长沙湾重建项目扩大 财团1.1亿增购10伙

长沙湾顺寧道旧楼重建项目扩大地盘，早前获财团斥约1.1亿元收购比邻顺寧道316及318号合共10伙，每伙划一收购价约1,100万元，重建地盘面积将增至近1.5万平方呎。

位于顺寧道316至332号的一排旧楼，属于公务员合作社，近几年获财团陆续收购，早前已经成功收购顺寧道320至328号，以及比邻的顺寧道330至332号翠华阁，并展开重建。

据资料显示，同一财团早前再斥约1.1亿元收购比邻的顺寧道316及318号，涉及10个单位，相当于该旧楼全部业权，而每伙收购价划一为约1,105万元，若果以有关单位实用面积959至1,130平方呎不等，即每呎收购呎价约1万至1.2万元。

预计可提供约200伙中小户

新买家为CHUNG SHUN PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT LTD，董事包括家祥企业管理有限公司、张秉佑等，早已经收购比邻的旧楼，据指涉及周大福企业或相关人士。

该顺寧道316及318号旧楼楼龄约65年，佔地约3,000平方呎，若果以地积比率9倍作为商住发展，可建楼面约2.7万平方呎，以现时收购价约1.1亿元计算，每呎楼面地价约4,000多元。而随着今次成功併购顺寧道316及318号，预计整个项目重建范围将扩大至顺寧道316至332号，地盘面积扩大至近1.5万平方呎，可建楼面约13.5万平方呎，预计可提供约200至300伙中小型单位。

Hong Kong buyers spurn 12% discount at Kai Tak’s Miami Quay I, spelling woe for home market

Agents sold a single flat at Miami Quay I in Kai Tak, out of the 50 units left over from its September 2022 launch

Hong Kong’s property buyers spurned a 12 per cent discount on offer at a waterfront housing project in one of the city’s choicest locations, signalling more woes ahead for the real estate slump.

Agents sold a single flat at Miami Quay I in Kai Tak, out of the 50 units left over from its September 2022 launch. The flats were priced between HK$5.8 million (US$742,215) and HK$18.9 million, after an average discount of 12 per cent.

“It was a bit disappointing,” an agent said which runs one of Hong Kong’s largest networks of property sales agents. “The flats are leftover units and expectations were not high given the current weak market sentiment.”

The woeful result underscores how Hong Kong’s developers have to make deep cuts to their catalogue prices to clear their growing inventory of unsold homes, as investors and owner-dwellers alike have retreated to the sidelines amid stubbornly high interest rates and a supply glut.

Hong Kong’s had more than 20,000 unsold homes in February when the government scrapped a range of taxes and curbs to stimulate demand. Since then, the US Federal Reserve had pushed back its schedule for cutting interest rates, resulting in Hong Kong’s high funding costs because of the city’s currency peg, analysts said.

Recent launches had to cut prices by as much as 10 per cent, compared with similar projects in 2015, according to another property agency.

Miami Quay I is a venture between several of Hong Kong’s biggest developers: Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land, New World Development and the Empire Group. Sited on the former runway of the Kai Tak airport, the location offers unhindered waterfront views of the West Kowloon district and the famous LionRock in Kowloon.

Developers had to offer steep discounts elsewhere in Kai Tak to bolster sales. New World and Far East Consortium this week cut the lowest price of the first 60 flats at The Pavilia Forest I project to an eight-year low, or HK$16,008 per square foot, with discounts of up to 18 per cent from the prices of new launches in the same neighbourhood, according to the agency.

Some local developers are using cash rebates as stealth discounts to draw buyers.

The Sales of First-hand Residential Properties Authority (SRPA) said it had noticed that some developers were offering very high commissions to property agents to boost the sales of new homes, while agents were passing on such rebates to their clients.

Cash rebates – a form of under-the-table discounting through private negotiation – to attract buyers – can reach as much as 50 per cent of the value of a new property.
