Veteran investor David Chan Ping-chi, known locally as the "King of Cassettes," sold a whole floor of office space at The Center in Central for HK$750 million, or around HK$27,811 per square foot.
That was about 44 percent below its peak in 2018.
The 67th floor of the skyscraper with a floor area
of 26,967 square feet and with a view of Victoria Harbour was
reportedly sold with some existing leases.
Chan confirmed the transaction to The Standard's sister newspaper, Sing Tao Daily.
The deal was done by transferring shares of a
company holding the property to reduce the stamp duty, and Chan barely
suffered loss from the deal.
CK Asset (1113) sold 75 percent interest in the
tower for HK$40.2 billion, or around HK$33,000 per square foot, to a
group of investors including Chan in 2017. One of the buyers in early
2018 sold two floors in the property for HK$2.6 billion, or around
HK$50,000 per sq ft. That means the price slumped by 44 percent over
five years.
This came along with reports that the Ming Fai
Building in Sham Shui Po changed hands for HK$85.6 million, or HK$6,277
per sq ft.
Local "Shop King" Tang Shing-bor's family, which
held around half of the stake in the building, was estimated to have
lost about 40 percent from the sale.
It was valued at HK$180 million when the property was put up for sale in March, according to a property agency.
Meanwhile, the Wharf (0004) has applied to the
Town Planning Board to ease the height limit and build 135 units on the
site of Ebenezer School in Pok Fu Lam.
That compares to last year's plan of constructing a
total of 83 flats in the redevelopment project. The average size per
flat was also 39 percent smaller under the new proposal.
The developer paid HK$700 million together with
four sites totaling 190,000 sq ft in Tung Chung to the school in
exchange for the redevelopment of the current site of the school two
years ago.
In the primary market, Sun Hung Kai Properties
(0016) said the second round of sales of 322 flats - 310 on price lists
and 12 via tender - at Yoho West in Tuen Mun will take place on Saturday.
Elsewhere, rental housing firm Dash Living has
launched a new co-living apartment in Sheung Wan, offering 148 suites
ranging from 140 to 250 sq ft for long and short stays. Besides having
their own rooms tenants will share a working area, kitchen and terrace.

Hong Kong ‘Shop King’ Tang Shing-bor’s family to raise US$310 million by selling assets including a hotel at a 28% discount
The
598-room Hotel Cozi Harbour View in Kwun Tong is being offered for sale
at a price of HK$2.22 billion, a discount of 28 per cent to last year’s
asking price
A
56.7 per cent stake in the Jone Mult Industrial Building is up for sale
at a price of HK$180 million, which is 16 per cent lower than
prevailing prices
The family of late “Shop
King” Tang Shing-bor is raising HK$2.4 billion (US$310 million) by
selling a hotel at a 28 per cent discount and disposing of a majority
stake in an East Kowloon industrial building, as it continues an asset
selling campaign which began at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in
2020.
The family has offered
the 598-room Hotel Cozi Harbour View in Kwun Tong for sale at a price of
HK$2.22 billion, a discount of 28 per cent or HK$880 million to its
asking price of HK$3.1 billion in March last year. It is also selling a
56.7 per cent stake in the Jone Mult Industrial Building at 169 Wai Yip
Street in Kwun Tong for HK$180 million.
Completed in 2007, Hotel
Cozi Harbour View at 163 Wai Yip Street is a 32-storey hotel that
occupies a site area of 19,050 sq ft. Its total gross floor area of
around 235,300 sq ft hosts 598 guestrooms.
“With
the consistent growth in business activities within the district, the
shortage of hotels will become more noticeable,” a property agency said
in a statement on Monday. “This situation presents a potential for
higher appreciation.”
“Apart
from continuing to be used as a hotel, the property also has the
potential to be reimagined as student dormitories to meet the growing
demand in the market, or to be transformed into talent apartments to
seize the opportunities brought by the government’s talent attraction
scheme.”
The
14-storey Jone Mult Industrial Building is an industry development
spanning a site area of 10,200 sq ft. The 56.7 per cent stake released
for sale represents a total saleable area of 42,000 sq ft. It is
currently on sale at HK$4,200 per square foot, which is around 16 per
cent lower than the average transaction price of neighbouring industrial
buildings in recent years, according to the agency.
Since
Tang’s death in May 2021, the family has sold dozens of real estate
assets, ranging from en bloc properties and shops, to offices and
parking spaces, some of them at huge losses.
The
family put up two hotels for sale this year. The 199-room Hotel Ease
Mong Kok went on sale in July, after the 119-room Hotel Ease Lai Chi Kok
was put on the market the previous month.
The
Tang family put the Hotel Ease Mong Kok on sale for HK$730 million,
according to another property agency, the sole agent for the sale. That
is a discount of more than 30 per cent from its acquisition price of
HK$1.1 billion in 2018, according to government records.
A local investor had bought the asset for HK$560 million, the agency said in a report in October, about half the 2018 price tag.
Hotel
Ease Lai Chi Kok, the 21-storey property, which was refurbished last
year, is estimated to be worth HK$410 million, according to the first
agency.

代理行：工商舖註冊量按月升15.5%
有本港代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示，上月工商舖註冊量共錄261宗，按月增約15.5%，金額錄28.73億元，按月升約19.4%，雖有回升，但與年內高位仍有距離，相信減辣影響尚未完全反映。
金額28.73億按月升約19.4%
工商舖三板塊宗數按月全線上升，商舖錄85宗登記，按月增約37.1%，表現最佳，其次為工廈及商廈，最新各錄125宗及51宗註冊，按月分別升約7.8%及6.3%。
若按金額劃分，11月份註冊量最多為價值500萬元或以下物業錄140宗註冊，按月升約13.8%，500萬至1000萬元，以及1000萬以上至2000萬元註冊，分別錄62宗及36宗登記，按月增約29.2%及5.9%。價值逾2000萬至5000萬元錄14宗註冊，按月減約12.5%，是唯一下跌類別。
錄5宗逾億元買賣
上月錄5宗逾億元註冊，商廈及工廈板塊分別錄3宗及2宗，商廈包括政府破欠基金以約2.33億元購入觀塘偉業街108號絲寶國際大廈21樓全層。灣仔資本中心14樓全層以約1.46億元售出，屬銀主盤，呎價約12000元，低市價成交。觀塘成業街16號怡生工業中心G-H座共6個地廠單位及長沙灣道800號香港紗廠工業大廈1及2期5樓3個單位，分別以1.9億及1.6億元成交。
該行代理指出，雖然上月工商舖註冊略見回升，但比較今年高位仍有距離，相信「減辣」後對市場利好作用需時反映。面對本地股票低迷以及長假期來臨，預料工商舖交投量維持低迷。

觀塘市中心重建 減商業增住宅
九龍東核心商業區之一觀塘，未來有至少4個項目待推，總樓面涉逾500萬平方呎，當中以位於市建局觀塘市中心第4、5區的重建項目的規模最大。當局最新修訂發展計劃，擬減少商業樓面，並新增約1,750伙住宅，意味區內日後再現地標式綜合項目落成，但其落成日期料延遲約5年至2033年。
地標式綜合發展 添1750戶
前述的觀塘市中心第4、5區於去年底推出招標，惟用地於今年1月截標時僅接1份來自新地
(00016) 的標書，最終亦流標收場。而為增加項目的吸引力，規劃署最新建議將原有的「綜合發展區 (1)」地帶，改劃為「其他指定
(混合用途)」地帶，並將項目的總地積比率增加至約12倍，令項目的最高總樓面面積增至約270.3萬平方呎，較舊方案增約25%。
同時，是次最顯著的變化是項目將加入住宅元素，由於市建局擬為項目引入「垂直城市」(Vertical City) 的發展理念，項目將增建1,750伙住宅，預計容納約4,025人，但舊方案僅提供商業部分。
另外，商業部分的樓面，則會由舊方案約207萬平方呎，降低約兩成至165.4萬平方呎，但未有再細分寫字樓、零售及酒店等類別，期望給予發展商更大彈性。據項目的規劃圖所示，項目的低層主要為商業、政府、機構或社區設施，中高層則可作住宅或商業用途。除外，項目的建築高度限制擬放寬至主水平基準上360米，即有機會取代中環中心成為全港第5高的摩天大樓，也是九龍區第2高、僅次於環球貿易廣場 (ICC，約484米高)。若以住宅項目計，日後有望成為全港最高住宅項目，超越約270米高的九龍站天璽。
觀塘行動區 已申撥款料2026推
而另一大型重建計劃是「觀塘行動區」，涵蓋觀塘碼頭廣場寵物公園及比鄰巴士總站等用地，政府建議將用地改劃為「商業」發展用途，以發展辦公室、零售、服務行業及/或食肆用途，並提供公共交通交滙處，及公眾休憩空間，總樓面約93.3萬平方呎。發展局去年已向政府申請約6.1億元撥款，為用地興建多條新的道路、有蓋行人天橋等設施，料獲批撥款後，工程將在約4年內完成，即有機會在2026年左右推出。
區內的舊樓亦一直吸引發展商及財團收購，其中伯恩光學楊建文家族於今年4月已以底價約23.49億元，成功統一業發工業大廈1期的業權。楊氏家族於2017年亦已以約16.2億元統一業發工業大廈2期業權，並於2021年已連同比鄰的1期地盤，及年運工業大廈向城規會申請一併重建為1幢商廈，相關申請亦已獲城規會批准。
