疫市下核心区商厦交投仍然活跃，市场再录逾亿元大买卖，消息指，中环荆威广场高层全层以1.1亿连租约易手，每呎造价约2.5万，高市价约10%，租金回报约1.8厘，原业主持货15年帐面获利6339万，物业期间升值约1.36倍。

核心区商厦于疫市下频录大手买卖，市场消息透露，中环威灵顿街1号荆威广场高层全层以约1.1亿成交，以建筑面积4397方呎计，呎价约25017元；据业内人士指出，上述成交价属理想价，较市价稍高约10%，原业主于2007年底以约4660.82万购入，以易手价计，持货15年帐面获利约6339.18万，物业期间升值约1.36倍。

持货15年升值1.36倍

据地产代理指出，上址以连租约易手，以市值呎租约37元计，月租收入约16.2万，料买家享租金回报约1.8厘，儘管成交价较市价略高，惟因上址属该商厦唯一全层放盘，加上位处高层，坐享开扬景致，故吸引买家以进取价购入，料作自用用途，此外，该乙厦现今仅餘两伙放售盘，当中为较低楼层的全层单位，以每呎2.5万放售，另一放售盘为低层单位，以每呎约2.4万放售。

位处高层享开扬景致

据代理行资料显示，该乙厦于近期成交较疏落，对上一宗成交为该厦9楼1至2室，建筑面积1699方呎，于2020年5月以3200万售出，呎价约18835元。

至于该厦另一成交为21楼全层，建筑面4397方呎，于2019年1月以约1.18亿售出，呎价约2.7万。

该行代理表示，儘管受疫情及美国联储局连番大幅加息等利淡因素影响，商厦市场观望气氛笼罩，惟现今市场资金充仍充裕，中环亦为本港传统商业核心区，为各大企业及商家「兵家必争之地」，故即使以较进取价钱于区内「插旗」，于长綫而言仍然是物有所值，带动市场于疫市下频录大手买卖。

事实上，中环区内频录大手商厦买卖，大鸿辉日前以1.2亿沽出中环南华大厦中层全层，每呎造价约2.91万，创该厦历来呎价新高，买家为上海商业总会。

工商铺交投放缓 笋盘获吸纳

受多项因素影响，近日工商铺买卖稍为放缓，而市场出现个别笋盘，即获投资者吸纳。

据一间代理行资料显示，7月份工商铺买卖仅录得337宗成交，为过去7个月新低，与6月份444宗比较，则下调24%，而与去年同期比较亦下跌46%。7月份成交金额则录得约48亿元，较前月约79.11亿元下跌39%，而与去年同期约147.09亿元比较，跌幅达67%。在工商铺3个范畴中，以商厦表现最差，仅录得44宗买卖成交，与6月相比下降了23%，为今年度第2新低，而涉及金额约4.01亿元，较6月约10.02亿元急跌近6成，跌幅较整体工商铺为高，反映写字楼市场买卖交投最受影响。

海富中心银主盘 1.93亿易手

整体买卖淡静，而个别业主大幅降价即获承接。如港岛甲厦金鐘海富中心早前有银主盘出现，涉及2座13楼全层，面积约10,627平方呎，去年9月份沦为银主盘，由接管人推出放售，当时每呎叫价高达2.9万元。该层楼面新近以以1.93亿元易手，呎价约18,161元，创该厦近5年来的呎价新低纪录。原业主伟俊集团控股股东林清渠等，早于2004年10月以6,800万元购入，18年帐面升值1.83倍。追溯对上1次成交，为海富中心一座低层03A室，面积2,625平方呎，2017年以近4,525万元易手，呎价约1.7万元。在2017、2018年高峰期呎价曾达3万元。

新买家为汤臣集团，指出收购属策略性长期投资，预期收购将提升物业投资组合，产生稳定经常性租金收入，又指适当时候可能将该物业用作为香港之总部。

另一幢指标甲厦皇后大道中9号亦录低价成交，内房佳源集团 (02768) 以约9,500万元沽中环皇后大道中9号细单位，涉及中层03室，面积3,290平方呎，呎价28,875元，属低市价15%成交。佳源国际早于2013年以香港佳源集团有限公司名义，斥资约9,360万元买入上址，持货约9年，现转手帐面获利约140万元，但若连代理佣金、釐印费 (约398万元) 等费用计算，估计原业主实蚀近450万元离场。

商铺方面，核心区地段录低价成交，尖沙咀弥敦道111至181号栢丽购物大道D段地下7号铺连1楼，地铺面积651平方呎，1楼面积1,382平方呎，总楼面2,033平方呎，早前以约1.8亿元放售，据悉最终仅以约为6,300万元易手，低市价约4成，该铺现时由金行承租。

栢丽购物大道铺 低市价4成沽

分析指，由于预计息口即将上升，加上尚未完全通关，令投资市场表现仍一般，个别业主睇淡后市，愿大幅降价放售物业。同时间，市场资金仍多，不少投资者一直部署入市，只待业主大幅减价，当个别物业明显低市价1至2成放盘出现，即吸引投资者入市，反映市场资金仍充裕，日后若仍有「笋盘」出现，便容易获吸纳。

Admiralty Office Floor Sells at Five-Year Low Price in Slow Hong Kong Market

Hong Kong-listed developer Tomson Group is acquiring an office floor in Admiralty for HK$193 million ($25 million), clinching the asset at a unit price of HK$18,161 per square foot which is reportedly the lowest in five years amid muted market activity.

Known for its Tomson Riviera project in Shanghai’s Pudong district, Tomson said in a filing to the local bourse on Sunday that its tender for the 13th floor of the Admiralty Centre Tower II had been accepted, allowing it to pick up the 10,627 square foot (987 square metre) asset from receivers acting on behalf of electronic parts trader Wai Chun Group Holdings.

The floor in the 22-storey building atop the Admiralty MTR interchange had first been put on the market for a price equivalent to HK$29,000 per square foot late last year, before slashing the price for the grade A office asset to HK$20,000 early in 2022, according to a report by local financial daily HKET.

The Admiralty Centre Tower II floor has now found a buyer at 37 percent below its asking price from less than one year ago as average prices for grade A offices in Hong Kong have dropped by 31.1 percent from the market’s peak at the end-2018, according to a property agency. Office rents in Central are now 28.3 percent below their market peak in 2019, the agency said.

Prices Fall 49% Since 2019

The office floor sold at a price at the low end of market expectation as investors tend to offer lower bids for properties being sold by receivers and with Admiralty’s office investment market muted for the past year, according to an agent.

Smaller units in the 1980 vintage tower at 18 Harcourt Road have sold for higher prices this year with an 1,875 square foot office on the 17th floor finding a buyer at HK$25,493 per square foot in May, according to data compiled by another agency.

When compared to prices prior to Hong Kong’s social unrest in 2019 Hong Kong and the start of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the price for this latest deal was 49 percent less than the HK$29,924 per square foot fetched for a floor in the same building in April 2017, based on separate data from another local agency.

Admiralty Action

For Shanghai-based Thomson, which sources most of its profit from development of properties in mainland China and Macau, the strata office is an income-earning investment which could provide a future Hong Kong home for its business.

“It is expected that the acquisition will enhance the property investment portfolio of the group, generate stable recurring rental income and further strengthen the long-term development of the group in Hong Kong,” Tomson said. “The property may be used as the company’s headquarter in Hong Kong at an opportune time.”

The property generated HK$3.9 million in rental income last year, which was down 10 percent from the HK$4.35 million produced in 2020.

Just prior to conclusion of the tender, Wai Chun signed a three-year agreement to lease half of the floor, or 5,313.5 square feet at a monthly rate of HK$238,000, excluding other fees and charges. The agreement, which covers 1 November through 31 October 2025, also includes two car parking space leases for HK$5,000 per month.

Based on the HKEX filing, the strata office floor is currently held by Wai Chun’s lender, Industrial Bank Co Hong Kong Branch, for a December 2018 mortgage, with the trading firm having purchased the office floor in October 2004 for about HK$68 million.

Moving Closer to Future HQ

Tomson, which is currently based in the Wing On Centre tower in Sheung Wan, had announced late last month that it had leased a new office on the 17th floor of the Far East Finance Centre at 16 Harcourt Road, which is just a few steps from Admiralty Centre Tower II.

Its Admiralty acquisition adds to a series of discounted strata office deals in Hong Kong over the past year, including a HK$95 million purchase last month by an executive director of Cheung & Sons of unit at 9 Queen's Road Central from distressed mainland developer Jiayuan International Group.

Discounted prices and lease rates make Hong Kong’s office market attractive for investors looking to upgrade their workspace, an agent said, who expects the market to rebound during the remaining months of this year with the city’s core business district being a focus of activity.

“We have witnessed a sign of recovery from the downturn in the office market, and believe the positive net absorption will continue to improve in the second half of the year,” agent said. “Central will be the focus of market activities in the remaining part of the year.”

Developers hold price lines

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has not raised prices for the latest batch of homes at Novo Land while Henderson Land Development (0012) limited hikes to about 1.5-2 percent for new flats at One Innovale-Archway.

That was despite overwhelming responses from prospective buyers when homeowners in the secondary market continued to reduce asking prices.

SHKP released its first price list for Novo Land's phase 1B, involving 160 flats at an average price of HK$13,998 per square foot and with a minimum price of HK$3.41 million after discounts. Sales could start as soon as next week.

The list includes 10 studios, 54 one bedroom, 65 two bedroom and 31 three bedroom flats. Areas range from 253 to 694 square feet.

SHKP also unveiled a show flat yesterday.

Meanwhile, Henderson Land has added the remaining 88 flats at One Innovale-Archway to its sale schedule with an average price of HK$14,932 per sq ft, which is slightly higher than in the previous sale. Then it was HK$14,842.

That makes a total of 101 homes to be sold in the new round at One Innovale-Archway on Sunday, including 13 that will be sold via tender.

The developer has also applied for presale consent for phase 2, comprising 400 flats.

Against this action, second-hand property owners were trying to attract buyers by reducing prices.

According to a property agency, nearly 120 second-hand property owners in Tsing Yi want to sell at discounts ranging from four to 16 percent.

Elsewhere, the Planning Department has not objected to a Chinachem plan to increase the plot ratio in converting a site originally for a warehouse to residential use in Tsuen Wan.

The site covered 35,586 sq ft originally, and Chinachem plans to construct two 17-story residential buildings with lobbies, clubhouses and car parks with a total floor area of about 89,666 sq ft. That raises the plot ratio from 2.1 to 2.52 times.
