Main research questions • 1. To what extend does a price index based on face rents, provide an accurate reflection of the market dynamics in the Amsterdam Office market over the period 2002 – 2012? • 2. Do spatial market segments differentiate in market dynamics in the Amsterdam office market over the period 2002 -2012?

Office markets | Segmented / sub-market behavior 1. Segmented structure ignored; inter-related office markets in London (Stevenson, 2007) 1. Sub-urban level most appropriate level for analyzing office market dynamics (Jones, 1995) 2. Sub-markets different behavior in the short term, but follow a similar trend in the long run (Mueller, 1995) 3.

Office markets |Vacancy from theory Koppels & Keeris (2006): 1. Vacancy and rents 2 year time-lag Landlords reluctant to adjust their rental rates when there are fluctuations in the vacancy rate 2. Incentives and Vacancy No time-lag Incentives used as short-time price adjustments 3. Corr.

Conclusions 1. “To what extend does a price index based on face rents, provides an accurate reflection of the market dynamics in the Amsterdam Office market over the period 2002 – 2012? Face rental prices – effective rental price (development): diff: 16 -23 % (Study 1); diff: 20% (Study 5) Underlying development; similar correlation | Prime rent development not representative for total market (Study 1) • Effective rents vs. face rental indices more cyclical and volatile (Study 2) • Sig. correlation face rents & vacancy and real eff. rents & vacancy similar rental adjustment / market dynamics (Study 3) • • I – Problem introduction | II – Problem definition | III -Theoretical framework | IV - Empirical research | V – Conclusions | VI – Reflection 46 / 50 Overall conclusion: index based on (real) effective rental price more accurate reflection
Conclusions 2. “Do spatial market segments differentiate in market dynamics in the Amsterdam office market over the period 2002 -2012? ” Incentives : - Significant different in height No market segmentation in development; similar correlation in incentive development Surrounding business districts correlated; Centre / Sloterdijk Effective rental price: - Significant differences in height sub-office and business districts (nominal) Yes, partial market segmentation in development (Stevenson, 2007) West, North and South-East correlated Surrounding business districts in City-district South-East correlated I – Problem introduction | II – Problem definition | III -Theoretical framework | IV - Empirical research | V – Conclusions | VI – Reflection 47 / 50

Reflection on outcomes • Overall: Database limitations – Only Accepted – 1/5 th transactions: 450 ; LFA > 500 m 2 • Study 1: % Incentives and effective rental price – Higher incentives? – Market comparison; few transactions • • Rental adjustment equation: stronger correlation with real effective rents; possible explanations: • Small amount of transactions LFA > 500 m 2 • Vacancy existing offices instead of entire market • Current scale level not most appropriate Study 4: Spatial segmentation • No diff. above and below 500 m 2 • Post-Hoc only diff. between some variables Study 2: Hedonic price index – Low R Square (max. 0, 33) in research – Cyclicality and market realistic reflection might change in more accurate model • Study 5: Face and effective rental price • Study 3: Vacancy & Rents - Only 106 transactions; unsure whether transactions are well-connected • Other vacancy rates; different outcomes - Only indication of total difference • No difference from natural vacancy used • I – Problem introduction | II – Problem definition | III -Theoretical framework | IV - Empirical research | V – Conclusions | VI – Reflection 49 / 50

Approach | Data Validity Data reliability check • Data analysis & Reliability check Main rejecting reasons: – • • Transaction data Municipal Tax Office Improbable sale or rental price • Rental questionaire; incentives, rental prices – to tenant instead of landlord - forced auction sales, (anti-) squatters, income requirement, sale-leaseback, • rental Onlyprice “accepted” used in this research extension, transactions temporary lease obligation with end-date, lower rent • due Goal: test its market conformity rental defects of property, short rental contract, large investments in object 5 step Screening method • (Possible) Family transaction – Step 1: Controlling/Checking input Step 2: disciplines Consistency analysis • – Multiple in rent – Step 3: Screening of the rental value Step 4: which Reliability • – Objects are outcheck of use – Step 5: Assigning a particular status/condition to the transaction • (Only a parking lot is rented) I – Problem introduction | II – Problem definition | III -Theoretical framework | IV - Empirical research | V – Conclusions | VI – Reflection 51 / 63
