Hong Kong luxury property prices
dropped 1.3 percent in the first quarter from a year ago, as the global
market recorded its first price contraction since the 2008 financial
crisis, a report from a property consultancy showed.
Despite
the decline, the SAR's ranking by annual percentage point changes rose
from 37 in the fourth quarter last year to 34 in the past quarter,
according to the Prime Global Cities Index report that tracks movement
of prime residential prices across 46 cities worldwide.
Luxury home prices in the financial hub remained unchanged in the January-March period from the previous three months.
Annual
prices slid in 16 of the 46 markets tracked. While two-thirds of
markets are still seeing positive growth, the large size of price
declines in the weakest markets has pulled the overall index down by 0.4
percent as interest rates jumped.
At
the top of the first-quarter ranking was Dubai's 44 percent annual
growth, with second place Miami the only other city to reach
double-digit growth at 11 percent. Singapore was in the fifth spot with a
5.5 percent rise.
The
report came as Hong Kong's overall stamp duty revenues from property
purchases dipped by 4.6 percent to HK$764 million in April from the
previous month, with the number of transactions tumbling 25.5 percent to
280.
Among them,
revenue from special stamp duty more than halved month-on-month to
HK$495 million, data from the Inland Revenue Department revealed.
Meanwhile,
all the Hong Kong interbank offered rates rose yesterday along with the
local currency. The mortgage-linked one-month Hibor grew by nearly 40
basis points 4.16 percent, the highest since early January. The
overnight rate even rallied by 92 basis points to 4.44 percent.
In the commercial market, Nan Fung Group said it has pre-leased about a third of the office space at AIRSIDE,
a mixed-use commercial building in Kai Tak that will soft open in the
third quarter. The average rent of the office area ranges from HK$35 to
HK$49 per square foot, compared to around HK$25 in other Grade A
commercial buildings in Kowloon East, the developer said.

啟德 AIRSIDE 寫字樓租出3成 呎租見49元
南豐：今年甲廈供應多 料全年租金持平
今年市場上多幢甲廈推出，而南豐旗下啟德地標項目 AIRSIDE 寫字樓近期入伙，已租出約3成樓面，即約40萬平方呎，呎租高見49元。
集團指今年甲廈新供應多，競爭激烈，而通關後租務活動加快，料全年租金持平。
南豐料年底前 出租率達5成
南豐啟德 AIRSIDE 寫字樓部分近期入伙，項目為47層高的綜合大樓，提供32層甲級寫字樓，以及多層商場，總樓面面積達190萬平方呎，寫字樓佔120萬平方呎。
寫字樓方面，南豐集團香港地產處執行董事許謙讓表示，暫時約三分一樓面租出，除了法國賽博集團及柯尼卡美能達商業系統外，最大為日資銀行租用約9.6萬平方呎樓面。據悉，該租客為三菱東京UFJ銀行，原租用中環友邦金融中心。
租客涉環球企業 日資銀行
許謙讓透露，集團將保留 AIRSIDE 約兩層樓面自用，作為集團新總部。南豐目前總部位於上環南豐大廈，涉及6層樓面，據悉將保留兩層作會客等用途，騰出近4萬平方呎樓面，日後重新招租。
項目獲三大環球企業及自用樓面，出租面積佔約40萬平方呎。租金方面，他指目前平均呎租為35至49元，相對九龍東甲級商廈租金高出近1倍。他解釋，由於項目個別樓層達5萬平方呎，同區非常罕有，適合企業搬遷整合業務，加上物業質素高，故獲企業支持。他指現時項目仍獲金融、保險等行業洽租，亦有中資企業洽淡，預計項目年底前，出租率可達一半。
翻查資料，南豐早於兩年前為項目招租，惟受疫情衝擊，租務活動進度一般。許謙讓指，疫情對租務最大影響，為外地公司高層，因當時本港隔離措施嚴格而未能來港考察，通關後睇樓活動明顯加快，故相信租務將會增加。對於整體後市，目前甲廈空置率仍偏高，他坦言要消化樓面需要一段時間，並指今年甲廈供應多，競爭無疑較大，而現時整體氣氛向好，預計今年甲廈租金持平。
今年為甲廈高峰期，有外資代理行代理指出，1至3月份甲廈錄得13.5萬平方呎正吸納量，惟4月份再次轉負數，涉及負22萬平方呎，故暫時今年甲廈吸納量仍屬負數。
該代理分析，市場上甲廈新項目，不論預租及已入伙，整體出租率多徘徊3成左右。後市上，該代理指整體甲廈需求仍然偏弱，而通關後租務洽談增，料第三季落實成交增加。代理認為目前供應壓力仍然大，加上本身空置率達15.1%，料今年甲廈租金僅持平，或跌幅5%之內。

甲廈吸跨企進駐 ESG元素不可缺
近兩年大批甲廈新供應出現，業主各出奇謀吸客，而ESG (Environmental, social, and governance) 元素成為物業不可缺少因素，要配備齊全才可吸引跨國企業進駐。
AIRSIDE 多環保設施 保競爭力
甲廈整體空置率偏高，市場有逾千萬平方呎空置樓面待租。據一間外資代理行數字顯示，2022及2023年，分別有321萬及226萬平方呎樓面供應，為甲廈高峰期。
現存空置樓面已經頗多，加上大批新落成大廈，消化需時。以今年為例，中環、港島東、黃竹坑及啟德等商業區，均有全新項目落成，同時間甲廈需求尚未復甦，故業主要出招吸客，競爭頗大。
近年ESG興起，企業講求環保、可持續發展等。據業界人士指出，當企業選擇辦公室時，ESG成為必須考慮元素，大廈要有一定條件，跨國企業總公司才會批准租務，而租金並非唯一考慮因素。
以近期落成啟德 AIRSIDE 為例，物業獲多項綠色建築證書，並提供環保設施，如全球首個智能廢物分類管理系統等，大廈亦設農莊等，相關元素可令物業保持一定競爭力。
除了ESG元素外，新大廈設備較舊式商廈齊全，科技上較先進，而因應市況，業主亦不會叫價太進取，故可以較低租金，租用有最新設備的商廈，成為企業提升辦公室級數的良好機會，因此新商廈整體優勢較高。
