政府放宽隔离检疫政策后，增加商务人士来港意慾，间接利好写字楼买卖活动。

上环信德中心连接着港澳码头，对于不少企业需穿梭中港澳来说十分便捷，加上上环区写字楼造价对比中区相宜，单位面积选择多，因而成为不少中外企业进驻的商厦，物业升值潜力更大。而位处上环信德中心招商局大厦中层，现以公开招标形式放售，意向价约1.4亿元。

有代理表示，业主委託以公开招标形式放售，为上环干诺道中168号信德中心招商局大厦 17楼12至16室，建筑面积合共约6,223平方呎，意向价约1.4亿元，平均每呎叫价约22,497元，截标日期为10月31日。项目属上环区内罕有大楼面单位，同时为港岛区知名甲级海景商厦，而标售的单位更可享有开扬维港景致，份外耀眼。至于物业会以交吉形式放售，部分楼面附有整齐装修及来去水位，可即买即用。

上环区罕有大楼面 眺望维港景

信德中心位于上环干诺道中168至200号，由信德中心有限公司发展，于1986年落成，区分作东、西翼2座大厦组成，其中东翼早年由酒店改建为商厦，现名为招商局大厦，楼高42层，每层楼面面积逾25,000平方呎，单位面积介乎700餘至25,000餘平方呎不等，单位间隔四正，当中大部份单位可享维港海景，其餘以眺望中、上环一带城市景为主。而基座为信德中心商场，设有不少食肆及商店。

据资料显示，信德中心招商局大厦成交以租务为主，反映出业主甚为惜售，同时物业回报吸引，而市场新近录得信德中心招商局大厦中层05室，面积约1,267平方呎，以每平方呎约51元租出，月租约65,000元。

邻近新海滨地 前景看俏

另一代理表示，信德中心招商局大厦位于港铁上环站上盖，附近又设有电车及多綫巴士路綫，交通便利，地理位置优越。而信德中心设有大型停车场和商场，配套一应俱全。而今次放售项目邻近中环民耀街新海滨3号的商业地王，平均地价约3.1万元，预料今番出售物业升值潜力极为优厚，相信招标物业对用家更具吸引力，不论自用或投资都相当有潜力，预料项目洽购反应会见理想。

远展逾20亿 放售油麻地湾仔酒店

今年酒店买卖表现不俗，发展商趁机放盘。消息指，远东发展 (00035) 旗下酒店集团，放售油麻地及湾仔酒店，合共涉逾20亿元。

海景丝丽酒店 市值11亿

市场人士指，远东发展旗下帝盛酒店集团，委託测量师行放售两项酒店。其中海景丝丽酒店，位于油麻地上海街268号，邻近骏发花园，距离油麻地港铁站仅数分鐘步程，因位于油尖旺核心地段，地点颇理想。

该酒店于1993年落成，地盘面积约5,402平方呎，总楼面约67,826平方呎，项目楼高20层，2至18楼为客房，每层提供约12至16间房，提供268间房。因疫情关係，物业现时作检疫酒店用途。据悉，物业市值约11亿元，平均每房价值约410万元。

另一幢放售物业为湾仔皇后大道东至377号香港丽悦酒店，位置上略为偏离湾仔核心地段。物业于1997年落成，地盘面积约4,093平方呎，总楼面约61,136平方呎，物业楼高29层，设有两层商铺，3至19楼为客房，合共提供142间房，现时亦作检疫酒店之用。物业市值约10亿元，每房价值约704万元，两项酒店合共涉约21亿元。

疫情冲击下，本港长达两年多零游客，酒店自然最受冲击物业。不过，近一年市场录得多宗大额酒店买卖，新买家趁低价购入酒店，改装成共居，作长綫收租。

领展7.7亿夺安达臣道首幅商地

每呎楼面地价5501元 发展社区商业设施

领展 (00823) 击退4组财团，成功以7.66亿元，夺前观塘安达臣道石矿场首幅商业地，每平方呎楼面地价约5,501元，符合市场预期。集团表示，日后将会发展为社区商业设施。

领展行政总裁王国龙称，集团将可持续发展标準融入项目中，并为区内居民营造一个理想的租户组合，藉以满足消费者不断演变的需求。该区未来数年将有多个公共发展项目及资助房屋屋苑落成，集团拟将该用地发展为社区商业设施 (包括零售设施、鲜活街市及停车场)，以满足区内将逾3万人人口的日常所需。

接有盖天桥 连接旗下秀茂坪商场

项目亦将与运输交滙处，及政府将兴建的有盖行人天桥和电梯相连，并将连接领展旗下秀茂坪商场及区内其他住宅群，方便居民乘搭公共交通工具。有测量师指，由于项目位处民生区，相信是次由具丰富屋邨商场营运经验的领展投得，对项目发展有利。

该地比邻观塘安达邨，佔地约6.3万平方呎，总楼面面积约13.9万平方呎，于上周五（26日）截标，共接获5份标书，包括：信置  (00083) 、新地 (00016) 、领展、长实 (01113) 及华懋。地皮估值约5.6亿至10亿元，每呎楼面地价约4,000至7,200元，反映成交价属市场预期之内。

事实上，领展在观塘持有多个商业及屋邨商场项目，包括海滨道77号海滨滙的写字楼项目、邻近是次成交地皮的宝达商场、顺利商场、秀茂坪商场、晓丽商场等，可见集团是次进一步扩大区内势力。

至于领展对上一次投得商业项目要数到2016年2月，集团当时以59.1亿元夺得旺角弥敦道700号项目，并已发展为「T.O.P This is Our Place」。至于上述同区的海滨滙则同由领展伙拍南丰于2015年以58.6元夺得。近期领展亦颇踊跃参与竞投商业地，包括西九文化区艺术广场大楼、铜锣湾加路连山道商业用地等。

荃湾愉景新城商场 中资60亿洽购

新世界放售非核心物业 或成今年最大额买卖

发展商加快推非核心物业，早前传出新世界 (00017) 放售非核心物业，消息指旗下荃湾愉景新城商场获中资洽购，估计涉资近60亿元。该商场总楼面达64万平方呎，若最终落实，将成今年最大额物业买卖。

较早前市场传出，新世界正暗盘放售数项非核心物业，其中价值最高为荃湾D‧PARK愉景新城。业内人士称，该项目获发展商、外资、内房，甚至本地房地产基金等视察及研究，由于项目具规模，加上荃湾消费人口持续上升，故获财团出价洽购。

新世界暂未回应交易

据悉，当中以一家中资最为积极，估计涉资约60亿元，若最终易手，将成今年最大手物业买卖成交。

消息亦指，是次新世界放售商场，亦为新买家提供租金回报保证。本报就有关消息，向新世界查询，截稿前暂未获回覆。

消息称，洽购财团以华润集团最为积极，事实上，华润集团今年非常活跃于本港物业市场上，如今年中，集团向嘉里 (00683) ，购入嘉里 (沙田) 货仓及嘉里 (柴湾) 货仓两项物业，作价分别23.3亿及22.9亿元，合共涉及约46.2亿元，以成交价计，为今年最大金额买卖，收购后作集团旗下华润物流之用。

华润今年活跃物业市场

另外，集团旗下华创建投，6月份斥13.6亿元，购入大埔运头塘商场。该集团早前曾表示，未来将会续向民生区商场发展，故对D‧PARK愉景新城感兴趣。

位于荃湾的D‧PARK愉景新城，为荃湾大型屋苑愉景新城基座商场，楼高3层，总楼面达63万平方呎，连同逾千个车位，绝对为区内大型商场之一，而项目连接港铁荃湾站，亦邻近荃景围一带大型屋苑，故消费人口主要为区内客。商场合共约140间店铺及旗舰店，主要为民生商户包括快餐店、家品店、教育中心等。

目前商场出租率逾9成

商场由新世界及香港兴业 (00480) 合作发展，97年落成，2010年新世界斥资约13.78亿元，向香港兴业购入商场及车场5成业权。其后新世界为物业进行租户重组以及重新定位，据了解，近年商场打造成以亲子为主题，包括商场设中央公园等，周末吸引家庭客前来，据了解，目前商场出租率逾9成。

新世界今年暂未有大型住宅楼盘推售，而销售集中于商业项目，其中近一年多推出长沙湾荔枝角道888号全新甲厦项目，销情不俗，当中获南洋商业银行大手购入3层，现大厦易名为南商金融创新中心。同时间，集团亦推出部分非核心物业，若价钱合适，可出售套现，投放在其他项目身上。

数字显示，今年大额买卖物业相对较淡静，大额商铺成交，主要来自地区商场，包括近日中国海外 (00688) 以约4.25亿元，沽出土瓜湾海悦广场商场，买家为俊业集团。

民生区商场抗跌 今年投资焦点

加息在即，投资者寻找较高回报及稳健物业，而中港尚未通关，核心区商铺前景仍不明朗。相比之下，民生区商场出租率高、抗跌力强，相信为今年投资焦点之一。

代理行数据显示，2017及2018年，均录逾400宗大手买卖 (5,000万元以上物业)，近年整体回落，2021年有所反弹。但因年初疫情严峻，今年首7个月暂录471亿元成交，仅为去年一半，宗数亦只是去年35%。香港加息在即，预计对投资市场进一步冲击，金额及宗数有可能再下跌。

投资物业关键之一是回报率，若加息提高投资成本，对机构投资者来说，便会寻求较高回报率物业，以抵销息口上升的影响。在商铺市场上，核心区商铺过去两年因疫情关键，租金及售价作出明显调整，渐出现投资机遇。

不过，若旅客未重返，核心区铺位空置率偏高的问题难以解决，故租售价反弹力度有限。目前政府实施「3+4」检疫措施，对推动外地旅客访港消费始终不高，加上中港通关更是无期，核心区商铺市况变化不多，投资者亦却步。

出租率高 本地消费仍稳定

持续两年多疫情，令民生区商场成投资对象，毕竟地区商场出租率高，本地消费仍稳定，而商场内的租户如超市、快餐店等，疫情下生意没受明显冲击，物业抗跌力较强，而今年大手商铺成交，几乎全属民生商场包括大埔、土瓜湾及荃湾，料今年民生区商场仍是财团重点留意对象。

跑马地愉华大厦申强拍

近年财团纷纷透过併购豪宅地段旧楼，申请强制拍卖以增土地储备，继日前有财团申请强拍跑马地翠景楼之后，持有毗邻愉华大厦的财团，最新亦向土地审裁处申请强拍，以统一业权发展，目前持有项目逾80%业权，市场估值逾6.11亿。

土地审裁处文件显示，位于黄泥涌道59及61号、云地利道36及38号的愉华大厦，由一家名为PRECISE LUCKY LIMITED的公司申请强拍，该公司持有约80.59%业权，现餘下8个单位未成功收购，包括Hongkong Bank Trustee Limited持有黄泥涌道61号一个低层物业，市场估值约1336万，该8个单位市场估值约1229万至1667万，市场对整个项目估值6.1124亿。

市场估值逾6.11亿

上址现为一幢商住物业，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅，楼龄约58年。由于该旧楼毗邻马场，落成后料不少单位可享马场景，而且邻近铜锣湾核心商业地段，因此极具重建价值。今年6月财团委託测量师调查显示，上址地盘面积5648方呎，若以地积比率9倍发展，涉及可建总楼面约50832方呎。

值得留意的是，早前一家名为Sonic Success Limited的公司，向土地审裁处申请强拍上述旧楼毗邻的翠景楼，现持有约83.33%业权，市场对整个项目估值7.0681亿。与此同时，黄泥涌道63至65号安美大厦，早前曾录19宗成交，包括16个住宅单位及3个铺位，总成交额涉及约4.12亿，不排除上述项目由同一财团併购，料届时会整合发展。

九龙城旧楼本月23日拍卖

此外，由财团併购的九龙城嘉林边道28A至28B号，早前获土地审裁处颁下强制售卖令，仲量联行将于9月23日，安排拍卖该物业，底价4.0425亿。据土地审裁处文件显示，上址现为1幢3层高旧楼，早于1950年落成入伙，楼龄约72年。该旧楼佔地10070方呎，现划为「住宅 (乙类)」用途，若以地积比率5倍重建，可建总楼面约50350方呎。

Link's $766m bid wins site at Anderson Road

Link Asset Management, the manager of Link Real Estate Investment Trust (0823), has won a commercial site in Kwun Tong for HK$766 million, or HK$5,501 per square foot, which is in line with market expectations.

The site on Anderson Road, known as Lot 1078 in Survey District 3, has an area of about 5,880 square meters and the maximum gross floor area is 12,936 sq m, according to the Lands Department.

The lot's market valuation ranged from HK$550 million to HK$905 million, or from HK$4,000 to HK$6,500 per sq ft.

The plot is the first of a pair of commercial sites available for sale within the Anderson Road Quarry Development. It is also the second government land won by Link seven years after its HK$5.86 billion bid for a commercial site on Hoi Bun Road in Kowloon Bay, where its headquarters is located.

Other tenderers included Sino Land (0083), CK Asset (1113), Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) and Chinachem.

Link said it intends to develop the land into a community commercial facility, including retail facilities, a fresh market, and car parks to serve the daily needs of more than 30,000 population as a number of public developments and subsidized housing estates in the district are completed in the coming years.

The site will be connected to public transport via an adjacent interchange. A covered pedestrian footbridge and lift system, both to be built by the government, will connect Link's Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centre and other residential estates in the Sau Mau Ping district.

The project is required to be completed by end of June 2028.

Previously, the government sold two residential sites in the area.

In 2018, Chinachem acquired Lot No 1068 at a consideration of HK$3.11 billion for private residential development, which is now known as Mount Anderson, which will provide 334 flats by 2023.

In 2020, CK Asset acquired Lot No. 1069 at a price of HK$4.95 billion to build 1,700 units of private and subsidized starter homes.

In other news, a consortium has applied for a compulsory sale of Comfort Mansion in Happy Valley, which is valued at over HK$600 million.

And a property at No 28A and No 28B Grampian Road in Kowloon has been granted a compulsory sale for redevelopment with a reserve price of HK$404.25 million, the auctioneer said.

Transitional flats play pivotal role in easing Hong Kong’s housing crunch as city looks to secure enough land supply, official says

Short-term policies are necessary to alleviate the plight of underprivileged residents, Undersecretary for Housing Victor Tai says

Average waiting time for public rental flats is six years, double the government’s pledge of three years

Transitional homes have played a pivotal role in easing Hong Kong’s shortage of public flats while authorities look to secure enough land supply, the deputy housing chief has said.

Undersecretary for Housing Victor Tai Sheung-shing on Wednesday said short-term policies were necessary to alleviate the plight of underprivileged residents. He was officiating a commencement ceremony ahead of the construction of more than 1,000 transitional homes and a community service building in Kam Tin by next year.

“Distant water cannot quench a fire nearby,” Tai said, citing a Chinese proverb. “We need to take forward every short-term measure to ease difficulties faced by public housing applicants and residents living in undesirable environments.”

He added that transitional housing was an important policy that showed cooperation among the community, the business sector and the government.

The policy is a 2018 government initiative to help low-income groups living in poor conditions, such as subdivided flats, who have not been able to move to public housing.

The average waiting time for public rental flats in Hong Kong is six years, double the government’s pledge of three years.

As of August, the government has identified land for 21,700 temporary flats, of which more than 5,000 are currently in use, while the rest are under construction or study.

The government has identified 350 hectares of land for 330,000 public flats to fulfil demand for housing over the next 10 years, but two-thirds of the homes can only be built between 2027 and 2032.

The Kam Tin project, which is among the coming transitional housing schemes, will provide 1,028 flats in a 200,000 sq ft site along Kam Po Road and cost more than HK$576 million (US$73 million).

Its operator, the pro-establishment New Territories Association of Societies (Community Services) Foundation, is aiming to construct three four-storey buildings in September 2023 to accommodate around 2,800 residents, who are currently either public housing applicants or families living in undesirable environments like subdivided units.

A two-floor community service building, featuring a supermarket, restaurant, clinic and a self-serve laundry shop, will also be built. The centre will also offer interest classes, counselling and career training services.

“These community services will serve both the transitional housing residents and the neighbourhood to foster interaction between them,” said Leung Che-cheung, president of the New Territories Association of Societies.

Leung added that the district’s rural community had been supportive of the project despite construction leading to the closure of a public road.

Located within a five-minute walking distance from Kam Sheung Road railway station, the operator said it expected the site to be fully occupied next year when it opened, while residents would sign a three-year contract and could potentially extend their stay.

“We hope that residents can stay until they can be housed in public housing,” Leung said.

The site is temporarily leased by the developer Henderson Land Development until 2027.

The government’s assessment committee on funding transitional housing projects led by undersecretary Tai held a meeting on Tuesday, approving changes to five schemes to provide an additional 260 flats, increasing the total number to 2,415.

The amendments included doubling the number of flats for a housing estate in Choi Hung operated by Lok Sin Tong to 331 to accommodate a total of 778 residents by increasing the number of floors in the building from four to eight.

Lok Sin Tong will also relocate 108 modular housing units to the Choi Hung site from another transitional housing estate in Sung Wong Toi Road, a site due to be returned to the government by next year. It will be the first transitional housing estate to reuse such flats.

Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho Wing-yin pledged to locate sites which would allow occupants of transitional flats to stay there longer following her first visit as minister to several of the city’s subdivided flats in July.

受疫情及加息因素影响，核心区甲厦租金持续受压。由活星地产创办人兼主席李耀湘持有金鐘海富中心二座中层单位，于交吉逾一年后，以「一拆二」形式，签下两年长租，呎租34元，创该甲厦过去12年呎租新低水平，回报亦低见1.5厘。

市场消息指出，金鐘海富中心二座中层1C室，建筑面积约1422方呎，新以每呎约34元租出，月租约48348元，据地产代理指出，上述单位于2020年底连同毗邻D室一併租出，月租12万，以建筑面积约3314方呎，租户于去年中撤出，业主将单位「一拆二」形式放租，上址另一单位仍交吉放租，意向呎租35元。

据地产界人士透露，上述业主为活星地产创办人兼主席李耀湘，于2020年11月以8616.4万购入，以建筑楼面3314方呎计，每呎造价约2.6万，以最新租金计，回报仅1.56厘。代理亦指出，海富中心二座呎租罕现跌穿每呎35元水平，惟受疫情及美国联储局加息等利淡因素打击，现今甲厦租务市场观望气氛笼罩，故上述租金已属贴市价水平。

呎租创12年新低

据代理行资料显示，该甲厦于今年以来仅录两宗租务成交，成交呎租分别为42元及47元。该厦近期低位租金为二期低层9室，于2020年9月以每呎约38元租出，以建筑面积约1155方呎计，月租约43890元。

活星地产李耀湘持有

翻查资料，李耀湘为活星地产创办人，近年亦活跃于物业买卖，中环云咸商业中心 27楼全层于去年10月以7650万成交，原业主为李耀湘等人，持货约13年后帐面获利约4866万，此外，李氏于去年中亦4.7亿购入山顶倚峦单位，面积3581方呎，呎价约13.12万，创该屋苑成交价及呎价新高。

据一间外资代理行统计资料显示，今年7月甲厦空置楼面冲上1000万方呎大关，创历来新高水平，等同五幢国际金融中心二期，空置率高达12.3%，加上新供应「排队」出场，涉及面积达700万方呎，预测今年底空置率将攀升至14.8%，将打破自1999年纪录，因空置楼面高踞不下，料明年整体甲厦租金跌约5%至10%。

另一方面，有代理表示，荃湾青山公路611至619号东南工业大厦中层D至E室，建筑面积介乎约7184至14368方呎，意向价约2729万起，呎价约3800元。

另一代理指，湾仔道113至117号得利商业大厦1楼全层，建筑面积约3875方呎，以交吉及按现状形式出售，意向价约4650万，呎价约1.2万。

中环皇后大道中9号中层意向1.3亿

早前由佳源持有的中环皇后大道中9号中层单位，早前获投资者张肇桓以9500万承接，上址最新以招标形式放售，意向价约1.3亿，呎价约3.89万。

投资者张肇桓放售

有代理指出，中环皇后大道中9号 14楼3室现以招标形式放售，总建筑面积约3335方呎，物业以现状连租约出售，意向价约1.3亿，截标日期为今年10月11日 (星期二) 正午12时正。

代理表示，物业于今年6月份成交价为9500万，该成交是原业主和财务机构的财务安排，并不能真正反映物业现时的真正价值，因此该财务机构现招标出售，意向价约1.3亿，平均呎价约38981元。

意向呎价3.89万

代理称，中环甲厦属市场罕有供应，区内近期亦频录逾亿元大手买卖，包括荆威广场顶层、南华大厦中层全层等。

皇后大道东8号两全层录承租

共享工作空间营运商IWG于今年3月，向太古承租旗下金鐘皇后大道东8号 (8QRE) 办公大楼18层，总楼面逾6.7万方呎，开办共用空间Spaces，已录两全层租出。该项目提供900个办公位置，为Spaces于本港第7个据点，亦令IWG旗下品牌包括Spaces、Regus及Signature于本港据点扩展至18个。

该项目佔地逾67000方呎，涉及18层楼面，提供逾900个办公位置，包括188间私人办公室、单人固定办公桌及企业专属楼层，以满足不同规模公司的需求。新中心特设有两层「商务俱乐部」开放空间让会员与更广泛的专业社群互动交流。

IWG办公中心使用率增80%

IWG香港及大湾区区域经理 Paul MacAndrew 表示，市场对混合办公模式写字楼需要大增，目前，皇后大道东8号已录2层全层租出。至于IWG其他办公中心，今年6月份使用率明显增长，较2月份升逾80%，IWG目标为年内为其全球网络新增1000个据点的目标出发。

据地产代理指出，上述共享工作空间项目位处金鐘区，属甲厦市场一綫地段。

外资代理行：未全面通关 港岛甲厦租金料跌5%

甲厦租金仍偏软，即使近日稍为放宽隔离措施，有代理行认为，在未全面通关下，今年港岛甲厦租金料跌约5%。

据该行每月商厦统计上，7月份整体甲厦租金稍下跌，中环最优质甲厦呎租约133.8元，按月跌0.9%，而中环整体甲厦租金为113.1元，按月跌1.3%。至于边缘区跌幅较高，上环及湾仔区租金分别按月跌2.1%及2.5%，而鰂鱼涌跌2.8%，为各区跌幅最高。

租务成交上，近日甲厦租务成交，不少来自中资机构。九龙站环球贸易广场 (ICC) 55楼逾半层楼面、以及56楼全层，总面积约5万平方呎，以每平方呎约75元租出。按该厦高层单位高峰呎租达100元计，如今租金水平已回调约25%。

中金公司租环球贸易广场 5万呎

新租客为中资金融机构中金公司，主要业务为协助公司集资上市、包销等。过去2年，多间内企来港IPO上市，令该行生意提升。由于预计下半年将有中概股回归，中金公司业务料进一步扩大，故进行扩充，而今年整体甲厦租务大手成交，几乎全为搬迁个案，是次属今年最大手扩充楼面个案。

此外，环球贸易广场同时录得另1宗中资机构租务，涉及物业高层大半层楼面，约2.8万平方呎，以每呎约75元租出。新租客为瑞禾航空资本，该机构主要业务为飞机租赁，以及资产管理等，总部设于香港。公司目前租用中环国际金融中心一期低层单位，涉及约4,000多平方呎，如今搬至环球贸易广场作大幅扩充。

翻查资料，是次录得2宗中资机构扩充个案，楼面原来均由德意志银行租用，该银行近年放弃部分楼面，是次涉及3层楼面，德意志银行曾寻求顶租，最终合约完结而迁出。

空置率升至9.2%

至于中环新甲厦预租情况，将于明年落成，恒地 (00012) 旗下中环 The Henderson 于早前录得第2宗租务，承租的是国际投资公司凯雷集团 (Carlyle Group)，涉及约2万平方呎楼面，呎租料约130元。

该行指出，受第2季度经济表现弱于预期的影响，商业气氛受抑制。大部分租户推迟他们的房地产决策，令租赁活动大幅度下跌。由于港岛区写字楼需求短缺，7月份港岛区整体空置率飈升至9.2%，是2003年沙士疫情后的历史新高。

该行称，在全面放宽边境限制之前，预计甲厦业主更愿意提供灵活的租赁条款，并进一步调低租金，以应对即将推出市场的新超甲厦供应。直至今年年底，预计港岛写字楼租金会由当前水平再进一步下降3至5%。

啟德跑道区两商地保留 有望今通过

规划署：有助维持旅游中枢活力

政府早前提出将5幅啟德商业地改划为住宅地，不过城规会于6月考虑有关的申述及意见后，建议保留其中位两幅于跑道区的用地作商业用途，只将当中3幅改划为住宅。方案将于今日再经城规会审议，而规划署表示拒绝接纳相关的反对声音，意味该两幅用地或有望保留作商业用途。

城规会计划保留作商业用途的两幅用地位于跑道区，分别为4C区4号及5号用地。而是次会方就此再接到4份申述，当中有两份支持保留商业用途，其餘两份均为反对意见。

反对意见：市区房屋供应重要

表示支持的两份申述分别为一名个别人士及环美航务。前者认为将用地保留作商业用途，可确保啟德发展区保持其活力，并提出将公共运输服务营办商及运输署应考虑开设新的路綫，以连接跑道区与不同港铁站等建议。而两者均认为当局该提供足够的泊车位设施，以配合上述两用地的商业发展项目及邮轮码头，及提出在4C区5号用地或4B区5号用地的东南部分开设一个公共运输交滙处。事实上，环美航务有份营运及管理啟德邮轮码头。

至于其餘两份反对意见均由个别人士提出，他们主要认为，若用地改划为住宅用途，对市区的短中期房屋供应十分重要，不应过分着重发展商的利益。不过，考虑到上述两用地适合作商业用途，并有助维持旅游中枢的活力和邮轮码头的经营前景等主要因素后，规划署拒绝接纳上述的反对意见。这意味城规会今日考虑上述申述后，意味该两幅用地或有望保留作商业用途。

事实上，政府早在去年财政预算案公布将啟德5幅商业地改划成住宅的方案，将提供近487万平方呎楼面面积，涉及6,000个住宅单位供应，相当于政府一年土地供应目标1.29万伙近半，如上述两幅商业地成功保留，意味最终或减少约1,720伙住宅供应。

大南街商住银主盘 3950万沽 5载贬8%

银主盘趋势蔓延至全幢物业，深水埗大南街一幢商住大厦，由银主以3950万元售出，物业5年间贬值350万元。

资料显示，上述大南街180号，地下为商铺，1及2楼为写字楼，3至5楼为住宅，总建筑面积约4411方呎，由银主以3950万元售出，平均呎价约8955元。

据了解，原业主于2017年斥资4300万元购入，去年疑因物业断供而沦为银主盘，现作价较5年前购入价账面跌350万元或8.1%。

另一边厢，土瓜湾马头围道123号地下，建筑面积1040方呎，获市建局斥资2758万元收购，呎价约26519元。据了解，原业主于2019年11月才以2468万元购入上址，持货不足3年，账面赚290万元或11.8%。

皇九单位意向价1.3亿

商厦市场方面，有代理表示，中环皇后大道中9号 14楼3室，建筑面积约3335方呎，以现状连租约出售，意向价约1.3亿元，呎价约38981元，截标日期为10月11日。

上址今年6月由内房佳源国际 (02768) 以9500万元售予肇才教育创办人与行政总裁张肇桓。

该代理称，该成交是原业主和财务机构的财务安排，并不能反映物业的真正价值，因此该财务机构委託该行进行标售。

Hong Kong, mainland China to see office rents decline through 2022 amid Covid-19 policies, while Singapore, Seoul surge

Hong Kong and most mainland cities will see office rents slide in the second half of the year, according to a property consultant’s forecast

Seoul and Singapore top property consultancy’s forecast for 22 markets, while Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Tokyo will see the largest drops

Office property markets in Hong Kong and mainland China are likely to see declining rents for the rest of the year, according to a consultancy ranking that places them in the bottom half of a list of 22 Asia-Pacific markets.

“Hong Kong SAR and mainland China are lagging in terms of rental growth,” a property consultant said. “We have also revised down our full-year expectations of the two markets.”

Guangzhou, which ranks 21st on the list, is tipped to see rents tumble by 3 per cent for the rest of the year following a 1.1 per cent decline recorded in the first half of the year, according to the consultancy. The vacancy rate in the city is likely to ease slightly, to 16.1 per cent from the current 16.4 per cent.

Only Tokyo fares worse, with the forecast calling for a 3.1 per cent slide in office rents, following a 1.6 per cent decline so far this year, the consultancy said. The Japanese capital’s vacancy rate is likely to worsen to 3.1 per cent from 2.1 per cent.

Hong Kong, meanwhile, ranks 20th, with rents pegged to fall 2.5 per cent.

Office rents in Shanghai are forecast to retreat 0.9 per cent, while those in the tech hub of Shenzhen are estimated to see a 0.7 per cent slide.

Among Chinese cities, only the capital Beijing is expected to see office rents rise, with the consultancy predicting they will improve by 0.5 per cent – placing the city in the 13th spot.

Singapore’s office market is likely to be the second-best performer with 8.3 per cent rent growth this year. Seoul tops the consultancy’s list with an anticipated 14.8 per cent increase in rents.

While most major markets in the region have opened to international visitors provided they are fully vaccinated, mainland China and Hong Kong still require visitors to quarantine upon arrival, on top of a plethora of Covid-19 tests.

China, the world’s second-largest economy, grew at a slower-than-expected 0.4 per cent pace last quarter, reflecting the toll of wide-ranging lockdowns in the capital Beijing and financial hub Shanghai, which hammered economic output and likely put the nation’s 5.5 per cent growth target for this year out of reach.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s economy slipped into a recession in the second quarter, contracting by 1.4 per cent from a year ago. In the first three months of the year, the gross domestic product slumped 3.9 per cent, leading officials to downgrade the growth forecast for the second time this year. Hong Kong’s economy is now tipped to contract by as much as 0.5 per cent or grow by as much as 0.5 per cent.

“The continued closure of the border between Hong Kong and China mainly affects the recovery of Hong Kong in regards to attracting mainland companies and the return of Chinese tourists,” the consultant said.

The impact on the office property market is apparent in Hong Kong. According to data from another property consultancy, the vacancy rate for prime office space in July inched up to 9.6 per cent from 9.4 per cent in June – close to the record high of 9.8 per cent recorded in September 2021.

With 2.8 million square feet of new prime space hitting the market this year, supply will reach a level not seen since 2008, when it stood at 3.5 million sq ft, according to another property consultancy.

Homes go on sale for Mid-Autumn

Miami Quay I in Kai Tak may unveil its first price list today, offering at least 130 flats and kicking off sales for the Mid-Autumn Festival, said the developers.

This came as the Bank of East Asia (0023) raised the cap on Hong Kong interbank offered rate-linked loans by 0.25 percentage points to 2.75 percent.

Developed jointly by Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land Development (0012), New World Development (0017) and Empire Group, phase one of Miami Quay provides 648 homes in total.

The project features one or two-bedroom units, so the developers expect it will attract young buyers, small families and investors.

Elsewhere, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) is expected to start sales of 164 units at Park Yoho Bologna in Yuen Long at the end of September.

Andy Chan Hon-lun, the developer's real estate agency general manager, said phase three of Park Yoho will be put for sale at a market price.

SHKP said about 3,000 homes at the project have been sold so far.

In other news, China's large residential builder Vanke (2202) said it will launch a new project on Yee Kuk Street and Hai Tan Street in Cheung Sha Wan, offering over 500 new homes in small and medium size.

Vanke said it expects to put the redevelopment project for sale next year, after winning two compulsory sale tenders for HK$852 million.

彭国邦指应尽快与国际通关 令商业市场回正轨

疫情冲击商业市道，太古地产 (01972) 行政总裁彭国邦 (Tim Blackburn) 认为，本港应尽快与国际通关，令商业市场重回正轨，并指写字楼租金已见底，通关后新需求可重临，而住宅楼价受加息影响等仅属短綫，长远仍可平稳发展。

疫情令封关持续近3年，对跨国商业活动造成冲击，写字楼需求下降。据测量师行数据，目前整体本港甲厦空置率近10%，为近10多年来新高。

港背靠中国优势 跨企必选择

坐拥多个大型写字楼项目的太古地产，早前公布最新营运数字，截至上半年，集团两大商业重镇，太古广场及太古坊整体出租率仍高达97%及96%，整体出租率为96%，彭国邦指，疫下集团写字楼仍保持理想出租率，「核心区甲厦租金已有所调整，但现已见底回稳，中期来说相信会稳定。」

封关成为跨国商务往来的重要阻碍，他认为，在新政府上场后已有正面进展，包括近期「3+4」检疫措施，但并不足够，希望是全面通关，现时很多地区也全面开放。对于有个别机构，近一年把总部迁至新加坡，令香港国际金融城市地位或受动摇说法出现。

彭国邦指，暂未见旗下租户出现此情况，亦强调香港拥背靠中国优势，「对跨国企业来说，因要到不同地方经商，他们搬总部或只是暂时性。但长远来说，若机构睇重内地市场，必须选择在港设办公室。」

疫情期间在家工作兴起，他不相信传统办公室因而被取代，「办公模式一定会有转变，在疫情前，曾有共享空间会代替传统办公室的说法。现时很多机构提供更弹性上班时间及地点，工作生活平衡，若机构可提供良好工作环境，便可吸纳人才。」彭国邦说。

他指，集团旗下太古坊二座今年第4季落成，楼面已获5成预租，他透露大厦设计甚有心思，提供很多公共地方迎合新需求，强调办公室受欢迎与否，关键是大厦质素及管理。

中长綫住宅需求 仍理想

至于住宅市场上，最近楼价有所调整，彭国邦认为，住宅价格有调整受不同原因影响，包括加息、经济不明朗因素，「相信只是短綫冲击，中长綫住宅需求仍理想。」他指，集团过往发展大型屋苑太古城、半山豪宅等，而2023至2026年将有数项目，包括湾仔EIGHT STAR STREET、黄竹坑站4期、柴湾中巴车厂，以上本年投得湾仔皇后大道东地皮，将提供多元化的住宅供应。

未来10年 重点投资内地一綫城市

今年为太古地产 (01972) 成立50周年，行政总裁彭国邦 (Tim Blackburn) 指，集团对本港及内地投信心一票，未来10年将投1,000亿元，一半投资中国内地，并集中一綫城市。

彭国邦称，太古地产计划在未来10年，投资1,000亿元扩展公司业务，于香港、中国内地和东南亚三地发展一系列新项目。三分之一资金会投放在香港，继续扩建和优化太古坊及太古广场两大核心投资物业组合。

500亿资金投资内地市场

另外，公司计划将超过一半的资金投资于中国内地市场，「过往集团在内地市场发展理想，包括太古汇等项目，未来主力发展一綫城市，预期未来10年公司佔中国内地物业组合的总楼面面积将增加1倍。」

对于近期内地房地产出现不少债务问题，令到房地产市场受到冲击，彭国邦指出相关内房出现问题为住宅市场，而集团在内地发展全为商业项目不受影响，而集团仍然非常看好前景。

至于大湾区发展方面，彭国邦指集团将在深圳开设酒店，未来亦会在深圳物色新项目，因留意到商厦空置率较高，故将主力发展零售项目。

数据中心需求殷 租金稳步上 代理：料未来1年升3%

数据中心于疫市下「异军突起」，有外资代理行代理接受本报访问时表示，科技发展一日千里，加上疫情带动，令电子商贸发展迅速，企业对数据中心需求与日俱增，惟今市场可作数据中心的工厦供应有限，供不应求，令数据中心于疫市下炙手可热，买家以机构性投资者为主力，料该类物业未来一年租金升约3%。

该代理指出，儘管受疫情及美国联储局加息等利淡因素洗礼，工商铺市场观望气氛挥之不去，然而，全幢酒店及工厦于今年上半年仍受捧，该类物业防守力较高，该行统计资料显示，今年第二季逾亿元成交金额涉183亿，当中工厦物业佔47%，涉及买卖金额达86%，因工厦受工厦活化政策支持，随着市场进入5G大时代，新经济需求如数据中心及冻仓等应运而生，该类物业均可透过工厦改装而成，可为物业增值 (Value-added)，成为机构投资者追逐目标。

此外，该代理亦指出，全幢酒店如出一辙，因可改装作长租公寓或共享空间，为物业释出潜在价值，带动该类物业于上半年频录大手买卖。

工厦佔买卖金额达86%

当被问及数据中心于疫市下炙手可热，该代理分析指，因受疫情打击，推动电子商贸需求、亦因居家工作日趋盛行，带动企业对网络及数据需求上升，刺激市场对数据中心需求稳步上扬，然而，市场可作数据中心用途的工厦有限，政府每年推出工业用地仅寥寥可数，若以现有工厦改装，数据中心需要较高供电量及空间支缓，故一般旧式工厦不能直接改装，市场上的同类放售物业亦相当罕有，造成市场供不应求，料该类物业明年整体租金上升约3%。

第2季甲厦负吸纳量17.7万方呎

另一方面，该代理亦为甲厦市场「把脉」，代理指出，整体租务市场于今年第二季曾稍回暖，惟通关尚未有正式时间表，市场仍缺乏新动力，今年第二季市场录负吸纳量17.7万方呎，待租率 (空置楼面加于未来12个月市场放租楼面) 约13.8%，加上正值供应高峰期，环顾今年达290万方呎楼面出台，明年亦有大量楼面「排住队」出场，料整体待租率持续上升。

然而，受政府早前落实推出「3+4」检疫措施，为甲厦市场释出正面讯息，加上中资企业对中环甲厦可说「情有独钟」，若中港两地于年底前可通关，料中资企业势将「回归」，届时可带动核心区甲厦租金回稳。

Hong Kong’s Swire Properties zeroes in on Shenzhen as part of its US$12.7 billion, 10-year investment plan

Swire plans to bring its Taikoo Li and Taikoo Hui mixed-use projects, which have been successful in other mainland Chinese cities, to Shenzhen

The Hong Kong-listed firm recently signed a cooperation agreement with the Futian district government of Shenzhen to develop a retail-led commercial project

Swire Properties will expand its retail property business in Shenzhen as part of its HK$100 billion (US$12.7 billion) investment plan over the next 10 years.

The Hong Kong-listed company is keen to grow its retail assets in the Greater Bay Area in Shenzhen besides Hong Kong and Guangzhou, said chief executive Tim Blackburn at a briefing last week.

“The challenge for us is continuing the Greater Bay [Area] story which, at the moment, is Shenzhen. That is where we want to be able to bring a Taikoo Li or a Taikoo Hui concept,” said Blackburn.

Taikoo Li and Taikoo Hui are Swire’s mixed-use property projects in China. On the mainland, the company has such developments in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu.

Swire’s HK$100 billion investment plan unveiled in March is broadly divided into three main components. About HK$30 billion has been earmarked for reinforcing office developments, HK$20 billion for residential projects in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and HK$50 billion for Taikoo Li and Taikoo Hui projects in China’s tier one cities, specifically in the Greater Bay Area.

He added that the company would like to build on the success of its Taikoo Hui project in Guangzhou, which “has been our flagship for more than a decade”.

While the scope of the Shenzhen project “will be entirely determined by the size of the site and the planning parameters”, Swire’s “retail projects are generally between one and 1.5 million square feet”, Blackburn said.

Swire recently signed a cooperation agreement with the Futian district government of Shenzhen. The company will work closely with the local authorities to develop a new commercial project and introduce premium international retail brands with a focus on culture and the arts to support the district in lifting its profile.

“The Futian district government is keen to take advantage of our extensive experience and expertise in urban regeneration, as well as our creative approach to placemaking” to transform neighbourhoods, Swire said in a statement.

Swire has a clear understanding of what the government is looking for, Blackburn said. Swire has had a team in Shenzhen since 2019 scouring for sites, but has yet to zero in on a location.

“To choose one site, we probably look at 100. That is how you know how complex the process is, in order to meet all our criteria,” Blackburn said.

Generally, the development period from acquisition to completion is between four to five years, depending on the scale, he added.

Swire’s focus in Shenzhen will be retail-led and is unlikely to include an office component. The city has ample supply of grade A office space, which has pushed up the vacancy rate to 15.5 per cent in the second quarter, according to a property consultancy.

“In short term, the issue of oversupply exists, the liquidity/lettable rate of the stock will be slower compared to last year, the vacancy rate will be pushed up and the rent is likely to remain flat,” the property consultancy said in its Shenzhen office market report.

“We have very clear ideas on where we want to invest and how much we want to invest in each of those projects,” Blackburn said, adding that that the project in Shenzhen would most likely be a joint venture.

The company has previously resorted to this route in Xian, where it had formed a 70:30 joint venture for the HK$10 billion project.

Last week, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang sounded another warning about China’s economy at a State Council meeting, saying companies were “facing more difficulties than in 2020” – during the initial outbreak of the coronavirus – and called for more reform.

China’s Communist Party will hold its twice-a-decade congress next month and it comes against the backdrop of an economy dogged by constant Covid-19-related disruptions, a looming population crisis and soaring youth unemployment.

Blackburn said Swire was comfortable investing in the Chinese mainland, pointing to the group’s 150-plus year history in the country.

“Will we continue our investment decisions in the Chinese mainland? The short answer is yes,” he said. “Irrespective of the short-term volatility, during this period of Covid, we still see the fundamentals.”

Miami Quay prices attract plenty of home hopefuls

Miami Quay I in Kai Tak plans to put another 65 flats on the market, which are expected to see a 5 to 10 percent hike in prices.

Co-developed by Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land (0012), New World Development (0017) and Empire Group, the project had received over 500 checks for 130 flats on the first price list by Saturday, making the batch 2.8 times oversubscribed.

The first batch goes on sale over the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival weekend.

Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu, an executive director of Wheelock Properties, said about 7,000 visitors were in attendance at an exhibition hall, with more than 50 percent of them current residents of Kowloon, especially people living or working in Kowloon East.

About 25 percent were from Hong Kong Island and the rest from the New Territories and other parts.

And many of the would-be buyers were young people.

About 70-80 percent of them intend to purchase a property for themselves while the remainder aimed to buy the property for investment.

The Miami Quay development features three residential buildings that can offer a total of 648 flats.

The first price list for Miami Quay I was released last Friday and included 130 flats.

There are studios plus one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom flats on the list, with prices ranging from HK$5.24 million to HK$14.6 million. So square-foot prices are from HK$20,339 to HK$23,839.

The average price is HK$22,452 per sq ft, which is the lowest seen in the district during the past two years.

Wong said the prices of these units are indeed attractive in the market, and he believes there will be room for increases of 5 to 10 percent when more flats are added.

Amid sales of a large project, the picture of sales in the 10 major housing estates in the secondary market was mixed over the weekend.

A property agency's 10 major housing estates only recorded eight transactions during the weekend - a five-week low.

But another agency recorded 10 transactions, a week-on-week increase of 11.1 percent.

The decrease of transactions recorded by the first agency was seen to be mainly due to the fact that the pandemic in Hong Kong has risen again, with tens of thousands of confirmed cases in a single day, and that caused a decline in property viewing activities.

啟德两商地保留 少1720伙住宅供应

城规会昨日再审议，有关保留两幅位于啟德跑道区用地作商业用途的申述及意见，并表示拒绝接纳相关反对申述，即两幅用地将获保留作商业之用。

上述两幅获保留的用地分别为4C区4号及5号用地。会方早前就此再接到4份申述，当中有两份支持保留商业用途，其餘两份属反对意见。

对于由一名个别人士，及有份营运啟德邮轮码头的环美航务所提出的支持意见，城规会表示备悉。同时，会方表示不接纳其餘两份反对意见，意味该两幅用地将保留作商业用途。

政府在去年财政预算案已公布，将啟德5幅商业地改划成住宅的方案，涉及6,000个住宅单位供应，而是次决定保留两幅商业地后，最终住宅供应将减少约1,720伙。

西贡绿化地 建330伙住宅

另外，城规会早前计划将一幅比邻西贡打鼓岭新村的绿化用地，改划成私人住宅用途，提供约330伙。而改划遭长春社等反对，主因是拟议房屋发展违反「绿化地带」的规划意向，并不能应付市民对可负担房屋供应的需求，加上当局应考虑其他土地供应选项，如棕地及閒置土地。

不过，经会方于昨日审议后，会方同样拒绝接纳所有反对申述，因此方案获城规会通过，日后将增加约330伙住宅供应。

铜锣湾旧楼强拍添变数

近年铜锣湾一带不少旧楼纷纷被财团併购，其中有财团早于2020年向土地审裁处申请强拍的铜锣湾勿地臣街10及12号旧楼，昨获该处颁下判决书，指小业主曾去年7月递交4份专家报告，最终有3份专家报告不被法庭接纳，另外申请人在14日内与小业主确认是否提出撤销部分修订异议通知书的申请，若未能协商可向法庭申请指示。

另外，早前获太古地产申请强拍的鰂鱼涌华厦工业大厦，于上月低层A室，成交价5950万；业界透露，上址建筑面积4220方呎，呎价约1.41万，原业主早于1972年约26.5万购入，帐面获利约5923.5万，物业期间升值逾223倍。太古地产发言人表示，华厦工业大厦早于18年申请强拍，最新对上述工厦单位作出收购，该工厦强拍进行中，料与毗邻仁孚工业大厦作合併发展，以作办公楼及其他商业用途，总楼面约77.9万方呎。

Miami Quay sells at 10 per cent discount as Kai Tak developers grapple with monorail loss in a slowing housing market

Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land Development, New World Development and Empire Group priced the first 130 units of Miami Quay at HK$22,452 per square foot

The price is about 10 per cent cheaper than the Monaco Marine that launched in the same area in April, and 2.3 per cent less than One Victoria that launched in June 2021

A housing project at Kai Tak launched with a 10 per cent discount to the area’s prevailing price, as developers grappled with the sudden loss of mass-transit access and reduced commercial presence in Hong Kong’s former airport site amid a slowing market.

Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land Development, New World Development and Empire Group priced the first 130 units of their Miami Quay apartments at HK$22,452 per square foot on average after discounts, about 10 per cent cheaper than the Monaco Marine that launched in the same neighbourhood in April.

The first phase of Miami Quay, comprising 648 flats in three tower blocks, is scheduled for completion in August 2023. As the second housing project to go on sale on the former runway, Miami Quay’s price is also 2.3 per cent lower than the average price by its predecessor One Victoria, which launched in June 2021 at HK$22,977 per sq ft.

“Overall it’s cheaper,” said Sam Chi-yung, chief strategist at Patrons Securities in Hong Kong, adding that the 2020 decision to scrap a monorail link between Kai Tak and East Kowloon has affected home prices, as did the conversion of three commercial parcels in the area to residential use. “Higher interest and mortgage rates will affect the ability to repay, which indirectly affects sales.”

[Kai Tak] appears to be mostly residential,” Sam said. “Home prices in a place with only residential [property] will not be as high as where there is also commercial use.”

The entry price of Miami Quay is HK$5.24 million (US$667,590) for a flat that measures 250 square feet (23 square metres).

The price was set below the market price to attract the attention of young buyers and small families, said Wheelock Properties’ managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu. It could be on sale in the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday next weekend at the earliest, he added.

The average price of second-hand homes has fallen in Hong Kong, as a resurgent Covid-19 outbreak – and the quarantine rules to contain it – has driven the city into a technical recession. A property agency’s index which is a gauge of lived-in homes, fell 0.8 per cent to 173.22 for the week that ended on August 28, the lowest since March 2019.

The index may fall a further 1.9 per cent until the Mid-Autumn Festival next week, the agency said.

Some buyers are taking advantage of falling prices to enter the market, aiming to get ahead of the curve before the rising interest rates imposed by monetary authorities spill over into higher mortgage payments.

The number of residential, commercial and industrial properties as well as parking spaces rose 4.8 per cent to 5,238 transactions in August as more buyers piled in amid the falling prices.

The most affordable prices – usually associated with the smallest units – are finding ready buyers. Wang On Properties launched its Larchwood micro-apartments in western Mong Kok, featuring units as small as 181 sq ft, as cheap as HK$3.83 million. The developer sold 33 units, or 40 per cent of the 83 flats on offer, as of 6:30pm, agents said.

Hong Kong’s government set a 280 sq ft minimum size last December for flats built on government land. However, private projects that were not subject to lease modifications and land exchanges were still not covered by the minimum flat size requirement.

The tiniest flat measures 181 sq ft, slightly larger than a standard car-parking space of 130 sq ft, and costs HK$4.18 million after discounts. The cheapest flat at HK$3.83 million measures 206 sq ft. The average price of the 83 flats is at HK$22,421 per sq ft after discounts. Another 15 Larchwood flats will go on sale on Sunday.

疫情表现反覆，有代理行综合土地註册处资料显示，8月份录367宗工商铺註册，按月只增加1宗，金额录47.89亿，按月减少约18.8%，该行指出，虽然政府并未收紧防疫措施，但市场观望气氛浓厚，料后市不会有惊喜，仍然维持低水平。

商铺註册量四个月低

上月工厦及商厦註册分别按月升约4.3%及5.1%，各录195及83宗。商铺註册按月跌约11.0%，最新报89宗，为最近四个月以来低位。8月份整体宗数报367宗，按月升约0.3%，即只较上月多出1宗，数字继续在今年低位徘徊。8月份金额录47.89亿，按月挫约18.8%。

按金额划分，除了500万以下及逾1亿物业外，其他金额类别註册量按月下跌。500万以下物业共录189宗，按月升17.4%。逾1000万以上至2000万物业，共录50宗，按月下降约20.6%。逾2000万至5000万录17.1%按月跌幅，8月共录34宗。逾5000万至1亿最差，只录5宗登记，按月急挫58.3%。8月逾1亿录8宗，按月增加4宗，商厦及铺位各佔3宗，金鐘海富中心二座13楼全层以约1.93亿成交，铺位包括西贡翠塘路1A号Centro全幢商场作价约4.22亿，中环安兰街18号28及29楼全层作价约1.7亿。

市场静候反弹时机

该行代理表示，近日本港疫情反弹，虽然政府未缩减食肆每枱人数、堂食时间等，但市场观望气氛浓厚，上月工商铺註册宗数继续低位徘徊，并预料在现况下，工商铺买卖将维持较低水平。

市建观塘商业项目明截意向

本港疫情反覆，整体商业气氛不景气，市建局亦调整观塘市中心第4和第5发展区「巨无霸」商业项目的酒店、写字楼及商业零售组合比例推出，包括可放弃兴建酒店、商业楼面最多102万方呎等，以打造区内新地标，并于明日 (7日)截收意向书；综合市场估值介乎约184.1亿至259.9亿，每呎楼面地价由8500至12000元。

业界：料财团出价保守及审慎

有测量师表示，项目发展规模大，故市建局亦调整该项目发展酒店、写字楼及商业零售组合比例，以增加弹性，而且近期商业市道未见好转过，未来商业楼面供应相当充裕，相信发展商出价会保守及审慎。

另一测量师指出，近年写字楼空置率高企，预测甲级商厦和核心商店的租金走势偏弱，在加息和市场不明朗的环境下，相信发展商的入标价必然保守。综合市场估值介乎约184.1亿至259.9亿，每呎楼面地价由8500至12000元。

市场估值184亿至259亿

观塘市中心项目是市建局历来规模最大的单一重建项目，以五个区域进行分阶段发展，该项目为最后一个发展区域，地盘面积为27.56万方呎，可建总楼面约216.59万方呎。

该项目早前向城规会提交修订申请，调整酒店、写字楼及商业零售组合比例，增加项目弹性，当中酒店部分不设楼面下限至最多34.44万方呎，意味中标财团可选择不兴建酒店或最多提供400间酒店客房。

总楼面216万呎

而写字楼部分则修订为70.89万至137.37万方呎，最后商业用途楼面 (商店及服务行业、食肆、娱乐场所及教育机构)，则修订为69.97万方呎至102万方呎。若规划许可获城规会批准，该局会据「浮动规划参数安排」推出招标。

李寧开旗舰店 200万租广东道巨铺

租金较高峰跌7成 核心区今年最大额租务

核心区铺位租金经过大幅调整后，吸引个别品牌趁机开旗舰店。内地体育服装品牌李寧 (02331)，以每月约200万元，租用尖沙咀广东道新港中心逾7,000呎复式铺，成品牌首间香港旗舰店。是次租务为今年核心区最大额商铺租务成交，租金较高峰期跌7成。

尖沙咀新港中心录得一宗大手铺位租务成交，涉及物业包括：地下及1楼，属复式铺位，由于新港中心位处尖沙咀最核心零售地段广东道，故商场街铺价值甚高。据了解，复式铺以约200万元租出。由于年初受第5波疫情冲击，零售进一步受挫，今年市场甚少大手商铺租务成交，是次涉及约200万元月租，为今年核心区录得最大额租务成交。

新港中心复式铺 共7700呎

据了解，新租客为内地服装李寧，近日铺外已贴上品牌标誌，预计第四季开业。李寧为内地龙头运动服装，产品包括球鞋、轻便运动服装，并赞助国家跳水队、乒乓球队等，更与国际级体育明星合作，包括前NBA球星韦迪 (Dwyane Wade) 推出「Way of Wade」系列，球鞋甚受欢迎，亦反映品牌在国际上地位。

李寧早年曾在港落户，不过规模只是商场内面积较细铺位，是次斥200万元租新港中心7,700平方呎复式铺，为品牌在港旗舰店，将会售卖篮球鞋、羽毛球、瑜伽产品等。消息称，该品牌亦正物色核心区如中环，开设大型店铺。

周生生数月前迁出 高峰700万租

翻查资料，该店铺地下面积5,243平方呎，1楼建筑面积2,443平方呎，原由连锁金行周生生 (00116) 自2005年开始承租，月租高达700万元，直至数月前合约期满迁出。如今李寧以约200万元承租，租金下跌约逾7成。

事实上，目前由华置 (00127) 及华创建投持有新港中心，因疫情冲击令出租率偏低，特别区内大型品牌旗舰店先后迁出，例如其中一复式铺，地下至2楼，总面积共约10,140平方呎，曾由国际品牌Burberry租用，今年亦弃租。

至于商场内另一组巨铺，面积逾4万平方呎，由时装H&M租用，租约今年中完结，曾一度贴出即将结业告示，最终业主与租客续短租一年。

业界：市况待明年才有反弹

疫情下持续封关，零旅客之下零售商纷纷减成本，放弃核心区铺位，令空置率上升。有外资代理行数字显示，2017年核心区铺位空置率约4%，而踏入2020年疫情爆发，空置率升至最高逾18%，现时稍为回落至约16.5%，仍处偏高水平。租金方面，该行数据显示，4大核心区平均呎租约252元。

另一外资代理行代理分析，核心区铺位租金经过多年调整后，现时处于低水平，实在「跌无可跌」，惟目前后市仍有不明朗因素，零售品牌始终未有大幅扩充意慾。另一代理认为，目前品牌对于核心区部署开业仍较为审慎，相信整体市况要等明年才明显有反弹机会。

检疫措施放宽 激活商业气氛？

商铺租金由高峰期下挫，令品牌重新感兴趣来港开业，以打造品牌声望。惟放宽检疫措施后，尚未出现大量旅客来港，相信要待香港与内地及国际完全通关，才令零售商重拾信心扩充。

趁租金跌 打造品牌声望

在零售高峰期时，尖沙咀广东道及铜锣湾罗素街，数千呎复式铺，月租动輒数以百万元，甚至千万元计，当中更是一铺难求。疫情后旅客绝迹，核心区铺位单计近两年租金已下跌4至5成，从高峰期更下泻7至8成，如今在广东道以200万元，可租用两层复式铺，对品牌来说较易负担，亦可以在最优质地段开业，有助品牌宣传。

从实际营商角度，若缺乏旅客到访，于核心零售区大手租铺开业不易计数，毕竟难以单靠本地客生意维持。

政府于8月份，推出「3+4」入境检疫措施，缩短酒店隔离期，希望便利访港旅客及商务人员，从而令本港及国际尽快接轨。措施实行一个多月，核心区商铺租务未见明显加快，仍然吉铺处处，似乎新措施不足以激活商业气氛。

部分品牌 现阶段採观望

据多间商铺租务代理透露，暂未见有大量零售品牌因应新措施，而变得积极扩充业务。对零售商来说，香港零旅客已持续近3年，对何时完全通关难以掌握，何况即使通关后，旅客重返的速度及数量仍难与以前相比，故对大部分品牌来说，现阶段仍是採观望态度，寧等待完全通关落实，才作出租铺扩充也未迟。

栢丽大道复式铺 展览商60万租用

近年兴起艺术展览，更趁核心区大楼面铺位交吉而承租，尖沙咀栢丽大道前周生生复式巨铺，获一家展览商租用。

尖沙咀弥敦道111至181号栢丽购物大道地下G1至G4号铺连1楼1至2号铺的复式铺位，地下面积约2,866平方呎，1楼面积约2,894平方呎，合共约5,760平方呎，铺位早前租出，月租料约60万元。

据了解，新租客为一家从事展览业务公司，租用两层大型复式铺，日后料作展览用途包括NFT等艺术展览。租约方面，据悉是次料涉及1年或以上租期。

租金较高峰期跌约8成

翻查资料，周生生2008年起租用铺位，月租高达215万元，其后2012年续租，月租加4成至300万元，而近年自由行旅客消费放缓，租金回落，估计跌至约100多万元。按现时月租约60万元计，租金较高峰期跌约8成。

艺术展览近年在港颇受欢迎，在核心区吉铺增加下，不少展览商短租铺位。如中环皇后大道中59至65号泛海大厦地铺及1楼，总楼面约19,075平方呎，曾由TOPSHOP时装租用，铺位于2020年中交吉，去年获艺术展览会主办机构短租，举行香港首个大型艺术科技体验展Digital Art Fair Asia，属亚洲首个展示世界级新媒体艺术、NFT加密艺术实体展览，为期约1个月。

全幢住宅租务稳健 吸财团注意

近期大手买卖成交上，全幢住宅所佔比例提高，由于住宅租务稳健，加上日后或可进行拆售，故吸引不少财团留意。

在投资物业中，商铺及商厦交投相对淡静，而大手成交上，连环录得全幢住宅买卖。包括Weave Living表示，与领盛合作，成立价值1.4亿美元 (约10.9亿港元) 的合营企业，并以2.75亿元购入半山罗便臣道68号全幢住宅物业。该厦由本地老牌家族持有多年，Weave Living方面表示，项目总楼面约2.6万平方呎，属一梯一伙设计，入市因价格较便宜，并看好住宅租务市场。集团将加以翻新，作长綫收租项目。

Weave Living购半山住宅 拟收租

Weave Living今年已于香港和新加坡收购合共4个物业，现时在两地持有共10个物业，提供约1,500个住宿单位。最新与领盛成立的合营企业，总投资价值为4亿美元 (约31.2亿元)。早前集团与安祖高顿 (Angelo Gordon) 及保德信房地产 (PGIM Real Estate) 等合作。至于是次合资的领盛过去曾在港投资物业，对上一次在港进行买卖，为2012年以23.68亿元沽出佐敦弥敦道诺富特酒店。

另外，何文田The Argyle全幢住宅租赁项目，早前以5.8亿元成交。该物业位于亚皆老街，邻近胜利道及太平道，位置理想。物业于2015年落成，由万泰发展，项目地下及1楼为商铺，铺位面积约6,165平方呎，6至29楼为住宅，总建筑楼面约36,997平方呎，而住宅部分实用面积约23,032平方呎，以市值约5.8亿元计，建筑面积呎价约1.56万元。

项目合共提供36伙，实用面积由约440至980平方呎，採2至3房设计，并设有特色户。万泰于2016年把物业推出进行招租，入场费约2.3万元起，呎租约54元起。是次新买家为本地投资者朱鸿钧，购入作收租

另外，建灝地产早前以约11.4亿元，向邓成波家族购入九龙城蔚盈轩。项目楼龄4年，楼高29层，总建筑面积约8.4万平方呎，合共提供92个单位，由1至4房不等，以11.4亿元成交，呎价约1.35万元。翻查资料，项目原为丰泰持有住宅项目铜璵，在2017年由邓成波以13亿元购入，并且改装成为长者服务式住宅命名为蔚盈轩。若以11.4亿元成交价计，邓成波家族蚀1.6亿元离场。

分析指，由于核心区商厦及铺位，租金及售价在低位徘徊，空置楼面不少，投资价值上或欠稳健。相比之下，住宅租务市场仍平稳，优质地段住宅出租率甚高，财团转向投资全幢住宅，收租上较为稳定。此外，买家购入日后可因应市况进行拆售套现，灵活度较高，料在住宅市场相对平稳下，全幢住宅可吸引资金承接。

中环振邦大厦 交通便合服务业

中环振邦大厦属区内老牌物业，胜在位处皇后大道中心臟地段，非常便利，适合服务业。

中环振邦大厦位于皇后大道中58至62号，绝对为大道中最中心位置，比邻娱乐行、皇后大道中100号等，地点为最大优势。交通上，由港铁中环站出口步行至该厦，仅需数分鐘，而大道中与中环其他主要地段连接，故附近有巴士、电车站等，四通八达。

楼上每层 可分间数单位

此外，附近亦有人气日本超市，以及近一年多新开业的中环街市等，注入不少新动力及人流。

值得一提，该厦不少商户涉及美容等服务业，故交通便利成关键。

配套上，大道中一带有多个大型商场，亦邻近兰桂坊，餐厅食肆多不胜数。

大厦于1968年落成，楼龄高加上没有太多翻新，故难免有较陈旧感觉。地下入口要步行多级楼梯才到达电梯大堂，稍为不便。

项目楼高10层，总楼面约9.1万平方呎，楼上每层可分间成数单位，最细单位约700至800平方呎起，适合中小型公司使用。景观方面，大厦主要望向皇后大道中楼景。

买卖较少 去年呎价见16398

买卖及租务方面，大厦买卖成交较少，去年物业7楼5室，面积约805平方呎，以约1,320万元成交，呎价约16,398元。另外本年7月，物业高层单位，面积约1,400平方呎，以约2,000万元易手，呎价约14,286元。

租务上，今年大厦录数宗租务，年初低层单位，面积约962平方呎，以约3万元租出，呎租约32元，至于年中低层商铺部分，面积约5,890平方呎，成交月租约47.1万元。

最近一宗租务为7月，一个面积约1,436平方呎的中层单位，以每月4.1万元租出，呎租约29元。

低层单位放售 呎价叫1.9万

中环振邦大厦放盘少，现物业低层单位，以每呎1.9万元放售。

有代理表示，物业位于中环皇后大道中58号振邦大厦9楼A室，面积约1,400平方呎，叫价约2,660万元，呎价约1.9万元。

同时招租 每呎41元

据了解，业主一直自用作美容院，保养得宜，现时亦以呎租41元招租，单位装修简洁亮丽，亦配备来去水位。除可作传统写字楼用途外，亦适合作美容、髮型屋及医疗等相关行业，租客类别多元化，且同幢大厦内亦有经营美容中心、诊所及各类楼上铺，可为同类行业带来协同效应。

该代理续称，近期中区可作楼上铺的商厦买卖气氛炽热，短短1周内先后录得多宗买卖成交，如由大鸿辉集团持有的云咸街1号南华大厦7楼全层，最近以呎价约29,175元易手，涉资约1.2亿元；而威灵顿街1号荆威广场高层全层则以约1.1亿元成交，呎价约25,017元。

至于另一宗安兰街18号顶层复式单位连天台，亦以作价约1.7亿元售出，即平均呎价约3.48万元易手，反映中环区商厦备受市场注目。

Prices rise at Miami Quay

Miami Quay I in Kai Tak has released its second price list of 65 flats, with prices ranging from HK$6.44 million to HK$21.15 million, up 5 to 10 percent over the first batch.

The first batch of 130 flats had received more than 800 checks over the weekend.

The project, developed by Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land Development (0012), New World Development (0017) and Empire Group, attracted more than 30,000 visitors to both its online exhibition and show flats at The Gateway, Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui over the weekend.

Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu, executive director of Wheelock Properties, expects the first round of sales will be launched on the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

Wong said a four-bedroom unit featuring a skyline view will be up for sale by tender in the first round as well.

In other news, a private equity fund acquired a shop on Queen's Road West for HK$20.5 million. Bridgeway Prime Shop Fund has bought 20 stores for about HK$430 million so far this year, expecting shop prices will be steady before the year end if quarantine-free entry is rolled out in November.

Hong Kong property sellers roll out perks and promotions, but a bathtub video gets one agency into slightly hot water

Developers and agencies offer perks including Japan travel, water park memberships, festive craft activities and dining vouchers to drum up sales

A property agency removes a promotional video that featured a female agent in a bath towel showing off a large tub

Some Hong Kong property companies are pulling out the stops to secure sales in a downbeat market amid falling home prices, offering a range of perks and – in the case of one agent – appearing in a bath towel in a video to entice potential buyers.

In addition to lower prices, developers and agencies have recently offered perks including subsidies for travel to Japan, water park memberships, hot-water dispensers, festive celebrations and dining vouchers to drum up sales.

“There will be more discounts for promoting sales in the primary market in the short term,” an agent said, adding that the market will also see more alternative promotional tactics, like videos and gifts.

Prices of second-hand homes have fallen in Hong Kong as a resurgent Covid-19 outbreak – and the quarantine rules to contain it – have driven the city into a technical recession.

A market index which is a gauge of lived-in home prices compiled by a property agency, fell 0.8 per cent to 173.22 for the week that ended August 28, the lowest since March 2019. The index may fall a further 1.9 per cent before the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 10, according to the agency.

Hong Kong had 41,684 property agents active in August, a four-month high, but only 5,238 property deals were completed, according to data from the Estate Agents Authority and Land Registry. That equates to a ratio of eight agents per deal.

Amid this competitive environment, one female property agent appeared in a bathtub, wrapped in a bath towel, in a video about Longfor Group’s Upper Riverbank development in Kai Tak. A property agency posted the video in late August but removed it after it sparked criticism, “online bullying” and even “doxxing”, according to a statement from the agency.

The video was meant to show the “spacious bathroom and an extra-large bathtub”, the agency said in defending both the agent and the video, adding that the agent was wearing clothing underneath the towel.

“The front-line colleague did not have any indecent actions or inappropriate statements in the whole film,” the agency said. “Before the short film was released, it had been reviewed, and there was no indecency in the video. After the production of the short film was completed, it was also confirmed and agreed by the seller.”

The number of housing transactions rose 12.7 per cent to 4,137 in August after a four-month low in July as more buyers piled in amid the falling prices and promotional lures. Some buyers are aiming to get ahead of the curve before rising interest rates imposed by monetary authorities spill over into higher mortgage payments.

Developers and agents have offered the following enticements recently.

A property agency offered the first three buyers of certain properties in Japan a subsidy of 2 million yen (US$14,234.8) for travel to Japan, according to the company’s statement in early September. The offer lasts until September 30.

The first 10 people buying three- or four-bedroom flats at Grand Victoria in Cheung Sha Wan – developed by Wheelock Properties, Sino Land, K Wah International and SEA Group – in September through a specific agency will get dining vouchers worth HK$5,000.

At Soyo in Mong Kok, developed by Excel Billion Group Holdings and Chun Wo Development Holdings, the first five buyers in September will get two free annual memberships for Water World at Ocean Park. The first five buyers through a specific agency get instant hot water dispensers.

Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong) Company has been giving its club members materials for use in craft activities at the showroom of VAU Residence in Cheung Sha Wan for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Father’s Day and Mother’s Day.

信和持有的九龙湾国际交易中心顶层3相连全层楼层放售，意向价近15亿。有代理表示，国际交易中心29至31楼，每层面积约27457方呎，合共约82371方呎，以意向呎价约1.8万计算，每层意向价约4.94亿，总金额约14.82亿。

意向呎价1.8万

该代理指，物业位处顶层，享城市及啟德邮轮码头景，曾获知名体育品牌承租，不过，现时以每呎约33元招租。国际交易中心坐落宏照道和宏泰道交界，採用玻璃外墙设计，邻近企业广场、富临中心等甲厦，交通完善，可步行至港铁九龙湾站，黄氏分析，内地早前放宽入境隔离政策，由「14+7」缩减为「7+3」，与内地商务往来活动将復甦。

新买家各佔50%权益

今番交易连两家公司，近11.3亿未偿还金额，母公司旭辉为卖方担保人。买方为华王有限公司，由宏安地产及APG SPV各拥50%权益。APG SPV为APG Strategic Real Estate Pool (汇集基金) 于荷兰成立的存託机构，由荷兰退休基金为集体投资而成立。

公布指出，该宗交易所得款项净额约6.81亿，用作营运资金，并估计可录收益约2180万。

取消早前交易安排

该项目英皇道101号及111号，佔地面积约12695方呎，前身商厦，曾由新目标集团以约18.8亿收购，目前拆卸中，计画重建住宅项目，料2026年完成。今年6月底估值20亿。

该交易原以6.74亿在8月10日售予与集团股东林中、林伟及林峰。董事会认为，是次新交易与原出售事项类似，新出售事项收取现金较原出售事项多约800万元，同时估计多约1192.5万，预计9月底前落实。

市建土瓜湾项目突击招标 「一口价」定胜负 卖楼逾60亿按比例分红

市建局马不停蹄推出发展项目，除观塘市中心第4和第5发展区「巨无霸」商业项目今日截收意向之外，该局昨日突然推出土瓜湾第四个以「小区模式」发展的荣光街/崇安街发展项目招标。消息透露，发展商需自行提出「一口价」，以价高者得决胜负，日后售楼收益达60亿以上须按比例分红，最高达五成。该项目市场估值综合约30.6亿至36.2亿，每呎楼面地价约1.1万至1.3万。

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，挟市区及铁路沿綫优势，昨日正式招标，招标条款随即曝光。市场消息透露，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2.15万便需要分红，而且发展商须向市建局自行提出「一口价」建议，将成为胜负的关键。

售楼逾63亿须分红50%

至于商场部分，市建局及中标财团共同持有，租金收益由中标财团及市建局以「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，项目设有限呎条款，住宅单位面积不得少于300方呎，同时规定最少一半单位面积不可超过480方呎。

该项目于上月初完成招收意向书程序，合共接获31份意向书，该局昨日正式邀请31家发展商及财团入标竞投，并于10月6日截标。市建局指出，招标遴选小组将评审收到的标书，并于稍后就批出该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。

商场租金「七三」分帐

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；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伙住宅。

招标条款显示，成功取得该项目的发展商及财团，须按发展协议中列明有关土瓜湾小区发展的「总体设计要求」作为兴建新发展项目的蓝本，与毗邻重建项目产生协同效应，以达致整个小区的重整及规划更完整及一体化，促进该小区的连接性与步行环境，并以更具特色的「地方营造」及智慧元素，提升该区的宜居性。

标价备受市场关注

有测量师指出，上述项目属市区罕有新供应，料财团入标时会参考毗邻已批出的项目价格，认为在加息环境下，是次批出价格参考指标，将备受市场关注。

另一测量师表示，近期政府批出地价有回调迹象，惟未来供应重镇仍集中于土瓜湾、深水埗等一带，而且近年市建局以小区发展的大型重建项目罕有，估计届时收约10份标书。综合市场消息指，参考去年同区批出项目每呎楼面地价，预计该项目估值30.6亿至36.2亿，每方呎估值约1.1万至1.3万。

市建局昨日正式邀请发展商及财团入标竞投的土瓜湾荣光街 / 崇安街项目，为该局于过去约一年多，推出招标的第4个同区发展项目，而之前招标的3个项目，中标发展商分别为恒基、嘉里及长实，涉及金额合共逾197.7亿。

三项目涉逾197.7亿

市建局于去年6月，就土瓜湾庇利街/荣光街项目邀请发展商递交意向书，最终接获36份意向书，同年7月正式招标，8月截标时合共接获6份标书，最后恒基于9月以81.89亿投得，直至今年2月恒基引入帝国集团及希慎兴业合作发展。该项目地盘面积约7.97万方呎，预计可建总楼面逾71.7万方呎，料可提供1150伙住宅及11.9万方呎商业楼面。

会德丰跑马地旧楼申请强拍

传统豪宅区住宅地供应短缺，不少财团密密透过旧楼併购，以申请强拍增土储；跑马地黄泥涌道一系列相连地段的旧楼、包括翠景楼、愉华大厦及安美大厦，短短两周内先后向土地审裁处申请强拍，均由会德丰地产提出申请，以扩大其跑马地重建版图，最新一宗为安美大厦目前持有逾85%业权，市场估值5.2亿；发展商指，未来将整合发展，以重建为豪宅项目，涉及可建总楼面逾15万方呎。

梁志坚：将重建为豪宅

会德丰地产主席梁志坚回覆查询时指，未来上述项将整合发展，届时将会重建为豪宅项目。

近年会德丰地产积极扩大跑马地併购版图，近日连环申请强拍黄泥涌道一系列相连地段的旧楼以统一业权发展，最新一宗为安美大厦，目前持有约85.6%业权，现餘下8个单位并未成功收购，包括7个住宅单位及1个商铺，其中住宅单位市场估值约597万至1448万，而商铺估值约560万，市场对整个项目估值5.2252亿。

据土地审裁处文件显示，安美大厦位于黄泥涌道63及65号，位于跑马地黄泥涌道及云地利道的豪宅地段，毗邻马场，落成后料不少单位可享马场景色；同时邻近铜锣湾核心商业地段，极具重建价值。

现址为一幢楼高13层的商住旧楼，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅楼层，该旧楼早于1971落成入伙，至今楼龄约51年。文件显示，项目地盘面积5172方呎，目前坐落于「住宅 (甲类)」地带，若以地积比率9倍发展，涉及可建总楼面约46548方呎。

3地盘合併可建15.4万呎

事实上，该公司积极扩展跑马地版图，上述旧楼毗邻的愉华大厦、翠景楼日前已向土地审裁处申请强拍，前者申请强拍时持有约80.59%业权，市场对整个项目估值6.1124亿；后者翠景楼申请强拍时持有约83.33%业权，而市场对整个项目估值7.0681亿。上述3个地盘合併发展，地盘面积扩展至17191方呎，若以地积比率9倍重建发展，涉及可建总楼面约154719方呎。

除上述项目外，会德丰地产伙拍培新集团、于今年3月透过强拍途径，以底价17.32亿，成功统一云地利大厦旧楼业权。上述地盘面积约17595方呎，现时规划为「住宅 (乙类) 6」用途，若以地积比率约5倍重建发展计，预计可建总楼面约87975方呎，以上述强拍价计算，每呎楼面地价约19687元。当时发展商指将尽快开展相关程序如申请拆卸物业等，预计项目最快于3年或以后推出市场。项目位于跑马地黄泥涌道及云地利道的豪宅地段，落成后料不少单位可享马场景色。

深水埗海坛街旧楼获批强拍

另外，由财团持有的深水埗海坛街227B至227C号旧楼，最新获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价为1.2亿，对比去年4月申请强拍时市场估值约1.0013亿高出1987万或19.8%。上述旧楼现址为一幢楼高6层的商住物业，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅，并于1960年落成，至今楼龄约62年。上述地盘面积约2322方呎，若以9倍地积比率作商住发展，涉及可建总楼面约20898方呎。

啟德跑道区2用地 保留作商业用

近年商业气氛受创，啟德一带陆续有商业地流标收场，政府遂于去年表示有意将区内5幅商业地改划成住宅，以提供约6,000伙住宅，但城规会最终于上周决定，保留当中位于跑道区的2幅商业用地，即约138万平方呎商业楼面获保留。

改划啟德5幅商业地的计划早前受阻，城规会随后于6月否决其中2幅位于跑道区商业地的改划建议。上周会方再审议有关保留该2幅用地作商业用途的申述及意见，并表示拒绝接纳相关反对申述，意味2幅用地将获保留作商业之用，住宅供应最终会减少约1,720伙。是次2幅获保留的用地分别为4C区4号及5号用地，比邻啟德邮轮码头，其总楼面分别涉约79.4万平方呎及58.2万平方呎。

2商业地 料供应138万呎楼面

事实上，啟德一带的商业地发展可谓一波三折，上述2幅用地均曾于2019年连环流标，当中4C区4号用地原于2019年5月由高银投得，其后遭集团在同年6月挞订，而第2度招标后，最终亦于同年9月流标。至于4C区5号用地则早于2019年1月，因为发展商出价未达政府底价而同样流标收场。

但是，观乎整个啟德区发展，区内的商业配套日渐成熟，预计今年至2024年，将有4个大型商业及体育项目落成，为该区新增约400万平方呎商业楼面。前述的4个项目较近港铁啟德站，当中规模较大的南丰旗下商业地标项目 AIRSIDE，预料于今年第4季正式开幕，总楼面逾191万平方呎，总投资额达320亿元。

AIRSIDE 预计第4季开幕

同样属大型商业项目、早于2016年由利福国际  (01212) 以约73.88亿元投得的啟德第1E区2号商业地，亦拟发展2幢楼高18至19层高的双子塔式商厦，并设4层地库，其中1幢则发展为大型百货公司崇光 (SOGO) 分店，总楼面逾109万平方呎，其中9成楼面作零售用途，而项目将会在明年紧接推出。

此外，远东发展 (00035( 于2019年以约24.46亿元夺得的承啟道商业地，将发展为酒店及写字楼，供约400个酒店房间，及12层高 (计入地库) 的写字楼及零售商厦，涉及总楼面约34.4万平方呎，料于2024年落成。项目的办公室部分早前以约33.8亿元出售予中电 (00002) ，将成集团的新总部。而啟德体育园亦将提供约64.6万平方呎的零售及餐饮设施，早前日式百货公司AEON已宣布承租啟德体育园铺位9年，涉及金额约3,730万元。

9间发展商共同打造

上述9间发展商包括华懋集团、帝国集团、中国海外 (00688)、远东发展 (00035)、恒地 (00012)、嘉华国际 (00173)、新世界发展 (00017)、新地 (00016)及会德丰地产。他们均在跑道区分别以独资或合资形式持有9幅用地，涉逾万伙住宅，总楼面达636万平方呎，佔整个跑道区单位总数逾8成。

跑道区属前啟德国际机场的跑道部分，三面环海，翻查资料，政府近年在跑道区合共批出11幅用地，涉及逾700万平方呎楼面。早前有份参与的发展商亦透露，将藉此与政府相关部门、区内持份者及NGO沟通，合作举办休閒及慈善活动。至于交通方面，目前正争取在PARK PENINSULA每一个项目设有穿梭巴士往返港铁站，方案日后或有机会落实。

CIFI changes course for a $1.3b sale

CIFI (0884) switched its plan to sell its property at No 101 and 111 King's Road to Wang On Properties (1243) and APG Strategic Real Estate Pool for HK$1.34 billion instead of three of its major shareholders.

The deal could bring a gain of HK$21.8 million to CIFI. The net proceeds from the disposal amounted to HK$681 million after estimated expenses, and will be used as general working capital.

The Chinese developer bought the previous Sing Pao Building and its parking lot for HK$1.88 billion in 2018. The building is under demolition and will be redeveloped into a residential project with commercial space, which is expected to be completed in 2026.

It planned to sell 60 percent equity of the property to its major shareholders but later sold all the interests to Wang On Properties and APG Strategic Real Estate Pool.

Meanwhile, CIFI's contracted sales dropped 6.46 percent monthly to 15.06 billion yuan (HK$16.99 billion) in August, while the sold gross floor area slid 11 percent to 1.01 million square meters from a month ago.

Among the new applicants, Henderson Land Development's (0012) phase 2 and 3 of One Innovale in Fan Ling will offer 408 and 565 flats respectively, data from the Lands Department showed.

The department also approved three projects involving 2,305 flats in August, up by 42.3 percent from the previous month.

Newly approved projects include phase 2 of a residential project at 15 Shing Fung Road in Kai Tak, co-developed by K Wah International (0173), Wheelock Properties and China Overseas Land & Investment (0688) and providing 1,221 flats.

Meanwhile, 1,131 private homes were completed in July in the city, up by 25.4 percent from the previous month, the Rating and Valuation Department said.

The total number of private homes completed in the first seven months was 13,195, accounting for 57.7 percent of the government's estimate of 22,851 homes.

In urban renewal projects, the Urban Renewal Authority has invited developers to submit bids for Wing Kwong Street and Sung On Street Development project in To Kwa Wan, which had attracted 31 expressions of interest.

Li-Ning, Dior among luxury brands flocking to Canton Road in ‘iconic’ Tsim Sha Tsui with eye on Hong Kong’s borders reopening

Tsim Sha Tsui is an iconic business district, says Li-Ning, which is paying HK$2 million a month for a new 7,000 sq ft flagship store on Canton Road

Tsim Sha Tsui ‘a great location for brands to make a statement to the market’: property consultant

Tsim Sha Tsui’s Canton Road – once buzzing with tourists – has over the past two years become largely deserted, as the border between Hong Kong and mainland China remained closed to stem the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

In recent months, however, this retail haven has been showing signs of recovery, with Chinese and western brands choosing the district for flagship stores or the expansion of their current foot print despite the continued absence of tourists.

There are several likely reasons for this: landlords have become more flexible with lease terms; retailers are anticipating the reopening of Hong Kong’s border; and brands are tapping the local population, which is willing to spend more on luxury items given that the city’s current quarantine requirements discourage them from travel.

Li-Ning, China’s biggest sportswear maker, for instance, is leasing a 7,000 sq ft shop on Canton Road for HK$2 million (US$254,827) a month, 70 per cent lower than the previous tenant’s lease, according to local media. The store in Silvercord, 30 Canton Road, will be Li-Ning’s first flagship store in Hong Kong and is expected to open this year.

“Tsim Sha Tsui is an iconic business district in Hong Kong,” a Li-Ning spokesman said on Tuesday. The Li-Ning Hong Kong Canton Road flagship will allow local consumers to “fully experience Li-Ning’s professionalism in sports products and services, and better understand our brand philosophy of ‘anything is possible’,” he added.

In 2018, before anti-government protests engulfed the city and triggered a decline in the number of tourists visiting Hong Kong, and before the coronavirus pandemic upended tourism, mainland Chinese visitors spent HK$7,029 each per trip. They made up more than three quarters of Hong Kong’s visitors that year and were considered the lifeblood of the retail industry. Tourism has contributed an estimated 32 per cent of the city’s services output in recent years, up from 21 per cent in 2003.

“Brands choose Tsim Sha Tsui for expansion mainly because the market is anticipating the reopening of borders in the near future,” a property agent said. “This is also a great location for brands to make a statement to the market.”

When the border with China reopens, Tsim Sha Tsui – only about a seven-minute taxi ride away from West Kowloon station, the sole station in Hong Kong for the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link – might be a likely first stop for mainland Chinese tourists.

While all of Hong Kong’s popular retail districts have seen a decline in rents, the Tsim Sha Tsui area is arguably the worst affected by the absence of tourists.

Since 2019, when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, rents in the district have declined by 40 per cent, according to the property consultancy. According to another property consultancy, prime street shop rents in Tsim Sha Tsui fell 32 per cent in 2019, 25 per cent in 2020 and 6.1 per cent last year. As of the second quarter of this year, shop rents were flat.

But things might be looking up for Tsim Sha Tsui.

Harbour City, which is Hong Kong’s largest shopping centre and is located on Canton Road, is set to open about 100 new stores, including those of European luxury brands, by the end of the year. So far, it has opened more than 70 stores including Hong Kong’s largest Dior shop with nearly 10,000 sq ft across two floors of the mall. A Miu Miu speciality store also launched on Canton Road this year.

Another newcomer is Casa Loewe’s only store in Hong Kong, which spans 5,000 sq ft across two floors. Other brands such as Patek Philippe, Breitling, A. Lange & Sohne, Lanvin, Parisine and Malin+Goetz have also opened stores in the shopping centre this year.

“Harbour City has consistently strengthened its tenancy mix with world-famous brands, which have brought growth in footfall and car park utilisation,” said a spokesman for the mall. “As a result, in January to August, Harbour City’s footfall and car park utilisation on weekends and holidays increased by over 10 per cent compared to last year.”

Swiss and French luxury jewellers Piaget and Van Cleef & Arpels will also open stores at Harbour City later this year and the next, respectively.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong retail sales rose 4.1 per cent in July to HK$28.3 billion, provisional figures from the government show. In June, the sales of jewellery, watches, clocks and valuable gifts – considered the luxury category – rose 2.3 per cent from a year ago, according to the Census and Statistics Department.

市建局历来规模最大的单一重建项目，观塘市中心第4和第5发展区「巨无霸」商业项目，昨日截收意向，合共接获24份意向书，除大型发展商之外，亦吸引多家中型财团。

市建局表示，该局董事会设立遴选小组，将会按照订定的入围準则，就发展商项目发展经验及财政能力，从收到意向书中，挑选符合资格发展商，并将根据董事会已批准主要招标条款，邀请入围发展商，提交合作发展标书。

该项目将兴建一个地标式、综合政府设施及商业发展的建筑群，不但增加观塘核心地段的民生和经济活力，亦为市中心营造社区节点和连接周边的门户，作为九龙东新地标。项目亦将提供政府、机构或社区设施楼面，以及大型休憩空间供市民享用，改善地区整体环境。

据现场所见及综合市场消息，多家本地大型和中型发展商都有递交意向书，包括长实、新地、恒基、信和、会德丰地产、鹰君、华懋、远东发展、中国海外，另有多家不知名财团。

有测量师表示，由于项发展规模大，涉及投资额十分大，地价连同建筑费及其他支出，估计投资额高达逾300亿，相信大型发展商及财团才会积极入标。综合市场估值介乎约184.1亿至259.9亿，每呎楼面地价由8500至12000元。

估值约184.1亿至259.9亿

另一测量师指出，项目规模及投资额大，估计最终只有3至4个财团入标；参考东九龙写字楼呎租约25元至28元，个别优质物业能逾30元，项目估计数年后落成，届时合理呎租约40元水平。

观塘市中心项目是市建局历来规模最大的单一重建项目，以五个区域分阶段发展，该项目为最后一个发展区域，地盘27.56万方呎，可建总楼面约216.59万方呎。

可建总楼面216.59万呎

为应对持续疫情及市况，市建局在该项目标书将试行「浮动规划参数安排」，容许成功取得本项目的发展商及财团，在总楼面保持不变前提下，调拨指定范围内商业楼面面积作办公、酒店和其他商业用途；当中，商业楼面不可少于69.966万方呎，需设于低层楼层，以保持项目位处观塘区策略性位置的「市中心」特色。

该项目早前向城规会提交修订申请，调整酒店、写字楼及商业零售组合比例，增加项目弹性，当中酒店部分不设楼面下限至最多34.44万方呎，意味中标财团可选择不兴建酒店或最多提供400间酒店客房。写字楼部分则修订为70.89万至137.37万方呎，最后商业用途楼面 (商店及服务行业、食肆、娱乐场所及教育机构)，则修订为69.97万方呎至102万方呎。

「环保」甲厦受捧空置率处偏低水平

当今社会较过往更讲环保，尤其疫市下，健康生活成为大眾追求目标， 有代理指出，近年不论发展商起楼，大机构承租物业，焦点都放在「环保」商厦，期待物业在省电，排废等环保方面达到水平，令用家拥有健康的工作环境。

有代理表示，近年来，「环保」甲厦盛行，截至今年7月，通过环评认证的甲厦总实用面积达2830万方呎，佔甲厦总供应量38%，该类型商厦更受捧，空置率因而较普通甲厦低4.3个百分点。受发展商及用家追捧，在新供应方面，70%原定于2022年竣工的甲厦，已获临时认证，料明年更飆升至81%。

空置率低4.3个百分点

「环保」商厦建筑成本并非特别高，另有代理解释，环保在于投入心思及策划，令物业更节能 (节省水电)，空气流通，管理妥善，只要好好加以策划，建筑成本并不因而提高；近年，亦有业主重新打造现有已落成的商厦，加入环保元素，那麼，视乎不同的个案，费用大约为建筑费的5%至20%。

「环保」商厦受客户追捧，有大型保险公司由核心区迁观塘，为响应环保，并订下在2024年前达致炭中和的目标。

另一代理指出，未来商厦供应庞大，租户选择多，业主寻求不同途径挽留及吸引租户，环保成为吸客元素，尤其疫市下大家更注重健康。

根据代理行资料，截至今年7月，整体甲厦空置率攀升至11.3%，自2008金融海啸以来最高，2022至2026年将有约1500万方呎全新供应，业主可透过环保，提高其物业的竞争力。

财团申强拍旺角两旧楼

由财团併购的旺角联业楼、东安楼最新向土地审裁处申请强拍，以统一业权发展，目前平均持有逾93%业权，市场估值逾1.76亿。

据土地审裁处文件显示，联业楼位于利业街11及13号，而东安楼则位于利业街15号，由一家名为恒亚投资公司向该处申请强拍，前者联业楼持有约92.86%业权，后者东安楼则持有约95%业权，两幢旧楼计平均持有约93.93%业权，整个项目市场估值约1.7619亿。

市场估值逾1.7亿

联业楼现址为一幢6层物业，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅楼层，楼龄约50年。东安楼则为一幢9层高物业，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅楼层，楼龄约51年。

项目位处油麻地、旺角商业地段，具重建价值，步行前往港铁油麻地站约6分鐘步程，上址地盘面积5033方呎，坐落于「住宅 ( 甲类)」地带，若以地积比率8.5倍发展，涉及可建总楼面约42781方呎。连同上述项目，土地审裁处今年迄今共录20宗强拍申请个案，已超过去年全年16宗，并多出4宗。

另外，由The Development Studio创办人兼主席简基富 (Keith Kerr) 旗下湾仔坚尼地道33至35号项目，早年申建75伙住宅方案今年初遭城规会拒绝后；该公司今年中「捲土重来」、并维持原有其发展参数再向城规会申请放宽8.3%高限，以建一幢楼高28层的住宅，以提供75个住宅单位，可建总楼面约61624方呎不变；最新获规划署不反对，城规会将于周五 (9日) 举行会议审议时，料会「开绿灯」通过。

跑马地旧楼掀财团併购热 群雄「争土储」 至少7项目将重建豪宅

市区豪宅地皮新供应罕有，近年跑马地旧楼顿成财团收购对象，目前已知至少有5个财团在区内「插旗」发展，涉及7个併购中或已完成併购的项目，另有2个现楼新盘仍在销售当中，令区内形成群雄割据新局面；会德丰地产最瞩目涉4个项目。

近年市区优质地皮供应，不少财团透过併购旧楼增土储，据本报统计，区内有不少财团进行併购，已知至少有5个财团「插旗」，当中最瞩目为会德丰地产密密扩展其区内版图发展，日前接连向土地审裁处申请强拍翠景楼、愉华大厦及安美大厦三幢旧楼，总市场估值逾18.4亿，若上述3个地盘合併发展，地盘面积扩展至17191方呎，以地积比率9倍重建发展计，涉及可建总楼面约154719方呎。

会德丰持4项目最瞩目

除上述项目外，会德丰地产伙拍培新集团于今年3月以底价17.32亿，成功统一云地利道15号云地利大厦业权；该项目地盘面积约17595方呎，可建总楼面约87975方呎。

另外，亦有财团于区内「插旗」密密併购项目，如同区礼顿道2及2A号及黄泥涌道161至173号一系列旧楼，早于2019年起获财团併购，当中黄泥涌道167号馨阁7个单位，总作价超过2亿。据指，总地盘面积约1万方呎，可建总楼面约9万方呎。

恒隆蓝塘道洋房套现逾25亿

除併购的项目外，亦不乏已完成併购的项目，其中，培新集团去年曾斥资约12.399亿购入大坑道341至343号住宅项目雅居，以上述物业总楼面面积约1.8万方呎计算，平均呎价收购高达6.9万；当时该公司曾指，计画将上述项目重建发展为低密度住宅。 另外，同区亦有不少豪宅新盘仍积极销售当中，恒隆持有的蓝塘道23至39号现楼洋房项目，共提供18座洋房，迄今已售出8座洋房，合共套现逾25亿。

远中集团旗下Eight Kwai Fong Happy Valley，迄今共售出32伙，套现逾4.1亿。

观塘中海日升中心低层 每呎叫价2万

观塘区成功打造成九龙新商贸区，续有新兴写字楼陆续进驻区内，而不足10年楼龄的中海日升中心，罕有交吉放售。

有代理表示，观塘中海日升中心近日有低层单位罕有交吉放售，单位面积约1,426平方呎，业主现意向价约2,852万元，平均呎价约20,000元。

内部间隔四正 邻近港铁站

中海日升中心于2015年落成，楼高35层，设有豪华冷气大堂，地下至2楼设有10多间食肆，3楼至9楼则为停车场，商厦单位内部间隔四正，用途多元化，由于大厦配套完善，食肆商铺为大厦带来人流及消费力，故一直深受用家欢迎，低层商铺空置率长期维持低水平。

另外其位置亦见优越，坐落于骏业街核心工商业地段，比邻城东誌二座-友邦九龙大厦及城东誌一座-安盛金融大楼等东九龙地标商厦，属区内甲级商厦之一，位置优越，距离港铁观塘站仅5分鐘步程，附近备有多条巴士綫往返港九、新界各区，交通极为便利。加上物业邻近区内大型商场apm及观塘广场等，配套一应俱全。

该代理续指，近年观塘区发展迅速，在铁路效应带动下，增加区内物业的升值潜力，商业气氛更加浓厚，加上周边大型商业项目相继落成，观塘区内的工商物业受注目程度大增，不少旧楼成为发展商及财团积极收购的对象，区内发展前景绝对不容忽视。

Kwun Tong job gets 24 expressions of interest

The Urban Renewal Authority's Kwun Tong town center redevelopment project's areas four and five, which have introduced flexibility in plot ratios in shaping a building complex with government facilities and commercial operations, has received 24 expressions of interest.

The Kwun Tong spread is the URA's largest-ever single redevelopment project spread across five areas.

The last phases of the redevelopment cover 25,595 square meters. Upon completion there can be a maximum total gross floor area of 201,220 square meters.

The authority initiated what it calls "floating planning parameters" in the tender of the project.

Under this arrangement, the total gross floor area is unchanged but flexibility will be given to the successful developer or consortium to determine the actual areas within specified ranges for office, hotel and other commercial uses.

It has also been noted when it comes to flexibility the Planning Department did not object to a plan for building 75 flats on Kennedy Road.

That project at 33-35 Kennedy Road, which is owned by Keith Kerr, a former chairman of Swire Properties (1972), had applied for the redevelopment to a 28-story residential building.

In the primary market, Miami Quay I at Kai Tak will launch its first round sale with 138 units next Monday. There will be 137 flats on the price list, and one will be sold via tender.

Dah Sing Bank (2356) has meanwhile raised the mortgage rate cap by 0.2 percentage points to 2.85 percent, which takes the number of banks in Hong Kong that have raised the mortgage rate cap to 10.

But Bank of China Hong Kong (2388) and Hang Seng Bank (0011) have not raised the cap.

A property agency said that Hong Kong home prices fell 2.4 percent in the second quarter, making it 145th in the world in the property price trend ranking.

Yet despite the weak performance of residential property prices in Hong Kong there has not been a significant fall in prices due to headwinds such as interest rate hikes and a rebound from the pandemic, agent said.

On the commercial property front, another agent said that the vacancy rate of Grade A offices reached 11 percent as of July - the highest since 2008 - because social unrest and the pandemic had affected Hong Kong's economy during the past three years.

And in the overseas property market, Chinachem Group bought the London headquarters of social media company TikTok for 158.5 million pounds (HK$1.41 billion) yesterday.

疫市下大手买卖畅旺，九龙湾高银金融国际中心于上月底截标后，多名準买家积极竞投，该全幢即将「名花有主」，本报获悉，发展商南丰出价最积极，高达65亿，夺标呼声最高，预期两个星期内落实交易，将成为今年最大宗买卖，平均呎价7629元。

九龙湾高银金融国际中心放售多时，去年曾经「成功」出售，却未如期成交，令市场哗然，该幢传奇商厦，今年5月再度推出招标，上月底截标后，近日进入终极角逐，多家财团决心在疫市下执平货，纷向代理出价，更有的直接与项目接管人德意志银行接洽。市场消息透露，该项目接获出价最低近61亿至65亿，当中发展商南丰极具诚意，出价高达65亿，拋离其他对手，现阶段正就交易细节与德意志银行洽商，并计画两个星期内签署合约。

洽商细节 预期两周内签约

据知情人士续指，由于该项目涉资庞大，釐印费不是小数目，买方率先研究能否买公司，若然不可行，最后会买卖物业，该项目将成为今年以来最大宗买卖，以总楼面82.5万方呎，平均呎价7629元。有代理形容，属于吸引价，亦见证了财团趁疫市吸纳优质盘源。

南丰钟情东九龙，亦是区内大地主之一，瞩目一役为2017年5月，夺取啟德1F区2号商业地王，作价246亿，当时是卖地史上最高的造价，项目亦即将落成集商厦与商场的地标项目 AIRSIDE，提供逾191万呎楼面。

呎价7629元 料回报4.7厘

有代理指出，高银金融国际中心写字楼平均呎租约30元，回报甚高 (4.7厘)，该厦位处单边，建筑具特色，里外都特别阔落，况且，九龙湾商厦租户都是大公司，在此设立后勤部门，区内规划佳，街道不塞车，未来发展潜力看高一綫。

高银金融国际中心原由潘苏通旗下高银金融持有作总部，近两年潘苏通陷入财困，该全幢于2020年9月，被接管人委託标售，估值高逾120亿，同年10月，高银金融高调公布以143亿向商人FONG Tim出售物业，两个月后更传出物业以逾140亿易手。

不过，物业最终未如期成交，而且再次被接管，今年5月，由外资代理行招标，当时全幢物业市值逾100亿。该厦位于啟祥道17号，高银金融合组财团于2011年以约34.32亿投得，2016年落成。

分布湾仔油麻地等区

另一全幢为油麻地新填地街293至295号，地盘面积约1750方呎，地下为商铺，1楼至8楼为住宅，总楼面约10630方呎，意向价约1.6亿，项目经旺角行人天桥连接西九龙、奥海城及旺角商业区。以上两项物业皆为单一业权，可整合作重建。

银行接管湾仔中国恒大中心 再安排出售

市值80亿至90亿 较2015年购入价跌逾3成

内房危机持续，近月出现财困问题的内房恒大 (03333)，早前标售湾仔中国恒大中心全幢商厦，惟消息指，银行已经接管该商厦，预计日后将会再安排出售，项目市值约80亿至90亿元。

据外电报道，中国恒大债务爆煲后，继集团位于元朗和生围的「皇宫屋」地皮发展项目遭债权人接管后，据公司註册处资料显示，在9月6日，持有湾仔中国恒大中心的项目公司 Pioneer Time Investment Limited 最新一份递交存档文件为「委任接管人或经理人通知书」。

换言之，该项目或亦遭债权人申请接管。市场人士预计，不排除项目短期内再由银主安排出售，估计项目市值约80至90亿元，预计较2015年购入价，跌逾3成。

总楼面34.5万呎 出租率逾8成

早于今年中，恒大委託测量师行，标售其总部大厦中国恒大中心，并于7月初截标。当时长实 (01113) 确认入标，最终项目未有售出。物业坐落于湾仔告士打道，恒大于2015年以125亿元购入自用，近一年多集团遇上财困，有需要出售资产以套现。现时大厦出租率逾8成，除了恒大自用楼面外，亦有保险等租户。

去年8月，当时传出中国恒大积极套现，拟出售湾仔总部中国恒大中心，市值料逾百亿元，更传出获国企越秀地产以约100亿元洽购，并洽谈至最后阶段。

惟去年10月，消息指越秀董事会最终否决有关建议，因忧虑恒大尚未解决的债务问题，最终退出收购。

事实上，近两年疫情冲击商业气氛，再加上息口预计向上，商厦价格近一年明显有所回调，相信现时物业市值已回落，涉约80亿至90亿元，按总楼面34.5万平方呎计，呎价约2.3万至2.6万元。

近两年因商业市道受冲击，大型全幢商厦沦为银主盘，个别于市场进行放售。九龙湾高银金融国际中心早前被接管人委託推出招标，并在8月底完成次轮招标。市场消息指，项目获数个财团竞投，个别出价贴近意向价，有望短期内售出。

高银金融国际中心银主盘 料短期售出

该项目总楼面达85.2万平方呎，消息指，有财团出价逾60亿元，呎价约7,000餘元，若最终落实，呎价远低于同区甲厦约3至4成。翻查资料，该厦由潘苏通旗下高银金融 (00530) 持有，早年购入地皮并发展成集团总部，惟近年潘苏通陷入财困，高银金融国际中心2020年9月曾被接管人委託标售，其后更公布售出，惟最终未有完成交易。

据了解，就上述项目申请强拍的申请人过往曾多次为新世界 (00017) 收购旧楼，故不排除背后财团为新世界或相关人士。

Evergrande's HQ seized

China Evergrande's (3333) Hong Kong headquarters has been seized by a lender after failing to sell the building twice due to its default on loans, the Financial Times reported yesterday.

The report came as the winding-up petition hearing of the debt-burdened developer was adjourned again to November 28, Hong Kong's High Court said yesterday.

Meanwhile, in China's embattled property sector, the city of Zhengzhou vowed to start building all stalled housing projects within 30 days, by making good use of special loans, asking developers to return misappropriated funds and encouraging some real-estate firms to file for bankruptcy. The local government required about 60 real estate companies to continue the construction of 72 suspended projects no later than early October, and to hire third-party auditors to account for the balance of funds.

有代理行指出，上月录约1564宗工商铺租务，宗数与7月份月相若，按年跌17%，市场观望气氛浓厚。

根据该行统计，8月份工商铺总金额约1.11亿，按月则增加约14%，不过，对比去年8月递减约9%。金额升，受惠工厦及商铺带动，尤其工厦价量齐升，反映企业看好工厦前景。

宗数按年跌17%

该代理行认为，近日疫情反覆，确诊人数增加，加上环球经济未见明朗，租赁趋淡静，随着今年10月将公布《施政报告》及举行中共全国代表大会，市场期待有重大政策出台，对租务有起动作用。

写字楼表现最差，8月共录约421宗租赁成交，按年急减约三成；金额约3394万，较上月微跌外，按年递减约15%。工厦租务价量齐升，8月录约751宗成交，金额约2746万，宗数及金额分别较7月份升约6%及约40%。

「两大重点」决定后市

铺市量跌价升，8月约392宗，按月跌约8%，按年跌约21%；金额约5045万，按月升约15%，与比去年相比下跌约8%。最影响工商铺为通关，「3+4」隔离措施是通关第一步，相信进一步安排将于10月19日实施。

该行又指出，两大重点决定后市，相信《施政报告》提出政治、民生及经济政策，以刺激经济及消费，解决民生问题为大前提。10月16日举行的中共全国代表大会，料谈及香港管治政策，与政治及经济前景息息相关，届时前景将更清晰，加上零售及餐饮业需为圣诞新年档期部署，料带动租务交投。

(星岛日报)

代理行：上月甲厦空置率录9.9%

甲厦空置率未有改善，8月份整体甲厦空置率录9.9%，较7月份的9.8%微升0.1个百分点，当中尖沙嘴空置率最新升至8.7%，继7月份后，再次创2020年6月有纪录以来新高。相比起7月份，湾仔/铜锣湾是唯一空置率有改善地区，甲厦空置率由8%下跌至7.3%。

甲厦租金按月升0.8%

本港疫情持续反覆，市场观望气氛浓厚，甲乙厦售价均窄幅上落，整体甲厦售价上月按月跌0.8%，整体乙厦售价则按月升1.7%。

有代理表示，虽然疫情阴霾未过，但商厦价格早已大幅回调，带动大手买卖，相信最坏时刻已过。加上近日多名社会上具地位的政商界人士，均发声促请通关，港府正与内地商讨「逆隔离」安排，令市场憧憬进一步放宽入境检疫隔离要求，甚至全面恢復通关带来曙光，相信若有关措施落实，跨国企业对写字楼租赁需求更加明确，有利商厦市场。

代理又指出，写字楼租金轻微向上，甲厦租金8月份按月升0.8%，但今年以来仍累积挫4.1%。整体乙厦租金则轻微向下，按月跌0.8%。

疫市下，核心商业区仍录大手买卖，较瞩目的为汤臣集团以约1.93亿购入金鐘海富中心二座 13楼全层，呎价约1.8万，创该厦近八年来呎价新低。另外，上海商业总会以1.2亿购入中环南华大厦7楼全层，成交价约1.1亿，呎价约2.9万元，创该厦历来呎价新高。

中环云咸街铺呎租84元跌33% 重返13年前水平 特色餐厅进驻

疫市下核心区租金大跌，食肆趁势插旗建据点，中环云咸街一个巨铺，由特色餐厅进驻，月租30万，并锁定五年梗约，平均呎租84元，该铺位旧租客亦是食肆，新租金较旧租跌逾37%。

上址为云咸街54至60号中央广场地下3号铺，建筑面积3546方呎，由食肆承租，起初两年入场月租28万，第三年之后加租，计及加租幅度，五年平均月租大约30万，新租客为特色食肆，市场人士指为韩式餐厅，旧租客为美式扒房El gaucho，月租逾45万，新租金较旧租下跌逾33%。上述巨铺业主为发展商信和，多年来一直持有收租。

业内人士指，中环以皇后大道中为「主要干道」，云咸街最接近皇后大道中，聚集高级食肆，挡次较威灵顿街更高，云咸街铺位面积亦相对较大，虽然在疫市下，受冲击理应亦大，只是铺位多数由大业主持有，由于极具实力，租金减幅未如其他核心区，以上述铺位最新租金，大约重返2009年前水平。

平均月租30万

有代理表示，由该宗租赁可见食肆对后市有信心，趁现时租金下跌时租铺，事实上，现时，市面上各食肆，在经历两年多疫市后，纷纷在开源节流及运作流程，下功夫作出调整，找到生存空间。

在疫市下，食肆成为铺市的主要租客，中环核心区商厦林立，消费力强，吸纳高挡食府在此设据点，部分食肆更闯出名堂。

锁定五年长约

该代理又说，食肆趁租金下跌，在核心区铺位插旗，博市况反弹復甦，零售商铺位装修相对地简单，食肆则需要投入更多成本，除了更复杂的装修外，还需要添置生财工具，回本期较长，因此，他们倾向签署3年以上租约，部分租约更长至7年不等。

代理续表示，过往，食肆钟情大楼面铺位，近年则趋向追求细铺，近年，大型酒店难做，不少老闆放弃固有的传统经营模式，将业务重新包装，走多元化路綫，倾向承租细铺位经营，目前，市场上最普遍的食肆铺位为约1000方呎至5000方呎，1000呎或以下主攻外卖，1000至3000呎做堂食较为普遍，部分连锁食肆讲求规模，钟情面积至4000至5000方呎的铺位。

其中观塘悦品海景酒店位于伟业街，前身为丽东酒店，楼高31层，提供598间房，类型包括豪宅客房、家庭客房等，面积由200至400平方呎，属观塘区内罕有大型酒店，目前暂作检疫酒店之用。据了解，酒店以约24.7亿元易手，平均每房价值约413万元。铺王邓成波于2017年，斥23亿元向恒地 (00012) 购入酒店，持货5年转手，帐面获利约1.7亿元。

旺角旭逸酒店 每房价值367万

另一项酒店为旺角旭逸酒店，位于砵兰街，提供199间房，包括标準及豪华客房，面积由100餘平方呎起，高层客房更享维港海景。物业位于油尖旺核心地段，故适合自由行旅客入住，目前亦作检疫酒店用途。

消息称，旺角旭逸酒店以7.3亿元成交，平均每房价值366.8万元。铺王邓成波于2018年，以11亿元向英皇购入酒店，持货4年转手，家族蚀约3.7亿元。

现邓成波家族沽出两项酒店物业，套现约32亿元，录得约2亿元亏蚀离场。

该家族今年相继出售大型酒店，包括年初以14.2亿元沽出荃湾汀兰居酒店，蚀约2.6亿元离场。消息称，新买家同为Weave Living。

事实上，Weave Living今年积极入市，包括月初以2.75亿元，伙拍基金购入半山罗便臣道68号全幢住宅。翻查资料，未计是次收购，Weave Living今年已于香港和新加坡收购合共4个物业，现时在两地持有共10个物业，提供约1,500个住宿单位，包括年初斥13.75亿元购入大角咀九龙珀丽酒店。

相信是次购入两项酒店，将一如以往伙拍外资基金作投资。据估计，由于市场憧憬年尾通关，相信集团把握机会购入酒店，日后既可迎接旅客重返，或可作全幢服务式住宅作收租。

新港中心租户重组 冀带动人流

憧憬通关，核心区商场亦进行新部署。尖沙咀新港中心正进行租户重组及提升，希望引入新租户，以带动人流。

新港中心位于尖沙咀广东道，属传统零售核心地段，以往商铺甚为抢手。惟疫情持续两年多，旅客跌至极少，令不少零售商撤出核心区。以新港中心为例，今年先后有品牌弃租复式铺位，令目前该商场空置率上升。据悉，商场现时总楼面约25万平方呎，而个别楼层空置楼面偏多，此外，地下面向广东道的复式旗舰店，目前仍待租。

李寧200万租复式铺 租跌7成

随着近期本港放宽检疫措施，「3+4」新方案下，预计通关有望在年内发生，而零售商亦憧憬生意有转机，加上租金回调，近期重回核心区。尖沙咀新港中心录得一宗大手铺位租务成交，涉及地下及1楼复式铺位，约200万元租出，成为今年核心区最大额租务成交。新租客为内地运动服装李寧，近日铺外已贴上品牌标誌，预计第四季开设本港首间旗舰店。该铺地下面积5,243平方呎，1楼建筑面积2,443平方呎，原由连锁金行周生生 (00116) 自2005年开始承租，月租高达700万元。如今李寧以约200万元承租，租金下跌约逾7成。

整体零售气氛有望向好，业主亦作出部署，为商场注入新元素。华创建投资产管理高级经理谢子欣指出，现时集团旗下新港中心多层楼面铺位，正进行租户重组及提升。她指，留意到近年很多大型时装品牌亦进行收缩，品牌大手租数万平方呎巨铺情况较少，有见及此，商场内个别大型时装品牌撤出后，将把铺位重新分间，如一个3万多平方呎铺位，原由时装店租用，迁出后现意向招揽其他新商户进驻，包括特色餐饮、人气商户等，并以增强人流为标。她提到，如近期商场引入李寧运动服装，将会售卖篮球鞋、羽毛球、瑜伽产品等，料可吸引一定人流。

新概念商户 成招揽对象

她亦提到，近年兴起一些结合娱乐、零售及餐饮的商户，让顾客可进行体验及消费，这些新概念的商户，亦正是招揽对象。租金方面，目前最细商铺由1,000至2,000平方呎起，意向呎租约80至100餘元起。

Kai Tak project kicks off sales

Miami Quay I, a new project in Kai Tak jointly developed by Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land (0012), New World Development (0017) and Empire Group Holdings, sold 42 flats yesterday.

The project launched the first round of sales yesterday, with 137 units on the price list and one unit to be sold by tender.

Ahead of the sales, the project had received 2,048 checks by Sunday, making the batch 14 times oversubscribed.

One customer spent HK$25.86 million to buy two flats - a three-bedroom unit with an area of 716 square feet and a one-bedroom unit with 315 sq ft - through an agency. The prices were HK$18.56 million for the three-bedroom unit and HK$7.3 million for the one-bedroom unit.

Another buyer purchased a three-bedroom flat for her family for more than HK$10 million.

Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu, an executive director of Wheelock Properties, said more flats may be put up for sale in the near future, depending on the sales progress of the first batch.

In the secondary market, transactions in 10 major housing estates rose over the long weekend with more sellers willing to cut their asking prices.

Over the weekend, another property agency saw the number of deals double week-on-week to a three-week high of 16, in addition to 19 deals over the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

The first agency, meanwhile, recorded 17 transactions, up by about 70 percent week-on-week, rising for two consecutive weeks and hitting a three-week high, in addition to 20 deals over the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

Agents said the secondary market performed better amid the gradual decline in property prices, improved sentiment and a dearth of new launches in the primary market.

On the other hand, rents for grade A offices dropped 4.1 percent for the first eight months this year during the persistent outbreaks of the pandemic in Hong Kong, the agency said.

August rents inched up 0.8 percent monthly and the vacancy rate of grade A offices reached 9.9 percent, up by 0.1 percent from 9.8 percent in July.

Dismal sales by Miami Quay shows Hong Kong’s home market is in a ‘depression’, expert says

Only about 30 per cent, or 41 of the 137 flats on sale at Miami Quay in Kai Tak have been sold

Besides a resurgence in Covid-19 infections, Hong Kong’s homeowners and potential buyers are also bracing for higher mortgage rates

Hong Kong’s housing market is in a “depression” according to one leading property expert, who pointed to poor sales at a prime new development in the city centre amid a backdrop of falling home prices, an interest rate upcycle and a new wave of Covid-19 infections.

Only about 30 per cent, or 41 of the 137 flats on sale at Miami Quay in Kai Tak have been sold, according to agents. Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land Development, New World Development and Empire Group priced the first 137 units of their Miami Quay flats at HK$23,250 per square foot on average after discounts earlier this month. The entry price was HK$5.24 million for a flat that measured 250 sq ft.

“The market is panicking amid rising interest rates and the pandemic. So it’s been much quieter,” agent said. “It is Hong Kong’s problem. The entire Hong Kong property market is in a depression.”

The agent cited a poor economic environment for his bleak outlook, which has pressured both the primary and secondary markets. The agent added that upcoming new launches would have to wait until the economy improves. “Whichever project launches [now] will fail,” the agent said.

Miami Quay caters mainly to middle-class buyers, who have been hit by the current economic downturn, the agent said. Currently, only projects with a lower price range of HK$3 million (US$382,220) to HK$5 million, similar to that of Home Ownership Scheme flats, will sell now, the agent added.

There is prevailing wait-and-see sentiment in the market, with heavy discounts required to facilitate transactions in the secondary market, another agent said.

“With the recent volatile stock market, sentiment is sour and [property] sales have been relatively low,” the agent said, who also cited the interest rate upcycle and higher Covid-19 infection numbers in the city.

The first phase of Miami Quay, comprising 648 flats in three tower blocks, is scheduled for completion next August. Together, its two phases will comprise 1,219 flats. As the second housing project to go on sale at the site of Hong Kong’s former runway, Miami Quay initially fetched 2,048 registrations of intent, which means 15 buyers competed for each flat.

The poor sales at Miami Quay come around 10 days after Wang On Properties launched its Larchwood micro-flats in western Mong Kok, with some as small as 181 sq ft and priced as low as HK$3.83 million. The developer sold 33 of the 83 homes on offer that day.

Aa lived-in home prices market index fell 0.8 per cent to 171.83 for the week ended September 4 – the lowest level since February 2019. The index has fallen 5.1 per cent over eight weeks and this fall may steepen, according to an agency.

Aside a resurgence in Covid-19 infections, Hong Kong’s homeowners and potential buyers are also bracing for higher mortgage rates after the US Federal Reserve’s rapid interest rate hikes this year to tame the fastest inflation in America in four decades.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the de facto central bank, has increased its base rate in lockstep due to the Hong Kong dollar’s linked exchange rate system with the US dollar.

Commercial site in Hong Kong’s arts hub West Kowloon tipped to fetch as much as US$1.3 billion in tender

The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority has put up for tender a 700,000 sq ft property to be developed into three commercial buildings

Sun Hung Kai Properties and Sino Land are likely bidders for the Artist Square Towers project, according to consultants

Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District Authority has put up for tender a 65,000 square metre (699,654 square foot) property to be developed into three commercial buildings with office, retail, dining and entertainment components.

The property could fetch a bid as high as HK$10.5 billion (US$1.3 billion), according to one valuation, given that Hong Kong’s tourism is likely to have recovered from its pandemic malaise by the time construction is complete in four to five years. Estimates put construction costs at HK$8 billion.

The project is a “landmark commercial development” to be dubbed the Artist Square Towers (AST) Project, according to the authority.

The plot is located at Artist Square in the West Kowloon Cultural District, a 40-hectare development touted as Hong Kong’s arts and cultural hub. The property lies close to facilities including the M+ contemporary art museum, the recently opened Hong Kong Palace Museum, the Lyric Theatre Complex currently under construction and an 11-hectare Art Park fronting Victoria Harbour.

The deadline for tender submissions is November 14 at 5pm.

“The AST Project is one of the flagship commercial projects of the [area], dedicated to creating a new cultural central business district in Hong Kong,” a statement from the authority said. “It will provide the private sector with a precious opportunity to take part in such an ambitious arts- and culture-led development.”

The winning bidder will have the development and operational rights of the AST Project for 47 years under a build-operate-transfer (BOT) model, unlike the usual 50-year grant given to the winning bidders of other land tenders in Hong Kong.

The site is adjacent to the commercial and residential area above Kowloon Station, which is a stop for the Tung Chung and Airport Express lines, and close to Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, which is the terminus and only station on the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link.

“The project will have good prospects in the long term, as after the opening of the Palace Museum, M+ and other facilities, the district will become a true cultural hub with a strong market position,” a property agent said. “Once the office and retail development is completed, the West Kowloon area will be another business hub [that is] even larger than the Quarry Bay island east hub.”

The foundation and basement car parking facilities in the district have already been built, the agent said, meaning lower costs and faster construction for developers.

“The project will be suitable for end users like large corporates looking for exclusive use of the building with a good naming-rights signage facing Victoria Harbour,” the agent said.

Sun Hung Kai Properties, which won the commercial parcel above the West Kowloon terminus, is likely to be interested in the project, as is Sino Land, which is part of a consortium that built the Grand Victoria residential project in southwest Kowloon. Sino Land also owns the China Hong Kong City commercial complex in neighbouring Tsim Sha Tsui district, which includes five office towers, a shopping centre, a hotel and a ferry terminal, a surveyor said.

“Developers will have a concern about the uncertainty with the 47-year model, as ordinary land grants in Hong Kong give the winning bidder a 50-year lease term and upon expiry, they only need to pay 3 per cent of the weighable value of the land,” the surveyor said.

Another concern is that since the authority managing the district is a statutory body, the winning bidder will have to deal with the Hong Kong government plus the authority, the surveyor said.

The surveyor estimates that the land and construction costs for the property at about HK$11 billion.

“This project is slightly different from a regular government tender site, as it is tendered under the BOT procurement model,” another surveyor said. “The total land value could reach HK$10.5 billion.”

“Taking into account the prominent future of the West Kowloon district, by the time the development is completed, it is likely to be after four to five years,” the surveyor said. “The pandemic should have hopefully vanished and the tourism industry should have recovered.”

Hong Kong confronted by bleak outlook, with banks’ record high borrowing costs set to hit property market, economy

The one-month Hibor hit a 29-month high on Friday, while three-month Hibor was close to a 14-year high

An increase in the Hibor is set to force banks to increase prime rates this month, Everbright Securities analyst says

The interest rates Hong Kong’s banks charge each other for borrowing money have hit new highs and are expected to drive up their funding costs.

The one-month Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (Hibor) – the benchmark for mortgage loans – rose to 2.01 per cent on Friday, a 29-month high, according to a mortgage broker. The three-month Hibor, the benchmark for corporate loans, climbed to 2.79 per cent, nearing a 14-year high.

The one-month Hibor stood at only 0.15 per cent at the beginning of this year, while the three-month rate was at 0.25 per cent. The mortgage broker said that it expected both to rise further this year.

A widening interest-rate gap between Hong Kong and the US has contributed to a flight of capital out of the Hong Kong dollar market and has increased funding costs at banks in the city.

The US Federal Reserve has increased interest rates four times since march to control inflation. Last month, it increased interest rates by 75 basis points for a second straight month after US inflation topped 9.1 per cent in June and was well above its 2 per cent target. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the city’s de facto central bank, has moved in lockstep with the Fed to help maintain the peg between the US dollar and the local currency.

The banks will, as a result, be pressured into raising their prime rates, the interest rates charged on loans made to private individuals and companies, this month after the Fed raises its rates for a fifth time this year on September 22, analysts said.

“Banks have, so far, not followed the US rate rises but an increase in the Hibor, which adds to banks’ cost of funding from the interbank market, is set to force them to increase their prime rates in September,” analysts said.

The aggregate balance – the sum of balances in clearing accounts maintained by banks with the HKMA – has fallen to HK$124.92 billion as of Friday, 63 per cent lower than the HK$337.53 billion in May, before the HKMA first intervened this year. The authority has intervened 31 times this year to support the currency peg, buying a total of HK$213.096 billion and selling US$27.15 billion US dollars.

The HKMA increased its base rate by 75 basis points to 2.75 per cent in July, in lockstep with the US Fed. The interbank interest rates followed suit – 12 banks have already raised the cap for Hibor-linked home loans, according to a mortgage broker.

However, HSBC and Bank of China (Hong Kong), two of Hong Kong’s three currency-issuing lenders, have kept their prime rate unchanged at 5 per cent. Standard Chartered, the third currency issuer, has kept its rate steady at 5.25 per cent.

But Banks will raise their prime rates by 25 basis points this month, followed by another 25 basis points by the end of 2022, said Kenny Wen, head of investment strategy at Hong Kong-based broker KGI Asia.

“The rise in the prime rate will increase borrowing costs including mortgage lending. That will bring a negative impact on home buying desire and hold back the economy as we have already recorded two quarters of negative GDP growth,” he said.

A customer with a 30-year HK$5 million loan will have to pay HK$656 more each month following a 25 basis points increase and HK$1,324 more following a 75 basis points increase, according to the mortgage broker. Should the prime rate rise a full-percentage point, this homeowner will see monthly repayments increase by HK$2,004.

The city has fixed-rate mortgages too, but most mortgages are linked to either the one-month Hibor or banks’ prime rates. Because of low interest rates since 2008, most homebuyers have opted for either Hibor or prime rate mortgages as it has been cheap. Fix rated mortgages become popular when interest rates are high or on a rising trend.

The ratio of new mortgage loans priced with reference to Hibor stood at 96.8 per cent in July 2022, according to HKMA data. New loans priced according to prime rates stood at 1 per cent, while fixed-rate mortgages stood at 0.1 per cent. The other 2.1 per cent were linked to other benchmarks that the authority did not elaborate upon.

“Hong Kong has entered an interest rate hike cycle. Homebuyers should evaluate their ability to afford a home before they make a purchasing decision,” a property agent said.

“But there is real demand and they are looking for bargain deals,” the agent said, adding that property market activity in Hong Kong will continue to slow down.

Home prices in the city fell by 1.6 per cent in July, sinking to nearly a two-and-a-half-year low amid rising interest rates and Covid-19 rules that continue to weigh on the city’s economy and the property market.

The closely watched weekly market index shows that on Friday secondary home prices at 130 housing estates fell to 171.83, their lowest level since the week of February 17, 2019.

An increase in prime rates would hurt the macro economy, an independent currency analyst said. Banks last raised their prime rates in September 2018, by 12.5 basis points.

疫市持续下，旅游区铺市寂静多时，近期却一枝独秀获中资巨企追捧，继体育用品店李寧率先于尖沙嘴设旗舰店、免税店DUTY ZERO一连承租中环及铜锣湾黄金地段，手机生产商小米，将首度在港岛区开设门市，看中铜锣湾闹市一个复式巨铺，料短期内进驻。地产界人士形容，中资巨企平租游客区靚铺，儘管租金跌幅高达五成至七成，仍即时撑起铺市，为铺位市场注入强心针。

儘管小米早年进军香港，在港岛区却一直没有地铺门市，多年来，只有设置于恒隆中心写字楼内的楼上服务中心，面积约二千餘呎，该公司将首度在港岛开设旗舰店，消息人士透露，小米看中铜锣湾恒隆中心一个复式巨铺，接近二千五百方呎，小米与业主恒隆几乎一拍即合，业主乐于在租赁条件上提供优惠，料短期落实租赁，月租约三十万，平均呎租约一百二十元。

小米洽租Fashion Walk复式铺

本报就上述消息，分别向恒隆及小米查询，恒隆发言人回应，他们不会对个别租户作评论；小米则透过公关表示：「公司不予置评，如有进一步消息，会适时公布。」

知情人士则说，该巨铺位处铜锣湾记利佐治街十一至十九号Fashion Walk商场，为二号地铺及一楼全层，面积各为六百多及逾一千八百多呎，铺位「牛高马大」，非常宽敞，Fashion Walk毗邻为港铁站，儘管在疫市下，街道仍然人流聚集。巨铺前身为长情租客时装店MAX MARA，进驻逾十年，早前迁走后，腾出连同地下一号铺在内的近5000呎巨铺，业主恒隆将之一拆二，其中一个地下铺位旋即获鞋店承租，餘下二号铺及一楼全层，亦即将迎来小米。虽然铺位成功觅得租客，不过在经历近年的动乱及在疫情持续的洗礼，比较起旧租金，最新租金较高峰期跌约五成。

业主恒隆：不作个别评论

事实上，近期，中资巨企成为核心区铺市「亮点」，阔别香港十三年的内地体育用品店李寧，继二零零九年撤出尖沙嘴金马伦道据点，阔别十三年，近期「大升呢」，进驻「名店街」广东道，承租新港中心一个复式铺，面积约七千八百方呎，月租更高达二百万，租金较高峰期跌逾70%。

中国唯一由国务院授权，于全国各地开展免税业务的中免集团，旗下与外资合营的DUTY ZERO，向来只有赤鱲角机场及东涌东薈城据点，近期冲出东涌，连环承租中环德辅道中及铜锣湾罗素街铺位，其中，中环铺位更一签三年梗约，足见其对后市的信心。

业界：为铺市打下强心针

有代理表示，中资品牌连环租铺，为香港铺市打下强心针，中资公司对国内政策，有较深研究，他们行动积极，背后正因国家支持香港，事实上，在香港及澳门两个特区当中，香港最新的「3+4」隔离，远较澳门隔离时间为短，可见中央对香港的重视。该代理续说，第五波疫情后，核心区铺市持续淡静，现时与铺市走势最连繫为通关，「3+4」隔离措施成为通关第一步，相信进一步安排将会于十月十九日《施政报告》中发表，而另一重要事项为十月十六日举行的中共全国代表大会，市场预期将对香港管治政策，与本港政治及经济前景息息相关。

代理续说，过往核心区铺租昂贵，只有奢侈品可以负担，品牌即使愿意支付巨大代价，亦难于与之争一日长短，现在铺租大跌，让他们能够进军旅游消费街道。

翠樺楼早于1968年落成，现为1幢12层高商住物业，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅，物业佔地面积约4967方呎，若按拟议地积比约8.3135倍发展，可重建楼面约4.13万方呎。

已统一毗邻绍德楼业权

是次提出强拍的为宝盛国际兴业、能成发展及禧兆出，于2020年申请强拍时，已持有约89.58%业权，最新则持有约93.75%业权，餘下3伙未成功收购。

事实上，上述旧楼毗邻的高街124及126号绍德楼，上周五由同一财团以底价2.1亿投得，成功统一业权，相信会合併发展。资料显示，绍德楼坐落高街南面，位于薄扶林道与西边街之间，毗邻英皇书院，现为1幢于1966年落成的8层高商住楼宇，地盘面积约2798.84方呎，现划为「住宅 (甲类) 8」用途。

油塘工业区 摇身变临海住宅

油塘工业区近年转型加快，发展商积极推动区内工厦重建，目前仍有5个重建项目正在进行，预计将提供近3,500伙，将逐渐变成一个临海住宅区。

油塘区内有2个工业区，当中位于油塘东南部、邻近三家村、鲤鱼门的东源街、高辉道交界一带的工业区，以分层工厦为主，过去10年陆续有工厦重建成住宅项目，例如包括嘉贤居、鲤湾天下、OCEAN ONE、海傲湾、曦臺、PENINSULA EAST，大部分前身均属于工厦重建而成。

5项目重建 料增3500伙

当中临海部分规划为「综合发展区」，业权相对集中，在近年政府先后批出多幅住宅用地，包括蔚蓝东岸、海傲湾为近年批出的住宅官地，前者由五矿地产 (00230) 于2016年以约40亿元投得，兴建4幢住宅大厦，提供约688伙，区内住宅发展开始成形。

至于目前正在进行规划及重建中的项目，则仍有5个，合共将提供近3,500伙，当中规模最大为越秀地产 (00123) 就持有的油塘东源街冷藏货仓及比邻政府土地，将建4座23至27层高的商住物业，涉及约65.8万平方呎住宅楼面及约1,016平方呎非住宅楼面，总楼面约65.9万平方呎，提供约1,393伙。

而临海的综合发展区部分，则有长实 (01113) 东源街5及8号项目，发展商已经在2年前补地价约22.1亿元，将工业地转为兴建4幢住宅大厦，提供约903伙，当中405伙为面积少于431平方呎的小型单位。

宏安购油塘工厦8成业权

另外曾经在区内收购工厦重建成曦臺的宏安 (01222) ，于今年初再出手，以约5.8亿元购入四山街18至20号油塘工业大厦第4座超过8成业权，每平方呎收购价高达约4,100元，发展商将申请透过强拍以统一大厦业权并作重建。该工厦于1979年落成，现为楼高4层的工业大厦，地盘面积约41,800平方呎，规划为「住宅 (戊类)」，预计重建作商住用途，最高地积比率6倍，可建楼面约25.08万平方呎，估计可以提供约400至500个中小型住宅单位。

邻近同为四山街的世运货仓，则在早前由已故「船王」包玉刚家族旗下的康世集团，申请重建成住宅，提供约445伙。除了在油塘工业区重建加快外，位于港铁 (00066) 油塘站南面的油塘湾近年亦有进展。项目由恒地 (00012) 等发展商牵头展开全面重建，目前跟政府商讨补地价中，将会兴建逾6,000伙。

油塘工厦均价4000 略低于观塘

油塘工业区内工厦呎价平均约4,000元水平，略低于邻近的观塘区工厦，当中较近港铁油塘站的油塘工业城，近期平均呎价约4,500元。

油塘工业区内工厦楼龄普遍较旧，亦有不少业权分散，而位于高辉道17号的油塘工业城，楼龄约33年，分为A及B座，位置相对较近港铁油塘站，前方更可眺望油塘湾海景。

油塘工业城 17年升价8倍

据EPRC经济地产库资料显示，油塘工业城近期平均成交呎价约4,489元，成交单位面积介乎约1,564至2,908平方呎，大部分单位面积大约千餘平方呎，成交价约为600万至1,000万元。例如，B座低层B6室，面积约1,572平方呎，在今年中以约650万元易手，平均呎价约4,135元。原业主于2005年以约70.4万元购入该单位，持货17年，升值逾8倍，帐面获利达近580万元。

至于位于茶果岭道610号生利工业中心，位置在油塘大本型商场对面，楼龄约42年，早前高层7室以约680万元易手，单位面积约1,716平方呎，呎价约3,963元。原业主2007年以约80万元购入，持货15年至今转手升值7.5倍。油塘工业区工厦亦有不少单位面积较细，适合资金相对有限的投资者。

Jardine's Lookout house in $1b offer

A house on Perkins Road at Jardine's Lookout has been put up for sale with an indicative price of HK$1 billion.

The detached house at No 83 Perkins Road, with a site area of 13,040 square feet, is available for tender until October 20, a surveyor said.

With a plot ratio of 0.6 times, it has 7,824 square feet of floor area which can be redeveloped, leading to a price of HK$12,781 per square foot.

The two-floor luxury house has a garden of nearly 10,000 square feet, a private pool and a parking lot and is also close to business districts such as Central and Causeway Bay.

The house is now held by a construction service provider, Nam Mui (Kin Kee) Company, which was established in 1970 and is controlled by a Chan family.

Owning some properties in Hong Kong, the landlord also cashed in HK$14.15 million by selling two units of Wilton Place in Mid-Levels two years ago.

On Perkins Road, a house of 9,185 square feet site area at No 81 was bought by a founder of Hopson Development (0754) Chu Mang-yee for HK$800 million in 2019, while a luxury property of 10,716 square feet site area at No 6 was purchased by Maxim's Caterers' chairman Lawrence Ng Wai-kwok for HK$700 million this June.

In other news, the mortgage-linked one-month Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate rose by 5.7 basis points to 2.06484 percent yesterday, nearing the high of 2.15661 percent in February 2020.

Recent Hong Kong home buyers stand to lose millions as prices decline – some already have

Many people who bought homes over the past five years are now facing a loss – at least on paper – as prices continue to slide

Some owners who had to sell have taken significant losses – in one case to the tune of HK$5.85 million (US$745,334)

Many homeowners who bought flats in Hong Kong over the past five years are looking at a loss if they decide to sell now, as the housing market enters a downward cycle amid rising interest rates, a recession and a wave of emigration.

In fact, some owners who bought high have been forced to sell low recently, turning paper losses into real losses – in one case to the tune of HK$5.85 million (US$745,334).

Many homeowners who bought homes after mid-2017, when prices were higher than the current level, may find themselves in the same position if they choose to sell, property agent said. A total of 327,419 private homes fall into that category, according to Land Registry data.

“Negative factors such as the US-China trade war, social unrest, Covid-19, and rising interest rates have caused property prices to soften,” the agent said. “Therefore, those who entered the market at a high price in the past few years have a high chance of experiencing paper losses.”

For most of 2018 and 2019 the government’s index of lived-in home prices ran higher than the latest reading of 376.1 in July this year, according to official data released by the Rating and Valuation Department. For example, the index is now 5.2 per cent below the 396.9 it registered in May 2019, before the outbreak of social unrest and the coronavirus pandemic.

The HK$5.85 million loss came on a four-bedroom, 1,318 sq ft flat with a sea view at Harbour Glory in North Point, which changed hands for HK$42 million in early September, 12 per cent below what the owner paid the developer, CK Asset Holdings, in 2017, according to another property agency.

The person decided to “sell as soon as possible and leave the market, as Hong Kong is about to enter the interest rate upcycle,” another agent said.

In Sai Kung, a seller lost HK$3.85 million on a three-bedroom, 1,108 sq ft flat with a garden at Mount Pavilia, which changed hands for HK$17.8 million, 18 per cent below the original price in 2018, according to property agency.

The district in August saw at least four recent loss-making deals at developments completed in the past few years, agent said.

A market index, fell 0.8 per cent to 171.83 for the week ended September 4 – the lowest level since February 2019. The index has fallen 5.1 per cent over eight weeks and may fall further and more sharply.

Among 144 new projects that launched since 2018, 42 of them, or about 30 per cent, have seen flats sell recently for less than the average price per square foot for all sales, according to data from Dataelements, a data provider that tracks new residential properties in Hong Kong.

Part of the reason may be the different sizes of the units sold, according to Dataelements.

Phase one of Emerald Bay, developed by debt-laden developer China Evergrande Group, recorded the biggest drop at 16.7 per cent.

The city’s homeowners and potential buyers are braced for higher mortgage rates since the US Federal Reserve embarked on a rapid succession of interest rate hikes in March to tame the fastest inflation in America in four decades.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the de facto central bank, has increased its base rate in lockstep under its linked exchange rate system with the US dollar.

The US central bank raised its benchmark rate for two consecutive months in June and July, and the market widely expects US interest rates to increase for a fifth time this year by another 50 to 75 basis points in September.

“The downward trend of home prices in Hong Kong has not stopped,” agent said. “With the loss of market confidence, the decline tends to widen.”

Buyers in Hong Kong tend to hold onto their properties for at least three years, until they are no longer liable to pay the Special Stamp Duty. Therefore buyers who made their purchases in 2018 account for the majority of buyers facing potential losses right now, agent said. Later, more 2019 buyers will gradually begin facing the predicament.

At The Pacifica in Cheung Sha Wan, a homeowner in a rush to emigrate sold a 441 sq ft flat for HK$7.6 million – the lowest price for a flat of that size there in one-and-a-half-years – losing HK$480,000 compared with the May 2019 buying price of HK$8.08 million, according to another agency.

At The Visionary in Tung Chung, a foreign pilot who left Hong Kong early this year lost HK$1 million selling a three-bedroom, 1,033 sq ft flat for HK$11.5 million in late August, absorbing an 8 per cent loss on his August 2019 purchase.

An agent attributed that the widening decline to the city’s higher Covid-19 infection numbers, deterioration in the overall investment sentiment with the plunging Hang Seng Index and interest rate increases, which may dampen investment sentiment and developers’ recent property launches at low prices.

If there is no good news this month, the decline in property prices will not stop, and home prices will fall by about 8 per cent this year, agent said.

有外资代理行发表最新研究报告指，过去三年 (2019年至2022年) 受到疫情及环球政治紧张局势影响，甲厦出现历史上最长、最深下行周期，截至上月，最新空置楼面升至1130万方呎，创历来新高，相当于5幢中环国际金融中心二期的规模，最新空置率为13.5%。

历来最长下行周期

该行指出，过去三年间，各行业租用之楼面均明显减少，当中以批发与零售、物流与贸易行业租用面积大幅削减10.4%，即约120万方呎属于最多。中资企业亦不如疫情前活跃，近三年新租用楼面大减一半。

948家企业缩租用规模

据该行研究报告指，2019年3月至2022年3月期间，各行业减少租用写字楼，令甲厦租用面积由2019年3月的7530万方呎，跌至今年的7300万方呎，减幅约3.1%。

按行业划分，批发与零售、物流与贸易行业租用的甲厦面积，由1190万方呎降至1070万方呎；法律及专业服务由680万方呎，降至620万方呎，为两大跌幅最深类别，分别达10.4%及8%。至于资讯科技、科技及电讯，最新租用甲厦楼面为420万方呎，亦较三年前减少6.3%。截至2022年3月的三年内，共有948家企业 (或佔甲厦租户9.5%) 缩减租用空间。

疫市持续下，有投资老手沽售旗下非核心物业，为未来做好部署，投资者罗守辉旗下TOYOMALL刚沽售中环联盛大厦全幢商厦，作价2.98亿，平均呎价2.78万，持货20年升值近8倍。买家为新世界创办人郑裕彤外孙杜家驹。

市场消息透露，中环皇后大道中118及120号联盛大厦全幢商厦，以2.98亿易手，该厦佔地1261方呎，楼高11层，总楼面10711方呎，以易手价计算，平均呎价2.78万，物业属银座式商厦，地铺为北京同仁堂，楼上租客包括西餐、印度菜、财务公司等，月租合共70万，以易手价计算，新买家料收约2.8厘。原业主TOYOMALL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，物业升值约8.8倍。

投资者杜家驹承接

知情人士形容，上述买卖双方皆大欢喜，一拍即合，TOYOMALL经过长时间持货，物业录可观升值，认为是适当止赚机会，套现后，更好为将来作部署，寻找更佳的投资项目；买家杜家驹则购得心头好，认为核心地段全幢物业难得放售，物业属于优质盘源，不论市好市差，收租回报有保证，更预料疫市后回报有所增长。该宗交易以买卖形式进行，买家亦得以节省可观的釐印费。

该物业位处中环及上环港铁站之间，接近中环街市及中环中心，步行至港铁站约3至5分鐘步程。

料回报2.8厘

杜家驹为新世界创办人郑裕彤外孙，现时亦是新创建非执行董事，他对区内迷你商厦情有独钟，早于去年中，他与父亲杜惠购入区内荷李活道35至37号C Wisdom Centre全幢商厦，作价4.32亿，该厦每层写字楼仅约950方呎，属于迷你商厦，楼高26层，总楼面23889方呎，平均呎价18084元，现时月租约80.7万，料回报约2.2４厘，原业主为章镇泉等人，章家为本地低调老牌家族，上世纪七十、八十年代从事工业行业。

西营盘项目中标价高次标9%

远东发展上月以12.4亿力压8财团、投得的市建局西营盘崇庆里/桂香街发展项目，该局以不具名方式，公布其餘8份落选标价，出价介乎6.43亿至11.38亿，呎价约6785至12009元。而中标价较次标高出约9%，可见首两标出价相当接近。

该项目在7月中旬接获共9份标书，市建局于8月初批出项目发展权，最终由远东发展以12.4亿力压8财团夺得，每方呎楼面地价约13085元，属低市场估值下限价。市建局昨日以不具名方式，公布其餘8份落选标价，只有首两标出价逾11亿，其中次标出价约11.38亿，与中标价相差约1.02亿，楼面呎价则约12009元，首标较次标仅高约9%。

最低入标价仅6.43亿

其餘的投标价均不足10亿，紧随其后为9.88亿，与中标价相差约25.5%；另外，亦有2个财团以「执鸡」心态低价入标，出价不足7亿，当中最低入标价仅6.43亿，与中标价相差约5.97亿，差幅达约92.8%，楼面呎价仅约6785元。

项目位于崇庆里1至7号、桂香街12至16号及德辅道西216至218号，邻近私楼薈臻，距离港铁西营盘站仅2分鐘步程；地盘面积约1.16万方呎，可建总楼面约9.48万方呎，当中商业楼面约4306方呎。

近期市建局加快推出项目，城规会早前就《市建局昌华街/长沙湾道发展计画草图》提出修订，将昌华街/长沙湾道发展计画用内的地划为「住宅 (甲类) 地带」、「政府、机构或社区」地带及「休憩用地」地带等，以提供约830伙住宅单位，有关修订于諮询期收到270份申述，当中268份属支持，只有2份为反对，最新规划署并不支持该反对意见，而城规会将于明日举行会议审理有关申述。

More homes priced at Wong Chuk Hang

A sixth price list has been released for SouthLand in Wong Chuk Hang, developed by Road King Infrastructure (1098) and MTR Corporation (0066).

The project will also open show flats today.

Of 80 flats on the sixth list, the cheapest is HK$8.87 million and the average price is HK$36,862 per sq ft after discounts.

The 80 homes take in 44 studios, eight one-bedroom flats, 11 with two bedrooms and 17 with four bedrooms ranging from 290 square feet to 1,218 sq ft.

Across at Miami Quay I in Kai Tak, meanwhile, a third price list covering 65 homes with an average price of HK$24,996 after discounts has been released.

Developed by Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land Development (0012), New World Development (0017) and Empire Group, Miami Quay I is also expected to launch a second round of sales of 140 flat this Sunday.

Elsewhere, a house on Clear Water Bay Road in Sai Kung has been put up for tender, with a market valuation of HK$218 million. The house was apparently among locations for shooting a biographical musical drama about late Cantopop star Anita Mui.

In commercial property news, smartphone giant Xiaomi (1810) is set to open a flagship store on Hong Kong Island after leasing a shop with a monthly rent of HK$300,000, or HK$120 per sq ft. The shop is at Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay and the latest rent for the premises is down 50 percent from peak times.

Xiaomi joins other mainland brands in leasing premises in the city's core shopping and business districts.

Earlier this month Li Ning (2331) moved to open a flagship store in Tsim Sha Tsui's Canton Road with a rent that could be as much as HK$2 million per month, although such a rent would be 70 percent lower compared to the peak.

Meanwhile, Duty Zero backed by travel retailer China Tourism Group Duty Free Corp (1880) leased stores in Central and Causeway Bay recently.

And in a broader property picture, the vacancy rate for Grade A office space in Hong Kong reached a record high of 11.3 million square feet in August according to a property consultancy, which expects rents to have dropped by up to 5 percent across all 12 months at the end of this year.

有代理行统计指，本港疫情持续反覆，市场观望气氛浓厚，甲乙厦售价均窄幅上落，整体甲厦售价上月按月跌0.8%，整体乙厦售价则按月升1.7%。

该行代理表示，虽然疫情阴霾未过，但商厦价格早已大幅回调，带动核心区商厦于疫市下仍录大手买卖，相信现时最坏时刻已过。加上近日多位社会上具地位的政商界人士均发声促请通关，以及港府亦正与内地商讨「逆隔离」安排，无疑令市场憧憬进一步放宽入境检疫隔离要求，甚至全面恢復通关带来曙光，相信若有关措施落实，跨国企业对写字楼的租赁需求会更加明确，有利商厦市场。

空置率仍高企

写字楼租金轻微向上，甲厦租金8月份按月升0.8%，但今年以来仍累积挫4.1%。而整体乙厦租金则轻微向下，按月跌0.8%。

甲厦空置率仍然未有改善，8月份的整体甲厦空置率录9.9%，较7月份的9.8%轻微上升0.1个百分点，当中尖沙咀区的空置率最新升至8.7%，是继7月份后，再次创2020年6月有纪录以来新高。而相比起7月份，湾仔 / 铜锣湾区是唯一空置率有改善之地区，甲厦空置率由8%下跌至7.3%。

疫市下，核心商业区仍录大手买卖，上月市场较为瞩目的成交为汤臣集团以约1.93亿元购入金鐘海富中心二座13楼全层，呎价约1.8万元，创该厦近8年来的呎价新低纪录。另外，上海商业总会以约1.2亿元购入中环南华大厦7楼全层，呎价约2.9万元，创该厦历来呎价新高。

HK home prices expected to stabilize soon

A property agency has forecast that home prices will fall by 5 to 8 percent this year.

But they will bottom out this month or October and stabilize in the fourth quarter as mortgage rates in Hong Kong are still at a low level.

By last Saturday, some entry-level home prices had slumped by more than 10 percent this year, the company said. Home prices in mass and middle markets also dropped by 8 and 7.5 percent.

The number of residential transactions in the third quarter is estimated to fall by 22 percent quarter-on-quarter, or 39 percent year-on-year, to 11,608.

A surveyor said that mortgage rates in the city are still at a low level that would not put too much pressure on paying the loans.

Phase three of Wetland Seasons Bay in Tin Shui Wai, developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), has released the first price list, offering 78 units with an average price of HK$14,187 after discounts. That is a decrease of 3.5 percent compared with the phase two.

The 78 on the price list are one-bedroom to three-bedroom units. Based on the highest discount of 13.5 percent, the prices range from HK$4.97 million to HK$9.81 million, or from HK$13,008 to HK$16,347 per square foot. The cheapest one was priced at HK$4.97 million, with an area of 356 sq ft. It is a one-bedroom unit with a storeroom.

The show flats were opened to the public yesterday and subscriptions will be accepted today. SHKP said the flats will be put on sale next week at the earliest.

Meanwhile, the second phase of One Innovale, One Innovale-Bellevue, in Fan Ling with 408 flats is expected to be launched this month, said developer Henderson Land Development (0012).

The 408 units of One Innovale-Bellevue include studios, one-bedroom units, two-bedroom units and three-bedroom units. The second phase is expected to be completed at the end of June next year.

The developer said the pre-sale consent of the project is waiting to be approved, and it hoped that the sale could be started this month after approval.

今年酒店买卖暂涉资93亿 业界：憧憬未来通关 基金主导市场

今年以来，酒店市场大放异采，至今暂录8宗全幢酒店买卖，涉资高逾93亿，金额比对往年同期大升逾9倍。业界人士表示，买家憧憬未来通关，期望可趁疫市「低捞」，并以基金大户主导市场。

今年酒店买卖罕见地畅旺，至今暂录8宗全幢买卖，涉资由2.2亿至24.7亿，其中，观塘悦品海景酒店作价为24.7亿，为今年以来暂录最大宗买卖，其次为红磡「逸．酒店」(Hotel sáv) 涉资16.46亿。

今年暂录8宗全幢买卖

除了宗数之多，金额涉资庞大，更是多年来罕见，多逾93亿，比较去年同期只有9.2亿，大升9倍。市场由基金买家主导，表现积极，当中有6宗由基金承接，涉资逾77亿。亚洲住宅租务品牌Weave living最积极，参与其中的4宗，涉资约54.75亿。

盛滙商铺基金创办人李根兴认为，现时酒店易手价格，并非创新高，而是「捞底价」，亦只有在疫市下，才有更多酒店盘源供应，才有平卖的情况。现时，市场期待进一步放宽入境检疫，憧憬未来通关，有见疫情接近尾声，买家出手吸纳酒店。

盛滙李根兴：料属「捞底价」

他续说，酒店买家以基金主导，近年来，基金积极集资，手持巨额资金，需要寻找出路，酒店成为首选，而且，酒店出路广，长租可以做住宅，或者作为学生宿舍。

代理：价格高位跌逾10%

有代理表示，疫情持续下，酒店价格较高位下跌至少10%至15%，财团购买酒店，退可守进可攻，可作为检疫酒店或改作服务式住宅，取得稳定的收入；同时，买家更憧憬即将通关，只要一通关，势必带来惊喜，现时，亚洲很多地区酒店租金在通关后，较疫情前录得可观升幅。

Ｗeave Living等斥逾54亿购酒店

该代理续说，过往市况畅旺，酒店业主惜售，现时有见其他物业价格廉宜，不少业主沽售酒店换货，加强旗下核心物业组合；亦有个别业主则基于债务重组，从而沽出酒店。

代理强调，酒店与服务式住宅属于同一范畴的物业，基金成为酒店最大买家，趁疫情下壮大投资者组合，除了酒店外，服务式住宅亦是基金及私人投资者追捧的对象。

灵活办公室兴起 扩充空间极大

IWG促宽入境措施 刺激商务活动

疫情下封关令商业活动受阻碍，IWG香港及大湾区区域经理Paul MacAndrew认为，香港若进一步放宽检疫措施，才可刺激商务往来，他又指疫情加速灵活办公模式，更可达致僱主及员工双赢局面，未来尚有极大扩充空间。

商务气氛稍为转好，Paul指出，集团旗下灵活办公室，8月份租务查询非常踊跃，「相信因暑假接近完结，机构要员开始重返工作岗位，令租务查询增加。」写字楼租务需求，主要来自跨国企业，而疫情期间商务活动大减，冲击商厦租务市场。上月政府放宽入境，推出「3+4」措施，他认为要进一步开放，才可令香港国际金融城市地位得以保持，「新措施是有正面进展，所有营商人士包括我们希望通关，疫情持续两年多，封关下缺乏外来公司扩充，商业租务仅靠在港机构。新措施下现时来看仍没有太多人来港，而香港是全球3大金融市场，不只是地区性，更是国际都会，要保持地位，相信要进一步开放。」

至于近期有报道指，新加坡吸引在港的跨国机构搬迁，他则认为香港的金融业规模比起新加坡显著大得多，机构对香港仍非常感兴趣。

旗下中心 6月使用率多2月8成

IWG集团主力经营灵活办公室，包括共享空间、服务式办公室等。疫情冲击，令整体甲厦空置率升至20年来最高，不过却造就灵活办公室兴起，因租约灵活度高，兼提供时尚装修等，吸引企业转投。Paul指出，全綫IWG办公中心今年6月的使用率亦见增长，与同年2月相比大升超过8成。疫情出现办公室新常态，最明显是传统办公室模式正在下跌，取而代之是灵活办公室兴起，「不需要有固定办公室，使用混合工作 (Hybrid workplace) 你可以在家、咖啡室，灵活办公空间工作。很多本港机构因签长约，现阶段未作出变化，但未来会考虑不同模式。」

调查：混合工作 最受求职者欢迎

一项IWG调查发现，76%大湾区求职者倾向应徵提供混合工作的职位，而超过一半 (51%) 更倾向选择弹性灵活工作多于加薪一成。另一个IWG调查揭示混合工作是最受求职者欢迎的福利，每10名员工就有9名 (88%) 表示混合工作是寻找新工作时重要考量因素，与医疗保险及收入损失保障 (两者均为88%) 同等重要，「对双方均是好事，重点是员工非常喜欢，僱主可以吸纳及留住人才。毕竟本港商厦租金始终比较高，租用较少楼面，可减少成本，同时令员工快乐，绝对是双赢局面。」

灵活办公概念兴起数年，渐成趋势，Paul指出根据报告，目前在全球办公楼面中，灵活办公室比例仅佔5%，而2030年预计可达30%，相信疫情正是加速发展，未来尚有极大扩充空间。香港业务方面，他谓会积极与商厦业主合作，寻找机会。

湾仔Spaces开幕 供逾900办公位

IWG集团持续扩充，租用湾仔全幢商厦，涉及18层的新办公点近日正式啟用。

IWG位于湾仔皇后大道东8号 (8QRE) 全新Spaces办公大楼于9月正式开幕，是Spaces在香港的第7间中心，令IWG旗下在港品牌包括Spaces、Regus及Signature的据点扩展到共18个。

特设两层「商务俱乐部」

Spaces 8QRE涉及18层，佔地超过6.7万平方呎，提供超过900个办公位置，包括188间私人办公室、单人固定办公桌等，更特设有两层「商务俱乐部」(开放空间)，让会员与更广泛的专业社群互动交流，部分楼层设有露台，可眺望金鐘一带的街景。

对于未来扩充计划，IWG香港及大湾区区域经理Paul MacAndrew指出，仍积极物色合适地方。在新常态下，他认为寻找新据点的选择可以更广泛，「由于工作模式在转变中，我们开设灵活办公室，不一定要在传统商业区，选择在住宅区，邻近僱员居住地点也可以。」他亦提到，除了现时旗下3大品牌外，亦希望引入集团其他品牌来港，「例如集团旗下HQ，是价格相对经济实惠的办公室。未来将会继续在港积极扩展，向着IWG年内为其全球网络新增1,000个据点的目标出发。」

More Fan Ling flats poised to hit market

Henderson Land Development (0012) has released a second price list of 60 flats for the second phase of its One Innovale development in Fan Ling after the first list of 83 flats drew a positive response from the market with around 1,200 checks received as of yesterday.

The 60 flats in the second list include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, with areas ranging from 221 to 462 square feet and costing between HK$3.21 million to HK$6.76 million or HK$13,283 and HK$16,803 per sq ft after discounts

The average price is HK$14,613 per sq ft after discounts. Most of the flats in the second list are one-bedroom units and the cheapest, with an area of 221 sq ft, costs HK$3.21 million.

The second phase is called One Innovale-Bellevue and offers a total of 408 flats. One Innovale is being developed in three phases and will have 1,600 flats when completed.

Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) unveiled the second price list for the third phase of its Wetland Seasons Bay in Tin Shui Wai, offering 64 flats at an average price of HK$14,670 per sq ft after discounts, with the cheapest priced at HK$5.9 million.

The first list of 78 flats and the second have together been oversubscribed about 4.6 times with about 800 checks, and may sell out in a week, according to SHKP. The third phase provides 384 flats and the three-phase development offers a total of 1,996 units.

Also in the primary market, Miami Quay I at Kai Tak launched its second round of sales yesterday with 138 flats on the price list and one via tender.

Just two deals were recorded and both were for middle- or high-floor harbor-view units. One was a two-bedroom unit which sold for HK$12.43 million and the other was a one-bedroom bought for HK$8.47 million.

Miami Quay is being jointly developed by Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land Development, New World Development (0017) and Empire Group Holdings in two phases with a total of 1,219 flats.

In other news, Citibank (Hong Kong), China Construction Bank (Asia) and Nanyang Commercial Bank will raise the cap of the mortgage rate linked to the Hong Kong interbank offered rate to 2.75 percent, following most of its peers in the city.

This came as the mortgage-linked one-month Hibor rose to 2.3598 percent on Friday. Currently, at least 16 Hong Kong banks have raised the cap on Hibor-linked loans.

In the secondary market, property agencies recorded that a drop in transactions at 10 major housing estates this weekend.

One of the agency saw the number of deals nearly halve week-on-week to nine, after two consecutive weeks of increases while another one also saw a 50 percent drop in deals with just eight transactions.

The agencies expects that second-hand transactions will increase at the end of this month, as customers who fail to buy new properties go back to the secondary market.

Hongkongers snub new homes at Miami Quay, Kai Tak, as rising interest rates, slow economy kill demand

As of 7pm only two out of 139 units on offer at the development on the site of Hong Kong’s former airport had been sold, according to property agency

‘Higher interest rates are weighing on sentiment,’ agent said

Hongkongers continued to snub new home sales on Sunday as sentiment in the property market remained weak and potential buyers stuck with a wait-and-see attitude brought on by rising interest rates and a sluggish economy.

As of 7pm, only two out of 139 units on offer at Miami Quay, a new development at the site of Hong Kong’s former airport, had been sold, according to a property agent. Among the 139 units on offer on Sunday, 65 were new, while the rest was left unsold last week.

The project at Kai Tak was jointly developed by Wheelock Properties, Henderson Land Development, New World Development and Empire Group.

Sunday’s sales were even worse than last Monday when less than a third of 137 flats that went on sale in the first batch found buyers.

“Last time they sold about 40 flats. Buyers interested in this project made their purchases then,” agent said. “The developers decided to launch another round of sales with the hope of attracting more buyers, but market sentiment is slow and the wait-and-see attitude prevails. There were not many new buyers for the extra launch so the sales were lacklustre.”

Analysts cited the rising costs of home loans as a major factor for the current slump in appetite for residential property.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, effectively the city’s central bank, has raised its base rate in lockstep with the Federal Reserve under its linked exchange rate system with the US dollar.

After increasing its benchmark rate for two consecutive months in June and July, another round of increases is likely this month, with analysts estimating as much as a 75-basis points hike.

“Higher interest rates are weighing on sentiment. Rates have already nearly doubled to 3 per cent and will continue to increase,” another agent said. “While this is still very low compared to many other countries, it’s a big increase for the local market and is dampening sentiment.”

With US inflation still likely to surge, rate rises are forecast to continue until next year when consumer prices could be brought under control, the agent said.

Hong Kong’s economic slump is further dampening demand. In August, the government further cut its forecast for the city’s economy to between 0.5 per cent growth and 0.5 per cent contraction. It previously estimated that the economy was likely to see a 1 to 2 per cent growth.

The recent wave of emigration is not helping, as more people leaving the city could only mean less demand for homes.

More than 113,000 residents left the city in the 12 months to June, with the population shrinking by 1.6 per cent, the latest figures from the Census and Statistics Department showed. In the same period of the previous year, the population decline was 1.2 per cent.

The local property market is also influenced by the performance of the Hong Kong stock exchange, and with the bellwether Hang Seng Index losing nearly a fifth of its value so far this year, buyers’ sentiment is downbeat, the agency said.

“The Hong Kong property market is very correlated to the equities market. Its poor performance in the last few months has dampened sentiment,” agent said said.

“This combined with other macro factors such as rampant inflation, the war in Ukraine and Hong Kong not opening up [its borders in the wake of the pandemic] is impacting the market and damaging many businesses. These factors will continue to impact sentiment well into 2023.”

The units on offer on Sunday had sizes between 250 and 716 square feet and were priced between HK$5.24 million (US$668,000) and HK$18.73 million, after discounts of as much as 12 per cent.

英皇3.25亿增持寿臣山15号权益 杨政龙：合共持有50%股权 对项目具信心

本港超级豪宅向来有价有市，港岛南区超级豪宅寿臣山15号自推出以来备受市场欢迎，最新英皇国际及中渝置地分别与明发集团签订买卖协议，各自以3.25亿收购明发集团持有该项目的20%股权的一半股权，即明发集团沽出20%股权共涉6.5亿，而英皇国际最新增持股权至50%，成大股东。

英皇国际昨日发出公告指，该公司及中渝置地与明发集团签订买卖协议，各自以3.25亿收购明发集团持有该项目的20%股权的一半股权，预计今年11月15日完成交易，即英皇国际及中渝置地将各自增持10%项目权益，完成交易后，英皇国际股权增至50%、中渝置地持有42%，而资本策略则持有8%。

隔离措施放宽海外客源增

英皇国际副主席杨政龙表示，寿臣山15号位处传统豪宅地段，交通便捷且拥名校网，全港同级数优质洋房供应罕有，故一直为市场焦点，集团对洋房市场前景和项目的潜力具信心，以及集团有充裕的现金流，待完成交易后，将共计持有该项目50%股权。而是次收购符合集团及股东整体利益，亦是一个绝佳机会透过该物业增值为集团未来创造更多收入。

中渝黄志强：增持10%股权

杨政龙指出，集团近年专注发展洋房项目，随着海外入境香港隔离措施放宽，项目增加海外客源查询，待逐步恢復与内地通关，相信会持续吸引更多超级实力买家关注。

中渝置地副主席黄志强说，很高兴增持寿臣山15号股权，亦乐见项目销售情况良好，各发展商配合紧密，项目在市场上别树一帜，亦受惠于跃动港岛南等政策，加上豪宅市场买家实力雄厚稳定，较少受外界环境影响，未来仍会以惜售态度稳步加推洋房。鑑于项目增值潜力及销售进展令人期待，相信是次收购未来定必会带来可观回报。

寿臣山15号自推出以来，备受市场追捧，短期内已售出两间洋房，共套现逾13亿。该项目拥15幢低密度独立洋房，面积由3727至12073方呎，属4房4套至6房6套间隔，是全港极少供应面积万方呎豪宅洋房项目。每幢洋房设私人花园、私人车位及内置升降机，其中13幢独立洋房更拥有私人游泳池。

沙田显和里「蚊型地」收17份标书

沙田显和里「蚊型」住宅地昨日截标，合共接获17份标书，入标财团包括新地、信和、嘉华、佳明、鹰君、永泰、远东发展、汉国置业、英皇、中信泰富、中国海外，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。

英皇物业经理蔡宏基表示，由地盘步行到港铁大围站仅需10至15分鐘，交通不俗，故是次独资入标，初步计画纯住宅发展，主要兴建中型单位，出价已考虑加息及建筑成本上升等因素。

佳明项目经理曾嘉敏指出，地皮邻近港铁站，规模适合发展上车盘，周边有不少资助房屋是优势而非缺点，因为生活配套齐全，料兴建细单位为主，集中提供1至2房户型。

汉国置业房地产部董事李振彪指出，沙田区鲜有地皮推出，相信前景不俗，如中标将独资发展，计画兴建2房为主中型单位，亦会有商业部分，提供各类商铺满足住户生活所需，出价已考虑加息因素，中长綫看好楼市前景。

测量师：料兴建纯住宅

有测量师表示，估计发展商为资金更快回笼，将选择纯住宅发展，兴建单幢住宅，提供约170伙，因为近期市况差，而且港岛住宅地楼面呎价跌至约1.3万水平，最新楼面地价估值约7000元，比原本6月预计10500元下调约33%。

另一测量师指，入标数量较预期好，估计发展商与建中小单位为主精品豪宅，参考大围新盘如栢傲庄，估计落成后单位呎价达1.8万至1.9万水平。

沙田显和里住宅地，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，涉及可建楼面约89339方呎，是今季卖地表中最细的住宅地。综合最新市场估值约6亿至8亿，每方呎楼面地价约6700至9000元。

市场憧憬放宽入境措施，投资者即留意全幢物业，近日连环录成交，料入市后部署访港人士增加会带来商机。

大额投资市场近日成交稍增，当中不乏核心区一綫地段。消息指，中环皇后大道中118至120号联盛大厦全幢易手，物业地盘面积约1,127平方呎，楼高11层，总楼面约10,704平方呎，项目以近3亿元成交，呎价约2.8万元。新买家为本地投资耆，料购入后稍作翻新。原业主为资深投资者罗守辉，于2002年以约3,038万元购入，持货20年获利近2.7亿元，升值约9倍。

全幢灵活度高 价格回调

另外，市场消息指，近期积极沽货的邓成波家族，再售出两项酒店。分别为观塘悦品海景酒店，以及旺角旭逸酒店。其中观塘悦品海景酒店位于伟业街，前身为丽东酒店，楼高31层，提供598间房，面积由200至400平方呎，属观塘区内罕有大型酒店，目前暂作检疫酒店之用。据了解，酒店以约24.7亿元易手，平均每房价值约413万元。铺王邓成波于2017年，斥23亿元向恒地 (00012) 购入酒店，持货5年转手获利约1.7亿元。

另一项酒店为旺角旭逸酒店，位于砵兰街，提供199间房，面积由100餘平方呎起，高层客房更享维港海景。物业位于油尖旺核心地段，适合自由行旅客入住，目前亦作检疫酒店用途。

据了解，旺角旭逸酒店以7.3亿元成交，平均每房价值366.8万元。铺王邓成波于2018年，以11亿元向英皇购入酒店，持货4年转手，家族蚀约3.7亿元。

消息称，新买家同为Weave Living，该集团月初以2.75亿元，伙拍基金购入半山罗便臣道68号全幢住宅。翻查资料，未计是次收购，Weave Living今年已于香港和新加坡收购合共4个物业，现时在两地持有共10个物业，提供约1,500个住宿单位，包括年初斥13.75亿元购入大角咀九龙珀丽酒店。

分析指，近期各界均表达全面通关诉求，亦有消息指政府即将再放宽入境措施，以刺激商务活动。疫情持续近3年，在零旅客下，核心区的商铺以及酒店均受冲击，投资者亦未敢入市。预计进一步放宽措施，访港旅客可望增加，核心区零售物业、酒店等需求料向上，财团早著先机，现阶段趁物业价格未明显反弹，率先入市，部署日后迎接旅客重临；而全幢物业因灵活度高，加上价格已有回调，更吸引财团承接，相信短期内市场再录大额全幢物业成交。

恒基土瓜湾旧楼今强拍

近年恒基併购的土瓜湾一带旧楼群，近期陆续踏入收成期，最新该公司併购的土瓜湾道68A至70C号旧楼将于今日举行强制拍卖，底价为12.134亿。

底价逾12.1亿

该项目上月初获土地审裁处批出强制售卖令，底价为12.134亿。上述旧楼现址为一幢楼高9层的商住大厦，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅楼层，该旧楼早于1960年落成入伙，至今楼龄约62年，该项目邻近港铁土瓜湾站，具有一定重建价值。

地盘面积约12290方呎，包括941.31方呎的通行权，坐落于九龙土瓜湾道之西北面，介乎其与浙江街及落山道交界处，以最高9倍地积比率计，涉及可建楼面约10.4万方呎。

资料显示，恒基于土瓜湾道、下乡道，以及落山道一带有4个收购项目，已完成併购的有3个，为土瓜湾落山道58至70号、美华街1至9号及下乡道18至20号，若撇除上述已成功併购及是次获批强拍令的项目，该公司于毗a邻仍有1个项目待批强拍令，意味整个重建区版图已近乎完成。

可建楼面约10.4万呎

据该公司年报显示，上述4个项目合併后总地盘面积增至4.25万方呎，料重建后自佔商住总楼面约37.44万方呎。

该公司近年更积极扩展区内版图，除收购区内旧楼申请强拍外，去年9月更斥资81.89亿夺得市建局土瓜湾庇利街/荣光街重建项目，当时每方呎楼面地价约11414元。

有代理指出，是次拍卖的地盘面积过万方呎，为市区极罕有的发展机遇，而且土瓜湾区受惠沙中綫通车，近年区内有多项重建项目，发展前景乐观。

太古城车位三日即沽约20个

太古地产于2020年10月拆售太古城车位，当时只限屋苑业主购买，最新推售不设限，市场消息指，三天即沽约20车位，逾60%买家为街外客。

Price list for 50 flats released

Henderson Land Development (0012) has released the third price list for the second phase of its One Innovale development in Fan Ling, offering 50 homes at an average per square foot price of HK$14,783, roughly the same as the second one.

The batch, which comprises studio units to two-bedroom units, is priced from HK$4.1 million to HK$6.9 million after discounts, or from HK$13,458 to HK$17,996 per sq ft.

These flats are sized from 288 sq ft to 446 sq ft.

The developer said it has received 1,800 checks for the 193 flats on offer at One Innovale-Bellevue, making them more than eight times oversubscribed.

In Tin Shui Wai, phase three of Wetland Seasons Bay is more than 10 times oversubscribed after the home builder Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) collected more than 900 checks for the 80 units.

The homes will be put up for sale in the first round of sales on Thursday.

These flats include one- to three-bedroom units and are priced from HK$4.97 million to HK$8.85 million after discounts, or from HK$13,008 to HK$17,081 per sq ft.

(The Standard)

Hong Kong property market favours bargain hunters as prices drop, with 1 in 10 home sellers in August incurring a loss

The ratio of second-hand housing deals yielding capital gains has fallen by 6.8 percentage points since last year to below 90 per cent in August

Among 56 developments at railway stations, 30 saw the price per square foot decline in August, according to property agency

Hong Kong homebuyers with tight budgets may be able to take advantage of a downturn to find bargains – even flats being offered at a loss – as a looming prime rate hike and an ongoing wave of emigration continue to depress sales.

Upwards pressure on local interest rates is inevitable after the US Federal Reserve meeting in the United States later this week, agent said.

“Many second-hand property owners are willing to cut prices to sell, which attracts buyers to take the opportunity to pick up bargains,” the agent said.

If US interest rates increase by 1.5 to 1.75 per cent in total in September, November and December, home prices are likely to fall by as much as 8 per cent this year, so buyers can consider listings where the price has been cut by this much or more, a mortgage broker said.

Hong Kong’s homeowners and potential buyers are bracing for higher mortgage rates as the Fed is expected to lift benchmark borrowing costs by at least 75 basis points this week, according to Fed funds futures, with some traders pricing a full percentage point increase. That is in addition to increases of 225 basis points in the past four federal open market committee meetings this year.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the de facto central bank, has increased its base rate in lockstep due to the Hong Kong dollar’s linked exchange rate system. Mortgage brokers anticipate that local banks will raise the prime rate this week following the expected US rate hike.

Many owners are open to taking a loss to sell as soon as possible. At Cetus Square Mile in Tai Kok Tsui, for example, a flat measuring 417 sq ft changed hands at HK$7.91 million (US$1 million) in mid-September, according to a property agency, a loss of about 30 per cent from HK$11.07 million paid for it in 2018.

The ratio of second-hand housing deals that yield capital gains has fallen by 6.8 percentage points from the end of last year to 89.4 per cent in August, the biggest drop since the financial tsunami in 2008, according to another property agency. This means one in 10 sellers incurred a loss. The agency expects that the metric to dip further to 88 per cent this month.

Among 56 developments at railway stations, 30 saw the price per square foot decline in August, according to property agency. The biggest drop was at The Austin at Austin station, where prices fell 17.7 per cent to HK$24,060 in August.

Tsuen Wan, Kowloon Bay and Tuen Mun have the most discounted listings, according to another agency’s online listings. The highest proportion of discounted listings goes to flats measuring between 431 and 752 sq ft, according to the agency’s data.

For instance, at Summit Terrace in Tsuen Wan, a homeowner about to emigrate managed to sell a flat measuring 424 sq ft one day before departing the city in early September at HK$7.18 million, about 10 per cent below bank valuation, according to agency.

At City One Sha Tin, a proxy for smaller lump sum units, prices experienced a notable drop of 13.6 per cent year on year from the peak in September last year to HK$17,100 per square foot this month, according to another agency.

Three two-bedroom flats changed hands for less than HK$5 million in August, including one for HK$4.2 million, the lowest among all developments at railway stations, according to the agency.

In Taikoo Shing, representing the mid-price market, prices are down 17.3 per cent from the peak in June 2019 to HK$18,700 per square foot this month, according to the agency.

Some estates in Yuen Long, Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan, such as Tsuen Wan Centre, have seen per-square-foot prices fall below HK$10,000, an unusually low benchmark, according to the agency.

An market index has fell 0.3 per cent to 171.27 for the week ended September 11 – the lowest level since February 2019. The index has fallen 5.4 per cent over nine weeks and may fall this month to a low hit in 2019, according to the agency.

Valuations of lived-in homes remain weak, according to the index, a weekly gauge that tracks major banks’ valuations of used properties in 133 housing estates, compiled by the agency.

It fell to 14.1 in the week ended September 11, even lower than the 15.04 reading in March at the height of Hong Kong’s fifth wave of Covid-19 infections. A CVI below 40 indicates a bearish view of the market and a downward trend in home prices, while one above 60 points indicates a bullish trajectory.

商厦租赁市场表现正处于低谷。有代理行数据显示，上月份港岛区甲厦空置率录约10.38%，按月上升0.11个百分点，继7月份后再推升，该行指出，整体租务市场吹淡风。

该行代理表示，据统计，8月份港岛区整体甲厦空置率录约10.38%，比7月份上升0.11个百分点，按年高出0.59个百分点，突破历史新高。五大核心区仅中环微跌，空置率约9.09%，按月回落0.21个百分点，但对比2021年同期则仍高出1.80个百分点。整体市场气氛仍见疲弱，但亦有部分实力企业趁租金有不俗商议空间，趁势进驻一綫指标商厦。最新录中环中心低层03室，面积约2083方呎，以呎租约46元租出；资料显示，该单位于2019年中时呎租达约70元，最新租金跌约34%。

中环微跌0.21个百分点

铜锣湾区升幅最大，中环甲厦空置率则是港岛五大核心商业区中唯一录跌幅，8月份为9.09%，按月递减0.21个百分点。该行认为，中外通关是商厦市场走势关键，海外入境者隔离措施虽改为「3+4」，相比其他国家，对商务人士及企业吸引力不足，加上近期疫情再起变化，两大重要政策公布，《施政报告》及第20次全国代表大会，将于10月中出台，租客抱观望审慎态度。

代理续称，一綫商业地带金鐘8月甲厦空置率为9.23%，对比7月上升0.46个百分点，按年递增0.44个百分点，反映租赁气氛仍见疲弱。上环最新空置率录得约11.01%，按月递升0.22个百分点，较去年同期升1.60个百分点。

帝国黄竹坑甲厦命名S22

帝国集团旗下黄竹坑香叶道22号的甲厦，命名为「S22」，楼高28层，总楼面达16.35万方呎，楼高约 4.55米，平层面积约7600方呎。

总楼面达16.35万方呎

帝国集团董事郭基浩表示，自港铁南港岛綫通车，加上去年《施政报告》宣布的「跃动港岛南」，带动香港仔及黄竹坑一带建设，黄竹坑甲厦命名S22，其中 「S」有三重意义，代表地标项目香叶道22号，其次「S」亦取自父亲郭炳湘英文名字Sheung (湘)，最后，包含他们三子弟传承 (Succeed) 实现父亲宏愿，有成就未来 (Success) 的意念。至于S22标誌图案，更以三个字体相互支持，象徵三位儿女将集团发扬光大。

「S」有三重意义

帝国集团董事郭蕙珊表示，从S22步行1分鐘，即到达港铁黄竹坑站，两站即到达港铁金鐘站，通往中环、湾仔、尖沙嘴等核心商业区，相当之方便，因此，项目力吸企业、初创以至餐饮业进驻。

该项目着重环保，内更设绿色公共空间，引入新鲜空气及自然光，形成一套S22独有的环境生态系统。

永泰伙万科逾7.8亿夺沙田地 首次合作投住宅地 每呎楼面价8802元

沙田显和里「蚊型」住宅用地上周五截标，招标结果昨日揭盅，永泰地产与万科海外首度合作，以超过7.86亿力压16组财团投得，每方呎楼面地价约8802元，贴近市场估值上限。发展商表示，该区发展成熟，未来将发展中小型单位为主。

显和里「蚊型」住宅地竞投气氛不俗，上周截标合共接获17份标书，地政总署昨日公布招标结果，由永泰地产伙拍万科海外以7.8638亿投得，每方呎楼面地价约8802元，贴近市场估值上限，当时市场估值约6亿至8亿，每方呎楼面地价约6700至9000元，永泰地产及万科海外各佔项目50%权益。

力压16组财团投得

永泰地产投资及发展部董事总经理吴家煒表示，项目位置优越，毗邻港铁显径及大围双铁路站，兼享屯马綫及东铁綫便利，同时设有巴士及小巴连接各区，而且项目邻近即将开幕的全新大型港铁商场，区内生活配套完善。此外，由于区内发展成熟，衍生不少分支家庭，对优质住宅有一定需求。他又称，集团认为本港楼市将继续平稳发展，因此会持续从不同渠道增加土地储备作长远发展。

吴家煒：项目位置优越

万科香港执行董事兼副总经理周铭禧表示，该区铁路及巴士交通网络完善，而且生活配套发展成熟，加上区内近年鲜有地皮推出，已有一段时间没有新楼供应，相信积存不少置业需求，预计该地皮会用作发展中小型住宅，以满足市场需求。他又指，集团长远看好本港楼市发展。

周铭禧：发展中小型住宅

除中标的永泰地产及万科海外合组财团之外，其餘有份入标财团包括长实、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。

有测量师表示，上述地皮地价稍低于市区地价每呎约1万水平，可见发展商热衷竞投新界地皮。由于目前市场瀰漫加息等不利因素，合组财团可以分散投资风险。

另一测量师称，该地皮规模较细，为新界区较少供应的小型住宅用地，加上项目距离港铁显径站仅约10分鐘步程，交通方便。

由于项目规模及投资额相对较细，故参与入标的发展商数量颇多，反映发展商对优质中小型项目后市具一定信心，故竞投相对热烈。

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方呎计，是今季卖地表中最细的住宅用地，如以商住形式发展，涉及可建总楼面约110186方呎。

区内地皮短缺掀争购

近年本港土地供应短缺，不少发展商及财团均面对一地难求的局面，连中小型地皮亦获抢购，相隔6年后再有新供应的沙田显和里地皮，备受市场瞩目，上周共收17份标书，最终由永泰地产伙拍万科海外夺地。

其中万科海外更是首次「插旗」该区发展，而永泰地产更是自2013年1月以逾14.67亿投得同区九肚第56A区 (沙田市地段第565号) 豪宅地后 (现时发展为豪宅澐瀚)、当年每方呎楼面地价约10302元，意味，该公司相隔9年再次投得同区地皮。

邻近双港铁站优势

业内人士指，由于项目入场门槛不大，而且该区发展成熟，配套完善，并邻近双港铁站优势，是一大优点，而且区内物业一向不乏用家及投资者入市。

加上在北部都会区发展大计下，政府大力发展基建及新兴产业，对区内住宅有一定需求。虽然近期楼市充斥不少负面因素，市场预期美国联储局本周势加息，加上本港仍未通关，对楼市仍有影响，而合作发展可以分散投资风险。

有测量师表示，上述地皮在港铁大围站和显径站之间，两者均只需步行十多分鐘，可经东铁沙中綫或屯马綫前往核心商业区、北上前往国内均方便，再者政府大力发展北部都会区，以加快推动区内土地、房屋和交通基建等，是未来本港的发展重心。

另外，区内私人屋苑均受本地买家及内地学生欢迎，故该区用地备受市场欢迎。

资料显示，沙田区过往仍有不少用地批出，而邻近显和里的对上一次批出同类住宅地、为新地于2016年8月以23.6437亿投得的沙田多石街用地 (现已发展为新盘瓏珀山)，当年每方呎楼面地价约5448元；意味是该区相隔约6年再有同类住宅地新供应。

恒基底价12亿取土瓜湾旧楼 黄浩明：主力提供中小型住宅

受惠港铁屯马綫通车效应，土瓜湾区内旧楼陆续获收购重建，其中土瓜湾道68A至70C号旧楼昨日进行强拍，由恒基以底价12.134亿统一业权，以可建楼面约10.4万方呎计算，每呎楼面地价约11667元。恒基执行董事表示，预计日后将主力提供中小型单位。

黄浩明表示，集团在土瓜湾有两大主要项目，除是次强拍的项目外，还有市建局土瓜湾庇利街/荣光街重建项目。他又说，集团在土瓜湾道、下乡道及落山道一带地段，合共有4个发展项目，目前已收购3幅地皮，地盘面积合共约32220方呎，餘下1幅未完成收购地皮，地盘面积约1万方呎，当4个项目完成收购，将考虑共同重建发展，亦有机会因为发展时间不同，分为两个项目。

每呎楼面地价11667元

他续指，市面上5至6层高旧楼买少见少，餘下旧楼通常9至10层高，重建后新增楼面不太多，而且加息令发展商成本增加，要小业主满意收购价的同时，发展商又「计到数」相当不易，重建日益艰难，故希望政府能够降低强拍门槛，由现时80%降至约70%，作为一般标準，强调不应该「一刀切」，门槛应灵活变动，特定旧楼如附近曾发生火灾等，作为所谓「行动区」，区内旧楼强拍门槛可以酌情考虑更低。

倡政府灵活处理强拍门槛

至于息口走势，黄浩明认为置业人士早于半年前已有充足心理準备面对加息，相信息口短期变化，对买楼长期投资不会造成太大影响，楼价维持平稳。

土瓜湾道68A至70C号现为一幢9层高商住旧楼，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅楼层，部分交吉，部分连分租约、租约及准用书，设8条公共楼梯。该旧楼早于1960年落成入伙，至今楼龄约62年，地盘面积约12290方呎，包括941.31方呎的通行权，现划为「住宅 (甲类)」，以最高地积比率9倍计算，涉及可建楼面约10.4万方呎。

资料显示，恒基于土瓜湾道、下乡道，以及落山道一带有4个收购项目，已完成併购的有3个，分别为土瓜湾落山道58至70号、美华街1至9号及下乡道18至20号，若撇除上述已成功併购及是次强拍取得的项目，集团于毗邻仍有1个项目待批强拍令，意味整个重建区版图已近乎完成。

据恒基年报显示，上述4个项目合併后总地盘面积增至4.25万方呎，料重建后自佔商住总楼面约37.44万方呎。

玫瑰苑批强拍底价逾20亿

本港市区豪宅靚地新供应罕有，不少财团变阵向旧楼埋手密密併购，并透过强拍途径增土储，最新由财团申请强拍的九龙塘玫瑰苑获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价为20.75亿，对比申请强拍时估值约9.954亿高出10.796亿。

餘下8伙未收购

据土地审裁处文件显示，是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，具重建价值；该项目早于2020年由BREMONT INVESTMENTS LIMITED申请强拍，事隔近2年终于获该处批出强制售卖令，底价为20.75亿，对比当年强拍时估值约9.954亿，高出10.796亿，幅度超过1倍。

该财团由2020年申请时持有约80.30%业权，最新持有87.88%业权，目前餘下8个物业并未成功收购，该财团曾于2020年至2022年期间四度向小业主出价收购仍遭拒绝，其中2020年4月曾出价介乎约2508万至2761万，其后再于2021年4月及今年2月提高出价，最新今年7月出价增至介乎约3000万至3300万，其中1个单位由最初出价2670万，到今年7月出价增至3330万，升幅24.7%，仍未成功打动小业主。

料发展低密度豪宅

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，部分设施未能符合现代安全标準和法定要求，而且维修成本与重建成本不成比例，故重建发展是合适做法。

现址由约22幢楼高3层的住宅组成，早于于1967年落成，楼龄约55年；该项目地盘面积约38960方呎，属住宅 (丙类) 地带，最高地积比为3倍，涉及可建总楼面约116880方呎，料可发展成低密度豪宅。

Henderson extends To Kwa Wan reach with $1.2b win

Henderson Land Development (0012) has 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.

Located on To Kwa Wan Road, the building has a rebuildable area of 104,000 square feet, which indicates a gross floor price of HK$11,667 per square foot.

The nine-storey building, completed in 1960, is close to the To Kwa Wan MTR station.

Besides the bid, Henderson has already acquired three projects in To Kwa Wan. With the latest win on To Kwa Wan Road, the total site area of all four projects will be increased to 42,500 sq ft, and it is expected to offer about 374,400 sq ft of gross floor area for commercial and residential use after redevelopment.

In Kowloon Tong, the Lands Tribunal has approved the sale of a site with a reserve price of HK$2.08 billion, compared to the valuation of HK$995 million seen during applications for compulsory sales in 2020.

The project is about 39,000 sq ft and can be redeveloped into a floor area of about 117,000 sq ft with a plot ratio of 3.

Elsewhere, China's Vanke Overseas Investment (1036) and Wing Tai Properties (0369) have won the tender for a residential site at Hin Wo Lane in Sha Tin for HK$786.38 million, according to the Lands Department.

The project has a buildable floor area of over 89,000 square feet, which translates into a land premium of HK$8,802 per sq ft.

Vanke Overseas Investment expects the project to offer small- and medium-sized homes to meet market demand.

In the primary market, the third phase of Wetland Seasons Bay in Tin Shui Wai was about 14 times oversubscribed after the developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) received 1,200 checks for the 80 flats on offer.

Hongkongers snub second property sale in as many days, as MTR’s SouthLand becomes looming Fed rate hike’s latest victim

SouthLand, a project developed by RK Properties and MTR Corporation in Wong Chuk Hang, fails to sell a single unit two days before expected Fed rate hike

Only two out of 139 units were sold at Miami Quay in Kai Tak on Sunday

Hongkongers appeared to have been spooked by a looming increase in interest rates, as they snubbed another property sale in the space of two days.

As of 8pm on Tuesday, not a single unit had been sold out of the 139 flats on sale at SouthLand, a project developed by RK Properties and MTR Corporation in Wong Chuk Hang in Aberdeen, according to agents.

The sale came two days before a meeting of the US Federal Reserve, which is likely to increase interest rates by a further 75 basis points. With the Hong Kong dollar pegged to the US dollar, the Fed rate increase is expected to push Hong Kong’s commercial banks to increase their prime rates this month for the first time in four years.

“Everyone is waiting to see by how much the Fed is going to increase its interest rates. People are more cautious and are taking a wait-and-see approach,” an agent said. “Many homebuyers are still undecided, which is why transaction volumes are relatively poor.”

This is the second time in two days that Hong Kong developers have seen poor sales amid rising interest rates and an economy hobbled by coronavirus restrictions. On Sunday, only two units had sold out of the 139 on sale at Miami Quay in Kai Tak, the site of Hong Kong’s former airport.

Moreover, an announcement by John Lee Ka-chiu, Hong Kong’s leader, on Tuesday that his administration would create “maximum room” to reconnect the city with the world – which is being viewed as the strongest sign yet that hotel quarantine requirements for international arrivals will be scrapped soon – appeared to have done little to boost optimism among buyers.

The flats on offer at SouthLand have an average price of HK$35,804 (US$4,561) per square foot, with the most expensive unit priced at about HK$62 million and the cheapest at about HK$11 million, according to the property’s price list. The flats range in size from 290 sq ft to 2,083 sq ft and in layouts from studios to four-bedroom units.

SouthLand is the first project to sit atop a major subway station in about three decades. It was first launched in May last year, when its initial three rounds of sales were sold out.

The latest round of sales at the development comes amid a less accommodating economic landscape.

Home prices in Hong Kong have declined by about 5 per cent as of August, according to a property consultancy. The consultancy said that for the entire year, home prices will fall by as much as 8 per cent, while transactions are likely to slump by 35 per cent.

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 months of the year, confirming fears that stringent social distancing curbs had affected economic activity far more adversely than initially estimated. Last month, 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 that the economy was likely to see a growth of 1 to 2 per cent.

A potential full reopening of Hong Kong’s borders might have drawn a muted response from buyers, but it can only benefit the property industry, as it would expand the pool of tenants and investors in the local market, another agent said.

“This will potentially lead to a rebound in property prices.”

疫市下大手买卖畅旺，九龙湾高银金融国际中心早前招标，经过第二轮角逐后，终于落实出售，市场消息指作价逾65亿，成为今年以来暂录最大宗买卖，平均呎价7800元，低市价逾25%，可见买家趁疫市「低捞」。

九龙湾高银金融国际中心放售多时，去年曾经「成功」出售，最后未如期成交，该幢商厦于今年5月再度推出招标，入标除了发展商、还有外资基金及用家，并于上月底第二轮角逐截标后，最终刚落实出售 市场消息指出，该全幢作价逾65亿，为今年以来最大宗买卖，该宗交易亦是去年由亿京合组财团，以约105亿购入九龙湾国际展贸中心后，区内再录瞩目的大买卖。

每呎约7800元低25%

市场人士分析，若以该厦总楼面82.5万方呎计算，平均呎价逾7800元，九龙湾甲厦成交呎价普遍由约1万至逾1.2万，相比之下，高银金融国际中心较最低呎价低约25%，可见买家趁疫市「低捞」，该厦现时出租率约60%，呎租介乎27至33元，回报逾4厘。

高银于2011年7月以34亿投得该商业地皮，并于2016年入伙，作为集团总部及收租用途，近两年来，高银金融陷入财困，曾多次抵押该厦，包括新加坡主权基金GIC、德意志银行及发展商南丰，都是债权人，于2020年7月遭优先抵押票据持有人 (GIC及德意志银行) 委任的接管人Borrelli Walsh入稟，要求接管高银金融国际中心，并于同年9月，物业被接管人委託标售，其后高银金融公布以143亿向商人FONG Tim出售物业，但未有如期成交。

直至本年5月，物业再由接管人委託测量师行标售，当时，负责招标的测量师行曾指，物业相关法律争议已获裁决，故成功出售机会甚高。

连约回报逾4厘

有代理形容，买家趁疫市下「买得抵」，高银金融国际中心写字楼平均呎租约30元，回报甚高，该厦位处单边，建筑具特色，里外都特别阔落，况且，九龙湾商厦租户都是大公司，在此设立后勤部门，区内规划佳，街道不塞车，未来发展潜力看高一綫。

观塘项目料获城规「开绿灯」 市建申请放宽商业限制具弹性

市建局观塘市中心重建计画第4和第5发展区，本月初共收24份意向书，料快将推出招标；该项目早前向城规会提交修订申请，调整酒店、写字楼及商业零售组合比例，增加项目发展弹性，容许中标发展商视乎需要「变阵」，包括可放弃兴建酒店等，惟整个项目可建总楼面维持约216.59万方呎不变，最新获规划署不反对，城规会将于周五 (23日) 举行会议审议，料会「开绿灯」通过。

规划署指，考虑到相关决策局 / 部门的意见，以及区内现有及规划中的酒店可满足需求，而容许灵活提供酒店的建议未必不合理，而且规划意图是增强活力和改善重建区环境；另外拟议修订属于技术性，并且批准方案下的布局和整体建筑体积和建筑形式将被保留，认为是次方案不太可能对视觉和空气通风造成重大不利影响。

昨获规划署不反对

上述观塘市中心主地盘第4及第5发展区项目位于新盘凯滙对出，毗邻港铁观塘站，地盘面积约26.5万方呎，包括约26.25万方呎政府土地。以地积比8.17倍发展，兴建2幢楼高13至64层、另有5层地库的综合商业大楼，可建总楼面约216.59万方呎；商业用途分布相当有弹性，最大修订为酒店部分由指定兴建约34万方呎，修订为不设楼面面积下限至最多34.44万方呎，意味中标财团可选择不兴建酒店或最多提供400间酒店客房。

月初已收24份意向书

其次，写字楼部分由列明须兴建约70万方呎楼面，最新修订为70.89万方呎至137.37万方呎。最后商业用途楼面 (商店及服务行业、食肆、娱乐场所及教育机构)，零售部分由原来指定须兴建约100万方呎楼面，最新修订为69.97万方呎至102万方呎。另项目亦设有约7.08万方呎政府、机构或社区设施楼面，及提供约2.18万方呎的公共交通交汇处。

资料显示，该项目已于本月7日截收意向书，当时共收约24份意向书，据了解，已知有递交意向书的财团包括长实、新地、恒基、信和、会德丰地产、鹰君、华懋、远东发展及中国海外。

可放弃兴建酒店

整个观塘重建项目早于2005年展开，项目第1期为前观塘 (月华街) 巴士总站，由信和重建为住宅项目观月．樺峯，涉299伙；而第2至3期则为信和伙拍华人置业发展的商住项目凯滙，涉及1999伙。

另外，在商业气氛不景气下，早前啟德多幅商业地均流标收场，城规会将啟德区5幅商业地改划发展，有3幅成功改划作住宅发展，惟跑道区4C区4号及4C区5号两幅商业地，则未能通过改划发展，合共可提供147.54万方呎商业楼面。

Hong Kong’s Goldin Financial Global Centre Sold After Two Year Battle

Hong Kong’s Goldin Financial Global Centre has sold after a two year struggle over the Kowloon East office tower.

A social media post by a property consultancy, which has been managing a tender of the 28-storey building on behalf of creditors stiffed by defaulting mainland conglomerate Goldin Financial declared the sale on Wednesday evening without providing details on pricing or the identity of the buyer.

Local press reports have cited deal amounts of between HK$6.8 billion ($866 million) to HK$7.0 billion for the 852,501 square foot (79,200 square metre) tower, pricing the deal at HK$7,977 per square foot or more. Mingtiandi was not able to independently verify financial details of the transaction.

At the reported HK$6.8 billion price, which some analysts believe to be optimistic, the 2016-vintage, grade A asset would be selling for around 44 percent below the HK$12 billion minimum set in an initial tender commenced in September 2020 after the property was seized by receivers in July of that year.

In December of 2019 Goldin Financial had valued the Leed Platinum building then used as its headquarters at HK$18.3 billion.

Game Over

At the reported price, the sale should provide relief to holders of HK$6.8 billion in senior notes issued by Goldin in April of 2019 and with Deutsche Bank affiliate DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Ltd acting as trustee.

After a series of record-setting land buys in Hong Kong, Goldin defaulted on the notes, which were backed by a trust deed on the Goldin Financial Global Centre, and receivers were appointed to redeem the asset.

In late 2020, in a move seen by some observers as an attempt to block the receivers’ tender of the building, Goldin announced that a businessman under the name “Fong Tim” had agreed to buy the building at 17 Kai Cheung Road in Kowloon Bay, stalling moves by creditors. When that sale failed to proceed, and after a protracted legal battle was declared void, the purported buyer was forced to forfeit a HK$2.03 billion deposit.

A fresh tender for the building was launched in May, with media reports earlier this month naming local development giant Nan Fung as the buyer. Representatives of the property consultancy earlier denied naming Nan Fung as the buyer and today declined to provide further details on the sale. Inquiries to Nan Fung went unanswered at the time of publication.

Down Market

At the reported price, the sale of the Goldin Financial Global Centre would mark the largest single asset transaction in Hong Kong’s real estate market so far this year, as rising interest rates and an economic slowdown in China have undermined the world’s most expensive commercial real estate market.

Reported to be 30 percent vacant in May of this year, Goldin’s erstwhile trophy has struggled as a high-specification building in a secondary location within the emerging Kowloon East commercial hub at a time when occupiers have been cutting back their footprints and investors have been keeping their checkbooks locked away.

From March 2019 through March 2022 Hong Kong’s grade A office market contracted by 3.1 percent according to a report released this month by another property consultancy, with the total area of desk space occupied in the city shrinking by 2.3 million square feet, or the equivalent of three major office towers.

“Since mid-2019, company downsizing has been a prominent trend and led to substantial contraction in total occupied space and record-high vacancy in Hong Kong’s Grade A office market, triggering the longest and deepest downturn as a result,” the consultancy said in a statement.

Three big deals for handsome homes struck

A member of "King of Jeans" Tony Lau Hon-chung's family appears to be the new owner of a highly desirable house on The Peak.

The property is 3B of Gough Hill Residences with an area of 4,299 square feet, which was put up for sale by Kimbee Lau Chan Hoi-wan, the chief executive of Chinese Estates (0127) and wife of Joseph Lau Luen-hung. Featuring a garden and swimming pool of 5,314 sq ft and a rooftop of 1,717 sq ft, the house was put on sale for HK$600 million, or HK$14,000 per square foot, in October 2021.

It had been bought for HK$180 million in 2009 by an overseas registered company, Active City.

According to the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, a mortgage loan for the house was sought by Anthony Lau Chi-sing.

Anthony Lau is also the sole board director of Active City now that Joseph Lau and Kimbee Lau have quit.

Tony Lau is also the brother of former legislator Sophie Leung Lau Yau-fun, who purchased a house at 16 Repulse Bay Road for HK$160 million in 1999 from Chinese Estates, in which Joseph Lau and his wife have controlling interests.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong celebrity Wong Cho-lam has sold a luxury home in Tai Po for HK$45.8 million, or HK$27,005 per sq ft.

The four-bedroom unit in Mayfair By The Sea has a floor area of 1,696 sq ft and a garden of 928 sq ft.

Wong made 23 percent more from the deal, having bought the property for just over HK$37 million in 2016.

Another big deal involves the family of Yeung Yiu-chung, the late "King of Industrial Buildings," who last month bought a home at Leighton Hill, Happy Valley for HK$102 million, or HK$59,165 per square foot.

The Yeung family paid HK$30.6 million with 30 percent stamp duty for the property that has a floor area of 1,724 sq ft.

Meanwhile, the primary market remains hot with developers attracting buyers to two new projects.

The second phase of One Innovale, built by Henderson Land Development (0012) in Fan Ling, has drawn more than 2,200 checks for 193 units on the first three price lists, making the batch 11.4 times oversubscribed.

And Wetland Seasons Bay in Tin Shui Wai was about 23 times oversubscribed after developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) received 1,870 checks for the 80 flats on offer.

4,500 flats to go on sale at less than half market value under Hong Kong housing scheme, amid fears nano units will not sell

Chairwoman of authority’s subsidised housing committee remains hopeful shoebox flats will sell, others are less optimistic

Around 10 per cent of units on sale are shoebox flats, smaller than 230 sq ft

More than 4,500 subsidised flats in Hong Kong will be offered to buyers at less than half their market value next week, but a concern group has warned that demand for the smallest homes is expected to be weak.

The Housing Authority on Wednesday said 4,693 flats, ranging in size from 184 sq ft to 489 sq ft would go on sale under the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme starting on September 29. About 10 per cent of the flats are smaller than 230 sq ft.

Cleresa Wong Pie-yue, chairwoman of the authority’s subsidised housing committee, said the proportion of small flats in the latest round had been reduced and she remained hopeful buyers would be interested.

“I cannot say there is a zero chance of a sales slump, but these small flats are of better quality, with easy access to railway stations nearby,” she said.

“Despite an increase in interest rates, these flats are cheaper … even though the economy is not booming, some residents will still be interested.”

The flats will be sold at a 59 per cent discount on the market price, and range in price from HK$750,000 (US$95,000) to HK$2.71 million. The application process will run until October 12, with the lottery to be held in the fourth quarter.

Subsidised nano flats sold slowly previously. More than 780 offered by authority previously went unsold for more than a month last year, with over 500 of them left over from 2020.

According to the authority, 160 homes at Kam Pak Court in Ma On Shan measure about 184 sq ft, while 387 at Ko Wang Court in Yau Tong range from 185 sq ft to 223 sq ft. The rest of the 3,370 units at the two estates and the 776 flats at Ching Tao Court in Fanling fall between 277 sq ft and 489 sq ft.

But Thomas Wong Ka-ki, community officer with the Federation of Public Housing Estates, said he was less optimistic that demand for the shoebox flats would be high.

“These two estates have flats under 180 sq ft. I believe that the applicants will find them less attractive. The advantage is that they are located closer to railway stations so single applicants may be willing to purchase them … I think these flats will take time to be sold out,” Wong said.

He added that buyers’ enthusiasm might not be affected by the sluggish property market as they tended to purchase flats for self-use.

But Wong noted that buyers could only resell their flats five years after the purchase, a tightened requirement from the previous two years, saying this could make them more cautious in making decisions.

He urged the government to review the subsidised housing policy by setting a minimum flat size requirement of 280 sq ft, resembling the rule for the private market, while keeping the proportion of small flats to about one-fifth of the total supply in each batch.

“If these subsidised flats are small in size, applicants with three to four members will not be willing to move out of their rental housing and purchase them,” Wong said.

Launched in 2016, the scheme aims to sell subsidised homes to tenants of public rental housing.

在加息等多项不利因素下，甲厦投资气氛一片死寂，业界人士预计短期内投资者仍会观望，交投将持续淡静一段时间。

据一间本地代理行的10大指标甲厦统计上，8月港九10幢指标物业包括力宝中心、信德中心及新文华中心等，录得零成交，可见市况甚差。

近日核心区较大手买卖，为中环皇后大道中118至120号联盛大厦全幢易手，物业地盘面积约1,127平方呎，楼高11层，总楼面约10,704平方呎，项目以近3亿元成交，呎价约2.8万元。新买家为本地投资耆，料购入后稍作翻新。原业主为资深投资者罗守辉，于2002年以约3,038万元购入，持货20年获利近2.7亿元，升值约9倍。

8月空置率10.38% 创新高

空置率统计上，据该行统计，8月港岛区整体甲厦空置率录得约10.38%，比7月上升0.11个百分点，按年亦高出0.59个百分点，再次突破历史新高记录。5大核心区中仅中环区表现较佳，录得轻微跌幅，该区8月指标商厦空置率录得约9.09%，按月回落0.21个百分点，但对比2021年同期则仍高出1.80个百分点。

整体市场气氛仍见疲弱，租务表现则相对平稳，如中环中心低层03室，面积约2,083平方呎，以呎租约46元租出；资料显示，该单位于2019年中时呎租达约70元，最新租金下跌约34%。

另其他港岛区4大核心区租务活动就较为淡静，一綫商业地带金鐘8月甲厦空置率为9.23%，对比7月上升0.46个百分点，按年递增0.44个百分点，反映租赁气氛仍见疲弱。上环方面，该区最新指标商厦空置率录得约11.01%，按月递升0.22个百分点，较去年同期更明显上升1.60个百分点。湾仔8月甲级商厦空置率约12.73%，按月上升0.38个百分点，但对比2021年8月则有约0.41个百分点的跌幅。铜锣湾为5区中按月升幅最高，由7月约8.60%增加至最新约9.32%，不过按年比较则表现最好，回落1.82个百分点。

业界认为有利用家入市

对于交投淡静，该行代理分析，整体商厦市场受多项不利因素影响，包括美国加息步伐急、环球局势紧张、香港亦未与外地通关等夹击，令商业气氛一般，而投资者普遍希望再加以观察，故料交投将持续淡静。该代理认为，由于价格相对已回调，故现时较适合用家入市，相信市场将录用家入市个案比例增加。

商厦租赁市场疫市而行

政府早前缩短海外抵港人士检疫期为「3+4」，虽有刺激市场作用，但因尚未完全通关，对外来游客及投资者吸引力有限，来港意慾未算高涨，因此多间航空公司均表示暂时未计划恢復疫情前的航班数量。市场人士认为，在此情况下，反而形成了甲级商业大厦承租个案上升的情况。

根据一间本地代理行资料显示，写字楼租金轻微向上，甲厦租金8月份按月升0.8%。湾仔及铜锣湾区的甲厦空置率由7月份的8%下跌至8月份7.3%，可见市场对商厦租赁需求有上升迹象。

中綫投资者手持优质甲厦

通关无期，现时有不少中綫投资者因应市况，把物业由放售改为放租。他们持有的物业质素普遍较佳，通常属于甲级商厦，单位附设装修、海景等，可即租即用。由于这批业主想尽快放租，价钱及租期上可商议的空间大，细节条款相对更容易洽询。至于长綫投资者：他们需顾及大厦整体租金水平，因此不会因个别单位而降低租金，议价空间有限、加上大业主持有的物业通常不设装修，只有天花装置提供、他们亦会考虑租客背景、租期等因素……可见长綫投资者选择租客态度更为谨慎、局限较多。在经济不明朗的环境下，对于中小企业或初创公司来说，中綫投资者持有的单位限制较少、租金相宜。附设的装潢又可以节省开支，吸引未有业绩背景支持的初创公司承租。综合以上因素，这批放租物业成为他们不二之选。

另一方面，由于市场资金仍充裕，核心区商厦于疫市下仍录大手成交：包括上海商业总会以1.2亿元购入中环南华大厦7楼全层，呎价约2.9万元，创该厦历来呎价新高。市场人士认为，现时正值为写字楼市场的传统淡季，市场表现虽较为平淡，但业主及租客在疫市下各自其志，形成新气象，相信未来若能全面恢復通关，市场对写字楼的租赁需求上升，交投气氛将会更热烈。

Home completions hit 18-year high

More than 13,000 private homes were completed in the first seven months this year, marking an 18-year high.

Buildings Department data showed that a total of 1,131 units from three projects were completely built in July, a 25 percent rise from the 902 homes in June.

For the seven-month period, 13,195 units were completed in 36 projects, 31 percent more than the same period in 2021. The figure was also a high going back to 2005.

Of the three projects completed last month, China Overseas Land and Investment's (0688) One Victoria in Kai Tak will offer 1,059 homes. Madera Garden in Ho Man Tin, developed by Hip Shing Hong, followed with 71 units, while Jardine's Lookout also reported the completion of a house, No 8 Henderson Road.

A property agent expects that more big projects to come, including The Arles in Fo Tan (1,335 units) and The YOHO Hub in Yuen Long (1,030 units).

But the agent is worried that the final completed units might miss the 22,850 forecast for the year, as the fifth Covid wave has caused delays at some projects.

The news comes as the grade A office market saw a negative net rental absorption of 29,200 sq ft last month, according to another property agency.

Though office supply exceeds demand, the overall vacancy rate stayed flat at 9.6 percent by the end of August.

Overall rents dropped further by 0.3 percent monthly, with Central seeing a 0.4 percentdip and Causeway Bay 0.3 percent, while Tsim Sha Tsui saw a slight 0.1 percent rise.

In the primary market, the second phase of One Innovale in Fan Ling has unveiled a fourth price list, offering 50 units at an average HK$14,848 after discounts.

Henderson Land Development (0012) has received over 2,400 checks, about nine times oversubscribed.

Cash-strapped Hong Kong-listed firm Goldin’s former headquarters sells for between HK$6.5 billion and HK$7 billion, according to media reports

A property consultancy declines to provide details about the buyer or transaction amount

At its highest, the sales price is about 30 per cent lower than estimates of HK$10 billion

Goldin Financial Global Centre, the 28-storey former headquarters of cash-strapped Goldin Financial Holdings, has been sold for between HK$6.5 billion (US$828 million) and HK$7 billion, according to local media.

A property consultancy declined to provide details about the buyer or transaction amount on Thursday.

But local media outlets such as Sing Tao, Hong Kong Economic Times and Ming Pao reported that the grade A office tower in Hong Kong’s Kowloon Bay district sold in this price range, which at its highest is about 30 per cent lower than an estimated sales price of HK$10 billion.

Hong Kong-listed Goldin Financial Holdings holds Chinese tycoon Pan Sutong’s finance and real estate development businesses. The firm and its creditors have been engaged in a tussle since July 2020 over who controlled the building, which the developer has used as collateral for loans. Pan resigned as Goldin’s chairman in June this year.

The building has an area of 920,000 sq ft spread across 28 floors above ground and three basement floors, Savills said earlier. Each floor has a gross floor area of around 35,000 sq ft.

“We will see more of Pan and Goldin’s assets being sold to pay debts, or sold by creditors like this, as he has to find a way to pay his debts,” said Kenny Ng Lai-yin, a strategist at Everbright Securities International.

The sale draws to an end the long-drawn tale of debt-laden Goldin’s flagship property.

On September 28, 2020, the receivers appointed a property consultancy to sell the building after the developer failed to meet its debt obligations. But two days later, Goldin said it had entered into a provisional sale-and-purchase agreement for the building with an independent third party for HK$14.3 billion.

Two months later, however, the receivers said the company had no right to sell it. Then on October 29 the same year, the Hong Kong High Court ruled that Pan, Goldin’s chairman back then, had lost control of its assets to creditors.

The receivers sold the building, located at 17 Kai Cheung Road, for a reported HK$14 billion later that year, but failed to complete the deal.

The sale of Goldin Financial Global Centre will, however, not bring any relief to Goldin, and the firm’s debt woes are far from over.

In October 2020, a unit of Deutsche Bank filed a petition in Bermuda for the liquidation of Goldin Financial Holdings.

In May this year, a division of the Bank of China filed a bankruptcy petition against Pan in Hong Kong for an outstanding debt of 740 million yuan (US$105.4 million). In July, the Hong Kong High Court ordered that the tycoon declare bankruptcy and unwind one of his holding companies over unpaid liabilities of HK$8 billion owed to China Citic Bank. The order is being appealed.

The firm had recorded a loss of around HK$1.4 billion, with its liabilities reaching HK$7.5 billion, as of June 30, 2021. The company postponed its annual results for last year, citing disruptions caused by Covid-19 and related restrictions.

First-home buyers swoop in on Sun Hung Kai’s Wetland flats to get ahead of Hong Kong’s first mortgage hikes in four years

All 80 flats on offer at Sun Hung Kai Properties’ Wetland Seasons Bay project were sold on Thursday, agents said

The flats were offered at HK$14,344 per square foot, about 2.5 per cent cheaper than the average price of the previous phase of the project

Hong Kong’s homebuyers swooped in on the weekday sale of a popular property project on Thursday,, as they exploited a slim window before the city’s first increases in mortgage rates take effect.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) sold all 80 flats on offer in the third phase of its Wetland Seasons Bay project in Tin Shui Wai, agents said. As many as 23 bidders went after each available unit, with 1,870 registrations of intent received.

The flats were offered at HK$14,344 per square foot, about 2.5 per cent cheaper than the average price of the previous phase of the project, translating to HK$4.97 million (US$633,159) for a unit measuring 356 sq ft (33 square metres) after discount.

The small offering is likely to sell out, considering the 75-basis point increase in the city’s base rate, because “it caters to users’ demand with appropriate pricing and a good location”, a property agent said.

The limited offer came on the day when five of Hong Kong’s largest banks raised their prime rates for the first time in four years, hot on the heels of the 75-basis point increase in the base rate by the local monetary authority. The higher rates kick in a day later at the earliest, with Bank of China (Hong Kong) making its loans more expensive by 12.5 basis points five days later.

Many outstanding home mortgage loans in Hong Kong are based on the prime rate, the rate that banks charge their best customers. The payment of a typical HK$5 million, 28-year mortgage loan with a 2.75-percentage point discount to the prime rate will cost 1.6 per cent more, or by HK$323, to HK$21,029 per month after the latest rate increases, according to a local mortgage broker.

The latest phase of Wetland Seasons Bay received the lowest registrations of interest compared with earlier offerings, when as many as 33 bids were after each unit during a sales launch in August 2021.

It has also fared better than SouthLand, developed by RK Properties and MTR Corporation at Wong Chuk Hang in Aberdeen, which flopped earlier this week during its launch. The project, priced at HK$35,804 per square foot on average, failed to find a single buyer for the 139 units on offer.

“Interest rates are on an upwards trend, but property is a long-term investment, [so] short-term interest rate fluctuations will not hinder the public’s desire to buy a home,” said Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency’s general manager Allen Woo before Thursday’s sale. “Buyers who have actual housing needs have already considered the factor of rising interest rates. In addition, the project provides a fixed-rate second mortgage payment plan.”

A decline in home prices is widely anticipated in Hong Kong, as the city’s economy grapples with a technical recession and interest rates at a 14-year high. A property consultancy said that it expected an overall drop of between 10 and 12 per cent in mass housing prices this year.

A market index has fell 0.3 per cent to 171.27 for the week ended September 11, its lowest level since February 2019.

The September index may drop to a level last seen in 2019, after declining by 7.2 per cent over the previous nine months, a property agency said.

“Due to the economic downturn, buyers all hope that prices will be set more cheaply,” agent said. “The positioning and unit size of this project are suitable for young people buying their first homes.

“Many young people in Hong Kong want to buy a house and have their own new world, so this project is very popular.”

How Hong Kong homebuyers have seen their purchasing power shrink by HK$1 million since January

The erosion in buying power comes after increases in both the Hibor and banks’ prime rates

It is worrying that interest rates are on a rising trend, mortgage holder says

Owning a home in Hong Kong seems to get tougher by the day. While potential homebuyers might have lost HK$1 million (US$127,390) in buying power so far this year, homeowners will see their mortgage payments go up after banks in the city raised their prime rates from today.

Hongkongers with a monthly budget of HK$17,000 for a mortgage could borrow HK$5 million at 1.45 per cent annually from a bank and buy a home priced at HK$5.5 million in January, according to a local mortgage broker. Fast forward to Friday, potential buyers with the same budget can only borrow about HK$4 million and buy a home worth HK$4.4 million.

The erosion in their buying power is because of two key references for the city’s mortgage rates, the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rates (Hibor) and banks’ prime rates, both of which have surged this year.

“Potential homebuyers with limited budgets for monthly mortgages will have no choice but to shift their focus to cheaper homes,” a property agent said. They should calculate carefully, as mortgages will almost certainly “continue to rise after further US interest rate hikes this year,” the agent added.

The Hibor has continued to climb after the Hong Kong Monetary Authority lifted its base rate to defend the city’s currency peg to the US dollar, following five interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve this year.

As a result, the mortgage rate for September now stands at 2.875 per cent, the mortgage broker said, versus 1.45 per cent in January.

The latest increase has forced the city’s commercial banks to also raise their best lending rates. Five major lenders boosted their prime rates by 12.5 basis points with effect from today. The rate HSBC, Hang Seng Bank and Bank of China (Hong Kong) (BOCHK) will climb to 5.125 per cent, while the cost at Standard Chartered and Bank of East Asia will rise to 5.375 per cent.

The burden for homeowners has also grown, and there is concern that it will only worsen.

“I paid about HK$1,000 more this month compared with July, and I am starting to feel the heavier financial burden,” said Natalie Gao, 35, who works in the financial industry. She bought a one-bedroom, 400 sq ft home in Hong Kong’s Discovery Bay in 2018 for about HK$5 million.

“I have already cut some spending on dining out and cook more at home,” she said. “But that might not be enough. I am thinking of repaying some of the mortgage in advance to ease some future pressure.”

Others too are preparing for rainy days ahead. Katie Chan, a white-collar worker, bought a 700 sq ft flat on one of the city’s outer islands seven years ago with a mortgage loan from BOCHK of HK$1.2 million priced at the prime rate minus 2.75 percentage points.

With the increase in prime rates today, Chan will need to pay about HK$200 more every month.

“It is not too painful at just HK$200 per month. However, what is more worrying is that interest rates are on a rising trend, which means banks may increase their prime rates by two or three more times in the following months,” she said.

“If the prime rate increases by 1 full percentage point, I expect I would need to pay about HK$1,000 more per month for my mortgage. I can afford it, but I will start to feel the pain.”

近月出现财困的内房恒大 (03333)，其位于湾仔的总部中国恒大中心，近期被接管，现接管人推出物业标售，下月底截标，市场估值约80亿至90亿，较购入价低近4成。

接管人推全幢招标 下月底截标

湾仔全幢商厦罕有出售，有代理行表示，接管人 (安迈企业諮询) 现正公开招标出售中国恒大中心全幢物业。现以现状连租约出售，截标日期为2022年10月31日 (星期一) 正午12时。

早于今年中，恒大委託测量师行标售其总部大厦中国恒大中心，并于7月初截标。当时长实 (01113) 确认入标，最终项目未有售出，而本月初，物业遭债权人申请委任接管人接管。据文件显示，债权人为中信银行国际，据悉或与恒大此前抵押中国恒大中心，换取76亿元贷款融资有关。

该行代理表示，物业为湾仔告士打道之上仅有5幢属单一业权并具备总部规格的商厦之一，项目佔地约23,021平方呎，享三面单边楼面。物业楼高27层，政府批则总面积约345,423平方呎，写字楼层的每层面积介乎1.2万至1.4万平方呎，连同55个车位。

据悉，项目现时出租率近8成，包括恒大使用的多层。市值方面，因整体商厦空置率偏高，租售价已明显回调，估计现时项目值约80亿至90亿元，较2015年恒大约125亿元购入价，最多跌近4成。

去年8月，当时传出中国恒大积极套现，拟出售湾仔中国恒大中心，市值料逾百亿元，更传出获国企越秀地产以约100亿元洽购，并洽谈至最后阶段。

惟去年10月，消息指越秀董事会最终否决有关建议，因忧虑恒大尚未解决的债务问题，最终退出收购。

尖东滙丰银行铺9700万沽

核心区录大额铺位成交，消息指，尖东滙丰银行铺位，以约9,700万元成交，原业主持货10年，获利约4,700万元。

市场人士指，尖东东海商业中心地下12至14号铺位易手，物业面积约2,951平方呎，以约9,700万元成交，该铺由滙丰银行以每月约30万元租用。

投资者卖4铺 10年赚4700万

据悉，原业主为铺位投资者，于2013年以9,500万元购入东海商业中心地下4个铺位，而当时正值铺位投资商峰期，购入不久便以4,500万元摸出其中一铺位，相隔10年后，现以9,700万元再沽出餘下3铺位，合共套现约1.42亿元。原业主持货10年，分阶段沽货获利约4,700万元。据了解，该名投资者早前以6,300万元，低价购入同区栢丽购物大道地下至1楼复式铺位。

另有代理行综合土地註册处资料显示，8月份商铺註册宗数录89宗 (主要反映7月份市况)，按月下约跌11%；註册金额约15.94亿元，按月下跌约45.1%。

该行预期，政府宣布放宽入境措施可以为来港旅游、投资和工作的人士提供更多便利。不过，由于放宽防疫措施至疫情前的状况亦需要一定时间，相信商铺成交量未必会迅速反弹。

Evergrande set for beating in sale of HK flagship tower

China Evergrande's (3333) building in Wan Chai was put for sale by tender until the end of next month and might change hands at a price that is 28 percent lower than the HK$12.5 billion it paid for the property in 2015.

China Evergrande Centre at 38 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, was recently commissioned by the receiver Alvarez & Marsal to a property consultancy to sell in a tender.

The 27-story building has a total area of about 345,423 square feet, with each floor having 12,000 to 14,000 sq ft, and 55 parking spaces.

Documents show the creditor is China CITIC Bank International, a subsidiary of state-owned China CITIC Bank (0998), and the sale may have been occasioned by a HK$7.6 billion mortgage that Evergrande took on its Hong Kong headquarters.

It bought the building from Chinese Estates Holdings (0127) in 2015 for HK$12.5 billion.

In October 2021, Yuexiu Property (0123) reportedly planned to buy it for HK$10.5 billion, but the deal failed to go through over concerns that Evergrande's unpaid liabilities could jeopardize it.

Evergrande, in June, tried to auction it off and got a bid of HK$9 billion from CK Asset Holdings (1113), 28 percent lower than its purchase price.

As of August, the overall vacancy rate of grade-A offices was 9.6 percent, up by 7.9 percentage points compared with September 2015, and that is believed to have caused the valuation of Evergrande's flagship in Hong Kong to plunge.

HKMA easing rates bounce in property deals

Transactions at 10 major housing estates rebounded after the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's announcement of relaxed stress test requirements but that came amid more price slashing.

A property agency recorded 10 at 10 major housing estates at the weekend, up 11.1 percent, or one more deal, returning to the double-digit level.

It said the HKMA easing and the quarantine policy relaxation will ease pressure brought on by interest rate hikes on buyers and stimulate property market transactions.

Another agency saw nine deals at the 10 estates, which was also one more than the eight that it saw a week ago.

Prices of some secondary-market flats saw significant drops, with a mid-level unit in Shatin City One selling for HK$3.95 million after a discount of about HK$550,000.

The asking price of a one-bedroom unit in Lohas Park fell from HK$6.68 million to HK$6.4 million recently.

The HKMA lowered its interest rate stress testing requirement for mortgage lending by banks from 300 to 200 basis points on Friday. It said the move was taken in response to changes in their risk management needs, taking into account the interest rate environment and the trend of mortgage rates, as well as past long-term averages, and is not related to countercyclical macroprudential measures.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) yesterday said it is adding 43 units to its third price list for Wetland Seasons Bay's third phase after it sold out all 80 units in the first batch on Thursday. Their average price is HK$14,745 per square foot without any discount.

Shop deals turnover hit by 45pc plunge

Transactions of commercial properties came in at HK$1.59 billion last month, 45.1 percent less than July, amid no hints of when quarantine-free travel will return and the reopening of the border with the mainland.

The transaction volume also fell 11 percent to 89, according to the data from a property agency and the Land Registry.

Though the figures mainly reflect the market situation in July, the sluggish demand is taking its toll on the commercial property sector.

To remain competitive for global capital and talents, the SAR administration late last week canceled the so-called "three-plus-four" arrangement, made up of three days in a designated quarantine hotel and four days of medical surveillance for new arrivals, to a "zero-plus-three" system.

However, property agent said that the change might have only a limited effect in boosting the property market.

The agent also expects tourism to fail to recover to prepandemic levels despite the relaxed quarantine requirements, which may continue to stunt commercial property transactions.

Hong Kong officials have said it is hard to come up with a roadmap for quarantine-free travel.

宽检疫至「0+3」 业界料带动商厦需求

政府放宽入境检疫措施至「0+3」，业界人士普遍认为对重啟商务往来有正面作用，料写字楼需求相对受惠。

首阶段料写字楼较受惠

有代理认为，是次放宽入境检疫至「0+3」，对商务活动恢復是好开始，海外商务旅客可慢慢重返，故首阶段料对写字楼需求有推动，至少可令部分有意来港扩充的跨国机构可来港洽商。租售价上，该代理指目前商厦空置率高，故新措施下租金料未能反弹，但可紓缓高空置情况。该代理相信，若未来1至2个月再放宽至「0+0」，商务活动则将进一步推动。

至于商铺市场上，该代理指新措施下仍有3天医学监察，访港的观光旅客料不多，饮食及零售商机没有明显增加，因此商铺租金及售价料未受新措施带动而上升。

对于放宽至「0+3」入境措施，有旅行社负责人指出，新措施下尚有3天居家医学监察，相信来港观光旅客数字变化不多，主要便利商务旅客，故相信要完全放宽至「0+0」，海外访港人数才会增加。另外，访港客中，过往海外游客佔约四分之一，故在未与内地通关前，旅游业尚未能完全恢復兴旺，但认为现时释出放宽信息，仍是正面消息，希望下一步放宽至「0+0」。

至于酒店需求上，该旅行社负责人指，由于新措施后已没有检疫酒店，故将有2万多酒店房间腾出，全港合共约8万酒店房间提供，在短期尚未有大批旅客下，入住率料转差，酒店房价将回落。

财团逾4亿 统一嘉林边道旧楼业权

九龙城嘉林边道28A及28B号物业，最终由财团在无竞争对手下，以底价逾4.04亿元投得，成功统一业权。

该物业现为1幢3层高的住宅 (位于车库层之上)。根据马头角分区计划大纲核准图，该地皮现划为「住宅 (乙类)」用途的用地，佔地约10,070平方呎。若以最高地积比率约5倍发展，总楼面面积约50,350平方呎。据早前的强拍文件显示，上述强拍申请人为金枫集团有限公司 (GOLD FOCUS HOLDINGS LIMITED)。

大鸿辉就深水埗旧楼 申强拍

另外，深水埗福华街54至60号旧楼最新向土地审裁处申请强拍，计入僭建物后，项目的现况市值约1.92亿元，惟撇除僭建物部分，项目的现况市值则约1.83亿元。据了解，是次强拍申请人为大鸿辉。

根据文件显示，该财团现持有福华街54及56号约91.67%业权，并持有福华街58及60号约92.5%业权。而前者于1977年落成，现为1幢6层高的商住物业，后者则于1972年落成，同样是1幢6层高商住物业，两者佔地约4,620平方呎。此为土地审裁处今年接获的第21份强拍申请。有代理估计，今年全年土地审裁处将接获约27、28宗强拍申请。

市区优质地皮新供应罕有，市建局随即加快推出重建项目，其中西营盘皇后大道西/贤居里发展项目，将于今日截收意向书，料可吸引各大中小发展商入意向书。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12300至13200元。

业界人士指，近年市区土地供应短缺，尤其港岛地皮更为罕有，该地邻近商业区，由于地盘面积适中，料日后以发展中小型单位为主。有测量师指，项目地理位置优越，区内发展成熟，可步行至上环商业区，具吸引力。

每呎估值12300至13200元

该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。地盘面积约1.68万方呎，可建总楼面约12.15万方呎。

项目旨在整理项目范围内的土地用途和布局，重新规划公眾休憩用地，以加强地方的连接性和可达性，并改善地区环境。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。

总楼面约12.15万呎

而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的要求，兴建新发展项目，以提供一个可持续发展的生活环境。

油麻地德昌里旧楼1.45亿易手 涉约83.96%业权 华厦置业沽货

老牌地产商华厦置业旗下收购逾10年的油麻地德昌里旧楼，其持有约83.96%业权，刚以约1.45亿易手，每呎楼面地价约6200元，旧楼佔地约3688方呎，具重建价值，买家为本地发展商。

市场消息透露，油麻地德昌里16、16A、18、20、22及22A号旧楼，过去10多年来，华厦置业一直以「储楼」形式收购单位，见平就购入收租，最后一个单位于去年购入，至今持有旧楼约83.96%业权，早于两个月透过大型代理行标售该批旧楼，意向价1.8亿，最新刚以逾1.45亿易手。

10多年「储楼」式收购

据了解，该批物业部分以卖物业形式沽货，涉及28个住宅单位，涉资8036.7万，地铺则以卖公司形式易手，涉资逾6000万，合共涉资逾1.4亿，该旧楼楼高8层，于1965年落成，佔地3688.43方呎，涉及实用面积约18557方呎，若以现楼计算，平均呎价约7813元，若以楼面地价计算，该83.96%业权每呎楼面地价约6243元。

根据油麻地分区计画大纲图编号S/K2/23，物业现址划为「住宅 (甲类)」用地，若发展纯住宅，地积比7.5倍，若以商住混合发展规划，地积比高达9倍。而该物业将按现状，部分交吉、部分连现约及许可证形式出售。市场消息预期，买家为本地发展商。

住宅涉资8036.7万

华厦置业早于2011年起收购德昌里16至22A号旧楼，业内人士指，每年皆吸纳数个单位，最近一宗要追溯至2021年4月份，该厦3楼1室以450万易手。

值得留意，华厦置业为本地老牌发展商，由钟培生祖父、已故「工厦大王」钟江海于1961年创立，成立逾60年，该集团于今年6月份因业务不足，及过去六年每年维持非常低的业务运作，被上市委员会认为公司未能维持足够的业务运作，亦未能拥有相当价值的资产以支持其营运，不适合继续上市，其上市地位被「DQ」。

近年来，钟家为人熟悉的是钟培生，2012年美国南加州大学毕业后，先后从事投行及电竞行业，2019年7月，于网上经营个人频道，数年间坐拥逾14万订阅者。去年2月开始，他与艺人林作掀骂战，并于9月18日两人在九展拳赛。结果，似乎噱头多于一切，骂战激烈，拳赛平淡，钟培生主动进攻，林作闪避其攻击，钟在没有K.O对手情况下胜出。

两季卖地仅收95亿 来季料推贵重地

赤柱啟德地可推 连港铁小蠔湾等涉5040伙

本年度上半年卖地收入仅95亿元，较去年同期减7成。发展局即将公布下季 (10至12月) 卖地计划，市场估计有机会推出卖地表上赤柱、啟德等贵重地皮，以增加卖地收益，连同其他地皮及港铁 (00066) 小蠔湾站1期，预计供应5,040伙。

连同今年度上半年度土地供应约5,350伙，今年首3个季私人住宅土地供应约1万伙，较全年度目标的1.29万伙达标逾8成。

上半年度收入 少去年7成

2022/23年度上半年 (4月至9月)，政府卖地推出的住宅地皮均以中小型地皮为主，连同一幅价值52.6亿元的葵涌物流地，由卖地带来的地价收入只有约95亿元，较去年同期高达359亿元，按年减少7成。

同时，今年至今暂时亦未见有大额补地价个案，导致补地价收入亦大减。按照早前财政司司长陈茂波所透露，今年度首5个月地价收入只得172亿元，只及政府全年预算1,200亿元的七分之一或14%。虽然短期内仍有重推的屯门限呎地及葵涌住宅地推出，惟两幅地皮市值合共仅65亿至103亿元，对于增加地价收入帮助有限。

赤柱环角道地 估值达206亿

现时卖地表上有多幅百亿地王可供推出，包括估值最高206亿元的赤柱环角道豪宅，以及两幅啟德第2A区住宅地；而商业用地方面，则有旺角洗衣街商业地王估值亦达逾150亿元，政府或会在下季推出其中部分地皮，以增加卖地收益。

据市场估计，赤柱、啟德、荃湾油柑头及大屿山长沙4幅住宅地，合共能提供3,340伙供应，较今季度的2,600伙，按季增加28%。当中有机会推出的啟德2A区2号及3号地盘，位置在啟德站跟宋皇台站之间，跟九龙城相隔一条太子道东，地皮可建楼面约86.3万平方呎，预计可提供约1,200伙，值约94.9亿至112.2亿元，每呎楼面地价约1.1万至1.3万元。

而「一铁一局」方面，除了市建局推出西营盘皇后大道西项目外，港铁早前刚与政府达成小蠔湾车厂的换地协议，亦有机会在下季推出小蠔湾车厂的第1期项目，涉及约1,500伙。

下季度卖地计划连同铁路项目，预计将提供约5,040伙，较今季的3,210伙，增加4成。而2022/23年度首3季 (4月至12月) 则合共有10,390伙推出，相当于全年度供应目标1.29万伙的80%。

有测量师称，现时各区地价较去年下跌至少2成，虽然政府需要平衡库房收入及避免平卖官地，但过往亦有在淡市卖贵重地皮经验，认为有机会为「追卖地收益」，而在未来两季出售贵价地皮。不过，该测量师提醒，现时发展商投地相当「拣择」，除了偏好铁路沿綫项目外，一些卖地条款较复杂、附政府设施的地皮兴趣均不大，将会增加卖地流标风险。

楼价跌+商地欠吸引 卖地收入减

近年地价收入佔政府库房收入比率上升，特别是多幅大型商业地均带来可见收益，但经济环境及楼市转差，发展商投地意慾降低，地价下跌，亦增加政府陷入财赤风险。

根资料显示，过去5个财政年度 (2017/18年度至2021/22年度) 地价收入介乎887亿至1,648亿元，平均每年带来1,300亿元的收入，相当于同期政府收入的五分之一，金额甚至高于薪俸税、印花税等重要税项。

早年商地刷卖地纪录 收益增

近年卖地收入大增，最主要有两大因素，一是整体地价上升，现时市区地价普遍达万元，一幅规模去到70万至100万平方呎的中大型市区住宅地皮，估值动輒逾百亿元。百亿地王频现，政府收入亦相应增加。

其次，近年陆续有大型商业地推出均刷新了卖地纪录，包括2019年422亿元的西九高铁站商业地王，以及去年508亿元的中环新海滨3号商业地王，单是恒地 (00012) 投得中环地王便佔了全年地价收入35%。

不过，上述两个情况在近一年逐渐扭转，一方面是私人住宅楼价下跌，由今年初至今已经下跌7%，发展商推盘节奏放慢，对补充新的土地储备意慾相对降低，再加上美国加息因素，将会增加地产项目的融资成本，发展商投地出价会更为保守。

一般而言，地价跌幅会较楼价大，今年亦有多幅住宅地地价较市场估值预期为低，正反映了地价下跌趋势。

至于大型商业地方面，商业核心区大型商业地固然买少见少，而疫情下甲级商厦、零售商铺空置率高企，亦影响了发展商投地意慾，增加了大型商业地流标风险。

上述两个情况均预示了，政府卖地收入有可能大不如前，当局或须多方面开拓财政收入，避免陷入财赤风险。

基金积极扫工厦 望抵销加息影响

香港正式加息，而基金仍积极扫工厦，相信因工厦呎价较便宜，兼回报相对高，可望抵销加息影响，工厦仍具投资价值。

近日投资市场整体平稳，基金仍积极入市，更主力投资工厦，今年密密吸纳分层工厦的嘉民亚洲再入市，买九龙湾大业街59号三湘九龙湾货运中心1楼全层，面积约6.97万平方呎，以约3.68亿元成交，呎价约5,279元。该层楼面由物流公司以每月112万元租用，回报率约3.7厘。翻查资料，该层楼面由大鸿辉持有，于2014年2.21亿元购入，持货8年转手，获利约1.47亿元，升值近7成。

外资基金 屡购分层工厦收租

买家为澳洲基金嘉民亚洲，购入作收租。该基金于过去一年多，数度增持三湘九龙湾货运中心楼面，先后购入2、6及7楼单位，连同是次入市，一年多已斥近13亿元购入该厦作收租。

事实上，以往嘉民亚洲主力投资全幢工厦，而疫情后该基金改变策略，分层工厦亦成收购对象，如早前以3.8亿元购入葵涌建康街15至23号泉基工业大厦多层，包括4至6、8至14楼等，作价约3.8亿元。据了解，该批楼面佔该厦72.53%业权。物业于1977年落成，楼高15层，佔地约25,000平方呎，而是次7成楼面的总建筑面积约16.8万平方呎，若以约3.8亿元成交价计，呎价仅约2,262元。

另外，外资基金亦购工厦进行改装，柴湾利眾街26号柴湾工业大厦4楼A及B室，以5,500万元易手。据悉，两单位面积约1.07万平方呎，成交呎价约5,140元。据悉，新买家为加拿大基金Brookfield，估计购入单位将改装成迷你仓，作收租之用。翻查资料，柴湾工业大厦4楼A及B室由兴胜创建持有，该集团于2019年斥7.35亿元购入柴湾一篮子工厦，现沽出部分楼面套现。

事实上，该基金今年开始杀入本港物业市场，以2.11亿元向兴胜创建 (00896) 购入沙田工业中心单位，面积约1.26万平方呎，改装成迷你仓之用，料是次购柴湾工厦，为旗下迷你仓业务扩充。

工厦价较平 兼有改造空间

分析指，最近本港正式加息，料日后仍有加息空间，工商铺投资市场难免受影响。外资基金过去两年积极投资本港物业，息口向上后，预计基金拣选项目入市会较为审慎。在工商铺物业中，工厦吸引力在价格较平，兼有改造空间，回报率普遍较高，可望抵销加息影响。此外，外资购物业，会考虑为物业增值。如近两年多间基金购工厦，改装成迷你仓作长綫投资。工厦回报率高兼具改造空间，相信加息后仍是投资市场重点。

新蒲岗工厦逾8成业权 7.8亿放售

工厦具重建价值，现新蒲岗立安工业大厦逾8成业权，以7.8亿元放售。

有代理表示，有多名业主联合标售新蒲岗立安工业大厦逾8成的物业业权。

出售建筑面积约130490呎

立安工业大厦位于新蒲岗五芳街18号，现时为一幢13层高并建于1965年的工业大厦，地盘面积约14,950平方呎，整幢大厦的总建筑面积约155,161平方呎，是次出售部分 (包括地下部分) 的建筑面积约130,490平方呎，会按现状放售，意向价约7.8亿元。

该代理指，物业物业位于五芳街，紧接新蒲岗的主要街道大有街，步行数分鐘即可到达港铁钻石山站，该站作为观塘綫及屯马綫的转綫站，自屯马綫开通后，新蒲岗的人流大幅增加。

该代理亦指，新蒲岗不断有重建及活化工厦项目出现，如新世界的活化工厦项目Artisan Hub、新落成工厦Artisan Lab、东傲等。

中环云咸街33号 商业艺术集一身

中环云咸街33号位处区内饮食娱乐集中地兰桂坊，而业主亦为物业增添艺术气息，令大厦甚具特色。

云咸街33号商厦位于中环兰桂坊，交通上，若由港铁中环站步行至该厦，需时10分鐘内，皇后大道中及德辅道中一带亦有多条巴士綫、电车站等。饮食配套上，大厦本身位处中环最核心饮食地段兰桂坊，特色餐厅、酒吧多不胜数，物业基座提供餐厅外，附近亦有置地广场、国际金融中心商场。

云咸街33号前身为中环隆堡兰桂坊酒店，经营约11年后，业主培新集团于2017年时表示，因应中环商厦罕有，决定把物业14层楼面，改作为写字楼用途，于2018年完成工程。

大厦属兰桂坊一带中，较大型商厦之一，而大厦设有德己立街及云咸街两入口，故非常方便。德己立街入口设于兰桂坊酒吧地段，可坐升降机前往云咸街入口的电梯大堂。

近年本港艺术气氛提升，业主在大堂加设一个艺术与文化平台Wyndham Social，邀请本地艺术创作人土，展览其作品，使物业形象更为独特。租户亦可租用大堂位置举办活动，令租户可以有更多互动交流空间，产生的不同协同效应。

地下至9楼 属餐饮楼面

物业低层地下至9楼，属餐饮楼面，现时由西餐厅、酒吧等租用，配合兰桂坊一带特色。至于楼上12至30楼，则为写字楼用途。

分层楼面每层面积约5,120平方呎，同地段商厦来说楼面不算细。景观上，单位主要望向中半山楼景，甚为舒适。

租务上，大厦于2018年改装成写字楼后，当时正值共享工作空间 (Co-working Space) 兴起，物业写字楼部分，涉及约8.5万平方呎，获共享空间WeWork全数承租，呎租料约60元。不过，WeWork近年业务大幅收缩，放弃本港多个据点，包括上述分店。业主收回楼面后，今年重新招租。

据了解，其中5层楼面，早前获一家共享空间品牌租用，即将开业，而其餘楼面现正招租，意向租予不同行业包括共享空间、艺术行业等。

Chinachem urges stamp duty cuts

Chinachem Group chief executive Donald Choi Wun-hing said he hopes to see some of the stamp duties reduced in next month's policy address to support the property market amid rising interest rates.

The current dull market environment is different from the time when the duties were introduced, and some relaxation on them will be appropriate, Choi said yesterday.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said last week that there was no need to adjust control measures such as stamp duties for non-residents and second homebuyers. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu will deliver his first policy address next month.

Home prices have dropped by nearly

5 percent in the first seven months of the year and are projected to decline by about 10 percent this year as rising mortgage costs and a bleak economic outlook have deepened pessimism among homeowners.

However, Choi said he does not expect the number of loss-making home sales to surge as most owners do not have mortgages and there is no urgent need to sell even if interest rates increase.

On the office market, Choi noted that although the vacancy rate is rising as many companies scaled down their business and international firms have left amid the pandemic, demand from mainland firms still exist and many of them may set up shop in Hong Kong once all the travel curbs are removed.

Choi stated that Chinachem's new project named In One in Ho Man Tin is still awaiting presale consent and may not be put on sale until the market sentiment improves.

In other property news, Henderson Land Development (0012) said phase two of One Innovale in Fan Ling received 2,970 checks for the 243 units it put on the market, which means they were 11 times oversubscribed.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) will start to sell 80 units in phase three of Wetland Seasons Bay in Tin Shui Wai this Friday.

Of these, 50 units will be put up for sale via price lists, which include one- to three-bedroom units, ranging from 353 to 667 square feet .

The average price after discounts was HK$14,603, with the cheapest one priced at HK$5.06 million.

The one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate, to which the mortgage rate is linked, rose for 12 consecutive days to 2.6106 percent yesterday.

疫市下甲厦仍录承租，中环中心连环租出2个丢空数年的单位，面积分别为1700多呎及2500多呎，平均呎租40元，业主以长免租期吸客。

单位丢空逾4年

市场消息透露，中环中心低层02室，建筑面积1735方呎，于近期以每月6.94万租出，平均呎租40元；由同一名业主持有的同层10室，建筑面积2583方呎，亦以每呎40元租出，据悉，该2个单位自从2017年底易手后，一直丢空至今逾4年，今番业主以长免租期吸客，计及免租期，单位平均呎租约36元水平，属该厦近年新低。

上月初，该厦22楼11室，建筑面积约3184方呎，以每呎约37元租出，创该甲厦12年以来新低水平，低市价约10%，月租约117808元。同月，22楼8室，建筑面积约2601方呎，以每呎约38元租出，月租约98838元，该8号单位业主，于2019年5月向蔡志忠购入，因当时正值市场高峰期，购入价高达约9967.7万，每呎造价38322元，若以最新租金计，租金回报仅约1.19厘。

近月连环低价承租

业内人士指，甲厦正处供应高峰期，租金受压，不过，随着入境隔离措施宽鬆，带动经济气氛，加上中环中心租金低于同区甲厦，当空置率减少，料租金回升。

工商铺暂录874宗买卖 代理行：按季跌29%

第三季工商铺买卖逊预期，一间本地代理行资料显示，今年第三季截至9月22日，工商铺买卖暂录约874宗，按季减29%，为自2020年第二季后新低；金额约215.73亿，按季跌约24%。该行料第四季量升价稳。

该行代理表示，截至9月22日，今年第三季暂录约249宗商铺买卖，总金额约67.60亿，按季减约18%及27%，对比去年同期跌约45%及47%。季内仅8月录约117宗成交。

料第四季量升价稳

该代理指出，第三季暂录约1075宗租务，总金额约1.08亿，按季数字相若，按年减约20%及26%。7月录约425宗，为2021年9月份后最高纪录。如中环区8月商铺空置率为13.32%，铜锣湾区最新空置率录约5.5%。

高银金融国际中心全幢成交瞩目

该行另一代理表示，写字楼买卖暂录约110宗，按季减约44%，按年减约60%；金额约88.55亿，按季攀升约1.6倍，对比2021年同期微跌约2%，皆因九龙湾高银金融国际中心全幢约70亿成交瞩目。

该行另一代理表示，今年第三季暂录约515宗工厦成交，按季跌约29%，按年急跌约49%，涉金额约59.56亿，按季回落约62%。季内仅录约24宗逾亿工商铺成交，总金额约155.43亿，宗数是2020年第三季后的新低，金额按季减逾30%。

东角道地铺呎租311元跌75% 铜锣湾一綫街租金重返13年前

近期，时装店活跃于铺市，连环进驻核心区铺位，继铜锣湾啟超道一个巨铺租出，区内另一个黄金地段，东角道一个铺位亦由时装店承租，平均呎租311元，较旧租金跌75%，重返13年前水平。

上址为记利佐治街1号金百利商场地下G4号地铺，铺面向东角道，建筑面积约900方呎，以28万租出，租客时装店，租金重返13年前，对上长租约为鐘表店，月租112.3万，于2019年迁出，及后由手机用品及配件店短租，随后丢空一段时间，直至近期品牌时装店承租，旋即开业做生意。

面积900方呎 月租28万

市场消息指，近年时势欠佳时，该铺位一直由手机配件店「生作」短租，业主未透露租金，市场消息估计，该店能承受月租介乎15万至18万，最新长租录升幅，不过比较对上长约，天梭表于2016年3月至2019年2月间，月租112.3万，最新租金跌75%。有代理形容，东角道及记利佐治街，比较骆克道「崇光旺段」更优胜，人流更集中，该段属传统旺段。半世纪前是日本百货公司大丸所在地，儘管及后日式百货色微，大丸于1998年结业，亦无损该地段优越性，多年来，力吸游客及本地客在此消费。

代理：旺足半世纪

翻查资料，大丸于1961年11月3日开幕，翌日录10万人入店，人山人海，旺场横跨数十年，不过，昔日大丸现址已变身FALK WALK商场。

区内啟超道一个复式铺，早前亦由时装店承租，啟超道10号地下及1楼，建筑面积2500方呎，历年旧租客都是奢侈品，高峰期月租高达210万，对上旧租客为周大福，月租120万，自从去年5月迁出后，铺位交吉逾一年，近期以每月约38万租出，平均呎租152元，较对上长租户租金减68%，较高峰期大跌逾81%。

铺市高峰期，啟超道10号复式铺由六福鐘錶珠宝以176.8万租用，直至2014年，再获手表店Glashutte Watch抢租，月租210万，租约由2014年12月至2017年11月，即使高峰期已过，仍受周大福垂青，在2017年底以每月120万租用，直至2020年11月完约后改短租，一年前迁出。

金鐘2甲厦明年落成 添逾百万呎楼面

金鐘属于中环核心商业区的延伸部分，明年将有2大商业项目落成，合共提供逾百万平方呎楼面供应，分别是恒地 (00012) 的 The Henderson 及长实 (01113) 的长江集团中心二期，均属于区内罕有甲级商厦供应。

该2个大型甲级商厦均是近年展开重建，当中 The Henderson 前身为美利道停车场，由恒地于2017年以每平方呎楼面地价约5万元夺得；而长江集团中心二期前身则为和记大厦。当中长江集团中心二期楼高41层，总建筑面积达55万平方呎，可望270度维港海景，届时所有办公楼层均可望向维港，将于明年落成。

长江集团中心二期 享270度维港景

至于 The Henderson 位于中环美利道2号，楼高36层，由扎哈‧哈迪德建筑事务所 (Zaha Hadid Architects) 设计成地标商厦，每层面积约1.2万至1.5万平方呎，包括地面和5层地库，总楼面面积46.5万平方呎，已经陆续展开预租，包括佳士得租用4层，涉约5万平方呎楼面。另外，国际投资公司凯雷集团 (Carlyle) 则租用约2万平方呎楼面，据市场估计，呎租料约130元，超越目前的甲厦市价水平。

The Henderson 已展开预租

至于中长綫区内仍有2幅大型商业地有望推出，较为瞩目为金鐘廊重建发展计划，近年已经完成规划，日后将会推出市场招标出售。项目分为2部分发展，其中东面邻近统一中心的地盘佔地约6.7万平方呎，计划重建48层高商厦，当中38层为写字楼，涉约86.2万平方呎；至于西面地盘 (即现有金鐘廊行人通道) 则会保留，提供约2.6万平方呎餐饮及零售楼面，两者合共提供逾100万平方呎的商业楼面。

而另一幅潜在的商业地供应，则为金鐘廊对面的高等法院，政府在2017年《施政报告》曾提及，有意将中环新海滨五号用地及五号用地南面用地兴建新高等法院大楼重置原有的金鐘高等法院，而高等法院现址届时则会腾出用作商业发展。据估计，该用地佔地约10万平方呎，若以地积比率15倍发展，将可提供多达150万平方呎商业楼面，位置接近港铁站，交通方便，属于罕有大型商业用地供应。

湾仔中国恒大中心 下月底截标

湾仔中国恒大中心位置邻近金鐘核心区，近期被接管，现接管人推出物业标售，下月底截标，市场估值约80亿至90亿元，较购入价低近4成。

位处湾仔告士打道38号中国恒大中心，原本由华置 (00127) 所持有，于2015年由内房恒大 (03333) 以约125亿元购入，作为恒大在香港的总部。但随着恒大陷入财困，中国恒大中心亦多次推出市场放售，去年8月曾传出获越秀地产以约100亿元洽购，惟最终未有成事，直至今年年中，恒大委託测量师行标售其总部大厦中国恒大中心，但仍然未能售出。

而至本月初，物业更遭债权人申请委任接管人接管。近日有测量师行再获接管人委託公开招标出售，截标日期为2022年10月31日 (星期一)。
