133 Wai Yip,
which was acquired in 2013 for HK$930 million (US$119 million), could
fetch as much as HK$1.45 billion, according to a surveyor’s estimates
A mixed-use commercial
building in Kowloon’s Kwun Tong district is on the market, with the
owners likely to get a 50 per cent return on investment made a decade
ago, according to one estimate.
Hong Kong-based private
equity firm Gaw Capital and its partners could get as much as HK$1.45
billion (US$186 million) for the former 13-storey industrial building
with an area of 193,000 sq ft, according to a surveyor.
133 Wai Yip,
which was acquired by Gaw Capital in 2013 for HK$930 million, is
scheduled to be sold at an auction on September 4, according to a
property agency, the designated auctioneer. The auction will be held in
Quarry Bay.
“Kwun Tong, as an
emerging commercial hub in Hong Kong, has become an attractive
destination for local and international companies seeking convenient,
well-connected, and affordable office spaces with considerable
appreciation potential,” an agent said.
“Given its advantageous
location, the property is well-positioned to attract quality tenants,
making it a compelling investment opportunity for those seeking stable
rental income through long-term investment.”
The 55-year-old building
has a 76 per cent occupancy rate and is being rented at an average rate
of HK$30 per square foot, according to the agency. The tenants include
co-working operator Spaces, which occupies the top two floors, as well
as the roof floor.
The property is attracting considerable interest from several parties, according to market sources.
The building, a
two-minute walk from Ngau Tau Kok MTR station, could fetch between
HK$7,000 and HK$7,500 per square foot, a surveyor estimated.
In January, Hong Kong
Baptist Hospital bought a revitalised mixed-use building at 105 Wai Yip
Street for HK$137 million, or HK$6,595 per sq ft, but the surveyor said 133 Wai Yip has seaviews, a better facade and is conveniently located.
“A higher price than what the other building fetched earlier this year is reasonable,” the surveyor said.
In Kwun Tong, considered
one of Hong Kong’s top industrial zones, any building charging HK$22 per
sq ft as rent can be considered as commanding a premium, given that
many properties in the area only charge HK$18 per sq ft or lower, the
surveyor added.
The building’s ground
floor is designated for retail use, while the first and second floors
are allocated to food and beverage operators. The third to 12th floors
and the rooftop penthouse are meant for office use.
The property will be sold
on a “as-is” basis and is subject to existing tenancies and or
licences, if any, the agency said. The sale will include fixtures and
fittings.
In the first half of the
year, more than seven in 10 commercial property deals in the city were
distressed assets, an exponential rise from the typical one in 10
transactions in previous years, according to data tracked by another
property agency.
The trend is likely to persist with about half of commercial property sales tipped to be fire sales, it added.

million on Monday, or HK$74,000 per sq ft, marking the highest price in
the primary market on Hong Kong Island so far this year.

rooftop. Six houses of the project, which is jointly developed by
Emperor International (0163), C C Land (1224), Mingfa Group
(International) (0846) and CSI Properties (0497), has been sold so far,

壽臣山15號獨立屋逾7.1億沽 創今年以來港島區新盤造價紀錄
本港超級豪宅新盤有價有市，近日連環錄成交，由英皇牽頭發展位於港島南區超級豪宅項目壽臣山15號，以招標方式售出3號洋房，面積達9694方呎，以逾7.17億成交，造價創今年以來港島區一手新高紀錄，呎價高達7.4萬。
上述3號洋房，面積9694方呎，屬6房6套連健身室間隔，另連3085方呎花園，更設有私人泳池，以及面積約456方呎停車位、2559方呎天台，值得一提的是大宅配備私人升降機。
每呎造價7.4萬
據成交紀錄冊顯示，該洋房以7.17356億成交，造價撇除內部轉讓個案創項目次高紀錄之餘，更寫下今年以來港島區新盤最高成交價紀錄，呎價高達7.4萬；而買家採35天現金付款計劃。
資料顯示，今年以來港島區新盤最貴紀錄為6億，今年1月由山頂MOUNT NICHOLSON 3期一個分層戶創下，意味有關紀錄保持約7個月即被前述樓王取代，並將售價舊紀錄推高1.17356億或約19.6%。
事實上，該盤今年以來已連錄成交、連同上述個案共售出4幢洋房，合共套現逾17.95億；而項目開售至今若撇除內部轉讓個案計，累售6幢洋房，合共套現逾31億。
6房6套連健身室間隔
壽臣山15號超級豪宅，設有15幢低密度獨立洋房，面積由3727至12073方呎，屬4房4套至6房6套間隔，屬全港極少供應萬方呎豪宅洋房項目。
每幢洋房設私人花園、私人車位以及內置升降機；其中13幢獨立洋房更擁有私人游泳池，盡顯超級豪宅氣派。

北角城中心商舖 叫價3.5億蝕放
投資者放售北角城中心商舖，叫價3.5億元，較15年前購入價更低。
地下1樓部分 100%租出
有外資代理行代理表示，有業主放售北角英皇道250號北角城中心部分地下及部分1樓。該代理指，北角城中心位於英皇道，樓高23層，地下至3樓為零售用途，4樓以上為寫字樓單位。是次出售物業為部分地下及部分1樓，總面積逾40,800平方呎；地下面積約20,722平方呎，1樓面積為20,124平方呎，現時出租率達100%。
呎價8578元 租金回報5厘
現時地下租客均為知名商戶：萬寧、大家樂、花旗銀行等，每個舖位均設有獨立入口；而1樓商舖亦包括多元化商戶，如：中西醫診所、理髮店、香港大學專業進修學院等，場內設有扶手電梯及升降機連接寫字樓層。業主意向價為3.5億元，回報率達5厘，呎價約8,578元。
翻查資料，舖位由錦華實業集團老闆楊奮彬持有，他於2009年，以3.55億元購入，一直持有至今。現時按最新叫價3.5億元計，已低於15年前購入價。他過往亦多番投資北角舖位，如2009年，亦以1.14億元，購入北角英皇道165至175號公主大廈地下1、2、4至13號地舖及1樓全層，去年以2.13億元把物業沽予盛滙商舖李根興，獲利近億元。

粉嶺安樂村 打造物流數據大本營
為配合北部都會區發展，政府推動粉嶺安樂村工業區轉型，區內有不少新式工廈、數據中心及物流發展，其中其士集團投得的工業地擬建12層高工廈，涉及約15.2萬平方呎樓面。
工業地轉商貿創科用途
粉嶺安樂村工業區涉及範圍達351萬平方呎，擁有多年歷史，而成為工業區則自上世紀60年代開始，其中1978年政府制定安樂村工業區的發展方案，打造成為輕工業區，隨着後來工業北移，不少區內工廠轉型成貨倉用途。
政府在北部都會區計劃之中，便提出將粉嶺安樂村工業區由「工業」用途，改劃為「其他指定 (商貿及創科)」，以推動創新科技及新興產業進駐，近年則有不少新式工廈、數據中心及物流發展。
安居街地 料建工廈及停車場
當中其士國際在2022年年初斥近3億元，投得安居街工業用地。該幅用地佔地約1.8萬平方呎，容許作工業、倉庫及附屬辦公室等用途，雖然可建樓面上限為8.8萬平方呎，不過發展商須負責興建一個公眾停車場不計算在樓面面積上限內。按照屋宇署資料顯示，項目在今年4月份獲批建築圖則，可興建1幢12層高工廈另設一層地庫，總樓面約15.2萬平方呎，包括有關公眾停車場。
至於同區由億京發展的安全街18號海迅中心，則在2021年3月開始拆售，對上一宗成交為去年3月，高層單位以約1,168萬元售出，平均呎價約5,785元。
另，區內亦有不少數據中心發展，包括佳明在2020年分別以合共近3.6億元購入的安居街3號及安全街8號，發展商在去年中完成補地價，將會發展數據中心。
當中安全街8號項目補地價金額約2.48億元，每平方呎樓面補地價約2,586元。項目於今年2月已獲屋宇署批出建築圖則，獲批建1幢9層高數據中心，涉及總樓面約9.6萬平方呎，最快於2025年落成；而安居街3號項目補地價金額則約2.19億元，每平方呎樓面補地價約2,453元，以項目地盤面積約1.79萬平方呎，可建總樓面約9萬平方呎。
同區，新加坡豐樹產業於3年前以約8.1億元投得的安樂門街工業地，每平方呎樓面地價約3,750元，佔地約4.3萬平方呎，最高可建樓面面積約21.7萬平方呎，預計2025年落成，並出租予終端用戶或數據中心營運商。
