Two in three expatriates living in Hong Kong are interested in investing in local property, and those with kids have a greater sense of security than their peers living in other major destinations, a survey shows.

The news comes as Hong Kong's property market continues to recover with private home prices up for a third month in March and developers rolling out new projects.

The HSBC (0005) survey covered more than 7,000 individuals in nine international destinations, including Australia, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United States.

It showed 81 percent of expatriates in Hong Kong plan to invest in the local market while 68 percent have shown interest in long-term investments such as property.

A majority of those traveling with children agreed they felt supported by the government (90 percent) and local community (81 percent) in the course of settling, one of the highest percentages among all nine surveyed markets, with the global average being at 75 percent.

Meanwhile, in the primary market, phase 1A of In One atop Ho Man Tin MTR station has been named In One Above and the first price list is set to be released this week, according to the developer Chinachem.

The project's smallest flat is a one-bed apartment with an area of 311 square feet.

Chinachem said three show flats will be opened for viewing shortly.

The price list, expected to be uploaded within a week, will be based on the same series of In One's phase 1B and 1C with adjustments made to the prices to take into account different views and seating directions.

The company anticipates that the first round of sales will begin as early as next week.

In new home sales, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said five special flats at phase 2A of University Hill in Pak Shek Kok were sold via tender yesterday, raking in over HK$46 million.

SHKP has released a second price list for University Hill phase 2B, featuring 115 units with discounted prices ranging between HK$13,155 and HK$19,117 per square foot.

The newly added flats include 13 studios, 9 one-bedroom, 90 two-bedroom and 3 three-bedroom units, in sizes of 218 to 546 sq ft.

In Hung Hom, Henderson Land Development's (0012) Baker Circle Euston is expected to be launched with 28 flats up for sale on Friday.

The sixth price list includes 28 flats, consisting of 13 studios, 9 one-bedroom units and 6 two-bedroom units, with saleable areas from 214 to 378 sq ft. The discounted prices for these units range from HK$20,048 to HK$24,092 per sq ft.

Seized US$892 million Hong Kong commercial property put on sale as tycoon Chen Hongtian fights to reclaim it

One HarbourGate East Tower in Hung Hom has been put on the market for tender sale by its receivers, according to a real estate firm

The announcement came after Chen Hongtian said on Friday he was in talks with lenders to retrieve a trio of assets including the property

Creditors have appointed agents to sell a HK$7 billion (US$892 million) Hong Kong commercial property that is among a trio of seized assets tycoon Chen Hongtian is fighting to regain control of.

One HarbourGate East Tower in Hung Hom has been put on the market for tender sale by its receivers, according to a statement released on Sunday by an international real estate firm, which said it has been appointed as the sole agent for the tender.

“I will ask lawyers to study it,” Chen, the chairman of Cheung Kei Group, told the Post on Sunday when he was shown the agency’s statement.

The statement came after Chen told the Post on Friday he was in discussions with lenders to retrieve three assets worth an estimated HK$10 billion (US$1.27 billion) after a “short-term liquidity issue” forced him to miss mortgage payments.

Chen said on Friday that he has plans to inject fresh funds to resolve the “mild default” issue related to three properties, including the One HarbourGate tower and a HK$2.1 billion house on The Peak.

One HarbourGate East Tower has about 279,000 sq ft of commercial space. Completed in 2016 by Wheelock Properties, it comprises an office tower and a two-storey retail space along the waterfront, with 155 car-parking spaces.

The market valuation was around HK$7 billion last year, the Savills statement said, citing the original owner’s provision. The tender will be floated globally and is expected to close on August 28, the statement added.

The One HarbourGate building, bought for HK$4.5 billion in 2016, was taken over by Christopher So Man-chun and Victor Jong Yat-kit of PwC Hong Kong on behalf of Hang Seng Bank.

The property serves as the headquarters of Sun Life Insurance, while the neighbouring West Tower houses the headquarters of China Life, an agent said.

The property has an occupancy rate of 84 per cent, the agent said.

The agecny declined to comment on Chen’s reaction to its statement. The Post has reached out to the receivers for comment.

Chen, whose Cheung Kei Group owns offices, hotels and finance firms, has had at least three of his assets seized by lenders in recent months.

The three properties – a 9,212 sq ft house at 15 Gough Hill Road on The Peak, a flat in Opus Hong Kong in eastern Mid-Levels and One HarbourGate East Tower – were mortgaged with banks for around HK$6 billion, but were valued at around HK$10 billion, according to Chen.

In March, the Gough Hill Road property was seized by receivers appointed by Bank of East Asia, which appointed Deloitte China partners Derek Lai Kar-yan and Ivan Chan Man-hoi as receivers and managers.

The previous month the Opus Hong Kong flat was seized by Bank of Communications, which had extended a mortgage in August 2019.

“Investors in general are still seeking bottom-fishing opportunities, with assets presented at discounts across different real estate sectors, and with some acquisitions being large-sized receivership deals,” another agent said.

“In recent months, the market has already witnessed some receivership deals, and some property owners are now more willing to sell noncore assets,” the agent said, adding that she expects more such large-scale transactions later this year.

灣仔富通大廈 享地利配套齊

灣仔告士打道商廈林立，商業氣息濃，地段中可供拆售商廈，主要為富通大廈、筆克大廈、東亞銀行港灣中心、資本中心及祥豐中心等。而富通大廈位處地段正中心，鄰近港鐵會展站，交通便利。

富通大廈樓高32層，每層樓面約6,350平方呎，而大廈提供合共5部升降機，以一幢分層單位面積不足1萬呎樓面，升降機數目非常充足，可有效幫助疏通人流。

處告士打道正中心 成優勢

交通方面，告士打道頭段及尾段距離灣仔港鐵站頗遠，富通大廈最大優勢是位處告士打道正中心，由港鐵站出口步行至該廈僅需5分鐘，亦鄰近連接灣仔北天橋。隨着港鐵會展站正式開通，由會展站步行至該廈亦僅5分鐘左右，故坐擁兩站優勢。

另外，告士打道巴士站林立，亦鄰近紅隧入口，加上可步行至灣仔碼頭，往返九龍極為方便。

配套方面，駱克道、謝斐道餐廳眾多，有不同國家的菜式可供選擇，而灣仔北萬麗酒店、君悅酒店等，則可提供商務午餐。另外，物業單位實用率普遍逾8成，對用家來說甚佳。景觀方面，前方為稅務大樓，海景受遮擋，即使日後重建亦料受影響，而單位主要望向告士打道，仍甚開揚舒適。

租戶包括 證券行會計師樓

用戶方面，不少上市公司曾購入該廈及租用，如27樓為葉氏化工 （00408） ，另有尼日利亞領事館。至於其他租戶上，有證券行、會計師樓及財務公司等。

買賣方面，物業近年暫未錄得成交，對上一宗成交為2019年4月，為高層全層單位，建築面積約6,350平方呎，以逾1.58億元成交，呎價約2.5萬元。
