Hong Kong is poised for its ‘land king’ as Central harbourfront site goes for tender with up to US$7.1 billion in valuation


The site could fetch HK$55 billion (US$7.1 billion), consultant said, who has appraised its value between HK$37 billion and HK$55 billion.

The tender for the 516,316 commercial site, which could yield a total gross floor area of 1.6 million sq ft, closes on Friday.

The prime Central harbourfront site, the last mega plot to go on sale in Hong Kong’s core business district, is likely to set a record as the most expensive in the city’s history, according to property consultants.

Under the government’s “two envelope” approach for the sale of New Central Harbourfront Commercial Site 3, submitted bids will be weighed equally for design and price. The tender for the 516,316 commercial site, which could yield a total gross floor area of 1.6 million sq ft, closes on Friday noon.

“Considering the plot’s strategic value, serious bidders will be submit high prices as well as innovative designs, as it is the last commercial site along the waterfront in Central,” consultant said.

The consultant expects the site, next to International Finance Centre, to fetch about HK$55 billion (US$7.1 billion) or HK$34,000 per square foot, the top end of his valuation between HK$37 billion and HK$55 billion.

“It is likely to set a record in Hong Kong’s land sale history,” the consultant said.

Hong Kong’s property market has resumed an upward trajectory after being weighed down for several quarters due to the anti-government protests in mid-2019 followed by the Covid-19 pandemic last year. With the city’s economy returning to growth, individual buyers are returning in droves while developers are bidding top dollar for plots offered for tender.

The current record for Hong Kong’s most expensive land is held by Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP). Hong Kong’s largest developer by market value won the commercial land atop the West Kowloon high-speed railway terminus on Austin Road for a record HK$42.23 billion in November 2019.

A surveyor, shared the consultant’s view.

“Given the large size of the plot and its rarity, it is likely to be the most expensive lot by value,” said Lam, who estimated the site could fetch as much as HK$48 billion, or HK$30,000 per square foot.

“The recent sale of a commercial site at higher-than-expected prices signals developers have regained confidence in the market outlook,” the surveyor said. “This project in Central will take about six to seven years to complete and the market could have fully recovered by then.”

Last month, Hysan Development and Chinachem Group bid HK$19.77 billion for a commercial plot on Caroline Hill Road in Causeway Bay, 15 per cent higher than the market expectation of HK$17.2 billion at the top end.

According to Lands Department’s sale document, bidders for the site are required to submit a technical design proposal with a model and a premium proposal in two separate envelopes before Friday noon.

The Post called 10 of Hong Kong’s top developers to ask them if they were taking part in the tender. Only Henderson Land Development said it would submit a tender while others declined to comment.

“We are very interested in bidding; we will participate,” said Martin Lee, co-chairman of Henderson Land, founded by Hong Kong’s second richest man Lee Shau-kee who has a net worth of US$33.9 billion.

Henderson Land and SHKP were part of a consortium that developed the IFC.

Hongkong Land, the largest landlord in Central, was non-committal, saying it does not comment on specific tenders.

“As a key stakeholder in Central, we believe that the development of the Central Harbourfront site will reinforce Central’s premium ecosystem and enhance its appeal as Hong Kong’s premier commercial district,” said executive director Raymond Chow.

Hongkong Land owns a portfolio of 450,000 square metres (4.84 million sq ft) of real estate, including grade A office buildings One, Two and Three Exchange Square and luxury shopping centre Landmark.

Donald Choi, chief executive of Chinachem Group, said the parcel being one of the last sites in Central along the waterfront made it “attractive” and that it was studying the tender.

“However, construction costs would be very expensive due to the rail transit line underground and complex road traffic conditions,” Choi said.

維特健靈老闆1.12億掃新港中心三戶

新冠肺炎疫情下,健康食品銷售持續增長,有相關行業老闆大手吸納商廈。中藥保健品製造和零售商維特健靈創辦人陳曦齡近期斥資約1.12億元,購入尖沙咀新港中心3個商廈單位。

根據土地註冊處資料顯示,新港中心一座511112室,建築面積分別為258725652053方呎,成交價分別為4028萬、3993.7萬及3196.5萬元,呎價俱為15570元,成交總值約1.12億元。是次成交由3家不同公司名義買入,但公司董事俱為陳曦齡,即維特健靈創辦人。

呎造15570 三個月貴6%

上述單位原由同一台籍投資者持有,他於1993年以4650萬元購入54個單位,總建築面積9138方呎,呎價5089元,以是次易手的3個單位成交呎價計,升值約2.1倍。

資料顯示,新港中心同層10室,建築面積約1430方呎,於今年3月期間以2100萬元易手,呎價14685元,而陳曦齡最新購入的單位呎價,則較3個月前高出6%

事實上,不少從事零售行業的投資者鍾情新港中心單位,如樓上燕窩莊董事侯君俠及侯君剛於去年11月曾斥3230.76萬元購入新港中心二座1112室,建築面積2071方呎,呎價15600元。

侯氏二人曾於20193月購入同層35室,建築面積共5338方呎,作價1.28億元,呎價23979元,即前後合共動用逾1.6億元入市該廈單位。

陳秉志減價沽商廈 冀下半年租務轉好

「磁帶大王」陳秉志近日減價沽商廈,他謂趁市轉好加快沽餘貨,而商廈租務仍弱,希望下半年通關後轉好。

封關下商廈需求弱

陳秉志兩年前曾拆售中環中心 39樓,期間售出7伙單位,尚餘5伙待售。業主見近日市況轉好,即趁機推售,並提供約1成折扣,結果非常奏效,5伙單位全沽清。「今次減價只因想盡快沽清該層樓面餘貨,先行套現。」

對於市況,他謂今年肯定勝去年,惟始終要通關才有利商廈,「市場上已沒有負面消息,市況已轉好,但封關下商廈需求弱,中環中心單位出租情況仍欠佳,希望4至6個月後通關,市況便會進一步向好。」

部署上,他謂最近沽貨集中在持貨已久的物業上,「例如很多已購入20至30年的住宅單位,價格已升很多,這些物業可先行沽售。入市方面,現時仍有在市場上物色,先沽中小型物業,年尾可望購入較大額物業。」

金鐘力寶中心質素佳單位多元化

金鐘商廈林立,當中力寶中心二座單位多,面積大細不一,屬區內最具規模而可供買賣的項目。

金鐘為傳統商業核心區,商廈甚多,而區內以太古地產 (01972) 旗下太古廣場為核心,惟屬大業主長綫收租項目,可供買賣的商廈,主要為力寶中心海富中心統一中心遠東金融中心等。以規模計,力寶中心二座合共樓面達130萬平方呎,為散業權商廈中最具規模,單位面積由數百平方呎至2萬餘平方呎,種類多故買賣宗數亦較多。

位置上,力寶中心可謂位處金鐘商廈群正中心,大廈多個出入口,分別連接金鐘廊、太古廣場海富中心等,四通八達。另一邊設有天橋連接花園道,可通往長江集團中心花園道三號等。此外,由於大廈對面為高等法院,故力寶中心亦獲不少律師行租用。

步行5分鐘到港鐵站

交通方面,由金鐘港鐵站出口步行至該廈需時約5分鐘,而近年港鐵新增南港島綫,及日後通車的沙中綫,金鐘站均為轉車站,目前由金鐘前往黃竹坑僅10分鐘車程,日後沙中綫可前往九龍及新界,更為方便。大廈地下設有巴士總站、的士站,加上提供停車場。

飲食配套上,基座設兩層零售商舖,當中包括咖啡室、酒樓及西式餐廳等,而最近亦有新增零食店等。另外,金鐘廊、太古廣場有大量餐廳及商店,加上金鐘區擁多間5星級酒店,設有高級餐廳供商戶作商務午餐。

項目提供兩幢寫字樓,1座樓高45層,而2座則樓高47層。物業一大特色是外形設計凹凸不平,故單位大細不一。電梯大堂設於物業高層地下,甚為寬敞,兼設玻璃採光,環境舒適,為同區散業權商廈中質素最理想。

單位景觀上,部分單位享全維港海景,前方仍有多幢商廈,中低層單位景觀難免受遮擋,另一面享中半山景觀,開揚舒適。

近半年 呎價低於3

由於物業為本港商廈呎價指標之一,近年造價頗波動,數年前樓市高峰期,呎價高見近5萬元,對上一宗較高呎價成交,為去年力寶中心二座2610至11室,面積約3,341平方呎,以約1.3億元成交,呎價約3.9萬元。

受環球疫情影響,整體甲廈呎價回落,該廈亦不例外,近半年該廈成交呎價,普遍低於3萬元。5月份該廈錄得兩宗買賣,其中1座中層2室,面積約1,993平方呎,以約5,900萬元成交,呎價約2.96萬元,另2座中層單位,面積約2,270平方呎,以每呎約2.55萬元易手,與兩年前高峰期相比明顯下跌。

中環地王財團出價趨審慎本周五截標估值逾370億

中環新海濱商業地將於本周截標,為同區罕有大型商業地,由於投資金額龐大,料入標財團以大型發展商為主,部分或合併財團,藉以降低風險,據業內人士指出,預期財團出價較審慎,估值約370億至547億,每呎樓面地價約2.3萬至3.4萬。

中環新海濱商業地將於本周五截標,地盤面積約51.6萬方呎,以地積比率約3.56倍計,可建樓面約184.2萬方呎,其中22.8萬方呎樓面需作興建停車場及政府、機構或社區用途,若扣除相關面積後,商業樓面為約161萬方呎。

恒基:將入標競投

恒基發言人稱,集團將參與競投該地皮;置地執行董事周明祖指出,該商業地皮位處本港核心商業地段,屬市場罕有供應,該項目推出對整個市場具正面影響,同時,集團對任何中環區內任何商業地均感興趣。

有測量師指出,早前銅鑼灣加路連山道商業地皮成功批出,對市場具正面作用,是次中環新海濱商業地,估計有3至5個發展商入標,除本地大型發展商外,部分會以合組財團形式入標,或中標後引入策略性投資者。

置地周明祖:對地皮具興趣

現時雖然不是出售大型商業地皮的最好時機,惟以庫房收益及中區長遠綫發展,亦理解政府做法,如成功售出,可增加市場信心,估計「雙信封」形式招標的流標機會較低,預計財團出價審慎,料每呎地價約2.3萬至2.5萬,市場估值約370億至400億,項目總投資約550億至650億。

另一測量師稱,該項目為市場矚目商業地王項目,因投資金額龐大,料入標財團以大型發展商為主,同時該地皮料吸引區內地主注意,料項目收約3至5份標書,不排除發展商合組形式競投,料每呎地價約3.43萬,市場估值約547億。

老鳳祥旺角「鋪王」約滿撤走完成六年租期業主最新減46%放租

百年老店「老鳳祥」在旺角核心地段、位處亞皆老街與西洋菜南街交界的鋪位經營六年,近日約滿撤走,市場消息指,業主就該「鋪王」叫租每月80萬,較舊租金減46%。

上址亞皆老街67至至69號,位處西洋菜南街大單邊,屬旺角區最旺地段,老鳳祥本月31日約滿,市場人士表示,早前見該金行職員在鋪內清場,並拉閘離開,近日未見開門營業;記者現場所見,老鳳祥貼出告示指,該店鋪營業至6月10日,客人如欲惠顧,請移玉步至同區彌敦道648號或者彌敦道613號的分店。本報分別向老鳳祥及該鋪位業主黎永滔查詢,惟直至截稿時都未聯絡得上。

最新放租80 每呎347

市場消息指出,老鳳祥早於2015年7月1日就該鋪位簽下3年梗約,月租約200萬,及至2018年7月1日續租三年,隨着鋪市回落,續租月租約150萬,今年6月30日約滿,老鳳祥決定撤出。業主黎永滔最新就該鋪位放租80萬,較舊租金150萬減約46%,最新每呎放租347元。

2015年200萬搶租

該鋪位地下建築面積約1700方呎,閣樓約600方呎,來自上海、逾百年歷史金鋪老鳳祥2015年逆市南下,率先於尖沙嘴海防道及旺角亞皆老街落位,勢與本地薑拗手瓜,當時亞皆老街鋪舊租客連鎖服裝店鱷魚恤,月租180萬,老鳳祥在逆市以200萬提價搶租,令市場矚目。

其時,老鳳祥亦承租海防道53至55號海防大廈單號鋪連閣樓,月租約180萬,梗約及生約各3年,惟於梗約約滿時撤出海防道,隨後先後於尖沙嘴彌敦道及旺角彌敦道租鋪設立新據點,並營運至今。上海老鳳祥創立於1848年,即滿清道光時期,是中國罕有的「百年老店」。

代理指出,由2014年發生佔中事件後,國內旅客逐年減少,直到2019年6月「動亂」,以及2020年1月疫情爆發後,旅客大跌99%,靠本地消費根本不能容納這麼多珠寶行業,現在四大核心區一綫鋪租金,較2013年高峰期大跌60%至70%。
