大鴻輝統一西環舊樓業權協成行斥八億購義德樓

市區土地供應緊張，近年不少財團透過強拍增加土地儲備，昨日連錄兩宗強拍，其中，大鴻輝昨以底價7億，統一西環德輔道西安慶樓舊樓業權。另外，協成行亦8.04億統一筲箕灣東大街義德樓業權。

大鴻輝昨亦以底價7億，統一西環德輔道西326至332號及西安里11A至11D號安慶樓業權。該項目強拍時大鴻輝已集齊約91.41%業權，最終在沒有對手競爭下，以底價7億統一權業發展。而項目地盤面積約6172方呎，「住宅(甲類)6」用途。

梁紹鴻：重建作商住樓

大鴻輝主席梁紹鴻回應指，項目即將着手拆樓及入則，計畫興建一幢28層高的商住樓，主打面積約400方呎的細單位，估計數目100多個，總投資額約9億。

代理表示，即使受疫情影響，惟財團收樓步伐未有放緩，認為早前法庭及土地審裁處因疫情關係而停擺，積壓不少個案。透露，未來集團仍有3宗強拍申請。

另外，協成行昨在無對手下，以底價8.04億，統一筲箕灣東大街義德樓業權。該項目強拍時，發展商已增持至96%業權，該項目地盤面積約7680方呎，屬「住宅(甲類)」用途，最高地積比率為9倍，可建樓面涉及6.9萬方呎。

方添輝：疫情下未放緩收購

協成行總經理方添輝表示，即使在疫情下，集團並未放緩收購步伐，並會按不同地區項目出價，同時在目前市況下亦會調整價錢。對於樓市發展，認為本港住屋剛性需求強，料樓市平穩發展，並不會重演2003年沙士時期樓價大跌情況。

另一代理表示，疫情之下發展商並未減緩收樓步伐，因許多項目一早已經開始進行，惟發展商會於收購時考慮疫情、中美貿易戰等因素，衡量風險才出價，料傾向保守。樓市方面，現時疫情緩和，買家重新出來物色樓盤，加上土地、屋房供不應求，縱然近期出現波動，但樓價出現斷崖式下跌的機率不高。

鴨脷洲地明截標 料吸中小財團

測量師：有望挑戰港島標書新高

港島中型地皮供應不多，鴨脷洲海旁道地皮周五(22日)截標，市值最高14億元，由於規模適中，有測量師認為吸引中資及中小型財團入標，有望挑戰港島標書新高。

項目估值最高14億

去年底截標的東半山大坑道地皮收25份標書、創港島官地紀錄，是次鴨脷洲海旁道地皮，測量師表示，預計地皮涉資額約15億至20億元，相信中小型財團有能力亦願意競投。

該測量師預計，投標反應好理想，加上同類地皮在賣地表供應少，大多數都是近百億計的市區地，「渴地」的中小型發展商會踴躍出價。惟現時環球經濟不明朗，地皮質素縱然不錯，發展商出價會計算安全系數，不會太進取，會反映相關風險。

該測量師指，地皮位置適合發展豪宅，一梯兩伙，可興建面積約1,500至2,000平方呎的3、4房大單位，開則相信主要面向深灣一帶景觀，地盤周邊有樓盤遮擋，考發展商心思布局。

區內民生配套較少，相信要依靠附近樓盤或利東邨商場，前方亦有不少造船廠和維修廠，預計會有噪音問題。由於地皮呈窄長條形，靠山一邊未來開則難度較高，預計最好集中地皮的前方發展景觀較開揚。

賣地章程顯示，地皮最低3層可作商場發展，該測量師指，用地未設樓面上限，住宅樓面最高近9萬平方呎，未用盡地積比，可透過運算調整，要視乎發展商對區內商業未來的需求變化去設計。如以商業部分以2倍地積比計算，可建總樓面達9.9萬平方呎，總值約16億元。

華懋何文田站2期 批建4幢涉千伙

首季私樓685戶動工 10年同期新低

華懋港鐵何文田站2期項目，獲批建4幢分層住宅，預計將提供約900至1,000伙，屬未來區內大型新盤供應。另疫情令首季私樓動工量偏低，3月份私樓動工量涉685伙，創10年首季新低。

華懋於2018年10月投得港鐵何文田站2期項目，3月份獲屋宇署批出建築圖則，批建4幢26層高分層住宅，另設4層低層地下及1層地庫，住宅樓面約639,381平方呎。

據賣地條款顯示，何文田站2期將提供約900至1,000伙單位，以可建樓面計，平均每伙約640平方呎，發展商曾透露將主打2至3房單位，最快明年推售樓花。

何文田屬傳統豪宅地段，何文田站上蓋項目將為區內新供應主力，相信項目將繼天鑄、皓畋之後，成為該區矚目全新項目。

英皇駿景酒店舊址 批建住宅

此外，英皇國際 (00163)旗下跑馬地宏德街1號前英皇駿景酒店，可重建成1幢25層高分層住宅另加兩層地庫，可建住宅樓面約57,845平方呎。

而西半山寶珊道8號，亦獲批重建成1幢20層高住宅，涉10.5萬平方呎樓面，據悉由新地 (00016) 郭氏家族及恒生銀行(00011)創辦人之一何添家族共同持有。

商業項目方面，永泰 (00369)、資本策略 (00497)及市建局合作的中環結志街、嘉咸街、威靈頓街、吉士笠街的商業地盤，獲批建1幢32層高商廈，以及1幢27層高酒店，涉及商業樓面約427,113平方呎。

另一方面，疫情使今年首季私宅動工量處低水平。根據屋宇署數字顯示，3月份有4個私人住宅項目動工(按屋宇署接獲上蓋建築工程動工通知為準)，涉及685伙，終止連續兩個月均為零動工淡況。由於首季僅3月份有私樓動工，較去年同期2,020伙減少66%，創10年首季新低。按單一季度計算，為過去40個季度新低。

3月1413伙落成 按月減25%

落成量方面，3月份有6個私人住宅項目落成，涉1,413伙，較2月份1,892伙減少25%，但數量仍有千伙之上。而今年首季共有3,726伙私宅落成，佔全年預測目標僅約18%，惟較去年同期大增約2.8倍。

Four-year Kowloon low for Vanke's new launch

Vanke Property (Hong Kong) has launched the first batch of units at The Campton in Cheung Sha Wan, offering 94 flats at an average price of HK$16,411 per square foot after discounts, the lowest in Kowloon in nearly four years.

The batch has offered 11 studio flats, 27 one-bedroom flats and 56 two-bedroom flats, ranging from 287 sq ft to 539 sq ft.

Wing Tai Properties (0369) will launch the sales of 108 units at OMA by the Sea in Tuen Mun on Sunday through a price list and will sell another 53 flats by tender from Monday.

The developer has sold 217 units for the project, worth a total of HK$1.13 billion.

Henderson Land Development (0012) will open the sales of Aquila Square Mile in Mong Kok on Sunday as well, offering at least 88 units, mainly one-bedroom.

After discounts, 17 of its units are below HK$5 million.

Meanwhile, Emperor International (0163) has named its serviced apartment project providing 99 units in the Mid-Levels as Central 8 and opened a show flat.

Elsewhere, Hip Shing Hong won the bid of an old building at Shau Kei Wan Main Street East at the reserve price of HK$804 million with no competitor.

In another bid, the redevelopment of an old building on Des Voeux Road West in Sai Ying Pun was awarded to Tai Hung Fai Enterprise at the reserve price of HK$700 million.

The Buildings Department approved 18 building plans in March, with five on Hong Kong Island, eight in Kowloon and five in the New Territories.

In the secondary market, a one-room unit at Corinthia by the Sea changed hands for HK$8.9 million, the second most expensive ever in Tseung Kwan O.

In Yuen Long, a 423-sq-ft flat at The Reach was sold to a first-time buyer for HK$5.8 million, or HK$13,712 per sq ft, after HK$200,000 was cut from the initial asking price.

16 MTRC projects to offer 22,000 homes

MTR Corporation (0066) chairman Rex Auyeung Pak-kuen said the company will launch 16 property projects in the next six years, offering around 22,000 units, while also revealing the company was facing heavy financial pressures amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

MTRC is still in discussions with the government about the proposed comprehensive residential and commercial development atop Siu Ho Wan Depot in Lantau Island, he said at the annual general meeting. The project is expected to provide around 14,000 private and public home units in the medium to long term.

The company has obtained the Consent Scheme for Phase 8 of Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O and plans to apply to the scheme for Phase 10 of Lohas Park and the project atop the Tai Wai Station, which are expected to offer a batch of small- and middle-sized units, said property director David Tang Chi-fai.

Auyeung said risks brought about by the global economic slowdown, rising unemployment rates and decreases in tourism have heavily impacted the company's financial condition and also predicted these negative impacts could last longer.

MTRC's passenger revenue and advertising revenue both slid amid the pandemic, while the company also needed to provide rent relief for commercial tenants at MTR stations, he said, adding that a weak economy may also impact the valuation of its investment properties.

When asked whether MTRC's dividend distribution would be impacted by the outbreak and social unrest, Auyeung said the board would maintain its current dividend policy, which depends on the company's business performance, capital expenditures, and financial conditions. The company declared a final dividend of 98 HK cents last year, totaling HK$1.23 per share for 2019.

Auyeung mentioned that the company has expended railway projects in China, Europe and Australia, and stressed that the financial situation was still stable.

Meanwhile, MTRC appointed Bunny Chan Chung-bun as an independent non-executive director (INED) of the board.

Chan has over 30 years of experience in the garment industry and is the founder and chairman of Prospectful Holdings. He is also an INED of Li Ning (2331), Great Harvest Maeta (3683), Speedy Global (0540) and Glorious Sun Enterprises (0393). Chan is currently a member of the Hong Kong delegation to the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China and the Council for Sustainable Development.
