Hong Kong, hurt by US-China trade war, protests, replaced by Tokyo as Asia-Pacific’s largest commercial real-estate market in 2019

Hong Kong is no longer the largest commercial real-estate market in Asia-Pacific, having lost its crown to Tokyo in 2019, data and analytics firm Real Capital Analytics said on Thursday.

Tokyo and Seoul took the first two spots. In 2018, they were in second and third spots, behind Hong Kong.

“After experiencing years of strong rental and capital value growth, Hong Kong’s property market is entering a downward phase while the local economy faces pressure from both external and internal volatility and tensions,” a managing director from an international agency firm said.

Since June, the city has been rocked by its worst political crisis in decades, with anti-government protests hurting Hong Kong’s tourism and retail sectors in particular. It was also affected by the US-China trade war, which weighed on trade and investment activity.

In the next 12 months, Hong Kong is likely to be a buyers’ market, with property prices returning to a more reasonable level. This, in turn, will prompt investors to seize opportunities and seek huge discounts.

“Affluent investors and institutional funds are also eyeing opportunities presented by distressed sales of assets,” the agent said.

Business activity in Hong Kong has also been affected by the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, which will have “short-term implications on investment volume”, according to another property consultancy. The company added that, with the exception of 2018, owing to a one-off large commercial property deal in Hong Kong, Tokyo had always been the largest commercial real-estate market in Asia-Pacific.

“Funds across the region have raised capital in the past two years, which they are looking for somewhere to deploy. Japan is an attractive destination because of the depth and the breadth of its market, as well as low interest costs,” property consultant said Pacific.

The Japanese capital is likely to remain an investors’ darling as demand is expected to continue to outstrip supply, particularly when it comes to offices.

“In Tokyo’s office market, asset performance remains solid. A near-term increase in pre-commitments already exceeding 70 per cent of 2020 supply has reduced vacancy, keeping the average rental growth around 3 per cent,” the agent said.

Meanwhile, domestic investors had ramped up activity in Seoul’s commercial property, which had “more than tripled in the period”, a commercial real estate analytics company said. “Investment momentum in Seoul has been building for some time,” it said.

Sydney remains the fourth-largest commercial market in the region, while Beijing has leapt three notches to take the fifth spot. “The metro [Beijing] registered a record year for income-producing deal activity and climbed into fifth place,” it said.

去中環化持續 空置率5年高

2019年商廈整體租金向下,有代理統計顯示,在去中環化加快下,中區空置率升至5年高位。

據代理數據顯示,上月各區甲廈租金普遍向下,中環租金跌勢持續,傳統商廈及超甲廈租金按月跌約1%,而金鐘區跌3.1%,為港島區最高。九龍區尖沙咀、東九龍等,均呈現下跌,全港僅港島東較平穩。

中環全年租金跌14%

總括2019年,整體中環商廈租金跌14.3%,而超甲廈跌幅更高見18.7%,為各區之冠,而灣仔及銅鑼灣,全年跌逾7%。受惠於去中環化加快,港島東租金逆市向上,全年升幅為2.4%,另租務較旺的港島東,跌幅約3.6%。代理指,目前各區空置率向上,包括中環3.4%、金鐘5.6%、灣仔5%,以及銅鑼灣4.1%,各區為近5年最高。

近日整體商廈租務不算活躍,市場消息指出,中環交易廣場112樓全層,面積約1.3萬平方呎,獲廣發銀行承租,屬近月較少出現中資租用本港超甲級商廈。據了解,該集團於香港設有辦公室,惟樓面面積較細,如今擴充業務,租用全層樓面。是次成交呎租約140元。據悉,該廈為中環指標商廈之一,去年高峰期呎租高見160170元,如今租金回調約15%

宏利擴充 租觀塘全層

非核心區租務相對理想,市場消息稱,領展 00823 旗下觀塘商廈項目海濱匯,錄得全層租務成交,涉及物業11樓,樓面面積約5.2萬平方呎,每平方呎租金約30元,新租客為宏利保險。項目樓高23層,去年入伙,出租面積近90萬平方呎,據悉出租率逾7成。

近期保險業有所擴充,友邦保險洽租尖東海港城港威大廈全層2.5萬呎,呎租約60元,消息指,尖沙咀港威大廈錄得全層租務,涉及永明金融大樓高層全層,面積約2.5萬平方呎,獲友邦保險積極洽租,估計呎租水平約60元。

代理指,2020年整體商廈租務暫仍未活躍,機構採取觀望態度,而在控制成本下,呎租100元或以下的中環商廈,仍獲不少機構垂青。

Virus strikes housing market as buyers lie low

The Wuhan coronavirus outbreak has continued to dent the sentiment in Hong Kong's property market as buyers pull out of home purchase deals, home viewings plunge and the secondary market sees more price cuts.

A prospective homebuyer forfeited a deposit of around HK$340,000 after pulling out of the purchase of a 437-sq-ft flat at Emerald Bay in Tuen Mun, which was priced at HK$6.82 million, or HK$15,606 per sq ft.

Some major developers continued to open their sales offices despite the escalating coronavirus crisis.

K Wah International (0173) said sales offices will continue to open as usual and New World Development (0017) said sales offices have resumed operation since yesterday.

But Wheelock and Company (0020) will close all sales offices except one at The Gateway in Tsim Sha Tsui.

In the secondary market, property agency only recorded three secondary transactions at the ten major housing estates over the past weekend, down by 75 percent week-on-week.

Taikoo Shing in Quarry Bay, South Horizons in Ap Lei Chau and Kingswood Villas in Tin Shui Wai each recorded one transaction.

A three-bedroom flat at Taikoo Shing changed hands for HK$14.8 million, or HK$21,765 per sq ft. A 748-sq-ft flat at South Horizons fetched HK$10.45 million, or HK$13,971 per sq ft. A three-bedroom flat at Kingswood Villas sold for HK$5.33 million, or HK$9,798 per sq ft.

Meanwhile, in the North District, home viewings slumped 70 percent during the Lunar New Year holidays and homeowners in the area are slashing asking prices to woo buyers, according to property agency.

The real estate agency said North District is near the mainland and the SAR government last Saturday proposed to convert the unoccupied Fai Ming Estate into a potential quarantine site for the emerging coronavirus outbreak, making it unattractive.

In Fanling, a 400-sq-ft flat at Avon Park changed hands for HK$4.55 million, or HK$11,375 per sq ft, after about HK$400,000 was cut from the initial asking price. Another 299-sq-ft flat at Green Code fetched HK$4.55 million, after HK$180,000 was slashed from the original asking price.

But another property agency expects property prices to increase by about 10 percent by year-end due to low interest rates and the short of home supply. They believes that the local social unrest and the coronavirus outbreak will not weigh on Hong Kong's property market in the long term.

In other news, the property agency estimates the number of property transactions will rise 10 percent month-on-month to 4,300 in January, while the total consideration will fall 8.6 percent month-on-month to HK$32 billion.

鄧成波標售西貢5 意向價25

大型地皮難求,鄧成波標售西貢5幅地皮,合共13萬呎地盤,叫價25億元,地皮已申請作大型安老院舍暨住宅發展,可重建26萬呎樓面。

代理表示,有業主以招標形式放售西貢康定路12679號地皮,截標日期為37日。據了解,業主意向價約25億元。

翻查資料,項目由鄧成波持有,多年來一直收集該地段業權,包括2017年以7.33億元,購入康定路6號實惠集團大廈,以及康定路1號四洲集團大廈全幢。2018年,再斥2.5億元,購入香港食品投資西貢康定路2號四洲食品網匯中心全幢。經過整合後,如今項目地皮達13萬平方呎,現時樓面建築面積約38.3萬平方呎。

樓面呎價約9615

據了解,現時物業為工廈用途,而地盤現有規劃用途為「住宅(戊類)1」,可重建成住宅,預計可重建成26萬呎樓面,按25億元價計,每呎樓面地價約9,615元。

去年尾,業主就持有的5幅西貢康定路用地,由原先工業項目,申作大型安老院舍暨住宅發展,將共興建58層高混合發展樓宇,合共提供1,403個安老院舍床位,以及99個私人單位。據悉,5幅用地均申請放寬地積比以約2.742.8倍發展,當中1號及6號,將會分別興建成18層高樓宇,涉及總住用樓面約6.7萬平方呎,平均每伙單位約677平方呎。而另一面將留為社福設施,作為安老院舍,若成功獲批放寬地積比,則樓面可提供28.3萬平方呎。據悉,業主早年曾向城規會申請住宅及私立學校發展,但未獲得通過。而康定路79號項目原由北海集團 00701 持有,去年3月獲批興建住宅,但隨後互換轉售予鄧成波家族。

比鄰信置逸瓏海滙

附近住宅項目方面,信和置業 00083 旗下西貢的逸瓏海滙,比鄰為是次標售地盤。發展商於2016年開售,近日售出一個1座地下單位,實用面積852平方呎,花園面積383平方呎,作價超過1,418萬元,呎價16,645元。

Home buyers forfeit $1.9m deposits

The potential buyers of three units at L'aquatique in Tsing Lung Tau, developed by Metallurgical Corporation of China (1618), have forfeited a total of HK$1.94 million in deposits, or 10 percent of the total purchase price, so far this week.

The project has seen buyers of nine out of 80 sold units forfeit deposits since it opened for sale in 2018.

Elsewhere, Henderson Land Development (0012) sold all of its first batch of 30 units at The Richmond in Mid-Levels for a total of HK$240 million. The company plans to launch a second batch after the Lunar New Year holiday.

In Wan Chai, Chinachem Group rented over 20,000 square feet of space of its One Hennessy to fitness group Pure Fitness. The developer said 70 percent of the office building has been leased out.

Secondary transactions in Tseung Kwan O doubled from a month ago to 133 so far this month, with major project Metro City recording 11 deals at an average price of HK$16,638 per sq ft.

A real estate agent said the outbreak of the new virus has less of an impact on Hong Kong home prices compared to during SARS and projected a 5-10 percent decrease.

Primary deals have totaled 1,130 so far this month, and are expected to reach 1,300, 2.5 times higher than a month ago, while secondary transactions may amount to 4,000 this month.

The institution forecasts local home prices could rise 2-3 percent during the first quarter of this year and 5 percent in the first half, boosted by the signing of a Sino-US trade deal and deescalating social unrest.

He also expects the supply of residential units will fall 4.4 percent from last year to expected 12,900 units this year.

灣仔One Hennessy每呎80元租出面積逾2.37萬呎健身中心逆市擴

受多項不明朗因素困擾,令市場觀望氣氣揮之不去,惟部分行業卻趁逆市擴充。消息指,灣仔甲廈One Hennessy兩全層樓面,獲連鎖健身中心以190萬承租,平均呎租約80元,屬市價水平。

市場消息透露,灣仔甲廈One Hennessy兩全層樓面,早前曾以每呎100元放租,獲連鎖健身中心以190萬承租,以總樓面面積約23752方呎計算,平均呎租約80元。

月租達190

代理指出,上述承租租金屬市價水平,雖然市場受多項不明朗因素困擾,惟健身中心近期活躍於市場,成為大手租客,早前市場亦錄另一連鎖健身中心承租中環商廈三層樓面,證明健身行業於逆市中於核心區仍有力擴充。

遠東金融呎租60

據代理資料顯示,該甲廈近期頻錄承租個案,其中,One Hennessy中層單位,於本月6日以112.8萬租出,以面積11876方呎計,平均呎租約95元;另一宗承租為該廈中層單位,於去年9月以100.9萬租出,以面積11876方呎計,平均呎租約85元。此外,甲廈租務暢旺,頻錄承租個案,消息指,金鐘遠東金融中心中層11室,面積2606方呎,以15.3萬租出,平均呎租約60元。據代理指出,上述租金稍低於市價水平。事實上,金鐘遠東金融中心早前亦錄低市價承租,該甲廈中層05室,於本月初錄承租,面積約2400方呎,以13.92萬租出,平均呎租約58元,較市價低約10%,並重回兩年前水平。

另外,尖沙嘴港威大廈亦錄承租,據市場消息指出,該廈高層全層,面積約2.5萬方呎,以150萬租出,平均呎租約60元。

保險業擴充 友邦租港威大廈全層

近期保險業有所擴充,友邦保險 01299 租尖東海港城港威大廈全層2.5萬呎,呎租約60元,早前宏利保險亦在觀塘擴充。

市場消息指,尖沙咀港威大廈錄得全層租務,涉及永明金融大樓高層全層,面積約2.5萬平方呎,成交呎租約60元,每月租金約150萬元,屬市價水平,略較高峰期跌約5%。據悉,新租客為友邦保險。

中區商廈空置率 升至4.5%

保險業為近期相對較積極擴充行業,如領展 00823 旗下觀塘商廈項目海濱匯11樓,樓面面積約5.2萬平方呎,每平方呎租金約30元,新租客為宏利保險,同區擴充樓面。

據代理資料顯示,去年受多項因素影響,整體商廈租務活動於下半年轉淡靜,各區商廈空置率向上,中區空置率更由18年的2.1%,升至4.5%,而整體空置率亦由4.1%升至6.6%。該行預計今年整體商廈租金均向下,中區租金料跌約13.1%,而尖沙咀及東九龍,跌幅料約7.6%6.7%

其他商廈租務方面,消息指,金鐘力寶中心2座高層09室,面積約1,463平方呎,以每月約8.8萬元租出,呎租約60元。

受本地事件影響,近月多個行業審慎,而健身中心為較為積極擴充業務,據了解,華懋旗下全新One Hennessy低層商舖部分錄大手租務,涉及物業12樓全層,合共約2萬平方呎,以每月約120萬元租出,呎租約60元。

據悉,新租客為健身中心Pure Fitness,該品牌近年在港積極擴充,於中環、銅鑼灣均設有分店,是次承租兩層灣仔樓面,作品牌旗艦店。

灣仔海港中心呎價3.2萬售面積3952方呎回報約2.5

甲廈有價有市,再錄大手成交。消息指,灣仔海港中心低層單位,以1.27億成交,平均呎價32136元,較市價高約10%,買家料享回報約2.5厘。

據土地註冊處資料顯示,上址為海港中心111011室,於上月18日以約1.27億成交,以單位面積3952方呎計算,平均呎價約32136元,買家以公司名義登記,名為OSELLIMITED,公司註冊董事為梁偉倫及朱雪華。原業主於2012年購入,以公司名義NOBLETREELIMITED登記,註冊董事為李韻機。

兩年升值約5%

區內代理指出,該甲廈大部分單位由發展商作長綫持有,於市場上放售單位不多,對上一宗成交追溯至20176月,成交單位亦是上述同一個單位,當年成交價為1.2054億,平均呎價約3.05萬,而上述最新成交呎價為該廈新高,以目前市況而言,該單位成交呎價高市價約10%,由於2017年商廈亦並未展現升浪,最新這宗單位成交呎價,可說重返兩年前水平。

代理又說,該單位市值平均呎租約65元,新買家料回報約2.5厘。

另一方面,尖沙嘴柯士甸商業中心亦錄成交,市場消息指出,該廈中層單位,面積1183方呎,以860萬成交,平均呎價約7270元。據土地註冊處資料顯示,上址原業主於2006年以331.2萬購入,以香港基督教協進會(HONGKONGCHRISTIANCOUNCIL)持有,故持貨14年,帳面獲利528.8萬,物業期間升值約1.6倍。

信德中心呎租55

此外,商廈市場亦頻錄承租個案,消息指,上環信德中心招商局大廈低層07B室,面積約810方呎,以44550元租出,平均呎租約55元;據代理指出,該單位因位處低層,加上景觀為主要望向停車場,故租金屬市價水平;尖沙嘴半島酒店辦公室大樓中層單位,面積約11210呎,以86.68萬租出,平均呎租約80元。市場消息指出,旺角彌敦中心低層05室,面積463方呎,以14770元租出,平均呎租約31.9元。

代理表示,長沙灣香港紗廠工業大廈六期中層單位,面積約7206方呎,業主以意向售價約3588萬放售,呎價約4980元。代理又指,物業位處於工商混合地帶,各項配套理想,加上區內工廈需求殷切,大樓面供應更屬罕見,故料上址對用家及投資者均具吸引力,料推出市場後有力被迅速承接。

New home buyers stay on sidelines ahead of lunar new year

Hong Kong's property market stuttered over the final weekend in the run up to the Chinese New Year, with home buyers giving a lukewarm reception to the latest batch of flats on offer in Sham Shui Po, though secondary transactions at ten major housing estates hit a three-month high.

A property agency reported 12 secondary transactions at ten major real estates over the weekend, up by 20 percent week-on-week, the highest in the past 12 weeks.

However, the property agency expects the number of secondary transactions to fall 5 percent month-on-month to 2,200 this month, hitting a four-month low.

In the primary market, CK Asset (1113) sold 30 out of 178 units at Seaside Sonata in Sham Shui Po on Saturday. This came in stark contrast to the previous two weekends, when home buyers piled into Wetland Seasons Park, the first new project in Tin Shui Wai in a decade. The project provides 876 flats, 75 percent of which are two-bedroom units, ranging in size from 474 to 507 sq ft. The rest are three-bedroom units, measuring between 695 and 786 sq ft.

Besides, home owners are continuing to offer price cuts in the rental market to woo tenants. A 390-sq-ft flat in Amoy Gardens at Kowloon Bay was leased for HK$12,000 per month, or HK$31 per sq ft, after HK$4,000 was cut from the original asking rent.

In the commercial market, another property agency said shop transactions slumped 33.4 percent to 1,121 last year, the lowest since 1996. Prices and rents of shops in core areas are likely to plummet by 10-15 percent this year, due to a sharp drop in inbound tourists from the mainland and social unrest.

內地廣發銀行租中環交易廣場全層

中環甲級寫字樓租金出現調整,中環交易廣場全層,獲內地廣發銀行承租,為近月較罕有中資租用樓面,呎租約140元,較高峰期時下跌約15%

市場消息指出,中環交易廣場112樓全層,面積約1.3萬平方呎,獲廣發銀行承租,屬近月較少出現中資租用本港超甲級商廈。

資料顯示,廣發銀行於1988年成立,總部設於廣州,主要業務包括一般銀行服務、信用卡等,於內地設70多間分行。據了解,該集團於香港設有辦公室,惟樓面面積較細,如今擴充業務,租用全層樓面。

中區超甲廈租金按月跌3%

消息人士表示,是次成交呎租約140元。據悉,該廈為中環指標商廈之一,去年高峰期呎租高見160170元,如今租金回調約15%

需求轉弱下,甲廈租金明顯有調整。有代理12月公布每月商廈租金走勢,其中港島各區租金普遍向下,而中區跌幅明顯擴大,中環超甲廈最新每呎租金為162.7元,按月跌3.3%,而區內整體跌幅達1.9%。按年比較,最優質甲廈呎租累跌17.8%。至於灣仔區跌1.2%,幅度相對輕微。相比之下,九龍區租金變幅較小,東九龍按月無升跌,而尖沙咀亦僅跌0.3%

代理資料顯示,由於下半年受本地社會事件影響,機構轉為審慎,整體商廈空置率有所回升,而中環區最為明顯。中環商廈連續多月錄得負吸納量,11月空置率更升至逾4年高位,達到3.5%,去年全年呎租跌約5%,而超甲廈呎租跌幅更大。

觀塘海濱匯全層5.2萬呎租出

此外,非核心區租務相對較活躍,市場消息稱,領展(00823) 旗下觀塘商廈項目海濱匯,錄得全層租務成交,涉及物業11樓,樓面面積約5.2萬平方呎,每平方呎租金約30元。項目樓高23層,去年入伙,出租面積近90萬平方呎,據悉出租率逾7成。

據了解,是次承租全層為宏利保險,該集團總部正比鄰海濱匯,早年購入全幢並命名為宏利大廈,相信是次租用海濱匯全層,作擴充業務。事實上,該集團早於十年前,已把主要業務遷往東九龍,租用觀塘道223宏利金融中心多層至今。

Luxury still costs the earth in HK

Hong Kong ranked the most expensive for premium goods and services among 28 cities globally, followed by Shanghai and Tokyo, Swiss bank Julius Baer found in its Global Wealth and Lifestyle Report 2020.

The report surveyed the price trends of luxury goods and services in the Julius Baer Lifestyle Index, which tracks 20 items across the 28 cities.

The index showed that Asia is the most expensive region for high-end consumption, whereas Europe is the least expensive.

Hong Kong ranked above 90 percent for residential property, beauty services, fine dining, business class flights and lawyer fees.

Richard Tang, head of research in Hong Kong, expects the price of small studios in the city to face the most pressure this year as property buyers switch to single-bedroom or two-bedroom homes, given a higher first-time mortgage limit and lower interest rates, and these could also drive up prices of flats priced below HK$10 million.

For units priced above HK$10 million, Tang said it depends on buyers' confidence in the local economy, as these owners generally hold more than one unit and are able to move to other countries. He forecasts Hong Kong will see 1 percent GDP growth this year.

Affluent consumers have shifted to a model favoring less waste, said Rajesh Manwani, head of markets and wealth management.

Prices cut for Sham Shui Po flats

West Park, developed by Hanison Construction (0896), in Sham Shui Po updated its first price list for its first batch of 30 units, selling them for as little as HK$18,696 per sq ft.

The flats have saleable areas from 333 to 493 sq ft, and will be sold from HK$6.07 million to HK$9.28 million after a 8 percent discount offered by the developer. The average price will be HK$18,739 per sq ft.

Matthew Chow Ka-fung, director of project management division said the units are being sold at a "Lunar New Year special price," where prices may be marked up in next batches depending on market conditions.

Agent believes the sales performance will be positive, as two-bedroom new flats for less than HK$7 million are rare in Sham Shui Po.

In other news, the Building Department approved 21 building plans on last November, and Swire Properties' (1971) land in 46 to 56 Queen Road East was approved for development as a 23-storey commercial building with three basements and a total gross floor area of 132,500 sq ft.

Land at 3 to 13 Nga Tsin Long Road, Kowloon City, owned by veteran investor Tang Shing-por and his family, was approved for development as a 26-storey residential and commercial building with two basements.

市況靜 甲廈租售錄低價成交

受外圍及本地事件影響,甲廈租售市場均淡靜,而個別業主減價,租務及買賣均錄低價成交。

據代理發表的研究報告指出,去年甲廈及乙廈售價分別下跌6.1%5.7%。下半年受到市況轉差影響,商廈租售價急跌,去年全年商廈共錄962宗買賣,按年挫53.9%,創1996年有紀錄以來的新低,成交額僅466.9億港元,按年跌59.9%。按區域劃分,港島甲廈價表現明顯跑輸九龍,金鐘甲廈去年挫17.7%,最新平均呎價僅31,944元,是各區表現最差,重回2017年底水平;至於上環甲廈全年亦挫16.7%,是全港第二差的地區。租金方面,金鐘及上環甲廈全年分別累跌14.6%12.8%,分列全港跌幅首次名,租金重回2017年中水平。

觀塘宏基資本大廈 低市價2成沽

近日甲廈市場買賣及租務,均錄低價成交,如觀塘宏基資本大廈中層全層,面積約12,195平方呎,以約1.29億元成交,呎價約1.06萬元。據悉,原業主於2014年,以1億元購入。早前於市場放售,去年曾叫價2億元,至8月份市況轉差,降價至1.82億元,如今大幅減至1.29億元成交,累積減價36%沽貨,持貨6年轉手,仍獲利2,900萬元離場。據悉,該廈上一宗成交於20188月錄得,為低層單位,全層以1.56億元易手,呎價約1.3萬,最新成交價低約兩成。

遠東金融中心 每呎60元租出

租務方面,核心區甲廈近月均錄低價租務成交,如金鐘遠東金融中心中層05室,面積約2,400平方呎,成交呎租約58元,租金較市價低約10%,並重回兩年前水平。據了解,該廈錄呎租低於每呎60元,追溯至20179月,當時該廈高層單位,面積597平方呎,平均呎租約52元。

此外,中環美國銀行中心極高層0102室,面積約3,778平方呎,以每月約22.3萬元租出,平均呎租約59元,單位外望開揚維港海景和山景景觀,並正對電梯大堂,屬優質單位。業主最初平均呎租叫價約110元,現降價46%租出。該廈早前一中層單位,以每平方呎約58元租出。如今租出單位,同樣較數月前低約兩成。

分析指,由於受本地事件及外圍局勢衝擊,主要機構均審慎擴充,甚至個別縮減業務,令甲廈租務市場淡靜,空置率回升而租金下跌,繼而甲廈價亦受影響,相信短期內核心區租務市場仍沒大改善,業主減價空間擴闊,相信租售價仍回調。

港島甲廈租金 年內料跌68%

核心區商廈租金高昂,陸續有不少機構轉租港島區,區內甲廈平均呎租逾55元,惟業界估計受整體市場環境影響,料今年港島區甲級寫字樓的租金下調約6%8%

有國際代理行去年初將香港總部遷至鰂魚涌新入伙商廈太古坊一座,總面積近3.5萬平方呎,涉兩層樓面,據悉呎租較中區商廈低約三成。

至於最為人認知,則莫過於證監會從中環長江中心遷出,轉租太古坊港島東中心多層樓面,包括3334474850樓等,合共9層樓面,每層面積約2.2萬平方呎,合共約20萬平方呎。

區內新商廈亦陸續招租,當中恒地 00012 旗下炮台山電氣道218港匯東,預計今年初落成。項目樓高22層,地下及1樓為零售樓面,涉約1.5萬平方呎,除地下一個商舖外,其他零售樓面已租出,呎租介乎100150元。2樓為平台、3樓以上為寫字樓,目前已租出8樓全層,餘下樓面正招租,中低層意向呎租5060元起,以全層樓面5,500平方呎計,月租約27.5萬元33萬元。

不過,早前有測量師行指,租戶對市場前景審慎,部分節省相關開支,由租金較高的寫字樓搬至同區租金較低的寫字樓,甚至搬至非核心區,在過去數月,不少租戶都有將租賃規模縮小約20%30%

整體而言,因港島區甲級寫字樓的空置率偏低,預計今年港島區甲級寫字樓的租金下調約6%8%

7重建項目 太古坊商廈供應倍增

隨着核心商業區向外伸延,鰂魚涌一帶近年有不少舊樓、工廈重建成商廈,區內7個重建項目將提供409.8萬平方呎商業樓面,落成後將現時太古坊商業區規模倍增。

港島東的鰂魚涌、太古的商業區,由區內大地主太古地產 01972 建立起來,特別多年前透過將廠房重建成太古坊的商廈群,推動整區商業氣氛,而近年亦積極擴大太古坊商業區的版圖,重建及收購周邊工廈。

當中收購多年的仁孚工業大廈、華廈工業大廈,兩幢工廈佔地達5萬平方呎,現時屬於商業規劃用途,鄰近太古城的商業區,預計將會重建成商廈,可建樓面達78萬平方呎。

太古坊2座增地積比 樓面多9

至於比鄰太古坊二座的濱海街4894號一排舊樓,該舊樓佔地2萬多平方呎,屬於「住宅(甲類)」用途,但由於鄰近太古坊商業區,發展商今年初亦曾申請重建成商廈,將地積比率提升至15倍,可建樓面約35萬平方呎,較重建作商住項目的可建樓面約18.4萬平方呎,增加多達9成。項目由太古與恒地 00012 合作收購,並已手持逾8成業權,有望透過強拍統一業權,預計重建計劃亦有望在未來幾年落實。

而已經落成的太古坊一座,以及將在未來兩年建成的太古坊二座,太古在區內近年新興建商廈項目,合共多達約313萬平方呎商業樓面供應,相當於現時太古坊6幢商廈群的規模,意味區內商廈供應量將會大幅倍增。

海裕街地盤 集酒店商業用途

至於前身為舊樓吉祥大廈的新世界 00017 旗下K11集團鰂魚涌商廈K11 ATELIER King's Road,亦在去年正式入伙,項目樓高22層,總樓面面積約44萬平方呎,據知目前出租率已經超過6成。

由太平協和持有位於鰂魚涌海濱的海裕街地盤,近年與政府達成原址換地協議,將會興建51013層高酒店及零售商業項目,總發展樓面約40萬平方呎,包括酒店樓面逾18.88萬平方呎,另設逾12.4萬平方呎樓面作食肆及零售用途,以及寫字樓樓面則逾8.68萬平方呎

大昌行九龍灣工廈 擬重建商廈

政府重啟活化工廈措施後,再有工廈業主謀求重建改裝,由大昌行持有的九龍灣啟祥道20號大昌行集團大廈,向城規會申請放寬兩成密度和高限,重建成兩幢商廈。

申請建232層高商廈

市場形容為「蛋糕」的九龍灣大昌行集團大廈,現為一幢工廈,設有多層停車場,佔地約10.26萬平方呎,鄰近九龍灣啟歷學校,現劃為「其他指定用途」的商貿用途,申請將地積比率由12倍,放寬至14.4倍發展,興建兩幢32層高商廈,以作辦公室、商店、服務行業和食肆用途,總商用樓面多達約147.75萬平方呎。

項目將設有3層地下停車場,兩層零售平台及1層平台花園和庇護層,其餘以上樓面均用作商業用途,並建議將現有跨越啟祥道的架空行人天橋連接至項目的1樓部分,增加闖關機會。

申請人指,擬重建的土地用途、建築高度和發展密度與周邊環境兼容,地面將提供商店以豐富人行環境和體驗,可提供新辦公室樓面及加快區內商貿區的轉型步伐。

九龍灣區內現時有多幢工業項目亦計劃放寬密度重建成商廈發展,如鄰近常悅道瑞興中心,以及九龍灣嘉里危險品倉等等。

佳兆業斥逾5 購西營盤舊樓

佳兆業 01638 剛以35億元奪得屯門地皮,據市場消息透露,該發展商早前已經以逾5億元購入西營盤東邊街舊樓,今次料屬在香港第2個發展項目。

投地插旗 完善大灣區布局

以深圳、珠三角內房業務為主的佳兆業,日前奪得在香港首幅投得的官地。發展商指出,投得地皮是屬集團進軍香港市場的里程碑,青山灣項目比鄰香港黃金海岸及港珠澳大橋,地理位置理想,將能夠與集團現有的大灣區布局產生協同效應。

發展商亦不排除合作開發的可能性,而項目後續開發仍在規劃中,同時亦對本港房地產市場的長遠發展持樂觀態度,相信未來會有更多機會在本港發展項目,進一步完善集團在大灣區的整體布局。

雖然今次屯青山灣項目是佳兆業首次投得官地,不過據市場消息指出,發展商在香港發展早有部署,在去年底已經斥5億多元,收購東邊街19號項目。

該舊樓樓高6層,由25伙住宅及5個地舖,佔地約3,927平方呎,以地積比率9倍計算,可建樓面約3.5萬平方呎,每呎樓面地價約1.5萬元。發展商在去年底收購得來,雖然規模遠較今次投得屯門地皮為細,但料屬於發展商在香港首個項目。

佳兆業傳媒及投資者關係部總監蔡晉則指,集團一直有物色不同合適的項目,而一切消息依公布的為準。

土瓜灣5宗收購 3771

另外,土瓜灣高山道26號錄得5宗舊樓收購,涉及3,771萬元,每伙收購價介乎735萬至808.5萬元不等,新買家為新朗發展(實業)有限公司。

該公司註冊董事包括林小棠、林源森及顏煜奇,料為龐源集團或相關人士,該集團在經營電子貿易起家,在深圳福田開設玩具批發市場、樂器城、惠州遠望科技城和通訊配件城等。

港島甲廈租金 年內料跌68%

核心區商廈租金高昂,陸續有不少機構轉租港島區,區內甲廈平均呎租逾55元,惟業界估計受整體市場環境影響,料今年港島區甲級寫字樓的租金下調約6%8%

有國際代理行去年初將香港總部遷至鰂魚涌新入伙商廈太古坊一座,總面積近3.5萬平方呎,涉兩層樓面,據悉呎租較中區商廈低約三成。

港匯東今年落成 零售樓面已租出

至於最為人認知,則莫過於證監會從中環長江中心遷出,轉租太古坊港島東中心多層樓面,包括3334474850樓等,合共9層樓面,每層面積約2.2萬平方呎,合共約20萬平方呎。

區內新商廈亦陸續招租,當中恒地 00012 旗下炮台山電氣道218港匯東,預計今年初落成。項目樓高22層,地下及1樓為零售樓面,涉約1.5萬平方呎,除地下一個商舖外,其他零售樓面已租出,呎租介乎100150元。2樓為平台、3樓以上為寫字樓,目前已租出8樓全層,餘下樓面正招租,中低層意向呎租5060元起,以全層樓面5,500平方呎計,月租約27.5萬元33萬元。

不過,早前有測量師行指,租戶對市場前景審慎,部分節省相關開支,由租金較高的寫字樓搬至同區租金較低的寫字樓,甚至搬至非核心區,在過去數月,不少租戶都有將租賃規模縮小約20%30%

整體而言,因港島區甲級寫字樓的空置率偏低,預計今年港島區甲級寫字樓的租金下調約6%8%

而已經落成的太古坊一座,以及將在未來兩年建成的太古坊二座,太古在區內近年新興建商廈項目,合共多達約313萬平方呎商業樓面供應,相當於現時太古坊6幢商廈群的規模,意味區內商廈供應量將會大幅倍增。

海裕街地盤 集酒店商業用途

至於前身為舊樓吉祥大廈的新世界 00017 旗下K11集團鰂魚涌商廈K11 ATELIER King's Road,亦在去年正式入伙,項目樓高22層,總樓面面積約44萬平方呎,據知目前出租率已經超過6成。

由太平協和持有位於鰂魚涌海濱的海裕街地盤,近年與政府達成原址換地協議,將會興建51013層高酒店及零售商業項目,總發展樓面約40萬平方呎,包括酒店樓面逾18.88萬平方呎,另設逾12.4萬平方呎樓面作食肆及零售用途,以及寫字樓樓面則逾8.68萬平方呎

佳兆業斥逾5 購西營盤舊樓

佳兆業 01638 剛以35億元奪得屯門地皮,據市場消息透露,該發展商早前已經以逾5億元購入西營盤東邊街舊樓,今次料屬在香港第2個發展項目。

投地插旗 完善大灣區布局

以深圳、珠三角內房業務為主的佳兆業,日前奪得在香港首幅投得的官地。發展商指出,投得地皮是屬集團進軍香港市場的里程碑,青山灣項目比鄰香港黃金海岸及港珠澳大橋,地理位置理想,將能夠與集團現有的大灣區布局產生協同效應。

雖然今次屯青山灣項目是佳兆業首次投得官地,不過據市場消息指出,發展商在香港發展早有部署,在去年底已經斥5億多元,收購東邊街19號項目。

該舊樓樓高6層,由25伙住宅及5個地舖,佔地約3,927平方呎,以地積比率9倍計算,可建樓面約3.5萬平方呎,每呎樓面地價約1.5萬元。發展商在去年底收購得來,雖然規模遠較今次投得屯門地皮為細,但料屬於發展商在香港首個項目。

佳兆業35億奪屯門地 每呎6005元五個月跌7% 力壓15家財團首投政府

政府推地步伐放緩,惟發展商競投反應仍屬進取,其中於上周五截標的屯門青山灣住宅地,於昨傍晚突擊開標,並由內房佳兆業出價35億,力壓其餘15家財團得手,首度奪得政府用地,樓面呎價6005元,符合市場預期,若與去年8月批出的同區地皮呎價相比,5個月間地價則回落約7.6%

地政總署昨公布,屯門青山灣住宅地由內房佳兆業奪得,地價為35億,每方呎樓面地價6005元,屬市場估值範圍,並力壓其餘15家入標財團奪得,而是次為佳兆業首度以獨資形式奪得本港地皮。

佳兆業傳媒及投資關係部總監蔡晉表示,今番第一次中標取地,意味着踏出重要一步,集團認為價格合理,香港短期困擾將成過去,長遠看好市況。至於該地皮規劃及投資額尚未落實。

屬市場預期價

至於佳兆業於內地發展住宅為主,其項目分布於深圳、惠州、東莞及上海等城市。

另外,是次樓面呎價,與去年8月批出,由建灝以每方呎6499元奪得的屯門景秀里與景峰徑交界相比,樓面呎價相隔約5個月,回落約7.6%

蔡晉:長遠看好市況

該地皮於上周五截標時,接獲16份標書,除大型發展商外,亦有不少為中小型財團,而入標財團包括長實、新地、信和、恒基、華懋、嘉里、嘉華、永泰、佳明、建灝、遠展等。地皮位於屯門48區青山公路青山灣段、地皮逾14.5萬方呎,可建逾58.2萬方呎。

萊坊執行董事及估價及諮詢部主管林浩文稱,中標價屬合理範圍,反映發展商對後市有信心,及部分發展商對土地的渴求,因近年中小型地皮供應不多,中小型發展商有需要增加土地儲備及發展項目。

料建中小戶型

他再指,項目將主打中小型單位,估計總投資額約55億至65億,落成後每呎可由14000元起。另外,地皮位於棕月灣附近,同時毗鄰哈羅國際學校,區內商業及生活配套不足以應付未來區內需求。此外,地皮規模雖然不算大,但地皮形狀不規則,剪裁上有一定難度,預料部分單位可享海景。

泓亮諮詢及評估董事總經理張翹楚稱,是次地價屬合理水平,也符合市場預期,近期接連有內房奪得政府地皮,因普遍內地發展商於本港的土地儲備不多,雖然樓市氣氛稍回穩,但仍然較為波動,在避險情況下,部分土地儲備充足的本地發展商,在出價上往往較為保守,而內房亦趁勢以較進取的價錢奪地。

張氏亦指出,因部分內房於本港暫未持有大型項目,若需要維持營運,自然需要購置地皮,而在近期較波動市況下,反而是較好奪得土地的機會。

尖沙咀世紀商業大廈 享地利優勢

尖沙咀一帶有不少商廈,樓齡較舊但位置鄰近核心商場及地鐵站,吸引不少用家落戶。其中世紀商業大廈位於尖沙咀港鐵站上蓋,坐享地利優勢。

世紀商業大廈位置優越,位於尖沙咀港鐵站上蓋,鄰近名鑄及K-11等大型藝術購物商場,加上多間酒店環抱其中,例如香港麗景酒店、怡景酒店及晉逸精品酒店等,有地理優勢。

而項目鄰近尖東,前往紅磡海底隧道巴士站亦相當方便。

地下至3樓商場 不乏食肆

物業於1981年落成,至今樓齡約38年。大廈樓高約16層,其中地下至3樓為商場,店舖種類以珠寶及食肆為主,旁邊街道亦有不少食肆及商店選擇。項目設有2部升降機,前往各樓層。

而項目4樓至16樓則為寫字樓樓層,全層面積約2,416平方呎,每層設約3伙,單位面積由400多至1,000餘平方呎不等。單位間隔方正,未設柱位,方便擺放辦公用品。

由單位外望為尖沙咀一帶景觀,但由於大廈前方為大型購物商場K-11,故景觀有所遮擋。

長情客為主 去年呎價18626

項目以長情買家為主,甚少買賣成交,對上一宗買賣成交要追溯至去年8月,一個低層全層,面積2,416平方呎,以4,500萬元售出,呎價18,626元。

參考比鄰相約呎數成交,利嘉大廈10樓全層單位,面積2,160平方呎,於去年6月以3,250萬元售出,呎價15,046元。

租務方面較為活躍,去年全年錄約5宗租賃成交,平均呎租約31元。最新一宗成交為上月,一個低層C室單位,面積約1,031平方呎,月租31,600元,呎租31元。同區東匯商業大廈一個中層單位,面積約1,033平方呎,同於上月以26,858元租出,呎租約26元。

Hong Kong buyers snap up SHKP’s Wetland Seasons flats in Tin Shui Wai for the second weekend as sentiments improve

Hong Kong’s homebuyers piled into the first major residential property project to be launched in Tin Shui Wai in a decade, as they snap up most of the 335 homes offered by Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) at the Wetland Seasons Park project.

SHKP sold 90 per cent of the flats as at 9:30pm, agents said. With nearly 18 buyers bidding for every available flat, the batch is expected to sell out, making it the second consecutive sell-out weekend for the city’s biggest developer by capitalisation, agents said.

“Potential homebuyers are quick to snap up flats, as market confidence has returned,” agent, and the agent estimated that 80 per cent of the bidders are buying the flats for their own use. “The property market has been boosted by the rising stock market, as a trade deal is about to be signed between the US and China, and the social movement in the city seems to have cooled down a bit.”

Hong Kong’s property market, which took a stumble last year with the combination of the US-China trade war and the city’s worst political crisis, is struggling to regain its footing in the new year.

Investor sentiment improved in January, drawing some homebuyers back into the market to commit to their investments before the Lunar New Year holiday kick off in late January, another agent said.

Tin Shui Wai, which was developed in the 1980s as Hong Kong’s eighth new township to divert population from overcrowded Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, was also the scene of several clashes between police and anti-government protesters. A fight broke out on November 20 at the Tin Shui Wai station, forcing the subway operator to close it, while some protesters obstructed carriage doors, causing delays on the Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan, Tseung Kwan O and Island lines.

The Wetland Seasons Park, due for completion in March 2021, is the first residential property project to go on sale in 2020, and the first new community to be launched in Tin Shui Wai in 10 years, with 710 units offered so far.

The flats are priced between HK$9,995 per square foot, and up to HK$16,284 per square foot (US$195 per square metre), with the smallest one-room studio priced at HK$3.75 million, while a four-room flat costs HK$17.4 million.

To attract buyers, SHKP had offered discounts for Wetland Seasons Park, pricing them lower than second-hand homes in the neighbourhood, and offered a range of financing options with generous mortgages, agent said.

Ahead of Wetland’s launch, property owners at nearby Kingswood Villas, developed by Cheung Kong Holdings from 1991 to 1999, had been selling their homes to trade up to the newer property.

As many as 531 homes changed hands at Kingswood Villas as of December 23, about 3.3 per cent of the 15,920 units in the 58 residential blocks there, according to data by Midland Realty. Prices have dropped to a 10-month low of below HK$10,000 per square foot in some units, where a 550 sq ft flat at the Kenswood Court building sold for HK$5 million on December 20, while a 548 sq ft unit at Locwood Court changed hands at HK$5.5 million, according to an agency firm sales data.

The activity at Kingswood Villas, home to almost 40,000 residents according to Hong Kong’s 2016 census, shows how the residential property market is trying to find its footing after the city’s seven-month long political crisis sapped appetite for long-term investments.

SHKP expected to make land donation

Sun Hung Kai Properties is likely to announce a land donation today after the developer was criticized for not cutting shopping mall rents.

The company will hold a press conference on a large-scale community project, at which it is expected to donate a part of its land reserve for social housing or launch a housing project for charity.

In response to media reports that it hadn't cut shop rents for some of its small tenants, the developer clarified that it has offered rent reductions to tenants based on different circumstances including their operating conditions, and the rent would be adjusted according to the latest market conditions when renewing or signing a new lease.

Meanwhile, SHKP's rental project Townplace Soho in Central will be open for lease this March, with the first batch of 50 apartments offered at a minimum rent of HK$22,000 per month.

Elsewhere, shopowners in Mong Kok are slashing prices to sell street shops. The owner of an 830-sq-ft street shop at Shantung Street had cut the initial asking price by 40 percent to HK$210 million. The current SmarTone store has a rent of HK$450,000 per month.

HKR International (0480) will put five houses in Il Picco at Discovery Bay, sized between 2,023 sq ft and 2,171 sq ft, for sale by tender next Wednesday. This would be the first batch of houses in the district since 2002.

Henderson Land Development (0012) also plans to launch its first units at The Richmond in Mid-levels before Chinese New Year with minimum investment lower than HK$8 million.

In other news, JP Morgan expects housing prices to fall 10 percent this year as the unemployment rate is expected to rise, triggering negative sentiment. But the investment house projects buying sentiment will recovery in the second half.

租金回調 甲廈價料跌1

甲廈租金向下,業內人士認為,受整體氣氛影響,料今年甲廈租售價均下跌約1成。

12月份為傳統淡季,加上近月社會事件影響,多幢指標商廈均乏買賣成交。據代理統計,截至上月中,2019全年錄得約844宗寫字樓買賣個案,按年大幅減少近六成,創17年來新低,資料顯示,2002年商廈買賣宗數跌穿1,000宗至約977宗水平;而全年總成交金額則錄得約566.5億元,重返至2015年水平,對比2018年減少約37%

第四季港島甲廈 3宗買賣

按月分析方面,自8月起已連續5個月單月成交宗數不足50宗,當中9月及10月份更只有20餘宗。事實上,港九指標商廈買賣連月僅錄得零星成交,港島區第四季只錄得約3宗個案,當中資深投資者羅守輝購入上環信德中心招商局大廈中低層13室,面積約1,057平方呎,成交價約2,618萬元,平均呎價僅約24,768元。翻查資料,同層16室,面積約1,638平方呎,於2017年中以呎價約2.5萬元易手。

至於港九指標商廈租賃交投價量亦持續遞減,按成交量計算,第四季累計約70宗,較去年第四季120宗,減幅約40%2019錄得約5,259宗個案,涉及總金額約6.75億元,較去年分別下跌約16%14%

力寶中心5千呎 每呎68元租出

代理分析,由於本地事件令不少機構抱審慎態度,近期少有擴充,租金亦漸向下,故買賣價格同樣受壓。租務成交上,近期金鐘力寶中心1231室,面積約5,168平方呎,以每月35萬元租出,呎租約68元,同區海富中心183B室,面積約5,568平方呎,以每平方呎約45元租出。

對於後市,代理認為,各區空置率整體上升,指標商廈買賣及租務僅錄得零星買賣成交,預計今年甲廈租售價跌約1成。他提到,甲廈業主實力仍相對強,大幅減價個案仍然不多,故料價格不會出現太大跌幅。

Economic slowdown to dampen property prices

Property prices in Hong Kong will fall between five and 10 percent this year, amid an economic slowdown, according to a real estate agent.

Though calm has largely returned to the streets, which may improve domestic consumption, employment and salary growth will be impacted by a slowdown in the economy, the agent said.

The agent expects the property market to boom after the Chinese New Year, adding that the hot sales of some new projects are due to smaller units and attractive prices, but other units are not selling quickly.

In the primary market, CITIC Pacific has collected HK$95.44 million after selling five flats at The Entrance in Ma On Shan by tender so far this month. The developer has launched 84 flats at The Entrance for sale by tender since Monday. The project has obtained an occupation permit.

Also, Great Eagle (0041) sold a three-bedroom flat at Ontolo in Tai Po for HK$24.1 million, or HK$19,551 per sq ft, by tender.

In the secondary market, another real estate agency firm reported eight secondary transactions at Taikoo Shing so far this month.

Meanwhile, home owners continued to woo buyers with price cuts as more loss-making deals were recorded in luxury transactions.

A 716-sq-ft flat at Tai Koo Shing in Quarry Bay changed hands for HK$13.38 million, or HK$18,687 per sq ft, after HK$1.62 million was slashed from the original asking price. Also in Quarry Bay, a three-bedroom flat at Kornhill fetched HK$9.38 million, or HK$15,791 per sq ft, after HK$420,000 was cut from the asking price.

In the luxury market, Decade Or Chun-ping, chairman of Taste of Asia which owns Cafe 100%, bought a 2,520-sq-ft house at Hong Lok Yuen in Tai Po for HK$38.5 million, or HK$15,300 per sq ft. The buying price was HK$4.84 million lower than the HK$43.34 million paid by the seller five years ago. The vendor would incur a loss of at least HK$7.06 million after paying stamp duties and commission fees.

駱克道巨鋪減12%租出裕泰興家族持有呎租33.8

社會運動重挫鋪位市場,惟部分護老院仍積極擴充。消息指,由裕泰興家族持有的灣仔駱克道巨鋪,近期獲護老院以60萬承租,較舊租金下跌約12%,最新平均呎租約33.8元。

市場消息指出,上址為駱克道233243號星港大廈地下D號鋪及13樓全層,面積合共約17750方呎,以每月60萬獲護老院承租,平均呎租約33.8元。據悉,該巨鋪舊租戶為娛樂場所,舊租為68萬,故租金跌幅約12%

護老院進駐

據土地註冊處資料顯示,上址業主於2018年以1.68億購入,並以公司名義溢陽有限公司(RIGHT BOOST LIMITED)持有,註冊董事為梁婉玲及郭卓彥,其中梁婉玲(Leung Yuen Ling Elina)為裕泰興家族成員羅守輝妻子,以最新租金計算,租金回報約4.3厘。

租金回報4.3

知情人士透露,受連串社會運動拖累,市場觀望氣氛瀰漫,對鋪位市場更屬首當其衝,惟同類大樓面放租盤已近乎絕迹,加上護老院需求殷切,於市場上合適供應業相當有限,故促成上述租賃。

另外,雖然市場觀望氣氛仍濃,惟商廈市場仍頻錄成交,市場消息指出,長沙灣億京廣場II期高層F室,面積343方呎,以591.4萬售出,呎價約17241元,高市價約一成,創該廈過去一年新高水平;此外,據土地註冊處資料顯示,由億京發展的新蒲崗萬迪廣場9CD室,於上月11日分別以1588.4萬及2228.6萬成交,合共涉資約3817萬,買家為香港循理會(THE FREE METHODIST CHURCH OF HONG KONG)。

億京廣場呎售1.7

另一方面,上環信德中心招商局大廈高層1011室,面積約5112方呎,以36.8萬租出,平均呎租約72元,屬市價水平。
