Ayala REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust)

更新日:2023年4月20日

Ayala REIT(AREIT) is one of the pioneers of REITs in the Philippines. It takes part in the business which incorporates to put resources into, buy, gain own, hold, sell, relegate, move, contract, vow, trade or in any case discard land and oversaw assets; to get, gather and discard the lease, premium, profits, and pay ascending from its property and ventures. Thus, the organization was established on September 4, 2006 and is settled in Makati, Philippines.


The REIT law was endorsed and passed way back in 2009 however a few issues hampered its execution. The last IRR(Implementing Rules and Regulations) was delivered in January 2020 after industry worries on least open proprietorship (MPO or Minimum Public Ownership) and VAT issues on introductory exchange of genuine properties were at last settled.


Following that, in February 2020, Ayala Land was the first organization in quite a while to report that they will lead an IPO for their REIT organization, AREIT Inc.

In the IPO recording submitted to the SEC in February recently, AREIT said they intend to raise as much as P14.4 billion by selling up to 507.57 million portions of the organization at a most extreme cost of P30.05 per share. The AREIT Initial Public Offer (IPO) will comprise 47.864 million essential offers and 430.775 million auxiliary portions of AREIT Inc., with an alternative to give extra 23.93 million offers dependent on request.


Today, Ayala Land has a sum of 29 sustainable estates and is present in 57 growth areas nationwide from one side of the country to the other. It has five private brands, in particular Ayala Land Head, Alveo, Avida, Amaia, and BellaVita, which convey quality homes to an expansive fragment of the real estate market. Its business advancement and renting portfolio includes Ayala Shopping centers, Ayala Land Workplaces, and Ayala Land Inns and Resorts Partnership.


There are many reasons why AREIT makes an appealing venture. To begin with, the entirety of its resources are places of business and the majority of its inhabitants have a place with the business cycle reevaluating or BPO industry. Out of its absolute GLA of 152,756 sqm, around 59% is rented out to BPOs. Note that regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest for office space from BPOs stay versatile as unfamiliar organizations situated in created nations keep on reevaluating their activities to diminish work cost. Besides, as a result of social removing prerequisites, BPOs presently require a bigger floor region for a similar number of workers.


AREIT additionally partakes in a steady income base given the high inhabitants pace of its undertakings and the extensive rent agreements of its inhabitants. Solaris One and Ayala North Exchange are completely rented out while McKinley Exchange is 98.4-percent involved. The length of its office rent contracts goes from five to 10 years with a yearly heightening of 3% to 10 percent. It is ameliorating to realize that dependent on the current arrangement of occupants, no rent contract is up for restoration this year, while just 1.2 percent and 8.3 percent will lapse in 2021 and 2022, individually.

Another factor making AREIT appealing is that 36% of its office portfolio is PEZA(Philippine Economic Zone Authority)- certify. The advantages appreciated by inhabitants of Peza-certify offices combined with the trouble of getting new Peza accreditation in Manila is another motivation behind why AREIT's workplaces should keep getting a charge out of high inhabitants rates going ahead.


While AREIT resembles an alluring venture, there are likewise a few dangers. As per the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., two Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (Pogo) licensees and 13 specialist organizations offering call focus activities, selling, frameworks and equipment support, live dea­ler video web based and other web based games as of late left the Philippines because of unsettled questions with charge specialists.


In spite of the fact that AREIT doesn't have any Pogo inhabitants, a huge expansion in office opening achieved by the conclusion of Pogos could come down on office rent rates overall. Note that Pogos represented a huge portion of office lea­ses during the past couple of years.


Additionally, AREIT doesn't possess the land where its structures are built. In any case, the danger that the land where its structures are found will be sold is insignificant given that Ayala Land possesses both the land and a greater part of AREIT.

At last, AREIT has no drawn out obligation. This gives the organization space to get reserves expected to get different ventures including Teleperformance Cebu. This will assist the organization with developing its renting pay, helping proprietors of AREIT as money divi­dends likewise increment.

The Ayala REIT owned different Real Estate Properties and currently owns three (3) commercial buildings transferred to it by parent company Ayala Land Inc. (ALI): Solaris One, Ayala North Exchange, and McKinley Exchange (All PEZA-accredited establishments located in the Makati Central Business District, the country's financial hub).


1. Solaris One

It is a 24-storey, Grade A, PEZA-accredited commercial building owned by Ayala Company, previously known as E-Services 3 Dela Rosa Building, completed in 2008. It contains 13,767.95 sq. m. of Gross Leasable Area. It is located at 130 Dela Rosa Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City, Philippines.


2. McKinley Exchange Corporate Center

McKinley began its operations in 2005. It is known for its 5-storey, Grade A, PEZA-accredited mixed-use development owned by Ayala Land, Inc, and being leased out by since February 1, 2020. It has a Gross Leasable Area of 10,687 sq.m., 9,633.32 sq.m., which is reserved for commercial office leasing. This is located in a good area: McKinley Road corner EDSA, Makati City, Philippines.


3. Ayala North Exchange

This is a Grade A , mixed-use development. It consists of two office towers situated on top a 3-storey retail podium, as well as a collection of serviced apartments branded as Seda Residences Makati. The first of these towers was used as the HQ office which was 12-storey high. On its top, you may find 93 serviced apartments. The second tower is a 20-storey, PEZA-accredited BPO Office designated for 24/7 operations. The Gross Leasable Area of Ayala North Exchange is 95,554.35 sq.m.

4. The 30th Corporate Center

This can be found in the heart of the busy city of Ortigas. This is a 19-story office facility with a total Gross Leasable Area of 47,000 square meters. This development of the office will be combined with Ayala Malls the 30th, Ayala Land’s lifestyle retail development in Pasig City. One of the things to like about this is it's easy for office workers while offering a unique cosmopolitan shopping and dining experience.


5. Teleperformance Cebu

It has a recent completion in 2013. This is a 12-story, fully occupied commercial building that has 17,682 sq.m of office Gross Leasable Area and 266 sq.m dedicated to retail space. This is located in Cebu I.T. Park, the PEZA-accredited I.T. capital of Cebu, at Blk8, Lot 1-6 AsiaTown IT Park, Brgy. Lahug, Cebu City.

Accepting that AREIT is presented at its greatest cost of P30.05 per share, the assessed profit yield is just 4.6 percent this year and 4.9 percent one year from now, which is too low as I would see it. Albeit the said yield is higher contrasted with the public authority's 10-year security yield of 2.8 percent, it is nearly at standard with the 4.75 percent to 4.8 percent yield of the as of late given 10-year dollar named corporate obligations of Jollibee and ICTSI. In spite of the fact that AREIT is generally alluring, it should in any case give a better return contrasted with corporate securities since the worth of security coupons is ensured while the worth of money profits on REITs isn't.


AREIT is just one of the REITs available in the Philippines. In our next blog, you will be able to see and read on other investments you can venture.
