疫市下大額物業受捧，市場即將有一宗矚目的全幢甲廈放盤，位處九龍灣啟祥道高銀金融國際中心，接管人已委託大型代理行，即將推出標售，全幢物業市值約100億，料吸引投資財團及實力用家角逐。

九龍地標甲廈高銀金融國際中心，早前雖曾獲準買家承接，惟未有如期成交。市場消息透露，該全幢甲廈即將推出標售，樓高28層，總樓面約85.2萬方呎，樓齡約6年，疫情雖持續多時，惟市場上資金尋找出路，料該項目吸引投資財團角逐。

由於項目屬全幢業權，擁有命名權，料有機會吸引實力用家垂青，過去多年來，東九龍屢錄全幢商廈成交，買家包括國內地產商，亦有外資金融機構承接。

高銀金融國際中心位於啟祥道17號，樓高28層，佔地約7.1萬方呎，總樓面約85.2萬方呎，屬地標甲廈項目，價值不菲。根據代理行資料，近月區內指標甲廈成交，包括新落成富臨中心呎價介乎1.4萬至逾1.5萬水平。

料吸投資者及用家

其中，富臨中心B座19樓C至D室，建築面積約3113方呎，以每呎15197元售出，涉資4731萬；而有一定樓齡的億京中心，其中B座28樓A室，建築面積約3939方呎，以每呎11678元成交。

多年來，區內亦屢錄大手成交，其中，億京為首財團，於去年6月向合和實業購入九龍灣國際展貿中心，涉資約105億，並將投資逾180億建地標甲廈；區內地王紀錄，包括南豐於2017年5月底，以逾246億擊敗11間中港財團奪啟德商業地，樓面呎價12,863元。

該幅啟德1F區2號地，鄰近未來沙中綫啟德站，可建樓面達191萬方呎，預計地皮日後約三分一樓面的高層單位可望維港景。

同區甲廈呎價1.5萬

高銀金融國際中心由高銀金融於2011年，以約34億投得啟祥道商業地，並於2016年落成大廈，作為自用及出租。

惟項目於2020年9月，遭接管人宣布放售，意向價120億，及後，項目錄買家FONG Tim擬以143億購入項目，不過，最終未成事。因此，今番再度推出標售。市場人士指，該廈超豪華，擁有中環「FEEL」，大部分以全層形式出租。

觀塘新式商廈多，位於成業街的寧晉中心最大賣點是鄰近港鐵站，非常方便，細單位亦多，正合半零售行業。

東九龍觀塘新商廈林立，而個別較偏離主要街道，略為不便。成業街7號寧晉中心最大優勢，是位處觀塘最繁忙的開源道及成業街，由港鐵站步行至該廈僅5分鐘，極為方便，而大廈附近的觀塘道巴士綫多，前往九龍各區及港島東甚快。

其他配套上，寧晉中心基座地下至2樓為商場，內設有多間食肆及商舖，加上位於觀塘廣場旁，更利吸納消費客源。另外，由該廈前往觀塘地標商場apm僅數分鐘，有更多餐廳、商店，一應俱全。

酒店成投資焦點 共居品牌作改裝

投資氣氛明顯轉好，近期市場連環錄得大額酒店成交，成投資焦點，當中以共居品牌成主要買家，購入進行改裝。

第二季大額買賣氣氛轉理想，除了工廈外，酒店為另一項投資焦點，更連環錄大手成交。華大酒店 (00201)、順豪物業投資、順豪控股近日公布，以約14.2億元收購荃灣汀蘭居，該物業在2021年12月15日的估值為24.6億元。物業樓高16層，佔地面積約216,314平方呎，共有435間客房，以上述收購價計，即平均每間房價值約326萬元。該物業曾分別作酒店及服務式住宅用途，業主亦曾把部分空間改裝成共居空間。

物業原由鄧成波家族持有，波叔於2017年以16.8億元購入物業，兩年前曾放售，當時叫價高見約23億元，一直未獲承接，現降至14.2億元沽出，較兩年前降價近4成，如今5年蝕2.6億元離場。

同時間，華大酒店亦指，以9億元沽出西環皇后大道西338至346號華麗都會酒店全幢物業。酒店樓高32層，於2015年落成，地盤面積約4,928平方呎，地下為大堂，1樓為停車場，7至32樓為酒店房間，提供214間房，總樓面約6萬平方呎。據了解，酒店暫作隔離檢疫用途，現時每晚房價約600元。以9億元成交價計，平均呎價約1.5萬元。

財團看好本地租務市場

據了解，新買家為共居品牌WEAVE LIVING，該集團指，將與另一基金安祖高頓 (Angelo Gordon) 合作投資華麗都會酒店項目。事實上，WEAVE LIVING近期表現非常積極，4月才以13.75億元購入九龍珀麗酒店，物業位於大角咀道86號，於2011年落成及開業，地盤面積約9,090平方呎，總樓面約11萬平方呎。項目樓高27層，提供435間房，以13.75億元成交價計，每間房價值約316萬元。WEAVE LIVING表示，將進行全面翻新，包括為部分房間重新布局，將物業打造成時尚、配套完備、靈活租期的現代住宿空間。

今年最大手酒店買賣，則為AEW基金以16.51億元購入紅磡「逸．酒店」(Hotel Sav)，物業總樓面合共約12.21萬平方呎，設有388間客房。據了解，買家將改裝，日後或主打學生宿舍之用。

分析指，投資氣氛稍轉好，惟整體商業氣氛仍一般，需時回復。在多項物業中，以住宅市場表現最穩定，包括住宅租務需求仍強勁，財團看好本地住宅租務市場，購入酒店後改裝成共居空間、宿舍，主要客群為本地租客，比起傳統酒店靠遊客入住，收入相對穩定，預計相關市場尚有發展空間，令酒店買賣上升。

New World’s affordable housing project aimed at getting first-time buyers in Hong Kong on property ladder

A proposal has been submitted to the Town Planning Board to build about 300 flats, with sizes ranging from 300 sq ft to 400 sq ft in Lam Hi Road, Yuen Long

The project, which is still awaiting government approval, will be sold at cost to buyers who fulfil the eligibility criteria

New World Development plans to build Hong Kong’s first subsidised housing project that will be sold at cost to help young first-time buyers get on the property ladder in the world’s most expensive city to own a home.

New World Build for Good, the developer’s social enterprise unit, earlier this month submitted a proposal to the Town Planning Board to build about 300 flats, with sizes ranging from 300 square feet to 400 square feet, on a 30,300 sq ft site in Lam Hi Road, Yuen Long, according to an announcement on Monday.

It expects construction to start next year if everything goes according to plan, with the project likely to be completed as early as 2027.

“My vision is to start a new era in Hong Kong, by improving people’s housing issues and enabling the next generation to achieve the milestone of home ownership,” said Adrian Cheng, CEO of NWD and chairman of New World Build for Good. “We hope to refresh Hong Kong’s housing model and provide truly affordable homes for those in need.”

The site is about 10 minutes by bus from Yuen Long MTR station.

A NWD spokeswoman said the units will be sold at cost. “We will not make any profit from this project,” she said, without disclosing further details.

In December 2021, the developer said it was planning a project aimed at those living in subdivided flats and second-generation public housing renters.

The eligibility criteria for buyers of the flats in the project includes meeting the maximum income and total assets requirements of Hong Kong’s Home Ownership Scheme (HOS), which are set at HK$33,000 (US$4,230) and HK$925,000, respectively, for individuals, and HK$66,000 and HK$1.85 million for a household of two or more members.

A 300 sq ft flat will cost as low as HK$2.7 million, or HK$9,000 per sq ft, which is based on the discounted land premium under the current HOS scheme plus construction cost.

Buyers will only be required to pay a down payment of HK$135,000, 5 per cent of the unit’s price.

The developer also proposed an innovative home loan scheme to alleviate the financial burden of the targeted buyers. Purchasers only require to pay 50 per cent of the flat’s cost when the flat is due for delivery, while the remaining 50 per cent can be paid 10 years after the occupation in one go or in instalments.

The proposed home financing scheme has received positive response from banks and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, according to the statement issued by New World Build for Good.

“Young families are increasingly finding it difficult to get on the property ladder, and the waiting time for public housing is getting longer,” said the statement.

The average waiting time for a public housing flat in Hong Kong has increased to 6.1 years, the longest since 1998, according to official figures released last Thursday.

Chief Executive-elect John Lee Ka-chiu has proposed an advance allocation scheme under which flats at selected public housing estates could be offered to families on the waiting list before infrastructure and transport facilities are completed. Lee said he hoped to make the projects available a year earlier than expected.

An NWD spokeswoman said the subsidised housing project would occupy half of the site, and the remaining area would continue to be used as an open space for the public and warehouse for storing art.

“NWD has no plan to build a private residential project on the other half of the plot,” she said.

Hong Kong developers’ rural land conversion in New Territories gathers pace, expect to push for lower land premium due to softening market

Sun Hung Kai Properties pays HK$268 million (US$34 million) to convert farmland in Yuen Long into a residential project

Developers with large holdings in the northern New Territories are likely to negotiate for a lower land premium, analysts say

Hong Kong developers are speeding up the conversion of farmland in the northern New Territories for residential use, with industry observers pointing out that companies are likely to push for lower land premiums due to the softening housing market.

Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s largest developer by market value, last week agreed to pay HK$268 million (US$34 million) to convert farmland in Yuen Long so that it can build a 71-villa project.

Seven land-premium transactions, including that of SHKP, totalling HK$3.3 billion have taken place in Yuen Long, Lands Department records show. The seven plots will provide a total gross floor area of 890,000 square feet.

Land premium is the fee that developers pay the government when a modification or change in land use results in a higher land value.

While there is no fixed fee charged for the land conversion premium, the government arrives at the value by taking into account recent transaction prices in both the housing market as well as the land sales market.

“Both housing and land markets actually indicate a declining trend in recent months because of the volatility in the stock market, increase in the unemployment rate and expectations of an interest-rate rise,” a property agent said.

“This puts developers in a relatively strong position to argue for a lower land premium level,” the agent said.

Hong Kong developers have recently turned conservative in bidding for government land following a decline in home prices, which have retreated 4 per cent from their peak last September. Last month, the government withdrew the sale of a 1.3 million sq ft site in Tai Lam in the northern New Territories, which would have yielded an estimated 2,020 homes, after all tender bids came in below the reserve price.

Surveyors had estimated the site, Hong Kong’s first plot earmarked for residential flats with a minimum area of 280 square feet, to fetch between HK$7.1 billion and HK$9 billion, or HK$5,500 to HK$6,900 per square foot in the tender.

“The strategy of many developers, particularly the bigger ones, is to retop their land banks by converting agricultural land into residential use in addition to the government land sales,” the agent said.

The government’s land sale programme for the current financial year ending March 2023 covers 13 residential sites, which will be able to provide 8,000 flats, according to Secretary for Development Michael Wong Wai-lun.

While the government’s projected supply of new flats is up from 6,000 in the last financial year, the supplies are under 10,000 for the fifth consecutive year.

With the northern New Territories the focus of future development in Hong Kong, “developers with large holdings in the area will become more active in negotiating land premiums”, a surveyor said.

Last October, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor proposed to develop the Northern Metropolis, which includes the northern New Territories, into a booming economic and residential hub for 2.5 million people over the next 20 years. The plans involves construction of up to 926,000 flats, including the existing 390 000 homes in Yuen Long and North districts, to accommodate the residents.

Currently, about 100 million sq ft of rural land is owned by various developers, according to a property agency.

“Now they see an opportunity to turn the land into residential development sites through the land premium settlement scheme,” agent said.
