六财团入标抢中环地王大发展商主导合资角逐减风险

有力挑战本港最贵重地王宝座的中环新海滨地皮、于昨日截标，共截收6份标书，入标财团以本地大型发展商为主，因项目投资金额庞大，不少财团以合组形式减低发展风险。消息人士指，其中九仓置业就伙拍华懋及港铁合作竞逐。

中环商业地王于昨日截标，据地政总署发言人表示，共截收6份标书。是次入标财团以本地大型发展商为主，包括长实、新地、恒基、九仓置业、华懋，信和则伙拍招商局置地及鹰君竞投。

市场人士透露，中环大地主置地集团亦有入标，本报昨日就有关消息向置地查询，该集团回应指，不会对该项目作出评论。

梁志坚：审视时间长做法合理

恒基发言人表示，该集团以独资形式入标竞投；九仓置业表示，集团以财团组合入标，惟现阶段未能公布财团合组资料。华懋集团指出，该集团以合组财团形式竞投，惟现阶段未能公布财团资料。消息人士指，九仓置业就伙拍华懋及港铁入标。

九仓置业系内会德丰地产主席梁志坚表示，该项目反应不俗，对市场具正面作用，发展商之间竞争在所难免，料各大财团「各自计数」出价，该项目最大优点为位处中环海滨区，希望可成功夺地，他亦指，该项目投资金额笼大，并着重审视设计，故项目最迟于今年11月才公布招标结果，亦属合理做法。

是次项目採「双信封」形式招标，除着重出价外，亦要评定其设计方案，两者比重各佔50%，就算标价最高，惟设计未能配合整体规划，都未必可成功投得，消息指，部分发展商已搜罗全世界出名的建筑师为地皮作设计，亦有发展商更邀请多达一家建筑商以上，希望取得最佳方案，以图脱颖而出。

同时，亦因项目审标书时间较长，卖地章程显示地皮最迟可于今年11月12日才公布结果，距离截标时间长达5个月。

邀国际知名建筑商设计

有测量师指出，项目採「双信封」形式招标，料流标机会低，每方呎地价约2.3万至2.5万，市场估值约370亿至400亿。另一测量师称，部分发展商合组形式竞投，以减低发展风险，料每呎地价约3.43万，估值约547亿。

「双信封」招标 同步交设计

中环海滨商业地于昨日截标，该项目採「双信封」形式招标，其设计方案亦为决胜关键，昨日于佐敦永安九龙中心的递交资料现场，录得多家财团递交设计模型。从外型所现，模型摆放在及腰的大型箱子中，面积庞大。

设计方案佔五成比重

中环海滨商业地为市场近期焦点所在，该项目截标形式有别于以往做法，其中，出价金额标书截标地点为金鐘政府总部，惟项目设计模型则设于佐敦永安九龙中心。就本报昨日于现场所见，该项目录至少两组财团递交设计模型，更需要动用6位男士小心翼翼一起运送。

该商业地採「双信封」形式，除着重出价外，亦要评定其设计方案，两者比重各佔50%，故此就算标价最高，惟设计未能配合整体规划，都未必可成功投得。

Hong Kong’s homebuying frenzy reaches down to small flats, as customers snap up Vanke’s Vau Residence in Ho Man Tin

Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong) sold 54 units, or 98 per cent of the 55 flats on offer at the Vau Residence project in Ho Man Tin as of 8pm, agents said

The developer received 530 bids for the offer, or up to nine buyers vying for each available flat, according to a spokesperson

Hong Kong homebuyers returned in droves to snap up new flats in Ho Man Tin on Saturday, showing confidence in the city’s property market amid the improving local coronavirus situation and early signs of economic recovery.

Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong), a unit of China’s third-largest developer China Vanke, sold 54 of the 55 units on offer at its Vau Residence project in Ho Man Tin as of 8pm, agents said, adding that they expect the remaining two units to sell out by the end of the day.

Around 530 bids were received for the units, or up to nine buyers vying for each available flat, according to a spokesperson.

“Homebuyers are showing more confidence in the property market,” property agent said. “The coronavirus situation in the city has improved and we’re seeing more days without any new local infections. We’re also seeing early signs of an economic recovery. As the vaccination rate picks up, there are hopes that the border between mainland China and Hong Kong will reopen soon.”

Prospective homebuyers are also rushing to buy new flats as they are worried that home prices may increase over the coming months, the agent added. There is growing optimism that Hong Kong home prices will climb further this year as the city’s economy shows further signs of recovery.

Earlier this month, US investment bank Goldman Sachs said it expected a 5 per cent rise in home prices this year, while property agent has forecast a 15 per cent increase. Hong Kong’s economy expanded 7.9 per cent in the first three months of the year, the fastest quarterly pace in 11 years, beating economists’ forecasts and bolstering investors’ confidence in the city’s property market.

The first batch of Vau Residence flats on offer consisted of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, ranging from 209 square feet to 388 sq ft (36 square metres) and priced from HK$4.99 million to HK$9.46 million (US$1.22 million), after discounts of up to 16 per cent.

The average price was HK$24,647 per square foot, about 3 per cent more than the flats at Seven Victory Avenue, a two-year-old development within walking distance of Vau Residence. The units at Seven Victory Avenue were selling for HK$23,820 per square foot, according to listings on property agency’s website.

Vanke will also offer a cash reward of HK$28,000 to each of the first 50 Vau Residence buyers who have received their Covid-19 vaccinations before August 31, joining in the campaign among property developers and Hong Kong’s conglomerates to help boost the city’s vaccination rate. Vanke said it expects the cash reward to cost it about HK$1.4 million in total.

The success at Vau Residence followed two successive sell-out weekends at New World Development’s The Pavilia Farm III residential complex in Tai Wai. The developer has sold 2,769 out of a total of 3,090 apartments in the entire project, for a total haul of HK$33.1 billion.

Another 173 units of the latest batch of apartments go on sale on Sunday, for which New World has received 30,500 bids, translating to 176 buyers bidding for every unit.
