Happenings in
Cyberjaya Malaysia
The Pride of Cyberjaya Malaysia:
Since April 2011, more than 47 artists attached to the Cyberjaya-based Rhythm & Hues
have spent thousands of hours working on the original footages of Life Of Pi. The movie
clinched an Oscar for best visual effects marks an important milestone for the Malaysian
studio as it presented the team with an opportunity to prove itself capable of handling
complex processes within post-production stage, of creating the visuals that cinemagoers
get to see on screen.
The studio is part of a global team that is spread over seven locations, which include
Mumbai and Hyderabad (India), Vancouver (Canada) and Kaohsiung (Taiwan), and these
studios are not just linked to each other but more importantly, to the headquarters in Los
Angeles.
Apart from Life Of Pi, Rhythm & Hues Kuala Lumpur has stamped its mark in 18 films
including Snow White And The Huntsmen, Hunger Games and Knight And Day while
upcoming films include R.I.P.D, 300: Rise Of The Empire, Black Skies and Hunger Games 2.

Strategic Partnership:
In bid to grow the District Cooling Plant coverage in Cyberjaya Malaysia, Cyberview Sdn
Bhd enters into a partnership with Cofely (GDF SUEZ), where the latter acquires a 49%
stake in Pendinginan Megajana Sdn Bhd (Megajana).
Megajana is the sole supplier of piped chilled water and the developer of the district cooling
scheme for business premises in Cyberjaya Malaysia. To-date Megajana has spent more
than RM 160 million for the development of district cooling plants 1 and 2. The two plants
are currently supplying chilled water to 37 major buildings providing them 24/7 energy
efficient, cost-effective and reliable chilled water to buildings through a 15 km network of
underground pipes.
The Joint Venture between Cyberview and Cofely (GDF SUEZ) will cater to the rapid growth
of the upcoming development in this premier ICT hub and the corresponding rise in demand
for enterprise space. The partnership, in line with the Governments aspiration to develop
Cyberjaya Malaysia as the pioneer township in Green Technology, will play an important
role in enabling the economic and complement the strong growth prospects of Cyberjaya
Malaysia.

Demand/Occupancy
Steady demand mainly due to tenants expansions and some new set ups
Over the years, a large amount of office take up has been recorded by companies which
either expanded within Cyberjaya or new companies (usually multinational companies
with MSC - Multimedia Super Corridor - Malaysia status), which set up their operations
in Cyberjaya due to the generally lower operational costs available compared with other
locations in the region.
Global MNCs such as BMW, Ericsson, Fujitsu, HSBC, RBC Investor Services, HP, IBM
and Mahindra Satyam have all located in Cyberjaya. Data centre operators like NTT, CSF,
and Basis Bay and multinational shared services and outsourcing centres, such as Dell,
DHL and Shell have also set up operations in the city. Panasonic and Microsoft Innovation
Centre have set up research and development centres.
Following positive net absorption of 228,585 sq. ft. in 2012, the average Cyberjaya office
occupancy rate equated to 70.4%. This has mainly been due to the take-up of space by
Shell at Bangunan Lestari Kumpulan Emkay and the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation
and Management Planning Unit at MKN Embassy Tech Zone. Company expansions at
Cyberjaya have included EDS MSC Malaysia Sdn Bhd and SKMM Academy and new set
ups included Miki Shared service Centre and Kirkby International College.

Rents
Stable and competitive rents attract tenants
The average gross rentals for prime office buildings in Cyberjaya were stable during 2012
and range between RM3.50 and RM4.50 per sq. ft per month with the average gross rental
being recorded at RM4.38 per sq. ft. per month.
Landlords, particularly of buildings with relatively high occupancy rates, continued
to maintain rental rates as supply generally outweighed demand. Landlords with lower
occupancy rates were more willing to offer longer rent free periods to secure tenants.

Investment Market
Stable Market in 2012
Market Prices in Cyberjaya Malaysia
Despite a total of 17 buildings having been transacted in Cyberjaya between 2006 and 2011,
no office investment transactions were recorded in 2012. This was not due to an inactive
investor market, but due to the limited stock of buildings (mainly with vacant possession)
made available for sale.
The average market price of offices in Cyberjaya is estimated to range between RM450
and RM550 per sq. ft. However, higher prices have been achieved by some of the more
recent transactions such as Tabung Hajis purchase in 2011 of Bangunan Lestari Kumpulan
Emkay, which is now fully occupied by Shell, as its Shared Service Centre. The transaction
took place at a reported RM740 per sq. ft., reflecting a net yield of circa 7.0%.
With steady investor interest, mainly for income producing assets, from local investors,
average net yields for office buildings in the general office market are estimated to range
from 6.0% for prime grade offices in prime areas to 8.0% for offices situated in the more
secondary areas. This range of net yield provides a general guide and is by no means
definitive. Each property asset must be assessed based on the propertys location, physical,
economic and financial characteristics / merits and some of the high quality, fully occupied
office assets in the Klang Valley could command net yields marginally below 6.0%.
OUTLOOK
Manageable Oversupply
There is a substantial supply of unoccupied office space in Cyberjaya and more space,
albeit partly pre-committed, in the medium to longer term is expected to result in a steady
average occupancy rate and an effective oversupply scenario will therefore continue.
Several new office buildings have been identified as being at various stages of the planning
process, however, prudent research and due diligence is required as speculative office
development in Cyberjaya currently carries a high risk and some office building developers
will continue to seek pre-commitments before embarking on a project.

Demand/Occupancy
Competition for tenants will continue
In the immediate term new supply entering the market is limited and although a general
supply-demand imbalance scenario prevails and the more recently completed offices take
some time to become fully occupied, the occupancy rate is expected to remain around the
70% mark in 2013.
Foreign MNCs and MSC Malaysia status companies, which form a large proportion of
Cyberjayas target demand, have generally delayed any short term expansion plans.
However, steady and stable demand will be driven by tenants relocations from older office
buildings to newer buildings with better specifications, attractive rentals and incentives.
Rents
Stable rental levels in 2013
Landlords generally have the ability to hold current asking rentals despite the relatively
poor occupancy rate in Cyberjaya. Although this may pressure landlords, particularly those
with lower occupancy rates, to reduce their rental expectations as tenants continue to be
selective, rents in general are expected to be stable during 2013 as landlords of newer
offices with superior building specifications, green building certification and in good,
accessible locations maintain prevailing rental levels.
Page
16
Investment Market
Market prices have upside
The slow global economy, lack of buildings for sale with attractive yields and differences in
pricing expectations between vendors and potential purchasers contributed to the lack of
investment property transactions in 2012.
Local investors, particularly institutional investors, will continue to dominate the market
with objectives of gaining long term investment returns and capital appreciation.
In recent years Cyberjaya has grown from being a relatively isolated township inhabited
mainly by ICT employees and university students and many established and reputable
property developers are transforming Cyberjaya into a well-planned township which will
continue to attract more developers, MNCs, and investors.
In the longer term as Cyberjaya becomes an established living city, there will also be
opportunities to attract more non MSC Malaysia status companies and escalating land
values and construction costs will inevitably result in higher market price expectations of
vendors in the future.

There is also a considerable amount of retail space in the development pipeline, which
is not considered to be purpose built retail centre space. Such space is not just being
developed in conventional shop offices but also in projects with new alfresco layouts and
designs such as Viva Shops, which will be built in ten blocks. The 97 lots, with a duplex
layout, will have an upper ground level fronting an elevated road.
Demand/Occupancy
Slow demand expected until Cyberjaya becomes an established shopping
destination
Brand awareness among modern consumers continues to grow and more international
retailers are seriously considering venturing into Malaysias retail sector. Historically retailers
were local based enterprises in the F&B and convenience goods trades but as Cyberjaya
emerges as an international city with a growing resident population more local chain
retailers and foreign retailers are setting up outlets in Cyberjaya. Shaftsbury Square, for
example, has attracted retailers such as: Starbucks, Watsons, Guardian, Kenny Rogers,
Subway, OBriens, Celcom, Maxis, Digi and numerous local F&B retailers and has become
a popular location for dining and the cafes, restaurants and fast food outlets have created
a welcome addition to the variety of food choices available for the local population.

The 4-storey entertainment and leisure podium at DPulze is currently under construction
and the retail outlets which will feature a wide range of amenities such as restaurants, cafes,
entertainment outlets, a Cineplex, a food court and Karaoke outlet are available for lease.
Secured tenants include: TGV, Village Grocers, Coffee Bean, and The Loaf.
IOI City Mall, which is planned as a regional mall, will house a small number of anchor
retailers and with a regional target market, will mainly focus on food and beverage outlets
and entertainment.
Centrus mall, at planning stage, is planned to complement the retail outlets within the CBD
Perdana development and is likely to be designed and built with a Digital Mall concept.
Rents
Competitive rents to attract pioneering tenants
At DPulze, gross monthly rentals of between RM15 and RM25 per sq ft per month are
being asked by the developer.
The rentals of the shoplots at Shaftsbury Square are in the range of RM4.50 to RM6.00 per
sq. ft. per month.

Investment Market
Strong investment market interest
Average market prices in the Klang Valley were relatively stable and due to stable rents and
prices market yields remained stable.
The average price range of prime retail centres remained stable in 3Q12 at between RM320
per sq. ft. to RM600 per sq. ft. in the suburban sub-localities of the Klang Valley. However
market prices for certain high quality and well managed Prime A grade buildings are
substantially in excess of RM600 per sq. ft. in the suburbs.
Malaysian retail REITs are currently a popular form of investment and those such as Pavilion
REIT and CapitaMalls Malaysia Trust have recorded strong returns, largely driven by resilient
private consumption and good mall management practice. Furthermore, retail REITs have
benefited from a positive demographic profile, increasing affluence, greater tourist spending
and government initiatives to promote the retail sector.
These factors also augur well for Cyberjayas retail market, as the working and resident
populations continues to increase. Initially growth is expected to be slow as retailers tend
to be more cautious in locations which are not fully tested and well established, however
as the city evolves the longer term growth potential is good.
Limited detailed transactional evidence has resulted in continued difficulties in assessing
a benchmark for yields. However, with many retail assets displaying solid fundamentals
such as high occupancy rates and sustainable rental growth, it is estimated that average
retail net yields generally range between 7.0% (for prime assets) and 10.0% (for secondary
assets). This range of net yield provides a general guide and is by no means definitive. Each
property asset must be assessed based on the propertys location, physical, economic and
financial characteristics / merits and some of the top performing retail centres in the Klang
Valley would command net yields below 7.0%.

OUTLOOK
Supply
Steady supply trend in 2013
A number of new Suburban malls in the Klang Valley are currently in the development
pipeline and supply is expected to increase steadily in the short to medium term.
Developers seem to increasingly prefer standalone and mixed use development formats as
an alternative to large scale regional malls. Developers are expected to continue to build
lifestyle concept centres to suit changing lifestyles which seek more entertainment and
create more recreationally orientated retail destinations, as existing retail centres are more
focused towards providing basic retailing needs. Cafs and al fresco or outdoor F&B areas
are the trend that follows a growing caf culture and an increasing preference for making
dining a recreational and leisurely experience.
Demand/Occupancy
Retailers to become more selective about expansion
Retailer demand for Suburban retail space in 2013 is expected to sustain, and the average
occupancy rate is expected to continue on an increasing trend underpinned by a number
of retailers pre-committing to occupy space in the soon to be completed retail malls.
In terms of purpose built retail centres (malls) demand will be concentrated on strategically
located and well-designed malls which are professionally managed but good demand will
also prevail for retail outlets within mixed use, integrated developments.
The average occupancy is however expected to shift into a decreasing trend in the longer
term as more new supply enters the market.
Page
22
Rents
Marginal rent increases in 2013 and beyond
Landlords of prime retail centres will continue to revise rentals as local retailer sentiment
remains relatively buoyant and positive. This trend is expected to continue over the short to
medium term with no downward pressure on rents over the next few years.
Investment Market
Foreign and local investor interest expected to sustain
The REITs sector is expected to still drive the investment market, and continued interest is
expected from fund managers to acquire prime retail assets.
Limited prime assets available in the market and both local and foreign investors taking
strong and keen interest in Malaysias retail sector, are expected to underpin further
increases in market prices.

Ranked at 25th in Global Competitveness
3 Malaysia
Report 2012-2013
WEF has moved Malaysia up the stage of development to be in the transition
stage towards innovation-driven stage from efficiency-driven stage. The Global
Competitiveness Report 2012-2013 (GCR 2012-2013) by the World Economic Forum
(WEF) based in Geneva, also upgraded Malaysias transition stage of development
from Efficiency-Driven Stage towards Innovation Driven Stage of Development. This
upgrade was accorded as Malaysias GDP per capita had increased to US$9,700
from US$8,423 previously. At this new stage of development, new weightage is
placed on the computation of Malaysias competitiveness index; with more weight
put on Innovation and Sophistication factors, to prepare the country to move towards
being innovation-driven.
The most notable advantages are found in Malaysias efficient and competitive
market for goods and services (11th) and its remarkably supportive financial sector
(6th), as well as its business-friendly institutional framework. In a region where
many economies suffer from the lack of transparency and the presence of red tape,
Malaysia stands out as particularly successful at tackling those two issues.
