Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016)
secured the first residential site in the government's Kwu Tung North
and Fanling North new development area for HK$8.61 billion, much higher
than the market valuation of up to HK$6 billion.
The
Lands Department announced today that the tender for a site, Fanling
Sheung Shui Town Lot No. 279 at Area 25, Kwu Tung, New Territories, was
awarded to the highest tenderer, Asset Capital, a subsidiary of Sun Hung
Kai Properties, on a 50-year land grant.
The
site is about 18,567 square meters and is designated for non-industrial
(excluding godown, hotel and petrol filling station) purposes. The
minimum gross floor area and the maximum gross floor area are 66,842 sq m
and 111,402 sq m respectively. Both include the gross floor area of
government accommodation, being a public transport interchange, to be
built by the purchaser.
The government received 10 bids from local and mainland developers last week.

Restaurants driving leasing in non-core areas
Food
and beverage operators are the key demand drivers for the leasing
market, taking the advantage of a low rental market to expand into
non-core retail areas, property agent said.
Half of the 65 F&B deals concluded by the agency since 2020 are in non-core areas with a rising population.
These
areas – Tseung Kwan O, Tsuen Wan, and Tung Chung – have seen an influx
of residential new supply over the last several years, agent said.
With
rents in prime street shop areas declining in the range of 4 percent to
6.2 percent quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter, operators focused
on local consumption saw a chance to lease spaces previously unavailable
to them, according to the agent.

Interest in property remains
About 33 percent of Hong Kong residents expect property prices to rise in the coming year, a bank survey shows.
Citi Hong Kong interviewed more than 500 Hong Kong respondents chosen at random in March.
About 451,000 people checked out real estate in February and March this year, an increase of nearly 50 percent from last year.
About
7 percent considered it a good time to buy a home in the first quarter,
a figure that remains higher than that recorded throughout the eight
years before the virus outbreak.
Around 17 percent expressed interest in property ownership in the first quarter.

In Kai Tak, a 1,349-sq-ft feature unit at the Grande Monaco

other news, the number of remortgage registrations rose 24.7 percent

Chinese builders hone in on northern HK
Chinese
property developers have turned their sights to Hong Kong's border
districts as mainlanders from neighboring boomtown Shenzhen consider
parts of the SAR as a more affordable long-term housing prospect.
The
development plans are seen by some as a turning point, with buyers from
what was once considered Hong Kong's cheaper industrial hinterland
increasingly viewing the global finance hub as Shenzhen's "backyard."
While
Hong Kong's property market remains red-hot, its international economic
stature has come under pressure after prolonged pro-democracy protests
in 2019 and sweeping new national security laws last year.
Shenzhen's
stature, in contrast, keeps growing. During a visit last October,
President Xi Jinping touted it as "a model city," flagging plans to
increase foreign investment.
In
just a few decades, the sleepy backwater on China's southern border has
morphed into a tech hub of about 13 million people, towering over the
fishponds and farmland in Hong Kong's less-developed north.
In
Shenzhen's prime districts, such as Nanshan where tech giant Tencent
(0700) is based, some house prices have already surpassed those in
northern Hong Kong, which is one hour or more away from the expensive
central business district.
"Our
long term view is Shenzhen will be the centre and Hong Kong the
periphery," said an executive at a Chinese developer which bought land
in the once less-appealing north, asking not to be named because he was
not authorised to speak to media.
"People who work in Shenzhen may choose to commute from Hong Kong where home prices will be cheaper."
Hong
Kong Land Department records show that of the six northern residential
plots auctioned off since 2019, three were bought by Chinese developers.
In
a separate private deal last year, China Evergrande (3333) bought
250,000 square feet in the border town of Yuen Long, from Hong Kong's
Henderson Land Development (0012) for US$600 million (HK$4.68 billion).
Property
agents said the developer plans around 200 units in the area and
expects most buyers to be mainlanders. It bought at HK$10,000 per square
foot and is looking to sell at HK$20,000, which it hopes will attract
mainlanders from Shenzhen, an agent in contact with Evergrande said.
In the part of Shenzhen immediately across the border, prices are closer to HK$30,000 per sq ft.
Evergrande
is also selling 2,000 flats in the Tuen Mun neighbourhood - a 15-minute
drive from Nanshan and close to a beach - after finishing a project on a
plot bought from Henderson Land for $833 million in 2018.
Shenzhen-based
Kaisa Group (1638) won a parcel there for $451 million last year, while
major developer China Vanke (2202) has already built over 1,100 units.
Kaisa
said the location, close to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, could
benefit from closer integration between cities in the Greater Bay Area.
Vanke's Hong Kong unit said it was convenient for travel to Shenzhen and
Macau, but added northern Hong Kong is not its sole focus.
Separately,
Hengda Real Estate, the Shenzhen unit of China Evergrande, set the
coupon rate of its 8.2 billion yuan (HK$9.81 billion) onshore bond at 7
percent, near the upper end of the indicative rate range.

觀塘活化項目LT Tower 媲美甲廈
觀塘LT Tower為活化項目，業主大手斥資進行翻新，外形、地下大堂等質素全面提升，與甲廈質素無異。
觀塘曾為傳統工業地段，而近年牛頭角一帶商業氣氛大為提升，包括國際貿易中心 (ITT)、綠景NEO大廈、絲寶國際大廈、俊匯中心等，該地段商業氣氛大為提升。交通方便，由牛頭角港鐵站出口，步行至該廈約10分鐘內，而觀塘道一帶有多條巴士綫前往港九地區，相當方面。
全玻璃幕牆寫字樓
配套方面，牛頭角欠缺具規模商場，要前往apm商場才有較多商店及餐廳，上班人士可前往附近商廈地下餐廳用膳。另外，大廈亦鄰近觀塘海濱公園，可作散步或做運動，甚為舒適。
物業前身為工廈，業主早年作全面活化，現為全玻璃幕牆寫字樓，外形理想。地下及1樓為商舖，目前個別舖位租出，租客包括餐廳、便利店等。據了解，當中有舖位屬地下連1樓，可作餐飲用途。
市場有指活化項目欠質素，而LT Tower一大吸引之處為地下大堂，地台及牆身均以天然石材鋪砌，樓高近5.1米，極具氣勢，比起標準甲廈有過之而無不及。
單位設獨立洗手間
LT
Tower樓高14層，地下及1樓為商舖，其餘為寫字樓樓層。全層面積約1.17萬平方呎，標準寫字樓樓層基本為一層14伙，單位面積約由563平方呎至1,098平方呎。物業間隔靈活。細單位間隔四正，樓底高空間感充足，而分層大堂及通道等質素亦佳。值得一提，是大部分商廈分間細單位，需共用分層樓面洗手間，而該廈分層每單位均可分配獨立洗手間，令配套極為齊全。
至於最頂兩層為特色單位，樓底特高之餘，更內置樓梯連接，而頂層更設有平台，甚有特色。景觀方面，所有單位主要望向附近工廈及商廈。
項目由「燈芯絨大王」江達可持有，他早年購入該工廈，申請活化成商廈，並斥資近3億元進行大翻新，去年尾完成工程及入伙。

工廈買賣續強勢 基金連環入市
工廈買賣停不了，首季投資市場以工廈表現最好，本月份強勢持續，基金連環出手購工廈，作長綫投資。
今年首季投資市場表現理想，特別工廈買賣暢旺。大額工廈買賣上，主要均由外資基金購入。
有線電視大樓 26億洽至尾聲
最近基金掃工廈停不了，荃灣有線電視大樓多層物業，獲基金以約26億元洽購至尾聲，短期正式易手。物業位於荃灣海盛路，涉及樓層包括地下、4至12、21、40樓全層，以及中高層多組單位，總共566,265平方呎，部分連租約。按26億元計，平均呎價約4,591元，屬市價。該批樓面由九倉持有多年，若最終落實，暫為今年最大額工商舖買賣。
據了解，新買家為施羅德鵬里基金。該基金前身為鵬里資產，在港投資物業多年，及後基金獲全球大型資產管理公司施羅德 (SCHRODERS) 收購。
去年尾，基匯資本便夥拍施羅德鵬里，以98.45億元向太古購入太古城中心一座寫字樓。
英皇5.08億 沽觀塘全幢工廈
全幢工廈續成基金追捧對象，英皇集團表示，以5.08億元沽出觀塘鴻圖道82號新傳媒集團中心全幢。物業樓高10層，總樓面約89,500平方呎，呎價約5,675元。翻查資料，英皇去年曾向城規會申請放寬2成密度，重建成29幢高新型工廈，總樓面約14.4萬平方呎。集團於2011年，以約2.55億元購入，持貨10年轉手，獲利約2.53億元。市場人士透露，買家為黑石基金，該基金早年亦有投資本港工商舖，包括2014年以7億元購旺角百寶利商業中心商舖，亦有參與投資領展早年沽出的商場。
外資基金承接工廈情況理想，如安祖高頓以14.35億元，購入葵涌佳寶集團中心全幢，以及5億元承接屯門工廈。另Silkroad以3.21億元，購入粉嶺堅達中心全幢。至於一直在港投資工廈的嘉民亞洲，先後以5.7億元購海裕工業中心半幢，以及1.82億元購三湘九龍灣貨運中心全層，兩宗買賣涉7.5億元。
分析指，疫情下甲廈、商舖租金明顯回調，價格亦難免受壓，相比之下，工廈租金表現較穩定，亦因物流、數據等需求強勁，工廈租售價抗跌力較高，故吸引追求穩定回報的基金留意。由於工廈呎價仍相對便宜，而涉及用途如迷你倉、數據中心、凍倉等均有一定需求，前景不俗，基金投資興趣較高，料工廈仍成投資焦點。

新世界逾13億沽銅鑼灣巨鋪百德新街地鋪及地庫涉2.26萬呎
近期鋪市暢旺，惟主要為細銀碼盤源，銅鑼灣核心區最新錄巨鋪成交，新世界沽售區內翡翠明珠廣場巨鋪，作價逾13億，屬疫市以來最大宗鋪位成交，平均呎價5.75萬。
市場消息透露，上址為百德新街22至36號翡翠明珠廣場巨鋪地下1、2號鋪及地庫，近期獲財團積垂青，業主新世界有見項目非旗艦物業，加上準買家出價極甚進取，落實出售物業，作價逾13億，現址包括一家珠寶金行及惠康超市，以總面積合共約22600方呎計，平均呎價5.75萬，上址月收430萬，新買家料回報近4厘。
平均呎價5.75萬
業內人士表示，新買家看中上述巨鋪既位處核心區，同時區內具民生消費力，進可攻退可守，百德新街住宅大廈密集，過去十多年，儘管珠寶金行及零售連鎖店紛進駐地鋪攻遊客生意，惟民生消費強勁，超市無懼名店高價搶租，疫下更是「鐵約租客」，而且，區內居民屬較高消費一族。
連約回報近四厘
有代理表示，近期鋪位交投頻繁，但主要集中億元或以下盤源，未見大碼貨買賣，一來業主具實力不輕易放售，二來買家在前景未明朗前，不傾向巨資洽購核心區貴重鋪位，寧願轉投商場、工商及商廈，因此，上述為疫市罕見的大碼買賣。
銅鑼灣希雲街單號鋪，面積700方呎，以2515萬沽出，該鋪由髮型屋以5.6萬承租，租約至今年6月，回報約2.6厘。原業主於1970年11月以8.6萬購入，持貨51年帳面獲利約2506.4萬，升值約291倍。
本報於3月12日率先披露荃灣有線電視大廈一籃子樓面，獲財團以22億洽購，市場消息指，準買家為施羅德鵬里基金。上址為一批中至低層全層樓面，涉及寫字樓總樓面合共約56.6萬方呎。
施羅德鵬里基金洽有線大廈
由浸信會醫院持有的九龍灣企業廣場1期兩低層全層，分別於本月1日以約8084萬易手，涉資約1.62億，買家黃樹雄，為亮碧思集團亞洲區總裁。
