\nOversupply will not continue

\nBy Mina Ondang
\nThe imbalance between new supply and demand growths in the last two years has caused the office occupancy rate in Jakarta\u2019s central business district to drop to 82 percent in Q2 2016 from 94 percent in 2014.
\nA total of more than 2 million square metres in office space is currently under construction and expected to be completed in the next 3 to 6 years, if developments go on schedule despite the weak market condition.
\nOversupply in the CBD office segment may not last forever. One of the reasons is that a high development cost may not justify the feasibility of a new office project. For example, despite the MRT project providing incentives to the land owner within the Transport Oriented Development, the cost of increasing plot ratio virtually remains equivalent to buying new land in the same location to build the same office.
\nRental is bottoming out
\nOur research forecasts CBD office occupancy will bottom out at slightly below 80 percent. We have seen projects sized more than a million sqm at design stage being postponed indefinitely as developers wait for the occupancy, rental rate, and sale price reach levels that justify the development cost.
\nThe high cost of increasing plot ratio becomes a natural stop gate for an oversupply of office properties in the future.
\nA period of decline in asking rental prices has just passed, especially with landlords of newly completed buildings being more cautious and more willing to negotiate to meet tenants\u2019 budget. We are starting to see that rental rate is bottoming out.
\nTime to invest
\nThe market indicated that asking prices in the CBD office sector have stopped increasing in the last few quarters, while transacted prices have become more reasonable and shown a market correction. After the first phase of tax amnesty, investors are more actively searching for suitable property that will serve their diversification purposes.
\nAs rental rates stop falling and investors become more active, capital values will start to increase. There are many strata-title office building options for either owner-occupiers or investors, but less than a handful en-bloc office buildings for sale especially within the CBD. This is a critical time to find the right property to invest.
