Turkey Commercial Construction Market Analysis
The Turkey Commercial Construction market is estimated to register a CAGR of greater than 5% during the forecast period.
- The construction sector in Turkey has been contracting for 5 consecutive quarters with increasing rates since the third quarter of 2021. The construction sector contracted by 14.1%. The contraction in the construction sector is not unique to the third quarter of 2022. Though Turkey's economy, has been growing under the leadership of construction for many years, the construction sector has contracted in 14 of the last 17 quarters as of December 2022.
- In other words, since the summer of 2018, construction has only been able to grow for 3 quarters. Another construction-specific change in GDP data is noticeable. The construction sector's, share in the overall economy increased from 4% to 9% in the 2000s but it has been rapidly losing this weight in recent years.
- As of 2017, first the sector began to lose momentum and then began to contract. In this process, the share of construction in the economy also declined and decreased to 4.8% in the first 9 months of 2022. This is the lowest value since 2003.
- In other words, the share of the sector in the economy has returned to about twenty years ago. In order to return to growth in the sector, there is a need for a revival in construction investments and a solution to the problem of an increase in chronic input costs.
- As of mid-year 2022, Istanbul has a 68.8% occupancy rate, followed by Antalya with a 57.2% occupancy rate. As a result, there was a greater need for hotel building in these cities. 100,700 square metres of warehouse trades were reported for the first quarter of 2022.
- Therefore, 553,671 sq. m. was the overall transaction volume for the year's first three quarters. Currently, there is a shortage of suitable warehouses and a significant demand for facilities with sizable interior spaces. As a result, the industrial sector will see a rise in building activity due to the limited availability and rising demand for suitable warehouses.
- The commercial construction sector in Turkey is driven by increasing demand for office space, warehouses, hospitals, shopping centers, and hotels. The lodging industry's recovery reached new levels in the first half of 2022, despite increasing global economic and geopolitical uncertainty. The recovery continued to favor leisure and resort destinations.
- Urban markets also saw greater momentum as more employees returned to the office and leisure travelers returned to city centers with the lifting of mask mandates and restrictions. As of mid-year 2022, 16.4 million foreigners visited Turkey. The highest number of foreign visitors was recorded during June, with more than 5 million visitors. While the number of foreign visitors increased by 185.7% compared to the previous year, it was 9.5% below the pre-pandemic period, but nevertheless signalled an accelerated recovery.
- Due to COVID-19, the construction industry in Turkey was the most negatively impacted industry. Due to the epidemic, Turkey's locomotive industry, the construction sector, was through some very trying times.
- Work had ceased at several construction sites, and many companies were attempting to finish their projects remotely or on a rotational basis. With the easing of pandemic limitations, the industry is attempting to regain its prior vigour. Although the sector's financials are negatively impacted by growing prices and declining turnover, a rebound is anticipated depending on the actions implemented in the second half of 2021.
Turkey Commercial Construction Market Trends
Office Space Demand Fuelling the Market Growth
The commercial real estate market in Turkey has become an attractive option for investors due to the growing demand for offices since the pandemic's impact has reduced. While the existing Grade-A office supply in Istanbul remained stable at 5.8 million sq m GLA as of 2022 mid-year, there is approximately 1.5 million sq m office supply under construction and it is expected that the total Grade-A office supply will outpace 7.3 million sq m GLA by the end of 2023. Approximately 90% of the future supply consists of the Istanbul International Financial Centre project located in Ataşehir, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. Demand for office space remains strong, with the vacancy in the CBD continuing its downward trend for the fourth consecutive quarter. The vacancy rate decreased from 18% at 2021 year-end to 16.1% in 2022 mid-year. As occupier demand for quality space remains healthy, availability in premium office buildings continued to be limited in H1 2022.
A total of 37,781 sq m office take-up was realized in H1 2022. While take-up volume was 32% down in terms of size, the total number of new leasing transactions was 9% higher than the same period of the previous year. Levent in the CBD, and Kozyatagi, Libadiye and Ataşehir on the Asian side have become prominent in leasing activities. While prime office rent remained stable at 25 USD per sq m compared to both yoy and qoq, it increased sharply by 89.2% yoy to TRY 350 (USD 18.65) per month as of 2022 mid-year, as a result of a concentration of activity in the most central locations and the upward trend in inflation. In the third quarter of the year, the general supply in the Istanbul office market remained at 6,46 million sq. m. While total leasing transactions in the third quarter of the year were recorded as 106,118 sq. m. Thus, the total leasing transactions in the three quarter of the year reached 350,582 sq. m. This is a two-fold increase compared to the same period of the previous year. This growing demand for office space is fuelling the market growth.
Growing Retail Sector to Support the Market Development
The existing shopping center supply reached the level of 14 million sq m in 448 centers in Turkey as of 2022 mid-year. Shopping center openings, which accelerated in H2 2021, maintained their momentum. With approximately 120,000 sq m leasable area, a total of five shopping center projects entered the retail market during H1 2022. Currently, approximately 882,000 sq m GLA in 29 centers is under construction, adding up to 14.8 million sq m supply by the end of 2024. Istanbul hosts the majority of the supply with a share of 37%, followed by Ankara and Izmir with shares of 12% and 6% respectively. In the first half of 2022, shopping center footfall improved in comparison to 2021, though levels are still down compared to 2019. However, despite lower footfall, the turnover performance of shopping centers fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels. In April and May, in particular, the monthly turnover of many shopping centers surpassed 2019 levels of bairam and holiday shopping.
As of mid-year 2022, EUR-based shopping center rent remained stable at EUR 70 per sq m/month (USD 75.62 per sq m/month). However, TRY-based prime rent was recorded at TRY 1,050 (USD 55.95) per sq m/month, with a rise of 5% qoq and 50% yoy respectively. In the third quarter of 2022, the increase in demand in the retail market draws attention. Another reason for the increasing demand is that the number of foreign visitors after the pandemic almost caught up with the pre-pandemic period. Although increasing costs due to inflation and fluctuating exchange rates continued to affect the sector, significant occupancy rates were observed both in shopping malls and on main streets. There is an increase in rents in both USD and TL terms with this increase in demand in the retail market and limited supply. In the third quarter of 2022, it was observed that investors continued their growth strategies despite the difficulties in finding empty stores. Thus, the growing retail sector in Turkey will support the market development.
