Growth forecasts for the coming years are somewhat more modest. • Annual GDP growth of approx. 1.3% is foreseen for 2015. Growth is expected to increase to 1.8% in 2018 and will be supported by domestic demand and improving export growth. • Consumer confidence declined in the third quarter to -10, the lowest of the year, but the indicator improved to -8 in October thanks to a less pessimistic macro-economic outlook. • The retail sales indicator shows a declining growth in the past 3 months. The index of September 2015 stands at 102.43 vs. 104.17 end June. As a comparison, the same index for Germany is higher at 105.7, whereas the index for the Eurozone (19 countries) stood at 100.72.

In the third quarter alone 85,000 sq.m. were taken up, 19% up on the same quarter last year. The largest take-up volume of the quarter was recorded in retail warehousing, 41,500 sq.m., followed by high streets with 33,300 sq.m. and shopping centres with 11,000 sq.m. At the end of the third quarter 2015, 530 transactions had been registered, below the #560 recorded in the same period last year but 9% up on the 5-year average of 485. There were more transactions than the last 5 years in retail warehousing, 141 against a 5-y average of 111, and in high streets, 303 against a 5-y average of 264. Shopping Centres TAKE-UP UNDERPINNED BY DOCKS BRUXSEL The 22,800 sq.m. taken up in shopping centres represents 9% of the take-up of retail space so far this year. and the highest transaction volumes so far this year were pre-lettings in Docks Bruxsel, for a total of 4,350 sq.m. Recent transactions include Koezio (3,400 sq.m.), Maison Scotch (177 sq.m.) and Chala Coiffure (70 sq.m.). There were 5 lettings in Stadsfeestzaal on the Meir in Antwerp, including Habitat (3,000 sq.m.). Hans Anders and Hairdis let units in Wijnegem Shopping. 5 transactions were registered in Woluwe Shopping Center, where Essentiel let 177 sq.m. and Mer du Nord 125 sq.m. There was no transaction so far this year in the Waasland Shopping.

Two transactions were recorded in Médiacité (401 sq.m.), and one transaction in Galeries St-Lambert where JD Sports replaces River Woods (461 sq.m.). Retailer rotation in the main shopping centres in Belgium is limited and has a downward impact on transaction volumes. Retail Warehousing INCREASING IMPORTANCE OF RETAIL PARKS The volume taken up in retail warehousing, 141,000 sq.m., represents 58% of the retail take-up in Belgium. The volume transacted so far this year is 10% higher than the 5-year average for the first nine months. Take-up is boosted by recently completed retail park developments, often redevelopments of older industrial property. Retail parks are a trend that grows in importance versus individual retail warehousing units. The recently opened Be-Mine Retail Park attracted the highest volume this year, 15,500 sq.m. in 11 transactions, with retailers such as Brico, Albert Heijn, H&M, Ava, etc. In Aarschot, Action, Gamma, Albert Heijn, Maxizoo and Basic Fit opened in the new retail park Witte Molen. The largest transaction of the third quarter was the letting of 3,380 sq.m. in Grivegnée (Liège) by Nissan Belgium. “The arrival of new premium brands and the opening of state-of-the-art flagship stores prove the attractiveness of our AAA destinations.” WALTER GOOSSENS, HEAD OF RETAIL AGENCY Developer : Equilis - Architect : Art & Build 4 | pulse | BELGIAN RETAIL MARKET | www.jll.be Q3 2015 Take-up High Streets BRUSSELS With a take-up of 16,719 sq.m., high streets in Brussels performed 7% above their 5-year average in the first three quarters of the year.
