Confidence in Fan Ling buying queue
Henderson Land Development (0012) yesterday sold 46 of 143 flats on the price list for its second round of sales at One Innovale-Bellevue in Fan Ling.
The
143 homes, ranging from 228 to 501 square feet and covering studios and
one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom flats, were being sold at
discounted prices of HK$3.33 million to HK$7.13 million, or HK$13,681 to
HK$17,137 per square foot.
There were also 12 homes for sale by tender.
One
potential buyer said he was optimistic about the future development of
the Northern Metropolis, and he was also cheered by moves to do away
with quarantine rules and cuts in interest rate stress testing.
So he had decided to lay out more than HK$6 million to purchase a three-bedroom flat that would be for personal use.
About 80 percent of the hopeful buyers were people born after 1990, according to a property agency.
The
agency also said that people who bought flats for themselves to live in
accounted for about 80 percent of the purchasers while the rest were
buying for long-term investment.
The
agency also expects that after the completion of the project rents will
reach about HK$45 per square foot, with a yield of more than 3 percent.
Another agent agreed the buying mood had improved with the easing of
quarantine rules last week and the cut of the interest rate stress
testing requirement for property mortgage lending
Although
the number of transactions in the primary market last month was just
602, a half-year low, the agent added that he expected the SAR
administration's continuing measures to boost the local economy would
help the property market.
As
social activities pick up and market sentiment recovers, he estimates
there will be 1,500 transactions in the primary market this month.
But
the other agency is less upbeat about the secondary market, predicting
it could be reporting 6,800 transactions for the third quarter, marking a
low point over 15 quarters. That is seen with the secondary market
being weak due to the impact of the pandemic and the interest rate
hikes.
Transactions in
the third quarter decreased by 37.3 percent quarter on quarter, and
their total value was about HK$57 billion. That was also a drop of 41
percent compared with HK$96.5 billion in the second quarter.
The
agency added that the impact of the government's relaxation of
quarantine measures and the lowering of interest rate stress testing
requirement for property mortgage lending last month would be reflected
in transactions at the end of October.
On
a more positive note, another property agency counted 99 transactions
involving shops in August. That was 4 percent better than July, when
there were 95 transactions.

Hong
Kong property: why the end of quarantine will not end the pressure on
rentals market, with resident departures still a concern
End
of quarantine will help city get back to normal but analysts say the
move may only provide limited support for struggling rental market
The
city’s property sector has to contend with a slowing economy, a stock
market fall, rising inflation, higher interest rates and resident
departures
Investment
professional Eva Wu, a British national, has terminated her rental
contract in Hong Kong ahead of flying back to the UK in December for a
long holiday.
The
small flat, located at Mountain View Mansion in the busy Wan Chai area,
measures 283 sq ft and has a rent of HK$11,000 (US$1,401) a month. Wu
will rent another flat on her return in February, and given the recent
downward trend in rents as more expats leave the city for good after
years of strict Covid-19 restrictions, she is hoping for a better deal.
“There
has really been quite an impact [on rents]. Many people made a decision
at the beginning of the year to leave, heading off to places like
Singapore,” said Wu. “However, there may be fewer [leaving] now after
the need for hotel quarantine was axed.”
From
September 26, overseas travellers will no longer be confined to hotel
rooms for quarantine upon arrival after Hong Kong finally ended some of
the world’s toughest travel restrictions, in a step aimed at
reconnecting the isolated financial centre with the world.
While
the change will help the bustling city get back to normal, analysts say
the move may only provide limited support for Hong Kong’s struggling
rental market, which may not fully recover until all restrictions are
lifted and the mainland border reopened.
Hong
Kong’s rents are currently expected to fall 5 to 10 per cent by the
year-end, according to analysts, after years of breakneck growth before
the pandemic hit.
“In terms of the property market, [the end of quarantine] will not alter overall sentiment,” a property agent said.
“It
will help stem an outflow of people and talent,” the agent said. “[But]
we will not see significant increases in expats until mid-to-late 2023
as we need to see all restrictions and mask-wearing requirements
lifted.”
The
city’s property sector has had to contend with a slowing economy, a
stock market fall, rising inflation, higher interest rates and the
knock-on effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has upset global
supply chains. But it is the wave of departing residents, fed up with
strict pandemic restrictions and Hong Kong’s enactment of a new national
security law in 2020 among other personal reasons, that has been a
major hit.
Once
a go-to destination for high-flying expatriates, more than 113,000
residents – including many expatriates who had earned permanent resident
status – left Hong Kong in the 12 months through June, according to
government data. That is about double the population loss for the
previous year, creating a talent shortage in the financial hub.
The
official index for overall housing rents has declined 1.6 per cent on
year to 179.7 in August, according to data from the Rating and Valuation
Department. It has slid 10.2 per cent since the peak of 200.1 in August
2019.
For
example, in the Central and Western district – which houses the
financial centre – rents have fallen by around 15 per cent from the high
in 2019 because of emigration, a poor economy and an interest rate
upcycle, another agent said.
In
broad terms, rents are about 5 per cent cheaper than last year,
according to another agent. The agent added that there was a smaller
rise in rents over the summer – typically the high season – and that he
had seen less than half the number of expats looking to rent than in
previous years.
“The
market has fewer corporate tenants”, meaning those that typically have a
housing allowance from their firms, the agent said. “Compared to
previous years property owners are worried about the emigration wave and
the early termination of leases. So there have been bigger discounts.”
Another agent expected that rents to fall 5 to 10 per cent by the end of the year along with the general decline in home prices.
For
instance, at Heng Fa Chuen located in the Eastern district of Chai Wan,
one flat measuring 659 sq ft was last week leased at HK$19,500, 22 per
cent less than the asking rent, after being on the market for over four
months, according to information from another property agency.
Meanwhile,
an market index on housing rents, which surveys agents on their market
outlook, sank 36.5 per cent from late April to 38.52 for the week ended
October 2, reflecting a wider rental market adjustment, according to an
agency.
After
the summer high season, when mainland students typically flock to the
city before school semesters begin in September, the number of leases
declined. City One Shatin saw only about 60 leases in September, down
about half from 118 leases in August, according to the agency.
Meanwhile,
rents in Kowloon have fallen for five consecutive months, according to
the agency. Laguna City in Lam Tin saw rents fall the most in the past
five months, down 4.8 per cent to HK$28.1 per sq ft. There is also
expected to be an increase in the supply of rental listings in Kowloon
with the completion of more large housing estates.
“In
the past, landlords were very aggressive in increasing rents, causing
tenants to turn to other units,” an agent said. “It has not been like
that in the past two years. Instead, rent has been reduced to keep the
tenant.”
And
the pressure on luxury housing rents has been relatively higher than
that for the mass market, another agent said. Anxious owners are now
offering discounts and longer rent-free periods, the agent said.
“For
the expat market, we have seen more departures than arrivals in recent
months,” the agent said. However, we do think the peak for departures
has passed, with the number falling from a few months ago, the agent
added.
For listings with rents above HK$80,000 a month or for large units above 2,000 sq ft, demand remains weak, the agent said.
Investment professional Eva Wu still expects the market to remain weak, and is hopeful of reducing her own rent.
“It’s difficult, there is no reason to ask people to return after working [elsewhere] for just a few months,” said Wu.
“Unless the border with the mainland reopens … there will not be much of a rebound if we simply rely on returning expats.”

月商廈買賣氣氛突高漲 連錄4宗「超級大刁」 高銀金融國際中心全幢矚目
今年以來,商廈市況一潭死水,比較去年價量齊跌,不過,上月市場氣氛突然高漲,連錄4宗「超級大刁」,最大宗的為九龍灣高銀金融國際中心全幢,涉資逾65億,大買賣亦包括新世界沽售長沙灣永康街商廈項目逾51%業權,作價近30.8億。
根據本報統計資料,今年以來,涉資逾億元的商廈暫錄15宗,涉資135億,比較去年同期23宗涉資173億,價量齊跌,而且,涉資金額集中於上個月,買賣氣氛突高漲,連錄4宗「超級大刁」,該4宗涉資約117億,金額佔今年以來整體買賣的87%,可見上月市場之暢旺。其中,九龍灣高銀金融國際中心全幢,該宗買賣至今未知買家身分,涉資逾65億,另一說法則指約70億。新世界亦剛於上周沽售長沙灣永康街商廈項目51%權益,買家為新加坡基金Ares SSG Capital Management,作價30.88億。
資深投資者羅守輝亦沽貨止賺,中環皇后大道中118及120號聯盛大廈全幢商廈,作價2.98億易手,平均呎價2.78萬,他於2002年7月以3038.8萬購入上址,持貨逾20年,帳面勁賺2.676億,升值近9倍,買家為杜家駒。還有,旭輝控股沽出炮台山英皇道101號及111號商廈60%股權,涉資13.4億,買家為宏安地產及荷蘭退休基金。
基金30.8購長沙灣商廈
有代理表示,疫市下,工商鋪當中以商廈「最傷」,上月大手買賣以低價主導,九龍灣高銀金融國際中心全幢,市傳以約70億易手,平均呎價只有7000多元,區內商廈平均呎價逾萬元,若該成交屬實,無疑對區內商廈市場大力地「踩了一腳」,更市況雪上加霜;中環聯盛大廈全幢商廈呎價2.98萬,亦屬低水平,項目屬於銀座式商廈,亦屬疫市下受影響的項目。
代理:低價成主流
該代理又說,綜觀上月4宗大買賣,並非市場上主流,目前,分散業權的甲廈交投淡靜,原因是商廈買家一般並非用家,而是投資者居多,在持續疫市下,商廈出租率不理想,連核心區中環空置率亦高達9%至10%,整體市場空置存量多達1000多萬呎,明年更有機會逾2000萬方呎,創歷來新高,令投資者卻步。

赤柱豪宅地王估值逾百億
政府日前公布今季賣地計畫,將推出3幅住宅地,其中2幅更屬百億豪宅地王,當中最矚目為赤柱環角道豪宅地,可建總樓面逾48萬方呎,是該區有大型新供應,並季內屬百億地王之一,該地綜合市場估值介乎約168.1億至206.5億,每方呎估值約3.5萬至4.3萬。
每呎約3.5萬至4.3萬
上述地皮為赤柱環角道豪宅地 (鄉郊建屋地段第1204號),鄰近舂坎角一帶的豪宅物業,如昭陽花園及壁如花園等。項目地盤面積約25.51萬方呎,涉及可建總樓面約48.02萬方呎,估計可提供約650伙,是區內近年最大型的地皮新供應,料日後可發展規模較大的豪宅屋苑。綜合市場估值,上述地皮估值介乎約168.1億至206.5億,每方呎估值約3.5萬至4.3萬,有力問鼎百億地王寶座。
資料顯示,對上一次批出的同區賣地表地皮,為建灝於2016年以28.11億投得的赤柱黃麻角道128號項目,以該地可建總樓面22.6萬方呎計,當時每方呎樓面地價約12436元;意味該區相隔6年再有新供應。
有測量師表示,上述估值過百億地王發展規模大,比山頂文輝道還要大,而項目屬於豪宅地段,料大部分單位享有海景,由於豪宅單位往往需要時間消化,投資期較長,相信入標的發展商或財團不多,料在目前市況下出價必然保守。
另一測量師指出,由於地盤面積大,並且位處豪宅地段,而且在加息後推出,認為該地皮可以成功出售,相信成交價具指標性作用,亦反應發展商對豪宅市況走勢看法。

New home sales hit in downsizing
A total of 3,560 home transactions
were recorded in the primary market in the third quarter, down about 6.6
percent from 3,811 in the second, according to a property agency.
Total
turnover plunged by about 38.5 percent from about HK$43.98 billion in
the second quarter to about HK$27.04 billion, as primary-market deals
were dominated by small and medium-sized units, resulting in a sharp
decline in the value.
The agency said Novo Land
phase 1A and 1B in Tuen Mun recorded the largest number, followed by
One Innovale phase one and two in Fan Ling North, and the two projects
saw a total of 2,377 transactions.
Meanwhile, Wetland Seasons Bay
phase three, a Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) project in Tin Shui Wai,
sold three units through tender yesterday, with the total price coming
in at more than HK$40.72 million.
The
highest bid was for 1,121-square-foot villa RV2, which includes 669
square feet of garden area and sold for HK$15,26 million, or about
HK$13,609 per foot.
Another
agency said there were 47,886 property deals and total turnover of
HK$465.93 billion in the first nine months of 2022, down 36.6 percent
and 34 percent, from 75,568 transactions and HK$705.69 billion in the
same period of 2021.
It
expected the total number for 2022 to be about 65,000, which would be
the lowest in 27 years since record-keeping began in 1996, beating the
low of 70,503 set in 2013.
In
other news, the vacancy rates of grade-A offices in Kowloon in August
was about 11.73 percent, down by about 0.36 percentage points month on
month, with Tsim Sha Tsui District seeing a significant drop.
(The Standard)
Property agency says Hong Kong property sales to plummet to 27-year low this year, as Covid-19 curbs, higher interest rates bite
If the agency forecast holds, 2022 will record the lowest annual property transactions tally since 1996
Sales volumes likely to decline by 15 per cent, but last year was a record year, another agency says
Property
transactions in Hong Kong are expected to fall to historic lows this
year, according to a local property agency, with the first half of the
year affected by Covid-19 lockdowns and the second half hit by rising
interest rates.
Property
sales are likely to hit 65,000 this year, the agency said. If the
forecast holds, it will be the lowest annual property transactions tally
since 1996, according to government records. The previous record low,
of 70,503 registrations, was reported in 2013.
“In
the first nine months of the year, there were 47,886 total sales of
residential, parking, industrial and commercial properties with a total
value of HK$465.9 billion [US$59.4 billion],” an agent said . “The
number of transactions [for the whole of 2022] will be lower by 36.6 per
cent, while the value will decline by 34 per cent, compared to 2021.”
The city imposed its most stringent social-distancing measures
since the coronavirus pandemic began early 2020, at the start of the
year. The lockdown effectively ground the market to a halt, with very
few sales events being organised for new launches.
Moreover,
Hong Kong has been raising rates since March in lockstep with the US
Federal Reserve. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has now raised its
base interest rate five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high.
Commercial banks such as HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong) raised
their prime rates last month to a four-year high, making it costlier to
fund big-ticket purchases such as housing.
A
total of 8,968 new residential units worth about HK$98.9 billion were
sold in the first nine months of the year, the agency said. This tally
is 30.1 per cent lower compared with the same period in 2021 while the
total value is 44.9 per cent lower.
The
sales of new homes for the whole of 2022 are likely to reach about
12,000, a nine-year low after the 9,753 units sold in 2013.
Sales
in the secondary market stood at 25,383 units, worth about HK$226.3
billion in the January to September period, the agency said, with volume
down by 40.1 per cent and value by 41.3 per cent, when compared with
last year.
The
sales of lived-in homes this year are expected to fall to 34,000 units,
potentially a 27-year low, the agency said. The previous historic low
was recorded in 2016, when 34,657 lived-in homes changed hands.
In
August, the prices of lived-in units fell by 2.6 per cent on average to
their lowest level in three-and-a-half years, government data shows.
The sales of homes this year are likely to fall by 30 per cent to 50,000 to 53,000 units, another agent said.
“In
the first six months of the year, during the fifth wave of the Covid-19
infections here in Hong Kong, the market was really quiet,” another
agent said. “Sales volumes are likely to decline by 15 per cent this
year, but last year was a record year for us.”
The
second half is likely to be worse than the first six-month period, as
homebuyers grapple with higher interest rates, the agent added.

九龍區甲廈空置率11.7% 代理行:按月減0.36個百分點
九龍商業區商廈租金廉宜,空置率亦改善,有代理行資料顯示,最新整體指標商廈空置率錄約11.73%,按月減低0.36個百分點,當中尖沙嘴區寫字樓空置情況改善,最新數字為10.17%,按月遞減1.64個百分點。
該行代理表示,8月份九龍區整體指標商廈空置率錄約11.73%,對比7月份回落0.36個百分點,按年減低0.8個百分點,其中尖沙嘴明顯減少,由7月份約11.81%,減低1.64個百分點至約10.17%,惟對比2021年同期遜色,較之前高出1.87個百分點。
新港中心呎租34元減23%
最近新港中心一座中層10室,面積約1450方呎,以呎租約34元獲租客承租,比舊呎租約45元,減幅約23%。同時,尖東甲廈林立,該地段8月份寫字樓空置率錄12.04%,按月減低0.70個百分點,按年對比則上升0.67個百分點。旺角區8月甲廈空置率按月升1.07個百分點至約5.07%,但實質為九龍商業區中最低,對比2021年同期更大幅減低2.49個百分點。
旺角區空置率5.07%最低
該代理續稱,九龍東方面,觀塘區指標商廈空置率有所改善,最新錄約9.56%,按月遞減0.21個百分點,按年跌幅達2.96個百分點,九龍灣因甲廈樓面供應過剩,九龍灣8月份空置率錄約19.42%,比7月上升0.41個百分點,按年略微減少1.04個百分點,但未來數年續有大型寫字樓項目發展,相信區內商廈空置率短期內難以回落。

商廈買賣暫錄210宗按季跌23%
今年以來商廈市場吹淡風,利嘉閣指出,今年第三季料錄210宗,按季跌23%,寄望疫情改善,限制措施再度鬆綁,年內可以通關市況得以逆轉。
有代理表示,近月市況不就,商廈買賣徐徐下跌,綜合土地註冊處數據,2022年8月份全港共錄70宗商廈買賣,較七月份的78宗再跌10%,連跌3個月,創近5個月最少。
8月份商廈買賣量跌值升,登記金額激增41.95倍,主因月內錄2宗疑屬內部轉讓巨額登記的中環交易廣場個案,共涉資518.01億,金額錄歷史性新高的527.26億;不過若撇除相關登記後,月內實際登記總值9.25億,按月跌近25%。
按價格劃分,在7個價格組別登記量當中,錄三跌四升。在跌幅者中,以5000萬至1億以內組別86%跌幅至只有1宗最急劇;而2000萬至5000萬以內及1000萬至2000萬以內組別亦分別大跌85%及71%,各自僅錄2宗及5宗登記,拖低整體表現。
代理行:憧憬年內通關後逆轉
該代理指出,總結第三季商廈登記料只有約210宗,將較次季的273宗大減23%。至於今年最後一季,如果疫情持續減退,入境檢疫限制進一步放寬至「0+0」,則第四季商廈跌勢可以喘定。

正八集團部署明年5億掃貨 廖偉麟:鋪位商廈價格未見底
近年來,正八集團主席廖偉麟成為淡市勇者,不斷出手買賣,不過,近期轉趨觀望,指在防疫措施「0+0」之前,不再出手買貨,鋪位商廈價格未見底,惟相信距離見底不遠,集團部署明年以5億掃貨;而早前購入的上環南和行大廈一籃子鋪位及商廈,則已取消交易。
廖偉麟於今年2月,以1.38億購入上環南和行大廈物業,成交期長達半年,項目早前已取消交易,他指出,取消交易屬個別事件,亦是商業決定,與市況沒有關係,賣方已退回訂金,基於保密條款,不方便透露詳情。
取消南和行大廈物業交易
雖然如此,向來活躍市場的他,近期已轉趨向觀望, 他指出:「除了疫情持續,市場進入加息周期外,料想不到的是,打仗持續長時間,為全球經濟帶來負面影響,更令利息加得兇狠。」疫情持續無期,市況急速改變,目前,他採取觀望態度,暫未打算出手入市。
市況離底不遠 寄望通關
他續說,現時入境隔離「0+3」,比大家預期短,不過,若與其他地區比較,香港競爭力並不足夠,對經濟提振作用有限。「不過,基於0+3的出現,比大家預期中的3+4跨進一大步,因此,我相信0+0即將會出現。」
他指出,為了顧及經濟,相信政府會隨時、或最遲聖誕節前後,宣布恢復通關,一日未通關,經濟難於向好,市況仍然在回落中,現時,鋪位及商廈價格尚未見底,但他相信距離見底不遠,當通關後,市況不會即時恢復,需時至少數個月甚至半年時間,才能夠回氣,甲廈及核心區鋪市將受到帶動。
料通關後市況需時恢復
過去兩、三年間,廖偉麟連環買賣物業,當中至少有4項屬短綫買賣,持貨兩至三年間,賺幅由13%至35%,成為淡市奇葩,不過,亦有部分物業即使低價吸納,但市值跟隨市況縮水,例如,海富中心22樓單位,他購入呎價高逾2.9萬,當時低市價逾20%,近期,湯臣集團購入13樓銀主盤,最新呎價不足2萬,不過,對他來說沒有關係,他有能力看長約,期待好市時善價而沽。
他手上仍然有「子彈」,伺機出擊,廖偉麟表示,他目前手持5億,將會待宣布「0+0」時,開始尋找盤源,估計明年開始掃貨,目標未有改變,仍然是位處旺區鋪位、乙廈及甲廈。

啟德住宅地王估值逾百億
近年本港商業氣氛不景氣,政府早前成功將啟德3幅商業地改劃作住宅發展,當中2幅已納入賣地表,其中有力挑戰百億地王的2A區4號、5 (B) 號及10號合併招標用地,涉及可建總樓面約138萬方呎,綜合市場估值約165.6億至193.2億,每方呎估值約1.2萬至1.4萬。
啟德區近年有多幅商業地以流標收場,政府早前計畫將區內5幅商業用地改劃作住宅發展,其中3幅成功改劃,跑道區2幅商業地則保留作商業用途。其中,曾以商業地方式推出、並以流標收場的2A區4號、5 (B) 號及10號合併招標地皮,最快於季內以住宅地方式招標。
可建總樓面逾138萬方呎
上述地皮由三個地塊組成,並合併成一個項目招標,佔地規模較大,地盤面積約17.25萬方呎,涉及可建總樓面約138.02萬方呎,料可提供約1750伙,是今季賣地計畫推出住宅地中最大。該地由於分割為三塊大小不一的地皮,影響設計彈性,景觀方面料以面向市區景為主。
測量師說,上述項目地盤面積較大,由於鄰近港鐵站、九龍城及土瓜灣一帶,配套設施較為充足,相信項目日後落成推出時,區內不少商業配套及地標建築已經落成;即使近期該區規劃有轉變,惟該地對財政收益大,由於發展規模大,料以合組方式入標,以分散風險。
料發展商合組財團入標
測量師表示,區內3幅商業地成功改劃作住宅地中,以上述用地最大,涉及投資額大,預計發展商出價保守。另外,該地最接近港鐵宋皇臺站,料日後不少單位可享九龍城一帶都市景,參考早前商業地皮招標條款,相信中標者要提供社福設施。
資料顯示,上述合併招標項目曾於2020年5月以商業用地方式推出招標,當時僅截收4份標書,惟出價未達政府就該用地所定的底價,以流標收場,其後改為住宅用地推出。

觀塘市中心重建項目 料掀爭奪戰
市建局將在今季推出觀塘市中心第4及5區重建項目,可建樓面達216.6萬平方呎,屬於近年規模最大的商業項目之一,加上位於港鐵觀塘站旁中心地段,屬於兵家必爭之地。
觀塘市中心重建早在1998年由市建局前身的土地發展公司公布,直至到2007年才正式啟動,涉及裕民坊、物華街、協和街及康寧道等,分為5區發展,前3區屬於住宅或商住項目,餘下屬於裕民坊的部分則為商業發展。
可建樓面216萬呎 罕有大規模
按照第4及5區過往的規劃,基座將會興建逾百萬平方呎的大型商場,並興建1幢60層高的商廈,最頂層作為酒店用途,連同項目內的公共運輸交滙站、社區設施,總樓面約216.6萬平方呎樓面。
市建局早前因應市場意見,修訂方案加入「浮動參數」概念,即容許發展商在酒店、辦公室及商場3種不同商業用途樓面中可以有限度調撥,選擇最適合自己發展的方案,而維持總樓面216.6萬平方呎不變。
今季內招標 估價逾119億
例如,酒店樓面由約34.44萬平方呎,變成彈性介乎0至34.44萬平方呎,換言之,日後發展商可以選擇興建最多為400間酒店房,或不興建酒店;而商場部分樓面則由約102萬平方呎,減至介乎約69.97萬至102萬平方呎;辦公室樓面上限由約70.89萬平方呎,增加至約137.37萬平方呎。
項目早在今年8月初已經開始收意向書,並在上月7日截收,合共接獲24份意向書,市建局預計將於今季內正式招標。市場就地皮估值約119.1億至210億元,每呎樓面地價約5,500至9,700元,連同建築成本,總投資將會達200億至300億元。地皮佔據觀塘市中心地段,旁邊是港鐵觀塘站,南面是觀塘商業區、北面為觀塘住宅區,成為來往兩區的必經之路,有相當戰略價值。
特別是過住新地 (00016) 在觀塘道一帶先後發展多期的創紀之城系列商廈,當中創紀之城5期商場apm更因比鄰港鐵站優勢,盡吸透過鐵路交通上、下班的觀塘上班族人流,將來裕民坊重建成的商場、商廈相信跟創紀之城5期有互相競爭因素,故此市場相信,新地會有興趣競投,以鞏固其商業王國。

安達臣小型商業地 料發展民生商場
觀塘區最近一幅批出的商業地,屬於位置在安達臣道石礦場的小型商業地,由領展 (00823) 以約7.66億元投得,每呎樓面地價約5,501元,高出市場預期。
該幅商業地面積只有6.3萬平方呎,可建樓面約13.9萬平方呎,在商業地而言,屬於偏細的規模,由於地皮遠離觀塘市中心地段,只屬於民生住宅區,故此相信領展投得後,將會以發展民生商場為主。
同區地皮季內推 可建11萬呎
除了上述地皮外,安達臣區內還有另一幅商業地將於今季推出。該幅用地地盤面積合共約5.7萬平方呎,可建樓面約11萬平方呎,較早前領展投得的商業地規模更小,而且地皮由2部分組成,位置相隔一段距離,其中一部分只能興建一些小型商舖,發展潛力有限,地皮估值約5億至6.4億元,每呎樓面地價約4,500至5,780元。
未來觀塘仍然有不少商業地推出,規模最大為鄰近翠屏河的茶果嶺道商業地,佔地約10.4萬平方呎,可建樓面達123.8萬平方呎,過往亦曾經納入在賣地表內。至於其餘大型商業地還包括觀塘行動區商業地、勵業街商業地,3幅未推出由政府持有的商業地合共涉及多達241萬平方呎樓面。

星共享工作間進駐長江集團中心 The Great Room港設第二據點 放眼亞太
近期來自新加坡的公司或基金積極來港尋找機會,除有基金大手購入香港住宅及商廈物業作投資外,在新加坡成立的共享辦公室營運商The Great Room亦在港設立新據點,於核心商業區中環租用頂級商廈長江集團中心全層作為集團於香港第二個共享工作間。The Great Room創辦人及行政總裁洪可珈 (Jaelle Ang) 接受本報訪問時表示,香港是全球一個重要的金融中心,地位毋庸置疑,進駐中環主力服務高端客戶,更是擴大集團亞太區版圖的最重要一步。
末季啟用 市值呎租150元
The Great Room於2019年首度進駐香港市場,租用非傳統核心商業區鰂魚涌太古坊一座全層成首個據點,事隔3年,該集團租用中環長江集團中心45樓全層,作為香港第二個據點的選址,將於今年第四季開幕。
資料顯示,長江集團中心45樓全層可租用面積21334方呎,2018年由虛擬貨幣衍生產品交易所BitMEX租用,當時呎租高達約212元。據現時最新市值呎租,已回落近三成至約150元。
洪可珈直言,因為香港已取消入境酒店隔離安排,多個大型國際活動及會議將舉行,鼓勵不少企業重返香港開展業務,有助推動香港恢復作為金融及商務中心的地位,加上新工作模式興起,現時正是公司開拓新據點的絕佳時機。
她續稱,香港是一個重要的金融中心,對全球企業具有吸引力,目前仍有不少商界領袖或企業的決策人士居住在香港,故集團視香港為發展亞太地區市場最重要的一個戰略地區,「若不能贏得香港市場,就贏不到亞太區市場。」(One
cannot win Asia-Pacific without winning Hong Kong. )
The Great Room新據點落戶中環核心地段,洪可珈指出,中環一直是全港寫字樓空置率最低的地區,長江集團中心地理位置優越,大廈租戶更包括多家國際知名企業。而旗下共享工作間的會員有來自科技、金融、法律及專業顧問服務機構的企業,對高質素、設備齊全的共享空間需求上升,使用其中環共享工作間的用戶,可與金融、銀行、資產管理的世界級企業辦公室看齊。
洪可珈:擬拓京滬日本市場
The Great Room中環新據點設有22間私人辦公室,包括兩間企業辦公室,最大的一間可容納50人。至於私人辦公桌 (Dedicated Office) 每張每月租金由1.55萬元起;每張流動辦公桌 (Hot Desk) 月租則由3600元起。太古坊一座的The Great Room會員亦能使用中環共享工作間的設施。
資料顯示,現時中環區內亦有多間共享辦公室,目前私人辦公桌月租由6000元至1萬元;流動辦公桌則每月3000至8000元。
洪可珈認為,新冠肺炎是加速共享辦公室發展的催化劑,不少企業已陸續採用混合工作模式,令工作地點、時間更有彈性。香港與其他城市相比,寫字樓租金高昂,靈活的工作空間可讓企業更易應對商業環境的不確定性。在疫情後,集團在太古坊一座的辦公室中,有三分之二的查詢來自從未使用過共享辦公室服務的公司,由此可見新需求不斷增加,故對本港共享工作間的前景充滿信心。
The Great Room現時在新加坡、香港和泰國曼谷3個市場發展,洪可珈透露,中環將是集團第十個開設的據點,未來將繼續於香港擴大版圖,更有意拓展上海、北京、日本東京等新市場,期望一兩年內把亞太地區的據點增加一倍。

Hong Kong property sales post modest results in October debut as homebuyers await new policies, expect further rate increase
Henderson Land Development’s One Innovale-Bellevue in Fanling sold 45 flats on Sunday, around one-third of the 143 units on offer
The outlook for property sales in the fourth quarter is not optimistic because of a possible further increase in interest rates
Hong Kong’s first weekend property sale this fourth quarter posted modest results, as homebuyers took a wait-and-see approach ahead of another interest rate increase, and key policy announcements in the city and the mainland later this month, analysts said.
Henderson Land Development’s One Innovale-Bellevue project in Fanling, located in the city’s planned Northern Metropolis area, sold 45 flats on Sunday, according to property agent.
While
that number represented around one-third of the 143 flats on offer, the
agent said the response was within expectation because Sunday’s sale
was the second conducted by the developer within a week. On September
27, Henderson Land sold 231, or 95 per cent, of 243 flats on offer.
“[Sunday’s]
result is not bad for a second round of sale,” the agent said. “The
project mainly caters to young people who are first-time buyers and can
only afford small-sized new flats.”
The entry price at One Innovale-Bellevue, which is designed to have a total of 1,600 flats, is HK$3.07 million for a unit that measures 221 square feet.
The Henderson Land project’s location in the Northern Metropolis is expected to benefit from the government’s plan, which was announced last year, to develop the area into an information technology hub near the border with mainland China.
“Local
homebuyers are taking a wait-and-see approach, as they want to know
what new property policies will be announced by the Hong Kong government
in the coming policy address, as well as the latest developments from
mainland China’s 20th Congress later this month,” the agent said.
Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu on Saturday said he was in the final stage of drafting his maiden policy address, set to be delivered on October 19.
China’s 20th Party Congress, which will commence on October 16, is expected to herald a third term for President Xi Jinping as the Chinese Communist Party’s head, while ushering in a new leadership team.
Sunday’s modest debut of property sales this fourth quarter reflects the short-term pressure on Hong Kong’s housing sector from rising interest rates globally.
The results come after a weak third quarter amid rising interest rates, according to another agent.
“The
outlook for fourth-quarter property transactions is not optimistic
because it is widely expected that the US and Hong Kong will continue to
increase interest rates,” the agent said. “The best-case scenario would
be that fourth-quarter home prices and transactions maintain the level
reached in the third quarter.”
Lived-in home prices in the city fell by 0.8 per cent
in the week ended September 18, according to the a market index. They
retreated by a cumulative 6.1 per cent in 10 straight losing weeks, and
by 11.2 per cent from the record-high in August 2021.
The
number of lived-in home transactions in the third quarter could reach
about 6,800 deals valued at HK$57 billion, which would be the lowest
number since 5,159 transactions worth HK$44.52 billion were recorded in
the fourth quarter of 2018, according to the agency. That number of
deals would represent a 37 per cent decrease from the second quarter,
when the value dropped by 41 per cent.
First-hand
property sales, meanwhile, reached about 4,150 transactions, up 33 per
cent than the second quarter and the highest since the 4,635 deals
recorded in the fourth quarter last year. Their value, however, declined
by 5.5 per cent to HK$36 billion, which reflected how most new flats
sold in the previous quarter were small units.
The agent said that resulted from the decision by major developers to aggressively market new projects for sale.
Hong
Kong’s 10 major banks last month increased their prime rates by 12.5
basis points to 5.125 per cent or 5.375 per cent. That means payment on a
typical HK$5 million, 28-year loan with a 2.75-percentage point
discount to the prime rate will increase by 1.6 per cent, or HK$323, to
HK$21,029 per month, according to a local mortgage broker.
Hong
Kong’s currency has been pegged with the US dollar since 1983, which
means the city followed US interest rates. Although the US Federal
Reserve has increased interest rates by 300 basis points this year,
analysts expect it will further raise interest rates by another 125
basis points around the year’s end as part of efforts to tame high
inflation.

外資代理行:末季甲廈空置率 持續高企
入境措施有所放寬,有外資代理行認為,市場仍需時消化大量甲廈新供應,料第四季甲廈空置率持續高企,非核心區壓力較大。
據該代理行每月商廈租金走勢上,中環最優質甲廈呎租約130.6元,按月跌約2.4%,而整體中環租金亦跌1.2%。至於邊綫地段,如上環、銅鑼灣及鰂魚涌,租金均稍為下跌。九龍區方面,尖沙咀租金按月跌1.1%,按年跌約1.8%。至於空置樓面較多的東九龍,最新呎租約28.8元,按月跌不足1%。
寫字樓租賃疲弱 港島呎租約73元
該行指,空置率創歷史新高的壓力下,香港島寫字樓的整體租金在8月份進一步下跌。寫字樓租賃依然疲弱,很多租戶選擇續租而非搬遷。港島區目前平均呎租約72.9元,今年累跌約3.6%。甲級寫字樓的吸納需求主要來自共享工作空間和政府機構。共享工作空間營運商正在積極尋求優質寫字樓作營運。其中新加坡共享空間品牌the
Great Room,於核心區增租樓面,租用中環長江集團中心2.1萬平方呎。
TEC中環新據點開幕 出租率85%
靈活辦公空間需求不俗,德事商務中心 (TEC) 位於中環士丹利街28號新據點近日開幕,成為集團在港第13個據點。涉及該廈全幢19層,總樓面約5.5萬平方呎。集團指,出租情況不俗,現時出租率已達85%。
據悉,新據點提供500個辦公位,設有共享樓層以及多個獨立辦公室。TEC指,隨着近期擴張,已經佔據中環和金鐘的甲級靈活辦公市場總面積的65%,有助鞏固業務。
核心區供應上,長實 (01113) 旗下中環和記大廈重建而成的長江集團中心二期,將於明年落成。長實再公布標準樓層全層面積約1.73萬平方呎,採用方正及無中柱式設計,並稱提供靈活多變的實用空間,強調戶戶可享維港海景。項目樓高41層,總建築面積達55萬平方呎,標準辦公室樓層建築面積約17,300平方呎,樓層採用方正及無中柱式設計,為租戶提供靈活多變的實用空間。
九龍區方面,該行指,寫字樓交易以細面積為主,營商信心轉差,以及中國內地和跨國公司缺乏需求驅動因素,預計九龍區寫字樓租賃仍將面臨壓力。
該行指,疲弱的營商環境預計持續,業主將提供更多創新和靈活的租賃計劃,以留住和吸引租戶。雖然政府已放寬邊境限制,但市場仍需要一段時間來吸納大量的寫字樓供應,預計下一季空置率將保持高企,特別是非核心區,租金將面臨壓力。九龍方面,料全年九龍區寫字樓市場的整體租金增長將在0至2%之間。與港島一樣,由於租賃活動在8月份繼續放緩,大多數租戶都持觀望態度。

買賣方面,近期商廈罕有錄得全幢成交,涉及九龍灣高銀金融國際中心,以約70億元易手,成今年最大額商廈買賣。
總樓面92萬呎 出租率約7成
本年5月,外資測量師行獲接管人委託,標售九龍灣高銀金融國際中心全幢商廈,並於上月尾截標。據悉,項目正式售出,成交價料涉約70億元。成交價計,為今年最大手物業買賣成交。至於對上一宗最大手甲廈買賣,為去年由億京合組財團,以約105億元購入九龍灣國際展貿中心。該物業樓高31層,總面積約92萬平方呎,每層面積約3.5萬平方呎,據悉未計高銀使用樓層,現時出租率約7成,呎租約27至33元。按物業總樓面約92萬平方呎計算,成交呎價僅約7,608元。
翻查資料,高銀於2011年7月以34億元投得該商業地皮,項目於2016年入伙,一直作集團總部及收租用途。惟近兩年高銀金融陷入財困,故高銀金融國際中心多次傳出放售,及曾多次抵押。

Hong Kong property developer New World expects housing market to feel the squeeze from rising interest rates
Housing market will gradually recover as there is still strong demand for homes, says CEO Adrian Cheng
Hong Kong-listed developer posts an 8.5 per cent increase in full-year profit to US$159.2 million
Hong Kong’s housing market will be under pressure in the short-term from rising interest rates globally, the CEO of New World Development (NWD) said on Friday, after the property developer posted a modest 8.5 per cent rise in full-year profit.
“Such
a turbulent market is stressful for everyone and we managed to record
some gain in earnings,” Adrian Cheng Chi-kong, who is also the executive
vice-chairman, said in an online briefing to discuss the results.
He
said that property buyers in the city have adopted a wait-and-see
attitude amid a tightening interest rate cycle globally. “Buyers need
some time to digest, which will lead to downward pressure on Hong Kong’s
property market in the short term.”
The
company’s net profit for the year ended June 30, 2022, rose 8.5 per
cent from a year ago to HK$1.05 billion (US$159.2 million), while
underlying profit, excluding changes in the valuations of properties,
rose 1.8 per cent to HK$7.08 billion. Revenue was flat at HK$68.2
billion.
New
World’s revenue generated from property sales plunged 23 per cent year
on year, mainly dragged by a 80 per cent drop in contracted sales in
Hong Kong.
Hong
Kong’s housing market remains mired in a slump, reflecting the impact
of higher interest rates and the city’s coronavirus restrictions. Home prices fell by 2.26 per cent in August to their lowest level in three and a half years and have retreated 6.5 per cent this year.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has raised its base interest rate five times this year to
3.5 per cent, a 14-year high, in lockstep with hawkish US Federal
Reserve rate increases. Banks such as HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong)
raised their prime rates last week to a four-year high, making it
costlier to fund big-ticket purchases such as housing.
“But we believe it [the housing market] will recover gradually, as there is still strong demand for homes,” Cheng said.
Asked
about his views about the new Hong Kong government led by Chief
Executive John Lee Ka-chiu and easing of quarantine measures, Cheng said
that the administration was handling the situation pretty well.
“We
hope to see more relaxation and want the city to host more events,
bring back some talent and reboot Hong Kong’s economy,” he said.
After
more than two years of efforts to prevent coronavirus infections, Hong
Kong lifted its Covid-19 hotel quarantine policy for all arrivals from
September 26, adopting a “0+3” model.
New
World said it was targeting revenue of HK$30 billion from property
sales this year, split evenly between Hong Kong and mainland China.
The
company’s K11 Musea shopping centre in Kowloon recorded a year-on-year
increase of 9 per cent in sales during the period, while total footfall
amounted to around 20 million.
The
developer said that the increase in sales was mainly driven by better
performance of its top tier international brands tenants, including
jewellery and watches as well as personal care and beauty.
It has proposed a second-half dividend of HK$1.5 per share, bringing the full year dividend to HK$2.06 per share.

油塘榮山工廈 申建29層甲廈
油塘榮山工業大廈最新向城規會申請將用地由「綜合發展區」地帶改劃為「商業 (1)」地帶,並以地積比率約11倍重建1幢29層高 (另設5層地庫) 的甲級商廈,總樓面約54.5萬平方呎。
申請人指,包括上述項目在內的「綜合發展區」用地早前已獲批作綜合發展,而申請地點亦已獲批建酒店,但申請人強調,該獲批申請並非由是次申請地點的土地擁有人提出,因此申請人不會落實其酒店發展。
另外,葵涌業成街14至15號工廈亦申建1幢20層高 (包括2層地庫及1層平台)的新式工廈,總樓面約16.19萬平方呎。項目於7月已獲屋宇署批出建築圖則。

Goldman Sachs tips home prices to fall for two years
Goldman Sachs forecast that home prices in Hong Kong will fall by 15 percent this year and another 15 percent in 2023.
That came as more shop deals were recorded in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay.
Hong
Kong's property market has dropped sharply by about 8 percent since the
year, mainly due to the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong interbank
offered rate soaring by 250 basis points recently and local banks
raising their prime rates.
Based
on expectations that the Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates
to 1.5 percent in the first three months of next year, Goldman Sachs
believes there are downside risks to the Hong Kong property market.
Amid
expectations of a reopening of the border with the mainland, there was a
clutch of transactions involving shops in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and
Causeway Bay, including the Luen Shing Building in Central sold by
veteran property investor Francis Law Sau-fai for HK$275 million, an
appreciation of eight times in 20 years.
Law bought it in 2002 for about HK$30.39 million and held it for about 20 years, making a paper profit of about HK$245 million.
A
shop owned by veteran property investor Choi Chi-chung in Mei Foo Sun
Chuen was sold to a southeast Asian buyer for HK$13 million, or HK$8,491
per square foot.
With its monthly rent being HK$35,000, the yield is about 3.2 percent.
Since
2019, the vacancy rate of shops has gradually increased, with the total
exceeding 140 football pitches due to the huge pressure piled on by
rents.
For its part, the
Land Registry received 4,835 notifications of sales and purchase
transactions in September, a drop of 7.7 percent from August and 34.7
percent year on year.
Total turnover was HK$34.8 billion, down 62 percent month on month and 48 percent year on year.
In the primary market, Wetland Seasons Bay
phase 3, a Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) project in Tin Shui Wai, has
received about 900 checks for its third round of sales, or an
oversubscription of over 19 times for the 45 units on the list.

Hong Kong home prices could nosedive 30 per cent through 2023 as interest rates repel buyers, Goldman Sachs forecasts
The American investment bank issues a pessimistic revision of an earlier forecast that predicted a 20 per cent decline
High
mortgage rates will continue to reduce affordability and keep investors
away without better economic conditions or more policy support, the
bank says
Hong
Kong home prices are set to plummet by as much as 30 per cent by the
end of 2023, as sharply increasing interest rates continue to make homes
less affordable and repel investors from the market, according to
Goldman Sachs.
The
American investment bank, after revising its forecast downwards on
Tuesday, now expects prices to fall by 15 per cent in both 2022 and
2023, compared with year-end 2021 levels, followed by no change in 2024.
It had earlier predicted that prices would fall by a total of 20 per
cent through 2024.
“This
view change is due to a faster-than-expected rise in and higher
medium-term level of Hibor, and hence mortgage rates,” the bank said in a
report, referring to the Hong Kong interbank offered rate. “This would
continue to pressure affordability, [and] keep investors away from the
market unless macro or policy becomes more supportive.”
Hibor
is the interest rate banks charge each other for borrowing money. The
one-month Hibor has soared to over 2.5 per cent – the highest level in
more than 2.5 years.
Goldman
Sachs’ forecast came after prices of lived-in homes fell by 2.3 per
cent in August to their lowest level in three-and-a-half years,
according to government data.
The
Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has lifted its base interest rate
five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high, in lockstep with
the US Federal Reserve. Commercial banks including HSBC and Bank of
China (Hong Kong) raised their prime rates to a four-year high.
The HKMA also asked banks to lower the threshold on interest-rate stress testing for mortgage lending.
Goldman
Sachs noted that home prices have dropped by about 8 per cent
year-to-date due to the rapid rise in the one-month Hibor and the recent
prime rate hike, which came on September 22.
“With
another 150 basis points of Federal [Reserve] rate hikes expected by
the first quarter of 2023, we expect further downside risks to the
residential property market, which could mean continued price falls and
low transaction activity,” the report said. “We believe a 30 per cent
price correction is more likely.”
Other
factors include a supply of properties that is gradually rising with
higher plot ratios for farmland and the release of more public supply.
Meanwhile, the city’s border with mainland China is largely closed and
an emigration wave has led to the biggest decline in the number of
households in Hong Kong in 25 years, according to the report.
This
supply-demand dynamic would not be threatening, in and of itself, for
residential property prices, but comes at the same time rates are rising
and household incomes remain stagnant, exaggerating the pressure on
prices, the report said.
Meanwhile,
the total number of property transactions, including residential,
commercial and industrial properties as well as parking spaces, fell 7.7
per cent month over month and 34.7 per cent year over year in
September, recording a six-month low of 4,835, according to data from
the Land Registry.
Transaction
value hit a 32-month-low of HK$34.8 billion (US$4.4 billion), down 62
per cent from August and 48 per cent from September 2021.
Property transactions are likely to hit a historic low of 65,000 this year,
according to a forecast by a property agency. That would be the lowest
level since 1996, according to government records. The previous record
low of 70,503 registrations was reported in 2013.
A
lack of macroeconomic and policy catalysts has kept investors on the
sidelines, with the next key event being Hong Kong Chief Executive John
Lee Ka-chiu’s policy address on October 19, the Goldman Sachs report
said.

Castle Peak Road – Tai Lam, Tuen Mun in northwestern Hong Kong for
HK$4.6 billion (US$586 million), the Lands Department said on Wednesday.
Henderson Land Development Company, Sino Land, Grand Ming Group Holdings and Sun Hung Kai Properties also bid for the parcel.
The
price translates to just HK$3,522 per square foot, “slightly lower than
the lower limit of market expectations”, according to a surveyor.
When
it was first launched in April, another surveyor valued the land at
HK$6,000 to HK$6,500 per square foot, or HK$7.8 billion to HK$8.5
billion. In July, the surveyor slashed the valuation to HK$5,000 to
HK$5,500 per square foot, or HK$6.5 billion to HK$7.2 billion.
“The
size of the land and the amount of investment are relatively large,”
the surveyor said. The land can yield 1.31 million sq ft of gross floor
area and at least 2,000 flats, Lam said.
The tender in April attracted only five bids, none of which met the government’s reserve price.
The now successful tender shows that the government is adapting to
market changes and adjusting the reserve price according to market
conditions, which can also ensure future housing supply, the surveyor
added.
“Coupled with the recent market conditions, developers are expected to be more cautious in their bids,” the surveyor said.
Last December, the Hong Kong government set a 280 sq ft minimum size for flats built on government land.
The
relaunch of the Tuen Mun site “in a short time” after the original
tender failed, “reflected the government’s determination to let the
people live in bigger homes”, think tank Our Hong Kong Foundation said
in July.
Chinese
President Xi Jinping instructed John Lee Ka-chiu, Hong Kong’s Chief
Executive, on the 25th anniversary of the city’s handover to China, that
his administration should “strive to deliver” what “the people of Hong
Kong desire – a better life, a bigger flat, more business start-up
opportunities, better education and better elderly care”.

海洋中心每月3.87萬承租
有代理表示,港威大廈地點好,大厦質素及條件佳,相對整個海港城,該廈質素最高,亦最受捧,疫市下租金硬淨,視乎不同座向、大小及不同質素單位,租金較2018年高位跌幅只有5%至10%;至於海洋中心,樓齡較高,租金相宜。該代理又說,上月九龍寫字樓租務保持平穩,買賣則錄得萎縮。

財團每呎1.5萬收購黃大仙舊樓 涉10幢物業 住宅總金額涉4.8億
市區土地資源有限,財團均面對一地難求的局面,近年不少發展商變陣,透過舊樓收購藉以申請強拍增加土儲;舊樓林立的黃大仙未來發展潛力亦看高一綫,近年該區舊樓更掀起併購潮,未來區內勢將「大變天」;本報獲悉,黃大仙銀鳳街33至59號一列舊樓群被財團吼中,並於月前接觸業主並出價收購,據了解每方呎收購價大約1.5萬至1.6萬不等,單計住宅部分涉及收購金額約4.8億至5.12億。
本港土地供應短缺,市區「靚地」更是賣少見少,近年有不少財團轉向舊樓埋手,密密併購發展,上述銀鳳街33至59號一列舊樓群,涉及約10幢樓高5至6層的商住舊樓,地下為商鋪,樓上為住宅樓層;最近獲財團出價收購,據了解,該財團以每方呎1.5萬至1.6萬不等向小業主提出收購價建議。上述銀鳳街舊樓群涉及最少約76個住宅單位,單位面積由263至535方呎,住宅部分總樓面大約3.19萬方呎,以每方呎1.5萬至1.6萬收購價計,單計住宅部分涉及金額至少約4.8億至5.12億,另有約15個地鋪。
涉最少約76個住宅
銀鳳街33至59號舊樓群,早於1970年至1973年之間落成,至今約49至52年樓齡;若將來透過合併地盤重建發展,地盤面積擴展至約1.14萬方呎,如以地積比9倍作重建發展,涉及可建總樓面約10.34萬方呎,是近年市區中罕見的大型地盤。
該批舊樓群位於竹園銀鳳街及環鳳街交界,屬大單邊位置,項目鄰近有不少購物及娛樂設施,如黃大仙中心、鳳德商場、竹園街市、雙鳳街街市,同時鄰近竹園體育館、鳳德公園等;交通方面,鄰近港鐵黃大仙站,步行前往約11分鐘步程,而且毗鄰亦有多條巴士及小巴路綫行走,交通及生活配套便利,極具重建價值。
可建總樓面10萬呎
參考鄰近私樓平均呎價,如區內指標屋苑現崇山目前平均呎價約1.74萬,該屋苑1座低層A室新近以1409萬售出,屬面積794方呎的3房單位,呎價約1.77萬;而鑽嶺一個低層D室的1房單位以448萬易手,以面積211方呎計,呎價約2.1萬。
另外滙豪山中層A室單位,新近以660萬易手,以面積439方呎計,呎價約15034元;而同區居屋翠竹花園9座中層E室,面積484方呎,兩房戶,新近以525萬 (自由市場價) 成交,呎價約10847元。
有業內人士指,近年市區新供應少,過往推出招標的市區用地均面對激烈競爭,入場門檻高,近年不少財團已轉向具重建價值的舊樓埋手,其中舊樓林立的黃大仙是一個熱門地區之一,據了解,現時已有不少財團插旗收購。
而且目前整體樓市氣氛未如理想,加上成交量相對淡靜,樓價亦有所回軟之際,業主往往需要減價沽貨,認為財團在舊樓收購時,不排除有部分小業主叫價態度會軟化。
(星島日報)
市區土地供應少區內掀收購熱
近年黃大仙區發展步伐加快,由舊區漸蛻變成新晉商住社區,不少私人財團密密向舊樓埋手併購,單計宏安地產已成功透過強拍途徑統一區內2個舊樓項目。
事實上,毗鄰的鳴鳳街及環鳳街一帶舊樓近年收購活動活躍,宏安地產已成功透過強拍途徑統一區內2個舊樓項目,包括今年2月以底價2.57億統一飛鳳街31至41號舊樓業權,連同該公司收購的飛鳳街45號合併發展;值得留意的是,上述飛鳳街31至45號舊樓已於今年3月獲屋宇署批出建築圖則,獲批建1幢樓高19層高的商住項目,住宅部分涉及可建總樓面約7.8萬方呎,另有1.5萬方呎非住宅樓面,料提供約250伙。
飛鳳街項目料提供250伙
該公司去年亦以底價8.05億統一鳴鳳街26至48號舊樓業權,上址由3個地段組成,包括26至32A號乾豐大廈、34及36號鳳凰樓,以及38至46號舊樓,總地盤面積約9630方呎,可建樓面面積約8.67萬方呎。
除本地發展商收購外,內地發展商武夷集團繼2017年底以1.12億購入鳴鳳街18至20號全幢舊樓後,今年2月再下一城成功併購毗鄰的22至24號全數業權,預料該兩個地段地盤合併後面積約3600方呎,現規劃為「住宅 (甲類) 1」用途,地積比率9倍計,涉及可建總面積約3.24萬方呎的商住物業。
除財團併購外,市建局行政總監韋志成今年5月初曾指,加強市區更新工作,市建局在九龍城、黃大仙等多個舊區開展地區規劃研究,制訂合適的市區更新計畫。

長實逾46億低價 奪屯門限呎地
樓面呎價3522返6年前 趙國雄:投資額逾130億
長實 (01113) 動作頻頻,上周沽出半山豪宅後,隨即以逾46億元購入屯門「限呎」住宅地,每平方呎樓面地價3,522元,低於市場估值下限,較兩年前同區地價低逾4成,重返6年前地價水平。長實預計總額超逾130億元,並表示對香港地產市道前景極具信心。
今次批出的屯門青山公路大欖段「限呎」住宅地,今年4月曾經招標,惟最終未及政府底價而流標,今次重推於上周截收5份標書。地政總署昨日公布,地皮最終由長實以46.01億元投得,每平方呎樓面地價約3,522元,較市場估值下限約48億元 (每平方呎樓面地價約3,700元),低出約5%,稍遜於市場預期。
指對港地產前景 極具信心
掃管笏對上一次批出的地皮,為佳兆業 (01638) 於2020年,以每平方呎6,005元投得屯門第48區地皮,今次地價相較低出4成。若果跟比鄰地皮的 OMA by the Sea,在2016年6月由永泰地產 (00369) 以每平方呎約3,343元投得相若,可見今次地價重回約6年前水平。
長實執行董事趙國雄稱,集團一直積極參與投地,全因對香港地產市道前景極具信心。他又提到,地皮面積大、建築上有一定難度,且涉及的單位數量多,估計連同地價及發展費用計算,投資總額料超過130億元。至於長實與新地 (00016) 合作的飛揚,項目於2018年底以逾17.31億元完成補地價,每平方呎補地價約4,990元。
估計落成後 呎價賣逾1.36萬
若果以總投資額130億元計算,計及「10%發水樓面」、8成實用率等因素,項目預計落成後實用呎價約1.36萬元便有合理利潤,參考EPRC經濟地產庫資料,地皮周邊近半年平均成交實用呎價約1.36萬至1.63萬元,而長實旗下飛揚近期平均呎價則約1.54萬元。
有測量師直言,鑑於地皮位處斜坡,而且規模大,加上中間設有油站,增加日後發展時的困難及成本,相信是次售價已經反映該等因素,形容成交價為「筍價」。該測量師又直言,是次長實中標與上周沽出半山西部項目的關連不大,相信長實「低價就買」。
地皮上周接獲5份標書,與今年4月首次招標相同,其餘4家入標財團,包括恒地 (00012)、新地、信置 (00083) 及佳明 (01271),全數以獨資形式競投。

長實換貨高賣低買 雙贏補土儲
長實 (01113) 在短短一周使出「連環技」一買一賣,將半山豪宅盤沽貨,換貨低價吸納屯門限呎地,將建新界上車盤;這邊廂在樓市高峰期鎖定利潤套現,那邊廂則補充了土地儲備,維持貨如輪轉的策略。
長實近年在地產市道再次變得活躍,大約每半年就有不少大手買賣。先在買地方面,由2020年起至今5度投得官地及市建局項目,合共涉資逾265億元,單是今年8個月內,已經斥逾百億元投得土瓜灣項目,及今次屯門掃管笏地皮。
近期策略 低吸上車大型地皮
至於沽貨方面,長實單是今年3月沽出倫敦商廈,以及上周以208億沽出半山西部豪宅21 BORRETT ROAD項目,共套現達332億元,不但成功鎖定了項目利潤,亦對其現金流有相當幫助,單是沽出的兩個大型項目,已經足夠抵銷過去幾年買地開支。
長實近期的策略,是沽出貴重的重磅項目套現,然後趁低吸納地價較低,並主攻上車的大型地皮,例如今次屯門大欖限呎地,以及觀塘安達臣道的「港人首置盤」地皮,兩地每平方呎樓面地價均約3,000多至4,000多元,地皮均主攻上車客源,可見長實重回過往「貨如輪轉」、薄利多銷的營運模式。
據一間代理行統計,上季第三季新盤成交量共錄3,560宗,9成屬於金額在1,000萬元以下上車盤,而逾千萬元以上成交僅364宗,按季減少7成,反映上車購買力主導市場。

羅守輝「減磅」放售12乙廈物業 總意向價逾5億 加佣至3%促銷
聯儲局半年五度加息,本港亦自2018年以來再次跟隨調高利率,樓市氣氛轉差,投資物業市場交投再減,投資者遂積極放售物業。綜合市場消息及資訊,資深投資者、裕泰興家族成員羅守輝及有關人士大規模放售旗下乙級商廈物業,涉最少12項,俱為全層單位,意向價總值逾5億元,並加佣至3%促銷。
俱為全層單位 11項處灣仔
據了解,羅守輝及有關人士正放售12項乙級商廈物業,當中11項來自灣仔區,餘下1項則在油麻地,大部分都在2010至2017年期間購入,現時每項物業叫價由2180萬至6500萬元,涉及總值逾5.07億元。代理透露,為加快物業出售速度,賣家近期加佣至3%,較正常1%多出兩倍。
當中,叫價最高的物業為灣仔告士打道221至226號海聯大廈7樓全層,建築面積4721方呎,叫價為6500萬元,呎價約13768元。該層現分間為4個單位,享全海景,當中兩個租出,月租共19.3萬元。該層於2017年以4818萬元購入,目前放售價較買入價高1682萬元或34.9%。
同一時間,亦有放售同一地段告士打道166至168號信和財務大廈1樓及2樓兩層,每層建築面積3050方呎,現每層以3812.5萬元放售,呎價約12500元,合共價值7625萬元。至於灣仔軒尼詩道258號德士古大廈2樓全層,建築面積約4200方呎,半年前已經以5796萬元放盤,上月降價至4536萬元,呎價約10800元,減幅逾兩成,雖然如此,仍較2014年的買入價2748.9萬元,高出65%。
油麻地商廈入市半年即覓買家
羅守輝及有關人士除放賣已購入一段時間的物業外,亦有商廈單位「即買即放」,例如今年3月才以1420萬元向資深投資者「舖王」鄧成波家族購入油麻地彌敦道570至572號基利商業大廈4樓全層,建築面積約2154方呎,連一個約1054方呎平台,目前正以2180萬元放盤,呎價約10121元,較半年前購入價高760萬元或53.5%。
是次在市場上推售的12項乙級商廈物業,有10個在2006年至2017年期間購入,入市成本較低,故12項物業總購入價逾3億元,若以放售價總值逾5.07億元沽出,料仍可獲不俗利潤。
事實上,羅守輝及有關人士今年初仍有購入物業投資,包括商廈及地舖等,但3月起開始積極沽售物業,至今半年間已最少賣出12項物業,包括全幢商廈、地舖、乙級商廈全層及工廈全層,合共已套現最少約6.5億元;其中最大宗為9月以2.75億元售出中環皇后大道中118至120號一幢商廈。

Only big guns stay in fray for To Kwa Wan project
The big four local developers
including CK Asset (1113), Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), Henderson
Land Development (0012) and Wheelock Properties were among seven bidders
for the Urban Renewal Authority's Wing Kwong Street / Sung On Street
development project in To Kwa Wan.
The project had attracted 31 expressions of interest in August and the URA had invited all 31 developers/consortia to bid.
The
other bidders included Sino Land (0083), China Overseas Land &
Investment (0688) and Emperor International Holdings (0163).
The
project, which covers a site area of 2,876 square meters, is planned to
provide a maximum total gross floor area of 25,884 sq m upon
completion.
A surveyor expects the project to be valued at about HK$3.34 billion as it has a harbor view and also near the Tuen Ma Line.
The
residential part of the project is expected to provide about 230,000
square feet with 560 small and medium flats. The commercial and retail
parts will be about 46,000 sq ft.
The winning bidder will pay a dividend to the URA when the sale proceeds exceed HK$6 billion.
The project includes a shopping mall in which the developer will have a 70 percent stake, with the URA holding 30 percent.
There
are restrictions on the size of the flats for the project. The area of
the flats should not be less than 300 sq ft and half of the flats should
be less than 480 sq ft.
Last
month, Henderson Land won the bid for an old building in To Kwa Wan via
a compulsory sale with a reserve price of HK$1.21 billion, a move
further expanding its development in the area.
Meanwhile,
the owner of a flat at the Grand Marini in Lohas Park took a HK$380,000
hit after selling the unit for HK$10.3 million, down from the HK$10.68
million paid for the property in 2019.
In
other news, office rents fell by 2.3 percent quarter-on-quarter but the
decline is expected to narrow in the fourth quarter with an annual
decrease ranging from 3 to 5 percent, according to a property agency.
Meanwhile,
the street store vacancy rate in Causeway Bay was 5.3 percent and
Central was 8.5 percent. They have fallen to their lowest levels since
the pandemic, despite some being short-term leases, while vacancy rates
in Tsim Sha Tsui and Mongkok in Kowloon rose slightly to 16.7 percent
and 12.5 percent, respectively.

金鐘力寶中心每呎33元租出
受疫情等因素衝擊,核心區甲廈租金急下滑,金鐘力寶中心最新錄1宗承租,一個中層單位,於交吉半年後,以每呎33元租出。
上址為力寶中心一座高層03室,建築面積約1299方呎,以每呎33元租出,該鋪位開則一般,景觀望政府總部,舊租客於今年3月遷出,交吉半年始租出。
單位交吉約半年
早前,力寶中心一座中層6室,建築面積約2100方呎,以每呎約45元租出,月租約9.45萬,租戶於今年2月租約屆滿遷出,舊租每呎53元,業主亦將單位重新放租,故最新租金較舊租金下跌約37%,屬貼市水平。
事實上,該甲廈於疫市下租金備受壓力,資料顯示,該廈2座高層相連單位,再早前以每呎約49元租出,較舊租金急挫逾3成;據業內人士指出,力寶中心於疫市租金跌幅「最傷」,主要因為該甲廈早已賣散業權,各小業主於租務市場上可謂「各自為政」,為免單位丟空,業主願減租吸客。
至於買賣方面,該甲廈早前成交為2座高層2室,屬多按物業,建築面積1341方呎,以3710萬售出。地產代理指出,2016年起業主曾3次向多家財務公司承造按揭,成交價屬市價水平,買家為中資企業。

外資代理行:受新商廈預租帶動 上季寫字樓淨吸納量18.3萬呎
整體寫字樓租務淡靜,租金持續下調,根據一間外資代理行數據,整體甲廈租金按季回落2.3%,年初至今累跌4%,並以尖沙嘴區和中區超甲廈的跌幅較明顯,分別按季跌3.1%和2.4%,各區平均租金從2019年4月份高位至今累跌29%。第三季整體淨吸納量,主要受新落成甲廈預租面積所帶動,錄18.3萬方呎。
該行代理表示,隨着防疫及隔離措施放寬,相信第四季度租金下跌幅度有望收窄,將橫行一段時間,預測全年租金跌幅介乎3%至5%。
整體甲廈租金按季跌2.3%
吸納量方面,第三季整體淨吸納量,主要受新落成甲廈預租面積所帶動,錄18.3萬方呎,加上季內約有200萬方呎新寫字樓樓面落成,促使整體待租率由第二季的13.8%升至16.1%,整體待租面積逾1000萬方呎。
鋪位空置下跌,銅鑼灣和中環空置率下降至5.3%及8.5%,為疫情以來低位,但部分租約屬短租,九龍區尖沙嘴和旺角空置率則分別微升至16.7%及12.5%。
料明年鋪租重拾動力
該行另一代理表示,踏入傳統節日旺季,短期租約將更受歡迎,料商鋪空置率在年底前進一步改善。租金方面,除非政府再推出更多利好零售市場的政策,否則預期街鋪租金到明年上半年後才能重拾動力。
民生區商鋪如元朗、屯門相對平穩,惟核心區街鋪持續受壓,銅鑼灣和尖沙嘴鋪租按季分別跌1.9%及1.2%,年初至今分別累跌7.6%和5.1%。

上月錄311宗工商鋪註冊
有代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示,上月工商鋪註冊量錄311宗,按月下跌15.3%,註冊金額錄36.22億,按月減少約24.4%。該行預料,註冊數字於進一步通關前將維持較低水平。
代理行:按月跌15.3%
9月份工商鋪註冊宗數全綫下跌。工廈及商鋪分別按月降約11.3%及10.1%,各錄173及80宗。商廈註冊量按月跌約30.1%,錄58宗。9月份整體註冊宗數最新錄311宗,數字再度跌至今年低位,按月挫約15.3%。9月份整體註冊金額錄36.22億,按月跌約24.4%。
造價逾億註冊僅錄4宗
除5000萬以上至1億物業,其他金額全錄下跌。註冊量最多的為500萬以下物業,共錄164宗,按月跌13.2%。逾500萬以上至1000萬共錄66宗,按月下降約18.5%。逾1000萬以上至2000萬共錄39宗,按月下降約22%。逾2000萬至5000萬錄5.8%按月跌幅,共錄32宗。逾5000萬至1億微升,共錄6宗,按月升20%。9月逾1億物業按月急挫50%,註冊宗數僅錄4宗,按月減少4宗,包括灣仔告士打道200號新銀集團中心12樓全層及尖沙嘴半島中心作價分別1.55億、1.05億。

崇安街發展項目於8月初共收31份意向書,上月初邀請31家財團入標競投,昨日結束約兩個月的招標程序,市建局昨公布,合共接獲7份標書,數目與該局於同區的鴻福街及啟明街四個重建項目合併發展相同。綜合記者現場所見及市場消息指,吸引多家「本地薑」競投,包括長實、新地、恒基、會德豐地產、英皇及鷹君,而信和夥拍招商局置地合組財團,遞交有關項目標書。
市建局指,該局董事會設立的招標遴選小組將評審各標書,並會就批出項目發展協議向董事會提交建議,由董事會作最終決定。
會德豐何偉錦:出價考慮加息
會德豐地產高級經理 (物業發展) 何偉錦表示,該項目鄰近鐵路站,而且日後落成後部分單位可享海景,初步計畫主打細單位,並透露集團以獨資方式入標,出價已考慮近期市況及加息因素。
英皇蔡宏基:發展規模適中
英皇國際物業經理蔡宏基指出,集團以獨資方式競投,出價已考慮加息及其他因素;認為項目規模適中,而且地皮可享較優質海景,而且土瓜灣「小區」發展成熟,加上本港住屋剛性需求強烈,料發展中小型單位為主。
有測量師指,項目規模適中,將來部分單位可享遠海景,認為價錢有保證;不過由於該項目位於整個「小區」的邊陲,且商業部分有一定限制,如共同持有年期及分成等。
另一測量師表示,項目地盤面積細,涉及投資額不多,項目東南至東北面靠近學校,建築物較矮,料日後單位可享土瓜灣避風塘海景。綜合市場估值約30.6億至36.2億,每方呎估值約1.1萬至1.3萬。
該項目鄰近港鐵土瓜灣站,步行前往約5至6分鐘;地盤面積約3.1萬方呎,可建總樓面約27.86萬方呎,發展規模是目前已推出項目中最細,估計可以提供約560伙。市場消息指出,項目售樓收益達60億後,中標財團便須與市建局分紅,達標後首1億須分紅兩成,其後分紅比例以每1億為一組遞增;當收入達63億以上,分紅劃一為50%。而且發展商亦須向市建局自行提出「一口價」建議,將成為勝負的關鍵。
商場部分,屬市建局及中標財團共同持有,租金收益由中標財團和市建局以「七三」比例瓜分,租金收入中標財團佔七成,其餘三成收益則歸市建局;另外,該項目設有限呎條款,面積不得少於300方呎,同時規定至少一半面積不可超過480方呎。

憧憬通關 啟德甲廈兩年首錄租務
跨企進駐 AIRSIDE 約3.75萬呎 呎租30較意向跌4成
憧憬通關,企業趁租金回落租全新甲廈。南豐旗下啟德地標甲廈 AIRSIDE 招租兩年後首錄預租,全層約3.75萬平方呎獲跨國採購公司租用,呎租料約30元,遠較招租期間跌約4成。業界人士認為,若續放寬入境措施,可進一步刺激商廈租務。
市場消息指,即將落成的啟德 AIRSIDE,錄得首宗寫字樓租務成交,涉及物業22樓全層,面積約3.75萬平方呎。據悉,新租客為一家跨國採購公司,主要業務為生產及採購家庭電器、廚具等。據了解,該租客原租用大角咀嘉運大廈約2萬多呎辦公室,由於業主將重建物業,故需尋找新寫字樓,現搬至全新甲廈,兼作出樓面擴充。
南豐246億奪地 打造啟德新地標
消息稱,是次成交呎租約30元,翻查資料,南豐於2020年尾時開始為 AIRSIDE 進行招租,當時環球出現疫情近1年,因應市況業主方面表示項目商廈部分意向呎租約40元,已較原先的呎租50元向下調。
可是疫情下持續封關,商務活動暫緩,衝擊商廈租務,而該廈於本年初,曾一度傳出有中資銀行旗下證券公司洽租,惟最終未有成事,直至近日才獲租客首進駐。招租長達兩年,按成交呎租計,較預先下調約4成。相信是次因首宗成交,業主提供少許優惠,料通關後租務增加,呎租有力回升。
南豐於2017年以246億元,投得啟德商業地皮,打破當時賣地紀錄。項目樓高47層,當中30層為寫字樓,涉及120萬平方呎,而商廈每層面積約3.2萬至5.3萬平方呎,其中10至18樓為相連樓層,每層達5.3萬平方呎,可謂全港極為罕有。另物業基座多層為商場,涉及約70萬平方呎,預租情況不錯,相比之下,寫字樓部分則租務較慢。據了解,整個項目總投資金額高達340億元,寫字樓近日正式入伙,成啟德新地標。
巧明街98號 Agnes B預租
東九龍為甲廈新供應重鎮,而區內大型項目漸獲商戶留意,市場消息指,新地 (00016) 旗下巧明街98號新甲廈項目錄預租,涉及物業2座,約1萬平方呎樓面,成交呎租約30元。據了解,新租客為時裝品牌Agnes B,該品牌原租用太古城中心商廈,如今搬遷可提升物業質素,兼可節省少許租金。
新地旗下觀塘巧明街98號九巴車廠重建項目今年尾落成,提供約115萬平方呎樓面,其中約50萬平方呎商場。據了解,暫時該廈已獲大手預租,包括積金局租用8萬平方呎樓面,作整合業務及擴充。
政府放寬入境措施至「0+3」,料可推動商務活動,有代理指出,近日商廈租務查詢稍增,普遍跨國機構仍待「0+0」正式落實,企業可重新部署地區業務,以及海外機構來港設立辦事處,新需求有望出現,可帶動商廈租務活動轉活躍。
該代理預計,若與內地成功通關,對九龍區租務將有更大刺激作用,因尖沙咀、紅磡及九龍站甲廈租戶,不少為從事中港業務公司,或中資大型機構,可進一步刺激租務活動。

商廈供應增 租金短期難「復常」
持續放寬防疫措施,無疑可帶動商務活動。不過,商廈市道面對最大問題,是供應過剩及空置率高,在新需求下,租金也難明顯反彈,而新甲廈質素上較佳,會有一定優勢。
今明兩年供應高峰 共逾千萬呎
疫情至今近3年,因入境措施嚴謹,令商廈租務市場極為淡靜。疫情前每年商廈平均吸納量約170萬至200萬平方呎,但因疫情出現,跨國商務活動大幅降低,本港商廈租務活動,疫情期間絕大部分為搬遷個案,機構在搬遷過程大部分亦沒有擴充,導致出現負吸納情況。因此,若「0+0」實施,海外大型機構,可重新派員來港視察及洽商,租務活動必會加快,需求預計上升。
需求可望陸續復常,可是商廈供應過剩是一大問題。今明兩年為甲廈供應高峰期,合共逾千萬平方呎樓面落成,分布中環、東九龍、港東島及長沙灣等地,每區均有大型項目。
同時,現時甲廈空置率約10%,市場上已有千萬平方呎空置樓面,連同大批新供應,即使市道復常,也難在三兩年間消化,可以預期甲廈租務活動改善,但業主在租金叫價上,因競爭大而略為降低,故租金難以反彈。兩年多的疫情,甲廈租金已有3成調整,若有新需求帶動,進一步下挫機會不高,料較平穩發展。
由於空置樓面多,租客選擇亦多,故除了租金差別外,物業質素成為租客選擇重要條件之一。新落成的甲廈,始終單位樓底高,設備最新,業主亦不敢叫價進取,故在租務市場上搶客時,較舊式商廈優勝。

Home buyers put plans on hold
Home transactions in major housing
estates in Hong Kong fell as buyers adopted a wait-and-see attitude
before the Chief Executive's policy address on October 19 despite
sellers making deeper price cuts.
A
property agency recorded six transactions over the weekend in the 10
major housing estates it tracks. That was four less than the previous
weekend to hit a 10-week low.
An
agent said that despite the price cuts in the secondary market and no
new projects for home buyers, the prospective purchasers were waiting to
see if there could be news that could work to their advantage emerging
from the Chinese Communist Party's congress in Beijing or from the
policy address.
"There
might be no relaxation measures for the property market in the policy
address, but there will be an opportunity to relax the restrictions on
mainland people and foreigners coming to Hong Kong to buy properties,"
the agent said.
"Both buyers and sellers are waiting for more clarity on the market conditions before making any moves."
However,
as reflected in a more active viewing volume, prospective buyers do
appear optimistic about prospects than in the third quarter, especially
after a lowering of the interest rate stress testing requirement.
The agent believes that an announcement on housing policy in the policy address will indeed trigger property purchases.

Invesco relocates to Hongkong Land’s Jardine House, seizing on rising office vacancies, falling rents in Central
US money manager has leased 33,000 sq ft in the iconic Jardine House from November 1
The
relocation trend in the Hong Kong office property market is likely to
continue well into 2023 amid falling rents, according to a property
agency
With
prime office vacancy rates at record highs and rents continuing to
slide in Hong Kong’s main business district of Central, tenants are
making the most of the situation and moving to prestigious addresses.
US money manager Invesco is relocating its regional headquarters to Hongkong Land’s Jardine House.
The
firm has signed a lease for 33,000 sq ft in the iconic building, known
for its distinctive round windows, overlooking the Victoria Harbour from
November 1.
“We believe that Invesco is moving back into Central
as part of a wider trend we are seeing in the market of a flight to
quality,” said Neil Anderson, director and head of office, commercial
property, at Hongkong Land.
The companies did not provide any details about the lease.
“With
Hong Kong as the heart of our regional operations, it’s rare to have
this unique opportunity to move into one of the most iconic buildings in
Central,” said Terry Pan, CEO for Greater China, Southeast Asia and
Korea at Invesco.
The
relocation trend in the Hong Kong office property market is likely to
continue well into 2023, according to a property agency.
“Moving
within the same district is always part of the trend of flight of
quality moves,” agent said. “With rents now more attractive across the
submarkets and landlords becoming more flexible, some of the tenants
definitely will take this chance to look for premises in the more prime
and central location and premises with better management or facilities.”
With
some 2 million sq ft of new office space available in Hong Kong as of
the end of the third quarter, the vacancy rate has risen to 16 per cent,
up from 13.8 per cent in the second quarter, the agent said. Overall
office rents declined by 2.3 per cent in the same period.
The move to Jardine House marks Invesco’s return to Hongkong Land’s Central portfolio. From 1998 to 2005, Invesco occupied two floors in Three Exchange Square, which is owned by Hongkong Land. It then moved to Champion Tower, also in Central, occupying space comparable to its new lease in Jardine House.
Rents in Champion Tower and Jardine House
are comparable, averaging around HK$88.20 (US$11.2) per square foot at
the former and HK$90 per square foot at the latter, according to
analysts.
As
of the first half of the year, banks, asset managers and other
financial services companies accounted for more than 40 per cent of
Hongkong Land’s office tenant profile in Central, according to the
landlord.
The
current downturn in Hong Kong’s office property market has been
described by another property agency as its “longest and deepest”.
The property consultancy said that an additional 8.2 million sq ft of office space expected in the next two years coupled with record-high vacancies, will drag rents down by as much as 5 per cent this year and by another 5 to 10 per cent next year.
“There
are multiple reasons companies relocate, even within the same
district,” another agent said. “This could be to accommodate
fluctuations in size, changes in workplace or management direction that
may require a different approach to real estate.”
The agent gave the example of Christie’s move to The Henderson in 2024, which will allow the auction house to accommodate a change in their strategy.
“Sustainability
scorecards are increasingly being used by businesses as they shortlist
and sign up to new leases,” the agent added.

力寶中心每呎租33元 平近年新低
近日,金鐘力寶中心一個單位,以每呎33元,平該廈近年新低價,自從疫情以來,力寶中心早於去年2月及5月皆錄得呎租33元,當衡量單位不同質素時,33元可以是廉價,但亦可能是市價。
力寶中心於2010年6月曾錄呎租32元,呎租33元,則屬過去約11年新低紀錄。
「三角」則實用率62%
最新租出的1座高層03室,建築面積約1299方呎,該單位屬「三角」則,實用率只有62%,單位內有頂心柱,景觀為政府總部,不過,擁有玻璃房間,裝修很不錯,舊租客於今年3月遷出,交吉半年始租出。
去年5月以每呎33元租出的是優質單位,1座32樓D室,建築面積約2343方呎,位處高層,面向正車立位,且外望開揚山景,舊租客為律師行以每呎55元租用,遷出後,於2019年6月起放租,初時每呎叫租65元,最後丟空近兩年後,以每呎33元租出,月租約7.73萬。該單位由內地客持有,於2017年3月以2.05348億購入32樓C室及D室,建築面積7898方呎,以平均呎價2.6萬計算,回報只有約1.5厘。
2021年2月,力寶中心一座26樓3B室,建築面積2230方呎,以每月約7.4萬元租出,呎租約33元。

上月工商鋪買賣約246宗 代理行:連續3個月下跌
受加息陰霾影響,工商鋪市場淡靜。據本港一間代理行統計,9月份共錄約246宗買賣,金額約126.26億。宗數連續三個月下跌,按月跌逾20%,為2020年4月後新低,金額則見上升,主因月內錄全幢甲廈成交。
宗數按月減約28%
該行代理表示,根據資料,9月份共錄約246宗工商鋪買賣,按月減約28%,連續三個月跌勢,是今年度首次跌破300宗水平,亦是2020年4月後新低。金額共約126.26億,較8月份躍升約1.15倍,最矚目的為九龍灣啟祥道17號高銀金融國際中心易手,作價約70億,成為今年以來暫錄最大額成交。酒店成為另一項投資焦點。有共居品牌斥資約32億連環購入觀塘旺角兩幢酒店,分別為觀塘悅品海景酒店及旺角旭逸酒店。
高銀金融國際中心全幢最矚目
該代理指,工廈市場同樣呈量跌價升。9月份工廈成交宗數約158宗,按月回落約20%;金額約30.70億元,較8月份升約25%。9月份僅錄得約62宗,金額約20.44億;對比上月表現未見理想,分別急跌約47%及25%,單月宗數更為2020年7月後新低。
該代理認為,整體工商鋪市場受疫情及加息等利淡因素影響,表現回落,但長遠而言,本港疫情受控,加上入境檢疫安排放寬,為全面通關締造有利條件,加上《施政報告》及中共二十大即將舉行,提振經濟預計成為重點,相信屆時工商鋪投資氣氛被帶動,當中核心區商鋪可望率先反彈。

參考大廈以往紀錄,2018年曾錄1宗低層單位成交,呎價高達2萬,現時其他單位業主大多叫價每呎2萬或以上,是次放售單位屬「低水」。
料回報約2.79厘
該代理表示,該單位間隔四正,配備寫字樓裝修,享城市景觀,連約出售,料買家享回報約2.79厘,大廈採用玻璃幕牆設計,設3部載客電梯。
大廈距離港鐵中環站,需時5分鐘步程,附近有多條巴士綫,大廈鄰近中環至半山扶手電梯,為該區飲食零售核心。

華瑞看好中港市場前景 購半山波老道豪宅擬分拆出售
長實集團上月底公布,以總代價逾207億,悉售港島半山波老道超級豪宅項目未售單位及全部車位,買家為新加坡基金LC
Vision
Capital。長實執行董事趙國雄表示,集團一直維持貨如輪轉的策略,因此價格合適便決定出售。負責成立及管理上述基金的華瑞資本,其合夥人阮思玲則表示,這是該基金首次投資物業市場,亦是華瑞重返香港後第一項投資,又說會繼續與長實及投資者研究,令該項投資價值最大化,包括以適當的價格出售相關的住宅單位和停車場車位。
LCVisionCapital購入
趙國雄表示,長實是發展商,所以一直維持貨如輪轉的策略,旗下物業只要價格合適便會出售,又透露早前亦曾有其他買家洽購,只是出價未達要求,所以未有達成協議。他又說,是次出售所得資金,將會用作其他投資,例如最近集團亦有競投政府招標的土地,因此不會考慮派發特別股息。
保留資金作其他投資
對於有指今次長實是「賣平咗」,趙國雄指買家是整批購入該項目,因此給予折扣很正常,又稱有關交易去年底開始洽談,歷時大約9個月,期間本港豪宅價格沒有太大變動。
他又說,由於買方要計算內部回報率,若一次過動用龐大資金進行投資,會影響其回報,因此長實為買家提供融資安排。他又說,由於交易是以股份轉讓形式進行,因此買方可以隨時分拆出售,長實將會替買方負責銷售事宜,價格則由對方決定。
管理資產達60億美元
阮思玲表示,購入該項目後會保留作收租用途,抑或分拆出售,暫時還未有最終計畫,但會繼續與長實及投資者進行研究,令該項投資價值最大化,並會以適當的價格出售相關的住宅單位和停車場車位。
她又說,華瑞於2017年成立,與對沖基金不同,公司屬多家族辦公室,管理資產規模達60億美元,今次購入波老道項目,是華瑞重返香港後第一項投資,選擇香港是因為看好中港市場前景,又形容這是對香港、大灣區及中國內地有信心的表現。
阮思玲指出,未來數年中國經濟表現將會一枝獨秀;大灣區去年本地生產總值,已經相當於加拿大,並且高過韓國。香港方面,根據新加坡的經驗,當全面恢復通關之後,相信反彈會很快。
她又稱,內地提出發展數據中心的策略,其中一個重點是將大灣區打造成數據中心樞紐,當企業陸續進駐之後,需要聘請高管及專業人才,他們對高端豪宅的居住需求,會為這類物業帶來支持。
問及在港還有沒有其他投資,阮思玲說暫時沒有,但會對所有投資項目持開放態度,又指作為多家族辦公室,目標是替高資產淨值家族及企業家,制訂合適的投資方案,因此不會集中某一項資產類別,又透露華瑞目前已經與超過十五家投資銀行連接。
對所有投資持開放態度
對於最近相繼有新加坡資金購入本港貴重物業,是否意味本港物業市場已經出現拐點,她說買入波老道項目,其中一個考慮因素為是否有合理回報,不代表其他新加坡資金對香港的看法。
阮思玲又期望香港政府提供更多政策支持,例如架構配合及稅務優惠,藉此吸弔更多家族辦公室來港。
長實於上月底公布,以公司股份轉售方式,出售波老道21號項目未售出的152個住宅單位,以及242個住宅停車位、31個電單車位予新加坡基金LC Vision Capital,總代價逾207.66億,住宅部分呎價6.2萬,估計獲得收益63億。

靈活辦公室需求升 疫下加速發展
TEC朱雙珠:寬入境帶動商業活動 氣氛轉好
放寬入境檢疫措施可推動租務,商務中心品牌TEC認為,香港作為金融中心,應該持續放寬措施以帶動商業活動。集團亦指,疫情加快靈活辦公模式,未來尚有很大發展空間,故續物色據點擴充。
疫情持續兩年多,商務活動受嚴重影響,直至近日政府放寬入境措施至「0+3」,TEC港澳台董事總經理朱雙珠 (Nadia Zhu) 認為,新措施是正面消息,惟認為仍然不足夠,「作為一個國際金融中心,香港怎能持續封關?現喜見0+3的出現,當然完全放寬最好。」
她預計,放寬至完全通關,不能肯定一下子商務活動大幅增加,至少氣氛明顯轉好。日後舉辦金融峰會,可帶動商務活動。
第3季共享新租務 佔整體1成
整體商廈租務市場受疫情影響,近一年整體頗為淡靜,而在疫情期間,卻造就靈活辦公室興起,相關品牌紛擴充。據一間外資代理行數字顯示,在2021至2022年,分別有21.9萬及16.4萬平方呎商廈租務成交,涉及共享空間、靈活辦公室,單計今年第三季,已佔整體商廈新租務約1成。
她指出,跨國公司對靈活辦公空間的需求持續上升,而靈活辦公空間將永久成為辦公空間策略的一部分,疫情更是加速靈活辦公 (FLEX) 發展。整體甲廈空置率高,她指靈活辦公室與傳統甲廈有點不同,「當市場出現變化,機構有需要縮減業務,更會對商務中心、靈活辦公樓面感興趣。」
TEC疫市下擴充,集團位於中環士丹利街28號新據點近日開幕,成為集團在港第13個據點。涉及該廈全幢19層,總樓面約5.5萬平方呎,提供500個辦公位。中心設有專屬的休憩樓層,設有餐飲,以及共享辦公樓層,現時出租率已達85%,以開業個多月來說相當不錯。
據了解,該物業為中環老牌業主早年進行重建,今年落成,而TEC與業主是次屬合作模式發展,並非傳統業主與租客關係,朱雙珠指此模式有利雙方日後續尋找機會。
分店選址上,多間共享空間品牌積極擴充,分店遍布港九,而TEC暫時主力發展核心區,在13個據點上,幾乎全數位於中區,另3據點設於港島東太古坊,總樓面合共約30萬平方呎,她指隨着TEC的近期擴張,品牌已經佔據中環和金鐘的甲級靈活辦公市場總面積的65%,優勢有助鞏固業務。對於未來擴充計劃,她謂只要地點合適,不一定要在核心區,會續尋找機會。

卓悅棄守旺角 單邊舖結業 傳時裝店40萬承租 較舊約平27%
受新冠肺炎疫情影響,旅客數量大跌,尤其主要來港購物的內地自由客銳減,令一眾主攻內地客的零售商難以度過零售寒冬。本地化妝品零售商卓悅 (00653) 近年屢傳欠租,原來已低調將旺角所有分店結業,包括最後一個據點西洋菜南街及山東街交界約2700方呎大型舖位,亦在近期關店,據知舖位隨即以每月約40萬元租出。
高峰期打通毗鄰 每月逾250萬
卓悅在旺角最後一家分店位於旺角西洋菜南街7至19號好望角大廈地下19號舖,建築面積約2700方呎,屬西洋菜南街及山東街交界大單邊舖,在近期終告結業,舖位並已圍板並拆卸裝修。據代理透露,舖位已獲一家時裝店承租,月租料約40萬元,呎租約148元。
據了解,卓悅早於1999年起已在好望角大廈地下開設分店,當時只租用地下19號舖的其中部分舖位,建築面積只有約1000方呎。其後因自由行熱潮帶動生意額,不斷作擴充,直至2012年時打通好望角大廈地下17至19號舖租用成為旗艦店,建築面積達5200方呎,高峰期月租逾250萬元。
直至2017年,由於零售業境況大不如前,舖位月租已減至128萬元,較高位下跌近半。惟受社會運動及疫情接連重挫,好望角大廈地舖業主曾在2020年中入稟高院向卓悅追討欠租。直到同年底,卓悅一度擬放棄該旗艦店,最後決定減租建築面積約2500方呎的17號舖,而保留大單邊的19號舖,月租支出大削57%至約55萬元。至於17號舖,最終更由主要競爭對手莎莎
(00178) 租用。
不過,由於香港長時間未開放通關,旅遊區生意難復全盛時期水平,卓悅亦只好決定棄守旺角,關閉區內租用時間最長的最後一家分店。而最新時裝店租金,較卓悅舊租低27.3%。
西洋菜南街曾有4分店
據資料顯示,卓悅在疫情爆發前的2019年,在旺角區內共有7間分店,當中有4間位於西洋菜南街。不過,在疫情及飽受欠租問題困擾下,卓悅已經大幅收縮規模,直至今年初,旺角僅餘好望角大廈地下,以及旺角中心地下兩間分店。隨着旺角中心地下分店在6月份已結業,加上最新好望角大廈地下都關門大吉,該品牌正式撤出旺角。而卓悅的官方網頁顯示,該品牌全港只餘下6間分店,旅遊區只有尖沙咀、銅鑼灣和中環各有一間店舖。
至於在今年6月結業的彌敦道688號旺角中心地下GSA至GSS舖分店,丟空至今4個月仍為吉舖。該舖位由7個舖位打通而成,總建築面積4222方呎,卓悅在2008年起租用,租金由最初30.5萬元,直至結業前約58萬元,呎租137元。目前業主以50萬元放租,較卓悅舊租低8萬元或13.8%;另業主考慮將舖位間細出租。
卓悅近年新舊股東糾紛不斷,其創辦人葉俊亨與妻子鍾佩雲在2020年初將40.4%卓悅股份,售予現任主席兼大股東陳健文,二人不再是集團的主要股東。2021年鍾佩雲曾入稟高等法院,向卓悅子公司卓悅化粧品批發中心追討欠款,而葉俊亨亦向卓悅主席陳健文提出追討欠款,但葉俊亨及鍾佩雲被指與集團利益出現重大衝突,在2021年6月29日的股東特別大會上被罷免職務。

Hong Kong’s reopening to revive office market from its longest and deepest slump, but upswing in rents will have to wait
The
reopening of Hong Kong’s borders and a stabilising pandemic will act as
a catalyst for moribund office market, says Swire Properties’ Don
Taylor
Additional
office space of 8.2 million sq ft expected in the next two years and
record high vacancy rates are likely to push rents lower this year and
next, says property consultancy
Demand
for office space in Hong Kong will receive a boost from the city
opening up to the rest of the world, but the segment still faces
significant headwinds in the short to medium-term, according to one of
the city’s largest landlords.
“With
the gradual reopening of the international borders and the pandemic
starting to stabilise, we anticipate that this could prove to be a
catalyst for demand,” said Don Taylor, director of office at Swire Properties,
noting that this would allow in-person inspections of real estate and
also removes some of the uncertainty for international companies with
regional offices here.
There
is no doubt that, in the short to medium-term, the Hong Kong office
market is up against some uncertainty, he added. “Given the current
state of the Hong Kong economy, slowing growth in the Chinese mainland,
the imbalance between demand and supply in the local office market, as
well as the real threat of a global recession, rents are likely to
remain under pressure into next year.”
But,
given Hong Kong’s growing importance to the future of the Greater Bay
Area and as a global financial centre, there will be continued demand
for high quality grade A office space, he said.
The
city’s economy shrank 1.4 per cent in the second quarter of this year,
following a 3.9 per cent contraction in the first three-month period,
confirming fears that stringent social-distancing curbs had affected
economic activity far more adversely than initially estimated. In
August, the government further cut its annual forecast for the city’s
economy to between 0.5 per cent growth and 0.5 per cent contraction. It
previously estimated growth of 1 to 2 per cent.
Meanwhile,
China’s economy has also seen a considerable slowdown, as Beijing
clings to a zero-Covid policy that has hobbled business operations
across the country. The world’s second-largest economy grew at a slower-than-expected 0.4 per cent in the second quarter, reflecting the toll of wide-ranging lockdowns
in the capital Beijing and financial hub Shanghai. The lockdowns
hammered economic output and are also likely to put the nation’s 5.5 per
cent growth target for this year out of reach.
The
additional office space of 8.2 million sq ft expected in the next two
years, according to a property consultancy, on top of the already record-high vacancies
this year, estimated at 9.6 million sq ft as of March, is tipped to
drag rents down by as much as 5 per cent this year and by another 5 to
10 per cent next year.
The current downturn in Hong Kong’s office property market has been described by the agency as its “longest and deepest”.
Demand
from mainland Chinese firms accounted for as much as a fifth of leasing
transactions in Hong Kong before a property market downturn in 2019.
But with China’s borders staying closed, demand from mainland companies
is likely to remain soft, agent said.
“In
the three years between 2016 and 2018, for instance, mainland Chinese
firms leased an average of 750,000 sq ft of grade A office space per
annum,” the agent said.
Between
March 2019 and March 2022, the real estate footprint of mainland
Chinese companies grew by only 35,000 sq ft, according to the
consultancy. On the other hand, demand from western firms shrank by between 1.3 million sq ft and 1.4 million sq ft.
Swire Properties is set to launch Two Taikoo Place
in Quarry Bay. The 42-storey office tower with a gross floor area of 1
million sq ft is slated for occupancy before the end of the year.
Majority of its portfolio tenants, however, are western firms.
“In our Pacific Place
portfolio, just under a quarter of our tenant base is from the Chinese
mainland,” Taylor said. “That figure for Taikoo Place is significantly
lower but growing. We’ve always maintained a diverse and balanced tenant
base across our portfolio, both in terms of nationality and the sectors
they operate in.”
Despite
the prevailing uncertainty and current state of the market, Swire’s
core portfolio, which includes both Taikoo Place and Pacific Place, has seen occupancy in the high 90 per cent range, said Taylor.
Two Taikoo Place
has so far secured commitment for 50 per cent of its space, he added.
Its tenants include Julius Baer, which will take up four floors spanning
close to 100,000 sq ft, and two other banks that will lease close to
200,000 sq ft. Other tenants are Amundi, BASF and Boston Consulting
Group.
Other new office property supply expected this year includes AIRSIDE in Kai Tak and 98 How Ming Street in Kwun Tong. These will increase new office supply to 5 million sq ft, according to another property consultant.
An
agent said that the gradual resumption of international travel will
have a positive effect on office leasing activity and demand in the next
few months.
“However,
record-high vacancies and a supply boom will ensure rents soften
further and stay at low levels” in the short-term, the agent added.

長實海韻軒酒店申改建1503伙
疫情下本港酒店業為重災區之一,部分財團決定將酒店轉作住宅發展。長實旗下紅磡海韻軒海景酒店向城規會申請全幢改裝,以提供約1503個住宅單位及約442個酒店房間,當中酒店房間數目較現時大減約78%。
據城規會文件顯示,項目位於紅磡紅樂道12號,目前屬「商業 (3)」地帶,申請擬議分層住宅及准許的酒店、商店及服務行業和食肆用途並略為放寬私家車 / 貨車公眾停車場的總樓面面積。
住宅總樓面逾80萬呎
地盤面積約106994方呎,住宅部分總樓面約802090方呎,非住宅樓面約401756方呎。擬議發展將現時的海韻軒酒店改建成約1503個住宅單位及約442個酒店房間,當中酒店房間數目對比現時的1980個,大幅減少1538個或約78%。
現時該酒店共有3幢物業,是次改建住宅分布於第1座及第2座,而第3座則作酒店用途。據發展計畫,在較低樓層則設有零售和餐飲設施。在優化地下至二樓的空間布局以容納所需的內部運輸設施、住宅和酒店大堂、機電設施等後,擬議發展能提供一個約149135方呎的公眾停車場。
酒店房大減約78%
由於所提供的總樓面面積比核准圖規定作提供私家車/貨車公眾停車場的不少於175453方呎的總樓面面積減少約15%,因此需要略為放寬私家車 / 貨車公眾停車場的總樓面面積。
申請人指,擬議發展計畫能在短期內提供約1503個住宅單位,與政府增加房屋土地供應的政策相符。而且設獨立的出入口、電梯大堂等能夠將同一樓宇內的住宅及酒店用途實際分開,並不會構成 協調問題及避免對將來住客造成滋擾。
而且紅磡海濱原定旅遊發展計畫從未實現,申請地點作為尖沙嘴東部酒店中心區的擴展部分的功能已逐漸減弱。該地區有充足酒店房間供應,以應付預期旅遊業復甦期間的需求。擬議發展計畫不會增加現時建築物的高度或體積,因此楷梯式的高度和視覺走廊將能保留。
資料顯示,上述項目曾在2018年獲屋宇署批建兩幢29層高的商廈,以及1幢2層高的物業,總樓面約110.73萬方呎。

UBS will move to SHKP's West Kowloon project
Sun
Hung Kai Properties (0016) said UBS will be the first anchor tenant of
its multi-tower development atop the High-Speed Rail's West Kowloon
Terminus.
The Swiss bank
will relocate its Hong Kong operations to the top nine floors of the
tallest tower, taking up a floor area of approximately 250,000 square
feet.
Though the rents have not been made public, the developer might refer to its other office tower in the same area - the International Commerce Centre
- where monthly rents currently range from HK$80 to HK$90 per square
foot, a property agent said. But the agent said the prices could change,
since UBS will not move in before 2026.
In August, the 108-storey International Commerce Centre
welcomed China's first joint venture investment bank China
International Capital Corporation, with reported monthly rents of
HK$3.56 million, or about HK$75 per square foot.
SHKP
chairman and managing director Raymond Kwok Ping-luen said the lender's
relocation to West Kowloon is "a vote of confidence in Hong Kong as a
key international financial center."
The
26-km High Speed Rail runs from West Kowloon and connects Hong Kong
with the mainland's 25,000 km national high-speed rail network.
Amy
Lo Choi-wan, Asia-Pacific co-head of UBS Wealth Management and chief
executive of UBS Hong Kong, said the location of the new office will
connect UBS "with the Greater Bay Area" and "major cities on the
mainland."
SHKP's
project atop the station provides 2.6 million square feet of office
premises and some 600,000 square feet of retail space. Its location is
also adjacent to the Airport Express Line and connects to three other
MTR lines.
It expects the project to be completed by 2025 and UBS could move in early 2026.
UBS has had its Hong Kong headquarters in the Two International Finance Centre in Central since 2003.
But the Covid outbreak has seen overseas companies move out of Central and dragged down rents. An office in Two International Finance Centre was leased with a rent of HK$168 per square foot this July, 16 percent lower than the previous rental.
However, global investment management firm Invesco will relocate to Jardine House in Central by renting 33,000 sq ft in the high zone from November, Hongkong Land said.

瑞銀租西九高鐵甲廈25萬呎 新地首錄租賃 涉頂樓9全層
新地位於高鐵西九龍總站發展項目首錄租賃,國際知名財富管理機構瑞銀將會進駐,承租該廈樓面約25萬方呎,成為該地標項目首名租戶。市場人士則預料,該廈租金參考毗鄰的環球貿易廣場,呎租逾60元,月租逾1500萬,是今年以來暫錄最大宗甲廈租賃。
瑞銀將租用高鐵西九龍總站發展項目,涉及為最高1座大樓的頂樓9全層,總樓面約25萬方呎,將營運單位遷入。新地主席兼董事總經理郭炳聯表示,瑞銀在環球經濟不明朗時長租該項目,令人鼓舞,肯定西九作為商業核心區地位,同時,對香港國際金融中心地位投下信心一票。
新地郭炳聯:令人鼓舞
他續說,項目提供寫字樓及零售樓面各260萬及約60萬方呎,與環球貿易廣場發揮協同效應,成為集團在西九龍另一個地標項目。項目由扎哈.哈迪德建築師事務所 (Zaha Hadid Architects) 負責設計,預計2025年內落成,瑞銀將於2026年初開始遷入。
瑞銀盧彩雲:與大灣區接軌
瑞銀財富管理亞太區聯席主管兼瑞銀香港區主管及行政總裁盧彩雲表示,新辦公室將按集團所需而興建,提升同事工作效率,由於項目地理位置佳,讓集團與大灣區、內地城市及世界各地接軌。
市場消息預料,該廈租金參考環球貿易廣場,呎租由60至90元不等,若以60元計算,月租高逾1500萬,屬於超級大租賃,亦是今年以來市場上最大宗租賃;瑞銀現時承租中環國際金融中心部分樓面,料將續租至2027年才遷出。
市場指呎租逾60元
有代理表示,疫市下貿易行業、上市公司及律師樓等,都在縮減樓面,惟金融及投資行業仍在擴張,瑞銀及景順都是金融行業,由於業務未受影響,疫市下仍然積極,另外,共用空間亦趁租金下跌,紛進駐甲廈,不過,共用空間需要簽下長租約,才可以回本,租約往往長達八年至十年。
該項目坐落本港唯一高鐵站上蓋外,更鄰近機場快綫和三條港鐵路綫,項目毗鄰西九文化區,項目料獲6項重要的綠色及W
ELL建築標準認證,包括提供超過10萬方呎休憩用地,當中設有開放予公眾的戶外觀景台,而一條長1.5公里的西九花園綠徑將把項目與佐敦、油麻地等區與西九海濱連繫起來。

全新甲廈樓面釋出 租務料稍加快
近日甲廈租務稍增,全新甲廈漸錄成交,相信預計通關在即下,全新甲廈租務將加快。
近期全新甲廈項目租務,而即將落成的啟德地標甲廈 AIRSIDE,錄得首宗寫字樓租務成交,涉及物業22樓全層,面積約3.75萬平方呎。新租客為一家跨國採購公司,主要業務為生產及採購家庭電器、廚具等。據了解,該租客原租用大角咀嘉運大廈約2萬多呎辦公室,因於業主將重建物業,故需尋找新寫字樓,現搬至全新甲廈,兼作出樓面擴充。
AIRSIDE 成交呎租約30元
消息稱,是次成交呎租約30元。翻查資料,南豐於2020年尾時開始為 AIRSIDE 進行招租,當時環球出現疫情近1年,因應市況業主表示項目商廈部分意向呎租約40元,已較原先的呎租50元下調。可是疫情下持續封關,商務活動暫緩,衝擊商廈租務,直至近日才獲租客首進駐。招租長達兩年,按成交呎租計,較預期下調約4成。
南豐於2017年以246億元投得啟德商業地皮,打破當時賣地紀錄。項目樓高47層,當中30層為寫字樓,涉及120萬平方呎,而商廈每層面積約3.2萬至5.3萬平方呎,其中10至18樓為相連樓層,每層達5.3萬平方呎,可謂全港極為罕有。寫字樓近日正式入伙,預計租務將加快。
東九龍另一大型甲廈項目,亦錄預租個案。消息指,新地 (00016) 旗下觀塘巧明街98號新甲廈項目錄預租,涉及物業2座,約1萬平方呎樓面,成交呎租約30元。據了解,新租客為時裝品牌Agnes
b,該品牌原租用太古城中心商廈,搬遷可提升物業質素,兼節省租金。較早前項目已錄大手預租,當中8萬平方呎樓面,獲積金局租用,呎租料約30元。該機構現租用觀塘、葵涌等甲廈,料作整合業務及擴充。
據了解,巧明街項目總樓面115萬平方呎,其中兩幢寫字樓合共約65萬平方呎,而兩幢樓面每層面積,分別約2.2萬及1.3萬平方呎。翻查資料,項目前身為九巴車廠用地,重建成商廈,預計今年尾商廈部分入伙。
今年另一大型甲廈項目落成,為太古地產鰂魚涌太古坊二座,該廈預租率約50%,去年獲瑞士寶盛私人銀行預租4層樓面,涉近10萬平方呎,該項目亦新錄承租個案,進駐租戶包括東方匯理香港、德國化工業巨頭巴斯夫集團及波士頓顧問集團等,以及中資銀行承租逾15萬平方呎樓面,成為項目主要租戶。
市場憧憬「0+0」 帶動商務
分析指,現時入境檢疫放寬至「0+3」,市場憧憬不久後可放寬至「0+0」,預計可帶動商務活動,淡靜兩年多的商廈租務可望轉活躍。今明兩年為商廈高峰期,多個大型甲廈項目正在招租中,由於新甲廈設備新質素高,故在吸客上優勢,正值商務活動加快,可以預計新甲廈租務活動轉活躍。

九龍甲廈空置率11.73% 仍偏高
九龍區甲廈空置率仍偏高,資料顯示,目前九龍區甲廈空置率錄11.73%。
尖沙咀8月空置率 減至約10.2%
據本港一間代理行統計,8月份九龍區整體指標商廈空置率錄得約11.73%,對比7月份回落0.36個百分點,按年則減低0.8個百分點,其中一綫商業區尖沙咀錄得明顯減幅,由7月份約11.81%,減低1.64個百分點至約10.17%,惟對比2021年同期表現就見遜色,較之前高出1.87個百分點。
尖東甲級商廈林立,該地段8月份寫字樓空置率錄得12.04%,按月減低0.7個百分點,按年對比則上升0.67個百分點。旺角區8月甲廈空置率雖然按月上升1.07個百分點至約5.07%,但實質為九龍商業區中最低,對比2021年同期更大幅減低2.49個百分點。
九龍東方面,觀塘區指標商廈空置率有所改善,最新錄得約9.56%,按月遞減0.21個百分點,按年跌幅達2.96個百分點。惟九龍灣因甲廈樓面供應過剩,九龍灣8月份空置率錄得約19.42%,比7月上升0.41個百分點,按年略微減少1.04個百分點,但未來數年續有大型寫字樓項目發展,相信區內商廈空置率短期內難以回落。

石門新都廣場 呎價低水合用家
石門屬活化項目,而樓面大呎價低水,正合用家需求。
新都廣場位於石門安耀街2號,用戶可駕車出入外,新都廣場距離石門港鐵站只有約5分鐘步程,另周邊有多條巴士綫,前往港島及九龍各區等。值得一提,現時港鐵屯馬綫及東鐵綫等,前往尖沙咀及金鐘等商業區僅數站距離,非常方便。
配套上,以往石門缺乏餐飲,自從京瑞廣場落成後設有商場,提供酒樓、茶餐廳等,另配套更為充足。
提供158私家車位
物業前身為工貿大廈,於1997年落成,大業主認為把物業活化,更有利其身價,故把項目申請改作商廈用途,並於2012年12月,獲批特權豁免書,並為大廈進行翻新。物業共設有8部客用升降機,以及4部載貨升降機,數目較相若規模商廈多。另外,大廈車位亦見充足,位於大廈地下至3樓,提供158個私家車位、7個貨車位及16個電單車位。
物業樓高29層,每層寫字樓樓面由10,145至21,368平方呎不等。物業一大優點,就是樓面大,全層適合大型用家。對中小型用戶來說,每層設有10至18個單位,視乎層數而定。高層樓面較大,設有單位數較多,項目單位由約880至1,400平方呎不等,總計整幢物業共設有390個寫字樓單位。物業前身為工貿物業,質素上卻與商廈看齊,大部分單位樓底有3.8米高,加上全落地玻璃。此外,部分單位設兩邊窗,空間感足。大廈屬開則呈長方形,無多餘角位,內籠屬無柱位設計,用戶可靈活作間隔,部分單位更內置士多房。
樓層大堂位於每層的中間位置,當中以5至8號單位,最接近大堂。經過大型翻新工程後,新都廣場設備已獲全面提升。物業外牆備有玻璃幕牆,各層電梯大堂地台鋪有人造石,牆身鋪上天然石及玻璃面板,假天花亦配有照明系統。樓層大堂設有窗戶引入光綫,大堂空間足夠,每層均設有洗手間。景觀方面,高層物業1至11號單位,可望山景景。至於其他單位主望區內樓景。感覺尚算開揚。
新都廣場大業主大昌地產,早年拆售物業,最大手為2017年,六福集團 (00590) 以5.6億元,購入大廈4層樓面,連同一批車位,平均呎價約6,851元。據悉,集團購入上述物業,主要作為後勤辦公室。
近年買賣上,現時大廈呎價低水,去年10月物業1610室,面積約1,208平方呎,以約900萬元成交,呎價約7,450元。另今年2月,物業高層單位,面積約922平方呎,以約737.6萬元成交,呎價約8,000元。

億京資產管理董事梁庇世表示,隨着疫情回穩,社區活動漸趨活躍,活動空間需求大增,帶動相關租務市場。億京旗下位於新蒲崗的萬迪廣場近月錄得多宗商業樓層租務成交,涉及面積超過3萬方呎,當中包括跳舞學校、瑜伽教室、健美中心及宗教聚會場所。
他指出,隨着網購漸趨普及、傳統零售市場開始有結構性變化,零售商對店舖需求日減。億京旗下商場,例如萬迪廣場和荃灣的Plaza
88,都主力引入不同類型的社區服務和體驗式消費等行業,務求把商場打造成多元化的社區活動空間,提供適合的空間和設施配套,創造連接社區的紐帶。
他又留意到集團旗下商場租戶除了業務多元化,當中有不少租戶都是初創企業或剛起步的本地品牌,相信是因為商場能提供靈活的間隔和獨立冷氣設施配合他們的營運及業務發展需要。

Evergrande crisis: creditors seek to drum up demand for Hong Kong trophy headquarters with prospect of rebuilding it bigger
The
cost of knocking down and rebuilding the tower in Wan Chai could add
HK$3 billion to the HK$7 billion and HK$9 billion for the land estimated
by agents
Once a crown jewel of Chinese tycoon Hui Ka-yan’s property empire, China Evergrande Centre was recently taken over by the receivers from Alvarez & Marsal
The Hong Kong headquarters of troubled China Evergrande Group, recently put up for sale by receivers, is hoping to woo buyers with the prospect of building a higher tower on the spot overlooking the iconic Victoria Harbour.
“If
the new buyer chooses to rebuild the tower, the new building could
stretch 135 metres high from the current 98 metres, or about 33-storeys
with more sea-view floors,” property agent said, the sole agent mandated
by the receivers of the property.
The cost of knocking down and rebuilding China Evergrande Centre
in Wan Chai could add HK$3 billion (US$380 million) to the price range
of between HK$7 billion and HK$9 billion for the land estimated by the
agents, according to the agent.
That means an estimated investment in the range of HK$10 billion to HK$12 billion, or HK$28,950 to HK$34,740 per square foot.
That is in line with the
HK$31,000 per sq ft Henderson Land Development paid for the iconic New
Central Harbourfront commercial site 3 last year.
“A
possible strategy would be for potential buyers to invest in the plot
of land for the long term, rather than focusing on the 3-5 years of
yield return of the office tower, which is definitely not very high at
this moment due to the interest hikes,” the agent said.
The agency invited bids for the 27-storey China Evergrande Centre on Gloucester Road on September 25. The tender will close at noon on October 31.
“So
far we have received some warm reactions from interested parties and we
believe that the property could be successfully snapped up,” the agent
said.
Once a crown jewel of Chinese tycoon Hui Ka-yan’s property empire, China Evergrande Centre
was recently taken over by the receivers Tiffany Wong and Kitty Yeung,
directors in Hong Kong at global restructuring and management advisory
firm Alvarez & Marsal. They were appointed by creditors in
September.
The
tower is pledged as collateral for a HK$7.6 billion loan from lenders
led by China Citic Bank International, the Hong Kong subsidiary of
Chinese state-owned China Citic Bank Corp, Ming Pao, a Chinese-language
newspaper, reported in August.
In other words, the sale will not directly offer any relief to Evergrande’s dire liquidity.
“If
the final price tag cannot cover the loan, theoretically the creditors
can still go after the Chinese developer,” a surveyor said.
“It
is not an easy deal, to be honest. The creditors would hope to have a
clean exit, with the proceeds to cover the loans at least, but the Hong
Kong office market has been hit hard in the souring micro-environment.”
The
city’s economy shrank 1.4 per cent in the second quarter of this year,
following a 3.9 per cent contraction in the first three-month period.
Average
rents in the city’s office space will fall by as much as 5 per cent
this year and by another 5 to 10 per cent next year, according to
another agency.
The current downturn in Hong Kong’s office property market has been described by the agency as its “longest and deepest”.
China Evergrande Centre,
built in 1985, has a gross floor area of about 345,423 sq ft (32,000
square metres). It includes a lobby, shops, office floors each with a
typical area area of 12,000 to 14,000 sq ft, plus 55 parking spaces.
Evergrande
paid US$1.6 billion, or a then-record HK$36,187 per square foot to
acquire the asset then known as Mass Mutual Tower, from developer
Chinese Estates Holdings in 2015.
“We
will see more such distressed property sales of assets that have not
yet entered forced-sale procedures, as their owners choose to cash in
with huge discounts to ease their liquidity problems in the near
future,” the surveyor predicted.
“Local Hong Kong wealthy investors and families are interested in such assets because they are cheap.”

Hong Kong developers lobby government to end cooling measures, protect homeowners from negative equity amid price slump
The
Real Estate Developers Association is lobbying the government to lift
stamp duties imposed as a cooling measure when the market was much
hotter
The number of homes valued below their mortgage loan amount remains small, and analysts do not expect a massive increase soon
Hong
Kong property developers and agents are lobbying the government to
scrap legacy stamp duties to avoid pushing homeowners into negative
equity amid slumping home prices, a clarion call that is being dismissed
by analysts.
The
city’s 1.4 million private property owners could face negative equity –
when a home loan exceeds the market value of the property – if home
prices fall further, said Stewart Leung, executive committee chairman of
the Real Estate Developers Association (Reda), which represents the
city’s biggest developers.
If
cooling measures are not relaxed, and prices keep declining, banks will
ask mortgage holders to repay part of their loans, Leung, who is also
chairman of Wheelock Properties, told the Post in a call on Tuesday.
“It will mess up the market,” he said. “Even if home prices do not rise, do not let them fall.”
The government has
implemented cooling measures for more than a decade to reduce short-term
speculation and lessen non-local and investment demand.
“The government must scrap the cooling measures,” Leung said. “Otherwise, it will affect the 1.4 million households.”
Leung’s call came as a market index compiled by a property agency, has fallen by more than 10 per cent from a market peak in August 2021, returning to its level in February 2019.
Hong Kong home prices could plummet by 30 per cent by the end of 2023
as sharply increasing interest rates continue to pressure affordability
and repel investors from the market, according to Goldman Sachs.
Analysts do not expect a rapid increase in the number of owners facing negative equity.
“Based
on the current market conditions, I think there is no room to
completely remove all the stamp duties currently in place, as we have
not seen the residential market drastically collapse,” a property agent
said.
Hong
Kong saw 55 cases of residential mortgage loans in negative equity in
the three months ended June 30, according to Hong Kong Monetary
Authority (HKMA) data, down from 104 in the three months ended March 31.
The aggregate value of these cases stood at HK$300 million (US$38.2
million), versus HK$610 million in the comparative period.
A
massive number of cases “should not appear so fast”, a mortgage broker
said. “Chances will be greater for those who bought in the last two
years. Unless the market falls sharply again, and buyers use high
loan-to-value ratios, it should be relatively safe.”
Hong
Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan underscored the sanguine outlook.
Speaking on September 22 after the US Federal Reserve raised its key
rate, he said he did not think Hong Kong’s property market slump posed a
risk to the city’s financial system.
“I
don’t think there would be a risk of sharp adjustment in the property
market. But obviously, given the dampened sentiment, you can tell from
the recent figures that the transaction volume has come down, and prices
[have] been adjusted a little,” he said, according to a transcript
posted on the government’s website. “We will continue to monitor the
situation, but we don’t believe there will be a risk to the financial
system.”
Negative
equity peaked at more than 105,000 households in 2003 after the
outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) sent already
struggling home prices spiralling down, according to HKMA figures.
“Many
owners would rather change hands at a loss to cash out,” a property
agent said. “Quite a few buyers who have entered the market with
mortgages at a high loan-to-value ratio in recent years have fallen into
a crisis of negative equity.”
For
example, Cullinan West in western Kowloon saw a flat change hands at
HK$32.5 million recently, for a loss of HK$10.49 million, according to
another local agency.
This year’s overall number of property transactions is expected to be around 64,000, the lowest in 32 years, an agent said.
The
sluggish transaction volume proves that the property market has entered
an “ice age”, and that the cooling measures launched earlier for the
hot property market are out of date, the agent said.

甲廈空置惡化 達1190萬呎新高
外資代理行:0+3可帶動租務 租金全年跌5%
疫情持續下,甲樓空置情況惡化,有外資代理行指,甲廈最新空置樓面再上升至1,190萬平方呎,屬歷史最多,而空置率為14.1%,已逼近歷史最高位僅差0.3個百分點,東九龍空置更高見2成,該行料「0+3」後可帶動租務,惟因新供應多,租金全年仍跌5%,空置率年尾創新高。
據該行最新數字,今年第3季新增180萬平方呎甲廈新供應,同時間吸納情況不算理想,故空置樓面達1,190萬平方呎,創歷史新高,而空置率上升2個百分點至14.1%,而東九龍區空置率更高見2成。
東九龍空置率高見2成
該行代理認為,相信不論檢疫措施0+3及日後可能再放寬至「0+0」,可帶動商務活動,令甲廈租務增加,惟目前空置樓面多,要吸納尚要一段時間,再加上中港通關尚未有時間表,料全年商廈租金跌5%。
該代理指,空置率最高紀錄為2004年,涉14.4%,代理相信按此走勢,今年空置率將創新高,因今明兩年供應多,料明年空置率更升至約15.6%。
投資市場方面,該行另一代理指,第3季因美國加息步伐加快,令大額物業投資市場淡靜,涉及7,700萬元的大額買賣僅錄20宗,宗數按季跌一半。
後市上,代理認為以現時商業借貸成本已達3.6%,投資成本提高,外資基金及本地買家均轉為觀望,相信第4季大手買賣較為淡靜,但該代理認為因物業價格已作調整,故相信仍有財團等趁低吸納的機會。若0+0措施實行,他預計因酒店入住率改善,投資前景相對較佳。

橋頭圍商業項目 打造天水圍版apm
在「北部都會區」策略推動之下,洪水橋/廈村新發展區將會興建港深西部鐵路來往前海,預計將帶動比鄰的天水圍商業及住宅發展,而天水圍最新有大型商業項目獲屋宇署批出建築圖則,涉及總樓面逾85萬平方呎,勢成「天水圍版」的觀塘創紀之城5期 apm項目。
「北部都會區」重點發展香港新界北一帶的用地,佔地約3萬公頃。在港深兩地的商業活動交流,政府將會落實於洪水橋/廈村新發展區興建港深西部鐵路連接前海,料位處旁邊的天水圍的商業活動亦將會受惠。
3項目增151萬呎商業樓面
政府早在90年代將天水圍發展為新市鎮,原為大片魚塘的天水圍隨即大變天,並吸引不少發展商在區內「插旗」,發展大型屋苑。雖然該區以住宅發展為主,但區內不乏商業項目,現時該區合共有3個較新或將落成的大型商業及商住項目,共提供約151萬平方呎的商業樓面。
當中較矚目為新地 (00016) 持有的天水圍橋頭圍項目,用地位於洪天路與屏廈路交界,鄰近港鐵天水圍站,項目於今年7月獲屋宇署批出建築圖則,獲准興建1幢28層高 (另設3層地庫) 的商廈,總樓面面積約85.62萬平方呎。
事實上,新地於去年以約19.74億元為上述項目補地價,當時每呎樓面補價約2,305元,料為新界最大宗商業項目補地價個案之一。新地過往曾就地皮申請發展為住宅,惟於2016年向城規會申請改作發展為辦公室、商店及服務行業、食肆等綜合商業用途,當中零售商場樓面佔約50萬平方呎,辦公室則佔約35.6萬平方呎的樓面,並已於2017年獲會方批准相關申請。
嘉湖海逸酒店改裝 減8成住宅
另外,鑑於疫情重創酒店業,長實 (01113)
持有的天水圍嘉湖海逸酒店,今年再度向城規會提交新方案,由重建變成改裝方案,將會改裝為2幢不多於24層高 (另設2層地庫)
的分層住宅,提供約1,102伙。至於現時的酒店地下及1樓,將改作商業用途,現有平台的商業用途 (置富嘉湖第一及二期)
則會保留。改裝後的項目總樓面約116.3萬平方呎,其中住宅總樓面佔約59.9萬平方呎,非住用總樓面約56.4萬平方呎。
長實於2019年已曾就上述項目向城規會申請重建為2幢53層高的綜合商住項目,總樓面逾200萬平方呎,料提供約5,000伙住宅,平均面積約300平方呎。相比之下,住宅伙數大減近8成。

外資代理行:商廈租金按季跌0.4%至3.4%
有外資代理行指出,今年第3季寫字樓租金進一步下跌,跌幅介乎0.4%至3.4%,整體空置率10.2%,涉約650萬方呎,九龍東為4.4%,空置樓面190萬方呎,中環130萬方呎,空置率8.3%,部分地區空置率接近或稍高於09年金融海嘯時水平。
中環呎租跌至102.5元
該行指出,長沙灣、葵涌及荃灣跌幅最小,幅度0.4%,港島南3.4%跌幅最大,中環呎租跌至102.5元,較2019年高位跌33%,整體較高位跌約30%。
中資租賃規模低於2018年水平,較活躍的中資主要是私募基金及資產管理、證券、銀行、房地產及保險行業,偏好核心商務區,以中環為例,中資租戶佔25%,上環高達35%,與此同時,本季陸續出現來自其他行業租賃,包括ESG相關行業、金融科技、加密貨幣及NFT等。
數據顯示,香港租金高於第二位東京,最近部分企業由港遷移新加坡,令新加坡核心甲廈整體租金按季微升0.3%,當地超級甲廈租金升幅更高,達0.9%。
該行代理表示,部分有意搬遷租客,考慮裝修成本及還原費用,部分業主願意提供更長免租期甚至補貼裝修。

新地上訴觀塘工廈強拍令駁回 伯恩光學持逾97%業權可進行拍賣
由伯恩光學創辦人楊建文併購的觀塘業發工業大廈第一期,今年4月獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令,其後持有該廈2個單位的新地提出上訴申請,最新遭土地審裁處拒絕批出上訴許可。該項目為早於1978年落成的15層高工廈,至今樓齡約44年,今年4月曾獲該處批出強拍底價為23.49億,若以強拍底價作計算,每方呎樓面呎價約9788元。若順利統一業權,將與毗鄰工廈合併發展。
是次上訴的業主為Pawling Limited持有8樓C及D室兩個單位,據新地年報顯示,Pawling Limited為新地主要附屬公司之一,並持有該公司100%權益。
上述項目位於「其他指定用途」註明「商貿」地帶,容許作部分「工業」的用途,據判詞顯示,上訴人認為申請地點應視為位處工業地帶,若在「工業」用地申請強拍,必須集齊90%的業權,認為80%強拍門檻並不適用於該座工廈,因此不應批出該強制售賣令。
新地僅持有2單位
據強拍條例,地段上每個單位各佔該地段不可分割份數的10%以上;地段上所有樓宇的樓齡均達50年或以上;及地段並非坐落於工業地帶,而地段上的所有大廈均為樓齡達30年或以上的工業大廈。
「破壞其重建計畫」
根據判詞伯恩光學總裁楊建文口供指,新地刻意破壞其重建計畫。而法庭指,上訴人未能就上訴提供合理觀點,因此拒絕批出上述許可。
業發工業大廈第1期位於開源道77號,鄰近觀塘鱷魚恤中心及創紀之城5期 apm等商廈,該項目為早於1978年落成的15層高工廈,至今樓齡約44年,該項目地盤面積約2萬方呎,土地用途為商貿地帶,若地積比約12倍重建發展,涉及可建總樓面約24萬方呎;今年4月曾獲該處批出強拍令,底價為23.49億,若以強拍底價計算,每方呎樓面呎價約9788元。
獲批建39層高商廈
值得留意的是,楊建文或有關人士早於2017年12月透過強拍途徑以底價約16.216億、統一毗鄰開源道75號業發工業大廈2期。而該兩幢工廈連同毗鄰的年運工業大廈已於去年9月曾向城規會申請合併上述項目並放寬兩成地積比率限制發展,重建為一幢樓高39層的商廈,涉及總樓面約72萬方呎,而城規會於今年5月已批准該申請,規劃許可有效期至2026年5月20日。
強拍底價23.49億
據城規會文件顯示,上址地盤面積約5萬方呎,申請放寬地積比率約20%發展,由12倍增加至14.4倍,重建為1幢樓高39層
(包括各1層的平台花園、防火層及空中花園,另有5層地庫)
的商業大廈,其中地庫1樓至10樓屬零售餐飲用途,樓上則屬於辦公室用途,涉及總樓面約72萬方呎。
另外,該項目亦提供合共311個車位,值得留意的是,項目平面圖顯示於部分樓層預留位置興建行人天橋連接毗鄰的商廈。

Stamp duty revenues hit record low
Hong Kong's overall stamp duty revenues plunged 30
percent quarter-on-quarter to a record low of HK$1.25 billion in the
third quarter, amid US interest rate hikes and global economic downturn,
data from the Inland Revenue Department shows.
The number of transactions between July and September also slumped 22.8 percent to 657 from three months ago.
The number of cases for special stamp duty dropped
23.1 percent quarter-on-quarter to 50, an over-10-year low, and the
revenue also plunged 16.8 percent to HK$39.7 million.
Buyer's stamp duty brought the government 25.1
percent less revenue to HK$303.6 million from July to September, while
the amount of double stamp duty was reduced by 31.7 percent to HK$907
million compared to last quarter.
A property agency appealed to the government to
lift all stamp duties in the coming policy address to avoid home prices
to fall faster and to avoid negative equity cases to surge.
In other news, the compulsory sale of Rose Court
at Yau Yat Chuen will start next month, with a reserve price of HK$2.075
billion.
The project's gross build-able floor area is up to 116,800 square feet, or HK$17,735 per square foot.
Completed in 1967, Rose Court consists of 22
blocks of 3-storey residential buildings, offering a total of 66
residential units and 66 car parking spaces.

Hong Kong’s housing market cooling measures: What are they? Have they done their job? And should they be relaxed?
The
government and the monetary authority have introduced a variety of
duties and rules to cool the city’s hot property market since 2010
With the market now in a slump, developers and agents would like to see these measures relaxed
Since the Hong Kong government began introducing cooling measures for the property market in 2010, annual home sales
have generally declined. But this year at least one analyst believes
that the number of transactions will fall to a 32-year low, raising
questions about whether an already cooling market needs more cooling.
Between
2007 and 2010, annual sales of new homes, lived-in homes and public
housing units numbered between 97,678 and 137,721, according to official
government data. Between 2011 and 2021, sales numbered between 52,811
and 86,049.
Between
those two time periods, the government introduced a series of new stamp
duties – taxes on residential property transactions. In addition the
Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the city’s de facto central bank,
has imposed rules on home loans that act to cool the market.
So far this year, overall property transactions,
including residential and non-residential property, stand at 39,409. A
property agent estimates that for the rest of the year only about 25,000
units are likely to be sold, bringing the annual tally of property
sales to a 32-year low.
Many factors besides the
cooling measures play a role in the current market slump, including the
pandemic and its associated quarantine measures, rising interest rates, a
stock-market in bear territory and recession fears.
Nonetheless, an association representing property developers is calling on the government to relax the cooling measures.
The association warns that slumping prices threaten to push many
homeowners into negative equity – where their loan amounts are higher
than their home values.
What stamp duties has the government implemented to cool property prices?
Special
Stamp Duty (SSD): Introduced in November 2010, this tax is applicable
to any residential property that is resold within 36 months, and the
less time an owner holds a property, the higher the applicable rate. The
SSD initially was between 5 and 15 per cent, but this was raised to
between 10 and 20 per cent in 2012.
Buyer
Stamp Duty (BSD): Rolled out in October 2012, the BSD aims to suppress
demand from people who are not Hong Kong permanent residents. It charges
such buyers a flat rate of 15 per cent on the value of the property.
Double
Stamp Duty (DSD): This tax, introduced in 2013, doubles the ad valorem
(according to value) stamp duty tax for a buyer who is not a first-time
buyer or who already holds a residential property in Hong Kong.
Higher
ad valorem rate: In November 2016, the government raised the ad valorem
rate to a flat 15 per cent for all buyers except Hong Kong permanent
residents who are first-time buyers or do not already own a residential
property in Hong Kong. The rate was between 4.25 and 8.5 per cent
previously.
What do the terms ‘loan-to value ratio’ (LTV), ‘debt-servicing ratio’ (DSR) and ‘stress test’ mean?
The HKMA has launched several measures to cool home prices.
In
2020 HKMA capped the allowed LTV ratio – the ratio of the amount being
borrowed to the value of the property concerned – at between 30 and 60
per cent, down from between 60 and 70 per cent previously.
The
regulator also requires banks to assess an applicants’ DSR, which
indicates how much stress paying the mortgage will impose on an
applicant’s finances. The DSR is simply the ratio of the monthly
mortgage repayment amount to the monthly income of the borrower. The DSR
was capped at between 30 and 60 per cent in 2010, down from between 50
and 60 per cent previously.
Banks
are also required to perform a stress test to estimate an applicant’s
ability to pay the mortgage in case of interest-rate increases.
On September 23, the HKMA asked banks to reduce the stress test requirement from a simulated hike of 300 basis points to an increase of 200 basis points, effectively making the test easier to pass.
Hong Kong’s base interest rate has been raised five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high,
in lockstep with increases by the US Federal Reserve. Commercial banks
including HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of China (Hong Kong) raised their prime rates late last month to a four-year high.
Have the cooling measures actually reduced residential sales?
Residential
sales transactions between 2011 and 2021 were 37 per cent lower than
they were between 2002 and 2010, a property agent said.
The
myriad of cooling measures, most notably the punitive stamp duties on
property transactions, have largely eliminated the market participation
of non-residents, investors and owners of multiple homes, the agent said.
Have the cooling measures reduced home prices?
“Over the years, all these measures cooled down the number of transactions, but not the price,” the agent said.
Prices
of lived-in homes in Hong Kong increased by 160 per cent from 2010 to
2021, according to a government index tracking the segment.
Families
living in the city need to save up for an average of 23.2 years,
without spending a single dollar on anything else, to afford a home in
the city, according to the 2022 Demographia International Housing
report.
Prices have fallen by about 6.5 per cent so far in 2022, however, hitting their lowest level in three-and-a-half years in August, according to a government index. Prices could nosedive 30 per cent through 2023 as interest rates deter buyers, according to a Goldman Sachs forecast.
Are Hong Kong homeowners likely to face negative equity if cooling measures remain?
Hong
Kong saw 55 cases of residential mortgage loans in negative equity in
the three months ended June 30, according to HKMA data, down from 104 in
the three months ended March 31.
The
number of negative-equity cases is on the brink of spiking as home
prices have fallen almost 10 per cent, according to the agent.
Recent
borrowers with LTV of 90 per cent – a high LTV available only to
first-time buyers through the HKMA’s mortgage insurance programme – are
at risk of falling into the negative equity camp if prices continue to
trend lower. A spike in negative equity cases in 2016 – when prices fell
more than 10 per cent from a peak – represents a relevant reference for
what might lie ahead.

商廈錄57.7萬呎淨吸納量 外資代理行:升級搬遷趨勢主導
今年上半年第五波疫情後,整體寫字樓租賃於第三季度錄57.7萬方呎淨吸納量,租賃回升同時,港島東和九龍東三座新寫字樓相繼於今年第三季度投入市場,新落成總寫字樓淨樓面約180萬方呎,令整體空置率攀升至12.6%。
有外資代理行代理表示,新落成甲廈推高空置率,有見升級搬遷 (flight-to-quality)
趨勢持續,質素較低寫字樓受壓,整體甲廈租金於2022年第三季度按季跌1.5%。九龍東和西九龍租金分別按季微升0.9%和0.4%,灣仔及銅鑼灣租金按季跌2.4%。
第三季僅錄26宗大買賣
該行另一代理說,政府放寬入境措施,有助帶動跨國公司對寫字樓租賃需求,預計新增甲廈供應將達到330萬方呎,料升級搬遷將導致同區甲廈空置走向兩極化。
今年第三季受加息影響,僅錄26宗大買賣,按季跌16%,按年跌49%,金額僅錄26億,按季下挫73%。該行另一代理說,核心區一綫街鋪有升值潛力,工業資產受投資者青睞,高力預測2022年的整體成交量按年增長15%。
加息對住宅市場構成壓力,預期私人樓宇價格因此下調,由於買賣雙方期望差距擴大,導致今年第2季度二手住宅季度成交量按年下跌32.3%。該行分析,7月至9月的2823宗二手交易,見業主接受減價,400方呎以下細價樓最明顯,以低市價5%至20%成交,上升了26%。
該行另一代理說,早於疫情爆發前,繳納買家印花稅只佔5.7%,預計開放邊境,未必能扭轉住宅價格跌勢,預計今年樓價按年跌10%至12%,細價樓首當其衝。

大手買賣錄214億按季微跌2.3%
有外資代理行指出,受加息和環球經濟不明朗影響,投資者持審慎態度,今年第三季,逾億大手物業總成交額錄約214億,按季及按年分別微跌2.3%和1.4%,年初至今總額暫錄約543億,與上年同期比較按年跌16.6%,季內寫字樓交投回暖,重建地盤及具改裝為出租公寓潛力的住宅或酒店,亦受追捧。
外資代理行:寫字樓佔50%
寫字樓物業成交在第三季顯著回升至108億,佔季內總交易額50%,亦是自2020年第四季以來的新高,主要受兩宗大筆交易推動,包括九龍灣高銀金融國際中心全幢,估計約70億,以及基金AresSSG以近31億向新世界購入長沙灣永康街商廈項目51%權益,以上成交反映投資者對甲廈長綫後市信心。

組成的合營企業,收購羅便臣道68號全幢住宅,涉資2.75億,預期市場上的酒店買賣陸續有來,而且部分將涉及改裝為共居空間,以提高價值。受限於政府防疫隔離措施和疫情發展,不少中小型酒店面臨財政壓力,故部分酒店業主願意減價出售。

玫瑰苑下月初強拍底價逾20億
本港市區豪宅地皮供應罕有,不少財團向舊樓埋手密密併購,並且透過強拍途徑增加土儲。由財團申請強拍的九龍塘玫瑰苑,早前獲土地審裁處批出強拍令之後,落實於今年11月3日進行拍賣,底價為20.75億,較申請強拍時估值約9.954億,高出10.796億。
土審處文件顯示,今次獲批強拍令的玫瑰苑,位於又一村玫瑰街23至34號,毗鄰私樓又一居,項目早於2020年由BREMONT INVESTMENTS LIMITED申請強拍,上個月終於獲該處批出強制售賣令。
曾4度向小業主出價
該財團2020年申請強拍時,持有約80.30%業權,最新增加至87.88%,目前餘下8個物業未成功收購。
該財團曾於2020年至2022年間,四度向小業主出價收購依然遭拒絕,其中2020年4月曾出價約2508萬至2761萬,其後於2021年4月及今年2月兩度提高出價,今年7月出價進一步增至約3000萬至3300萬,然而依然未能打動小業主。
料可發展為低密度豪宅
現時上址為22幢樓高3層的住宅,早於1967年落成,地盤面積約138960方呎,現劃為「住宅 (丙類) 7」用途,料可發展為低密度豪宅。

美景樓未達強拍門檻 收購告吹 有住戶索價每呎1.8萬 參與業權份數78.09%
本報今年5月率先披露土瓜灣美景樓收購,事件有新進展,本報得悉由於美景樓最終收購業權份數未能達至整體80%強拍的門檻下限水平,負責收購的財團決定放棄收購,令收購計畫被逼告吹,該財團並稱,直至政府立法調低強拍門檻後,屆時再根據市況釐定是否重新啟動收購計畫。
本報取得的文件顯示,就收購美景樓第一期全幢物業,截至2022年9月30日,一期全幢共取得760份業權份數,經財團點算已簽合約同意收購共有593.5份 (已包括尚未補簽的61個單位),佔全幢大廈78.09%業權份數。
本報5月率先披露財團收購
由於同意進行收購的業權份數,未達現時強拍條例下最低80%的下限要求,故此財團決定放棄此次收購計畫,並表示:「直至政府立法調低強拍門檻,再根據當時市況重新釐定及啟動收購計畫。屆時希望各業主能繼續支持及參與聯合出售計畫。」
每呎收購價1.6萬
該文件並剖析收購告吹的主要原因,包括唔賣及失蹤人口單位共有38伙
(約佔5%);另外無參與業權的單位共涉及67.5伙 (約佔8.88%),以及貪心業主要求每方呎收購價18000元單位佔61伙
(約佔8.02%),三項因素合計佔全幢業權份數的21.9%,令是次美景樓收購事宜告吹。
有小業主對是次收購告吹感失望,並痛斥未肯參與的單位要求每方呎收購價達18000元太高,令收購計畫未能成功之餘,由於大廈樓齡已達58年,未來並要「夾錢」進行大規模維修,形容該等單位「累街坊」!
小業主對收購告吹感失望
土瓜灣為重建項目主要核心地區,不少有相當樓齡的舊樓成為財團收購的目標,資料顯示,本報得悉有財團對美景樓第一期進行收購,並於今年5月率先披露該財團以每方呎1.6萬向大廈業主進行收購,當時已集整體的七成業權,該每方呎出價1.6萬元,當中買賣合約價每方呎約1.1萬,另向住戶補貼5000元的搬遷費用,合計約1.6萬。
美景樓極具重建價值
美景樓第一期位於美景街及落山道交界,早於1964年落成,樓齡已達58年,合共提供約701個住宅單位,由於步行前往港鐵土瓜灣站只須約5分鐘,極具重建價值,該舊樓佔地約4.54萬方呎,為市區罕見的大型地盤,若以地積比率9倍重建發展,涉及可建總樓面約40.88萬方呎。是次收購計畫告吹,業主須付一定費用作維修,但由於大廈日久失修,有不同程度的漏水、石屎剝落等問題,有業主曾向本報透露,初步估計維修費用每戶約5萬至10萬,故不少業主對是次收購計畫抱有一定希望。
有業界人士表示,樓市雖然受到疫情及加息等因素打擊,樓價亦較年初顯著下跌,惟市區地皮供應有限,以上述美景樓位置,鄰近港鐵站,地盤面積亦不少,為市區難得的地皮,故樓價下跌下,有住戶不願以低價出售單位,亦情有可原,事實上,區內現時新盤造價每方呎達1.8萬至逾2萬不等,該收購價每方呎約1.6萬,與市價仍有一段距離。

兩測量師行 齊看淡樓市
樓價或挫5成 美停加息才回穩
加息衝擊下,近期樓價持續回落,多家測量師行紛紛調整未來樓市預測。最悲觀的一間外資測量師行預測,樓價會重演於1999至2003年間的漫長下行周期,最終或有機會累跌近50%,認為現在是撤辣的最好時機,以免負資產情況再現。
另一測量師行亦預料,今年全年樓價下跌約12%。
測量師負責人指,今年至今樓價已下跌近10%,雖樓價不會斷崖式下滑,但在加息及全球經濟疲弱等因素影響下,預期明年樓價會重演於1999至2003年間的漫長下行周期,當時期內每年樓價跌10%,累積跌幅近50%。
測量師行籲撤辣稅 防負資產潮
該測量師認為,政府應具前瞻性,在樓價跌勢加劇前採取行動,建議當局立即撤銷買家印花稅 (Buyer's
Stamp Duty,BSD) 及額外印花稅 (Special Stamp
Duty,SSD),並避免分段執行。撤銷BSD是挽留人才的重點,相信撤銷BSD後,其正面影響較通關更大。
該測量師表示,因為SSD政策對於本受經濟困擾的業主有更大打擊及造成不公,所以認為當局應該同時撤銷SSD。該測量師亦建議2,000萬元以上住宅按揭成數該交回銀行決定 (現時最高借貸成數為5成),因為現時按揭成數規定令準買家難以換樓,導致豪宅交投冰封。
該測量師又指,若政府考慮立即撤銷辣招,即使樓市跌勢持續,但可以減慢其跌勢,或留有喘息空間,否則明年樓價會進一步跌逾10%。同時,隨着息口上升,料明年負資產數字將明顯上升,相信豪宅的交投最受影響。
而鑑於通關後亦不代表有大量現金流向本港市場,加上外地人為免繳稅,會盡量避免在港置業,因此如政府不撤辣,通關與否對樓市的影響並不大。
另外,另一測量師行指,美國加息令按揭息口及置業人士的最低收入要求提高,對住宅市場構成壓力,置業人士預期樓價下調。由於買賣雙方價格期望差距擴大,導致今年第二季二手住宅市場的季度成交量按年下挫32.3%。
測量師行倡降印花稅率 招才吸資
該測量師行負責人指,未來6個月的住宅價格調整步伐或會加快,預計樓價於今年將進一步按年跌10%至12%,而明年尚有調整壓力,直至明年下半年美國或停止加息,樓價可望回穩。
該測量師亦指,過往在住宅物業BSD中,非香港永久性居民只佔5.7%,預計通關未必能夠扭轉住宅價格的跌勢。另外,該測量師認為政府可考慮重新審視辣招,如降低BSD稅率 (現為樓價30%),可望吸納人才來港以及投資。

灣仔捷利中心地舖招租 月租叫價35萬
港鐵會展站開通後,對灣仔區工商舖物業受惠最大,更成為不少投資者追捧對象,有個別財團更於日內斥資逾1億元連環購入灣仔3個舖位,反映區內舖位投資前景亮麗,更帶動區內租務氣氛趨暢旺。新近有業主看準時機,將灣仔告士打道兩個相連地舖放租,意向月租合共約35萬元。
最大面積3865呎 每呎租金65
有代理表示,招租物業位於灣仔告士打道42至46號捷利中心地下1號舖以及地下3至4號舖,當中面積最大為地下3至4號舖,面積約3,865平方呎,目前租用予豪舍銷售陳列室,租期將於明年屆滿。而業主計劃以預租方式,以每月約25萬元招租推出市場,平均呎租約65元。
地下1號舖 交吉叫租10萬
同時,比鄰的地下1號舖,面積約1,000平方呎,目前已告交吉,現以每月約10萬元招租。兩個舖位均適合各行各業,包括車行,銀行,陳列室,餐飲業等。業主更為吸引目標行業承租,調整較大議價空間,幅度由約20至30%不等。
該代理指出,大廈提供優質管理服務,現時中、高層寫字樓部分有個別樓層招租中,部分坐擁維港海景,面積由約1,108平方呎起,至全層約7,009平方呎不等,意向呎租由40元起。該代理續稱,面對灣仔區利好因素不絕,工商舖前景向好,在租金叫價上仍傾向克制,更按目標租客群,提供較大議價空間,幅度約20至30%。而灣仔告士打道位於灣仔核心地帶,集結多幢指標商廈,附近亦設有多條巴士路綫、過境巴士及渡海小輪,距離港鐵灣仔站出口步程約4分鐘,而徒步至最新開通的港鐵會展站亦只需8分鐘,更可貫通沙中綫,交通配套完善,料今次項目招租反應將會見理想。
事實上,灣仔區集結不少商廈,地舖甚為矜罕,而市場新近承租位於莊士敦道138號地下1及2號舖,面積約1,502平方呎,獲經營餐飲業租客以月租約38萬元承租,平均呎租約253元。上述舖位連同3及4號舖,合共面積約2,831平方呎,原由連鎖運動用品品牌自2016年起租用,當時月租約63萬元,平均呎租約222元。業主於2022年1月以約2.75億元購入舖位,鑑於疫情反覆便將舖位分拆出租,以迎合更多不同類別租戶。

Harbour Plaza flats plan set
The proposal by CK Asset (1113) to
convert the Harbour Plaza Resort City hotel in Tin Shui Wai into 1,102
flats is set to be approved by the Town Planning Board today.
With
a site area of 27,900 square meters, CK Asset plans to rebuild the two
blocks which involve 55,668 square meters of gross floor area for
residential use and 52,395 of area for commercial use.
CK
Asset applied to the board in 2019 for the redevelopment which would
offer 5,000 flats with an area of 139,500 square meters for residential
use and obtained the approval at the end of 2020.
Meanwhile,
an application to turn the Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard in Tsim Sha
Tsui into a food and beverage hub is expected to receive the green light
as well, as the strip has been hit by a lackluster market.
The owners of three shop properties applied to the Town Planning Board for a change in June.
Another
grant may go to the conversion of Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay -
a hotel owned by Sea Holdings (0251) - into a 28-story commercial
building for offices, shops and services and eating venues. With a site
area of 996.38 sq m and a plot ratio of 15 times, the hotel will be
rebuilt into a commercial project with an area of 14,945.66 square
meters.

HK foreclosures reach level of bad memories
The number of property foreclosure deals has surged to a level reminding people of the financial upheaval in 2008.
According to a property agency, properties being offered for sale at auction reached 209 yesterday - 11 more than last month.
The current number has also exceeded the 200 level for the first time since November 2009.
On
the pattern of foreclosures, it was noted too that in 2008 the number
jumped to over 300 from about 200 cases within half a year.
This
came as property owners failed to keep up with their mortgage loan
repayments amid price falls, so plenty of homes went on the auction
block.
There were 633 homes foreclosed in 2008 and 705 in 2009.
A
property agent said that the foreclosure deals might reach at least 400
if the economy keeps worsening. So the agent appealed to the
administration to reduce stamp duties to boost the property market.
At
the same time, a market index revealed that home prices in the
secondary market have lost an average of over 10 percent of their values
from the highs of last August.
But
arrivals of skilled personnel from the mainland boosted rents of
top-line homes in Hong Kong during the third quarter, a study by another
estate agency shows.
The
agent said luxury rents on Hong Kong Island showed 1.2-percent growth
while in Kowloon and the New Territories the rises were 1.9 percent and
0.5 percent respectively.
The
residential leasing report revealed too that professionals from the
mainland prefer a traditional style of home, resulting in rents in Happy
Valley and Jardine's Lookout climbing 3.2 percent quarter-on-quarter
while in Southside there was a 1.9-percent increase.
Elsewhere,
rents around Ho Man Tin and Kowloon Tong grew 2.2 percent compared with
the previous quarter while in Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom the increase
was 1.8 percent.

業界料中環甲廈租金受壓 瑞銀將搬至尖沙嘴高鐵上蓋項目
近期,投資銀行瑞銀 (UBS) 落實撤出中環,大手預租尖沙嘴廣深港高鐵西九龍總站上蓋 (下稱高鐵上蓋項目) 近25萬方呎樓面,業界人士指,外資撤出中環陸續有來,預期甲廈受壓,租金持續下調。不過,亦有代理強調,波動僅屬短期,長遠來說,中環區甲廈始終供應有限,未來由中資機構主導市場。
瑞銀提早近4年,預租高鐵上蓋項目9層樓面,涉及總樓面約25萬方呎,成為項目首個主要租戶,令市場矚目。根據六家大型測量師行及代理行資料,目前中環整體甲廈空置率介乎8.1%至8.4%,其中有外資代理預測,中環區內明年將有2幢新甲廈落成,提供逾100萬方呎新供應,料空置率持續上升,屆時升至12.4%,新供應為長實長江集團中心二期,總樓面55萬方呎,以及恒基旗下美利道 The Henderson,提供46.5萬方呎樓面。
空置率8.4%歷年新高
另一代理行資料顯示,今年初,中環超級甲廈 (指標甲廈) 平均呎租113.1元,惟直至第三季,呎租回落至108.9元,較年初下跌3.7%,該行認為,今年內租金繼續下跌,比較年初跌幅約5%。
明年新供應100萬呎
事實上,在疫市下,甲廈市況陷入前所未有低潮,根據另一外資代理行資料,目前整體甲廈空置率高達14.1%,空置樓面為1190萬方呎,屬歷來最高。不過,中環空置率8.1%,則是各區當中最低,灣仔 (銅鑼灣)、尖沙嘴及港島東分別為11.5%,13.2%及11.1%,東九龍空置率20.2%,則是全港最高。
不過,有代理則強調,甲廈短期內受壓,高空置推跌租金,不過,假若疫市一過去,長綫勢必平穩及向好,該代理認為,中環是最核心商業區,卻是「彈丸之地」,疫市之前,空置率曾出現1%至2%的低水平,當扣除正常租客更替後,等於「零」空置,大機構找不到合適位置,故此,超級甲廈國際金融中心呎租被推至逾200元,連分散業權的美國銀行中心呎租也曾創下100元新高。
該代理續說,早於2017年及2018年,中資公司蜂擁來港,國內各大證券行爭相落戶中環,指標甲廈國際金融中心幾乎清一色中資,現時股市低迷,他們沒有擴張,但沒有遷走,一旦市況恢復,甲廈又有一番景象。該代理補充說,約十年前,外資保險公司及金融機構陸續遷港東島及九龍東。

甲廈售價按月跌0.9% 代理行:料低位徘徊
踏入今年第三季,受疫情及未放寬的防疫措施影響,加上營商情緒轉趨低迷,寫字樓市場表現仍然疲弱。有代理行指,整體甲廈售價亦錄得輕微跌幅,按月回落0.9%,今年以來累積跌4.2%。
今年以來累跌4.2%
該行發表的商廈市場報告指,商廈成交量持續於低位徘徊,其中50大甲廈上月僅錄4宗買賣,較8月份的2宗稍微上升,受經濟增長放緩、內地及國際企業需求降溫等因素影響,寫字樓租金走勢持續向下,甲廈租金按月跌0.5%,今年以來累積挫5.5%。
面對多重利淡因素,連同市場上大批商廈新供應,潛在投資者或租戶承租商廈取態審慎,商廈空置率維持高企,最新見10%,創近一年新高,當中東九龍空置率更升至16.2%,創2020年6月有紀錄以來新高。
短期後市未明朗
報告又指出,上月連續錄4宗樓價過億的成交。最矚目的商廈買賣為輾轉放售多時的九龍灣高銀金融國際中心全幢,成交價約65億,平均呎價7,625元,暫為今年以來最大額工商物業成交。大買賣亦包括新世界沽售長沙灣永康街商廈項目逾51%業權,作價近31億。
該行指出,雖然政府已推出「0+3」入境政策,但預計短期內未能帶動物業市場。除非政府能夠推出邁向全面通關的具體詳情及利好政策,否則商廈市場將繼續受壓,復甦之路漫長。該代理估計投資者及企業對承租甲級寫字樓保持觀望態度,未來交易傾向以細面積及低呎價為主。若能進一步放寬入境及防疫政策,料能促進企業來港進行商業活動,重新帶動寫字樓需求。

寫字樓租金續跌 港島南3.4%最多
寫字樓租金持續向下,有外資代理行統計指,第3季整體寫字樓租金續向下,而中環空置率升至8.3%。
該外資代理行最新發表的2022年第3季香港寫字樓租賃市場報告指出,上季空置率創下新高,中環及九龍東的商廈受到較大影響。本港各區的租金在第3季度進一步下跌,當中以西九龍走廊 (長沙灣 / 葵涌 / 荃灣) 的跌幅最小 (0.4%),港島南 (3.4%) 跌幅最大。中環上季實質租金跌至每月每平方呎102.5元,較2019年的高峰水平下降了33%,而全港整體平均租金亦較高位下跌了約30%。
第3季整體寫字樓空置率為10.2% (約650萬淨平方呎),當中以九龍東 (14.4% / 190萬淨平方呎) 及中環 (8.3% / 130萬淨平方呎)的空置情況尤其顯著。部分地區的空置率已接近或稍高於2009年環球金融海嘯時的水平。
中環空置率升至8.3%
該行代理指出,由於本港尚未通關,加上股市疲弱,窒礙了中資公司的租賃需求,但仍發現來自ESG、金融科技、加密貨幣、藝術品拍賣、醫療服務、政府和公營機構及私人會所等行業的租賃正在逐漸增加。

疫下靈活辦公興起 營運商紛擴充
疫情下靈活辦公概念興起,出租率不俗,令相關營運商看準商機,近日紛紛擴充,租用甲廈樓面。
據一間外資代理行數字顯示,在2021至2022年,分別有21.9萬及16.4萬平方呎商廈租務成交,涉及共享空間、靈活辦公室,單計今年第3季,已佔整體商廈新租務約1成,在整體商廈租務淡靜下,此行業擴充已相對積極。
其中,近2年大舉擴充的IWG集團,今年繼續物色樓面,近日宣布再增兩據點,旗下品牌Signature和Spaces即將新設2個辦公空間,進一步拓展在港業務,包括下月1日啟用的Signature辦公空間進駐九龍站環球貿易廣場 (ICC) 第86層,佔地3.3萬平方呎,設有467個工作區、6個會議室和60個私人辦公室。
IWG 擴展業務 增2據點
另一據點為中環雲咸街33號 (前稱LKF Tower) 的Spaces辦公空間,佔地5層共2.56萬平方呎,提供5個會議室,以及來自56個私人辦公室及整層企業專屬樓共265個工作區,而19樓將會設立「商務俱樂部」,以便客戶互相交流。據了解,相關樓面原由共享空間WeWork租用,早前退租遷出。
IWG 香港及大灣區區域經理 Paul MacAndrew 表示,觀察到愈來愈多公司投入混合工作模式,不僅在傳統商業區,就連新商業區也反映着如此強勁的趨勢;隨着在環球貿易廣場和LKF Tower分別開設Signature和Spaces辦公空間,反映公司更進一步擴展了在香港市場的業務。
至於新加坡共享工作空間品牌The Great Room,早前預租中環長江集團中心2.1萬平方呎,將於今年第4季開幕。全新的工作間設有22間私人辦公室,包括2個企業辦公室 (Enterprise Units),而私人辦公室中的會籍由1.55萬元起,而流動辦公桌 (Hot Desk) 每月會籍則由3,600元起。The Great Room創辦人及行政總裁洪可珈 (Jaelle Ang) 指,香港為品牌在亞太區業務擴展策略中非常重要的跳板,未來將放眼悉尼、上海、北京及東京等地。
TEC 士丹利街據點 出租率85%
至於TEC (德事商務中心) 旗下中環士丹利街28號新據點近日開幕,成為集團在港第13個據點。涉及該廈全幢19層,總樓面約5.5萬平方呎,提供500個辦公位,現出租率達85%。
分析指,疫情下不少機構採取混合工作模式,令靈活辦公概念更加盛行,故商務中心、共享空間等業務,疫情下沒受影響,反而出租率更佳。同時間,整體甲廈租金仍在低位徘徊,造就靈活辦公空間品牌趁機擴充,按現時走勢,相關品牌擴充步伐未有減慢,料可支持甲廈租務市場。

嘉湖酒店改裝住宅涉1102伙 規劃署不反對 項目需補地價
在疫情影響下,本港旅遊及酒店等行業受到打擊,部分財團率先變陣改劃旗下項目發展;長實上周申請改裝紅磡海韻軒海景酒店後,最新持有的天水圍嘉湖海逸酒店,早前曾向城規會申請改裝1102伙住宅單位,伙數較2020年獲批重建方案大減約78%。最新獲規劃署不反對,城規會將於今日舉行審議有關申請料會「開綠燈」通過。若日後落實發展,項目需進行補地價程序。
規劃署認為,擬議發展不會對交通、空氣、噪音和污水處理產生重大不利影響。目前的申請是對現有建築物進行大規模改造,使其用途基本相同,而且方案不涉及重建或任何輕微放寬地積比率及建築物高度,預計不會影響周邊景觀,故規劃署不反對上述方案,預料在今日可獲城規會通過。
預計不會影響周邊景觀
據文件顯示,嘉湖海逸酒店位於天水圍市地段第4號,鄰近港鐵天水圍站,目前屬「商業」地帶,申請擬議改裝整幢現有酒店作「分層住宅」及准許的商業用途。上述項目地盤面積約30萬方呎,當中住宅樓面約59.92萬方呎,非住宅樓面則佔約56.4萬方呎,即整個項目可建總樓面約116.32萬方呎,另提供約945個車位。
是次改建涉及將現時的嘉湖海逸酒店 (第1及2座) 進行全幢改裝,以提供1102個住宅單位,及將酒店地下及一樓改作商業用途,而現有平台的商業用途 (置富嘉湖第一及二期) 則予以保留。
當時申請人指,擬議發展計畫能在短期內供應住宅單位,並與政府增加房屋土地供應及鼓勵置業的政策相符。由於現有商業平台將予以保留,申請地點將繼續發揮其通達性強的地區購物中心的重要作用,繼續為天水圍的居民提供服務。與重建相比,建議的改建方案將大幅減少產生建築廢物、污染物和能源消耗,更具可持續性。
事實上,長實早年曾向城規會提出重建項目作住宅發展,當年申請重建成兩幢樓高53層的分層住宅,合共提供5000個住宅單位,平均每個單位面積約300方呎,並於2020年12月獲城規會批准重建。是次改建方案對比2020年獲批重建的5000伙,大幅減少3898伙或約78%。事實上,不少發展商會將項目申請多個規劃,以增加項目發展的靈活性。
由爪哇控股持有的香港銅鑼灣皇冠假日酒店,新近向城規會申請重建1幢樓高28層的商廈,涉及可建總樓面逾16萬方呎。最新亦獲規劃署不反對,料今日城規會審議時會通過。
皇冠假日酒店申重建今審議
據城規會文件顯示,上述項目位於銅鑼灣禮頓道8號,目前屬「住宅 (甲類)」地帶,申請改劃為擬議辦公室、商店及服務行業及食肆發展。上述項目地盤面積約10725方呎,以地積比率約15倍發展,以重建為一幢樓高28層,包括3層地庫的商廈,涉及可建總樓面約16.09萬方呎商業樓面;擬議發展項目5樓至23樓為寫字樓樓層,而地下至5樓將提供38750方呎作「商店及服務行業」或「食肆」用途,以支援銅鑼灣購物娛樂中心,另外亦提供76個停車位。
申請人曾指,申請地點位置交通方便,非常適合用作商業用途,及與周邊土地用途產生協同效應並帶來整體利益,而且不會改變現時當區混合用途的特性。而且商鋪、食肆與辦公室共同坐落於申請地點,不會造成不協調和安全問題。擬議的零售樓面可與現時銅鑼灣旅遊購物熱點互相補充。重建現時的商用大廈並不會減少未來房屋供應。

長實酒店項目連環改建住宅
近年不少財團積極將旗下酒店項目申請改劃住宅發展,據本報統計,單計長實已有3個酒店項目申請或獲批改劃住宅發展,合共涉及3363伙住宅單位;其中,該公司上周就旗下紅磡海韻軒海景酒店向城規會申請全幢改裝,以提供約1503個住宅單位及約442個酒店房間,當中酒店房間數目較現時大減約78%。
據城規會文件顯示,海韻軒海景酒店位於紅磡紅樂道12號,目前屬「商業 (3)」地帶,申請擬議分層住宅及准許的酒店、商店及服務行業和食肆用途並略為放寬私家車/貨車公眾停車場的總樓面面積。
約442個酒店房
地盤面積約106994方呎,住宅部分總樓面約802090方呎,非住宅樓面約401756方呎。擬議發展將現時的海韻軒酒店改建成約1503個住宅單位及約442個酒店房間,當中酒店房間數目對比現時的1980個,大幅減少1538個或約78%。
現時該酒店共有3幢物業,是次改建住宅分布於第1座及第2座,而第3座則作酒店用途。據發展計畫,在較低樓層則設有零售和餐飲設施。在優化地下至二樓的空間布局以容納所需的內部運輸設施、住宅和酒店大堂、機電設施等,擬議發展能提供一個約149135方呎的公眾停車場。
由於所提供的總樓面面積比核准圖規定作提供私家車/貨車公眾停車場的不少於175453方呎的總樓面面積減少約26318方呎,即減少約15%,因此需要略為放寬私家車/貨車公眾停車場的總樓面面積。
另外,長實旗下馬鞍山海澄軒海景酒店,亦於2020年向城規會改劃作住宅發展,以提供758個單位,涉及可建總樓面約48.29萬方呎,該改劃方案並於去年2月獲城規會同意。

屯門弦海商場意向價2.5億
近年民生區物業受捧,有發展商趁勢放售旗下非核心物業,莊士中國旗下屯門弦海商場放售,物業市值約2.5億。
弦海商場位於屯門業旺路101號,於2020年落成,建築面積約24950方呎,平均呎價約1萬,配備連商業車位及廣告牌,樓底特高最高約5.12米,適合各類租戶及用家。該物業坐落民生地段,鄰近未來屯門南延綫第16區站,毗鄰屯門河,享開揚河景。
有外資代理行代理表示,今年初,政府就屯門南延綫展開前期工作,預計明年動工,項目通車後,新設鐵路站與物業將近在咫尺,乘搭屯馬綫可直達即將興建的洪水橋站。
另一代理表示,紅磡馬頭圍道37至39號紅磡商業中心1及2樓 (前身為戲院) 與2樓V9號鋪,總建築面積共約23489方呎,意向價1.7億,平均呎價約7237元。
紅磡商中巨鋪意向1.7億
該代理表示,美國連番加息,全球金融市場亦被波及,股市首當其衝持續下跌,由高位急速回落,買磚頭保值自然是較穩健及長綫投資策略,上述物業由一家護老院承租,簽下10年長租約,買家即買即可享穩定回報,是逆市投資選擇。

Buyers await policy address amid price cuts
Home buyers in Hong Kong remained
in wait-and-see mode ahead of Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu's policy
address this Wednesday but the number of secondary deals rose, with
sellers slashing prices by as much as 21 percent.
A property agency recorded 12 deals at 10 major estates over the weekend, twice the number of the previous week.
The
company said that as many new projects were waiting policy address
announcements before launching sales, buyers returned to the secondary
market, which was also stimulated by further price cuts.
Another
property agency meanwhile recorded nine deals at 10 major estates, up
by four deals, but five of the estates recorded no deals.
After
several discounts, a flat at Metro City phase three sold for HK$6.3
million, down by 21 percent from the asking price of HK$8 million in
June.
Another flat in
Metro City phase one sold for HK$5.82 million after a nearly HK$1
million discount, compared to the asking price of HK$6.8 million in
June.
And a flat in City
One Shatin with an area of 304 square feet sold for HK$4.8 million,
down by 5.9 percent from the asking price of HK$5.1 million in early
October.
In other news,
the Urban Renewal Authority is looking at adopting advanced land grant
applications for major redevelopment projects in the future, so
developers can start construction on cleared land if there are only a
few occupants in some old buildings.
The
benefits of the advanced land grant application is that the URA and
developers can adjust construction arrangements according to the
clearance progress, including protection measures for the units and
buildings still occupied, allowing construction to start earlier and
shortening the waiting time.
The URA streamlined the redevelopment process of the Shing Tak Street project by piloting an advanced land grant application.
The
authority is now in discussions with the Lands Department to speed up
the land grant process for the project so that the relevant land grant
documents can be obtained earlier for tender, with a view to commencing
the project with developers in 2023 at the earliest.

Hong Kong long-stay landlords battle desperate hotels for finite guests as former quarantine rooms flood market
Hotels
slash rates to fill their rooms now that quarantine stays are gone,
luring guests from serviced apartments and the leasing market
Only
a reopening of the border with the mainland and a ‘0+0’ policy will
fill up hotel rooms and restore normal conditions, insiders say
Hong
Kong’s serviced-apartment operators are taking friendly fire from an
unlikely competitor, as hotels that have lost their quarantine income
slash prices to fill empty rooms after local authorities relaxed their
isolation rules for inbound travellers.
The
former quarantine hotels are hurting for guests because few business
travellers and tourists have returned, leaving the market flooded with
vacant rooms, said Derek Sun Wei-kong, managing director of Signature
Homes.
“Hotels,
when they are not full, tend to lower the price and attract long-stay
guests,” he said. “And that’s basically taking market share from
serviced apartments and residential.”
Signature
Homes is the residential leasing arm of Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP),
Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value. It manages more than 2,000
units.
“If
you just go to any hotel, they are bound to have some long-staying
guests,” Sun said. “Hotels tend to give out quite a significant discount
for those 14-day stay packages.” Guests can also renew multiple times,
he added.
SHKP’s
leasing portfolio has units costing from about HK$20,000 (US$2,830) a
month for a studio of 400 sq ft in Tseung Kwan O to about HK$500,000 for
a 5,000 sq ft unit in The Peak or Island South.
By
contrast, Regal Hongkong Hotel in Causeway Bay is offering a long-stay
package of 30 nights in a standard room for only HK$14,900 until
December 31, according to its website.
The
government engaged some 26,000 hotel rooms – about 29 per cent of Hong
Kong’s total inventory – up until September 26 when hotel quarantines
were scrapped.
“Suddenly,
they have no need of it,” he told the Post in an interview. “So the
26,000 rooms kind of flooded the market immediately.”
With
no reopening of the border with mainland China in sight, 85 per cent of
the previous mainland China market is non-existent, said William Cheng
Kai-ming, chairman of Magnificent Hotel Investments.
The
current 0+3 policy, which requires incoming visitors to monitor their
health status for three days and take frequent tests, is deterring
leisure visitors, while corporate and special event visitors contribute
only a small amount of bookings, Cheng said. Staycation bookings have
also diminished because locals are back to earmarking their travel
budgets for overseas trips, he added.
“Even
with the introduction of a ‘0+0’ policy, which is not expected any time
soon, bookings or occupancies may only improve by 15 or 20 per cent, as
that is how much the non-mainland Chinese market used to contribute,”
Cheng said. “Unless the mainland Chinese border reopens completely,
there are not going to be any meaningful bookings, and most hotels will
be operating at heavy losses.”
Many may close down before year’s end, Cheng said.
Only
the introduction of a 0+0 policy will bring short-term travellers to
Hong Kong and fill the hotels, which would send long-stay guests back to
serviced apartments, Sun said.
Signature
Homes expects to add 1,000 more units, or 500,000 sq ft to its
portfolio by the end of 2023, boosting the total to about 3 million sq
ft, Sun said. These additions include a hotel, which he declined to
name, that may be turned into serviced apartments and a new development
in Cheung Sha Wan.
Another
developer, CK Asset, early this month filed an application with the
Town Planning Board to convert its Harbourview Horizon Suites in Hung
Hom from a hotel to a mix of residential and hotel units.
Signature
Homes has spent “hundreds of millions” since March 2021 on renovating
flats at Dynasty Court in Mid-Levels. The first batch of 34 units has
been fully leased.
Residential
leasing landlords have seen the proportion of mainland and local
tenants rise from 25 per cent in 2018 to 40 per cent now, with the rest
being foreign tenants. They foresee that proportion staying as it is for
a while.
For
serviced apartments, the proportion of mainland and local tenants is
about 30 per cent to 40 per cent. But local tenants make up half of the
total at some properties.
Rents in Hong Kong have dropped by 5 to 10 per cent since 2018 amid the 2019 social unrest and Covid-19, Sun said.

嘉湖海逸酒店 獲批改住宅涉1102伙
北部都會區發展加速,城規會昨日批出長實 (01113) 位於天水圍的嘉湖海逸酒店改裝成住宅的申請,有望在短中期內帶來約1,102伙供應。
嘉湖海逸酒店在2000年開幕,至今約22年,由兩座酒店及基座的「+wo嘉湖」商場組成,長實在2020年底曾經獲城規會批准重建成為摩天住宅大廈,提供5,000伙,到今年中再以能夠提供短期供應為由,再提交改裝方案,大致是將每間酒店房間改裝成一個分層住宅單位。
該申請昨日獲得城規會的有條件批准,相信包括交通影響評估、渠務、消防等一般程序。早前地政處亦曾提醒,受項目地契所限,有機會需要進行契約修訂及補地價。
由於今次長實採用「改裝」方式,只要補地價過程順利相信項目涉及的1,102伙,很快可以推出市場。
栢麗大道准作食肆商舖
另外,尖沙咀栢麗購物大道的業主立案法團早前向城規會申請,放寬容許作為食肆及商舖之用,亦獲得城規會批准,不過由於該申請列明比例不超過一半,亦涉及地契問題,即使申請獲批後,個別商舖業主仍然向地政總署申請豁免書。
至於由爪哇 (00251) 持有的銅鑼灣皇冠假日酒店,亦獲准重建1幢樓高28層的商廈,總樓面逾16萬平方呎。
另已服務20年的九巴大埔車廠,最新向城規會申請放寬建築物高度限制,以重建1幢樓高4層的巴士廠,總樓面約56.37萬平方呎,日後提供443個巴士停車位。

Hong Kong property stocks regain favour as investors and developers bank on John Lee’s policy tailwinds
Shares of home builders jumped in a broadly bullish market as investors bet on policy support to stem market slump
The
industry’s powerful lobby this week urged removal of old measures that
have outlasted their purposes in a different market cycle
Hong Kong’s biggest developers surged in the biggest stock market rally in more than a week, on growing speculation the city will roll back market-cooling measures during a policy address later this month to support the industry.
Shares
of Sun Hung Kai Properties, the biggest by market capitalisation,
jumped as much as 6.5 per cent, before closing 0.7 per cent higher at
HK$91.25 on Friday. Henderson Land Development rose 0.7 per cent to
HK$21.90. The Hang Seng Properties sub-index rose 0.7 per cent, paring
about half of its earlier advance.
Prices
rose in tandem with broadly bullish trading as the city’s benchmark
Hang Seng Index climbed 1.2 per cent to snap a six-day losing run. The
gauge has slumped by almost 29 per cent this year to the lowest level in
11 years, contributing to a US$1.6 trillion market-wide erosion in
equity wealth.
Friday’s
rebound was preceded by a call earlier this week by the Real Estate
Developers Association (Reda), the industry’s powerful lobby, for
measures to help shore up prices and prevent so-called “negative equity”
cases, or home values sliding below mortgages. Hong Kong’s Chief
Executive John Lee Ka-chiu is due to deliver his Policy Address on
October 19.
Home
prices in Hong Kong fell 2.3 per cent in August to their lowest level
in 3.5 years, after taking successive blows from the social unrest in
2019, the impacts of Covid-19 pandemic curbs and a surge in interest
rates this year at home and abroad. Goldman Sachs forecast home prices
to fall by 15 per cent in 2022 and a further 15 per cent in 2023.
“If
the cooling measures remain amid the backdrop of the global economic
downturn and political turmoil, we will see a sharper price correction
and rising cases of owners in negative equity,” a property agent said.
“It is high time to consider removing the stamp duties.”
Reda
this week urged the city to remove punitive taxes, a holdover from
previous administrations to douse speculative purchases and keep homes
affordable.
Lee
could adopt measures including removing the 15 per cent stamp duty that
non-resident buyers must pay on their purchases, Bloomberg reported on
Thursday, citing people it did not identify. Scrapping that levy could
support home prices, according to CGS-CIMB Securities.
“The
move would not be a surprise to us,” said Raymond Cheng, property
analyst in Hong Kong at CGS-CIMB. “It is a way to attract more talent,
especially from mainland China.”
The
action may be needed because of a “faster-than-expected rise in Hibor,
and hence mortgage rates,” the brokerage said in a report, referring to
the Hong Kong interbank offered rates. Higher borrowing costs will
continue to erode affordability, [and] keep investors away “unless macro
or policy becomes more supportive,” it added.

安達臣商業地招標
受疫情影響,本港商業氣氛不景,政府推售商業用地步伐未見放緩,地政總署昨公布推出觀塘安達臣道商業地招標,該項目可建總樓面約11.03萬方呎,綜合市場估值約5.5億至6.1億,每方呎估值約5000至5500元。
上述用地位於觀塘安達臣道對出 (測量約份第3約地段第1077號),指定作非工業 (不包括住宅、辦公室、酒店、倉庫及加油站) 用途,將於下周五 (21日) 開始招標,11月18日截標。
市場估值約5.5億至6.1億
該項目由兩個「大細不一」的地盤組成,其中較大的一幅位於安健道,而較細的一幅則位於安禧街。地盤面積合共5.7萬方呎,涉及可建總樓面約11.03萬方呎,發展規模故早前批出的同區另一幅商業地皮細約20%。綜合市場估值約5.5億至6.1億,每方呎估值約5000至5000元。
可建總樓面約11萬呎
業內人士指,安達臣道新發展區,地盤鄰近用地大部分正進行平整及其他前期工程,基建配套尚未充分落實,而且安達臣道一帶主要作公營及資助房屋發展,另有學校和社區設施,上述項目可發展為區內的主要的商業設施,可提供商店,餐飲及娛樂樓面,服務區內居民。由於項目發展規模小,涉及投資額不多,不排除最終由同一發展商奪標,以發揮協同效應,爭取較高的租金回報。
今年8月該區亦批出一幅商業地為安達臣道對出 (測量約份第3約地段1078號),由領展以7.66億奪得,當時每方呎樓面地價約5501元。該項目地盤面積約6.3萬方呎,指定作非工業,不包括住宅、辦公室、酒店、倉庫及加油站用途,可建總樓面約13.9萬方呎。
資料顯示,該區僅批出兩幅賣地表住宅地,對上一幅為2022年5月由長實以49.51億奪得的首置盤地皮,當時每方呎樓面地價約4546元;而首幅住宅地為2018年初華懋以31.128億奪得安達臣道對出 (測量約份第3約地段第1068號) 用地,每方呎樓面地價12003元;其後,政府增加房屋供應,將區內6幅私樓用地撥作公營房屋,令區內發展規模大變天,並以公營房屋主導。

栢麗大道改咖啡茶座等獲城規批准
本港商業氣氛不景氣,不少商業項目亦轉型發展;尖沙嘴栢麗購物大道將「大變身」,該項目今年中向城規會申請改劃作自助餐廳、咖啡室及茶室等,並增加趣味點及「打卡位」添加活力,打造「港版」巴黎香榭麗舍大道;日前項目獲規劃署不反對,城規會昨議審時獲「開綠燈」,在有附帶條件下批准。
上述申請由栢麗購物大道業主立案法團提出,將栢麗購物大道地下及一樓改作食肆、商店及服務行業用途,而計畫建議「食肆」用途設置不超過50%總樓面面積限制。申請人曾指,栢麗購物大道為構成香港歷史和特色重要的一部分,尤其是它所代表的香港經濟繁榮的形象。
增加趣味點及「打卡位」
因應近年來本港社會經濟環境的範式轉移,特別是尖沙嘴區的經濟環境轉變及旅遊購物者的減少,導致店鋪關閉及城市活力下降,建議從城規方面取得一些彈性,以便日後將一些現有的零售商店轉變為更多樣化、更具特色的其他商業用途,旨為這購物大道重新注入城市生活。
面對近年急速的社會經濟變化,擬議的用途對於增加當地經濟的靈活性和韌力有着關鍵作用。憑藉多樣化的商業活動,計畫為彌敦道最寬闊的一段提升公共空間的趣味性,為公眾和遊客塑造一個有趣的公共空間,供本地居民及遊客享用,通過增加趣味點及「打卡位」以應對社會經濟和市場的變化。
規劃署認為,是次改劃沒有增加額外的面積,其上方的屋頂花園也不會受影響,周邊樹木、景觀不會受影響;而且作多元化發展,在土地運用上沒有與周邊環境不相符,署方認為可為栢麗購物大道增添活力。
整個栢麗購物大道項目,涉及3幢物業,地盤面積約5.82萬方呎,現有總樓面約8.22萬方呎。

星企45萬租中環陸海通大廈 首度落戶香港 每呎80元回到2011年
中環核心商業區租金向下,吸引不少機構回流,甚至持續有外資租用寫字樓。在新加坡設立的數字資產金融服務公司Antalpha首度在港租用寫字樓單位,以每月45萬元租用中環陸海通大廈 (LHT Tower) 低層全層作為本港辦事處,呎租80元,較高位下跌36%,重返該廈2011年入伙時的水平。
市場消息指出,中環皇后大道中31號陸海通大廈9樓全層,面積約5611方呎,最新以每月45萬元租出,呎租約80元,租期3年。
較4年前高位滑落超過三成
資料顯示,陸海通大廈重建後於2011年入伙,當時呎租約80元起,其後在2018年呎租最高曾攀至125元,現時最新呎租較高位大挫36%,並重返11年前該廈入伙的水平。
據了解,是次承租陸海通大廈9樓全層的租戶,是從事數字資產金融服務的公司 Antalpha。Antalpha 在去年成立,總部位於新加坡,是虛擬貨幣礦機製造商比特大陸 (Bitmain) 的戰略合作夥伴,今次首度在港承租寫字樓作為辦事處。
事實上,近期都有海外公司來港承租中環核心區寫字樓,如在新加坡成立的共享辦公室營運商 The Great Room 租用中環長江集團中心45樓全層,作為該公司在香港第二個據點,該層可租用面積約21334方呎,估計月租約320萬元,呎租約150元,較2018年呎租212元回落近三成。
長江集團中心45樓原由虛擬貨幣衍生產品交易所 BitMEX 租用,據知 The Great Room 進駐上址後,BitMEX 將會向該共享辦公室營運商租用部分辦公室及辦公桌,繼續在該層營運。
此外,亦有公司在租金出現明顯跌幅下,把辦公室從九龍搬到港島區。市場人士透露,現時租用觀塘宏利金融中心高層單位的緯邇拓稅務諮詢 (Vialto Partners),預租銅鑼灣利園二期25樓1室,租用面積約9660方呎,月租約56萬元,呎租約58元。
據資料顥示,利園二期在2019年時,呎租一度高見80元,目前租金已大幅下調27.5%,吸引部分機構從外區搬遷。
會財局156萬預租太古坊二座
另邊廂,會計及財務匯報局 (會財局) 亦預租稍後入伙的鰂魚涌太古坊二座一層半樓面,涉及租用面積約31100方呎,以市值呎租約50元計,月租達155.5萬元,將由灣仔合和中心遷至該廈。日本三井住友銀行則租用太古坊二座兩層共41200方呎,月租約206萬元。
有外資代理行發表的報告顯示,第三季香港甲級寫字樓租賃市場錄得約18.3萬方呎的淨吸納量。惟本港的經濟表現和商業氣氛轉壞,第三季甲級寫字樓整體租金較第二季下跌2.3%,年初至今累挫4%。

甲廈買賣靜 售價9月跌0.9%
踏入今年第三季,受疫情及未放寬的防疫措施影響,加上營商情緒轉趨低迷,寫字樓市場表現仍然疲弱。有本地代理行發表的商廈市場報告指出,商廈成交量持續於低位徘徊,其中50大甲廈上月僅錄4宗買賣,較8月份的2宗稍微上升。
報告指出,受經濟增長放緩、內地及國際企業需求降溫等因素影響,寫字樓租金走勢持續向下,甲廈租金按月跌0.5%,今年以來累積挫5.5%。整體甲廈售價亦錄得輕微跌幅,按月回落0.9%,今年以來累積跌4.2%。
商廈空置率10% 1年新高
面對多重利淡因素,連同市場上大批商廈新供應,潛在投資者或租戶承租商廈取態審慎,商廈空置率維持高企,最新見10%,創近一年新高。當中東九龍空置率更升至16.2%,創2020年6月有紀錄以來新高。
報告又指出,上月連續錄4宗過億元成交。最矚目的商廈買賣為輾轉放售多時的九龍灣高銀金融國際中心全幢,成交價約65億元,平均呎價7,625元,暫為今年以來最大額工商物業成交。大買賣亦包括新世界 (00017) 沽售長沙灣永康街商廈項目逾51%業權,作價近31億元。
該行代理表示,雖然政府已推出「0+3」入境政策,但預計該措施在短期內未能明顯帶動物業市場。除非政府能夠推出邁向全面通關的具體詳情及利好政策,否則商廈市場將繼續受壓,復甦之路依然漫長。他估計投資者及企業對承租甲級寫字樓保持觀望態度,未來交易傾向以細面積及低呎價為主。若能進一步放寬入境及防疫政策,料能促進企業來港進行商業活動,重新帶動寫字樓需求。

加息影響 第三季投資市場未見活躍
受加息影響,整體投資物業市場表現未見活躍,而成交數字主要倚靠數宗數十億元大額買賣支撑。
有外資代理行數據顯示,2022年第三季度的投資氣氛繼續受美聯儲加息影響,僅錄得26宗大手交易。盡管市場出現一些大額成交及更多接管資產,但整體成交宗數仍按季跌16%,按年則跌49%。
大額買賣金額上,主要因市場錄得數字巨額成交,其中九龍灣高銀金融國際中心全幢,以約70億元易手。此外,新世界出售長沙灣永康街商廈項目51%業權,涉資30.788億元,總樓面約274,547平方呎的,新買家為新加坡基金Ares SSG。
至於市場上最大額買賣,為長實旗下 21 BORRETT ROAD,獲新加坡基金以約208億元購入。
該行指,市場對凍倉及數據中心的需求殷切,令工業物業於2022年成為投資者的寵兒,但第三季度亦僅錄得26億元的總成交價,按季下挫73%。
檢疫措施放寬 商舖更具吸引力
另一外資代理行指,第三季度商業地產投資額達按季增長5.7%至181億元 (只計算交易額超過7,700萬之物業,不包括淨地或關聯交易)。本季度僅登記了20宗交易,少於去年第二季度總數的一半。交易量與2019年第四季度至2020年第三季度的低位持平。該行指,年初至今的投資額達486億元,僅為去年全年總額的60%。
有代理認為,第三季加息初期令買賣非常淡靜,直至最近基金並重投市場,該代理指外資基金會把加息風險計算在內,故要求回報率近4厘。後市走勢上,隨着檢疫措施逐步放寬,商舖資產對投資者更具吸引力,民生商場可以提供穩定的收入來源,而當關口重開時,核心區一綫街舖則會有強勁的升值潛力。同時,工業資產將繼續備受機構投資者的青睞。
隨着市場逐漸消化加息消息,加上酒店隔離結束,此兩項因素將吸引外國投資者重新物色物業,預測2022年整體成交量按年增長15%。
至於另一代理則表示,由於加息周期開始,投資需求在第三季度減弱。雖然房地產基金的投資意慾不減,但本地投資者變得愈來愈謹慎。隨着跨境旅遊恢復,香港的營商氣氛及經濟增長前景將有所改善,但中國內地邊境長期關閉及人民幣兌美元/港元貶值,將為中國投資者需求復甦帶來挑戰。第四季投資量可能會維持普遍低位。
若果明年中國內地跨境旅遊恢復,預計2023年投資勢頭將明顯回升。該代理分析,加息將令投資者審慎,惟物業價格過去已累積一定跌幅,因此仍有基金、本地投資者趁機入市。物業類型上,他料隨着旅客陸續重臨,酒店入住率勢改善,故具投資價值。

氣氛轉弱 羅素街8號錄撻訂
近月投資氣氛轉弱,市場不時錄大額工商舖物業取消交易個案,並以商廈為主。
據資料顯示,銅鑼灣羅素街8號錄得一宗取消交易,涉及物業19樓全層,原於6月以1.1億元成交,單位面積約4,718平方呎,呎價約23,315元,上月尾相關交易已告取消。
新買家馬時亨長女 失1成訂金
翻查資料,上述物業原由港鐵前主席馬時亨長女劉馬露明於6月份購入,當時新買家登記公司為全仁健康產品有限公司 (TM WELLNESS LIMITED),劉馬露明為公司董事。據悉,新買家曾透露購入該層樓面作自用,主要售賣健康產品,是次撻訂離場,料損失約1成訂金,涉及約1,100萬元。
另外,今年初廖偉麟以約1.38億元,購入上環南和行大廈地下1號鋪,以及1、2樓兩層寫字樓,平均呎價約10,220元。據悉,相關交易近日亦宣告取消。

受惠於會展站開通,告士打道商廈交通上更便利,而海外信託銀行大廈位置理想及單位景觀佳。
告士打道為灣仔商廈集中地,交通上,由港鐵灣仔站步行至該廈約10分鐘,大廈門口亦有多條巴士綫可到達。今年中港鐵會展站通車,而大廈一大優勢,是樓下有接駁天橋,前往灣仔新鴻基中心,鄰近港鐵會展站,交通比以前更便利。
此外,物業設有多層停車場,駕車人士可從大廈謝斐道入口進入停車場。
飲食配套上,可到附近謝斐道及駱克道,有多間茶餐廳以及酒樓可供選擇,價錢上更相宜。另外,有天橋連接灣仔北新鴻基中心及華潤大廈,不僅有酒樓、特色餐飲等,並有5星級酒店,提供商務午餐。
物業於1978年落成,樓高29層,大廈設兩個入口,分別位於告士打道正門及謝斐道,均可前往物業電梯大堂,四通八達。大廈雖然樓齡略舊,早年物業進行大翻新,入口、電梯大堂等質素新,加設電子水牌,觀感勝同區乙廈,稍為不足為地下大堂有數級樓梯出門口,而大廈提供升降機亦頗為充足。
間隔四正 實用率達8成
標準樓面全層面積由6,999至7,344平方呎,該廈主要為全層用家為主,間隔頗四正,而實用率高達8成,樓底則不算高。
單位另一優點為景觀,告士打道普遍商廈景觀亦開揚,惟部分因前方物業遮擋影響景觀,物業位處單邊,未來前面亦沒有大型建築,可享優質海景。
買賣方面,過往不乏投資界名人入市,包括2007年投資者羅家寶購入最頂5層樓面,其後沽貨獲利。2015年中原地產創辦人施永青沽出物業20樓連車位,涉約1.16億元,呎價15,797元,持貨5年帳面獲利逾半億元。
2019年,物業全層單位連車位,以7,800萬易手,平均呎價1.13萬,買家為上市公司海峽石油化工控股 (00852),期後物業再未錄得買賣成交。

兩層樓面放租 意向呎租約20
灣仔告士打道商廈為傳統商業地段,現海外信託銀行大廈兩層樓面放租,意向呎租約20元。
每層月租14.7萬
有代理表示,海外信託銀行大廈低層兩層樓面現正招租,每層面積約7,344平方呎,月租每層為14.7萬元,意向呎租僅約20元,屬低市價招租。事實上,目前告士打道商廈普遍約25元以上,業主現因應市況,降低叫租。
租務成交上,物業今年錄兩宗租務,物業2002室,面積約4,090平方呎,成交呎租約26元。另物業15樓全層,面積約7,344平方呎,以每呎約22.5元租出。
同區市況方面,亞洲聯合財務中心高層,面積約5,300平方呎,近日以每呎約33元租出。另東美中心中層03至04室面積約1,240平方呎,成交呎租約26元。

鼎珮睿峰基座商場招標 估值約8億
民生區商場今年承接力不俗,鼎珮表示,標售長沙灣睿峰 (前稱恆大•睿峰) 基座3層,合共4.5萬平方呎商埸,市場估值約8億元。
鼎珮合夥人馬宣義表示,委託三間外資代理行進行招標,出售長沙灣睿峰基座商場,項目於11月18日截標。他指,物業總樓面約4.5萬平方呎,涉及30間舖位,項目剛落成。
預計每月租金收入200萬
定價方面,鼎珮董事總經理陳玉成表示,未有為項目定意向價,而商場全部租出,預計每月租金收入約200萬元。市場人士指出,項目估值約8億元。
有代理指,睿峰商場地下舖位市值呎租約100元以上,而1、2樓呎租料約30至50元。
對於樓市前景,該代理認為,近期樓價稍調整,即使美國加息,香港加息幅度仍少,而政府亦有降低壓力測試門檻。該代理並料政府會在施政報告推有利樓市措施,相信樓市已近見底,第四季可向好,而明年初市況可望完全回復正常。
去年鼎珮接手睿峰項目,該代理指已積極與所有買家溝通,大部分問題已解決,而出現有買家撻訂或未能完成交易,是新盤都會有相同情況出現。該代理表示,睿峰尚有224伙待售,預計明年初重推,若政府落實減辣措施,或放寬至「0+0」入境措施,帶動市況向好,最快可於第四季重推單位。

首3季22宗強拍申請 超去年全年近4成
宏安會德豐最積極 業界料數字彈屬追落後
強拍申請步伐加快,今年首3季土地審裁處合共接獲22份強拍申請,已超越去年全年16宗近4成,當中以宏安地產 (01243) 及會德豐地產最積極。有業內人士預計,今年的申請逐步「追落後」,估計放寬強拍門檻後,申請才顯著增加。
宏安4申請 3宗屬鴨脷洲將合併
根據本報統計,今年首3季度土地審裁處已接獲22宗強拍申請,已較去年全年接獲16宗,多出6宗或約37.5%。若以宗數計,今年首3季接獲 (已知財團背景) 的強拍申請中,宏安地產及會德豐地產最為積極,兩者分別於期內遞交4宗申請,其次為樂風集團,涉3宗,而排名第3的則為本地老牌家族永倫集團,已向土地審裁處提交2宗申請。
事實上,宏安地產今年的4宗申請中,有3宗位於南區鴨脷洲。據發展商早前透露,將會就該3個項目一併重建,以地積比率9倍計算,總樓面約6.3萬平方呎。
至於會德豐地產的申請中,則有3宗位於跑馬地黃泥涌道,發展商亦表示會將項目一併發展,並重建為豪宅。
以區域劃分,港島區申請最多,涉13宗,佔全數申請約6成,排名第2的為九龍區,佔8宗,而新界區只錄1宗申請。
如以收購項目的現況市值計,新世界 (00017) 收購的波斯富街、利園山道一帶舊樓,則為歷來銀碼最大申請。項目佔地約19,831平方呎,其現況市值為45.05億元,料重建後總樓面約29.75萬平方呎。
有測量師指,疫情下,去年宗數嚴重遍低。過往2018至2020年的申請宗數均超過30宗,故今年逐步回彈屬於「追落後」。
另一測量師認為,雖然在加息時代下,本港樓價受壓,令小業主會較容易賣出自身業權,但鑑於發展商對後市未必過於樂觀,因此未必會加快收購步伐。不過,當強拍門檻放寬,估計屆時會有一籃子現時未符合門檻的強拍申請成功通過。他又預計政府會於第四季將相關草案提交予立法會。

西貢全幢工廈意向價4.7億
鄧成波家族旗下西貢全幢工廈放售,意向價約4.7億,平均呎價約4700元,物業適合物流、冷鏈凍倉及集團自用等。
有代理表示:西貢康定路1號全幢物業,前身為四洲集團大廈,物業於1993年落成,現為樓高4層的工廈貨倉,佔地約3.07萬方呎,建築面積逾10萬方呎,另約2萬呎停車場未有計入批准面積,實際總面積達12萬呎,意向價約4.7億,平均呎價約4700元 (未計車場)。
該代理續說,該工廈樓底高度最高4.9米,樓板承重最高至30kPa,更設特大起卸區、提供7個貨櫃車車位及5個私家車車位。此類物業市場渴求,適合物流、冷鏈凍倉及集團自用等。
平均意向呎價4700元
該代理又說,西貢康定路早年獲改劃為住宅發展地帶,物業具合併發展潛力,相鄰4幢工廈正一同放售,分別位於康定路2、6、7及9號,連上述康定路1號共5幅地盤,現規劃用途為「住宅 (戊類) 1」,去年底獲城規會準准興建5幢6層高大廈,共1127個安老院舍牀位,總地盤面積約12.55萬方呎,涉總樓面約25.1萬方呎,當中安老院舍的總樓面佔約23.6萬方呎。

石門京瑞廣場高層銀主盤1337萬售
受疫情及加息陰霾所影響,市場上出現不少銀主盤,類別廣泛,據一間本地代理行統計,截至10月13日,涉及工商住鋪銀主盤有逾209個放盤,創十三年新高,同時,由於銀主盤與市價相比存有一定折讓空間,因而吸引不少用家及投資者積極尋寶。
平均呎價9300元
新近市場錄一宗銀主盤易手個案,該物業位於石門京瑞廣場二期高層戶,成交價約1337萬,平均呎價約9300元,較該廈目前平均成交呎價有約一成折讓空間。
有代理表示,石門安群街1號京瑞廣場二期高層B室,面積約1438方呎,以交吉形式交易,成交價約1337萬元,呎價僅約9300元。按目前該廈錄平均成交呎價約10049元計算,該物業價格回落約7%。
據了解,原業主於2016年以約1065.7萬元買入單位後,於今年初因業主周轉不靈而淪為銀主盤。該代理分析,石門京瑞廣場為區內商貿氣氛濃厚,向來受用家及投資者追捧,而今次因叫價吸引,故短時間內旋即獲承接。
根據該行資料顯示,該廈今年首三季暫錄6宗寫字樓買賣,對比去年同期約7宗,僅輕微回落約1宗,證明該區近年轉型發展,帶動投資前景向好,吸引用家及投資者關注,承接力不俗。張氏續指,現時京瑞廣場二期寫字樓叫價介乎每方呎約10414元至13800元。

栢麗大道鋪每呎62元租出 簽半年短約 平過沙士價
近期謀求「大變身」的尖沙嘴栢麗購物大道,最新錄一宗短租,面積約803方呎,以月租約5萬租出,平均呎租約62元,新租客為夾公仔店進駐,簽署半年短約,最新租金平過沙士價。
上址為尖沙嘴彌敦道111至181號栢麗購物大道地下68號鋪,屬該街道尾段,建築面積約803方呎,市場消息指,新租客為夾公仔店,看中未來為聖誕新年旺季,簽署半年短約,月租約5萬,平均呎租62元。
夾公仔店進駐
事實上,該鋪位過去6年間未錄長租,對上長租客則為Alex Andro男裝,月租16.5萬,早於2016年7月撤出,及後,鋪位一直錄短租,對上短租客為皮具店LAVENGI。
有代理指出,自從2014年第三季「佔中」、打擊水貨客等活動後,經濟轉差,鋪市一蹶不振,該街道表現遜色,尤其尾段陸續出現交吉鋪位,租客以短租為主,及後2019年中開始,經歷動亂以及疫市持續,現時更是吉鋪處處。
栢麗購物大道業主立案法團早前向城規會申請改劃,將街道地下及一樓改作食肆、商店及服務行業用途,計畫建議「食肆」用途設置不超過50%總樓面面積限制,並增加趣味點及「打卡位」,打造「港版」巴黎香榭麗舍大道,日前獲規劃署不反對,城規會在附帶條件下批准。
料改劃後鋪租升40%
有代理表示,當該街道改劃成功,鋪租將會增加,惟不會飆升,預期一個700多呎鋪位月租約7至8萬,平均呎租100元,事實上,尖沙嘴區鋪位呎租普遍由60元至100元不等,食肆鋪位大有選擇。該代理預期,在有限度通關下,該街道即使引進食肆,靠本地客支持,只有短時間產生新鮮感,絕不會有人山人海效果。 該代理又說,現時月租5萬屬於「跌過籠」,平過沙士價,若升至7萬,幅度逾40%,不過比較過往仍然跌一半。
馬寶道地鋪5300萬易手
市場消息透露,北角馬寶道2K號地下1及2號鋪,建築面積約1200方呎,以5300萬易手,平均呎價4.41萬,該物業樓齡約60年,原業主早於1953年持有物業,並於2008年以「送贈契」形式易手,新買家為順禧物業,盛滙商舖基金創辦人李根興表示,該鋪位門闊約28呎,鋪深約30呎,位處北角民生乾貨段,門面極闊,人流旺,惟必須留意的是乾貨行業走下坡,消費力較疫弱,現址為吉鋪,並沒有租金收入。

Home prices to fall 5pc 'even if border reopens'
Home prices in Hong Kong will still
fall 5 percent next year even if the border with the mainland reopens,
DBS Hong Kong said yesterday.
Its
forecast came as Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) rolled out a new
project ahead of today's policy address in a move rarely seen by
developers, who usually wait to see if any new polices will be revealed
in the address before launching new developments.
Residential
property prices in Hong Kong are down about 8 percent year-to-date and
11 percent from last year's peak, said Jeff Yau Cheuk-man, director of
research at DBS Hong Kong.
Mortgage
interest rates may rise to 3.5 percent next year, further affecting the
property market, and as the supply of new flats increase, prices are
expected to fall by 5 percent next year, he said.
Yau suggested the government relax property curbs to stop falling prices from hurting consumption.
He
said talent will be attracted to the city if the government relaxes
stamp duties, and the potential border opening will help stimulate
market demand, but added that even if the government relaxes stamp
duties, property prices will not necessarily rebound immediately.
Meanwhile, SHKP unveiled the first price list for Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long, offering 50 flats, with the cheapest priced at HK$3.91 million.
The
discounted average price of the flats is HK$13,088 per square foot,
which is not only the lowest starting price for new projects this year
but also 14 percent lower than the first batch of flats at Park Yoho
Napoli, which was launched in September 2018 by SHKP at an average price
of HK$15,211 per square foot after discounts.
The first batch in Park Yoho Bologna
includes 5 studios, 23 one-bedroom units, 5 two-bedroom units and 17
three-bedroom units, with areas ranging from 279 to 674 square feet.
In
other news, Longfor (0960) said it has sold 582 units in Upper
RiverBank since 2019 and there are still 85 unsold flats, which are all
four-bedroom units. The developer will sell the remaining units by
tender at an intended price of about HK$40,000 per square foot or more.

Easing of cooling measures is not a cure-all for Hong Kong’s struggling property market, say analysts
Any
relaxation of the government’s cooling measures will only slow down the
decline in homes prices but not reverse the trend, says DBS Bank
analyst Jeff Yau
Chief
Executive John Lee is expected to unveil many measures in his inaugural
Policy Address to revive Hong Kong’s struggling economy
The potential easing of cooling measures anticipated in Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu’s maiden Policy Address
will stimulate housing demand but not necessarily lead to a quick
rebound in prices because of the prevailing headwinds, according to
analysts.
Lee
is expected to announce several groundbreaking measures in his address
on Wednesday, aimed at reviving the city’s battered economy. Property
developers and agents have been lobbying the government to scrap legacy
stamp duties.
Analysts
have not ruled out the possibility of the government relaxing some of
its measures to cool the property market in the event of a sharp
correction. However, its impact on steadying prices will be felt
gradually, they added.
“After
the relaxation, it does not mean the housing market will rebound
tomorrow,” said Jeff Yau, group research executive director at DBS Bank
(Hong Kong). “I believe the extent of the decline will slow down.”
If the cooling measures are dropped, the price decline may slow down but the trend will not be immediately reversed, he added.
The
government introduced a series of extra stamp duties and taxes on
residential property transactions since 2010 to curb non-local and
speculative housing demand. The first was the Special Stamp Duty (SSD)
in November 2010 to curb speculation, followed by the Buyer’s Stamp Duty
(BSD) in October 2012 to suppress demand from non-local buyers. A year
later the Double Stamp Duty (DSD) was introduced, which is applicable to
multiple property owners. Pressure has now mounted on these taxes as
the city faces economic headwinds.
“BSD, SSD and DSD, do they need to exist at this moment?” Yau asked.
He
also said he expected Hong Kong home prices to fall 5 per cent next
year, joining analysts from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, and
property agencies who have made similar forecasts.
Goldman’s predictions have been the most dire. It expects home prices to plummet by 30 per cent by the end of 2023, as sharply increasing interest rates continue to pressure affordability and repel investors from the market.
“I
don’t think [prices] will immediately rebound sharply if [cooling
measures] are withdrawn,” said Chong Tai-leung, associate professor at
the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Chong said the extra stamp duty made homeowners hesitant when deciding to sell and failed to tame the growth in home prices.
“I
don’t think that these cooling measures have been effective,” said
Chong. “It hinders the normal operation of the property market … so I
have always recommended scrapping them.”
Chong
said transaction volume has shrunk dramatically after the imposition of
cooling measures, dampening the livelihood of many property agents and
market players.
Chong
expects transactions to improve if cooling measures are scrapped. “The
entire industry chain, be it transactions or renovations, will pick up.
The whole economy will recover.”
He said this requires a Chief Executive bold enough to scrap the cooling measures.
“The
cooling measures were demand management measures introduced 10 years
ago,” said Victor Lui Ting, deputy managing director at Sun Hung Kai
Properties (SHKP). “The amount of stamp duty levied by the government in
the past few years is not large. I believe the government will make
adjustments balancing various parties’ views.”
Partial relaxation of the cooling measures would show that the government is adapting to the needs of the times, he added.
SHKP, Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value, priced the first batch of 50 flats at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long at HK$13,088 per square foot after discounts on Tuesday.
The price is 26.9 per cent lower than the HK$17,898 per square foot for the second phase of Grand Mayfair launched in May, according to data from a local property agency.

瑞銀提早兩年續租國際金融中心二期 料每呎僅130元 降價近三成
國際財富管理機構瑞銀 (UBS) 上周公布,提早近4年向新地 (00016) 預租尖沙咀廣深港高鐵香港段西九龍總站上蓋 (下稱高鐵上蓋項目) 9層寫字樓約25萬方呎樓面,作為新總部。不過,瑞銀現時位於中環國際金融中心二期共14萬方呎樓面,仍提早近兩年續租,料涉及月租約1820萬元,租金下跌近三成,租約至2029年,意味瑞銀不會短期內撤出中環。
合約至2029年 延遲撤出中環
瑞銀現時的香港總部位於國際金融中心二期,租用45樓半層、47至52樓全層,合共6層半,總租用面積共約14萬方呎,租期至2024年。瑞銀上周才公布,將進駐高鐵上蓋項目最高一座大樓的最頂9層,總樓面面積約25萬方呎,其在香港的營運辦公室會遷入新大樓,在2026年初開始進駐,提早近4年預租,令市場相信瑞銀稍後將會撤出中環。
不過,瑞銀在租用新寫字樓的同時,已為目前中環總部作中長線部署,提早近兩年續租國際金融中心二期的6層半樓面,租期由2024年7月至2029年6月,即瑞銀進駐高鐵上蓋項目後,仍有一段時間會在中環維持辦公地點。市場估計,國際金融中心二期的最新呎租約130元,估計上述續租樓面涉及月租約1820萬元。
翻查資料,瑞銀是國際金融中心二期2004年大廈入伙時首批進駐的租戶之一,更是當時最大手的租戶,向港鐵 (00066) 租用14.6萬方呎樓面,租期長達10年。由於當時香港經歷完沙士疫情,商廈租金陷入谷底,據知首批租戶的租金甚為「優惠」,料呎租只約30元 (扣除免租期等條款,呎租或低至不足20元)。
瑞銀一直將總部設於國際金融中心二期,更在2013年續租,增租至9層樓面合共20.5萬方呎,續租呎租已飆升2.5倍至約106元。其後由於全球經濟增長放緩,一直有傳瑞銀會退租部分樓面,最終在2018年時只落實續租其中45樓半層、46至52樓共7層半,涉約16.5萬方呎樓面,呎租調高到185元,租期至2024年。但受到新冠肺炎疫情影響,瑞銀去年提早3年棄租46樓全層,令租用規模減至約14萬方呎。以瑞銀最新續租的呎租計,較2018年的185元,下跌29.7%。
預租高鐵上蓋未必準時交付
有業內人士認為,雖然瑞銀已預租新寫字樓,但該物業始終仍在建築階段,有許多不確定性因素,如未必能準時交付或裝修有延誤等,故瑞銀仍續租中環國際金融中心二期,令日後搬遷時更具彈性。同時,目前商廈租賃市道低迷,提早續租可以鎖定一個較低的租金水平。
資料顯示,瑞銀除國際金融中心二期外,還有租用上環李寶椿大廈和無限極廣場,以及尖沙咀北京道一號共4幢商廈合共超過20層作為辦公室,總樓面約29萬方呎,部分租約在明年起逐步到期。

黃竹坑9項目陸續登場 成新商貿區
今、明兩年黃竹坑區將有不少新建商廈落成,包括今年中入伙的商廈 Landmark South,以及明年入伙的商廈 S22 等,區內未來幾年將陸續有9個商業項目推出,涉及逾200萬平方呎商業樓面,逐漸轉型成為商貿區。
黃竹坑早年屬於工業區,早在60年代開始發展興建了大量工業大廈,並且以輕工業為主,後來政府改劃成為商貿區,本身將推動配合鄰近的海洋公園發展酒店業,不過隨着港鐵南港島綫通車,加強跟金鐘的交通接駁,發展商由酒店轉為興建商廈,近年已經陸續轉型。
增206萬呎樓面 8成建商廈
目前區內至少有9個商業項目,合共涉及逾206萬平方呎樓面,當中8個屬於辦公室項目,餘下一個則為港鐵 (00066) 旗下黃竹坑站港島南岸的上蓋商場THE SOUTHSIDE。
最早登場相信是信置 (00083) 夥拍帝國集團合作的Landmark South,於2016年以約25.3億元,投得業勤街商貿地,並且建成樓高28層商廈,總樓面面積約28.5萬平方呎,包括16層甲廈、3層零售空間及藝術展覽廳,另提供佔地約9,000平方呎空中花園,最頂兩層29及30樓,享特高樓底。
Landmark South 單位面積約1,497至約1.4萬平方呎,每平方呎租金約30餘元,當中藝術發展局將於此開設一個約5,000平方呎的多用途藝術展覽空間。
THE SOUTHSIDE預租3成樓面
另外,明年亦有更多商業項目登場,當中同由帝國集團發展的香葉道22號商廈早前命名為「S22」,項目樓高28層,總樓面面積達16.35萬平方呎,每層面積約7,600呎。
而港鐵旗下黃竹坑站港島南岸上蓋商場THE SOUTHSIDE,亦於明年開幕,項目總樓面面積近51萬平方呎,設有5層商舖樓層,有約150間商戶,提供約235個停車場車位,屬於區內最大商場之一,招租工作亦進行中,預租樓面已超過30%。
同時,會德豐地產在今年5月申請強拍黃竹坑道合隆工業大廈,項目佔地約7,830平方呎,若果以地積比率15倍重建,可建樓面約11.74萬平方呎。

廠家續購保濟工廈樓面
該兩個單位為高層1及2室,合共面積約1,155平方呎,原業主分別於2018年及2020年約739.8萬及約700萬元購入,早前以合共約1,600萬元沽出,平均呎價約1.39萬元,屬於理想呎價,是次轉手帳面賺160萬元。
至於工廈方面,隨着樓價下跌,吸引本港廠家增持區內物業。已有過百年歷史的「保心安藥廠」今年初以近1.22億元購入黃竹坑道28號保濟工業大廈5樓及11樓兩層物業,呎價約8,820元,目前至少持有該廈6層樓面,對上一次是於2013年以約5,500萬元購入14樓全層。原業主於1985至1998年間入市,合共作價約484萬元,現帳面勁賺約1.17億元,賺幅24倍。

沙田「蚊型」住宅地中標價高次標3.9%
上月底永泰地產夥拍萬科海外以7.8638億力壓16個財團、投得的沙田顯和里「蚊型」住宅地皮,地政總署昨日以不具名方式,公布其餘16份落選標價,出價介乎2.64億至7.56575億,樓面呎價約2955至8469元;而中標價較次標僅高出約3.9%,屬險勝而回。
沙田顯和里「蚊型」地於上月底共收到17份標書,由永泰地產夥拍萬科海外以7.8638億力壓16個財團奪地,每方呎樓面地價約8802元,當時屬貼近市場上限價,地政總署以不具名方式,公布其餘16份落選標價,從標價可見,首3標出價相當接近,介乎7.03億至7.56575億,每方呎樓面地價約7869至8469元。
次標出價約7.56575億,與中標價相差約2980.5萬,每方呎樓面地價約8469元,首標較次標僅高約3.9%,可見競爭十分激烈。緊隨其後的投標價為7.17億,相差約6938萬,首標較高約8.8%,每方呎樓面地價約8026元。
最低出價僅2.64億
值得留意的是,有財團以「執雞」心態超低價入標,有2標出價不足3億,最低標出價僅約2.64億,與中標價相差約5.2238億,差幅達約66.4%,樓面呎價僅約2955元。除中標的永泰地產及萬科海外,其餘入標發展商包括長實、新地、信和、嘉華、佳明、鷹君、香港興業、遠東發展、漢國置業、英皇、中信泰富、中國海外等,而百利保夥拍富豪酒店入標,宏安則夥拍其士以合資方式參與競投。
沙田顯和里地皮,毗鄰顯徑鄰里社區中心,東面為田心消防局,北面為居屋雲疊花園,位於港鐵大圍及顯徑站之間。項目地盤面積約14890方呎,可作純住宅或商住形式發展,以純住宅發展涉及可建樓面約89339方呎,是今季賣地表中最細的住宅地。

旺角商住地改劃地建會支持
城規會早前就《旺角分區計畫大綱核准圖》提出修訂建議,放寬區內多個商業及住宅地帶的發展限制,包括將區內商業用地的地積比率由12倍上調至15倍,同時放寬建築物高限至115米等。有關修訂於諮詢期收到5份申述,其中香港地產建設商會表態支持,惟香港規劃師學會及保育人士均表示反對修訂。
規劃師學會:導致交通擠塞
地建會認為,原有大綱圖對區內地盤施加限制,而是修訂為私人發展商提供足夠誘因,並鼓勵參與更多社區重建項目,而且修訂對城市設計及規劃有利,故對有關修訂表示支持。
香港規劃師學會則指出,有關放寬地積比率及高度限制修訂,不符合《香港2030+:跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》的框架,由於大增商業用地發展密度後,將會導致該區交通擠塞、人流過多等問題。
是次修訂,主要包括刪除對商業地帶的12倍地積比率限制,在建築物條件許可下地積比率增至15倍。並將界限街與太子道西之間,及旺角道與亞皆老街之間鄰近港鐵站的「商業」地帶,建築物高度限制由130米
(主水平基上.下同),增加至160米;並把彌敦道兩旁其餘的「商業」地帶的建築物高限由110米提高至140米。
把2幅太子道西、洗衣街、花墟道及園圃街的用地和西洋菜南街、登打士街、花園街及水渠道之間的用地由「住宅
(甲類)」地帶,建議改劃為「其他指定用途」註明「混合用途」地帶,放寬目前只有最低3層商業用途的限制,允許更高的設計靈活性,而且建築物高度限制亦增加15米至115米。另外,該區的住宅地亦有相應調整,修訂「住宅
(甲類)、(戍類)」地帶的「備註」,「住宅 (甲類)」及「住宅 (甲類) 3」的最新地積比率由7.5倍,增加至最新的8.5倍,以及納入「住宅
(甲類) 4」。而且建築物高限由100米,上調至115米。

Luxury homes on sale as prices head south
A luxury project on Plantation Road
at the Peak was launched after the policy address but the developer
decided to sell instead of leasing it, as more price cuts were seen in
the secondary market and the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong
Kong said it is disappointed by the address.
The
seller, Fortune Hill Development, put four three-storyed houses for
sale, each of which has a gross floor area of over 4,000 square feet and
is equipped with a private swimming pool and a garden.
Completed 15 years ago, the units were on lease. One of them was let-out for monthly rent of HK$380,000 or HK$90 per sq ft.
Meanwhile,
chairman of Reda executive committee and Wheelock Properties Stewart
Leung Chi-kin said he is disappointed that the government has no plan to
remove the existing stamp duties aiming to avoid local home prices to
surge.
Leung added that
the relaxed stamp duties will have limited impact on the sluggish
property market, after the prices of second-hand homes have fallen over
10 percent so far this year.
Further price cuts in the secondary market followed.
After
the policy address was announced, a homeowner of Caribbean Coast in
Tung Chung sold the three-bedroom unit at HK$8 million, 7 percent
cheaper than the original offer, according to a property agency.
The reduced price also brought a 3.6 percent loss as the owner bought the flat at HK$8.3 million in 2019.
On the office rental market, UBS has reportedly renewed its leases at the Two International Finance Centre
at HK$18.2 million per month, a drop of nearly 30 percent, after
renting 250,000 square feet of office space in the tallest tower of Sun
Hung Kai Properties' (0016) West Kowloon terminus project.

逾70年舊樓強拍門檻 降至6成
施政報告提出,進一步放寬舊樓強拍門檻,以加快舊區重建。當局建議放寬申請強拍門檻,樓齡達50年或以上但少於70年的私人樓宇,門檻將由8成降低至7成,而樓齡達70年或以上則降低至6成,當局將於明年下半年公布具體方案。
逾50年樓 將降至7成
早於去年提出研究放寬的舊樓強拍門檻,於今年新一份施政報告公布新進展。最新建議為樓齡達50年或以上但少於70年的私人樓宇,門檻將由8成降低至7成;而樓齡達70年或以上則降低至6成;同時,對於位於非工業用地的工廈,若其樓齡達30年或以上,強拍門檻將由8成降至7成。
消息透露,目前全港樓齡70年或以上舊樓涉1,100幢,主要分布於九龍城、深水埗及佐敦。據悉,樓齡50至70年私人住宅約8,000幢。當局預計明年下半年公布具體方案。
此外,當局會放寬相連地段強拍申請要求、精簡法律程序,及透過專責辦事處,為受影響小業主提供更多支援,並於今年內就方案諮詢立法會及持份者。至於前述的專責辦事處將會加強資訊及輔導,例如為小業主提供獨立估值報告、為他們提供貸款,以減低其壓力,並設搬遷支援。
業界:中半山灣仔土瓜灣受惠
業界普遍認為可加快舊區重建,有測量師稱,是次放寬幅度合理,可以令發展商收購變得更容易,並預計成功放寬門檻後,首年可額外接獲20至30宗強拍新申請,又料中半山、灣仔及土瓜灣等地區較受惠。
而一向積極併購舊樓的田生集團指,集團現時共有511幢舊樓進行收購,涉約436萬平方呎地盤,可重建樓面約3,723萬平方呎,當中40個項目收購業權已逾7成,即可符合新強拍條例要求。如以市區重建地積比8.7至9.6倍計,相關地盤總樓面涉約324.6萬平方呎。

醫局街舊樓獲批強拍
深水埗近年有多個重建項目,其中青建國際等併購的醫局街163至169號 (單號),最新獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價為2.6億,對比2019年3月申請強拍時市場估值約1.56億,高出1.04億或66.7%。
底價為2.6億
據土地審裁處文件顯示,是次獲批強拍令的醫局街163至169號 (單號),該項目早於2019年由青建國際等向該處提出申請強拍,事隔約3年終於獲該處批出強制售賣令,底價為2.6億,對比2019年3月申請強拍時市場估值約1.56億,高出1.04億,幅度66.7%。
據青建國際年報顯示,截至2021年12月底青建國際與合作方已收購該項目超過86%業權。上述項目鄰近港鐵深水埗及南昌站,前者步行前往約5分鐘,後者南昌站步行前往則約10分鐘,而鄰近亦有多條巴士路綫行走,極具重建價值。
根據判詞指出,申請人曾委託結構工程師對該舊樓進行結構評估,認為該建築物的結構條件很差,多處地方有較深的裂縫和剝落情況,設計在多方面已經過時,無論是在物理上還是在功能上,部分設施未能符合現代安全標準和法定要求。
上址現為2幢5至6層高商住舊樓,地下共4商鋪,其餘樓層為住宅,涉23個單位,樓齡均逾65年。

羅素街8號全層取消交易 馬時亨長女損失訂金500萬
前港鐵主席馬時亨長女劉馬露明,早前以1.1億購入銅鑼灣羅素街全層「樓上鋪」自用,隨後交易取消,最新市場消息透露,該宗買賣令馬露明損失訂金500萬。
今年六月,中建富通主席麥紹棠蝕讓羅素街八號19樓全層,由馬露明承接,打算作為自用,經營旗下保健產品,成交價1.1億。市場消息透露,馬露明在簽署正式合約之前,已決定不購入物業,因此並沒有支付大訂,今番損失的是少於樓價半成的細訂,涉資500萬。
未簽署正式合約
據了解,雙方早於今年5月23日簽署臨時買賣合約,馬露明支付細訂500萬,雙方擬定於9月18日簽署正式合約,進一步付訂金600萬,惟她決定不買,未有簽署正式合約,業主麥紹棠於9月26日,透露律師樓出信予馬露明,通知她沒收500萬。
本報昨日聯絡馬時亨,惟直至截稿時未聯絡上。早前,馬時亨曾就取消交易一事回應:「由於買賣雙方在細節上並未能達成共識,因而未能成功交易,但對香港仍充滿信心,希望未來可以繼續投資其他項目。」
物業「回歸」原業主
上述物業為英皇鐘錶珠寶中心19樓全層,建築面積約4718方呎,平均呎價23315元,劉馬露明透過其擔任董事的公司TM Wellness購入,作價1.1億。業主麥紹棠早於2014年以1.49億購入,呎價約31581元。上址現時由醫務中心以約17萬租用。

銅鑼灣羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心19樓全層,早前由港鐵前主席馬時亨女兒馬露明以1.1億承接,隨後取消交易,本報昨日率先報道她損失500萬訂金,該物業最新再以原價1.1億沽售,買家為內地客。

英國發展商London Square在香港中環交易廣場一座開設辦公室,成立首個國際總部。London Square國際銷售經理 Naomi Minegishi 表示,鑑於集團經常與香港有生意來往,加上本港十分國際化,所以選址在此。
她又指,來年集團料有4至5個位於倫敦的住宅項目推出,將來發展主綫依然以住宅項目為主。她認為目前英國樓市的交投量頗多,並對其前景感到樂觀。

華潤物流洽購嘉里上水貨倉 涉資16億 平均每呎4500元
今年以來工廈受追捧,市場連錄大買賣,華潤物流繼早前以約46.2億購入嘉里沙田及柴灣全幢貨倉後,最新洽購嘉里貨倉 (上水) 全幢至尾聲,涉資約16億,項目佔地近7萬呎,屬大型工業項目,平均呎價約4500元。
嘉里貨倉 (上水) 位於上水新寶街2號,佔地69062方呎,總樓面356253方呎,另有37個車位,市場消息透露,華潤物流正積極洽購中,涉資約16億,平均呎價約4500元 (未計車位),料短期內成事,該項目呎租10至12元,若以現時月租計算,料回報約3厘。還有,嘉里旗下的粉嶺貨倉,亦獲財團洽購中,涉資約14億,嘉里貨倉 (粉嶺) 位於安樂門街39號,佔地54197方呎,建築面積283580方呎,平均呎價約4500元。亦有市場消息盛傳,該兩幢貨倉已告易手,金額約30億。本報昨日就有關消息向嘉里查詢,惟直至截稿時,尚未聯絡得上。
料回報約3厘
華潤物流早前亦向嘉里購入嘉里貨倉 (沙田) 及嘉里貨倉 (柴灣) 兩項物業,作價分別23.3億及22.9億,共涉資約46.2億。當時,嘉里則指出,考慮到新冠疫情下現行市況,集團財務狀況及貨倉的營運表現,董事認為出售事項為公司提供絕佳機會釋放貨倉價值,並認為出售不會對集團業務及營運產生重大影響。
嘉里 (沙田) 貨倉位於火炭山尾街36至42號,對面為近年入伙的駿洋邨,該貨倉樓高18層,總樓面約404374方呎,物業呎租約12至14元,主要為物流行業租用,作價23.3億,呎價約5762元。
嘉里貨倉 (粉嶺) 14億獲洽
嘉里貨倉 (柴灣) 位於柴灣嘉業街50號,樓高15層,總樓面約521253方呎,成交價22.9億,平均呎價約4393元。數年前,嘉里物流曾計畫改裝柴灣貨倉為大型骨灰龕場,惟城規會指,項目所在為活躍的作業海港,有貨倉及工業用途,與申請人提出土地用途不協調,亦憂減少工業用地供應等,否決有關申請。
華潤物流活躍於工廈市場,去年亦向鄧成波家族購入屯門及粉嶺工廈,涉及屯門東亞紗廠工業大廈第一期全幢,以及粉嶺安樂門街35至37號勉勵龍中心全幢,分別涉約22.42億及6.95億,合共近30億。

西環項目申建商廈未獲支持
由財團持有的西營盤石塘嘴德輔道西380號,早前曾向城規會申請重建為一幢樓高24層的商廈,今年4月遭城規會拒絕後,該財團申請覆核,最新規劃署不支持有關方案,今日城規會審議時料會遭否決。
地盤面積1498呎
據城規會文件顯示,上述項目現時屬「住宅 (甲類) 6」地帶,申請擬議辦公室及商店及服務行業發展;地盤面積約1498方呎,擬議地積比15倍發展,以重建1幢樓高不多於24層 (包括3層平台) 的商廈,涉及可建總樓面22475方呎。
地積比15倍發展
最新上述方案並不獲規劃署支持,有關方案不符合目前劃為「 住宅 (甲類)」土地用途的規劃意向,申請人並未有提出任何充分理據以支持該發展計畫,再者擬建商廈不應建於由住宅主導區域。
而城規會將於今日舉行會議審理有關覆核,料會再次遭該會拒絕。資料顯示,該項目於今年初遭城規會拒絕,而是次新方案地積比率、高度限制及總樓面面積大致上與舊方案相同。

Brisk demand for flats in the Northern Metropolis
Market demand for new homes was
robust over the weekend with Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) receiving
over 500 checks for 50 flats at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long and Henderson Land's (0012) One Innovale-Cabanna in Fan Ling also oversubscribed.
The
two projects in the Northern Metropolis are the first to launch sales
after the policy address on Wednesday, and cheap deals for the Fan Ling
flats also spurred demand.
After receiving 500 checks for the first list, SHKP released a second price list of 20 flats Park Yoho Bologna flats, keeping the prices unchanged, and adding that the show units attracted a lot of visitors on weekends.
The
20 flats range from studios to three-bedroom units with areas of 279 to
609 square feet, and are priced from HK$4.03 million to HK$8.26 million
after discounts, or HK$13,043 to HK$14,510 per foot.
As
the flats are ready of occupation, the project attracted prospective
buyers wanting a place to move into, a property agency said.
Meanwhile, Henderson Land said its first price list of 113 flats at One Innovale-Cabanna
- the third phase of One Innovale - was one time oversubscribed. It was
the first new project offered for sale after the policy address, with
an average price of HK$14,088 per square foot after discounts. Another
agency said the project attracted a lot of buyers with prices starting
as low as HK$2.76 million, the lowest among the three phases of One
Innovale.
In the
secondary market, an agency recorded 12 transactions at 10 major housing
estates on weekends, up 33.3 percent week-on-week.
Meanwhile,
in the commercial market, shop transactions slumped 38.7 percent
monthly to HK$977 million in September while the number of transactions
dropped for the third straight month by about 10.1 percent
month-on-month to 80, according to the agency and the Land Registry.
The
company says that the short-term market outlook is still affected by
the border reopening arrangements and anti-pandemic measures in the
mainland.
There was only
one transaction worth more than HK$100 million, for the entire 26th
floor of the Emperor Watch And Jewellery Centre in Causeway Bay at
HK$130 million.
In other news, the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate rose to 2.95643 percent last Friday.

Building society issue drags on redevelopment
The
Urban Renewal Authority has revealed there is a plan to purchase a
block of flats on Kau Pui Lung Road in To Kwa Wan in early 2024.
In
doing so, URA managing director Wai Chi-sing said there are several
undissolved civil servants' cooperative building societies in the Kau
Pui Lung Road project, which was a major challenge in the implementation
of a redevelopment.
Still,
he pointed out that government officials have clarified that members of
the building societies do not have ownership of units.
But
society members, in accordance with established government procedures,
could retrieve ownership of the units and make up the land value before
selling the units legally.
On
that, Wai added that the URA would try to issue acquisitions to the
owners of the project early in 2024, and he appealed to the members of
the remaining cooperative building societies to negotiate as soon as
possible and reach a resolution on the dismantling of the CBSs so they
could receive compensation as owners and improve their living conditions
as soon as possible when the renewal authority URA makes a takeover
offer.
Of 28 CBS at Kau Pui Lung Road, nine of them remain undissolved.
After
the acquisition of the project was almost done, one of the undissolved
CBSs, with the assistance of the URA, completed the dispersal process.
Two
CBSs have also applied for dissolution, pending the completion of legal
procedures. That should be completed by the middle of next year at the
earliest.
As for the
remaining six CBSs, most have reached a preliminary agreement to
disperse, and the URA will provide them with assistance.

甲廈空置率高企,市場上租賃皆以低價承租,金鐘遠東金融中心一個單位,每呎48元租出,較高峰期回落50%。
市場消息指,上述為遠東金融中心中層02A室,建築面積約2360方呎,舊租客於今年6月遷出,業主每呎叫價58元,單位交吉三個月,以每呎約48元租出,該單位屬優質單位,向正電梯,望海景,屬優質單位。
較高峰期回落50%
有代理表示,遠東金融中心於2018年商廈高峰期時,呎租高達100元,疫市下租金顯著回落。
根據一份市場報告指出,受經濟增長放緩、內地及國際企業需求降溫等因素影響,寫字樓租金走勢持續向下,甲廈租金按月跌0.5%,今年以來累積挫5.5%。整體甲廈售價錄輕微跌幅,按月回落0.9%,今年以來累積跌4.2%。根據該行資料,金鐘甲廈空置率為9.1%,平均呎租42.9元。
金鐘甲廈空置率9.1%
另一代理表示,在疫市持續下,整體甲廈租金由高位大幅回落,幅度至少20%至30%,目前商業活動大為減慢,令寫字樓空置率高企,相信只有待開關之後,市況才能逐漸恢復。

上月港島甲廈空置率10.53% 代理行:連續4個月創新高
有代理行資料顯示,9月份港島整體商廈空置率錄約10.53%,按月再升0.15個百分點,連續第四個月刷新歷史新高。
該行認為,「0+3」入境隔離措施需時觀察,但《施政報告》提及「招商引才」計畫,可吸引不同創科企業進駐,對本港商廈租賃有幫助,預料港島區甲廈受惠最大,最快年底前空置率慢慢轉趨穩定。
按年升0.53個百分點
該行代理表示,據統計,9月份港島區整體甲廈空置率錄約10.53%,按年比較亦升0.53個百分點。按五大核心區分析,一綫商業區指標商廈空置率均有升幅,金鐘區空置率9.32%,按月升0.09個百分點,按年增加0.3個百分點。中環區錄約9.79%,比8月急升0.7個百分點,表現欠佳,按年顯著升2.15個百分點。灣仔區為五區中空置率最高,9月份錄約13.19%,按月升0.46個百分點,按年增加0.07個百分點。
中環區空置率錄9.79%
該代理續稱,港島二綫商業區甲廈最新空置情況輕微改善,區內租金相對相宜,不少大廈質素仍見不俗,以上環區走勢最為突出,9月份該區甲廈空置率由8月約11.01%回落至最新約9.53%,跌幅1.48個百分點,按年亦減低0.08個百分點。上環指標商廈中遠大廈新近一個低層07室,面積約1956方呎,獲租客以呎租約43元承租,比舊呎租約60元減28%。

Henderson Land offers cheapest new flat seen in Hong Kong for over a year as property market continues to struggle
Henderson Land Development set the starting price for One Innovale-Cabanna in the Northern Metropolis, Fanling, at just HK$2.76 million
The
Northern Metropolis Development is a priority project for the Hong Kong
Government, aimed at providing more affordable housing
Hong
Kong will see the cheapest new property launch since September 2021 at
just HK$2.76 million (US$351,616), as developers fall over themselves to
offer low-priced, small flats amid a prolonged downturn in home prices.
Henderson Land Development on Friday set the starting price for One Innovale-Cabanna in the Northern Metropolis, Fanling, New Territories at just HK$2.76 million for 186 sq ft of space.
“The
new development has the lowest entry price after Artique in Sheung Shui
in September last year at HK$2.43 million,” a property agent said. “It
will be rather attractive to first-time buyers.”
The
Northern Metropolis Development is a priority project for the Hong Kong
Government, aimed at providing more housing and transforming the city
into a more liveable and affordable metropolis.
At these lower prices, buyers can access much older flats in the secondary market.
For
HK$2.6 million, one can buy a 32-year-old public housing estate unit
measuring 264 sq ft at Wah Ming Estate’s Shun Ming House in Fanling,
according to an online listing by the agency. For HK$2.75 million,
buyers can snap up a 54-year-old flat measuring 211 sq ft in Cheong Fai
Mansion, western Kowloon.
Henderson’s move comes
just three days after Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s biggest
developer by value, priced the first batch of 50 flats at its new Park Yoho Bologna project in Yuen Long at HK$13,088 per square foot after discounts.
The price is 26.9 per cent lower than the HK$17,898 per square foot for the second phase of its Grand Mayfair project launched in May, according to data from the agency. Park Yoho Bologna’s starting price is HK$3.91 million for a flat measuring 279 sq ft.
As
Hong Kong’s property market correction continues, the agency estimated
that its market index will slide a further 5.3 per cent to reach 160
points before the end of 2022.
The
index plunged by 6.9 per cent in the past 14 weeks to 168.49, back to
the level of February 2018, according to data released on Friday.
Goldman Sachs expects home prices in Hong Kong to plummet by 30 per cent
by the end of 2023, as sharply increasing interest rates continue
pressure affordability and repel investors.
The
city will likely suffer a prolonged downcycle, similar to what was seen
between 1999 and 2003, due to interest rate hikes, a reversal in
liquidity, weakening global and regional economies, and geopolitical
concerns, another agent said in mid-October.
Cumulative
house prices nosedived about 50 per cent between 1999 and 2003, or
about 10 per cent a year, according to the real estate services firm.
“In
the worst case scenario, home prices may sink by no less than 30 per
cent in the coming two to three years, compared to the peak,” the agent
said. “Home prices will not return to 2003 levels, because inflation and
other factors far exceed levels seen back then.”
Among
56 housing estates along major railway lines in the city tracked by the
agency, nearly 90 per cent of them saw prices per square foot down in
the first three quarters, with four of them dropping by more than 20 per
cent.
Park
Towers in Tin Hau on Hong Kong Island saw the biggest average price
decline at 26 per cent from December last year to HK$21,763 per sq ft in
September.
The
city saw 418 loss-making housing deals in the third quarter amid a
stock market slump and increased emigration, according to another
agency.
At
the Ultima project in Ho Man Tin, one flat measuring 1,410 sq ft
changed hands in September for HK$35 million, a loss of HK$8.28 million
over the four years since it was previously sold, according to the
agency.
The
number of foreclosed listings in the city also rose to a 13-year high
of 209 in mid-October, approaching the level seen during the 2008
financial crisis, according to the agency.

西營盤物業再申重建 城規會拒批
有財團早前曾就西營盤德輔道西380號物業,再度向城規會申請以地積比率15倍,重建1幢24層高的商廈,總樓面約2.25萬平方呎,但城規會昨日早上審議後,再表明拒絕批准方案。
事實上,方案曾於今年4月申請重建,遭城規會拒絕。財團其後再遞交新方案,而主要發展參數,包括地積比率、高度限制及總樓面面積均與舊方案相同。不過,最新同樣遭城規會拒絕批准方案。項目位於西營盤德輔道西380號,現劃為「住宅
(甲類) 6」地帶,地盤面積約1,498平方呎。

心光盲校建屋2改劃 多數申述表支持
早於50年代建成的薄扶林道心光盲人院暨學校,早前獲城規會批准作改劃重建為83伙臨海豪宅,而且比鄰的的一幅綠化地亦獲批改劃為4幢港大醫學院新教學大樓。城規會早前就此接獲1,946份申述,大部分申述就兩改劃表示支持。
其中心光盲人院暨學校指,對將學校改劃重建為住宅表示強烈支持,因為學校日後可以落實更長遠的目標,以提供全新及經改善的設施及服務,及為視障人士提供長遠,且財政穩健的教育及關懷。不過,機構認為,城規會可只向機構收取僅需向環境保護署遞交的報告,以免再延遲該重建計劃。
據重建方案資料,項目計劃以地積比率1.9倍重建成5幢9層高住宅大樓,住用總樓面約13.2萬平方呎,提供83間低密度豪宅。
鄰地建醫學教學樓 具協同效應
同時,就把心光盲人院暨學校旁的一幅綠化地獲批改劃為4幢港大醫學院新教學大樓,瑪麗醫院表態支持,因為院方觀察到社會上修讀醫學及護士課程的學生大幅上升,而且擬建項目可以給予下一代醫護專才提供高質素的教學及研究設施,加上日後瑪麗醫院的病人及港大醫學院學生等人可在步行距離中來往醫院及擬建項目,從而產生協同效應。
而團結香港基金等機構亦對改劃表示支持,主因是人口老化加速社會對醫護服務的要求,及由第5波疫情可見本港正面對醫院及醫護人手的短缺問題,相信港大醫學院可以訓練更多本地的相關人才。

Hang Lung gets green light for Shouson Hill mansions
A plan by Hang
Lung Properties (0101) to build five luxury homes on a residential site
at Shouson Hill previously owned by the US Consulate General in Hong
Kong and Macau has been approved by the Buildings Department.
The
developer bought the six multi-story villas on 37 Shouson Hill Road
from the US Consulate in 2020 for HK$2.56 billion or HK$54,000 per
square foot.
At
the time, Hang Lung said it expected to invest about HK$4 billion to
build several detached homes at the site, expected to be completed in
2024.
The property has now been approved to be redeveloped into five luxury mansions with a total area of about 47,298 sq ft.
Each home will have three stories and an underground basement, with an average floor area of 9,459 sq ft.
The
site was purchased by the US government in 1948 and was used as
residences for staff at the consulate. The cluster of six low-rise
buildings comprised 26 apartments, 52 car park spaces and an outdoor
pool.
Hang
Lung won the bid for the property in September 2020, but Chinese
government blocked the sale in December, saying the US consulate had
failed to seek its permission, before clearing the transfer in February
2021.
Apart
from the Shouson Hill development, the Buildings Department approved 23
plans in August including 15 for apartment and commercial developments,
three for factory and industrial developments, and five community
services developments.
Among
these, a site at 37 Shanghai Street in Jordan owned by New World
Development (0017) has been approved for reconstruction as a 22-story
residential and commercial building with residential and commercial
areas of about 13,021 sq ft and 2,287 sq ft respectively.
In other news, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it will put 66 flats at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long on sale this Thursday.
Of
these, 60 will be offered on the price list and six will be sold via
tender. The cheapest flat is priced at HK$3.91 million, or HK$14,010 per
sq ft, with an area of 279 sq ft.
The project, located at 18 Castle Peak Road offers 164 flats with areas of 257 to 1,155 sq ft.
Meanwhile, the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate rose to a 14-year high of 3.01685 percent yesterday.

前美國領事館批建五幢超級豪宅
本港南區豪宅新供應有限,新近終於有新供應,恒隆地產早於二零二零年向美國領事館購入的南區壽山村道三十七號項目,昨日終於獲屋宇署批建五幢洋房,料未來將打造超級豪宅。
戶戶全海景 每幢近萬呎
據屋宇署昨日公布今年八月批出的建築圖則文件顯示,上述項目獲批建共五幢三層高 (在一層低層地下之上) 的獨立洋房,涉及可建總樓面約四萬七千二百九十七方呎,若以五幢洋房計,即平均每幢洋房面積約九千四百五十九方呎。
該項目地盤布局修長,而且該地段地勢高,環境清幽及私隱度高,可重建為海景豪宅獨立屋,料日後戶戶均可飽覽深水灣景致,將會是該區近年罕有超級豪宅新供應。
有業內人士指出,雖然目前本港樓市仍受疫情及不利因素影響,近期不少豪宅項目依然有價有市,料該項目日後推出市場銷售時,市場不利因素已消散,屆時經濟亦已復常,對內及對外已通關;再者,該項目可享深水灣一帶景致,料屆時推出市場銷售時,可吸引不少人士追捧。
有測量師表示,由於本港超級豪宅項目一向銷售速度緩慢,惟豪宅項目買家一向實力雄厚,只要遇到合心意的項目便會果斷入市。該項目現獲重建為五幢超級豪宅,料日後落成後每呎可售九萬五千元以上。
恒隆兩年前25.66億投得
資料顯示,恒隆地產早於二零二零年九月斥資二十五億六千六百萬投得、美國政府推出招標出售的南區壽山村道三十七號豪宅地,當時每方呎樓面地價約五萬二千元,屬低於市場估值。當年壽山村道地皮亦成為該集團約二十年來首幅購入的本港住宅地。
該用地原為美國駐港領事館宿舍,設有六幢低密度住宅物業,提供二十六個單位及五十二個車位,物業於一九八三年落成,另設室外游泳池。由於該地並非一般的商業物業,當時交易牽涉中國及美國之間外交事務,按照中央人民政府規定,根據對等原則和中方相關房地產管理要求,美國駐港總領事館就物業買賣租賃等,美國政府應提前六十天,經外交部駐港特派員公署向中央人民政府提出申請,提供詳細資訊,以取得中央人民政府書面許可。故有關交易延至去年二月完成。
據恒隆年報顯示,南區壽山村道三十七號的地皮收購項目已於二○二一年二月完成。該地皮將被重建成多間豪華大宅,預計於二零二四年落成。

黑石基金等購長沙灣工廈作價8.5億 夥迷你倉集團
疫市以來,全幢工廈一直受捧,成為買賣熾熱的範疇,長沙灣最新錄1宗巨額工廈買賣,區內永新工業大廈全幢以約8.5億易手,平均呎價約5600元,新買家為私募基金黑石 (Blackstone) 夥儲存易迷你倉集團。
永新工業大廈位處荔枝角道850至870號,樓齡約45年,具重建價值,該廈佔地面積約1.51萬方呎,今年初向城規申請,擬將地積比率由12倍增至14.4倍,以重建1幢26層高 (包括4層地庫) 的商廈,作為寫字樓、食肆、商店及服務行業用途,總樓面涉約21.5萬方呎。同時,申請人擬為重建項目,於長茂街和荔枝角道自願實施3.5米的樓宇後移,擴闊道路 (行人道),給予行人有更多的空間。
平均呎價5600元
黑石基金近年曾先後購入多幢工廈,去年斥資5.08億,向英皇購入鴻圖道處82號全幢工廈,總樓面面積約8.95萬方呎,平均呎價約5676元;去年7月亦以約2.83億,購入粉嶺業暢街13號的一幢5層高工業大廈,佔地約12895方呎,總面積約為63897方呎。
黑石集團屬美國私募基金巨頭,市況波動下仍然成功籌巨資,早前,該集團在監管文件中表示,已經完成其主力房產基金最新版本 Blackstone Real Estate Partners X 的總計241億美元募集。
接連購觀塘粉嶺工廈
黑石集團將擁有超過500億美元資金池,來進行機會主義投資,該類投資往往是風險較高的交易,同時具有較高回報的潛力。
該集團之前的紀錄是在2019年籌集260億美元收購基金。
今年以來工廈買賣活躍,其中,包括華潤物流早前以約46.2億購入嘉里沙田及柴灣全幢貨倉,最新洽購嘉里貨倉 (上水) 全幢至尾聲,涉資約16億,項目佔地近7萬呎,屬大型工業項目,平均呎價約4500元。
嘉里貨倉 (上水) 位於上水新寶街2號,佔地69062方呎,總樓面356253方呎,另有37個車位,由華潤物流正積極洽購中,涉資約16億,平均呎價約4500元 (未計車位),料短期內成事,該項目呎租10至12元,若以現時月租計算,料回報約3厘。

財團疫市變陣酒店改裝住宅 旅客近絕迹 業界指「自救」求突破
在疫情及封關措施影響下,訪港旅客近乎絕迹,重創本港旅遊及酒店業,部分財團率先「變陣」改劃旗下項目作住宅發展。本報統計顯示,最少有7個酒店項目重建或全幢改裝為住宅,部分更已成功通過改劃,未來至少提供逾4800個住宅單位。
近期有不少財團將旗下酒店轉為住宅發展,本報統計顯示,2020年至今最少有7個酒店項目改劃住宅發展,涉約4823伙,部分項目已成功獲城規會批准發展。
嘉湖海逸改裝需補地價
最矚目為長實旗下3酒店申請改劃作住宅發展,涉約3363伙,當中天水圍嘉湖海逸酒店,今年6月再向城規會遞交新發展方案,計畫改裝整幢酒店,以提供1102伙住宅單位,該發展方案早前已獲城規會「開綠燈」通過,若日後落實發展住宅項目需要進行補地價程序。
嘉湖海逸酒店改建將現時第1及2座進行全幢改裝,以及將酒店地下及一樓改作商業用途,而現有平台的商業用途 (置富嘉湖第一及二期) 則予以保留。上述項目地盤面積約30萬方呎,當中住宅樓面約59.92萬方呎,非住宅樓面則佔約56.4萬方呎,即整個項目可建總樓面約116.32萬方呎,另提供約945個車位。
長實早前亦就紅磡海韻軒海景酒店向城規會申請全幢改裝,以提供約1503個住宅單位及約442個酒店房間,當中酒店房間數目對比現時的1980個,大幅減少約78%。該公司旗下馬鞍山海澄軒海景酒店,於2020年向城規會申請改劃作住宅發展獲同意。
帝景改裝已獲城規通過
另外,新地旗下荃灣汀九帝景酒店,去年6月曾向城規會申請改裝住宅發展,以提供661伙,該發展計畫於今年6月獲城規會通過發展。
由資本策略等持有位於佐敦的香港九龍諾富特酒店,早前亦申請重建1幢28層高的綜合大樓,以提供285伙住宅。據資本策略年報顯示,該酒店已於2021年9月開展重建計畫。
上環宜必思香港中上環酒店、早前曾向城規會申請重建住宅提供284個單位,今年6月亦獲城規會在有附帶條件下批准。

「0+3」檢疫措施加速改劃變用途
政府放寬入境檢疫安排為「0+3」,即旅客毋須再在酒店接受隔離檢疫,直接影響酒店業的生意,預期不少酒店為尋求出路,會加速改劃住宅發展。
近年香港酒店業面對不少困難,有業界人士指出,「0+3」的新安排對業界未必是好消息,由於毋須再在酒店接受隔離檢疫,意味檢疫酒店將會重返市場,惟目前本地需求不大,而且「0+3」對旅客吸引力亦不大,預期新安排下酒店業生意不會太好,而且在新政策下,可能有較多港人選擇外遊,預料本港酒店入住率會下跌,生意亦受影響,不排除有財團看淡未來酒店業發展前景,加速變陣將酒店改劃住宅發展。
現申請改劃獲批機會大增
有測量師表示,疫情持續約3年,本港商業及旅客業受重挫,而且政府將隔離政策放寬至「0+3」,入境旅客免除酒店檢疫要求,只需接受3天的家居隔離監察,令隔離酒店入住率大跌,不少財團看淡酒店業前景,而且目前酒店需求下跌的情況下,申請改劃獲城規會批准的機會亦大增,加上近年房屋供應短缺,故吸引財團積極改劃旗下酒店項目作住宅發展。
另一測量師指出,疫情持續影響下,目前本港整體商業市場疲弱,當中酒店業更大受打擊,整體市道仍然未有起色,而且「0+3」下,入境旅客免除酒店檢疫要求,亦影響酒店業的入住率,導致近期有不少酒店紛紛改劃作住宅發展。

32 developers invited for Sai Ying Pun project bids
The Urban Renewal Authority has
invited 32 developers to tender for the Queen's Road West/In Ku Lane
Development project in Sai Ying Pun, after it received 33 expressions of
interest last month.
Lan
Kwai Fong Properties, founded by the "father of Lan Kwai Fong" Allan
Zeman, also showed interest in the project but it was not clear whether
the developer was invited to tender. If so, it would be the first time
it has made a bid for a property project.
The
development, which covers a site area of 1,566 square meters, was first
announced in March 2018. Upon completion, it is planned to provide a
total gross floor area of 11,290 sq m.
Market
valuations for the site range from HK$1.5 billion to HK$1.7 billion -
or from about HK$12,300 to HK$14,000 per square foot.
The
project aims to rationalize the land use and layout in the area by
replanning the public open space to improve the connectivity,
accessibility and built environment.
Tender submissions will close at noon on November 24.
In
the primary market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it has
collected more than 1,500 checks for the 60 units to be sold tomorrow at
Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long, meaning they are 24 times oversubscribed.
Two days later, its project with CK Asset (1113) - Grand Jeté
phase 1 in Tuen Mun - will also see a new round of sales, offering 80
units. They include 70 flats on price lists and 10 penthouses for
tender.
On Saturday, 118 flats at One Innovale-Cabanna in
Fan Ling will be put up for sale, developer Henderson Land Development
(0012) said. The second price list was unveiled yesterday together with
the sales arrangement, which provides 57 flats at an average square-foot
price of HK$14,208 after discounts.
The
batch, which includes homes from 224 to 683 sq ft, is priced at between
HK$3.31 million and HK$9.36 million, or between HK$13,398 and HK$15,469
per sq ft after discounts.
Henderson
said it has attracted 770 checks for the project, an oversubscription
of nearly six times compared to the 113 units in the first batch.
In Tseung Kwan O, homes at LP10,
developed by Nan Fung Group and MTR Corporation (0066), are ready for
delivery after the government granted consent to assign, Nan Fung said.
It will launch sales of the remaining 11 percent unsold units at the
completed project in due course.

港島東增464萬呎商業樓面
近年鰂魚涌、太古一帶的舊樓及工廈逐步重建為商廈,其中位於臨海位置的鰂魚涌海裕街用地,將會建成一排商廈及酒店群。初步估計,區內的重建項目將提供約464萬平方呎商業樓面,進一步穩固港島東商業區的地位。
以往鰂魚涌屬於住宅及工業為主的社區,不過,隨着區內的大地主太古地產 (01972) 陸續將區內廠房、工廈重建成為太古坊的商廈群,逐漸變成第2個商業延伸區。發展商亦看準商機,陸續為區內工廈及舊樓開展重建工程,加快地區轉型。據粗略統計,現時區內至少有3個正在進行的工商業重建項目,共涉約216.2萬平方呎的商業樓面供應。
海裕街地盤標售 市值約40億
原由太平協和所持有的鰂魚涌海裕街地盤,於今年年中招標放售,可重建的商業樓面涉約40萬平方呎。項目去年3月獲通過有關原址換地申請,擬換地後的地盤面積或可達91,838平方呎,經補地價後,或可提供建築面積約40萬平方呎樓面,興建5幢34米至41米 (主水平基準以上) 的建築物,作為酒店和辦公室用途,並設4.1萬平方呎的觀景平台。據了解,項目的市值約40億元,每呎樓面地價約1萬元,但日後轉作商廈用途需補地價。
值得留意的是,早在2000年代初曾經有意將用地建為一個名為「老香港」的懷舊主題公園及商業旅遊項目,直至近年,發展商才同意原址換地。而項目以曾於2019年獲批准興建建1幢商廈、4幢酒店,提供400間客房,總樓面約40萬方呎。
濱海街舊樓獲批建商住大廈
另外,恒地 (00012) 及太古旗下的鰂魚涌濱海街16至94號及英皇道983至987A號舊樓,於今年3月份獲屋宇署批建2幢28層高 (另設3層平台及2層地庫) 的商住大廈,並設有住戶康樂設施,涉及的住用總樓面約36.83萬平方呎,而非住用樓面則涉約7.24萬平方呎。
至於太古地產收購逾10年的鰂魚涌仁孚工業大廈,亦於今年年初獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價為約50.526億元,屬於強拍條例於1999年生效以來,涉及底價最貴的強拍。事實上,集團花逾10年的收購,並於2018年已經就項目及比鄰的船塢里8號華廈工業大廈申請強拍。發展商表示,若最終成功投得上述兩項目,將計劃重建為辦公樓及其他商業用途,涉及總樓面約77.9萬平方呎。

港島東甲廈吸納量 止跌回升
有外資代理行近日發表2022年第三季寫字樓及商舖租賃市場回顧及展望報告指,第三季甲級寫字樓吸納量受港島東新落成甲廈預租成交帶動,而止跌回升。
甲廈呎租按季升0.7%
據報告指出,第三季整體淨吸納量主要受新落成甲廈預租面積所帶動,錄得正18.3萬平方呎,季度內有新甲廈落成的地區如港島東、港島南及九龍東均見淨吸納量回升,當中港島東吸納量錄34.78萬平方呎,屬於季內最多。
至於,港島東甲級商廈的呎租季內為46元,按季升0.7% (計入新供應後),年初至今已經下跌3.2%。
該行又預計,最新「0+3」入境檢疫安排未能即時吸引大量旅客訪港,反而刺激港人外遊,故短期內對本地零售活動構成壓力。

凱施餅店標售觀塘廠房
近期傳財困的凱施餅店加快沽貨,據悉該集團已委託測量師行,標售位於觀塘偉業街廠房總部,兩項工廈涉近13萬平方呎,市值約8億元。
兩工廈涉近13萬呎 市值8億
市場消息指,有外資測量師行近日獲委託出售觀塘兩工廈物業,分別為觀塘偉業街155號建邦工業大廈全幢,以及比鄰的偉業街157至159號南華工業大廈約88.9%不可分割業權份數,項目將於11月底截標。

據了解,該物業由凱施餅店或有關人士持有,集團多年來分階段購入樓面,作為集團總部及廠房。事實上,近月凱施餅店傳出財困,捲入欠薪及分店欠租等,而集團加快推售物業,是次推出的廠房屬集團持有最貴重的單一物業。同時間,消息指該集團亦連環推出舖位放售,分布於大圍、觀塘及荃灣等,沽貨以套現資金。

市建局西營盤項目突招標 「一口價」定勝負 賣樓達35億固定分紅40%
港島區住宅地皮新供應渴市,市建局昨突公布推出皇后大道西/賢居里發展項目招標,消息指,發展商需自行提出「一口價」,以價高者得決勝負,日後賣樓收益達35億便須與市建局分紅,固定分紅40%。該項目綜合市場估值,上述地皮估值介乎約15億至16億,每方呎估值約1.23萬至1.32萬,料發展商出價較為審慎及保守。
該局西營盤皇后大道西/賢居里發展項目,挾港島「靚地」及鐵路沿綫住宅的優勢,昨日正式招標,其招標條款隨即曝光,市場消息指出,項目售樓收益達35億,中標財團便須與市建局分紅,固定分紅40%,若以項目總樓面約12.15萬方呎計,相當於每方呎售價約2.88萬便需要分紅,對比今年8月批出的崇慶里
/ 桂香街發展項目當時每方呎售價逾3.16萬便需要分紅為少。
估值約15至16億
另外,發展商亦需向市建局自行提出「一口價」建議,將成為勝負的關鍵。該項目設有限呎條款,住宅單位面積不得少於300方呎,同時規定至少一半的單位面積不可超過480方呎。
該項目於上月底完成招收意向書程序,合共接獲33份意向書,該局昨日正式邀請32家發展商及財團入標競投,即有1家不獲邀請,項目將於11月24日截標。市建局指出,招標遴選小組將評審收到的標書,並於稍後就批出本發展項目的發展向市建局董事會提交建議,由董事會作最終決定。
設限呎條款
上述項目位於皇后大道西129至151號 (單數),鄰近港鐵西營盤站,步行前往約其中一個出口約3分鐘步行程。市建局於2018年3月展開上述項目,並於2019年8月以實用面積每方呎24051元向小業主提出收購價建議。項目地盤面積約16864方呎,可建總樓面約121526方呎。
據招標條款顯示,成功取得本項目的發展商,須按發展協議中列明的標準與品質、可持續發展和智能系統等要求興建新發展項目,以為港島中西區提供一個優質的生活環境。另外,現時的賢居里垃圾收集站、公廁及公眾休憩用地將會作原地重置及融入在未來的發展項目內,其可用性亦會相應地提升。
業界料財團出價審慎
有測量師指出,上述項目屬市區罕有新供應,惟近日股票市場出現「小股災」,下月首3周均已有不同的賣地表地皮截標,料財團出價會參考該批地皮標價而作出調整,料財團出價審慎及保守。
另一測量師表示,該項目位處市區,惟近日股票市場表現較差,料發展商出價較為審慎及保守,估計可吸引10份標書。

律師樓租港島東中心 呎租約50元
原租中環置地廣場 搬遷省租金
不少律師樓遷往港島東,消息指,鰂魚涌港島東中心逾7千呎樓面,獲律師樓租用,呎租約50餘元,該行原租用中環商廈。
市場消息稱,鰂魚涌港島東中心錄得租務成交,涉及物業高層,面積約7,600平方呎,以每平方呎約50元租出,屬市價水平。據了解,新租客為一家律師樓,原租用中環置地廣場-公爵大廈高層單位,按現時物業呎租約100餘元計,相信搬遷可節省一半租金。
財匯局租太古坊二座 擴充兼升級
近年太古坊商廈吸納多個行業進駐,而以往辦公室集中於中環的律師樓,亦陸續於港島東出現,如大型美資律師樓Baker & McKenzie,2018年預租太古坊一座多層,成為該廈大租客之一。
港島東新商廈吸引租客搬遷,消息指,今年落成的太古坊二座錄得全層租務,涉及約3萬呎,獲租客以每平方呎約55餘元預租。據悉,新租客為半官方機構「會計及財務滙報局」,原租灣仔合和中心,現升級及擴充。據悉,太古坊二座已獲入伙紙,而物業出租情況不錯,已預租逾5成樓面,包括銀行、顧問公司等。
另商廈租務方面,消息稱,上環信德中心招商局大廈高層09室,面積約1,912平方呎,以每呎約55元租出,屬近期較理想水平,而同廈信德中心西座中層04室,面積約1,402平方呎,以每呎約34元租出。另灣仔北鷹君中心中高層10至11室,面積約3,720平方呎,成交呎租約48元。

外資代理行:第四季寫字樓租金 料續向下
有外資代理行發布最新的市場報告指,隨着愈來愈多的中小型公司以較低的租金水平在非核心區域租用寫字樓,非核心區域的寫字樓空置率在9月份輕微下跌,以北角為例,空置率由8月的12.5%降至9月的11.6%。至於上環的空置率則由8月的8.2%跌至9月的7.7%。
建議再放寬入境檢疫
不過,由於中環未來的寫字樓供應充足,將增加業主在短期內減租的壓力,因此該行預計2022年第四季寫字樓租金將在持續向下。
該行指出,「0+3」檢疫措施公布後,整體商業信心正在改善。雖然尚未完全通關,但香港已經開始接受商務旅客,企業對進一步放寬社交距離限制,及取消所有檢疫要求抱有希望,並相信政府再放寬入境及檢疫要求,香港的經濟活動才會顯著復甦。
住宅方面,該行認為,市場擔憂加息,買家和業主普遍持觀望態度,9月份一手及二手住宅成交量分別按月下跌8.2%及5.2%。由於有部分業主急於賣樓套現,因此相信樓價仍然面臨壓力。
零售物業市面,該行指仍然疲軟。8月份零售總銷售額繼續表現欠佳,按年下跌0.1%,達至286億元。

外資「吼位」大手購商廈豪宅
在疫情持續下,經濟處低迷狀況,寫字樓空置率創歷來新高;豪宅買賣更大不如前,不過,近期市場連環錄大刁,外資基金「吼位」大手購商廈豪宅,令市場人士嘖嘖稱奇。
有人辭官歸故里,有人漏夜趕科場,發展商大手沽貨套現,為鎖定利潤及保存實力,尋找更佳投資機會,近期市場錄2宗大型買賣,半山超級豪宅及長沙灣地標甲廈,涉資分別208億及31億,買家都是「過江龍」,由兩家來自新加坡的基金承接。
有代理形容,在淡風下,近期見聰明錢「偷步」來港掃貨,顯示對於外資來說,本港甲廈及豪宅價格跌至吸引價水平。事實上,若不是淡市,相信賣家不會輕易沽貨,甲廈市場尤其冰封,租客撤出的多,進駐承租少,令市場處於負吸納量,整體空置率高達14%,未來兩年空置量多達2000萬,然而,見慣風浪的投資者表示,市場轉變可以很迅速,回顧過往,其實,市況熾熱時間多,淡市時間較遠,大家還是要好好利用「淡市」,沽貨的為尋找機會,買貨則是把握機會。

代理行:商廈買賣集中九龍新界區
有代理行指出,9月份商廈買賣集中九龍和新界,尖東新東海商業中心低層6至7室,以約1900萬易手,建築面積約2508方呎,平均呎價7576元。旺角中心1期中層14室,亦以2280萬易手,建築面積約964方呎,平均呎價23651元。葵芳新都會廣場第2期高層7室,建築面積約2659方呎,以每呎11320元易手。
新東海商業中心呎價7576元易手
該行續指出,租賃市場表現一般,平均租金連續3個月下調,其中,1000方呎以下的細單位佔9月總成交約40%。中環皇后大道中9號低層06至07室,以每呎65元租出,建築面積約677方呎,尖東康宏廣場低層12室以每呎32元租出,涉及樓面約952方呎。
代理行:非核心商廈空置微跌
另有代理指出,隨着愈來愈多中小型公司,以較低租金在非核心區承租寫字樓,非核心區寫字樓空置率在9月份微跌,九龍區租戶則傾向以優惠租金續租。
該行指出,由於市場低迷,大企業平租核心區寫字樓,追求高質素趨勢持續。中環長江集團中心二期及 The Henderson 正接受預租,已獲得不少準租戶青睞。

confidence in the development of Hong Kong and mainland China.

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices fall to the lowest level since January 2019, with analysts predicting further decline
Hong Kong’s secondary home prices fell 2.1 per cent in September, taking the year-to-date slump to 8.1 per cent
Home prices are expected to fall further for the rest of the year and test the 10 per cent level, analysts say
Hong
Kong’s lived-in home prices fell 2.1 per cent in September, declining
for the fourth straight month and hitting the lowest level since January
2019, according to the latest government data.
The secondary home price
index compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department dropped to 362.1
from 369.7 in August. The index stood at 361 in January 2019.
So far this year, the gauge has dropped 8.1 per cent.
Analysts
expect the index to retreat by another 2 percentage points for the rest
of the year as potential homebuyers take a cautious approach in
anticipation of further interest rate hikes and poor stock market
sentiment. A 10 per cent decline by the end of the year would push
prices down to levels last seen in December 2017, when the index stood
at 354.5.
“The
equity market is weak, and with the possible interest rate hike in
November we expect home prices to correct by about 1 to 2 percentage
points towards the end of the year, bringing the full year correction to
about 10 per cent,” a property agent said.
The agent said that their property price index for October, showed home prices had fallen by 1 per cent.
September’s
drop is the biggest since December 2018, according to another agency,
which expects home prices to fall by 10.81 per cent this year – the
largest year-on-year decline in 19 years.
Earlier
this week, the bellwether Hang Seng Index fell below 16,000 points for
the first time in more than 13 years following the Chinese Communist
Party’s 20th national congress, where President Xi Jinping secured an
unprecedented third term as the party boss. During Xi’s previous terms,
Beijing initiated various crackdowns that led to tough new rules for
private companies in the world’s second-largest economy.
The benchmark index has rebounded in the past two days and was trading about 2 per cent higher on Thursday.
Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value, sold 58 out of 60 flats as of 6pm at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long, the first project to go on sale after Chief Executive John Lee Ca-chiu’s Policy Address.
Prices
of the development start at HK$3.91 million for 279 square feet. The
sale fetched 2,577 registrations of intent, which means almost 43 buyers
competed for each flat.
Another
property agency, however, expects this month’s sales of new homes to be
lower than 400, the lowest since March. It expected the downtrend of
home prices to continue as the Policy Address did not relax cooling
measures and the chances remain high that the US Federal Reserve will
raise interest rates by 0.75 per cent next week.
Meanwhile,
the Federal Reserve is likely to further raise interest rates to curb
the fastest-rising inflation in 40 years, continuing a tightening of
monetary policy since March.
The
Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has lifted its base interest rate
five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high, in lockstep with
the Fed. Commercial banks including HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong) raised their prime rates to a four-year high.
“In
2008, during the global financial crisis, the secondary market saw a
12.5 per cent drop, so what we have now is not the worst,” the agent
said. “But if you look at home sales, this year is likely to be a 31-year low and that will have a profound impact on the economy.”
Prices of flats measuring at least 752 sq ft fell 2.1 per cent, while prices of smaller units retreated by 0.29 per cent.
“The
index is expected to continue to find a bottom for the rest of the
year, but the price decline for the full year is likely to be less than
10 per cent,” another agent.
The
agent added that measures announced by Hong Kong Chief Executive John
Lee Ka-chiu to boost the property market, including a refund of the
extra stamp duty for eligible non-locals, “would have very limited
impact on property prices”.
Meanwhile, rents rose for the fifth consecutive month in September, up 0.16 per cent month on month.
The first agent said that the trend reflected Hongkongers’ preference to rent homes amid economic uncertainties.

股市波動,經濟前景亦不明朗,市場上銀主盤驟增,灣仔指標商廈英皇集團中心剛錄一宗銀主盤成交,平均呎價1萬,低市價30%,不過,物業於13年間仍升值25%。
銀主盤作價1582萬
市場消息透露,上址為英皇集團中心中層04室,建築面積約1582方呎,成交價約1582萬,平均呎價僅1萬,上述物業屬「海嘯貨」,業主於2009年11月購入單位自用,當時呎價8000元,涉資1265.6萬,直至2015年將單位租出,及至2019年6月,以單位抵押借取二按,同年12月借取三按,最終淪為銀主盤。市傳由英皇集團購入,本報昨日致電英皇,發言人表示不作回應。
市傳英皇集團購入
據了解,除了上址外,上述業主亦於2014年1月購入灣仔資本中心中層全層連3個車位,作為自用,建築面積15727方呎,作價約2.4億,平均呎價15260元,物業亦於今年3月淪為銀主盤,意向呎價1.5萬。
英皇集團中心最近1宗成交於去年7月錄得,該廈19樓5、6及7號單位,建築面積約3882方呎,以5840萬易手,平均呎價15043元。

工商鋪錄1032宗登記 代理行:按季跌23%
工商鋪市道持續低迷,有代理表示,今年9月全港共錄303宗工商鋪買賣,較8月的367宗跌17%,創28個月以來新低,險守300宗關口,月內總值37.21億,按月急挫94%,主因前月有3宗共527.39億份屬內部轉讓巨額登記,倘撇除相關登記後,月內實際登記總值跌幅約23%。
創近9季新低
該代理指,第三季為今年最淡一季,季內工商鋪共錄1032宗登記,較第二季的1334宗跌近23%,創自2020年第三季以來9季新低。該代理相信,《施政報告》銳意搶企業、搶人才,加上疫情受控,通關條件可望陸續放寬,勢必利好經濟,期待年底前買賣止跌回穩。
工廈按月登記量跌幅相對較少,按月交投佔總體比率進一步升至近57%。9月全月工廈共錄172宗登記,按月跌13%,月內總額相應減少17%,錄17.33億。
商廈買賣連跌4個月
當中以細價工廈較活躍,銀碼介乎200萬至500萬錄72宗,惟按月跌9%;500萬至1000萬以內者則逆市升7%,月內錄45宗登記。
商廈買賣連跌4個月,並創近半年新低,9月份商廈買賣登記只有52宗,按月再挫26%,為三類物業中跌幅最大者。當中登記量跌幅集中在細價商廈,其中200萬以下者,9月份大減70%至只有3宗登記;200萬至500萬以內者亦跌41%至17宗,反映細價商廈交投轉慢。

信和等23.88億奪土瓜灣項目 樓面呎價8571元 地價7個月跌24%
市建局於土瓜灣第四個以「小區模式」發展的榮光街
/
崇安街發展項目,由信和與招商局置地合組的財團以23.88億,力壓其餘六組財團投得,平均每方呎樓面地價8571元,若與今年3月由長實投得的同區發展項目,平均每方呎樓面地價約11382元比較,短短約7個月該區每呎地價下跌逾24%。
信和副主席黃永光表示,非常高興與招商局置地合作投得上述優質臨海用地,又指項目位置優越,擁有維港景致,加上交通四通八達,為公司土地儲備增添一幅上佳地皮,將興建優質住宅項目。
黃永光:將興建優質住宅
信和表示,項目毗鄰港鐵土瓜灣站,三站直達會展站,隨着屯馬綫開通,接通新界東西、九龍東及城中主要商業中心,又指多項大型基建相繼開通,為區內注入新動力,而地區蛻變蓬勃發展,項目落成後會與區內發展產生協同效應。
該項目本月初截標,合共接獲7份標書,入標財團包括長實、新地、恒基、會德豐地產、英皇及鷹君等,結果由信和及招商局置地合組的財團以23.88億投得,平均每方呎樓面地價8571元。
夥拍招商局置地投得
值得留意的是,今年3月長實斥資59.96億,投得同區鴻福街、啟明街及榮光街四個重建項目的合併發展,當時平均每方呎樓面地價約11382元,若與信和及招商局置地是次投得的項目比較,意味該區每呎地價於短短約7個月下跌24.7%。
榮光街 / 崇安街發展項目,位於銀漢街44至54A號 (雙數) 及榮光街72至118號 (雙數),鄰近港鐵土瓜灣站,步行前往約5至6分鐘。該項目地盤面積約3.1萬方呎,可建總樓面面積約27.86萬方呎,發展規模是目前已推出項目中最細,估計可以提供約560伙。
售樓達60億須與市建局分紅
早前市場有消息指出,項目售樓收益達60億後,中標財團須與市建局分紅,達標後首1億須分紅兩成,其後分紅比例以每1億為一組遞增,當收入達63億以上,分紅劃一為50%,若以項目總樓面約27.86萬方呎計,相當於每方呎售價逾2.15萬便須要分紅,而且發展商亦須向市建局自行提出「一口價」建議。
至於商場部分,由市建局及中標財團共同持有,租金收益由中標財團和市建局以「七三」比例瓜分,租金收入中標財團佔七成,其餘三成收益則歸市建局。發展商可以向市建局要求出售非住宅部分,但須獲市建局首肯。另外,該項目設有限呎條款,住宅單位面積不得少於300方呎,同時規定最少一半的單位面積不可超過480方呎。

長沙灣栢裕工廈兩全層易手 作價9800萬 Storhub迷你倉增持
來自新加坡的Storhub迷你倉,今年以來連環購入長沙灣栢裕工業中心,最新增持該廈2全層單位,作價9800萬,平均呎價5160元,為今年以來第三次出手購入該廈迷你倉,目前持有同廈約75%業權。
上址為長沙灣長裕街18號栢裕工業中心7、8樓全層連兩個車位,每層建築面積各9487方呎,合共18994方呎,以易手價9800萬計算,平均呎價5160元。該2層連租約易手,其中7樓以全層形式租出,8樓則分間19個單位,料回報逾3厘。
平均呎價5160元
據了解,原業主為長情業主,早於1977年購入該2層單位,作價292萬,持貨約45年,帳面獲利9508萬元,物業升值逾32倍。
月前,Storhub迷你倉亦購入該廈2樓A至D室全層,建築面積12493方呎,以成交價6627萬計算,平均呎價5304元,上址A及B單位由原業主自用,C及D單位連租約,月租7.5萬,租期至明年9月。
據悉,原業主於1989年8月以2053.866萬購入一籃子單位,料今番沽售獲利可觀。
45年升值逾32倍
Storhub早於今年初斥資3.5億,向「鋪王」鄧成波家族購入上述的栢裕工業中心約50%業權,包括地廠、低層地下 (LOWER GROUND FLOOR)、1、3、9、10、11樓連6個車位,總建築面積合共68779方呎,平均呎價5089元。
今年暫斥10.46億掃工廈
若連同今次所購入的7樓及8樓,STORHUB已斥資約5.14億購入該廈,最新持有該廈逾75%業權,目前只餘下3層樓面尚未被收購。
StorHub於2003年在新加坡設立迷你倉,現在成為該國最大營運商,並擁有13個迷你倉,隨後擴展至亞洲區,於2012年進駐上海,現時在中國管理13個迷你倉。自2021年起,擴展至日本、韓國及馬來西亞,現時於香港亦擁有至少5個迷你倉。
該集團分別於今年2月,購入紅磡義達工業大廈及新蒲崗百勝工廠大廈,作價各為3.5億及1.82億,今年以來合共以逾10.46億掃入工廈。

空置率創新高 甲廈租金偏軟
需求疲弱下,商廈租售均見淡靜,亦因空置率續創新高,商廈租金同時偏軟。
據本港一間代理行統計,連續2個月港九10大指標商廈均未有成交,反映整體交投極為淡靜。另9月港島區整體甲廈空置率錄得約10.53%,比對9月再度上升0.15個百分點,為連續第4個月突破港島空置紀錄新高,按年比較亦勁升0.53個百分點。
中環空置率 按月升0.7個百分點
按5大核心區分析,一綫商業區指標商廈空置率均錄得升幅,9月金鐘區甲廈空置率為9.32%,按月上升0.09個百分點,對比2021同期增加0.30個百分點。中環區表現同樣欠佳,9月甲廈空置率錄得約9.79%,比8月急升0.70個百分點,按年更顯著上升2.15個百分點。灣仔區方面為5區中空置率最高,9月錄得約13.19%,按月上升0.46個百分點,按年比較增加0.07個百分點。
港島二綫商業區甲級商廈最新空置情況則見輕微改善,相信因為區內寫字樓租金相對相宜,且不少大廈質素仍見不俗,因而吸引租客進駐。當中以上環區走勢最為突出,9月該區甲廈空置率由8月約11.01%大幅回落至最新約9.53%,跌幅1.48個百分點,按年亦減低0.08個百分點。
至於九龍區,空置率亦未有改善。9月九龍區整體指標商廈空置率錄得約11.97%,對比8月輕微上升0.24個百分點,對比2021年9月則減少0.64個百分點。各大九龍核心商業區最新甲廈空置率按月雖見輕微升幅,但多區與去年同期相比,則有改善迹象,當中以觀塘區表現較佳,資料顯示,觀塘區9月指標商廈空置率為9.88%,按月微增0.32個百分點,但按年對比則大幅減低2.65個百分點。尖沙咀區整體指標商廈最新空置率錄得約10.16%,按月略微上升0.01個百分點,對比2021年9月大幅上揚1.39個百分點。而指標商廈林立的尖東區,按月及按年同比均見升幅。該區最新空置率為12.15%,比8月上升0.11個百分點,與去年同期比較亦上升0.82個百分點。
力寶中心 呎租低見33元
該行代理認為,政府放寬入境措施至0+3,對商廈租務及買賣未見明顯推動,投資氣氛仍弱,僅有用家入市承接乙級商廈。
租務方面,近期金鐘力寶中心錄得數宗租務,當中物業1座高層03室,面積約1,299平方呎,以每呎33元租出,為近期新低。據了解,單位交吉約半年,如今降價租出。該代理分析,由於目前商廈空置率仍處頗高水平,業主願降價放租單位,預計租金將持續偏軟。

逾億元大手成交按季跌2.3%
有外資代理行指,第三季逾億元大手買賣錄214億元,按月微跌。
該行統計指,受加息周期和環球經濟不明朗因素影響,投資者普遍持審慎觀望態度,在第三季,逾億港元的大手物業總成交額錄得約214億元,按季及按年分別微跌2.3%和1.4%。年初至今總成交額暫錄得約543億元,與上年同期比較按年跌16.6%。季內寫字樓相關成交回暖,同時,投資者的活動繼續聚焦具增值潛力的物業類型,包括重建地盤及具改裝為出租公寓潛力的住宅或酒店。
寫字樓物業成交在第三季顯著回升,至108億元,佔季內總交易額的50%,亦是自2020年第四季以來的新高。其高成交額主要受2宗大筆交易推動,包括高銀金融出售全幢位於九龍東的高銀金融國際中心 (買方資料及成交金額尚未披露;估算約70億元),以及基金Ares SSG以近31億元向新世界購入長沙灣永康街商廈項目51%權益。以上成交反映投資者對香港甲級寫字樓市場的長綫後市的信心,縱使短期內寫字樓市場前景相對保守。
投資者仍積極物色酒店或公寓的收購機會以進行改裝。其中,共居品牌及投資者Weave Living與領盛投資管理 (LaSalle Investment) 組成的合營企業收購羅便臣道68號全幢住宅物業 (涉資2.75億元),另外,據報道亦有幾個酒店資產物業正在洽談中。以上均涉及改裝為共居空間或多戶型建築等高增值用途的潛力。過去受限於政府防疫隔離措施和反覆的疫情發展,不少中小型酒店都面臨財政壓力,故部分酒店類型物業的業主願意減價出售。
寫字樓錄正吸納量
至於寫字樓市場方面,該行指,第三季香港甲級寫字樓租賃市場錄得約18.3萬平方呎的正吸納量,主要因為有企業預租坐落港島東、九龍東和港島南的新落成寫字樓項目,港島東、九龍東和港島南分別錄得約34.8萬平方呎、2.7萬平方呎和2.5萬平方呎的正吸納量。
該行指,第5波疫情影響了本港的經濟表現和商業氣氛,使大多數租戶繼續持審慎態度,尋求具成本效益的選擇,加上第三季待租率升至16.1%,寫字樓租金表現進一步受拖累。第三季甲級寫字樓整體租金比次季下跌2.3%,年初至今累跌4%,其中,尖沙咀區和中區的租金跌幅最為明顯,按季分別跌3.1%和2.1%。

Deals dip at major housing estates
Transactions at 10 major housing estates slumped 41.7 percent week-on-week despite sellers reducing their asking prices.
The
situation was put down to a lack of stimulus being announced by the SAR
administration and another interest rate hike by the United States in
the offing.
An agency
recorded seven deals during the weekend at the 10 tracked estates, down
by five and back into single-digit territory again.
Six estates did not record a single deal.
Prospective
homebuyers were continuing to waiting to see action on a relaxation of
stamp duties in the wake of the chief executive's recent policy address
and the expectation that the US Federal Reserve will hike the interest
rate by 75 basis points, a property agent said.
Several
homes were sold at discounted prices as the owners expected that the
level could fall further. Prima Villa in Sha Tin saw a two-bedroom home
change hands after the owner cut the asking price by HK$2.02 million to
HK$6.08 million.
Another
two-bedroom flat, this time at Ocean Pride in Tsuen Wan, went for HK$10
million - HK$1.68 million down on the original asking price.
Meanwhile, the primary market keeps attracting buyers. One Innovale-Cabanna
from Henderson Land Development (0012) in Fan Ling sold 69 units on
Saturday out of 113 homes on the price lists, with the discounted prices
ranging from HK$13,398 to HK$15,469 per square foot.
Park Yoho Bologna
in Yuen Long, developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), received
more than 1,000 checks for 42 units up for sale tomorrow, making them 22
times oversubscribed.

經濟樓面供應增 傳統商業區仍穩
代理:北都明日大嶼成重點 聚焦創科產業
施政報告指,未來10年政府將預留約1.11億平方呎總樓面作經濟用途。有外資代理行代理認為,其分布主要落在北部都會區及明日大嶼兩個大型計劃,相信會發展創科產業為主,並料未來傳統核心商業區的地位依舊穩固。
最新一份施政報告對於房屋、土地供應的着墨頗多,當中提及,未來10年,當局將會預留約1.11億平方呎總樓面作經濟用途。該代理估計,北部都會區將會佔當中不少面積,而另一大型計劃明日大嶼願景亦會是其中一個主要供應來源。至於港島核心商業區 (CBD1) 及九龍東第二核心商業區 (CBD2) 亦會佔有當中部分供應,但相信佔比不多。
未來以新興產業發展為主
該代理亦直言,這個龐大的供應數字看起來頗驚人,但因政府表明用作「經濟用途」,物業總類不一定只涵蓋寫字樓,亦會包含零售、科研或工業用途等。若以產業種類計算,代理認為,未來將會以新興產業,如科研、研發、創新科技等發展為主。而如根據施政報告2021綱要,新田科技城的概念當時首次出台,預計會新田、落馬洲樞紐將作領頭作用。由於旁邊、早前規劃的落馬洲河套亦會用作科技用途,所以相信新田、落馬洲河套的區域未來會是重點發展的地帶。
吸人才政策 間接助工商舖
另外,政府亦有意將金鐘道政府合署近4成辦公室樓面面積遷往「北部都會區」,這是否意味未來核心商業區正北移?該代理回應,若政府真的把金鐘部分總部搬去北部都會區,相信在經濟發展或人口規劃方面,均產生牽頭作用。代理解釋,目前傳統核心商業區,包括港島及尖沙咀屬於CBD1,主要以服務及金融業為主,CBD2九龍東則以貿易、電子生產為主。明日大嶼願景則作為第三核心商業區
(CBD3)、北部都會區將是第四核心商業區(CBD4),相信彼此有清晰的分工,定位會達到互補效果,因此傳統的核心區不會受到冷落。
代理亦指出,北部都會區日後會發展創科產業為主,相信起初需要時間慢慢追上,預計開首亦不能取代核心商業區的地位。
在近3年的疫情下,商廈及舖市氣氛沉寂,而施政報告較少有直接刺激工商舖交投的措施出台。該代理表示,雖然是次未見有太多政策對於工商舖買賣氣氛有直接的正面作用,但施政報告提出了不同有關退還稅項、吸引人才等政策,相信這可以刺激海外,或已經撤出香港的企業回港,變相間接幫助工商舖的租務需求。
(經濟日報)
寫字樓商舖 租金今季續錄跌幅
踏入第4季,有外資代理行代理估計,寫字樓及商舖的租金,今季內依然會錄得跌幅。
該代理認為,鑑於工廈由用家支持租務,所以工廈租金走勢相對穩定,而且呎租相對便宜。另外,觀乎今年寫字樓的租務表現,雖然年初中環的寫字樓曾經有起色,但之後的需求沒法維持,跌至6、7月的水平,所以估計第4季寫字樓的租金會下跌約3至5%。而商舖租金年初至今已經下跌很多,可以下跌的空間不多,預料今季內核心區較大型的商場跌約5%,民生區商舖,及工廈今季內的租金則較穩定。
雖然政府已放寬入境檢疫措施至「0+3」,但中港依然未通關,相信這亦會是影響寫字樓租務表現的關鍵因素。
美加息步伐減慢 樓市復甦時
住宅方面,市場預計,美國下月會再度加息,但他認為香港不會完全跟隨美國加最優惠利率 (Prime rate)。不過,由於美國近期接連加息,代理認為市場仍需消化加息因素,估計全年住宅樓價跌約8%,又指當美國加息步伐減慢,就是樓市復甦的時候。
市場原先憧憬的「減辣夢」落空,該代理亦表示,按照政府官方樓價指數,首8個月樓價已經累跌約7%,認為政府未有條件完全撤辣,但該代理建議,政府可以再研究減少徵收額外印花稅 (Special Stamp Duty,SSD) 及買家印花稅 (Buyer's Stamp Duty,BSD),以激活樓市。

堅尼地城地 周五截標
本周再有住宅地皮截標,位於堅尼地城西寧街「蚊型地」將於本周五 (4日) 截標,雖然近期市況轉差,但由於項目規模較細,投資額門檻較低,預計吸引不少中小型財團競投,估值料5.1億元起。
該幅地皮位於西寧街亨富閣及廣基工廠大廈之間,地盤面積只有5,780平方呎,規定作「非工業 (不包括倉庫、酒店及加油站)」用途,亦即是可作純住宅或商住之用,若果作為純住宅可建樓面約46,242平方呎,而作商住則須按照地契條款特別條件計算。
估值5.1億至7.4億
上季政府亦曾推出另一幅西營盤醫院道的小型地皮,獲得11間財團入標,最終由嘉華 (00173) 以5.5億元、每呎樓面地價1.28萬元奪得,反映市場對於中小型地皮仍然有一定需求。分析預計,西寧街「蚊型地」亦能獲得大約10至15分標書。
以純住宅計算,綜合市場估值介乎5.1億至7.4億元,即每呎樓面地價約1.1萬至1.6萬元。
近期政府賣地均加入單位實用面至少於280平方呎的要求,今次西寧街項目亦不例外,而由於地皮佔地面積較小,相信有關要求對將來開則亦會帶來限制。

灣仔是傳統商業地段,加上港鐵會展站開通後,區內不論人流及商業活動更趨繁盛,區內地標商廈英皇集團中心最新有業主盤放售,意向價1038萬,平均每呎15000元。
有代理表示,灣仔軒尼詩道274至288號英皇集團中心中層03室連租約放售,建築面積692方呎,意向價約1038萬,平均每方呎約15000元。
屬業主盤 叫價1038萬
該代理表示,該單位方正實用,附設寫字樓裝修,外望城市景,單位面積細小,以細銀碼進駐區內該指標乙廈,非常難得。該物業坐擁雲石大堂,設中央冷氣,配備6部載客電梯及1部載貨電梯。英皇集團中心為區內指標商廈,步行至港鐵灣仔站及會展站僅需6分鐘及10分鐘。
該廈近期錄1宗成交,面積千多呎,由於單位屬銀主盤,以每呎僅1萬易手,遠低於市價。再之前買賣於去年7月錄得,該廈19樓5、6及7號單位,建築面積3882方呎,以5840萬易手,平均呎價15043元。

interest rates and weaker economic growth dampened consumer demand
despite lower prices offered by developers.
Out of 118 offerings at One Innovale-Cabanna in the Northern Metropolis, Fanling, 66 were sold on Saturday – just 56 per cent.
Although
it was the cheapest new property launch since September 2021 in the
city, buyers are seen cautious amid a prolonged down cycle in the local
real estate market, which is forecast to plummet to a 27-year low this year according to a property agency.
Meanwhile, not a single unit was sold at two other projects – Grand Jeté in Tuen Mun on the western fringe of Hong Kong’s New Territories and Allegro in Kowloon City – on Saturday.
Rising interest rates and slower economic growth are weighing on buyers’ confidence, a property agent said.
“Some
buyers are trying to observe the interest rate hikes in the US in
November and whether Hong Kong will follow [with its own increases],”
the agent said. “The fluctuation of the stock market and the overall
economic trend also make people wait on the sidelines.”
Hong
Kong’s property market was hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic in the
first half of the year and is expected to further bear the brunt of
rising interest rate hikes. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has raised
its base interest rate five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high. Commercial banks such as HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong) raised their prime rates last month to a four-year high, making it costlier to fund big-ticket purchases such as housing.
The
city’s economy is also under pressure amid a worsening external trade
environment, as the government downgraded its full-year economic growth
to between 0.5 per cent growth and 0.5 per cent contraction from the
previous 1 to 2 per cent expansion.
The units at Grand Jeté and Allegro
were leftovers after previous rounds of sales, which were less
attractive compared with the new launches amid the current sluggish
market, the agent said.
One Innovale-Cabanna, developed by Henderson Land Development, has recorded the cheapest offering price
of a new property since September 2021 at just HK$2.76 million
(US$351,600) for 186 sq ft of space. It was the lowest entry price after
Artique in Sheung Shui in September last year at HK$2.43 million.
The
project was 11.3 times oversubscribed, receiving 1,387 bids as of
Friday. The units ranged from studios to three-bedroom units, between
186 sq ft to 683 sq ft. After discounts of up to 7 per cent, they were
priced at between HK$2.76 million and HK$9.42 million, with an average
price of HK$13,428 to HK$15,400 per square foot.
The offerings of 80 units at Grand Jeté,
from CK Asset Holdings and Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), comprised
five units with gardens. The rest were studios and standard units with
up to three bedrooms.
After
a 17 per cent discount, the selling prices ranged from HK$3.93 million
to HK$10.12 million, with average prices per square foot between
HK$12,888 and HK$17,098.
Country Garden’s Allegro put 50 units on sale priced from HK$5.68 million to HK$10.97 million, or HK$22,678 to HK$22,080 per square foot.
Sales
are likely to recover slightly in Hong Kong in the fourth quarter with
an expected 1,000 transactions, the agent predicted. Housing prices are
expected to dip 1 to 2 per cent, compared with the 5 per cent drop from
August to September, the agent said.

啟德住宅地突招標 估值跌價15% 業界:經濟前景未明 財團出價保守及審慎
政府早前成功將啟德3幅商業地改劃作住宅發展,當中2幅已納入賣地表,地政總署昨日公布,推出啟德2A區4號、5 (B) 號及10號合併用地招標,涉及可建總樓面約141.8萬方呎。業界人士指,在疫情及加息等不利因素影響下,樓市及經濟前景未明,參考該項目鄰近的土瓜灣項目以低價批出,料財團出價保守及審慎,並下調估值15%。該地皮綜合市場估值約138.96億至170.16億,每方呎估值約9800元至1.2萬。
啟德區近年有多幅商業地以流標收場,政府早前計畫將區內5幅商業用地改劃住宅發展,其中3幅成功改劃,其中曾以商業地方式推出、並以流標收場的2A區4號、5 (B) 號及10號合併招標地皮,政總署昨日以住宅地方式推出招標,將於下周五 (11月4日) 開始招標,12月16日截標。
估值約138.96億至170.16億
上述地皮由三個地塊組成,並合併成一個項目招標,佔地規模較大,地盤面積約21.44萬方呎,涉及可建總樓面約141.8萬方呎,並不包括將由買方按照賣地條件所興建的兩所安老院舍暨日間護理單位、家長
/
親屬資源中心和留宿幼兒中心的政府地方的樓面面積;該項目料可提供約1750伙,是今季賣地計畫推出住宅地中最大。該地鄰近港鐵屯馬綫宋皇臺站,交通便利,料日後可享九龍城一帶都市景。
不過日前市建局土瓜灣榮光街/崇安街發展項目,以每方呎樓面地價8571元批出,由信和及招商局置地合組的財團以23.88億投得,地價對比今年3月由長實投得的同區發展項目,當時每方呎樓面地價約11382元,短短約7個月該區每呎地價下跌24.7%。業內人士指,啟德地皮面積大,在目前市況下,財團出價保守及審慎。該地皮綜合市場估值約138.96億至170.16億,每方呎估值約9800元至1.2萬,對比早前每方呎估值約1.2萬至1.4萬,估值下跌約15%。
有測量師表示,由於附近的土瓜灣項目低價成交,加上目前市況前景未明,受一連串不利因素困擾,更影響項目估值,因此下調估值約15%;另外,啟德的地皮面積更大,涉及投資額多,料入標財團不多,相信財團出價保守及審慎,亦不排除財團以合組方式入標,以分散風險。
財團或合組入標
另一測量師說,地盤發展規模大,可建約1750伙,相信成功出售後,對供應有一定幫助,但看房屋局數字,施工量因供應量提升及貨尾單位銷售較慢而急劇放緩。參考鄰近榮光街項目以低價批出,預計今次啟德大型項目發展商出價更傾向審慎。
