甲厦空置率16.7%创历史新高 外资代理行:首季丢空楼面达1470万方呎

甲厦供过于求,今年首季新增供应面积达92.52万方呎,导致整体空置率再创历史新高,达1470万方呎,空置率16.7%,租金按季跌1.2%;不过,本季吸纳量高达61.2万方呎,为2018年第三季以来最高水平。

有外资代理行指,今年首季新落成的甲厦项目,预租进展缓慢,整体空置楼面达1470万方呎,空置率创历史新高,即16.7%,供应过剩导致租金按季跌1.2%,连续第20季下降。

租金连续第20季下跌

不过,市场吸纳量改善,租赁按季增35%,达130万方呎,净吸纳量达61.2万方呎,自2018年第3季以来最高,除中环外,大多数核心区均录净吸纳量,港岛东7.16万方呎,2022年第4季以来首次增长。东九地标甲厦AIRSIDE录数宗大租赁,带动区内净吸纳量23.33万方呎。

该行代理表示,近三分一新租赁由银行金融业推动,政府机构亦是好租客,展望未来,企业继续控制成本,供应增加,预计空置升租金受压。

去年全年零售业销货额增长16.2%,1月较去年同期升0.9%,2月份升1.9%,为连续15个月上升,租赁需求导致空置率按季跌2.5个百分点至6.6%,为2019年第四季以来最低。4核心区空置率均个位数,2018年第二季以来首次出现。

核心区铺空置率录个位数

中环空置率跌幅最大,下降5.3个百分点至6.6%,尖沙咀及旺角空置率分别降2.9及2.3个百分点,至5.8%和7.4%。铜锣湾空置率维持不变,空置率下降导致核心区街铺租按季升2.7%,2022年第3季以来最大增幅。

该行另一代理表示,选择减少,首季租赁势头减弱,部分食肆缩小规模,核心区铺租升2.7%,为2022年第3季度以来最大按季增幅。该行另一代理表示,仓库空置率上升0.2个百分点至5.6%,租户缩规模,仓租按季跌1.1%,自2020年第4季首录跌幅。

代理行:工商铺611宗买卖按季跌11%

有本港代理行资料显示,第一季市场共录约611宗工商铺买卖,总金额约187.83亿元,按季分别跌约11%及7%,季度成交量更较过去20年逆境时期更淡静,创有纪录以来最低交投量。

宗数有纪录以来新低

今年第一季工商铺市况欠佳,发展商及投资者积极出货,议价空间扩大,有见减息周期将至,预测第2季工商铺量升价跌,料交投量约750宗,金额约145亿元,租售价维持现水平,或最多跌幅约5%。

该行代理表示,今季工商铺成交宗数为有纪录以来新低,对比2003年沙士、2008年金融海啸、2013年工商铺加辣,至近年动乱及疫情期间表现更差。疫情期间的季度最低成交量曾录约660宗,今季比其进一步减约7%。

该代理表示,北上消费成风,餐饮业受拖累,加上政府拟落实推行垃圾徵费,加重餐饮及零售业营运成本,令本身经营困难的店铺倍添压力,有机会出现新一轮结业潮。

料食肆现新结业潮

该行另一代理表示,首季录约131宗铺位成交,历来最低,宗数跌势自2022年第3季起,对比去年第4季约173宗跌约24%,按年同期大跌逾40%,金额受愉景新城商场以约40.20亿易手所带动,录约71.90亿元,按季增约30%,若扣除该大额交易,按季减约23%。

该行另一代理表示,首季共录约122宗写字楼成交,较第4季约128宗为低,按年约35%跌幅,自2023年第1季后连续4季下跌,连续7个季度宗数低于200宗。金额共约85.71亿元,若扣除中环盈置大厦,季内金额仅录约21亿,为2022年第3季后新低。

该行另一代理表示,首季共录约358宗工厦成交,按季轻微跌约7%,总金额约30.22亿,按季跌约35%,量稳价跌。

旧楼有价 汉口大厦获批作商住用

尖沙咀的商业用地供应相对罕有,而且贵为核心商业区之一,区内旧楼价值高,因此一般而言,发展商透过收购旧楼以增加在区内的土地储备。据本报粗略统计,该区重建步伐积极,现时至少有9个重建项目正在进行,涉约112万平方呎楼面,当中由新世界 (00017) 或相关人士持有的汉口大厦,于今年初获批建商住项目。

9项目重建 增建112万呎楼面

根据统计,区内现时至少9个重建项目正在进行,涉及楼面约112万平方呎,其中有8个属于旧楼收购重建项目,其中由新世界或相关人士持有的汉口大厦,于年初获城规会批准重建1幢28层高的商住大厦,项目拟以地积比率约12倍重建,将提供110伙分层住宅、办公室、及商店,总楼面涉约138,791平方呎。

项目于去年3月进行强拍,并由新世界或相关人士成功以底价约21.34亿元统一物业业权,以重建后的总楼面计算,每呎楼面地价约1.5万元。

香檳大厦改建 料扩展恒地版图

至于另一龙头发展商亦积极在区内扩大其商业王国,由恒地 (00012) 收购多年的香檳大厦B座亦已在今年初完成强拍程序。项目于今年1月以底价约17.28亿元,成功由发展商统一业权。据发展商最新中期报告指,项目重建后的总楼面涉约14.7万平方呎。

值得留意的是,恒地积极扩展区内的版图,同系的美丽华商场及酒店正正位于香檳大厦旁边,预计若香檳大厦B座成功重建后,将会产生协同效应,并将有望扩展其原有逾200万平方呎楼面的商业王国。

事实上,各发展商积极收购区内旧楼,区内近年最大型的商业项目属于由海员俱乐部与帝国集团合作的前海员之家,日后会重建为1座40层高酒店,总楼面约34.7万平方呎,由发展商营运的酒店楼面涉约30万平方呎,另约5万平方呎楼面需预留给海员俱乐部作教堂及会所。

同时,乐风集团等于2022年亦就尖沙咀汉口道35至37号恕园大楼申请强拍,当时项目的现况市值逾6.3亿元,但因发展商最后成功收购项目全数业权,所以不需循强拍途径统一其业权。其后,项目于去年已获屋宇署批出建筑图则,并获准重建1幢21层高商厦,涉及总楼面约11.53万平方呎。

Debt-saddled Lai Sun Development sells stake in insurer AIA Group’s Hong Kong headquarters

A wholly-owned unit of the developer has sold its equity stake in the AIA Central skyscraper for HK$1.42 billion (US$180 million) in a bid to boost its liquidity

Lai Sun Development was saddled with total liabilities of more than HK$34.69 billion for the six months ended January 31, according to its interim results

A wholly-owned unit of Lai Sun Development Company, a Hong Kong property firm, has sold its equity stake in the AIA Central skyscraper for HK$1.42 billion (US$180 million) in a bid to boost its liquidity.

The move comes just a few weeks after the developer disposed of its interest in an industrial building in the city as it tries to overturn a mountain of debt.

Lai Sun said it has signed an agreement to sell its unit Peakflow Profits’ shareholdings in Bayshore Development, the owner of AIA Central, to Grand Design Development, which is a subsidiary of insurance giant AIA Group.

The 38-storey office tower at 1 Connaught Road Central has served as the regional headquarters of Asia’s biggest insurer since 2005.

Peakflow Profits is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lai Sun Development and an indirect, non-wholly-owned unit of Lai Sun Garment (International), according to an exchange filing.

AIA Group will hold the remaining equity stake in Bayshore Development after the disposal.

The proceeds of the sale will go towards repayment of bank loans and general working capital for Lai Sun Development, the companies said in a statement.

Lai Sun Development was saddled with total liabilities of more than HK$34.69 billion for the six months ended January 31, according to its interim results.

Each of the Lai Sun units is expected to record a loss of about HK$154.6 million on the disposal, according to the filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange.

“The disposal enables the vendor to realise the value of the property investment, thereby enhancing the cash flow and financial position of the LSG Group and the LSD Group as a whole,” the companies said, adding that the deal is “prudent” while the terms and conditions of the sale are “fair and reasonable”.

In mid-March, Lai Sun Development sold some of its property assets in the Wyler Centre Phase II, an industrial building in Kwai Chung, including the 20th floor and its parking spaces on the second floor, for HK$80 million – an estimated loss of HK$6 million.

The company said in a filing on March 15 that the sale represented its “commitment to its noncore asset disposal plan” aimed at enabling it to reallocate more financial resources to capital structure enhancement.

Among them, there were six deals worth more than HK$100 million, versus none in the fourth quarter of last year. Three new luxury homes were sold in the first quarter worth HK$1.27 billion, and 19 deals were reported in the secondary market for a total of HK$2.14 billion, the agency said.

A house was sold for HK$333.55 million at Mount Pokfulam yesterday, a project co-developed by Wang On Properties (1243) and Kam Wah Property.

And a 1,290-square-foot unit with a roof top at The Avenue 2 in Wachai was rented out for HK$115,000 per month by an expat.

The fourth price list had an average price of HK$24,289 per sq ft after discounts. CK Asset has increased prices four times since the initial price list, which hit a five-year low with an average of HK$ 21,968 per sq ft.

CK Asset executive director Justin Chiu Kwok-hung said that all flats for the phase 3B of Blue Coast have been put up for sale. The company plans to release the phase 3C in the middle of this year, hoping that selling prices will stay ahead of costs to ensure no more losses.

The average cost per sq ft for Blue Coast is HK$28,000.

A total of 413 units have been sold so far, around 98 percent of flats in the first round of sales. The developers have raked in HK$7.6 billion with an average transaction price of HK$24,000 per sq ft.

And Henderson Land (0012) has adjusted its price lists for Square Mile in Tai Kok Tsui to reduce discounts that were offered during the Spring Festival.

In other news, a two-bedroom flat in Euston Court in Hong Kong Island saw a HK$1.4 million loss when it was sold for HK$8 million. The seller had bought the unit for HK$9.4 million in March 2023, which depreciated roughly 15 percent in a year.
