上环 88WL 打造综合大楼 合半零售
凯龙瑞旗下上环 88WL 近日入伙，属区内全新项目，业主将打造成综合大楼，既有传统写字楼成分，亦可作半零售用途。
88WL 位于上环永乐街及急庇利街，为上环传统商业地段，附近有中远大厦、西港城商场等。交通方面，由上环港铁站出口步行至该厦，仅需数分鐘，而附近德辅道中、干诺道中有多条巴士綫，亦邻近信德中心，来往澳门亦方便。饮食方面，附近有西港城、上环市政大厦等，有较平价餐饮，上班人士亦可选择步行至信德中心，基座提供多层商铺，有快餐店、酒楼及特色食肆，饮食配套充足。
逾2千呎地铺 餐厅预租
物业近日正式落成，大厦地下设有一铺位，面积约2,402平方呎，据悉已获餐厅预租，而大厦对面地铺，现多属传统海味店。
大厦楼高24层，地下大堂相当光猛，该厦提供4部升降机通往各楼层，肯定可有效疏导人流。每层面积约3,988至4,253平方呎，以港岛区商厦旧楼重建项目来说，楼面算有规模，提供充足空间予业户。
高层楼面 传统商业用途
业主有见同区半零售全新商厦并不多，故把大厦提供两类楼面，7至10楼每层面积约4,253平方呎，连同近200平方呎露台，适合作餐厅、半零售用途如健身室等，另值得一提，大厦15楼为空中花园，业主意向把该层连同其中一个全层用户一併承租。至于物业高层楼面，则作传统商业用途，每层可分间成6单位，面积由数百平方呎起，适合中小型企业。
景观方面，较高楼层可享有维港海景，而另一面则主要向上环楼景，尚算开扬。
翻查资料，物业前身为旧楼，2017至2018年期间，基金凯龙瑞分阶段收购，2017年凯龙瑞分别斥2.17亿及4.55亿元，购入永乐街80至82号、82至86号两全幢物业，其后2018年，再斥2.9亿元，购入上环永乐街88至90号全幢，3物业共涉约9.62亿元，凯龙瑞其后拆卸重建成商厦。

商铺租务转旺 市场频录大额个案
随着年初通关，旅客重返，带动商铺租务转旺，综合一间本港代理行资料，今年首5个月市场录得逾1,300宗商铺租务成交，按年升3成。
受惠通关效应，不少行业今年都积极扩充业务，市场频录大额租务个案。本港一间代理行综合市场资讯显示，年初以来月租50万元或以上的商铺租赁个案已达38宗，接近2019年疫情爆发前全年的40宗，反映商户承租店铺的步伐加快。首5个月市场录得逾1,300宗商铺租务成交，按年升3成。
CHANEL租铺 疫后港岛最大手
上半年市场先后录得多宗大额租务，其中铜锣湾渣甸街京华中心商铺部分录得租务成交，涉及物业地下、1楼及基座外墙，由国际名牌CHANEL租用，租期由2023年5月至2026年5月，其后共有两次续租3年权，换言之，最长达9年。
据悉，物业地下及1楼各约9,000平方呎，合共约1.8万平方呎。市场人士估计，是次涉及月租约400万元，呎租约222元，为疫后港岛区最大手商铺租务。
至于租户种类上，核心区逾50万元大手租务，不少属药房相关。例如尖沙咀广东道86至98号文利大厦地下1至3号铺，面积约4,275平方呎，曾经由冠亚名錶城、瑞士鐘錶品牌Juvenia承租，早前则由龙丰药房以月租约100万元租用，成交呎租234元。另外，铜锣湾景隆街7号全幢物业，以约80万元租出，而近日新租客已进行装修，据悉为内地金融机构安信信托。是次属首度来港开设地铺，租用多层物业，料可加强宣传。按物业面积约4,400平方呎计，呎租约182元。
经济復甦 长租租赁增加
除了核心区外，与本地消费相关的行业亦录得显著扩充，例如有超市以约120万元租用黄大仙龙蟠街一个铺位，是今年以来最大宗的超市租赁个案。
该行代理表示，长租租赁个案增加主要是由于本港经济復甦，市民消费力回升，不少租客预期租金水平将会在中短期内回升。为免在未来支付过多的租金成本，他们都愿意与业主洽谈，期望可以在租金大幅回升前签下较长租约，从而锁定租金支出。此外，大部分商户在復常后，因其业务能力都有所提升，令其扩充的意慾增加，所以业主更愿意达成长租协议，以赚取稳定的租金收入，提升商铺价值。假如业主有资金需要，他们都可以通过抵押物业，以获取更多的贷款。
代理预期，本港就业市场强劲，失业率维持在3%左右的低位，市民的收入保持稳定，所以本地的零售市道将会持续好转。受惠于香港的经济復甦，商户的经营能力上升，更愿意长期维持其业务，预料市场上将继续涌现更多长租和金额较大的租赁个案。

Finance firm not owner of Evergrande tower
Yunfeng Financial (0376), backed by Alibaba (9988) founder Jack Ma Yun, has clarified that it and its subsidiary YF Life Insurance International have "never acquired any property interest in YF Life Centre," an office tower formerly named China Evergrande Centre.
In a filing yesterday, it said YF Life, as a major tenant of the YF Life Centre in Wan Chai, has been renting some floors of the tower since 2000 and the owner had agreed to rename the building after negotiations.
But it did not identify the current owner.
Recent media reports on the change of the building's name drew speculation that the firm may have acquired the tower after receivers took it over from indebted developer China Evergrande (3333).

China Evergrande’s Hong Kong headquarters remains on auction block as Jack Ma-linked entity gets naming rights
Speculation of a sale after nine months arose after Yunfeng Financial announced a name change for the 27-storey tower in Wan Chai
Sole agent says no buyer has been found for the building, which Evergrande paid US$1.6 billion for in 2015
China Evergrande Group’s Hong Kong headquarters building – once a US$1.6 billion jewel in the developer’s crown – remains without a buyer after nine months on the auction block, despite speculation that a sale was imminent after an exchange filing revealed a name change for the tower.
Rumours of a sale flared up after Yunfeng Financial notified the Hong Kong stock exchange on June 23 that the 27-storey building, on Gloucester Road in Wan Chai, would change names from China Evergrande Centre to YF Life Centre.
YF Life Insurance International is a member of publicly listed Yunfeng Financial Group, whose major shareholders include Yunfeng Financial Holdings and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. Yunfeng is backed by Jack Ma, the co-founder of Alibaba Group Holding, which owns the Post.
China Evergrande Group’s creditors put the building on the market in September to recover their debt as the cash-strapped developer struggled to restructure about US$300 billion of liabilities. At the time, property experts said the asset would fetch at least HK$10.7 billion (US$1.36 billion).
Evergrande paid US$1.6 billion, or a then-record HK$36,187 per square foot, to acquire the building, then known as Mass Mutual Tower, from developer Chinese Estates Holdings in late 2015.
The building has not been sold, a property agency has been appointed by the property’s receivers as the sole agent for the sale, said when contacted by the Post on Monday.
It was “just simply changing the building name to the anchor tenant”, an agent said. No money was involved in the name change, the agent added.
YF Life leases about 70,000 square feet in the building, which has a gross floor area of about 345,423 sq ft, including a lobby, shops and office floors with a typical size of 12,000 to 14,000 sq ft, as well as 55 parking spaces.
The agency was appointed as the sole agent by the receivers from Alvarez and Marsal for the tender, but failed to garner any bids that met the requirements by the time the tender closed in late October.
YF Life, Yunfeng Financial and China Evergrande Group did not immediately respond to the Post’s requests for comments.
Evergrande in late May said its overdue debts, excluding onshore and offshore bonds, amounted to around 272.5 billion yuan (US$37.68 billion) as of April, according to a Shenzhen Stock Exchange filing concerning its major litigation and failure to repay due debts. Its overdue commercial bills amounted to around 246 billion yuan.
On the legal front, Evergrande is also facing 1,426 unresolved lawsuits involving a total of 349.6 billion yuan as of April, according to the filing.
The developer was named a dishonest debtor in six cases in April by courts around the country for failing to “fulfil the obligations determined by effective legal documents despite its capability”. It was also ordered to pay out 2.92 billion yuan in 130 new enforcement notices.
Analysts said it is not easy to find a buyer for the building, as the reopening of the border with mainland China has not yet driven significant office-leasing activity amid a glut of office space.
A high office-vacancy rate continues to affect the leasing market on Hong Kong Island, and rents have not rebounded in the first half, another agency said earlier this month.
By 2025, about 1.83 million sq ft of new office space will enter the Hong Kong office market, primarily in Central and Wan Chai. With the vacancy rate in Central still at a high level and ample supply over the next 18 months, there is downward pressure on rents, the agency said.
The agency added that in the short term, some landlords might reduce rents to attract tenants, but the reduction is likely to be less than during the pandemic. It expected office demand to remain subdued in 2023, with overall rents on Hong Kong Island to fall by 3 to 5 per cent for the whole year.
