A house on Perkins Road at Jardine's Lookout has been put up for sale with an indicative price of HK$1 billion.
The
detached house at No 83 Perkins Road, with a site area of 13,040 square
feet, is available for tender until October 20, a surveyor said.
With
a plot ratio of 0.6 times, it has 7,824 square feet of floor area which
can be redeveloped, leading to a price of HK$12,781 per square foot.
The
two-floor luxury house has a garden of nearly 10,000 square feet, a
private pool and a parking lot and is also close to business districts
such as Central and Causeway Bay.
The
house is now held by a construction service provider, Nam Mui (Kin Kee)
Company, which was established in 1970 and is controlled by a Chan
family.
Owning some
properties in Hong Kong, the landlord also cashed in HK$14.15 million by
selling two units of Wilton Place in Mid-Levels two years ago.
On
Perkins Road, a house of 9,185 square feet site area at No 81 was
bought by a founder of Hopson Development (0754) Chu Mang-yee for HK$800
million in 2019, while a luxury property of 10,716 square feet site
area at No 6 was purchased by Maxim's Caterers' chairman Lawrence Ng
Wai-kwok for HK$700 million this June.
In
other news, the mortgage-linked one-month Hong Kong Interbank Offered
Rate rose by 5.7 basis points to 2.06484 percent yesterday, nearing the
high of 2.15661 percent in February 2020.

Recent Hong Kong home buyers stand to lose millions as prices decline – some already have
Many people who bought homes over the past five years are now facing a loss – at least on paper – as prices continue to slide
Some owners who had to sell have taken significant losses – in one case to the tune of HK$5.85 million (US$745,334)
Many
homeowners who bought flats in Hong Kong over the past five years are
looking at a loss if they decide to sell now, as the housing market
enters a downward cycle amid rising interest rates, a recession and a wave of emigration.
In
fact, some owners who bought high have been forced to sell low
recently, turning paper losses into real losses – in one case to the
tune of HK$5.85 million (US$745,334).
Many
homeowners who bought homes after mid-2017, when prices were higher
than the current level, may find themselves in the same position if they
choose to sell, property agent said. A total of 327,419 private homes
fall into that category, according to Land Registry data.
“Negative
factors such as the US-China trade war, social unrest, Covid-19, and
rising interest rates have caused property prices to soften,” the agent
said. “Therefore, those who entered the market at a high price in the
past few years have a high chance of experiencing paper losses.”
For most of 2018 and 2019 the government’s index of lived-in home prices ran higher than the latest reading of 376.1 in July this year,
according to official data released by the Rating and Valuation
Department. For example, the index is now 5.2 per cent below the 396.9
it registered in May 2019, before the outbreak of social unrest and the
coronavirus pandemic.
The
HK$5.85 million loss came on a four-bedroom, 1,318 sq ft flat with a
sea view at Harbour Glory in North Point, which changed hands for HK$42
million in early September, 12 per cent below what the owner paid the
developer, CK Asset Holdings, in 2017, according to another property
agency.
The
person decided to “sell as soon as possible and leave the market, as
Hong Kong is about to enter the interest rate upcycle,” another agent
said.
In
Sai Kung, a seller lost HK$3.85 million on a three-bedroom, 1,108 sq ft
flat with a garden at Mount Pavilia, which changed hands for HK$17.8
million, 18 per cent below the original price in 2018, according to
property agency.
The district in August saw at least four recent loss-making deals at developments completed in the past few years, agent said.
A
market index, fell 0.8 per cent to 171.83 for the week ended September 4
– the lowest level since February 2019. The index has fallen 5.1 per
cent over eight weeks and may fall further and more sharply.
Among
144 new projects that launched since 2018, 42 of them, or about 30 per
cent, have seen flats sell recently for less than the average price per
square foot for all sales, according to data from Dataelements, a data
provider that tracks new residential properties in Hong Kong.
Part of the reason may be the different sizes of the units sold, according to Dataelements.
Phase one of Emerald Bay, developed by debt-laden developer China Evergrande Group, recorded the biggest drop at 16.7 per cent.
The
city’s homeowners and potential buyers are braced for higher mortgage
rates since the US Federal Reserve embarked on a rapid succession of
interest rate hikes in March to tame the fastest inflation in America in
four decades.
The
Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the de facto central bank, has increased
its base rate in lockstep under its linked exchange rate system with the
US dollar.
The
US central bank raised its benchmark rate for two consecutive months in
June and July, and the market widely expects US interest rates to
increase for a fifth time this year by another 50 to 75 basis points in
September.
“The
downward trend of home prices in Hong Kong has not stopped,” agent
said. “With the loss of market confidence, the decline tends to widen.”
Buyers
in Hong Kong tend to hold onto their properties for at least three
years, until they are no longer liable to pay the Special Stamp Duty.
Therefore buyers who made their purchases in 2018 account for the
majority of buyers facing potential losses right now, agent said. Later,
more 2019 buyers will gradually begin facing the predicament.
At
The Pacifica in Cheung Sha Wan, a homeowner in a rush to emigrate sold a
441 sq ft flat for HK$7.6 million – the lowest price for a flat of that
size there in one-and-a-half-years – losing HK$480,000 compared with
the May 2019 buying price of HK$8.08 million, according to another
agency.
At
The Visionary in Tung Chung, a foreign pilot who left Hong Kong early
this year lost HK$1 million selling a three-bedroom, 1,033 sq ft flat
for HK$11.5 million in late August, absorbing an 8 per cent loss on his
August 2019 purchase.
An
agent attributed that the widening decline to the city’s higher
Covid-19 infection numbers, deterioration in the overall investment
sentiment with the plunging Hang Seng Index and interest rate increases,
which may dampen investment sentiment and developers’ recent property
launches at low prices.
If
there is no good news this month, the decline in property prices will
not stop, and home prices will fall by about 8 per cent this year, agent
said.

中資巨企遊客區搶租靚鋪 吼準銅鑼灣中環尖沙嘴 租金平50%至70%
疫市持續下，旅遊區鋪市寂靜多時，近期卻一枝獨秀獲中資巨企追捧，繼體育用品店李寧率先於尖沙嘴設旗艦店、免稅店DUTY
ZERO一連承租中環及銅鑼灣黃金地段，手機生產商小米，將首度在港島區開設門市，看中銅鑼灣鬧市一個複式巨鋪，料短期內進駐。地產界人士形容，中資巨企平租遊客區靚鋪，儘管租金跌幅高達五成至七成，仍即時撐起鋪市，為鋪位市場注入強心針。
儘管小米早年進軍香港，在港島區卻一直沒有地鋪門市，多年來，只有設置於恒隆中心寫字樓內的樓上服務中心，面積約二千餘呎，該公司將首度在港島開設旗艦店，消息人士透露，小米看中銅鑼灣恒隆中心一個複式巨鋪，接近二千五百方呎，小米與業主恒隆幾乎一拍即合，業主樂於在租賃條件上提供優惠，料短期落實租賃，月租約三十萬，平均呎租約一百二十元。
小米洽租Fashion Walk複式鋪
本報就上述消息，分別向恒隆及小米查詢，恒隆發言人回應，他們不會對個別租戶作評論；小米則透過公關表示：「公司不予置評，如有進一步消息，會適時公布。」
知情人士則說，該巨鋪位處銅鑼灣記利佐治街十一至十九號Fashion
Walk商場，為二號地鋪及一樓全層，面積各為六百多及逾一千八百多呎，鋪位「牛高馬大」，非常寬敞，Fashion
Walk毗鄰為港鐵站，儘管在疫市下，街道仍然人流聚集。巨鋪前身為長情租客時裝店MAX
MARA，進駐逾十年，早前遷走後，騰出連同地下一號鋪在內的近5000呎巨鋪，業主恒隆將之一拆二，其中一個地下鋪位旋即獲鞋店承租，餘下二號鋪及一樓全層，亦即將迎來小米。雖然鋪位成功覓得租客，不過在經歷近年的動亂及在疫情持續的洗禮，比較起舊租金，最新租金較高峰期跌約五成。
業主恒隆：不作個別評論
事實上，近期，中資巨企成為核心區鋪市「亮點」，闊別香港十三年的內地體育用品店李寧，繼二零零九年撤出尖沙嘴金馬倫道據點，闊別十三年，近期「大升呢」，進駐「名店街」廣東道，承租新港中心一個複式鋪，面積約七千八百方呎，月租更高達二百萬，租金較高峰期跌逾70%。
中國唯一由國務院授權，於全國各地開展免稅業務的中免集團，旗下與外資合營的DUTY ZERO，向來只有赤鱲角機場及東涌東薈城據點，近期衝出東涌，連環承租中環德輔道中及銅鑼灣羅素街鋪位，其中，中環鋪位更一簽三年梗約，足見其對後市的信心。
業界：為鋪市打下強心針
有代理表示，中資品牌連環租鋪，為香港鋪市打下強心針，中資公司對國內政策，有較深研究，他們行動積極，背後正因國家支持香港，事實上，在香港及澳門兩個特區當中，香港最新的「3+4」隔離，遠較澳門隔離時間為短，可見中央對香港的重視。該代理續說，第五波疫情後，核心區鋪市持續淡靜，現時與鋪市走勢最連繫為通關，「3+4」隔離措施成為通關第一步，相信進一步安排將會於十月十九日《施政報告》中發表，而另一重要事項為十月十六日舉行的中共全國代表大會，市場預期將對香港管治政策，與本港政治及經濟前景息息相關。
代理續說，過往核心區鋪租昂貴，只有奢侈品可以負擔，品牌即使願意支付巨大代價，亦難於與之爭一日長短，現在鋪租大跌，讓他們能夠進軍旅遊消費街道。

財團西營盤舊樓申強拍
港島區住宅用地供應有限，發展商積極透過收購舊樓強拍增加土儲，當中由財團併購的西營盤高街120至122號翠樺樓，最新獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令，底價為5.25億。
翠樺樓早於1968年落成，現為1幢12層高商住物業，地下為商鋪，樓上為住宅，物業佔地面積約4967方呎，若按擬議地積比約8.3135倍發展，可重建樓面約4.13萬方呎。
已統一毗鄰紹德樓業權

事實上，上述舊樓毗鄰的高街124及126號紹德樓，上周五由同一財團以底價2.1億投得，成功統一業權，相信會合併發展。資料顯示，紹德樓坐落高街南面，位於薄扶林道與西邊街之間，毗鄰英皇書院，現為1幢於1966年落成的8層高商住樓宇，地盤面積約2798.84方呎，現劃為「住宅

平均呎價6767元

油塘工業區 搖身變臨海住宅
油塘工業區近年轉型加快，發展商積極推動區內工廈重建，目前仍有5個重建項目正在進行，預計將提供近3,500伙，將逐漸變成一個臨海住宅區。
油塘區內有2個工業區，當中位於油塘東南部、鄰近三家村、鯉魚門的東源街、高輝道交界一帶的工業區，以分層工廈為主，過去10年陸續有工廈重建成住宅項目，例如包括嘉賢居、鯉灣天下、OCEAN
ONE、海傲灣、曦臺、PENINSULA EAST，大部分前身均屬於工廈重建而成。
5項目重建 料增3500伙
當中臨海部分規劃為「綜合發展區」，業權相對集中，在近年政府先後批出多幅住宅用地，包括蔚藍東岸、海傲灣為近年批出的住宅官地，前者由五礦地產 (00230) 於2016年以約40億元投得，興建4幢住宅大廈，提供約688伙，區內住宅發展開始成形。
至於目前正在進行規劃及重建中的項目，則仍有5個，合共將提供近3,500伙，當中規模最大為越秀地產 (00123) 就持有的油塘東源街冷藏貨倉及比鄰政府土地，將建4座23至27層高的商住物業，涉及約65.8萬平方呎住宅樓面及約1,016平方呎非住宅樓面，總樓面約65.9萬平方呎，提供約1,393伙。
而臨海的綜合發展區部分，則有長實 (01113) 東源街5及8號項目，發展商已經在2年前補地價約22.1億元，將工業地轉為興建4幢住宅大廈，提供約903伙，當中405伙為面積少於431平方呎的小型單位。
宏安購油塘工廈8成業權
另外曾經在區內收購工廈重建成曦臺的宏安 (01222)
，於今年初再出手，以約5.8億元購入四山街18至20號油塘工業大廈第4座超過8成業權，每平方呎收購價高達約4,100元，發展商將申請透過強拍以統一大廈業權並作重建。該工廈於1979年落成，現為樓高4層的工業大廈，地盤面積約41,800平方呎，規劃為「住宅
(戊類)」，預計重建作商住用途，最高地積比率6倍，可建樓面約25.08萬平方呎，估計可以提供約400至500個中小型住宅單位。
鄰近同為四山街的世運貨倉，則在早前由已故「船王」包玉剛家族旗下的康世集團，申請重建成住宅，提供約445伙。除了在油塘工業區重建加快外，位於港鐵 (00066) 油塘站南面的油塘灣近年亦有進展。項目由恒地 (00012) 等發展商牽頭展開全面重建，目前跟政府商討補地價中，將會興建逾6,000伙。

油塘工廈均價4000 略低於觀塘
油塘工業區內工廈呎價平均約4,000元水平，略低於鄰近的觀塘區工廈，當中較近港鐵油塘站的油塘工業城，近期平均呎價約4,500元。
油塘工業區內工廈樓齡普遍較舊，亦有不少業權分散，而位於高輝道17號的油塘工業城，樓齡約33年，分為A及B座，位置相對較近港鐵油塘站，前方更可眺望油塘灣海景。
油塘工業城 17年升價8倍
據EPRC經濟地產庫資料顯示，油塘工業城近期平均成交呎價約4,489元，成交單位面積介乎約1,564至2,908平方呎，大部分單位面積大約千餘平方呎，成交價約為600萬至1,000萬元。例如，B座低層B6室，面積約1,572平方呎，在今年中以約650萬元易手，平均呎價約4,135元。原業主於2005年以約70.4萬元購入該單位，持貨17年，升值逾8倍，帳面獲利達近580萬元。
至於位於茶果嶺道610號生利工業中心，位置在油塘大本型商場對面，樓齡約42年，早前高層7室以約680萬元易手，單位面積約1,716平方呎，呎價約3,963元。原業主2007年以約80萬元購入，持貨15年至今轉手升值7.5倍。油塘工業區工廈亦有不少單位面積較細，適合資金相對有限的投資者。
