffic patterns must also be anticipated in escalator design. In some buildings, the objective is simply to move people from one floor to another, but in others, there may be a more specific requirement, such as funneling visitors towards an exit or an exhibit. The number of passengers is important because escalators are designed to carry a certain maximum number of people. For example, a single-width escalator, traveling at about 1.5 feet (0.45 m) per second, can move an estimated 170 persons per a five-minute period. The carrying capacity of an escalator system must match the expected peak traffic demand, presuming that passengers ride single-file. This is crucial for applications in which there are sudden increases in the number of riders. For example, escalators used in train stations must be designed to cater for the peak traffic flow discharged from a train, without causing excessive bunching at the escalator entrance. It is preferred that staircases be located adjacent to the escalator if the escalator is the primary means of transport between floors. It may also be necessary to provide an elevator lift adjacent to an escalator for wheelchairs and disabled persons.

KEY SAFETY FEATURES DEVELOPED OVER TIME

To enhance passenger safety, newer models of escalators are being equipped with one or more of the following safety features, which should be implemented in India without any further delay:
n
Anti-slide Devices: These are raised circular objects that often stud the escalator balustrade. They are sometimes informally called "hockey pucks" due to their appearance. Their purpose is to prevent objects (and people) from precipitously sliding down the otherwise smooth metallic surface. Combplate Impact Switches: Will stop the escalator if a foreign object gets caught between the steps and the combplate on either end. Deflector Brush: A long continuous brush made of stiff bristles runs up the sides of the escalator just above the step level. This helps keep loose garments and curious hands away from the dangerous gap between the moving stairs and the side panel. Emergency Stop button: At each
135
end of the escalator, a large red button can be pressed to stop the escalator. A transparent plastic guardplate (usually alarmed) often covers the button, to avoid the button being pressed accidentally, or for fun by children and casual vandals. Restarting requires turning a key.
n
Extended Balustrades: Allows riders to grasp the handrail before setting foot on an escalator, to ease customer comfort and stability/equilibrium. Flat Steps: The first two or three steps at either end of the escalator are flat, like a moving walkway. This gives the passenger extra time to orient him/herself when boarding, and more level time to maintain balance when exiting. Longer escalators, especially those used to enter a subterranean metro station, often have four or more flat steps. Handrail Inlet Switches: Located at the bottom and top of the unit. These sensors guard the opening where the handrail enters and exits the escalator. If something gets caught between the handrail and the opening, a hard fault is

Step Demarcation Lights: A fluorescent or LED light, traditionally colored green, is located inside the escalator mechanism under the steps at the boarding point. The resulting illumination between the steps improves the passengers' awareness of the step divisions. Step Demarcation Lines: The front and/or sides of the steps are colored a bright yellow as a warning. Earlier models had the yellow color painted on; many newer steps are designed to take yellow plastic inserts.

Safe Riding While some escalator accidents are caused by a mechanical failure, most can be avoided by following some simple safety precautions. Some suggestions for safe riding include:

generated in the controller and the escalator shuts down.

n
Handrail Speed Sensors: Located somewhere inside of the escalator unit. These sensors are usually optical, they are positioned to sense how fast the handrail is going. In case of a drive chain/belt breaking, in order to protect the drive and people on the escalator, if the sensor notices a speed difference between the handrail and the steps it will sound an alarm, wait for a couple of seconds, then stop the escalator. A hard fault is generated inside the controller, and therefore must be serviced by authorised personnel. Level Step Switches: Switches usually located at the top and bottom of the unit near the track hold-downs. These switches will detect an unlevel step before it approaches the combplate. This is to stop the escalator before the unlevel step crashes into the combplate, possibly preventing injury to a passenger. Missing Step Detectors: Located in various places (according to brand of escalator), this sensor can either
be optical or a physical switch. No matter the type of device, the missing step detector will turn off the escalator when no step is found when one is expected.
n
Raised Edges: The sides of the steps are raised slightly to discourage standing too close to the edge. Safety Instructions: Posted on the balustrades at either end. Formerly, the only warning usually given was 'PLEASE HOLD YOURSELF' or some variation thereof (and, in models that used now-rare smooth step risers, had such a message right on the step face). Now, a series of instructions are given (see below). Sensor Switch: Placed at the starting end of the escalator, the Sensor Switch will automatically start the escalator if a person is near the entry point. After some
Always step out at the end of the stairs to prevent from falling. Check for loose garments such as long dresses, dupattas, etc. Also, loose shoelaces are particularly notorious for getting caught in escalators. Children under the age of seven should be accompanied by an adult when riding. Adults should hold a child's hand. Do not use the escalator when transporting any large package or when pushing a device with wheels, such as baby strollers and shopping carts. Also, the escalator should not be used by someone with a walker or on crutches.
While some escalator accidents are caused by a mechanical failure, most can be avoided by following some simple safety precautions.

Level step switches switches usually located at the top and bottom of the unit near the track hold-downs. These switches will detect an unlevel step before it approaches the combplate.
Do not use the escalator if it is not in motion. ("Escalator steps are not the correct height for normal walking and should not be used in that manner. The risk of tripping and falling is greatly increased."). Face forward. Hold the handrail. Do not ride barefoot. Keep footwear away from side panels. Keep walking after exiting the escalator to prevent a pileup. Stand to one side to allow others to pass you on wider escalators.

PARKING SPACES / LOTS

Most global building codes for malls require that there be 1.5 sq.ft of parking space for every foot of rentable retail space. Another ratio is five car parking spaces (CPS) per 1,000 sq.ft of retail space, which needs 1.7 sq.ft of parking space for every foot of retail space. In India, there is usually only one to 1.2 CPS per 1,000 sq.ft of retail space, which is a fourth or fifth of what is required. Due to this, developers provide less than adequate length/width in the slots and also compromise on driveway widths. Thus, reversing cars could easily lead to accidents, some which could be quite serious or even fatal. Also, while many mall parking lots abroad have a well defined
pedestrian pathway, this is absent in India. Even ramp widths in Indian malls are sometimes inadequate. The popular mall in Bangalore, where five to six lift or escalator related incidents have already taken place in just two years, arguably has the worst multi-level car park in the world we need to check whether the Guiness Book of World Records will list this category. This is even more shocking when one realises that this mall itself, built on a prime government (public) land, was actually meant to be by product for subsidising the construction of a public parking lot. Lighting at Parking Lots Lighting, either too little, too much, or the wrong kind, is often a problem in parking lots. In open lots, it is difficult to effectively light the whole area, especially since weather conditions may change. In closed lots, because the ceilings are low, the light does not get dispersed evenly, and corners usually remain in darkness. 1. 2. Use lighting that will not create glare, or blind drivers. Consider using halide lights rather than the more common sodium lights. Halide lights show true colour much better than sodium lights do. Lighting should be uniform. Passing from high to low intensity lighting area may be difficult on drivers.

Using bright colours on the walls that reflect light can increase the brightness further. Brightly coloured walls frequently invite graffiti, so it is important to use surfaces not suitable for graffiti, or pain that can be easily washed. In level lots, natural light should be used to the greatest extent. Make enough entry points to the main mall so as to keep shortest possible distance from any parking slot, so that a visitor does not actually have to walk a long distance in the parking lot to enter the main mall Pedestrians should not be allowed into the parking facilities, and lots should not be used as pedestrian entrances or exits to the mall. Only shoppers with parking ticket or pass should be able to enter the parking lot from the mall. Proper signage and systems to lead the visitors to the right parking lots
places at malls where pedestrians could be walking about) should be restricted to a maximum of 10 kmph. Crime at Mall Parking Lots As parking areas fill up, shoppers are often forced to park far from mall exits, sometimes in poorly lit areas. Park as close to entrances and exits as you can. No one wants to circle the lot for an hour waiting for a good spot to open up, but give it a shot, at least for a few minutes.
n
entering, check that no one is hiding in the back seat. Most crime in malls happens in the parking lots, simply because there are many appealing targets and few people around to keep an eye on things. Parking lots that are open air tend to be safer than underground or covered ones. Open air parking lots provide for more natural surveillance, as other people entering and exiting the mall are able to observe the activity in the parking lot, while this is not the case with multistory closed parking. First impressions count. For most customers, the parking lot is their first encounter with a mall. Does it give a friendly, safe and secure impression, or one that is foreboding, dangerous and dark? Elevators and stairs should never be placed in the back of the lot, but centrally instead. Access to and from them should be open and not intimidating. Stairs should be kept open, rather than enclosed by walls, so that person using the stairs can be seen from the outside. This will not just prevent offenders form using stairs as escape routes or hiding spots, but will also prevent them from attacking shoppers there. Elevators should be equipped with cameras, well lit, and if possible, be

Access Control in Parking Lots 1.
If forced to the far reaches of a lot, or even beyond the lot, seek a spot that's well-lit or near a welltraveled driveway. Stow your purchases in the trunk. When you're weighed down with packages, you may be tempted to throw them in the back seat and return to the mall to continue shopping. If your purchases are in plain view, you may return to find your car windows smashed and your things stolen. Save your most expensive purchases for last, so you can head straight home. Have your keys ready when you approach your vehicle. Before

made of glass or other translucent material, in order to prevent it from being used for illegal purposes or as attack spots. Covered parking lots should be designed with open sides and low walls, so people passing by can easily see what is going on inside. Inside the parking lot, walls should be avoided whenever possible, in order to prevent the obstruction of the view of the lot. All traffic should be directed in one direction, both for pedestrians and vehicles. This will increase number of people moving around certain areas of the lot. There should be no dead ends. All parking spots should be placed around the ramp that is used to get around the lot. For open lots, bushes and trees should be trimmed so as not to obstruct views. Constructing parking area behind the mall should be avoided. Parking in front of the mall entrances both makes it more convenient for customers, and also increases the natural surveillance because of the pedestrian traffic. Avoid parking spots close to the emergency or other exits, which may be used by offenders. Since space is not as big problem for open lots, more space should be left between parking spots, in order to reduce vehicular crowding and increase visibility. mall, where customers can pick up and use them to remind themselves of where they have parked. This can actually be very cheap to do, because individual retail or F&B outlets at the mall could put their ads on the map, and cover the whole expense, and perhaps even create profit for the mall. 3. Colours can be further used to mark parking rows, with stripes on the walls, or on the floor. Arrows should be clear, both on the floor and on the wall, in order to direct both car and pedestrian traffic. Have clear directions showing the location of guard booths, elevators and stairs, as well as maps of the mall in the parking lot.
SIGNAGE
How many times have you found yourself in a multi-level parking lot, hopelessly looking for your car, thinking, Was it on the 3rd or 5th level, was it F or D row?? People lost in parking lots are at greater risk of being attacked. Making it easy for everyone to find their way quickly and efficiently gives a feeling of safety and also removes the opportunity for offenders to attack. 1. While numbers and letters should be easy to remember, people frequently get confused and forget them. Some malls have started marking the levels with fruit or animals. Instead of 'First', 'Second' and so on, there are 'Strawberry', 'Orange', or 'Lion', 'Horse', or 'Dog'. These seem to be much easier to remember, and if the walls are appropriately decorated too, add to the bright feeling in the lot. It is possible to make maps of the parking lot and place them by the elevators or the entrance into the

FIRE SAFETY

fire extinguishers hanging on the walls or lying in some corner in malls, we are not sure whether: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The fire safety systems are in working order. The fire extinguishers are refilled as necessary. The sprinkler system works. There is regular maintenance. Security personnel are trained to use these. There is a Fire Safety Officer in the mall. Whether the security personnel and other staff members are adequately trained on how to act in a fire emergency situation. Does anyone care? such a situation? Maybe we need fire exits in multiple directions on each floor. Train All Staff About the Mall's Fire and Life Safety Systems Does everyone know what and where the fire and life safety systems are, and how they work? Which of the following does your mall have and what is their importance in a fire...smoke detectors, manual pull alarms, elevators, stairwells, fire doors, alarm system, sprinklers, etc.? Have Regular Discussions on Fire Safety Discuss hazards particular to the facility. What can one identify and what precautions should be taken? Have staff from different areas identify hazards common to their work area (kitchen, bar, security, management, etc.) Hold Fire Drills Hold drills at regular and non-scheduled times in order for staff to practice the emergency response plan and to evaluate how well they understand their

Regular unannounced mock fire drills need to be part of any fire safety system in a public building. So that the public is aware of what to do and staff are always on their guard, apart from being adequately trained practically. And also so that the fire fighting crew at the fire services department become familiar with these public buildings. But, how many times have we ever seen a mock drill being conducted? Let's start with this. And let's engage the visitors as well. Unless, we want to wait for another tragedy like the Upahar cinema in Delhi or the school in Tamil Nadu. After all, like we said before, what's 1,130 fatalities in a country of 1,130 million. Also, let us put clear signage on each floor showing where the Fire Exits are. But, with the crowds, how do we avoid a stampede in

responsibilities in such real life situations. Everyone should have the opportunity to physically run through the procedures. Studies indicate that, unless adults actually practice safety behaviors, they very well may not be able to perform them correctly when the need arises. Gradually increase the realism of your fire drill. "Hide" employees in the building to see if they are located or missed. Post a sign in one of the exits indicating it is blocked by smoke. Evaluate every fire drill. Did everyone respond correctly and appropriately to the drill? Are there staff concerns that need to be addressed regarding the evacuation procedures? These are questions fire drills can help answer. Such mock drills will also help in meeting challenges of similar natural or man-made hazards of earthquake, bomb blast etc.

mall has a gap between the escalator handrail and the floor railings Even the balcony railings of the mall built in the usual mezzanine style where floors don't run wall to wall have huge gaps, more than a foot high and about a foot and a half wide. Some of these gaps, big enough for very young children to slip through, are covered by glass sheets but many are open. The Hindu, on July 3, 2007, quoted a retired town planner, who said that Such safety lacunae in buildings were mainly because of absence of appropriate knowledge about the delicate issues of engineering and architecture, among the town planners, who approve the building plan. Also to blame is the failure of constant inspections during construction of such buildings and before issuing NOC. Even post-

PUBLIC RESTROOMS
In a study by Kimberly-Clark Professional, 39 percent of survey respondents in USA feared picking up germs in a public restroom more than any other place. Nothing can be truer than this in the Indian context! Foul odors, lack of supplies and puddles on the floors can all be signs of improper maintenance. Odor that comes from public restrooms can be caused by urine in tile grouting. If the floors aren't properly cleaned daily (or more depending on the traffic) then the uric acid salts will not be removed with regular cleansers. These salts provide a food source for bacteria whose digestive processes give off the foul odor. A lack of supplies (toilet paper, hand drying towels or soap) can also increase the unhygienic conditions of a restroom. Overly crowded restrooms can suffer from a lack of supplies or a

There should be a chemical-lined dispenser bin in each of the ladies' WCs for the proper disposal of used sanitary pads. Door-less entry (labyrinth entrance): It prevents the spread of disease that might otherwise occur when coming in contact with a door. Door-less entry provides visual privacy while simultaneously offering a measure of security by allowing the passage of sound. Sensor operated fixtures prevent the spread of disease by allowing the users to circumvent the need to touch common surfaces. Sensor operated fixtures also help conserve water by limiting the amount used per flush, and require less routine maintenance. In the Indian context, where we are not habituated in the use of toilet paper, a health faucet (bum washer spray) is an absolute must.
Another good idea to implement in both men's and ladies' restrooms would be to get a countertop changing area to increase safety while changing an infant's diapers right next to a faucet for the mother/father to utilise in cleaning up without having to let go of the squirming baby. Restrooms in malls tend to be hidden in remote spots, in order to discourage use by non-shoppers and keep visible and central areas for business and retail. However, this strategy frequently encourages crime. Hidden restrooms are perfect spots for robbers, because they are away from the view of other customers. Further, they may become areas for people to gather, and in some cases even use drugs.
Last, but not the least, it is high time for us Indians to realise and understand that, although providing safety and security is an integral responsibility of mall developers, owners and managers, as well as the retailers who operate in the malls, it is also our individual responsibility to take ownership of our own actions.
OTHER POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AREAS
Children Play Areas Children's play areas should always be at the ground floor level, and must be enclosed properly. The interiors of these areas should not have any things with sharp edges. Food Court Don't plan a food court in the basement of any mall. Have proper fire safety systems and garbage disposal systems. Ensure regular food-grade disinfectant use to prevent bacteria. Electrical Wiring Good quality electrical wiring should be used, within fire rated conduits. Before signing up, we want to add something which may not directly concern safety, but is bound to go a long way in indirectly ensuring better malls in India. Something that Asipac has been advocating for the last three years a definition for different types of malls, which can be an Indian adaptation of ISCS's following definitions: Last, but not the least, it is high time for us Indians to realise and understand that, although providing safety and security is an integral responsibility of mall developers, owners and managers, as well as the retailers who operate in the malls, it is also our individual responsibility to take ownership of our own actions.

BUILDING A MALL
BY SHILPA MALIK > General Manager > Select Infrastructure Pvt Ltd
Well, the order has given way to two of the most critical developments of the last couple of years in the Indian retail industry interest from large Indian corporate houses such as Reliance, Bharti and opening of the FDI (though there is still a lot to be desired on the FDI front). And the chaos has transformed into every land owner, investor and practically every domestic or international private equity fund scouting for investment opportunities in retail! The buzz around the Indian retail Industry can now hardly be contained within the neighborhood kirana store or our geographical boundaries for that matter. This third edition of the Malls in India research series, put together by IMAGES F&R Research, has tried to capture this essence by collating expert views and conducting intensive research.
146
t has been three years since I put together my thoughts in the first edition of the IMAGES Malls in India publication; it was then an anxious expression of the nature of order and chaos around the frantic activity in retail and creation of formal shopping environments in India.
In the last three years I have had an interesting tryst with an opportunity to live 'my experiments with truth' in creating malls, during the making of over a million square feet of a development called Select Citywalk. Clearly, it has been established that Indian consumer is ready to experience the flavour of organised retailing and the 'Call of the Mall' has and shall prove to be irresistible for him. Now that the urban Indian consumer has been declared to be ready for matrimony with organised retailing experience, and is largely synonymous with adjectives such as rising disposable incomes, changing aspirations and lifestyles etc, it is interesting to note the number of grooms that are in queue to attract her attention: department stores, discounters, hypermarkets, not to mention the mother of all in the wings Wal Mart a plethora of brands and retailers, mass, premium, super premium, luxury, niche, speciality stores, category killers, Indian, international, organised, semi organised, decades of learning curve has been compressed into a bundle of choices and hurled at the Indian consumer at one time! It is like launching the mobile phone with all the models Nokia has ever come up in its lifetime, displayed on the shelf, at a time when all one has ever used is an MTNL land line phone! In this environment, it shall certainly be a challenge for the brands and retailers to attract the consumer. She is maturing faster than expected, is more informed and educated, willing to spend, but also getting demanding. Several formats and retailers who have seen there plans go awry bear testimony to her caprice. At the same time she has an open mind and is still evaluating the retailers and shopping centres. Meanwhile the learning curve for the shopping centre industry has been rather interesting and steep, while over 80 million sq.ft of 'organised shopping centre' space having come up over the last three years, a mere handful of centers have been made a significant market impact. According to IMAGES F&R Research estimates, the total supply of shopping centre by 2011 is roughly projected to be more than 300 million sq.ft. While few of the centres never took off the drawing board, others which have been built have not been able to attract retailers and consumers, some are already being repositioned and in absence of appropriate development approach many are expected to follow the same course. The adage of 'location is everything' has been taken too literally by several property owners who have turned shopping center developers overnight and created products without any focus on fundamentals. In fact , there shall probably never be a better time to reemphasise the importance of the basics of shopping centre development catchment quality, positioning, tenant mix, zoning, retail planning, infrastructure provision, professional management and of course location. Equally, the challenges for the
Indian developer have been increasing, particularly over the past few years high land cost (which in turn have increased pressure on occupancy costs for retailers), complexity of interface with government regulatory bodies for clearances, a largely unorganized construction industry and inadequate access infrastructure to name a few. Amongst the successful handful of centres (such as The Forum in Bangalore or Inorbit Mall in Mumbai to name a few), the trends have been promising there are more leased models in the pipeline today than a couple of years ago, a focus on a planned mix, relevance of scale, influx of professionals, increasing reliance on international architectural and planning expertise etc. Clearly as we go forward, malls shall have clear cut categorisation in terms of positioning mass, premium, luxury etc.; and function neighborhood centres, lifestyle centres etc. Consistency of approach, strict adherence to leasing strategy throughout the development phase, a strong consumer focus and integration of all disciplines of development such as planning and design, leasing and tenant mix, legal frameworks, etc., shall become imperative to developing good quality shopping centers which are driven by retailer performance. As the spread of the organised retail activity spreads beyond the top eight to 10 cities to almost over 50 cities in the country, organised shopping centre development shall follow, or probably lead with an intense fervour. This book articulates learning from the past few years of industry experience, presents expert views on various related subjects, highlights key challenges, profiles mall developments and tracks shopping center space supply. The industry estimates that over 300 million sq.ft of space will come up by 2011 and that the US$270 billion Indian retail industry will grow by leaps and bounds over the next five years! With over a decade of learning behind, the shopping centre industry has to now mature. The time for making the quick buck is over, its time to get down to serious business of shopping centre development and set benchmarks.

he Supply of Mall Space, especially in a fast developing economy like India, will necessarily be subject to cyclical ups and downs even as the economy and businesses come to grips with the complex market forces relating to demand for retail space and the project costs that very often tend to go out of bounds. Images set itself to the task of monitoring this very special market segment way back in 2004 when, after a 126 percent growth in supply of mall space 8.4 million sq.ft of mall space had suddenly come up and there were few takers. Sections of the media felt the mall boom had gone bust. This is when Images compiled the views of global experts on the subject in the first edition of the Shopping Centres & Malls in India Book the developers had to informed on the correct way forward.
Since then, the industry has come a long way, albeit in a very short span of time. The 126 percent growth in mall activity in 2004 was just the start-up of the engine following which growth rate climbed down to 99 percent in 2005 and further fell to 61 percent in 2006. All this while the solid foundation of the Indian Shopping Centre industry was being laid, mall space had increased from 8.4 million sq.ft in 2005 to 16.7 million sq.ft in 2006. In the second edition of the Malls in India 2005 research publication we projected a growth of 97.4 percent in 2005 and 61.7 percent in 2007 with 32.7 million sq.ft and 54.3 million sq.ft of mall space for the two years respectively. Today, when we take stock of the situation, we find that the clock is back by one year, mainly because several announced projects did not take off. The earlier projection of 87.8 million sq.ft of mall space by year 2007 is now likely to be achieved in year 2008 when there will be more than 290 operational malls. The positive side of the picture is that the growth rate was projected to be around 62 percent in 2007, which will now be in the vicinity of 76 percent. Based on the status of
mall projects under progress, this growth will further accelerate to 85 percent in 2008, which will ensure availability of more than 154 million sq.ft of quality retail space in 2009. The market will be at a mature height by year 2010 with nearly 205 sq.ft of mall space. Even modest growth thereafter should be able to push the mall space supply in the country to a level beyond 350 million sq.ft by 2015, with more than 750 malls operational by then. By all counts, this is the big time for the retail real estate industry. All indicators look positive. The Indian economy is speeding ahead at the rate of about nine percent per annum, foreign exchange reserves are getting close to the US $200 billion mark, growth in private consumption expenditure is restlessly trying to surpass the GDP growth rate and organised retailing is growing at over 40 percent per annum. Permission to FDI in the real estate sector has provided a further boost to the mall and shopping centre industry. Till March 2007 US$23.9 billion FDI had flown in to the 17 major Indian cities. Real estate accounts for nearly half of the inflow.
151
Distribution of Mall Space

The West zone has had the maximum number of mall developments thus far and its share in overall supply of mall space is a dominating 44 percent of the 47.4 million sq.ft of space to be available in 2007. The North zone accounts for 35 percent followed by 14 percent share to the East and remaining seven percent in the Eastern zone. This share matrix will drastically change in the next four years. By 2011, out of a total supply of 236 million sq.ft of mall space, the share of North zone will increase to 39 percent, the South and East too will increase their share to 24 percent and nine percent respectively. The share of West zone will be reduced greatly to 28 percent, but this reduction in no way implies a slow down in mall activity in Mumbai or the other parts of the region. It is a relatively lower activity as compared to the other regions.
Kolkata is the only major city in the East and that too has had the awakening call to modern services sector quite late. But once awake, this urban giant will for sure extract its pound of flesh that primarily explains the East zone's rising share in supply of mall space. In the South, Chennai too has a similar story as far as modern retail is concerned. Having pioneered the mall concept in the country in 1999 (Spencer's Plaza) the city saw no further developments on this front till March 2006 when the Chennai City Centre mall came up. Now, several mega projects are under execution. Several mall projects have been initiated in Bangalore and Hyderabad as well, besides a lot of activity in the tier-III cities like Mysore and Koch that's for the rising share of the South, where there is no dearth of young high income customers from the IT and ITES sectors to flock the malls. The thrust in mall activity from the North does not originate entirely from the Delhi NCR it is the tier-III and smaller cities like Ludhiana, Jaipur, Lucknow and Sonepat that are plush with high income/high net-worth consumers and mall developers are exploiting the potential. Besides the commonly listed tier-II and tier-III cities like Indore, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Pune, Mysore, Kochi, Hyderabad, Sonepat, Lucknow, Ludhiana and Jaipur, there are numerous smaller cities where beautiful modern malls are coming up and the cumulative impact is such that these non-extinct urban centres that accounted for only 3.57 lakh sq.ft of mall space in 2004 will boast of 4.7 crore sq.ft of mall space three years from now as compared to 3.35 crore sq.ft mall space in the NCR at the time. This development is very much in line with what the 2005 Shopping Centres & Malls in India book had predicted. Knight Frank Research indicates that the far-reaching effects of positive macro trends in changing the consumer preferences and shifting mindsets towards organised retailing experience. Besides new malls, close to 35 hypermarkets, 325 large department stores and over 10,000 new outlets are also under development. Growth in rural population and increase in agricultural incomes also offers
152
considerable scope for innovative retail formats. The depth of the Indian market and the variations of the consumer profile portend a bright future for the sustained growth of the Indian retail sector. Knight Frank Research also indicates that the demand for branded products and popularity of organised formats can once again be attributed to positive macro economic growth being experienced in India presently. Increase in spending power has led to demand and the willingness to pay for new-age retailing experience. Developers and retailers alike are keen to cash on this and have unveiled expansive growth plans across cities. Organised retailing in small-town India is growing at 50-60 percent a year compared to the 35-40 percent growth in the major cities of India. About 200 tier-III cities with a population of less

A revolution indeed. Western cities in particular have more open space outside the construction or restrict the number of levels as is evident from the finding that on an average only 1.5 units of mall space correspond to one unit of land area in the case of malls in Pune. Mumbai, Sonepat, Delhi NCR also more of land as against centres like Hyderbad (1 : 4.65) and Chennai (1 : 3.67) that extract maximum mall space from the land used. Malls in Ludhiana (1 : 0.42), Bangalore (1 : 0.48), and Hyerabad (1 : 0.53) have more free movement space within the mall as evident from the average GLA per unit of built up floor space. In contrast, there is less movement space inside the malls in Sonepat (1 : 0.94), Mysore (1 : 0.89), Indore, Jaipur, and Pune.
Bangalore (29.9 lakh sq.ft), DLF Bangalore (36 lakh sq.ft), DLF Hyderabad (26.5 lakh sq.ft) and a project by Kshitij Investment in Chennai (23 lakh sq.ft). Prominent among the 10 mega mall projects in the West zone are DLF's mall in Lower Parel, Mumbai (26.15 lakh sq.ft), Prozone Golden Mall in Aurangabad (21.7 lakh sq.ft) and the Mumbai-Kurla Mall project by Kshitij (26 lakh sq.ft). There are 10 such mega mall projects identified in the North zone, which include the Mall of India at Gurgaon by DLF Retail Developers (55.23 lakh sq.ft). Clearly, each of these mega malls will be a definite shopping and fun destination for enthusiastic Indian consumers in the years ahead. Happy malling all the way!

MALL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EAST
he East Zone had its first mall in 2002 with The City Centre from Bengal Ambuja Metro Development Ltd. Located in Salt Lake, this super structure was built on a 2.18 lakh land area with 4.5 lakh square feet of mall space, out of which three lakh square feet was the gross leasable area. In the next two years, by 2004, there were four more malls operational in the East, a total of three in Kolkata (Forum, Metropolis and Fort Knox) and one each in Bhubaneshwar (Forum Mart by developer Susam Properties) and Guwahati (Hub by developer Mridul Properties). Malling activity has picked up since then and by the end of this year there will be a total of 14 malls operational in the East, of which nine are located in Kolkata and five in the other major urban centres. Together, these 14 malls will offer 11.91 million square feet of quality retail space. Going by the under-construction projects and those that have been announced, there will be a total of 47 malls operational in the East by year 2010, of which 25 will be in Kolkata and 22 in the other major urban centres. Besides Kolkata, maximum activity on this front is happening in Asansol, Guwahati, Raipur and Siliguri.

The average ratio of land area to mall space for Kolkata is as 1 : 2.24, while for the other urban centres it is 1 : 2.08 ; which is indicative of higher land prices in Kolkata, and therefore lesser open space. In the case of the prevailing average ratio of mall space to GLA, Kolkata malls have more movement space (1 : 0.67) as compared to the other centres where for every one square feet of mall space there is slightly larger GLA (1 : 0.69).

The Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj classification of India Retail, The India 50, places Kolkata in the 'transitional' centre category, while Bhubaneshwar and Jamshedpur are classified as Emerging centres. Ranchi, Guwahati, Jabalpur, Asansol and Dhanbad are, on the other hand, classified as 'nascent' retail centres in the East Zone.
factor that large retailers find attractive about Kolkata market is the high retail spending that has been witnessed in their existing stores, both standalone and in the operational malls. Increased consumer demand, improved sourcing options and large availability of real estate have created the foundation for significant growth of organised retail in the city. Central Business District (CBD) The prime locations in Kolkata where retail developments have flourished are concentrated in the CBD locations of Elgin Road, Camac Street, Theater Road, Russel Street, Park Street, AJC Bose Road and Landsdowne Road. Though Kolkata lacks a true high street till date, Elgin Road is headed to become an upmarket high street. Leading this transformation is the Forum Mall (1,86 lakh sq.ft.) which came up in early 2003. Forum houses the Inox multiplex besides a host of high-end brands. The revamping of New Market, near Chowringee would release an additional retail space of approximately 3.5 lakh sq.ft. in the CBD by the year 2010. New malls are being planned and proposed on AJC Bose Road, Chowringee, Strand Road and Park Street. This will translate in approximately 17.1 lakh sq.ft. of fresh retail space in the CBD micro-market by 2008.
Kolkata Retail Market Overview: 2006

Current Scenario Over the last three-four years Kolkata has witnessed increased activity in the organised retail segment, thanks to the lucrative incentive packages doled out by the West Bengal State government in order to attract industry and capital to the City and other regions of the state. The IT/ITES, services and manufacturing sectors are all picking up, which in turn is creating more employment and higher income for the populace, mostly for the young. This is translating into higher disposable incomes and an earning for quality products, services, which the organised retail fraternity seems determined to provide. The most pronounced regions of new real estate growth in Kolkata are East and South-East corridors. The demand for retail and office space, though still high in the Central Business District, is also spreading to areas like Rajarhat, Sector V, Salt Lake and the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass (EM Bypass). Currently, the retail sector in the city is a mix of local retailers and many national and international brands. One important

Kolkata Commercial As per information with Cushman & Wakefield, in the first half of 2007 has seen limited addition (approximately 5 lakh sq.ft) of commercial space in the City, most of which is in Rajarhat and Salt Lake. But on-going projects suggest that by the end of the year Kolkata is likely to have an additional 32.5 lakh sq.ft of commercial space. Also, the 130 acre SEZ coming up at the Bantala IT Park where companies like Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, Patni Computers are setting up campuses is likely to go abuzz by 2008-end. This will generate additional demand for retail as well. (commercial info: DTZ)
Supply Geographical extent of the city is increasing; with development happening in all suburbs and over five million sq.ft of fresh office space is expected to be added in 2007. Significant activity is happening in the eastern suburbs of Kolkata, i.e, areas of Salt Lake and New Town with most major developers who have a pan India presence and other international developers coming establishing their footprint.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Absorption The year 2006 has witnessed absorption equivalent to and touched nearly four million sq.ft and as per estimates for 2006, with 1.92 million sq.ft of the total supply coming online in 2007 is already committed. Kolkata is expected to witness absorption of 4.89 million sq.ft in 2007. This would maintain the rentals at the current levels in the short term as developers do tend to delay the completion of projects in which spaces havent been leased pre-completion of the project. There have been a few large transactions towards the end of 2006 and in case that trends continues it will imbalance the demand and supply equation. Supply The Kolkata office space market is expecting an estimated supply of 8.1 million sq.ft in 2007. Rentals Rental values in the suburbs of Salt Lake and Rajarhat are expected to remain stable in the short term. However, if the increase in demand is greater than expected, then developers, who have delayed construction activity, would not be able to deliver their projects in time to match the demand. This could lead to a short-term supply crunch and push the rental and capital values upwards. Kolkata requires significant piling work to strengthen the foundation due to the soft alluvial soil, which adds three to five months to the normal construction time. Bhubaneswar India's IT-ITES sector as also established retail and retail players and mall developers are now exhibiting interest in exploring destinations other than the seven major cities, namely, Bangalore, NCR (Delhi), Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and Kolkata. Bhubaneshwar is one of these emerging centres.

GROWTH DRIVERS
Demand Commercial space absorption has steadily grown in Kolkata ever since the change in leadership of the state in 2001. Conducive policy framework with proactive support from the sate government and bureaucracy has improved perception of the general socio-political environment in the city and the State on the whole.
Bhubaneshwar, Orissa's major business and trading centre, is one out of the three planned capital cities of India. The economy of the city is dominated by the service sector. The new city was planned on the northwest side of the old city located along the coast. At present though the real estate prices in the city are quite stable, the city is witnessing a lot of activity across various real estate segments. The state government is taking serious initiatives towards the development of infrastructure and IT/ITES industry in the state. Bhubaneshwar has already emerged as an IT destination on the countries map. Majority of the residential & IT/ITES developments in the city are concentrated on the northern side of the city at Chandrashekharpur and the surrounding areas, where an IT Park has come up. The retail and commercial property markets are centered in old city, which is the commercial hub of the city. A buoyant real estate (in the residential and commercial real estate categories) and presence of few national / international retail brands in the city provides opportunities to various brands and projects bright prospects for retail real estate development in the city. The potential areas for retail development
are along the BhubaneshwarCuttack Highway and Chandrashekharpur in the vicinity of the IT/ITES Park. As of now, there is only one mall in the city, the Forum Mart, which became operational in 2004. Raipur Raipur, the capital city of Chhattisgarh, is situated right in the centre of the state, with Mahanadi River to its east and thick forests to the south. Raipur is one of the biggest iron markets of the country and is also a major centre of trade and business activities of the entire Chhattisgarh region, which is popularly known as the 'Rice bowl of the country'. The city has also been referred to as the 'agricultural-processing and saw-milling town'. The real estate market received an impetus after the city became the capital of the newly formed Chhattisgarh State. Raipur has a dense core dominated with retail, commercial and institutional activities. The GE Road (NH-6) is the main spine of the city and major real estate development is happening along this corridor. The retail real estate in Raipur can be classified in to traditional specialised markets and the newly emerging retail
317
areas. The newly emerging retail areas are along the GE Road with the stretch between Tati Bandh to Teli Bandha emerging as the most active retail destination in the city. Sharda Chowk and Jaistambh Chowk have emerged as the hub of retail destinations in the city. Raipur has seen quite a few shopping centers (operational and under construction) in the recent years. The majority of these are located on the GE Road and Ring Road 1. The most prominent is the Lal Ganga City Mall, which is regarded as a landmark development in organised mall type retail development in the city. It is located on GE Road near Jaistambh Chowk. There are three more malls under construction and by 2009 there will be more than 23 lakh sq.ft of mall space available in the city. With governments plan for development of the new capital city, the real estate sector is sure to witness an upward trend in all the categories in the next two years. The city is still a virgin market for international brands in retail. In the present Raipur, G E Road would remain as the most important corridor for retail real estate development.

Malls in NCR and Sonepat thus have more open un-built space as compared to those in the other cities. The average ratio as between mall space and gross leasable area gives an indication of the size of atrium and free movement space within the mall. Here again, for Delhi NCR malls the ration of mall space to GLA is as 1 : 0.67 as compared to 1 : 0.94

National Capital Region (NCR) Current Scenario

India is in the midst of the retail boom and especially the NCR region is witness to the fast changing scenario. The way retailing is done has undergone a paradigm shift with more retailers organising and consolidating their operations. With retail getting more organized, theres substantial demand for quality retail space for retailer s to show case their products. NCR with a relatively high income as well as lifestyle conscious population has further accelerated the retail boom. The conscious population now demands higher levels of service in the form of ambience, facilities or accessibility, etc. With the consumers accepting the mall culture, more and more retailers ventured the mall route for all the facilities and target audience as well service levels that are associated with the mall s. The first mall to come up in NCR, was the Ansal Plaza and since then there has been no looking back. Presently the NCR region has a retail space of about 10.035 million sq,ft. Of this Gurgaon and Ghaziabad together account for 54%. In two years time, it is expected to grow to 26.6 million sq,ft.. The entire scenario is fast changing with the relaxation of various policy guidelines and opening up of the real estate

sector. In Delhi for instance,, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) are auctioning land in prime residential areas and various other locations which are now fast becoming retail hotspots with affluent customers in the catchment area. And this has augmented the release of new space for development of shopping malls, multiplexes and entertainment hubs. Along with the relaxation of guidelines, newer case sensitive issues are also coming within the purview. As was the case of

the demolition drive of MCD, which in one way acted as a boon for the mall owners in NCR. Even the judicial issues like the Supreme Court order to close all showrooms, shops and retail outlets in unauthorised areas throughout Delhi, raised a number of issues as it would result in shutting down of the major retail outlets in Ring Road in South Extension and Lajpat Nagar. This drive is expected to have a fall-out even in the Highstreet shopping locations like Greater Kailash I and II, South Extension, West Patel Nagar, Defence Colony, etc. The various issues and guidelines have affected in both positive as well as negative ways, the overall mall growth scenario. As in case of the Supreme Court decision in Delhi with regard to closure of showrooms in unauthorized areas has acted as a breather for the mall owners who were experiencing a slide in their mall rentals. With the malls being set-up with prior approvals from various authorities is a far safer bet for retailers to take up space even if there is a opportunity cost involved in the form of higher rentals. With the fast changing scenario, the mall owners are again witnessing a spurt in demand . Quite a few mall owners identifying the latent potential have already hiked up their prices by about 20-25%.,
to name among the few .Vasant Kunj is also generating a lot of interst with several developers coming up with mall projects and many more in the offing These areas are witness to big projects and these trend is expected to generate substantial retail space in the area. Even West Delhi is fast becoming a hub of retailers with a number of mall projects in locations like Rohini, Pitampura, Shalimar Baug and Rajouri Garden. With the upcoming Commonwealth Games in 2010, the East Delhi region too is gearing up in the direction. Various infrastructure development activities are also in the pipeline. With the development of basic infrastructure, Eastern Delhi will become more accessible and will soon have visible presence in the retail radar. The area also a large population base of over3 million which is a major driver and can generate footfalls of over 25,000 on weekends. Though these part of Delhi is mostly inhabitated by a population falling in lower-middle to middlemiddle class bracket, may not easily see very large and exclusive high-end retailers or brands, but with the explosion of the city, the scenario may soon take a different path with the more neorich class steering the retail momentum.
DELHI
Presently Delhi has approximately 4.11millionsq.ft. of organised retail space, and this includes malls and multiplexes like Ansal Plaza, , Pacific North, TDI Mall, Cross River Mall, etc. Over 20 new malls are expected to be added up with an estimated area of 14 million sq.ft. of organised retail space by 2010. Among Delhis prime locations, the South Extension market is the most evolved highstreetAlmost all major high-end brands and retailers have presence through their exclusive and flagship stores with the location commanding a visibility, accessibility as well affluent shoppers. A number of locations aroud Delhi too are emerging as hotbeds of retail like Saket and Vasant Kunj. A number of developers have there malls coming in these areas. Notable among them are DLF with two malls, The Courtyard and The South Court in Saket, then theres the Suncity Projects
GURGAON
Gurgaon is the most developed commercial and business centre of Haryana, located on the outskirts of Delhi. It is spread over 2,766 sq km and has a population of over 600,000. The industrial areas around Gurgaon house most of the automobile and auto component manufacturers in the state. Gurgaon also has a number of garment export units. During the last 3-4 years, Gurgaon has emerged as an important location for the Information Technology (IT) and the Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) industry in the state. Gurgaon stands next to Bangalore as the outsourcing hub of India. With a vibrant youth populace as well as major business centers in the vicinity, has further accelerated the growth of the city with prime residential developers coming up with major projects over the last few years. Further, with the addition of the newer complexes housing affluent and younger population with high income salaries has augmented the development and is emerging as another major retail destinations. Gurgaon boasts of a substantial number of malls with over 15 existing malls and many more in the pipeline By 2010, over 13 million sq.ft of retail spcae is likely to be available in Gurgaon thus accounting for a new retail space infusion in the NCR region. But a rather new phenomenon being seen in these region is the upcoming of more projects catering to mixed clientele. The mall developers identifying the various issues involved in the mall
178
development is now opting for newer combination of tenant mixes to make their projects more feasible. More and more mall projects are upcoming with a combination of retail, office and hotel as their tenants. The mall developers are planning out their projects keeping in view the imbalance that can be created by over supply of mall space and many are reworking their tenant mix or incorporating major changes be it leasing out the upper floors of the mall for hotel or service apartments. With Gurgaon becoming a major business hub, many developers are also leasing out there spaces as offices. With the stand alone retail projects not generating enough revenues, the new concept of mixed use developments are thus changing the way retailing is done. Mall Projects like Orchid Plaza, Central Plaza, Orchid Agora, Time Towers, etc. are a few examplesthat can be named that are working on newer dimensions and re-inventing the retail developments.
Developrs, Shipra, Bansal Group etc. have their mall projects in Ghaziabad. Faridabad is also catching up with its neighbouring areas with a number of malls and retail options to cater to its consumers. As per Knight Frank Research,the area is expected to witness an influx of 1.12 million.sq.ft. of new retail space by 2008
OUTLOOK
With around 79malls (totaling to over 30 millionsq.ft.) is slated to be operational by 2010, NCR market is going to lead the retail real estate development in India. Developers are vying with a number of options to differentiate their malls on the basis of product offering and tenant mix. More and more large format malls (over 300,000 sq.ft.)are being set up with a number of amenities in its array. The concept of mall hotel too is gaining ground with a number of developers leasing out their upper floors for hotel projects, Earlier the upper floors were rented to the multiplexes but the new concept of mall hotel too is picking up as the hotel industry is witnessing an unprecedented growth in average room rates and room occupancy rates. Pacific Mall in Delhi has already set up a budget hotel, Clarks Inn, in its premises other developers are expected to follow the trend soon in various malls. Highstreet retail in places like South Extension, Connaught Place, Greater Kailash, Vasant Kunj, etc. would still continue to rule and command high prices due to lack of fresh supplyin prime locations. Some new micro-markets are coming up and a few are adding more space to its existing total retail space like Defence Colony andtheDistrict Centre of Jasola are among the few. Noida and Ghaziabad are the emerging markets for large format retail development with reasonable real estate costs, land availability, low cost labour being the prime differentiators and movers attracting the developers to these areas. Besides this, the inflow of IT/ITES multi nationals to these locations have also generated interest in the region and the demand for new age retail and entertainment avenues.
NOIDA
Another prime area which is fast becoming a shoppers destination is Noida. It is basically a prime residential location in anindustrial belt, This region too is fast witnessing tremendous growth with the influx of many multi-nationals (mainly IT/ITES), and a number of other offices has also come up in the region. With these a large number of people are making Noida there home. Noida with a good infrastructure is fast gaining retailers attention to cater to the growing region. Another, advantage being the location, with its close proximity to major cities of the region, it enjoys traffic which is both regular as well as transit population. And these population is one of the major movers of retail developments. Besides, a number of international brands and retailers have set up offices at Noida like McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Benetton, etc. At present the Noida retail market consists of less than a million sq.ft of retail organised space. As per Knight Frank Research, approximately 7.9 million sq.ft. of new retail space is underway is expected by 2008. The city is also host to a number of large retail establishments like The Great India Mall Down Square and Citi Centre which are expected to become functional by 2008. In the span of next two years, Noida is going to have an additional supply of 3.6 million.sq.ft. of organised retail space.
REST OF NCR
Faridabad and Ghaziabad together will account for about 3 million sq.ft of retail space by 2008 thus adding to the total retail space in NCR Ghaziabad too is emerging as another retail hub. Its proximity to Delhi has further helped in the development of industries and several real estate projects in the region Ghaziabad has a number of malls operational and quite a few are in th offing. . The region is expected to have over 3 million sq.ft of retail space by 2010. Quite a number of major developers like Parsavnath
179
Shifts in consumer demand for luxury goods and the entry of foreign retailers have increased the demand for quality retail space. The concept of shopping has undergone a total change and has now become more of an event and a family entertainment avenue. The large format malls are now turning into destinations in themselves and have the right mix of shopping and entertainment all under one roof. With many more mall to come up in the NCR market, a risk of supply outstripping the demand is envisaged unless a proper balance is maintained with regards to various critical parameters.Moreover, development of projects with a proper feasibility study, favourable location, right retail mix and a well laid out operational and marketing strategy will determine the road ahead and success of the future malls.

RETAIL REAL ESTATE IN SOUTH INDIA
The total supply of shopping centre space in South India by end-2008 will be 19.02 million sq.ft, accounting for an increase of more than 12 million square feet of mall space over the 6.84 million to be available by end-2007. According to IMAGES F&R Research data, the rate of growth in shopping centre space, which was only 23.1 percent in 2006 is to increase to 37 percent growth in 2007 and is likely to be a whopping 178 percent increase in 2008 if projects materialise in time. There was a brief de-acceleration in the growth in 2006, mainly on account of the fact that a good number of mega mall projects in the South (for instance, those of Mantri Developers in Bangalore) that had been slated to become operational by 2006-07, either never took off or got stalled due to various reasons. But now since many of these stalled projects are on again and newer projects have been announced, the growth rate is expected to take off in a big way. As per the progress in construction of mall projects in South India and also the feedback from developers, the number of operational malls will increase from 21 in 2007 to 76 in year 2010. Most of these are mega projects and as a result the growth in supply of quality retail space will be greater than the increase in number of malls. From 68.4 lakh square feet in 2007, mall space will increase to nearly 476 lakh square feet in 2010. Chennai has the distinction of giving the country its first modern mall, the Spencer's Plaza way back in 1990.
Till date it is the largest operational mall in the region, having 18.5 lakh square feet of built-up floor space and 13 lakh square feet of gross leasable area. Mangal Tirth Estate Ltd was the developer. Chennai had its second mall 16 years later in 2006 with the opening of Chennai City Centre at Dr RK Salai. However, the second mall in the region came up in year 2000: the MPM Mall from the Abid's Group. Both these early mover cities in the South rested for a good while before starting off in the malling activity after the initial mall. The warming up started in Bangalore in 2004 with the launch of the very successfully executed Prestige Group mall, The Forum. Besides Bangalore, Hyderabed and Chennai, mall development in the South is also picked up in cities like Kochi (one operational and five by 2010) and Mysore (one operational and four by 2010). Coimbatore will have two malls by 2009 while Vijayavada will have two operational malls a year earlier. The average ratio of land area to mall space for Bangalore is as 1 : 2.44 while for Hyderabad it is 1 : 4.65 ; for Chennai it is slightly lower at 1 : 3.66 ; in Kochi it is 1 : 3.52 and the land to mall space ratio is again closer to that of Bangalore in Mysore (1 : 2.69). This implies that malls either have more levels in centres other than Bangalore and Mysore or there is less open space outside. The average ratio as between mall space and gross leasable are gives an indication of the size of atrium and
274
free movement space within the mall. Here again, Bangalore malls are better placed with a ration of mall space to GLA as 1 : 0.48 as compared to 1 : 0.53 in in Hyderabad, 1 : 0.63 in Chennai and 1 : 0.76 in Kochi. With regard to projected shopping centre space in South India by 2007-end, Bangalore will account for 39 percent; followed by Chennai (33 percent), Hyderabad (15 percent) and Mysore accounting for nearly eight percent of the mall space pie, respectively. That leaves about five percent of available shopping centre space for other southern centres. Chennai has the distinction of giving the country its

BANGALORE Bangalore has traditionally been a leader in supermarkets which was initiated by Nilgiris and the then RPG Group's Foodworld outlets. The concept of large format, department stores like Lifestyle, Shoppers' Stop and Westside has also become popular in the city. The city is currently witnessing a shift towards large hypermarkets like Big Bazaar, Metro Cash & Carry, Jumbo Saver, etc. Encouraged by the success of the eight operational malls (The Forum, Garuda Mall, Sigma Mall, Bangalore Central, Eva Mall, The Pavilion, Gopalan and now Total), developers are putting in place plans for new mall space in the city. Cashing in on the
278
existing catchment, retail activity is now spreading to new residential and office locations. Besides the traditional high streets of Brigade Road, MG Road and Commercial Street, new locations like Lavelle Road, CMH Road and 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar, are emerging as the hottest retail locations. With 20 malls in various stages of planning, it is estimated that the additional mall area from upcoming projects in Bangalore will be approximately 12 million sq.ft by 2010. The sudden spurt in economic activity in 2004-05 created a shortage of space and this has pushed up retail rentals significantly. Brigade Road currently attracts the highest rental value at Rs.320/sq.ft/month. The steepest increase in rates is
noticed in Indiranagar (146 percent). Considering the average retail rental across years, it is currently at a high of around Rs.240/sq.ft/month. The movement of commercial office space to suburban locations like Whitefield, Koramangala and Sarjapur Road have made these areas attractive to increased retail investment. New retail developments are also coming up in Jayanagar, Bannerghatta Road and Hosur Road in South Bangalore. Overall, the retail sector in Bangalore is expected to accelerate 2007 onwards. HYDERABAD Hyderabad retail market has always been a high volume and a cash-rich market. Increased consumer demand, improved sourcing options and easy availability of real estate have created the foundation for significant growth in the organised retail sector. Banks and automobile showrooms form the bulk of demand for retail space leased out in the CBD of Begumpet. Global and national apparel and F&G brands have made a strong entry into Hyderabad.
279
The major retail hubs of Hyderabad are Basheerbaag, AbidsNamapalli and Ameerpet. Leading brands like Nike, Proline, Stanza, Pantaloons, Woodlands, Food World, Reliance Fresh, ITC Chaupal Fresh and Fresh@ have already opened their outlets here. Most outlets, however, are located as standalone retail
CHENNAI A pioneer in promoting the mall culture in India in the early '90s, with Spencer Plaza, Chennai however has not seen the emergence of many new malls apart from Chennai Citi Centre and the near complete Ampa Centre mall. But now the scene is hotting up with nine more malls planned to impact the market in the next three years. Of the nine malls coming up in various parts of the city, four are scheduled to come up on the Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) stretch. More than 10 million sq.ft of mall space is estimated to be added on in the next three years taking the city's total mall space to 12.5 million square feet by year 2010 as per IMAGES F&R Research estimates. The important high streets of the city include the CBDs of Anna Salai, Nungambakkam, T Nagar and Pondy Bazaar. Other prominent shopping destinations are the suburban markets of Anna Nagar, RK Salai, Besant Nagar and Egmore.
formats or in small commercial complexes. On account of heavy traffic and unplanned growth, there is a shortage of parking space. With the CBD and off-CBD of Begumpet and Somajiguda becoming saturated, most retail activity is presently centred around the suburban locations of Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills. The retail triangle of Somajiguda-Raj Bhavan Road, Panjagutta and Banjara Hills Road No.1 has today become a prime shopping destination. Currently there is more than one million mall space available in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad together and it is estimated that around 7.5 million sq.ft of mall space will be added from about 10 more malls coming up by 2010; that is, there will be a total of 16 operational malls with more than 8.5 million square feet of prime retail space. By year 2010, the present retail locations and high streets of Banjara Hills and other suburban retail markets will get saturated, resulting in a shift of retail focus to the city's outskirts and newer peripheral locations.
A recent retail trends in Chennai has been the development of concentrated retail hubs within developed residential pockets such as Adyar in South Chennai. Most leading brands have already opened outlets in these areas to service the ready catchment. Despite the fact that mall development in the city is still in its initial phase, retailers are changing their view and preferring organised retail space over traditional established locations. Corporate investments and the presence of foreign multinational companies have added to the drive to modernise retail network. However, concerns regarding the feasibility and capability of the market to absorb the quantum of retail space supply remain. KOCHI Cochin is the second most important city on the western coast after Mumbai. It is the largest city of Kerala and the commercial and industrial capital of the state. Cochin is also a major port and ranks among first 11 major ports in India and is also the second largest Naval base after Goa on western coast.
280
Kochi's retail real estate can be broadly divided into two categories traditional/established markets and emerging retail areas. The majority of the retail developments in the city are located in the traditional high street areas. MG Road is the main high street retail destination of the city followed by Banarji Road and Marine Drive Road. The emerging retail areas are concentrated along the NH 47 by-pass road and along the NH 47 at Edappally. Many apparel brands and jewelry showrooms are located at MG Road, while automobile showrooms and the upcoming Gold Souk are at the bypass road. The development of Kinfra Park at Kakkanad and Cochin SEZ at Seaport Airport road has further fuelled the development in Kakkanad and surrounding localities. Kochi had its first and only operational mall, the Bay Pride from Abad Builders, in January 2006. From this small 66,000 square feet mall, the city is now gearing up to taste the warmth of a mega 10.7 lakh square feet The Forum mall from Bangalore's Prestige group. By 2010 the city will have five operational malls offering a total of 21.1 lakh square feet of quality shopping environment. Most of Kochi's upcoming developments are concentrated in the suburbs and outgrowths. The city is growing along the major transportation corridors like NH 47 by-pass, Seaport Airport Road and other major transportation corridors, generally on the northeastern side of the city. Kaloor-Kadavanthara road, Vytilla, Kakkanad etc are upcoming residential destinations, while the bypass road, Seaport Airport Road are the retail-commercial/IT potential destinations for the future development. MYSORE The CBDs of D Devaraj URS Road, Sayajji Rao Road and Sivaram Peth are Mysore's traditional market areas. D Devaraj URS Road has silk showrooms, jewellery, apparel, footwear and electronics outlets. Sayajji Rao Road has apparel, jewellery, home stores, saree stores and kirana shops. Sivaram Peth also houses jewellery, electronics, stationery and apparel outlets.
Grand Mall from IDEB Projects is the first mall to have opened up in the city early this year. It offers 5.6 lakh square feet of retail space. In the next two years, by 2009 end, the city will have four operational malls with a total mall space of over 15.5 lakh square feet. The emergent retail stretches in the city include Gokulam Main Road, VV Mohalla, Kalidasa Road, etc. COIMBATORE Coimbatore's real estate market had, in the past, been overly dependent on the textile industry. However, in the last decade, Coimbatore has seen a shift from the secondary sector (manufacturing) to trade and commerce. Many mills in the city have either shutdown or shifted to locations outside the city. Furthermore, since the last 2-3 years, there is a lot of hectic activity in the IT sector as Software companies are keenly looking at setting up of software development units in the city. The IT and services Industry boom in Coimbatore is also palpable with the enhanced activity in real estate and retail business. This is evident due to presence of a number of real estate companies such as Land Marvel, Sahara Homes and Appaswamy Real Estates, coming to Coimbatore. Major construction activities are visible in areas like Vadavalli, Kovai Pudur, Peelamedu, Kaudampalayam and Trichy Road. Two huge malls are coming up in the city: the 6.82 lakh square feet Fun Republic from E-City Entertainment and the 12.5 lakh square feet The Grand from the PS Group. Both are lovcated on Avnish Road and both are likely to be operational in year 2009. These developments are clear indication that Coimbatore's centre of retail activity is shifting towards south-eastern part of the city, which includes Trichy Road, Avanashi Road and Arts College Road. Currently the prime retail locations in Coimbatore are Avinashi Road, Trichy Road, DB Road, Mettupalayam Road and Race Course Road. Guntur, Vijayavada, Calicut, Hubli, Madurai, Trivandrum, Mangalore, Madurai and Calicut are some of the other smaller cities in the South where mall projects have started off.

RETAIL REAL ESTATE IN WEST & CENTRAL INDIA

The total supply of shopping centre space in Western India by end-2007 will be 20.38 million sq.ft from 75 operational malls, which will be an increase of nearly 75 percent over the space available in end-2006. However, till August 2007 only 47 malls were operational with 13.1 million square feet of built-up floor space and a good 33 projects are in the completion stage hoping to make it by the year-end. According to IMAGES F&R Research data, the rate of growth in shopping centre space in the Western region, which was up to 2006 largely confined to Mumbai and its suburbs, is now declining. From nearly 250 percent growth in mall space in 2005, it declined to a 118 percent growth in 2006 and will settle to around 75 percent growth in 2007. But with the increased base year after year, the current growth rate is exceedingly strong. The number of operational malls in the west zone will increase from 75 in 2007 to 137 in year 2011. A good many of the newer developments are mega projects with about 10 lakh square feet and above mall space and such projects are taking roots in the tier-II cities as well. From 20.38 million square feet in 2007, mall space will more than double to nearly 55 million square feet in 2011. Mumbai's Crossroad Mall from Piramal Holdings was among the earliest of the malls in India. Nirmal Lifestyle at Mulund, with 4.5 lakh square feet of space, came next followed by the R Mall from the Runwal Group. The next landmark development was the Inorbit mall at Malad followed by the nine lakh sq.ft Phoenix at Lower Parel in 2005. Among the mega projects under construction are two 25 lakh plus sq.ft malls -- one from Kshitij Investments at LBS Marg in Kurla (for September 2009) and another from DLF Retail Developers at NTC Mills in Lower Parel. There are also two 10 lakh plus sq.ft projects from the Runwal Group (Ghatkopar) and Nirmal Lifestyle (Mulund West). The average ratio of land area to mall space for Mumbai is as 1 : 1.79 while for Pune it is 1 : 1.5 ; for Ahmedabad it is higher at 1 : 2.95 ; in Nagpur it is 1 : 2.61 and the land to mall space ratio for Indore is 1 : 2.84 while the average for the other cities is 1 :

2.02. Malls in Mumbai and Pune thus have more open un-built space as compared to those in the other cities. The average ratio as between mall space and gross leasable area gives an indication of the size of atrium and free movement space within the mall. Here again, for Mumbai malls the ration of mall space to GLA is as 1 : 0.65 as compared to 1 : 0.78 in Pune, 1 : 0.597 in Ahmedabad, 1: 0.66 in Nagpur, 1 : 0.85 in Indore and 1 : 0.66 is the average in the rest of the western cities. Till 2006 the share of Mumbai in the total mall space available in the western zone was a dominating 73 percent -- the domination continues but the share is to get reduced to 67 percent by end-2007. Major gainers are Pune, whose share will increase form five percent a year ago to seven percent, while Ahmedabad's share
doubles from four percent to eight percent and Nagpur increases its share from six percent to eight percent.
MUMBAI
Current Scenario Rising consumerism and increasing purchasing power has led to a significant growth of the organised retail market in Mumbai. However, South Mumbai, one of the most enviable addresses in the country, has lost some of its sheen. Burdened infrastructure, lack of space for new construction and high real estate costs has limited retail development in this part of the city. Lured by easy availability of land and lower real estate prices, families and businesses alike have moved to the suburbs. This has led to immense growth of the retail

sector in the suburban locations. Several malls have sprung up in the suburbs and many more are in the pipeline, so much so that experts apprehend a situation of mall over-supply in the coming times. As on date, Greater Mumbai boasts of 33 operational malls, totaling to about 9.12 mn.sq.ft. Notably, more than 50% of the malls adding up to a cumulative retail stock of approximately 4.45 mn.sq.ft., are located in
the Western Suburbs. The new generation of consumers is more discerning towards brands and their demand is drawing many retailers to the Indian markets. Around 23 new malls will be added to MMR by end-2008 and this will translate to approximately 15.18 mn.sq.ft. of new retail space.

Island City Crossroads at Tardeo, CR2 at Nariman Point and Highstreet Phoenix at Lower Parel continue to enjoy their dominant status in organised retail in the Island City, though they somewhat pale in comparison to their glitzy and spacious counterparts only a few miles away in the suburbs. The sale of mill land in the Central Mumbai region is likely to create a considerable supply of land for residential and commercial development. This would create the requisite catchment as well as an opportunity for future retail developments. Central Suburbs and Thane Over the last 18-24 months, a number of malls have mushroomed in the Central Suburbs and Thane belt. This has been aided by the availability of land and a rapidly growing population. The erstwhile industrial plots of defunct factories in Vikhroli, Bhandup, Mulund and Thane micro-markets have been converted into commercial developments by promoters. Like in other locations, most of the malls in the Central Suburbs like R-Mall, Nirmal Lifestyle at
234
Mulund and Huma Adlabs at Kanjurmarg are Family Entertainment Centers (FECs) and integrate a multiplex with the retail component. Increasing population with high disposable income and purchasing power in their catchment areas has led to the success of these malls. Thane has emerged as a popular destination for malls, both from the developers and the consumers perspective. The rise in population in this developing suburb has led to increased footfalls in the existing malls and created demand for new ones. Thane currently boasts of about seven operational malls, five more are in various stages of construction. These will infuse 1.7 mn.sq.ft. of new retail space in this micro-market.
In recent times, a number of Grade-A residential projects have come up in the Central Suburbs belt. This has led to a number of malls being constructed and planned here and some of the largest malls of Mumbai are being developed on this stretch. These includes R-City Centre (1,122,000 sq.ft.) at Ghatkopar, Dreams Mall (600,000 sq.ft.) at Vashi. Central suburbs, which currently has 16% of the total retail space in Mumbai will see an infusion of close to around 6.5 mn.sq.ft. of new retail space by 2008. Western Suburbs The Western Suburbs from Bandra to Borivali have witnessed a spurt of development in the residential, office and retail segments. A number of malls have come up along the Link Road and Western Express Highway. Some of the malls have been developed adjacent to and as part of large residential projects and thus have an ensured customer base. New retail developments (malls and multiplexes) are being planned in existing retail destinations of Bandra and Andheri and also in locations like Kandivali, Borivali and Vasai. Close to 22 malls with an average size of 250,000-300,000 sq.ft. are coming up in this micro-market. According to Knight Frank Research, approximately 6.4 mn.sq.ft. of new retail space will be added in the Western Suburbs and this will account for 37% of the new retail space in MMR by 2008. Navi Mumbai In the recent years, Navi Mumbai has become an important IT/ITES hub. Software parks by CIDCO, MIDC, Haware, RCL and Rahejas have given it the requisite image of being an IT destination. This coupled with the 35,000 acres Reliance SEZ (size likely to be curtailed as a result of new policy announcements) coming up in the region and firming up of plans of making the second international airport, has transformed Navi Mumbai into an important real estate micromarket.

Various mid to high-end residential projects are underway in Navi Mumbai and this will provide the required catchment for retail development. The potential target market, apart from the existing residential population arises from close to 45,000 IT/ITES industry workforce traveling to Navi Mumbai daily. This segment forms a large consumer base for the retail industry. By the end of 2008, it is expected that Navi Mumbai will have an addition of about 2.1 mn.sq.ft. of new retail space with malls like Inorbit (852,331 sq.ft.) in Vashi Outlook

retailing has grown manifold and has become the preferred retail format. The success of malls like Inorbit and Nirmal Lifestyle has shaken developers out of their cautious wait-andwatch approach and has encouraged new mall developments. Mumbai has the second highest density of malls in the country, just behind NCR. Luxury retail and lifestyle stores that require large spaces and an exquisite ambience have so far been restricted to Mumbai's five star hotels, but this may soon stand to change. They may be built as appendages to mid segment malls or else as standalone shopping destinations which provide an experience complete with a crche, seating area and tea/coffee lounge aimed at building brand loyalty. Lured by the high propensity to spend, many high-end brands are lined up to enter the market in the near future. Hypermarkets like Shoprite and Hypercity have been successful formats and have emerged as major crowd pullers. The popularity of the organised retail formats in the Island City and the suburbs has encouraged developers to replicate the same in the extended suburbs of Dahisar, Vasai and even Kalyan. Most of the large format malls have opted for leasing out of retail space resulting in effective mall management and ensuring higher returns in the long term. Sale of mall space may result in an inappropriate tenant mix and could hamper the growth prospects of a mall in the long term. In an interesting turn of events, it is expected that by 2008 the Central Suburbs will overtake the Western Suburbs in terms of mall space as larger malls are coming up in those locations. Till

date, the Western Suburbs have led the way, both in terms of mall development and retail space availability.
PUNE
Current Scenario Pune has been experiencing a retail boom since the last 2-3 years. In 2005, approximately 1.25 mn.sq.ft. of new retail space was added to Pune real estate market. This led the current retail stock of the city to grow to 3.5 mn.sq.ft. Growth in commercial activities and the migrant population of young, white-collar workers has been the chief driver of real estate growth in the city. With 23 mall projects in the pipeline, the city is expected to have cumulative retail stock of approximately 4.5 mn.sq.ft. by end-2006 and infusion of another 4.2 mn.sq.ft. of new retail space over the next two years. The total retail stock in Pune by end-2008 is estimated to be about 8.7 mn.sq.ft. The city has been witnessing an interesting trend of retail space being created in multiplex developments. There is also a reverse trend of movie screens being located in large format mall developments. Another noticeable trend in the retail format is the advent of specialty malls or niche malls. 'Ishanya Mall' developed by Pune-based Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd., would be a project dedicated exclusively to 'interiors and exteriors'. Central Locations The locations where retail developments have flourished traditionally are the highstreets of M.G. Road, F.C. Road and J.M.
Road in the central part of the city. These markets have a unique mix of local brands along with national and international retailers - both of which are known to generate substantial revenues along with heavy footfalls. However, the development of malls in the neighbouring locations is anticipated to affect the footfalls of these traditional highstreets. A case in point is the presence of Magnum Mall (175,000 sq.ft.) in the Camp area which has created a 'pull effect' on the consumer stronghold of M.G. Road. At present, organised retail by way of mall development in Pune is concentrated in the up-market highincome central locations of Camp and Bund Garden Road. Developer and retailers alike have been successful in their organised retail ventures in these micro-markets, more so due to the proximity of up-market residential catchment of these locations. Nucleus Mall (200,000 sq.ft.) in Camp, which became operational in 2005, had Shoppers Stop take up space for its second outlet in the city. Another largescale project, Pune Central (130,000 sq.ft.), a mall by Pantaloon Retail on Bund Garden Road, has Food Bazaar as its anchor tenant and caters to the domestic needs of the bulk of the resident population of central Pune. These retail markets in the central locations of the city currently house approximately 1.78 mn.sq.ft of retail stock. A new mall, Fun n Travel (100,000 sq.ft.) has been planned in the Bund Garden region while two malls, Ascent (93,654 sq.ft.) and One Centre Port (250,000 sq.ft.) are coming up on University Road. These developments are slated to enter the market by 2007. Suburban and Peripheral Locations While the retail markets in Camp and Bund Garden Road continue to mature, retail sector activity is increasingly
shifting to suburban and peripheral locations of Aundh, Hadapsar, Karve Road, Kondhwa and Yerawada-Kalyani Nagar. The Mumbai-based Piramyds Group is coming up with their Crossroads Mall (350,000 sq.ft.) at Yerwada-Kalyani Nagar and this will be operational by end-2007. Another noteworthy mall development, Sudev Axis (350,000 sq.ft.) would be operational by 2007. This micro-market is expected to witness a number of large-scale mall developments, amounting to approximately 2.3 mn.sq.ft. of new retail space by 2008. Together with the above, peripheral locations like Nagar Road and Kharadi are also developing up as IT hubs, thereby increasing the demand for ancillary services like quality retail space. Locations like Karve Road and Satara Road in the south-western part of the city, are all witnessing new mall developments. Among the important developments, 44 Sinew Hills (165,000 sq.ft.) and Kakde City mall (600,000 sq.ft.) are scheduled to be operational by 2007 and 2008 respectively. Outlook The retail sector in Pune has prospered and the retail space development in the city is on the rise. Organised retailing is increasingly shifting towards the newer residential pockets of Bavdhan, Hinjewadi, Baner, etc. and this trend is likely to continue. Moreover, the Yerwada-Kalyani Nagar region is anticipated to turn into an important retail hub of the city. With around eight proposed malls, the region would contribute to approximately 45% of the total new retail space by end-2008. The past year has seen a drastic transformation in the brands/retail occupier typology in Pune. Well-known national brands have not only entered the market but have also expanded with
multiple outlets in the city. This maybe attributed to the changing demographic structure of the city. The 'R.K. SwamyBBDO Guide to Urban Markets, 2005' has ranked Pune as the eighth richest city in the country. About 30% of the households in the city earn an annual income of over Rs. 140,000, while 26% of the population spends between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 100,000 on various goods and services. Given the size of the Pune retail market, the increase in population, the rise in income and with optimistic employment outlook, the amount of new retail development should be readily absorbed. NASHIK Nashik is an important commercial and religious centre in the state and has a population of 4.9 million. It has a significant presence of automobile and auto-components, engineering and grape processing industries. The major players in Nashik include Mahindra and Mahindra, Schneider Electric, Siemens and Crompton Greaves. It has seven industrial areas facilitating the industrial growth in the region, with a focus on engineering and automobiles. Nashik is a potential destination for engineering, food processing and biotechnology industries in the state.
NAGPUR
Nagpur has a population of approximately 4.5 million. It has excellent road and rail connectivity to all parts of the country. Its unique location in the Indian sub continent makes it a viable passenger and cargo hub. It is a growing industrial centre and has 10 industrial areas. It is home to reputed companies including Indo-Rama Synthetics, Electrolux and Voltas. It is a potential destination for food processing, chemicals and engineering industries.

KEY FINDINGS
The industry has come a long way, albeit in a very short span of time. The 126 percent growth in mall activity in 2004 was just the start-up of the engine following which growth rate climbed down to 99 percent in 2005 and further fell to 61 percent in 2006. All this while the solid foundation of the Indian Shopping Centre industry was being laid, mall space had increased from 8.4 million sq.ft in 2005 to 16.7 million sq.ft in 2006. In the second edition of the Malls in India 2005 research publication we projected a growth of 97.4 percent in 2005 and 61.7 percent in 2007, with 32.7 million sq.ft and 54.3 million sq.ft of mall space for the two years respectively. Today, when we take stock of the situation, we find that the clock is back by one year, mainly because several announced projects did not take off. The earlier projection of 87.8 million sq.ft of mall space by year 2007 is now likely to be achieved in year 2008 when there will be more than 290 operational malls. The positive side of the picture is that the growth rate was projected to be around 62 percent in 2007, which will now be in the vicinity of 76 percent. Based on the status of mall projects under progress, this growth will further accelerate to 85 percent in 2008, which will ensure availability of more than 154 million sq.ft of quality retail space in 2009. The market will be at a mature height by year 2010 with nearly 205 sq.ft of mall space. Even modest growth thereafter should be able to push the mall space supply in the country to a level beyond 350 million sq.ft by 2015, with more than 750 malls operational by then. This study also identifies 36 mega mall projects, each of these with a built-up floor space of more than 10 lakh (one million) sq.ft. The South zone accounts for 15 of these projects, the prominent ones being the Shobha Global Mall in Bangalore (29.9 lakh sq.ft), DLF Bangalore (36 lakh sq.ft), DLF Hyderabad (26.5 lakh sq.ft) and a project by Kshitij Investment in Chennai (23 lakh sq.ft). Prominent among the 10 mega mall projects in the West zone are DLFs mall in Lower Parel, Mumbai (26.15 lakh sq.ft), Prozone Golden Mall in Aurangabad (21.7 lakh sq.ft) and the Mumbai-Kurla Mall project by Kshitij (26 lakh sq.ft). There are 10 such mega mall projects identified in the North zone, which include the Mall of India at Gurgaon by DLF Retail Developers (55.23 lakh sq.ft).

NORTH ZONE FINDINGS

Total supply of shopping centre space in the Northern region by end-2007 will be 16.75 million sq.ft from 69 operational malls, which will be an increase of nearly 85.7 percent over the space available in end-2006. Till August 2007 only 53 malls were operational with 11.43 million sq.ft of built-up floor space and a good 16 projects are in the completion stage hoping to make it by the end of 2007. The number of operational malls in the North zone will increase from 69 in 2007 to 195 by 2011 Average ratio of land area to mall space for Delhi and the NCR is as 1 : 2.04, while for Jaipur it is 1 : 3.17; for Ludhiana it is higher at 1 : 3.64; in Lucknow it is 1 : 2.48 and the land to mall space ratio for Sonepat is the lowest at 1. For Delhi NCR malls the ration of mall space to GLA is as 1 : 0.67, as compared to 1 : 0.94 in Sonepat, 1 : 0.65 in Lucknow, 1: 0.42 in Ludhiana, 1 : 0.82 in Jaipur and 1 : 0.76 is the average in the rest of the northern cities.
WEST ZONE FINDINGS

Total supply of shopping centre space in Western India by end-2007 will be 20.38 million sq.ft from 75 operational malls, which will be an increase of nearly 75 percent over the space available in end-2006 As on August 2007 only 47 malls were operational with 13.1 million sq.ft of built-up floor space and a good 33 projects are in the completion stage hoping to make it by the year-end. Rate of growth in shopping centre space in the Western region, which was up to 2006 largely confined to Mumbai and its suburbs, is now declining. From nearly 250 percent growth in mall space in 2005, it declined to a 118 percent growth in 2006 and will settle to around 75 percent growth in 2007. Number of operational malls in the West zone will increase from 75 in 2007 to 137 by 2011.
Newer developments are mega projects with about 10 lakh sq.ft and above of mall space; and such projects are taking roots in the regions tier-II cities as well. From 20.38 million sq.ft in 2007, mall space will more than double to nearly 55 million sq.ft by 2011. Mumbais Crossroad Mall from Piramal Holdings was among the earliest of the malls in India. Average ratio of land area to mall space for Mumbai is as 1 : 1.79, while for Pune it is 1 : 1.5 ; for Ahmedabad it is higher at 1 : 2.95 ; in Nagpur it is 1 : 2.61 and the land to mall space ratio for Indore is 1 : 2.84; while the average for the other cities is 1 : 2.02. For malls in Mumbai the ration of mall space to GLA is as 1 : 0.65 as compared to 1 : 0.78 in Pune, 1 : 0.597 in Ahmedabad, 1: 0.66 in Nagpur, 1 : 0.85 in Indore and 1 : 0.66 is the average for the rest of the Western cities. Till 2006 the share of Mumbai in the total mall space available in the Western zone was a dominating 73 percent the domination continues but the share is to get reduced to 67 percent by end-2007. Major gainers are Pune, whose share will increase form five percent a year ago to seven percent, while Ahmedabads share doubles from four percent to eight percent and Nagpur increases its share from six to eight percent.
Besides Bangalore, Hyderabed and Chennai, mall development in the South has also picked up in cities like Kochi (one operational and five by 2010) and Mysore (one operational and four by 2010). Coimbatore will have two malls by 2009, while Vijayavada will have two operational malls a year earlier. Average ratio of land area to mall space for Bangalore is as 1 : 2.44, while for Hyderabad it is 1 : 4.65; for Chennai it is slightly lower at 1 : 3.66; in Kochi it is 1 : 3.52 and the land to mall space ratio is again closer to that of Bangalore in Mysore (1 : 2.69). Bangalore malls are better placed with a ration of mall space to GLA as 1 : 0.48 as compared to 1 : 0.53 in Hyderabad, 1 : 0.63 in Chennai and 1 : 0.76 in Kochi. Projected shopping centre space in South India by 2007-end, Bangalore will account for 39 percent; followed by Chennai (33 percent), Hyderabad (15 percent) and Mysore accounting for nearly eight percent of the mall space pie, respectively.
EAST ZONE FINDINGS

The East zone had its first mall in 2002 with The City Centre. By the end of this year there will be a total of 14 malls operational in the East, out of which nine are located in Kolkata and five in the other major urban centres. Together, these 14 malls will offer 11.91 million sq.ft of quality retail space. A total of 47 malls will be operational in the East by 2010. Besides Kolkata, maximum activity on this front is happening in Asansol, Guwahati, Raipur and Siliguri. Average ratio of land area to mall space for Kolkata is as 1 : 2.24, while for the other urban centres it is as 1 : 2.08. Kolkata malls have more movement space within (1 : 0.67) as compared to the other centres, where for every one square feet of mall space there is slightly larger GLA (1 : 0.69).
SOUTH ZONE FINDINGS
