Sluggish Hong Kong office-rental market shows signs of bottoming out as enquiries pick up, analysts foresee rising rents

Rents are expected to edge up by the end of the year, according to market players

The office vacancy rate stood at 14.4 per cent last year, the highest since 1998

Hong Kong’s depressed office-rental market is showing signs of bottoming out, with agents fielding more leasing enquiries and rents expected to edge up by the end of the year, according to market players.

The reopening of the border with mainland China has resulted in a significant increase in enquiries, according to Hongkong Land, Central’s biggest landlord.

“Leasing has been quite active recently,” an agent said. “Landlords have greater confidence and are panicking less.”

At the beginning of the year, the market was still difficult “since we needed to recoup previous losses in the last three years of the pandemic”, the agent added. “Market sentiment should improve at year’s end.”

In the last three years, overall office rents have sunk 22 per cent, she said, adding that the decline has slowed this year, with rents dipping 0.8 per cent overall as of late March. Rents may edge up about 3 per cent this year, the agent added.

Hong Kong’s overall office vacancy rate stood at 14.4 per cent last year, the highest since 1998, according to the Hong Kong Property Review 2023 published by the Rating and Valuation Department on Friday. In Kowloon East, vacancy rate amounts to as much as 20 per cent, though rents edged up in the fourth quarter, the agent said.

For 2022 as a whole, real gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 3.5 per cent. Looking ahead, the Hong Kong economy is expected to stage a rebound in 2023, with real GDP forecast to grow by 3.5 to 5.5 per cent, according to the government.

Another agency echoed the agent’s view, finding in a report that the Hong Kong office market saw stronger activity in February as market sentiment improved in tandem with the revival of economic activity, though rents still dipped.

Companies from multiple sectors took advantage of the favourable market for tenants in February to consolidate and upgrade their office space. For example, Canadian pension fund CPPIB leased two floors in Henderson Land’s new and as yet incomplete 36-floor The Henderson, in a consolidation from York House, another agency said.

An unnamed beverage company is also relocating from Exchange Tower in Kowloon Bay to The Henderson, and luxury brand Hermes is relocating its office with an upgrade and consolidation from Chinachem Leighton Plaza to Lee Garden One, the agency added.

Increasing demand for small and medium-sized space continues to favour the co-working sector, fuelling expansion, the consultancy said.

“If you go back over the last three years, we had certain months that were pretty grim,” said Neil Anderson, director and head of office, commercial property at Hongkong Land, which has 4.9 million sq ft of commercial real estate in Central. “It’s fair to say we’re talking single digits. I think there was one month where we had eight introductions in terms of the demand for office space – pretty lacklustre.”

Leasing enquiries then rose to 21 in January, 39 in February and 46 as of March 28, he said last week at an event hosted by the landlord.

“Forty-six is very high,” Anderson said. “We’re not going to be doing deals with every single inquiry – that’s just the nature of the business. But in terms of the level of demand, and how busy we are as a business, that does kind of tell you that things are looking a lot more optimistic and healthy. Transaction volumes will come later.”

Companies from mainland China are also on the market for deals, according to an analyst. Companies including Huawei Technologies and Huatai Financial have leased office space in Central, another agent said.

Chinachem, MTR sell 70 per cent of flats at In One project amid improving sentiment

The project’s geographical advantage and location above a MTR station are attractive to many investors, an agent says

Sales this weekend have attracted quite a good response so far: another agent said

Chinachem Properties and the MTR Corp sold 151 – about 70 per cent – of the 210 flats on offer at their latest project, In One, on Sunday, as easing interest rate rises boost sentiment among homebuyers and investors.

The units at In One, phase 1C of the Ho Man Tin station property development, consist of two and three-bedroom units ranging between 423 to 934 sq ft in size. After discounts, they are priced between HK$12.18 million (US$1.64 million) and HK$29.77 million, with a discounted average price per square foot of HK$29,348.

“The project’s geographical advantage and location above a MTR station are also attractive to many investors, who made up 40 per cent of our clients,” an agent said. Young people aged below 40 years accounted for 70 per cent of all buyers.

The average price after discount was higher than the HK$27,083 per square foot offered in previous rounds, but Chinachem said the current round included apartments on higher floors and should not be compared directly. Homebuyers bought all 179 units of phase 1B last Monday.

Three customers bought two flats at In One, with one spending about HK$38 million on a three-bedroom unit and a two-bedroom unit, an agent said.

Homebuyers also snapped up 75 per cent of flats at Wheelock Properties’ Koko Mare in Lam Tin within three hours on Saturday.

“Sales this weekend have attracted quite a good response so far, selling 70 to 80 per cent on first days of sales,” another agent said. “Market activity is still strong in the first-hand market.”

When compared with the previous week, however, the number of first-hand transactions dropped from more than 600 units to around 360 units this weekend, the agent said. “It seems that first-hand demand dried up a bit after the market took up over 2,000 first-hand transactions in March,” the agent said.

Sales of brand new homes might slow down further during the long Easter holiday, with many local buyers travelling, the agent said.

Other recent launches, including Star Properties’ After The Rain project in Yuen Long, Henderson Land’s One Innovale in Fanling and Sun Hung Kai Properties’ Novo Land in Tuen Mun, have also attracted strong interest.

Property demand has surged in Hong Kong amid hopes that the city has reached a peak in terms 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 market observers.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority last month 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. However, Hong Kong’s major lenders, including HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong), kept their best lending rates unchanged between 5.625 per cent and 5.875 per cent.

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, according to Land Registry data. The transactions were 25 per cent higher compared with the same period a year ago.

The reopening of the border between Hong Kong and mainland China is also boosting confidence among investors, who are snapping up property, as an economic recovery in Hong Kong is also likely to bolster demand for homes in the city.

An agent said the easing banking crisis in US and Europe has also boosted buyer sentiment, as well as a rebound in Hong Kong stocks. These circumstances have led to a boost among middle-class buyers, who are more confident about entering the market.

“Brand-new homes are still very attractive and it is believed that the hot sales seen in March can be maintained,” the agent said.

255 homes snapped up as weekend sales boom

At least 255 flats were sold from two new projects - In One and Koko Mare - over the weekend while transactions in the secondary market also rebounded.

In One atop the Ho Man Tin MTR station sold 152 units as of 6.30pm yesterday at a discounted average price of HK$28,036 per square foot.

The project is co-developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066), and a total of 210 flats were put for sale on the price lists yesterday, including 142 two-bedroom and 68 three-bedroom units. The cheapest unit was priced at HK$12.2 million.

Chinachem said that within the first half hour of sales, customers had already picked 50 flats, with the majority of them buying the units for self-occupancy.

During the period, there were five instances where groups of buyers purchased two units each. Of these, three groups opted to buy one 2-bedroom and one 3-bedroom unit each.

The highest transaction amount recorded among these purchases was approximately HK$40 million.

Meanwhile, Wheelock Properties kicked off sales for the first batch of flats at Koko Mare in Lam Tin on Saturday and sold 103 homes within three hours, raking in about HK$860 million from the sales.

The initial batch of apartments included 138 flats which were sold at a discounted average price of HK$18,386 per sq ft.

In Tuen Mun, Emperor International's (0163) Seaside Castle recorded the first deal of the year yesterday when House No 2 at the development sold for more than HK$126 million or HK$30,000 per sq ft.

The house, with a sea view, spans an area of 4,213 sq ft and features four bedrooms as well as a garden measuring 457 sq ft, a rooftop of 884 sq ft, and two private car parking spaces.

The property also includes a lift that provides access to all levels of the house.

In other new home sales, Henderson Land's (0012) One Innovale in Fanling sold four apartments yesterday, cashing in about HK$18.8 million.

A property agency said there will likely be more new projects launching sales this month.

To maintain the high level of sales seen in March for primary properties, developers are expected to continue offering attractive prices.

This is likely to result in the number of transactions reaching 2,500 in April, marking a 29-month high, it said.

Besides, the agency noted that the improved market sentiment boosted sales of second-hand homes as the number of transactions in 10 major housing estates over the weekend rose 67 percent week-on-week to 10.

財團8280萬收購擺花街地鋪 高市價約50% 每呎8.28萬

財團於2020年前就擺花街一幢申請強拍,未獲批准,最新購入該舊樓的一個地鋪連閣樓,將令收購計畫取得突破,該地鋪作價8280萬,較市價高出約50%,平均每呎8.28萬。

上址為中環擺花街11號地鋪連入則閣,建築面積各為約1000方呎,以8280萬易手,平均呎價8.28萬,鋪位闊19呎,深41呎,租客The Candel Company。原業主2001年8月以700萬買入鋪位,持貨逾21年,帳面獲利7580萬,物業升值逾10倍。

持貨21年升值逾10

盛滙商舖基金創辦人李根興評論道,上述地鋪市值約5000至6000萬,月租約11至12萬,料回報約2.5厘,因此,收購價高市價50%,不過,較5年前的收購價大跌,毗鄰的9、13、15及17號地鋪連閣樓,面積相若,早於2018年被收購,作價分別為1.48億、1.336億、1.35億及1.48億,最新鋪位收購價較5年前低逾40%。

上述擺花街9至19號舊樓,市傳由新世界相關的財團收購,早於2018年之前涉足該項目,並於2020年5月,就11至17號涉及4個地段的2幢舊樓,合併申請強拍,當時,11號地下及閣樓業主 (即上述成交鋪位的業主),對申請提出質疑,反對強拍。

收購價較5年前低40%

去年11月,審裁官作出裁決,由於擺花街11至13號舊樓,與15至17號並無連接樓梯,不應以同一個申請處理,而申請者已擁有15至17號全數業權,並不合強拍條例,因此,申請人只可就餘下的11至13號舊樓,繼續申請強拍程序。業內人士指,經歷數年來鋪市大跌,最終鋪主有見收購價高於市價50%,才首肯被收購。

財團五年前收購擺花街舊樓,地鋪收購價由逾1.3至1.48億,其中一個拒絕收購,隨着鋪市大跌,最新僅以8280萬獲收購。

Tycoon Chen Hongtian blames ‘short-term cash-flow disruption’ for seizure of Hong Kong properties including Peak house

His company, Cheung Kei Group, cites defaults on ‘several big-ticket accounts receivable’ and ‘abnormal obstacles’ for loss of control over assets

Chen Hongtian’s three core properties in Hong Kong are worth about HK$9.8 billion (US$1.25 billion), company says

Chinese tycoon Chen Hongtian’s company has blamed a “short-term cash-flow disruption” after three of his properties in Hong Kong, including a house on The Peak that he bought for HK$2.1 billion (US$268 million) in 2016, were taken over by creditors.

“I hope that the public will further understand the correct information,” Chen told the Post on Friday, breaking his silence over the seizure of three of his assets in the city.

“Chen Hongtian’s three core properties in Hong Kong are worth about HK$9.8 billion, according to recent appraisal reports commissioned by banks,” Cheung Kei Group said in a statement on Friday, published in the official WeChat account of Shenzhen-based Harmony Club, which is chaired by Chen.

“Although the value of some properties has dropped sharply compared to before the pandemic, it should be slightly higher than the HK$5 billion in loans, and the debt ratio is less than 60 per cent.”

The statement came after Chen’s 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.

In February this year, Bank of Communications appointed receivers for his Opus Hong Kong property, which he bought with Chen Yao Li Ni.

Chen lost control of other assets in the city, including commercial buildings Towers A and B of Cheung Kei Center in Hung Hom. They were mortgaged with Hang Seng Bank in May 2019. The bank appointed receivers to take over the buildings this month.

“In the past two months, several big-ticket accounts receivable were defaulted off-the-cuff by the other party,” the statement said. “At the same time, the buyer of a big transaction suddenly defaulted a few days before the completion of the transaction, resulting in a related breach of contract.”

In addition, many “normal business processes” in mainland China have encountered “abnormal obstacles”, the company added. “A series of events caused a short-term cash flow disruption. These problems are likely to be properly resolved in a short period of time.”

The company went on to plead for “understanding and support” from “relevant financial institutions and media” to “support enterprises to tide over difficulty” when “the government hopes to revive economic development”.

Harmony Club is a group of about 150 tycoons, mostly based in Shenzhen, who directly or indirectly control more than 70 listed companies and around 3,000 corporate entities.

The club’s executives include Pony Ma Huateng of technology company Tencent, Wang Chuanfu of electric vehicle company BYD and Wang Wei of SF Express, a delivery services and logistics company.

Meanwhile, agents for a mansion on The Peak linked to Hui Ka-yan, Evergrande’s founder and chairman, failed to find an acceptable bid during the planned timeline of the second half of March.

“The [bids] received for the Black’s Link project have not met the requirements, and we will continue to contact potential buyers for the sale of the mansion,” an agency said, one of the two agencies involved.

Mansion 10B at Black’s Link could be valued at over HK$800 million, given that 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 in early March.

Hong Kong property: Wheelock sells 75 per cent of flats in first batch of Koko Mare project in Lam Tin

Homebuyers snapped up 103 of 138 flats at Wheelock Properties’ Koko Mare in Lam Tin within three hours on Saturday

Property demand has surged in Hong Kong amid hopes that the city has reached the peak of interest rate increases

Wheelock Properties sold 103, or 75 per cent, of the 138 flats on offer in its latest Lam Tin Project within three hours after sales began on Saturday, as the reopening of Hong Kong’s border with mainland China and other positive developments boost homebuyers’ sentiments.

The units at Koko Mare, phase 3B of the Koko Hills development, consist of one to two-bedroom units ranged between 300 to 400 sq ft. After discounts, they were priced between HK$5,937,000 (US$756,000) to HK$9,931,000, with an average price of HK$17,000 to HK$23,039 per sq ft.

“The sales were strong,” an agent said. “The project received positive responses from homebuyers, especially young people aged below 40, who accounted for 70 per cent of all buyers.”

The enthusiastic response to Koko Hills matches last month’s robust sales of the 160 flats offered in the second batch of its sibling project, Koko Rosso. Buyers snapped up nearly all units within a day.

Other recent launches, including Star Properties’ After The Rain project in Yuen Long, Henderson Land’s One Innovale in Fanling, and Sun Hung Kai Properties’ Novo Land in Tuen Mun, also attracted strong interests.

“The new launches have received good market responses, and home prices in the first quarter have risen 5 to 6 per cent from the fourth quarter last year,” said Ricky Wong, managing director at Wheelock. “I expect that rising trend to extend into this month.”

Most of the units sold today were priced at HK$6 million to HK$9 million, allowing first-home buyers to benefit from the government’s recent move to cut ad valorem stamp duty, Wong added.

Property demand has surged amid expectations that Hong Kong has reached the peak of interest rate increases.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority last week lifted the city’s base rate to a 15-year high of 5.25 per cent, following the US Federal Reserve increased its target rate by a quarter point to a range of 4.75 per cent to 5 per cent.

But Hong Kong’s major lenders, including HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong), kept their best lending rates unchanged at 5.625 per cent, while Standard Chartered kept its prime rates unchanged at 5.875 per cent.

The city may see a 50 per cent jump in home transactions this year, which will be especially encouraging to younger buyers, according to analysts.

“The interest rate is likely to have hit the peak level, which may attract first-time homebuyers and investors to buy properties,” an agent said.

In March, Hong Kong recorded 8,202 home transactions, the highest level in 20 months and up 37.2 per cent compared with February, according to data compiled by a property agency. It was also the third consecutive month that the city saw an increase in home transactions.

“As more projects will be launched in April, we expect Hong Kong to see more than 2,500 new homes sold this month,” the agent said.

An online survey conducted between March 1 to March 7 by 28Hse.com, a Hong Kong-based property information provider, showed that above half of the 3,528 interviewees expected Hong Kong’s home prices to rise in the coming 12 months, while 20 per cent of respondents estimated that prices would drop 10 per cent.

About 37 per cent of the respondents said they were currently very interested in buying a new home, while 22 per cent said they had no such plans.

寫字樓空置率14.4%24年來新高

去年受第5波疫情打擊,加上近年寫字樓供應量大增,令到空置量急升。根據差估署最新公布的《香港物業報告2023》初步統計數字,去年本港整體寫字樓空置率14.4%,較2021年的12.3%增加2.1個百分點,空置率屬1998年錄得15.9%之後24年來新高。

甲廈使用量由負轉正

有代理表示,商廈由土地規劃、賣地至落成,歷時長達10年,2012年經濟暢旺,政府規劃更多商廈地皮,及至大約5年後、2017推出賣地,當年,新世界一舉連奪長沙灣3幅商貿地,近年陸續落成。

雖然商廈空置率增加,不過,去年整體使用量錄增長,由2021年的負43萬方呎,升至淨吸納量20.5萬方呎,甲廈使用量亦同時由負轉正。

差估署數字預期,今年寫字樓整體落成量將下降至約287萬方呎,當中甲級佔270萬方呎,2024年寫字樓整體落成量將進一步降至114萬方呎,甲級佔約93.6萬方呎。

Developer rolls out Easter promotions


Developers are gearing up for sales over the Easter holidays and rolling out promotions to tempt buyers.

The Grand Victoria series in Cheung Sha Wan will be offering promotions over the Easter break that include coupons for furniture, home appliances, travel and dining for buyers of three-bedroom and four-bedroom units.

Co-developed by Sino Land (0083), Wheelock Properties, K Wah International (0173) and SEA Group (0251), the project has sold 119 flats for HK$2.6 billion, with eight units fetching over HK$50 million each, since its launch at the start of the year.

In Ho Man Tin, In One's Phase 1C sold four homes yesterday, cashing in more than HK$76 million at a discounted price of HK$28,369 to HK$33,522 per square foot. Jointly developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066), In One is being built atop Ho Man Tin MTR station.

Meanwhile, the Urban Renewal Authority has made acquisition offers of HK$16,022 per sq ft to property owners affected by the Kim Shin Lane/ Fuk Wa Street Development Project in Sham Shui Po. The offer is based on the current price of a seven-year-old building.

In other news, New World Development (0017) has signed a memorandum of understanding with a unit of China Vanke (2202) to jointly develop property technology, marking the first cooperation of its kind between the mainland and Hong Kong developer in the Greater Bay Area.

And latest figures from the Estate Agents Authority show the number of licensed real estate agents in the city rose by 36 month-on-month to 41,074 while the number of branches of property agencies rose by 37 to 7,092.

Hong Kong property deals likely to dip in April as used home sales lose ground, a property agency said

The number of deals is likely to dip slightly after a three-month rally pushed transactions to a 20-month high in March

The second-hand market will see its market share fall as buyers are drawn to new projects priced competitively by developers, a property agency said

The number of property deals in Hong Kong is likely to dip slightly this month after a three-month rally pushed transactions to a 20-month high in March, according to one of the city’s major agencies.

The number of properties changing hands, including residential, commercial and industrial units as well as parking spaces, came in at 8,612 in March, up 44 per cent month-on-month, according to data from the agency.

“In April, the overall number of property transactions is expected to fall within 5 per cent because of a slowdown of the second-hand market, to about 8,250,” an agent said.

The transaction volume in the second quarter is expected to remain at a high level, Chan said, as developers launch new projects at a clip.

The second-hand market, however, will see its market share fall as buyers are drawn to new projects priced competitively by developers eager to stimulate demand after a difficult period.

The corresponding transaction value in March jumped 57 per cent to a seven-month high of HK$69.19 billion (US$8.81 billion), according to the agency.

Hong Kong’s pre-owned home prices rose 2.22 per cent in February, the most in almost three year, as demand recovered on expectations of slower interest rate increases 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.

The biggest rebound was for new homes, which saw sales almost triple from 619 in February to 1,736 in March, a 16-month high, according to the agency.

In the three months to March, the overall number of transactions surged 62.1 per cent to 18,997, the highest in three quarters, according to another property agency.

Thanks to the higher transaction volume, the number of mortgages for completed homes climbed by almost a third to a seven-month high of 7,525, according to a mortgage brokerage service provider.

Because of the market downturn last year and the longer time required for new home sales to reach completion, the number of mortgages for homes still under construction fell significantly in the first quarter, according to another mortgage broker. The broker, however, expects the number of mortgages to surge in the second quarter after stamp duties for local first-time buyers were relaxed in February.

While the border reopening after Covid-19 boosted the economy and the housing market, it did not, as expected, bolster demand from people from outside Hong Kong, according to a report on Monday by property services provider Pruden Group.

Pruden attributed this to the extra stamp duties as well as tighter mortgage requirements for non-local buyers and a smaller difference in the mortgage rates between Hong Kong and mainland China.

核心區舖位租務加快 商戶多元化

核心區舖位租務加快,近日主要租務成交中,除了傳統奢侈品外,亦有其他商戶擴充,漸見多元化。

通關後核心區舖位租務明顯加快,而近期更出現租戶種類多元化,如傳統核心區一綫街舖,出現醫療商戶。在德國、丹麥、中國內地及英國經營眼科矯正診所的德視佳 (01846) 宣布,租用銅鑼灣羅素街2000廣場地舖及3樓,作香港首間旗艦店。

資料顯示,矯視診所承租地下及3樓,全店總樓面面積約7,188平方呎,包括地下約2,000平方呎及3樓約5,188平方呎。

德視佳租2000廣場作旗艦店

德視佳創始人董事長兼首席執行官約根森 (Jorn Slot Jorgensen) 表示,早在2019年10月已經計劃在香港開設分店,但因疫情而被迫擱置計劃,直至今年香港全面復常,加上與內地通關,經濟開始復甦,故重啟計劃,在港設立分店,預計新店將於今年下半年開業。

翻查資料,該舖上手租客為奢侈品牌店Prada,租金高峰期月租高達900萬元 (地下至3樓),疫情初期品牌提早遷出,及後業主把舖位分拆招租,其中一層由餐飲承租。據了解,是次醫療中心每月約80萬至100萬元,較原先租金有明顯跌幅。

另外,中環皇后大道中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。

重現商機 核心區舖空置減

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;

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%。

分析指,自中港通關後,旅客重返香港,令不少行業有商機。除了傳統零售、餐飲後,旅客對其他商品、服務業同樣有需求,例如醫療、藝術品等,令傳統零售商以外,不同行業亦趁機租舖,故近期核心區新租戶種類多元化,亦降低整體舖位空置率。

中環 LL Tower 近蘭桂坊 消閒配套齊

中環為香港核心商業區,經濟重心之一,商廈林立,商業氣息濃厚。位於中環中心地帶些利街的 LL Tower,裝修新穎雅致,設計別緻而現代,鄰近食店,配套齊全,吸引不少商戶進駐。

LL Tower 於2018年始落成,樓齡只有5年,整幢大廈以黑色為主導,感覺奢華貴氣,大堂設有2部載客電梯,方便疏通人流。物業為一座分散業權的商業大廈,設有可供租售寫字樓,大部分為半零售用途。

樓高25層,包括16層辦公樓層 (6至23樓) 以及5層零售 (G至3樓),每層標準面積約2,327至2,351平方呎,大部分樓層由本地零售商租用。主要租戶包括零售、餐飲等等。

鄰近半山扶手電梯

LL Tower 鄰近著名半山扶手電梯,起點為皇后大道中,全長200公尺,是世界最長的戶外有蓋電梯,專為半山區居民而設,方便其來往中環商業區。此外,由王家衛導演的《重慶森林》亦曾在該地取景,王菲及梁朝偉曾在此地甜蜜互動,故亦吸引不少人慕名前來打卡。

LL Tower 交通方面,步行到港鐵中環及香港站約需9至15分鐘,附近亦設有巴士及小巴站,尚算便利。

飲食配套方面,物業內設有餐廳及酒吧,亦鄰近著名蘭桂坊,放工可相約同事朋友飲酒談心。附近亦設有不少食肆,提供不同國家的美食,滿足不同人士的口味。

LL Tower 今年暫未錄得成交,去年錄得兩宗成交,皆為高層全層單位,實用面積均是2,327平方呎,分別以5,119萬元及5,468萬元成交,呎價分別為22,000元及23,500元。

Developers keep rolling out flats at a rapid pace


Wheelock Properties has released the third batch of 48 homes at Koko Mare in Lam Tin with an average discounted price of HK$19,284 per square foot, 1.7 percent higher than the last one.

Half of the units in the batch are with one bedroom while the other half come with two bedrooms. With sizes ranging from 310 sq ft to 500 sq ft, they are priced between HK$5.88 million and HK$9.7 million after discounts, or between HK$17,708 and HK$20,645 per sq ft.

The developer said the arrangement for the second round of sales will be announced soon.

Managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu said Miami Quay I, Wheelock's project with Henderson Land Development (0012), New World Development (0017), and Empire Group in Kai Tak, has sold 49 homes for over HK$480 million and a new price list may be unveiled after Easter.

In Tai Kok Tsui, Chevalier International (0025) will put five more homes at Sablier on the market next Monday, all of which are below HK$6 million.

In Ngau Tau Kok, eight flats at The Aperture will be put up for tender on Saturday, the developer Hang Lung Properties (0101) said. All of them come with three bedrooms and an area of 771 sq ft.

In Pak Shek Kok, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it may release the sales brochure for University Hill next week at the earliest and the first price list is expected to be unveiled at the end of this month.

The project provides 607 homes from 250 sq ft to 650 sq ft with studio to two-bedroom units accounting for 80 percent of the total.

On the luxury front, a 7,042-sq-ft house at Mount Nicholson on the Peak will be open for tender next Thursday.

It has a 2,715-sq-ft garden, a 1,970-sq-ft yard, and a parking space of 2,088 sq ft.

The project was co-developed by Nan Fung Group and The Wharf (0004), with Wheelock Properties responsible for sales.

Separately, the Lands Department has trimmed the compensation rates for resumed land in the New Territories amid falling property prices.

The compensation for agricultural land resumed for development uses has been cut by 13 percent to HK$1,267 per sq ft from last October, and that for building land to valuation plus HK$2,514 per sq ft.

Luxury villa at Hong Kong’s The Peak up for tender, could fetch as much as US$122.5 million

The 7,042 sq ft property at 8 Mount Nicholson Road has been developed by Wharf Holdings and Nan Fung Group

Luxury residential market expected to keep up momentum and post even stronger growth in the second quarter, Colliers executive says

A 7,042 sq ft villa at The Peak, Hong Kong’s most exclusive address, is up for tender on April 13, according to Wheelock Properties.

The property in the ultra-exclusive enclave of Mount Nicholson at 8 Mount Nicholson Road has been developed by Wharf Holdings and Nan Fung Group. Wheelock is the sole agent for the sale.

The attempt to sell the four-bedroom unit – expected to fetch as much as HK$961.5 million (US$122.5 million) – comes at a time of marginal improvement in Hong Kong’s luxury property segment on the back of a full reopening of the city’s and mainland China’s borders, the end of strict Covid-19 restrictions and the stabilisation of interest rates.

“The range of the price for the house could be anywhere between HK$86,340 and HK$136,544 per square foot, based on sales last year,” a surveyor said.

Hong Kong’s residential market is seeing a marked improvement, with the number of transactions rising 40.3 per cent month on month to 4,282 in February, according to a property agency, which cited official data. Primary sales supported overall market sentiment, surging 80.4 per cent month on month to 655 deals. The overall home price index also rose by 0.6 per cent in January, according to official data.

The demand for property has surged in Hong Kong amid hopes that the city has reached a peak in terms of interest rate increases.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority in March 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.

The pause in lending rates by the city’s three currency-issuing banks has boosted hopes that homebuying activity will continue to increase in the coming months, as mortgage rates are likely to stabilise. Sales of new and lived-in homes could hit 66,000 units this year, up nearly 50 per cent from 2022, according to market observers.

“Since the full border reopening earlier this year, the Hong Kong luxury residential market has seen signs of recovery across both transactions and leasing,” a property agent said. “Driven by mainland buyers, transactions in the primary market have gained momentum, with transaction prices holding up strongly.

“For example, a few new projects in Kowloon have recorded transaction prices of over HK$50,000 per square foot. The ultra high-end market has also seen improved sentiment, with multiple single-lot houses reaching final stages of negotiations. We expect the luxury residential market to keep up the momentum and post even stronger growth in the second quarter.”

The surveyor on the other hand, pointed to some “sluggishness” in the luxury property market.

Earlier this year, a four-bedroom luxury home in Mount Nicholson resold at an estimated loss of about HK$130 million. The home, in one of the most expensive luxury developments in Hong Kong, set a record for Asia when it sold for HK$519.9 million in 2019. It sold on January 27 to a buyer named “Yu Ye” for HK$390 million, about 25 per cent below the price “Li Jun” paid for it, according to official records.

工商鋪錄451宗註冊 代理行:創9個月新高

有代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示,3月份工商鋪註冊量,為自2022年6月來最多,共錄451宗,按月急升約68.3%,金額錄58.33億,按月升約78.7%。

目前工商鋪價格低位徘徊,投資者信心恢復,相信「撈底」增加,各板塊上升,商廈表現最好,註冊量按月飆升1.5倍至110宗,工廈亦不俗,最新錄240宗註冊,大升約84.6%。商鋪表現平穩,3月錄101宗登記,按月升約7.4%。

逾億註冊維持平穩

若按金額劃分,3月份註冊量升幅最多的為價值逾500萬以上至1000萬物業,按月激增約1.1倍至101宗,其次為逾1000萬至2000萬及逾5000萬元以上至1億物業,按月分別急升約86.5%及62.5%,至69宗和13宗登記。逾億買賣維持有4宗,商廈及鋪位各2宗,包括有長沙灣南商金融創新中心27樓9個單位,以及旺角砵蘭街450至454號HQ全幢,作價分別為2.41億及3.5億,商鋪則包括有旺角商業大廈地下至4樓多個鋪位及屯門城點基座商場,金額分別3.5億及4.4億。

中細價物業主導市場

該行代理表示,由於美國通脹回落幅度緩慢,相信高息環境持續,大手物業保持淡靜,對於資金充裕的投資者而言,仍有能力買入中低價物業。 疫市下,工商鋪價格大幅回落,目前仍低位徘徊,隨着中港通關和香港復常,投資者趁勢「撈底」。

官地價跌吸引 財團減慢舊樓收購

強拍申請首季僅2宗 按季少5成

雖然2023年社會已復常,但今年首季僅錄2宗強拍申請,按年大幅減半,某程度反映發展商有見地價下跌而減慢舊樓收購步伐。同時,自去年第三季起,有4宗強拍申請於12個月內迅速獲批,獲批速度有加快的趨勢。測量師認為,這反映政府加房屋供應的決心。

土地審裁處於本年首季度合共接獲2宗強拍申請,分別於1月及2月份所錄得。以區域劃分,全數申請均位於港島區,而且屬小型項目,兩者地盤面積介乎4,000至近5,000平方呎,現況市值逾2億元。

若與去年同期相比,強拍申請按年減少2宗,即50%。而去年首季度的申請大部分位於鴨脷洲,並全於2月、即第5波疫情肆虐期間所錄得。

業界料今年申請 較去年22宗少

有測量師認為,由於近期地價下跌,發展商從而較傾向購買政府地,而且樓價有反彈迹象,小業主未必容易接受收購價,故首季強拍申請減少,並料今年全年的申請宗數會較去年22宗更少。

除了申請宗數按年大減外,翻查2022年統計數字,由強拍申請日至成功獲批強拍計,普遍需時約1至4年,惟由去年8月起至今,共有4宗強拍申請可在1年內 (約7至10個月) 獲批強拍,當中萬科香港收購的牛頭角定富街71至79號項目需時最短,需時僅約7個月。至於今年首季獲批的數宗強拍申請中,樂風等收購的鴨脷洲好景街26、28號及平瀾街2號舊樓,則需時約9個月,可見近期排期聆訊時間有縮短的趨勢。

該測量師又認為,這反映土地審裁處的效率增加,以配合政府提速、提效、提量的房屋政策,加快本港房屋供應量。

Snow Lake Capital hedge fund quits HK after 12 years

China-focused hedge-fund firm Snow Lake Capital Ltd. has left Hong Kong after 12 years of operating in the city, people familiar with the matter said. 

The company shuttered its office in Hong Kong last month, the people said, requesting not to be named because the matter is private. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Sean Ma has relocated to Menlo Park, California for personal reasons. Its chief operating and financial officer is also based in the US city, said one of the people. All members of its Hong Kong-based research team moved to Beijing last month, the person added. 

While it’s rare for hedge fund firms to completely shut operations in Hong Kong, more have been diversifying away from the city in recent years. Pandemic-era restrictions and Beijing’s tightening grip over the former British colony are prompting companies to look at options in the US or Singapore. 

Hong Kong has been trying to bolster its appeal as a financial hub. It said last month that the city would offer tax concessions for family offices.  

Snow Lake’s Hong Kong office is marked as having “ceased business of regulated activities,” according to the Securities and Futures Commission website.  

A representative of Snow Lake declined to comment. Snow Lake operated out of New York and Beijing for its first two years. It established a foothold in Hong Kong in early 2011 when it shut the New York office. 

A former analyst at Ziff Brothers Investments LLC, Ma set up Snow Lake in 2009 with backing from Zhang Lei, the founder of Hillhouse Capital. The company focuses on long-term stock holdings in technology, consumer, health care, clean energy, real estate and financial industries — most of which are Chinese — according to a US regulatory filing in January. 

In 2020, Snow Lake shot to international fame when it emerged as the author of a report released by Muddy Waters that exposed sales inflation at China’s Luckin Coffee Inc., Bloomberg reported at the time, citing people familiar.  

In the first 11 years of the firm, Ma steered his Greater China-focused stock hedge fund to gains in all but one year. He added an Asia fund in 2018. The same year, Snow Lake funds were a cornerstone investor in the initial public offering of China Renaissance Holdings Ltd., the Chinese investment bank whose Chairman Bao Fan is now cooperating with authorities in an unspecified investigation. It’s unclear if Snow Lake still holds a stake.  

It’s also suffered setbacks. Its activist stake in MGM China Holdings Ltd. backfired, hurt by the Covid pandemic and increased government oversight of casinos. The firm’s investments in Chinese education stocks were also dented in 2021 by Beijing’s crackdown on the sector. It had to shutter the Asia fund after two of its managers quit. 

The firm disclosed nearly US$563 million of discretionary assets under management at the end of October in the January US regulatory filing. That compared with about US$2 billion it oversaw between hedge and long-only funds as late as 2021. Hillhouse’s Zhang no longer owns a stake in Snow Lake.

跨國公司擴充 租觀塘 The Millennity 全層

同區宏利金融中心 網購公司租3萬呎升級

東九龍租務稍增,亦見跨國機構進行擴充。消息稱,觀塘新甲廈 The Millennity 全層,獲跨國金融科技公司租用,呎租約28元,屬擴充及升級個案。另觀塘宏利金融中心全層3萬呎,獲網購公司租用作升級。

通關後整體商廈租務改善。消息指,觀塘巧明街大型綜合商業項目「The Millennity」落成,租務亦加快,項目2座28樓全層,面積約1.26萬平方呎,以每平方呎約28元租出。據了解,新租客為金融科技公司Doo Group。該集團於2014年成立,總部設於新加坡,是一家以金融科技為核心的金融服務集團,提供證券、基金等金融產品,以及貨幣兌換等業務,集團於全球多個國家設辦公室。

據悉,該公司原租用九龍灣億京中心單位,是次租 The Millennity 既可擴充業務,亦可升級至全新甲廈。

The Millennity 首季入伙 租務加快

The Millennity 首季入伙,上月開始有租客遷入,大廈近期租務亦加快,如1座20及21樓全層,每層面積約1.9萬平方呎,合共約3.8萬平方呎,成交呎租約28元。

新租客為一家本地設計公司,原租用大角咀嘉運大廈辦公室,由於業主將重建物業,故需尋找新寫字樓作搬遷。

另觀塘偉業街宏利金融中心亦錄全層租務,涉12樓,面積約3萬平方呎,以每平方呎約23元租出。據悉,新租客為網購公司STRAWBERRYNET,主要售賣美粧產品如香水、化粧品等,該公司原租用工廈物業,現轉租全層甲廈,屬擴充及升級。

據了解,該層樓面原由宏利保險租用,早年集團租用大批樓面,2021年租用同區國際貿易中心(ITT)約14.5萬平方呎樓面,並獲命名權「宏利廣場」,當中不少部門由偉業街宏利金融中心遷入。

另灣仔北海港中心中高層09室,面積約900平方呎,成交呎租約56元。商廈買賣方面,新盤銷情不俗,如黃竹坑黃竹坑道23號再錄全層成交,涉及低層全層,面積約6,151平方呎,以約6,981萬元沽出,呎價約11,350元。

灣仔樂基中心 申重建1幢商廈

位於灣仔灣仔道165至171號的樂基中心,最新撤回舊申請,並重新向城規會申請重建1幢商廈,新申請的建築物高度限制水平較舊申請的減少近1成。

項目附近設有英皇集團中心集成中心等指標商廈,地盤面積約6,932平方呎,現坐落於「住宅 (甲類)」用地之上。

申請人Top Talent Development Limited最新向會方申請以地積比率約15倍,重建1幢25層高 (另設2層地庫) 的商廈,以發展食肆、商店及服務行業、辦公室,總樓面約10.4萬平方呎。

總樓面面積 較舊申請減30

值得一提的是,翻查對上一次申請,申請人擬將建築物高限由110米 (主水平基準上,下同) 放寬至121米,惟是次申請擬將建築物高限維持在110米,減幅約9%,而層數則維持25層。同時,總樓面面積亦錄輕微減幅,新申請的總樓面較舊申請的少30多平方呎。

申請人指,最新申請符合用地的規劃意向,而且灣仔區欠缺足夠的休憩用地,並受灣仔道車流的環境滋擾,相比起用地劃作的住宅用途,地點更適合發展為商業用途。

此外,項目將會加入不同設計優點,包括沿着灣仔道、交加里樓宇後移,及設階梯式的建築設計等。

新世界1.88億沽名鑄50個車位

新世界積極拆售非核心一籃子物業,其中與市建局合作發展的尖沙嘴名鑄,消息指,該公司上月以1.88億沽出項目地庫停車場,涉及約50個停車位,即每個車位平均成交價376萬,據了解,新買家以公司名義購入。

平均每個成交價376

名鑄涉及345伙,項目基座為K11購物藝術館商場及酒店,地庫四層停車場只有59個住客車位,即平均接近6名住戶爭一個車位,因此地庫車位向來渴市。據悉,新世界過往將這批車位作出租用途,高峰期每個車位月租高達逾9000元,現時平均月租約6000元;若以目前租金計算,每個車位的租金回報只有1.91厘。

事實上,新世界近年陸續出售非核心物業,包括去年底以20億沽出新蒲崗九龍貝爾特酒店、過去半年亦先後沽售商廈及商鋪等。

西營盤利宏大樓 強拍底價4.65億

裕景興業就西營盤干諾道西133至134號利宏大樓,於2019年5月向土地審裁處申請強制拍賣,經過約4年時間,最新獲土地審裁處批出強制售賣令,底價定為4.65億元。

利宏大樓位於干諾道西近東邊街,1969年落成,樓齡約54年,屬於1幢8層高的商住唐樓,最低層為地舖連閣樓,其以上作住宅用途,設有2條公共樓梯,沒有升降機。

裕景興業一方於2019年提出強拍時,已經持有該廈約85.71%業權,尚餘約5個單位未能成功收購,土地審裁處最終批准以底價4.65億元拍賣。

資料顯示,利宏大樓佔地約2835方呎,具潛力重建為商業樓宇,可建樓面面積約42530方呎。

另外,土地審裁處2021年拒絕山頂道81號至95號豪宅「十間」小業主聯合提出的強拍申請,申請一方提出上訴,土地審裁處昨天再頒下判案書,認為上訴沒有合理機會取得勝訴,駁回上訴申請。

Secondary home sales lag amid Easter travel exodus


Hong Kong's property transactions slowed during the four-day Easter break as people traveled to the mainland and overseas.

A total of 19 deals were recorded at 10 major housing estates over the holiday, which was down by 64 percent from the 53 transactions notched up last year, according to a property agency.

The number for the weekend alone, though, rose slightly by 10 percent to 11 deals from a week ago.

A property agent said that with society moving back to normality, many Hongkongers went traveling during the break, which affected property viewing activities, leading to a sink in transactions.

The agent expects the focus to remain on the primary market this month and second-hand sales will be affected.

Another property agency also saw deals at 10 blue-chip estates more than halve to 23 over the long break with the weekend transactions up by 9.1 percent to a five-week high of 12 transactions.

Some homeowners have narrowed the room for a price negotiation or have even raised their asking price given the recent positive sentiment in the market. Yet buyers have not followed the rising prices, leaving the secondary market in a tug-of-war situation for the time being, another agent said.

But the agent believes that home sales will gradually pick up - driven by the release of the purchasing power of the "new Hongkongers" from the mainland - as the economy recovers and the interest rate peaks.

In the new homes market, Wheelock Properties' Koko Mare in Lam Tin has released the fourth price list of 58 units at an average price of HK$19,670 per square foot after discounts, up by 7.3 percent from the first listing.

The batch includes 15 one-bedroom units and 43 two-bedroom units, with the cheapest units costing HK$6.4 million after discounts.

Managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu said the price is in line with that in the first batch given the differences in views and direction. The developer has received over 2,100 checks.

It plans to launch a new round of sales next week.

On the luxury front, Sino Land (0083) and CLP (0002) will put 34 flats at St George's Mansions in Ho Man Tin up for tender starting Friday.

外資遷出中環 內地城商銀行進駐

面對甲級商廈租金昂貴及嚴控成本的需要,居家工作 (WFH) 及共用空間的辦公室模式冒起,外資機構近年逐步壓縮位於中環核心區的商廈樓面面積,或棄租一線商廈遷往外區。

跨國企業棄租核心區

畢馬威中國香港區中資金融機構主管合夥人方海雲表示,WFH與辦公室上班的混合模式成為疫後各行業的趨勢,不僅銀行界,其他相關領域如律師樓、審計業及證券公司等亦朝向這個方向發展,跨國企業由原來租用中環核心區多層樓面,可能調整至「幾層縮埋一層」,甚至遷出中環區,辦公室亦奉行「拆牆鬆綁」式彈性共用及智能工作空間。

鑑於大型國有銀行多數已在中環區自置或租賃旗艦物業,方海雲指近年外資退租而騰出的核心商廈空間,如中環國際金融中心 (IFC) 及交易廣場等原有辦事處,獲中資股份制商業銀行或城市商業銀行、券商等進駐部分樓層,對這些新來港的金融機構來說,落戶中環核心區可產生推廣招徠的效果。

上月初彭博報道,法國巴黎銀行計劃把本港大部分員工遷出國際金融中心二期,轉移至鰂魚涌太古坊的辦公室,藉此削減成本,以應對後疫情時代的發展。

粵港澳大灣區內城商行之一的東莞銀行,前年3月獲香港金融管理局授予銀行牌照,在本地設立中國註冊香港分行後,便承租由日本野村集團棄用的部分國際金融中心二期單位。

目前辦公室盤踞國際金融中心一、二期的中資銀行香港分行,包括民生、華夏、興業及國家開發銀行等。

恒生首放租九龍灣總部3層

後疫情時代居家工作 (WFH) 與辦公室上班的混合模式成大勢所趨,跨國大行縮減租賃中環核心區寫字樓面積之際,擁有自置甲級商廈的本地大行亦複檢使用空間,若有過剩面積,便放租「開源」。消息透露,本地第三大銀行恒生銀行 (00011),位於九龍灣的九龍區後勤總部「恒生中心」,10層自置物業廿多年來自用為主,去年底該行完成使用複檢後,其中3層樓面已透過地產代理在市場放租,是該行購入上址物業近30年首次作「全層式放租」安排。

市場消息稱,該3層放租的寫字樓每層面積約26000方呎,涉高、中及低層,即合共達78000方呎,基於保安理由,業主要求每層全層只租予一個租戶 (不會拆散出租)。地產界估計,上址呎租介乎23至25元,因九龍東商廈持續供過於求,未來一段時間呎租難望回復至疫情前水平。

不拆租 料年收逾二千萬

若以下限呎租估算,3層樓面均成功獲承租的話,恒生每月額外租金收入約180萬元,年租收入逾2000萬元。

近年寫字樓市道疲弱,九龍灣的甲級商廈在今年暫只有3宗買賣個案,全為樓齡10年以內的物業,成交呎價由9624至13114元不等。以此推算,緊貼港鐵站的恒生中心現市值呎價約10000元,惟恒生中心樓層只放租,無意放售。

對於放租恒生中心部分樓層,恒生銀行發言人回覆本報查詢時表示,「本行一貫不時會檢視、調整旗下物業的組合和用途,以配合業務發展及不斷轉變的需求。」

據悉,一如其他大型金融機構,過去3年恒生亦受新冠疫情影響,導致辦公室使用率大降,疫後WFH及辦公室工作混合模式已成市場趨勢,目前不計前線分行因工種需要必須回行址上班外,該行員工普遍維持每周WFH一至兩天的安排。因應社會復常後辦公室面積更有效地運用,該行持續進行複檢並研究把過剩的空間放租「開源」,九龍灣恒生中心的評估亦於去年底完成,結論是上址10層自用辦公室預計經重整改造 (Restacking) 之後,可以騰出約3至4層樓面作全層放租。

消息說,疫情肆虐期間辦公室使用率極低,恒生中心若干樓層一些單位曾臨時放租,不過今次「全層式放租」是該行購入上址10層樓面近30年來首次安排。基於租戶必須全層承租,故放租存在難度及需時處理,恒生會在放租前進行空間整改,包括把散布各層的過剩空間集中於同一樓層,上址部分工種及員工可能要遷往恒生位於旺角亞皆老街113號的另一商廈運作。

善用過剩面積開源節流

有代理指出,以九龍灣甲級商廈目前市價計,預料恒生中心的呎租水平約為25元以內,鑑於疫情期間商廈需求及市道受影響,加上該區未來數年有不少大型寫字樓落成,供過於求情況下,相信呎租難望回復至疫情前逾30元的價碼。

恒生銀行近兩年業績失色,去年盈利跌27%至101.7億元,把過剩辦公室面積放租務求開源節流,也符合母公司滙控 (00005) 的集團化政策路向。

畢馬威中國香港區中資金融機構主管合夥人方海雲認為,去年度恒生來自投資物業的租金收入僅2.69億元,只佔該行總營業收入約0.5%,相信恒生中心部分樓層放租,「新增收益對銀行 (貢獻) 亦好濕碎」,但此舉絕對是正面發展,亦是市場大勢所趨,「年輕一代行咗WFH走唔返轉頭」,僱主為挽留人才,都會配合安排。

95年斥10.9億購十層樓面

毗鄰九龍灣「港鐵總部大樓」的「恒生中心」,位於九龍灣偉業街33號德福廣場二期,樓高15層,屬甲級商廈,根據1995年8月的報道,恒生銀行(00011) 當年以10.9億元,向項目發展商港鐵 (00066) 與新世界發展 (00017) 購入恒生中心其中10層寫字樓連大廈命名權,作為該行的九龍區後勤總部,涉及總樓面面積21.4萬方呎,平均呎價5100元。

總樓面超過21萬方呎

時任恒生銀行董事長利國偉表示,恒生中心交易為繼1987年斥資8.4億元購入中環德輔道中83號作為總行旗艦物業以來,該行最大宗的商廈買賣。

多年來,恒生銀行與港鐵的合作關係相當密切,前者幾乎在每個港鐵站內都設有自動櫃員機裝置。

德福二期商廈項目共有兩幢各樓高15層的甲級寫字樓,總樓面面積達56.6萬方呎,恒生購入其中一幢10層樓面並獲冠名為恒生中心,該廈餘下5層樓面及隔鄰的港鐵總部大樓合共總樓面36萬方呎,全部均由港鐵保留自用以及作為後勤總部。

事實上,恒生銀行本身亦持有若干商廈物業,除了中環總行之外,於港九地區擁有不少歷史悠久的地標物業,其中包括位於旺角亞皆老街113號的「恒生113」、旺角彌敦道677號的「恒生旺角大廈」、尖沙咀加拿芬道18號「恒生尖沙咀大廈」,以及灣仔軒尼詩道200號的「恒生灣仔大廈」等。

中環新世界大廈錄「半零售業」承租 林浩文:獲醫學美容及潮玩品牌進駐

兩地通關後,中環新世界大廈錄「半零售業」承租,新世界資產及房地產組合管理總經理林浩文表示,該廈錄專業醫學美容行業,以及日本潮玩品牌進駐,令該廈出租率升至90%,其中,醫學美容由於租用樓面需求比一般公司大,承租能力較強。

儘管未有透露租金,林浩文指出,自從口罩令全面撤銷後,半零售行業積極擴充,專業醫學美容對甲廈租務需求強勁,中環新世界大廈成為目標,由於放置醫美器材,加上部分專業醫生駐場,租用樓面需求比一般公司大,承租力較強。

該廈現時專業醫美行業租戶比例,由疫情前10%增加至現時35%,現時整體出租率逾90%,預計年底升至逾95%水平。

醫學美容比例佔35%

至於地鋪出租率更高達100%,租金穩步增長,他預計明年上升至疫情前水平。由於對前景樂觀,新簽租戶租約期較長,反映對本港經濟前景樂觀。

除了醫學美容外,日本潮玩品牌BE@RBRICK,近期亦在大廈租用2層樓面,面積逾1.5萬方呎,該公司尚舉辦「BE@RBRICK WORLD WIDE TOUR 3」日本以外首站的世界巡迴展覽,展期至5月中。

新世界大廈總出租樓面約48萬方呎,現時約有3至4層樓面等租,涉及約4.5萬方呎,每層面積約5000至1萬方呎,已獲多組客洽談,預計未來數月完成交易。

日本BE@RBRICK承租兩全層

他續指,通關後,集團旗下甲廈接獲買賣及租務查詢,包括內地金融機構及科技企業等,反映企業對本港經濟前景樂觀,相信推動今年第3及第4季甲廈成交量,加快市場復甦。

奢侈品牌租1.4萬呎巨鋪 疫後最大宗鋪位租務

新世界大廈地鋪,早前由意大利奢華品牌Brunello Cucinelli旗下生活家品牌Casa Cucinelli進駐,林浩文表示,該店搶閘於去年底全面通關前攻港,開設全亞洲最大型旗艦店,疫後消費模式轉變,品牌更注重顧客消費體驗,合共承租3層巨鋪,面積逾1.4萬方呎,店內設有接待室及展示廳等,屬疫市後最大宗鋪位租務。

上月錄1894宗工商鋪租賃

該行代理表示,3月份工商鋪租務,對比2月勁升20%,比較2022年3月同期更有約43%升幅,更自2021年8月後新高,反映商戶對承租工商鋪開業信心回升。3月份租務總金額約1.25億,按月增約22%,按年急增約53%

代理行:創一年半單月新高

該代理續表示,商鋪升幅最大,3月份錄約548宗租賃,對比上月多出約52%,按年更上升約一倍,足見商戶對零售及餐飲前景看好,紛紛租鋪迎接新一波消費力。同時,3月份鋪位租務總成交金額6703萬,按月多出約75%,與2022年相比同樣增加約一倍。

該代理指,工廈宗數居首位,3月共約832宗租務,總金額約2101萬,對比2月分別升約12%及11%,按年增約15%及9%。

寫字樓由今年1月約313宗,按月增至最新約514宗,對比2月份多出約8%,較去年同期明顯改善約57%,3月份寫字樓總金額錄約3780萬。

政府部門租創紀之城3萬呎 呎租25元

近月東九龍不少租務成交來自政府機構搬遷,觀塘創紀之城一期3萬平方呎樓面,獲政府機構租用,呎租約25元。據了解,涉及部門為選舉事務處,原租用九展因大廈重建需搬遷。

市場消息指,觀塘創紀之城一期錄得租務成交,涉及約3萬平方呎樓面,成交呎租約25元。據了解,新租客為政府部門,料屬旗下選舉事務處使用。該辦事處主力負責選民登記、舉辦選舉等工作,需要一定樓面運作。

原租用九展 搬遷兼擴充

據悉,機構目前其中一辦事處,位於九龍灣國際展貿中心,涉及約2萬平方呎。由於億京牽頭財團早前收購九展,去年提出的九龍灣重建計劃,近期獲准放寬高度限制4成,以重建上址成為3幢地標商業樓宇,預計2027年落成,故現有租客料在未來一段時間需遷出。政府部門現於同區租用創紀之城,並有所擴充樓面。

東九龍甲廈樓面多,不少政府部門均使用該區樓面,如去年承租東九龍多個商廈,包括一號九龍城東誌企業廣場五期等,合共逾11萬平方呎,料涉及衞生署、港台等機構使用。可配合「起動九龍東」計劃作帶頭作用,持續進行擴充。

最近市場上大手租務成交,多來自東九龍,如觀塘巧明街大型綜合商業項目「The Millennity」落成,項目2座28樓全層,面積約1.26萬平方呎,以每平方呎約28元租出。新租客為金融科技公司Doo Group。

另其他九龍區租務,旺角新世紀廣場第一座17樓,面積約22,175平方呎,以每呎約30餘元租出。新租客為商務中心品牌Regus,本身已租用該廈約7千平方呎樓面,現進行擴充。據了解,是次租出樓面,原由內地共享空間品牌租用。

至於九龍灣國際交易中心中高層01、09至12室,面積約13,089平方呎,以每月約28.8萬元租出,成交呎租約22元。

上月工商舖買賣反彈 按月升近7成

中港通關有利投資市場,3月份整體工商舖買賣上升7成,至於後市,業界料高息環境令中細銀碼物業較受惠。

工商舖註冊量反彈,有代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示,3月份工商舖註冊量是自2022年6月以來最多,共錄451宗 (主要反映2月份市況、剔除54宗內部轉讓個案),按月急升約68.3%,而註冊金額則錄58.33億元,按月大升約78.7%。

當中工商舖各板塊註冊宗數全綫上升,商廈表現最好,註冊量按月升1.5倍至110宗;工廈表現亦相當不俗,最新錄240宗註冊,按月大升約84.6%。商舖板塊則表現平穩,3月錄得101宗登記,按月上升約7.4%。

金鐘指標商廈 呎價高位挫4

商廈成交上,3月份核心區指標商廈錄買賣成交,包括金鐘遠東金融中心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%。

若按金額劃分,3月份註冊量升幅最多的為價值逾500萬至1,000萬元的物業,按月增約1.1倍至101宗,其次為逾1,000萬至2,000萬元及逾5,000萬至1億元的物業,按月分別急升約86.5%及62.5%至69宗和13宗登記。在逾億元買賣註冊方面,3月維持4宗,其中商廈及舖位物業註冊各有2宗,商廈包括有長沙灣南商金融創新中心27樓9個單位,以及旺角砵蘭街450至454號HQ全幢,作價分別為2.41億元及3.5億元。商舖則包括有旺角商業大廈地下至4樓多個舖位及屯門城點基座商場,成交金額分別為3.5億元及4.4億元。

高息環境 中細碼物業後市受惠

該行代理表示,受聯儲局加息影響,不少的債券價格大幅下跌,導致不少存戶從持有相關資產的金融機構提款,部分銀行更因流動性危機而被接管或併購。不過,隨着聯儲局向銀行提供短期貸款,預料歐美的金融市場暫時將會恢復穩定,短期內對本地工商舖市場的影響有限。不過,由於美國整體通脹率回落的幅度緩慢,部分範疇的通脹率仍然居高不下,該代理相信未來的高息環境會持續。大手物業成交將會保持淡靜,但對於一些資金充裕的投資者而言,仍有能力買入一些中低價物業,預料這類物業仍會錄得可觀的交投數字。

通關後商廈租務看俏 疫後新生態漸現

隨着疫情消退、中港通關,本地經濟邁向復常,帶動工商舖市場投資氣氛好轉。根據政府統計處中小型企業業務狀況調查,中小企業務收益的現時動向指數由去年12月的46.1,彈升6%至2月的49,顯示中小企對未來業務情況較去年樂觀,整體就業情況持續改善。

踏入經濟重啟的新階段,企業和投資者重拾信心,寫字樓市場在2023年恢復交投動力。近期商廈租務交投步伐略見加快,根據一間代理行2月發表的商廈市場報告指出,租務成交量按月攀升53.6%至401宗,相信是企業選擇擴充令租賃需求逐漸回升。

其中,內地旅客來港進行醫療美容或專業體檢服務的需求漸增,尤其在通關後交投更活躍,其中旺角中心、佐敦香港體檢中心的醫療樓層錄得數宗醫學美容承租個案,反映醫療及美容中心的擴張需求仍然強勁,可望提振傳統旅遊旺區如尖沙咀、旺角的寫字樓租賃需求。

利好因素 帶動後市表現

展望中長綫發展,市場人士認為各大零售核心區周邊且具樓上舖概念的寫字樓更受市場追捧,原因是可滿足跨境醫療旅客對私隱度高、環境舒適方便的要求,同時該類型物業仍屬低水,預料可以吸引資金流入,預計有質素的商廈物業前景理想,以尖沙咀為例,該區商廈平均呎價介乎10,536元至12,081元,回報率更達2.8%至3.4%。

長綫而言,商業地皮的拍賣情況值得留意,例如今財年即將推3幅位處市區核心地段的地皮,不論是金鐘、灣仔或啟德均極具策略性及發展潛力,料能夠吸引本地和內地大型發展商入標。同時,市場憧憬政府一連串「招商引才」相關措施帶來正面影響,帶動企業落戶需求,相信未來會有不同行業的公司持續在港購入或租用寫字樓,有利商廈長遠發展及成交。

政府產業署每年覆檢未盡其用的政府土地,以騰出作其他發展用途。今年預計將騰出26.8萬平方呎的古洞石仔嶺花園,配合新界東北發展興建道路及安老院;而灣仔海旁3幢政府大樓,則預計最快仍要2026年之後才有機會騰出。

石仔嶺花園 騰出26.8萬呎

根據產業署回覆立法會的資料顯示,當局過去3年騰出了合共4幅用地作不同用途,其中前堅尼地城已婚警察宿舍B座,面積2.7萬平方呎,將會撥出作為公營房屋發展。

據資料顯示,前堅尼地城已婚警察宿舍B座多年來有意重建,早在2002年所有居民均已經遷出,一直空置長達逾10年,按照政府規劃該宿舍將聯同前香港學堂臨時校舍用地,一併重建成約1,200個公營房屋單位。

至於今年會騰出的石仔嶺花園,則前身為英軍軍營,多年來出租予安老院營運,在2020年已經開始清折,估計產業署今年度屬於正式交地作發展。

在產業署未來計劃騰出的土地之中,最為矚目為灣仔海旁3座政府大樓,將會發展成貴重商業項目,不過據產業署指,有關政府大樓原有部門的重置計劃涉及興建9個重置項目,其中4個項目已經落成並陸續啟用,餘下5個重置項目正在興建中,預計將相繼於2023至2026年完工。換句話,相信在未來3年內要推出該地皮的機會不大。

建華集團2年9.35億 購啟德2商場

6.5億買啟德1號基座 回報約5厘

地區商場承接力強。較早前,中國海外 (00688) 以6.5億元,沽出旗下樓盤啟德1號基座商場舖位,買家為建華集團,增持舖位料部分作自用。

資料顯示,啟德沐寧街2號及8號,均為啟德1號基座商場,以6.5億元成交,按物業面積約3.5萬平方呎計,呎價逾1.85萬元。由兩間有限公司登記購入,其中一間的董事為建華集團行政總裁凌偉業。

經營街市的建華集團,亦曾於啟德購舖。2021年集團向合景泰富 (01813) 及龍湖地產 (00960) 購入啟德住宅尚‧珒,基座舖位,涉2.85億元,連同是次大手入市,2年斥9.35億元購入啟德商舖。

翻查資料,地段2號地下及1樓,面積約17,360平方呎,地下舖位面積由637平方呎起,租客主要為地產代理,1樓則由酒店租用。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。現時兩商場舖位總月租高見274萬元,按6.5億元成交價計,租金回報率高見約5厘,估計建華將收回部分舖位自用。

旺角花園街舖 1.15億易手

另資料顯示,旺角花園街45至47號地下A號舖,即波鞋街地舖,以1.15億元成交,以舖位面積約2,000平方呎計算,呎價約5.75萬元。舖位原由「波鞋街大王」之稱的彭漢釗持有,1986年以303萬元購入,上月則以1.15億元沽出,持貨37年帳面大賺37倍或1.1億元。事實上,比鄰舖位,即花園街45至47號地下B號,則在2月份凱施餅店以1.148億元沽出。

市況轉好 老牌投資者趁機沽貨

通關後投資市場持續向好,而業界老牌投資者趁市況轉好,紛大手放售物業,希望藉此套現,再作部署。

最近不少資深投資者大手放售舖位,較為積極包括「舖王」鄧成波家族,近2年不時大手放售旗下物業,日前再有一張最新放售物業清單曝光,合共25項物業,分布港九新界,包括有舖位、商住樓、寫字樓及車場等,市值合共約逾60億元。

該批物業分布觀塘、旺角、尖沙咀及灣仔,價值最高為觀塘興業街1號駱駝漆中心全幢,物業位於開源道及興業街交界,距離港鐵觀塘站2分鐘步程。總樓面面積約逾10萬平方呎,項目樓高7層,已轉作商舖用途,市值約11.2億元。翻查資料,2017年波叔曾委託測量師行放售,叫價28.8億元,去年推出時叫價約14億,已減價一半,按最新叫價計,再減20%。

鄧成波家族 放售25項物業

另外,位於尖沙咀加拿分道37至39號物業,以約6.8億元放售,目前按月收租約59.6萬元;另外,家族透過代理行放售深水埗欽洲街明輝大廈商住樓,亦在物業清單內,意向價約1.8億元。

至於另一資深投資者羅守輝,亦推出2項貴重物業放售,其中位於尖東有尖東廣場多層商舖價值最高。物業屬於尖沙咀加連威老道94號明輝中心基座商場,位置上,為尖沙咀中部前往尖東必經之路。早年基座商場由不同商戶租用,包括銀行、餐廳、快餐店等,而業主羅守輝早年關閉商場進行質素提升,最大改動為原本多商場屬中空設計,業主決定把樓上多層樓面填平,並放棄部分地庫樓面,令樓上每層樓面加大,亦可作獨立出租,適合餐廳等使用全層。另外,業主亦更換升降機,提高質素,而個別樓層更享有露台,據悉當時翻新費高達約1億元。

東昌大廈兩層舖 市值約6.8

據了解,物業地庫、低層地下、地下.高層地下,以及1至3樓,每層面積由1萬至1.4萬平方呎,總樓面約90,222平方呎,佔全幢明輝中心的不分割份數60.1%,現以約16.8億元放售。值得一提,經翻新後加裝高清玻璃幕牆、大型LED顯示屏及四面廣告招牌,其外牆極具宣傳之效。

另一項羅守輝推出物業為金鐘東昌大廈商舖部分,涉及物業1及2樓,面積分別約9,641及13,119平方呎,合共約22,760平方呎,舖位曾由健身中心租用,現時交吉。舖位一大賣點,是比鄰今年落成的全新甲廈 The Henderson,整體商業氣氛進一步提升,故商舖需求亦高,物業市值約6.8億元,呎價約3萬元。

分析指,自通關後整體商舖投資氣氛明顯向好,交投有所增加,而持重貨的老牌業主,有見氣氛遠較去年理想,故即趁機放售物業,希望趁市旺沽貨套現資金,留待日後再作部署,故近期見老牌業主推售物業甚積極。

PRESALE APPROVALS jump 90pc in march


Three projects with a total of 1,482 homes were granted presale consents last month - an increase of 703 units or 90.2 percent month-on-month, according to the Lands Department.

But the department granted only eight residential presale consents in the first quarter of this year, allowing for the sale of 4,031 units. This marks a decrease of 15.7 percent from the fourth quarter of last year, when 4,784 units were granted presale consents.

The three new developments approved for presales in March include In One phase IC atop the Ho Man Tin MTR Station, a joint venture between Chinachem and MTR Corp (0066) involving 214 units. They have an anticipated completion date of May 5, 2025.

The developers launched the first round of sales earlier this month to promote and sell 210 flats, and by Monday 161 were sold. They accounted for more than 76 percent of the flats available for sale and brought a return of nearly HK$2.85 billion.

The other two projects approved for presales are Twin Victoria by China Overseas (0688), featuring 702 flats, and The Knightsbridge, a collaborative effort between six developers, with 566 flats.

Both projects are at Kai Tak.

Meanwhile, developers of a residential project in Tai Kei Leng, Yuen Long, have applied to increase the building density by over 20 percent to construct 345 flats.

The project is said to be a collaboration between Henderson Land (0012) and New World Development (0017).

It has also been reported that a consortium has purchased an old building at 59-77 Prince Edward Road West in Mong Kok for redevelopment at a price of about HK$11,000 per square foot.

The residential component of the purchase is said to be about HK$591 million.

Elsewhere, St George's Mansions in Ho Man Tin will begin the tender sale of 34 units this Friday. The upscale development has sold 27 flats since its launch in mid-2020, bringing in almost HK$3.3 billion in revenue.

And this Saturday, Wheelock Properties will release the second batch of flats for sale at Koko Mare in Lam Tin. The batch will include a total of 98 flats, with sizes ranging from 310 to 529 sq ft, and discounted prices ranging from HK$5.9 million to HK$11.1 million.

In other news, high street shop rents in Hong Kong are expected to increase by up to 10 percent in 2023 due to the significant return of tourists, while office rents are anticipated to soften further and may drop by up to five percent, according to a property agency.

High street shop rents experienced a quarterly recovery of 1.2 percent in the first quarter, bouncing back from a 3 percent decline in 2022.

尖沙嘴新港中心單位1.5億易手 日資公司沽售持貨18年升值47%

兩地通關後,商廈市況逐步改善,尖沙嘴新港中心錄1宗大買賣,一個面積近9400方呎單位,以逾1.5億易手,平均呎價1.6萬,新買家為用家,原業主為日資公司,物業於18年間升值47%。

上址為尖沙嘴新港中心第1座1407至11室,建築面積約9392方呎,以每呎約1.6萬易手,上述單位市值呎租38元,以易手價計算,料回報2.85厘。

有代理指,上述為高層單位,景觀開揚,亦屬大廈罕有大型單位放售,成交價屬市價水平。

平均呎價1.6

於2018年市況高峰期,新港中心16樓單位,建築面積約1947方呎,造價4478.1萬,平均呎價2.3萬,最新造價較高位回落30%。

近年市場屢錄日資公司沽商廈,年前,日本玩具生產商TOMY沽售同區星光行一籃子全海景寫字樓單位,12樓07至12室、同層14至16及16A室,建築面積約9621方呎,屬全海景辦公室單位,作價逾1.443億,呎價約1.5萬,較2020年初同廈同類單位的呎價約2.1萬元,大幅回落近30%。原業主80年代購入該批商廈單位。

中環中心每呎50元租出

新港中心罕有大單位買賣,約9392方呎,以1.5億易手,平均呎價1.6萬,較2018年高峰期回落30%。

字節跳動擴充 租中環國際金融中心2萬呎

呎租料120元 通關帶動超甲廈租務

中港通關帶動中資企業擴充,中環超甲廈國際金融中心一期2萬平方呎樓面,獲中資科企巨頭字節跳動租用,呎租料約120元,屬擴充個案。該層樓面原由瑞士寶盛集團租用,早前集團遷往港島東。

市場消息指,中環國際金融中心一期錄得租務成交,涉及物業中層單位,面積約2萬平方呎,以每呎約120元租出,屬市價水平。據了解,新租客為中資科技公司字節跳動,近年旗下社交應用程式TikTok更是極受歡迎,屬科企巨頭。該集團原租用港島區較細辦公室,是次租國際金融中心一期單位,既可整合業務及擴充,並可升級至超甲廈。

翻查資料,該層樓面原由瑞士老牌私人銀行寶盛集團租用,該集團原本租用中環國際金融中心一期3層樓面,以及交易廣場等樓面,合共逾7萬平方呎。2021年,該集團決定預租鰂魚涌太古坊二座4層樓面作搬遷,可節省租金支出,如今其中一層樓面獲中資企業承租,另其餘近兩層樓面,仍在待租中。

中石油租友邦金融中心全層

通關後中資機構稍轉活躍,消息指,中環超甲廈友邦金融中心 (AIA Central) 全層,面積約1.5萬平方呎,以每呎約100元租出,新租客為國企中石油,料今次屬擴充業務。

事實上,近期整體超甲廈租務有增,如 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,新租客為加拿大退休金計劃投資局 (CPPIB)。據一間外資代理行資料顯示,目前中環甲廈空置率為8.9%,而最新一季租金約按季跌約1.5%。

另消息稱,中環中心中層03室,面積約2,770平方呎,以每月近14萬元租出,呎租約50元。

買賣方面,傳統商廈交投亦稍加快。消息指,尖沙咀新港中心第一座高層07至11室,面積約9,392平方呎,1.5億元成交,呎價約1.6萬元。是次成交涉及5單位,部分連租約,平均呎租約35至36元,另兩單位交吉。據了解,原業主為一家日資公司,早於2005年購入該層樓面全層。呎價方面,2022年11月,施永青旗下的「施永青基金」,以1,875萬元出售新港中心高層單位,當時成交呎價僅1.25萬元,現時有所回升。

太古坊二座預租率逾半

鰂魚涌、太古一帶漸成港島東的主要商業區,該帶的舊樓及工廈具重建價值,初步估計區內的重建項目涉逾464萬平方呎商業樓面,而有「區內大地主」之稱的太古,依然相當積極拓展區內商業王國,當中已與去年落成的太古坊二座,佔約70萬平方呎總樓面,最新預租率過半數。

鰂魚涌以往屬於住宅及工業為主的社區,但隨着區內的大地主太古地產  (01972) 陸續將區內廠房、工廈重建成為太古坊的商廈群,漸變成本港第2個商業延伸區,吸引不少大型機構進駐。

太古坊重建耗資150

本身已經坐擁區內商業王國太古坊的太古地產,依然積極鞏固其地位,發展商早前展開太古坊重建計劃,耗資約150億元,其中太古坊一座已於2018年落成,而太古坊二座則於去年9月落成,現為1座樓高42層的甲級寫字樓,總樓面面積逾98.3萬平方呎。太古地產近日透露,項目的預租率升至逾56%,現時租戶包括瑞士寶盛、東方匯理香港、中信銀行 (國際) 等。

仁孚工廈獲批強拍 底價逾50

同時,太古地產收購逾10年的鰂魚涌仁孚工業大廈,已在去年初獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價為約50.526億元。發展商早於2018年已經就項目及比鄰的船塢里8號華廈工業大廈申請強拍。據集團透露,若最終成功投得上述2項目,將計劃重建為辦公樓及其他商業用途,總樓面約77.9萬平方呎。

由於該區加快轉型,發展商看準機遇,陸續為收購區內工廈及舊樓。太古及恒地 (00012) 旗下的鰂魚涌濱海街16至94號及英皇道983至987A號舊樓,亦已在去年3月獲屋宇署批建2幢28層高 (另設3層平台及2層地庫) 的商住大廈,及設有住戶康樂設施,住用總樓面約36.83萬平方呎,非住用樓面則涉約7.24萬平方呎。

另外,原由太平協和所持有的鰂魚涌海裕街地盤,於去年中招標放售,可重建的商業樓面涉約40萬平方呎。消息指,項目的市值約40億元,每呎樓面地價約1萬元,但日後轉作商廈用途時需補地價。項目在2021年3月獲通過有關原址換地申請,擬換地後的地盤面積或可達91,838平方呎,經補地價後或可提供建築面積約40萬平方呎樓面,發展為5幢34米至41米 (主水平基準以上) 的建築物,用作酒店及辦公室,並設4.1萬平方呎的觀景平台。

去年甲廈空置率 創98年後新高

受疫情打擊,去年寫字樓的空置率進一步攀升。據差估署近日公布的《香港物業報告2023》初步統計數字,2022年寫字樓的整體空置率則升至14.4%,按年增2.1個百分點。至於甲級寫字樓的空置率則升至15.1%,較2021年的12.5%升2.6個百分點,兩者均創下於1998年後,即24年後新高紀錄。

疫情拖累 寫字樓需求受壓

報告亦提及,除中區錄8.7%較低空置率外,所有分區的甲級寫字樓均錄得雙位數的空置率,可見甲廈的空置情況頗為嚴重。

另外,由於受全球利率上升、疫情等利淡因素影響,2022年大部分時間的經濟前景變得黯淡,為市場帶來不確定性,及導致寫字樓需求受壓。2022年第4季度甲級寫字樓的售價,及租金分別按年下跌4.9%及2.6%。

翻查差估署資料,截至2023年1月,該月的甲級寫字樓平均租金最貴的地區屬於中區,每平方呎租約94元,其次為上環,每平方呎租約86元,排名第3為灣仔/銅鑼灣,每平方呎呎租約60元,緊隨其後是北角/鰂魚涌,每平方呎租約50元。

外資代理行:商舖租務增 料今年租金升1成

通關後旅客重返,有外資代理行指,商舖租務明顯上升,料今年舖租升約10%,而寫字樓空置樓面仍多,全年租金料跌約5%。

中港通關後,核心區舖位租務明顯上升,該行資料顯示,首季核心區舖位租務達45萬平方呎,為近十多年來單一季度最高,反映旅客重返,令商戶重新租舖,空置率下降0.5個百分點至14.9%,

該行代理表示,零售商現考慮實體店擴張,把握旅客重臨的機會,惟奢侈品牌目前大多持觀望態度。該代理指核心區街鋪租金按季上升1.2%,預計今年將上升5至10%。

寫字樓空置多 全年租金跌約5%

寫字樓市場方面,該行另一代理指,通關後寫字樓租賃在2023年第一季度有所改善,淨吸納量連續第三個季度保持正增長,達到15.9萬平方呎,空置率自2018年第四季度以來首次下跌0.2個百分點至15.1%,總空置面積為1,290萬平方呎。後市上,該代理指整體商業氣氛將改善,惟今年仍有260萬平方呎新供應,故料全年空置率仍上升至16%以上,全年寫字樓租金仍跌約5%。

伯恩光學觀塘工廈今舉行強拍

伯恩光學創辦人楊建文併購的觀塘業發工業大廈1期,去年獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令後,最新落實於今日舉行公開拍賣,底價為23.49億。料與毗鄰項目重建商廈發展,涉72萬方呎。

業發工業大廈1期位於觀塘開源道77號,現址1幢15層高工廈,早於1978年落成,至今約45年樓齡。

該舊樓地盤面積約2萬方呎,土地用途為商貿地帶,若地積比約12倍重建發展,涉及可建總樓面約24萬方呎,若以強拍底價計算,每方呎樓面呎價約9788元。

ByteDance moves into One International Finance Centre


Hong Kong's commercial property market is regaining momentum with ByteDance moving into One International Finance Centre and a new office tower in Tsim Sha Tsui going on the market for HK$2.5 billion.

ByteDance is shifting to a bigger office at one of Hong Kong's most prestigious locations in Central, a company spokesperson said, taking a major step to expand its presence in the financial hub after a year of cautious global expansion.

The world's most valuable tech startup's lease at One International Finance Centre will cover 20,000 square feet at HK$120 per sq ft or HK$2.4 million per month, local media reported, citing unidentified people in the market.

Elsewhere in Tsim Sha Tsui, a brand new Grade A office building on Humphreys Avenue is up sale for about HK$2.5 billion or HK$43,000 per sq ft, as companies are coming back to the city following the reopening of the border with the mainland in January.

Currently held by Henry Group, the 22-storey building is close to Nathan Road and Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. It is expected to be completed in the second quarter of this year.

Meanwhile, Biel Crystal won a compulsory auction of the first phase of an industrial building in Kwun Tong for the reserve price of HK$2.35 billion, becoming the sole owner of the property.

A property agency estimates the rents of Grade A buildings will rally 5 percent in Central and Admiralty this year, with a 3 percent rise for the overall market, while another agency forecasts a decline of 4 percent at most this year, citing excessive supply.

In terms of shops, the agency predicts rents will rise 3 to 8 percent yearly in the first half, but still remain below pre-pandemic levels. Savills sees rents for quality stores growing up to 12 percent this year.

TikTok parent ByteDance to consolidate Hong Kong offices in One International Finance Centre

‘Given the current double-digit office vacancy rate and discounted market, tenants have a great opportunity to upgrade or consolidate their office space,’ a property agent says

Transformers-themed restaurant ‘The Ark’ to open this month

Chinese technology company ByteDance, known for its short-video apps TikTok and Douyin, is set to move its multiple offices across Hong Kong into a new space at One International Finance Centre in Central, with the city’s commercial property market offering opportunities to upgrade or consolidate offices.

ByteDance had rented office space at One International Finance Centre, a representative told the Post. According to a person familiar with the matter, the Chinese technology company, which has multiple offices in Hong Kong, including one in Times Square and another space at WeWork in Lee Garden One, was set to move them into the new space.

Staff at the Times Square office, which is the registered address for ByteDance (HK) Limited, declined to answer questions upon a physical visit. One International Finance Centre did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment.

“Given the current double-digit office vacancy rate and discounted market, tenants have a great opportunity to upgrade or consolidate their office space,” a property agent said. “This allows them to be better positioned to retain talent and prepare for future business opportunities when the economy further recovers.”

Notably, Huawei Technologies Co leased 15,500 sq ft at the World Finance Centre in Greater Tsim Sha Tsui in the fourth quarter of last year, according to another property agency.

Hong Kong’s new grade-A office supply, including two buildings in Central, is expected to total 3.5 million sq ft in 2023, according to the property agency. New supply is expected to ease from 4 million sq ft last year, but could be significantly higher than the 2019 to 2021 period, when Hong Kong witnessed social unrest and coronavirus outbreaks.

Gross leasing volume jumped in the January-to-March period this year by 42 per cent quarter on quarter to 1.1 million sq ft from the preceding quarter’s low base, another agency said, but leasing activity was mainly driven by relocation of a few sizeable firms.

“With companies’ cost-control policies still in effect and further new office supply in the pipeline, vacancies are expected to trend higher and ensure pressure on rents for the rest of 2023,” an agent said.

The space ByteDance is renting in One International Finance Centre was previously occupied by Switzerland-based bank Julius Baer Group, and the about 20,000 sq ft area will cost around HK$120 (US$15.30) per square foot, according to another person familiar with the matter. Even though TikTok is facing a backlash overseas and might be banned in the United States over data security concerns, ByteDance posted record income last year.

Elsewhere, “The Ark”, a restaurant based on the Transformers franchise, is expected to open in Causeway Bay’s Russell Street – once the most expensive retail strips in the world – on April 23 after being boarded up for about a year.

“We are in the final stages of operations, training and interior layout,” Tony Smyth, senior vice-president of corporate development and communications at iFree Group, told the Post. Restaurant operator A La Carte, a wholly owned food-and-beverage division of Hong Kong-headquartered technology company iFree, is fully licensed by entertainment company Hasbro to run Transformers-themed restaurants in Asia.

The restaurant rented the space at a substantially lower rent than Burberry, the previous tenant, according to market sources. It will be the latest international restaurant to open on the street, following openings by burger outlet Five Guys and Ruby Tuesday.

An improvement in property market sentiment and demand came as Hong Kong’s latest unemployment rate dropped to 3.3 per cent for the December to February period, marking a tenth straight monthly decline.

Both the rents of prime street shops and major shopping centres showed a “strong rebound” of up to 3.9 to 5 per cent quarter on quarter, indicating the first major turnaround in rents since the first quarter of 2019, according to another agency.

「磁帶大王」11.6億放售中環中心涉75樓全層 意向每呎4.8萬

兩地通關後,投資者見市場氣氛改善,大手放售物業,「磁帶大王」陳秉志持有的中環中心多層樓面,其中75樓全層推出放售,意向價近11.6億,平均每呎4.8萬,並以全港第5高建築物作為招徠。

上址為中環中心75樓全層,建築面積約24121方呎,由於樓面龐大,涉及銀碼高達11.57億,昨日有不少住宅部代理,收取由商業部代理發出物業訊息,字眼具創意,指該項目為「晉身跨國企業形象的階梯」,大廈以高度聞名香港,為香港第5高大廈。

電訊商承租 料回報2

至於前4位高樓則全部「非賣品」,分別為西九龍環球貿易廣場、中環國際金融中心、灣仔中環廣場以及中環中國銀行總行中銀大廈,並強調「商廈講求地段、 級數、重建價值及自用罕有性,而非回報率」。

可買賣公司省印花稅

而事實上,該75樓全層實用率近80%,租客為中國聯通,月租167萬,於明年6月30日屆滿,平均69.23元,市場人士指,租金屬市價水平,若以意向價計算,料回報不足2厘。該物業可以買賣公司,省卻釐印費,市場人士指,相信日後買家為自用客居多。

過往,「磁帶大王」陳秉志連環沽售中環中心,包括25樓全層,涉資逾6.75億,48樓全層以逾9.8億沽售,除了全層之外,他亦以約4億賣出中環中心42樓「中轉樓層」的70%業權予金利豐朱李月華。

中環中心於2017年11月以402億易手,為矚目世紀大刁,買家還包括世茂許榮茂、金利豐朱李月華、「小巴大王」馬亞木、「物流張」張順宜、投資者蔡志忠及商人盧文端。

「磁帶大王」陳秉志11.6億放售中環中心75樓全層,呎價4.8萬,回報料不足2厘。

字節跳動進駐國際金融中心一期承租約2萬呎樓面

兩地通關後甲廈租賃漸改善,中資科技巨企字節跳動擴充樓面,承租中環國際金融中心一期單位,面積約2萬呎,業界料呎租約120元。

中資科技公司字節跳動,旗下社交應用程式TikTok極受歡迎,該公司近期亦擴充樓面,承租中環超甲廈國際金融中心一期單位,面積約2萬方呎,以整合業務及作為擴充,業界料呎租約120元,屬市價水平,月租約240多萬。

業界料呎租約120

該全層舊租客為瑞士老牌私人銀行寶盛集團,原本租用中環國際金融中心一期3全層樓面,以及鄰近的交易廣場單位,合共面積逾7萬方呎,一年多前遷至鰂魚涌太古坊二座,承租4層樓面,以節省租金支出。至於騰空的國際金融中心一期3層樓面,目前由字節跳動率先承租1層,其餘的2層樓面仍然放租中。業內人士表示,疫情期間,作為超甲廈的國際金融中心亦不乏空置,料隨着兩地通關,未來料加快租出。

甲廈錄負吸量24.8萬呎 外資代理行:租金按季跌1.5%

有外資代理行指出,第一季甲廈再度錄負淨吸納量24.8萬方呎,反映企業以節省成本為目標,擴租需求普遍較少,整體待租率攀升至17.1%,租金續見下調壓力,按季回落1.5%,與上年同期相比跌7.9%,首季以港島東和九龍東租金跌幅較明顯,按季下調超過2%。

預測全年租金跌2%至4%

該行代理指,過去數周,寫字樓查詢及看樓活動漸回升,不過,仍需要一段時間才能轉化實際租賃成交,通關為市場釋出利好訊息,但目前寫字樓待租率處高水平,預測全年租金跌2%至4%。

新租賃以銀行及金融行業租戶 (33.3%) 面積佔比最大,其次專業服務行業 (14.8%) 及醫療美容 (13.5%)。九龍東及中區分別佔比超過30%及20%。展望未來幾個月,內地企業潛在需求有助帶動寫字樓租賃。另外,本年下半年度將有近200萬方呎新供應落成,預租面積將為市場帶來正吸納量,維持全年吸納量預測約在40萬方呎水平。

上半年鋪租料升3至8%

今年首兩個月零售業總銷貨額總計693億,由於去年基數較低,按年錄17.3%升幅。街鋪空置率普遍下跌,旺角空置率按季下降1.8個百分點至10.9%,中環下降1.4個百分點至9.9%,尖沙嘴下降1.2個百分點至15.5%,銅鑼灣空置率維持在7.9%。由本地白領和高端旅客支持的中環,租金按季升3.2%,旺角按季升2.8%,銅鑼灣則按季升2.4%。

外資代理行:料利息次季見頂 大手買賣將趨向活躍

有外資代理行指出,受加息影響,今年首季巿場僅錄15宗大手交易 (億元或以上),總值91億,按年跌16%,按季跌15%。不過,隨着歐美銀行危機漸穩定,利率快見頂,大手買賣將在第二季變活躍。

首季僅錄15宗大手交易

該行代理表示,零售 (價值2億內) 和住宅地將吸引投資者,政府發布《有關香港發展家族辦公室業務的政策宣言》中措施,中長期推高物業需求和價格。近期,準買家查詢量恢復2019年中前60%至70%,包括基金及內地投資者。

該行另一代理表示,今年甲廈落成量可達350萬方呎,包括中環2座新供應,空置率偏高,不過,租賃活動增加,今年第一季凈吸收量9.3萬方呎,整體甲廈空置率微降至14.7%。

第1季甲廈租金按年跌1.3%

另一代理說,今年第一季整體甲廈租金按年跌1.3%,尖沙嘴空置率按季跌0.4%至12%,今年1月至2月,整體零售業銷售額按年增長17.3%,包括珠寶鐘表增62.6%及服裝增46.3%,帶動鋪位市況。

另有代理指,本季倉庫空置率為3.3%,按季保持穩定,低空置率租金偏向業主叫價,只略下降0.5%,普通工業租金同期按季增長0.5%。 另一代理料住宅市場表現向好,年內升幅5%至9%。

伯恩光學23.49億奪觀塘工廈 與毗鄰項目合併重建可建樓面約72萬呎

觀塘工業區起動,不少財團趁勢把旗下工廈改劃作商業發展,由伯恩光學楊氏家族併購的觀塘業發工業大廈1期,昨日以底價23.49億投得,成功統一業權發展。料日後該項目將與毗鄰的項目合併重建1幢樓高39層的商廈,涉及總樓面約72萬方呎。

由伯恩光學創辦人楊建文併購的觀塘業發工業大廈1期,早於2018年向土地審裁處申請強拍,去年獲該處頒下強制售賣令後,昨日舉行公開拍賣,結果由手持「3號牌」財團代表,在無競爭對手下,以底價23.49億投得,成功統一業權發展,結束歷時5年的強拍程序。

每呎樓面地價約9788

業發工業大廈1期位於觀塘開源道77號,現址1幢15層高工廈,早於1978年落成,至今約45年樓齡。該舊樓地盤面積約2萬方呎,土地用途為商貿地帶,以地積比約12倍重建發展,涉及可建總樓面約24萬方呎,若以強拍底價計算,每方呎樓面地價約9788元。

值得留意的是,楊建文或有關人士早於2017年12月透過強拍途徑以底價約16.216億、統一毗鄰開源道75號業發工業大廈2期,換言之兩個項目強拍總金額約39.706億;事實上,該兩幢工廈連同毗鄰的年運工業大廈已於去年獲城規會批准重建商廈。

已獲批重建商廈

據城規會文件顯示,項目地盤面積約5萬方呎,將重建為1幢樓高39層的商業大廈,其中地庫1樓至10樓屬零售餐飲用途,樓上則屬於辦公室用途,涉及總樓面約72萬方呎。

有代理指,經濟雖已復常,但發展商仍須觀望樓市情況,因此併購活動仍未全面復甦。

伯恩光學昨以底價投得觀塘業發工業大廈1期,料與毗鄰項目合併重建成商廈,總樓面約72萬方呎。

山頂馬己仙峽道屋地50億易手 持貨逾70年 「錫礦大王」陸佑家族沽貨

星島獨家本報獲悉,山頂超級豪宅地新錄大額成交,月前區內1幅貴重地皮罕有放售,令財團趨之若鶩,在兩地全面通關不足3個月,山頂隨即錄大手成交,由陸佑家族持有逾70年的山頂馬己仙峽道屋地,剛獲財團以50億購入,造價屬有史以來本港屋地第三高,平均樓面呎價逾10萬,業內人士稱,該項目極具重建價值,料重建成超級洋房。

本報地產組

市場消息透露,由馬來西亞「錫礦大王」陸佑家族持有馬己仙峽道30至38號豪宅,於今年2月委託測量師行進行放售,項目佔地面積約66650方呎,為山頂區珍罕的大型地皮,意向價50億至60億,隨即吸引多家財團洽商,最終在不足3個月內,已落實新買家,項目剛以50億易手,成為矚目的大手買賣。知情人士續說,該項交易以買賣公司形式易手,新買家得以節省釐印費,項目極具重建價值,重建總樓面約4.8萬方呎,以易手價計算,每呎樓面價約10.42萬。新買家看中該項目位處山項,私隱度極高,而且享維港全海景,極之吸引。

2月委測量師行進行放售

該項目造價亦屬有史以來屋地第三高,多年來,市場錄矚目的屋地成交,包括2018年,華潤置地向周壽臣家族後人購入壽山村道39號屋地,作價逾59億,至今仍是本港歷來最貴造價私人屋地,樓面呎價達8.6萬,則創南區內新高。

於2015年,「重慶李嘉誠」張松橋向何東後人購入山頂何東花園,作價51億,至今造價仍然是屋地第3高,佔地12.4萬呎的何東花園,重建樓面約6.2萬方呎,張松橋隨後將之重建2幢超級洋房,每幢約3萬方呎,每幢出售價逾30多億。業內人士預料,馬己仙峽道屋地很適合重建大型豪宅,因應超級富豪喜好,預期新買家極大機會將物業,重建為2幢超級洋房,每幢約2.4萬方呎,吸引超級富豪進駐,由於傳統地皮豪宅供不應求,多年來價格一直保持硬淨,近年來,山頂以至南區等傳統豪宅,新盤造價屢創新高,未受市況低沉所衝擊。

山頂何東花園作價51億矚目

市場人士指,陸佑家族持有物業逾70年,並曾於50年代將物業重建,及後大部分單位出租,據說,亦有家族成員曾在此居住,今番沽售料獲利可觀。

除了私人豪宅地皮外,政府賣地表曾有多幅港島區地皮以高價批出,最矚目為九龍倉於2020年12月豪擲120億投得山頂文輝道2、4、6及8號豪宅地,當時每方呎樓面地價約46272元,至於文輝道9及11號地皮,亦於2021年2月由九龍倉為首財團以72.5億奪標,以可建樓面約14.5萬方呎計,每呎地價50010元。

另外,港島大坑道135號地皮,由中信泰富於2019年12月以32億投得,當時每方呎樓面地價約24836元。

爪哇控股去年亦斥資11.881818億投得淺水灣南灣道豪宅地,當時每方呎樓面地價達62352元,呎價更打破全港賣地史紀錄,一舉登上呎價最貴地王寶座;其後該公司於同年底引入漢國置業共同發展。

陸佑家族持有的馬己仙峽道30至38號,現址為金馬倫大廈,由多幢低密度住宅組成。

工商舖疫後攻略 專家看好舖市

中港正式通關,經濟復常,商用物業需求上升。業界人士普遍認為,息口走勢成為投資市場關鍵,而加息預計放緩下,現時屬投資工商舖良好時機,並以商舖市場最值得睇好。

疫情持續3年,中港持續封關,嚴重衝擊商用物業需求。今年初,中港正式通關,2月更是全面通關,立即帶動投資氣氛。據一間本地代理行資料顯示,3月份整體註冊宗數最新報451宗,按月反彈約68.3%,註冊金額則錄58.33億元,按月上升約78.7%。當中工商舖各板塊註冊宗數全綫上升,商廈表現最好,註冊量按月升1.5倍至110宗,工廈表現亦相當不俗,最新錄240宗註冊,按月大升約84.6%。商舖板塊則表現平穩,3月錄得101宗登記,按月上升約7.4%。

首季工商舖914買賣 升18%

季度買賣上,另一本地代理行資料顯示,今年首季工商舖914宗買賣,較去年第四季的772宗,升約18%,涉及金額約217億元,較過往兩季為高,但整體來說仍屬偏低水平。

至於較大額的物業買賣市場上,有外資代理行資料統計,2023年第一季度商業地產投資額 (超過7,700萬成交) 按年下跌43%至76億元,為2020年第四季度以來數字最低的季度,全季只有兩宗逾10億元或以上買賣,當中商舖交易佔投資額一半以上,自2020年第四季度以來首次出現。

工商舖市場以投資者作主導,而去年起美國加息,即令工商舖投資減慢。美國聯儲局於今年第一季度再次加息50個基點,而香港主要銀行維持最佳貸款利率不變。1個月期香港銀行同業拆息 (HIBOR) 由2022年12月的4.4厘,下降至2023年3月的3.2厘,整體上仍遠較2021年為高,成為大額物業投資最大阻力。

投資市場 暫難V形反彈

後市方面,業界人士相信,高息環境仍會影響投資意慾。有代理認為,因處相對高息環境,投資工商舖回報率不足以抵銷利息開支,投資市場暫難出現V形反彈,但相信通關後,租務需求向上,帶動買賣市場。該代理指,商舖市場已率先反彈,現時買舖投資者憧憬資產價格上升,故此無懼息口。另一代理表示,美國整體通脹率回落的幅度緩慢,部分範疇的通脹率仍然居高不下,相信未來的高息環境會持續。大手物業成交將會保持淡靜,但對於一些資金充裕的投資者而言,對中低價物業感興趣,料中低價物業交投轉理想。

投資者方面,資本策略 (00497) 主席鍾楚義認為,息口偏高當然會影響工商舖投資,但由於現處加息周期尾聲,加上價格已調整,故屬入市好時機,並相信不論商舖及商廈,交投料同步向上。宏安地產 (01243) 行政總裁鄧灝康認為,寫字樓空置率高,相對壓力較大,比較看好商舖市場,最近有內地客入市購舖。大手市場上,他指加息後基金暫緩入市,料大額成交量會偏低。

奢侈品現擴充 旺區舖租可升約1成

通關後核心區商舖租務急增,空置率下降,業界人士相信,年內舖租可以回升。

有外資代理行最新發表的第一季香港零售租賃市場報告指出,核心區舖位租金自2019年第二季開始急跌,其後新冠疫情來襲,舖市進一步受挫,及至今年首季中港通關後,舖租才出現了4年以來的首次明顯回升。

受惠旅遊相關行業的租賃帶動,中環、尖沙咀及旺角的優質商舖租金按季升5%,而銅鑼灣則微升0.8%,以致本港整體優質街舖租金在本季增長為3.9%,是自2019年首季以來舖租首度回升。

該行指,首季4大核心商業街的空置率居高不下,廣東道有4成街舖仍然待租,羅素街和西洋菜南街的空置率分別為27%及23%;皇后大道中街舖的業主願意接受不同的新租戶進駐,例如藥房、中端時裝店和餅店等,空置率因而下降至20%。

Swatch Group 百萬租中環多層舖

首季租務上,奢侈品開始出現擴充,但個案不算多,不過Swatch Group以約100萬元,租用皇后大道中豐樂行多層舖位。至於六福珠寶亦以約60萬元,租用羅素街8號地下舖位。

後市上,該行預料,因整體市況受利好因素帶動,核心區街舖租金有8%至12%的上調幅度。

跨國企業仍審慎 中資成甲廈動力

甲廈空置樓面仍處高位,業界人士認為,由於環球經濟隱憂等因素,跨國企業仍相對審慎,預計市況走勢關鍵之一是中資動力。

據一間外資代理行數據,寫字樓租賃情緒在2023年第一季度有所改善,總租賃量較上一季的低基數按季增加42%,至110萬平方呎。然而,租賃活動主要由一些大型企業的搬遷所主導,實際新需求租務不算多。

淨吸納量連續第三個季度保持正增長,達到15.9萬平方呎,當中大部分來自九龍。而港島區的淨吸納量為負數,企業為了追求高質素的寫字樓,搬至非核心區。空置率自2018年第四季度以來首次下跌0.2個百分點至15.1%,而總空置面積為1,290萬平方呎,仍處相對高水平。

外資代理行:租金料仍輕微下跌

該行代理指出,今年首季出現正吸納量,主因新供應尚未計算在內,而今季新供應樓面約260萬平方呎,數字絕對不低。

該代理又指,通關後整體商業氣氛提升,惟中資成交僅涉約7萬平方呎,相信下半年情況會加快。代理分析,在高息環境下,營商環境受到一定挑戰,而近期歐美出現銀行倒閉及危機,或多或少影響擴充意慾,故下半年甲廈市況,很大程度上視乎中資動力,若中資擴充積極,可帶動租金回穩。

後市預測上,該代理料今年因有大型項目落成,空置率料進一步上升至逾16%,租金料仍輕微下跌。

新落成甲廈成焦點 吸商戶預租

甲廈租金仍向下,而今年多個新項目甲廈落成,質素理想兼租金有調整,吸引不少商戶預租,成近月焦點。

據一間外資代理行每月商廈租金走勢顯示,2月全本港整體甲廈租金普遍輕微下跌,如中環整體商廈呎租為104.2元,按月跌1.1%,而邊綫區如上環、灣仔等,跌幅不足1%。

中環 The Henderson 錄3宗預租

租務焦點落在核心區全新項目預租上,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,是次搬遷可把部門整合,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。

另外,銅鑼灣利園一期寫字樓錄租務成交,涉及物業高層兩層,面積約3萬平方呎,以每呎逾50元租出。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。

金融科企 租觀塘 The Millennity

九龍區方面,租務焦點亦在全新項目,觀塘巧明街 The Millennity 今年落成,項目2座28樓全層,面積約1.26萬平方呎,以每平方呎約28元租出。據了解,新租客為金融科技公司Doo Group。該集團於2014年成立,總部設於新加坡,是一家以金融科技為核心的金融服務集團,提供證券、基金等金融產品,以及貨幣兌換等業務。該公司原租用九龍灣億京中心單位,是次租 The Millennity 既可擴充業務,亦可升級至全新甲廈。The Millennity 首季入伙,上月開始有租客遷入,大廈近期租務亦加快,如1座20及21樓全層,每層面積約1.9萬平方呎,合共約3.8萬平方呎,成交呎租約28元,新租客為一家本地設計公司。

另觀塘偉業街宏利金融中心亦錄全層租務,涉12樓,面積約3萬平方呎,以每平方呎約23元租出。據悉,新租客為網購公司STRAWBERRYNET,主要售賣美粧產品如香水、化粧品等,該公司原租用工廈物業,現轉租全層甲廈,屬擴充及升級。

該行指,隨着整體市場氣氛改善以及經濟活動復甦,香港寫字樓市場在2月份的表現更趨活躍。寫字樓租金下降,租戶追求優質寫字樓空間的趨勢持續,租賃市場轉趨樂觀。來自多個行業的企業,利用租戶主導市場的優勢,去整合和提升寫字樓空間,料今年情況持續。

長江集團中心二期 今年落成

今年甲廈供應仍然充足,除中區兩幢甲廈成焦點外,非核心區如觀塘、黃竹坑等,均有全新甲廈。

中環為長期供應有限的商業區,而今年卻出現兩幢全新項目,除了恒地 (00012)  The Henderson 外,長實 (01113) 旗下和記大廈重建項目,長江集團中心二期亦於今年落成。項目樓高41層,總建築面積達55萬平方呎,標準辦公室樓層建築面積約17,300平方呎。據悉,樓層採用方正及無中柱式設計,並採取雙電梯大堂設計,項目分為東、西兩座,方便租戶進出夏愨道和琳寶徑,並提供185個車位。除全層租戶外,每層東、西座的租戶分別可擁有企業專屬樓層式地址、專屬私人電梯大堂及獨立出入口。

觀塘敬業街41 擬短期推

非核心區方面,偉華置業亦將有兩項目推出,其中黃竹坑Viva Place,今年尾落成,現進行招租,意向呎租約30元起。項目位於香業道及黃竹坑道,樓高27層,總樓面約30萬平方呎,每層面積約10,749至11,963平方呎。該廈由偉華置業發展,早年收購項目前身為信誠工業大廈,並以10.08億元完成補地價。另外,集團亦將觀塘敬業街41號雲訊廣場,屬拆售項目,提供29層寫字樓,每層面積約1.5萬平方呎,最細單位約1,800平方呎起。項目已取得入伙紙,料在短期內推出。

$5b sale lifts luxury market


Hong Kong's luxury market continued to pick up with WH Group (0288) chairman buying a home at The Cullinan for HK$140 million and a site on Magazine Gap Road in the Mid Levels selling for HK$5 billion or over HK$100,000 per square foot.

The four-bedroom flat at The Cullinan-Diamond Sky was bought by the billionaire chairman Wan Long at HK$90,188 per sq ft.

Meanwhile, the sale of No 30-38 Magazine Gap Road was the third-highest price ever recorded in the city for a residential site. It was held by the family of the late Chinese-born Malaysian tin mining magnate Loke Yew for over 70 years.

It is expected that the site will be redeveloped into super luxury mansions.

A property agency reported that urban luxury home rents have increased in the first quarter due to rebounding demand following the reopening of the border. Specifically, luxury residential rents on Hong Kong Island, which had declined by about 3.1 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, rose by about 0.4 percent in the last quarter.

In the primary market, The Knightsbridge in Kai Tak, developed by six builders, opens show flats today and will offer at least 114 homes by tender in the first batch as early as the end of this month.

And Vanke Hong Kong's VAU Residence in Ho Man Tin has released its fifth price list yesterday to offer 17 flats, with the cheapest of HK$6.75 million after discounts.

Elsewhere, Country Garden (2007) said its Allegro in Kowloon City has sold 47 of the 190 flats for about HK$390 million.

商廈註冊宗數 按月升1.5倍

有本地代理行發表的商廈市場報告指出,3月份商廈租售價個別發展,其中分散業權甲廈售價及租金上升,兩者分別按月升0.5%及2.3%;而分散業權乙廈售價及租金分別按月跌0.9%及升0.1%。

該行代理表示,近來商廈市場交投更暢旺,其中50大甲廈成交錄13宗,創18個月以來新高。億元成交方面,上月最矚目的買賣成交包括以約2.4億元出售的長沙灣南商金融創新中心一批高層單位,總樓面約1.5萬平方呎,平均呎價接近1.6萬元,及以約1.1億元成交的九龍灣恩浩國際中心,成交呎價近1萬元。

值得留意的是,目前傳統核心商業區的買賣成交叫價更高,例如金鐘遠東金融中心美國銀行中心分別錄呎價逾3萬元的成交,較同區的平均呎價高3至5成。

上月整體商廈註冊宗數呈現明顯升幅,最新數字報110宗,按月飈升約1.5倍。租務成交量維持升勢,按月升45.7%至593宗,反映個別企業重拾擴充或搬遷意慾,有質素的甲廈承接力強。中環商廈 The Henderson 錄得大手租務,加拿大退休金計劃投資局 (CPPIB) 承租2層樓面,涉及面積約2.8萬平方呎,市場消息料呎租約130元。

全港空置率10.3%

該報告指出,上月全港整體甲廈空置率為10.3%,中區、灣仔及銅鑼灣、尖沙咀的空置率分別為8.6%、7.1%及8.4%,出現略為下跌的迹象,而九龍東的空置率維持高企,達17.3%。

目前市場信心已逐漸恢復,預測下季商廈成交量會繼續維持升勢,而由於高息環境料持續,相信中細價單位以及分層商廈更受投資者追捧,主導市場。

息口高企 首季大手買賣跌

通關後投資氣氛轉好,惟息口仍處高位,令首季大手買賣明顯下跌,料下半年交投回升。

有外資代理行指,利率上升抵銷了通關的影響,大多數買家在2023年第1季仍然保持謹慎。大手買賣市場上,首季僅錄得15宗交易,總值約91億元,按年下跌16%,按季下跌15%,其中減價出售和高回報率物業仍然最受追捧。隨着內地遊客重臨,零售物業在2023年第1季成為焦點。盡管大多數交易都低於2億元,且由個人投資者主導。

荃灣協和廣場5層 10億沽

大手買賣上,包括新世界 (00017) 以約17億元,沽出觀塘鴻圖道活化商廈,以物業總樓面約21.9萬平方呎計算,呎價約7,766元。若以項目早前獲准重建成商廈,總樓面28.8萬平方呎計算,即每呎地價降低至5,900元水平。此外,亞證地產以項目的債權人身份購入荃灣協和廣場商場,作價約10億元。物業現為5層高的購物商場,建築面積合共約163,538平方呎。

7700萬以上成交 按季跌4

另一代理數據指,2023年第1季商業地產投資額 (交易金額超過7,700萬元,不包括純土地或相關交易) 按年下跌43%至約76億元,為2020年第4季以來數字最低的季度。首季只有2宗交易成交額達10億元或以上。零售物業交易佔上季投資額一半以上,自2020年第4季以來首次出現。

後市上,有代理指,買家和業主間的價格期望差距擴大,在過去幾個季度受到基金投資者追捧的工業物業仍然相對沉寂。投資者熱衷於尋找低價資產,以彌補額外利息支出。只有零售部門價格按季增長2.9%,而甲級寫字樓和普通工業價格輕微下跌。該代理指,由於歐美銀行危機逐漸穩定以及利率快將見頂,投資市場將在第2季會變得活躍。零售 (特別是價值在2億元內) 和私人住宅用地將吸引投資者目光。

另一代理表示,整體而言,銀行在2023年第1季對貸款持謹慎態度。信貸收緊及負資產阻礙了投資者作出投資決定。盡管首季初期商業及市場情緒有所改善,但受高利率、金融市場動盪帶來的不確定性以及信貸收緊所影響,基金投資者變得謹慎。後市上,該代理認為入境旅客量回升及本港消費力將繼續改善零售和酒店物業的前景,隨着中國大陸投資者及海外人士需求的恢復,豪華住宅單位及獨立屋的需求也將增強。

工廈成交按月急增85% 代理行:頻錄收購重建

有本地代理行最新發表的工廈報告指,3月份工廈成交錄逾240宗,按月升近85%,租務錄接近740宗,連續2個月出現上升,升幅超過30%。

總結今年首季,工廈註冊量及金額共錄近500宗及35.9億,按季分別升30.1%及下跌14.6%。近期財團申請重建工廈情況持續,加上迷你倉集團表明有意入市,相信可為帶來利好因素。

註冊宗數按月升近85%

該行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示,註冊宗數明顯上升,3月份工廈錄逾240宗,按月升近85%,金額錄18.88億,按月增155.4%,其中,柴灣區平均呎價按月升幅最高,最新分別報4917元,升幅達1.4%。至於跌幅最大為觀塘區,最新報6168元,按月跌1.4%。新式工廈例如黃竹坑道23號工廈交投不俗。

租務成交聚焦在貨倉

分區呎租方面,升幅最大的分區為荃灣,3月呎租報15.1元,按月上升3.6%。紅磡 (土瓜灣) 最新平均呎租15.4元,按月跌2.8%,為跌幅最大一區。

上月較為矚目租務集中在貨倉,成交包括有葵涌安全貨倉低層全層,以月租約50萬租出,面積達41897方呎,呎租約為12元。柴灣華潤柴灣貨倉低層全層,亦以月租約47萬元租出,涉及面積達41,572平方呎,呎租約為11元。

銅鑼灣羅素街鋪每月80萬租出 藥妝店進駐 租金重返疫市前

兩地通關以來,藥妝店頻在核心區落位,成為推動核心區鋪市的「火車頭」,最新更搶租銅鑼灣羅素街一個單邊鋪,以每月80萬承租,平均呎租568元,租金不但重返疫市前,更重返2019年社會尚未發生動亂之前的水平,可見羅素街受捧,鋪租反彈力迅速。

上址為羅素街59號地下B1至B3號鋪,位處波斯富街交界,屬街道罕有單邊鋪,建築面積約1408方呎,現時由專賣食品「樓上有限公司」短租。

市場消息透露,該地鋪獲長租客搶租,最終一家藥妝店勝出,以每月80萬承租,對上長租客首飾店Swarovski於2019年3月以80萬續租,意味着最新租金不但重返疫市前,更重返2019年「太平盛世」時期。

平均呎租568

該鋪以每月80萬租出,亦是今年以來藥妝店租鋪第二大金額,最高金額為松本清向恒隆承租雅蘭中心巨鋪,月租高達150萬,雖然此羅素街鋪王租金重返2019年中前的水平,不過較高峰期珠寶店月租高見250萬,最新租金仍較高位回落68%。

較高峰期回落68%

該鋪位早年一直由英皇鐘錶珠寶承租,直至2015年撤走,Swarovski於2015年11月以每月150萬進駐,及至2022年3月撤出後,鋪位空置2個月,由「樓上有限公司」於去年5月進駐,月租18萬,現時即將結束「長達一年」短租,於5月中撤出。

上述鋪位位處羅素街當眼位置,對面則為一隻閃爍的「鋪王」,羅素街60號 (波斯富街76號) 地鋪,建築面積600方呎 (實用350方呎),位處波斯富街單邊,英皇集團於2011年1月以「天價」3.8億承接,實用呎價高達108萬,震驚市場。

羅素街一個單邊鋪,結束食品店一年的「短租」,由藥妝店進駐,月租80萬。

Secondary market sales dive to nine-month low


Secondary home sales at the ten major housing estates slumped to a nine-month low over the weekend amid the booming primary market, according to data from a property agency.

Only three deals were recorded at two of the blue-chip estates - down 72.7 percent from last week's 11 deals.

Two transactions were at Taikoo Shing, Quarry Bay, which broke the zero-deal record of the previous weekend. The latest transaction was a two-bedroom flat sold at HK$11.95 million, with a book gain of HK$4.52 million as it jumped 61 percent from the original price of HK$7.43 million 12 years ago. The owner had cut the price by HK$550,000 before successfully selling the 592-square-foot flat.

Kingswood Villas in Tin Shui Wai recorded the other deal - a high-level two-bedroom 442-sq-ft flat - at HK$5 million. The apartment has appreciated in value over 1.2 times, translating into a gain of HK$2.8 million for the owner who bought the home for HK$2.2 million in 2012.

A property agent explained that the new private homes have stolen the spotlight in the property market and not many affordable secondary listings are left for potential buyers. The agent believed the secondary market will continue to be overshadowed by the buoyant primary market in this quarter.

Meanwhile, in the primary market, The Grand Victoria II at the waterfront of Cheung Sha Wan recorded at least four transactions, cashing in over HK$59 million during the weekend.

The four flats sold in the new residence, co-developed by Sino Land (0083), Wheelock Properties, K Wah International (0173), Shimao Property (0813) and SEA Holdings (0251), were sold at between HK$12.9 million to HK$18.5 million. The sizes of the units range from 490 sq ft to 790 sq ft and are priced around HK$23,400 to HK$28,700 per sq ft.

In Lam Tin, Wheelock Properties's Koko Mare sold 60 units on Saturday in the first day of its second round sale of 98 units. The developer said it expects to put more batches on the market - primarily units with a sea view - with increased prices of about 10 percent within this month.

Property agenct points to recovery in shops

The number of new shop registrations rose 7.4 percent month-on-month to 101 in March, with the total value going up 6.2 percent to HK$2 billion, according to a property agency.

Among them are a bundle of multiple shops at Mongkok Commercial Centre and a shopping mall at COO Residence, which were sold for HK$350 million and HK$440 million, respectively.

Only shops with a value under HK$5 million or between HK$10 million and HK$20 million recorded an increase in registrations in March, the former being up by 27.5 percent month-on-month to 51 cases and the latter up by 28.6 percent to 18 cases.

Meanwhile, a total of 279 street shops were registered in the first quarter, up by 9.8 percent from the previous three months and their value going up by 45 percent to HK$5.17 billion, the agency said.

The number of mainland visitors to Hong Kong is expected to rebound to 2 million a month in the coming months from just 1.1 million in February, to render a boost to the market sentiment, an agent said.

The agent projected the monthly shop registration number to hover between 100 and 120 cases in the short term and it will be crucial to monitor the data during the Labor Day Golden Week. If the growth in visitor arrivals and retail sales exceeds market expectation, more investors will be attracted to the market and further stimulate the transaction numbers, the agent added.

Singapore’s rent to soar faster than Hong Kong, offering expatriates and tenants little respite, analysts say

Hong Kong rents likely to rise by up to 5 per cent this year, while the pace of increase in Singapore may decelerate to 10 per cent from last year’s 30 per cent, analysts say

There are signs of improvement in Hong Kong’s leasing market, with demand for premium homes picking up on The Peak and Mid-Levels

Expatriates in Hong Kong and Singapore can expect higher rents this year, but the size of increase in both markets is likely to vary vastly as they will be impacted by different factors, according to market observers.

Analysts predict a rise of as much as 10 per cent this year in Singapore, a sharp slowdown from the 30 per cent surge seen in 2022, while rents in Hong Kong could increase by up to 5 per cent, aided by the launch of the Top Talent Pass Scheme, return of non-local students and inflow of expatriates.

In Hong Kong, “home rents are forecast to rise by 2.5 per cent in the second quarter and 5 per cent overall in 2023 with the full reopening of borders and scrapping of all Covid curbs”, an agent said.

With the residential sales market picking up, landlords are putting up their properties for sale rather than leasing them out, reducing rental supply and flexibility in negotiations, the agent added.

The premium rental market has picked up pace, particularly for quality flats and town houses on The Peak and in Mid-Levels, the agent said. “International schools were seeing waiting lists again, with places taken up mostly by locals and mainlanders, which we haven’t seen in the past few years.”

The outlook for the city’s economy is rosy, with the government forecasting growth of 3.5 to 5.5 per cent this year after gross domestic product contracted by 3.5 per cent last year. Economic data is encouraging. For example, the latest unemployment rate has fallen to a three-year low of 3.3 per cent for the December to February period.

In the first quarter, rents increased 1 per cent for the first time since 2018, another agent said. The leasing market will reach its peak season in the second and third quarters, with the average rent expected to increase 3 per cent to 5 per cent, the agent added.

“Mainland students coming back to Hong Kong will be another supporting factor,” the agent said, adding the Top Talent Pass Scheme “will also help support the rental market”.

While government data showed private residential rents fell 3.7 per cent year on year in the fourth quarter, another agency noted the worst was behind us as rents increased by 0.98 per cent month on month in February, citing government data.

Although Hong Kong homeowners were generally firm with their asking prices and fewer discounts were offered to tenants, units in the HK$100,000 (US$12,740) to HK$200,000 per month range were rented out quickly, agent said.

Some recent notable luxury leasing transactions include a house at Overbays in Repulse Bay, which was leased for HK$370,000 per month or HK$88 per square foot, while a 2,560 sq ft house at 12 Shouson Hill Road was rented for HK$158,000 per month, Li said.

In the mass market segment, a studio at Manor Hill in Tseung Kwan O last week fetched a record rent per square foot at the estate, agent said.

The 203 sq ft studio flat was leased out for HK$11,800 per month, or HK$58 per square foot, he said, adding there were no more listings for such units there.

Another agent is more cautious that it was expected the return of expatriates to be slow at first as multinational companies need to plan carefully to arrange the relocation of employees.

“Overseas employees who migrated from Hong Kong to Singapore and Dubai a year ago … even if they want to return to Hong Kong, I believe they can only make a decision at the end of 2023 or 2024,” the agent said.

While 2022 was a bad year for luxury rentals, this year will see a moderate recovery, with demand coming from those accepted under the city’s top talent scheme, the agent said.

In Singapore, a slowing economy and handover of new projects is likely to slow down the runaway increase in rents seen last year. Rents climbed 29.7 per cent at the end of last year, according to the city’s Urban Redevelopment Authority.

The city state’s GDP is expected to grow 0.5 to 2.5 per cent this year, down from 3.6 per cent in 2022, according to a government forecast in February.

While rental volume shrank in January and February, demand pressure remained bullish resulting in rents increasing between 9 and 12 per cent quarter on quarter across the different segments, the agent said.

“Foreign professionals and senior executives continued to relocate to Singapore as globally mobile corporates remain drawn to the country for headquarter functions,” the said. “These individuals and their families continue to drive strong demand especially for newer projects that offer family-friendly facilities, as well as larger non-landed homes in prime areas.”

However, with more homeowners expected to receive the keys to their new property throughout the year, rental demand would ease, and overall rental growth is expected to stabilise and be milder than in 2022, the agent said.

“For the whole of 2023, we are still expecting more like 8 to 10 per cent [growth] for rents in Singapore.”

寫字樓租金回落助提升競爭力

隨着香港與內地先後撤銷防疫措施,與各地恢復通關,各類商業活動開始復常,估計不少之前因疫情等因素而暫時撤離的外來公司,將陸續回流香港。但有調查報告指出,截至上月香港的寫字樓空置率整體為14%,當中中環核心商業區仍約有1成樓面空置,而被形容為寫字樓供應「重貨區」的九龍東,空置率更達2成以上。

空置率高自然對租金構成壓力,有業內人士指出,香港的甲級寫字樓租金較疫情前的高峰期回落了2至3成,即使相信現已捱過谷底,但由於未來幾年持續有新供應,估計上升幅度亦相當有限。加上早前有多幅大型商業地皮出現「流標」或中標價低於市場預期,導致有市場人士要求政府減慢部分地區的商業用地供應,以至質疑在中部水域人工島發展另一個核心商業區的需要性。

先談空置率,有熟悉海外租務市場的業界人士指出,由於招租及翻新裝修需時,外國一級國際城市的寫字樓空置率一般都介乎5至15%,香港現時的14%仍屬可接受水平,反而是過去一段時間,當供應極度緊張、需求持續高企、令租金大幅飆升時的2至3%空置率並非正常。

整體空置率達14%

租金水平方面,不同機構的調查都顯示,即使經歷了長達3年的黑暴及疫情打擊,香港的甲級寫字樓租金仍處於全球最高的頭三位,與紐約和東京一直「叮噹馬頭」,與區內競爭對手新加坡仍高出超過1倍,不論以甚麼標準來衡量都不屬偏低。

下一個問題是,特區政府作為最大的土地供應者及租戶,是否有責任維持香港的寫字樓租金處於高水平呢?相信絕大部分市民及企業的答案都是否定的。

記得90年代初,香港首次有寫字樓呎租突破100元大關時,不少專家學者已質疑寫字樓租金高昂,供不應求,將削弱香港的整體競爭力,以及對外資公司進駐的吸引力。疫情爆發前,部分中環甲級寫字樓租金升至接近200元一呎,即使現已回落了不少,對香港競爭力和吸引力的影響是正面還是負面呢?

事實上,許多本地中小微企經常埋怨香港生意難做,營運成本高企,當中租金往往都是第一位的開支。一些外國、跨國公司即使看好大中華市場及喜歡香港的制度,但仍不願在香港開設較大的實體辦公室,寧願將區域總部或後勤部門設於其他地區,原因往往也是在香港找不到合適、夠大,而租金和營運成本為可接受的地方。

對於有指「在家工作」與「共享辦公空間」常態化,會長遠減少對辦公樓面的需求。其實有部分僱主正是為了減輕租金負擔,才逼於無奈實施有關安排。再者,「共享辦公」不一定等於整體空間減少,而是可以共享更大、更舒適的辦公地方。只有供應充足和租金合理,企業才能提供較寬敞的員工用膳和休息空間、會客室、廁所、以至母乳餵哺室等員工友善設施。

應確保供應充足穩定

故此,要維持香港背靠祖國、聯通世界的獨特地位和優勢,要做到「七一講話」中的「不斷增強發展動能」,政府除了要致力增加房屋用地和單位供應,讓市民都有機會「住大啲、住好啲、住平啲」,在規劃商業用地及辦公室樓面方面,也須確保市場有充足和穩定的供應,讓不同行業、規模與檔次的企業,都可在合理的租金水平範圍內,找到合適的經營和辦公地方。

此外,當整體經濟或相關的行業、企業前景向好,市場亦應有空間讓企業擴充業務和增聘人手,以至鼓勵新的參與者進場,這樣才能推動經濟不斷增長,促進企業做大做強。更積極的做法,是主動運用土地規劃和配置,來推動不同產業的發展,而不是等個別產業發展到地方不敷應用,租金升至難以負擔,政府才被動式、「補鑊式」地急忙增加有關土地供應。

因此,商業用地及其他用途土地的供應,均需要有適量的儲備。正如筆者多次批評政府的《十年長策》推算方法,只計單位數目,而不理人均居住面積及住屋開支比例,最終導致港人愈住愈細和愈住愈貴,居住環境與生活質素不升反跌。

誠然,政府在規劃和發展商業用地時,也應預留一定彈性,避免將具體用途和發展密度等定得太死。例如在大規模的新發展區及填海造地計畫中引入「白地/White Land」規劃概念,等到時機成熟,看清楚最新的市場需求後,才決定有關用地的最終發展用途,省卻中途改劃所需的時間、資源和可能引起的爭議。

整體商廈租金年內料升3% 代理:「升級搬遷」帶動

兩地通關後,商廈睇樓增加,有外資代理行代理表示,市場仍以「升級搬遷」較活躍,然而,租戶要求平租,由於經濟未回復正軌,租金暫缺乏動力,難返疫市前水平,料年內整體租金升3%。

近年,內地客不乏大手承租超級甲廈,雖然每次都很矚目,然而,該代理表示,中資公司佔整體租賃市場份額只有約10%,外資公司比例仍高達40%,具較大影響力。

近期租客仍強調平租

過去2年來,中環、鰂魚涌及觀塘,租客紛遷至更優質甲廈「升級搬遷」,不一定擴張,縮細面積佔整體約30%,代理續說,最新的「升級搬遷」,已不再要求縮小面積,但強調平租,租金缺乏上升動力。

去年聖誕節至今睇樓暢旺,整體市場氣氛改善,不過,租客還未積極落實租賃,經濟需時恢復,預期第3季才進入「轉角位」,市況有起色,第4季向上,預期今年全年租金可錄得3%升幅。

料第3季進入「轉角位」

近期,有內地商務交流團來港考察,亦有科技公司捨數碼港及科技園,打算在核心區落位,共用工作間開始活躍,不過,仍然需要時間真正落實租賃。

上月寫字樓整體空置率錄約14.7%,並非歷史新高,對上高位為2004年,當年東九龍30%,現時20%,由於過去3年大部分時間負吸納,租客續租時往往騰空一些位置,業主態度軟化,疫市以來,租金已累跌逾20%。

該代理較看好尖沙嘴區,區內聚集保險及內地關聯公司,疫市以來,經濟活動幾乎停頓,通關後追落後,近期,有2家保險公司分別在港威大廈承租據點,每個數千呎,開設財富管理中心,吸納內地客。一般來說,高空置意味要減租,不過,最高空置率如九龍灣,租金普遍未見大減,反而部分錄高價承租,亦可見區內租金見底。

投資物業交投回升 商舖最看好

代理:旅客重返 舖租看升8至12%

去年投資市場受疫情及高息衝擊影響,大手買賣偏少。有外資代理行代理認為,預期加息近尾聲,而中港通關有利經濟發展,看好今年投資物業交投回升,並以商舖最值得看好。

據該行統計,2021年商用物業投資金額涉及約850億元,去年則跌至約450億元。代理指,去年加息後,影響整體投資氣氣,不過該代理相信,息口料近見頂,「最高峰時HIBOR加至約5厘,令不少工商舖投資者在買物業前卻步。近一個月HIBOR已回落至約2.8厘。走勢上,以前年期愈長利息愈高,現在反而長息較低,大家預計利息或9個月至1年後向下,投資市場可望在息口見頂後回落而轉活躍。」

地區商場收入穩 同樣吸引

另一較為推動市場,正是中港重新通關,該代理指近期旅客逐步重返,但仍未屬最佳情況,「復活節並非內地假期,相信五一黃金周是訪港高峰,可以預期周圍有遊客。此外展覽會、大型會議在通關後漸活躍,很多商家希望搵生意,所以今年整體香港經濟值得睇好。」

通關後以商舖市場率先反彈,核心區錄大手舖位成交,而租務亦活躍,帶動租金回升。據該行數字,今年首季零售市場租金終見明顯回升,大部分主要零售區的優質街舖租金及主要商場租金均按季上升3.9%至5%,是自2019年首季以來舖租首度回升。代理指,因旅客開始重返,預計街舖租金有8%至12%上升,「但同時亦要留意,旅客消費似乎亦有轉變,以買錶為例,可能轉至中下價。」舖市交投亦轉旺,該代理不擔心回報率影響舖位交投,「現時買舖約3厘,整體高於借貸成本,但其實舖市暢旺時,買舖低見1至2厘回報,為何仍有大量成交,反映大家睇好舖市前景。」

代理分析,不只核心區舖位值得投資,地區商場收入穩定,同樣吸引投資者,「現時不少行業也難請人,基層人士收入亦有上升,地區消費更加穩定,故投資地區商場亦是理想之選。」此外,旅遊業重新興旺,可帶動酒店重獲留意,而在疫情期間,有4,000房已轉作共居等用途,未來3至4年新增約2,500房,需求上升而供應不多,亦值得留意。

至於商廈方面,空置率達13.3%,以實用面積計,近千萬平方呎待租。未來4年再多700多萬平方呎新供應,按平均每年吸納約130萬平方呎計,都要超過十年時間吸納商廈。無疑數字上並不理想,代理認為,不能單看空置率判斷後市,「歷史上,商廈空置率不會零,其實內地市場理想時,空置率也不低。

中港融合 利優質甲廈吸納

除了看供應,亦要看需求,而需求是不可預計,隨中港融合,內地公司會在港開業。」該代理特別提到家族辦公室,「香港政策全面配合,發展全球家族辦公室業務,內地富豪甚多,相信有利香港資產管理公司將會擴充,故對優質甲廈吸納亦有幫助。」代理指出,現時即使整體空置率高,超甲廈業主仍不願減租,可見優質樓面需求仍強。

工廈買賣去年暢旺,該代理料今年形勢有所轉變,因去年買家以外資基金為主,本身工廈回報率多在4厘,加息後入市興趣降低。代理預計,迷你倉及物流中心需求仍高,倉庫空置率僅約3%,料在工業範疇中表現較好。

波鞋街舖疫後最貴月租78萬

體品公司重新進駐 打造2500呎分店

 香港與內地全面通關,有望帶動本地零售業起死回生,連有「波鞋街」之稱的旺角花園街地舖租賃亦見起色。位於花園街及奶路臣街交界的單邊地舖,由體育用品公司允記「重新落戶」,以每月78萬元承租,成為疫情以來逾3年「波鞋街」最大額地舖租賃成交。

上述舖位為旺角花園街71至73號地下A至C舖,建築面積約2500方呎,屬花園街及奶路臣街大單邊靚舖,舖位在去年初丟空,一直以每月90萬元放租。據了解,第五波疫情去年中爆發後,曾有租戶出價30萬元洽租,惟遭業主拒絕。

為期3 每呎312

而在去年底,亦有商戶希望以60萬元租用舖位,亦因出價未符業主意向而拉倒。直到今年疫情緩和,加上本港全面通關,零售商戶租舖步伐加快,據消息透露,允記斥資每月78萬元租用上址3年,呎租約312元。

翻查資料,允記曾租用花園街及奶路臣街交界單邊的花園街71至73號地下A及B舖超過10年,而完全面向奶路臣街的地下C舖則由另一體育用品公司租用,估計A至C舖位在高峰期月租可高逾100萬元,但兩間體育用品公司雙雙在去年初約滿撤出。事隔超過一年後,經濟及旅遊復常,允記便重新進駐上址,並且增租毗鄰一個舖位,打造成建築面積約2500方呎新分店,而最新月租78萬元,以金額計更成為2020年至今「波鞋街」最高的一宗租賃成交。

同區舖續約 加租五成

同一時間,允記最新亦續租同區花園街45至47號仁康大廈地下B舖連閣樓,地下建築面積約1000方呎,閣樓建築面積約800方呎,合共建築面積約1800方呎,最新月租30萬元,呎租約167元,租期2年,其後可加租15%續租多2年。

據資料顯示,允記原持有及自用該舖,但在2010年以1.8億元售出,之後仍一直租用。在疫情爆發前,月租一度高達54萬元,呎租約300元,有指在過去兩年,獲減租至20萬元,呎租跌至約111元。如今在市面逐漸復常後,允記接受加租10萬元或五成續租,相信是看好後市。

此外,區內花園街89號地下,建築面積約900方呎,自2021年底起丟空,並一直以每月11萬元放租,據悉在通關後租出,月租8萬元,呎租約89元。

根據一間外資代理行資料顯示,今年第一季商舖空置率按季回落,租金跌勢結束。四大核心零售區中,以旺角的空置率按季下降1.8個百分點至10.9%,表現最佳;中環空置率跌1.4個百分點至9.9%,尖沙咀減少1.2個百分點至15.5%,而銅鑼灣則維持在7.9%。

租金方面,旺角首季租金較去年第四季回升2.8%,該行估計該區上半年有4%至6%的租金漲幅。

余文樂2070萬沽觀塘商廈 中海日升中心 8年蝕63萬

商廈空置率高企,價值下跌,就算早年入市的物業近期沽貨亦須蝕讓。藝人余文樂接近8年前購入的觀塘中海日升中心寫字樓單位,以2070萬元沽貨,賬面仍要損手近63萬元離場。

仍持有該項目兩車位

據了解,原由余文樂持有的中海日升中心27樓G室,建築面積1715方呎,近期以2070萬元售出,呎價約12070元。資料顯示,余文樂於2015年6月,透過公司名義斥資約2132.75萬元購入上址,持貨接近8年,賬面虧蝕約62.75萬元,單位跌價2.9%。

據悉,余文樂當年除買入寫字樓單位外,亦以350萬元購入該廈5樓兩個車位,每個作價175萬元,但車位至今仍未沽出。

是次成交為中海日升中心今年的首宗買賣,而去年該廈亦只錄得1宗一手成交,一個高層建築面積1590方呎單位,以2385萬元售出,呎價約15000元。

羅守輝售新蒲崗舖蝕1120

資深投資者、裕泰興家族成員羅守輝及有關人士再度蝕讓出貨,剛以3380萬元售出新蒲崗爵祿街舖位,持貨6年賬面損手1120萬元或24.9%離場。

資料顯示,新蒲崗爵祿街98號爵祿居地下C舖及1樓,地下建築面積約620方呎,1樓建築面積約2442方呎,合共建築面積約3062方呎,原以5800萬元放售,經議價後以3380萬元出售,大幅減價2420萬元或41.7%,呎價約1.1萬元。

現時地舖由銀行租用作自動櫃員機,1樓則為餐廳,月租共10.2萬元,買家可享3.6厘租金回報。羅守輝及有關人士於20178月斥資4500萬元入市,賬面勁蝕1120萬元,貶值24.9%

美國銀行中心轉手 每呎3.16

商廈方面,中環美國銀行中心 35樓3室,建築面積約1517方呎,以4800萬元成交,呎價約3.16萬元。單位在上月才以每月5.8萬元租出,以最新成交價計,回報不足1.5厘。

單位原業主在2005年斥資1259.1萬元購入,持貨18年,賬面大幅獲利3540.9萬元,期內物業升值2.8倍。

12 more special flats at Kai Tak go on sale


Upper Riverbank in Kai Tak, which is co-developed by Longfor Group (0960), put another 12 special units on the market via tender yesterday.

The size of the flats range between 1,087 and 2,040 square feet and include four luxury penthouses from the 15 special units in the residence. The developer took reference to the previous tender and set the indicative price to be over HK$36,000 per square foot.

The project has sold 617 units or 90 percent of its homes so far, cashing in over HK$12.4 billion, including revenue from the shopping mall and parking lots, at an average price of HK$28,000 per sq ft.

In Ho Man Tin, phase IA of In One will be launched in the next quarter at the earliest, according to the developer Chinachem. It expects the local home prices to rise between 8 and 10 percent this year as the market has started to pick up.

Meanwhile, an ultra-luxury apartment at Mount Nicholson on The Peak - one of the most expensive residences in Asia - was sold for HK$577 million, or HK$82,000 per sq ft, a record high in the primary market this year.

In Kowloon Tong, a site together with the existing two-story house on Cambridge Road has been put up for sale with an indicative price of HK$398 million, with the owner putting it on the market after holding it for almost 70 years.

The site area is 5,485 sq ft, and the house built in 1954 has a total gross area of about 9,873 sq ft. It is being sold via tender either on an 'as-is' basis with existing tenancy, or possibility of vacant possession upon application.

Hong Kong pension regulator MPFA moving to a smaller office at The Millennity in Kwun Tong

The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority and the eMPF will be moving to a single office in The Millennity

The downsizing will save the regulator HK$14 million (US$1.8 million) a year in rent, a spokesman said

The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA) is consolidating its offices in Hong Kong, joining a growing number of companies in cutting down on office space to save costs.

Hong Kong’s pension regulator and its centralised electronic platform eMPF will shut down their offices at Kowloon Commerce Centre in Kwai Chung and Millennium City in Kwun Tong, respectively, and relocate to The Millennity in the same district from April 24. The MPFA has been at Millennium City since 2006, while the eMPF has occupied space at the Kowloon Commerce Centre since 2016.

The downsizing will save the regulator HK$14 million (US$1.8 million) a year in rent and reduce the total office area by more than 20 per cent, a spokesman for the authority said.

“The consolidation of office space will not only result in cost savings, but will also strengthen internal communication among colleagues, as well as between the MPFA and the eMPF, enhancing operational efficiency,” he said.

Hong Kong’s depressed office-rental market is showing signs of improving, with leasing activity picking up in February, as tenants took advantage of lower rents, which had fallen by 22 per cent over the past three years due to a glut of office space, according to a property agency. Last year, the overall office vacancy rate in the city stood at 14.4 per cent, the highest since 1998, official data published last month showed.

MPFA’s new office will be on the 12th floor of The Millennity - Tower 1 at 98 How Ming Street. Developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), The Millennity houses a shopping centre and has 650,000 square feet (60,000 square metres) of grade A office space in its two 20-storey towers.

The average price per square foot for a high floor office space in the building is between HK$26 to HK$30, according to data from a local property agency.

In March, accounting firm Deloitte leased two floors totalling 38,800 sq ft at The Millennity to consolidate its offices in Admiralty and Tai Kok Tsui, according to another property agency.

Meanwhile, Standard Chartered Bank will be leasing out three floors of the Millennium City 1-Standard Chartered Tower, a cluster of buildings in Kwun Tong developed by SHKP, local media Sing Tao reported last week.

The bank bought 15 floors in the tower for HK$1.3 billion from the developer in 1997.

The ninth, 10th and 11th floors of the building, averaging 20,584 sq ft each, are estimated to bring in a total of HK$18.5 million in rental income per year, the report said.

“Standard Chartered reviews our property portfolio and usage from time to time and makes adjustment according to our business needs and development, as well as the flexible working arrangement for our staff to ensure effective utilisation of resources,” said a spokesperson from the bank in response to queries by the Post on Monday.

The bank had earlier shut down eight floors at its Hong Kong headquarters in Central in 2021 during the pandemic. The same year, it announced a plan to cut down space for back-office staff by 30 per cent globally by 2025.

“Cost control under the current environment and work-from-home arrangements have forced many entities to consider downsizing,” a surveyor said.

Kenny Ng, a strategist at Everbright Securities, said such downsizing is a result of lay-offs across the finance industry globally.

“I believe this reflects that some institutions are uncertain about the future global economic outlook and hope to save costs to cope with potential economic risks in the future,” said Ng.

However, the border reopening and increased economic activity, especially with a positive outlook for the city’s economy and improving market outlook, will support the commercial leasing market, he added.

金鐘東昌大廈全層1.76億易手 長情業主沽貨 37年升值11倍

兩地通關後,商廈買賣開始活躍,金鐘東昌大廈全層單位,建築面積約8824方呎,以1.76億易手,平均呎價約2萬,屬市價水平,長情業主持貨37年,物業升值11倍。

金鐘東昌大廈向來罕見買賣,最新錄1宗成交,該廈7樓全層,建築面積約8824方呎,以每呎約2萬易手,涉資1.76億,新買家以買物業形式承接,須付相等於樓價4.25%釐印費。

全層面積8824方呎

有代理表示,位處金鐘的東昌大廈海富中心屬於同樣級數,近年海富中心全層單位,面積10627方呎,呎價約1.8萬,東昌大廈7樓全層成交價,屬市價水平。

東昌大廈一直受用家追捧,不少為自用業主,因而甚少放盤,買賣盤罕有,租盤亦不多。

上述單位原業主於1986年5月以1323.6萬購入上址,並於1997年4月內部轉讓,作價為1475萬。

呎價2萬屬市價水平

若以86年購入價計算,原業主持貨37年,帳面獲利1.6125億,物業升值逾11倍。

值得一提的是,於80年代中期,東昌大廈全層單位造價普遍為1300萬至1500萬,泰國領事館於1985年購入8樓全層,作價1500萬,政府產業署於1987年買入12樓全層,作價1323.6萬。

用家主導甚少放盤

於1986年間購入住宅,升值能力較商廈為強,其中,筲箕灣峻峰花園近期錄成交,E座中層4號室,面積450方呎,以682萬易手,物業升值超過15倍。

西半山福臨閣高層D室,面積394方呎,近期以750萬成交,原業主86年8月以約49.685萬購入,獲利逾700萬,升值約14倍。

金鐘東昌大廈7樓全層沽售,持貨37年升值11倍;同一年份購入的住宅及豪宅物業,價格普遍升14至15倍。

每個房間意向價344

據了解,若以該酒店總樓面約23萬方呎計算,平均呎價6435元,以430個房間計算,每個房間意向價約344萬。

上址位於屯門建豐街4號,前身有成工業大廈,資深投資者羅守輝旗下TOYOMALL於2009年11月以1.55億購入,曾考慮活化,惟隨後於2012年12月,以現狀售予「鋪王波叔」鄧成波,作價4.98億,及後物業活化為酒店出租。

積金局下周遷往觀塘新辦事處,料每年可節省1400萬開支

積金局宣布,下周一 (24日) 起,積金局及其全資附屬公司積金易公司將遷往觀塘巧明街98號 The Millennity 一座12樓,將兩個辦事處整合為一,預計由2023-24財政年度起每年可節省1400萬元的租金及相關開支。

積金局表示,將縮減辦事處總面積超過兩成,現時位於葵涌九龍貿易中心A座及觀塘道388號創紀之城1期-1座的辦事處將於下周一停止使用。該局認為,搬遷辦事處,除了可節省成本外,亦有助加強員工之間以及積金局與積金易公司的內部溝通,有助提高運作效率。

遷往新辦事處後,積金局的熱線電話、傳真號碼及電郵地址將維持不變。

馬時亨長女 低價購英皇鐘錶珠寶中心全層

作價9628萬 曾1.1億購下層後撻訂

中港通關後,零售市道明顯好轉,投資者開始重新關注商舖市場的升值前景。土地註冊處資料顯示,銅鑼灣羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心20樓,面積約4,718平方呎,剛以9,628萬元易手,原業主早於2014年舖市高峰期以約1.495億元購入,持貨9年帳面勁蝕5,322萬元,貶值36%。

據悉,買家以紫荊醫療控股有限公司作登記,董事包括劉馬露明 (LAU MA, LO MING CHRISTINE)、即港鐵 (00066) 前主席馬時亨的長女,及其夫劉仲恒等。區內代理透露,上述20樓全層由時裝店承租多年,每月租金約18萬元,以新成交價計2.2厘,反映成交價屬於市價水平。

余文樂蝕62 沽觀塘商廈單位

資料顯示,馬時亨長女劉馬露明對英皇鐘錶珠寶中心情有獨鍾,2022年5月曾以1.1億元購入英皇鐘錶珠寶中心19樓全層,後因市況問題取消交易,有報道指當時損失約500萬元訂金。而事隔約1年再次入市,是次買較高樓層,但造價比去年低一層成交價低1,372萬元,相信扣除去年撻訂成本仍有數得計。

另一方面,市場消息,觀塘駿業街56號中海日升中心高層G室,面積約1,715平方呎,上月底以2,070萬元沽出,呎價逾1.2萬元。原業主為藝人余文樂,於2015年6月以公司名義斥資約2,131.75萬元購入,持貨近8年後,是次沽出帳面已蝕約61.75萬元。

至於其他商舖買賣方面,消息指,銅鑼灣禮頓道103號力寶禮頓大廈地下A號舖,面積約1,160平方呎,剛以約3,680萬元易手,呎價約3.2萬元。

九龍塘劍橋道屋地 約4億放售

九龍塘劍橋道單號屋連地皮放售,意向價為3.98億元,每呎樓面地價約40,312元。物業建於1954年,地盤面積約5,485平方呎,現為2層高物業,最高可建地積比為1.8倍,可建建築面積約為9,873平方呎,可以現狀連租約或可議交吉售出。項目過往亦曾作幼兒園及護老院等用途。

有代理表示,是次放售屬該物業自落成後之首次放盤,業主家族持貨近70年,非常惜售。

甲廈供應仍多 今年租金料微跌

通關後甲廈租務需求稍增,惟供應仍多,業界普遍料今年甲廈租金調整未完,全年微跌。

有外資代理行指,商業活動逐漸復常,但受農曆新年傳統淡季影響,首季甲級寫字樓整體的表現未見有明顯反彈。吸納量方面,第一季整體淨吸納量錄得負24.8萬平方呎,反映在環球經濟前景不明朗情況下企業仍以節省成本為目標,擴充需求普遍較少。

金融行業租戶 新租面積最大

新租賃成交方面,按行業劃分,繼續以銀行及金融行業租戶 (33.3%) 面積佔比最大,其次為專業服務行業 (14.8%) 及醫療保健/美容業 (13.5%)。按地區劃分,九龍東及中區分別佔比超過三成及兩成,當中不乏大型樓面的租賃成交。該行代理指,季內見到不少企業落實遷出傳統核心商業區以減省租賃開支,市場上亦看見一些醫療及美容行業的租客進行搬遷活動。

近期租務成交上,漸見有中資企業擴充,涉及中環國際金融中心一期中層單位,面積約1.6萬平方呎,以每呎約120元租出,新租客為中資科技公司字節跳動,近年旗下社交應用程式TikTok更是極受歡迎,屬科企巨頭。該集團原租用港島區較細辦公室,是次租國際金融中心一期,既可整合業務及擴充,並可升級至超甲廈。

該層樓面原由瑞士私人銀行寶盛集團租用,原租用中環國際金融中心一期3層樓面,以及交易廣場等,合共逾7萬平方呎。2021年,該集團決定預租鰂魚涌太古坊二座4層樓面作搬遷,可節省租金支出,如今其中一層樓面獲中資企業承租,另其餘近兩層樓面仍在待租中。

港島東九龍東 租金跌幅明顯

該代理指,展望未來幾個月,內地企業的潛在需求將有助帶動寫字樓租賃活動逐步恢復。另外,整體甲廈待租率升至17.1%,而租金續見下調壓力,按季回落1.5%,與上年同期相比跌7.9%。分區而言,首季以港島東和九龍東的租金跌幅較為明顯,均按季下調超過2%。代理指,在過去數周,寫字樓的查詢及看樓活動亦逐漸回升。然而,始終這些活動後仍需要一段時間才能轉化成實際的租賃成交,因此未能即時反映在第一季度的吸納量及租賃表現當中。另外,盡管通關向市場釋出利好信息,但目前寫字樓待租面積及待租率仍處於高水平,業主難以提高租金,預測全年租金下調幅度介乎2至4%。

至於另一間外資代理行指,在中港兩地全面通關並取消所有防疫限制後,寫字樓租賃情緒在2023年第一季度有所改善。總租賃量較上一季的低基數按季增加42%,至110萬平方呎。鑑於2023年第一季度未有新寫字樓供應,加上淨吸納量為正數,空置率自2018年第四季度以來首次下跌0.2個百分點至15.1%。總空置面積為1,290萬平方呎。整體租金按季度下跌1.5%,連跌第16個季度。大尖沙咀區為唯一錄得租金增長的區份,淨吸納量為正數,租金按季上升0.3%。港島東為其中一個疲弱區份,隨着空置壓力持續上升,租金按季下跌3.8%,創下2021年第一季度以來最大跌幅。

該行代理表示,展望未來,隨着企業繼續實施成本控制政策及更多新的寫字樓供應,預計空置率將呈上升趨勢,2023年租金將繼續受壓。

Knightsbridge gears for sales


The Knightsbridge in Kai Tak, which is being developed by six builders, is expected to release the first batch of flats for tender by the end of this month, at the earliest.

The development, located at No 22 Shing Fung Road, Kai Tak is constructed by six developers, including Henderson Land Development (0012), New World Development (0017), China Overseas (0688), Wheelock Properties, Chinachem and Empire Group.

Mark Hahn Ka-fai, the general manager of sales (2) department at Henderson Land, said the project's sales brochure is scheduled to be released as early as next week.

The first batch of at least 114 flats is expected to be offered for sale via tender and their price will be established based on other home transactions in Kai Tak, he said.

The entire project comprises 566 homes that vary in size from 351 to 1,942 square feet and over 70 percent of them are three-bedroom units or larger.

Additionally, the project will have 409 parking spaces.

It is projected to be completed by September 30, 2024.

The Knightsbridge will be offering access to show flats starting from Friday. So far, they have received around 800 to 1,000 registrations for the visit.

Hong Kong home sales hit 20-month high, with return of mainland Chinese buyers, property tax cut boosting sentiment

Besides an improvement in overall investment sentiment, a cut in ad valorem stamp duty rates has also fuelled a surge in transaction volume, a property agent said

High-end market should outperform the mass market, as it is less vulnerable to macroeconomic issues, a property agent said

Hong Kong home sales reached 6,690 units in March, a 20-month high, as improved sentiment and a property tax cut boosted transactions, according to a property agency.

Homes priced between HK$4 million (US$510,000) and HK$5 million in particular accounted for 16.5 per cent of the total number of transactions in the first quarter, higher than their share of transactions of between 10.5 per cent and 13.9 per cent in the same quarter since 2020, according to the latest report by the consultancy.

“Besides improvement in overall investment sentiment, the government’s move on lowering ad valorem stamp duty rates also fuelled the surge in transaction volume,” a surveyor said.

The reopening of the border with mainland China had boosted hopes that Hong Kong’s battered property market would pick up, with wealthy mainland Chinese buyers able to inspect homes for purchase and companies more willing to expand or set up operations in the city, potentially bolstering the tenant pool as more talent relocates.

The latest numbers are proving that these hopes were not unfounded.

“The number of cases involving buyer’s stamp duty increased 50.8 per cent month on month in March, indicating more non-permanent residents entered the market,” the surveyor said.

March was also the first full month of the tax cut, which was announced in late February, whereby ad valorem stamp duty will be HK$100 for homes worth up to HK$3 million, instead of homes worth up to HK$2 million previously. The tax cut, which is implemented on a sliding scale, applies to homes worth HK$10 million or below, with savings for properties worth HK$9 million amounting to as much as HK$67,500, according to calculations by another agency.

The higher number of home sales is fuelling an increase in home prices, although this has remained soft, the surveyor added.

“Positive investment sentiment and recovery of buyers’ confidence carried forward,” he said. “A rebound in overall residential prices gained momentum with a 2.2 per cent month-on-month increment in February 2023, after going up by 1 per cent month on month in [January].”

Developers, however, have been extending various perks and incentives to buyers, effectively limiting price increases. These perks included discounts and cash rebates, among others, the agency said. “Currently, the residential price is soft mainly due to developers offering more attractive packages, and it is expected that the situation will persist in the second quarter this year,” the surveyor said.

As many as 119 new private housing projects with a total of 40,291 units are expected to launch this year, one of the largest stockpiles in about two decades, according to another agency.

Among the market’s segments, luxury property is likely to see the most upside owing to the return of mainland Chinese buyers.

“The transaction volume for high-end residential properties has gained momentum, where transactions for residential properties worth at least HK$20 million surged by 56.7 per cent month on month to 320 units in March, after surging by 83.8 per cent the previous month,” the agency’s report said.

Not only did the number of transactions improve, a number of sales were also notable for the amounts involved, the agency added.

For instance, a duplex at Upper Riverbank in Kai Tak sold for HK$125 million, a new high for the project. In the upscale district of Mid-Levels, three transactions were recorded with CK Asset Holdings cashing out a total of HK$461.1 million.

“This month observed more demand for luxury houses,” the report said. “K Wah International sold another house at K. Summit, Kai Tak for HK$134.4 million after selling its first house the previous month, while First Group Holdings … disposed of a 6,520 sq ft house at 20 Kent Road, Kowloon Tong, for about HK$480 million. On the other hand, [Sun Hung Kai Properties] sold a 4,016 sq ft house at Central Peak, Mid-Level East, at a project record high of HK$409.6 million.”

The high-end market should outperform the mass market, as it is less vulnerable to macroeconomic issues such as US recession fears, a wider banking fallout and interest rates, the agent said.

“I expect it to pick up in the second half of the year, as wealthy buyers are less concerned about interest rate rises.”

工商鋪錄890宗買賣 代理行:按季增長25%

工商鋪市況明朗,有代理表示,今年第一季香港錄約890宗工商鋪買賣,比去年第四季增長25%,總金額錄約195.64億,按季升約74%。

因應通關效應,鋪位交投暢旺,共錄11宗逾億成交,佔整體大手個案比例逾一半,自2月份訪港旅客首次突破百萬人次後,最新3月份整體訪港旅客飆升至245萬人次,恢復到疫情前季度平均客量約3成,當中約8成即超過196萬人次為國內旅客。個別財團趁早吸納全幢酒店,季內錄其中一宗酒店易手個案,為中國旅遊集團酒店控股公司以約34億購入尖沙嘴金巴利道28號君怡酒店全幢,更是疫情以來最大宗酒店交易。

市場錄11宗逾億成交

該代理續稱,2023年共錄約214宗鋪位買賣,按季微減約3%,成交金額增加,首季錄93.96億,按季大升95%,反映鋪位成交個案增多,最大額鋪位交易為旺角亞皆老街16至16B 旺角商業大廈地下E鋪及1至4樓,成交價達約3.5億。

強拍申請今年以來暫錄2宗 財團放緩併購待降門檻修例

自政府建議放寬申請強拍門檻至7成業權後,今年至今近4個月土地審裁處僅接獲2宗強拍申請,對比去年同期大跌約60%,更創近2年同期新低紀錄。有業界人士認為,目前財團放緩併購步伐,以待下半年審議的降低強拍門檻條例生效後,才加快收購,預期強拍申請個案將會回升。

據土地審裁處資料,今年迄今僅接獲2宗強拍申請個案,對比去年同期的5宗,按年減少60%,更創自2021年起近2年新低紀錄;而今年期內涉及物業總市場估值約4.75億,對比去年同期的10.31億,大減5.56億,最新市場估值金額亦是近2年新低紀錄。

創兩年新低

上述2宗強拍申請個案市場估值金額介乎約2.14億至2.6億,最矚目為九建柯氏家族相關人士收購多年的中環歌賦街35至39A號舊樓,今年1月向該處提出強拍申請,以統一業權發展,當時尚餘6個物業未成功收購,包括4個住宅單位,2個地庫,市場估值介乎約424.3萬至658.1萬,而市場對整個項目估值2.14649394億。

該項目現址為一幢樓高4層的商住舊樓,地下為商鋪,樓上為住宅樓層,該舊樓早於1958落成入伙,至今樓齡約65年。上址地盤面積約4917方呎,若以重建地積比10倍重建發展,可建總樓面約49170方呎。

另一宗申請為財團併購的鴨脷洲山明街16至24號 (雙號)、新市街41及43號 (單號),當時財團持有約80%業權,餘下3個商鋪、4個住宅單位,以及部分天台尚未收購,其中商鋪市場估值約864萬至1187萬,而住宅單位估值約394萬至492萬,部分天台估值33.5萬及41萬,而整個項目市場估值約2.60637億。

資料顯示,2022年的《施政報告》建議放寬申請強拍門檻,樓齡達50年或以上但少於70年的私人樓宇門檻由八成業權降至七成,樓齡達70年或以上則降至六成。位於非工業地帶的工廈,如樓齡達30年或以上,強拍門檻降至七成業權。據了解,政府擬於今年下半年向立法會提交修訂強拍條例草案。

按年大跌約60%

有測量師指出,強拍申請宗數減少,市場上有併購財團等待降強拍門檻生效,屆時叫價太高的小業主議價能力將會大降,另外,目前一手樓積存的貨尚待消化,亦有部分發展商放慢收購步伐。

另一測量師表示,年初時樓市稍為好轉,雙方出現拉鋸局面爭持不下,放寬舊樓強拍門檻草案料下半年審議,料發展商或財團亦等降強拍門檻後才申請。市場估計屆時強拍申請個案將會回升。

另有測量師說,在目前市況下,買賣雙方仍呈拉鋸局面爭持不下,而且觀望實際修改亦無可避免。另外,近月亦接獲小業主就降低強拍門檻的查詢及影響。

今年至今土地審裁處僅接獲2宗強拍申請,對比去年同期大跌約60%,更創近2年同期新低紀錄。

該鋪位毗鄰的香港大廈S及X號鋪連閣樓,位處單邊,屬於該地段的「鋪王」,地鋪約1080方呎,閣樓1000方呎,於2012年中珠寶鐘表店提價逾1倍,以200萬搶租該鋪位,呎租約1852元,當時的舊租客為Omega (由太子鐘錶珠寶開設),月租約90萬,租期至2013年2月。

花園街地鋪16萬承租

對上長租客首飾店Swarovski於2019年3月以80萬續租,最新租金重返疫市前。

市場消息透露,旺角花園街85、87及89號3個交吉多時的鋪位,連錄承租,其中,85號地鋪面積約1300方呎,1樓約1000方呎,以約16萬租出,租客亦是藥妝品,該鋪位舊租客為體育用品店允記,於疫情前月租28.5萬,最新租金較疫市前跌43%。

銅鑼灣記利佐治街一個地鋪,曾由手機配件店短租多年,最新由藥妝店進駐,月租30萬,較對上長租客影音店,租金減少33%。

基建效應 推動油塘轉商住發展

油塘將有不少新基建陸續上馬,包括規劃中的將軍澳——油塘隧道將進一步加強區內交通,推動油塘舊有工業區的轉型,近年區內工廈陸續展開重建將帶來近萬伙供應。

油塘位於九龍的東面,佔據鯉魚門海峽,西面是觀塘商業區、東面是將軍澳住宅區,但跟這兩個社區分別被茶果嶺及魔鬼山分隔,往九龍最主要靠鯉魚門道,而往港島則有東隧,近年則曾添將軍澳藍田隧道。至於據去年施政報告提出的「三鐵三路」基建,其中就包括興建連接將軍澳——油塘隧道,將會進一步方便油塘居民來往將軍澳、調景嶺一帶。

5項目 增建3400伙住宅

現時油塘屬於住宅及工業綜合社區,以茶果嶺道為分界,北部以住宅區為主,包括油塘邨、油翠苑、油塘中心等,而南部分別是鄰近港鐵油塘站的油塘灣工業區,以及東源街、高輝道交界一帶的工業區,兩者近年均在加速轉型。

其中東源街、高輝道一帶現時以分層工廈為主,過去10年陸續有工廈重建成住宅項目,例如包括嘉賢居、鯉灣天下等,目前正在進行規劃及重建中的項目,則仍有5個,合共將提供近3,400伙。

東源街5及8 料今年推售樓花

當中最早登場將會是長實 (01113) 旗下東源街5及8號項目,發展商已經在2年前補地價約22.1億元,將工業地轉為興建4幢住宅大廈,提供約800伙,預計以中、小型單位為主,將會在2023年推售樓花。

另外曾經在區內收購工廈重建成曦臺的宏安 (01222),亦再次收購四山街18至20號油塘工業大廈第4座。該工廈於1979年落成,現為樓高4層的工業大廈,地盤面積約41,800平方呎,規劃為「住宅(戊類)」,預計重建作商住用途,最高地積比率6倍,可建樓面約25.08萬平方呎,估計可以提供約400至500個中小型住宅單位。

至於油塘灣項目更是早在20年前已經獲恒地 (00012) 等7間發展商牽頭展開重建轉型,現時計劃分為4期興建約32至34幢住宅、4幢酒店及1個商場,總樓面達429萬平方呎,涉及多達6,556伙,其中由發展商組成的財團所主導的第1及2期,則涉及30幢住宅,大約6,200個單位,目前亦正在商討補地價之中。

The home is valued at HK$200 million or HK$85,500 per sq ft, an agent said. The deal is expected to deliver HK$83.2 million in a paper gain to the owner after the home was purchased for HK$116.8 million in 2012.

中資券商189萬擴租中環中心 再添一層2.7萬呎 勢成最大租戶

本港全面通關後,商廈市場漸見曙光,個別行業已重新展開擴充活動。中資金融公司華泰金融控股最新落實承租中環皇后大道中99號中環中心高層全層近2.7萬方呎樓面,料月租達189萬元,令該公司在中環中心租用的樓面增至最少近12萬方呎,勢成該廈最大租戶。

呎租70 較高位平26%

據了解,華泰金融控股最新租用中環中心69樓全層,建築面積約26967方呎,涉及月租達189萬元,呎租約70元。該單位處於高層,可享維港海景,但已丟空逾兩年,最初每方呎叫租為95元,及後因應市況而逐步下調,至去年底回落至75元,最終以每方呎70元租出,較意向租金最高位下調26.3%。

根據資料,華泰金融控股在2016年開始進駐中環中心,初時只在不同樓層租用散單位經營業務,直到2018年才轉租62樓全層作為總部,在去年底增租68樓全層,建築面積約26967方呎,事隔不足半年,再進一步增租樓上69樓全層。

據悉,華泰金融控股目前在中環中心最少已租用53樓、62樓、68樓及69樓4層全層,以及58樓7至12室接近半層樓面,合共租用的總建築面積達11.89萬方呎,相信為現時中環中心最大單一租戶,而且絕大部分單位租期皆在2025至2026年才約滿。

共進駐近12萬呎橫跨多層

事實上,華泰金融控股不斷在中環中心原廈擴充,除業務需要外,同時亦因為租金下降。以華泰金融控股現時登記的總部所在地址中環中心62樓全層,建築面積26356方呎,今年初續租雖獲減租18%,但最新月租仍達205.6萬元,呎租約78元。反而是次最新承租的69樓樓層更高,惟呎租卻較62樓低逾一成。

長實 (01113) 在2017年11月以天價402億元售出中環中心75%權益,包括47層寫字樓、商業樓面及402個車位,涉及總樓面約122.27萬方呎,平均呎價約32877元。「小巴大王」馬亞木持貨最多,屬於該廈的大業主,而華泰金融控股所租用的53樓、68樓和最新的69樓,都由馬亞木持有。

而綜合市場資訊,中環中心目前仍有3層待租,包括由世茂房地產 (00813) 主席許榮茂持有的31及32樓,以及內房合生創展 (00754) 擁有的48樓,該3層的建築面積由24858至25695方呎,意向月租由149萬至180萬元,呎租60至70元。

據一間本地代理行資料顯示,今年第一季整體商廈市場漸見轉機,指標商廈首季共錄得約138宗租務個案,較去年第四季及去年第一季分別錄得約124宗及112宗,明顯增長約11.3%及23.2%。

對於今年甲廈空置率高及新供應多,李康男指,通關後商業活動重啟,氣氛轉好,有質素的甲廈可吸引用家承接,而集團旗下兩商廈項目,主要買家為用家,故認為具質素的商廈需求仍高。

他亦提到,由於旗下黃竹坑道23號加入藝術元素,具有特色,成功吸引用家。

全仁醫療集團創始執行主席劉仲恒表示,購入單位成為集團在香港的第三間醫學影像中心,同時標誌着投資者趙朗對香港醫療保健行業作出的首次重大投資。此外,合資公司已預留6,000萬元,用於該中心安裝磁力共振等醫學影像設備。是次把專業房地產投資策略,與專業醫療營運結合並產生協同效應,部署穩健的醫療房地產策略,為基金投資者帶來穩定回報。

中央試驗所搬遷 騰出地皮值逾23億

發展局申請23.67億元撥款搬遷九龍灣工務中央試驗所大樓,計劃遷入安達臣道的岩洞內,完成後可騰出8.6萬平方呎土地連同比鄰用地作住宅發展,估計地皮市值23億元起。

位於九龍灣臨海的工務中央試驗所大樓,在1990年落成,開始出現老化問題,當局將在安達臣道石礦場的大山建造聯用岩洞,重置試驗所及政府檔案處歷史檔案中心,其中搬遷中央試驗所工程費用約23.676億元。

工務中央試驗所現時佔地4.3萬平方呎,據當局指,在完成搬遷後可騰出現址連同比鄰官地組成8.6萬平方呎用地,作為中等密度住宅發展,若以地積比率4.5倍計算,可建樓面38.7萬平方呎。參考同區近期地價,估計地皮目前估值23.2億至31億元,每呎樓面地價6,000至8,000元左右。

作住宅發展 可建38.7萬呎

據當局指,在獲批撥款後估計3年半內完成建造岩洞及重置工程,並在6個月時間拆卸現有大樓,整個過程估計約4年內。

至於政府檔案處歷史檔案中心的岩洞發展造價則約34.1億元。

另外,政府原定下周二 (25日) 在立法會發展事務委員會介紹新田科技城最新規劃方案,不過當局近日調動議程,以「向受政府項目影響的棕地作業提供協助」的項目,取代原有新田科技城議程。

城規會上周修訂審批棕地作業用途的規劃指引,據發展局指,想第一時間在4月份向立法會交代該修訂,並簡介為棕地作業提供的各項協助。她又指,經委員會主席同意後,計劃於5月份的會議上匯報新田科技城方案和土地規劃布局。

HK property deals cool down amid uncertainty


Local property transactions are set to fall by 30 percent in April from the month before, a property agency warned, citing economic uncertainty.

The number of sale-and-purchase agreements in April stood at 3,251 as of April 19, involving HK$27.97 billion in total.

According to the agency’s estimates, around 6,000 property transactions worth a total of HK$50 billion will be recorded in April, representing a plunge of 30.2 percent in number and 27.4 percent in value from the figures recorded in March.

As of April 19, there were 761 residential property transactions in the primary market, involving HK$7.85 billion.

The estimated total number of transactions for the month is expected to be around 1,300, with a total value of HK$14 billion. These represent a decrease of 27 percent and 27.3 percent respectively, compared to the figures in March.

Meanwhile, the secondary market recorded 1,659 transactions involving HK$15.39 billion as of April 19.

And the total number of transactions in the secondary market for the month is estimated to be 3,000, with a total value of HK$26 billion, a decrease of 33.1 percent and 28 percent respectively.

Over the weekend, the agency saw an increase in transactions in 10 major housing estates, rising from five in the previous week to eight. However, no transactions were reported in half of these 10 estates.

It said that as new property projects were launched successively with competitive prices, this continued to exert pressure on the secondary market.

The agency’s prediction came as show flats of University Hill, a new project in Tai Po, attracted around 13,000 visitors since they were opened last Thursday.

Project developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it may make more flats available for sale in the near future in light of the enthusiastic response from potential buyers to University Hill.

The second price list for 61 flats at University Hill was released last Friday, offering a maximum of 15 percent discount. Starting from HK$5.6 million after discounts, the average discounted unit price of these flats is HK$16,168 per square foot.

Meanwhile, the last detached house of SHKP's project The Wings IIIA in Tseung Kwan O was sold for HK$48.2 million by tender, marking another transaction in the luxury property sector.

利息快見頂料推動大手買賣 外資代理行代理:看好酒店及核心區鋪

利息高企抵銷通關的利好因素,今年首季投資市場偏淡,有外資代理行代理表示,隨着第二季開始利息見頂,有利大手投資活動,看好酒店及核心區鋪位。

該代理表示,上月,久違的大型展覽再度舉行,國際珠寶展及巴塞爾藝術展為市場帶來生氣,雖然訪港旅客僅恢復疫市前約50%,酒店生意出乎意料理想,不論三星或五星級出租率高達80%,租金重返疫情前水平,核心區鋪位亦連錄矚目租賃。儘管市況向好,大手投資卻偏淡。

酒店租金重返疫情前

該行資料顯示,首季市場上億元或以上大交易,金額僅91億,按季跌15%,按年跌16%,翟聰解釋,利息高企,窒礙投資者意欲,尤其善用槓桿的基金,完全缺乏動力。

該代理續說,去年至今,同業拆息由0.2厘升至3厘高水平,抵銷通關的利好因素,儘管近月買家查詢大增,重返疫市前60%至70%水平,高息令他們審慎,業主看好前景,態度強硬,交投因而下跌。

「家族辦公室」帶動香港經濟

雖然如此,該代理對後市抱堅定信心,代理說,亞太區多個主要城市比香港更早通關,根據外地經驗,經濟需時恢復動力,「一切只是時間而己」。該代理留意到,一項重要因素,令香港前景看高一綫,政府給予誘因,鼓勵外地人來港設立「家族辦公室」,務求大量引入資金及人才,將帶動香港經濟。

代理表示,今年第二季利息開始見頂,投資市場再度起動,旅客重臨,酒店及核心區鋪直接受惠,疫市下鋪租曾跌至低谷,目前回氣反彈,趁租售價大升前,正是吸納良機。

該代理續表示,香港擅於策劃展覽,旅遊及酒店業興旺;過去3年,部分酒店改商廈或其他用途,房間流失多達約3000個,相對整體市場約9萬個房間,佔約3%,供應減少帶動房價上升。

核心區物業已調整 投資價值高

外資代理行代理:內地中小企 查詢租盤增

首季大額投資物業買賣整體未見暢旺,有外資代理行代理認為,投資市場受制於高息環境,看好下半年有改善,當中認為核心區物業已調整,絕對值得投資。

去年第四季大額成交淡靜,今年即使終於通關,首季買賣未見暢旺。據該行數據,2021年全年逾億元買賣錄318宗,而去年在加息下,跌至175宗,幅度達45%。截至4月,今年僅錄34宗逾億元成交,仍是相對淡靜。數字上,首季大手買賣27%來自住宅成交,比起對上一季14.6%為高,反映首季大手成交,住宅市場轉理想,其餘投資物業包括工業、商廈等,交投未見起色。

該代理分析,從數字上反映通關後,大額投資市場沒有受利好因素帶動,「即使近期住宅市場出現逾億元成交而涉及內地買家,但其實有關資金一早在港,非通關而入市。通關後資金流入個案,以一手住宅較理想,其餘各範疇未見資金湧入。」代理分析,「畢竟內地經濟亦受疫情影響,在恢復階段,現階段資金較緊張,國企級用家亦未見出手買商廈,而內地中小企查詢寫字樓租盤轉多。」

投資市場由去年下半年始轉勢,今年尚未回復,該代理直指主要原因是息口,「投資市場從來息口是關鍵,加息周期始終未完。畢竟香港一直是低息環境,當息口高值博率便低,去年第四季開始外資基金停止入市,他們一定借4至5成錢,高息下便乏興趣入市。」不過,相信加息已到尾聲,「若息口下半年喘定,仍有利投資市場,相信上半年買賣會較淡靜,下半年經濟活動將較多,大額買賣可望增加」。

投資商舖 正路之選

今年投資焦點上,該代理認為最值得留意是傳統核心區,「近一年很多人談論北部都會區前景佳,值得投資,但始終言之尚早,今明兩年仍集中投資核心區,因不論商廈、舖位資產價格已調整,今天要去中環買一幢商廈,也是無放盤,因此價錢調整至合理水平,便出現投資機會。」

各項範疇上,過往兩年基金連環吸納工廈,該代理料今年交投放緩,「工廈回報率相對較高,但近年已售出一批工廈。物流業在通關後,需求即放緩。當加息後,要提高工廈回報率,用途不離改凍倉及數據中心,惟兩者受制於物業本身規格,預計成交不多。」

至於商舖,代理指是投資正路之選,「旅客重返,零售業有轉機,商舖先受惠,不過訪港人數、消費等,亦要時間恢復,要留意五一黃金周情況如何。」寫字樓方面,代理指今明兩年是新供應高峰期,關鍵是機構需求會否減少,「近期很多機構見中環租金較以前便宜,有興趣搬遷。整體走勢仍要留意中資動力,包括IPO、資產管理公司擴充等,租金方面,全年持平發展已很理想。」

醫療商廈有錢途

物業增值才有投資價值,有外資代理行代理表示,看好醫療相關商廈,以及可轉作住宅收租的酒店物業。

從事大額買賣多年,該代理認為,若要吸引投資者購大額物業,關鍵之一是物業具增值空間,才有升值潛力。疫情下,代理指整體市況有所轉變,「畢竟疫情3年,對經濟日常運作及活動也有影響,如疫後市民網購會否增加?現在市民生活習慣也有轉變,晚上街道人流亦減少,這些均是疫後一些改變,會否重回疫情前有待觀察。」代理指,疫情更令市民注重身體,故可留意醫療相關物業,「例如一些商廈,可作醫療用途,或業主與醫療機構合作等。對內地人來說,對香港醫療始終有信心,相關物業前景佳。」

酒店可作住宅收租 潛力高

另一項值得留意物業是酒店及服務式住宅,該代理看好原因來自住屋需求,事實上,該行去年亦曾協助基金以16.5億元購紅磡酒店,改作學生宿舍用途,「旅遊業轉好,酒店固然有投資價值,但除了傳統用途外,基金仍對可作住宅長租、共居等範疇感興趣。」

至於長遠而言,該代理謂不少基金留意創科市場,包括生物科技企業等,故相關的廠房、可作科研工作的物業,未來料成新需求。

大灣區發展前景佳,該代理指,該行亦於通關後加快與內地分行合作,互動加強,「本港甲廈租金水平下跌後,已貼近深圳,不少內地公司亦有興趣來開業。與此同時,香港甚至跨國企業,亦有意開拓內地市場,故相信有不少商機。」另外,「預計今年外資基金入市興趣降,焦點將是本地投資者,老牌家族開始有意放盤或入市。」

恒基土瓜灣舊樓批強拍底價10.7 頻擴重建區版圖 共涉4項目

恒基併購約8年的土瓜灣舊樓群,陸續踏入收成期,最新落山道、土瓜灣道舊樓,獲土地審裁處批出強拍令,底價為10.71億,對比2019年申請時市場估值約8.36億,高出約28%。該集團於鄰近一帶有4個併購項目,上述為最後一個獲批強拍令的項目,意味整個重建區版圖已近完成。

恒基執行董事黃浩明回覆本報查詢時指,上述土瓜灣舊樓群收購時間約8年,計畫將上述項目合併發展,據目前構思項目以興建上車盤為主,以滿足現時市場剛性需求,同時滿足市民對住屋的需求,然而實際的單位面積等尚在規劃當中。

餘6物業未成功收購

據土地審裁處文件顯示,是次獲批強拍令的項目位於落山道72至76號及土瓜灣道72至76B號,恒基在2019年11月提出申請強拍時持有約90.385%業權,在審訊時增持至約94.231%業權,剩餘6個物業並未成功收購,包括2個地鋪及4個住宅單位。

而申請人曾於2019年至2022年期間曾4度向小業主出價收購,其中2個地鋪4次出價均為3131萬及3715萬;而4個住宅單位由2019年出價664萬至1140萬、提升至711萬至1183萬,增幅約3.8%至7.1%,仍然遭拒絕。

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。

現址為一幢樓高8層的商住舊樓,早於1958年落成入伙,至今約65年樓齡,地下為商鋪,樓上則為住宅樓層,地盤面積約1.03萬方呎。

4項目強拍金額約41.7

資料顯示,恒基於土瓜灣道、下鄉道,以及落山道一帶有4個收購項目,當中有3個項目已透過強拍途徑成功統一業權,涉及金額約31.004億,連同是次獲批強拍令的項目底價約10.71億計,上述4個項目總金額約41.714億。

可建總樓面約37萬呎

據該公司年報顯示,計畫將上述4個項目合併發展,範圍包括土瓜灣土瓜灣道68A至76B號、落山道58至76號、下鄉道14至20號、麗華街1至7號及美華街1至9號及2至8號,合併後總地盤面積增至42506方呎,料重建後自佔總樓面約374355方呎。換言之,整個重建區的版圖已近完成。

除收購項目外,恒基曾於2021年9月以81.89億奪得的市建局土瓜灣首個以「小區模式」發展的項目、即土瓜灣庇利街/榮光街項目,其後恒基於去年7月引入希慎及帝國集團共同發展。該項目地盤面積約7.97萬方呎,涉及可建總樓面約71.7萬。

恒基計畫將上述4個項目合併發展,地盤面積增至4.25萬方呎,料重建後自佔總樓面約37.4萬方呎,可見整個重建區的版圖已近完成。

Hong Kong’s office market outlook improves after vacancy rate fell for the first time in 10 months in March


Grade A office vacancy rate fell 0.2 percentage points month on month to 12 per cent in March – the first decline since May 2022, according to a property consultancy’s data

Rents also slipped slightly to HK$54.7 (US$6.96) per sq ft from HK$54.8 in February

Hong Kong’s office vacancy rate declined for the first time in 10 months in March, and signs for the rest of the year are encouraging amid an uptick in business activity following the border reopening with mainland China, market observers said.

The overall vacancy rate for grade A offices fell 0.2 percentage points month on month in March to 12 per cent – the first decline since May 2022, according to data from a property consultancy on Monday. The office market recorded a net absorption of 203,900 sq ft in March, the consultancy said.

Offices in the city’s Kowloon area were the most sought after in the first three months, which mainly helped to bring down the vacancy rate, data from two property agencies showed.

“Inspections and negotiations picked up among multinational, mainland and local companies,” an agent said, adding that deals were “likely to come to fruition in the latter part of the year as it typically takes months for corporates to consider and assess real estate plans”.

“Tenants mainly aimed for quality of the building and upgrades, especially in decentralised submarkets with ample new high-quality supply.”

The outlook for Hong Kong’s office market has brightened since Covid-19 restrictions were dropped and the border with mainland China reopened on February 6. The city’s government has forecast gross domestic product growth of 3.5 per cent to 5.5 per cent for this year as economic activities pick up, which will help to boost private consumption and further reduce the unemployment rate.

“In Kowloon East … the market has started to absorb the large amount of supply which was completed last year,” another agent said.

The biggest rental transaction in the city’s “second central business district” last month was concluded by MUFG Bank. The Japanese bank leased two floors totalling 86,800 sq ft at AIRSIDE in Kai Tak to consolidate its offices in Central and Quarry Bay.

Manulife Financial Centre in Kowloon East also welcomed a new tenant, which rented 30,700 sq ft last month.

On Hong Kong Island, a company leased a 13,300 sq ft office at Great Eagle Centre in Wan Chai.

Such transactions helped to reduce the vacancy rates in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, the bustling office and shopping areas, to 9.6 per cent from 10.2 per cent in February, while in Kowloon East the available office space fell to 19.3 per cent from 19.7 per cent, the consultancy said.

Office rents also fell slightly last month to HK$54.7 (US$6.96) per square feet from HK$54.8 in February.

“Overall net effective rents dropped by 0.2 per cent month on month in March,” an agent said. “Among the major office submarkets, rentals in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay and Kowloon East dropped by 0.4 per cent and 0.3 per cent, respectively.”

The vacancy rates and rents in the city’s main financial district of Central were flat.

In another report released earlier this month, the other consultancy found the office vacancy rate in Hong Kong had dropped 0.2 percentage points to 15.1 per cent in the first three months of this year from the previous quarter – the first quarterly decline since the fourth quarter of 2018.

Gross leasing volume increased by 40 per cent to 1.1 million sq ft from the previous quarter. Net absorption was 135,900 sq ft between January and March, up for a third consecutive quarter, which the consultancy said was mainly contributed by Kowloon.

“The opening months of 2023 marked a gradual return to normalcy as cross-border travel with mainland China fully resumed,” another agent said.

The consultancy expects integration and collaboration between Hong Kong and China to accelerate in 2023. “Office demand from Chinese enterprises will gradually return to Hong Kong, with firms from this market expected to drive new and expansionary demand.”

17 building developments given go-ahead in February

Seventeen development plans were approved in February, with 60 percent of them related to residential projects.

The Buildings Department reveals that among 11 plans for apartments and apartment/commercial developments there are two from the Urban Renewal Authority.

The URA's Bailey Street/Wing Kwong Street project in To Kwa Wan will see redevelopment by Henderson Land (0012), Hysan Development (0014) and Empire Group into three 24-story buildings, featuring a residential area of 597,897 square feet and a commercial area of 119,540 sq ft.

The project was awarded to Henderson for HK$8.2 billion in 2021. Then Hysan and Empire joined as co-developers for the project in July last year.

The redevelopment project is the largest URA project in the past seven years and is expected to provide approximately 1,150 residential units.

And the Urban Renewal Authority's Sung Hing Lane/Kwai Heung Street project in Sai Ying Pun will be redeveloped by Far East Consortium (0035) into a 33-story residential building with a total floor area of 90,934 sq ft for residential purposes and 2,776 sf for commercial.

整體商廈空置回落 外資代理行代理:上月跌至12%

有外資代理行最新發表的市場報告中指出,整體寫字樓空置率於3月底輕微回落至12%,為2022年5月以來首次回落。

該行指出,整體甲級寫字市場空置率由2月底的12.2%微跌至3月底12%。灣仔 (銅鑼灣) 和九龍東的空置率分別跌落至9.6% 和19.3%,中環的空置率則保持平穩。

去年5月以來首次向下

該行代理表示,自從通關以來,睇樓和洽商活動變得活躍,受數宗樓面面積較大的單位租賃成交驅動,整體甲級寫字樓市場在3月錄20.39萬方呎淨吸納量,以及整體市場空置率的下跌。

淨吸納量20.39萬方呎

在為數不多的新租賃中,三菱日聯銀行租用啟德 AIRSIDE 兩層樓面,涉及建築面積約共8.68萬方呎,以整合其位於中環和鰂魚涌的寫字樓。

該行另一代理表示,3月整體市場租金按月跌0.2%,主要分區市場當中,灣仔、銅鑼灣和九龍東租金分別跌0.4%和0.3%,而中環租金則保持平穩。

裕昌中心低層意向價1200

另有代理表示,沙田黃竹洋街1至3號裕昌中心低層單位放售,建築面積約1500方呎,意向價約1200萬,平均每方呎約8000元。物業樓底高約16呎7吋,樓面負重約500磅,適合存放大型物件。物業亦設有獨立冷氣,可作冷凍貨倉用途。物業與停車場同層,亦有獨立出入口。

黃竹坑道23號 全新甲廈添藝術感

黃竹坑商業前景佳,而全新商廈黃竹坑道23號「宏基匯」設計上增添藝術氣氛,令物業具有一定特色。

宏基資本 (02288) 發展的黃竹坑道23號甲級寫字樓「宏基匯」於近期落成,位置上,物業位處黃竹坑核心商業及工業段,比鄰環匯廣場,對面為另一年內落成商廈項目VIVA Place 偉華匯,換言之整體商業氣氛不俗。由黃竹坑港鐵站步行至該廈,需時約10分鐘,大廈門口有巴士站,可前往銅鑼灣、中環及九龍等,

飲食配套上,現階段黃竹坑仍比較缺乏餐廳,不過,位於黃竹坑站的港鐵商場「THE SOUTHSIDE」有望今年開業,商場樓面面積約51萬平方呎,設有5層商舖樓層,有約150間商戶,屆時飲食及生活配套將更齊全。

項目於去年尾落成,今年入伙。設計上,黃竹坑現時滙聚不少藝術相關行業,而業主在設計上有心思,由擁超過40年經驗、美國捷得建築師事務所 (The Jerde Partnership) 打造。據悉,項目已獲多項業界知名的設計獎項,括Rethinking The Future Awards室內工作場所 (概念) 第一名、APR IID Design Awards設計金獎以及MUSE Design Awards設計金獎等。

由大廈地下入口,從扶手電梯上升降機大堂,均見有藝術擺設,如入口大堂由本地藝術家帶來一系列圍繞黃竹坑為主題的作品作開場,糅合不同的繪畫形式,描繪黃竹坑不同年代的風貌,把黃竹坑閒適與都會感融入室內公共空間之中,配合大堂高樓底設計氣派十足,展現文藝氛圍。

2至5樓作零售用途

1樓升降機大堂的牆身以馬賽克拼貼方式,呈現加拿大藝術家Teresa Young主題為「Sunsets Surround Us」畫作,予人舒適感覺。

另外,物業16樓為空中花園,提供綠化及舒適休閒空間。

樓高27層,2至5樓作零售用途,6至29樓則為寫字樓用途,大廈提供3部載客電梯及1部消防電梯,相當充足。

樓層單位建築面積為747至1,327平方呎,擁有4.75米特高層與層之間的高度,空間運用更具靈活性,可滿足不同用途需求。

景觀方面,單位可享有翠綠山巒景觀,配合大廈藝術及自然的主題。

翻查資料,物業原為工廈標達中心全幢,2017年原業主把物業放售,獲多路財團洽購。結果宏基資本以14.8億元購入。物業地盤面積約7,148平方呎,於2015年底獲批補地價1,047萬元,可重建為商業用途,可建樓面約10.7萬平方呎。以14.8億元計,樓面呎價約1.38萬元。

黃竹坑道23號全新項目「宏基匯」獲用家及投資者留意,據悉,今年初開售至今,暫售出約4成單位,平均呎價約1.48萬元。

呎價最高達16300

有外資代理行代理指,宏基匯首批單位在本年初推售,短短一個月內已售出約八成半單位,套現超過7億元,最高呎價達16,300元。項目暫沽出55伙,平均呎價約14,800元,買家方面,用家為主佔7成,另外有3成買家來自內地資金,反映通關後內地入市頗積極。

宏基資本資產管理投資部助理副總裁李康男表示,項日涉133伙,暫時推出單位主要為中層,而高層優質單位料稍後推出,料全部單位沽售,可套現約20億元。他指,項目於中層設示範單位,提供不同類型裝修及設計。

薄扶林「百年豪宅」 罕有屋地4.5億沽

比鄰兩屋地曾標售 置地牛奶公司持有

中港全面通關後,傳統豪宅段地皮交投升溫,早前薄扶林沙宣道「百年豪宅」愛蓮別墅推出市場標售,消息稱,地皮剛以約4.5億元成交,每平方呎樓面地價逾3萬元,屬百年豪宅地罕有成交。

2月份,測量師行獲遺囑執行人委託,標售薄扶林沙宣道50及52號愛蓮別墅,物業將以「現狀」部分交吉及部分連租約出售,並於上月尾截標。市場人士指,由於項目屬原業主家族於1920至1930年間,自行發展並作自用,一直作為生活居所,百年來未曾放售,加上位於傳統豪宅地段,故引來不少財團競投。消息透露,近日項目售出,料成交價約4.5億元。

愛蓮別墅樓面呎價逾3

物業地盤面積約19,500平方呎,地積比率限制為0.75倍,最大可重建面積約14,625平方呎。若按4.5億元計,每平方呎樓面地價逾3萬元。

薄扶林為傳統豪宅地段,沙宣道本身坐擁180度無遮擋海景,背山面海具極高私隱度,故是次易手的物業具重建價值。值得一提,比鄰的兩幅大型屋地,過往數年亦曾於市場放售。

其中沙宣道46號臨海獨立地段,由置地持有作收租多年,去年中於市場標售,物業現狀為7間3層高獨立屋,連獨立車庫及私人泳池,地盤面積約44,800平方呎,最大可重建面積約32,255平方呎,去年叫價約16億元,即每平方呎樓面地價約4.96萬元,惟未有售出。

至於由牛奶公司持有,位於薄扶林沙宣道54號地皮,業主2019年曾推出招標,地盤面積約29,519平方呎,最高地積比率限制為0.75倍,可建樓面約22,139平方呎。據悉,牛奶公司於1988年以1,300萬元購入,至今尚未售出。若3幅地皮作合併發展,可作甚極規模的豪宅項目。

另外,該地段亦不乏名人大宅,如沙宣道33號,便由霍英東家族持有,物業建於1930年,大宅在1970年由霍英東斥資143萬元購入,目前被評為二級歷史建築。

通關後 傳統屋地成焦點

通關後本港樓市向好,當中以豪宅交投較為暢旺,而傳統豪宅地段的屋地,更成投資焦點。最大手為馬來西亞「錫礦大王」陸佑家族持有馬己仙峽道30至38號地皮,以約50億元沽出,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11.5萬元。至於莊士機構  (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,物業佔地約17,000平方呎。九龍區方面,第一集團於3月份,沽出九龍塘根德道20號獨立大屋,成交價約4.5億元,呎價約7萬元。

據一間外資代理行數據,今年首季錄29宗逾億元物業買賣,較去年第四季44宗為少,比例上住宅佔27%,比起去年第四季14.6%為高,可見今年首季逾億元豪宅買賣旺。該行代理認為,通關後,不少為內地買家購入本港獨立屋、特色單位等,令超級豪宅比起其他範疇活躍。本地發展商方面,亦可趁地價稍回落,吸納豪宅地皮作土地儲備,故相信豪宅市場表現仍理想。

宏安4.3億 購鰂魚涌住宅地盤

港島市區地皮罕有,早前投資者「越南朱」沽出鰂魚涌住宅地盤予第一集團,近期取消交易,現極速由宏安 (01222) 承接,料涉約4.3億元,每平方呎樓面地價逾約1.1萬元。

原買家第一集團 取消交易

2月份,第一集團以向投資者「越南朱」朱立基,購入鰂魚涌住宅地盤,每平方呎樓面地價約1萬餘元,料發展上車盤。市場人士透露,雙方原以買賣公司股份形式交易,惟當中涉及技術問題,最終雙方同意取消交易。

市場人士指,項目重新於市場放售,結果宏安極速承接,涉約4.3億元,料跟早前成交價非常接近。涉及物業為芬尼街3至9號,比鄰鰂魚涌站B出口,交通便利。物業地盤面積約4,200平方呎,若以地積比率10倍計算,即可建樓面約4.2萬平方呎,以此計算,每呎樓面地價約1萬餘元。

宏安近年亦有發展港島市區住宅,例如炮台山英皇道101號,主打兩房、三房,有望明年推售。該項目宏安地產夥拍管理荷蘭最大退休金的資產管理公司APG匯集基金合作,總投資額逾29億元。

投資者「越南朱」 料蝕約2.5

是次易手的芬尼街地盤,曾經獲批重建成1幢32層高酒店,涉及樓面面積約62,980平方呎,並已經完成一部分地基工程。項目曾由資深投資者吳鎮科持有,2018年獲有「越南朱」之稱的朱立基以6.78億元購入,料發展酒店,早前在市場低調放售,如今以約4.3億元沽出,相較4年半前,帳面勁蝕約2.48億元,蝕幅達37%。

事實上,朱立基在本港擁有逾百億元的地產物業,包括中上環擁有兩幢甲級商廈,亦持有山頂倚巒、西半山天匯等數以十億元計的豪宅物業,惟近月均先後放售物業,包括2017年以約8億元購入天后英皇道31至33號酒店項目,提供132間房,現時意向價6億元放盤,據悉早前亦曾獲財團洽購至尾聲。

沙田用地批建27層高住宅

永泰及萬科海外沙田顯和里地獲批建1幢27層高住宅、另有2層平台及1層低層地下,涉及可建總樓面約8.93萬方呎。該財團去年9月以7.8638億投得,當時每方呎樓面地價約8802元。

Dior租中環雲咸街多層舖 每月50萬

四大零售核心區中,以中環較多獲奢侈品牌租用。消息指,中環雲咸街多層舖位,獲國際品牌以每月約50萬元租用,作品牌旗下化粧品專門店。

市場消息指,中環雲咸街錄舖位租務成交,涉及地段52號地下至3樓,面積合共約4,550平方呎,以每月約50萬元租出,呎租約109元。該地段為藝廊集中地,而商舖目前亦由藝廊以約78萬元租用,而新租金較舊租平約36%。

藝廊集中地 呎租約109

消息稱,新租客為名牌皮具Dior,而是次租用多層舖位,作品牌旗下化粧品專門店。據悉,該品牌在港亦有不少化粧品專門店,包括位於中環國金商場等,以往較少租用街舖。相信因是次物業屬多層連街舖,較具氣派,加上地段格調不錯,配合品牌風格。

近月核心區舖位租務方面,商戶主要為本地品牌,而中環因屬核心商業區,亦有本地消費支持,最能吸引國際品牌落戶。包括中建大廈地下一舖位,近月以每月50萬元租出,該舖位處皇后大道中及畢打街交界,屬優質地段。新租客為瑞士高級鐘錶品牌寶璣 (Breguet),而舖位對上租客同為鐘錶店。

至於最大樓面租務,則為皇后大道中54至56號豐樂行多層舖,涉及地下至3樓,面積合共約8,735平方呎,以每月約100萬元租出,新租客為Swatch Group,將作旗下名錶Omega旗艦店。

另外,較早前同區皇后大道中8號地下及1樓,面積合共約6,000平方呎,獲藝廊以每月約100萬元租用,可見中環較能夠吸引高格調租戶。

iCITY備1.8萬呎園林平台 料年內入伙

和宜合道及青山公路的工業區,位置在葵涌邨東北面跟石蔭邨之間,整個範圍面積約22.9公頃,目前規劃為「其他指定 (商貿)」用途,大方向是轉型作為商貿發展。據規劃署在2020年的統計,區內工廈以倉庫為主要用途,佔整體樓面使用比例逾半,但辦公室比例亦持續上升至約2成,亦陸續有數據中心、展覽室及商舖陸續出現。

目前區內至少有8個獲批或重建中的工廈項目,合共能提供約180萬平方呎樓面,最主流是作非污染工業的新式工廈,以及數據中心為主。當中就包括金朝陽旗下的打磚坪街的iCITY,項目由發展商在2015年初以約4.5億元購入,並重建成20層高新式工廈,分為第1及第2座,重建樓面約19萬平方呎,分拆成601個單位出售,每伙建築面積介乎335至510平方呎,屬於中小型工作室戶型。項目設計獨特不但戶戶設獨立洗手間,並且以1.8萬平方呎的園林平台作為賣點,預計項目將於今年入伙。

萬國數據3項目 涉75.9萬呎樓面

除了iCITY外,同區另外亦有3個新式工廈重建項目,例如南豐計劃重建打磚坪街94至100號工業地盤,建23層高的新式工廈,總樓面約19萬平方呎。另一方面,近年數據中心需求殷切,吸引不少財團收購區內工廈以重建成為數據中心,當中萬國數據 (09698) 便在區內3個工廈重建項目,均是計劃重建成為數據中心,涉及約75.9萬平方呎樓面。

其中包括大圓街2至10號美羅工業大廈,現為約47年樓齡舊式工廈,申請以地積比率11.7倍重建,將建成22層高的數據中心,總樓面涉約23.5萬平方呎;而打磚坪街57至61號中央工業大廈,計劃重建成20層高數據中心,總樓面約27.7萬平方呎。

The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan shutters Hong Kong office


The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan is closing down an Asia equity investment team in Hong Kong, resulting in the loss of five jobs. 

The C$247 billion (US$182 billion) fund is shutting the country-focused stock picking teams in Asia and will concentrate that work from its Toronto head office, according to a statement Tuesday. 

“Asia continues to be core to our global investment strategy, including China where our focus is on building value in our existing portfolio,” according to the statement. Teachers’ added it will continue to invest in private and public assets in China via fund partners, and in public companies through its global investment teams. 

Reuters earlier reported on the team closing. 

The Canadian investor said last year it plans to move into new offices in Singapore with capacity for about 45 to 50 people as part of an Asia push, surpassing the 35 staff in the fund’s Hong Kong office at the time. The pension manager has paused direct investing in private assets in China, people familiar with the matter said in January.

Hong Kong private home prices in March rose for the third month and edged up 1.4 percent from February, as the reopened border with China and a raft of new launches by property developers at attractive prices boosted market sentiment. 

The rise in home prices last month followed a revised 2.4 percent gain in February, official data showed on Wednesday. 

Prices in the financial hub, ranked by survey company Demographia as the least affordable city in the world for a thirteenth consecutive year, rebounded 5 percent in the first quarter after a 15 percent drop in 2022. 

Transaction volume, however, is expected to soften in April after the earlier spike, as the earlier rush to buy has subsided and the more recent volatility in the global markets has deterred some potential buyers. 

A property agency expected April transactions would decline 30 percent from March. 

"In the near term, factors including high interest rates and inventory in the primary market will still weigh on the home price recovery, I expect prices in the second quarter will see bigger pressure," an agent said. 

The fall in 2022 was the first annual drop since 2008, with the property market dragged down by a weak economic outlook, rising mortgage costs and a Covid-19 outbreak at the beginning of the year.

Hong Kong home prices rise for the third straight month to the highest level since September

The home price index rose 1.35 per cent in March to 351.4, the highest since 360.3 in September, official data showed

Nearly 120 housing projects with a total 40,291 units are expected to launch this year, one of the largest stockpiles in nearly two decades, according to a property agency

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices rose to a six-month high in March, but the pace of growth slowed from the previous month, official data showed as the property market continued to be hobbled by high interest rates and rising stock of unsold new flats.

The Rating and Valuation Department’s home price index climbed 1.35 per cent to 351.4, the highest since 360.3 in September. It was the third straight monthly increase, with gains in Hong Kong’s secondary market adding up to about 5 per cent for the year.

In February, the index gained 2.22 per cent, the most in 33 months, reflecting an improvement in sentiment as Hong Kong and mainland China steadily dropped Covid-19 pandemic curbs.

“There are still negative factors in the market, which are limiting the price rebound, including the higher interest rate environment and the high volume of unsold new units,” an agent said.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority late last month 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.

The lifting of travel restrictions in early February between Hong Kong and the mainland had boosted hopes that wealthy Chinese buyers would return to the city to inspect homes for purchase, while companies would have an added incentive to expand or set up operations in the city, potentially bringing in more talent and increasing the tenant pool.

March was also the first full month of a property tax cut, whereby ad valorem stamp duty was reduced to HK$100 for homes worth up to HK$3 million, instead of homes worth up to HK$2 million previously. The tax cut, which is implemented on a sliding scale, applies to homes worth HK$10 million or below, giving a boost particularly to first-time homebuyers.

Last month, overall home sales reached a 20-month high of 6,690 units, according to a property consultancy. Sales of new homes surged to a 16-month high of 1,787 units, more than double the 700 or so transactions in each of the preceding five months.

Large homes saw smaller price increases, while smaller abodes saw bigger gains. Prices of units with an area of at least 100 square metres rose 0.78 per cent, while prices of smaller units between 40 sq metres and 99.9 sq metres gained 1.32 per cent, official data showed.

Meanwhile, as many as 119 new private housing projects with a combined 40,291 units are expected to launch this year, one of the largest stockpiles in nearly two decades, according to another property agency.

“We expect residential prices to trend softer in the coming months as transaction momentum turns slower due to pent-up demand being digested,” another agent said. “Most recently launched projects offered competitive prices that are only at a slight premium, if not below, prevailing secondary prices. As more potential home buyers are diverted to the primary market, the demand for second-hand properties could be under pressure.”

As developers compete for potential homebuyers, they have been extending various perks and incentives, effectively limiting price increases. This was likely another reason for the slower growth for lived-in home prices, market observers said.

“Some existing homeowners are not willing to cut home prices, while buyers are not willing to offer more, leading some to turn to the primary market,” the agent said.

皇后大道中鋪每月40萬租出 較疫市前跌20% 同仁堂進駐

近期零售商積極承租核心區鋪,中環皇后大道中一個地鋪,剛以每月40萬租出,平均呎租400元,租客為北京同仁堂,亦是兩地通關後,中環區內首錄中藥保健品進駐,租金則較疫市跌低約20%。

上述為中環皇后大道中47號地鋪,建築面積約1000方呎,多年來先後由Crocs鞋店、Body Shop承租,經歷樓市高低潮,近年一直由Body Shop短租,租金亦大減。隨着中港兩地全面通關,該地鋪頻錄準租客洽商,市場消息透露,近日剛租予北京同仁堂,月租40萬,平均呎租400元,較目前的短期租金升1倍,比較疫市前則低約20%。

平均呎租400

租金見調整 帶動巨舖租務轉活

日資品牌紛落戶核心區 無印良品50萬租皇室堡

租金調整後,大樓面舖位租務轉趨活躍,特別日資品牌趁機擴充,銅鑼灣皇室堡地庫1.5萬平方呎樓面,原由時裝等租用,現獲無印良品承租,月租估計約50萬元。另GU時裝早前透露銅鑼灣及旺角開分店,包括:希慎廣場約6,000呎舖,月租料約50萬元。業界認為租金調整後,大樓面舖位租務續旺。

整體商舖租務轉好,而過去兩年核心區較少大樓面租務,近來亦有所加快。消息指,銅鑼灣皇室堡商場地庫全層,面積達1.5萬平方呎,以每月約50萬元租出。商場地庫原本大部分樓面,由日本連鎖時裝GU租用,而其他樓面租客包括有餐廳、時裝等,現時多個租戶已遷出,新租客正在裝修中。

市場人士透露,新租客為日式生活百貨連鎖店無印良品,因店舖面積較大,料售賣品牌旗下服裝、家品及文具等。無印良品於銅鑼灣區利舞臺廣場設兩層旗艦店,品牌早年亦於同區世貿中心設分店,而因世貿中心近年進行大型翻新工程,無印良品遷出,如今於皇室堡開分店。

近期大樓面舖位租務增,不少亦來自日本品牌,包括上星期迅銷集團旗下GU,將分別於銅鑼灣及旺角開新分店,其中結束皇室堡分店後,將搬至希慎廣場1樓舖位,面積約5,984平方呎,預計今年中開業,市場估計月租約50萬元。

GU約60 租旺角友誠兩層

該舖亦曾為另一時裝店GAP租用,月租料約100萬元,疫情期間品牌遷出,舖位作其他品牌的期間限定店之用,預計是次租金,較舊租平一半。至於另一新舖址為旺角友誠商業中心1及2樓,面積約7,018平方呎,月租料約60萬元,是次成交則屬品牌擴充。

旺角友誠商業中心總樓面面積逾8萬平方呎,業主去年為物業基座商舖部分進行大型翻新,包括外牆、電梯大堂等,近期正式完工,部分舖位已獲承租。

年初通關初期,已有日資藥粧店松本清,租用旺角雅蘭中心地下及1樓,約1萬平方呎舖位,市場估計月租近100萬元。直至現時全面通關,大樓面舖位租務有所加快。

首季45萬呎樓面租出 13年高

本年首季受中港正式通關,商舖租務轉旺。據一間外資代理行統計近十多年的季度商舖租務涉及樓面,今年首季錄得45萬平方呎商舖樓面租出,較去年第四季高5成,以季度計,為2010年統計以來13年最高,比起零售高峰期2011至2012年仍要高,可見通關生效後,零售商紛紛重啟租舖部署,而近期相繼有大樓面舖位租出個案,相信次季仍能保持高數字。

該行代理分析,去年核心區商舖租金,已跌至沙士時期水平,而同時目前市民消費力相當不俗,故品牌把握低租金機會,重新擴充,特別大樓面舖位以往涉及租金高昂,動輒逾百萬元,如今租金回落,商戶認為「計到數」,故願意租用大樓面舖位。他預計,巨舖租務可望持續增加,除了零售店外,中式酒樓等仍有擴充空間。

疫後商戶「洗牌」 生活百貨吸引力增

疫情期間,與生活品味相關的租戶,例如家品店、運動服裝等明顯擴充,本地市民生活模式有所轉變下,相關商戶近期仍有擴充動作,令核心區商戶趨多元化。

過去3年受疫情衝擊,極少旅客到訪下,核心區整體租務個案不多,亦因消費由本地市民支持,加上封關無外遊機會,故一些與疫情生活有關的商戶需求上升。過去兩年,本港核心區主要商舖租務,多來自運動品牌、生活品味、家品店,以及咖啡店等商戶較積極。市民關注健康,運動成生活一部分,令相關商戶近兩年租舖個案增。

現時全面通關,旅客重返下,近期最積極租舖開業為本地藥粧商戶。至於以往非常積極搶位的奢侈品,則仍相對審慎,缺乏大幅擴充下,核心區舖位租金仍在相對低位。

至於生活百貨、家品等商戶,仍有擴充活動,反映疫後這類與本地消費有關商戶,需求仍然沒有下跌,加上對旅客來說亦有一定吸引力。

核心區舖租務 組合趨多元化

整體而言,過去數月核心區舖位租務上,可發現整體商戶組合比以前多元化。在十年前旅客消費高峰期,鐘錶珠寶等奢侈品,幾乎佔據核心區大部分商舖,以目前銅鑼灣羅素街為例,近期有大型餐廳開業,早前地段2000廣場地下及樓上,獲醫療集團租用,相信在奢侈品未完全回復信心下,核心區商戶種類可望趨向多元化。

4大核心區舖位 餐廳半年增54間

商舖租金仍處低位,吸引餐飲業租舖。統計顯示,4大核心區 (尖沙咀、旺角、銅鑼灣、中環) 舖位餐廳數目,較半年前增加54間。

以往核心區舖位租金高企,餐飲業較難負擔高租金,並受防疫措施影響生意。據一間本地代理行統計,今年首季本港4大核心零售區,共有2,021間餐廳,較去年第三季高出54間,當中以尖沙咀及旺角區增加數量最多,而餐館較小食、咖啡店等增加數量明顯較高,反映在防疫令解除後,餐飲業亦趁機擴充。

因核心區一綫地段租金調整,近期仍有餐飲業落戶個案。包括近日尖沙咀海防道38至40號中達大廈地下入口連1樓,面積約3,500平方呎,以每月約20萬租出,新租客點心店,租金較前租客跌約5成。

灣仔皇悅酒店地庫舖 租50

至於邊綫區,亦同區錄餐飲業擴充,如灣仔軒尼詩道33號皇悅酒店地庫,舖位面積約10,613平方呎,月租約50萬元,據了解,該舖位交吉近5個月,新租客為跨國餐飲品牌,將經營中菜餐廳。

隨着旅客重返,加上本地消費仍然理想,故不少餐廳仍有擴充空間。事實上,近期核心區一綫地段仍有大型餐飲開業,如去年以約100萬元,租用銅鑼灣羅素街兩層舖位,以變形金剛作主題的餐廳,亦正式開業,吸引不少旅客及本地市民前來。

At least 8,000 buyers to vie for 160 homes at Sun Hung Kai Properties’ Tai Po project as China’s ‘golden week’ starts


University Hill development hits the market on Saturday with discounted prices in place and amid a surge of Chinese visitors expected in the city

At least 500 buyers will be vying for every unit on offer, according to agents.

 At least 8,000 potential buyers will compete for 160 homes at Sun Hung Kai PropertiesUniversity Hill development in Tai Po, which officially hits the market on Saturday with discounted prices in place and amid a surge of Chinese visitors expected in the city.

The sale coincides with the start of a five-day holiday known as a golden week of tourism in mainland China, with more than 600,000 Chinese tourists expected to visit Hong Kong.

At least 500 buyers will be vying for every unit on offer from the city’s most valuable developer, according to agents. Of the 160 units to be sold, 150 will be available on open sales and 10 via bidding.

The homes will be sold at prices lower than those last year at the launch of the first phase of the same development at 63 Yau King Lane in Pak Shek Kok.

University Hill’s first price list discount is about 7 per cent below the prices listed on the first batch of flats at Silicon Hill and about 10 per cent lower than new projects in the same area,” a property agent said.

The units on offer are priced from HK$4.37 million (US$557,000) to HK$11.05 million, or from HK$13,357 to HK$19,321 per square foot.

Last year flats at nearby developments The Horizon and Centra Horizon were offered for between HK$13,339 and HK$22,368 per square foot.

Other agent sources said the number of buyers who registered interest for the project could be as high as 50,000. Sun Hung Kai Properties did not reply to the Post’s enquiries.

“Those who are under a talent scheme and university students with a certificate have an additional 5 per cent price cut, so that’s as much as a 12 per cent discount,” another agent said.

Agents also noted the development’s good location, close to the Education University of Hong Kong and the proposed Pak Shek Kok railway station of the East Rail line.

“Investors are showing a huge interest in its potential for good return on investment,” the agent said.

The full reopening of the borders between Hong Kong and mainland China has buoyed hopes of a recovery for the battered property market.

The return of mainland Chinese tourists to Hong Kong could mean more potential buyers of homes at a time of a potential supply glut in the city. An estimated 40,291 units are expected to hit the market this year, one of the largest annual inventories on record, according to a property agency.

Given the huge stockpile, developers have been extending sweeteners and incentives to homebuyers.

Analysts have also noted that high mortgage costs are tempering buying interest for homes despite pent-up demand and a tax cut, announced in February, for homes worth HK$10 million and below.

Hong Kong’s Travel Industry Council expects 600,000 mainland Chinese visitors the coming week, as it is the first “golden week” holiday in three years after the outbreak of the coronavirus in early 2020.

Some 840,000 mainland visitors arrived in Hong Kong in the first three days of the Labour Day holiday in 2019, a five-year high at the time. About 600,000 mainlanders visited in the same three-day period in 2018.

通關後工商舖買賣回升 舖市看俏

受惠通關,3月整體工商舖買賣上升,後市上,業界人士看好商舖前景。

根據一間代理行資料所得,2023年3月全港共錄501宗工商舖物業買賣登記,較2月大升84%,連升3個月並創近9個月新高,並為期內首度一口氣連環突破400及500宗水平;至於月內買賣合約總值為75.65億元,按月大增逾1.1倍,為近3個月來最多。

工廈買賣反彈1.2

按工商舖3個物業類別劃分,工廈3月登記量升幅強勁,登記宗數為近14個月最多,以宗數計蟬聯登記量最多的類別,佔整體比例增至58.7%。3月全月工廈共錄得294宗買賣登記,按月上升近1.2倍;而月內涉及買賣登記金額更達27.85億元,按月增近2.5倍,創近8個月最多,主因受惠月內有多宗逾千萬元的拆售登記所撑起。

商廈買賣登記量方面,大有追落後的情況,3月市場突然發力,大舉入市商廈搶佔先機。總結3月全月商廈共錄得104宗買賣登記,較2月的45宗大升1.3倍,為3類物業中升幅最凌厲者。此外,在中高低價商廈登記量均錄得全綫上升帶動下,3月買賣登記金額急增逾2倍,創近3個月最多的19.73億元,當中月內錄得10宗5,000萬元或以上的大額登記,反映高價買賣明顯轉活。

至於店舖表現方面,雖然升幅不及工廈及商廈,但連續數月維持穩定升勢,反映店舖市道穩步向好。3月店舖買賣登記終破百宗,共錄得103宗,按月再增13%,相信後市仍有力反覆向好。至於3月店舖買賣登記金額則升31%,錄得28.07億元,連升3個月兼創近8個月最多。

該行代理指出,成交增主要受惠工廈拆售及商廈登記追落後,展望後市,該代理料4月因假期較多,影響交投,料5、6月登記量回升,預期次季合共可錄約1,300宗,按季有力升約26%。

季度表現上,另一代理表示,今年首季錄得約890宗工商舖買賣成交,對比去年第4季增長25%,涉及總金額則錄得約195.64億元,按季上升約74%。因應通關效應,市場憧憬旅遊業及相關餐飲及零售業可隨之受惠,基座商場及大型商舖項目備受市場關注,季內涉及基座商場及大型舖位項目受追捧,包括啟德1號基座,以約6.5億元易手。

首季商舖金額 升近1

後市方面,代理指,第1季商舖市場共錄得約214宗買賣個案,按季輕微減少約3%,但成交金額就見增加,首季錄得93.96億元,按季大幅上升95%,反映舖位大額成交個案增多。代理預計通關效應下,加上香港新近發放首輪消費券,更會帶旺零售及餐飲行業,對舖位買賣交投量有帶動作用。
