Buying caution urged by property chief


A property agency founder says it is not a good time for investors to buy property because the recent rebound in the market may be temporary and primarily driven by rigid demand.

The chief also warned that the government's cooling measures may not be a sustainable in the long term.

The government implemented stamp duties in response to the housing under-supply and increasing property prices but relying on these cooling measures in the long term was not a sustainable solution, the chief said at a seminar held by Bank of East Asia (0023).

Residential properties below HK$10 million were benefiting more from the recent improvement in the property market, primarily due to rigid demand.

The chief said that despite the government implementing stamp duties for many years, the supply of residential properties has not seen a significant increase. On average, only a little over 10,000 flats have been added each year.

Home prices have rebounded from last year's lows by about 3 to 5 percent, but any further increase will depend on whether the economic environment improves and if other measures, such as the reopened border, can bring benefits.

In addition, the cheif cautioned that even though the population exodus in Hong Kong has eased, underlying social unrest has not been fully resolved.

Worsening Sino-US relations could also have an impact on Hong Kong and have negative effects on the property market, the chief added.

At the seminar BEA revealed it expects Hong Kong's economy to grow by 5 percent in 2023.

Meanwhile, the primary market recorded several transactions recently.

In South West Kowloon, The Grand Victoria II achieved a new record for the sale of a 489-square-foot two-bedroom unit with a transaction price of HK$15.15 million, or HK$30,985 per square foot, marking the highest price paid for this type of flat in the project.

The Grand Victoria, co-developed by Sino Land (0083), Wheelock Properties, K Wah International (0173), Shimao Property (0813) and SEA Holdings (0251), sold 45 flats in February, cashing in more than HK$800 million.

In Cheung Sha Wan, a 446-sq-ft, two-bedroom unit at The Vertex sold for nearly HK$11 million. The development held by VMS Asset Management and Twin City has sold a total of 31 flats since the Lunar New Year, earning more than HK$300 million.

In Ho Man Tin, St George's Mansions, a luxury project co-developed by Sino Land (0083) and CLP (0002), sold a three-bedroom unit with 1,868 sq ft for nearly HK$90 million.

In upcoming sales, Koko Rosso in Lam Tin, developed by Wheelock Properties, will launch its second batch of sales today, with a total of 160 flats having received 6,398 checks, oversubscribed about 39 times.

Also, the sales brochure for After The Rain, a residential building developed by Star Group (1560) in Yuen Long, has been released.

The brochure shows the project's 335 flats spread across 23 floors.

In Happy Valley, over 91 percent of the flats in The Sanitarian Apartments will be sold through a tender process. According to a property agency, the site is situated at 20-30 Green Lane, known for its luxury estates. It spans about 24,025 sq ft and is considered to have significant potential for redevelopment.

前高銀九龍灣商業地 意向價32億放售

由高銀金融及集團前主席潘蘇通持有的九龍灣宏泰道 (常悅道15號) 商業地盤,最新持有該項目的公司,為爪哇控股相關人士,物業現時於市場放售,意向價32億。

該物業原本由高銀金融持有,持貨公司為高銀環球廣場有限公司,不過,該公司去年11月易名為耀基物業控股有限公司,新登記地址為灣仔光大中心26樓,為爪哇控股的註冊辦事處。公司董事包括爪哇控股執行董事葉思廉。

持貨公司為爪哇相關人士

有代理表示,該物業已放售一段時間,並由爪哇控股相關人士推出放售,相信物業已轉讓予爪哇控股,本報昨日向爪哇控股查詢,惟直至截稿時,尚未獲得回覆。

去年11月公司易名

據了解,該項目意向價為32億,每方呎樓面地價8000元,代理指,較去年易手的同區 KC17 (前稱高銀金融國際中心) 現樓呎價6000多元高,相信要待甲廈市況復甦才能以此價賣出。

項目佔地3.3萬呎

該項目佔地33584方呎,為其他指定用途 (商貿),地積比為12倍,可興建一幢樓高22層連3層地庫的甲廈,總樓面40.3萬方呎。2011年,潘蘇通及旗下公司以8.5億向英皇購入該廈,易名為高銀環球廣場,及至2019年9月,項目由高銀金融以46億承接。

荃灣東轉型住宅 再添變數

政府早前將荃灣東大窩口工業區改劃成綜合發展區,推動轉型成住宅發展,雖然沙咀道一帶近年陸續有重建成住宅的項目,惟沙咀道一帶轉型較慢,新意網更申請將旗下工廈重建成數據中心,令轉型成住宅發展的大方向再添變數。

荃灣東工業區分別兩部分,首先是楊屋道、德士古道及沙咀道交界的大窩口工業區,佔地約4.4公頃,早在逾10年前已經獲規劃署由工業改劃成綜合發展區,用意是促進轉型成住宅區。至於楊屋道以南由馬頭壩道及德士古道組成的工業區,佔地約11.9公頃,多達40幢工廈,目前仍然維持作「工業」。

新意網楊屋道地 擬建數據中心

雖然大窩口工業區已經改劃成綜合發展區多年,但近年成功轉型住宅發展的項目集中在沙咀道一帶的2幅小區,分別是由房委會旗下大窩口工廠大廈成功重建成居屋尚翠苑,以及由新地 (00016) 牽頭提出將沙咀道及聯仁街交界的安泰工業中心、王子工業大廈及亞洲脈絡中心等4幢工廈,重建成5幢31層高私樓,總單位數目約1,330伙。

在橫窩仔街及楊屋道以北的3個小區,目前仍然未有轉型成住宅發展的傾向。早前新地旗下新意網持有楊屋道145至159號Jumbo iAdvantage,在2016年申請改劃並重建成數據中心被拒後,近日捲土重來,再申請改劃成「其他指定 (商貿)」用途,並以地積比率9.5倍重建,較2016年方案的地積比率5倍大增,擬建18層高數據中心,總樓面約19萬平方呎,樓面較舊方案大增90%。新意網質疑,荃灣東工業區實現住宅發展進度緩慢,從區內的已遞交的規劃申請可見,相對發展住宅,區內各業主皆傾向作不同非住宅用途。

新地德士古道工廈 涉38萬呎樓面

根據規劃署最新的《全港工業用地分區研究報告》顯示,區內有7成工廈樓面用作貨倉用途,另有2成樓面作為非工業用途,包括數據中心等。據當局早前報告則指,會維持作綜合發展區用途,但將來檢討時候要考慮推動加快重建轉型。

至於楊屋道以南的部分,目前仍然規劃「工業」用途,故此範圍內的6個工廈重建計劃之中,亦有4個計劃重建成新式工廈,預計可帶來約87萬平方呎樓面。當中規模最大屬於新地等重建的德士古道252及254號項目,前身為半島工業大廈,按照2014年批出的建築圖則,將會興建2幢27層高工廈,涉及近38萬平方呎樓面。

灰窰角街工廈地盤 獲3億元洽購

荃灣區工廈重建有價,近期豐泰就灰窰角街工廈地盤放售,有指獲約3億元洽購,每呎樓面地價約4,100多元。

該地盤為灰窰角街46至48號,地盤面積約6,382平方呎,在去年放售,市場估值約3.3億元。早前有傳,獲本地財團及一家基金公司積極洽商中,洽購價近3億元。

可建21 樓面地價4100

該地盤在2022年9月曾獲屋宇署批准興建為1幢樓高21層及2層地庫之新型工廈,涉及面積約72,755平方呎,以此計算,樓面地價約4,100多元。

另外,舖王梁紹鴻旗下大鴻輝興業,據指正在放售一批物業,當中亦包括德士古道荃灣工業中心的一籃子單位,總面積約222,630平方呎,叫價約11億元,呎價約4,941元。

而立泰工業中心1期早前有1個15樓單位,面積約2,342平方呎,成交價約798萬元,平均呎價約3,407元,屬略低於市價約5%成交。資料顯示,業主持貨30年,早於1993年以約230萬元一籃子形式購入單位、天台及車位,今次成功售出單位,保守估計帳面獲利約568萬元,物業升值近2.5倍。

Mong Kok landmark on way as SHKP wins site for $4.7b


Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has won a commercial site at the junction of Sai Yee Street and Argyle Street in Mong Kok for HK$4.73 billion - 16.1 percent below the lower end of market estimates - and pledged to create a new landmark.

The site, near the Mong Kok East MTR Station and the developer's Moko shopping mall, has an area of some 11,537 square meters and could provide a maximum gross floor area of 141,600 sq m.

Valuations for the plot ranged from HK$5.64 billion to HK$10.97 billion, or HK$3,700 to HK$7,200 per square foot.

"I think the government has accepted the reality and trimmed its reserve price as the commercial market has been under pressure in recent years, with rents hitting record lows," a surveyor said.

Another surveyor said it was slightly surprised by the low price for such a prime site in a prime location and believes the authorities' main consideration may be providing a stable supply.

The project with a height of up to 320 meters is expected to be completed by 2030. And a footbridge connecting Moko mall will be built to create synergy.

The other two bidders for the huge commercial plot in the area were CK Asset (1113) and a consortium of Great Eagle (0041) and Sino Land (0083), according to the Lands Department.

SHKP is required to build a day care center for the elderly, a neighborhood elderly center, an integrated children and youth services center, an integrated community center for mental wellness, a community hall, a public transport interchange as well as a public vehicle park and public toilets.

The Vertex home fetches $14m

A three-bedroom home on the higher floors of The Vertex in Cheung Sha Wan sold more than HK$14.42 million via tender yesterday.

The flat has an area of 639 square feet and sold for HK$22,567 per sq ft.

The tower is held by VMS Asset Management and Twin City and more flats may be offered for sale in the near future.

In Ma On Shan, Sino Land (0083) sold a 1,111-sq-ft four-bedroom flat at Silversands for HK$26.5 million or HK$23,853 per sq ft.

In South West Kowloon, a 741-sq-ft three-bedroom flat at The Grand Victoria II sold for HK$21.5 million.

The Grand Victoria is jointly developed by Sino Land, Wheelock Properties, K Wah International (0173), Shimao Property (0813) and SEA Holdings (0251).

In Kwun Tong, the first price list of 56 flats at Bal Residence -jointly developed by Lai Sun Development (0488) and the Urban Renewal Authority - was subscribed two times over. And in Tuen Mun, Novo Land's phase 2B had received more than 8,000 checks for the first batch of 352 flats, making them 21 times oversubscribed as of February 28. Novo Land is developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016).

In other news, a report by a property agnecy revealed that luxury property prices in Hong Kong fell 1.6 percent in 2022, leaving the city in the 89th spot among the 100 locations covered in the report. Nevertheless, Hong Kong's overall property prices remained the second most expensive in the world for the 16th consecutive year.

Wheelock sells 92 per cent of flats in second batch of Koko Rosso project in Lam Tin, despite higher prices

Wheelock Properties sold 148 of 160 flats on offer in the second launch of the project within three hours on Wednesday night

The developer raised the average price to HK$18,441 (US$2,349) per square foot, 0.5 per cent higher than the last round of sales on February 24

Hong Kong’s homebuyers are trickling back into the market.

Wheelock Properties sold 148, or 92 per cent, of the 160 flats on offer at its Koko Rosso project in Lam Tin within three hours after opening the sale at 9pm local time on Wednesday, according to agents. The company raised the average price of the current offer to HK$18,441 (US$2,349) per square foot, 0.5 per cent higher than the last round of sales on February 24.

“The sales have been strong, and there are many buyers,” said Ricky Wong, managing director at Wheelock. The response matched the bullish first launch of the 392-unit Koko Rosso project, when all 148 flats were snapped late last month.

The buoyant sale – despite the higher average price – underscored rising confidence in Hong Kong’s property market following the city’s abandonment of Covid-19 restrictions, the last of which was the mandatory wearing of face coverings on Wednesday.

The reopening of the border between Hong Kong and mainland China has raised hopes for the city’s battered property market, as buyers are seen anticipating an economic recovery following nearly three years of Covid-19 restrictions.

“The units on offer were sold by 11.30pm,” an agent said.

Hong Kong saw an uptick in the property market in February. Overall transactions increased 34.8 per cent month over month to 5,969 deals, hitting the highest level since June 2022, according to data released by another property agency on Wednesday.

The total value of the transactions also surged 35.1 per cent month over month to HK$43.9 billion, the highest since August 2022.

“The data showed a growing market sentiment after the border reopening,” agent said. “Buyers who turned to the home market before [Lunar New Year] led the rise in transactions, and the market retained its heat after that.”

Transactions should rise to around 7,000 in March thanks to a slower pace of interest-rate increases and the Hong Kong government’s decision to cut the ad valorem stamp duty, the agent said.

The latest batch of flats on offer at Koko Rosso range in size between 308 and 497 sq ft, according to Wheelock. The cheapest unit is priced at HK$6.06 million, after discounts.

“Most of the units for sale are priced below HK$10 million,” the agent said. “The flats have a good location and a walking distance from the subway station with a good view of the mountains and the sea.”

The strong sales also came in the wake of a stamp duty cut announced by the government last week.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po announced adjustments to Hong Kong’s ad valorem stamp duty, which will amount to HK$100 for homes worth up to HK$3 million, instead of up to HK$2 million previously. The changes to the stamp duty, which are on a sliding scale, apply to homes worth HK$10 million or less.

Given that the flats at Koko Rosso are being sold for lower than HK$10 million, the project was expected to benefit from the policy.

士美菲路鋪4450萬售 持貨16年升值1.86

民生區鋪位仍然活躍,西環士美菲路一個地鋪,建築面積760方呎,以4450萬易手,平均呎價5.86萬,物業於16年間升值1.86倍,新買家料回報3.1厘。

此外,地產代理表示,銅鑼灣記利佐治街1號金百利1506室,面積約1022方呎,意向價約1780萬,平均呎價約17417元,

據了解,物業現以連約出售,現租客為牙醫,若以現時市值呎租約28元計算,回報約2厘,不過,隨着通關後經濟復甦,社會及經濟復常,在利好因素帶動下,商廈市況好轉,預料租金仍有升值空間。

Property transactions rise to 8-month high


The Land Registry received a total of 5,980 sale and purchase agreements for all building units for registration last month, the highest in eight months, which marks a monthly increase of 35.1 percent and a year-on-year growth of 49.6 percent.

The total consideration for these agreements also jumped by 34.8 percent from January to a six-month high of HK$43.8 billion, according to the registry's data released yesterday.

Among the registered contracts in February, 4,282 were for residential units, which soared by 40.3 percent from a month earlier and 47 percent compared to 12 months ago.

Their value amounted to HK$36.7 billion, which was up by 44.4 percent month-on-month and 24.4 percent from February 2022.

The registration number for first-hand private homes in the month, which reflected January's sales performance, surged by 83.2 percent from the previous month to 643, a property agency said.

The number of new homes sales in the first quarter might rocket by nearly four times quarter-on-quarter to 4,200 and second-hand home transactions could also increase by nearly 70 percent to 14,000, leading to a 5 percent rise in property prices, an agent said.

The agent said the accumulated purchasing power will be released continuously in the post-Covid era especially after the government announced a series of measures to boost the economy, including reviving the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, and trimmed the stamp duty for first-time buyers of properties under HK$10.08 million.

Meanwhile, in the primary market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it received more than 10,000 checks for 352 flats at phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun, making them 27 times oversubscribed. The first round of sales will take place tomorrow and a new price list may be unveiled by then as well.

In Tseung Kwan O, Kowloon Development (0034) has raked in around HK$3.6 billion after selling 647 homes at Manor Hill. A total of 39 flats will be up for sale today and a new batch may be launched next week, the developer said.

In Lam Tin, Wheelock Properties recorded three more transactions at Koko Rosso yesterday for HK$24.8 million, and 300 units, or 77 percent of the total flats in the project have been sold.

疫後靈活辦公擴充 出租率理想

疫情令靈活辦公興起,如今本港商業復常,共享空間續擴充辦公室,品牌出租情況亦理想,反映市場漸對靈活辦公受落。

據一間外資代理行每月商廈租金走勢,1月份本港多個商業區租金均平穩向下,如中環超甲廈呎租為124.8元,按月跌0.6%,而區內傳統甲廈呎租為95.4元,按月跌1.2%。港島多區租金表現平穩,鰂魚涌呎租45.6元,按月微跌,惟過去1年租金更跌近13%,為各區最高。

置地Centricity Flex 總樓面2.5萬呎

疫情後,靈活辦公興起,租出率亦想想,置地表示,旗下靈活辦公空間Centricity Flex於2021年啟用,坐落於中環置地廣場-公爵大廈17樓及18樓全層,總樓面面積約2.5萬平方呎。置地公司Centricity主管班立德 (Paul Bennett) 指,現時出租率逾9成,自啟用以來,Centricity Flex吸引了不同專業領域的租戶,例如發現金融 (Discover Financial Services)、Toscafund和國際人力資源顧問公司Argyll Scott等。

Centricity Flex提供的設施包括智能螢幕、會議室、私人工作隔間、開放式共享辦公空間和活動空間,內設專營咖啡廳,由前文華東方酒店集團行政總廚主理。

另外,靈活辦公品牌積極擴充,theDesk近期租用九龍灣企業廣場五期全層,面積約1.7萬平方呎,開設新分店,提供13間私人辦公室外,座位數量合共達250個,另提供會議室、咖啡店及瑜伽房等,月租由3,300元起。

theDesk行政總裁及聯合創辦人許飈指,品牌現在港擁14間分店,會員人數達5,000。過往3年疫情下,會員增長理想,去年增長更加達100%,而大部分營運1年以上的分店,出租率均逾9成。

代理行:市場對大樓面需求仍弱

他指,疫情下更加推動靈活辦公,企業亦要在不同地區,提供彈性工作空間滿足員工需求,未來集團仍有擴充空間,包括與商廈大業主合作,因較適合中小企租用樓面,如涉及2至3人,或2至3個月租期的公司,可以互相配合。

整體租務市況上,有代理行指隨着內地通關和經濟前景樂觀,市場氣氛正面。然而,預計需求復甦將緩慢,寫字樓租賃活動尚未顯著回升。隨着跨國企業優先考慮成本和優化營運,甲級寫字樓搬遷到非核心區的趨勢持續。該行指,內地企業對3,000平方呎以下細面積的寫字樓的查詢增加,然而,市場仍然較為缺乏對大面積單位的需求。

繼去年推出堅尼地城一幅位於西寧街地皮後,下個財政年度的賣地表中,再有鄰近的一幅住宅地推出,並將於下季 (4至6月) 打頭陣推出,屬於年度罕有的港島地供應。地皮規模適中,估值約22億元,料將發展市場需求佳大的中小型單位。

下財年推出的12幅住宅官地中,只有2幅位於港島,包括早前流標、滾存至本財年的赤柱環角道用地,及新增的堅尼地城西寧街與域多利道交界用地。後者現為巴士總站,比鄰招商局第二貨倉及公眾殮房,亦鄰近去年11月以4.39億元 (每呎樓面地價約9,500元) 批出予興曄發展有限公司的西寧街地皮。

市場估值約22億至27

該地佔地約24,327平方呎,現規劃為「住宅 (甲類)」用途,若以地積比率約10倍發展,可建樓面約24.3萬平方呎,可提供約450伙。若於去年批出的西寧街地皮相比,這地皮的規模較大逾4倍。

事實上,以往堅尼地城為傳統的物流貨運區,西寧街一帶設有部分貨倉及工廠,而近年才慢慢轉型為商住發展。而該地皮的前方正為招商局第二貨倉,雖然旗下兩座招商局貨倉早於2019年已提出重建為商廈及海景酒店,但申請人最新已經撤回申請。

有測量師表示,地皮規模適中,總投資額數十億元,預計除大型發展商外,新型發展商亦有意競投,初步預計可接獲約10份標書。測量師亦指,項目日後會供應1至2房戶型為主,相信會吸引小家庭及區內客。另外,由於地皮鄰近香港大學及核心商業區,不排除亦會吸引學生或上班族租客。

地皮現時市場估值約22億至27億元,每呎樓面地價約9000元至1.1萬元。

旺角商業地成本大增扯高「地價」 業界:每呎3103元看似「筍價」 還需計政府設施

受關注的旺角洗衣街「巨無霸」商業地日前由新地以47.29億奪標,每方呎樓面地價約3103元,屬低於市場估值下限價約16%;地價看似「超筍價」,有業界人士分析指,除地價外亦需計額外設施成本,由於該用地不單止是建商業項目的地皮,惟牽涉興建大量政府設施,如社福設施、長者中心及公眾停車場等,料佔項目建築成本約20%;而且目前寫字樓氣氛不景氣,加上項目不可分拆,需要長時間營運,亦推高項目的成本。

有業內人士指,該地每呎樓面地價約3103元看似「超筍價」,惟該地不是單單只建商業項目,而是牽涉大量政府社福設施,如長者日間護理中心,綜合青少年服務中心及幼兒中心,提供約800個車位的公眾停車場;以及4條行人天橋通道接駁附近建築物,包括2條橫跨聯運街連接旺角政府合署及港鐵旺角東站平台、1條連接至現有旺角道行人天橋系統及1條橫跨亞皆老街連接黑布街,而政府物業並不計算總樓面內。

估計整個項目建築成本約每呎8000元,而政府設施料已佔整個項目建築成本約20%,連同其他費用成本並不便宜。而且近年本港商業氣氛不景氣,加上未來寫字樓新樓面供應多,加上項目不可拆售,回本期長等,亦令成本增加,故只有具實力的發展商才做得到。

不可拆售需長時間營運

有測量師預計,近年建築成本增加,在目前市況而言初步項目估計建築成本約每方呎8000元。

另一測量師指出,初步估算興建政府設施佔整個項目建築成本約1成至2成,惟仍要視乎發展商的用料、整體設計、以及交樓標準等因素。

預計2030年落成回本期長

另有測量師指,中標發展商要投入過百億的建築成本和利息支出,低地價亦無可厚非。由於項目需建小巴交匯處,公共停車場補償政府合署的車位,項目本身的商業和社福樓面車位,相信項目要建五層地庫,增加項目長建築期,大大加重項目的發展成本。

項目牽涉大量政府社福設施,料發展商會興建多層地庫以容納公眾停車場等,佔整個項目建築成本約20%,大大增加項目發展成本。

Novo Land sells out with more units to hit market


All 352 homes available at Sun Hung Kai Properties' (0016) phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun were sold out after the sales launched last Saturday, while the secondary market saw weekly transactions fall.

An additional 171 flats will be put on the market on Wednesday, as part of the 180 units revealed in the fourth price list last Saturday, said the developer. The latest batch of units was priced between HK$4.2 million and HK$9.3 million, or at an average price of HK$14,098 per square foot after discounts.

The project so far has been 29 times oversubscribed with a total of 10,691 checks received last week, cashing in at least HK$2 billion. It is the first new residential development project to receive over 10,000 applications after seven months when phase 1B of Novo Land got 12,887 checks last August.

In Tai Kok Tsui, Henderson Land Development's (0012) The Quinn Square Mile sold seven flats yesterday, raking in HK$41.58 million. The most expensive unit was a two-bedroom 382 sq ft flat, sold at HK$8.88 million. The remaining were studios and one-bedroom units ranging between 209 sq ft and 272 sq ft, with prices between HK$4.6 million to HK$6.5 million.

At least 600 deals were recorded in the primary market this month, a property agent said. The agent expects the figure to triple by the end of March to reach over 2,500.

In the secondary market, 17 secondary transactions were recorded in the ten benchmark housing estates over the weekend -- a decrease of 29 percent from last week's 24 deals, according to a property agency.

Whampoa Garden in Hung Hom notched up the most transactions at five.

Tai Koo Shing in Quarry Bay was the only housing estate that had zero transactions over the weekend, after five deals were made during a frenetic weekend late February.

Meanwhile, the number of transactions in Hong Kong's industrial, commercial properties and shops jumped by 27 percent to 273 last month from January, the agency said, marking the highest record in six months. The total considerations also rocketed 77.5 percent to about HK$7.2 billion, the agency remarked.

Cheaper land in Hong Kong: what low-price parcel sales mean to buyers, renters, developers and government coffers

Developers are the only players likely to benefit from sales such as one in Mong Kok on March 1 that fetched 35 per cent less than a pessimistic estimate

The low-water mark for the slab of prime commercial real estate could have an adverse impact on government land revenue, analysts say

The recent sale of a parcel of prime commercial land in Mong Kok for 61 per cent less than the HK$12 billion (US$1.53 billion) some thought it might be worth is likely to mean a more handsome margin for Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), rather than any profound change to the city’s real estate fundamentals, according to analysts.

SHKP prevailed over two other bidders to secure the 124,184 sq ft plot on March 1, winning the right to develop and lease the land for 50 years for HK$4.73 billion. That price is 35 per cent below the HK$7.3 million that a property consultancy estimated as the low end of the land’s value, and 61 per cent below the HK$12 billion it cited as the high end of the range.

Market observers were left to wonder whether the lower-than-expected bid indicates that lower rents or selling prices lie ahead in the property market, as well as what the transaction says about future government land sales.

The deal is “very good for SHKP”, said Raymond Cheng, managing director and head of China/Hong Kong research and property at CGS-CIMB Securities.

“The winning bid could be considered surprisingly low,” Cheng said. “It was a reflection of the current state of the market, particularly the office and retail segments. We expect office property prices to drop by 5 to 10 per cent year on year for 2023.”

SHKP plans to construct a 320-metre building with 1.52 million square feet of space on the site, which will be the “largest landmark office cum shopping centre in Mong Kok”, Raymond Kwok Ping-luen, SHKP’s chairman and managing director, said in a statement released on March 1.

Even given some constraints on construction on the site, the effective costs will end up being between HK$4,000 and HK$5,000 per square foot, “which is still quite cheap”, said CGS-CIMB’s Cheng.

“Our conservative estimate of the initial yield of about 5.5 per cent is quite high versus the average of 3 per cent during normal times,” Cheng said.

The property market will likely have recovered by the time SHKP starts pre-leasing the project, a property agent said.

“The commercial property market is expected to be better than the status quo in a few years,” the agent said. “Rental performance will be better after 2025, when the market is gradually moving from a tenant market to a balanced market.”

Now is a fortuitous time for developers to acquire parcels of land for their projects, according to another international property consultant.

“It is the right time for developers with a good balance sheet and strong holding power such as SHKP to enter the market,” an agent said, as the medium-term outlook is strong.

However, buyers and renters should not count on seeing lower costs trickle down to them, analysts said.

“It does not directly translate to cheaper office prices and rents when the buildings are completed,” the agent said. “Developers are conservative in land biddings as the prevailing development costs are high, including the interest-rate environment and construction costs.”

The current environment means higher risks for developers, given the poor uptake of office space at the moment, Au said, adding that they are being more conservative in their bidding as a way to minimise risk.

SHKP will not only pay $4.7 billion for the site, but will invest a huge amount of capital and effort into developing the second-tallest commercial landmark complex in Kowloon,” said a representative from the developer, which plans to complete the project by 2030.

The tender came in the wake of unsuccessful sales of three other parcels of land – in Lantau Island’s Oyster Bay, Kwun Tong, and Stanley – so far this year, an occurrence that likely convinced the Lands Department to adjust its expectations for the Mong Kok site, a surveyor said.

“Due to lower land costs, [SHKP] may be able to offer a more reasonable rental level to the potential tenants,” the surveyor said. “Their construction costs, including financing costs required for the subject site, are significant. Therefore the developer reflected those in their bidding price.”

The Mong Kok site will be a reference point for other commercial sites to be sold outside the Central business district in 2023/2024, such as a 115,000 sq ft commercial and hotel site in Kai Tak, another agent said. The sale will also factor into land-premium discussions between the government and developers when it comes to converting developers’ sites for commercial use, the agent added.

“As such, this transaction price would cause an adverse impact on government revenue,” the agent said.

The government plans to put 18 more plots – 12 residential, three commercial and three industrial – on the market this year, contributing to a projected HK$85 billion in land premium income, according to Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po.

灣仔商業地 入場門檻低吸引競投

下財政年度 (2023至2024年) 將會推出3幅商業地,其中兩幅位於傳統核心商業地段,包括多年前已經計劃推出的前灣仔警察已婚宿舍用地。該地屬多年來區內罕有的商業用地供應,而且規模是3幅中最細,入場門檻相對低,估計將吸引不少發展商競投,尤其是中型發展商。

前宿舍地 逾30年新供應

前灣仔警察已婚宿舍用地位於傳統商業地段駱克道,附近有不少商廈,亦鄰近世紀香港酒店、比鄰前灣仔警署,目前規劃為「商業 (4)」用地,最高地積比率限制為12倍,總樓面約23.9萬平方呎,規模適中,市場估值18.1億至26.2億元,每呎樓面地價約7,600至1.1萬元。

翻查賣地紀錄,不計及2011年推出的酒店用地,灣仔逾30年來未曾有新商業官地供應,因此是次地皮供應罕有,而且地皮的規模適中,屬於下財年推出的3幅商業地中規模最細,投資額相對較細,入場門檻較低,估計除大型發展商外,可吸引更多財團參戰。

有測量師認為,地皮位置不俗,在沙中綫通車後更具優勢,而且沙中綫通車後,區內未有商業地推出,所以地皮成交價具指標作用。參考上周批出的旺角洗衣街商業地已以低價批出 (每呎樓面地價約3,103元),估計灣仔商業地每呎樓面地價只有7,600元左右。考慮整幅地皮規模及近期投標氣氛後,預測可接獲至少6至8份標書。

此外,上述用地早前已經放寬其建築物高度限制,由80米 (主水平基準上,下同) 增加約37.5%至110米,估計日後建成項目最高樓層可達20多至30層。

伯恩楊建文11.3 統一觀塘年運業權

伯恩光學創辦人楊建文近年積極收購工廈重建,昨日透過強拍以拍賣底價11.28億元,統一觀塘年運工業大廈業權,每呎樓面地價約9,600元。

位於巧明街119121號的年運工業大廈,屬於樓高5層的工廈,樓齡約45年,楊建文家族多年前開始收購,並在2020年初申請強拍,並在去年底正式獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,拍賣底價為11.28億元。

早已收購比鄰業發工廈

楊建文家族近年在區內積極收購重建,除了上述年運工業大廈外,亦早已收購比鄰的業發工業大廈第12期,更曾經向城規會申請合併地盤,並申請放寬地積比率至14.4倍重建,將會建139層高的商廈 (另設5層地庫),其中地庫110樓屬零售餐飲用途,樓上則屬辦公室用途,涉及總樓面約72萬平方呎,屬於區內規模較大型的商廈重建地盤之一。

金鐘力寶中心 享地利商業氣氛濃

東鐵綫過海段通車後,金鐘交通配套更完善,而力寶中心比鄰的金鐘廊料重建,未來區內商業氣氛更佳。

金鐘為傳統商業核心區,商廈林立,以太古地產  (01972) 旗下太古廣場為核心,惟屬大業主長綫收租項目,可供買賣的商廈,主要為力寶中心海富中心統一中心遠東金融中心等。以質素及規模計,力寶中心兩座合共樓面達130萬平方呎,為散業權商廈中最具規模,單位面積由數百平方呎至2萬餘平方呎。

比鄰金鐘廊重建項目

值得一提,是力寶中心太古廣場,有金鐘廊商場連接,而該地皮列入下年度 (2023/24年度) 賣地計劃中,估值高達200億元,整幅地皮佔地9.6萬平方呎,可興建86萬平方呎商業樓面作辦公室及酒店用途,而基座部分需要興建414萬平方呎的商場,提供零售及餐飲,並作連接金鐘道南北兩端各商場的行人天橋。因此日後大廈落成,力寶中心一帶商業氣氛更加理想。

物業處金鐘商廈群正中心,多個出入口連接金鐘廊、太古廣場海富中心等,四通八達。另一邊設有天橋連接花園道,可通往長江集團中心花園道3號。另物業對面為高等法院,故力寶中心亦獲不少律師行租用。

由金鐘港鐵站出口步行至該廈需時約5分鐘,東鐵綫過海段通車後,前往新界、紅磡等極為方便,加上早年通車的南港島綫,金鐘站為多條鐵路綫的轉車站。另大廈地下設有巴士總站、的士站,而物業亦有停車場。

飲食配套方面,基座設兩層零售商舖,設咖啡室、酒樓及西式餐廳等,上班人士亦可前往太古廣場,餐廳選擇多,金鐘區擁多間5星級酒店,設有高級餐廳供商戶作商務午餐。

力寶中心共兩幢寫字樓,1座樓高45層,而2座則樓高47層。大廈在設計上頗獨特,外形凹凸不平,單位大細不一。電梯大堂設於物業高層地下,甚為寬敞,兼設玻璃採光,並提供座位,樓底高環境舒適,絕對為同區散業權商廈中質素最理想。

景觀上,部分單位享全維港海景,前方仍有多幢商廈,中低層單位景觀難免受遮擋,另一面享中半山景觀,同樣開揚舒適。

買賣方面,今年錄得1宗成交,資深投資者正八集團主席廖偉麟,購入金鐘力寶中心一座37樓4至6室,面積3,475平方呎,涉資約7,818萬元,成交呎價約2.25萬元,物業市值呎租約60元。原業主早於2003年約1,130萬元購入3個單位。

工商舖2月268宗註冊 連升兩月

工商舖物業市場持續造好,有代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示,2月份工商舖註冊量共錄268宗,按月微升3.5%,連升兩個月,而註冊金額則錄32.64億元,按月微升約1.9%。

工廈商舖表現佳 升2.4及11.9%

2月份工商舖各板塊註冊宗數個別發展。工廈及商舖表現較佳,註冊量分別按月升約2.4%及11.9%,最新分別錄130及94宗。只有商廈註冊量按月跌約8.3%,僅錄44宗。2月份整體註冊宗數最新報268宗,按月微升3.5%,註冊金額則錄32.64億元,按月微升1.9%。中港全面通關後,註冊量未有迅速反彈,反映投資者仍觀望通關等消息對市場的利好程度。

若按金額劃分,2月份註冊量最多的為500萬元或以下物業,共錄142宗,按月上升約6%。逾500萬元以上至1,000萬元的物業,共錄48宗,按月升約2.1%。價值1,000萬元以上至2,000萬元的物業錄得37宗登記,按月下跌9.8%。至於2,000萬元以上至5,000萬的註冊則錄得29宗,按月增加11.5%。在逾億元買賣註冊成交方面,月內錄得4宗,其中商廈及舖位物業註冊分別有1宗及3宗,商廈包括有中環皇后大道中9號1403室,成交價為1.05億元。商舖則包括有佐敦大觀樓地下及1至3樓多個舖位以及西營盤昌寧大廈地下及1樓共8個舖位,作價分別為1.46億元及1.17億元。

該行代理表示,雖然中港全面通關已接近一個月,但今年首兩個月的工商舖註冊數字未見迅速反彈,反映投資者仍觀望通關等消息對市場的利好程度。不過,隨着「口罩令」撤銷,香港全面復常,本地市民的消費信心可望恢復,再加上目前內地來港旅客顯著回升,本港的私人消費開支將會反彈,並帶動本港的經濟在今年步入復甦。投資者的信心會逐步恢復,預料工商舖成交會在未來繼續增加。

九龍城2地待推 區內勢變天

九龍城未來勢變天,下年度 (2023/24年度) 賣地計劃,市建局將推出3個重建項目,當中兩個位於九龍城,分別為盛德街/馬頭涌道項目,以及啟德道/沙浦道項目,各提供640伙及810伙,市場估值最高共73億元。

六福70萬租羅素街8號 奢侈品牌重返核心區 通關後首宗

香港今年2月起全面通關,加上政府本月正式宣布解除口罩令,經濟及旅遊業復常,零售商對後市恢復信心,開始租用核心區地舖。昔日全球最貴舖租地段銅鑼灣羅素街錄得長租成交,連鎖珠寶金行六福 (00590) 落實承租羅素街的英皇鐘錶珠寶中心地下一個面積逾3000方呎地舖,月租約70萬元,成為通關後首宗奢侈品牌租用全港主要零售區地舖的個案。

據了解,六福最新承租銅鑼灣羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心地下3及5號舖,建築面積3068方呎,舖位面向時代廣場,成交月租約70萬元,呎租約228元,為銅鑼灣、中環、尖沙咀及旺角在全面通關後,首度有珠寶金行此類奢侈品零售商承租街舖,反映承租能力較高的商戶開始陸續重返核心零售區。

呎租228 高位插74.6%

上述舖位已丟空5個月,一直在市場上放租,但並無放租的意向價,由租戶出價洽租。市場人士表示,在今年1月香港與內地恢復有限度通關後,已有零售商洽租上址,出價40萬至60萬元,惟仍遭業主拒絕,最終由六福成功租得舖位。

是次租出的地舖,上一手租戶為另一連鎖珠寶金行周大福 (01929),在2019年底即新冠病毒爆發前,以每月130萬元租用,呎租約424元,直至去年10月租約期滿撤出,令此舖位於過去十多年來首度丟空待租。該舖歷來最高租金時期,為2014年由英皇鐘錶珠寶 (00887) 以每月276萬元租用作為名錶卡地亞 (Cartier)專門店,現租金較9年前大跌206萬元或74.6%。

事實上,本港核心零售區仍有一定數量的舖位空置,租金低位徘徊,為個別零售商戶進駐一線地段帶來契機。資料顯示,在2010至2019年零售業「正常時期」,六福一直未能夠成功租得任何位於羅素街的地舖經營,只有在周邊波斯富街及利園山道開店,是次料屬首度成功進駐銅鑼灣最一線位置。

藥妝店15萬租麗園大廈舖

羅素街近日亦錄得另一宗舖位租賃成交,為羅素街59至61號麗園大廈地下B6號舖,建築面積約350方呎,原本在2021年1月獲健康食品店承租兩年,月租20萬元,呎租約571元。不過,該健康食品店去年3月在第五波疫情下突然提早近一年結業。

其後該舖位分別由口罩店及利是封店短租,月租由7萬至8萬元,而長租叫價一直維持原本舊租20萬元。市場消息指出,舖位剛獲藥妝店租用,月租約15萬元,呎租約429元,租金較2年前長租租金低5萬元或25%。

此舖2018年曾由一家藥妝店租用,當年月租曾達45萬元,呎租1286元,可見目前同一行業付出的租金仍較疫前低66.7%。

Tai Po luxury homes go on sale


Villa Lucca, a completed luxury residential project in Tai Po developed by Hysan Development (0014) and HKR International (0480), will put 53 homes up for sale via tender on Saturday.

The units include 34 standard flats, 6 penthouses with rooftops and 11 ground-floor flats with gardens, with areas ranging from 1,028 to 2,745 square feet. There are also two five-bedroom detached mansions with ares of 3,322 and 3,245 sq ft respectively.

In Kwun Tong, Lai Sun Development's (0488) Bal Residence may kick off sales this week. The first batch will consist of 56 flats with an average discounted price of HK$19,554 per sq ft. The cheapest option is a one-bedroom unit priced at HK$5.81 million after the discount.

In Yuen Long, Star Group (1560) unveiled the first price list of After The Rain, which offers 68 flats at an average price of HK$14,491 per sq ft after discounts.

And in Tseung Kwan O, Kowloon Development (0034) will add 26 flats for sale at Manor Hill on Saturday. The discounted prices for these units range from HK$5.5 million to HK$6 million or HK$19,354 to HK$20,882 per sq ft.

In other news, many homes to be sold by Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) are priced under HK$10 million and would benefit from the cut in stamp duty for first-time home buyers, Morgan Stanley said, while maintaining its buy rating for the developer with a target price of HK$122.

Mortgage rates in Hong Kong are expected to increase this year with double stamp duty hurting demand. As a result, the current rebound in property prices is predicted to be temporary, and it is expected that the prices will decline by 5 percent in 2023, according to Bloomberg.

中環美國銀行中心每呎3.83萬交吉易手 疫市以來新高 15年升值3倍

中港兩地通關後,商廈市場漸活躍,中環美國銀行中心錄1宗成交,一個面積約1300方呎單位,以5000萬易手,平均呎價約38373元易手,屬3年以來、即疫市後新高,買家承接單位自用。

上址為美國銀行中心2903室,建築面積約1303方呎,以5000萬易手,由用家承接,原業主於2007年2月以1250萬購入,持貨15年,帳面獲利3750萬,物業升值3倍。該單位望海景,現址交吉,新買家為用家,以「買物業」形式承接,須付相等於樓價4.25%的印花稅。

面積約1303方呎

業內人士分析,該單位易手呎價38373元,為過去3年來該廈新高,自從2020年疫市以來,該廈僅錄6宗成交,最新成交呎價創新高,其餘5宗呎價由24296元至3.7萬,對上1宗於2021年11月錄得,該廈1108至9室,建築面積1410方呎,以5217萬成交,平均呎價3.7萬,2020年間,該廈錄3宗成交,每呎介乎24296元至28800元,其中香港美國商會沽售會址最矚目,19樓4、7及13室,建築面積約5968方呎,涉資1.45億,平均每呎24296元,創下近年來新低,較高峰期成交呎價普遍逾5萬,跌足50%。

投資者向香港美國商會低價購入單位,一直以每呎65元放租,未覓得租客,最終租金一減再減,在交吉一年後,以每月約22萬租出,平均每呎37元,回報只有1.8厘。該單位曾由香港美國商會自用,於1996年以5460.72萬購入。

用家斥5000萬承接

該廈於2019年3月創下新高呎價紀錄,涉及2807及08室,建築面積2659方呎,以逾1.43億易手,平均每呎高達5.38萬;最新呎價較高位跌23%,不過,比較低位時呎價2.43萬,上升逾57%。

另外,中環「醫生大廈」金利豐中心再錄1宗承租,該廈3樓,建築面積約1958方呎,以每呎約60元租出,月租約11.748萬。該廈7樓及8樓,建築面積各約1982方呎,早前以每呎62元租出,每層月租12.3萬,亦是金利豐集團於去年第3季收回該廈後首錄承租,可見在兩地通關後,商廈租賃逐漸回暖。

美國銀行中心一個面積約1300方呎的單位,以每呎3.83萬易手,為疫市以來新高價,不過,與高峰期呎價普遍逾5萬,仍然相差約23%。

前灣仔已婚警察宿舍商地 下財年推

隨東鐵綫過海段通車,灣仔的發展潛力進一步提升,下個財政年度區內將會推出前灣仔已婚警察宿舍用地,總樓面涉約23.9萬平方呎。計入前述用地,目前區內有至少12個商業重建項目,總樓面面積涉逾510萬平方呎。

樓面23.9萬呎 估值18億至26

相隔多年,灣仔再有新商地推出。政府近日公布,將會推出位於駱克道219號至227號,即前灣仔已婚警察宿舍的商業地。地皮比鄰前灣仔警署,現規劃為「商業 (4)」用地,地盤面積約19,881平方呎,最高地積比率限制為12倍,總樓面約238,572平方呎,市場估值約18.1億至26.2億元,每呎樓面地價約7,600至1.1萬元。事實上,因地皮所牽涉的《灣仔分區規劃大綱圖》早前受到司法覆核影響,所以一度拖延多年至今才推出。鑑於地皮規模不大,投資額較細,料可以吸引各類發展商投標。

值得一提的是,政府早年曾計劃將地皮前方的前灣仔警署用地與上述已婚宿舍一併出售,發展成一個商業及酒店項目。不過,考慮到警署屬於二級歷史建築,日後不可重建,其用地的規劃意向主要是保存及活化舊警署,以作酒店、商業、社區及/或文化等用途。

3政府大樓 重建會展酒店甲廈

另一潛在的大型商業供應要數到位於灣仔北的3座政府大樓項目,包括灣仔政府大樓、稅務大樓、入境事務大樓,及港灣消防局用地,早前已落實重建為會展設施、酒店和甲級寫字樓等。根據區議會文件,上述組成的重建地盤面積166,239平方呎,以地積比率15倍重建,總樓面高達約249.4萬平方呎,料重建後樓高可達52層,其中最低10層將發展為會議及展覽樓面,涉約92.6萬平方呎,而中間的27層則重建為甲級商廈,總樓面達97萬平方呎。而項目最高15層則作為酒店用途,涉約57萬平方呎總樓面,提供近500間客房。

由於灣仔的商業官地供應不多,發展商主要靠收購區內舊樓,有重建項目已經陸續在今年竣工,包括太古 (01972) 旗下的太古廣場六座,總樓面約21.8萬平方呎,前身為寶華大廈等舊樓。此外,本地老牌家族永倫集團去年就灣仔謝斐道52至58號金鐘大廈申請強拍,項目當時市值約8.43億元。

全面通關 有利商廈需求增

據一間外資代理行近日發表的香港地產市場報告,受農曆新年的傳統淡季影響,截至今年1月底,整體市場空置率上升至12.2%,當中中環和灣仔/銅鑼灣的空置率分別微升至8.9%和10.3%,而港島東的空置率則下跌至11%。

凱利商廈全層 叫價4000

同時,在各主要分區市場中,中環及灣仔/銅鑼灣租金均下跌0.2%,而尖沙咀租金保持平穩。該行指,近期接獲來自保險及金融機構的租賃查詢增加,其業務料將受內地開關所帶動,估計本地的寫字樓市場租賃交投將於今年下半年顯著改善。

另一方面,有業主看準市場需求,放售灣仔凱利商業大廈中層全層,意向價約4,000萬元。有代理指,是次獨家放售單位位於灣仔摩利臣山道70至74號凱利商業大廈12樓全層,面積約3,468平方呎,意向價約4,000萬元,每呎叫價約11,534元。

該單位亦歡迎企業洽租,意向呎租約30元。據了解,原業主於2014年以約3,000萬元購入單位,一直持有物業自用至今。

Office supply at 23-year-high


Private office completions in Hong Kong surged to a 23-year high last year.

New built offices jumped by more than four times to 351,300 square meters in 2022, of which Grade-A offices accounted for 299,300 sq m, according to the data from the Rating and Valuation Department.

The office rental index slid by 0.7 percent month-on-month in January but rents of Grade-A offices in Sheung Wan and Central rose 1.6 percent.

The data came as Bloomberg said BNP Paribas intends to move the majority of its Hong Kong staff out of the Central business district as the lender looks to cut costs and adjust to the post-Covid era.

The bank's asset management business is already located in Lincoln House at Taikoo Place in Quarry Bay.

It currently occupies four floors in Two International Finance Centre, according to its website.

The move is set to take place as soon as next year and some bankers may remain in the Central office, it added.

BNP Paribas to shift most staff from Two International Finance Centre to Taikoo Place in cost-cutting move

BNP Paribas SA plans to move the majority of its Hong Kong staff out of offices in the city’s central business district as the lender looks to cut costs and adjust to the post-Covid era, according to people familiar with the matter.  

The French lender is weighing shifting nearly all of its staff in Two International Finance Centre, a prestigious complex in a coveted location, to offices in Taikoo Place on the east side of Hong Kong Island, the people said. The move is set to happen as soon as next year, and some bankers may stay behind in the Central building, the people said. 

BNP Paribas’ asset management business is already based in Lincoln House of Taikoo Place, according to its website. It currently has four floors in Two International Finance Centre, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. 

“The Hong Kong financial industry has entered a new phase of workspace transformation, and we have reassessed our operations post pandemic and taken the opportunity to shift to a more dynamic smart workspace which allows greater collaboration and mobility,” a spokesperson for BNP Paribas said in response to a Bloomberg News query. 

The move comes as financial institutions are looking to trim costs by cutting staff globally amid persistent inflation and a slowdown in dealmaking. Citigroup Inc. is set to join Wall Street rivals JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in cutting jobs, Bloomberg News has reported. 

A rise in Hong Kong’s office vacancy rates and falling rents during the pandemic has weighed on the city’s premier properties. Jefferies Financial Group Inc. moved from billionaire Li Ka-shing’s skyscraper in Hong Kong’s Central district to Two International Finance Centre in December. The building is also home to the regional offices of financial firms including UBS Group AG. 

Comprising 4.5 million square feet, International Finance Centre features more than 200 stores and office space as well as a Four Seasons hotel, its website shows. The complex is a collaboration between developers Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. and Henderson Land Development Co. and utility company Hong Kong & China Gas Co., according to the website.

$334m luxury deals lift market

Three luxury homes were sold in the primary market yesterday for a total of HK$334 million.

In Tai Tam, Chinachem sold a 2,773-square-foot four-bedroom home at Redhill Peninsula for HK$90 million, the first tender transaction at the luxury low-rise residential development since November 2021.

In Ho Man Tin, Sino Land's and CLP's (0002) St George's Mansions sold a 2,140-sq-ft four-bedroom flat for HK$119 million or HK$55,607 per sq ft, both records for standard units in the project.

And in Kai Tai, Longfor's (0960) Upper River Bank sold a 2,567-sq-ft duplex four-bedroom unit for HK$125 million or HK$48,695 per sq ft, also a record for the project.

Meanwhile, the first price list of Chinachem's In One phase 1B atop Ho Man Tin MTR Station will be revealed next week, offering a minimum of 50 flats.

Show apartments open next week and the first batch of sales will commence within the month.

Phase 1B offers 183 one- to four-bedroom flats with areas ranging from 336 to 1,234 sq ft.

In Lam Tin, Wheelock Properties will launch phase 3B at Koko Hills by the end of this month, featuring 444 flats.

This phase will primarily consist of small flats, with 60 percent offering harbor views.

After two rounds of sales, phase 3A - Koko Rosso - has sold a total of 306 flats, bringing in about HK$2.43 billion in revenue.

In Tuen Mun, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) sold 88 out of 171 flats in phase 2B of Novo Land yesterday. One customer purchased two apartments for approximately HK$13 million.

In the same district, phase 2 of Grand Jeté, CK Asset's (1113) project with SHKP, will unveil the first price list of at least 80 flats next week.

Around 60 percent of the apartments on the first price list consist of one-bedroom units. These units will be priced according to market rates and are anticipated to be available for sale within the month.

Sun Hung Kai Properties poised to sell all 171 flats in latest batch at Tuen Mun project as life returns to Hong Kong housing market

Nearly 10,000 potential buyers have registered an interest in the 171 flats available in the second batch of Phase 2B of the Novo Land project, meaning about 58 people will compete for each unit

Hong Kong’s residential property market appears to be on an upswing, with developers such as SHKP and Wheelock Properties achieving strong sales in their respective projects in recent weeks

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) looked set for another sell-out at its Novo Land project in Tuen Mun as life returns to Hong Kong’s housing market after almost three years of subdued demand under Covid-19 restrictions.

Nearly 10,000 potential buyers have registered an interest in the 171 flats available in the second batch of Phase 2B of the project in the New Territories, according to SHKP, which means about 58 people are competing for each unit.

As of 9:10pm on Wednesday, some five hours after sales formally opened, 165 units had found buyers, according to agents.

During the weekend, Hong Kong’s most valuable developer sold all 352 units on offer at the development.

Hong Kong’s residential property market appears to be on an upswing, with developers such as SHKP and Wheelock Properties achieving strong sales in their respective projects in recent weeks.

The improvement in the property market comes after Hong Kong fully reopened its border with mainland China. The government has also broadened the set of buyers exempted from paying ad valorem stamp duty as it extends tax concessions to buyers of units worth less than HK$10 million.

“Both have helped the property market, but opening the borders is more important as it has a very positive impact on market sentiment and the business environment,” a property agent said.

With Hong Kong and Beijing abandoning almost all their Covid-19 containment curbs, buyers and investors are motivated to snap up new flats as they anticipate an economic recovery, which in turn is likely to boost demand for homes.

SHKP said its latest batch of one- to three-bedroom flats have sizes ranging from 277 to 678 square feet. They are priced between HK$4.232 million (US$539,000) and HK$9.366 million, or an average of HK$14,098 per square foot.

Cash buyers could be entitled to discounts of as much as 15 per cent as well as a furniture package bonus, according to SHKP.

“As a new home, the prices of the units are relatively cheap. The stamp duty cut is pushing buyers to make decisions fast,” another agent said. “It’s proving to be quite popular among young homebuyers.”

The project’s location – it is part of the Northern Metropolis plan that aims to create new towns close to the border with mainland China – also adds value to the flats, the agent said.

Not all analysts are convinced the property market is on a path to recovery.

Although home prices have risen – a foreign property agency’s mass residential capital value index gained 2.6 per cent in the last two months – the number of transactions has remained low since January, according to the agency.

“The reopening of the economy at the turn of the year was a timely event to help release pent-up demand to the market. However, once the demand is digested, turnover will likely return to a low level,” an agent said.

In January, 3,051 residential transactions were recorded, 18.7 per cent lower than the monthly average of 3,755 in 2022. Demand from non-local buyers was also low, accounting for only 34 transactions, far lower than the monthly average of 53 last year, the agency said.

“The rising home prices since entering 2023 may not last,” the agent said.

差估署:商廈去年落成量378萬呎 創過去23年來新高甲廈佔85%

近年寫字樓供應量處於高水平,差餉物業估價署數字顯示,2022年寫字樓落成量高達378萬方呎,按年急升4倍,創23年來新高,其中並以甲廈比例最多,佔整體的85%。

差餉物業估價署公布的臨時數字顯示,2022年商廈落成量為378.15萬,比較2021年的74.9萬方呎,多出約303.25萬方呎,幅度為4倍,去年落成量更是過去23年來最高,對上一個高位為1999年約456.63萬方呎。去年寫字樓落成量佔最多類別為甲級商廈,共提供樓面約322.17萬方呎,佔整體比例約85.2%。而截至2023年1月的商廈落成量,暫時只有約1.72萬方呎。

較2021年增4

今年1月整體商廈租金指數報226.9點,按月跌約0.7%,按年更下跌約1.8%,甲廈租金指數報229.8點,按月跌約0.48%,按年跌約1.6%。港島區表現不俗,上環及中區租金指數報271.1點,按月升約1.6%,較去年同期升約0.15%。灣仔及銅鑼灣租金指數報223.5點,按月升約2.1%,連升兩個月,不過,按年則回落約1.6%;尖沙嘴表現差,該區指數報190.9點,按月下跌約2.9%,較去年同期急挫約4.9%。

商廈租金按年跌約1.8%

有代理表示,商廈由土地規劃,賣地及落成,歷時長達10年,2012年經濟暢旺,政府規劃更多商廈地皮,新世界於2017年連奪長沙灣3幅商貿地,其中去年落成的長沙灣南商金融創新中心,當時每呎樓面地價7478元;目前市場吹淡風,旺角洗衣街商業地每呎樓面地價僅3103元。

有測量師表示,去年市場有重磅甲廈落成,包括啟德 AIRSIDE,黃竹坑的 Landmark South 等等,對租金亦構成壓力。

今年1月,上環及中區租金指數報271.1點,按月升約1.6%,亦較去年同期升約0.15%。尖沙嘴報190.9點,按月跌約2.9%,較去年同期急挫約4.9%。

Stamp duty revenue soars 66pc


Hong Kong's stamp duty revenues soared 66 percent month-on-month to HK$556.2 million in February, according to the data from the Inland Revenue Department.

There were 234 property transactions, 76 more than the number in January, resulting in a 48 percent increase.

Out of the three stamp duties - special stamp duty, buyer's stamp duty, and double stamp duty - the SSD saw the largest surge.

The revenue from SSD soared 93 percent compared to HK$180 million and the number of transactions also jumped by 79 percent to 61 transactions.

In the primary market, Chinachem's In One atop the Ho Man Tin MTR station uploaded its sales brochure yesterday and plan to release its first price list next week.

The developer also plans to unveil the show flats next week. The first batch of units, which consists of no less than 50 one- to three-bedroom units, is expected to go on sale this month.

The project is equipped with three designated lifts, which access the concourse of Ho Man Tin Station directly.

Grand Victoria II in Cheung Sha Wan, co-developed by Sino Land (0083) and others, will put 117 units on the market tomorrow, including 59 on price lists and 58 via tender.

The units offered for sale on price lists cover a range of studio to three-bedroom units, with a discounted price of HK$23,017 to HK$30,943 per sq ft.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) will put 189 flats at phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun on sale on Sunday, of which around 60 percent are priced under HK$6 million after discounts.

Also in Tuen Mun, Grand Jeté, jointly developed by CK Asset (1113) and SHKP, has released the sales brochure for Phase 2 which has 400 flats.

Receivers of a luxury property on The Peak linked to top Evergrande executive put the asset up for sale

Two property agencies have been appointed as sole co-agents to sell the ultra-luxury property on The Peak

The mansion being put on the market is 10B, Black’s Link, which could be valued at over HK$800 million

Receivers of a Hong Kong luxury property owned by a company linked to top China Evergrande executive have put the asset on The Peak up for sale in an attempt to recover unpaid bills.

Two property agencies have been appointed as sole co-agents to sell the ultra-luxury property on The Peak, they said in a joint statement on Thursday.

The mansion being put on the market is 10B, Black’s Link, which could be valued at over HK$800 million (US$101.9 million) given comparable properties on The Peak are valued at HK$140,000 to HK$150,000 per square foot, a source familiar with the sale process said.

It is owned by Better Vision, whose director is Tan Haijun, according to a companies search. Tan is also the director of Giant Hill, which owns 10C and 10E, Black’s Link, according to Land Registry data. Hui Ka-yan, Evergrande’s founder and chairman, resigned as a director of Giant Hill on July 30,2021. On the same day, Tan Haijun was appointed as Giant Hill’s director.

Dozens of potential buyers have inquired about the house, of which over 60 per cent are local ultra-rich families and tycoons, and around 30 per cent are from the mainland, the agents said.

A decision on the winning bidder is expected in the second half of March.

“Thanks to the Hong Kong-mainland border’s reopening and the ensuing economic recovery, prospects in the luxury property market are looking good,” an agent said. “Expectation that US interest rates will be peaking around midyear also helps.”

Some 96 residential property transactions worth more than HK$50 million were recorded in the first two months of this year, of which 14 deals were mansions, according to the property agency.

Hui, whose wealth has shrunk from US$9.1 billion to US$3 billion as estimated by Forbes, has put some of his personal assets on sale to repay Evergrande’s debt. The company’s total liabilities are estimated at more than US$300 billion.

Three adjoining mansions of up to 5,400 square feet each at 10 Black’s Lane on The Peak in Hong Kong were remortgaged in late 2021 for HK$1.1 billion.

Hui’s business empire spans a diverse range of businesses including banking, bottled water, real estate, electric cars, wealth management and even a football club.

Hong Kong property: border reopening not quite the magic bullet hoped for, property agency report suggests

Transactions involving buyers from outside Hong Kong were still dramatically lower in January than in pre-pandemic times, a property agency’s data shows

Interest from Hongkongers looking to buy property in the mainland cities of the bay area has increased markedly since the reopening, however

The reopening of the border with mainland China failed to boost Hong Kong’s beleaguered property market as much as had been anticipated, according to a report released by a property agency on Wednesday.

The report showed that 3,051 homes changed hands in January, almost a fifth lower than the monthly average of 3,755 seen in 2022.

Transactions involving buyers from outside Hong Kong were particularly tepid. Just 34 such transactions – signified by payment of Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) – were recorded in January, below last year’s average of 53 and a far cry from pre-pandemic levels.

“The average monthly transaction volume involving BSD was 294 in 2018 and 178 in 2019, so it’s still significantly below the pre-Covid level,” an agent said.

In 2019, the year before the coronavirus broke out, mainland Chinese buyers accounted for 8.4 per cent of overall home sales in Hong Kong, according to data compiled by another property agency.

But annual transactions involving buyers who were non-permanent residents or non-domiciled companies slumped by about three quarters under the strict travelling restrictions introduced during the pandemic, according to Inland Revenue Department statistics cited by the agency.

The resumption of cross-border travel had been seen by industry watchers as the key to reviving Hong Kong’s weakened property market, which saw residential transactions plummet 39 per cent year on year to 45,050 last year, the lowest level since record-keeping began in 1997.

Hong Kong’s government last month announced it would cut stamp duty for first home buyers to spur demand, the latest in a slew of easing measures aimed at bringing the housing market back to life.

Instead of the anticipated rush of mainlanders across the newly opened border to buy Hong Kong property, the reverse appears to have happened.

Inquiries from Hongkongers looking into property projects in the mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area have shot up. Agents have resumed marketing these developments in Hong Kong, luring buyers to attend home viewing tours in mainland China.

Each tour might draw about 20 to 30 potential buyers from Hong Kong, several agents told the Post.

“We’ve seen enquiries from Hong Kong buyers asking about homes in the Greater Bay Area has surged several-fold from before [the cross-border opening],” an agent said.

“I had expected an improvement in the market with the resumption of cross-border travel and recovery of the economy, no matter whether it’s the Hong Kong market or the mainland market.”

The Greater Bay Area includes Hong Kong, Macau, and nine mainland cities in Guangdong province: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing.

氣氛轉好 商廈買賣交投增

全面通關後,整體商廈買賣氣氛轉好,而核心區甲廈交投亦稍增,個別造價亦理想。

據一間代理行資料顯示,2月份共錄得約273宗工商舖買賣成交,按月上升約26%,亦是近半年以來單月新高。寫字樓市場同樣呈價量齊升之勢。2月份商廈成交宗數約42宗,按月微升約5%;金額則錄得約23.74億元,較上月大幅攀升約1.6倍。當中全幢商廈因投資方向靈活備受追捧,消息指,觀塘鴻圖道73至75號 KOHO 全幢,總面積約203,829平方呎,作價約17億元易手,平均呎價約8,340元。

中環美國銀行中心呎售3.84 近年高位

傳統核心區甲廈成交稍增,個別成交造價理想,消息指出,中環美國銀行中心高層03室,面積約1,303平方呎,以約5,000萬元成交,呎價高見約3.84萬元。疫情以來,該廈成交偏低,2020年初該廈1單位成交,呎價更曾低見2.88萬元,按最新成交價計,屬近年該廈呎價新高。

單位原業主於2006年以約1,250萬元購入,持貨17年轉手,獲利約3,750萬元,升值約3倍。

另外,金鐘海富中心一座中高層19室,面積約757平方呎,以約1,460萬元易手,呎價約1.93萬元。原業主於2015年斥資約1,700萬元購入,持貨8年,帳面損手約240萬元,貶值14.1%。

金鐘指標商廈力寶中心錄得成交,資深投資者正八集團主席廖偉麟,購入力寶中心一座37樓4至6室,面積約3,475平方呎,涉資約7,818萬元,成交呎價約2.25萬元,物業市值呎租約60元。原業主早於2003年約1,130萬元購入3個單位。

核心區優質盤供應少 後市看俏

至於甲廈新盤,銷情同樣不錯,黃竹坑甲廈新盤宏基匯連錄多宗成交,其中23樓全層,面積約6,178平方呎,以每呎約1.6萬元易手,涉資約9,885萬元;另物業1105室,面積約801平方呎,以每呎約1.28萬元易手,涉資約1,025萬元。翻查資料,宏基資本於2017年以約14.8億元,購入區內標達中心全幢工廈。宏基匯樓高27層,總樓面約10.7萬平方呎。

分析指,中港全面通關後,整體工商舖買賣亦轉好,其中以商舖市場反應最快,核心區錄得多宗大額買賣成交。至於商廈市場方面,疫情期間甲廈成交偏少,租售價亦明顯調整,主因通關下租務淡靜。如今全面通關,個別機構重新擴充,令甲廈重獲留意,投資者入市興趣亦加快,特別核心區優質單位供應始終少,料交投持續向好。

奢侈品迎通關 旗艦店重現核心區

Swatch百萬租皇后大道中4層舖 設Omega展館

中港全面通關,帶動旗艦店重新出現核心區,早前中環皇后大道中54至56號豐樂行4層約8,735呎舖,以100萬元租出。消息指,新租客為Swatch group,料作旗下名錶Omega旗艦店。另外,近日珠寶店有所擴充,業界指通關後奢侈品亦加快租務決定,預計今年租務市況轉旺,舖租有望從低位反彈約1成。

較早前,中環皇后大道中54至56號豐樂行多層舖租出,物業地下至3樓,面積合共約8,735平方呎,以每月約100萬元租出。物業位於皇后大道中的正中段,人流非常暢旺,比鄰Zara複式旗艦店。豐樂行由老牌業主持有,數年前業主進行重建,並於2020年落成。物業樓高28層,總樓面面積3.3萬平方呎,而地下至3樓為商舖部分。

消息指,是次新租客為國際大型連鎮鐘錶集團Swatch Group,該集團擁多個名錶品牌如浪琴、雷達錶等,過往亦活躍租舖,惟疫情期間大幅收縮。消息人士指,是次集團租用,料作旗下歐米茄 (Omega) 之用。

六福珠寶洽租 栢麗大道舖

據了解,該品牌目前亦有租用同區中建大廈地下,是次預租豐樂行,因看中物業樓面大,可打造具氣派的旗艦店。據悉,在4層樓面中,除了銷售名錶外,更會預留部分樓面作展覽館,介紹品牌故事及展示經典款式等,增加體驗成分,以吸引更多客人前來。是次亦屬疫情以來,罕見奢侈品租用多層舖位打造旗艦店。

中港全面通關後,核心區租務加快,初期以藥房租務較多,最近漸見奢侈品重新落戶,如六福珠寶早前承租,銅鑼灣羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心地下3及5號舖,面積約3,068平方呎,月租約70萬元,呎租約228元,亦為通關後,核心區首宗珠寶租用核心區舖位。市場消息指,六福近期亦有物色其他核心區舖位,包括正洽租尖沙咀栢麗購物大道舖,可見心態轉為積極。

通關兩月 核心區錄10租務

1月初中港初步通關,至今約兩個月,核心區已先後錄得十多宗商舖租務成交,主要為本地藥房,包括租尖沙咀廣東道、海防道及旺角西洋菜南街,當中如藥房1月以約30萬租廣東道86至98號地下,近日已極速開業迎接旅客。

有外資代理行代理指,通關後普遍零售商對市況感樂觀,深信零售銷售業務將遠比疫情期間理想。該代理指首階段仍以本地藥房落戶為主,而國際奢侈品牌,則因需時觀察,並需要獲總部批准增分店,落實時間不及本地商戶快,但近期亦轉正面,加快查詢及洽商。代理指出,疫情3年多,核心區舖租累跌4成,對零售商來說,租舖成本降低,故感一定興趣,預計計今年舖位租金可從低位反彈約1成。

名店核心區有選擇 租金難大升

市況復常,商舖租務市場同樣復甦,惟核心區空置舖位仍多,消化需時,相信舖位租金仍處於較低水平。

近兩個月旅客重返香港,特別過往支撑本港旅遊業及零售業的內地客逐步訪港,帶旺本地市況。人數上,據入境處數字顯示,前日 (3月8日),訪港內地客數字達50,889人,較通關初期約2萬餘人明顯增多,而上星期六 (3月4日),內地訪港人數更高見86,811人。

訪港人數大增,與封關期間零旅客,完全兩個世界。旅遊業正在穩步復甦,加上本港撤銷口罩令等,相信可帶動消費市場進一步轉好。

大量吉舖 等待長租客吸納

近期漸見零售商重新租舖,相信個案會持續增加。不過,租金方面則預計難大幅反彈,主因核心區吉舖仍甚多。據統計數字顯示,去年尾4大核心區,包括中環、銅鑼灣、旺角及尖沙咀,空置率分別為8%、14.5%、17.1%及20.3%,即使近期租務增加,本港主要街道如彌敦道、西洋菜南街,仍有大量吉舖、短租舖,正在等待長租客吸納,要消化仍然需時。

至於租金方面,按近期多宗核心區舖位租務成交,涉及月租普遍在30萬元起,至百萬元以下,涉及銀碼不算大。

此外,從成交租金計,即使比起疫情期間的短租有一定升幅,若與零售高峰期相比,仍跌約6至7成以上,反映目前吉舖數量偏高,租客選擇亦較多,業主亦不敢大幅提價,故相信租務增加同時,租金仍會處於偏低水平。

翠華重返中環 35萬租荊威廣場舖

租務氣氛向好,不同商戶亦趁機擴充。消息指,翠華茶餐廳以每月35萬元,重新落戶中環威靈頓街。

市場消息指,中環威靈頓街1號荊威廣場高層地下舖位,面積約5,089平方呎,以每月約35萬元租出。據了解,新租客為本港知名茶餐廳品牌翠華,該集團近年放棄多間分店,消息稱是次集團租用中環店,將以全新餐飲概念配合,帶來新意。

租金回落 餐飲租二綫舖增

翻查資料,翠華自1998年,租用中環威靈頓街華商會所大廈3層,涉及約8,160平方呎,打造集團旗艦店,由於該舖位處蘭桂坊,鄰近夜店,生意非常理想。該舖高峰期月租達230萬元,及後受疫情衝擊,翠率於2020年不續租。2021年譚仔三哥米綫以45萬元租用該舖,同年開業至今。如今翠華以35萬租荊威廣場舖,重返中環。

荊威廣場地下、地庫、1至2樓,面積合共約2萬平方呎,曾由渣打銀行租用多年,而一家內地財團,於2019年以310萬元租用舖位,開設夜店,惟僅經營一段短時間便結業。期間物業一直交吉,現業主決定把樓層分拆招租,以吸引更多租客。

整體商舖空置率仍高,在租金回落後,近年核心區二綫地段,餐飲租舖的個案有所增加,如最近尖沙咀加連威老道愛賓商業大廈地庫舖位,面積逾3,000平方呎,近日獲日式人氣餐廳壽司郎租用,現正進行裝修。

恒大許家印山頂銀主盤招標市場估值8.8億

恒大創辦人許家印持有的山頂布力徑一幢洋房早前已被銀行接管,淪為銀主盤,最新中原及世邦魏理仕已被委託為聯合獨家代理出售該大宅。目前物業市場估值約8.8億,每呎估價約17.6萬。

接獲數10組買家查詢

一間本地代理行及一間外資代理行表示,是次大宅將按現狀交吉出售,並計畫於3月下旬選定買家。他們表示至今已接獲數十組買家查詢,當中超過6成屬本地老牌家族及超級富豪,約3成為內地客。

外資代理行代理表示,由於內地與香港兩地通關,經濟逐步復常,加上美國加息估計將近見頂,豪宅市場可看高一綫。

本地代理行代理表示,自本港與內地通關後市況回暖,豪宅成交活躍,豪宅買家對後市信心加強,加上新一份財政預算案重啟投資移民,能引進資金、人才和企業,令市場觀望氣氛消散,豪宅交投升溫。是次大宅位於罕有獨立地段,亦為傳統名門望族聚居地,是次放盤備受市場關注。今年首2個月,全港一二手5000萬以上成交錄得約96宗,當中洋房成交佔14宗。

Brisk sales continue at Novo Land


Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) sold 172 of 189 units at Novo Land phase 2B in Tuen Mun in the third batch yesterday.

This round of sales includes 52 one-bedroom flats, 116 two-bedroom flats and 21 three-bedroom flats, with an area of 282 to 678 square feet.

The discounted prices range from HK$4.29 million to HK$9.48 million, or HK$13,476 to HK$15,893 per square foot.

The price list of 189 units gathered a total of 9,703 checks, resulting in an oversubscription of 50 times. A single buyer was able to acquire a one-bedroom unit worth HK$4.6 million after subscribing nine times for a flat at Novo Land.

A customer bought a two-bedroom unit and a three-bedroom unit for over HK$16 million, a record-breaking transaction in the last three batches.

Victor Lui Ting, the deputy managing director of SHKP, said that Novo Land has sold 690 apartments in just nine days, resulting in more than HK$4 billion in cash. In the past eight months, they have sold a total of 2,238 apartments and generated over HK$13.7 billion.

Lui said there was a possibility of releasing Novo Land phase 2A for sale this month.

Wheelock Properties is set to release Koko Hills phase 3B in Lam Tin for sale as early as this month.

Phase 3B offers 444 units, most of them small flats. About 60 percent have harbor views.

In One on top of Ho Man Tin MTR Station, co-developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066),will release its first price list for phase 1B this week.

The first batch will include at least 50 flats, covering one to three-bedroom units.

On the other hand, when homebuyers flocked to the primary market this weekend, the secondary market experienced a decline in transactions.

A property agency said that the 10 major housing estates registered only 10 transactions over the weekend, marking a 41 percent decrease from the previous week and hitting a 12-week low. Three estates recorded zero transactions: Taikoo Shing in Quarry Bay, Metro City in Tseung Kwan O and Caribbean Coast in Tung Chung.

Kowloon East to launch more commercial sites

The Development Bureau said yesterday that it will continue to launch commercial sites in Kowloon East.

The commercial floor space in Kowloon East has increased by about 90 percent over the past 10 years to 3.2 million square meters, including more than 60 redeveloped or converted industrial buildings, it said.

Together with the projects under construction or approved, the commercial space in the area will reach more than 4 million square meters, which is similar to the core business district in Central, it said.

Other commercial sites will be put on the market in the future, including a number of sites in Kai Tak that will provide a total of about 910,000 sq m of commercial floor space, it noted.

The bureau added that many multinational companies and financial institutions have already moved to Kowloon East, indicating that it is growing as a second major business district and enhancing Hong Kong's status as an international financial and trading center.

Separately, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said in his blog that Hong Kong should target its resources on economic development as its recovery is at a critical stage.

Unit of Li Ka-shing’s Hutchison submits plan to build 15,075 homes in Tsing Yi to add to Hong Kong’s housing supply, help ease shortage

Hutchison’s Hongkong United Dockyards Limited (HUD) unit has submitted a proposal to the Town Planning Board to erect 15,075 homes in Tsing Yi

The site next to the Tsing Ma Bridge will comprise 10,370 apartments and 4,700 public housing units, HUD says

CK Hutchison Holdings, the flagship company of Hong Kong’s wealthiest man, plans to turn a waterfront dockyard into the city’s second-largest housing enclave, adding much needed supply to the world’s least affordable major urban centre.

Hutchison’s Hongkong United Dockyards Limited (HUD) unit submitted a proposal to the Town Planning Board to erect 15,075 homes on its site and adjacent government land in Tsing Yi. The site, next to the Tsing Ma Bridge, will comprise 10,370 apartments and 4,700 public housing units, HUD said.

“There is a long-term pressing housing need in Hong Kong and HUD hopes to contribute its part to the resolution of housing problems through this proposal”, said a statement by HUD, whose parent Hutchison is chaired by Victor Li Tzar-kuoi, the elder son of tycoon Li Ka-shing. “Under Hong Kong’s current land scarcity situation, HUD believes large-scale industrial land and idled government land can be part of a solution to alleviate Hong Kong’s housing needs.”

The proposal combines HUD’s plot with a piece of idle land owned by the government under the Tsing Ma bridge, using a road to connect the two parcels into a site measuring 19.9 hectares (49.2 acres) overlooking the Ma Wan Channel. The size of the project is second only to the 21,500 homes at Hong Kong’s largest residential enclave, Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O, and bigger than Hutchison’s Whampoa Garden in Hung Hom, with 10,285 flats.

The land value is estimated at HK$22 billion (US$2.8 billion) after the payment of land premium and assuming that the developer is not required to bear the cost of building the public homes, according to a surveyor.

Hutchison has not put a price tag on the project, which has not been given a name. The proposal calls for 34 residential towers, each between 27 and 48 storeys, with amenities such as shops, kindergartens, a primary school,, a marina club and social welfare facilities.

Public housing will be located in 10 blocks of between 22 and 34 storeys on the plot of land owned by the government, according to the proposal. A 15 metre-wide waterfront promenade will be built to serve both the private apartments and public housing, according to the proposal.

Hutchison bought 50 per cent of HUD from Swire Pacific in August 2021. The site measures 10 hectares, and is currently a so-called brownfield plot used for cement works, open storage and workshops, the application said.

“This is a medium-to-long term planning proposal”, HUD said. “HUD is willing to make suitable arrangements regarding its existing business operations at the appropriate time, with the hope that this will help contribute to the resolution of Hong Kong’s housing problems”.

Tsing Yi has a residential community and commercial zone on an island that also accommodates heavy industries, a transport interchange, shipbuilding works and dockyards.

“The most [often-heard] criticism of Tsing Yi is its transport and amenities”, which need a government commitment to “upgrade”, the surveyor said.

The surveyor said more commercial amenities are needed in Tsing Yi, not just a large shopping centre. The surveyor also pointed to the logistics warehouses located south of the proposed housing estate, asking whether that is “really suitable”.

The proposed estate will form part of the Harbour Metropolis under the Hong Kong 2030+ territorial strategic planning framework. Under the plan, a new central business district known as CBD3 will be located at the Kau Yi Chau (KYC) artificial islands, about 5 kilometres from HUD’s proposed project.

The low proportion of public housing in the proposal may, however, hamper its approval, another surveyor said, who pointed to the government’s 2018 housing supply target of 70 per cent.

The surveyor said that it is “not sure if the government will approve it”, adding that its entrance may be near an industrial site, which might affect its sales value.

The Vertex earns $4.6b from sales of 47 flats


The Vertex, a project held by Twin City and VMS Asset Management in Chang Sha Wan, has cashed in HK$4.6 billion from selling 47 completed units since February.

The revenue generated from the project is expected to surpass HK$5 billion by tomorrow, according to VMS Asset Management.

Depending on market demand, they are considering the possibility of adding more flats for sale.

Furthermore, the company has announced a collaboration with a property agency to promote the sale of the project.

One unit of the luxury project 21 Borrett Road on Mid-levels, previously owned by CK Asset (1113) was sold for HK$162.8 million.

Through a tender process, unit 7 on the 11th floor of Phase 1, which includes four bedrooms, storage spaces, and two parking spots, was sold for HK$162.8 million, equivalent to HK$70,294 per square foot. This unit measures 2,316 sq ft.

This marks the fourth transaction in five months after CK Asset sold the remaining units of the 21 Borrett Road project to Singapore's Sino Suisse Capital in September of last year.

Meanwhile, another property agency has announced that it has been tasked with selling 100 percent of the undivided shares of the residential sites located at 111-117 Blue Pool Road in Happy Valley.

The deadline for submission of expression of interest is May 2.

The project's site covers about 10,360 sq ft, and there is potential to rebuild mansions with a floor area of around 22,000 sq ft.

According to the agency, the sale of the entire site is a rare residential offering of over 10,000 sq ft in Happy Valley within the last decade. With the border reopening and an upturn in the property market, the project is anticipated to attract a greater number of investors and developers.

The primary property market has seen a significant increase in the number of transactions last month, jumping by 70 percent monthly or sixfold yearly to 508, thanks to the reopening of the border, according to another agency.

The agency estimated that the transactions in new projects will rise by about fourfold quarter-on-quarter to 4,200 in the first quarter.

To meet the demands of mainland customers, the local agency plans to establish additional branches near the border crossing points.

消費向好 零售餐飲核心區擴充

通關加上撤銷防疫措施,消費市道料向好,近期不論零售及餐飲,均進行核心區擴充,令租務市場頗為熱鬧。

近期商舖租務市場轉旺,更出現近年罕見的奢侈品複式舖租務。消息稱,中環皇后大道中54至56號豐樂行多層舖租出,物業地下至3樓,面積合共約8,735平方呎,以每月約100萬元租出。豐樂行由老牌業主持有,數年前進行重建,並於2020年落成。物業樓高28層,總樓面面積3.3萬平方呎,而地下至3樓為商舖部分。

鐘錶集團 100萬租中環多層舖

消息指,是次新租客為國際大型鐘錶集團Swatch Group,該集團擁多個名錶品牌如浪琴、雷達錶等,是次集團租用,料作旗下歐米茄 (Omega) 之用。

據了解,該品牌目前亦有租用同區中建大廈地下,是次預租豐樂行,因看中物業樓面大,可打造旗艦店。據悉,在4層樓面中,除了銷售名錶外,更會預留部分樓面作展覽館,介紹品牌故事及展示經典款式等,增加體驗部分,以吸引更多客人前來。是次亦屬疫情以來,罕見奢侈品租用多層舖位打造旗艦店。

奢侈品重新擴充業務,六福珠寶承租銅鑼灣羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心地下3及5號舖,面積約3,068平方呎,月租約70萬元,呎租約228元,亦為通關後,核心區首宗珠寶店租用核心區舖位。翻查資料,舖位對上租戶為周大福 (01929),在2019年底即新冠病毒爆發前,以每月130萬元租用,去年10月租約期滿撤出。另外,2014年舖位由英皇鐘錶珠寶 (00887) 以每月276萬元租用,現租金較9年前大跌75%。

翠華重返中環 租逾5千呎舖

除了零售外,餐飲亦租大樓面舖位,中環威靈頓街1號荊威廣場高層地下舖位,面積約5,089平方呎,以每月約35萬元租出。據了解,新租客為本港知名茶餐廳品牌翠華,該集團近年放棄多間分店,消息稱是次集團租用中環店,將以全新餐飲概念配合,帶來新意。翻查資料,翠華自1998年租用中環威靈頓街華商會所大廈3層,涉及約8,160平方呎,惟疫情衝擊,於2020年不續租,如今翠華重返中環。

荊威廣場地下、地庫、1至2樓,面積合共約2萬平方呎,內地財團於2019年以310萬元租用舖位,開設夜店,惟僅經營一段短時間便結業。期間物業一直交吉,現業主決定把樓層分拆招租,以吸引更多租客。

分析指,因中港正式通關,旅客重返,令零售商重啟擴充意慾,而本港撤走防疫措施,市民消費意慾亦提升,在旅客及本地消費提升下,餐飲及零售均有興趣租舖迎接商機,料第二季商舖租務數字顯著上升。

Top banks step up mortgage battle


Major banks are stepping up efforts to vie for mortgages amid signs that Hong Kong's property market is recovering.

Among the latest signs was The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation's reported move to lower the cap of its Hibor-based mortgage plan by 0.25 percentage point for homes in the secondary market.

With the capped rate being lowered from P-2 percent to P-2.25 percent, the mortgage rate cap based on the bank's prime rate currently at 5.625 percent is being lowered from 3.625 percent to 3.375 percent.

The current mortgage rate for properties in the secondary sector is now aligned with that of new homes.

In new home sales, In One, a joint project by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066) above Ho Man Tin MTR station, said its price list for phase 1B would be unveiled in less than 24 hours. At least 50 units from one to three bedrooms will be available in the first batch and buyers can make purchase subscriptions through the mobile application system.

Phase 1B offers 183 apartments featuring from one to four bedrooms and areas of 336 to 1,234 square feet.

Meanwhile, the Lands Tribunal has granted a compulsory sale order for Dragon Court in Kowloon Tong, that has been acquired by Agile (3383) for many years with a reserve price of HK$966 million.

Built in 1967, Dragon Court comprises five 5-story buildings with a total of 44 units. The estate sits on an area of 21,640 sq ft and redevelopment with a plot ratio of 1.8 would yield a total area of about 38,952 sq ft.

Among other new projects, the price list of Wheelock Properties' Koko Mare in Lam Tin will be released as early as next week in respect of 444 units. The phase 3B of Koko Hills features one- to two-bedroom units and the developer said the sales brochure would be uploaded within the week. The first round of sales is scheduled for this month at the earliest.

Also, Henderson Land (0012) has unveiled the price list for 73 flats at One Innovale - Cabanna in Fanling, the sixth so far, with an average discounted price of HK$14,780 per sq ft.

On Saturday, 12 studios in Kowloon Development's (0034) Manor Hill in Tseung Kwan O are marked for sale with discounted prices ranging from HK$4.4 million to HK$4.9 million.

And After The Rain in Yuen Long, developed by Star Group (1560), put 34 flats up for sale yesterday, with the cheapest unit being sold for HK$4.14 million after discounts.

190萬呎樓面 料今年登場

同時,佔地約28公頃的啟德體育園,由「主場館」、「室內體育館」以及「公眾運動場」3個大型體育館組成,其中可容納約1萬名觀眾的「室內體育園」,將會設有約64.6萬平方呎的零售及餐飲設施,當中日式百貨公司AEON早前已宣布,斥資約3,730萬元承租商場舖位9年。

至於遠東發展 (00035) 於2019年以約24.46億元投得的承啟道商業地,則發展為酒店及寫字樓,提供約400個酒店房間,及12層高商廈,總樓面約34.4萬平方呎,辦公室部分早前以約33.8億元出售予中電 (00002) 。

九龍塘舊樓強拍底價9.66億 高市場估值71% 雅居樂持有

市場優質地皮新供應有限,近年不少內地財團積極在港「插旗」收購舊樓項目,藉以增加土地儲備。由雅居樂2020年申請強拍的九龍塘龍圃別墅,最近終於獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價為9.66億,對比2020年申請時估值高出約71%。

據土地審裁處文件顯示,是次獲批強拍令的龍圃別墅位於九龍塘義本道6號,現為1幢樓高5層的舊樓,合共有44個單位。該舊樓早於1967年落成入伙,至今約56年樓齡。雅居樂於2020年7月申請強拍時持有81.82%業權,餘下8個單位並未成功收購,直至審訊時業權份數維持不變。

上述項目於昨日獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價為9.66億,對比2020年7月申請強拍時,當時市場估值約逾5.64億,高出4.02億或71%。該項目地盤面積約21640方呎,若以地積比率3倍發展,涉及可建總樓面約64920方呎,以底價為9.66億計,即每方呎樓面地價約14880元。

樓面每呎約14880

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,認為該建築物落成約55年,已達其設計壽命,加上維修情況欠佳。隨着時間推移,建築在許多方面已經過時,無論是物理上還是功能上,不符合現代安全標準和法定要求,而且維修成本與重建成本不成比例,故重建發展是合適做法。再者申請人已採取一切合理步驟取得全部業權,故批出強拍令。

然而,上述強拍項目公司為超鴻投資公司、駿朗發展公司,登記地址均為雅居樂香港總部,當時申請強拍時公司董事分別為雅居樂集團主席兼總裁陳卓林、太太陸倩芳,以及雅居樂集團執行董事兼高級副總裁陳卓雄。

事實上,除該項目外,近年雅居樂更進一步擴大於九龍塘收購的範圍,包括毗鄰的涵碧別墅亦獲該財團出價收購,據該公司年報顯示,該公司已持有約23%業權。

重建發展是合適做法

涵碧別墅位於義本道8至10號,地盤面積約27427方呎,若與是次獲批強拍令的項目合併發展,地盤面積擴展至49067方呎,若以地積比率3倍發展,涉及可建總樓面約194760方呎。

另外,新世界等併購的尖沙嘴漢口大廈,上月初獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價為21.34億,最新落實於本周五舉行公開拍賣,並由萊坊負責。

漢口大廈位於尖沙嘴漢口道43至49A號,現為11層高商住樓,項目地盤面積約11565方呎,土地現規劃為商業用途,若以地積比率12倍發展,可建總樓面約13.88萬方呎。

雅居樂併購的九龍塘龍圃別墅昨獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價為9.66億,以可建總樓面約64920方呎,每呎樓面地價約14880元。

Ho Man Tin flats start at $7.8m


The first price list for home at In One in Ho Man Tin has been revealed featuring 50 flats from Phase 1B at an average price of HK$24,838 per square foot, cheaper than nearby projects.

In One is being developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066) atop Ho Man Tin MTR station.

The 50 flats cost between HK$7.87 million and HK$26.08 million after discounts, and comprise 6 one-bedroom, 33-two bedroom and 11 three-bedroom units with areas ranging from 336 to 941 sq ft.

After discounts, the cheapest one-bedroom is HK$7.87 million, the cheapest two-bedroom is HK$10.42 million, and the cheapest three-bedroom unit is HK$20.95 million.

Phase 1B has a total of 183 apartments featuring one-to four-bedroom flats with areas of 336 to 1,234 sq ft.

Chinachem director of sales Helen Fung said the prices for the batch are close to market levels.

A property agent said that the prices are 20 percent lower than second-hand homes in the area and would be attractive for many homebuyers.

The agent expected In One will be the bestseller among new projects this year but says there is a chance that prices for upcoming batches will be raised.

Show flats for In One open this Friday and sales start as soon as next week.

Elsewhere in Mid-levels, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) sold a luxury flat at Central Peak Phase 1 by tender for HK$177 million or HK$85,000 per sq ft. The buyer can move into the four-bedroom home in advance and will receive some furniture as well as a HK$38,000 rebate from SHKP.

In other news, Hong Kong reported the largest and only fall in prime rents among 10 cities worldwide last year with a 6.4 percent decline, according to a property agency.

Singapore ranked No.1 for 28 percent of prime rent growth in 2022, beating New York and London.

Globally, average prime rents rose 10.3 percent in 2022.

More Tuen Mun flats go on sale

Phase 2 of Grand Jeté in Tuen Mun, co-developed by CK Asset (1113) and Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), released the first price list of 88 units yesterday, with the cheapest at HK$3.07 million after discounts.

Flats in the batch have sizes from 266 to 722 square feet, and the average price per sq ft is HK$12,509 after discounts, 16.9 percent cheaper than the first batch of phase 1 that was put on the market last June.

Discounted costs for the 88 homes range from HK$3.07 million to HK$9.24 million, or HK$11,042 to HK$13,972.

CK said showrooms will open to the public from tomorrow and sales could take place next week at the earliest.

The project provides a total of 400 flats.

In Lam Tin, Wheelock Properties has released the sales brochure of phase 3B of Koko Hills, named Koko Mare. The developer said the first price list with 90 homes at least may be unveiled next week. The project offers 444 flats from 310 to 1,078 sq ft.

In Ho Man Tin, Chinachem said In One above the MTR station may reveal another batch over the weekend and the first round of sales may kick off next week.

Meanwhile, a property agency expects home transactions to jump 49 percent in the first quarter from the previous three-month period to about 12,500 cases, boosted by the full border reopening and the stamp duty cut for first-time home buyers.

億京九展建地標甲廈料「開綠燈」 規劃署不反對 3幢涉逾177萬呎

億京為首財團2021年豪擲約105億購入的九龍灣國際展貿中心,去年向城規會申建3幢地標甲級商廈,涉及可建總樓面約177.47萬方呎,當中有不少於約12.15萬方呎樓面作為展覽或有關用途。最新獲規劃署不反對,城規會將於今日舉行審議時料會「開綠燈」通過。

規劃署認為,放寬高度限制以作重建與周邊的發展並非不相容,而且項目保持樓宇間距、改善環境等,並不會對周邊視覺環境、交通及通風等造成負面影響,而且項目1樓及2樓設有出入口,連接北部和南部的現有和未來的行人天橋,加強九龍灣商貿區及啟德發展區之間連接,故不反對有關發展。

不少於12萬呎展覽館

上述項目位於九龍灣展貿徑1號,地盤面積約23.98萬方呎,向城規會申請放寬建築物高度限制,建築物高度限制由主水平基準以上100米,申請放寬至140米,增幅約40%,以地積比率不多於7.4倍發展,擬建3幢樓高24至26層 (不包括1層防火層、2層地庫、4層平台) 的甲級商廈,其中2幢為相連物業,而第3幢則為獨立物業,而第1及2座與3座提供不小於30米樓宇間距、而1座與2座則提供不小於15米的中層開口。

整個項目涉及可建總樓面約177.47萬方呎,根據地契要求,將提供不少於12.15萬方呎作為與展覽/與貿易有關用途的展覽館;另外,亦有約664個車位。資料顯示,由億京等合組財團於2021年向合和購入九龍灣國際展貿中心,作價約105億,平均呎價約5900多元,成為當年最大宗物業買賣;並計畫重建為地標甲廈,總投資額約200億。

億京財團持有的九龍灣國際展貿中心,去年向城規會申建3幢地標甲級商廈,最新獲規劃署不反對,城規會將於今日審議時料會「開綠燈」通過。

商廈租務成交量 按月升逾5成

中港全面通關至今1個月,2月份寫字樓租售價平穩發展。有代理行發表的商廈市場報告指出,2月份分散業權甲廈售價及租金上升,兩者均按月微升0.4%;而分散業權乙廈售價及租金則個別發展,分別按月跌0.3%及升2.2%。

該行代理表示,近期市況漸有起色,上月買賣成交集中於分層商廈,包括尖沙咀、石門等區域,帶動呎價持續向上。當中尖沙咀的甲廈售價連升2個月,累積升約7.1%,最新呎價升至12,081元。億元成交方面,包括有由新世界 (00017) 以約17億元出售的觀塘鴻圖道73至75號 KOHO 商廈全幢,總樓面約21.89萬平方呎,平均呎價約7,766元。

上月整體商廈註冊宗數微跌,共錄44宗,而50大指標甲廈成交量同樣回落,錄4宗成交,但租務交投相對活躍,租務成交量按月攀升53.6%至401宗,反映隨着經濟復常、商務往來增加,企業選擇擴充令租賃需求逐漸回升。共享空間品牌theDesk擴充業務據點,租用九龍灣企業廣場五期約1.7萬平方呎樓面,而觀塘 The Millennity 錄得大手租務,一家本地設計公司承租2層樓面,涉及面積約3.8萬平方呎,成交呎租約28元。

多幢新甲廈落成 推高空置率

根據差餉物業估價署最新數字顯示,去年寫字樓落成量高達378萬平方呎,按年急升4倍,創23年來新高。上月全港整體甲廈空置率為10.4%,中區、灣仔及銅鑼灣、尖沙咀的空置率分別為8.8%、7.4%及9.7%,而九龍東的空置率創自有紀錄以來新高,達17.1%。主要由於多幢新甲廈陸續落成,推高空置率,即使整體市場氣氛改善,目前企業需求增長仍不足以抵銷高空置率的影響,預料此情況將維持一段長時間,為商廈物業表現帶來較大壓力。

該報告指出,中港全面通關,商舖市場最率先受惠,商廈物業對通關的反應較其他板塊為弱,不過市場憧憬經濟復甦,外資及中資企業來港對商廈需求陸續增加,將有助消化部分新落成面積。

商廈舖位調整深 首選核心區投資

正八廖偉麟:市況復常 租售價升1成不難

通關後利好商業活動,正八集團主席廖偉麟認為,不論商廈及商舖,通關後首選核心區。投資策略上,他謂去年因應息口上升,以減債為主,今年則動用5億至8億元入市。

近期投資市場氣氛不俗,與去年相比差距甚大。廖偉麟指,去年數個因素導致投資氣氛淡靜,年初出現第5波疫情,而中港通關一度落空,而關鍵是加息,「息口升至甚高水平,H按最高達5厘,比起以前僅約2厘,升1倍以上,令投資者重新計算回報率,整體入市意慾低」。

直至今年初,氣氛開始好轉,先有中港初步通關,防疫措施先後解除,而上月全面通關,他認為是帶動商業氣氛的關鍵,「通關主要帶動信心,現時市面氣氛完全不同,各團體重啟活動,商業往來重新興旺」。

他指,通關後率先帶動商舖租務,而商廈交投亦加快,他舉例,近日中環美國銀行中心一單位,以每呎3.8萬元沽出,呎價為疫情以來新高,反映通關後市況的確好轉。

有資金在手 不用買邊綫區

後市走勢上,他非常看好核心區,「不論舖位及寫字樓,首選核心區,旅客重返香港購物,或是內地機構來港開業,均選擇核心區。作為投資者,有資金在手,價錢亦回調,不用買邊綫區」。

廖偉麟看好商廈,今年初亦偷步入市,購入金鐘力寶中心一座37樓4至6室,面積約3,475平方呎,涉資約7,818萬元,成交呎價約2.25萬元,物業市值呎租約60元。他分析,商廈過往數年調整深,投資機會漸現,「寫字樓呎價由最高5萬至6萬,跌至2萬至3萬,接近一半,市況現已接近完全復常,租金及售價升1成絕對不難。當然,在高息環境下,用家入市較為積極,對投資者來說,則看重資產價格數年後彈升。」對於目前商廈空置率高企,他謂應投資核心區甲廈,「空置樓面最多是東九龍,港島區始終相對較低,跨國企業,如歐美、內地機構會來港開辦公點,核心區始終是首選。」至於疫情期間,在家工作一度興起,他笑稱疫後WFH已無人提及,實體辦公室作用仍不變。

至於舖位市場則已明顯反彈,近一個月,尖沙咀、銅鑼灣相繼錄大手舖位成交,他認為疫情期間跌得最殘是旅客到訪地區,現正是反彈最快,相信8,000萬至1億元舖位成交將相繼出現。

今年擬5億至8億投資物業

廖偉麟為工商舖資深投資者,以往每年出貨入貨無停手,去年卻罕有地未有出手,他解釋去年市場無平貨,亦無「跳樓貨」,而關鍵是息口高企,故以減債為主,如今通關後則會加快入市,「上年公司減5%債務,畢竟加息環境,降低債務等同已入市。事實上,買錯可能會輸,減債是王道。現時降了債,今年可以投資5億至8億元物業,並以商廈為主」。

Hong Kong home sales extend post-Covid winning run as buyers snap up 78 per cent of flats in Yuen Long project

Buyers snapped up at least 111 of 143 units at a project called After The Rain in Yuen Long district on Saturday

Lived-in home prices in Hong Kong rose in January after borders were reopened, ending a seven-month slide

Homebuyers turned up in numbers to snap up the bulk of the flats on sale in a Yuen Long project on Saturday, highlighting better property market sentiment as the reopening of Hong Kong’s economy continues to unleash pent-up demand, according to agents.

At least 111 of 143 units on offer at the After The Rain project were sold when showroom doors were closed last night, according to agents. The project, developed by closely-held Star Properties, added to a series of strong take-up rates in property launches since early January, when China officially scrapped quarantine requirements.

Apart from the border reopening, the market also improved following a cut in stamp duty in February, some analysts said. While the project has its own appeal, it may have benefited from buyers who turned away from Kai Tak earlier this week to look at flats in other locations.

“The result is quite good,” a property agent said. “The attraction is that it is close to the Long Ping station, so transport is convenient.”

The Yuen Long project offers units with sizes ranging from about 250 to 900 sq ft at an average price of HK$14,491 per sq ft. The cheapest units start from about HK$4 million (US$127,000), making it popular among the city’s first-time homebuyers, the agent added.

The price is comparable to other last year’s launches in the district, such as units at Park Yoho Bologna that were sold in October at HK$13,088 per sq ft. Flats at Grand Mayfair were tagged at HK$17,608 per sq ft during its launch in April.

Besides homeowners, investors were among those who expressed interest in the Yuen Long development. About 30 per cent of the buyers on Saturday intend to lease them out for rental income, which could return 3 per cent annually, the agent estimated.

Star Properties fared a lot better than Wheelock Properties. Buyers shunned nearly all the 111 units at the Monaco Marine project in Kai Tak. Some residents have opposed a government plan to build 10,700 temporary flats in the vicinity, saying it will diminish its allure at Hong Kong’s second central business district.

Notwithstanding that, the recovery in the city’s property market has kicked on as the economy showed signs of improvement. Prices of lived-in homes rose by 0.6 per cent in January, halting a seven-month slide.

New launches, such as the Koko Rosso project in Lam Tin, One Innovale in Fanling and Novo Land in Tuen Mun, enjoyed brisk sales with near sell-out results.

“Pent up and delayed demand accumulated in the fourth quarter of 2022 is boosting the market now,” another agent said.

Most of the new home transactions were for units priced below HK$12 million each, with those below HK$10 million making up 85 per cent of the total private residential volume, the agent added.

More developers are likely to rush their projects to the market in the coming months to ride the upturn, another agent said.

“We foresee developers accelerating their projects in the pipeline to catch up with the improved sentiment,” especially for the 13 developments that have already secured presale consent, the agent added.

The rental values of some shops on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui and Russell Street in Causeway Bay fell 50 and over 30 percent respectively year on year, according to latest data from the Rating and Valuation Department

Shop 8 on the ground floor of 2A Canton Road - the 1881 Heritage complex - saw its rateable value slump about 50.8 percent yearly to HK$21.4 million for the financial year 2023-24. That was a dive of around 80 percent from the peak of above HK$100 million before the pandemic.

And a commercial store on the ground floor at 116 Canton Road had a rental value of HK$3.6 million, dipping by about 30.2 percent from 12 months ago.

Falls were also seen in shops in Causeway Bay, where rents were once the highest in the world.

Shop C on the ground floor at 38 Russell Street saw its rental value fall for a fourth consecutive year to HK$3.54 million, down by 33.7 percent from a year ago and 74 percent from the pre-pandemic level in 2019.

Also, the rental value of shop B6 on the ground floor at 59 Russell Street had a decline for the sixth year in a row to HK$1.49 million, losing 66.5 percent from the pre-pandemic level.

All values were reviewed in the open market last October after the retail sector was hit by the fifth wave of the Covid pandemic.

But rental values of shops in popular tourist areas could rebound following the reopening border between Hong Kong and the mainland in January.

Meanwhile, the NCB Innovation Centre in Cheung Sha Wan from New World Development (0017) reportedly saw a buyer purchase a batch of high-rise units for nearly HK$240 million, the largest transaction in a Class A building after the border reopening.

Lee Shau-kee's Peak mansion takes 8pc hit in rental value

Billionaire Lee Shau-kee's ultra-luxury three-home family mansion at 35 Barker Road on The Peak saw its rental value fall 8.6 percent to HK$24.2 million a year, latest data from the Rating and Valuation Department shows.

However, it remains the most expensive mansion by rateable value - an estimated annual rental value of a property - in Hong Kong.

While the three-home mansion of the Henderson Land Development (0012) founder saw a fall in rateable value, rental values for most luxury homes remained flat compared with the 15 percent slump in home prices last year.

The 2023-24 valuation list and government rent roll is available for inspection until May 31 and all rateable values were reviewed by reference to rental values in the open market last October, a couple of months before Hong Kong and China reopened their borders.

Lee's property, which includes three luxury mansions with a total area of 26,756 sq ft, had a rateable value of HK$24.2 million or around HK$2 million per month for 2023-24 down by 8.6 percent from HK$26.46 million in 2022-23. However, it retained its crown as Hong Kong's most expensive home for the third consecutive year.

Also at The Peak, a house at 10 Black's Link owned by Chinese billionaire Hui Ka-yan had a rental value of HK$5.57 million, staying flat for two years in a row, though it was taken over as collateral for unpaid debt of debt-burdened developer China Evergrande (3333) chaired by Hui and put up for sale with bids to be closed this month.

In Shek O, Tencent (0700) chairman Pony Ma Huateng's house at 13 Big Wave Bay Road by saw its rateable value remain at HK$12.81 million, remaining the most expensive single home in Hong Kong.

Another local billionaire Li Ka-shing's home at 79 Deep Water Bay Road maintained a rental value of HK$9.04 million.

Rates or property tax are charged at a percentage of the rateable value of the property. The rates will remain at 5 percent for the financial year starting next month. The government plans to offer reduction in rates for the two quarters ending in September with a ceiling of HK$1,000 per quarter for each rateable tenement, which is expected to benefit about 3.46 million rateable properties.

Meanwhile, in the primary market, Phase 2 of Grand Jeté in Tuen Mun, co-developed by CK Asset (1113) and Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), will put up all 400 flats on sale on Saturday at the earliest, after listing 292 flats for sale as of Sunday.

中環中心頂層租值三連跌

去年本港尚未通關,主要商業區的甲級商廈空置率持續高企,租金受壓。據差餉物業估價署 (差估署) 的2023/24年度 (下年度) 應課差餉租值 (租值) 顯示,中環皇后大道中99號中環中心頂層單位下年度租值跌近14%,屬疫情期間最大跌幅。

屬於散業權的中環中心79樓頂層1室,其租值繼2021/22年度下挫12%、2022/23年度 (本年度) 滑落6.9%後,下年度進一步下降13.9%,至415.2萬元,屬連續第三個年度下跌。該物業2020/21年度租值為589.2萬元,即現時較高位插水29.5%。

新世界2.4億 沽長沙灣甲廈高層戶

通關後最大額商廈成交 呎價15724

受惠通關效應及經濟復甦帶動,一手商廈交投轉旺,其中新世界 (00017) 旗下長沙灣南商金融創新中心一藍子單位,獲買家以近2.4億元承接,創通關後最大額的甲廈成交。另中環威靈頓街92號 92 Wellington,再錄全層買賣。

消息指,長沙灣南商金融創新中心一批高層單位,面積約15,263平方呎,以2.4億元易手,呎價約15,724元。據了解,買家有見本港經濟已逐漸復甦,加上單位享藍巴勒海峽海景,屬同區罕見,故大手購入單位自用。據悉,新世界自開售至今,累售8成樓面,通關前後合共錄得近10宗成交,套現4億,包括早前獲內地資金逾1,750萬元購入高層單位,單位面積約1,118平方呎,呎價逾1.56萬元。

威靈頓街9292 Wellington 全層 6600萬易手

全新甲廈吸搬遷客 租務稍加快

通關後甲廈租務稍加快,質素較理想的物業,競爭力較高,吸引搬遷客,令整體租務成交稍增。

有代理行指,根據差餉物業估價署最新數字顯示,去年寫字樓落成量高達378萬平方呎,按年急升4倍,創23年來新高。上月全港整體甲廈空置率為10.4%,中區、灣仔及銅鑼灣、尖沙咀的空置率分別為8.8%、7.4%及9.7%,而九龍東的空置率創自有紀錄以來新高,達17.1%。主要由於多幢新甲廈陸續落成,推高空置率,即使整體市場氣氛改善,目前企業需求增長仍不足以抵銷高空置率的影響,預料此情況將維持一段長時間,為商廈物業表現帶來較大壓力。

中環 The Henderson 成焦點

空置樓面較多,而質素理想的商廈較吸引租客,特別全新甲廈,包括中環 The Henderson 錄得第3宗預租個案,涉及兩層中層樓面,每層面積約1.4萬平方呎,合共約2.8萬平方呎,成交呎租料逾130元。據悉,新租客為加拿大退休金計劃投資局 (CPPIB),管理環球資產高達3萬億港元,為大型資產管理公司。據悉該機構目前租用同區約克大廈,是次搬至 The Henderson,既可把部門整合,亦可提升級數。

今年將落成的 The Henderson 為中環超甲廈焦點項目,物業樓高36層,每層約1.2萬至1.5萬平方呎,包括地面和5層地庫,總樓面面積46.5萬平方呎,去年起進行招租,拍賣行佳士得租用4層,涉約5萬平方呎,作集團在港首個常設拍賣中心和藝廊。另外,國際投資公司凱雷集團 (Carlyle) 則租用約2萬平方呎樓面。

另黃竹坑全新甲廈獲租客承接,消息指,黃竹坑 Landmark South 中高層03至08室,面積約8,713平方呎,成交呎租約30元。

Hermès利園一期兩層

至於傳統商業區,地標商廈亦獲租客升級,市場消息指,銅鑼灣利園一期寫字樓錄租務成交,涉及高層兩層,面積約3萬平方呎,以每呎逾50元租出。據了解,新租客為時裝及皮具名牌Hermès,該品牌目前租用同區華懋禮頓廣場,預計是次租用利園寫字樓,既可升級,亦進行少量擴充,而品牌亦於利園設有分店,故更方便業務運作。

據了解,Hermès分店位於利園一期,而業主希慎 (00014) 年初透露,今年是利園零售基座已落成約25年以來最大規模的升級,多個高檔品牌如包括Hermès將擴展現有店舖規模,面積增至逾萬平方呎,料是次租用同廈寫字樓,可方便管理。

分析指,因目前商廈空置率偏高,租金仍處較低水平,而通關後不少機構重啟擴充計劃,市場上選擇亦多,故優質商廈、特別全新甲廈項目,因設備最新,租金亦相對便宜,吸引租客搬遷升級。因此質素較佳甲廈,租務上相對有優勢。

金鐘統一中心全層放售 呎價叫2.5萬

通關後商廈需求有增,核心區全層甲廈合用家,金鐘統一中心全層進行放售,每呎意向價約2.5萬元。

有代理表示,有業主放售金鐘統一中心23樓全層,面積約20,489平方呎,實用率高達85%以上。物業部分連現有租約及部分交吉出售,意向價每平方呎約2.5萬元。

據了解,原業主於2010年,向日資金融機構購入,涉資約1.84億元,其後日資機構售後租回,該層樓面現時部分交吉。

低層年初4800萬沽出

成交方面,該廈年初錄買賣,統一中心低層1及5室,面積約2,300平方呎,以4,800萬元沽出,呎價約20,870元。

該代理指,農曆年前正式與國內通關後,內地買家陸續湧現,主力購買甲級寫字樓,如皇后大道中9號1403室、信德中心1611室及美國銀行中心2903室等,最高成交呎價達3.8萬元。

大廈地利位置佳,坐落中環一綫街道德輔道中,周邊寫字樓林立,比鄰區內地標商廈中環中心交易廣場等,形成協同效應。交通配套方面,距離港鐵香港站及中環站僅5至8分鐘路程,不論港鐵站、巴士及電車站都近在咫尺,往返港九新界相當便捷,甚至距離上環港澳碼頭亦不遠,方便本地及外地商業活動交流。

飲食方面,物業附近有不少餐廳可供選擇,各國美食應有盡有。附近亦有不少商場,例如IFC Mall,亦可選擇步行10至15分鐘到五星級的四季酒店享用商務午餐。

頂層複式戶放租 意向呎租50

中環裕昌大廈裝修雅致,鄰近地鐵站及巴士站,質素不俗。

可加設來去水位

有代理表示,受委託獨家代理中環德輔道中裕昌大廈全幢招租事宜,當中一個頂層複式單位更屬區內罕有的商廈單位,適合作企業總部之用,單位面積約3,307平方呎,意向月租約16.8萬元,意向呎租50元。單位更內置樓梯設計,並附平台,其面積約474平方呎,極具氣派,於中環區更屬罕有,極適合作公司總部外,亦適合作私人會所之用。

同時,業主今次推出的單位分布於中層為主,面積由約336至1,207平方呎不等,意向呎租由約48元起。謝氏稱,由於單位可加設來去水位,業主傾向吸納更多元化租客,包括醫療及美容行業,同時亦歡迎專業服務行業如會計師行及律師樓等行業垂青。

翻查資料,比鄰裕昌大廈旁的皇后大道中29號的華人行低層05室,面積約1,551平方呎,早前以呎租約55元租出。相比之下,今次裕昌大廈即使是頂層極罕有及優質單位,租金亦具吸引力,相信可滿足企業租戶不同需要。

該代理指,中環一綫地段寫字樓供應罕有,且大多租金高昂,而裕昌大廈項目單位選擇多元化,地利優勢突出,加上呎租相對實惠,加上頂層複式戶罕有,相信物業招租反應會見理想。

銅鑼灣鋪租值按年跌逾2成 羅素街複式鋪租值跌21%

根差餉物業估價署 (差估署) 昨日公布2023至24年度 (下年度) 應課差餉租值 (下稱租值) 顯示,核心區鋪租普遍下跌,其中銅鑼灣具指標性鋪位,跌幅更高逾20%,惟業界人士表示,相信最壞時間已成過去。

差估署按照2022年10月1日市值租金水平,評定下年度租值,並以租值5%作為今年4月起新一年度徵收差餉額,因此未反映今年以來兩地通關後對鋪市的影響。全港鋪位及商業單位下年度整體租值跌幅1.6%,寫字樓跌幅為2.7%。

商戶下年度享低差餉支出

據差估署資料,銅鑼灣羅素街38號地下E及F鋪及1樓F室,下年度租值為2172萬,較2022至23年度的2772萬下滑21%,同區的景隆街2號找換店「鋪王」,下年度租值為48萬,較2022至23年度的60萬下滑20%;不過,大型旗艦店巨鋪跌幅反而較細,中環置地廣場地下7至17號地鋪路易威登 (LOUIS VUITTION) 旗艦店,下年度租值為4548萬,較2022至23年度的4788萬下滑5%。

有測量師指出,每年差餉估值均以上一年的10月1日作為參考日,各類物業中,商鋪差餉值跌幅最大,去年10月商鋪租金處於谷底,隨着通關因素,近月商鋪稍有回升,所以商戶 (鋪位租客) 在下年度仍可享低差餉支出,惟寫字樓、住宅和工廈,租金未見明顯好轉。

未反映通關後市況

有代理表示,去年鋪市市場氣氛低沉,未知通關時間,差估署數據未反應通關後市況,預期最壞時間已成過去,今年開關後,個別行業包括藥妝及藥房不斷搶租,近期連奢侈品亦租鋪。

據差估署資料,核心區鋪位租值普遍下跌,意味着商戶可享低差餉支出。

英皇放售屯門工廈 兩相連全幢市值6.2億

近期工商鋪買賣趨活,財團趁勢放售,市場消息指,英皇放售旗下位處屯門的2幢工廈,市值約6.2億。

上址為屯門新安街13及15號全幢工廈,佔地面積共約2萬方呎,現時有兩幢建築物,總樓面面積為88154方呎,分別於1976年及1977年落成,兩幢分別租予不同租戶,包括物流公司及汽車維修公司,該物業具重建潛力,重建樓面達22.8萬方呎,料每方呎樓面地價2719元。

佔地面積約2萬呎

有代理表示,上述物業周邊至少有8個項目,已被規劃商業或新式工業發展,總樓面約360萬方呎,自港鐵屯馬綫開通以來,區內轉型步伐亦加快,隨着新地早前收購附近兩個車廠地盤,加上原本私人持有商業項目,已向城規申請重建3幢面積約210萬方呎商廈,預期成為區內新地標。

此外,河田街2號華潤物流東亞工業大廈,業主亦曾向城規申請翻新全幢,預計將發展可達46.6萬方呎商廈,地盤面積約7.2萬方呎,目前樓高15層,為物流倉庫大廈。

工廈空置率低至2.6%

該代理又說,過去20年,平均每年近1百萬方呎工業庫存,因重建或將轉型流失,空置率自2004年以來一直保持在5%以下,截至2022年第四季度,全港工廈空置率更低至2.6%,價格按年增8.6%,租金按年升5.3%。

Ho Man Tin flat sales to kick off this weekend


The third price list for flats at phase 1B of In One atop Ho Man Tin MTR station has been released, offering 67 homes at a discounted average price of HK$21,318 per square foot.

Developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066), the first two price lists for phase 1B of the project have received more than 6,200 checks for a total of 112 apartments, making them more than 54 times oversubscribed.

The third list comprises 49 two-bedroom units and 18 three-bedroom units, with areas ranging from 422 to 941 square feet.

After the highest discount of 15 percent is applied, the prices range from HK$11.72 million to HK$30.45 million or between HK$25,530 and HK$34,374 per sq ft.

The most affordable option is Unit B on the second floor of Tower 3B, which offers two bedrooms and covers an area of 459 sq ft. This unit is available at a discounted price of HK$11.7 million or HK$25,530 per sq ft.

Chinachem plans to put all 179 flats on the three price lists for sale this Saturday.

In the first round of sales, 179 flats will be offered at discounted prices of HK$7.87 million to HK$30.45 million or HK$21,850 to HK$34,374 per sq ft. The average discounted price per sq ft is HK$27,083, resulting in a total market value of HK$3.43 billion for the flats.

Phase 1B offers a total of 183 flats and the remaining four flats, which are all four-bedroom units will be sold by tender on Sunday.

In Lam Tin, Koko Mare, developed by Wheelock Properties, will release the first price list tomorrow.

The first price list will include over 90 one to two-bedroom flats, with prices ranging from HK$6 million to HK$9 million. Additionally, certain high-floor units with sea views will also be released for sale.

Henderson Land’s profit slumps 29 per cent to US$1.2 billion, aims to launch 7,655 flats in Hong Kong this year

Henderson said it would launch 10 projects comprising 7,655 flats in areas such as Kai Tak, Cheung Sha Wan, Hung Hom and Kowloon City this year

The company said it has commenced foundation works at Site 3 of New Central Harbourfront, which was acquired in 2021

Henderson Land, one of Hong Kong’s largest property developers, posted a 29 per cent decline in profit to HK$9.6 billion (US$1.2 billion) for 2022, as the city’s real estate industry was severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The developer, founded by billionaire and Hong Kong’s second-wealthiest man Lee Shau-kee, said the drop in profit was partly due to the absence of a one-off gain it booked in 2021 in connection with Miramar Hotel and Investment becoming its subsidiary, according to a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange on Tuesday.

“The decrease in underlying profit was partly due to an attributable gain of HK$1.8 billion, which was recognised in the previous year,” the filing said.

Property sales were impacted by the “uncertain outlook of the global economy” as monetary authorities across the globe, including the US, raised interest rates to curb surging consumer prices last year, the developer added.

“The global economy is fraught with many uncertainties, such as geopolitical tensions and inflation,” Henderson’s co-chairmen Lee Ka-kit and Lee Ka-shing said in a joint statement.

Hong Kong is benefiting from the relaxation of anti-pandemic measures globally and the reopening of the border with the mainland is expediting the recovery, they said.

With the government rolling out various schemes to revitalise the economy, including another round of consumption vouchers worth HK$5,000 for Hong Kong residents as well as a bid to attract more overseas talent, the economy is likely to benefit further, they added.

Henderson said it plans to sell 7,655 new residential units this year at 10 projects in Kai Tak, Cheung Sha Wan, Hung Hom and Kowloon City among others. Its land bank amounts to 25.2 million sq ft, including 15 million sq ft that has yet to be completed, the company added.

“As for Site 3 of New Central Harbourfront, which was acquired by the group in 2021, foundation works have commenced,” the filing said. “The site will be developed in two phases into a 1.6 million sq ft mixed-use development. In addition, over 300,000 sq ft of landscaped open space will be created for public use.”

The project’s first phase is expected to be completed in 2026 and the second phase in 2032.

Henderson Land declared a final dividend of HK$1.30 per share, which will be paid to shareholders on June 23.

Henderson Land’s shares closed 0.37 per cent lower at HK$26.60.

Separately, Henderson Investment, which runs department stores in Hong Kong, said profit attributable to equity shareholders fell 85 per cent to HK$5 million last year.

The company said it was hit hard by Hong Kong’s fifth wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It added that with the improvement in the Covid-19 situation as well as the government’s launch of a new round of the consumption voucher scheme, retail sales improved.

“However, the stalled inbound tourism, uncertain economic outlook and financial market turmoil continued to weigh on the local retail sector,” Henderson Investment said, noting that the value of total retail sales in Hong Kong decreased by 0.9 per cent year on year in 2022.

Henderson Investment declared a dividend of HK$0.10, which will be paid to shareholders on June 19.

The company’s shares rose 1.82 per cent to HK$0.28.

該行指出,在為數不多的新租賃案中,專業服務公司德勤租用觀塘 The Millennity 兩層樓面,建築面積共3.88萬方呎,以整合金鐘部分辦公空間。此外,該公司收購新業務,也將由大角嘴現址遷至 The Millennity

結束連續3個月負吸納

該行代理表示,2月底整體市場空置率微升至12.3%,原因之一為帝國集團旗下黃竹坑甲廈 S22 落成,惟商廈仍持續改善,接獲更多保險及金融機構租賃查詢。2月整體市場租金按月跌0.7%,中環、灣仔 (銅鑼灣) 租金分別跌0.8%和1.2%,尖沙嘴保持平穩。

整體租金按月跌0.7%

受惠跨境旅客逐漸恢復,1月零售業總銷貨額按年回升7%,珠寶首飾、鐘表及名貴禮物類別銷貨額升幅最大,達到23.1%,網上銷貨額在1月按年下降4.2%,為3年來首次下跌。

該行另一代理表示,相較於去年12月的約16萬人次,入境訪客人數得到更明顯增長,1月入境人數升至近50萬人次。然而,目前旅客人數僅疫情前高峰水平約十分之一。在2月入境人數限制取消後,旅客人數預計將進一步回升。月內較矚目租賃,一家連鎖藥妝店以月租50萬租用尖沙嘴廣東道14號地下商鋪,1000方呎,租金較前租客溥儀眼鏡折讓約55%。

觀塘市中心重建項目 研加住宅發展

受惠起動九龍東計劃,觀塘商廈供應增加,並逐漸發展成新興商業區。不過,受市況影響,去年底已推出招標的市建局觀塘市中心第4、5區重建項目,難逃流標命運,最終局方研究加入住宅等元素重推,增加吸引力。

規劃多年的觀塘市中心第4、5區重建項目於今年1月截標,當時僅截獲1份標書,入標者為區內大地主新地 (00016) ,但市建局最終表示,經詳細審議其入標價後,決定收回項目。

結合一地多用 靈活調撥樓面

其後,市建局行政總監韋志成在同月透露,當局研究將用地由「商業用途」改變為「其他指定用途 (混合發展)」的發展模式,並結合「一地多用」概念,在地盤獲准發展的地積比率為12倍及「浮動規劃參數」機制維持不變的基礎上,加入住宅發展元素,讓日後的中標發展商可更靈活調撥發展樓面,以作住宅、辦公、酒店和零售等不同發展。

試行垂直城市 鞏固核心地位

當局亦計劃就用地試行「垂直城市」(Vertical City) 發展理念,以高空發展的都市形態進行更新規劃,興建1幢地標式建築,鞏固其在九龍東的核心地位。參考紐約市曼哈頓區最新1個重建項目,在該發展理念下,1座樓高約70層的綜合用途的地標建築物中,40樓以上發展為住宅,40樓以下則重建為酒店、辦公室及商場用途。當局會爭取在今年內向城規會提交改變規劃用途的申請。

事實上,觀塘的商業樓面陸續增加,即使撇除上述重建項目,單計去年底落成的 The Millennity、伯恩光學楊建文家族旗下業發工業大廈,以及有待推出的觀塘行動區等3幅商業地,區內的5個項目已經提供近430萬平方呎樓面。

前身為九巴車廠的 The Millennity,由新地與系內載通國際 (00062) 合作發展。項目由2座物業組成,分別提供20層高甲級寫字樓,總樓面約65萬平方呎,基座則是10層高的大型商場,佔地約50萬平方呎,規模與同區apm相若。

至於業發工業大廈1期去年已經獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價23.49億元。值得一提的是,楊氏家族於2017年已以約16.2億元統一業發工業大廈2期業權,並於2021年已連同比鄰的1期地盤,及年運工業大廈向城規會申請一併重建為1幢商廈,亦已獲城規會批准。而年運工業大廈已於本月初以底價11.08億元由相關人士成功統一業權。

Swiss gallery Hauser & Wirth leases 10,000 sq ft of ‘accessible’ space at 8 Queen’s Road Central


Hauser will move to the grade A tower in Central business district from its current space in H Queen’s by the end of the year

The Zurich-headquartered gallery joins rivals Christie’s and Phillips in moving to new locations

Hauser & Wirth, a major Swiss contemporary and modern art gallery, is relocating to new premises in Hong Kong’s Central business district, to give art patrons and customers better access to its galleries, according to one of its top executives.

Zurich-headquartered Hauser will occupy 10,000 sq ft of space on the ground and first level of 8 Queen's Road Central, located at the intersection of Queen’s Road Central, Ice House Street and Duddell Street, before the end of the year. Hauser currently occupies the 15th and 16th floors at H Queen's, also in Central.

“Art is for all, and as a gallery we try and make it accessible and spark curiosity,” said Elaine Kwok, managing partner for Asia at Hauser. “Being able to welcome visitors to the space at street level is a wonderful feature of our new enhanced space, and it brings it in line with our galleries in major art hubs globally, making it more accessible for both local audiences and overseas travellers.”

Central is also easy to reach and has an established network of galleries and institutions, she added.

The move comes as Hong Kong and mainland China have fully reopened after nearly three years of Covid-19 pandemic curbs, including strict travel requirements, allowing the return of mainland Chinese tourists to the city. It also follows some other top galleries that are moving to newer and much larger premises.

Hauser did not share details of its current and new lease agreements, but space at H Queen's is available between HK$70 (US$8.92) and HK$130 per square foot per month versus HK$92 and HK$100 per square foot at 8 Queen's Road Central, according a property agency.

H Queen's, developed by Henderson Land in 2017, has four other galleries including David Zwirner and Tang Contemporary Art. The tenants at the 23-year-old 8 Queen's Road Central, owned by Sing Pao Investment, are mostly accounting and law firms.

“In terms of location, 8 Queen's Road Central is closer to the heart of Central, but H Queen's has sophisticated bundling specifications, which can cater to the galleries and lifestyle businesses,” a surveyor said.

Hauser opened its Hong Kong gallery five years ago and has hosted exhibitions, including solo presentations by Annie Leibovitz and Mark Bradford among others.

Christie’s signed a 10-year lease in 2021 at The Henderson, owned by the developer of the same name and designed by Zaha Hadid architects. The building, is located in Central where the Murray Road multistorey car park used to stand. With a space of 50,000 sq ft across four storeys, the prestigious auctioneer says the space would allow it to hold year-round auctions and private sales from 2024.

Russian-owned auction house Phillips signed a leasing deal in December to occupy 48,000 sq ft of space at the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority Tower to house its Asia headquarters. Phillips moved its gallery from St. George’s Building in Central this month, while its office is set to move to the new location later this year.

中環中心每呎73元租出

由「磁帶大王」陳秉志旗下中環中心1個單位,建築面積近1900方呎,以每呎73元租出,屬略高市價水平。

「磁帶大王」陳秉志持有

上址為中環中心6709室,建築面積約1894方呎,意向呎租90元,近日減至每呎73元租出,月租約13.8萬,代理表示,該單位望山景,租金略高於市價,反映兩地通關以來,市場氣氛逐漸好轉,甲廈亦受帶動。

中環中心於過去1年,租賃以39樓低層細單位為主,該全層拆售後,業主爭相以低價招徠,呎租介乎35元至40元水平,個別單位呎租更低至32元,為過去13年以來該廈呎租新低;至於該廈高層及全層單位,呎價屬於正常水平。「小巴大王」馬亞木旗下中環中心68樓全層,去年11月由證券公司以每呎約70元承租,月租約175萬。

豐樹粉嶺物流中心獲洽 華潤物流出價逾5.5億

新加坡淡馬錫旗下豐樹產業早前放售2項物流中心,當中,位處粉嶺的豐樹粉嶺物流中心,獲準買家積極洽購,出價逾5.5億,市場消息指,準買家以華潤物流呼聲高。

總樓面逾13.7萬方呎

粉嶺業和街4至8號豐樹粉嶺物流中心,樓高5層,佔地面積約27588方呎,總樓面約137382方呎,若以洽購價逾5.5億計算,呎價約4000元,據悉,準買家以華潤物流呼聲高。

華潤物流近年購入不少大型物業,包括去年中,向嘉里建設購入柴灣貨倉和沙田貨倉,作價46.2億。

豐樹產業目前亦出售石門偉達中心逾50%業權,該廈樓高達22層,並於1996年落成,總樓面約961242方呎,是次由豐樹基金出售部分涉509174方呎,市值逾25億,呎價約5000元。

平均呎價約4000

據了解,豐樹產業亦活躍於市場,並於去年11月份,夥拍太盟投資購入九龍灣高銀金融國際中心,作價56億,平均呎價6086元,易手後該廈改稱為「KC17」,皆因位處啟祥道17號。

此外,近期該廈的17樓1室,建築面積約1.6萬方呎,以月租639210元租出,平均呎租40元,新租客為佳達睡衣,以購入價計算,回報高達7.9厘。

法巴傳棄租國際金融中心二期3層  7萬呎樓面覓新客 意向每呎160元

踏入後疫情時代,跨國企業持續削減營運成本,包括調整寫字樓租用規模。中環指標甲級商廈國際金融中心二期 (IFC 2) 首批大型租戶之一的法國巴黎銀行 (BNP Paribas,下稱法巴),現租用該廈4層,租約明年到期,據悉將放棄其中3層,涉及接近7萬方呎樓面。大業主正把相關樓面放租,意向呎租約160元,成為國際金融中心二期未來一年最大宗樓面放租個案。

法巴目前正租用國際金融中心二期60至63樓共4層為香港總部,每層租用面積 (Lettable Area) 約23295方呎,合共約93810方呎,有關租約明年2月到期。據悉,法巴有意放棄續租部分樓面,原先只打算續租60及63樓兩層,近期有意只「留低」63樓一層。至於其餘3層,大業主現已推出市場放租,合共69885方呎樓面,意向呎租約160元,即每層月租約372.7萬元,3層總月租逾1118萬元。

遷太古坊商廈節省開支

早前消息傳出,法巴部分部門如資產管理業務等的辦公室,已由國際金融中心二期搬遷到鰂魚涌太古坊林肯大廈,為逐步收縮中環辦公室規模作出準備。

資料顯示,法巴早於2006年起承租國際金融中心二期5層半樓面作為香港總部;2011年縮減至租用59至63樓共5層,合共總租用樓面達11.65萬方呎。法國巴黎銀行2018年才續租上述樓面6年,至2024年,月租高達2096.55萬元,呎租達180元。

不過,法巴突然在2021年初提早3年退租59樓全層,並推出該層招頂租,最後由對沖基金Citadel以每呎150元租用,月租約349萬元。法巴則留用國際金融中心二期4層至今,但相信明年會再進一步收縮樓面。

事實上,法巴早已部署把辦公室搬遷到非核心商業區以節省租金開支,早年已租用太古坊電訊盈科中心超過5層,涉及約7萬方呎;2018年更加大手向太古地產 (01972) 租用太古坊林肯大廈8層共10萬方呎樓面,涉及月租約450萬元,呎租45元,租期長達10年,目前合共在太古坊租用約17萬方呎樓面。市場人士表示,法巴亦有意洽租全新商廈太古坊二座最少一層約2.5萬方呎樓面。

華泰金融平18%續約中環中心

雖然本港已恢復與內地及海外通關,但本港寫字樓空置率高企,市場暫時未見有矚目新租賃成交個案,主要仍以大手續租為主。日本投資銀行野村續租國際金融中心二期30至32樓共3層3年,總租用樓面共70440方呎,成交月租約915萬元,呎租約130元,較野村曾租用的最高呎租200元低35%。

另外,同區皇后大道中99號中環中心62樓全層,建築面積26356方呎,現租客華泰金融控股落實續租,最新月租約205.6萬元,呎租約78元。

根據資料,華泰金融控股在2018年底開始租用上述全層,當年月租高達250萬元,呎租約95元,最新租金下跌近18%。該層由世茂房地產 (00813)主席許榮茂持有。

Foot Locker港6分店 將全綫結業

品牌全球大收縮 涉旺角尖沙咀萬呎舖

通關有利零售,惟個別品牌選擇進行收縮。美國連鎖運動服裝品牌Foot Locker進行全球大收縮,據悉,本港全綫6間分店將結業,包括尖沙咀4層旗艦店,以及旺角家樂坊近兩萬呎舖位。

運動服裝品牌Foot Locker行政總裁日前表示,預計將於2026年之前,關閉全球420間生意額不達標的分店。亞洲業務上,品牌將結束港澳業務,韓國分店則會維持。品牌在港6間分店,包括尖沙咀、旺角、九龍灣、沙田、元朗及屯門。目前,品牌全球分店逾3千間。

尖沙咀複式舖 月租約230

據了解,Foot Locker於多年前曾在港開設分店,其後遷出。2018年品牌回歸,首間分店位於尖沙咀,以230萬元租用尖沙咀北京道及亞士厘道交界的裕華國際大廈複式舖位,涉及地下至3樓共4層,合共約2.7萬平方呎,而該店曾為思捷環球 (00330) 旗艦店。

Foot Locker多層舖位售賣男裝、女裝與小童波鞋和運動服,以及球衣等。其後品牌拓展據點,以約200萬元租旺角家樂坊地下1.8萬平方呎舖位,亦即前H&M時裝旗艦店;其後品牌繼續增設分店,全數位於商場內。據了解,部分分店早前亦已續租。

通關後旅客重返,近期商舖洽租個案上升,消息指,銅鑼灣羅素街 2000廣場地下舖位,面積約3,916平方呎,獲以80萬元洽租。

消息稱,出價較進取的為一家跨國醫療機構集團,另亦有本地藥妝品牌洽租。

2000廣場地舖 80萬獲洽租

翻查資料,2000廣場多層舖位,面積約1.5萬平方呎,2013年時正值零售高峰期,獲名牌Prada以900萬元租用作旗艦店,惟其後遇上疫情,品牌提前撤出。業主其後把多層舖位分拆招租,樓上兩層樓面已獲餐廳租用。

舖位買賣方面,宏安集團 (01222) 和位元堂 (00897) 日前公布,位元堂旗下間接全資附屬公司,以約6,680萬元售出大圍道商舖。舖位為大圍道66號、68號、70號及72號地下及部分天井B號舖,總實用面積約655平方呎,位元堂將售後租回舖位3年,租約期由2023年6月30日起,月租約18.6萬元,買家可享租金回報約3.3厘。

山頂獨立屋呎價 挑戰亞洲新高

白加道45號內地客12億洽購 呎價逾25萬

通關後超級豪宅成交明顯增加,消息指,資本策略 (00497) 旗下山頂白加道全新4層獨立屋,獲內地買家以12億元洽購至尾聲,呎價高達25.5萬元,將為亞洲最貴呎價豪宅單位。

市場消息指,資本策略旗下山頂超級豪宅獲洽購,涉及白加道45號,屬全新獨立屋項目。物業樓高4層,總實用面積約4,700平方呎,項目位於傳統豪宅地段,享全維港景,亦因屬全新獨立屋,屬非常罕有,發展商年初曾預告推售,並指獲不少查詢。消息稱,該獨立屋近日獲內地買家積極洽購,出價高達12億元,有望短期內易手。

二級歷史建築 資策2011年2億購

按物業面積約4,700平方呎計,呎價高達25.5萬元,將為亞洲最貴呎價豪宅單位。2016年,山頂施勳道3號施勳別墅2樓A室連車位等以3億元售出,實用面積約1,361平方呎,實用呎價約220,426元,當時屬收購原因,為統一業權故以天價購入項目最後一伙。

翻查資料,上述項目原為Villa Blanca,原業主為知名工業家黃克競,物業已被評為二級歷史建築,2011年獲資本策略以2億元購入,並隨即向城規會申請重建為一幢樓高4層低密度住宅項目,只會保留其向街外牆的原貌及設置歷史解說標示。2015年,集團完成補地價,涉資1.032億元。

白加道為最優質豪宅地段之一,不少名人亦擁有獨立屋,如由恒地 (00012) 「四叔」李兆基家族於2010年以18.2億元購入白加道35號屋地,重建成皇宮屋,該物業最新租值約2,418萬元。

同地段租務上,早前白加道31號一幢洋房,實用面積3,204平方呎,屬於5房間隔,並連約2,200平方呎私人花園及1,013平方呎天台,以月租約35萬元租出,呎租約109元。

通關後轉旺 中峽道24號8.8億洽

自從中港通關後,豪宅市場即轉暢旺,特別超級豪宅地段,連環出現大手洽購消息。包括莊士機構 (00367) 或相關人士持有的山頂中峽道24號屋地,獲8.8億元洽購至尾聲,料快將易手,佔地約17,000平方呎,現時設有一幢兩層獨立屋,佔地約1.63萬平方呎,可建總面約8,165平方呎,以8.8億元洽購價計,每呎樓面地價約10.7萬元。

另外,由馬來西亞「錫礦大王」陸佑家族持有馬己仙峽道30至38號地皮,早前獲本地財團以43億元積極洽購,料快將易手,物業地盤面積約66,650平方呎,按物業可重建樓面面積約43,322平方呎計,每平方呎樓面地價約10萬元。

山頂分層豪宅同樣承接力強,早前山頂超級豪宅MOUNT NICHOLSON第3期中層D室,實用面積約4,596平方呎,4套房設計,連同一個單號車位,以3.9億元售出,呎價約84,856元。另外,日前第一集團公布,旗下九龍塘根德道20號獨立大屋售出,成交價約4.5億元,呎價約7萬元。

內地富豪重臨 貴價豪宅再現旺氣

本港今年初通關後,細價樓及豪宅率先起動,特別是吸引更多內地富豪的資金流入香港,帶動超級豪宅交投,刺激樓市氣氛。

逾半億豪宅成交 年初錄52

隨着中港恢復通關,3方面刺激本港樓市。首先是通關後,在內地的豪宅潛在買家更加容易實地睇樓,從而增加香港豪宅市場的需求,例如據一間代理行上月中數據顯示,單是今年初一個多月時間,一手市場逾半億的豪宅成交便錄得52宗,按季大增63%,連同今個月,相信豪宅成交量增幅將會更為明顯。

至於近期入市豪宅的買家,亦正正以內地客為重要客源,例如由第一集團持有的九龍塘根德道豪宅重建項目,據指以5億元易手,有傳買家亦是內地人士;而上月以4,360萬元沽出的一間北角海璇豪宅單位,買家亦屬於內地客,並支付多達3成「辣招稅」。

除了內地客源增加,改變過去幾年疫情下香港樓市「塘水滾塘魚」的困局外,與內地通關後亦會帶動商貿、旅遊等經濟發展,對於本港實際經濟有推動作用。按照政府估算,今年香港經濟增長便有機會達3.5至5.5%,明顯較2022年下跌3.5%為佳。

實體經濟增長將會帶動本港的就業情況,以至薪酬增長,則對於本港細價樓市場有幫助,相信是近期多個主打細單位、上車盤的新盤熱賣原因之一。

最後,隨着通關後經濟好轉,市場氣氛亦向好,當市場減價、劈價情況減少,準買家及投資者對於入市的信心亦會增加,在互相影響下,有望進一步推動樓市升溫。

Koko Mare list unveiled


Koko Mare in Lam Tin, developed by Wheelock Properties, has released the first price list, offering 98 units, with the cheapest at HK$5.94 million.

The discounted average price is about HK$18,330 per square foot, which is about 2 percent higher than Koko Rosso launched in February.

And Baker Circle Euston in Hung Hom, developed by Henderson Land Development (0012), has put another 56 flats on the market, with the lowest price at HK$3.99 million.

Wheelock Properties managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu expects developers to gradually increase prices for new projects as market conditions improve.

Meanwhile, In One, jointly developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066) in Ho Man Tin, has received more than 9,600 checks for the 179 units in the three price lists while Twin City and VMS Asset Management reported the sale of a three-bedroom flat at The Vertex in Cheung Sha Wan for HK$14.35 million.

In other news, the Buildings Department approved 23 building plans in January. One of them was CK Asset's (1113) project at the junction of Lau Yip Street and Chung Yip Road in Yuen Long for 112 two-story garden houses. Also, Sino Land (0083) was allowed to build 11 residential buildings for its project at the Gold Coast in Tuen Mun, and Kerry Hung Kai Warehouse, held by Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) and Kerry Properties (0683), was given the go-ahead for a 35-story commercial and residential project.

Outlook for Hong Kong’s property market bright as end of interest rate increases in sight, analysts say

Overall home sales in Hong Kong could reach 66,000 units this year, up from 45,000 last year, analyst says

Major Hong Kong banks left their best lending rate unchanged even after the Hong Kong Monetary Authority raised the city’s base rate to a 15-year high of 5.25 per cent

With Hong Kong likely to have reached the peak of interest rate increases, sales of new and lived-in homes could hit 66,000 units this year, up nearly 50 per cent from last year, according to one analyst.

Market observers are confident the city’s property market is likely to improve further during the rest of the year, boosted by a number of positive developments, including the release of pent-up demand as well as the return of mainland Chinese buyers following the reopening of the border.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority on Thursday raised the city’s base rate to a 15-year high of 5.25 per cent, after the US Federal Reserve increased its target rate by a quarter point to a range of 4.75 per cent to 5 per cent. However, Hong Kong’s major lenders did not follow suit. HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong) kept their best lending rates unchanged at 5.625 per cent, while Standard Chartered kept its prime rate unchanged at 5.875 per cent.

“With the interest rate hikes [most likely] coming to a halt, this will definitely benefit first-time buyers because they are quite price-sensitive and interest-rate-sensitive,” a property agent said, adding that “majority” of potential buyers in the city are first-time buyers.

A total of 13,161 residential units, comprising 1,958 new homes and 11,203 lived-in units, have been sold in Hong Kong between January 1 and March 22, the agency said, citing Land Registry data.

The transaction volume was already about 25 per cent more than the 10,560 homes sold in the first three months of 2022, comprising 1,704 new homes and 8,856 lived-in units. In 2022, 45,000 homes were sold, a 27-year low.

Some 1,300 homes have been sold so far this month, the agent said, adding that the number will easily hit 2,300 for March, nearly double last month’s figures and a 28-month high.

“With banks deciding not to follow the latest US interest-rate hike, and the Fed likely to increase rates one last time in its next policy meeting, Hong Kong interest rates could be at their peak already or very close to it,” the agent said. “I believe the overall interest rates and mortgage rates are likely to hover around the current level for the remainder of the year.”

The border reopening with mainland China is also boosting the confidence of investors to snap up property as an economic recovery is also likely to bolster demand for homes in Hong Kong.

A rising prime rate will hurt the property market as mortgage-loan borrowers face higher monthly repayments, a mortgage broker said.

The payment on a typical HK$5 million (US$643,000), 30-year mortgage would rise by 1.6 per cent, or HK$347, to HK$22,452 per month, if the prime rate increases by 12.5 basis points, according to the mortgage broker. A quarter-point increase would cost 3 per cent more, or HK$695, to HK$22,803.

In 2020, home sales in Hong Kong reached about 63,0000 units, rising to 76,000 in 2021. Sales ticked higher following the government’s initiative in 2019 to relax mortgage-lending rules, allowing first-time homebuyers to secure loans up to 90 per cent of a flat’s value, for lived-in homes worth up to HK$8 million, up from HK$4 million previously.

“It is expected that the US interest-rate hike cycle will peak in or before May, while Hong Kong’s rate hike cycle is likely to have peaked,” another mortgage broker said. “The property market has already eliminated interest-rate concerns. Thanks to many favourable factors in recent months, the market has revived in the first quarter.”

The Fed’s eight consecutive interest rate hikes over the past 12 months to rein in runaway inflation in the US has inflicted unintended consequences on the US economy. It led to the collapse of three midsize US banks, including Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) - the biggest banking failure since the 2008 financial crisis.

“The SVB problem may prompt the Federal Reserve to slow down the pace of interest rate rises or even reduce interest rates,” said Raymond Cheng, managing director at CGS-CIMB Securities. “We think the mortgage rate in Hong Kong is likely to peak [because of] the lower rate hike outlook after the SVB issue.”

On the other hand, the recent uptick in demand for homes in Hong Kong is due to the release of pent-up demand, according to another agent.

“While transactions year-to-date appear to have rebounded somewhat, it is likely the result of pent-up demand and lower prices,” the agent said. “With rising rates as an overhang, the market is still far from being buoyant.”

金鐘遠東金融中心7189萬易手 投資者林清林沽售 呎價3.39萬

投資市場氣氛好轉,不過,6年前購入的甲廈仍虧損離場。投資者林清林沽售金鐘遠東金融中心一個單位,建築面積2119方呎,作價7189萬,平均每呎3.39萬,持貨6年帳面虧損9%。

上址遠東金融中心23樓2室,建築面積2119方呎,市場消息透露,該單位由去年5月交吉,叫價1.07億,每呎5萬,放盤10個月未獲承接,近期終獲洽購,買家有見全面通關,看好甲廈後市,在雙方討價還價下,賣方大幅減價3511萬,幅度約33%,以7189萬易手。

面積2119方呎

原業主為投資者林清林,於2016年12月斥7892萬購入上址,持貨6年,期間雖經歷甲廈大升浪,未有及時止賺,今番帳面虧損約703萬,幅度9%。

6年帳面虧損9%

物業再上手業主於2009年8月,趁海嘯期間低迷時購入單位,涉資3030.2萬,於2016年間沽售,帳面勁賺4861.8萬,升幅1.6倍。

過去14年來,甲廈價格及租金走勢如坐過山車,由2009年海嘯期間起步,直至2019年動亂之前達至高峰,指標甲廈價格相繼破頂。

其中,深圳君豪置業於2017年7月以7.3億購入中環中心頂樓79樓全層,平均呎價5.58萬,創下當時全港商廈呎價新高,一個月後該公司再下一城,購入遠東金融中心33樓全層,呎價5.26萬,當時創該廈新高,亦是當時全港甲廈呎價第二貴。

隨後,核心區甲廈造價及租金不斷破頂,遠東金融中心最高紀錄亦是33樓全層於2018年4月由永倫集團承接,呎價高達約6.11萬,緊接紀錄由皇后大道中9號每呎6.18萬所打破。

總括來說,遠東金融中心於2019年初,平均呎價5.5萬,售價10年升5倍,成為甲廈之冠,力寶中心以平均呎價4.16萬居第二位。

近年在疫市持續下,甲廈買賣租賃兩閒,租金亦大跌逾70%,直至近期才略有改善。

資深投資者6年前購入金鐘甲廈,經歷甲廈大升浪,未把握止賺時機,至今沽售虧損9%。

羅素街2000廣場巨鋪每月100萬租出

兩地通關後,鋪市租賃趨活躍,由「玩具大王」蔡志明持有的銅鑼灣羅素街2000廣場,其中一個複式巨鋪以每月100萬租出,新租客為歐洲醫療集團。

歐洲醫療集團設旗艦店

羅素街2至4號2000廣場其中一個地鋪,面積約2000方呎,連同樓上3樓面積約5188方呎,合共7188方呎,獲歐洲醫療集團垂青,在此設立香港旗艦店,平均呎租139元。

2000廣場地鋪至3樓,曾是國際名牌Prada旗艦店,高峰期時月租900萬,自從疫情後,鋪位亦丟空一段時間,年前拆細招租,2樓鋪位相繼獲特色食肆進駐,最新地下複式鋪亦租出,正顯示遊客重臨後,鋪市逐漸升溫,而且,隨着醫療行業進駐,令該街道租客多元化。

特色食肆相繼承租

羅素街是遊客必到朝聖地,曾是全球最貴租街道,2013年高峰期,鋪位更以平均呎租2812元,創下歷史紀錄,惟2014年後自由行褪色,鋪租節節下跌。

近年疫市下缺乏遊客,國際名牌紛撤走,街道換上時裝、食肆以及口罩等短租客,租金普遍大跌80%,但租賃還是熱鬧。

近期,隨着兩地通關,羅素街呈現新景象,由英皇持有的羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心地下3及5號鋪 (面積3068方呎),近期由六福珠寶金行承租,更一簽6年長約,首3年月租80萬,其後3年則跟隨市況作調節。六福在此覓據點多時,過往鐘表品牌激烈,今次終如願得償。

近年政府持續有序地增加土地及房屋供應,屋宇署昨日公布,今年1月批出15項住宅及商住發展的建築圖則,意味多個發展項目可於未來陸續上馬;當中包括多個大型發展項目,最矚目為信和集團黃氏家族持有的屯門黃金海岸項目,獲批建11幢住宅群,涉及可建總樓面約39.2萬方呎。

屋宇署昨日公布,今年1月共批出23份建築圖則,包括15項住宅及商住發展、5項商業發展、2項工廠及工業發展,以及1項社區服務發展。其中,信和集團黃氏家族旗下Golden Organise Ltd公司持有的屯門掃管笏第57區第3A地盤,即屯門黃金海岸範圍內,獲批建11幢樓高6至18層的住宅大廈,另設4幢1至2層高的住宅休憩設施等建築物,涉可建總樓面約39.29萬方呎。

525 flats snapped up as weekend sales sizzle


At least 525 new flats sold over the weekend nearly froze the second-hand market as Chinachem raised prices by 4.5 percent for the second batch of units at In One at an average price of around HK$25,600 per square foot.

In One's phase 1B atop Ho Man Tin MTR station, co-developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066), sold all 179 units on the price lists within a day of launching sales.

Approximately 80 percent of the buyers were purchasing the flats for their own use but there was also a group of customers who bought 4 three-bedroom flats for HK$68 million for investment purposes, Chinachem said.

Around 60 percent of the buyers were non-locals including customers from overseas and the mainland, it said.

The developer has now released the sales brochure of In One's phase 1C which offers a total of 214 flats and unveiled the first price list for 80 units.

The 80 flats are offered at a discounted average price of HK$25,953 per sq ft, which is 4.5 percent more than the average price for the first price list of phase 1B.

Chinachem said there is still room to increase prices by at least 3 percent.

The 80 flats range from 465 to 934 sq ft in area with the cheapest priced at HK$12.16 million.

As In One is situated above an MTR station and its pricing is appealing, it is highly sought-after in the market, a property agency said.

It is anticipated that phase 1C will satisfy demand from potential buyers including local and overseas customers.

The agency expects that investment buyers will make up 50 percent of the buyers for the new batch of flats.

Meanwhile, Grand Jeté Phase 2 in Tuen Mun, jointly developed by CK Asset (1113) and Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), sold 346 of a total of 400 flats on offer.

The 344 flats were sold for HK$1.62 billion, with all one-bedroom apartments sold out.

After unveiling the first price list of 98 units, Koko Mare, developed by Wheelock Properties in Lam Tin, has received about 1,200 checks as of yesterday, making them 11 times oversubscribed.

In the secondary market, another property agency said the number of transactions at 10 major housing estates fell by 45 percent compared to the previous weekend to a 14-week low of only five deals.

本月料錄102宗商廈買賣 代理行:將創16個月新高

有代理行指,隨着全面通關,商廈買賣登記量起動,3月份截至23日為止,商廈暫錄75宗買賣,較2月全月的45宗大增67%,預期全月最終可錄約102宗,按月料大幅反彈1.27倍,有力創自2021年12月以來的16個月新高,並為期內首度重越百宗水平。

期內首度重越100宗水平

該行代理表示,2023年2月份全港共錄45宗商廈買賣登記,較1月份的46宗微跌1宗或2%,持續4個月在半百宗以下的極低水平反覆震盪。

2月份商廈買賣登記量穩值跌,當中登記金額連瀉兩月,按月再大減50%,創下自2020年8月以來的31個月新低,僅錄6.31億,當中主要是受5000萬以上大額商廈買賣登記顯著回落影響。

外資代理行:黃竹坑甲廈平均呎租27.6元

黃竹坑近年發展迅速,舊廠廈紛變甲廈,仲有外資代理行代理表示,供應之多,令空置率高居全港第一,平均呎租僅27.6元,與東九龍一樣。

租金水平與東九龍一樣

該代理指,黃竹坑與金鐘及中環距離近,港鐵車程需時僅6至7分鐘,目前甲廈平均呎租27.6元,較中區呎租90.2元低69.4%,比較港島東平均呎租44.8元,亦低38.4%,與東九龍平均呎租27.5元沒有分別,令租戶有廉價高質素的選擇。

代理續說,預期黃竹坑甲廈日後租金追落後,目前廉宜,只因供應多,空置率高企,根據該行統計,目前區內寫字樓總樓面約400萬方呎,空置率高達24.2%,屬全港最高,高於東九龍的19.7%。

現時,區內將再有一幢地標甲廈偉華匯 (ViP) 即將落成,提供近30萬方呎的樓面,意向呎租30至35元。

偉華匯意向呎租逾30

項目位處香葉道36號,全層建築面積由10749至11963方呎,意向呎租30至35元,若然扣除免租期,最低呎租不足30元,今年第4季落成。項目設計具特色,車輛可停於門外,方便用家直入大堂,與中環國際金融中心一樣。

代理表示,偉華匯樓高27層,另有3層地庫停車場,總樓面約299095方呎,屬純寫字樓,發展商曾考慮於低層設零售樓面,惟考慮到港島南岸商場今年底落成,面積逾50萬方呎,配套齊全,放棄有關構思。

市場消息指,偉華匯發展商偉華集團,創辦人蔡經陽,70年代在區內設廠,近年涉足地產發展,自用的怡安工業大廈,重建全新工廈傲南廣場,300多伙於兩年前拆,套現約30億,至於偉華匯將長綫收租。

新甲廈選擇多 商戶搬遷好時機

外資代理行代理:下半年整體租務將增

通關帶動商業活動,有外資代理行代理認為,下半年租務活動將明顯增加,而在租金經過調整,以及新甲廈落成選擇多的情況下,對商戶來說絕對是搬遷好時機,並相信租金可緩緩向上。

去年疫情衝擊及封關下,商廈租務活動少,而近期隨着全面通關,情況有改善。該行行最新發表的香港地產報告中指出,甲廈市場連續3個月錄得負淨吸納量後,2月重新錄得16,900平方呎淨吸納量,寫字樓租賃查詢及睇樓活動趨增。

據了解,成交個案中,專業服務公司德勤租用觀塘 The Millennity 兩層樓面,涉及面積共38,800平方呎,以整合其位於金鐘的部分辦公空間。另外,中環新甲廈 The Henderson 兩層樓面,每層面積約1.4萬平方呎,合共約2.8萬平方呎,新租客為加拿大退休金計劃投資局 (CPPIB),屬同區搬遷。

下半年成交料增 租金可回升

該代理指,通關後整體商業氣氛的確轉好,「不論本地、跨國及中資機構,查詢及睇樓漸活躍。」代理強調,即時租務尚未大量出現,認為始終需要一些時間,「暫未見大批新公司來港,估計待年中後,畢竟企業要時間部署,不會立即來港開業。相信通關後中資會有擴充,主要為金融、銀行業等。」

數據顯示,最新甲廈空置率微升至12.3%,租金方面,目前整體市場租金按月下跌約0.8%,主要分區市場中,中環、灣仔/銅鑼灣等租金均呈現下跌,惟跌幅不算多。

代理認為,目前甲廈空置率無疑偏高,亦有大批新供應,故現時正是機構搬遷好時機,「租金由高位調整至頗理想價格,中環個別甲廈已跌3成,機構可把握機會擴充、升級。此外,疫情後有機構希望重新規劃辦公室格局,令員工更多時間留在辦公室,故會作出搬遷。作為租客,可用3年前的租金水平,現進行升級,市場待租樓面多,新甲廈供應亦多,故上半年絕對是搬遷最佳時機。」至於近日環球金融機構出現問題,代理指尚未發現企業在租務興趣上降低。後市上,該代理認為新供應多,非一兩個月可消化,但相信隨着企業未來兩至三個月落實計劃,今年下半年成交量明顯增加,租金可慢慢回升。

黃竹坑區 企業搬遷理想地

搬遷既可升級,又可節省租金開支。代理分析,黃竹坑是企業搬遷理想之選,「交通上,與金鐘僅兩站距離,而南區向來有遊艇會、高爾夫球會等,不少企業老闆對該區設辦公點感興趣。」

租金上,現時黃竹坑呎租約27.6元,「與東九龍價錢接近,港島區客戶要選擇搬遷,黃竹坑比起東九龍近。若與中環比較,黃竹坑租金僅為其三分之一。」該代理指,若中環租金愈高,黃竹坑區愈有優勢,而未來一兩年各項配套如商場、住宅等相繼落成,該區可望成為焦點。

Hong Kong’s office glut to come under further pressure from Credit Suisse-UBS merger, analysts say

With thousands of jobs at risk from Credit Suisse-UBS tie-up and more on the line across the wider financial sector, the outlook for Hong Kong’s office sector looks bleak

The vacancy rate at Hong Kong’s grade A offices continued to inch higher last month, rising 0.1 per cent month on month, while rents dropped 0.2 per cent

The fallout from the UBS-Credit Suisse merger and more job cuts in the finance industry are likely to further squeeze Hong Kong’s premium office market, which is already suffering from a glut of vacant space.

Demand for offices continues to weaken and the market has not yet seen any signs of a rebound even after the reopening of the border with mainland China, analysts said.

“Companies in general have turned more cautious, while some occupiers have been downsizing for cost-saving [and] consolidation,” a property agent said.

Big banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup have reportedly reduced staff in Asia including Hong Kong. And UBS’s US$3.2 billion rescue of smaller Swiss banking rival Credit Suisse – that could put thousands of jobs at risk – could deal another blow to office landlords in the city.

The office vacancy rate in Hong Kong rose 0.1 per cent month on month to 12.3 per cent in February, despite a positive net absorption, according to a report from a property agency on Tuesday. The vacancy rate of grade A offices in the city stood at 12.1 per cent at the end of last year as more supply came onstream in non-core areas, the agency said.

Some key office districts – Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong East, Tsim Sha Tsui and Kowloon East – saw double-digit vacancy rates last month. However, Kowloon East had the highest vacancy rate at 19.7 per cent, the agency’s data showed.

While the size of the potential lay-offs at Credit Suisse is not yet known, it is likely to deepen the gloom in Hong Kong’s office segment, analysts said.

Credit Suisse occupies 10 floors, or 300,000 sq ft, at the 108-storey International Commerce Centre (ICC) in Kowloon, accounting for 15 per cent of the space in Hong Kong’s tallest building. It is the building’s second-biggest tenant after Morgan Stanley.

Last October, UBS said that it would lease 250,000 sq ft of space in Sun Hung Kai Properties’ new project in Kowloon, which is expected to be ready in 2025.

The company had planned to relocate its staff spread across four offices, including Two International Finance Centre in Central, where it occupies 144,000 sq ft, to the new space in 2026.

“We are optimistic towards Hong Kong’s retail market after the border reopening, but as for the office market in the city, we feel pessimistic,” said Raymond Cheng, head of China and Hong Kong research at CGS-CIMB Securities.

“The possible rebound for offices brought by border reopening is far more sluggish than the retail market,” Cheng said, adding that it may take at least six months to a year to see a recovery.

Many multinational corporations that moved to Singapore during the Covid-19 pandemic will not be returning to Hong Kong anytime soon, Cheng said, adding that it will take time to lure mainland companies to Hong Kong.

A surveyor said that new supply including two projects under construction in Central – Cheung Kong Center II and The Henderson – could further weigh on the vacancy rate.

The market may be unable to absorb the new projects because of weak demand, the surveyor said, adding that the market hit by three years of Covid-19 will not recover so easily despite the reopened borders.

“You will find many companies are still taking a flexible-working approach, such as allowing employees to work from home one or two days per week,” the surveyor said. “It has become normal as companies look to save costs.”

These factors are pressuring office rents, and could push them further down.

Hong Kong’s office rents continued to decline in February, with rents falling 0.2 per cent month on month and 7.8 per cent year on year to HK$51.6 per square foot per month, according to data compiled by another property agency.

Even in prime Central, the city’s main business district, rents fell 0.1 per cent month on month to HK$105.3 per square foot per month.

The recovery of Hong Kong’s office market depends on the pace of the city’s economic recovery, an anget said.

“On a brighter note, the recent relaxation of Covid-19 rules and reopened border with mainland China will support office demand from domestic, multinational and mainland China companies,” the agent said.

“Having said that, the recent banking turmoil in the US may trigger uncertainties to the market as the situation continues to unfold, making some companies adopt a wait-and-see attitude in the next couple of weeks,” the agent added.

“We estimate Hong Kong’s office rents may still drop 5 to 10 per cent this year,” said Cheng of CGS-CIMB Securities.

中國海外逾6 沽啟德1號基座商場

啟德區商場獲投資者承接,消息指,中國海外 (00688) 以逾6億元,沽出旗下樓盤啟德1號基座商場舖位。

市場消息稱,啟德錄大額舖位買賣,涉及物業分別為沐寧街2號及8號,均為啟德1號基座商場,2號地下及1樓,面積約17,360平方呎,地下面積由637平方呎起,租客主要為地產代理,1樓則由酒店租用。

總樓面3.5萬呎 投資者買舖

另同地段8號地下及1樓,面積約17,780平方呎,地下租客包括地產代理、醫務所等,1樓為餐廳。據悉,由於啟德有多個大型住宅項目,地產代理行高價搶舖,現時兩商場舖位總月租高見274萬元。據了解,業主中國海外較早前把物業進行標售,消息稱項目獲投資者以逾6億元承接,按總樓面約3.5萬平方呎計,呎價約1.7萬元,現時租金回報率高見約5.5厘。

啟德成近年市區大型住宅焦點地段,而新樓盤基座舖位亦獲承接,如2020年,會德豐以2億元連租約售出OASIS Place商場,面積約10,000平方呎。另2021年,合景泰富 (01813) 及龍湖地產 (00960) 合作發展的啟德住宅尚•珒,基座舖位以2.85億元沽出,買家為建華集團。

中國海外近一年不時推售屋苑商舖,如去年以約4.25億元沽出土瓜灣海悅廣場,涉近4萬平方呎,買家料為本地投資者俊業集團。

商舖買賣方面,北角電氣道160號舖位,面積約480平方呎,以約1,500萬元沽出,舖位現由餐廳3.6萬元租用,回報率約2.9厘。原業主於2012年以2,200萬元購入,蝕700萬元離場,蝕幅達32%。

Shimao puts Sheraton Tung Chung on market for $6.5b


Chinese developer Shimao (0813) has put the dual-branded Sheraton hotel in Tung Chung on the market with an asking price of at least HK$6.5 billion, according to a property agency.

The property includes the Sheraton Hong Kong and Four Points by Sheraton and offers a total of 1,219 rooms.

Opened at the end of 2020, it is Marriott's first dual-branded hotel in Hong Kong and the second largest in the city in terms of room numbers.

The agency said the tender will have two to three rounds with the first round closing in mid-May. The real estate agent expects bids lower than HK$6.5 billion will be rejected by the owner.

The hotel also offers 36,598 square feet of space for indoor and outdoor events, including one of the largest banquet halls in Hong Kong for business meetings, exhibitions and wedding receptions.

It will be sold together with T Bay, the newest shopping mall in Tung Chung, offering restaurants, bars and shops.

The property is close to Hong Kong International Airport, AsiaWorld-Expo, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Shenzhen Port and many popular tourist attractions.

Shimao teamed up with Mingfa (International) (0846) and won the site in 2014 for HK$1.83 billion, or HK$2,998 per sq ft, beating five local consortia.

While tourists are gradually returning to Hong Kong following the reopening of the border in January, the latest sale comes amid Shimao's disposal of several assets as its restructures its offshore debt.

The agency expects the value of hotel deals in the city will increase by 24 percent this year while pointing out that total transactions have averaged US$1 billion (HK$7.8 billion) annually between 2007 and 2022.

Meanwhile, developer C C Land (1224) will remain conservative and reserve cash this year to prepare for a possible "long winter" amid uncertainties, deputy chairman and managing director Peter Lam How-man said.

Lam said the recent financial turmoil has led to the developer's conservative strategy and it will only buy top-class projects with "good value" this year.

He believes global interest rates will continue to rise and thinks it is still too early to tell whether the US hiking cycle is over, in contrast to the recent market bets of rates peaking in May.

Lam also said the mainland's property market is still unstable despite improvements last month, and that the developer has no investment plans in Hong Kong for now.

世茂等東涌酒店逾65億放售 總樓面61萬呎 設逾1200間客房

兩地通關後,首個大型酒店高調放售,由世茂集團等持有的東涌世茂喜來登酒店及福朋喜來登酒店,擁有超過1200間客房,為全港第二大酒店,負責該酒店的仲量聯行發言人指,若買家出價低於65億,預計業主將不會接受。

東涌世茂喜來登酒店及福朋喜來登酒店,2020年底開業,設有1219間房間,以客房數量計為全港第二大酒店,僅次於1608間客房的荃灣西如心酒店,物業尚包括室內外活動場地,面積達約36598方呎,為全港最大型的宴會廳之一,以及「灣景薈T Bay」購物商場,總樓面合共約61萬方呎,負責該項目的仲量聯行發言人指,買家需先遞交意向書,招收意向程序設2至3輪,首輪5月中截止,若買家出價低於65億,預計業主不會接受。

全幢委託代理放售

作為全港第二大酒店,是萬豪在港成立的首家雙品牌酒店,規模能滿足商務會議、展覽及婚宴需求。酒店房間面積則集中300方呎以下,世茂喜來登酒店房間面積由269至280方呎,福朋喜來登酒店由237方呎至258方呎,項目於三年前開業時正值疫市,曾長期作檢疫酒店。

世茂集團夥同明發集團於2014年10月透過子公司銘陽有限公司,以18.3億投得地皮,每呎樓面地價約2998元,酒店距離機場及亞洲博覽館僅10分鐘車程,鄰近港珠澳大橋、深圳口岸及熱門旅遊景點,包括東薈城、天壇大佛、昂坪360纜車及迪士尼樂園。

有外資代理行代理表示,2007年至2022年間的酒店成交總額平均達10億美元,預期酒店市場復甦後,有望帶動今年成交總額增24%。

開業3 曾作檢疫酒店

該行另一代理預期,是次放售將吸引海內外投資者參與。

業主不接受低於65億的出價,若以酒店及商場總樓面約61萬呎計算,平均呎價10656元。

萬科牛頭角舊樓批強拍 底價逾4.5億

市區土地供應罕有,發展商積極收購市區舊樓重建。其中,萬科香港於2021年申請強拍的牛頭角定富街45至47號華發樓、49至51號安賢樓,以及53至63號定勝樓3幢舊樓,最新獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價4.525億。

可建總樓面逾6.8萬方呎

資料顯示,上述舊樓早於1971年至1972年之間落成,整個項目地盤面積約7595方呎,可重建為商住物業,若以最高地積比率9倍重建,可建總樓面約68355方呎,每呎樓面地價約6620元。項目毗鄰觀塘道休憩處,鄰近港鐵牛頭角站,步行前往約5分鐘,極具重建價值。

每呎樓面地價約6620

事實上,萬科香港或相關人士於去年底亦以底價1.415億,成功投得定富街71至79號項目。該項目於1971年落成入伙,現為1幢6層高的商住物業,地下設有4個商鋪,樓上則提供約30個住宅單位,地盤面積約2787方呎,可建總樓面約25083方呎。預計兩個項目合併重建發展,地盤面積將擴展至1.037萬方呎,涉及可建總樓面約9.34萬方呎。

地區商場消費穩定 投資者垂青

商舖買賣整體向好,而地區商場因消費穩定,回報率較高,在息口高的市況下,吸引投資者垂青。

大額買賣方面,今年仍以商舖市場較理想,而地區商場再錄大手成交。消息稱,近日啟德1號兩商場以6億元易手,涉及物業分別為沐寧街2號及8號,均為啟德1號基座商場。2號地下及1樓,面積約17,360平方呎,地下面積由637平方呎起,租客主要為地產代理,1樓則由酒店租用。另同地段8號地下及1樓,面積約17,780平方呎,地下租客包括地產代理、醫務所等,1樓為餐廳。

啟德1號兩商場 回報率5.5

現時兩商場舖位總月租高見274萬元,業主中國海外較早前把物業進行標售,消息稱項目獲投資者以逾6億元承接,按總樓面約3.5萬平方呎計,呎價約1.7萬元,現時租金回報率高見約5.5厘,甚為理想。

啟德新樓盤基座舖位近年承接力不俗,如2021年合景泰富 (01813) 及龍湖地產  (00960) 合作發展的啟德住宅尚.珒溋,基座舖位以2.85億元沽出,買家為建華集團。

本年初,基座商場仍是投資者焦點,如鄧成波家族以約2.1億元,沽出灣仔尚翹峰商場 (連停車場),涉及1座商舖及停車場,面積約1.82平方呎,連50個車位。據了解,波叔於2016年以5.642億元買入尚翹峰1至3座商舖及停車場,當中1座商舖及停車場,共涉2.43億元,是次家族沽貨帳面蝕約3,200萬元。另外,家族仍持有項目第2及3座舖位,面積約7,922平方呎。

基金7.48 購西九匯商場

至於今年最大手商舖成交,亦來自地區屋苑商場,本港房地產信託基金 (REIT) 之一的陽光房地產基金 (00435) 斥7.48億元,購入大角咀西九匯商場。該物業原由資深投資者羅守輝持有,於2012年底以6.3億元向基匯資本購入。物業樓高三層,可出租面積約5.88萬平方呎、連同8個外牆廣告位及17個商業停車位。截至2022年12月底,西九滙出租率90.7%,不包括外牆廣告位及商業停車位的每月租金收入283.5萬元,而商業停車位月收6.76萬元。

去年尾,資本策略亦以4.5億元,沽出屯門啓發徑8號城點基座,物業地庫、地下及1樓,面積約1.7萬平方呎,呎價約2.6萬元。現時租客包括銀行、餐廳及便利店等民生商戶,每月租金收入約140萬元,回報率約3.7厘。

分析指,自去年中起美國開始加息,而近期步伐似乎放緩,但表明年內難減息,故息口仍相對偏高。對投資者來說,回報率較高的物業才有吸引力。商舖投資上,核心區舖位回報率向來偏低,而地區商場、商舖,回報率多4厘或以上,出租率向來穩定,涉及商戶如餐廳、醫務所等,均屬市民日常所需,可為投資者帶來穩定租金收入。在防守性較強下,地區商場仍是投資焦點之一。

九龍灣啟匯 樓面大合企業進駐

九龍灣啟匯屬全海景寫字樓,每層樓面可達4萬平方呎,非常適合企業使用。

啟匯位於九龍灣臨澤街,鄰近啟德跑道區。交通上,由牛頭角港鐵站步行至該廈,需時15分鐘,而業主也提供接駁車。另外,啟德為未來重要住宅及商業區,啟德站亦有巴士前往啟匯,而大廈設有停車場,提供285個車位。

飲食配套方面,物業地下設咖啡室,而上班一族可到附近新落成商廈海濱滙,商場提供不少特色西餐廳。另外,亦可選擇前往步行至Megabox商場,有酒樓、餐廳之外,亦有其他生活商店、戲院等。

物業前身為南豐旗下傲騰廣場,資本策略 (00497) 等合組財團2018年購入,為物業再進行大型翻新。地下大堂換上時尚設計,格調高而寬敞,並加設入閘機等,提高保安質素。

全層樓面達4萬呎

大廈總樓面約77萬平方呎,樓高30層。全層樓面由2.5萬至4萬平方呎,以單層樓面計為區內新供應商廈中,其中一幢最大的寫字樓,絕對適合企業使用,作整合業務。物業分高低2座,低座由3樓至17樓,每層樓面面積較大,可達4萬平方呎,而21樓至30樓屬高座,樓面約2.5萬平方呎。

另外,啟匯處臨海優勢,可享全海景,一面可望向郵輪碼頭,以及啟德住宅發展區。至於另一面望向東九龍樓景,均極為開揚。大廈樓底高,配合全海景,觀感一流。

設巨型LED幕牆

值得一提,啟匯巨型LED幕牆高97米,寬64米,通透率極高,幕牆透過三基色配以數碼技術,能夠呈現多色自由變換,以視覺藝術呈現不同廣告宣傳效果。據悉,近日獲高端功能性服飾及生活品牌Canada Goose租用,於3月中旬作品牌宣傳短片,作大型戶外播放平台。

項目曾由南豐持有,08年獲城規會批准就建築中的工廈,改建為商廈,但需修改地契及補地價,2010年落成,名為傲騰廣場,項目作收租之用。此外,南豐不時把個別樓層,作集團旗下樓盤售樓廠之用。2018年,資本策略、中渝置地 ( 01224)、泛海 (00129) 及萬泰合組財團,斥資75億元,向南豐購入物業,呎價約9,740元。

中環6千呎舖 獲藝廊100萬租用

通關後租務轉好 大樓面舖位租務增

大手舖位租務增,中環皇后大道中8號地下及1樓,約6千呎舖位,獲藝廊以約100萬租用。該舖位早年曾由名店租用,月租料跌約一半。

市場消息指,中環錄大樓面舖位租務成交,涉及皇后大道中8號地下及1樓,地下面積約4,000平方呎,連同1樓約2,000平方呎,合共約6,000平方呎,以每月約100萬元租出。該廈位於皇后大道中頭段,比鄰都爹利街,附近較多特色餐飲及時裝店。

據了解,新租客為一家藝廊,目前租用同區藝廊集中地 H Queen's 樓上全層,如今擴充樓面,而租用地下及1樓,料更方便客人參觀及選購藝術品,亦配合都爹利街一帶環境。事實上,目前附近的皇后大道中9號地下一舖位,亦由藝廊租用。

曾由名店租用 新租金料減半

翻查資料,旅客消費高峰期時,皇后大道中8號地下曾獲法國手袋品牌Longchamp租用,作品牌旗艦店,月租料約200萬元,其後遷出;近年舖位主要由期間限定店租用,現獲藝廊長租。按最新租金計,較高峰期租金料跌約一半。

核心區舖位租務增,如旺角一綫地段西洋菜南街52至54號地下及1樓,面積約3,200平方呎,獲時裝品牌National Geographic Apparel以每月約50萬元租用。該品牌在港分店主要位處商場包括尖沙咀海港城、銅鑼灣時代廣場等,現趁租金便宜,於核心區一綫地段租街舖。上述舖位曾由韓國時裝店MLB租用,現月租跌約44%。

買賣方面,消息稱,葵涌和宜合道58至64A號地下B號舖,面積約1,500平方呎,以約1,760萬元成交,交吉交易。原業主於1999年以550萬元購入,持貨24年獲利約1,210萬元。

甲廈方面,通關後中環甲廈租務成交亦有增加。消息指,中環美國銀行中心中層22室,面積約649平方呎,以每呎約52元租出。按租金計,較疫情時回升約1成。

東涌4商業項目 料增660萬呎樓面

東涌及鄰近的機場航天城,未來幾年將提供大量商業樓面供應,區內4個大型項目合共提供逾660萬平方呎商業樓面,當中港鐵 (00066) 將在未來1年陸續招標的東涌東站項目,商場及辦公室部分合共提供約183萬平方呎樓面。

東涌東站1 未來1年招標

目前所見,東涌一帶未來4個主要商業樓面供應,分別來自新世界 (00017) 的航天城11 SKIES項目 (商業樓面約317萬平方呎)、華懋東涌57區項目 (約126.1萬平方呎樓面),以及港鐵在區內的東涌東站、小蠔灣2個大型商住項目 (合共逾220萬平方呎商業樓面),4個項目預計帶來逾660萬平方呎商業樓面,將會大幅增加東涌一帶商業樓面供應。

當中港鐵跟政府達成協議的東涌東站綜合項目,位於東涌第113區,佔地約82萬平方呎,總樓面約678萬平方呎,7成屬於住宅樓面,若果以平均每個單位約900至1,000平方呎計算,相當於5,000至5,500伙供應。

除了大量住宅單位供應外,項目亦設有約64.6萬平方呎商業零售樓面,相信是配合住宅部分興建的大型商場,同時亦設有辦公室部分涉及約118.4萬平方呎樓面。按照港鐵早前公布,未來1年除了招標東涌東站1期外,還會推出東涌東站的商業項目。

與此同時,港鐵旗下另一個大型項目小蠔灣,整個項目除了提供2萬伙公、私營房屋,其中一半屬於私樓外,還設有一個約37.1萬平方呎的商場。當局已計劃將推出小蠔灣第1期及第2期,而基座商場部分預計亦會逐一招標推出。

航天城11 SKIES 娛樂部分年內開幕

至於其餘2個區內大型商業項目,由華懋以近28億元投得的東涌第57區商業項目,總樓面約126.1萬平方呎,最多3成可作商場用途,亦容許可以作寫字樓以至數據中心用途;而新世界航天城11 SKIES,商業及娛樂部分樓面更達317萬平方呎,亦將會陸續登場。

無論是上述東涌東站 (東涌第113區),或是東涌第57區,均來自政府東涌東填海計劃得來土地,除了提供住宅,還會興建大量商業設施,涉及多達944萬平方呎,計劃建構地區商業中心,當中將以辦公室樓面主導,佔總樓面近6成,涉538.2萬平方呎樓面。同時,新填海區將會供應多達352萬平方呎的零售樓面,及約53.8萬平方呎作為酒店用途。

(經濟日報)

 

商業地價跌 東涌57區流標再重售

疫情及經濟前景不明朗,但未來幾年各區商業樓面供過於求,均導致商業地皮地價大跌。其中華懋投得東涌第57區商業地,中標地價便僅得每平方呎2,202元。

增零售樓面比例 添競爭力

該幅用地佔地約13.3萬平方呎,規劃為「商業」用途地帶,可建樓面逾126萬平方呎,最初在2020年10月首次推出,僅得3份標書,入標價更未達政府底價而流標收回,在去年3月重新招標,當局更要修改招標條款,包括將零售樓面比例由最多1成增加至3成,並容許可以作數據中心用途。

最終地皮由華懋以約27.78億元奪得地皮,即每平方呎樓面地價約2,202元,成交價貼近市場估值下限,華懋計劃興建商場、辦公室及數據中心。

按照後來地政總署公布,華懋中標價已經較次高標價18億元 (每平方呎1,427元) 高出5成,其餘標價更只有約12.88億至14億元,更有發展商「執死雞」出價更只有6,300萬元,即每平方呎僅50元。

Hong Kong’s property market gathers momentum as pre-owned home prices jump by the most since May 2020

An index of pre-owned homes rose to a four-month high of 345.9, following a 2.22 per cent increase in prices in February

Home prices fell 15 per cent last year, the first decline since 2008, as the market was hit by rising mortgage rates and weakening economic sentiment

Hong Kong’s pre-owned home prices rose 2.22 per cent in February, the most in 33 months, as home-buying desire recovered on expectations of slower interest rate hikes and an improvement in economic sentiment following the reopening of the city’s borders.

The home price index stood at 345.9, the highest in four months, according to data from the Rating and Valuation Department. Prices rose by 2.28 per cent in May 2020.

“This is the second consecutive monthly increase,” a property agent said. “The rising momentum will continue if interest rates are stable and the city’s economy improves after the reopening of the borders.”

Activity in the property market increased after the Hong Kong government lowered a decade-old stamp duty on mass-market flats and the city lifted all mandatory mask-wearing requirements and social-distancing measures.

The agent expects home prices to increase by 6 per cent in the first quarter, recovering some of the losses made last year.

Private home prices in one of the world’s most unaffordable housing markets fell 15 per cent in 2022, the first drop since 2008, hit by the weakening economic outlook because of the Covid 19 pandemic and rising mortgage rates.

The biggest price increase was seen in small and medium-sized units, measuring from 430 square feet to 752 sq ft, which rose 2.24 per cent, the most increase in 46 months, the data showed.

JPMorgan, in a report last week, said that it expects home prices to jump by 10 to 15 per cent in 2023. This is a reversal from its forecast in late November 2022 for a full-year price decline of 8 per cent in 2023, mostly concentrated in the first half of the year.

The bank’s optimism is driven by a combination of a slowing in the pace of interest-rate hikes, a stronger economy post-reopening and non-local buying.

“The significant pickup in high-end residential transactions is a strong vote of buying confidence in the Hong Kong housing market,” JPMorgan said in the report.

S&P Global Ratings, in its report on Tuesday, said that home prices will rebound by 5 to 8 per cent this year, citing an improving economic outlook following the removal of Covid-19 restrictions.

“However, we believe developers will price their projects conservatively in 2023 amid high inventory, a supply spike in 2024, and elevated interest rates,” S&P Global Ratings said.

Given the better-than-expected market sentiment, a property agency is adjusting its mass home price forecast to 8 per cent growth this year, an agent said. In January, the consultancy said it expected an overall 5 to 10 per cent downward adjustment.

The agent noted that there are external uncertainties looming over the market. “Continued geopolitical tensions affecting China’s export trades and, subsequently, Hong Kong’s import and export market performance, together with the weakened investor confidence in financial markets over the US bank crisis, will potentially slow down Hong Kong’s economic recovery.”

“We are also cautious about this year’s land sales programme results,” the agent said. “If there are more failed tenders or transactions at lower-than-expected bidding prices, property prices will continue to face downward pressure.”

These revised forecasts come after housing transaction volume nosedived close to 40 per cent to 47,217, the lowest since 1996.

Separately, another agency, the only listed property agency in the city, reported a net loss of HK$533.97 million (US$68.02 million) for last year, compared with a profit of HK$100.21 million a year ago, according to its exchange filing on Tuesday.

The agency said it expects to see a surge in transaction volume as well as a 10 per cent rise in home prices this year.

深圳富豪港物業淪銀主 值近40億

恒生接管紅磡祥祺中心 山頂傲璇值6.8

內地客多項貴重物業淪銀主盤。深圳祥祺集團董事長陳紅天,旗下紅磡祥祺中心全幢商廈,以及超級豪宅山頂傲璇 (OPUS) 單位,先後被接管,短期內將委託代理行出售,兩項物業市值料近40億元。

近月不少內地財團出現物業被接管情況,深圳祥祺集團陳紅天旗下物業亦如是。資料顯示,山頂傲璇5樓單位,早前由會計師樓接管。消息指,現時會計師樓已初步委託外資測量師行進行放售,物業市值約6.8億元。

2015年,陳紅天以3.87億元向太古購入該單位,單位實用面積5,154平方呎,實用呎價75,087元。傲璇全盤涉及12伙,早年開售獲不少知名人士購入。另一項被接管物業為紅磡祥祺中心全幢商廈,近日被恒生銀行接管。物業於2016年落成,據悉目前大廈出租率約8成。

陳紅天斥130 投資全球物業

2016年,陳紅天的祥祺集團向會德豐地產,以45億元購入紅磡One Harbour Gate東座作總部,易名為祥祺中心。物業由一幢寫字樓及一幢商舖組成。寫字樓樓高15層,樓面約25.4萬平方呎;商舖樓高2層,樓面約2.6萬平方呎,總樓面面積約28萬平方呎,以45億元成交價計,呎價1.6萬元。估計目前大廈市值逾30億元。

陳紅天於2015年起投資本港及海外物業,先後購入多項豪宅及商廈,合共涉逾130億元,包括2016年向莊士機構買入山頂歌賦山道15號屋地,涉約21億元,樓面地價達22.8萬元呎,一度創全港屋地呎價新高。物業地盤面積18,469平方呎,獲批建一幢6層高住宅物業,面積9,212平方呎。

旗下英國商廈 遭銀行接管

另外,他更進軍海外樓市,2017年分別以4.1億英鎊,購入位於英國倫敦金絲雀碼頭的商廈20 Canada Square大樓,並將該樓更名為「倫敦祥祺中心」。物業樓高16層,面積約75萬平方呎。另同年以2.7億英鎊,購入倫敦金絲雀碼頭的商廈5 Churchill Place。消息稱,位於英國的物業同樣被銀行接管。

近一年不少內房出現財困,持有物業被接管。如恒大地產旗下灣仔中國恆大中心全幢商廈,去年9月亦被接管,物業市值料約70億元。

廣東道全幢零售樓面 意向月租250萬

隨着兩地全面通關,更多旅客來港消費及購物,帶動不少核心消費區的人流增加,有業主看好零售前景,放租位處尖沙咀廣東道82至84號地下至3樓,意向月租共約250萬元,適合零售品牌及餐飲行業進駐。

位置優越 屢獲名牌租客青睞

有代理表示,該業主委託該代理行作租務統籌的項目位於尖沙咀廣東道82至84號地下、1至3樓,每層面積約2,000餘平方呎,合共總面積約9,400平方呎,設有獨立專屬升降機直達,樓底高約13至15呎,屬區內罕有,同時,項目地利位置優越,與海港城、新港中心中港城咫尺之遙,門前有的士站之餘,更可停泊車輛,且更提供100至250A三相電,備有後門,意向月租約250萬元。該項目曾租予OMEGA作鐘錶專門店外,亦曾租予韓國化粧品品牌作化粧美容產品中心。

代理指,自全面通關後,尖沙咀廣東道一帶的人流顯著增多,多個國際零售大型品牌門前更出現排隊入內的人龍,零售市道明顯轉好,市場亦陸續錄得國際零售品牌進駐一綫區舖位的個案,當中尖沙咀彌敦道83至97號地下39B號舖,地舖面積約450平方呎,新近以每月約11萬元獲時裝店承租。

灣仔中環2核心舖放租

另外,核心消費區舖位招租情況亦見理想,該行另一代理指,獨家代理的2個核心區巨舖,分別位於灣仔軒尼詩道388號地下G01號舖及1至2樓,面積約16,823平方呎,意向淨租金為每月約99萬元。舖位位處大單邊,加上巨型廣告燈箱位,可廣收宣傳效益,並設有獨立洗手間及內置電梯、扶手電梯,完善設備增添使用靈活度;而另一舖位位於中環皇后大道中20至20B號太平行地下20及20A號舖及地庫,意向淨租金為每月約160萬元,總樓面面積約7,179平方呎。該2個舖位招租反應亦見理想,近期先後接獲多個品牌垂詢。

該代理續稱,兩地通關後,對舖位租務市場帶來提振作用,交吉舖位驟減,將會大大改善核心區舖位空置情況,而位處核心消費區的舖位質素上乘,加上地利優勢獨特,料可吸引品牌租戶藉此搶先進駐核心區。

中環嘉軒廣場舖租11萬元

中港通關後,核心零售區舖位租賃加快,個別地區更錄租金回升個案,不過中環舖租仍在低位徘徊,區內皇后大道中9號嘉軒廣場一個地舖,僅以每月11萬元租出,呎租低見68元。

市場消息指出,嘉軒廣場地下G3號舖,建築面積1614方呎,舖位面向雪廠街,去年7月起原租戶租約期滿離場,開始以每月16萬元放租,去年底將叫租下調至13萬元,最終近期以11萬元租出,呎租約68元。據了解,新租客為一間家具店。

上址原由意大利時裝品牌Stone Island在2018年中起租用,當年月租22萬元,已較其前租戶法國時裝品牌agnès b.的月租50萬元,下跌28萬元或56%。而Stone Island在2021年曾獲減租一半,以11萬元續租多一年,最終在去年約滿離場。

低疫情前舊約50%

是次舖位在丟空約8個月後租出,租金未有因通關而受惠,與兩年前租金水平相若,而較疫情前的舊租22萬元,仍低50%。而毗連的嘉軒廣場地下G2號舖,建築面積約1350方呎,去年初由中原地產以每月15萬元租用,呎租約111元,較是次租出的舖位呎租高63.2%。

Hong Kong-listed EuroEyes to open first clinic in city on Russell Street, ditch ‘hospital-like atmosphere’ for one of world’s costliest retail strips


The group will take occupy 7,188 sq ft on the ground and third floors at 2 Russell Street in Causeway Bay

By opening on a retail street, the firm wished ‘for a form of visibility and not to create a hospital-like atmosphere’, chairman and CEO says

Germany-based and Hong Kong-listed EuroEyes International Eye Clinic is set to open its first store in the city, taking over the space occupied by Prada in one of the world’s costliest retail strips, to tap booming demand as the city’s economy recovers in the post-Covid-19 era.

The group will take over the ground and third floors at 2 Russell Street in Causeway Bay. The combined floor space spans 7,188 sq ft (667.8 square metres).

Prada’s Hong Kong flagship store occupied 15,000 sq ft across three storeys, for which the luxury brand paid HK$9 million (US$1.1 million) in monthly rent at its peak. It shut its doors after its lease expired in 2020.

“We got a good discount in contrast to Prada,” Jorn Slot Jorgensen, chairman and CEO of EuroEyes, said at a lease signing ceremony on Thursday. Early Bright Group, which is owned by billionaire Francis Choi Chee-ming, is EuroEyes’ landlord.

“It’s quite new that a clinic will go into a retail street … We are trying not to hide on the 26th floor, but we wish for a form of visibility and not to create a hospital-like atmosphere,” Jorgensen said. He declined to disclose how much the group will be forking out in monthly rent for the clinic, which includes 2,000 sq ft of space on the ground floor and 5,188 sq ft on the third floor.

“We took the chance, as we think it’s a good time right now,” Jørgensen said. “I would never have got such a location three years ago. It would not have been within our budget.”

The space on Russell Street, frequently ranked as the world’s most expensive retail street by rental values, will see the group bringing its laser eye and lens surgery services to Hongkongers and tourists from mainland China.

With tourism rebounding in Hong Kong since the start of this year, a real estate consultancy said it expected the return of tourists to boost consumption and inject new momentum into the city’s retail market, according to a report released on Thursday.

Mainland tourists have made up 80 per cent of all visitors to Hong Kong since China’s borders reopened, similar to pre-pandemic levels. “Mainland Chinese tourists’ changing spending habits will trigger stronger demand for necessities and healthcare goods like medicine, cosmetics and beauty products … Recent months have seen retailers start to re-establish their presence on high streets in core districts,” the report said.

EuroEyes listed in Hong Kong in 2019. It established its first clinic in Shanghai in 2012 and now operates in seven Chinese cities. Its China operations accounted for 16 per cent of the group’s total revenue in 2022.

Despite the pandemic, which caused the group’s sales in China to fall by more than 30 per cent last year, Jørgensen remains optimistic about the demand for eye surgery in the region, as vast proportions of the population struggle with myopia or presbyopia.

“The mood of patients has also changed,” he said. “People want to invest in themselves and invest in healthcare. We are very confident in China right now.”

Chinese tycoon Chen Hongtian has Hong Kong property that includes Peak house seized by lenders

The 9,212 sq ft property at 15 Gough Hill Road was seized this month by receivers appointed by Bank of East Asia

Opus Hong Kong apartment is taken over by receivers on behalf of Bank of Communications

Chen Hongtian, a low-profile mainland Chinese tycoon, who was the talk of the town in Hong Kong for purchasing a house on The Peak for a record price almost seven years ago, has had at least three of his assets worth a total of about HK$7 billion (US$891.7 million) at time of purchase seized by lenders.

The house, a 9,212 sq ft property at 15 Gough Hill Road, was seized this month by receivers appointed by Bank of East Asia (BEA), according to government records. Chen bought it through Lambda Industrial – a firm he owns with two others, one of whom is believed to be his wife – for a record HK$2.1 billion in 2016. It was mortgaged twice with BEA in the first half of 2019.

BEA appointed Deloitte China partners Derek Lai Kar-yan and Ivan Chan Man-hoi as receivers and managers earlier this month, according to sources. In a receivership, the receiver will act primarily in the interest of the creditor who appoints them. This often results in the company being liquidated or dissolved, and may mean that other creditors are not repaid. “We are looking for a buyer for the Gough Hill Road property,” Lai said.

Lambda Industrial was renamed Chateau 15 Investments. Other directors of the company are Chen Yao Li Ni and Vincent Chen Peng Yu. Yao Li Ni is Chen’s wife, according to Dow Jones’ risk and compliance database.

In an interview with the Post in June 2016, Chen said he bought 15 Gough Hill Road because an apartment he bought in September 2015 for HK$387 million in Opus Hong Kong in eastern Mid-Levels was “too tiny”. The fifth-floor luxury apartment has also been taken over by receivers, said Deloitte’s Lai.

Lai and Chan were appointed as receivers of the Opus Hong Kong property, which Chen bought with Yao Li Ni, by Bank of Communications in February this year. The apartment was mortgaged to the bank in August 2019. The receivers are in the process of reviewing the Opus apartment, Lai said.

Chen lost control of other assets in the city, including commercial buildings Towers A and B of Cheung Kei Center in Hung Hom. The buildings, previously called One Harbourgate, were bought by Chen through Cheung Kei Center Limited for HK$4.5 billion in December 2016. The other directors of this company are Yao Li Ni and Vincent Chen Peng Yu as well.

They were mortgaged with Hang Seng Bank in May 2019. The bank appointed Christopher So Man-chun and Victor Jong Yat-kit of PwC Hong Kong to take over the buildings this month.

Chen had a fortune of 30 billion yuan ranking him 172nd among China’s richest in Hurun Report 2022, the same ranking as Hui Ka-yan, chairman of embattled developer China Evergrande Group. He once said that investors would shift their money out of Hong Kong if “localism” continued to spread.

Chinese tycoons are a major source of demand for luxury homes in Hong Kong. Agents said the seizure of Chen’s properties did not reflect a decline in their desire for Hong Kong property.

The seizures are “isolated incidents”, a property agent said. “Many of my clients are still interested in these [distressed luxury Hong Kong] properties.”

德視佳國際眼科承租羅素街巨鋪 創始人約根森:捕捉本地客及遊客

視力矯正服務供應商德視佳國際眼科,向「玩具大王」蔡志明承租銅鑼灣羅素街 2000廣場其中一個複式巨鋪,德視佳創始人董事長兼首席執行官約根森 (Jrn Slot Jrgensen) 表示,看中該地段客戶多元化,可捕捉本地客兼內地客。

約根森表示,早於2019年10月已計畫進軍香港,惟2020年初本港爆疫,直至數月前有見政府部署通關,集團重啟計畫。

棄中環選址銅鑼灣

他續說,香港是充滿活力的市場,他們首先看過中環許多據點,最終鎖定羅素街巨鋪,人流更多,旗艦診所落戶銅鑼灣黃金地段 2000廣場,同時可捕捉本地人及內地客。

「香港人口密集,羅素街更是高端消費地段,在此設據點,有如豎立一隻大耳朵,廣泛收集及傳送訊息,達到最佳廣告效力。」他形容。

旭日國際集團地產部總經理周兆輝表示,很高興德視佳進駐充滿活力的香港,承租黃金地段巨鋪,兩地通關後,旅遊區人流大增,對前景感到樂觀。

旭日周兆輝:對前景感樂觀

約根森預期,顧客以港人主導,比例佔80%,另20%內地客,羅素街內地客聚集,消費購物外,更可以順道做眼科檢查,然後回內地旗下診所做手術。德視佳早於2012年進軍內地,首個據點在上海,目前共8個據點,分布北京,杭州 深圳,廣州及四川。

預期港人顧客佔80%

成立於1993年,總部設在德國,在丹麥、內地及英國經營眼科診所網絡,約根森補充說,月前來到香港,發現街上人流增加了,令他對整個計畫充滿信心,相比外地經歷戰爭,經濟衰退,在這里做生意令人更具信心。

涉及樓面7188方呎

德視佳承租羅素街2至4號 2000廣場其中一個地鋪,面積約2000方呎,連同樓上3樓面積約5188方呎,合共7188方呎,平均呎租139元。市場消息透露,租期為三年梗約和三年生約。

羅素街是高端消費地段,在此設據點,有如豎立一隻大耳朵,廣泛收集及傳送訊息,廣告效力最佳。

藥房奢侈品重返核心區 外資代理行:帶動鋪市升溫

有外資代理行發表最新研究報告指,自年初以來,入境旅客數字穩步上升,大部分來自內地,帶動零售市況,藥房奢侈品回歸核心區,帶動鋪市升溫。

報告指出,內地客疫情前在港旅遊消費佔零售額約30%,預計以旅客主導的零售行業得到提振,今年3月19日至25日間,旅客入境顯著增加,每日達到86600人次,相當於2019年上半年日均值的45%。當中,81%的入境旅客來自內地。

81%旅客來自內地

該行代理表示,隨着中港通關後,香港繼續成為內地客首選旅遊目的地,儘管過往數年市場出現不少利淡因素,但本地消費力卻持續,足以證明其穩定性,內地旅客回流將推動零售市場進一步增長,特別奢侈品牌、藥妝及美容等,紛重返核心區街道。該行預計,這些行業在核心區比例或從現時約15%水平,增至疫情前的25%水平。

鋪位空置率減少

該行另一代理表示,電子消費券帶動本地需求,港人及旅客外出用餐增加,為零售商提供良機,透過增設實體店把握機遇。現時,主要購物區及核心區街鋪租金較2019年中期高峰低約40%,加上空置率減少及租賃需求增加,未來12至24個月租賃成本將攀升。除了傳統核心區,零售商亦可考慮其他遊客熱點,例如西九龍、維港兩岸的海濱長廊及新興商業區。

通關後甲廈市況向好 料量增價穩

通關後整體甲廈買賣及租務氣氛稍轉好,業界預計今年甲廈買賣量勢增加,而價格則因供應多,僅平穩發展。

據一間本地代理行統計,3月份 (數字主要反映2月市況) 十大指標甲廈乏成交,惟踏入月中,甲廈買賣開始出現,料下月數字將較理想。

美國銀行中心高層 5000萬沽

近2星期指標甲廈錄得買賣,資料顯示,金鐘遠東金融中心2302室,面積約2,282平方呎,以約7,189萬元易手,呎價約3.1萬元,買家料為用家。按成交呎價計,已較高峰期同類單位下跌約4成。據悉,原業主為投資者,於2016年底以約8,717萬元購入單位,如今持貨7年沽出,蝕約1,528萬元離場,蝕幅約18%。

另外,消息指出,美國銀行中心高層03室,面積約1,303平方呎,以約5,000萬元成交,呎價高見約3.84萬元。原業主於2006年以約1,250萬元購入單位,持貨17年轉手,獲利約3,750萬元,升值約3倍。

長沙灣甲廈新盤單位 2.41億易手

除了指標商廈外,一手商廈表理亦理想,資本策略 (00497) 旗下威靈頓街92號 92 Wellington 近期開售,並錄4宗買賣,包括物業9樓全層,面積約2,941平方呎,以約6,600萬元易手,呎價約2.2萬元。另外,長沙灣全新甲廈,荔枝角道888號南商金融創新中心高層單位連車位,以2.522億元易手,涉及7樓約半層樓面連5個車位,其中寫字樓部分面積約15,263平方呎,涉資約2.41億元,呎價約1.58萬元,另外5個車位每個作價約220萬元。據悉,新買家為「毛紡大王」曹光彪家族成員,該家族去年以約8.5億元,沽出同區持有多年的永新工業大廈全幢。

有代理表示,自從通關後,商務活動增加,用家及投資者睇樓活動同步上升,現階段即使成交未出現大增,整體氣氛已明顯轉好。該代理指,近日已錄指標甲廈成交,呎價方面,已較高峰期回落。後市上,該代理相信隨着商務復常,今年甲廈買賣成交量肯定較去年理想,而造價方面,該代理則指由於目前空置率仍較高,加上個別地區新供應多,甲廈呎價料不會大幅反彈,相比之下,由於核心區空置樓面始終較少,造價料較理想。

牛頭角警署地研商用 估值約36億

測量師:樓面料逾120萬呎 應有序推地

政府增東九龍商業樓面供應,近年遷出的牛頭角警署將會研究作商業用途,估計有潛力提供逾120萬平方呎商業樓面,不過近期商業地價低迷,地價估值約36億元。有測量師認為,應慢慢有秩序增供應,毋須過急。

前牛頭角警署及前東九龍行動基地等警務設施,位於九龍灣兆業街,比鄰德福花園、恒生中心及港鐵總部,政府在2020年已經陸續將警署等搬遷至位於啟德協調道105號的新警署。

據悉,當局一直有意研究警署在騰出之後的土地用途,其中一個方向則是研究作商業。若果以前牛頭角警署連同周邊的東九龍行動大樓及靶場計算,整個地盤佔地將會逾10萬平方呎,現時為「政府、機構或社區」規劃用途。按照現時九龍灣一帶商業用途,普遍地積比率達12倍計算,將可提供逾120萬平方呎商業樓面,具體方案則相信有待當局最終研究結果為準。

近九龍灣站 可打造甲廈

由於兆業街項目位置鄰近九龍灣港鐵站,而且地盤面積較大,亦較有潛力打造成甲級商廈。不過,有測量師認為,現時商廈樓面供應較多、價低迷,即使是早前旺角洗衣街商業地每呎地價亦只是3,000多元,認為上述地皮的地價亦最多只有約3,000元,地皮估值約36億元。

同時,該測量師認為,在現時市況下商住用途或較為合適,地積比率較低,但會較受市場歡迎。而若果維持作商業方向,則認為毋須太急推出,應慢慢有秩序推出。
