外资代理行:甲厦空置率16.9%创新高


有外资代理行指,甲厦租赁今年上半年租赁高达230万方呎,为2019年上半年以来的最高半年结,不过,由于供应多,整体空置率16.9%创新高。

该行代理表示,今年上半年净吸纳100万方呎,The Henderson租赁率改善,九龙东AIRSIDE连录租赁。

不过,该代理又指,第二季新增供应达63.11万方呎,上半年新增供应150万方呎,总空置面积达1500万方呎,即16.9%,中环空置率由9.7%升至14%。

中环升至14%

该行另一代理认为,甲厦净吸纳量连续第四季录正数,部分租户以优惠租金升级办公室,预期2024年整体甲厦租金全年跌幅5至10%,料全年整体新增供应170万方呎,比上年增加10万方呎。

料租金全年跌510%

该行另一代理表示,上半年租赁活动主要集中在餐饮、服饰鞋类零售商及药房。今年第一季,大部分餐厅收入按年上升,酒吧则例外。

该代理又称,租金回升,仍有内地餐饮品牌进驻香港,亦有很多查询中,考虑进驻,他们倾向在四大主区开铺,再扩展至民生区。

该行另一代理表示,持续空置压力,导致仓库租金按季跌1.5%。贸易及物流公司营商环境有所改善,贸易、仓储和快递行业的业务收入增加。

该行另一代理表示,今年第二季,银码逾7700万的交易录48宗,上半年总额达231亿,为自2008年下半年以来半年交易最少,写字楼佔15宗最多,零售仅10宗成交。银主盘佔投资额168亿,比例为73%。

甲厦空置楼面多 下半年租金续跌

上半年甲厦租金持续下跌,业界指,目前空置楼面仍多,下半年租金跌势将维持,全年跌幅近1成。

据一间外资代理行统计,第二季甲级写字楼整体净吸纳量录得正31.8万平方呎,带动上半年录得约正58万平方呎的净吸纳面积。新租赁活动方面,第二季新租赁面积录得964,500平方呎,比去年同期升约7成,当中以九龙东及中区佔比最高,分别佔本季新租赁面积的33%及22%。

至于不同行业的表现,按租赁面积计算,以保险业 (23%) 佔比最高,而专业服务业 (22%)、银行及金融业 (20%) 和消费品及制造业 (17%) 均录得双位数佔比。

总括上半年,市场录得最大手租务来自保险业,友邦香港 (AIA) 租用南丰旗下啟德AIRSIDE高层4层办公室,涉及近15万平方呎楼面。友邦指,全新办公室会作为财务策划顾问团队的日常营运及训练用途,将设有多个训练室及演讲厅。

年初至今跌2.1%

待租楼面上,该行指,本季度共有两个新写字楼项目落成,分别坐落于中区及九龙东,使整体待租率微升至19.8%水平。第二季整体甲级写字楼租金按季下调1.5%,年初至今跌2.1%。各区表现上,中区租金每呎约83.3元,今年暂跌约2.3%。

展望下半年,该行代理预期,写字楼租赁步伐将与上半年相若,企业仍然以成本控制为主,而市场在供应充足的情况下需要一段时间才能消化待租面积,因此写字楼租金在年内仍将继续受压,维持原本全年租金7至9%跌幅的预测。

供应多推高待租率

对于整体租务市场表现,该代理称,2024年第二季度香港甲级写字楼市场共录得约5,660万平方呎的已租赁面积,数字与2020年末的5,640万平方呎相若,反映写字楼市场需求在过去数年及疫情期间大致保持平稳,而待租率上升,主要受到过去几年新落成甲级写字楼推高所致。

另一方面,现时平均租金水平已较2019年高峰回落约38%,该代理认为,企业若以相若的租金预算可以进驻质素更好的商厦作升级搬迁,相信优质写字楼的去货速度较快。近期不少已获批人才计划的专才开始落户香港,相信有助支持写字楼的长远需求。

商厦低价沽货 料全年价跌逾1

买卖市场方面,有本港代理行指,商厦业主偏向以低价沽货,相信全年商厦呎价跌逾1成。

乙厦租售价逆市升

有代理指出,上半年商厦成交量录344宗,按年减少29.4%,而成交金额按年上升47.2%至135.8亿元,相信是与期内录得数宗大手成交有关。

商厦租售价方面,指标甲厦价格和租金上半年分别累跌11.2%及6.7%,反映有商厦业主为加快出货,愿意将物业叫价降低。不过,指标乙厦租售价分别上升2.3%及0.3%,表现平稳。

该代理续指,在目前写字楼空置楼面高企的环境下,相信发展商将会作出调节,预料未来商厦的落成量会减少。不过,由于近年新供应的写字楼有待消化,加上商厦业主偏向以低价出售物业,预料今年全年整体甲厦租售价会下跌约6至12%左右,惟卖方「以价换量」的举动会令下半年商厦的交投较上半年增约5至10%,全年成交量料录700宗左右。

工商铺6299宗买卖 3个月最少

有本港代理行代理表示,股市回落加上市道復甦缓慢兼逢高息环境,整体工商铺买卖在连升两月后再度回软。据土地註册处初步临时数字显示,2024年6月全港共录得299宗工商铺物业买卖登记,较5月份的344宗回落13.1%,创下近3个月低位,反映持续上升的动力不足。

商厦录50按月减21%

而总结上半年整体工商铺共录1,625宗登记,较去年下半年的1,665宗微跌2.4%。月内3个范畴物业登记量全綫下跌,当中以商厦跌幅最大,按月大减20.6%至50宗;工厦表现亦偏软,跌12.1%,而店铺也回落10.1%。

该行另一代理指出,6月份工商铺3类物业买卖当中,工厦登记量佔比依然最多,达整体的53.5%,按月微增约0.6个百分点。初步数字显示,6月全月工厦共录得160宗买卖登记,按月减少12.1%;但仍较上半年按月平均的约142宗多,亦为年内次高水平,表现未算太差。至于上半年工厦共录得849宗登记,较去年下半年的882宗减少3.7%。

另外,该代理表示,受股市经济表现乏力,商厦市道再陷反覆偏软走势,维持了两月的强势后,再次跌至半百宗水平。总结6月全月商厦共录得50宗买卖,较5月份的63宗大减20.6%,为工商铺中跌幅最大的类别。至于上半年商厦共录得307宗登记,较去年下半年的306宗微升1宗。

店铺范畴方面,该行另一代理表示,店铺买卖在5月份触及年内高峰后,于6月份略有回落,但仍处相对高位,为近10个月以来第3高。数据显示,6月份店铺买卖登记录得89宗,按月下跌10.1%,终止两连升。至于2024年上半年,店铺共录得469宗登记,较去年下半年的477宗跌8宗或1.7%。

另外,展望下半年,其中一大亮点是受惠新资本投资者入境计划,截至6月30日为止当局合共接获逾3,700宗查询,接获申请339宗,原则上批准个案达88宗,而获批签证者已有3宗。待上述逾300宗申请处理完毕,预计可为香港带来直接投资金额超过100亿元,预期当中可为工商铺市场带来可观收入。

City's office vacancy rate nears 17pc

Hong Kong's office vacancy rate rose to a new high of 16.9 percent in the second quarter of this year, with a total of 15 million square feet vacant, a property agency said.

About 631,100 sq ft of new office space was supplied in the past three months, bringing the total new supply for the first half of the year to around 1.5 million sq ft.

The new supply drove the vacancy rate in Central to surge, rising to 14 percent in the first half of the year, the highest level since June 2004.

The rising vacancy rate has continued to pressure rents, with Grade A office rents falling 1.6 percent quarter-on-quarter, a faster drop compared to the 0.6 percent decline in the first quarter.

A property agent expects office prices to fall by 10 percent this year, while retail and store prices are expected to rise by 5 percent.

The Uppland prices start at $1.8m, cheapest Tuen Mun flats in 8 years

Early Light International priced the first batch of The Uppland - phase 1 of Gold Coast Bay - in Tuen Mun, at HK$9,988 per square foot after discounts, the lowest in eight years in the same district.

Additionally, the cheapest flat among 139 units in the first batch costs only HK$1.84 million after discounts, according to the price list unveiled yesterday.

Gold Coast Bay is the first local residential project of Early Light International founded by "King of Toys" Francis Choi Chee-ming. It offers 1,323 flats in total.

Commenting on the average price below HK$10,000 per sq ft, Early Light International property development department's managing director Raymond Lee Ping-yu said the company made this pricing decision mainly due to market sentiment.

But Lee believes the entire project would be able to profit in the end.

The first batch of The Uppland is priced at the levels last seen eight to 10 years ago in the region. The average price of less than HK$10,000 per sq ft after discounts is close to that of Ori in Tuen Mun launched in 2016, while the cheapest flat is only higher than that of Mont Vert phase 2 in Tai Po unveiled in 2014.

The 139 flats comprise 72 studios, 58 one-bedroom and 9 two-bedroom flats, with sizes ranging from 206 to 444 sq ft.

After discounts of as much as 12 percent, this batch costs between HK$1.84 million and HK$4.37 million. The cheapest flat on this list is a 206-sq-ft studio on floor 8 of Tower 5B, with an average price of HK$8,942 per sq ft.

The lowest average price comes from a two-bedroom unit priced at HK$8,908 per sq ft, or HK$3.96 million after discounts.

Early Light will open the show flats to the public and start receiving checks tomorrow, said Leo Koo Kam-po, sales and marketing manager. Sales may start this month at the earliest, Koo added.

The Uppland provides 692 flats in two blocks, varying from studios to three-bedroom ones, in the first phase.

A property agent expects the project will attract young homebuyers and investors. Po estimates the rents could reach HK$40 per sq ft, giving a return of about 4.5 percent.

In Kai Tak, The Pavilia Forest expects to start the first round of sale this week while revealing three special units that will be sold by tender, according to the developers New World Development (0017) and Far East Consortium (0035).

Hong Kong property: fire sales dominate first-half deals as debt stress weighs on owners

Distressed property sales accounted for HK$16.8 billion (US$2.1 billion) or 73 per cent of the total deal value in the first half, versus 10 per cent in previous years, a property consultancy says

Sales of distressed real estate in Hong Kong jumped in the first half of the year, accounting for about three quarters of the volume, with the coming months likely to see an unusually high number of such transactions, according to a property consultancy.

Distressed sales typically account for less than 10 per cent of transactions in the city, but with interest rates climbing to a 23-year high in a span of 16 months since March 2022, investors have found it increasingly difficult to service debt, the property consultancy said.

In the first six months of the year, overall deals amounted to HK$23.1 billion (US$2.95 billion), the second-lowest half-year total since the second quarter of 2008, CBRE said. Fire sales accounted for HK$16.8 billion or 73 per cent of the total investment in the period.

“In the second half, there will be something like 50 per cent of [distressed sales] because interest rates are still at a high level and a rate cut is unlikely to happen earlier than September,” an agent said.

Many existing owners are facing tremendous pressure from the high interest costs of around 6 per cent, while the return on property assets is about 3.5 per cent, the agent added.

In May, a 5,171 sq ft mansion, 10B at Black’s Link on The Peak, linked to Hui Ka-yan, the founder of the liquidated China Evergrande Group, was sold by creditors to a privately owned company for HK$448 million. The amount was 44 per cent less than the HK$800 million that appraisers had estimated the property to be worth.

One HarbourGate East Tower (Cheung Kei Center) in Hung Hom, one of the many assets seized last year from Chinese tycoon Chen Hongtian, has been put on sale for a second time amid weak office market sentiment.

Receivers put the tower back on the market for a new round of bidding, according to a statement last week by another property consultancy.

The prime harbourfront property was valued at around HK$7 billion in 2022, the consultancy said when it was first put on the market in May 2023. The property was bought for HK$4.5 billion in 2016.

Other market observers noted that with interest rates remaining higher for longer, more distressed transactions were likely and banks would be pressed to start seizing assets to satisfy debt obligations.
