Link Asset Management, the manager of Link Real
Estate Investment Trust (0823), has won a commercial site in Kwun Tong
for HK$766 million, or HK$5,501 per square foot, which is in line with
market expectations.
The site on Anderson Road, known as Lot 1078 in
Survey District 3, has an area of about 5,880 square meters and the
maximum gross floor area is 12,936 sq m, according to the Lands
Department.
The lot's market valuation ranged from HK$550 million to HK$905 million, or from HK$4,000 to HK$6,500 per sq ft.
The plot is the first of a pair of commercial
sites available for sale within the Anderson Road Quarry Development. It
is also the second government land won by Link seven years after its
HK$5.86 billion bid for a commercial site on Hoi Bun Road in Kowloon
Bay, where its headquarters is located.
Other tenderers included Sino Land (0083), CK Asset (1113), Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) and Chinachem.
Link said it intends to develop the land into a
community commercial facility, including retail facilities, a fresh
market, and car parks to serve the daily needs of more than 30,000
population as a number of public developments and subsidized housing
estates in the district are completed in the coming years.
The site will be connected to public transport via
an adjacent interchange. A covered pedestrian footbridge and lift
system, both to be built by the government, will connect Link's Sau Mau
Ping Shopping Centre and other residential estates in the Sau Mau Ping
district.
The project is required to be completed by end of June 2028.
Previously, the government sold two residential sites in the area.
In 2018, Chinachem acquired Lot No 1068 at a
consideration of HK$3.11 billion for private residential development,
which is now known as Mount Anderson, which will provide 334 flats by
2023.
In 2020, CK Asset acquired Lot No. 1069 at a price
of HK$4.95 billion to build 1,700 units of private and subsidized
starter homes.
In other news, a consortium has applied for a
compulsory sale of Comfort Mansion in Happy Valley, which is valued at
over HK$600 million.
And a property at No 28A and No 28B Grampian Road
in Kowloon has been granted a compulsory sale for redevelopment with a
reserve price of HK$404.25 million, the auctioneer said.

Transitional
flats play pivotal role in easing Hong Kong’s housing crunch as city
looks to secure enough land supply, official says
Short-term
policies are necessary to alleviate the plight of underprivileged
residents, Undersecretary for Housing Victor Tai says
Average waiting time for public rental flats is six years, double the government’s pledge of three years
Transitional
homes have played a pivotal role in easing Hong Kong’s shortage of
public flats while authorities look to secure enough land supply, the
deputy housing chief has said.
Undersecretary
for Housing Victor Tai Sheung-shing on Wednesday said short-term
policies were necessary to alleviate the plight of underprivileged
residents. He was officiating a commencement ceremony ahead of the
construction of more than 1,000 transitional homes and a community
service building in Kam Tin by next year.
“Distant
water cannot quench a fire nearby,” Tai said, citing a Chinese proverb.
“We need to take forward every short-term measure to ease difficulties
faced by public housing applicants and residents living in undesirable
environments.”
He added that
transitional housing was an important policy that showed cooperation
among the community, the business sector and the government.
The
policy is a 2018 government initiative to help low-income groups living
in poor conditions, such as subdivided flats, who have not been able to
move to public housing.
The average waiting time for public rental flats in Hong Kong is six years, double the government’s pledge of three years.
As
of August, the government has identified land for 21,700 temporary
flats, of which more than 5,000 are currently in use, while the rest are
under construction or study.
The
government has identified 350 hectares of land for 330,000 public flats
to fulfil demand for housing over the next 10 years, but two-thirds of
the homes can only be built between 2027 and 2032.
The Kam Tin project,
which is among the coming transitional housing schemes, will provide
1,028 flats in a 200,000 sq ft site along Kam Po Road and cost more than
HK$576 million (US$73 million).
Its
operator, the pro-establishment New Territories Association of
Societies (Community Services) Foundation, is aiming to construct three
four-storey buildings in September 2023 to accommodate around 2,800
residents, who are currently either public housing applicants or
families living in undesirable environments like subdivided units.
A
two-floor community service building, featuring a supermarket,
restaurant, clinic and a self-serve laundry shop, will also be built.
The centre will also offer interest classes, counselling and career
training services.
“These
community services will serve both the transitional housing residents
and the neighbourhood to foster interaction between them,” said Leung
Che-cheung, president of the New Territories Association of Societies.
Leung
added that the district’s rural community had been supportive of the
project despite construction leading to the closure of a public road.
Located
within a five-minute walking distance from Kam Sheung Road railway
station, the operator said it expected the site to be fully occupied
next year when it opened, while residents would sign a three-year
contract and could potentially extend their stay.
“We hope that residents can stay until they can be housed in public housing,” Leung said.
The site is temporarily leased by the developer Henderson Land Development until 2027.
The
government’s assessment committee on funding transitional housing
projects led by undersecretary Tai held a meeting on Tuesday, approving
changes to five schemes to provide an additional 260 flats, increasing
the total number to 2,415.
The
amendments included doubling the number of flats for a housing estate
in Choi Hung operated by Lok Sin Tong to 331 to accommodate a total of
778 residents by increasing the number of floors in the building from
four to eight.
Lok
Sin Tong will also relocate 108 modular housing units to the Choi Hung
site from another transitional housing estate in Sung Wong Toi Road, a
site due to be returned to the government by next year. It will be the
first transitional housing estate to reuse such flats.
Secretary
for Housing Winnie Ho Wing-yin pledged to locate sites which would
allow occupants of transitional flats to stay there longer following her
first visit as minister to several of the city’s subdivided flats in
July.

政府放寬隔離檢疫政策後，增加商務人士來港意慾，間接利好寫字樓買賣活動。
上環信德中心連接着港澳碼頭，對於不少企業需穿梭中港澳來說十分便捷，加上上環區寫字樓造價對比中區相宜，單位面積選擇多，因而成為不少中外企業進駐的商廈，物業升值潛力更大。而位處上環信德中心招商局大廈中層，現以公開招標形式放售，意向價約1.4億元。
有代理表示，業主委託以公開招標形式放售，為上環干諾道中168號信德中心招商局大廈 17樓12至16室，建築面積合共約6,223平方呎，意向價約1.4億元，平均每呎叫價約22,497元，截標日期為10月31日。項目屬上環區內罕有大樓面單位，同時為港島區知名甲級海景商廈，而標售的單位更可享有開揚維港景致，份外耀眼。至於物業會以交吉形式放售，部分樓面附有整齊裝修及來去水位，可即買即用。
上環區罕有大樓面 眺望維港景
信德中心位於上環干諾道中168至200號，由信德中心有限公司發展，於1986年落成，區分作東、西翼2座大廈組成，其中東翼早年由酒店改建為商廈，現名為招商局大廈，樓高42層，每層樓面面積逾25,000平方呎，單位面積介乎700餘至25,000餘平方呎不等，單位間隔四正，當中大部份單位可享維港海景，其餘以眺望中、上環一帶城市景為主。而基座為信德中心商場，設有不少食肆及商店。
據資料顯示，信德中心招商局大廈成交以租務為主，反映出業主甚為惜售，同時物業回報吸引，而市場新近錄得信德中心招商局大廈中層05室，面積約1,267平方呎，以每平方呎約51元租出，月租約65,000元。
鄰近新海濱地 前景看俏
另一代理表示，信德中心招商局大廈位於港鐵上環站上蓋，附近又設有電車及多綫巴士路綫，交通便利，地理位置優越。而信德中心設有大型停車場和商場，配套一應俱全。而今次放售項目鄰近中環民耀街新海濱3號的商業地王，平均地價約3.1萬元，預料今番出售物業升值潛力極為優厚，相信招標物業對用家更具吸引力，不論自用或投資都相當有潛力，預料項目洽購反應會見理想。

遠展逾20億 放售油麻地灣仔酒店
今年酒店買賣表現不俗，發展商趁機放盤。消息指，遠東發展 (00035) 旗下酒店集團，放售油麻地及灣仔酒店，合共涉逾20億元。
海景絲麗酒店 市值11億
市場人士指，遠東發展旗下帝盛酒店集團，委託測量師行放售兩項酒店。其中海景絲麗酒店，位於油麻地上海街268號，鄰近駿發花園，距離油麻地港鐵站僅數分鐘步程，因位於油尖旺核心地段，地點頗理想。
該酒店於1993年落成，地盤面積約5,402平方呎，總樓面約67,826平方呎，項目樓高20層，2至18樓為客房，每層提供約12至16間房，提供268間房。因疫情關係，物業現時作檢疫酒店用途。據悉，物業市值約11億元，平均每房價值約410萬元。
另一幢放售物業為灣仔皇后大道東至377號香港麗悅酒店，位置上略為偏離灣仔核心地段。物業於1997年落成，地盤面積約4,093平方呎，總樓面約61,136平方呎，物業樓高29層，設有兩層商舖，3至19樓為客房，合共提供142間房，現時亦作檢疫酒店之用。物業市值約10億元，每房價值約704萬元，兩項酒店合共涉約21億元。
疫情衝擊下，本港長達兩年多零遊客，酒店自然最受衝擊物業。不過，近一年市場錄得多宗大額酒店買賣，新買家趁低價購入酒店，改裝成共居，作長綫收租。

領展7.7億奪安達臣道首幅商地
每呎樓面地價5501元 發展社區商業設施
領展 (00823) 擊退4組財團，成功以7.66億元，奪前觀塘安達臣道石礦場首幅商業地，每平方呎樓面地價約5,501元，符合市場預期。集團表示，日後將會發展為社區商業設施。
領展行政總裁王國龍稱，集團將可持續發展標準融入項目中，並為區內居民營造一個理想的租戶組合，藉以滿足消費者不斷演變的需求。該區未來數年將有多個公共發展項目及資助房屋屋苑落成，集團擬將該用地發展為社區商業設施
(包括零售設施、鮮活街市及停車場)，以滿足區內將逾3萬人人口的日常所需。
接有蓋天橋 連接旗下秀茂坪商場
項目亦將與運輸交滙處，及政府將興建的有蓋行人天橋和電梯相連，並將連接領展旗下秀茂坪商場及區內其他住宅群，方便居民乘搭公共交通工具。有測量師指，由於項目位處民生區，相信是次由具豐富屋邨商場營運經驗的領展投得，對項目發展有利。
該地比鄰觀塘安達邨，佔地約6.3萬平方呎，總樓面面積約13.9萬平方呎，於上周五（26日）截標，共接獲5份標書，包括：信置
(00083) 、新地 (00016) 、領展、長實 (01113)
及華懋。地皮估值約5.6億至10億元，每呎樓面地價約4,000至7,200元，反映成交價屬市場預期之內。
事實上，領展在觀塘持有多個商業及屋邨商場項目，包括海濱道77號海濱滙的寫字樓項目、鄰近是次成交地皮的寶達商場、順利商場、秀茂坪商場、曉麗商場等，可見集團是次進一步擴大區內勢力。
至於領展對上一次投得商業項目要數到2016年2月，集團當時以59.1億元奪得旺角彌敦道700號項目，並已發展為「T.O.P This is Our Place」。至於上述同區的海濱滙則同由領展夥拍南豐於2015年以58.6元奪得。近期領展亦頗踴躍參與競投商業地，包括西九文化區藝術廣場大樓、銅鑼灣加路連山道商業用地等。

荃灣愉景新城商場 中資60億洽購
新世界放售非核心物業 或成今年最大額買賣
發展商加快推非核心物業，早前傳出新世界 (00017) 放售非核心物業，消息指旗下荃灣愉景新城商場獲中資洽購，估計涉資近60億元。該商場總樓面達64萬平方呎，若最終落實，將成今年最大額物業買賣。
較早前市場傳出，新世界正暗盤放售數項非核心物業，其中價值最高為荃灣D‧PARK愉景新城。業內人士稱，該項目獲發展商、外資、內房，甚至本地房地產基金等視察及研究，由於項目具規模，加上荃灣消費人口持續上升，故獲財團出價洽購。
新世界暫未回應交易
據悉，當中以一家中資最為積極，估計涉資約60億元，若最終易手，將成今年最大手物業買賣成交。
消息亦指，是次新世界放售商場，亦為新買家提供租金回報保證。本報就有關消息，向新世界查詢，截稿前暫未獲回覆。
消息稱，洽購財團以華潤集團最為積極，事實上，華潤集團今年非常活躍於本港物業市場上，如今年中，集團向嘉里
(00683) ，購入嘉里 (沙田) 貨倉及嘉里 (柴灣)
貨倉兩項物業，作價分別23.3億及22.9億元，合共涉及約46.2億元，以成交價計，為今年最大金額買賣，收購後作集團旗下華潤物流之用。
華潤今年活躍物業市場
另外，集團旗下華創建投，6月份斥13.6億元，購入大埔運頭塘商場。該集團早前曾表示，未來將會續向民生區商場發展，故對D‧PARK愉景新城感興趣。
位於荃灣的D‧PARK愉景新城，為荃灣大型屋苑愉景新城基座商場，樓高3層，總樓面達63萬平方呎，連同逾千個車位，絕對為區內大型商場之一，而項目連接港鐵荃灣站，亦鄰近荃景圍一帶大型屋苑，故消費人口主要為區內客。商場合共約140間店舖及旗艦店，主要為民生商戶包括快餐店、家品店、教育中心等。
目前商場出租率逾9成
商場由新世界及香港興業 (00480)
合作發展，97年落成，2010年新世界斥資約13.78億元，向香港興業購入商場及車場5成業權。其後新世界為物業進行租戶重組以及重新定位，據了解，近年商場打造成以親子為主題，包括商場設中央公園等，周末吸引家庭客前來，據了解，目前商場出租率逾9成。
新世界今年暫未有大型住宅樓盤推售，而銷售集中於商業項目，其中近一年多推出長沙灣荔枝角道888號全新甲廈項目，銷情不俗，當中獲南洋商業銀行大手購入3層，現大廈易名為南商金融創新中心。同時間，集團亦推出部分非核心物業，若價錢合適，可出售套現，投放在其他項目身上。
數字顯示，今年大額買賣物業相對較淡靜，大額商舖成交，主要來自地區商場，包括近日中國海外 (00688) 以約4.25億元，沽出土瓜灣海悅廣場商場，買家為俊業集團。

民生區商場抗跌 今年投資焦點
加息在即，投資者尋找較高回報及穩健物業，而中港尚未通關，核心區商舖前景仍不明朗。相比之下，民生區商場出租率高、抗跌力強，相信為今年投資焦點之一。
代理行數據顯示，2017及2018年，均錄逾400宗大手買賣
(5,000萬元以上物業)，近年整體回落，2021年有所反彈。但因年初疫情嚴峻，今年首7個月暫錄471億元成交，僅為去年一半，宗數亦只是去年35%。香港加息在即，預計對投資市場進一步衝擊，金額及宗數有可能再下跌。
投資物業關鍵之一是回報率，若加息提高投資成本，對機構投資者來說，便會尋求較高回報率物業，以抵銷息口上升的影響。在商舖市場上，核心區商舖過去兩年因疫情關鍵，租金及售價作出明顯調整，漸出現投資機遇。
不過，若旅客未重返，核心區舖位空置率偏高的問題難以解決，故租售價反彈力度有限。目前政府實施「3+4」檢疫措施，對推動外地旅客訪港消費始終不高，加上中港通關更是無期，核心區商舖市況變化不多，投資者亦卻步。
出租率高 本地消費仍穩定
持續兩年多疫情，令民生區商場成投資對象，畢竟地區商場出租率高，本地消費仍穩定，而商場內的租戶如超市、快餐店等，疫情下生意沒受明顯衝擊，物業抗跌力較強，而今年大手商舖成交，幾乎全屬民生商場包括大埔、土瓜灣及荃灣，料今年民生區商場仍是財團重點留意對象。

跑馬地愉華大廈申強拍
近年財團紛紛透過併購豪宅地段舊樓，申請強制拍賣以增土地儲備，繼日前有財團申請強拍跑馬地翠景樓之後，持有毗鄰愉華大廈的財團，最新亦向土地審裁處申請強拍，以統一業權發展，目前持有項目逾80%業權，市場估值逾6.11億。
土地審裁處文件顯示，位於黃泥涌道59及61號、雲地利道36及38號的愉華大廈，由一家名為PRECISE
LUCKY LIMITED的公司申請強拍，該公司持有約80.59%業權，現餘下8個單位未成功收購，包括Hongkong Bank
Trustee
Limited持有黃泥涌道61號一個低層物業，市場估值約1336萬，該8個單位市場估值約1229萬至1667萬，市場對整個項目估值6.1124億。
市場估值逾6.11億
上址現為一幢商住物業，地下為商鋪，樓上為住宅，樓齡約58年。由於該舊樓毗鄰馬場，落成後料不少單位可享馬場景，而且鄰近銅鑼灣核心商業地段，因此極具重建價值。今年6月財團委託測量師調查顯示，上址地盤面積5648方呎，若以地積比率9倍發展，涉及可建總樓面約50832方呎。
值得留意的是，早前一家名為Sonic Success
Limited的公司，向土地審裁處申請強拍上述舊樓毗鄰的翠景樓，現持有約83.33%業權，市場對整個項目估值7.0681億。與此同時，黃泥涌道63至65號安美大廈，早前曾錄19宗成交，包括16個住宅單位及3個鋪位，總成交額涉及約4.12億，不排除上述項目由同一財團併購，料屆時會整合發展。
九龍城舊樓本月23日拍賣
此外，由財團併購的九龍城嘉林邊道28A至28B號，早前獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令，仲量聯行將於9月23日，安排拍賣該物業，底價4.0425億。據土地審裁處文件顯示，上址現為1幢3層高舊樓，早於1950年落成入伙，樓齡約72年。該舊樓佔地10070方呎，現劃為「住宅
(乙類)」用途，若以地積比率5倍重建，可建總樓面約50350方呎。
