数据中心租金逆市上升 代理：按年幅度逾5%

近期火炭工厦地皮高于市场估值上限近一倍成交，买家为中移动，将重建数据中心自用，事实上，数据中心需求殷切，租金亦逆市上升，代理指出，过去两年，市场上新增400万方呎数据中心楼面，即使过去一年，在示威及疫市下，数据中心租金仍然逆市上升，目前最新呎租20元至35元，按月上升5%至10%。

疫情下市民生活模式趋向改变，推动数据中心需求，代理表示，目前市场上的数据中心呎租20至35元，视乎是现有工厦作改装或是全新兴建的数据中心。

平均呎租20至35元

数据中心主要来自厂厦改建或重建，以及政府提供的土地，目前，市场上可以改建的工厦愈来愈少，若有适合项目，租金必然录得增长，幅度高达10%。数据中心租期向来较长，每年皆录得3%至4%的租金增长。

代理表示，儘管过去一年受负面因素影响，工商铺投资物业租售价下跌，但数据中心租售价逆市造好，按年升幅约5至10%，过去两年，市场录400万方呎数据中心的吸纳量，需求殷切。

代理发表的亚太区投资者意向调查显示，区内30%的受访者年内考虑购买数据中心，较2019年的18%大幅增长。

两年吸纳量400万呎

代理表示，数据中心需要严格监管制度和营运要求，直接投资较困难，买入股权投资成为首选。有投资者透过伙拍经验丰富的营运商，以增加行业经验。

该代理行指出，由全球流动数据用量增长，香港的IT总运力快速增长，由2019年第一季的299.9兆瓦增至2020年第一季的379.6兆瓦，按年录27%增长。在未来数年，预计将逾215兆瓦的运力投入香港市场。

The third wave of Covid-19 infections continued to weigh on Hong Kong's property market, as secondary market transactions at 10 blue-chip housing estates plunged by 28 percent to 10 over the past weekend from a week before, according to property agency.

In Lai Chi Kok, a 554-sq-ft flat at Mei Foo Sun Chuen changed hands for HK$8.26 million, or HK$14,909 per sq ft, after HK$340,000 was cut from the original asking price.

In the primary market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) released 50 flats in the second price list of Regency Bay in Tuen Mun yesterday, at an average price of HK$17,991 per sq ft after discounts, 4 percent higher than the first price list.

SHKP has received around 1,000 checks for the 138 units in the first two price lists, making them together six times oversubscribed.
