3. Kuwait Market Overview Real Estate Investment Opportunity

4. 4 Kuwait Market Overview The local real estate sector in Q2-2014 witnessed stability in terms of rents and value for all sectors. During 2013, Investment, industrial and commercial (retail) sectors increased by 5-10%, while the commercial office sector increased by 3-5% in value due to the increase in occupancy and rental rates. Investment sector property values stabilized during Q2-2014, after increase in rents and values in 2013 by 7% and 10% respectively. In Salmiya and Hawalli cap rates for violation-free buildings range between 6.25 – 6.75% while it ranges between 6.75 – 7.25% in Mangaf and Mahboula. Industrial properties in Shuwaikh and Al Rai areas stabilized in terms of value and rent during Q2-2014, after an increase in terms of values by up to 10% during 2013. Prime location properties are currently offered at 8.5-9% cap rate while secondary street properties are being offered at 9-10% cap rate. Commercial office & Retail sector witnessed an increase in value from property evaluators in 2013, and currently yielding 6.25-7.25% cap rate depending on the location of the building. We expect all sectors to continue stabilizing on the short term.
