尖沙咀1881地下G15號地舖，面積約1500方呎，近期由日本品牌STUDIOUS進駐，開設本港首家旗艦店，市場人士預期月租約35萬，平均每呎約233元。

該巨舖前身為英皇集團，早於2009年進駐1881，並承租地下多個巨舖，打造珠寶旗艦店，業內人士表示，由於目前租金較當年高峰期回落，吸引時裝品牌進駐，成為回歸香港的首個據點。本報向長實查詢有關租金及詳情，發言人表示未能作回應。

曾在銅鑼灣設旗艦店

STUDIOUS早於2017年於銅鑼灣Fashion Walk開設旗艦店，該品牌標榜「from JAPAN to the WORLD」，以不同方式、角度將日本傳統時裝品牌呈現給消費者，向世界傳達自己的個性和張揚。

今年以來，國際品牌時裝紛回歸香港，其中，美式服裝品牌Abercrombie & Fitch (下簡稱 A&F) 一口氣承租2個巨舖，位處沙田新城市廣場約萬方呎巨舖，及銅鑼灣希慎廣場一個約7000呎舖，市場注目。

來自杭州的一間時裝品牌店SETIROM (「西町村屋) 首度攻港，以每月逾80萬承租尖沙咀彌敦道26號地庫及地下連一樓 (涉及三層)，面積逾1.6萬方呎，建立旗艦店，業內人士表示，該店吼準核心遊客區，為走向國際市場邁向一大步。

外地品牌紛來港設據點

逾半世紀歷史的法國時裝品牌MARITHE FRANCOIS GIRBARD，近年在韓國走紅後，首度進軍香港，承租銅鑼灣白沙道16號地舖，建築面積約1512方呎，月租約32萬，平均呎租212元，較舊租客茶飲品牌提價約6.7%。

Chen Hongtian saga: Hong Kong university pays US$334 million for tower in distress sale

Hong Kong Metropolitan University makes its second purchase in six months in this year’s biggest commercial deal

One HarbourGate East Tower, a premium office building formerly owned by cash-strapped Chinese tycoon Chen Hongtian, has found a new owner after Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU) struck a deal with the receivers, according to people familiar with the matter.

The university agreed to pay HK$2.6 billion (US$334 million) for the 15-storey building in Hung Hom, Kowloon, the people said. It reflects a 42 per cent discount to the HK$4.5 billion Chen’s flagship entity Cheung Kei Group paid for the property in 2016.

The deal, the single-largest transaction in the city this year, suggests more investors are taking the plunge to scoop up distressed assets at deep discounts as the government takes steps to arrest a slump in the property market. Top mainland officials have also recently vowed to support Hong Kong as a financial hub, a tacit backing for a key pillar of the economy.

“HKMU has been actively exploring different ways to provide its students and staff with more and enhanced spaces for learning, teaching and research, including executive training programmes” to support its expansion, it said in a statement to the Post. It declined to elaborate on the transaction.

One HarbourGate East comprises an office tower and two levels of retail space totalling 279,000 sq ft, as well as 155 car-parking spaces. The asset was valued at HK$7 billion in 2022. It was put on the chopping block in July, after a failed attempt to sell in May 2023.

Chen lost control of the asset after what he described as “a short-term cash-flow disruption” to his business. Creditors also separately seized a 9,200 sq ft house on The Peak, which Chen bought for HK$2.1 billion in 2016.

The sale of One HarbourGate East topped recent high-value deals in Hong Kong’s commercial property market. Beijing-based sportswear company Li Ning acquired the Harbour East office tower in North Point for HK$2.2 billion in December last year, for its Hong Kong headquarters.

HKMU, the sixth-largest in the city in terms of undergraduates, has been an active buyer. The university paid HK$1 billion in July for Urbanwood Hung Hom, a 255-room hotel in Kowloon, to convert it into student accommodation, as Hong Kong aims to make the city a major education hub.

Hong Kong’s commercial property market is in the midst of its worst rout since the Asian financial crisis. Grade-A office values have dropped 40 per cent since their peak in 2018, while the number of employees at regional headquarters of multinational companies in the city has also declined by about one-third, according to a report published last month by S&P Global Ratings.
