今年以来，商厦市况一潭死水，比较去年价量齐跌，不过，上月市场气氛突然高涨，连录4宗「超级大刁」，最大宗的为九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢，涉资逾65亿，大买卖亦包括新世界沽售长沙湾永康街商厦项目逾51%业权，作价近30.8亿。

根据本报统计资料，今年以来，涉资逾亿元的商厦暂录15宗，涉资135亿，比较去年同期23宗涉资173亿，价量齐跌，而且，涉资金额集中于上个月，买卖气氛突高涨，连录4宗「超级大刁」，该4宗涉资约117亿，金额佔今年以来整体买卖的87%，可见上月市场之畅旺。其中，九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢，该宗买卖至今未知买家身分，涉资逾65亿，另一说法则指约70亿。新世界亦刚于上周沽售长沙湾永康街商厦项目51%权益，买家为新加坡基金Ares SSG Capital Management，作价30.88亿。

资深投资者罗守辉亦沽货止赚，中环皇后大道中118及120号联盛大厦全幢商厦，作价2.98亿易手，平均呎价2.78万，他于2002年7月以3038.8万购入上址，持货逾20年，帐面劲赚2.676亿，升值近9倍，买家为杜家驹。还有，旭辉控股沽出炮台山英皇道101号及111号商厦60%股权，涉资13.4亿，买家为宏安地产及荷兰退休基金。

基金30.8购长沙湾商厦

有代理表示，疫市下，工商铺当中以商厦「最伤」，上月大手买卖以低价主导，九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢，市传以约70亿易手，平均呎价只有7000多元，区内商厦平均呎价逾万元，若该成交属实，无疑对区内商厦市场大力地「踩了一脚」，更市况雪上加霜；中环联盛大厦全幢商厦呎价2.98万，亦属低水平，项目属于银座式商厦，亦属疫市下受影响的项目。

代理：低价成主流

该代理又说，综观上月4宗大买卖，并非市场上主流，目前，分散业权的甲厦交投淡静，原因是商厦买家一般并非用家，而是投资者居多，在持续疫市下，商厦出租率不理想，连核心区中环空置率亦高达9%至10%，整体市场空置存量多达1000多万呎，明年更有机会逾2000万方呎，创历来新高，令投资者却步。

赤柱豪宅地王估值逾百亿

政府日前公布今季卖地计画，将推出3幅住宅地，其中2幅更属百亿豪宅地王，当中最瞩目为赤柱环角道豪宅地，可建总楼面逾48万方呎，是该区有大型新供应，并季内属百亿地王之一，该地综合市场估值介乎约168.1亿至206.5亿，每方呎估值约3.5万至4.3万。

每呎约3.5万至4.3万

上述地皮为赤柱环角道豪宅地 (乡郊建屋地段第1204号)，邻近舂坎角一带的豪宅物业，如昭阳花园及壁如花园等。项目地盘面积约25.51万方呎，涉及可建总楼面约48.02万方呎，估计可提供约650伙，是区内近年最大型的地皮新供应，料日后可发展规模较大的豪宅屋苑。综合市场估值，上述地皮估值介乎约168.1亿至206.5亿，每方呎估值约3.5万至4.3万，有力问鼎百亿地王宝座。

资料显示，对上一次批出的同区卖地表地皮，为建灝于2016年以28.11亿投得的赤柱黄麻角道128号项目，以该地可建总楼面22.6万方呎计，当时每方呎楼面地价约12436元；意味该区相隔6年再有新供应。

有测量师表示，上述估值过百亿地王发展规模大，比山顶文辉道还要大，而项目属于豪宅地段，料大部分单位享有海景，由于豪宅单位往往需要时间消化，投资期较长，相信入标的发展商或财团不多，料在目前市况下出价必然保守。

另一测量师指出，由于地盘面积大，并且位处豪宅地段，而且在加息后推出，认为该地皮可以成功出售，相信成交价具指标性作用，亦反应发展商对豪宅市况走势看法。

Confidence in Fan Ling buying queue

Henderson Land Development (0012) yesterday sold 46 of 143 flats on the price list for its second round of sales at One Innovale-Bellevue in Fan Ling.

The 143 homes, ranging from 228 to 501 square feet and covering studios and one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom flats, were being sold at discounted prices of HK$3.33 million to HK$7.13 million, or HK$13,681 to HK$17,137 per square foot.

There were also 12 homes for sale by tender.

One potential buyer said he was optimistic about the future development of the Northern Metropolis, and he was also cheered by moves to do away with quarantine rules and cuts in interest rate stress testing.

So he had decided to lay out more than HK$6 million to purchase a three-bedroom flat that would be for personal use.

About 80 percent of the hopeful buyers were people born after 1990, according to a property agency.

The agency also said that people who bought flats for themselves to live in accounted for about 80 percent of the purchasers while the rest were buying for long-term investment.

The agency also expects that after the completion of the project rents will reach about HK$45 per square foot, with a yield of more than 3 percent. Another agent agreed the buying mood had improved with the easing of quarantine rules last week and the cut of the interest rate stress testing requirement for property mortgage lending

Although the number of transactions in the primary market last month was just 602, a half-year low, the agent added that he expected the SAR administration's continuing measures to boost the local economy would help the property market.

As social activities pick up and market sentiment recovers, he estimates there will be 1,500 transactions in the primary market this month.

But the other agency is less upbeat about the secondary market, predicting it could be reporting 6,800 transactions for the third quarter, marking a low point over 15 quarters. That is seen with the secondary market being weak due to the impact of the pandemic and the interest rate hikes.

Transactions in the third quarter decreased by 37.3 percent quarter on quarter, and their total value was about HK$57 billion. That was also a drop of 41 percent compared with HK$96.5 billion in the second quarter.

The agency added that the impact of the government's relaxation of quarantine measures and the lowering of interest rate stress testing requirement for property mortgage lending last month would be reflected in transactions at the end of October.

On a more positive note, another property agency counted 99 transactions involving shops in August. That was 4 percent better than July, when there were 95 transactions.

Hong Kong property: why the end of quarantine will not end the pressure on rentals market, with resident departures still a concern

End of quarantine will help city get back to normal but analysts say the move may only provide limited support for struggling rental market

The city’s property sector has to contend with a slowing economy, a stock market fall, rising inflation, higher interest rates and resident departures

Investment professional Eva Wu, a British national, has terminated her rental contract in Hong Kong ahead of flying back to the UK in December for a long holiday.

The small flat, located at Mountain View Mansion in the busy Wan Chai area, measures 283 sq ft and has a rent of HK$11,000 (US$1,401) a month. Wu will rent another flat on her return in February, and given the recent downward trend in rents as more expats leave the city for good after years of strict Covid-19 restrictions, she is hoping for a better deal.

“There has really been quite an impact [on rents]. Many people made a decision at the beginning of the year to leave, heading off to places like Singapore,” said Wu. “However, there may be fewer [leaving] now after the need for hotel quarantine was axed.”

From September 26, overseas travellers will no longer be confined to hotel rooms for quarantine upon arrival after Hong Kong finally ended some of the world’s toughest travel restrictions, in a step aimed at reconnecting the isolated financial centre with the world.

While the change will help the bustling city get back to normal, analysts say the move may only provide limited support for Hong Kong’s struggling rental market, which may not fully recover until all restrictions are lifted and the mainland border reopened.

Hong Kong’s rents are currently expected to fall 5 to 10 per cent by the year-end, according to analysts, after years of breakneck growth before the pandemic hit.

“In terms of the property market, [the end of quarantine] will not alter overall sentiment,” a property agent said.

“It will help stem an outflow of people and talent,” the agent said. “[But] we will not see significant increases in expats until mid-to-late 2023 as we need to see all restrictions and mask-wearing requirements lifted.”

The city’s property sector has had to contend with a slowing economy, a stock market fall, rising inflation, higher interest rates and the knock-on effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has upset global supply chains. But it is the wave of departing residents, fed up with strict pandemic restrictions and Hong Kong’s enactment of a new national security law in 2020 among other personal reasons, that has been a major hit.

Once a go-to destination for high-flying expatriates, more than 113,000 residents – including many expatriates who had earned permanent resident status – left Hong Kong in the 12 months through June, according to government data. That is about double the population loss for the previous year, creating a talent shortage in the financial hub.

The official index for overall housing rents has declined 1.6 per cent on year to 179.7 in August, according to data from the Rating and Valuation Department. It has slid 10.2 per cent since the peak of 200.1 in August 2019.

For example, in the Central and Western district – which houses the financial centre – rents have fallen by around 15 per cent from the high in 2019 because of emigration, a poor economy and an interest rate upcycle, another agent said.

In broad terms, rents are about 5 per cent cheaper than last year, according to another agent. The agent added that there was a smaller rise in rents over the summer – typically the high season – and that he had seen less than half the number of expats looking to rent than in previous years.

“The market has fewer corporate tenants”, meaning those that typically have a housing allowance from their firms, the agent said. “Compared to previous years property owners are worried about the emigration wave and the early termination of leases. So there have been bigger discounts.”

Another agent expected that rents to fall 5 to 10 per cent by the end of the year along with the general decline in home prices.

For instance, at Heng Fa Chuen located in the Eastern district of Chai Wan, one flat measuring 659 sq ft was last week leased at HK$19,500, 22 per cent less than the asking rent, after being on the market for over four months, according to information from another property agency.

Meanwhile, an market index on housing rents, which surveys agents on their market outlook, sank 36.5 per cent from late April to 38.52 for the week ended October 2, reflecting a wider rental market adjustment, according to an agency.

After the summer high season, when mainland students typically flock to the city before school semesters begin in September, the number of leases declined. City One Shatin saw only about 60 leases in September, down about half from 118 leases in August, according to the agency.

Meanwhile, rents in Kowloon have fallen for five consecutive months, according to the agency. Laguna City in Lam Tin saw rents fall the most in the past five months, down 4.8 per cent to HK$28.1 per sq ft. There is also expected to be an increase in the supply of rental listings in Kowloon with the completion of more large housing estates.

“In the past, landlords were very aggressive in increasing rents, causing tenants to turn to other units,” an agent said. “It has not been like that in the past two years. Instead, rent has been reduced to keep the tenant.”

And the pressure on luxury housing rents has been relatively higher than that for the mass market, another agent said. Anxious owners are now offering discounts and longer rent-free periods, the agent said.

“For the expat market, we have seen more departures than arrivals in recent months,” the agent said. However, we do think the peak for departures has passed, with the number falling from a few months ago, the agent added.

For listings with rents above HK$80,000 a month or for large units above 2,000 sq ft, demand remains weak, the agent said.

Investment professional Eva Wu still expects the market to remain weak, and is hopeful of reducing her own rent.

“It’s difficult, there is no reason to ask people to return after working [elsewhere] for just a few months,” said Wu.

“Unless the border with the mainland reopens … there will not be much of a rebound if we simply rely on returning expats.”

九龙商业区商厦租金廉宜，空置率亦改善，有代理行资料显示，最新整体指标商厦空置率录约11.73%，按月减低0.36个百分点，当中尖沙嘴区写字楼空置情况改善，最新数字为10.17%，按月递减1.64个百分点。

该行代理表示，8月份九龙区整体指标商厦空置率录约11.73%，对比7月份回落0.36个百分点，按年减低0.8个百分点，其中尖沙嘴明显减少，由7月份约11.81%，减低1.64个百分点至约10.17%，惟对比2021年同期逊色，较之前高出1.87个百分点。

新港中心呎租34元减23%

最近新港中心一座中层10室，面积约1450方呎，以呎租约34元获租客承租，比旧呎租约45元，减幅约23%。同时，尖东甲厦林立，该地段8月份写字楼空置率录12.04%，按月减低0.70个百分点，按年对比则上升0.67个百分点。旺角区8月甲厦空置率按月升1.07个百分点至约5.07%，但实质为九龙商业区中最低，对比2021年同期更大幅减低2.49个百分点。

旺角区空置率5.07%最低

该代理续称，九龙东方面，观塘区指标商厦空置率有所改善，最新录约9.56%，按月递减0.21个百分点，按年跌幅达2.96个百分点，九龙湾因甲厦楼面供应过剩，九龙湾8月份空置率录约19.42%，比7月上升0.41个百分点，按年略微减少1.04个百分点，但未来数年续有大型写字楼项目发展，相信区内商厦空置率短期内难以回落。

商厦买卖暂录210宗按季跌23%

今年以来商厦市场吹淡风，利嘉阁指出，今年第三季料录210宗，按季跌23%，寄望疫情改善，限制措施再度鬆绑，年内可以通关市况得以逆转。

有代理表示，近月市况不就，商厦买卖徐徐下跌，综合土地註册处数据，2022年8月份全港共录70宗商厦买卖，较七月份的78宗再跌10%，连跌3个月，创近5个月最少。

8月份商厦买卖量跌值升，登记金额激增41.95倍，主因月内录2宗疑属内部转让巨额登记的中环交易广场个案，共涉资518.01亿，金额录历史性新高的527.26亿；不过若撇除相关登记后，月内实际登记总值9.25亿，按月跌近25%。

按价格划分，在7个价格组别登记量当中，录三跌四升。在跌幅者中，以5000万至1亿以内组别86%跌幅至只有1宗最急剧；而2000万至5000万以内及1000万至2000万以内组别亦分别大跌85%及71%，各自仅录2宗及5宗登记，拖低整体表现。

代理行：憧憬年内通关后逆转

该代理指出，总结第三季商厦登记料只有约210宗，将较次季的273宗大减23%。至于今年最后一季，如果疫情持续减退，入境检疫限制进一步放宽至「0+0」，则第四季商厦跌势可以喘定。

正八集团部署明年5亿扫货 廖伟麟：铺位商厦价格未见底

近年来，正八集团主席廖伟麟成为淡市勇者，不断出手买卖，不过，近期转趋观望，指在防疫措施「0+0」之前，不再出手买货，铺位商厦价格未见底，惟相信距离见底不远，集团部署明年以5亿扫货；而早前购入的上环南和行大厦一篮子铺位及商厦，则已取消交易。

廖伟麟于今年2月，以1.38亿购入上环南和行大厦物业，成交期长达半年，项目早前已取消交易，他指出，取消交易属个别事件，亦是商业决定，与市况没有关係，卖方已退回订金，基于保密条款，不方便透露详情。

取消南和行大厦物业交易

虽然如此，向来活跃市场的他，近期已转趋向观望， 他指出：「除了疫情持续，市场进入加息周期外，料想不到的是，打仗持续长时间，为全球经济带来负面影响，更令利息加得兇狠。」疫情持续无期，市况急速改变，目前，他採取观望态度，暂未打算出手入市。

市况离底不远 寄望通关

他续说，现时入境隔离「0+3」，比大家预期短，不过，若与其他地区比较，香港竞争力并不足够，对经济提振作用有限。「不过，基于0+3的出现，比大家预期中的3+4跨进一大步，因此，我相信0+0即将会出现。」

他指出，为了顾及经济，相信政府会随时、或最迟圣诞节前后，宣布恢復通关，一日未通关，经济难于向好，市况仍然在回落中，现时，铺位及商厦价格尚未见底，但他相信距离见底不远，当通关后，市况不会即时恢復，需时至少数个月甚至半年时间，才能够回气，甲厦及核心区铺市将受到带动。

料通关后市况需时恢復

过去两、三年间，廖伟麟连环买卖物业，当中至少有4项属短綫买卖，持货两至三年间，赚幅由13%至35%，成为淡市奇葩，不过，亦有部分物业即使低价吸纳，但市值跟随市况缩水，例如，海富中心22楼单位，他购入呎价高逾2.9万，当时低市价逾20%，近期，汤臣集团购入13楼银主盘，最新呎价不足2万，不过，对他来说没有关係，他有能力看长约，期待好市时善价而沽。

他手上仍然有「子弹」，伺机出击，廖伟麟表示，他目前手持5亿，将会待宣布「0+0」时，开始寻找盘源，估计明年开始扫货，目标未有改变，仍然是位处旺区铺位、乙厦及甲厦。

啟德住宅地王估值逾百亿

近年本港商业气氛不景气，政府早前成功将啟德3幅商业地改划作住宅发展，当中2幅已纳入卖地表，其中有力挑战百亿地王的2A区4号、5 (B) 号及10号合併招标用地，涉及可建总楼面约138万方呎，综合市场估值约165.6亿至193.2亿，每方呎估值约1.2万至1.4万。

啟德区近年有多幅商业地以流标收场，政府早前计画将区内5幅商业用地改划作住宅发展，其中3幅成功改划，跑道区2幅商业地则保留作商业用途。其中，曾以商业地方式推出、并以流标收场的2A区4号、5 (B) 号及10号合併招标地皮，最快于季内以住宅地方式招标。

可建总楼面逾138万方呎

上述地皮由三个地块组成，并合併成一个项目招标，佔地规模较大，地盘面积约17.25万方呎，涉及可建总楼面约138.02万方呎，料可提供约1750伙，是今季卖地计画推出住宅地中最大。该地由于分割为三块大小不一的地皮，影响设计弹性，景观方面料以面向市区景为主。

测量师说，上述项目地盘面积较大，由于邻近港铁站、九龙城及土瓜湾一带，配套设施较为充足，相信项目日后落成推出时，区内不少商业配套及地标建筑已经落成；即使近期该区规划有转变，惟该地对财政收益大，由于发展规模大，料以合组方式入标，以分散风险。

料发展商合组财团入标

测量师表示，区内3幅商业地成功改划作住宅地中，以上述用地最大，涉及投资额大，预计发展商出价保守。另外，该地最接近港铁宋皇臺站，料日后不少单位可享九龙城一带都市景，参考早前商业地皮招标条款，相信中标者要提供社福设施。

资料显示，上述合併招标项目曾于2020年5月以商业用地方式推出招标，当时仅截收4份标书，惟出价未达政府就该用地所定的底价，以流标收场，其后改为住宅用地推出。

观塘市中心重建项目 料掀争夺战

市建局将在今季推出观塘市中心第4及5区重建项目，可建楼面达216.6万平方呎，属于近年规模最大的商业项目之一，加上位于港铁观塘站旁中心地段，属于兵家必争之地。

观塘市中心重建早在1998年由市建局前身的土地发展公司公布，直至到2007年才正式啟动，涉及裕民坊、物华街、协和街及康寧道等，分为5区发展，前3区属于住宅或商住项目，餘下属于裕民坊的部分则为商业发展。

可建楼面216万呎 罕有大规模

按照第4及5区过往的规划，基座将会兴建逾百万平方呎的大型商场，并兴建1幢60层高的商厦，最顶层作为酒店用途，连同项目内的公共运输交滙站、社区设施，总楼面约216.6万平方呎楼面。

市建局早前因应市场意见，修订方案加入「浮动参数」概念，即容许发展商在酒店、办公室及商场3种不同商业用途楼面中可以有限度调拨，选择最适合自己发展的方案，而维持总楼面216.6万平方呎不变。

今季内招标 估价逾119亿

例如，酒店楼面由约34.44万平方呎，变成弹性介乎0至34.44万平方呎，换言之，日后发展商可以选择兴建最多为400间酒店房，或不兴建酒店；而商场部分楼面则由约102万平方呎，减至介乎约69.97万至102万平方呎；办公室楼面上限由约70.89万平方呎，增加至约137.37万平方呎。

项目早在今年8月初已经开始收意向书，并在上月7日截收，合共接获24份意向书，市建局预计将于今季内正式招标。市场就地皮估值约119.1亿至210亿元，每呎楼面地价约5,500至9,700元，连同建筑成本，总投资将会达200亿至300亿元。地皮佔据观塘市中心地段，旁边是港铁观塘站，南面是观塘商业区、北面为观塘住宅区，成为来往两区的必经之路，有相当战略价值。

特别是过住新地 (00016) 在观塘道一带先后发展多期的创纪之城系列商厦，当中创纪之城5期商场apm更因比邻港铁站优势，尽吸透过铁路交通上、下班的观塘上班族人流，将来裕民坊重建成的商场、商厦相信跟创纪之城5期有互相竞争因素，故此市场相信，新地会有兴趣竞投，以巩固其商业王国。

安达臣小型商业地 料发展民生商场

观塘区最近一幅批出的商业地，属于位置在安达臣道石矿场的小型商业地，由领展 (00823) 以约7.66亿元投得，每呎楼面地价约5,501元，高出市场预期。

该幅商业地面积只有6.3万平方呎，可建楼面约13.9万平方呎，在商业地而言，属于偏细的规模，由于地皮远离观塘市中心地段，只属于民生住宅区，故此相信领展投得后，将会以发展民生商场为主。

同区地皮季内推 可建11万呎

除了上述地皮外，安达臣区内还有另一幅商业地将于今季推出。该幅用地地盘面积合共约5.7万平方呎，可建楼面约11万平方呎，较早前领展投得的商业地规模更小，而且地皮由2部分组成，位置相隔一段距离，其中一部分只能兴建一些小型商铺，发展潜力有限，地皮估值约5亿至6.4亿元，每呎楼面地价约4,500至5,780元。

未来观塘仍然有不少商业地推出，规模最大为邻近翠屏河的茶果岭道商业地，佔地约10.4万平方呎，可建楼面达123.8万平方呎，过往亦曾经纳入在卖地表内。至于其餘大型商业地还包括观塘行动区商业地、励业街商业地，3幅未推出由政府持有的商业地合共涉及多达241万平方呎楼面。

星共享工作间进驻长江集团中心 The Great Room港设第二据点 放眼亚太

近期来自新加坡的公司或基金积极来港寻找机会，除有基金大手购入香港住宅及商厦物业作投资外，在新加坡成立的共享办公室营运商The Great Room亦在港设立新据点，于核心商业区中环租用顶级商厦长江集团中心全层作为集团于香港第二个共享工作间。The Great Room创办人及行政总裁洪可珈 (Jaelle Ang) 接受本报访问时表示，香港是全球一个重要的金融中心，地位毋庸置疑，进驻中环主力服务高端客户，更是扩大集团亚太区版图的最重要一步。

末季啟用 市值呎租150元

The Great Room于2019年首度进驻香港市场，租用非传统核心商业区鰂鱼涌太古坊一座全层成首个据点，事隔3年，该集团租用中环长江集团中心45楼全层，作为香港第二个据点的选址，将于今年第四季开幕。

资料显示，长江集团中心45楼全层可租用面积21334方呎，2018年由虚拟货币衍生产品交易所BitMEX租用，当时呎租高达约212元。据现时最新市值呎租，已回落近三成至约150元。

洪可珈直言，因为香港已取消入境酒店隔离安排，多个大型国际活动及会议将举行，鼓励不少企业重返香港开展业务，有助推动香港恢復作为金融及商务中心的地位，加上新工作模式兴起，现时正是公司开拓新据点的绝佳时机。

她续称，香港是一个重要的金融中心，对全球企业具有吸引力，目前仍有不少商界领袖或企业的决策人士居住在香港，故集团视香港为发展亚太地区市场最重要的一个战略地区，「若不能赢得香港市场，就赢不到亚太区市场。」(One cannot win Asia-Pacific without winning Hong Kong. )

The Great Room新据点落户中环核心地段，洪可珈指出，中环一直是全港写字楼空置率最低的地区，长江集团中心地理位置优越，大厦租户更包括多家国际知名企业。而旗下共享工作间的会员有来自科技、金融、法律及专业顾问服务机构的企业，对高质素、设备齐全的共享空间需求上升，使用其中环共享工作间的用户，可与金融、银行、资产管理的世界级企业办公室看齐。

洪可珈：拟拓京沪日本市场

The Great Room中环新据点设有22间私人办公室，包括两间企业办公室，最大的一间可容纳50人。至于私人办公桌 (Dedicated Office) 每张每月租金由1.55万元起；每张流动办公桌 (Hot Desk) 月租则由3600元起。太古坊一座的The Great Room会员亦能使用中环共享工作间的设施。

资料显示，现时中环区内亦有多间共享办公室，目前私人办公桌月租由6000元至1万元；流动办公桌则每月3000至8000元。

洪可珈认为，新冠肺炎是加速共享办公室发展的催化剂，不少企业已陆续採用混合工作模式，令工作地点、时间更有弹性。香港与其他城市相比，写字楼租金高昂，灵活的工作空间可让企业更易应对商业环境的不确定性。在疫情后，集团在太古坊一座的办公室中，有三分之二的查询来自从未使用过共享办公室服务的公司，由此可见新需求不断增加，故对本港共享工作间的前景充满信心。

The Great Room现时在新加坡、香港和泰国曼谷3个市场发展，洪可珈透露，中环将是集团第十个开设的据点，未来将继续于香港扩大版图，更有意拓展上海、北京、日本东京等新市场，期望一两年内把亚太地区的据点增加一倍。

New home sales hit in downsizing

A total of 3,560 home transactions were recorded in the primary market in the third quarter, down about 6.6 percent from 3,811 in the second, according to a property agency.

Total turnover plunged by about 38.5 percent from about HK$43.98 billion in the second quarter to about HK$27.04 billion, as primary-market deals were dominated by small and medium-sized units, resulting in a sharp decline in the value.

The agency said Novo Land phase 1A and 1B in Tuen Mun recorded the largest number, followed by One Innovale phase one and two in Fan Ling North, and the two projects saw a total of 2,377 transactions.

Meanwhile, Wetland Seasons Bay phase three, a Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) project in Tin Shui Wai, sold three units through tender yesterday, with the total price coming in at more than HK$40.72 million.

The highest bid was for 1,121-square-foot villa RV2, which includes 669 square feet of garden area and sold for HK$15,26 million, or about HK$13,609 per foot.

Another agency said there were 47,886 property deals and total turnover of HK$465.93 billion in the first nine months of 2022, down 36.6 percent and 34 percent, from 75,568 transactions and HK$705.69 billion in the same period of 2021.

It expected the total number for 2022 to be about 65,000, which would be the lowest in 27 years since record-keeping began in 1996, beating the low of 70,503 set in 2013.

In other news, the vacancy rates of grade-A offices in Kowloon in August was about 11.73 percent, down by about 0.36 percentage points month on month, with Tsim Sha Tsui District seeing a significant drop.

Property agency says Hong Kong property sales to plummet to 27-year low this year, as Covid-19 curbs, higher interest rates bite

If the agency forecast holds, 2022 will record the lowest annual property transactions tally since 1996

Sales volumes likely to decline by 15 per cent, but last year was a record year, another agency says

Property transactions in Hong Kong are expected to fall to historic lows this year, according to a local property agency, with the first half of the year affected by Covid-19 lockdowns and the second half hit by rising interest rates.

Property sales are likely to hit 65,000 this year, the agency said. If the forecast holds, it will be the lowest annual property transactions tally since 1996, according to government records. The previous record low, of 70,503 registrations, was reported in 2013.

“In the first nine months of the year, there were 47,886 total sales of residential, parking, industrial and commercial properties with a total value of HK$465.9 billion [US$59.4 billion],” an agent said . “The number of transactions [for the whole of 2022] will be lower by 36.6 per cent, while the value will decline by 34 per cent, compared to 2021.”

The city imposed its most stringent social-distancing measures since the coronavirus pandemic began early 2020, at the start of the year. The lockdown effectively ground the market to a halt, with very few sales events being organised for new launches.

Moreover, Hong Kong has been raising rates since March in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has now raised its base interest rate five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high. Commercial banks such as HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong) raised their prime rates last month to a four-year high, making it costlier to fund big-ticket purchases such as housing.

A total of 8,968 new residential units worth about HK$98.9 billion were sold in the first nine months of the year, the agency said. This tally is 30.1 per cent lower compared with the same period in 2021 while the total value is 44.9 per cent lower.

The sales of new homes for the whole of 2022 are likely to reach about 12,000, a nine-year low after the 9,753 units sold in 2013.

Sales in the secondary market stood at 25,383 units, worth about HK$226.3 billion in the January to September period, the agency said, with volume down by 40.1 per cent and value by 41.3 per cent, when compared with last year.

The sales of lived-in homes this year are expected to fall to 34,000 units, potentially a 27-year low, the agency said. The previous historic low was recorded in 2016, when 34,657 lived-in homes changed hands.

In August, the prices of lived-in units fell by 2.6 per cent on average to their lowest level in three-and-a-half years, government data shows.

The sales of homes this year are likely to fall by 30 per cent to 50,000 to 53,000 units, another agent said.

“In the first six months of the year, during the fifth wave of the Covid-19 infections here in Hong Kong, the market was really quiet,” another agent said. “Sales volumes are likely to decline by 15 per cent this year, but last year was a record year for us.”

The second half is likely to be worse than the first six-month period, as homebuyers grapple with higher interest rates, the agent added.

外资代理行：末季甲厦空置率 持续高企

入境措施有所放宽，有外资代理行认为，市场仍需时消化大量甲厦新供应，料第四季甲厦空置率持续高企，非核心区压力较大。

据该代理行每月商厦租金走势上，中环最优质甲厦呎租约130.6元，按月跌约2.4%，而整体中环租金亦跌1.2%。至于边綫地段，如上环、铜锣湾及鰂鱼涌，租金均稍为下跌。九龙区方面，尖沙咀租金按月跌1.1%，按年跌约1.8%。至于空置楼面较多的东九龙，最新呎租约28.8元，按月跌不足1%。

写字楼租赁疲弱 港岛呎租约73元

该行指，空置率创历史新高的压力下，香港岛写字楼的整体租金在8月份进一步下跌。写字楼租赁依然疲弱，很多租户选择续租而非搬迁。港岛区目前平均呎租约72.9元，今年累跌约3.6%。甲级写字楼的吸纳需求主要来自共享工作空间和政府机构。共享工作空间营运商正在积极寻求优质写字楼作营运。其中新加坡共享空间品牌the Great Room，于核心区增租楼面，租用中环长江集团中心2.1万平方呎。

TEC中环新据点开幕 出租率85%

灵活办公空间需求不俗，德事商务中心 (TEC) 位于中环士丹利街28号新据点近日开幕，成为集团在港第13个据点。涉及该厦全幢19层，总楼面约5.5万平方呎。集团指，出租情况不俗，现时出租率已达85%。

据悉，新据点提供500个办公位，设有共享楼层以及多个独立办公室。TEC指，随着近期扩张，已经佔据中环和金鐘的甲级灵活办公市场总面积的65%，有助巩固业务。

核心区供应上，长实 (01113) 旗下中环和记大厦重建而成的长江集团中心二期，将于明年落成。长实再公布标準楼层全层面积约1.73万平方呎，採用方正及无中柱式设计，并称提供灵活多变的实用空间，强调户户可享维港海景。项目楼高41层，总建筑面积达55万平方呎，标準办公室楼层建筑面积约17,300平方呎，楼层採用方正及无中柱式设计，为租户提供灵活多变的实用空间。

九龙区方面，该行指，写字楼交易以细面积为主，营商信心转差，以及中国内地和跨国公司缺乏需求驱动因素，预计九龙区写字楼租赁仍将面临压力。

该行指，疲弱的营商环境预计持续，业主将提供更多创新和灵活的租赁计划，以留住和吸引租户。虽然政府已放宽边境限制，但市场仍需要一段时间来吸纳大量的写字楼供应，预计下一季空置率将保持高企，特别是非核心区，租金将面临压力。九龙方面，料全年九龙区写字楼市场的整体租金增长将在0至2%之间。与港岛一样，由于租赁活动在8月份继续放缓，大多数租户都持观望态度。

高银金融国际中心70亿沽 罕有全幢成交

买卖方面，近期商厦罕有录得全幢成交，涉及九龙湾高银金融国际中心，以约70亿元易手，成今年最大额商厦买卖。

总楼面92万呎 出租率约7成

本年5月，外资测量师行获接管人委託，标售九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢商厦，并于上月尾截标。据悉，项目正式售出，成交价料涉约70亿元。成交价计，为今年最大手物业买卖成交。至于对上一宗最大手甲厦买卖，为去年由亿京合组财团，以约105亿元购入九龙湾国际展贸中心。该物业楼高31层，总面积约92万平方呎，每层面积约3.5万平方呎，据悉未计高银使用楼层，现时出租率约7成，呎租约27至33元。按物业总楼面约92万平方呎计算，成交呎价仅约7,608元。

翻查资料，高银于2011年7月以34亿元投得该商业地皮，项目于2016年入伙，一直作集团总部及收租用途。惟近两年高银金融陷入财困，故高银金融国际中心多次传出放售，及曾多次抵押。

Hong Kong property sales post modest results in October debut as homebuyers await new policies, expect further rate increase

Henderson Land Development’s One Innovale-Bellevue in Fanling sold 45 flats on Sunday, around one-third of the 143 units on offer

The outlook for property sales in the fourth quarter is not optimistic because of a possible further increase in interest rates

Hong Kong’s first weekend property sale this fourth quarter posted modest results, as homebuyers took a wait-and-see approach ahead of another interest rate increase, and key policy announcements in the city and the mainland later this month, analysts said.

Henderson Land Development’s One Innovale-Bellevue project in Fanling, located in the city’s planned Northern Metropolis area, sold 45 flats on Sunday, according to property agent.

While that number represented around one-third of the 143 flats on offer, the agent said the response was within expectation because Sunday’s sale was the second conducted by the developer within a week. On September 27, Henderson Land sold 231, or 95 per cent, of 243 flats on offer.

“[Sunday’s] result is not bad for a second round of sale,” the agent said. “The project mainly caters to young people who are first-time buyers and can only afford small-sized new flats.”

The entry price at One Innovale-Bellevue, which is designed to have a total of 1,600 flats, is HK$3.07 million for a unit that measures 221 square feet.

The Henderson Land project’s location in the Northern Metropolis is expected to benefit from the government’s plan, which was announced last year, to develop the area into an information technology hub near the border with mainland China.

“Local homebuyers are taking a wait-and-see approach, as they want to know what new property policies will be announced by the Hong Kong government in the coming policy address, as well as the latest developments from mainland China’s 20th Congress later this month,” the agent said.

Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu on Saturday said he was in the final stage of drafting his maiden policy address, set to be delivered on October 19.

China’s 20th Party Congress, which will commence on October 16, is expected to herald a third term for President Xi Jinping as the Chinese Communist Party’s head, while ushering in a new leadership team.

Sunday’s modest debut of property sales this fourth quarter reflects the short-term pressure on Hong Kong’s housing sector from rising interest rates globally.

The results come after a weak third quarter amid rising interest rates, according to another agent.

“The outlook for fourth-quarter property transactions is not optimistic because it is widely expected that the US and Hong Kong will continue to increase interest rates,” the agent said. “The best-case scenario would be that fourth-quarter home prices and transactions maintain the level reached in the third quarter.”

Lived-in home prices in the city fell by 0.8 per cent in the week ended September 18, according to the a market index. They retreated by a cumulative 6.1 per cent in 10 straight losing weeks, and by 11.2 per cent from the record-high in August 2021.

The number of lived-in home transactions in the third quarter could reach about 6,800 deals valued at HK$57 billion, which would be the lowest number since 5,159 transactions worth HK$44.52 billion were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018, according to the agency. That number of deals would represent a 37 per cent decrease from the second quarter, when the value dropped by 41 per cent.

First-hand property sales, meanwhile, reached about 4,150 transactions, up 33 per cent than the second quarter and the highest since the 4,635 deals recorded in the fourth quarter last year. Their value, however, declined by 5.5 per cent to HK$36 billion, which reflected how most new flats sold in the previous quarter were small units.

The agent said that resulted from the decision by major developers to aggressively market new projects for sale.

Hong Kong’s 10 major banks last month increased their prime rates by 12.5 basis points to 5.125 per cent or 5.375 per cent. That means payment on a typical HK$5 million, 28-year loan with a 2.75-percentage point discount to the prime rate will increase by 1.6 per cent, or HK$323, to HK$21,029 per month, according to a local mortgage broker.

Hong Kong’s currency has been pegged with the US dollar since 1983, which means the city followed US interest rates. Although the US Federal Reserve has increased interest rates by 300 basis points this year, analysts expect it will further raise interest rates by another 125 basis points around the year’s end as part of efforts to tame high inflation.

油塘荣山工厦 申建29层甲厦

油塘荣山工业大厦最新向城规会申请将用地由「综合发展区」地带改划为「商业 (1)」地带，并以地积比率约11倍重建1幢29层高 (另设5层地库) 的甲级商厦，总楼面约54.5万平方呎。

申请人指，包括上述项目在内的「综合发展区」用地早前已获批作综合发展，而申请地点亦已获批建酒店，但申请人强调，该获批申请并非由是次申请地点的土地拥有人提出，因此申请人不会落实其酒店发展。

另外，葵涌业成街14至15号工厦亦申建1幢20层高 (包括2层地库及1层平台)的新式工厦，总楼面约16.19万平方呎。项目于7月已获屋宇署批出建筑图则。

Hong Kong property developer New World expects housing market to feel the squeeze from rising interest rates

Housing market will gradually recover as there is still strong demand for homes, says CEO Adrian Cheng

Hong Kong-listed developer posts an 8.5 per cent increase in full-year profit to US$159.2 million

Hong Kong’s housing market will be under pressure in the short-term from rising interest rates globally, the CEO of New World Development (NWD) said on Friday, after the property developer posted a modest 8.5 per cent rise in full-year profit.

“Such a turbulent market is stressful for everyone and we managed to record some gain in earnings,” Adrian Cheng Chi-kong, who is also the executive vice-chairman, said in an online briefing to discuss the results.

He said that property buyers in the city have adopted a wait-and-see attitude amid a tightening interest rate cycle globally. “Buyers need some time to digest, which will lead to downward pressure on Hong Kong’s property market in the short term.”

The company’s net profit for the year ended June 30, 2022, rose 8.5 per cent from a year ago to HK$1.05 billion (US$159.2 million), while underlying profit, excluding changes in the valuations of properties, rose 1.8 per cent to HK$7.08 billion. Revenue was flat at HK$68.2 billion.

New World’s revenue generated from property sales plunged 23 per cent year on year, mainly dragged by a 80 per cent drop in contracted sales in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong’s housing market remains mired in a slump, reflecting the impact of higher interest rates and the city’s coronavirus restrictions. Home prices fell by 2.26 per cent in August to their lowest level in three and a half years and have retreated 6.5 per cent this year.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has raised its base interest rate five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high, in lockstep with hawkish US Federal Reserve rate increases. Banks such as HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong) raised their prime rates last week to a four-year high, making it costlier to fund big-ticket purchases such as housing.

“But we believe it [the housing market] will recover gradually, as there is still strong demand for homes,” Cheng said.

Asked about his views about the new Hong Kong government led by Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu and easing of quarantine measures, Cheng said that the administration was handling the situation pretty well.

“We hope to see more relaxation and want the city to host more events, bring back some talent and reboot Hong Kong’s economy,” he said.

After more than two years of efforts to prevent coronavirus infections, Hong Kong lifted its Covid-19 hotel quarantine policy for all arrivals from September 26, adopting a “0+3” model.

New World said it was targeting revenue of HK$30 billion from property sales this year, split evenly between Hong Kong and mainland China.

The company’s K11 Musea shopping centre in Kowloon recorded a year-on-year increase of 9 per cent in sales during the period, while total footfall amounted to around 20 million.

The developer said that the increase in sales was mainly driven by better performance of its top tier international brands tenants, including jewellery and watches as well as personal care and beauty.

It has proposed a second-half dividend of HK$1.5 per share, bringing the full year dividend to HK$2.06 per share.

近期尖沙嘴甲厦连录承租个案，其中，港威大厦三座-保诚保险大厦高层01至02及14室，面积约4300方呎，意向呎租53元，市场消息指以逾45元承租，月租19.35万。另外，港威大厦六座高层08至09室，建筑面积约3199方呎，亦以每呎约40元租出，月租约12.8万。港威大厦一座低层10至11室，建筑面积约2700方呎，以约38元租出，月租约10.26万，同厦中层04及06室，建筑面积约4944方呎，以每呎约39元租出，月租19.28万。

区内海洋中心亦连录承租，中层03室，面积约1076方呎，以约36元租出，月租3.87万，中层10及11室，面积约4950方呎，以35元租出，月租约17.33万，海洋中心低层01至03室，面积约6162方呎，则以约33元租出，月租约20.33万。

海洋中心每月3.87万承租

有代理表示，港威大厦地点好，大厦质素及条件佳，相对整个海港城，该厦质素最高，亦最受捧，疫市下租金硬净，视乎不同座向、大小及不同质素单位，租金较2018年高位跌幅只有5%至10%；至于海洋中心，楼龄较高，租金相宜。该代理又说，上月九龙写字楼租务保持平稳，买卖则录得萎缩。

财团每呎1.5万收购黄大仙旧楼 涉10幢物业 住宅总金额涉4.8亿

市区土地资源有限，财团均面对一地难求的局面，近年不少发展商变阵，透过旧楼收购藉以申请强拍增加土储；旧楼林立的黄大仙未来发展潜力亦看高一綫，近年该区旧楼更掀起併购潮，未来区内势将「大变天」；本报获悉，黄大仙银凤街33至59号一列旧楼群被财团吼中，并于月前接触业主并出价收购，据了解每方呎收购价大约1.5万至1.6万不等，单计住宅部分涉及收购金额约4.8亿至5.12亿。

本港土地供应短缺，市区「靚地」更是卖少见少，近年有不少财团转向旧楼埋手，密密併购发展，上述银凤街33至59号一列旧楼群，涉及约10幢楼高5至6层的商住旧楼，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅楼层；最近获财团出价收购，据了解，该财团以每方呎1.5万至1.6万不等向小业主提出收购价建议。上述银凤街旧楼群涉及最少约76个住宅单位，单位面积由263至535方呎，住宅部分总楼面大约3.19万方呎，以每方呎1.5万至1.6万收购价计，单计住宅部分涉及金额至少约4.8亿至5.12亿，另有约15个地铺。

涉最少约76个住宅

银凤街33至59号旧楼群，早于1970年至1973年之间落成，至今约49至52年楼龄；若将来透过合併地盘重建发展，地盘面积扩展至约1.14万方呎，如以地积比9倍作重建发展，涉及可建总楼面约10.34万方呎，是近年市区中罕见的大型地盘。

该批旧楼群位于竹园银凤街及环凤街交界，属大单边位置，项目邻近有不少购物及娱乐设施，如黄大仙中心、凤德商场、竹园街市、双凤街街市，同时邻近竹园体育馆、凤德公园等；交通方面，邻近港铁黄大仙站，步行前往约11分鐘步程，而且毗邻亦有多条巴士及小巴路綫行走，交通及生活配套便利，极具重建价值。

可建总楼面10万呎

参考邻近私楼平均呎价，如区内指标屋苑现崇山目前平均呎价约1.74万，该屋苑1座低层A室新近以1409万售出，属面积794方呎的3房单位，呎价约1.77万；而钻岭一个低层D室的1房单位以448万易手，以面积211方呎计，呎价约2.1万。

另外滙豪山中层A室单位，新近以660万易手，以面积439方呎计，呎价约15034元；而同区居屋翠竹花园9座中层E室，面积484方呎，两房户，新近以525万 (自由市场价) 成交，呎价约10847元。

有业内人士指，近年市区新供应少，过往推出招标的市区用地均面对激烈竞争，入场门槛高，近年不少财团已转向具重建价值的旧楼埋手，其中旧楼林立的黄大仙是一个热门地区之一，据了解，现时已有不少财团插旗收购。

而且目前整体楼市气氛未如理想，加上成交量相对淡静，楼价亦有所回软之际，业主往往需要减价沽货，认为财团在旧楼收购时，不排除有部分小业主叫价态度会软化。

市区土地供应少区内掀收购热

近年黄大仙区发展步伐加快，由旧区渐蜕变成新晋商住社区，不少私人财团密密向旧楼埋手併购，单计宏安地产已成功透过强拍途径统一区内2个旧楼项目。

事实上，毗邻的鸣凤街及环凤街一带旧楼近年收购活动活跃，宏安地产已成功透过强拍途径统一区内2个旧楼项目，包括今年2月以底价2.57亿统一飞凤街31至41号旧楼业权，连同该公司收购的飞凤街45号合併发展；值得留意的是，上述飞凤街31至45号旧楼已于今年3月获屋宇署批出建筑图则，获批建1幢楼高19层高的商住项目，住宅部分涉及可建总楼面约7.8万方呎，另有1.5万方呎非住宅楼面，料提供约250伙。

飞凤街项目料提供250伙

该公司去年亦以底价8.05亿统一鸣凤街26至48号旧楼业权，上址由3个地段组成，包括26至32A号乾丰大厦、34及36号凤凰楼，以及38至46号旧楼，总地盘面积约9630方呎，可建楼面面积约8.67万方呎。

除本地发展商收购外，内地发展商武夷集团继2017年底以1.12亿购入鸣凤街18至20号全幢旧楼后，今年2月再下一城成功併购毗邻的22至24号全数业权，预料该两个地段地盘合併后面积约3600方呎，现规划为「住宅 (甲类) 1」用途，地积比率9倍计，涉及可建总面积约3.24万方呎的商住物业。

除财团併购外，市建局行政总监韦志成今年5月初曾指，加强市区更新工作，市建局在九龙城、黄大仙等多个旧区开展地区规划研究，制订合适的市区更新计画。

长实逾46亿低价 夺屯门限呎地

楼面呎价3522返6年前 赵国雄：投资额逾130亿

长实 (01113) 动作频频，上周沽出半山豪宅后，随即以逾46亿元购入屯门「限呎」住宅地，每平方呎楼面地价3,522元，低于市场估值下限，较两年前同区地价低逾4成，重返6年前地价水平。长实预计总额超逾130亿元，并表示对香港地产市道前景极具信心。

今次批出的屯门青山公路大欖段「限呎」住宅地，今年4月曾经招标，惟最终未及政府底价而流标，今次重推于上周截收5份标书。地政总署昨日公布，地皮最终由长实以46.01亿元投得，每平方呎楼面地价约3,522元，较市场估值下限约48亿元 (每平方呎楼面地价约3,700元)，低出约5%，稍逊于市场预期。

指对港地产前景 极具信心

扫管笏对上一次批出的地皮，为佳兆业 (01638) 于2020年，以每平方呎6,005元投得屯门第48区地皮，今次地价相较低出4成。若果跟比邻地皮的 OMA by the Sea，在2016年6月由永泰地产 (00369) 以每平方呎约3,343元投得相若，可见今次地价重回约6年前水平。

长实执行董事赵国雄称，集团一直积极参与投地，全因对香港地产市道前景极具信心。他又提到，地皮面积大、建筑上有一定难度，且涉及的单位数量多，估计连同地价及发展费用计算，投资总额料超过130亿元。至于长实与新地  (00016) 合作的飞扬，项目于2018年底以逾17.31亿元完成补地价，每平方呎补地价约4,990元。

估计落成后 呎价卖逾1.36万

若果以总投资额130亿元计算，计及「10%发水楼面」、8成实用率等因素，项目预计落成后实用呎价约1.36万元便有合理利润，参考EPRC经济地产库资料，地皮周边近半年平均成交实用呎价约1.36万至1.63万元，而长实旗下飞扬近期平均呎价则约1.54万元。

有测量师直言，鑑于地皮位处斜坡，而且规模大，加上中间设有油站，增加日后发展时的困难及成本，相信是次售价已经反映该等因素，形容成交价为「笋价」。该测量师又直言，是次长实中标与上周沽出半山西部项目的关连不大，相信长实「低价就买」。

地皮上周接获5份标书，与今年4月首次招标相同，其餘4家入标财团，包括恒地 (00012)、新地、信置 (00083) 及佳明 (01271)，全数以独资形式竞投。

长实换货高卖低买 双赢补土储

长实 (01113) 在短短一周使出「连环技」一买一卖，将半山豪宅盘沽货，换货低价吸纳屯门限呎地，将建新界上车盘；这边厢在楼市高峰期锁定利润套现，那边厢则补充了土地储备，维持货如轮转的策略。

长实近年在地产市道再次变得活跃，大约每半年就有不少大手买卖。先在买地方面，由2020年起至今5度投得官地及市建局项目，合共涉资逾265亿元，单是今年8个月内，已经斥逾百亿元投得土瓜湾项目，及今次屯门扫管笏地皮。

近期策略 低吸上车大型地皮

至于沽货方面，长实单是今年3月沽出伦敦商厦，以及上周以208亿沽出半山西部豪宅21 BORRETT ROAD项目，共套现达332亿元，不但成功锁定了项目利润，亦对其现金流有相当帮助，单是沽出的两个大型项目，已经足够抵销过去几年买地开支。

长实近期的策略，是沽出贵重的重磅项目套现，然后趁低吸纳地价较低，并主攻上车的大型地皮，例如今次屯门大欖限呎地，以及观塘安达臣道的「港人首置盘」地皮，两地每平方呎楼面地价均约3,000多至4,000多元，地皮均主攻上车客源，可见长实重回过往「货如轮转」、薄利多销的营运模式。

据一间代理行统计，上季第三季新盘成交量共录3,560宗，9成属于金额在1,000万元以下上车盘，而逾千万元以上成交仅364宗，按季减少7成，反映上车购买力主导市场。

罗守辉「减磅」放售12乙厦物业 总意向价逾5亿 加佣至3%促销

联储局半年五度加息，本港亦自2018年以来再次跟随调高利率，楼市气氛转差，投资物业市场交投再减，投资者遂积极放售物业。综合市场消息及资讯，资深投资者、裕泰兴家族成员罗守辉及有关人士大规模放售旗下乙级商厦物业，涉最少12项，俱为全层单位，意向价总值逾5亿元，并加佣至3%促销。

俱为全层单位 11项处湾仔

据了解，罗守辉及有关人士正放售12项乙级商厦物业，当中11项来自湾仔区，餘下1项则在油麻地，大部分都在2010至2017年期间购入，现时每项物业叫价由2180万至6500万元，涉及总值逾5.07亿元。代理透露，为加快物业出售速度，卖家近期加佣至3%，较正常1%多出两倍。

当中，叫价最高的物业为湾仔告士打道221至226号海联大厦7楼全层，建筑面积4721方呎，叫价为6500万元，呎价约13768元。该层现分间为4个单位，享全海景，当中两个租出，月租共19.3万元。该层于2017年以4818万元购入，目前放售价较买入价高1682万元或34.9%。

同一时间，亦有放售同一地段告士打道166至168号信和财务大厦1楼及2楼两层，每层建筑面积3050方呎，现每层以3812.5万元放售，呎价约12500元，合共价值7625万元。至于湾仔轩尼诗道258号德士古大厦2楼全层，建筑面积约4200方呎，半年前已经以5796万元放盘，上月降价至4536万元，呎价约10800元，减幅逾两成，虽然如此，仍较2014年的买入价2748.9万元，高出65%。

油麻地商厦入市半年即觅买家

罗守辉及有关人士除放卖已购入一段时间的物业外，亦有商厦单位「即买即放」，例如今年3月才以1420万元向资深投资者「铺王」邓成波家族购入油麻地弥敦道570至572号基利商业大厦4楼全层，建筑面积约2154方呎，连一个约1054方呎平台，目前正以2180万元放盘，呎价约10121元，较半年前购入价高760万元或53.5%。

是次在市场上推售的12项乙级商厦物业，有10个在2006年至2017年期间购入，入市成本较低，故12项物业总购入价逾3亿元，若以放售价总值逾5.07亿元沽出，料仍可获不俗利润。

事实上，罗守辉及有关人士今年初仍有购入物业投资，包括商厦及地铺等，但3月起开始积极沽售物业，至今半年间已最少卖出12项物业，包括全幢商厦、地铺、乙级商厦全层及工厦全层，合共已套现最少约6.5亿元；其中最大宗为9月以2.75亿元售出中环皇后大道中118至120号一幢商厦。

Goldman Sachs tips home prices to fall for two years

Goldman Sachs forecast that home prices in Hong Kong will fall by 15 percent this year and another 15 percent in 2023.

That came as more shop deals were recorded in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay.

Hong Kong's property market has dropped sharply by about 8 percent since the year, mainly due to the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate soaring by 250 basis points recently and local banks raising their prime rates.

Based on expectations that the Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates to 1.5 percent in the first three months of next year, Goldman Sachs believes there are downside risks to the Hong Kong property market.

Amid expectations of a reopening of the border with the mainland, there was a clutch of transactions involving shops in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay, including the Luen Shing Building in Central sold by veteran property investor Francis Law Sau-fai for HK$275 million, an appreciation of eight times in 20 years.

Law bought it in 2002 for about HK$30.39 million and held it for about 20 years, making a paper profit of about HK$245 million.

A shop owned by veteran property investor Choi Chi-chung in Mei Foo Sun Chuen was sold to a southeast Asian buyer for HK$13 million, or HK$8,491 per square foot.

With its monthly rent being HK$35,000, the yield is about 3.2 percent.

Since 2019, the vacancy rate of shops has gradually increased, with the total exceeding 140 football pitches due to the huge pressure piled on by rents.

For its part, the Land Registry received 4,835 notifications of sales and purchase transactions in September, a drop of 7.7 percent from August and 34.7 percent year on year.

Total turnover was HK$34.8 billion, down 62 percent month on month and 48 percent year on year.

In the primary market, Wetland Seasons Bay phase 3, a Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) project in Tin Shui Wai, has received about 900 checks for its third round of sales, or an oversubscription of over 19 times for the 45 units on the list.

Hong Kong home prices could nosedive 30 per cent through 2023 as interest rates repel buyers, Goldman Sachs forecasts

The American investment bank issues a pessimistic revision of an earlier forecast that predicted a 20 per cent decline

High mortgage rates will continue to reduce affordability and keep investors away without better economic conditions or more policy support, the bank says

Hong Kong home prices are set to plummet by as much as 30 per cent by the end of 2023, as sharply increasing interest rates continue to make homes less affordable and repel investors from the market, according to Goldman Sachs.

The American investment bank, after revising its forecast downwards on Tuesday, now expects prices to fall by 15 per cent in both 2022 and 2023, compared with year-end 2021 levels, followed by no change in 2024. It had earlier predicted that prices would fall by a total of 20 per cent through 2024.

“This view change is due to a faster-than-expected rise in and higher medium-term level of Hibor, and hence mortgage rates,” the bank said in a report, referring to the Hong Kong interbank offered rate. “This would continue to pressure affordability, [and] keep investors away from the market unless macro or policy becomes more supportive.”

Hibor is the interest rate banks charge each other for borrowing money. The one-month Hibor has soared to over 2.5 per cent – the highest level in more than 2.5 years.

Goldman Sachs’ forecast came after prices of lived-in homes fell by 2.3 per cent in August to their lowest level in three-and-a-half years, according to government data.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has lifted its base interest rate five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high, in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve. Commercial banks including HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong) raised their prime rates to a four-year high.

The HKMA also asked banks to lower the threshold on interest-rate stress testing for mortgage lending.

Goldman Sachs noted that home prices have dropped by about 8 per cent year-to-date due to the rapid rise in the one-month Hibor and the recent prime rate hike, which came on September 22.

“With another 150 basis points of Federal [Reserve] rate hikes expected by the first quarter of 2023, we expect further downside risks to the residential property market, which could mean continued price falls and low transaction activity,” the report said. “We believe a 30 per cent price correction is more likely.”

Other factors include a supply of properties that is gradually rising with higher plot ratios for farmland and the release of more public supply. Meanwhile, the city’s border with mainland China is largely closed and an emigration wave has led to the biggest decline in the number of households in Hong Kong in 25 years, according to the report.

This supply-demand dynamic would not be threatening, in and of itself, for residential property prices, but comes at the same time rates are rising and household incomes remain stagnant, exaggerating the pressure on prices, the report said.

Meanwhile, the total number of property transactions, including residential, commercial and industrial properties as well as parking spaces, fell 7.7 per cent month over month and 34.7 per cent year over year in September, recording a six-month low of 4,835, according to data from the Land Registry.

Transaction value hit a 32-month-low of HK$34.8 billion (US$4.4 billion), down 62 per cent from August and 48 per cent from September 2021.

Property transactions are likely to hit a historic low of 65,000 this year, according to a forecast by a property agency. That would be the lowest level since 1996, according to government records. The previous record low of 70,503 registrations was reported in 2013.

A lack of macroeconomic and policy catalysts has kept investors on the sidelines, with the next key event being Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu’s policy address on October 19, the Goldman Sachs report said.

Li Ka-shing’s CK Asset pays US$586 million for Hong Kong land parcel subject to government’s minimum flat-size rule

The plot of land on Castle Peak Road sold for HK$3,522 per square foot, far below the HK$6,500 it was expected to fetch in an earlier failed tender

An April tender for the parcel – the first subject to the government’s minimum flat size requirement – failed to attract any bids that met the reserve price

CK Asset won a tender for a parcel of land in Tuen Mun for a price lower than market expectations after an earlier tender – the first subject to the government’s minimum flat-size requirement – failed to attract any satisfactory bids in April.

The flagship developer of tycoon Li Ka-shing’s family won the parcel on Castle Peak Road – Tai Lam, Tuen Mun in northwestern Hong Kong for HK$4.6 billion (US$586 million), the Lands Department said on Wednesday.

Henderson Land Development Company, Sino Land, Grand Ming Group Holdings and Sun Hung Kai Properties also bid for the parcel.

The price translates to just HK$3,522 per square foot, “slightly lower than the lower limit of market expectations”, according to a surveyor.

When it was first launched in April, another surveyor valued the land at HK$6,000 to HK$6,500 per square foot, or HK$7.8 billion to HK$8.5 billion. In July, the surveyor slashed the valuation to HK$5,000 to HK$5,500 per square foot, or HK$6.5 billion to HK$7.2 billion.

“The size of the land and the amount of investment are relatively large,” the surveyor said. The land can yield 1.31 million sq ft of gross floor area and at least 2,000 flats, Lam said.

The tender in April attracted only five bids, none of which met the government’s reserve price. The now successful tender shows that the government is adapting to market changes and adjusting the reserve price according to market conditions, which can also ensure future housing supply, the surveyor added.

“Coupled with the recent market conditions, developers are expected to be more cautious in their bids,” the surveyor said.

Last December, the Hong Kong government set a 280 sq ft minimum size for flats built on government land.

The relaunch of the Tuen Mun site “in a short time” after the original tender failed, “reflected the government’s determination to let the people live in bigger homes”, think tank Our Hong Kong Foundation said in July.

Chinese President Xi Jinping instructed John Lee Ka-chiu, Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, on the 25th anniversary of the city’s handover to China, that his administration should “strive to deliver” what “the people of Hong Kong desire – a better life, a bigger flat, more business start-up opportunities, better education and better elderly care”.

受疫情等因素冲击，核心区甲厦租金急下滑，金鐘力宝中心最新录1宗承租，一个中层单位，于交吉半年后，以每呎33元租出。

上址为力宝中心一座高层03室，建筑面积约1299方呎，以每呎33元租出，该铺位开则一般，景观望政府总部，旧租客于今年3月迁出，交吉半年始租出。

单位交吉约半年

早前，力宝中心一座中层6室，建筑面积约2100方呎，以每呎约45元租出，月租约9.45万，租户于今年2月租约届满迁出，旧租每呎53元，业主亦将单位重新放租，故最新租金较旧租金下跌约37%，属贴市水平。

事实上，该甲厦于疫市下租金备受压力，资料显示，该厦2座高层相连单位，再早前以每呎约49元租出，较旧租金急挫逾3成；据业内人士指出，力宝中心于疫市租金跌幅「最伤」，主要因为该甲厦早已卖散业权，各小业主于租务市场上可谓「各自为政」，为免单位丢空，业主愿减租吸客。

至于买卖方面，该甲厦早前成交为2座高层2室，属多按物业，建筑面积1341方呎，以3710万售出。地产代理指出，2016年起业主曾3次向多家财务公司承造按揭，成交价属市价水平，买家为中资企业。

外资代理行：受新商厦预租带动 上季写字楼净吸纳量18.3万呎

整体写字楼租务淡静，租金持续下调，根据一间外资代理行数据，整体甲厦租金按季回落2.3%，年初至今累跌4%，并以尖沙嘴区和中区超甲厦的跌幅较明显，分别按季跌3.1%和2.4%，各区平均租金从2019年4月份高位至今累跌29%。第三季整体净吸纳量，主要受新落成甲厦预租面积所带动，录18.3万方呎。

该行代理表示，随着防疫及隔离措施放宽，相信第四季度租金下跌幅度有望收窄，将横行一段时间，预测全年租金跌幅介乎3%至5%。

整体甲厦租金按季跌2.3%

吸纳量方面，第三季整体净吸纳量，主要受新落成甲厦预租面积所带动，录18.3万方呎，加上季内约有200万方呎新写字楼楼面落成，促使整体待租率由第二季的13.8%升至16.1%，整体待租面积逾1000万方呎。

铺位空置下跌，铜锣湾和中环空置率下降至5.3%及8.5%，为疫情以来低位，但部分租约属短租，九龙区尖沙嘴和旺角空置率则分别微升至16.7%及12.5%。

料明年铺租重拾动力

该行另一代理表示，踏入传统节日旺季，短期租约将更受欢迎，料商铺空置率在年底前进一步改善。租金方面，除非政府再推出更多利好零售市场的政策，否则预期街铺租金到明年上半年后才能重拾动力。

民生区商铺如元朗、屯门相对平稳，惟核心区街铺持续受压，铜锣湾和尖沙嘴铺租按季分别跌1.9%及1.2%，年初至今分别累跌7.6%和5.1%。

上月录311宗工商铺註册

有代理行综合土地註册处资料显示，上月工商铺註册量录311宗，按月下跌15.3%，註册金额录36.22亿，按月减少约24.4%。该行预料，註册数字于进一步通关前将维持较低水平。

代理行：按月跌15.3%

9月份工商铺註册宗数全綫下跌。工厦及商铺分别按月降约11.3%及10.1%，各录173及80宗。商厦註册量按月跌约30.1%，录58宗。9月份整体註册宗数最新录311宗，数字再度跌至今年低位，按月挫约15.3%。9月份整体註册金额录36.22亿，按月跌约24.4%。

造价逾亿註册仅录4宗

除5000万以上至1亿物业，其他金额全录下跌。註册量最多的为500万以下物业，共录164宗，按月跌13.2%。逾500万以上至1000万共录66宗，按月下降约18.5%。逾1000万以上至2000万共录39宗，按月下降约22%。逾2000万至5000万录5.8%按月跌幅，共录32宗。逾5000万至1亿微升，共录6宗，按月升20%。9月逾1亿物业按月急挫50%，註册宗数仅录4宗，按月减少4宗，包括湾仔告士打道200号新银集团中心12楼全层及尖沙嘴半岛中心作价分别1.55亿、1.05亿。

市建土瓜湾「小区」项目收7标书 大中小财团群起角逐 「一口价」成关键

市建局土瓜湾第四个以「小区模式」发展的荣光街 / 崇安街发展项目，于昨日截标，该局公布合共接获7份标书，吸引多家本地大中小型发展商以独资方式竞投，另有发展商合组财团竞投。业界人士指，项目位处市区，发展规模适中，出价已考虑加息及其他因素；综合市场估值约30.6亿至36.2亿，每方呎估值约1.1万至1.3万。

荣光街 / 崇安街发展项目于8月初共收31份意向书，上月初邀请31家财团入标竞投，昨日结束约两个月的招标程序，市建局昨公布，合共接获7份标书，数目与该局于同区的鸿福街及啟明街四个重建项目合併发展相同。综合记者现场所见及市场消息指，吸引多家「本地薑」竞投，包括长实、新地、恒基、会德丰地产、英皇及鹰君，而信和伙拍招商局置地合组财团，递交有关项目标书。

市建局指，该局董事会设立的招标遴选小组将评审各标书，并会就批出项目发展协议向董事会提交建议，由董事会作最终决定。

会德丰何伟锦：出价考虑加息

会德丰地产高级经理 (物业发展) 何伟锦表示，该项目邻近铁路站，而且日后落成后部分单位可享海景，初步计画主打细单位，并透露集团以独资方式入标，出价已考虑近期市况及加息因素。

英皇蔡宏基：发展规模适中

英皇国际物业经理蔡宏基指出，集团以独资方式竞投，出价已考虑加息及其他因素；认为项目规模适中，而且地皮可享较优质海景，而且土瓜湾「小区」发展成熟，加上本港住屋刚性需求强烈，料发展中小型单位为主。

有测量师指，项目规模适中，将来部分单位可享远海景，认为价钱有保证；不过由于该项目位于整个「小区」的边陲，且商业部分有一定限制，如共同持有年期及分成等。

另一测量师表示，项目地盘面积细，涉及投资额不多，项目东南至东北面靠近学校，建筑物较矮，料日后单位可享土瓜湾避风塘海景。综合市场估值约30.6亿至36.2亿，每方呎估值约1.1万至1.3万。

该项目邻近港铁土瓜湾站，步行前往约5至6分鐘；地盘面积约3.1万方呎，可建总楼面约27.86万方呎，发展规模是目前已推出项目中最细，估计可以提供约560伙。市场消息指出，项目售楼收益达60亿后，中标财团便须与市建局分红，达标后首1亿须分红两成，其后分红比例以每1亿为一组递增；当收入达63亿以上，分红划一为50%。而且发展商亦须向市建局自行提出「一口价」建议，将成为胜负的关键。

商场部分，属市建局及中标财团共同持有，租金收益由中标财团和市建局以「七三」比例瓜分，租金收入中标财团佔七成，其餘三成收益则归市建局；另外，该项目设有限呎条款，面积不得少于300方呎，同时规定至少一半面积不可超过480方呎。

憧憬通关 啟德甲厦两年首录租务

跨企进驻 AIRSIDE 约3.75万呎 呎租30较意向跌4成

憧憬通关，企业趁租金回落租全新甲厦。南丰旗下啟德地标甲厦 AIRSIDE 招租两年后首录预租，全层约3.75万平方呎获跨国採购公司租用，呎租料约30元，远较招租期间跌约4成。业界人士认为，若续放宽入境措施，可进一步刺激商厦租务。

市场消息指，即将落成的啟德 AIRSIDE，录得首宗写字楼租务成交，涉及物业22楼全层，面积约3.75万平方呎。据悉，新租客为一家跨国採购公司，主要业务为生产及採购家庭电器、厨具等。据了解，该租客原租用大角咀嘉运大厦约2万多呎办公室，由于业主将重建物业，故需寻找新写字楼，现搬至全新甲厦，兼作出楼面扩充。

南丰246亿夺地 打造啟德新地标

消息称，是次成交呎租约30元，翻查资料，南丰于2020年尾时开始为 AIRSIDE 进行招租，当时环球出现疫情近1年，因应市况业主方面表示项目商厦部分意向呎租约40元，已较原先的呎租50元向下调。

可是疫情下持续封关，商务活动暂缓，冲击商厦租务，而该厦于本年初，曾一度传出有中资银行旗下证券公司洽租，惟最终未有成事，直至近日才获租客首进驻。招租长达两年，按成交呎租计，较预先下调约4成。相信是次因首宗成交，业主提供少许优惠，料通关后租务增加，呎租有力回升。

南丰于2017年以246亿元，投得啟德商业地皮，打破当时卖地纪录。项目楼高47层，当中30层为写字楼，涉及120万平方呎，而商厦每层面积约3.2万至5.3万平方呎，其中10至18楼为相连楼层，每层达5.3万平方呎，可谓全港极为罕有。另物业基座多层为商场，涉及约70万平方呎，预租情况不错，相比之下，写字楼部分则租务较慢。据了解，整个项目总投资金额高达340亿元，写字楼近日正式入伙，成啟德新地标。

巧明街98号 Agnes B预租

东九龙为甲厦新供应重镇，而区内大型项目渐获商户留意，市场消息指，新地  (00016) 旗下巧明街98号新甲厦项目录预租，涉及物业2座，约1万平方呎楼面，成交呎租约30元。据了解，新租客为时装品牌Agnes B，该品牌原租用太古城中心商厦，如今搬迁可提升物业质素，兼可节省少许租金。

新地旗下观塘巧明街98号九巴车厂重建项目今年尾落成，提供约115万平方呎楼面，其中约50万平方呎商场。据了解，暂时该厦已获大手预租，包括积金局租用8万平方呎楼面，作整合业务及扩充。

政府放宽入境措施至「0+3」，料可推动商务活动，有代理指出，近日商厦租务查询稍增，普遍跨国机构仍待「0+0」正式落实，企业可重新部署地区业务，以及海外机构来港设立办事处，新需求有望出现，可带动商厦租务活动转活跃。

该代理预计，若与内地成功通关，对九龙区租务将有更大刺激作用，因尖沙咀、红磡及九龙站甲厦租户，不少为从事中港业务公司，或中资大型机构，可进一步刺激租务活动。

商厦供应增 租金短期难「復常」

持续放宽防疫措施，无疑可带动商务活动。不过，商厦市道面对最大问题，是供应过剩及空置率高，在新需求下，租金也难明显反弹，而新甲厦质素上较佳，会有一定优势。

今明两年供应高峰 共逾千万呎

疫情至今近3年，因入境措施严谨，令商厦租务市场极为淡静。疫情前每年商厦平均吸纳量约170万至200万平方呎，但因疫情出现，跨国商务活动大幅降低，本港商厦租务活动，疫情期间绝大部分为搬迁个案，机构在搬迁过程大部分亦没有扩充，导致出现负吸纳情况。因此，若「0+0」实施，海外大型机构，可重新派员来港视察及洽商，租务活动必会加快，需求预计上升。

需求可望陆续復常，可是商厦供应过剩是一大问题。今明两年为甲厦供应高峰期，合共逾千万平方呎楼面落成，分布中环、东九龙、港东岛及长沙湾等地，每区均有大型项目。

同时，现时甲厦空置率约10%，市场上已有千万平方呎空置楼面，连同大批新供应，即使市道復常，也难在三两年间消化，可以预期甲厦租务活动改善，但业主在租金叫价上，因竞争大而略为降低，故租金难以反弹。两年多的疫情，甲厦租金已有3成调整，若有新需求带动，进一步下挫机会不高，料较平稳发展。

由于空置楼面多，租客选择亦多，故除了租金差别外，物业质素成为租客选择重要条件之一。新落成的甲厦，始终单位楼底高，设备最新，业主亦不敢叫价进取，故在租务市场上抢客时，较旧式商厦优胜。

Only big guns stay in fray for To Kwa Wan project

The big four local developers including CK Asset (1113), Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), Henderson Land Development (0012) and Wheelock Properties were among seven bidders for the Urban Renewal Authority's Wing Kwong Street / Sung On Street development project in To Kwa Wan.

The project had attracted 31 expressions of interest in August and the URA had invited all 31 developers/consortia to bid.

The other bidders included Sino Land (0083), China Overseas Land & Investment (0688) and Emperor International Holdings (0163).

The project, which covers a site area of 2,876 square meters, is planned to provide a maximum total gross floor area of 25,884 sq m upon completion.

A surveyor expects the project to be valued at about HK$3.34 billion as it has a harbor view and also near the Tuen Ma Line.

The residential part of the project is expected to provide about 230,000 square feet with 560 small and medium flats. The commercial and retail parts will be about 46,000 sq ft.

The winning bidder will pay a dividend to the URA when the sale proceeds exceed HK$6 billion.

The project includes a shopping mall in which the developer will have a 70 percent stake, with the URA holding 30 percent.

There are restrictions on the size of the flats for the project. The area of the flats should not be less than 300 sq ft and half of the flats should be less than 480 sq ft.

Last month, Henderson Land won the bid for an old building in To Kwa Wan via a compulsory sale with a reserve price of HK$1.21 billion, a move further expanding its development in the area.

Meanwhile, the owner of a flat at the Grand Marini in Lohas Park took a HK$380,000 hit after selling the unit for HK$10.3 million, down from the HK$10.68 million paid for the property in 2019.

In other news, office rents fell by 2.3 percent quarter-on-quarter but the decline is expected to narrow in the fourth quarter with an annual decrease ranging from 3 to 5 percent, according to a property agency.

Meanwhile, the street store vacancy rate in Causeway Bay was 5.3 percent and Central was 8.5 percent. They have fallen to their lowest levels since the pandemic, despite some being short-term leases, while vacancy rates in Tsim Sha Tsui and Mongkok in Kowloon rose slightly to 16.7 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively.

近日，金鐘力宝中心一个单位，以每呎33元，平该厦近年新低价，自从疫情以来，力宝中心早于去年2月及5月皆录得呎租33元，当衡量单位不同质素时，33元可以是廉价，但亦可能是市价。

力宝中心于2010年6月曾录呎租32元，呎租33元，则属过去约11年新低纪录。

「三角」则实用率62%

最新租出的1座高层03室，建筑面积约1299方呎，该单位属「三角」则，实用率只有62%，单位内有顶心柱，景观为政府总部，不过，拥有玻璃房间，装修很不错，旧租客于今年3月迁出，交吉半年始租出。

去年5月以每呎33元租出的是优质单位，1座32楼D室，建筑面积约2343方呎，位处高层，面向正车立位，且外望开扬山景，旧租客为律师行以每呎55元租用，迁出后，于2019年6月起放租，初时每呎叫租65元，最后丢空近两年后，以每呎33元租出，月租约7.73万。该单位由内地客持有，于2017年3月以2.05348亿购入32楼C室及D室，建筑面积7898方呎，以平均呎价2.6万计算，回报只有约1.5厘。

2021年2月，力宝中心一座26楼3B室，建筑面积2230方呎，以每月约7.4万元租出，呎租约33元。

上月工商铺买卖约246宗 代理行：连续3个月下跌

受加息阴霾影响，工商铺市场淡静。据本港一间代理行统计，9月份共录约246宗买卖，金额约126.26亿。宗数连续三个月下跌，按月跌逾20%，为2020年4月后新低，金额则见上升，主因月内录全幢甲厦成交。

宗数按月减约28%

该行代理表示，根据资料，9月份共录约246宗工商铺买卖，按月减约28%，连续三个月跌势，是今年度首次跌破300宗水平，亦是2020年4月后新低。金额共约126.26亿，较8月份跃升约1.15倍，最瞩目的为九龙湾啟祥道17号高银金融国际中心易手，作价约70亿，成为今年以来暂录最大额成交。酒店成为另一项投资焦点。有共居品牌斥资约32亿连环购入观塘旺角两幢酒店，分别为观塘悦品海景酒店及旺角旭逸酒店。

高银金融国际中心全幢最瞩目

该代理指，工厦市场同样呈量跌价升。9月份工厦成交宗数约158宗，按月回落约20%；金额约30.70亿元，较8月份升约25%。9月份仅录得约62宗，金额约20.44亿；对比上月表现未见理想，分别急跌约47%及25%，单月宗数更为2020年7月后新低。

该代理认为，整体工商铺市场受疫情及加息等利淡因素影响，表现回落，但长远而言，本港疫情受控，加上入境检疫安排放宽，为全面通关缔造有利条件，加上《施政报告》及中共二十大即将举行，提振经济预计成为重点，相信届时工商铺投资气氛被带动，当中核心区商铺可望率先反弹。

华瑞看好中港市场前景 购半山波老道豪宅拟分拆出售

长实集团上月底公布，以总代价逾207亿，悉售港岛半山波老道超级豪宅项目未售单位及全部车位，买家为新加坡基金LC Vision Capital。长实执行董事赵国雄表示，集团一直维持货如轮转的策略，因此价格合适便决定出售。负责成立及管理上述基金的华瑞资本，其合伙人阮思玲则表示，这是该基金首次投资物业市场，亦是华瑞重返香港后第一项投资，又说会继续与长实及投资者研究，令该项投资价值最大化，包括以适当的价格出售相关的住宅单位和停车场车位。

LCVisionCapital购入

赵国雄表示，长实是发展商，所以一直维持货如轮转的策略，旗下物业只要价格合适便会出售，又透露早前亦曾有其他买家洽购，只是出价未达要求，所以未有达成协议。他又说，是次出售所得资金，将会用作其他投资，例如最近集团亦有竞投政府招标的土地，因此不会考虑派发特别股息。

保留资金作其他投资

对于有指今次长实是「卖平咗」，赵国雄指买家是整批购入该项目，因此给予折扣很正常，又称有关交易去年底开始洽谈，历时大约9个月，期间本港豪宅价格没有太大变动。

他又说，由于买方要计算内部回报率，若一次过动用庞大资金进行投资，会影响其回报，因此长实为买家提供融资安排。他又说，由于交易是以股份转让形式进行，因此买方可以随时分拆出售，长实将会替买方负责销售事宜，价格则由对方决定。

管理资产达60亿美元

阮思玲表示，购入该项目后会保留作收租用途，抑或分拆出售，暂时还未有最终计画，但会继续与长实及投资者进行研究，令该项投资价值最大化，并会以适当的价格出售相关的住宅单位和停车场车位。

她又说，华瑞于2017年成立，与对冲基金不同，公司属多家族办公室，管理资产规模达60亿美元，今次购入波老道项目，是华瑞重返香港后第一项投资，选择香港是因为看好中港市场前景，又形容这是对香港、大湾区及中国内地有信心的表现。

阮思玲指出，未来数年中国经济表现将会一枝独秀；大湾区去年本地生产总值，已经相当于加拿大，并且高过韩国。香港方面，根据新加坡的经验，当全面恢復通关之后，相信反弹会很快。

她又称，内地提出发展数据中心的策略，其中一个重点是将大湾区打造成数据中心枢纽，当企业陆续进驻之后，需要聘请高管及专业人才，他们对高端豪宅的居住需求，会为这类物业带来支持。

问及在港还有没有其他投资，阮思玲说暂时没有，但会对所有投资项目持开放态度，又指作为多家族办公室，目标是替高资产净值家族及企业家，制订合适的投资方案，因此不会集中某一项资产类别，又透露华瑞目前已经与超过十五家投资银行连接。

对所有投资持开放态度

对于最近相继有新加坡资金购入本港贵重物业，是否意味本港物业市场已经出现拐点，她说买入波老道项目，其中一个考虑因素为是否有合理回报，不代表其他新加坡资金对香港的看法。

阮思玲又期望香港政府提供更多政策支持，例如架构配合及税务优惠，藉此吸弔更多家族办公室来港。

长实于上月底公布，以公司股份转售方式，出售波老道21号项目未售出的152个住宅单位，以及242个住宅停车位、31个电单车位予新加坡基金LC Vision Capital，总代价逾207.66亿，住宅部分呎价6.2万，估计获得收益63亿。

灵活办公室需求升 疫下加速发展

TEC朱双珠：宽入境带动商业活动 气氛转好

放宽入境检疫措施可推动租务，商务中心品牌TEC认为，香港作为金融中心，应该持续放宽措施以带动商业活动。集团亦指，疫情加快灵活办公模式，未来尚有很大发展空间，故续物色据点扩充。

疫情持续两年多，商务活动受严重影响，直至近日政府放宽入境措施至「0+3」，TEC港澳台董事总经理朱双珠 (Nadia Zhu) 认为，新措施是正面消息，惟认为仍然不足够，「作为一个国际金融中心，香港怎能持续封关？现喜见0+3的出现，当然完全放宽最好。」

她预计，放宽至完全通关，不能肯定一下子商务活动大幅增加，至少气氛明显转好。日后举办金融峰会，可带动商务活动。

第3季共享新租务 佔整体1成

整体商厦租务市场受疫情影响，近一年整体颇为淡静，而在疫情期间，却造就灵活办公室兴起，相关品牌纷扩充。据一间外资代理行数字显示，在2021至2022年，分别有21.9万及16.4万平方呎商厦租务成交，涉及共享空间、灵活办公室，单计今年第三季，已佔整体商厦新租务约1成。

她指出，跨国公司对灵活办公空间的需求持续上升，而灵活办公空间将永久成为办公空间策略的一部分，疫情更是加速灵活办公 (FLEX) 发展。整体甲厦空置率高，她指灵活办公室与传统甲厦有点不同，「当市场出现变化，机构有需要缩减业务，更会对商务中心、灵活办公楼面感兴趣。」

TEC疫市下扩充，集团位于中环士丹利街28号新据点近日开幕，成为集团在港第13个据点。涉及该厦全幢19层，总楼面约5.5万平方呎，提供500个办公位。中心设有专属的休憩楼层，设有餐饮，以及共享办公楼层，现时出租率已达85%，以开业个多月来说相当不错。

据了解，该物业为中环老牌业主早年进行重建，今年落成，而TEC与业主是次属合作模式发展，并非传统业主与租客关係，朱双珠指此模式有利双方日后续寻找机会。

分店选址上，多间共享空间品牌积极扩充，分店遍布港九，而TEC暂时主力发展核心区，在13个据点上，几乎全数位于中区，另3据点设于港岛东太古坊，总楼面合共约30万平方呎，她指随着TEC的近期扩张，品牌已经佔据中环和金鐘的甲级灵活办公市场总面积的65%，优势有助巩固业务。对于未来扩充计划，她谓只要地点合适，不一定要在核心区，会续寻找机会。

卓悦弃守旺角 单边铺结业 传时装店40万承租 较旧约平27%

受新冠肺炎疫情影响，旅客数量大跌，尤其主要来港购物的内地自由客锐减，令一眾主攻内地客的零售商难以度过零售寒冬。本地化妆品零售商卓悦 (00653) 近年屡传欠租，原来已低调将旺角所有分店结业，包括最后一个据点西洋菜南街及山东街交界约2700方呎大型铺位，亦在近期关店，据知铺位随即以每月约40万元租出。

高峰期打通毗邻 每月逾250万

卓悦在旺角最后一家分店位于旺角西洋菜南街7至19号好望角大厦地下19号铺，建筑面积约2700方呎，属西洋菜南街及山东街交界大单边铺，在近期终告结业，铺位并已围板并拆卸装修。据代理透露，铺位已获一家时装店承租，月租料约40万元，呎租约148元。

据了解，卓悦早于1999年起已在好望角大厦地下开设分店，当时只租用地下19号铺的其中部分铺位，建筑面积只有约1000方呎。其后因自由行热潮带动生意额，不断作扩充，直至2012年时打通好望角大厦地下17至19号铺租用成为旗舰店，建筑面积达5200方呎，高峰期月租逾250万元。

直至2017年，由于零售业境况大不如前，铺位月租已减至128万元，较高位下跌近半。惟受社会运动及疫情接连重挫，好望角大厦地铺业主曾在2020年中入稟高院向卓悦追讨欠租。直到同年底，卓悦一度拟放弃该旗舰店，最后决定减租建筑面积约2500方呎的17号铺，而保留大单边的19号铺，月租支出大削57%至约55万元。至于17号铺，最终更由主要竞争对手莎莎 (00178) 租用。

不过，由于香港长时间未开放通关，旅游区生意难復全盛时期水平，卓悦亦只好决定弃守旺角，关闭区内租用时间最长的最后一家分店。而最新时装店租金，较卓悦旧租低27.3%。

西洋菜南街曾有4分店

据资料显示，卓悦在疫情爆发前的2019年，在旺角区内共有7间分店，当中有4间位于西洋菜南街。不过，在疫情及饱受欠租问题困扰下，卓悦已经大幅收缩规模，直至今年初，旺角仅餘好望角大厦地下，以及旺角中心地下两间分店。随着旺角中心地下分店在6月份已结业，加上最新好望角大厦地下都关门大吉，该品牌正式撤出旺角。而卓悦的官方网页显示，该品牌全港只餘下6间分店，旅游区只有尖沙咀、铜锣湾和中环各有一间店铺。

至于在今年6月结业的弥敦道688号旺角中心地下GSA至GSS铺分店，丢空至今4个月仍为吉铺。该铺位由7个铺位打通而成，总建筑面积4222方呎，卓悦在2008年起租用，租金由最初30.5万元，直至结业前约58万元，呎租137元。目前业主以50万元放租，较卓悦旧租低8万元或13.8%；另业主考虑将铺位间细出租。

卓悦近年新旧股东纠纷不断，其创办人叶俊亨与妻子钟佩云在2020年初将40.4%卓悦股份，售予现任主席兼大股东陈健文，二人不再是集团的主要股东。2021年钟佩云曾入稟高等法院，向卓悦子公司卓悦化粧品批发中心追讨欠款，而叶俊亨亦向卓悦主席陈健文提出追讨欠款，但叶俊亨及钟佩云被指与集团利益出现重大冲突，在2021年6月29日的股东特别大会上被罢免职务。

Home buyers put plans on hold

Home transactions in major housing estates in Hong Kong fell as buyers adopted a wait-and-see attitude before the Chief Executive's policy address on October 19 despite sellers making deeper price cuts.

A property agency recorded six transactions over the weekend in the 10 major housing estates it tracks. That was four less than the previous weekend to hit a 10-week low.

An agent said that despite the price cuts in the secondary market and no new projects for home buyers, the prospective purchasers were waiting to see if there could be news that could work to their advantage emerging from the Chinese Communist Party's congress in Beijing or from the policy address.

"There might be no relaxation measures for the property market in the policy address, but there will be an opportunity to relax the restrictions on mainland people and foreigners coming to Hong Kong to buy properties," the agent said.

"Both buyers and sellers are waiting for more clarity on the market conditions before making any moves."

However, as reflected in a more active viewing volume, prospective buyers do appear optimistic about prospects than in the third quarter, especially after a lowering of the interest rate stress testing requirement.

The agent believes that an announcement on housing policy in the policy address will indeed trigger property purchases.

Invesco relocates to Hongkong Land’s Jardine House, seizing on rising office vacancies, falling rents in Central

US money manager has leased 33,000 sq ft in the iconic Jardine House from November 1

The relocation trend in the Hong Kong office property market is likely to continue well into 2023 amid falling rents, according to a property agency

With prime office vacancy rates at record highs and rents continuing to slide in Hong Kong’s main business district of Central, tenants are making the most of the situation and moving to prestigious addresses.

US money manager Invesco is relocating its regional headquarters to Hongkong Land’s Jardine House.

The firm has signed a lease for 33,000 sq ft in the iconic building, known for its distinctive round windows, overlooking the Victoria Harbour from November 1.

“We believe that Invesco is moving back into Central as part of a wider trend we are seeing in the market of a flight to quality,” said Neil Anderson, director and head of office, commercial property, at Hongkong Land.

The companies did not provide any details about the lease.

“With Hong Kong as the heart of our regional operations, it’s rare to have this unique opportunity to move into one of the most iconic buildings in Central,” said Terry Pan, CEO for Greater China, Southeast Asia and Korea at Invesco.

The relocation trend in the Hong Kong office property market is likely to continue well into 2023, according to a property agency.

“Moving within the same district is always part of the trend of flight of quality moves,” agent said. “With rents now more attractive across the submarkets and landlords becoming more flexible, some of the tenants definitely will take this chance to look for premises in the more prime and central location and premises with better management or facilities.”

With some 2 million sq ft of new office space available in Hong Kong as of the end of the third quarter, the vacancy rate has risen to 16 per cent, up from 13.8 per cent in the second quarter, the agent said. Overall office rents declined by 2.3 per cent in the same period.

The move to Jardine House marks Invesco’s return to Hongkong Land’s Central portfolio. From 1998 to 2005, Invesco occupied two floors in Three Exchange Square, which is owned by Hongkong Land. It then moved to Champion Tower, also in Central, occupying space comparable to its new lease in Jardine House.

Rents in Champion Tower and Jardine House are comparable, averaging around HK$88.20 (US$11.2) per square foot at the former and HK$90 per square foot at the latter, according to analysts.

As of the first half of the year, banks, asset managers and other financial services companies accounted for more than 40 per cent of Hongkong Land’s office tenant profile in Central, according to the landlord.

The current downturn in Hong Kong’s office property market has been described by another property agency as its “longest and deepest”.

The property consultancy said that an additional 8.2 million sq ft of office space expected in the next two years coupled with record-high vacancies, will drag rents down by as much as 5 per cent this year and by another 5 to 10 per cent next year.

“There are multiple reasons companies relocate, even within the same district,” another agent said. “This could be to accommodate fluctuations in size, changes in workplace or management direction that may require a different approach to real estate.”

The agent gave the example of Christie’s move to The Henderson in 2024, which will allow the auction house to accommodate a change in their strategy.

“Sustainability scorecards are increasingly being used by businesses as they shortlist and sign up to new leases,” the agent added.

长实海韵轩酒店申改建1503伙

疫情下本港酒店业为重灾区之一，部分财团决定将酒店转作住宅发展。长实旗下红磡海韵轩海景酒店向城规会申请全幢改装，以提供约1503个住宅单位及约442个酒店房间，当中酒店房间数目较现时大减约78%。

据城规会文件显示，项目位于红磡红乐道12号，目前属「商业 (3)」地带，申请拟议分层住宅及准许的酒店、商店及服务行业和食肆用途并略为放宽私家车 / 货车公眾停车场的总楼面面积。

住宅总楼面逾80万呎

地盘面积约106994方呎，住宅部分总楼面约802090方呎，非住宅楼面约401756方呎。拟议发展将现时的海韵轩酒店改建成约1503个住宅单位及约442个酒店房间，当中酒店房间数目对比现时的1980个，大幅减少1538个或约78%。

现时该酒店共有3幢物业，是次改建住宅分布于第1座及第2座，而第3座则作酒店用途。据发展计画，在较低楼层则设有零售和餐饮设施。在优化地下至二楼的空间布局以容纳所需的内部运输设施、住宅和酒店大堂、机电设施等后，拟议发展能提供一个约149135方呎的公眾停车场。

酒店房大减约78%

由于所提供的总楼面面积比核准图规定作提供私家车/货车公眾停车场的不少于175453方呎的总楼面面积减少约15%，因此需要略为放宽私家车 / 货车公眾停车场的总楼面面积。

申请人指，拟议发展计画能在短期内提供约1503个住宅单位，与政府增加房屋土地供应的政策相符。而且设独立的出入口、电梯大堂等能够将同一楼宇内的住宅及酒店用途实际分开，并不会构成 协调问题及避免对将来住客造成滋扰。

而且红磡海滨原定旅游发展计画从未实现，申请地点作为尖沙嘴东部酒店中心区的扩展部分的功能已逐渐减弱。该地区有充足酒店房间供应，以应付预期旅游业復甦期间的需求。拟议发展计画不会增加现时建筑物的高度或体积，因此楷梯式的高度和视觉走廊将能保留。

资料显示，上述项目曾在2018年获屋宇署批建两幢29层高的商厦，以及1幢2层高的物业，总楼面约110.73万方呎。

Hong Kong’s reopening to revive office market from its longest and deepest slump, but upswing in rents will have to wait

The reopening of Hong Kong’s borders and a stabilising pandemic will act as a catalyst for moribund office market, says Swire Properties’ Don Taylor

Additional office space of 8.2 million sq ft expected in the next two years and record high vacancy rates are likely to push rents lower this year and next, says property consultancy

Demand for office space in Hong Kong will receive a boost from the city opening up to the rest of the world, but the segment still faces significant headwinds in the short to medium-term, according to one of the city’s largest landlords.

“With the gradual reopening of the international borders and the pandemic starting to stabilise, we anticipate that this could prove to be a catalyst for demand,” said Don Taylor, director of office at Swire Properties, noting that this would allow in-person inspections of real estate and also removes some of the uncertainty for international companies with regional offices here.

There is no doubt that, in the short to medium-term, the Hong Kong office market is up against some uncertainty, he added. “Given the current state of the Hong Kong economy, slowing growth in the Chinese mainland, the imbalance between demand and supply in the local office market, as well as the real threat of a global recession, rents are likely to remain under pressure into next year.”

But, given Hong Kong’s growing importance to the future of the Greater Bay Area and as a global financial centre, there will be continued demand for high quality grade A office space, he said.

The city’s economy shrank 1.4 per cent in the second quarter of this year, following a 3.9 per cent contraction in the first three-month period, confirming fears that stringent social-distancing curbs had affected economic activity far more adversely than initially estimated. In August, the government further cut its annual forecast for the city’s economy to between 0.5 per cent growth and 0.5 per cent contraction. It previously estimated growth of 1 to 2 per cent.

Meanwhile, China’s economy has also seen a considerable slowdown, as Beijing clings to a zero-Covid policy that has hobbled business operations across the country. The world’s second-largest economy grew at a slower-than-expected 0.4 per cent in the second quarter, reflecting the toll of wide-ranging lockdowns in the capital Beijing and financial hub Shanghai. The lockdowns hammered economic output and are also likely to put the nation’s 5.5 per cent growth target for this year out of reach.

The additional office space of 8.2 million sq ft expected in the next two years, according to a property consultancy, on top of the already record-high vacancies this year, estimated at 9.6 million sq ft as of March, is tipped to drag rents down by as much as 5 per cent this year and by another 5 to 10 per cent next year.

The current downturn in Hong Kong’s office property market has been described by the agency as its “longest and deepest”.

Demand from mainland Chinese firms accounted for as much as a fifth of leasing transactions in Hong Kong before a property market downturn in 2019. But with China’s borders staying closed, demand from mainland companies is likely to remain soft, agent said.

“In the three years between 2016 and 2018, for instance, mainland Chinese firms leased an average of 750,000 sq ft of grade A office space per annum,” the agent said.

Between March 2019 and March 2022, the real estate footprint of mainland Chinese companies grew by only 35,000 sq ft, according to the consultancy. On the other hand, demand from western firms shrank by between 1.3 million sq ft and 1.4 million sq ft.

Swire Properties is set to launch Two Taikoo Place in Quarry Bay. The 42-storey office tower with a gross floor area of 1 million sq ft is slated for occupancy before the end of the year. Majority of its portfolio tenants, however, are western firms.

“In our Pacific Place portfolio, just under a quarter of our tenant base is from the Chinese mainland,” Taylor said. “That figure for Taikoo Place is significantly lower but growing. We’ve always maintained a diverse and balanced tenant base across our portfolio, both in terms of nationality and the sectors they operate in.”

Despite the prevailing uncertainty and current state of the market, Swire’s core portfolio, which includes both Taikoo Place and Pacific Place, has seen occupancy in the high 90 per cent range, said Taylor.

Two Taikoo Place has so far secured commitment for 50 per cent of its space, he added. Its tenants include Julius Baer, which will take up four floors spanning close to 100,000 sq ft, and two other banks that will lease close to 200,000 sq ft. Other tenants are Amundi, BASF and Boston Consulting Group.

Other new office property supply expected this year includes AIRSIDE in Kai Tak and 98 How Ming Street in Kwun Tong. These will increase new office supply to 5 million sq ft, according to another property consultant.

An agent said that the gradual resumption of international travel will have a positive effect on office leasing activity and demand in the next few months.

“However, record-high vacancies and a supply boom will ensure rents soften further and stay at low levels” in the short-term, the agent added.

新地位于高铁西九龙总站发展项目首录租赁，国际知名财富管理机构瑞银将会进驻，承租该厦楼面约25万方呎，成为该地标项目首名租户。市场人士则预料，该厦租金参考毗邻的环球贸易广场，呎租逾60元，月租逾1500万，是今年以来暂录最大宗甲厦租赁。

瑞银将租用高铁西九龙总站发展项目，涉及为最高1座大楼的顶楼9全层，总楼面约25万方呎，将营运单位迁入。新地主席兼董事总经理郭炳联表示，瑞银在环球经济不明朗时长租该项目，令人鼓舞，肯定西九作为商业核心区地位，同时，对香港国际金融中心地位投下信心一票。

新地郭炳联：令人鼓舞

他续说，项目提供写字楼及零售楼面各260万及约60万方呎，与环球贸易广场发挥协同效应，成为集团在西九龙另一个地标项目。项目由扎哈．哈迪德建筑师事务所 (Zaha Hadid Architects) 负责设计，预计2025年内落成，瑞银将于2026年初开始迁入。

瑞银卢彩云：与大湾区接轨

瑞银财富管理亚太区联席主管兼瑞银香港区主管及行政总裁卢彩云表示，新办公室将按集团所需而兴建，提升同事工作效率，由于项目地理位置佳，让集团与大湾区、内地城市及世界各地接轨。

市场消息预料，该厦租金参考环球贸易广场，呎租由60至90元不等，若以60元计算，月租高逾1500万，属于超级大租赁，亦是今年以来市场上最大宗租赁；瑞银现时承租中环国际金融中心部分楼面，料将续租至2027年才迁出。

市场指呎租逾60元

有代理表示，疫市下贸易行业、上市公司及律师楼等，都在缩减楼面，惟金融及投资行业仍在扩张，瑞银及景顺都是金融行业，由于业务未受影响，疫市下仍然积极，另外，共用空间亦趁租金下跌，纷进驻甲厦，不过，共用空间需要签下长租约，才可以回本，租约往往长达八年至十年。

该项目坐落本港唯一高铁站上盖外，更邻近机场快綫和三条港铁路綫，项目毗邻西九文化区，项目料获6项重要的绿色及W ELL建筑标準认证，包括提供超过10万方呎休憩用地，当中设有开放予公眾的户外观景台，而一条长1.5公里的西九花园绿径将把项目与佐敦、油麻地等区与西九海滨连繫起来。

全新甲厦楼面释出 租务料稍加快

近日甲厦租务稍增，全新甲厦渐录成交，相信预计通关在即下，全新甲厦租务将加快。

近期全新甲厦项目租务，而即将落成的啟德地标甲厦 AIRSIDE，录得首宗写字楼租务成交，涉及物业22楼全层，面积约3.75万平方呎。新租客为一家跨国採购公司，主要业务为生产及採购家庭电器、厨具等。据了解，该租客原租用大角咀嘉运大厦约2万多呎办公室，因于业主将重建物业，故需寻找新写字楼，现搬至全新甲厦，兼作出楼面扩充。

AIRSIDE 成交呎租约30元

消息称，是次成交呎租约30元。翻查资料，南丰于2020年尾时开始为 AIRSIDE 进行招租，当时环球出现疫情近1年，因应市况业主表示项目商厦部分意向呎租约40元，已较原先的呎租50元下调。可是疫情下持续封关，商务活动暂缓，冲击商厦租务，直至近日才获租客首进驻。招租长达两年，按成交呎租计，较预期下调约4成。

南丰于2017年以246亿元投得啟德商业地皮，打破当时卖地纪录。项目楼高47层，当中30层为写字楼，涉及120万平方呎，而商厦每层面积约3.2万至5.3万平方呎，其中10至18楼为相连楼层，每层达5.3万平方呎，可谓全港极为罕有。写字楼近日正式入伙，预计租务将加快。

东九龙另一大型甲厦项目，亦录预租个案。消息指，新地 (00016) 旗下观塘巧明街98号新甲厦项目录预租，涉及物业2座，约1万平方呎楼面，成交呎租约30元。据了解，新租客为时装品牌Agnes b，该品牌原租用太古城中心商厦，搬迁可提升物业质素，兼节省租金。较早前项目已录大手预租，当中8万平方呎楼面，获积金局租用，呎租料约30元。该机构现租用观塘、葵涌等甲厦，料作整合业务及扩充。

据了解，巧明街项目总楼面115万平方呎，其中两幢写字楼合共约65万平方呎，而两幢楼面每层面积，分别约2.2万及1.3万平方呎。翻查资料，项目前身为九巴车厂用地，重建成商厦，预计今年尾商厦部分入伙。

今年另一大型甲厦项目落成，为太古地产鰂鱼涌太古坊二座，该厦预租率约50%，去年获瑞士宝盛私人银行预租4层楼面，涉近10万平方呎，该项目亦新录承租个案，进驻租户包括东方汇理香港、德国化工业巨头巴斯夫集团及波士顿顾问集团等，以及中资银行承租逾15万平方呎楼面，成为项目主要租户。

市场憧憬「0+0」 带动商务

分析指，现时入境检疫放宽至「0+3」，市场憧憬不久后可放宽至「0+0」，预计可带动商务活动，淡静两年多的商厦租务可望转活跃。今明两年为商厦高峰期，多个大型甲厦项目正在招租中，由于新甲厦设备新质素高，故在吸客上优势，正值商务活动加快，可以预计新甲厦租务活动转活跃。

九龙甲厦空置率11.73% 仍偏高

九龙区甲厦空置率仍偏高，资料显示，目前九龙区甲厦空置率录11.73%。

尖沙咀8月空置率 减至约10.2%

据本港一间代理行统计，8月份九龙区整体指标商厦空置率录得约11.73%，对比7月份回落0.36个百分点，按年则减低0.8个百分点，其中一綫商业区尖沙咀录得明显减幅，由7月份约11.81%，减低1.64个百分点至约10.17%，惟对比2021年同期表现就见逊色，较之前高出1.87个百分点。

尖东甲级商厦林立，该地段8月份写字楼空置率录得12.04%，按月减低0.7个百分点，按年对比则上升0.67个百分点。旺角区8月甲厦空置率虽然按月上升1.07个百分点至约5.07%，但实质为九龙商业区中最低，对比2021年同期更大幅减低2.49个百分点。

九龙东方面，观塘区指标商厦空置率有所改善，最新录得约9.56%，按月递减0.21个百分点，按年跌幅达2.96个百分点。惟九龙湾因甲厦楼面供应过剩，九龙湾8月份空置率录得约19.42%，比7月上升0.41个百分点，按年略微减少1.04个百分点，但未来数年续有大型写字楼项目发展，相信区内商厦空置率短期内难以回落。

石门新都广场 呎价低水合用家

石门属活化项目，而楼面大呎价低水，正合用家需求。

新都广场位于石门安耀街2号，用户可驾车出入外，新都广场距离石门港铁站只有约5分鐘步程，另周边有多条巴士綫，前往港岛及九龙各区等。值得一提，现时港铁屯马綫及东铁綫等，前往尖沙咀及金鐘等商业区仅数站距离，非常方便。

配套上，以往石门缺乏餐饮，自从京瑞广场落成后设有商场，提供酒楼、茶餐厅等，另配套更为充足。

提供158私家车位

物业前身为工贸大厦，于1997年落成，大业主认为把物业活化，更有利其身价，故把项目申请改作商厦用途，并于2012年12月，获批特权豁免书，并为大厦进行翻新。物业共设有8部客用升降机，以及4部载货升降机，数目较相若规模商厦多。另外，大厦车位亦见充足，位于大厦地下至3楼，提供158个私家车位、7个货车位及16个电单车位。

物业楼高29层，每层写字楼楼面由10,145至21,368平方呎不等。物业一大优点，就是楼面大，全层适合大型用家。对中小型用户来说，每层设有10至18个单位，视乎层数而定。高层楼面较大，设有单位数较多，项目单位由约880至1,400平方呎不等，总计整幢物业共设有390个写字楼单位。物业前身为工贸物业，质素上却与商厦看齐，大部分单位楼底有3.8米高，加上全落地玻璃。此外，部分单位设两边窗，空间感足。大厦属开则呈长方形，无多餘角位，内笼属无柱位设计，用户可灵活作间隔，部分单位更内置士多房。

楼层大堂位于每层的中间位置，当中以5至8号单位，最接近大堂。经过大型翻新工程后，新都广场设备已获全面提升。物业外墙备有玻璃幕墙，各层电梯大堂地台铺有人造石，墙身铺上天然石及玻璃面板，假天花亦配有照明系统。楼层大堂设有窗户引入光綫，大堂空间足够，每层均设有洗手间。景观方面，高层物业1至11号单位，可望山景景。至于其他单位主望区内楼景。感觉尚算开扬。

新都广场大业主大昌地产，早年拆售物业，最大手为2017年，六福集团 (00590) 以5.6亿元，购入大厦4层楼面，连同一批车位，平均呎价约6,851元。据悉，集团购入上述物业，主要作为后勤办公室。

近年买卖上，现时大厦呎价低水，去年10月物业1610室，面积约1,208平方呎，以约900万元成交，呎价约7,450元。另今年2月，物业高层单位，面积约922平方呎，以约737.6万元成交，呎价约8,000元。

罕有全层放租 意向20元呎

新都广场全层楼面多，现罕有全层放租及放售，意向呎租约20元。

1.89亿放盘 呎价约9900

有代理表示，石门新都广场9楼全层现正放租，面积约19,139平方呎，意向月租约39万元，呎租约20元，单位备装修，可即租即用。

另外，物业同时放售，业主意向价约1.89亿元，呎价约9,900元。

租务成交上，该厦今年租务不少，如4月份811室，面积约1,125平方呎，成交呎租约20元。

另6月份物业2308室，面积约1,067平方呎，成交呎租约22元。

同区买卖方面，质素最新为W LUXE，早年进行预售，并于2020年尾入伙，近日物业中层S11室，面积约423平方呎，以约500万元成交，呎价约11,820元。另该厦9月份录租务上，物业高层N1室，面积约1,458平方呎，成交呎租约29元。

万迪广场近月录多宗租务 涉逾3万方呎

亿京资产管理董事梁庇世表示，随着疫情回稳，社区活动渐趋活跃，活动空间需求大增，带动相关租务市场。亿京旗下位于新蒲岗的万迪广场近月录得多宗商业楼层租务成交，涉及面积超过3万方呎，当中包括跳舞学校、瑜伽教室、健美中心及宗教聚会场所。

他指出，随着网购渐趋普及、传统零售市场开始有结构性变化，零售商对店铺需求日减。亿京旗下商场，例如万迪广场和荃湾的Plaza 88，都主力引入不同类型的社区服务和体验式消费等行业，务求把商场打造成多元化的社区活动空间，提供适合的空间和设施配套，创造连接社区的纽带。

他又留意到集团旗下商场租户除了业务多元化，当中有不少租户都是初创企业或刚起步的本地品牌，相信是因为商场能提供灵活的间隔和独立冷气设施配合他们的营运及业务发展需要。

UBS will move to SHKP's West Kowloon project

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said UBS will be the first anchor tenant of its multi-tower development atop the High-Speed Rail's West Kowloon Terminus.

The Swiss bank will relocate its Hong Kong operations to the top nine floors of the tallest tower, taking up a floor area of approximately 250,000 square feet.

Though the rents have not been made public, the developer might refer to its other office tower in the same area - the International Commerce Centre - where monthly rents currently range from HK$80 to HK$90 per square foot, a property agent said. But the agent said the prices could change, since UBS will not move in before 2026.

In August, the 108-storey International Commerce Centre welcomed China's first joint venture investment bank China International Capital Corporation, with reported monthly rents of HK$3.56 million, or about HK$75 per square foot.

SHKP chairman and managing director Raymond Kwok Ping-luen said the lender's relocation to West Kowloon is "a vote of confidence in Hong Kong as a key international financial center."

The 26-km High Speed Rail runs from West Kowloon and connects Hong Kong with the mainland's 25,000 km national high-speed rail network.

Amy Lo Choi-wan, Asia-Pacific co-head of UBS Wealth Management and chief executive of UBS Hong Kong, said the location of the new office will connect UBS "with the Greater Bay Area" and "major cities on the mainland."

SHKP's project atop the station provides 2.6 million square feet of office premises and some 600,000 square feet of retail space. Its location is also adjacent to the Airport Express Line and connects to three other MTR lines.

It expects the project to be completed by 2025 and UBS could move in early 2026.

UBS has had its Hong Kong headquarters in the Two International Finance Centre in Central since 2003.

But the Covid outbreak has seen overseas companies move out of Central and dragged down rents. An office in Two International Finance Centre was leased with a rent of HK$168 per square foot this July, 16 percent lower than the previous rental.

However, global investment management firm Invesco will relocate to Jardine House  in Central by renting 33,000 sq ft in the high zone from November, Hongkong Land said.

外资代理行：0+3可带动租务 租金全年跌5%

疫情持续下，甲楼空置情况恶化，有外资代理行指，甲厦最新空置楼面再上升至1,190万平方呎，属历史最多，而空置率为14.1%，已逼近历史最高位仅差0.3个百分点，东九龙空置更高见2成，该行料「0+3」后可带动租务，惟因新供应多，租金全年仍跌5%，空置率年尾创新高。

据该行最新数字，今年第3季新增180万平方呎甲厦新供应，同时间吸纳情况不算理想，故空置楼面达1,190万平方呎，创历史新高，而空置率上升2个百分点至14.1%，而东九龙区空置率更高见2成。

东九龙空置率高见2成

该行代理认为，相信不论检疫措施0+3及日后可能再放宽至「0+0」，可带动商务活动，令甲厦租务增加，惟目前空置楼面多，要吸纳尚要一段时间，再加上中港通关尚未有时间表，料全年商厦租金跌5%。

该代理指，空置率最高纪录为2004年，涉14.4%，代理相信按此走势，今年空置率将创新高，因今明两年供应多，料明年空置率更升至约15.6%。

投资市场方面，该行另一代理指，第3季因美国加息步伐加快，令大额物业投资市场淡静，涉及7,700万元的大额买卖仅录20宗，宗数按季跌一半。

后市上，代理认为以现时商业借贷成本已达3.6%，投资成本提高，外资基金及本地买家均转为观望，相信第4季大手买卖较为淡静，但该代理认为因物业价格已作调整，故相信仍有财团等趁低吸纳的机会。若0+0措施实行，他预计因酒店入住率改善，投资前景相对较佳。

桥头围商业项目 打造天水围版apm

在「北部都会区」策略推动之下，洪水桥/厦村新发展区将会兴建港深西部铁路来往前海，预计将带动比邻的天水围商业及住宅发展，而天水围最新有大型商业项目获屋宇署批出建筑图则，涉及总楼面逾85万平方呎，势成「天水围版」的观塘创纪之城5期 apm项目。

「北部都会区」重点发展香港新界北一带的用地，佔地约3万公顷。在港深两地的商业活动交流，政府将会落实于洪水桥/厦村新发展区兴建港深西部铁路连接前海，料位处旁边的天水围的商业活动亦将会受惠。

3项目增151万呎商业楼面

政府早在90年代将天水围发展为新市镇，原为大片鱼塘的天水围随即大变天，并吸引不少发展商在区内「插旗」，发展大型屋苑。虽然该区以住宅发展为主，但区内不乏商业项目，现时该区合共有3个较新或将落成的大型商业及商住项目，共提供约151万平方呎的商业楼面。

当中较瞩目为新地 (00016) 持有的天水围桥头围项目，用地位于洪天路与屏厦路交界，邻近港铁天水围站，项目于今年7月获屋宇署批出建筑图则，获准兴建1幢28层高 (另设3层地库) 的商厦，总楼面面积约85.62万平方呎。

事实上，新地于去年以约19.74亿元为上述项目补地价，当时每呎楼面补价约2,305元，料为新界最大宗商业项目补地价个案之一。新地过往曾就地皮申请发展为住宅，惟于2016年向城规会申请改作发展为办公室、商店及服务行业、食肆等综合商业用途，当中零售商场楼面佔约50万平方呎，办公室则佔约35.6万平方呎的楼面，并已于2017年获会方批准相关申请。

嘉湖海逸酒店改装 减8成住宅

另外，鑑于疫情重创酒店业，长实 (01113) 持有的天水围嘉湖海逸酒店，今年再度向城规会提交新方案，由重建变成改装方案，将会改装为2幢不多于24层高 (另设2层地库) 的分层住宅，提供约1,102伙。至于现时的酒店地下及1楼，将改作商业用途，现有平台的商业用途 (置富嘉湖第一及二期) 则会保留。改装后的项目总楼面约116.3万平方呎，其中住宅总楼面佔约59.9万平方呎，非住用总楼面约56.4万平方呎。

长实于2019年已曾就上述项目向城规会申请重建为2幢53层高的综合商住项目，总楼面逾200万平方呎，料提供约5,000伙住宅，平均面积约300平方呎。相比之下，住宅伙数大减近8成。

外资代理行：商厦租金按季跌0.4%至3.4%

有外资代理行指出，今年第3季写字楼租金进一步下跌，跌幅介乎0.4%至3.4%，整体空置率10.2%，涉约650万方呎，九龙东为4.4%，空置楼面190万方呎，中环130万方呎，空置率8.3%，部分地区空置率接近或稍高于09年金融海啸时水平。

中环呎租跌至102.5元

该行指出，长沙湾、葵涌及荃湾跌幅最小，幅度0.4%，港岛南3.4%跌幅最大，中环呎租跌至102.5元，较2019年高位跌33%，整体较高位跌约30%。

中资租赁规模低于2018年水平，较活跃的中资主要是私募基金及资产管理、证券、银行、房地产及保险行业，偏好核心商务区，以中环为例，中资租户佔25%，上环高达35%，与此同时，本季陆续出现来自其他行业租赁，包括ESG相关行业、金融科技、加密货币及NFT等。

数据显示，香港租金高于第二位东京，最近部分企业由港迁移新加坡，令新加坡核心甲厦整体租金按季微升0.3%，当地超级甲厦租金升幅更高，达0.9%。

该行代理表示，部分有意搬迁租客，考虑装修成本及还原费用，部分业主愿意提供更长免租期甚至补贴装修。

新地上诉观塘工厦强拍令驳回 伯恩光学持逾97%业权可进行拍卖

由伯恩光学创办人杨建文併购的观塘业发工业大厦第一期，今年4月获土地审裁处颁下强制售卖令，其后持有该厦2个单位的新地提出上诉申请，最新遭土地审裁处拒绝批出上诉许可。该项目为早于1978年落成的15层高工厦，至今楼龄约44年，今年4月曾获该处批出强拍底价为23.49亿，若以强拍底价作计算，每方呎楼面呎价约9788元。若顺利统一业权，将与毗邻工厦合併发展。

是次上诉的业主为Pawling Limited持有8楼C及D室两个单位，据新地年报显示，Pawling Limited为新地主要附属公司之一，并持有该公司100%权益。

上述项目位于「其他指定用途」註明「商贸」地带，容许作部分「工业」的用途，据判词显示，上诉人认为申请地点应视为位处工业地带，若在「工业」用地申请强拍，必须集齐90%的业权，认为80%强拍门槛并不适用于该座工厦，因此不应批出该强制售卖令。

新地仅持有2单位

据强拍条例，地段上每个单位各佔该地段不可分割份数的10%以上；地段上所有楼宇的楼龄均达50年或以上；及地段并非坐落于工业地带，而地段上的所有大厦均为楼龄达30年或以上的工业大厦。

「破坏其重建计画」

根据判词伯恩光学总裁杨建文口供指，新地刻意破坏其重建计画。而法庭指，上诉人未能就上诉提供合理观点，因此拒绝批出上述许可。

业发工业大厦第1期位于开源道77号，邻近观塘鱷鱼恤中心及创纪之城5期 apm等商厦，该项目为早于1978年落成的15层高工厦，至今楼龄约44年，该项目地盘面积约2万方呎，土地用途为商贸地带，若地积比约12倍重建发展，涉及可建总楼面约24万方呎；今年4月曾获该处批出强拍令，底价为23.49亿，若以强拍底价计算，每方呎楼面呎价约9788元。

获批建39层高商厦

值得留意的是，杨建文或有关人士早于2017年12月透过强拍途径以底价约16.216亿、统一毗邻开源道75号业发工业大厦2期。而该两幢工厦连同毗邻的年运工业大厦已于去年9月曾向城规会申请合併上述项目并放宽两成地积比率限制发展，重建为一幢楼高39层的商厦，涉及总楼面约72万方呎，而城规会于今年5月已批准该申请，规划许可有效期至2026年5月20日。

强拍底价23.49亿

据城规会文件显示，上址地盘面积约5万方呎，申请放宽地积比率约20%发展，由12倍增加至14.4倍，重建为1幢楼高39层 (包括各1层的平台花园、防火层及空中花园，另有5层地库) 的商业大厦，其中地库1楼至10楼属零售餐饮用途，楼上则属于办公室用途，涉及总楼面约72万方呎。

另外，该项目亦提供合共311个车位，值得留意的是，项目平面图显示于部分楼层预留位置兴建行人天桥连接毗邻的商厦。

Evergrande crisis: creditors seek to drum up demand for Hong Kong trophy headquarters with prospect of rebuilding it bigger

The cost of knocking down and rebuilding the tower in Wan Chai could add HK$3 billion to the HK$7 billion and HK$9 billion for the land estimated by agents

Once a crown jewel of Chinese tycoon Hui Ka-yan’s property empire, China Evergrande Centre was recently taken over by the receivers from Alvarez & Marsal

The Hong Kong headquarters of troubled China Evergrande Group, recently put up for sale by receivers, is hoping to woo buyers with the prospect of building a higher tower on the spot overlooking the iconic Victoria Harbour.

“If the new buyer chooses to rebuild the tower, the new building could stretch 135 metres high from the current 98 metres, or about 33-storeys with more sea-view floors,” property agent said, the sole agent mandated by the receivers of the property.

The cost of knocking down and rebuilding China Evergrande Centre in Wan Chai could add HK$3 billion (US$380 million) to the price range of between HK$7 billion and HK$9 billion for the land estimated by the agents, according to the agent.

That means an estimated investment in the range of HK$10 billion to HK$12 billion, or HK$28,950 to HK$34,740 per square foot.

That is in line with the HK$31,000 per sq ft Henderson Land Development paid for the iconic New Central Harbourfront commercial site 3 last year.

“A possible strategy would be for potential buyers to invest in the plot of land for the long term, rather than focusing on the 3-5 years of yield return of the office tower, which is definitely not very high at this moment due to the interest hikes,” the agent said.

The agency invited bids for the 27-storey China Evergrande Centre on Gloucester Road on September 25. The tender will close at noon on October 31.

“So far we have received some warm reactions from interested parties and we believe that the property could be successfully snapped up,” the agent said.

Once a crown jewel of Chinese tycoon Hui Ka-yan’s property empire, China Evergrande Centre was recently taken over by the receivers Tiffany Wong and Kitty Yeung, directors in Hong Kong at global restructuring and management advisory firm Alvarez & Marsal. They were appointed by creditors in September.

The tower is pledged as collateral for a HK$7.6 billion loan from lenders led by China Citic Bank International, the Hong Kong subsidiary of Chinese state-owned China Citic Bank Corp, Ming Pao, a Chinese-language newspaper, reported in August.

In other words, the sale will not directly offer any relief to Evergrande’s dire liquidity.

“If the final price tag cannot cover the loan, theoretically the creditors can still go after the Chinese developer,” a surveyor said.

“It is not an easy deal, to be honest. The creditors would hope to have a clean exit, with the proceeds to cover the loans at least, but the Hong Kong office market has been hit hard in the souring micro-environment.”

The city’s economy shrank 1.4 per cent in the second quarter of this year, following a 3.9 per cent contraction in the first three-month period.

Average rents in the city’s office space will fall by as much as 5 per cent this year and by another 5 to 10 per cent next year, according to another agency.

The current downturn in Hong Kong’s office property market has been described by the agency as its “longest and deepest”.

China Evergrande Centre, built in 1985, has a gross floor area of about 345,423 sq ft (32,000 square metres). It includes a lobby, shops, office floors each with a typical area area of 12,000 to 14,000 sq ft, plus 55 parking spaces.

Evergrande paid US$1.6 billion, or a then-record HK$36,187 per square foot to acquire the asset then known as Mass Mutual Tower, from developer Chinese Estates Holdings in 2015.

“We will see more such distressed property sales of assets that have not yet entered forced-sale procedures, as their owners choose to cash in with huge discounts to ease their liquidity problems in the near future,” the surveyor predicted.

“Local Hong Kong wealthy investors and families are interested in such assets because they are cheap.”

Hong Kong developers lobby government to end cooling measures, protect homeowners from negative equity amid price slump

The Real Estate Developers Association is lobbying the government to lift stamp duties imposed as a cooling measure when the market was much hotter

The number of homes valued below their mortgage loan amount remains small, and analysts do not expect a massive increase soon

Hong Kong property developers and agents are lobbying the government to scrap legacy stamp duties to avoid pushing homeowners into negative equity amid slumping home prices, a clarion call that is being dismissed by analysts.

The city’s 1.4 million private property owners could face negative equity – when a home loan exceeds the market value of the property – if home prices fall further, said Stewart Leung, executive committee chairman of the Real Estate Developers Association (Reda), which represents the city’s biggest developers.

If cooling measures are not relaxed, and prices keep declining, banks will ask mortgage holders to repay part of their loans, Leung, who is also chairman of Wheelock Properties, told the Post in a call on Tuesday.

“It will mess up the market,” he said. “Even if home prices do not rise, do not let them fall.”

The government has implemented cooling measures for more than a decade to reduce short-term speculation and lessen non-local and investment demand.

“The government must scrap the cooling measures,” Leung said. “Otherwise, it will affect the 1.4 million households.”

Leung’s call came as a market index compiled by a property agency, has fallen by more than 10 per cent from a market peak in August 2021, returning to its level in February 2019.

Hong Kong home prices could plummet by 30 per cent by the end of 2023 as sharply increasing interest rates continue to pressure affordability and repel investors from the market, according to Goldman Sachs.

Analysts do not expect a rapid increase in the number of owners facing negative equity.

“Based on the current market conditions, I think there is no room to completely remove all the stamp duties currently in place, as we have not seen the residential market drastically collapse,” a property agent said.

Hong Kong saw 55 cases of residential mortgage loans in negative equity in the three months ended June 30, according to Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) data, down from 104 in the three months ended March 31. The aggregate value of these cases stood at HK$300 million (US$38.2 million), versus HK$610 million in the comparative period.

A massive number of cases “should not appear so fast”, a mortgage broker said. “Chances will be greater for those who bought in the last two years. Unless the market falls sharply again, and buyers use high loan-to-value ratios, it should be relatively safe.”

Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan underscored the sanguine outlook. Speaking on September 22 after the US Federal Reserve raised its key rate, he said he did not think Hong Kong’s property market slump posed a risk to the city’s financial system.

“I don’t think there would be a risk of sharp adjustment in the property market. But obviously, given the dampened sentiment, you can tell from the recent figures that the transaction volume has come down, and prices [have] been adjusted a little,” he said, according to a transcript posted on the government’s website. “We will continue to monitor the situation, but we don’t believe there will be a risk to the financial system.”

Negative equity peaked at more than 105,000 households in 2003 after the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) sent already struggling home prices spiralling down, according to HKMA figures.

“Many owners would rather change hands at a loss to cash out,” a property agent said. “Quite a few buyers who have entered the market with mortgages at a high loan-to-value ratio in recent years have fallen into a crisis of negative equity.”

For example, Cullinan West in western Kowloon saw a flat change hands at HK$32.5 million recently, for a loss of HK$10.49 million, according to another local agency.

This year’s overall number of property transactions is expected to be around 64,000, the lowest in 32 years, an agent said.

The sluggish transaction volume proves that the property market has entered an “ice age”, and that the cooling measures launched earlier for the hot property market are out of date, the agent said.

今年上半年第五波疫情后，整体写字楼租赁于第三季度录57.7万方呎净吸纳量，租赁回升同时，港岛东和九龙东三座新写字楼相继于今年第三季度投入市场，新落成总写字楼净楼面约180万方呎，令整体空置率攀升至12.6%。

有外资代理行代理表示，新落成甲厦推高空置率，有见升级搬迁 (flight-to-quality) 趋势持续，质素较低写字楼受压，整体甲厦租金于2022年第三季度按季跌1.5%。九龙东和西九龙租金分别按季微升0.9%和0.4%，湾仔及铜锣湾租金按季跌2.4%。

第三季仅录26宗大买卖

该行另一代理说，政府放宽入境措施，有助带动跨国公司对写字楼租赁需求，预计新增甲厦供应将达到330万方呎，料升级搬迁将导致同区甲厦空置走向两极化。

今年第三季受加息影响，仅录26宗大买卖，按季跌16%，按年跌49%，金额仅录26亿，按季下挫73%。该行另一代理说，核心区一綫街铺有升值潜力，工业资产受投资者青睞，高力预测2022年的整体成交量按年增长15%。

加息对住宅市场构成压力，预期私人楼宇价格因此下调，由于买卖双方期望差距扩大，导致今年第2季度二手住宅季度成交量按年下跌32.3%。该行分析，7月至9月的2823宗二手交易，见业主接受减价，400方呎以下细价楼最明显，以低市价5%至20%成交，上升了26%。

该行另一代理说，早于疫情爆发前，缴纳买家印花税只佔5.7%，预计开放边境，未必能扭转住宅价格跌势，预计今年楼价按年跌10%至12%，细价楼首当其冲。

大手买卖录214亿按季微跌2.3%

有外资代理行指出，受加息和环球经济不明朗影响，投资者持审慎态度，今年第三季，逾亿大手物业总成交额录约214亿，按季及按年分别微跌2.3%和1.4%，年初至今总额暂录约543亿，与上年同期比较按年跌16.6%，季内写字楼交投回暖，重建地盘及具改装为出租公寓潜力的住宅或酒店，亦受追捧。

外资代理行：写字楼佔50%

写字楼物业成交在第三季显著回升至108亿，佔季内总交易额50%，亦是自2020年第四季以来的新高，主要受两宗大笔交易推动，包括九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢，估计约70亿，以及基金AresSSG以近31亿向新世界购入长沙湾永康街商厦项目51%权益，以上成交反映投资者对甲厦长綫后市信心。

疫下酒店减价出售

投资者仍积极物色酒店或公寓收购机会。其中，共居品牌及投资者WeaveLiving与领盛投资管理 (LaSalle Investment) 组成的合营企业，收购罗便臣道68号全幢住宅，涉资2.75亿，预期市场上的酒店买卖陆续有来，而且部分将涉及改装为共居空间，以提高价值。受限于政府防疫隔离措施和疫情发展，不少中小型酒店面临财政压力，故部分酒店业主愿意减价出售。

玫瑰苑下月初强拍底价逾20亿

本港市区豪宅地皮供应罕有，不少财团向旧楼埋手密密併购，并且透过强拍途径增加土储。由财团申请强拍的九龙塘玫瑰苑，早前获土地审裁处批出强拍令之后，落实于今年11月3日进行拍卖，底价为20.75亿，较申请强拍时估值约9.954亿，高出10.796亿。

土审处文件显示，今次获批强拍令的玫瑰苑，位于又一村玫瑰街23至34号，毗邻私楼又一居，项目早于2020年由BREMONT INVESTMENTS LIMITED申请强拍，上个月终于获该处批出强制售卖令。

曾4度向小业主出价

该财团2020年申请强拍时，持有约80.30%业权，最新增加至87.88%，目前餘下8个物业未成功收购。

该财团曾于2020年至2022年间，四度向小业主出价收购依然遭拒绝，其中2020年4月曾出价约2508万至2761万，其后于2021年4月及今年2月两度提高出价，今年7月出价进一步增至约3000万至3300万，然而依然未能打动小业主。

料可发展为低密度豪宅

现时上址为22幢楼高3层的住宅，早于1967年落成，地盘面积约138960方呎，现划为「住宅 (丙类) 7」用途，料可发展为低密度豪宅。

美景楼未达强拍门槛 收购告吹 有住户索价每呎1.8万 参与业权份数78.09%

本报今年5月率先披露土瓜湾美景楼收购，事件有新进展，本报得悉由于美景楼最终收购业权份数未能达至整体80%强拍的门槛下限水平，负责收购的财团决定放弃收购，令收购计画被逼告吹，该财团并称，直至政府立法调低强拍门槛后，届时再根据市况釐定是否重新啟动收购计画。

本报取得的文件显示，就收购美景楼第一期全幢物业，截至2022年9月30日，一期全幢共取得760份业权份数，经财团点算已签合约同意收购共有593.5份 (已包括尚未补签的61个单位)，佔全幢大厦78.09%业权份数。

本报5月率先披露财团收购

由于同意进行收购的业权份数，未达现时强拍条例下最低80%的下限要求，故此财团决定放弃此次收购计画，并表示：「直至政府立法调低强拍门槛，再根据当时市况重新釐定及啟动收购计画。届时希望各业主能继续支持及参与联合出售计画。」

每呎收购价1.6万

该文件并剖析收购告吹的主要原因，包括唔卖及失踪人口单位共有38伙 (约佔5%)；另外无参与业权的单位共涉及67.5伙 (约佔8.88%)，以及贪心业主要求每方呎收购价18000元单位佔61伙 (约佔8.02%)，三项因素合计佔全幢业权份数的21.9%，令是次美景楼收购事宜告吹。

有小业主对是次收购告吹感失望，并痛斥未肯参与的单位要求每方呎收购价达18000元太高，令收购计画未能成功之餘，由于大厦楼龄已达58年，未来并要「夹钱」进行大规模维修，形容该等单位「累街坊」！

小业主对收购告吹感失望

土瓜湾为重建项目主要核心地区，不少有相当楼龄的旧楼成为财团收购的目标，资料显示，本报得悉有财团对美景楼第一期进行收购，并于今年5月率先披露该财团以每方呎1.6万向大厦业主进行收购，当时已集整体的七成业权，该每方呎出价1.6万元，当中买卖合约价每方呎约1.1万，另向住户补贴5000元的搬迁费用，合计约1.6万。

美景楼极具重建价值

美景楼第一期位于美景街及落山道交界，早于1964年落成，楼龄已达58年，合共提供约701个住宅单位，由于步行前往港铁土瓜湾站只须约5分鐘，极具重建价值，该旧楼佔地约4.54万方呎，为市区罕见的大型地盘，若以地积比率9倍重建发展，涉及可建总楼面约40.88万方呎。是次收购计画告吹，业主须付一定费用作维修，但由于大厦日久失修，有不同程度的漏水、石屎剥落等问题，有业主曾向本报透露，初步估计维修费用每户约5万至10万，故不少业主对是次收购计画抱有一定希望。

有业界人士表示，楼市虽然受到疫情及加息等因素打击，楼价亦较年初显著下跌，惟市区地皮供应有限，以上述美景楼位置，邻近港铁站，地盘面积亦不少，为市区难得的地皮，故楼价下跌下，有住户不愿以低价出售单位，亦情有可原，事实上，区内现时新盘造价每方呎达1.8万至逾2万不等，该收购价每方呎约1.6万，与市价仍有一段距离。

两测量师行 齐看淡楼市

楼价或挫5成  美停加息才回稳

加息冲击下，近期楼价持续回落，多家测量师行纷纷调整未来楼市预测。最悲观的一间外资测量师行预测，楼价会重演于1999至2003年间的漫长下行周期，最终或有机会累跌近50%，认为现在是撤辣的最好时机，以免负资产情况再现。

另一测量师行亦预料，今年全年楼价下跌约12%。

测量师负责人指，今年至今楼价已下跌近10%，虽楼价不会断崖式下滑，但在加息及全球经济疲弱等因素影响下，预期明年楼价会重演于1999至2003年间的漫长下行周期，当时期内每年楼价跌10%，累积跌幅近50%。

测量师行吁撤辣税 防负资产潮

该测量师认为，政府应具前瞻性，在楼价跌势加剧前採取行动，建议当局立即撤销买家印花税 (Buyer's Stamp Duty，BSD) 及额外印花税 (Special Stamp Duty，SSD)，并避免分段执行。撤销BSD是挽留人才的重点，相信撤销BSD后，其正面影响较通关更大。

该测量师表示，因为SSD政策对于本受经济困扰的业主有更大打击及造成不公，所以认为当局应该同时撤销SSD。该测量师亦建议2,000万元以上住宅按揭成数该交回银行决定 (现时最高借贷成数为5成)，因为现时按揭成数规定令準买家难以换楼，导致豪宅交投冰封。

该测量师又指，若政府考虑立即撤销辣招，即使楼市跌势持续，但可以减慢其跌势，或留有喘息空间，否则明年楼价会进一步跌逾10%。同时，随着息口上升，料明年负资产数字将明显上升，相信豪宅的交投最受影响。

而鑑于通关后亦不代表有大量现金流向本港市场，加上外地人为免缴税，会尽量避免在港置业，因此如政府不撤辣，通关与否对楼市的影响并不大。

另外，另一测量师行指，美国加息令按揭息口及置业人士的最低收入要求提高，对住宅市场构成压力，置业人士预期楼价下调。由于买卖双方价格期望差距扩大，导致今年第二季二手住宅市场的季度成交量按年下挫32.3%。

测量师行倡降印花税率 招才吸资

该测量师行负责人指，未来6个月的住宅价格调整步伐或会加快，预计楼价于今年将进一步按年跌10%至12%，而明年尚有调整压力，直至明年下半年美国或停止加息，楼价可望回稳。

该测量师亦指，过往在住宅物业BSD中，非香港永久性居民只佔5.7%，预计通关未必能够扭转住宅价格的跌势。另外，该测量师认为政府可考虑重新审视辣招，如降低BSD税率 (现为楼价30%)，可望吸纳人才来港以及投资。

湾仔捷利中心地铺招租 月租叫价35万

港铁会展站开通后，对湾仔区工商铺物业受惠最大，更成为不少投资者追捧对象，有个别财团更于日内斥资逾1亿元连环购入湾仔3个铺位，反映区内铺位投资前景亮丽，更带动区内租务气氛趋畅旺。新近有业主看準时机，将湾仔告士打道两个相连地铺放租，意向月租合共约35万元。

最大面积3865呎 每呎租金65

有代理表示，招租物业位于湾仔告士打道42至46号捷利中心地下1号铺以及地下3至4号铺，当中面积最大为地下3至4号铺，面积约3,865平方呎，目前租用予豪舍销售陈列室，租期将于明年届满。而业主计划以预租方式，以每月约25万元招租推出市场，平均呎租约65元。

地下1号铺 交吉叫租10万

同时，比邻的地下1号铺，面积约1,000平方呎，目前已告交吉，现以每月约10万元招租。两个铺位均适合各行各业，包括车行，银行，陈列室，餐饮业等。业主更为吸引目标行业承租，调整较大议价空间，幅度由约20至30%不等。

该代理指出，大厦提供优质管理服务，现时中、高层写字楼部分有个别楼层招租中，部分坐拥维港海景，面积由约1,108平方呎起，至全层约7,009平方呎不等，意向呎租由40元起。该代理续称，面对湾仔区利好因素不绝，工商铺前景向好，在租金叫价上仍倾向克制，更按目标租客群，提供较大议价空间，幅度约20至30%。而湾仔告士打道位于湾仔核心地带，集结多幢指标商厦，附近亦设有多条巴士路綫、过境巴士及渡海小轮，距离港铁湾仔站出口步程约4分鐘，而徒步至最新开通的港铁会展站亦只需8分鐘，更可贯通沙中綫，交通配套完善，料今次项目招租反应将会见理想。

事实上，湾仔区集结不少商厦，地铺甚为矜罕，而市场新近承租位于庄士敦道138号地下1及2号铺，面积约1,502平方呎，获经营餐饮业租客以月租约38万元承租，平均呎租约253元。上述铺位连同3及4号铺，合共面积约2,831平方呎，原由连锁运动用品品牌自2016年起租用，当时月租约63万元，平均呎租约222元。业主于2022年1月以约2.75亿元购入铺位，鑑于疫情反覆便将铺位分拆出租，以迎合更多不同类别租户。

Stamp duty revenues hit record low

Hong Kong's overall stamp duty revenues plunged 30 percent quarter-on-quarter to a record low of HK$1.25 billion in the third quarter, amid US interest rate hikes and global economic downturn, data from the Inland Revenue Department shows.

The number of transactions between July and September also slumped 22.8 percent to 657 from three months ago.

The number of cases for special stamp duty dropped 23.1 percent quarter-on-quarter to 50, an over-10-year low, and the revenue also plunged 16.8 percent to HK$39.7 million.

Buyer's stamp duty brought the government 25.1 percent less revenue to HK$303.6 million from July to September, while the amount of double stamp duty was reduced by 31.7 percent to HK$907 million compared to last quarter.

A property agency appealed to the government to lift all stamp duties in the coming policy address to avoid home prices to fall faster and to avoid negative equity cases to surge.

In other news, the compulsory sale of Rose Court at Yau Yat Chuen will start next month, with a reserve price of HK$2.075 billion.

The project's gross build-able floor area is up to 116,800 square feet, or HK$17,735 per square foot.

Completed in 1967, Rose Court consists of 22 blocks of 3-storey residential buildings, offering a total of 66 residential units and 66 car parking spaces.

Hong Kong’s housing market cooling measures: What are they? Have they done their job? And should they be relaxed?

The government and the monetary authority have introduced a variety of duties and rules to cool the city’s hot property market since 2010

With the market now in a slump, developers and agents would like to see these measures relaxed

Since the Hong Kong government began introducing cooling measures for the property market in 2010, annual home sales have generally declined. But this year at least one analyst believes that the number of transactions will fall to a 32-year low, raising questions about whether an already cooling market needs more cooling.

Between 2007 and 2010, annual sales of new homes, lived-in homes and public housing units numbered between 97,678 and 137,721, according to official government data. Between 2011 and 2021, sales numbered between 52,811 and 86,049.

Between those two time periods, the government introduced a series of new stamp duties – taxes on residential property transactions. In addition the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the city’s de facto central bank, has imposed rules on home loans that act to cool the market.

So far this year, overall property transactions, including residential and non-residential property, stand at 39,409. A property agent estimates that for the rest of the year only about 25,000 units are likely to be sold, bringing the annual tally of property sales to a 32-year low.

Many factors besides the cooling measures play a role in the current market slump, including the pandemic and its associated quarantine measures, rising interest rates, a stock-market in bear territory and recession fears.

Nonetheless, an association representing property developers is calling on the government to relax the cooling measures. The association warns that slumping prices threaten to push many homeowners into negative equity – where their loan amounts are higher than their home values.

What stamp duties has the government implemented to cool property prices?

Special Stamp Duty (SSD): Introduced in November 2010, this tax is applicable to any residential property that is resold within 36 months, and the less time an owner holds a property, the higher the applicable rate. The SSD initially was between 5 and 15 per cent, but this was raised to between 10 and 20 per cent in 2012.

Buyer Stamp Duty (BSD): Rolled out in October 2012, the BSD aims to suppress demand from people who are not Hong Kong permanent residents. It charges such buyers a flat rate of 15 per cent on the value of the property.

Double Stamp Duty (DSD): This tax, introduced in 2013, doubles the ad valorem (according to value) stamp duty tax for a buyer who is not a first-time buyer or who already holds a residential property in Hong Kong.

Higher ad valorem rate: In November 2016, the government raised the ad valorem rate to a flat 15 per cent for all buyers except Hong Kong permanent residents who are first-time buyers or do not already own a residential property in Hong Kong. The rate was between 4.25 and 8.5 per cent previously.

What do the terms ‘loan-to value ratio’ (LTV), ‘debt-servicing ratio’ (DSR) and ‘stress test’ mean?

The HKMA has launched several measures to cool home prices.

In 2020 HKMA capped the allowed LTV ratio – the ratio of the amount being borrowed to the value of the property concerned – at between 30 and 60 per cent, down from between 60 and 70 per cent previously.

The regulator also requires banks to assess an applicants’ DSR, which indicates how much stress paying the mortgage will impose on an applicant’s finances. The DSR is simply the ratio of the monthly mortgage repayment amount to the monthly income of the borrower. The DSR was capped at between 30 and 60 per cent in 2010, down from between 50 and 60 per cent previously.

Banks are also required to perform a stress test to estimate an applicant’s ability to pay the mortgage in case of interest-rate increases.

On September 23, the HKMA asked banks to reduce the stress test requirement from a simulated hike of 300 basis points to an increase of 200 basis points, effectively making the test easier to pass.

Hong Kong’s base interest rate has been raised five times this year to 3.5 per cent, a 14-year high, in lockstep with increases by the US Federal Reserve. Commercial banks including HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of China (Hong Kong) raised their prime rates late last month to a four-year high.

Have the cooling measures actually reduced residential sales?

Residential sales transactions between 2011 and 2021 were 37 per cent lower than they were between 2002 and 2010, a property agent said.

The myriad of cooling measures, most notably the punitive stamp duties on property transactions, have largely eliminated the market participation of non-residents, investors and owners of multiple homes, the agent said.

Have the cooling measures reduced home prices?

“Over the years, all these measures cooled down the number of transactions, but not the price,” the agent said.

Prices of lived-in homes in Hong Kong increased by 160 per cent from 2010 to 2021, according to a government index tracking the segment.

Families living in the city need to save up for an average of 23.2 years, without spending a single dollar on anything else, to afford a home in the city, according to the 2022 Demographia International Housing report.

Prices have fallen by about 6.5 per cent so far in 2022, however, hitting their lowest level in three-and-a-half years in August, according to a government index. Prices could nosedive 30 per cent through 2023 as interest rates deter buyers, according to a Goldman Sachs forecast.

Are Hong Kong homeowners likely to face negative equity if cooling measures remain?

Hong Kong saw 55 cases of residential mortgage loans in negative equity in the three months ended June 30, according to HKMA data, down from 104 in the three months ended March 31.

The number of negative-equity cases is on the brink of spiking as home prices have fallen almost 10 per cent, according to the agent.

Recent borrowers with LTV of 90 per cent – a high LTV available only to first-time buyers through the HKMA’s mortgage insurance programme – are at risk of falling into the negative equity camp if prices continue to trend lower. A spike in negative equity cases in 2016 – when prices fell more than 10 per cent from a peak – represents a relevant reference for what might lie ahead.

近期，投资银行瑞银 (UBS) 落实撤出中环，大手预租尖沙嘴广深港高铁西九龙总站上盖 (下称高铁上盖项目) 近25万方呎楼面，业界人士指，外资撤出中环陆续有来，预期甲厦受压，租金持续下调。不过，亦有代理强调，波动仅属短期，长远来说，中环区甲厦始终供应有限，未来由中资机构主导市场。

瑞银提早近4年，预租高铁上盖项目9层楼面，涉及总楼面约25万方呎，成为项目首个主要租户，令市场瞩目。根据六家大型测量师行及代理行资料，目前中环整体甲厦空置率介乎8.1%至8.4%，其中有外资代理预测，中环区内明年将有2幢新甲厦落成，提供逾100万方呎新供应，料空置率持续上升，届时升至12.4%，新供应为长实长江集团中心二期，总楼面55万方呎，以及恒基旗下美利道 The Henderson，提供46.5万方呎楼面。

空置率8.4%历年新高

另一代理行资料显示，今年初，中环超级甲厦 (指标甲厦) 平均呎租113.1元，惟直至第三季，呎租回落至108.9元，较年初下跌3.7%，该行认为，今年内租金继续下跌，比较年初跌幅约5%。

明年新供应100万呎

事实上，在疫市下，甲厦市况陷入前所未有低潮，根据另一外资代理行资料，目前整体甲厦空置率高达14.1%，空置楼面为1190万方呎，属历来最高。不过，中环空置率8.1%，则是各区当中最低，湾仔 (铜锣湾)、尖沙嘴及港岛东分别为11.5%，13.2%及11.1%，东九龙空置率20.2%，则是全港最高。

不过，有代理则强调，甲厦短期内受压，高空置推跌租金，不过，假若疫市一过去，长綫势必平稳及向好，该代理认为，中环是最核心商业区，却是「弹丸之地」，疫市之前，空置率曾出现1%至2%的低水平，当扣除正常租客更替后，等于「零」空置，大机构找不到合适位置，故此，超级甲厦国际金融中心呎租被推至逾200元，连分散业权的美国银行中心呎租也曾创下100元新高。

该代理续说，早于2017年及2018年，中资公司蜂拥来港，国内各大证券行争相落户中环，指标甲厦国际金融中心几乎清一色中资，现时股市低迷，他们没有扩张，但没有迁走，一旦市况恢復，甲厦又有一番景象。该代理补充说，约十年前，外资保险公司及金融机构陆续迁港东岛及九龙东。

甲厦售价按月跌0.9% 代理行：料低位徘徊

踏入今年第三季，受疫情及未放宽的防疫措施影响，加上营商情绪转趋低迷，写字楼市场表现仍然疲弱。有代理行指，整体甲厦售价亦录得轻微跌幅，按月回落0.9%，今年以来累积跌4.2%。

今年以来累跌4.2%

该行发表的商厦市场报告指，商厦成交量持续于低位徘徊，其中50大甲厦上月仅录4宗买卖，较8月份的2宗稍微上升，受经济增长放缓、内地及国际企业需求降温等因素影响，写字楼租金走势持续向下，甲厦租金按月跌0.5%，今年以来累积挫5.5%。

面对多重利淡因素，连同市场上大批商厦新供应，潜在投资者或租户承租商厦取态审慎，商厦空置率维持高企，最新见10%，创近一年新高，当中东九龙空置率更升至16.2%，创2020年6月有纪录以来新高。

短期后市未明朗

报告又指出，上月连续录4宗楼价过亿的成交。最瞩目的商厦买卖为辗转放售多时的九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢，成交价约65亿，平均呎价7,625元，暂为今年以来最大额工商物业成交。大买卖亦包括新世界沽售长沙湾永康街商厦项目逾51%业权，作价近31亿。

该行指出，虽然政府已推出「0+3」入境政策，但预计短期内未能带动物业市场。除非政府能够推出迈向全面通关的具体详情及利好政策，否则商厦市场将继续受压，復甦之路漫长。该代理估计投资者及企业对承租甲级写字楼保持观望态度，未来交易倾向以细面积及低呎价为主。若能进一步放宽入境及防疫政策，料能促进企业来港进行商业活动，重新带动写字楼需求。

写字楼租金续跌 港岛南3.4%最多

写字楼租金持续向下，有外资代理行统计指，第3季整体写字楼租金续向下，而中环空置率升至8.3%。

该外资代理行最新发表的2022年第3季香港写字楼租赁市场报告指出，上季空置率创下新高，中环及九龙东的商厦受到较大影响。本港各区的租金在第3季度进一步下跌，当中以西九龙走廊 (长沙湾 / 葵涌 / 荃湾) 的跌幅最小 (0.4%)，港岛南 (3.4%) 跌幅最大。中环上季实质租金跌至每月每平方呎102.5元，较2019年的高峰水平下降了33%，而全港整体平均租金亦较高位下跌了约30%。

第3季整体写字楼空置率为10.2% (约650万净平方呎)，当中以九龙东 (14.4% / 190万净平方呎) 及中环 (8.3% / 130万净平方呎)的空置情况尤其显著。部分地区的空置率已接近或稍高于2009年环球金融海啸时的水平。

中环空置率升至8.3%

该行代理指出，由于本港尚未通关，加上股市疲弱，窒碍了中资公司的租赁需求，但仍发现来自ESG、金融科技、加密货币、艺术品拍卖、医疗服务、政府和公营机构及私人会所等行业的租赁正在逐渐增加。

疫下灵活办公兴起 营运商纷扩充

疫情下灵活办公概念兴起，出租率不俗，令相关营运商看準商机，近日纷纷扩充，租用甲厦楼面。

据一间外资代理行数字显示，在2021至2022年，分别有21.9万及16.4万平方呎商厦租务成交，涉及共享空间、灵活办公室，单计今年第3季，已佔整体商厦新租务约1成，在整体商厦租务淡静下，此行业扩充已相对积极。

其中，近2年大举扩充的IWG集团，今年继续物色楼面，近日宣布再增两据点，旗下品牌Signature和Spaces即将新设2个办公空间，进一步拓展在港业务，包括下月1日啟用的Signature办公空间进驻九龙站环球贸易广场 (ICC) 第86层，佔地3.3万平方呎，设有467个工作区、6个会议室和60个私人办公室。

IWG 扩展业务 增2据点

另一据点为中环云咸街33号 (前称LKF Tower) 的Spaces办公空间，佔地5层共2.56万平方呎，提供5个会议室，以及来自56个私人办公室及整层企业专属楼共265个工作区，而19楼将会设立「商务俱乐部」，以便客户互相交流。据了解，相关楼面原由共享空间WeWork租用，早前退租迁出。

IWG 香港及大湾区区域经理 Paul MacAndrew 表示，观察到愈来愈多公司投入混合工作模式，不仅在传统商业区，就连新商业区也反映着如此强劲的趋势；随着在环球贸易广场和LKF Tower分别开设Signature和Spaces办公空间，反映公司更进一步扩展了在香港市场的业务。

至于新加坡共享工作空间品牌The Great Room，早前预租中环长江集团中心2.1万平方呎，将于今年第4季开幕。全新的工作间设有22间私人办公室，包括2个企业办公室 (Enterprise Units)，而私人办公室中的会籍由1.55万元起，而流动办公桌 (Hot Desk) 每月会籍则由3,600元起。The Great Room创办人及行政总裁洪可珈 (Jaelle Ang) 指，香港为品牌在亚太区业务扩展策略中非常重要的跳板，未来将放眼悉尼、上海、北京及东京等地。

TEC 士丹利街据点 出租率85%

至于TEC (德事商务中心) 旗下中环士丹利街28号新据点近日开幕，成为集团在港第13个据点。涉及该厦全幢19层，总楼面约5.5万平方呎，提供500个办公位，现出租率达85%。

分析指，疫情下不少机构採取混合工作模式，令灵活办公概念更加盛行，故商务中心、共享空间等业务，疫情下没受影响，反而出租率更佳。同时间，整体甲厦租金仍在低位徘徊，造就灵活办公空间品牌趁机扩充，按现时走势，相关品牌扩充步伐未有减慢，料可支持甲厦租务市场。

嘉湖酒店改装住宅涉1102伙 规划署不反对 项目需补地价

在疫情影响下，本港旅游及酒店等行业受到打击，部分财团率先变阵改划旗下项目发展；长实上周申请改装红磡海韵轩海景酒店后，最新持有的天水围嘉湖海逸酒店，早前曾向城规会申请改装1102伙住宅单位，伙数较2020年获批重建方案大减约78%。最新获规划署不反对，城规会将于今日举行审议有关申请料会「开绿灯」通过。若日后落实发展，项目需进行补地价程序。

规划署认为，拟议发展不会对交通、空气、噪音和污水处理产生重大不利影响。目前的申请是对现有建筑物进行大规模改造，使其用途基本相同，而且方案不涉及重建或任何轻微放宽地积比率及建筑物高度，预计不会影响周边景观，故规划署不反对上述方案，预料在今日可获城规会通过。

预计不会影响周边景观

据文件显示，嘉湖海逸酒店位于天水围市地段第4号，邻近港铁天水围站，目前属「商业」地带，申请拟议改装整幢现有酒店作「分层住宅」及准许的商业用途。上述项目地盘面积约30万方呎，当中住宅楼面约59.92万方呎，非住宅楼面则佔约56.4万方呎，即整个项目可建总楼面约116.32万方呎，另提供约945个车位。

是次改建涉及将现时的嘉湖海逸酒店 (第1及2座) 进行全幢改装，以提供1102个住宅单位，及将酒店地下及一楼改作商业用途，而现有平台的商业用途 (置富嘉湖第一及二期) 则予以保留。

当时申请人指，拟议发展计画能在短期内供应住宅单位，并与政府增加房屋土地供应及鼓励置业的政策相符。由于现有商业平台将予以保留，申请地点将继续发挥其通达性强的地区购物中心的重要作用，继续为天水围的居民提供服务。与重建相比，建议的改建方案将大幅减少产生建筑废物、污染物和能源消耗，更具可持续性。

事实上，长实早年曾向城规会提出重建项目作住宅发展，当年申请重建成两幢楼高53层的分层住宅，合共提供5000个住宅单位，平均每个单位面积约300方呎，并于2020年12月获城规会批准重建。是次改建方案对比2020年获批重建的5000伙，大幅减少3898伙或约78%。事实上，不少发展商会将项目申请多个规划，以增加项目发展的灵活性。

由爪哇控股持有的香港铜锣湾皇冠假日酒店，新近向城规会申请重建1幢楼高28层的商厦，涉及可建总楼面逾16万方呎。最新亦获规划署不反对，料今日城规会审议时会通过。

皇冠假日酒店申重建今审议

据城规会文件显示，上述项目位于铜锣湾礼顿道8号，目前属「住宅 (甲类)」地带，申请改划为拟议办公室、商店及服务行业及食肆发展。上述项目地盘面积约10725方呎，以地积比率约15倍发展，以重建为一幢楼高28层，包括3层地库的商厦，涉及可建总楼面约16.09万方呎商业楼面；拟议发展项目5楼至23楼为写字楼楼层，而地下至5楼将提供38750方呎作「商店及服务行业」或「食肆」用途，以支援铜锣湾购物娱乐中心，另外亦提供76个停车位。

申请人曾指，申请地点位置交通方便，非常适合用作商业用途，及与周边土地用途产生协同效应并带来整体利益，而且不会改变现时当区混合用途的特性。而且商铺、食肆与办公室共同坐落于申请地点，不会造成不协调和安全问题。拟议的零售楼面可与现时铜锣湾旅游购物热点互相补充。重建现时的商用大厦并不会减少未来房屋供应。

长实酒店项目连环改建住宅

近年不少财团积极将旗下酒店项目申请改划住宅发展，据本报统计，单计长实已有3个酒店项目申请或获批改划住宅发展，合共涉及3363伙住宅单位；其中，该公司上周就旗下红磡海韵轩海景酒店向城规会申请全幢改装，以提供约1503个住宅单位及约442个酒店房间，当中酒店房间数目较现时大减约78%。

据城规会文件显示，海韵轩海景酒店位于红磡红乐道12号，目前属「商业 (3)」地带，申请拟议分层住宅及准许的酒店、商店及服务行业和食肆用途并略为放宽私家车/货车公眾停车场的总楼面面积。

约442个酒店房

地盘面积约106994方呎，住宅部分总楼面约802090方呎，非住宅楼面约401756方呎。拟议发展将现时的海韵轩酒店改建成约1503个住宅单位及约442个酒店房间，当中酒店房间数目对比现时的1980个，大幅减少1538个或约78%。

现时该酒店共有3幢物业，是次改建住宅分布于第1座及第2座，而第3座则作酒店用途。据发展计画，在较低楼层则设有零售和餐饮设施。在优化地下至二楼的空间布局以容纳所需的内部运输设施、住宅和酒店大堂、机电设施等，拟议发展能提供一个约149135方呎的公眾停车场。

由于所提供的总楼面面积比核准图规定作提供私家车/货车公眾停车场的不少于175453方呎的总楼面面积减少约26318方呎，即减少约15%，因此需要略为放宽私家车/货车公眾停车场的总楼面面积。

另外，长实旗下马鞍山海澄轩海景酒店，亦于2020年向城规会改划作住宅发展，以提供758个单位，涉及可建总楼面约48.29万方呎，该改划方案并于去年2月获城规会同意。

屯门弦海商场意向价2.5亿

近年民生区物业受捧，有发展商趁势放售旗下非核心物业，庄士中国旗下屯门弦海商场放售，物业市值约2.5亿。

弦海商场位于屯门业旺路101号，于2020年落成，建筑面积约24950方呎，平均呎价约1万，配备连商业车位及广告牌，楼底特高最高约5.12米，适合各类租户及用家。该物业坐落民生地段，邻近未来屯门南延綫第16区站，毗邻屯门河，享开扬河景。

有外资代理行代理表示，今年初，政府就屯门南延綫展开前期工作，预计明年动工，项目通车后，新设铁路站与物业将近在咫尺，乘搭屯马綫可直达即将兴建的洪水桥站。

另一代理表示，红磡马头围道37至39号红磡商业中心1及2楼 (前身为戏院) 与2楼V9号铺，总建筑面积共约23489方呎，意向价1.7亿，平均呎价约7237元。

红磡商中巨铺意向1.7亿

该代理表示，美国连番加息，全球金融市场亦被波及，股市首当其冲持续下跌，由高位急速回落，买砖头保值自然是较稳健及长綫投资策略，上述物业由一家护老院承租，签下10年长租约，买家即买即可享稳定回报，是逆市投资选择。

Harbour Plaza flats plan set

The proposal by CK Asset (1113) to convert the Harbour Plaza Resort City hotel in Tin Shui Wai into 1,102 flats is set to be approved by the Town Planning Board today.

With a site area of 27,900 square meters, CK Asset plans to rebuild the two blocks which involve 55,668 square meters of gross floor area for residential use and 52,395 of area for commercial use.

CK Asset applied to the board in 2019 for the redevelopment which would offer 5,000 flats with an area of 139,500 square meters for residential use and obtained the approval at the end of 2020.

Meanwhile, an application to turn the Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard in Tsim Sha Tsui into a food and beverage hub is expected to receive the green light as well, as the strip has been hit by a lackluster market.

The owners of three shop properties applied to the Town Planning Board for a change in June.

Another grant may go to the conversion of Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay - a hotel owned by Sea Holdings (0251) - into a 28-story commercial building for offices, shops and services and eating venues. With a site area of 996.38 sq m and a plot ratio of 15 times, the hotel will be rebuilt into a commercial project with an area of 14,945.66 square meters.

HK foreclosures reach level of bad memories

The number of property foreclosure deals has surged to a level reminding people of the financial upheaval in 2008.

According to a property agency, properties being offered for sale at auction reached 209 yesterday - 11 more than last month.

The current number has also exceeded the 200 level for the first time since November 2009.

On the pattern of foreclosures, it was noted too that in 2008 the number jumped to over 300 from about 200 cases within half a year.

This came as property owners failed to keep up with their mortgage loan repayments amid price falls, so plenty of homes went on the auction block.

There were 633 homes foreclosed in 2008 and 705 in 2009.

A property agent said that the foreclosure deals might reach at least 400 if the economy keeps worsening. So the agent appealed to the administration to reduce stamp duties to boost the property market.

At the same time, a market index revealed that home prices in the secondary market have lost an average of over 10 percent of their values from the highs of last August.

But arrivals of skilled personnel from the mainland boosted rents of top-line homes in Hong Kong during the third quarter, a study by another estate agency shows.

The agent said luxury rents on Hong Kong Island showed 1.2-percent growth while in Kowloon and the New Territories the rises were 1.9 percent and 0.5 percent respectively.

The residential leasing report revealed too that professionals from the mainland prefer a traditional style of home, resulting in rents in Happy Valley and Jardine's Lookout climbing 3.2 percent quarter-on-quarter while in Southside there was a 1.9-percent increase.

Elsewhere, rents around Ho Man Tin and Kowloon Tong grew 2.2 percent compared with the previous quarter while in Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom the increase was 1.8 percent.

北部都会区发展加速，城规会昨日批出长实 (01113) 位于天水围的嘉湖海逸酒店改装成住宅的申请，有望在短中期内带来约1,102伙供应。

嘉湖海逸酒店在2000年开幕，至今约22年，由两座酒店及基座的「+wo嘉湖」商场组成，长实在2020年底曾经获城规会批准重建成为摩天住宅大厦，提供5,000伙，到今年中再以能够提供短期供应为由，再提交改装方案，大致是将每间酒店房间改装成一个分层住宅单位。

该申请昨日获得城规会的有条件批准，相信包括交通影响评估、渠务、消防等一般程序。早前地政处亦曾提醒，受项目地契所限，有机会需要进行契约修订及补地价。

由于今次长实採用「改装」方式，只要补地价过程顺利相信项目涉及的1,102伙，很快可以推出市场。

栢丽大道准作食肆商铺

另外，尖沙咀栢丽购物大道的业主立案法团早前向城规会申请，放宽容许作为食肆及商铺之用，亦获得城规会批准，不过由于该申请列明比例不超过一半，亦涉及地契问题，即使申请获批后，个别商铺业主仍然向地政总署申请豁免书。

至于由爪哇 (00251) 持有的铜锣湾皇冠假日酒店，亦获准重建1幢楼高28层的商厦，总楼面逾16万平方呎。

另已服务20年的九巴大埔车厂，最新向城规会申请放宽建筑物高度限制，以重建1幢楼高4层的巴士厂，总楼面约56.37万平方呎，日后提供443个巴士停车位。

Buyers await policy address amid price cuts

Home buyers in Hong Kong remained in wait-and-see mode ahead of Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu's policy address this Wednesday but the number of secondary deals rose, with sellers slashing prices by as much as 21 percent.

A property agency recorded 12 deals at 10 major estates over the weekend, twice the number of the previous week.

The company said that as many new projects were waiting policy address announcements before launching sales, buyers returned to the secondary market, which was also stimulated by further price cuts.

Another property agency meanwhile recorded nine deals at 10 major estates, up by four deals, but five of the estates recorded no deals.

After several discounts, a flat at Metro City phase three sold for HK$6.3 million, down by 21 percent from the asking price of HK$8 million in June.

Another flat in Metro City phase one sold for HK$5.82 million after a nearly HK$1 million discount, compared to the asking price of HK$6.8 million in June.

And a flat in City One Shatin with an area of 304 square feet sold for HK$4.8 million, down by 5.9 percent from the asking price of HK$5.1 million in early October.

In other news, the Urban Renewal Authority is looking at adopting advanced land grant applications for major redevelopment projects in the future, so developers can start construction on cleared land if there are only a few occupants in some old buildings.

The benefits of the advanced land grant application is that the URA and developers can adjust construction arrangements according to the clearance progress, including protection measures for the units and buildings still occupied, allowing construction to start earlier and shortening the waiting time.

The URA streamlined the redevelopment process of the Shing Tak Street project by piloting an advanced land grant application.

The authority is now in discussions with the Lands Department to speed up the land grant process for the project so that the relevant land grant documents can be obtained earlier for tender, with a view to commencing the project with developers in 2023 at the earliest.

Hong Kong long-stay landlords battle desperate hotels for finite guests as former quarantine rooms flood market

Hotels slash rates to fill their rooms now that quarantine stays are gone, luring guests from serviced apartments and the leasing market

Only a reopening of the border with the mainland and a ‘0+0’ policy will fill up hotel rooms and restore normal conditions, insiders say

Hong Kong’s serviced-apartment operators are taking friendly fire from an unlikely competitor, as hotels that have lost their quarantine income slash prices to fill empty rooms after local authorities relaxed their isolation rules for inbound travellers.

The former quarantine hotels are hurting for guests because few business travellers and tourists have returned, leaving the market flooded with vacant rooms, said Derek Sun Wei-kong, managing director of Signature Homes.

“Hotels, when they are not full, tend to lower the price and attract long-stay guests,” he said. “And that’s basically taking market share from serviced apartments and residential.”

Signature Homes is the residential leasing arm of Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value. It manages more than 2,000 units.

“If you just go to any hotel, they are bound to have some long-staying guests,” Sun said. “Hotels tend to give out quite a significant discount for those 14-day stay packages.” Guests can also renew multiple times, he added.

SHKP’s leasing portfolio has units costing from about HK$20,000 (US$2,830) a month for a studio of 400 sq ft in Tseung Kwan O to about HK$500,000 for a 5,000 sq ft unit in The Peak or Island South.

By contrast, Regal Hongkong Hotel in Causeway Bay is offering a long-stay package of 30 nights in a standard room for only HK$14,900 until December 31, according to its website.

The government engaged some 26,000 hotel rooms – about 29 per cent of Hong Kong’s total inventory – up until September 26 when hotel quarantines were scrapped.

“Suddenly, they have no need of it,” he told the Post in an interview. “So the 26,000 rooms kind of flooded the market immediately.”

With no reopening of the border with mainland China in sight, 85 per cent of the previous mainland China market is non-existent, said William Cheng Kai-ming, chairman of Magnificent Hotel Investments.

The current 0+3 policy, which requires incoming visitors to monitor their health status for three days and take frequent tests, is deterring leisure visitors, while corporate and special event visitors contribute only a small amount of bookings, Cheng said. Staycation bookings have also diminished because locals are back to earmarking their travel budgets for overseas trips, he added.

“Even with the introduction of a ‘0+0’ policy, which is not expected any time soon, bookings or occupancies may only improve by 15 or 20 per cent, as that is how much the non-mainland Chinese market used to contribute,” Cheng said. “Unless the mainland Chinese border reopens completely, there are not going to be any meaningful bookings, and most hotels will be operating at heavy losses.”

Many may close down before year’s end, Cheng said.

Only the introduction of a 0+0 policy will bring short-term travellers to Hong Kong and fill the hotels, which would send long-stay guests back to serviced apartments, Sun said.

Signature Homes expects to add 1,000 more units, or 500,000 sq ft to its portfolio by the end of 2023, boosting the total to about 3 million sq ft, Sun said. These additions include a hotel, which he declined to name, that may be turned into serviced apartments and a new development in Cheung Sha Wan.

Another developer, CK Asset, early this month filed an application with the Town Planning Board to convert its Harbourview Horizon Suites in Hung Hom from a hotel to a mix of residential and hotel units.

Signature Homes has spent “hundreds of millions” since March 2021 on renovating flats at Dynasty Court in Mid-Levels. The first batch of 34 units has been fully leased.

Residential leasing landlords have seen the proportion of mainland and local tenants rise from 25 per cent in 2018 to 40 per cent now, with the rest being foreign tenants. They foresee that proportion staying as it is for a while.

For serviced apartments, the proportion of mainland and local tenants is about 30 per cent to 40 per cent. But local tenants make up half of the total at some properties.

Rents in Hong Kong have dropped by 5 to 10 per cent since 2018 amid the 2019 social unrest and Covid-19, Sun said.

安达臣商业地招标

受疫情影响，本港商业气氛不景，政府推售商业用地步伐未见放缓，地政总署昨公布推出观塘安达臣道商业地招标，该项目可建总楼面约11.03万方呎，综合市场估值约5.5亿至6.1亿，每方呎估值约5000至5500元。

上述用地位于观塘安达臣道对出 (测量约份第3约地段第1077号)，指定作非工业 (不包括住宅、办公室、酒店、仓库及加油站) 用途，将于下周五 (21日) 开始招标，11月18日截标。

市场估值约5.5亿至6.1亿

该项目由两个「大细不一」的地盘组成，其中较大的一幅位于安健道，而较细的一幅则位于安禧街。地盘面积合共5.7万方呎，涉及可建总楼面约11.03万方呎，发展规模故早前批出的同区另一幅商业地皮细约20%。综合市场估值约5.5亿至6.1亿，每方呎估值约5000至5000元。

可建总楼面约11万呎

业内人士指，安达臣道新发展区，地盘邻近用地大部分正进行平整及其他前期工程，基建配套尚未充分落实，而且安达臣道一带主要作公营及资助房屋发展，另有学校和社区设施，上述项目可发展为区内的主要的商业设施，可提供商店，餐饮及娱乐楼面，服务区内居民。由于项目发展规模小，涉及投资额不多，不排除最终由同一发展商夺标，以发挥协同效应，争取较高的租金回报。

今年8月该区亦批出一幅商业地为安达臣道对出 (测量约份第3约地段1078号)，由领展以7.66亿夺得，当时每方呎楼面地价约5501元。该项目地盘面积约6.3万方呎，指定作非工业，不包括住宅、办公室、酒店、仓库及加油站用途，可建总楼面约13.9万方呎。

资料显示，该区仅批出两幅卖地表住宅地，对上一幅为2022年5月由长实以49.51亿夺得的首置盘地皮，当时每方呎楼面地价约4546元；而首幅住宅地为2018年初华懋以31.128亿夺得安达臣道对出 (测量约份第3约地段第1068号)  用地，每方呎楼面地价12003元；其后，政府增加房屋供应，将区内6幅私楼用地拨作公营房屋，令区内发展规模大变天，并以公营房屋主导。

栢丽大道改咖啡茶座等获城规批准

本港商业气氛不景气，不少商业项目亦转型发展；尖沙嘴栢丽购物大道将「大变身」，该项目今年中向城规会申请改划作自助餐厅、咖啡室及茶室等，并增加趣味点及「打卡位」添加活力，打造「港版」巴黎香榭丽舍大道；日前项目获规划署不反对，城规会昨议审时获「开绿灯」，在有附带条件下批准。

上述申请由栢丽购物大道业主立案法团提出，将栢丽购物大道地下及一楼改作食肆、商店及服务行业用途，而计画建议「食肆」用途设置不超过50%总楼面面积限制。申请人曾指，栢丽购物大道为构成香港历史和特色重要的一部分，尤其是它所代表的香港经济繁荣的形象。

增加趣味点及「打卡位」

因应近年来本港社会经济环境的范式转移，特别是尖沙嘴区的经济环境转变及旅游购物者的减少，导致店铺关闭及城市活力下降，建议从城规方面取得一些弹性，以便日后将一些现有的零售商店转变为更多样化、更具特色的其他商业用途，旨为这购物大道重新注入城市生活。

面对近年急速的社会经济变化，拟议的用途对于增加当地经济的灵活性和韧力有着关键作用。凭藉多样化的商业活动，计画为弥敦道最宽阔的一段提升公共空间的趣味性，为公眾和游客塑造一个有趣的公共空间，供本地居民及游客享用，通过增加趣味点及「打卡位」以应对社会经济和市场的变化。

规划署认为，是次改划没有增加额外的面积，其上方的屋顶花园也不会受影响，周边树木、景观不会受影响；而且作多元化发展，在土地运用上没有与周边环境不相符，署方认为可为栢丽购物大道增添活力。

整个栢丽购物大道项目，涉及3幢物业，地盘面积约5.82万方呎，现有总楼面约8.22万方呎。

Hong Kong property stocks regain favour as investors and developers bank on John Lee’s policy tailwinds

Shares of home builders jumped in a broadly bullish market as investors bet on policy support to stem market slump

The industry’s powerful lobby this week urged removal of old measures that have outlasted their purposes in a different market cycle

Hong Kong’s biggest developers surged in the biggest stock market rally in more than a week, on growing speculation the city will roll back market-cooling measures during a policy address later this month to support the industry.

Shares of Sun Hung Kai Properties, the biggest by market capitalisation, jumped as much as 6.5 per cent, before closing 0.7 per cent higher at HK$91.25 on Friday. Henderson Land Development rose 0.7 per cent to HK$21.90. The Hang Seng Properties sub-index rose 0.7 per cent, paring about half of its earlier advance.

Prices rose in tandem with broadly bullish trading as the city’s benchmark Hang Seng Index climbed 1.2 per cent to snap a six-day losing run. The gauge has slumped by almost 29 per cent this year to the lowest level in 11 years, contributing to a US$1.6 trillion market-wide erosion in equity wealth.

Friday’s rebound was preceded by a call earlier this week by the Real Estate Developers Association (Reda), the industry’s powerful lobby, for measures to help shore up prices and prevent so-called “negative equity” cases, or home values sliding below mortgages. Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu is due to deliver his Policy Address on October 19.

Home prices in Hong Kong fell 2.3 per cent in August to their lowest level in 3.5 years, after taking successive blows from the social unrest in 2019, the impacts of Covid-19 pandemic curbs and a surge in interest rates this year at home and abroad. Goldman Sachs forecast home prices to fall by 15 per cent in 2022 and a further 15 per cent in 2023.

“If the cooling measures remain amid the backdrop of the global economic downturn and political turmoil, we will see a sharper price correction and rising cases of owners in negative equity,” a property agent said. “It is high time to consider removing the stamp duties.”

Reda this week urged the city to remove punitive taxes, a holdover from previous administrations to douse speculative purchases and keep homes affordable.

Lee could adopt measures including removing the 15 per cent stamp duty that non-resident buyers must pay on their purchases, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing people it did not identify. Scrapping that levy could support home prices, according to CGS-CIMB Securities.

“The move would not be a surprise to us,” said Raymond Cheng, property analyst in Hong Kong at CGS-CIMB. “It is a way to attract more talent, especially from mainland China.”

The action may be needed because of a “faster-than-expected rise in Hibor, and hence mortgage rates,” the brokerage said in a report, referring to the Hong Kong interbank offered rates. Higher borrowing costs will continue to erode affordability, [and] keep investors away “unless macro or policy becomes more supportive,” it added.

中环核心商业区租金向下，吸引不少机构回流，甚至持续有外资租用写字楼。在新加坡设立的数字资产金融服务公司Antalpha首度在港租用写字楼单位，以每月45万元租用中环陆海通大厦 (LHT Tower) 低层全层作为本港办事处，呎租80元，较高位下跌36%，重返该厦2011年入伙时的水平。

市场消息指出，中环皇后大道中31号陆海通大厦9楼全层，面积约5611方呎，最新以每月45万元租出，呎租约80元，租期3年。

较4年前高位滑落超过三成

资料显示，陆海通大厦重建后于2011年入伙，当时呎租约80元起，其后在2018年呎租最高曾攀至125元，现时最新呎租较高位大挫36%，并重返11年前该厦入伙的水平。

据了解，是次承租陆海通大厦9楼全层的租户，是从事数字资产金融服务的公司 Antalpha。Antalpha 在去年成立，总部位于新加坡，是虚拟货币矿机制造商比特大陆 (Bitmain) 的战略合作伙伴，今次首度在港承租写字楼作为办事处。

事实上，近期都有海外公司来港承租中环核心区写字楼，如在新加坡成立的共享办公室营运商 The Great Room 租用中环长江集团中心45楼全层，作为该公司在香港第二个据点，该层可租用面积约21334方呎，估计月租约320万元，呎租约150元，较2018年呎租212元回落近三成。

长江集团中心45楼原由虚拟货币衍生产品交易所 BitMEX 租用，据知 The Great Room 进驻上址后，BitMEX 将会向该共享办公室营运商租用部分办公室及办公桌，继续在该层营运。

此外，亦有公司在租金出现明显跌幅下，把办公室从九龙搬到港岛区。市场人士透露，现时租用观塘宏利金融中心高层单位的纬邇拓税务諮询 (Vialto Partners)，预租铜锣湾利园二期25楼1室，租用面积约9660方呎，月租约56万元，呎租约58元。

据资料顥示，利园二期在2019年时，呎租一度高见80元，目前租金已大幅下调27.5%，吸引部分机构从外区搬迁。

会财局156万预租太古坊二座

另边厢，会计及财务汇报局 (会财局) 亦预租稍后入伙的鰂鱼涌太古坊二座一层半楼面，涉及租用面积约31100方呎，以市值呎租约50元计，月租达155.5万元，将由湾仔合和中心迁至该厦。日本三井住友银行则租用太古坊二座两层共41200方呎，月租约206万元。

有外资代理行发表的报告显示，第三季香港甲级写字楼租赁市场录得约18.3万方呎的净吸纳量。惟本港的经济表现和商业气氛转坏，第三季甲级写字楼整体租金较第二季下跌2.3%，年初至今累挫4%。

甲厦买卖静 售价9月跌0.9%

踏入今年第三季，受疫情及未放宽的防疫措施影响，加上营商情绪转趋低迷，写字楼市场表现仍然疲弱。有本地代理行发表的商厦市场报告指出，商厦成交量持续于低位徘徊，其中50大甲厦上月仅录4宗买卖，较8月份的2宗稍微上升。

报告指出，受经济增长放缓、内地及国际企业需求降温等因素影响，写字楼租金走势持续向下，甲厦租金按月跌0.5%，今年以来累积挫5.5%。整体甲厦售价亦录得轻微跌幅，按月回落0.9%，今年以来累积跌4.2%。

商厦空置率10% 1年新高

面对多重利淡因素，连同市场上大批商厦新供应，潜在投资者或租户承租商厦取态审慎，商厦空置率维持高企，最新见10%，创近一年新高。当中东九龙空置率更升至16.2%，创2020年6月有纪录以来新高。

报告又指出，上月连续录4宗过亿元成交。最瞩目的商厦买卖为辗转放售多时的九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢，成交价约65亿元，平均呎价7,625元，暂为今年以来最大额工商物业成交。大买卖亦包括新世界 (00017) 沽售长沙湾永康街商厦项目逾51%业权，作价近31亿元。

该行代理表示，虽然政府已推出「0+3」入境政策，但预计该措施在短期内未能明显带动物业市场。除非政府能够推出迈向全面通关的具体详情及利好政策，否则商厦市场将继续受压，復甦之路依然漫长。他估计投资者及企业对承租甲级写字楼保持观望态度，未来交易倾向以细面积及低呎价为主。若能进一步放宽入境及防疫政策，料能促进企业来港进行商业活动，重新带动写字楼需求。

加息影响 第三季投资市场未见活跃

受加息影响，整体投资物业市场表现未见活跃，而成交数字主要倚靠数宗数十亿元大额买卖支撑。

有外资代理行数据显示，2022年第三季度的投资气氛继续受美联储加息影响，仅录得26宗大手交易。尽管市场出现一些大额成交及更多接管资产，但整体成交宗数仍按季跌16%，按年则跌49%。

大额买卖金额上，主要因市场录得数字巨额成交，其中九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢，以约70亿元易手。此外，新世界出售长沙湾永康街商厦项目51%业权，涉资30.788亿元，总楼面约274,547平方呎的，新买家为新加坡基金Ares SSG。

至于市场上最大额买卖，为长实旗下 21 BORRETT ROAD，获新加坡基金以约208亿元购入。

该行指，市场对冻仓及数据中心的需求殷切，令工业物业于2022年成为投资者的宠儿，但第三季度亦仅录得26亿元的总成交价，按季下挫73%。

检疫措施放宽 商铺更具吸引力

另一外资代理行指，第三季度商业地产投资额达按季增长5.7%至181亿元 (只计算交易额超过7,700万之物业，不包括净地或关联交易)。本季度仅登记了20宗交易，少于去年第二季度总数的一半。交易量与2019年第四季度至2020年第三季度的低位持平。该行指，年初至今的投资额达486亿元，仅为去年全年总额的60%。

有代理认为，第三季加息初期令买卖非常淡静，直至最近基金并重投市场，该代理指外资基金会把加息风险计算在内，故要求回报率近4厘。后市走势上，随着检疫措施逐步放宽，商铺资产对投资者更具吸引力，民生商场可以提供稳定的收入来源，而当关口重开时，核心区一綫街铺则会有强劲的升值潜力。同时，工业资产将继续备受机构投资者的青睞。

随着市场逐渐消化加息消息，加上酒店隔离结束，此两项因素将吸引外国投资者重新物色物业，预测2022年整体成交量按年增长15%。

至于另一代理则表示，由于加息周期开始，投资需求在第三季度减弱。虽然房地产基金的投资意慾不减，但本地投资者变得愈来愈谨慎。随着跨境旅游恢復，香港的营商气氛及经济增长前景将有所改善，但中国内地边境长期关闭及人民币兑美元/港元贬值，将为中国投资者需求復甦带来挑战。第四季投资量可能会维持普遍低位。

若果明年中国内地跨境旅游恢復，预计2023年投资势头将明显回升。该代理分析，加息将令投资者审慎，惟物业价格过去已累积一定跌幅，因此仍有基金、本地投资者趁机入市。物业类型上，他料随着旅客陆续重临，酒店入住率势改善，故具投资价值。

气氛转弱 罗素街8号录挞订

近月投资气氛转弱，市场不时录大额工商铺物业取消交易个案，并以商厦为主。

据资料显示，铜锣湾罗素街8号录得一宗取消交易，涉及物业19楼全层，原于6月以1.1亿元成交，单位面积约4,718平方呎，呎价约23,315元，上月尾相关交易已告取消。

新买家马时亨长女 失1成订金

翻查资料，上述物业原由港铁前主席马时亨长女刘马露明于6月份购入，当时新买家登记公司为全仁健康产品有限公司 (TM WELLNESS LIMITED)，刘马露明为公司董事。据悉，新买家曾透露购入该层楼面作自用，主要售卖健康产品，是次挞订离场，料损失约1成订金，涉及约1,100万元。

另外，今年初廖伟麟以约1.38亿元，购入上环南和行大厦地下1号铺，以及1、2楼两层写字楼，平均呎价约10,220元。据悉，相关交易近日亦宣告取消。

湾仔海外信託银行大厦 位置佳实用高

受惠于会展站开通，告士打道商厦交通上更便利，而海外信託银行大厦位置理想及单位景观佳。

告士打道为湾仔商厦集中地，交通上，由港铁湾仔站步行至该厦约10分鐘，大厦门口亦有多条巴士綫可到达。今年中港铁会展站通车，而大厦一大优势，是楼下有接驳天桥，前往湾仔新鸿基中心，邻近港铁会展站，交通比以前更便利。

此外，物业设有多层停车场，驾车人士可从大厦谢斐道入口进入停车场。

饮食配套上，可到附近谢斐道及骆克道，有多间茶餐厅以及酒楼可供选择，价钱上更相宜。另外，有天桥连接湾仔北新鸿基中心及华润大厦，不仅有酒楼、特色餐饮等，并有5星级酒店，提供商务午餐。

物业于1978年落成，楼高29层，大厦设两个入口，分别位于告士打道正门及谢斐道，均可前往物业电梯大堂，四通八达。大厦虽然楼龄略旧，早年物业进行大翻新，入口、电梯大堂等质素新，加设电子水牌，观感胜同区乙厦，稍为不足为地下大堂有数级楼梯出门口，而大厦提供升降机亦颇为充足。

间隔四正 实用率达8成

标準楼面全层面积由6,999至7,344平方呎，该厦主要为全层用家为主，间隔颇四正，而实用率高达8成，楼底则不算高。

单位另一优点为景观，告士打道普遍商厦景观亦开扬，惟部分因前方物业遮挡影响景观，物业位处单边，未来前面亦没有大型建筑，可享优质海景。

买卖方面，过往不乏投资界名人入市，包括2007年投资者罗家宝购入最顶5层楼面，其后沽货获利。2015年中原地产创办人施永青沽出物业20楼连车位，涉约1.16亿元，呎价15,797元，持货5年帐面获利逾半亿元。

2019年，物业全层单位连车位，以7,800万易手，平均呎价1.13万，买家为上市公司海峡石油化工控股 (00852)，期后物业再未录得买卖成交。

两层楼面放租 意向呎租约20

湾仔告士打道商厦为传统商业地段，现海外信託银行大厦两层楼面放租，意向呎租约20元。

每层月租14.7万

有代理表示，海外信託银行大厦低层两层楼面现正招租，每层面积约7,344平方呎，月租每层为14.7万元，意向呎租仅约20元，属低市价招租。事实上，目前告士打道商厦普遍约25元以上，业主现因应市况，降低叫租。

租务成交上，物业今年录两宗租务，物业2002室，面积约4,090平方呎，成交呎租约26元。另物业15楼全层，面积约7,344平方呎，以每呎约22.5元租出。

同区市况方面，亚洲联合财务中心高层，面积约5,300平方呎，近日以每呎约33元租出。另东美中心中层03至04室面积约1,240平方呎，成交呎租约26元。

鼎珮睿峰基座商场招标 估值约8亿

民生区商场今年承接力不俗，鼎珮表示，标售长沙湾睿峰 (前称恆大•睿峰) 基座3层，合共4.5万平方呎商埸，市场估值约8亿元。

鼎珮合伙人马宣义表示，委託三间外资代理行进行招标，出售长沙湾睿峰基座商场，项目于11月18日截标。他指，物业总楼面约4.5万平方呎，涉及30间铺位，项目刚落成。

预计每月租金收入200万

定价方面，鼎珮董事总经理陈玉成表示，未有为项目定意向价，而商场全部租出，预计每月租金收入约200万元。市场人士指出，项目估值约8亿元。

有代理指，睿峰商场地下铺位市值呎租约100元以上，而1、2楼呎租料约30至50元。

对于楼市前景，该代理认为，近期楼价稍调整，即使美国加息，香港加息幅度仍少，而政府亦有降低压力测试门槛。该代理并料政府会在施政报告推有利楼市措施，相信楼市已近见底，第四季可向好，而明年初市况可望完全回復正常。

去年鼎珮接手睿峰项目，该代理指已积极与所有买家沟通，大部分问题已解决，而出现有买家挞订或未能完成交易，是新盘都会有相同情况出现。该代理表示，睿峰尚有224伙待售，预计明年初重推，若政府落实减辣措施，或放宽至「0＋0」入境措施，带动市况向好，最快可于第四季重推单位。

首3季22宗强拍申请 超去年全年近4成

宏安会德丰最积极 业界料数字弹属追落后

强拍申请步伐加快，今年首3季土地审裁处合共接获22份强拍申请，已超越去年全年16宗近4成，当中以宏安地产 (01243) 及会德丰地产最积极。有业内人士预计，今年的申请逐步「追落后」，估计放宽强拍门槛后，申请才显著增加。

宏安4申请 3宗属鸭脷洲将合併

根据本报统计，今年首3季度土地审裁处已接获22宗强拍申请，已较去年全年接获16宗，多出6宗或约37.5%。若以宗数计，今年首3季接获 (已知财团背景) 的强拍申请中，宏安地产及会德丰地产最为积极，两者分别于期内递交4宗申请，其次为乐风集团，涉3宗，而排名第3的则为本地老牌家族永伦集团，已向土地审裁处提交2宗申请。

事实上，宏安地产今年的4宗申请中，有3宗位于南区鸭脷洲。据发展商早前透露，将会就该3个项目一併重建，以地积比率9倍计算，总楼面约6.3万平方呎。

至于会德丰地产的申请中，则有3宗位于跑马地黄泥涌道，发展商亦表示会将项目一併发展，并重建为豪宅。

以区域划分，港岛区申请最多，涉13宗，佔全数申请约6成，排名第2的为九龙区，佔8宗，而新界区只录1宗申请。

如以收购项目的现况市值计，新世界 (00017) 收购的波斯富街、利园山道一带旧楼，则为历来银码最大申请。项目佔地约19,831平方呎，其现况市值为45.05亿元，料重建后总楼面约29.75万平方呎。

有测量师指，疫情下，去年宗数严重遍低。过往2018至2020年的申请宗数均超过30宗，故今年逐步回弹属于「追落后」。

另一测量师认为，虽然在加息时代下，本港楼价受压，令小业主会较容易卖出自身业权，但鑑于发展商对后市未必过于乐观，因此未必会加快收购步伐。不过，当强拍门槛放宽，估计届时会有一篮子现时未符合门槛的强拍申请成功通过。他又预计政府会于第四季将相关草案提交予立法会。

邓成波家族旗下西贡全幢工厦放售，意向价约4.7亿，平均呎价约4700元，物业适合物流、冷链冻仓及集团自用等。

有代理表示：西贡康定路1号全幢物业，前身为四洲集团大厦，物业于1993年落成，现为楼高4层的工厦货仓，佔地约3.07万方呎，建筑面积逾10万方呎，另约2万呎停车场未有计入批准面积，实际总面积达12万呎，意向价约4.7亿，平均呎价约4700元 (未计车场)。

平均意向呎价4700元

受疫情及加息阴霾所影响，市场上出现不少银主盘，类别广泛，据一间本地代理行统计，截至10月13日，涉及工商住铺银主盘有逾209个放盘，创十三年新高，同时，由于银主盘与市价相比存有一定折让空间，因而吸引不少用家及投资者积极寻宝。

平均呎价9300元

新近市场录一宗银主盘易手个案，该物业位于石门京瑞广场二期高层户，成交价约1337万，平均呎价约9300元，较该厦目前平均成交呎价有约一成折让空间。

有代理表示，石门安群街1号京瑞广场二期高层B室，面积约1438方呎，以交吉形式交易，成交价约1337万元，呎价仅约9300元。按目前该厦录平均成交呎价约10049元计算，该物业价格回落约7%。

据了解，原业主于2016年以约1065.7万元买入单位后，于今年初因业主周转不灵而沦为银主盘。该代理分析，石门京瑞广场为区内商贸气氛浓厚，向来受用家及投资者追捧，而今次因叫价吸引，故短时间内旋即获承接。

根据该行资料显示，该厦今年首三季暂录6宗写字楼买卖，对比去年同期约7宗，仅轻微回落约1宗，证明该区近年转型发展，带动投资前景向好，吸引用家及投资者关注，承接力不俗。张氏续指，现时京瑞广场二期写字楼叫价介乎每方呎约10414元至13800元。

栢丽大道铺每呎62元租出 签半年短约 平过沙士价

近期谋求「大变身」的尖沙嘴栢丽购物大道，最新录一宗短租，面积约803方呎，以月租约5万租出，平均呎租约62元，新租客为夹公仔店进驻，签署半年短约，最新租金平过沙士价。

上址为尖沙嘴弥敦道111至181号栢丽购物大道地下68号铺，属该街道尾段，建筑面积约803方呎，市场消息指，新租客为夹公仔店，看中未来为圣诞新年旺季，签署半年短约，月租约5万，平均呎租62元。

夹公仔店进驻

事实上，该铺位过去6年间未录长租，对上长租客则为Alex Andro男装，月租16.5万，早于2016年7月撤出，及后，铺位一直录短租，对上短租客为皮具店LAVENGI。

有代理指出，自从2014年第三季「佔中」、打击水货客等活动后，经济转差，铺市一蹶不振，该街道表现逊色，尤其尾段陆续出现交吉铺位，租客以短租为主，及后2019年中开始，经历动乱以及疫市持续，现时更是吉铺处处。

栢丽购物大道业主立案法团早前向城规会申请改划，将街道地下及一楼改作食肆、商店及服务行业用途，计画建议「食肆」用途设置不超过50%总楼面面积限制，并增加趣味点及「打卡位」，打造「港版」巴黎香榭丽舍大道，日前获规划署不反对，城规会在附带条件下批准。

料改划后铺租升40%

有代理表示，当该街道改划成功，铺租将会增加，惟不会飆升，预期一个700多呎铺位月租约7至8万，平均呎租100元，事实上，尖沙嘴区铺位呎租普遍由60元至100元不等，食肆铺位大有选择。该代理预期，在有限度通关下，该街道即使引进食肆，靠本地客支持，只有短时间产生新鲜感，绝不会有人山人海效果。 该代理又说，现时月租5万属于「跌过笼」，平过沙士价，若升至7万，幅度逾40%，不过比较过往仍然跌一半。

马宝道地铺5300万易手

市场消息透露，北角马宝道2K号地下1及2号铺，建筑面积约1200方呎，以5300万易手，平均呎价4.41万，该物业楼龄约60年，原业主早于1953年持有物业，并于2008年以「送赠契」形式易手，新买家为顺禧物业，盛滙商铺基金创办人李根兴表示，该铺位门阔约28呎，铺深约30呎，位处北角民生乾货段，门面极阔，人流旺，惟必须留意的是乾货行业走下坡，消费力较疫弱，现址为吉铺，并没有租金收入。

国际财富管理机构瑞银 (UBS) 上周公布，提早近4年向新地 (00016) 预租尖沙咀广深港高铁香港段西九龙总站上盖 (下称高铁上盖项目) 9层写字楼约25万方呎楼面，作为新总部。不过，瑞银现时位于中环国际金融中心二期共14万方呎楼面，仍提早近两年续租，料涉及月租约1820万元，租金下跌近三成，租约至2029年，意味瑞银不会短期内撤出中环。

合约至2029年 延迟撤出中环

瑞银现时的香港总部位于国际金融中心二期，租用45楼半层、47至52楼全层，合共6层半，总租用面积共约14万方呎，租期至2024年。瑞银上周才公布，将进驻高铁上盖项目最高一座大楼的最顶9层，总楼面面积约25万方呎，其在香港的营运办公室会迁入新大楼，在2026年初开始进驻，提早近4年预租，令市场相信瑞银稍后将会撤出中环。

不过，瑞银在租用新写字楼的同时，已为目前中环总部作中长线部署，提早近两年续租国际金融中心二期的6层半楼面，租期由2024年7月至2029年6月，即瑞银进驻高铁上盖项目后，仍有一段时间会在中环维持办公地点。市场估计，国际金融中心二期的最新呎租约130元，估计上述续租楼面涉及月租约1820万元。

翻查资料，瑞银是国际金融中心二期2004年大厦入伙时首批进驻的租户之一，更是当时最大手的租户，向港铁 (00066) 租用14.6万方呎楼面，租期长达10年。由于当时香港经历完沙士疫情，商厦租金陷入谷底，据知首批租户的租金甚为「优惠」，料呎租只约30元 (扣除免租期等条款，呎租或低至不足20元)。

瑞银一直将总部设于国际金融中心二期，更在2013年续租，增租至9层楼面合共20.5万方呎，续租呎租已飆升2.5倍至约106元。其后由于全球经济增长放缓，一直有传瑞银会退租部分楼面，最终在2018年时只落实续租其中45楼半层、46至52楼共7层半，涉约16.5万方呎楼面，呎租调高到185元，租期至2024年。但受到新冠肺炎疫情影响，瑞银去年提早3年弃租46楼全层，令租用规模减至约14万方呎。以瑞银最新续租的呎租计，较2018年的185元，下跌29.7%。

预租高铁上盖未必準时交付

有业内人士认为，虽然瑞银已预租新写字楼，但该物业始终仍在建筑阶段，有许多不确定性因素，如未必能準时交付或装修有延误等，故瑞银仍续租中环国际金融中心二期，令日后搬迁时更具弹性。同时，目前商厦租赁市道低迷，提早续租可以锁定一个较低的租金水平。

资料显示，瑞银除国际金融中心二期外，还有租用上环李宝椿大厦和无限极广场，以及尖沙咀北京道一号共4幢商厦合共超过20层作为办公室，总楼面约29万方呎，部分租约在明年起逐步到期。

黄竹坑9项目陆续登场 成新商贸区

今、明两年黄竹坑区将有不少新建商厦落成，包括今年中入伙的商厦 Landmark South，以及明年入伙的商厦 S22 等，区内未来几年将陆续有9个商业项目推出，涉及逾200万平方呎商业楼面，逐渐转型成为商贸区。

黄竹坑早年属于工业区，早在60年代开始发展兴建了大量工业大厦，并且以轻工业为主，后来政府改划成为商贸区，本身将推动配合邻近的海洋公园发展酒店业，不过随着港铁南港岛綫通车，加强跟金鐘的交通接驳，发展商由酒店转为兴建商厦，近年已经陆续转型。

增206万呎楼面 8成建商厦

目前区内至少有9个商业项目，合共涉及逾206万平方呎楼面，当中8个属于办公室项目，餘下一个则为港铁 (00066) 旗下黄竹坑站港岛南岸的上盖商场THE SOUTHSIDE。

最早登场相信是信置 (00083) 伙拍帝国集团合作的 Landmark South，于2016年以约25.3亿元，投得业勤街商贸地，并且建成楼高28层商厦，总楼面面积约28.5万平方呎，包括16层甲厦、3层零售空间及艺术展览厅，另提供佔地约9,000平方呎空中花园，最顶两层29及30楼，享特高楼底。

Landmark South 单位面积约1,497至约1.4万平方呎，每平方呎租金约30餘元，当中艺术发展局将于此开设一个约5,000平方呎的多用途艺术展览空间。

THE SOUTHSIDE预租3成楼面

另外，明年亦有更多商业项目登场，当中同由帝国集团发展的香叶道22号商厦早前命名为「S22 」，项目楼高28层，总楼面面积达16.35万平方呎，每层面积约7,600呎。

而港铁旗下黄竹坑站港岛南岸上盖商场THE SOUTHSIDE，亦于明年开幕，项目总楼面面积近51万平方呎，设有5层商铺楼层，有约150间商户，提供约235个停车场车位，属于区内最大商场之一，招租工作亦进行中，预租楼面已超过30%。

同时，会德丰地产在今年5月申请强拍黄竹坑道合隆工业大厦，项目佔地约7,830平方呎，若果以地积比率15倍重建，可建楼面约11.74万平方呎。

W50 高层户 1600万易手

近年黄竹坑新落成商厦造价理想，当中黄竹坑 W50 日前录得一宗成交，涉及高层两伙合共面积约1,155平方呎，成交价约1,600万元易手，转售帐面赚约160万元。

厂家续购保济工厦楼面

该两个单位为高层1及2室，合共面积约1,155平方呎，原业主分别于2018年及2020年约739.8万及约700万元购入，早前以合共约1,600万元沽出，平均呎价约1.39万元，属于理想呎价，是次转手帐面赚160万元。

至于工厦方面，随着楼价下跌，吸引本港厂家增持区内物业。已有过百年历史的「保心安药厂」今年初以近1.22亿元购入黄竹坑道28号保济工业大厦5楼及11楼两层物业，呎价约8,820元，目前至少持有该厦6层楼面，对上一次是于2013年以约5,500万元购入14楼全层。原业主于1985至1998年间入市，合共作价约484万元，现帐面劲赚约1.17亿元，赚幅24倍。

沙田「蚊型」住宅地中标价高次标3.9%

上月底永泰地产伙拍万科海外以7.8638亿力压16个财团、投得的沙田显和里「蚊型」住宅地皮，地政总署昨日以不具名方式，公布其餘16份落选标价，出价介乎2.64亿至7.56575亿，楼面呎价约2955至8469元；而中标价较次标仅高出约3.9%，属险胜而回。

沙田显和里「蚊型」地于上月底共收到17份标书，由永泰地产伙拍万科海外以7.8638亿力压16个财团夺地，每方呎楼面地价约8802元，当时属贴近市场上限价，地政总署以不具名方式，公布其餘16份落选标价，从标价可见，首3标出价相当接近，介乎7.03亿至7.56575亿，每方呎楼面地价约7869至8469元。

次标出价约7.56575亿，与中标价相差约2980.5万，每方呎楼面地价约8469元，首标较次标仅高约3.9%，可见竞争十分激烈。紧随其后的投标价为7.17亿，相差约6938万，首标较高约8.8%，每方呎楼面地价约8026元。

最低出价仅2.64亿

值得留意的是，有财团以「执鸡」心态超低价入标，有2标出价不足3亿，最低标出价仅约2.64亿，与中标价相差约5.2238亿，差幅达约66.4%，楼面呎价仅约2955元。除中标的永泰地产及万科海外，其餘入标发展商包括长实、新地、信和、嘉华、佳明、鹰君、香港兴业、远东发展、汉国置业、英皇、中信泰富、中国海外等，而百利保伙拍富豪酒店入标，宏安则伙拍其士以合资方式参与竞投。

沙田显和里地皮，毗邻显径邻里社区中心，东面为田心消防局，北面为居屋云叠花园，位于港铁大围及显径站之间。项目地盘面积约14890方呎，可作纯住宅或商住形式发展，以纯住宅发展涉及可建楼面约89339方呎，是今季卖地表中最细的住宅地。

旺角商住地改划地建会支持

城规会早前就《旺角分区计画大纲核准图》提出修订建议，放宽区内多个商业及住宅地带的发展限制，包括将区内商业用地的地积比率由12倍上调至15倍，同时放宽建筑物高限至115米等。有关修订于諮询期收到5份申述，其中香港地产建设商会表态支持，惟香港规划师学会及保育人士均表示反对修订。

规划师学会：导致交通挤塞

地建会认为，原有大纲图对区内地盘施加限制，而是修订为私人发展商提供足够诱因，并鼓励参与更多社区重建项目，而且修订对城市设计及规划有利，故对有关修订表示支持。

香港规划师学会则指出，有关放宽地积比率及高度限制修订，不符合《香港2030+：跨越2030年的规划远景与策略》的框架，由于大增商业用地发展密度后，将会导致该区交通挤塞、人流过多等问题。

是次修订，主要包括删除对商业地带的12倍地积比率限制，在建筑物条件许可下地积比率增至15倍。并将界限街与太子道西之间，及旺角道与亚皆老街之间邻近港铁站的「商业」地带，建筑物高度限制由130米 (主水平基上．下同)，增加至160米；并把弥敦道两旁其餘的「商业」地带的建筑物高限由110米提高至140米。

把2幅太子道西、洗衣街、花墟道及园圃街的用地和西洋菜南街、登打士街、花园街及水渠道之间的用地由「住宅 (甲类)」地带，建议改划为「其他指定用途」註明「混合用途」地带，放宽目前只有最低3层商业用途的限制，允许更高的设计灵活性，而且建筑物高度限制亦增加15米至115米。另外，该区的住宅地亦有相应调整，修订「住宅 (甲类)、(戍类)」地带的「备註」，「住宅 (甲类)」及「住宅 (甲类) 3」的最新地积比率由7.5倍，增加至最新的8.5倍，以及纳入「住宅 (甲类) 4」。而且建筑物高限由100米，上调至115米。

Home prices to fall 5pc 'even if border reopens'

Home prices in Hong Kong will still fall 5 percent next year even if the border with the mainland reopens, DBS Hong Kong said yesterday.

Its forecast came as Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) rolled out a new project ahead of today's policy address in a move rarely seen by developers, who usually wait to see if any new polices will be revealed in the address before launching new developments.

Residential property prices in Hong Kong are down about 8 percent year-to-date and 11 percent from last year's peak, said Jeff Yau Cheuk-man, director of research at DBS Hong Kong.

Mortgage interest rates may rise to 3.5 percent next year, further affecting the property market, and as the supply of new flats increase, prices are expected to fall by 5 percent next year, he said.

Yau suggested the government relax property curbs to stop falling prices from hurting consumption.

He said talent will be attracted to the city if the government relaxes stamp duties, and the potential border opening will help stimulate market demand, but added that even if the government relaxes stamp duties, property prices will not necessarily rebound immediately.

Meanwhile, SHKP unveiled the first price list for Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long, offering 50 flats, with the cheapest priced at HK$3.91 million.

The discounted average price of the flats is HK$13,088 per square foot, which is not only the lowest starting price for new projects this year but also 14 percent lower than the first batch of flats at Park Yoho Napoli, which was launched in September 2018 by SHKP at an average price of HK$15,211 per square foot after discounts.

The first batch in Park Yoho Bologna includes 5 studios, 23 one-bedroom units, 5 two-bedroom units and 17 three-bedroom units, with areas ranging from 279 to 674 square feet.

In other news, Longfor (0960) said it has sold 582 units in Upper RiverBank since 2019 and there are still 85 unsold flats, which are all four-bedroom units. The developer will sell the remaining units by tender at an intended price of about HK$40,000 per square foot or more.

Easing of cooling measures is not a cure-all for Hong Kong’s struggling property market, say analysts

Any relaxation of the government’s cooling measures will only slow down the decline in homes prices but not reverse the trend, says DBS Bank analyst Jeff Yau

Chief Executive John Lee is expected to unveil many measures in his inaugural Policy Address to revive Hong Kong’s struggling economy

The potential easing of cooling measures anticipated in Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu’s maiden Policy Address will stimulate housing demand but not necessarily lead to a quick rebound in prices because of the prevailing headwinds, according to analysts.

Lee is expected to announce several groundbreaking measures in his address on Wednesday, aimed at reviving the city’s battered economy. Property developers and agents have been lobbying the government to scrap legacy stamp duties.

Analysts have not ruled out the possibility of the government relaxing some of its measures to cool the property market in the event of a sharp correction. However, its impact on steadying prices will be felt gradually, they added.

“After the relaxation, it does not mean the housing market will rebound tomorrow,” said Jeff Yau, group research executive director at DBS Bank (Hong Kong). “I believe the extent of the decline will slow down.”

If the cooling measures are dropped, the price decline may slow down but the trend will not be immediately reversed, he added.

The government introduced a series of extra stamp duties and taxes on residential property transactions since 2010 to curb non-local and speculative housing demand. The first was the Special Stamp Duty (SSD) in November 2010 to curb speculation, followed by the Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) in October 2012 to suppress demand from non-local buyers. A year later the Double Stamp Duty (DSD) was introduced, which is applicable to multiple property owners. Pressure has now mounted on these taxes as the city faces economic headwinds.

“BSD, SSD and DSD, do they need to exist at this moment?” Yau asked.

He also said he expected Hong Kong home prices to fall 5 per cent next year, joining analysts from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, and property agencies who have made similar forecasts.

Goldman’s predictions have been the most dire. It expects home prices to plummet by 30 per cent by the end of 2023, as sharply increasing interest rates continue to pressure affordability and repel investors from the market.

“I don’t think [prices] will immediately rebound sharply if [cooling measures] are withdrawn,” said Chong Tai-leung, associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Chong said the extra stamp duty made homeowners hesitant when deciding to sell and failed to tame the growth in home prices.

“I don’t think that these cooling measures have been effective,” said Chong. “It hinders the normal operation of the property market … so I have always recommended scrapping them.”

Chong said transaction volume has shrunk dramatically after the imposition of cooling measures, dampening the livelihood of many property agents and market players.

Chong expects transactions to improve if cooling measures are scrapped. “The entire industry chain, be it transactions or renovations, will pick up. The whole economy will recover.”

He said this requires a Chief Executive bold enough to scrap the cooling measures.

“The cooling measures were demand management measures introduced 10 years ago,” said Victor Lui Ting, deputy managing director at Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP). “The amount of stamp duty levied by the government in the past few years is not large. I believe the government will make adjustments balancing various parties’ views.”

Partial relaxation of the cooling measures would show that the government is adapting to the needs of the times, he added.

SHKP, Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value, priced the first batch of 50 flats at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long at HK$13,088 per square foot after discounts on Tuesday.

The price is 26.9 per cent lower than the HK$17,898 per square foot for the second phase of Grand Mayfair launched in May, according to data from a local property agency.

施政报告提出，进一步放宽旧楼强拍门槛，以加快旧区重建。当局建议放宽申请强拍门槛，楼龄达50年或以上但少于70年的私人楼宇，门槛将由8成降低至7成，而楼龄达70年或以上则降低至6成，当局将于明年下半年公布具体方案。

逾50年楼 将降至7成

早于去年提出研究放宽的旧楼强拍门槛，于今年新一份施政报告公布新进展。最新建议为楼龄达50年或以上但少于70年的私人楼宇，门槛将由8成降低至7成；而楼龄达70年或以上则降低至6成；同时，对于位于非工业用地的工厦，若其楼龄达30年或以上，强拍门槛将由8成降至7成。

消息透露，目前全港楼龄70年或以上旧楼涉1,100幢，主要分布于九龙城、深水埗及佐敦。据悉，楼龄50至70年私人住宅约8,000幢。当局预计明年下半年公布具体方案。

此外，当局会放宽相连地段强拍申请要求、精简法律程序，及透过专责办事处，为受影响小业主提供更多支援，并于今年内就方案諮询立法会及持份者。至于前述的专责办事处将会加强资讯及辅导，例如为小业主提供独立估值报告、为他们提供贷款，以减低其压力，并设搬迁支援。

业界：中半山湾仔土瓜湾受惠

业界普遍认为可加快旧区重建，有测量师称，是次放宽幅度合理，可以令发展商收购变得更容易，并预计成功放宽门槛后，首年可额外接获20至30宗强拍新申请，又料中半山、湾仔及土瓜湾等地区较受惠。

而一向积极併购旧楼的田生集团指，集团现时共有511幢旧楼进行收购，涉约436万平方呎地盘，可重建楼面约3,723万平方呎，当中40个项目收购业权已逾7成，即可符合新强拍条例要求。如以市区重建地积比8.7至9.6倍计，相关地盘总楼面涉约324.6万平方呎。

医局街旧楼获批强拍

深水埗近年有多个重建项目，其中青建国际等併购的医局街163至169号 (单号)，最新获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价为2.6亿，对比2019年3月申请强拍时市场估值约1.56亿，高出1.04亿或66.7%。

底价为2.6亿

据土地审裁处文件显示，是次获批强拍令的医局街163至169号 (单号)，该项目早于2019年由青建国际等向该处提出申请强拍，事隔约3年终于获该处批出强制售卖令，底价为2.6亿，对比2019年3月申请强拍时市场估值约1.56亿，高出1.04亿，幅度66.7%。

据青建国际年报显示，截至2021年12月底青建国际与合作方已收购该项目超过86%业权。上述项目邻近港铁深水埗及南昌站，前者步行前往约5分鐘，后者南昌站步行前往则约10分鐘，而邻近亦有多条巴士路綫行走，极具重建价值。

根据判词指出，申请人曾委託结构工程师对该旧楼进行结构评估，认为该建筑物的结构条件很差，多处地方有较深的裂缝和剥落情况，设计在多方面已经过时，无论是在物理上还是在功能上，部分设施未能符合现代安全标準和法定要求。

上址现为2幢5至6层高商住旧楼，地下共4商铺，其餘楼层为住宅，涉23个单位，楼龄均逾65年。

罗素街8号全层取消交易 马时亨长女损失订金500万

前港铁主席马时亨长女刘马露明，早前以1.1亿购入铜锣湾罗素街全层「楼上铺」自用，随后交易取消，最新市场消息透露，该宗买卖令马露明损失订金500万。

今年六月，中建富通主席麦绍棠蚀让罗素街八号19楼全层，由马露明承接，打算作为自用，经营旗下保健产品，成交价1.1亿。市场消息透露，马露明在签署正式合约之前，已决定不购入物业，因此并没有支付大订，今番损失的是少于楼价半成的细订，涉资500万。

未签署正式合约

据了解，双方早于今年5月23日签署临时买卖合约，马露明支付细订500万，双方拟定于9月18日签署正式合约，进一步付订金600万，惟她决定不买，未有签署正式合约，业主麦绍棠于9月26日，透露律师楼出信予马露明，通知她没收500万。

本报昨日联络马时亨，惟直至截稿时未联络上。早前，马时亨曾就取消交易一事回应：「由于买卖双方在细节上并未能达成共识，因而未能成功交易，但对香港仍充满信心，希望未来可以继续投资其他项目。」

物业「回归」原业主

上述物业为英皇鐘錶珠宝中心19楼全层，建筑面积约4718方呎，平均呎价23315元，刘马露明透过其担任董事的公司TM Wellness购入，作价1.1亿。业主麦绍棠早于2014年以1.49亿购入，呎价约31581元。上址现时由医务中心以约17万租用。

Luxury homes on sale as prices head south

A luxury project on Plantation Road at the Peak was launched after the policy address but the developer decided to sell instead of leasing it, as more price cuts were seen in the secondary market and the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong said it is disappointed by the address.

The seller, Fortune Hill Development, put four three-storyed houses for sale, each of which has a gross floor area of over 4,000 square feet and is equipped with a private swimming pool and a garden.

Completed 15 years ago, the units were on lease. One of them was let-out for monthly rent of HK$380,000 or HK$90 per sq ft.

Meanwhile, chairman of Reda executive committee and Wheelock Properties Stewart Leung Chi-kin said he is disappointed that the government has no plan to remove the existing stamp duties aiming to avoid local home prices to surge.

Leung added that the relaxed stamp duties will have limited impact on the sluggish property market, after the prices of second-hand homes have fallen over 10 percent so far this year.

Further price cuts in the secondary market followed.

After the policy address was announced, a homeowner of Caribbean Coast in Tung Chung sold the three-bedroom unit at HK$8 million, 7 percent cheaper than the original offer, according to a property agency.

The reduced price also brought a 3.6 percent loss as the owner bought the flat at HK$8.3 million in 2019.

On the office rental market, UBS has reportedly renewed its leases at the Two International Finance Centre at HK$18.2 million per month, a drop of nearly 30 percent, after renting 250,000 square feet of office space in the tallest tower of Sun Hung Kai Properties' (0016) West Kowloon terminus project.

铜锣湾罗素街8号英皇鐘錶珠宝中心19楼全层，早前由港铁前主席马时亨女儿马露明以1.1亿承接，随后取消交易，本报昨日率先报道她损失500万订金，该物业最新再以原价1.1亿沽售，买家为内地客。

持货8年蚀让8%

上述罗素街八号19楼全层，建筑面积约4718方呎，最新再以1.1亿易手，平均呎价23315元，市场消息指，买家为内地客，上址现时由医务中心以约17万租用，料买家租金回报率约1.85厘。该名买家活跃于铺市，早前亦购入由凯龙瑞发展的湾仔轩尼诗道333号 333 Hennessy 地铺。

该物业原业主为歌手麦浚龙父亲、中建富通主席麦绍棠，于2014年3月以1.49亿购入，持货8年帐面蚀让约3900万，若计及没收的500万订金，帐面蚀让约3400万，物业期间贬值约23%。

麦绍棠于2014年连环购入罗素街8号18及19楼，其中，18楼亦于今年8月沽出，作价1.07亿，建筑面积约4718方呎，呎价约22679元，买卖透过转让公司股份进行。该层由美容中心以每月16.5万租用，新买家料回报约1.9厘。该18楼亦于2014年初，以约1.49亿购入，持货8年，帐面亏损4150万，贬值约28%。

华润物流洽购嘉里上水货仓 涉资16亿 平均每呎4500元

今年以来工厦受追捧，市场连录大买卖，华润物流继早前以约46.2亿购入嘉里沙田及柴湾全幢货仓后，最新洽购嘉里货仓 (上水) 全幢至尾声，涉资约16亿，项目佔地近7万呎，属大型工业项目，平均呎价约4500元。

嘉里货仓 (上水) 位于上水新宝街2号，佔地69062方呎，总楼面356253方呎，另有37个车位，市场消息透露，华润物流正积极洽购中，涉资约16亿，平均呎价约4500元 (未计车位)，料短期内成事，该项目呎租10至12元，若以现时月租计算，料回报约3厘。还有，嘉里旗下的粉岭货仓，亦获财团洽购中，涉资约14亿，嘉里货仓 (粉岭) 位于安乐门街39号，佔地54197方呎，建筑面积283580方呎，平均呎价约4500元。亦有市场消息盛传，该两幢货仓已告易手，金额约30亿。本报昨日就有关消息向嘉里查询，惟直至截稿时，尚未联络得上。

料回报约3厘

华润物流早前亦向嘉里购入嘉里货仓 (沙田) 及嘉里货仓 (柴湾) 两项物业，作价分别23.3亿及22.9亿，共涉资约46.2亿。当时，嘉里则指出，考虑到新冠疫情下现行市况，集团财务状况及货仓的营运表现，董事认为出售事项为公司提供绝佳机会释放货仓价值，并认为出售不会对集团业务及营运产生重大影响。

嘉里 (沙田) 货仓位于火炭山尾街36至42号，对面为近年入伙的骏洋邨，该货仓楼高18层，总楼面约404374方呎，物业呎租约12至14元，主要为物流行业租用，作价23.3亿，呎价约5762元。

嘉里货仓 (粉岭) 14亿获洽

嘉里货仓 (柴湾) 位于柴湾嘉业街50号，楼高15层，总楼面约521253方呎，成交价22.9亿，平均呎价约4393元。数年前，嘉里物流曾计画改装柴湾货仓为大型骨灰龕场，惟城规会指，项目所在为活跃的作业海港，有货仓及工业用途，与申请人提出土地用途不协调，亦忧减少工业用地供应等，否决有关申请。

华润物流活跃于工厦市场，去年亦向邓成波家族购入屯门及粉岭工厦，涉及屯门东亚纱厂工业大厦第一期全幢，以及粉岭安乐门街35至37号勉励龙中心全幢，分别涉约22.42亿及6.95亿，合共近30亿。

西环项目申建商厦未获支持

由财团持有的西营盘石塘嘴德辅道西380号，早前曾向城规会申请重建为一幢楼高24层的商厦，今年4月遭城规会拒绝后，该财团申请覆核，最新规划署不支持有关方案，今日城规会审议时料会遭否决。

地盘面积1498呎

据城规会文件显示，上述项目现时属「住宅 (甲类) 6」地带，申请拟议办公室及商店及服务行业发展；地盘面积约1498方呎，拟议地积比15倍发展，以重建1幢楼高不多于24层 (包括3层平台) 的商厦，涉及可建总楼面22475方呎。

地积比15倍发展

最新上述方案并不获规划署支持，有关方案不符合目前划为「 住宅 (甲类)」土地用途的规划意向，申请人并未有提出任何充分理据以支持该发展计画，再者拟建商厦不应建于由住宅主导区域。

而城规会将于今日举行会议审理有关覆核，料会再次遭该会拒绝。资料显示，该项目于今年初遭城规会拒绝，而是次新方案地积比率、高度限制及总楼面面积大致上与旧方案相同。

More Fan Ling flats go on sale

Phase three of One Innovale in Fan Ling has been named One Innovale-Cabanna and the first price list for around 120 flats is expected to be unveiled today, developer Henderson Land Development (0012) said.

There are a variety of flats to choose from at One Innovale-Cabanna.

Studios account for 11.5 percent of the flats, one-bedroom units 56.5 percent, two-bedroom units 16.5 percent, three-bedroom units 6.9 percent, units with gardens 5.8 percent and special top-floor units 2.8 percent.

The project includes two residential blocks, Tower D and E, with three lifts in each block.

There are a total of 565 flats in phase three of the project with areas ranging from 158 to 1,054 square feet and about 17 to 21 flats per standard floor.

Thomas Lam Tat-man, a general manager of Henderson's sales department, believes that One Innovale-Cabanna will benefit from the government's plan to focus on the development of the Northern Metropolis and the relocation of some government headquarters to the area.

Meanwhile, Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long may announce sales of the first batch of 50 flats next week, according to Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016).

The developer said show flats opened to the public two days ago and over 1,000 people have visited them as of yesterday.

One of the show flats is a three-bedroom unit with an area of 674 square feet and mountain views.

Check collections will start on Sunday.

甲厦空置率高企，市场上租赁皆以低价承租，金鐘远东金融中心一个单位，每呎48元租出，较高峰期回落50%。

市场消息指，上述为远东金融中心中层02A室，建筑面积约2360方呎，旧租客于今年6月迁出，业主每呎叫价58元，单位交吉三个月，以每呎约48元租出，该单位属优质单位，向正电梯，望海景，属优质单位。

较高峰期回落50%

有代理表示，远东金融中心于2018年商厦高峰期时，呎租高达100元，疫市下租金显著回落。

根据一份市场报告指出，受经济增长放缓、内地及国际企业需求降温等因素影响，写字楼租金走势持续向下，甲厦租金按月跌0.5%，今年以来累积挫5.5%。整体甲厦售价录轻微跌幅，按月回落0.9%，今年以来累积跌4.2%。根据该行资料，金鐘甲厦空置率为9.1%，平均呎租42.9元。

金鐘甲厦空置率9.1%

另一代理表示，在疫市持续下，整体甲厦租金由高位大幅回落，幅度至少20%至30%，目前商业活动大为减慢，令写字楼空置率高企，相信只有待开关之后，市况才能逐渐恢復。

上月港岛甲厦空置率10.53% 代理行：连续4个月创新高

有代理行资料显示，9月份港岛整体商厦空置率录约10.53%，按月再升0.15个百分点，连续第四个月刷新历史新高。

该行认为，「0+3」入境隔离措施需时观察，但《施政报告》提及「招商引才」计画，可吸引不同创科企业进驻，对本港商厦租赁有帮助，预料港岛区甲厦受惠最大，最快年底前空置率慢慢转趋稳定。

按年升0.53个百分点

该行代理表示，据统计，9月份港岛区整体甲厦空置率录约10.53%，按年比较亦升0.53个百分点。按五大核心区分析，一綫商业区指标商厦空置率均有升幅，金鐘区空置率9.32%，按月升0.09个百分点，按年增加0.3个百分点。中环区录约9.79%，比8月急升0.7个百分点，表现欠佳，按年显著升2.15个百分点。湾仔区为五区中空置率最高，9月份录约13.19%，按月升0.46个百分点，按年增加0.07个百分点。

中环区空置率录9.79%

该代理续称，港岛二綫商业区甲厦最新空置情况轻微改善，区内租金相对相宜，不少大厦质素仍见不俗，以上环区走势最为突出，9月份该区甲厦空置率由8月约11.01%回落至最新约9.53%，跌幅1.48个百分点，按年亦减低0.08个百分点。上环指标商厦中远大厦新近一个低层07室，面积约1956方呎，获租客以呎租约43元承租，比旧呎租约60元减28%。

Brisk demand for flats in the Northern Metropolis

Market demand for new homes was robust over the weekend with Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) receiving over 500 checks for 50 flats at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long and Henderson Land's (0012) One Innovale-Cabanna in Fan Ling also oversubscribed.

The two projects in the Northern Metropolis are the first to launch sales after the policy address on Wednesday, and cheap deals for the Fan Ling flats also spurred demand.

After receiving 500 checks for the first list, SHKP released a second price list of 20 flats Park Yoho Bologna flats, keeping the prices unchanged, and adding that the show units attracted a lot of visitors on weekends.

The 20 flats range from studios to three-bedroom units with areas of 279 to 609 square feet, and are priced from HK$4.03 million to HK$8.26 million after discounts, or HK$13,043 to HK$14,510 per foot.

As the flats are ready of occupation, the project attracted prospective buyers wanting a place to move into, a property agency said.

Meanwhile, Henderson Land said its first price list of 113 flats at One Innovale-Cabanna - the third phase of One Innovale - was one time oversubscribed. It was the first new project offered for sale after the policy address, with an average price of HK$14,088 per square foot after discounts. Another agency said the project attracted a lot of buyers with prices starting as low as HK$2.76 million, the lowest among the three phases of One Innovale.

In the secondary market, an agency recorded 12 transactions at 10 major housing estates on weekends, up 33.3 percent week-on-week.

Meanwhile, in the commercial market, shop transactions slumped 38.7 percent monthly to HK$977 million in September while the number of transactions dropped for the third straight month by about 10.1 percent month-on-month to 80, according to the agency and the Land Registry.

The company says that the short-term market outlook is still affected by the border reopening arrangements and anti-pandemic measures in the mainland.

There was only one transaction worth more than HK$100 million, for the entire 26th floor of the Emperor Watch And Jewellery Centre in Causeway Bay at HK$130 million.

In other news, the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate rose to 2.95643 percent last Friday.

Building society issue drags on redevelopment

The Urban Renewal Authority has revealed there is a plan to purchase a block of flats on Kau Pui Lung Road in To Kwa Wan in early 2024.

In doing so, URA managing director Wai Chi-sing said there are several undissolved civil servants' cooperative building societies in the Kau Pui Lung Road project, which was a major challenge in the implementation of a redevelopment.

Still, he pointed out that government officials have clarified that members of the building societies do not have ownership of units.

But society members, in accordance with established government procedures, could retrieve ownership of the units and make up the land value before selling the units legally.

On that, Wai added that the URA would try to issue acquisitions to the owners of the project early in 2024, and he appealed to the members of the remaining cooperative building societies to negotiate as soon as possible and reach a resolution on the dismantling of the CBSs so they could receive compensation as owners and improve their living conditions as soon as possible when the renewal authority URA makes a takeover offer.

Of 28 CBS at Kau Pui Lung Road, nine of them remain undissolved.

After the acquisition of the project was almost done, one of the undissolved CBSs, with the assistance of the URA, completed the dispersal process.

Two CBSs have also applied for dissolution, pending the completion of legal procedures. That should be completed by the middle of next year at the earliest.

As for the remaining six CBSs, most have reached a preliminary agreement to disperse, and the URA will provide them with assistance.

西营盘物业再申重建 城规会拒批

有财团早前曾就西营盘德辅道西380号物业，再度向城规会申请以地积比率15倍，重建1幢24层高的商厦，总楼面约2.25万平方呎，但城规会昨日早上审议后，再表明拒绝批准方案。

事实上，方案曾于今年4月申请重建，遭城规会拒绝。财团其后再递交新方案，而主要发展参数，包括地积比率、高度限制及总楼面面积均与旧方案相同。不过，最新同样遭城规会拒绝批准方案。项目位于西营盘德辅道西380号，现划为「住宅 (甲类) 6」地带，地盘面积约1,498平方呎。

心光盲校建屋2改划 多数申述表支持

早于50年代建成的薄扶林道心光盲人院暨学校，早前获城规会批准作改划重建为83伙临海豪宅，而且比邻的的一幅绿化地亦获批改划为4幢港大医学院新教学大楼。城规会早前就此接获1,946份申述，大部分申述就两改划表示支持。

其中心光盲人院暨学校指，对将学校改划重建为住宅表示强烈支持，因为学校日后可以落实更长远的目标，以提供全新及经改善的设施及服务，及为视障人士提供长远，且财政稳健的教育及关怀。不过，机构认为，城规会可只向机构收取仅需向环境保护署递交的报告，以免再延迟该重建计划。

据重建方案资料，项目计划以地积比率1.9倍重建成5幢9层高住宅大楼，住用总楼面约13.2万平方呎，提供83间低密度豪宅。

邻地建医学教学楼 具协同效应

同时，就把心光盲人院暨学校旁的一幅绿化地获批改划为4幢港大医学院新教学大楼，玛丽医院表态支持，因为院方观察到社会上修读医学及护士课程的学生大幅上升，而且拟建项目可以给予下一代医护专才提供高质素的教学及研究设施，加上日后玛丽医院的病人及港大医学院学生等人可在步行距离中来往医院及拟建项目，从而产生协同效应。

而团结香港基金等机构亦对改划表示支持，主因是人口老化加速社会对医护服务的要求，及由第5波疫情可见本港正面对医院及医护人手的短缺问题，相信港大医学院可以训练更多本地的相关人才。

Henderson Land offers cheapest new flat seen in Hong Kong for over a year as property market continues to struggle

Henderson Land Development set the starting price for One Innovale-Cabanna in the Northern Metropolis, Fanling, at just HK$2.76 million

The Northern Metropolis Development is a priority project for the Hong Kong Government, aimed at providing more affordable housing

Hong Kong will see the cheapest new property launch since September 2021 at just HK$2.76 million (US$351,616), as developers fall over themselves to offer low-priced, small flats amid a prolonged downturn in home prices.

Henderson Land Development on Friday set the starting price for One Innovale-Cabanna in the Northern Metropolis, Fanling, New Territories at just HK$2.76 million for 186 sq ft of space.

“The new development has the lowest entry price after Artique in Sheung Shui in September last year at HK$2.43 million,” a property agent said. “It will be rather attractive to first-time buyers.”

The Northern Metropolis Development is a priority project for the Hong Kong Government, aimed at providing more housing and transforming the city into a more liveable and affordable metropolis.

At these lower prices, buyers can access much older flats in the secondary market.

For HK$2.6 million, one can buy a 32-year-old public housing estate unit measuring 264 sq ft at Wah Ming Estate’s Shun Ming House in Fanling, according to an online listing by the agency. For HK$2.75 million, buyers can snap up a 54-year-old flat measuring 211 sq ft in Cheong Fai Mansion, western Kowloon.

Henderson’s move comes just three days after Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value, priced the first batch of 50 flats at its new Park Yoho Bologna project in Yuen Long at HK$13,088 per square foot after discounts.

The price is 26.9 per cent lower than the HK$17,898 per square foot for the second phase of its Grand Mayfair project launched in May, according to data from the agency. Park Yoho Bologna’s starting price is HK$3.91 million for a flat measuring 279 sq ft.

As Hong Kong’s property market correction continues, the agency estimated that its market index will slide a further 5.3 per cent to reach 160 points before the end of 2022.

The index plunged by 6.9 per cent in the past 14 weeks to 168.49, back to the level of February 2018, according to data released on Friday. Goldman Sachs expects home prices in Hong Kong to plummet by 30 per cent by the end of 2023, as sharply increasing interest rates continue pressure affordability and repel investors.

The city will likely suffer a prolonged downcycle, similar to what was seen between 1999 and 2003, due to interest rate hikes, a reversal in liquidity, weakening global and regional economies, and geopolitical concerns, another agent said in mid-October.

Cumulative house prices nosedived about 50 per cent between 1999 and 2003, or about 10 per cent a year, according to the real estate services firm.

“In the worst case scenario, home prices may sink by no less than 30 per cent in the coming two to three years, compared to the peak,” the agent said. “Home prices will not return to 2003 levels, because inflation and other factors far exceed levels seen back then.”

Among 56 housing estates along major railway lines in the city tracked by the agency, nearly 90 per cent of them saw prices per square foot down in the first three quarters, with four of them dropping by more than 20 per cent.

Park Towers in Tin Hau on Hong Kong Island saw the biggest average price decline at 26 per cent from December last year to HK$21,763 per sq ft in September.

The city saw 418 loss-making housing deals in the third quarter amid a stock market slump and increased emigration, according to another agency.

At the Ultima project in Ho Man Tin, one flat measuring 1,410 sq ft changed hands in September for HK$35 million, a loss of HK$8.28 million over the four years since it was previously sold, according to the agency.

The number of foreclosed listings in the city also rose to a 13-year high of 209 in mid-October, approaching the level seen during the 2008 financial crisis, according to the agency.

本港南区豪宅新供应有限，新近终于有新供应，恒隆地产早于二零二零年向美国领事馆购入的南区寿山村道三十七号项目，昨日终于获屋宇署批建五幢洋房，料未来将打造超级豪宅。

户户全海景 每幢近万呎

据屋宇署昨日公布今年八月批出的建筑图则文件显示，上述项目获批建共五幢三层高 (在一层低层地下之上) 的独立洋房，涉及可建总楼面约四万七千二百九十七方呎，若以五幢洋房计，即平均每幢洋房面积约九千四百五十九方呎。

该项目地盘布局修长，而且该地段地势高，环境清幽及私隐度高，可重建为海景豪宅独立屋，料日后户户均可饱览深水湾景致，将会是该区近年罕有超级豪宅新供应。

有业内人士指出，虽然目前本港楼市仍受疫情及不利因素影响，近期不少豪宅项目依然有价有市，料该项目日后推出市场销售时，市场不利因素已消散，届时经济亦已復常，对内及对外已通关；再者，该项目可享深水湾一带景致，料届时推出市场销售时，可吸引不少人士追捧。

有测量师表示，由于本港超级豪宅项目一向销售速度缓慢，惟豪宅项目买家一向实力雄厚，只要遇到合心意的项目便会果断入市。该项目现获重建为五幢超级豪宅，料日后落成后每呎可售九万五千元以上。

恒隆两年前25.66亿投得

资料显示，恒隆地产早于二零二零年九月斥资二十五亿六千六百万投得、美国政府推出招标出售的南区寿山村道三十七号豪宅地，当时每方呎楼面地价约五万二千元，属低于市场估值。当年寿山村道地皮亦成为该集团约二十年来首幅购入的本港住宅地。

该用地原为美国驻港领事馆宿舍，设有六幢低密度住宅物业，提供二十六个单位及五十二个车位，物业于一九八三年落成，另设室外游泳池。由于该地并非一般的商业物业，当时交易牵涉中国及美国之间外交事务，按照中央人民政府规定，根据对等原则和中方相关房地产管理要求，美国驻港总领事馆就物业买卖租赁等，美国政府应提前六十天，经外交部驻港特派员公署向中央人民政府提出申请，提供详细资讯，以取得中央人民政府书面许可。故有关交易延至去年二月完成。

据恒隆年报显示，南区寿山村道三十七号的地皮收购项目已于二○二一年二月完成。该地皮将被重建成多间豪华大宅，预计于二零二四年落成。

永新工业大厦位处荔枝角道850至870号，楼龄约45年，具重建价值，该厦佔地面积约1.51万方呎，今年初向城规申请，拟将地积比率由12倍增至14.4倍，以重建1幢26层高 (包括4层地库) 的商厦，作为写字楼、食肆、商店及服务行业用途，总楼面涉约21.5万方呎。同时，申请人拟为重建项目，于长茂街和荔枝角道自愿实施3.5米的楼宇后移，扩阔道路 (行人道)，给予行人有更多的空间。

平均呎价5600元

黑石基金近年曾先后购入多幢工厦，去年斥资5.08亿，向英皇购入鸿图道处82号全幢工厦，总楼面面积约8.95万方呎，平均呎价约5676元；去年7月亦以约2.83亿，购入粉岭业畅街13号的一幢5层高工业大厦，佔地约12895方呎，总面积约为63897方呎。

黑石集团属美国私募基金巨头，市况波动下仍然成功筹巨资，早前，该集团在监管文件中表示，已经完成其主力房产基金最新版本 Blackstone Real Estate Partners X 的总计241亿美元募集。

接连购观塘粉岭工厦

黑石集团将拥有超过500亿美元资金池，来进行机会主义投资，该类投资往往是风险较高的交易，同时具有较高回报的潜力。

该集团之前的纪录是在2019年筹集260亿美元收购基金。

今年以来工厦买卖活跃，其中，包括华润物流早前以约46.2亿购入嘉里沙田及柴湾全幢货仓，最新洽购嘉里货仓 (上水) 全幢至尾声，涉资约16亿，项目佔地近7万呎，属大型工业项目，平均呎价约4500元。

嘉里货仓 (上水) 位于上水新宝街2号，佔地69062方呎，总楼面356253方呎，另有37个车位，由华润物流正积极洽购中，涉资约16亿，平均呎价约4500元 (未计车位)，料短期内成事，该项目呎租10至12元，若以现时月租计算，料回报约3厘。

财团疫市变阵酒店改装住宅 旅客近绝迹 业界指「自救」求突破

在疫情及封关措施影响下，访港旅客近乎绝迹，重创本港旅游及酒店业，部分财团率先「变阵」改划旗下项目作住宅发展。本报统计显示，最少有7个酒店项目重建或全幢改装为住宅，部分更已成功通过改划，未来至少提供逾4800个住宅单位。

近期有不少财团将旗下酒店转为住宅发展，本报统计显示，2020年至今最少有7个酒店项目改划住宅发展，涉约4823伙，部分项目已成功获城规会批准发展。

嘉湖海逸改装需补地价

最瞩目为长实旗下3酒店申请改划作住宅发展，涉约3363伙，当中天水围嘉湖海逸酒店，今年6月再向城规会递交新发展方案，计画改装整幢酒店，以提供1102伙住宅单位，该发展方案早前已获城规会「开绿灯」通过，若日后落实发展住宅项目需要进行补地价程序。

嘉湖海逸酒店改建将现时第1及2座进行全幢改装，以及将酒店地下及一楼改作商业用途，而现有平台的商业用途 (置富嘉湖第一及二期) 则予以保留。上述项目地盘面积约30万方呎，当中住宅楼面约59.92万方呎，非住宅楼面则佔约56.4万方呎，即整个项目可建总楼面约116.32万方呎，另提供约945个车位。

长实早前亦就红磡海韵轩海景酒店向城规会申请全幢改装，以提供约1503个住宅单位及约442个酒店房间，当中酒店房间数目对比现时的1980个，大幅减少约78%。该公司旗下马鞍山海澄轩海景酒店，于2020年向城规会申请改划作住宅发展获同意。

帝景改装已获城规通过

另外，新地旗下荃湾汀九帝景酒店，去年6月曾向城规会申请改装住宅发展，以提供661伙，该发展计画于今年6月获城规会通过发展。

由资本策略等持有位于佐敦的香港九龙诺富特酒店，早前亦申请重建1幢28层高的综合大楼，以提供285伙住宅。据资本策略年报显示，该酒店已于2021年9月开展重建计画。

上环宜必思香港中上环酒店、早前曾向城规会申请重建住宅提供284个单位，今年6月亦获城规会在有附带条件下批准。

「0+3」检疫措施加速改划变用途

政府放宽入境检疫安排为「0+3」，即旅客毋须再在酒店接受隔离检疫，直接影响酒店业的生意，预期不少酒店为寻求出路，会加速改划住宅发展。

近年香港酒店业面对不少困难，有业界人士指出，「0+3」的新安排对业界未必是好消息，由于毋须再在酒店接受隔离检疫，意味检疫酒店将会重返市场，惟目前本地需求不大，而且「0+3」对旅客吸引力亦不大，预期新安排下酒店业生意不会太好，而且在新政策下，可能有较多港人选择外游，预料本港酒店入住率会下跌，生意亦受影响，不排除有财团看淡未来酒店业发展前景，加速变阵将酒店改划住宅发展。

现申请改划获批机会大增

有测量师表示，疫情持续约3年，本港商业及旅客业受重挫，而且政府将隔离政策放宽至「0+3」，入境旅客免除酒店检疫要求，只需接受3天的家居隔离监察，令隔离酒店入住率大跌，不少财团看淡酒店业前景，而且目前酒店需求下跌的情况下，申请改划获城规会批准的机会亦大增，加上近年房屋供应短缺，故吸引财团积极改划旗下酒店项目作住宅发展。

另一测量师指出，疫情持续影响下，目前本港整体商业市场疲弱，当中酒店业更大受打击，整体市道仍然未有起色，而且「0+3」下，入境旅客免除酒店检疫要求，亦影响酒店业的入住率，导致近期有不少酒店纷纷改划作住宅发展。

代理又说，该物业地铺面向英皇道部分，可分间作餐饮或零售，预期呎租70至80元，地下后半部提供另一个出入口，可加设楼梯及升降机连接1楼作餐厅、教育或医疗中心等用途，预期呎租35至40元，预期总月租约90万至100万，料回报逾4厘。

湾仔翘贤商业大厦 合全层用家

翘贤商业大厦位于湾仔骆克道，属传统商业地段，而物业全层面积细小，故适合全层用家。

翘贤商业大厦位于湾仔骆克道361至363号，属区内乙级商厦，交通方面，步行约5至7分鐘即可到达港铁铜锣湾站，附近设有的士、巴士及小巴站，方便前往港九新界，因邻近红隧入口，交通便利。

饮食配套上，邻近有不少茶餐厅及食肆，若赶时间，可到楼下24小时便利店购买小食。上班族亦可以选择步行5至10分鐘到附近较大型的商场，铜锣湾广场一期和铜锣湾广场二期，以及时代广场内，亦有大量食肆可供选择。另外，同地段有去年落成的全新酒店「The Hari Hong Kong」，商务午餐选择甚多。

大厦位于传统商厦区，邻近有不少商厦，例如浙江兴业大厦、金威商业大厦、恆泽商业大厦、荣华商业大厦等，商业气氛浓厚。

楼高22层 每层1123呎

物业于1992年落成，楼龄约30年，楼高22层，每层面积约1,123平方呎，主要用作办公室用途，有2部载客电梯，可有效疏导人流，另提供独立冷气系统调节室内空气，有助室内空气流通。

Hang Lung gets green light for Shouson Hill mansions

A plan by Hang Lung Properties (0101) to build five luxury homes on a residential site at Shouson Hill previously owned by the US Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau has been approved by the Buildings Department.

The developer bought the six multi-story villas on 37 Shouson Hill Road from the US Consulate in 2020 for HK$2.56 billion or HK$54,000 per square foot.

At the time, Hang Lung said it expected to invest about HK$4 billion to build several detached homes at the site, expected to be completed in 2024.

The property has now been approved to be redeveloped into five luxury mansions with a total area of about 47,298 sq ft.

Each home will have three stories and an underground basement, with an average floor area of 9,459 sq ft.

The site was purchased by the US government in 1948 and was used as residences for staff at the consulate. The cluster of six low-rise buildings comprised 26 apartments, 52 car park spaces and an outdoor pool.

Hang Lung won the bid for the property in September 2020, but Chinese government blocked the sale in December, saying the US consulate had failed to seek its permission, before clearing the transfer in February 2021.

Apart from the Shouson Hill development, the Buildings Department approved 23 plans in August including 15 for apartment and commercial developments, three for factory and industrial developments, and five community services developments.

Among these, a site at 37 Shanghai Street in Jordan owned by New World Development (0017) has been approved for reconstruction as a 22-story residential and commercial building with residential and commercial areas of about 13,021 sq ft and 2,287 sq ft respectively.

In other news, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it will put 66 flats at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long on sale this Thursday.

Of these, 60 will be offered on the price list and six will be sold via tender. The cheapest flat is priced at HK$3.91 million, or HK$14,010 per sq ft, with an area of 279 sq ft.

The project, located at 18 Castle Peak Road offers 164 flats with areas of 257 to 1,155 sq ft.

Meanwhile, the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate rose to a 14-year high of 3.01685 percent yesterday.

近年鰂鱼涌、太古一带的旧楼及工厦逐步重建为商厦，其中位于临海位置的鰂鱼涌海裕街用地，将会建成一排商厦及酒店群。初步估计，区内的重建项目将提供约464万平方呎商业楼面，进一步稳固港岛东商业区的地位。

以往鰂鱼涌属于住宅及工业为主的社区，不过，随着区内的大地主太古地产  (01972) 陆续将区内厂房、工厦重建成为太古坊的商厦群，逐渐变成第2个商业延伸区。发展商亦看準商机，陆续为区内工厦及旧楼开展重建工程，加快地区转型。据粗略统计，现时区内至少有3个正在进行的工商业重建项目，共涉约216.2万平方呎的商业楼面供应。

海裕街地盘标售 市值约40亿

原由太平协和所持有的鰂鱼涌海裕街地盘，于今年年中招标放售，可重建的商业楼面涉约40万平方呎。项目去年3月获通过有关原址换地申请，拟换地后的地盘面积或可达91,838平方呎，经补地价后，或可提供建筑面积约40万平方呎楼面，兴建5幢34米至41米 (主水平基準以上) 的建筑物，作为酒店和办公室用途，并设4.1万平方呎的观景平台。据了解，项目的市值约40亿元，每呎楼面地价约1万元，但日后转作商厦用途需补地价。

值得留意的是，早在2000年代初曾经有意将用地建为一个名为「老香港」的怀旧主题公园及商业旅游项目，直至近年，发展商才同意原址换地。而项目以曾于2019年获批准兴建建1幢商厦、4幢酒店，提供400间客房，总楼面约40万方呎。

滨海街旧楼获批建商住大厦

另外，恒地 (00012) 及太古旗下的鰂鱼涌滨海街16至94号及英皇道983至987A号旧楼，于今年3月份获屋宇署批建2幢28层高 (另设3层平台及2层地库) 的商住大厦，并设有住户康乐设施，涉及的住用总楼面约36.83万平方呎，而非住用楼面则涉约7.24万平方呎。

至于太古地产收购逾10年的鰂鱼涌仁孚工业大厦，亦于今年年初获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价为约50.526亿元，属于强拍条例于1999年生效以来，涉及底价最贵的强拍。事实上，集团花逾10年的收购，并于2018年已经就项目及比邻的船坞里8号华厦工业大厦申请强拍。发展商表示，若最终成功投得上述两项目，将计划重建为办公楼及其他商业用途，涉及总楼面约77.9万平方呎。

港岛东甲厦吸纳量 止跌回升

有外资代理行近日发表2022年第三季写字楼及商铺租赁市场回顾及展望报告指，第三季甲级写字楼吸纳量受港岛东新落成甲厦预租成交带动，而止跌回升。

甲厦呎租按季升0.7%

据报告指出，第三季整体净吸纳量主要受新落成甲厦预租面积所带动，录得正18.3万平方呎，季度内有新甲厦落成的地区如港岛东、港岛南及九龙东均见净吸纳量回升，当中港岛东吸纳量录34.78万平方呎，属于季内最多。

至于，港岛东甲级商厦的呎租季内为46元，按季升0.7% (计入新供应后)，年初至今已经下跌3.2%。

该行又预计，最新「0+3」入境检疫安排未能即时吸引大量旅客访港，反而刺激港人外游，故短期内对本地零售活动构成压力。

凯施饼店标售观塘厂房

近期传财困的凯施饼店加快沽货，据悉该集团已委託测量师行，标售位于观塘伟业街厂房总部，两项工厦涉近13万平方呎，市值约8亿元。

两工厦涉近13万呎 市值8亿

市场消息指，有外资测量师行近日获委託出售观塘两工厦物业，分别为观塘伟业街155号建邦工业大厦全幢，以及比邻的伟业街157至159号南华工业大厦约88.9%不可分割业权份数，项目将于11月底截标。

两项物业合共地盘约17,280平方呎，现时总楼面分别为4.8万及7.8万平方呎，合共约12.6万平方呎，受惠活化工厦政策，最高可建面积为248,832平方呎，据悉物业市值约8亿元，每呎楼地价约3,215元。

据了解，该物业由凯施饼店或有关人士持有，集团多年来分阶段购入楼面，作为集团总部及厂房。事实上，近月凯施饼店传出财困，捲入欠薪及分店欠租等，而集团加快推售物业，是次推出的厂房属集团持有最贵重的单一物业。同时间，消息指该集团亦连环推出铺位放售，分布于大围、观塘及荃湾等，沽货以套现资金。

市建局西营盘项目突招标 「一口价」定胜负 卖楼达35亿固定分红40%

港岛区住宅地皮新供应渴市，市建局昨突公布推出皇后大道西/贤居里发展项目招标，消息指，发展商需自行提出「一口价」，以价高者得决胜负，日后卖楼收益达35亿便须与市建局分红，固定分红40%。该项目综合市场估值，上述地皮估值介乎约15亿至16亿，每方呎估值约1.23万至1.32万，料发展商出价较为审慎及保守。

该局西营盘皇后大道西/贤居里发展项目，挟港岛「靚地」及铁路沿綫住宅的优势，昨日正式招标，其招标条款随即曝光，市场消息指出，项目售楼收益达35亿，中标财团便须与市建局分红，固定分红40%，若以项目总楼面约12.15万方呎计，相当于每方呎售价约2.88万便需要分红，对比今年8月批出的崇庆里 / 桂香街发展项目当时每方呎售价逾3.16万便需要分红为少。

估值约15至16亿

另外，发展商亦需向市建局自行提出「一口价」建议，将成为胜负的关键。该项目设有限呎条款，住宅单位面积不得少于300方呎，同时规定至少一半的单位面积不可超过480方呎。

该项目于上月底完成招收意向书程序，合共接获33份意向书，该局昨日正式邀请32家发展商及财团入标竞投，即有1家不获邀请，项目将于11月24日截标。市建局指出，招标遴选小组将评审收到的标书，并于稍后就批出本发展项目的发展向市建局董事会提交建议，由董事会作最终决定。

设限呎条款

上述项目位于皇后大道西129至151号 (单数)，邻近港铁西营盘站，步行前往约其中一个出口约3分鐘步行程。市建局于2018年3月展开上述项目，并于2019年8月以实用面积每方呎24051元向小业主提出收购价建议。项目地盘面积约16864方呎，可建总楼面约121526方呎。

据招标条款显示，成功取得本项目的发展商，须按发展协议中列明的标準与品质、可持续发展和智能系统等要求兴建新发展项目，以为港岛中西区提供一个优质的生活环境。另外，现时的贤居里垃圾收集站、公厕及公眾休憩用地将会作原地重置及融入在未来的发展项目内，其可用性亦会相应地提升。

业界料财团出价审慎

有测量师指出，上述项目属市区罕有新供应，惟近日股票市场出现「小股灾」，下月首3周均已有不同的卖地表地皮截标，料财团出价会参考该批地皮标价而作出调整，料财团出价审慎及保守。

另一测量师表示，该项目位处市区，惟近日股票市场表现较差，料发展商出价较为审慎及保守，估计可吸引10份标书。

32 developers invited for Sai Ying Pun project bids

The Urban Renewal Authority has invited 32 developers to tender for the Queen's Road West/In Ku Lane Development project in Sai Ying Pun, after it received 33 expressions of interest last month.

Lan Kwai Fong Properties, founded by the "father of Lan Kwai Fong" Allan Zeman, also showed interest in the project but it was not clear whether the developer was invited to tender. If so, it would be the first time it has made a bid for a property project.

The development, which covers a site area of 1,566 square meters, was first announced in March 2018. Upon completion, it is planned to provide a total gross floor area of 11,290 sq m.

Market valuations for the site range from HK$1.5 billion to HK$1.7 billion - or from about HK$12,300 to HK$14,000 per square foot.

The project aims to rationalize the land use and layout in the area by replanning the public open space to improve the connectivity, accessibility and built environment.

Tender submissions will close at noon on November 24.

In the primary market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it has collected more than 1,500 checks for the 60 units to be sold tomorrow at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long, meaning they are 24 times oversubscribed.

Two days later, its project with CK Asset (1113) - Grand Jeté phase 1 in Tuen Mun - will also see a new round of sales, offering 80 units. They include 70 flats on price lists and 10 penthouses for tender.

On Saturday, 118 flats at One Innovale-Cabanna in Fan Ling will be put up for sale, developer Henderson Land Development (0012) said. The second price list was unveiled yesterday together with the sales arrangement, which provides 57 flats at an average square-foot price of HK$14,208 after discounts.

The batch, which includes homes from 224 to 683 sq ft, is priced at between HK$3.31 million and HK$9.36 million, or between HK$13,398 and HK$15,469 per sq ft after discounts.

Henderson said it has attracted 770 checks for the project, an oversubscription of nearly six times compared to the 113 units in the first batch.

In Tseung Kwan O, homes at LP10, developed by Nan Fung Group and MTR Corporation (0066), are ready for delivery after the government granted consent to assign, Nan Fung said. It will launch sales of the remaining 11 percent unsold units at the completed project in due course.

原租中环置地广场 搬迁省租金

不少律师楼迁往港岛东，消息指，鰂鱼涌港岛东中心逾7千呎楼面，获律师楼租用，呎租约50餘元，该行原租用中环商厦。

市场消息称，鰂鱼涌港岛东中心录得租务成交，涉及物业高层，面积约7,600平方呎，以每平方呎约50元租出，属市价水平。据了解，新租客为一家律师楼，原租用中环置地广场-公爵大厦高层单位，按现时物业呎租约100餘元计，相信搬迁可节省一半租金。

财汇局租太古坊二座 扩充兼升级

近年太古坊商厦吸纳多个行业进驻，而以往办公室集中于中环的律师楼，亦陆续于港岛东出现，如大型美资律师楼Baker & McKenzie，2018年预租太古坊一座多层，成为该厦大租客之一。

港岛东新商厦吸引租客搬迁，消息指，今年落成的太古坊二座录得全层租务，涉及约3万呎，获租客以每平方呎约55餘元预租。据悉，新租客为半官方机构「会计及财务滙报局」，原租湾仔合和中心，现升级及扩充。据悉，太古坊二座已获入伙纸，而物业出租情况不错，已预租逾5成楼面，包括银行、顾问公司等。

另商厦租务方面，消息称，上环信德中心招商局大厦高层09室，面积约1,912平方呎，以每呎约55元租出，属近期较理想水平，而同厦信德中心西座中层04室，面积约1,402平方呎，以每呎约34元租出。另湾仔北鹰君中心中高层10至11室，面积约3,720平方呎，成交呎租约48元。

有外资代理行发布最新的市场报告指，随着愈来愈多的中小型公司以较低的租金水平在非核心区域租用写字楼，非核心区域的写字楼空置率在9月份轻微下跌，以北角为例，空置率由8月的12.5%降至9月的11.6%。至于上环的空置率则由8月的8.2%跌至9月的7.7%。

建议再放宽入境检疫

不过，由于中环未来的写字楼供应充足，将增加业主在短期内减租的压力，因此该行预计2022年第四季写字楼租金将在持续向下。

该行指出，「0+3」检疫措施公布后，整体商业信心正在改善。虽然尚未完全通关，但香港已经开始接受商务旅客，企业对进一步放宽社交距离限制，及取消所有检疫要求抱有希望，并相信政府再放宽入境及检疫要求，香港的经济活动才会显著復甦。

住宅方面，该行认为，市场担忧加息，买家和业主普遍持观望态度，9月份一手及二手住宅成交量分别按月下跌8.2%及5.2%。由于有部分业主急于卖楼套现，因此相信楼价仍然面临压力。

零售物业市面，该行指仍然疲软。8月份零售总销售额继续表现欠佳，按年下跌0.1%，达至286亿元。

外资「吼位」大手购商厦豪宅

在疫情持续下，经济处低迷状况，写字楼空置率创历来新高；豪宅买卖更大不如前，不过，近期市场连环录大刁，外资基金「吼位」大手购商厦豪宅，令市场人士嘖嘖称奇。

有人辞官归故里，有人漏夜赶科场，发展商大手沽货套现，为锁定利润及保存实力，寻找更佳投资机会，近期市场录2宗大型买卖，半山超级豪宅及长沙湾地标甲厦，涉资分别208亿及31亿，买家都是「过江龙」，由两家来自新加坡的基金承接。

有代理形容，在淡风下，近期见聪明钱「偷步」来港扫货，显示对于外资来说，本港甲厦及豪宅价格跌至吸引价水平。事实上，若不是淡市，相信卖家不会轻易沽货，甲厦市场尤其冰封，租客撤出的多，进驻承租少，令市场处于负吸纳量，整体空置率高达14%，未来两年空置量多达2000万，然而，见惯风浪的投资者表示，市场转变可以很迅速，回顾过往，其实，市况炽热时间多，淡市时间较远，大家还是要好好利用「淡市」，沽货的为寻找机会，买货则是把握机会。

代理行：非核心商厦空置微跌

另有代理指出，随着愈来愈多中小型公司，以较低租金在非核心区承租写字楼，非核心区写字楼空置率在9月份微跌，九龙区租户则倾向以优惠租金续租。

该行指出，由于市场低迷，大企业平租核心区写字楼，追求高质素趋势持续。中环长江集团中心二期及 The Henderson 正接受预租，已获得不少準租户青睞。

股市波动，经济前景亦不明朗，市场上银主盘骤增，湾仔指标商厦英皇集团中心刚录一宗银主盘成交，平均呎价1万，低市价30%，不过，物业于13年间仍升值25%。

银主盘作价1582万

市场消息透露，上址为英皇集团中心中层04室，建筑面积约1582方呎，成交价约1582万，平均呎价仅1万，上述物业属「海啸货」，业主于2009年11月购入单位自用，当时呎价8000元，涉资1265.6万，直至2015年将单位租出，及至2019年6月，以单位抵押借取二按，同年12月借取三按，最终沦为银主盘。市传由英皇集团购入，本报昨日致电英皇，发言人表示不作回应。

工商铺录1032宗登记 代理行：按季跌23%

工商铺市道持续低迷，有代理表示，今年9月全港共录303宗工商铺买卖，较8月的367宗跌17%，创28个月以来新低，险守300宗关口，月内总值37.21亿，按月急挫94%，主因前月有3宗共527.39亿份属内部转让巨额登记，倘撇除相关登记后，月内实际登记总值跌幅约23%。

创近9季新低

该代理指，第三季为今年最淡一季，季内工商铺共录1032宗登记，较第二季的1334宗跌近23%，创自2020年第三季以来9季新低。该代理相信，《施政报告》锐意抢企业、抢人才，加上疫情受控，通关条件可望陆续放宽，势必利好经济，期待年底前买卖止跌回稳。

工厦按月登记量跌幅相对较少，按月交投佔总体比率进一步升至近57%。9月全月工厦共录172宗登记，按月跌13%，月内总额相应减少17%，录17.33亿。

商厦买卖连跌4个月

当中以细价工厦较活跃，银码介乎200万至500万录72宗，惟按月跌9%；500万至1000万以内者则逆市升7%，月内录45宗登记。

商厦买卖连跌4个月，并创近半年新低，9月份商厦买卖登记只有52宗，按月再挫26%，为三类物业中跌幅最大者。当中登记量跌幅集中在细价商厦，其中200万以下者，9月份大减70%至只有3宗登记；200万至500万以内者亦跌41%至17宗，反映细价商厦交投转慢。

信和等23.88亿夺土瓜湾项目 楼面呎价8571元 地价7个月跌24%

市建局于土瓜湾第四个以「小区模式」发展的荣光街 / 崇安街发展项目，由信和与招商局置地合组的财团以23.88亿，力压其餘六组财团投得，平均每方呎楼面地价8571元，若与今年3月由长实投得的同区发展项目，平均每方呎楼面地价约11382元比较，短短约7个月该区每呎地价下跌逾24%。

信和副主席黄永光表示，非常高兴与招商局置地合作投得上述优质临海用地，又指项目位置优越，拥有维港景致，加上交通四通八达，为公司土地储备增添一幅上佳地皮，将兴建优质住宅项目。

黄永光：将兴建优质住宅

信和表示，项目毗邻港铁土瓜湾站，三站直达会展站，随着屯马綫开通，接通新界东西、九龙东及城中主要商业中心，又指多项大型基建相继开通，为区内注入新动力，而地区蜕变蓬勃发展，项目落成后会与区内发展产生协同效应。

该项目本月初截标，合共接获7份标书，入标财团包括长实、新地、恒基、会德丰地产、英皇及鹰君等，结果由信和及招商局置地合组的财团以23.88亿投得，平均每方呎楼面地价8571元。

伙拍招商局置地投得

值得留意的是，今年3月长实斥资59.96亿，投得同区鸿福街、啟明街及荣光街四个重建项目的合併发展，当时平均每方呎楼面地价约11382元，若与信和及招商局置地是次投得的项目比较，意味该区每呎地价于短短约7个月下跌24.7%。

荣光街 / 崇安街发展项目，位于银汉街44至54A号 (双数) 及荣光街72至118号 (双数)，邻近港铁土瓜湾站，步行前往约5至6分鐘。该项目地盘面积约3.1万方呎，可建总楼面面积约27.86万方呎，发展规模是目前已推出项目中最细，估计可以提供约560伙。

售楼达60亿须与市建局分红

早前市场有消息指出，项目售楼收益达60亿后，中标财团须与市建局分红，达标后首1亿须分红两成，其后分红比例以每1亿为一组递增，当收入达63亿以上，分红划一为50%，若以项目总楼面约27.86万方呎计，相当于每方呎售价逾2.15万便须要分红，而且发展商亦须向市建局自行提出「一口价」建议。

至于商场部分，由市建局及中标财团共同持有，租金收益由中标财团和市建局以「七三」比例瓜分，租金收入中标财团佔七成，其餘三成收益则归市建局。发展商可以向市建局要求出售非住宅部分，但须获市建局首肯。另外，该项目设有限呎条款，住宅单位面积不得少于300方呎，同时规定最少一半的单位面积不可超过480方呎。

长沙湾栢裕工厦两全层易手 作价9800万 Storhub迷你仓增持

来自新加坡的Storhub迷你仓，今年以来连环购入长沙湾栢裕工业中心，最新增持该厦2全层单位，作价9800万，平均呎价5160元，为今年以来第三次出手购入该厦迷你仓，目前持有同厦约75%业权。

上址为长沙湾长裕街18号栢裕工业中心7、8楼全层连两个车位，每层建筑面积各9487方呎，合共18994方呎，以易手价9800万计算，平均呎价5160元。该2层连租约易手，其中7楼以全层形式租出，8楼则分间19个单位，料回报逾3厘。

平均呎价5160元

据了解，原业主为长情业主，早于1977年购入该2层单位，作价292万，持货约45年，帐面获利9508万元，物业升值逾32倍。

月前，Storhub迷你仓亦购入该厦2楼A至D室全层，建筑面积12493方呎，以成交价6627万计算，平均呎价5304元，上址A及B单位由原业主自用，C及D单位连租约，月租7.5万，租期至明年9月。

据悉，原业主于1989年8月以2053.866万购入一篮子单位，料今番沽售获利可观。

45年升值逾32倍

Storhub早于今年初斥资3.5亿，向「铺王」邓成波家族购入上述的栢裕工业中心约50%业权，包括地厂、低层地下 (LOWER GROUND FLOOR)、1、3、9、10、11楼连6个车位，总建筑面积合共68779方呎，平均呎价5089元。

今年暂斥10.46亿扫工厦

若连同今次所购入的7楼及8楼，STORHUB已斥资约5.14亿购入该厦，最新持有该厦逾75%业权，目前只餘下3层楼面尚未被收购。

StorHub于2003年在新加坡设立迷你仓，现在成为该国最大营运商，并拥有13个迷你仓，随后扩展至亚洲区，于2012年进驻上海，现时在中国管理13个迷你仓。自2021年起，扩展至日本、韩国及马来西亚，现时于香港亦拥有至少5个迷你仓。

该集团分别于今年2月，购入红磡义达工业大厦及新蒲岗百胜工厂大厦，作价各为3.5亿及1.82亿，今年以来合共以逾10.46亿扫入工厦。
