新甲廈租務旺 跨國企業追捧
近月商廈租務成交，主要出現於新甲廈上，不少跨國企業趁機承租，作辦公室升級。
據一間外資代理行每月商廈租金統計，港島區整體甲級寫字樓平均租金回落至每平方呎64.2元，按年下跌5.2%。港島區整體空置率在4月份達到12.6%新高，港島區大部分市場的寫字樓租金下跌，其中中環甲級寫字樓的租金跌幅最顯著，按年下跌9.1%。
港島租務成交 集中5千呎以下
該行指，香港寫字樓市場錄得不少內地企業的查詢和新需求。一般而言，寫字樓面積5,000平方呎以下，擁有海景及裝修的中小型優質寫字樓，最受內地租戶追捧，在市場上較具競爭力和吸引力。
其中一幢新預租個案，落在全新甲廈上，涉及一家金融機構，租用中環長江集團中心二期單位，涉及約8,650平方呎。
九龍租金按月跌1.7%
至於九龍區寫字樓市況上，萊坊指，4月份九龍區平均月租按月下跌1.7%至每平方呎約22.8元，連續第3個月下跌。交易以平均面積為3,000平方呎或以下的細交易為主。九龍東的寫字樓租賃活動較為活躍，4月份的交易以搬遷個案為主。
據悉，近月九龍區商廈租務，主要來自啟德AIRSIDE上，最新消息指，啟德AIRSIDE錄得大手洽租個案，涉及物業31至36樓 (項目不設34樓)，合共5層，每層面積約3.5萬平方呎，合共約18萬平方呎，若成交落實，以租用面積計算，為今年暫時最大手甲廈租務個案。
消息指，是次洽租為友邦保險，預計租用全新甲廈，有助提升品牌形象，並由其他使用辦公室單位的部門遷入。近期租務焦點，落在啟德AIRSIDE上，今年連獲多間機構承租，包括華僑銀行、保誠保險以及德國超市品牌等，連同是次友邦租用多層，合共已租出逾30萬平方呎樓面，連同南豐自用多層，令該廈出租率大幅提升。
後市上，該行認為，由於市場缺乏新需求，預計香港區甲級寫字樓短期內的空置率將維持高位，2024全年租金將持平至下跌3%。至於九龍區方面，該行認為，盡管市場氣氛疲弱，一些值得注意的新租賃交易支持上月的寫字樓市場，由於市場不確定性可能持續存在，預計租戶將保持謹慎態度。相信能提供節省成本的資本支出補貼，和租金有競爭力的寫字樓物業，可以在具挑戰性的環境中脫穎而出，預計九龍區寫字樓市場在短期內，仍將面臨供過於求和需求疲弱的挑戰。
