新蒲崗ArtisanLab頻錄大手洽租 新世界林浩文:力吸新派工業
新世界資產及房地產組合管理總經理林浩文指出,集團旗下新蒲崗重建工廈Artisan Lab意向呎租約18元,目標租戶以新派工業、工作坊及文化創作等行業,現時獲大手租洽租4萬方呎樓面,佔地約5全層,並料兩項目於一年內可租出逾9成樓面,每年租金收入約4000萬。
林浩文指出,新蒲崗近年發展迅速,區內文青氣息日趨濃厚之外,商貿活動亦與日俱增,見證區內迅速「變天」,有見及此,集團旗下於區內六合街兩大項目Artisan Hub及Artisan Lab,分別為工廈活化及工廈重建項目,鄰近鑽石山站,因兩項目具協同效應,整體招租部署以Artisan Hub引入主題餐廳及24小時健身中心等商戶,以增加社區人流量,繼而帶動兩項目的出租率及租金水平。
他續指出,位處六合街21號Artisan Lab,屬工廈重建項目,近期落成已頻獲多家公司洽租,全層面積由5000多方呎至8000多方呎,傾向出租予優質全層商戶,若樓面較大的樓面,有機會分拆至兩至3個工作室放租,面積由1000多呎起,項目現階段正進行租戶整合、希望引入優質商戶為項目帶出品牌效應,主攻租戶類型包括新派工業、文青藝術設計及創作媒體等商戶。
平均呎租約18元
林浩文指出,Artisan Lab設逾3000方呎的共享空間,樓底高約兩米多至4米,屬市場罕有供應,項目意向呎租約18元,與區內呎租若,故對同區商戶甚具吸引力,承租進駐作「升級」用途;他亦指出,該項目新錄設計建公司承租約8000方呎樓面,同時亦獲一組大手租客洽租4萬方呎樓面,佔地約5全層,反映項目質素備受肯定,並料Artisan Hub及Artisan Lab兩項目於一年內可租出逾9成樓面,每年租金收入約4000萬。
料每年收租4000萬
Artisan Lab,項目樓高22層,總建築面積逾12萬方呎,分間單位建築面積約1391至3576方呎,全層樓面則達8323方呎,部分樓層設有特色平台,至於位處六合街9號的Artisan Hub,屬工廈活化項目,總樓面約6.5萬方呎。
另一方面,林浩文亦指出,長沙灣荔枝角道888號南商金融創新中心約40%買家購入作收租用途,新世界會協助部分業主收租,於7月份合共租出約6萬方呎樓面,呎租約23至28元。

Homes in New Territories sell like hot cakes
Hong Kong homebuyers continued to flock to new developments in the New Territories with One Innovale in Fanling receiving at least 1,200 checks after Novo Land in Tuen Mun sold out the first batch of 336 flats.
Henderson Land (0012) received at least 1,200 checks for the 123 flats released in the first price list for One Innovale - Archway - the first phase of One Innovale - making the batch 12 times oversubscribed. The list includes 16 studio, 96 one-bedroom, 8 two-bedroom and 3 three-bedroom units with an average price of HK$14,168 per square foot after discounts.
Thomas Lam Tat-man, general manager of sales department, Henderson Land, said most of the subscriptions were for the one-bed units. He said a second batch may be released as early as today, and there may be a modest increase in prices.
Sales are expected to start this coming weekend, he added.
One Innovale will offer a total of 603 flats when completed.
Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said all 336 flats in the first round of sales for phase 1A at Novo Land were sold over the weekend despite a looming increase in the capped rate for Hong Kong interbank offered rate-based mortgage plan.
SHKP general manager of sales and marketing Andy Chan said that 123 flats in the third list - including 64 studios, 13 one-bedroom, 22 two-bedroom and 24 three-bedroom units - were priced at HK$3.28 million to HK$9.33 million or HK$13,255 to HK$15,427 per sq ft after discounts.
The fourth price list of 168 flats has now been released at an average price of HK$14,385 per sq ft after discounts, a slight increase over the third list's average price of HK$14,052 per sq ft after discounts.
Meanwhile, seven secondary sales were recorded across the top 10 housing estates in the last weekend of July, down 46 percent from the previous weekend and back to the single-digit level, according to Midland Realty. There were a total of nine deals across the top 15 estates, down 35.7 percent week-on-week, it added.
An property agency said that second hand sales were affected by the release of new projects,with the impact of rate hikes and a cautious attitude among buyers.
(The Standard)日資財團近3億放售2物業
今年以來大手物業買賣暢旺,日資西松建設趁勢放售兩物業,市值近3億,其中,粉嶺一幅倉地市值1.75億,平均每呎2000元。
粉嶺貨倉地1.75億放售
有外資代理行代理表示,該露天貯物地盤位於粉嶺坪輋,可由坪輋路及五洲路直達,距離打鼓嶺鄉村中心政府大樓,大約5分鐘步行距離,屬該區罕有交通便利的露天貯物地盤。
該代理續說,該地盤面積約87481方呎,地契為農地,城規用途為露天貯物,業主自用多年,存放建築機械,及部分出租,租客用來存放建築材料,該倉地已平整,具地政處豁免書,可合法搭建有尺寸限制的建築物,以供存放建築機械及材料。
該代理分析道,該地皮目前只有不足2000方呎搭建上蓋,根據契約,可有一半面積搭建上蓋,建築費用每呎約300元,市值呎租9至10元,令回報大為提高,適合用家自用或投資收租,更因鄰近北部都會區發展策略中的坪輋 / 打鼓嶺新發展區,長遠極具升值潛力。
星光行 10單位市值1.16億
另一放售物業為尖沙嘴星光行 5樓多個單位,506至512室及524至526室,部分單位更坐擁全海景觀,全部10個單位將交吉放售,總建築面積約8339方呎,屬近年少有大面積相連單位放盤,市值1.16億,平均每呎13910元。
該代理表示,星光行屬九龍傳統寫字樓,年中不乏放盤及成交,屬尖西指標核心辦公樓,兩項物業市值共近3億。

財團申強拍金星工業大廈
土地供應短缺,財團加快併購舊樓步伐,土地審裁處最新「一口氣」接獲兩宗強拍申請,最矚目為財收購的葵涌金星工業大廈,向土地審裁處申請強拍,以統一業權發展,市場估值逾5.65億。事實上,連同上述兩個項目,今年來土地審裁處合共接獲16宗強拍申請,已追平去年全年的數字。
項目估值逾5.65億
文件顯示,目前該財團持有上址85.71%業權,餘下兩項物業及車位並未成功收購,涉及14.29%業權均由同一名業主持有,該批物業市場估值約1.0442億,市場對整個項目估值5.6571億。上址現為一幢7層高工廈,早於1972年落成,至今樓齡約50年,地盤面積約23570方呎。資料顯示,該工廈早前獲城規會批准重建為一幢樓高20層的數據中心,涉及總樓面約26.86萬方呎。
另外,樂風集團夥拍由博領資產管理及石壁投資併購的佐敦南京街19至21號舊樓,最新亦向該處申請強拍,目前該財團持有逾93.75%業權,現僅餘下地下一個物業並未成功收購,市場估值3018.1867萬,市場對整個項目估值1.08981467億。上址現為一幢8層高商住舊樓,地下為商鋪,樓上為住宅樓層,該舊樓早於1962年落成入伙,至今樓齡約60年。
該項目位於佐敦商業地段,毗鄰港鐵佐敦站約2分鐘步程,極具重建價值。
資料顯示,樂風集團等去年斥資7.5億,收購南京街11號至21號舊樓大部分業權,地盤面積擴展至約7250方呎,該地段現時劃入商業用途,若以最高地積比率12倍計算,涉及可建總樓面約8.7萬方呎。

新蒲崗兩工商項目 擁新式配套
新世界 (00017) 旗下新蒲崗兩工商項目近日入伙並進行招租,區內交通配套大為改善,加上物業具特色,有一定吸引力。
新世界近日推出兩項目招租,分別為Artisan Lab及Artisan Hub,同位於新蒲崗六合街。隨着去年港鐵屯馬綫通車,而鑽石山站出口步行至新蒲崗工商業區僅數分鐘,交通配套比以往完善。
Artisan Lab設靈活活動空間
其中Artisan Lab位於六合街21號,是區內罕有透過重建發展的全新工廈。項目樓高22層,總面積逾12萬平方呎,分間單位面積約1,391至3,576平方呎,全層樓面則達8,323平方呎,空間感十足,部分樓層更設有特色平台。
據了解,項目擁不少新式配套,是以往工廈項目極少出現,包括1樓逾830平方呎活動空間,間隔靈活,設開放模式及閉門模式,適合租戶舉辦活動或內部培訓工作坊。另外天台則設有約2,200平方呎綠化園林Artisan Oasis。
Artisan Lab正招租,已獲多間公司洽租,市場反應理想,其中人氣文青烘焙工房「享樂烘焙」因項目的地理優勢及新式建築設計,已承租5樓全層逾8,000平方呎樓面擴充業務。據了解,目前多層樓面亦洽租中,業主意向呎租約18元。
Artisan Hub保留建築歷史特色
另外,同地段9號Artisan Hub原為工廈,業主把物業活化成商廈。建築上保留了悠久的歷史特色,如外牆遮陽篷、水磨地板,同時加入創新設計及色彩,外形甚特別。
物業樓高11層,1至5樓為商用樓層,6至11樓屬寫字樓用途,全層面積由5,564至6,889平方呎。項目地下至5樓屬零售樓層,個別樓層適合飲食用途,中至高層適合瑜伽、健身室、辦公室及共享工作室等行業。用戶上,現時寫字樓租客包括創意產業ACOO、活動策劃公司Milton Exhibits及時裝Eleven Group Limited。租務方面,近日1樓獲健身室承租,2樓則獲空手道精英運動員李振豪成立的「Be Smove Karate Fitness」租用。據悉,項目意向呎租約16至18元。
新世界表示,兩項目處同地段,但定位不同,Artisan Lab屬全新工廈,適合文創、工作坊等使用;而Artisan Hub因屬商廈,故可作傳統寫字樓使用。兩項目若全數租出,每年租金收入可達4,000萬元。

荃灣新甲廈IEC3 特設多個特色戶
荃灣商業氣氛提升,而國際企業中心3期 (IEC3) 屬全新項目,物業景觀開揚,兼提供多個特色單位,質素於同區甚突出。
國際企業中心3期位於荃灣大涌道,該地段為傳統工業區,而近年漸出現新式商廈及工廈重建項目。物業對面為南豐紗廠,近年甚受年輕人歡迎,亦為地段注入活力。
位置上,由荃灣港鐵站出口,穿過愉景新城商場前往該廈,需時10分鐘以上,略為偏離港鐵站,而大廈其他配套算充足,大涌道及青山公路有多條巴士綫可前往港九新界,而大廈設有停車場,提供113個車位,故整體交通網絡尚算不俗。
飲食及生活配套上,由於附近主要為舊式工廈,餐廳選擇不算多,上班人士可前往愉景新城,商場內餐飲較多,或可選步行10分鐘至荃灣中心一帶。
159個寫字樓單位
大廈位處單邊,外形上不俗,而項目地下4間商舖,已全面營業,提供完善餐飲及零售服務,而地下電梯大堂旁設有咖啡室。物業樓高20層,2樓至22樓為寫字樓,共設159個寫字樓單位。
每層樓面大致上分為9個單位,1至3號單位面向大涌道,而4至7號室面向白田壩街。景觀上,以3號單位最理想,因面前高樓不多,可望非常開揚荃灣景觀,遠眺如心廣場,非常開揚舒適。
大廈另一賣點,是提供多組特色單位,物業2樓7、8及9號單位,提供特大花園平台,面積由683至2,183平方呎,另12樓3至5號單位,亦設有平台,面積由89至119平方呎,而20、21樓亦設平台單位,至於22樓3單位,則內置樓梯連同天台,項目提供10多組特色單位,適合用家及投資者。
資料顯示,第一集團於2018年初,以6億元購入荃灣大涌道18至20號地盤,地盤面積約1.8萬平方呎,可建樓面約17.27萬平方呎,每平方呎樓面地價3,474元,每層面積約1.2萬平方呎。其後集團透過補地價,為項目轉成甲廈用途,涉及金額逾9.2億元,以可建樓面約17.27萬平方呎計,每平方呎樓面補地價5,334元,當時創全港工廈轉寫字樓每呎補地價新高。
(經濟日報)
多個單位推售 1200萬入場
荃灣新甲廈質素不錯,現第一集團推售國際企業中心3期多個單位,入場費約1,200萬元起。
據第一集團表示,國際企業中心3期現進行發售,單位呎價約1.04萬元起,入場費約1,200萬元起。項目全數屬分間單位,適合中小型企業使用。
近日錄成交 呎價約1.07萬
買賣方面,近日該廈錄成交,涉及單位為3樓07至09室,建築面積約由1,065至1,791平方呎,平均呎價約1.06萬至1.07萬元,3個單位共約4,247平方呎,總成交金額約4,520萬元。據了解,買家為用家。
另外,本年5月,項目獲買家以4,201.68萬元購入19樓2及3室,以及2個電車車位和2個電單車位,上述單位面積共3,504平方呎,平均呎價約1.2萬元。資料顯示,登記買家為Ellensburg Limited,該公司董事為大家樂 (00341) 首席執行官羅德承。
據了解,目前第一集團於同區亦有國際企業中心1期甲廈項目在推售中,物業位於柴灣角街,料於年底正式入伙。

For Hong Kong’s Office Market, Border Reopening Holds Key to Unlocking Demand
“Increased space availability and the more attractive rental level in Hong Kong’s office market have created opportunities for occupiers to move into newer, greener buildings at a lower cost, but a broader rebound in demand will take root once the border with mainland China reopens”, a property agent says.
The Asian financial hub’s Grade A office rental rates fell 1.7 percent year-to-date as of June 2022, according to an agency’s office market research report. The agency predicts a 2-3 percent drop in rents for the full year, with a second-half recovery to be led by core CBD districts as the fifth wave of COVID-19 subsides.
All else remaining equal, the agent sees occupiers gravitating to newer buildings at the expense of Hong Kong’s aging office stock — unless owners take the initiative to make improvements to their decades-old properties.
“Most of the occupiers in the office sector are still looking for a cost-efficient real estate strategy,” the agent says. “Some of the large multinational corporations would look for offices with strong green credentials because they may need to comply with certain such certifications now or potentially in the future. As such, a flight-to-quality is really a strong recurring theme that we’re seeing on the ground nowadays.”
Emerging New Sectors Delivers Boost
The agency’s research shows that during the first half of 2022, office rents fell 1.6 percent year-to-date in Greater Central and 2.7 percent in Prime Central. Across the harbour, rents dipped by a milder 0.5 percent in Kowloon East and edged up 0.3 percent in Greater Tsimshatsui during the period.
Among the occupiers moving in Tsimshatsui was BKYO, a locally based fintech firm, leasing 23,400 square feet gross (2,174 square metres) of space at The Gateway Tower 5 in the second quarter. The agent says the move wasn’t surprising given the Hong Kong government’s strategy to support for tech-led sectors under the city’s development plan.
“The government is keen to push the new economy,” the agent says. “This is a long-term initiative in which Hong Kong would like to boost fintech, start-ups, medical science, innovation and technology (I&T), and other such related new businesses. This trend is set to stimulate new streams of demand from sectors like co-working space operators, TMT and healthcare to support Hong Kong’s office market going forward.”
COVID Optimism
Looking beyond offices, the agent anticipates that Hong Kong’s retail sector is bottoming out as lockdown measures start to ease. The agency’s report forecasts food and beverage rents to rise by 1 to 5 percent in the second half of the year, with some high street rents likely to reach 3 to 5 percent growth.
“We are expecting the social distancing policy to relax in the second half of this year,” the agent says, “this coupled with the next round of the Consumption Voucher program soon to be issued in August, and provided that there are no recurrences of extreme waves of COVID in the city, this could drive some momentum leading to greater stability and recovery in the retail market.”
On the investment side, demand for industrial properties is tipped to remain strong after global fund managers fuelled a rush of acquisitions in the first half. An emerging factor in this industrial demand is the opportunity for converting existing buildings into data centres, which was illustrated most recently with Angelo Gordon’s plan to transform a building in Tuen Mun into a 20-megawatt data centre facility.
With border restrictions having the potential to ease and business confidence returning, The agency sees opportunities for more fund manager activity in the city during the coming months.
“We see PE funds with dry powder poised to deploy,” the agent says. “Some of them may have hesitated or their activities were frustrated because of COVID in the first half of 2022, they now seem set to become increasingly active in the second half and into 2023. We expect industrial properties, hotels, and development sites will continue to gain traction among investors.”

太古坊二座錄大手洽租最新預租率近50%
太古地產公布,旗下鰂魚涌太古坊二座預租率接近50%,繼早前獲瑞士寶盛私人銀行承租4層樓面,涉近10萬方呎,該項目亦新錄承租個案,進駐租戶包括東方匯理香港、德國化工業巨頭巴斯夫集團及波士頓顧問集團等,此外,該項目早前錄大型銀行承租逾15萬方呎樓面,佔可租用樓面近20%,成為項目主要租戶;據業內人士指出,上述呎租約50元,涉及月租約750萬,為近年港島區最大手租務成交。
新錄東方匯理及巴斯夫承租
太古地產辦公樓業務董事Don Taylor表示,太古坊二座即將迎來多個新租戶,令原本已發展蓬勃的太古坊社區更添活力,實在令人期待。
在疫情持續不斷的情況下,企業工作模式亦改變,租戶在考慮辦公室選址時,比以往更着重員工的身心健康和工作效率。
樓高42層 料年底落成
瑞士寶盛大中華區私人銀行主管及香港分行行長戚志雄表示,集團視大中華為主要市場,本港更是發展重心,期待以太古坊二座作為擴展業務的重要基地。
太古坊二座預期於今年年底前落成,項目樓高42層,總樓面達100萬方呎,至於項目太古坊一座早於2018年9月竣工,前身為常盛大廈,是太古投資150億的太古坊重建計畫中,首幢落成的辦公樓,樓高48層,總樓面約100萬方呎。

上述售出3伙均位於高層,屬海景戶,飽覽昂船州大橋全景,建築面積約1700至2200方呎,成交價介乎2700萬至逾3100萬,其中兩伙由一名投資者斥資近6000萬連環購入,呎價高近1.6萬。

市建觀塘項目放寬商業限制 可剔除酒店發展增重建彈性
疫情及封關措施影響下,旅遊及酒店業大受打擊,連商業項目亦需要調整策略推出;市建局觀塘市中心重建計畫第4和第5發展區,最新向城規會提交修訂申請,調整酒店、寫字樓及商業零售組合比例,增加項目發展彈性,容許中標發展商視乎需要「變陣」,包括可放棄興建酒店等,惟整個項目可建總樓面維持約216.59萬方呎不變。業界指,整體商業氣氛不景氣,不排除有流標風險。
據城規會文件顯示,上述觀塘市中心主地盤第4及第5發展區項目位於新盤凱滙對出,毗鄰港鐵觀塘站,地盤面積約26.5萬方呎,包括約26.25萬方呎政府土地。興建2幢樓高13至64層、另有5層地庫的綜合商業大樓,可建總樓面約216.59萬方呎;商業用途分布相當有彈性。
最大修訂為酒店部分由指定興建約34萬方呎,修訂為不設樓面面積下限至最多34.44萬方呎,意味中標財團可選擇不興建酒店或最多提供400間酒店客房。
發展商:增項目吸引力
其次,寫字樓部分由列明須興建約70萬方呎樓面,最新修訂為70.89萬方呎至137.37萬方呎。最後商業用途樓面 (商店及服務行業、食肆、娛樂場所及教育機構),零售部分由原來指定須興建約100萬方呎樓面,最新修訂為69.97萬方呎至102萬方呎。另項目亦設有約7.08萬方呎政府、機構或社區設施樓面,及提供約2.18萬方呎的公共交通交匯處。
市建局指,因應2019至2020年度有3幅位於啟德的商業用地「流標」、加上疫情導致不穩定的酒店需求,以及去年底向發展商收集到不同的意見後,在可建總樓面不變下,調整發展參數增加彈性,容許未來中標發展商因應市場需求,適度調整准許的商業發展樓面作不同業務用途。而中標發展商日後可為三類非住宅業務,即為酒店、寫字樓及商業樓面提供可調整的彈性。
可建總樓面逾216萬呎不變
為保持項目位處策略性位置的「市中心」特色及形象,不論未來發展組合如何調整,該項目的下層保留不少於69.97萬方呎的商業樓面面積。
有發展商表示,修訂項目條款可增加吸引力,如可自行決定是否發展酒店。
另外,寫字樓及零售樓面亦有調整,增加彈性。有測量師說,在疫情影響下通關無期,旅遊及酒店業大受打擊,早前的規劃限制較多發展商未必有興趣,而是次改動容許中標發展商對各組合自行作出發展,增加項目彈性必定對標價有正面作用,惟近年商業地頻流標收場,而且整體商業氣氛不景氣,區內未來仍有不少商業項目供應,認為該項目仍有流標風險。
另一測量師表示,放寬項目發展限制,容許不同樓面作出調配可以增加項目吸引力,惟九龍東未來仍有不少寫字樓樓面新供應,在整體商業氣氛呆滯下,需要時間吸納,而且區內早前曾有不少同類項目流標收場,認為項目仍有流標風險。

凱龍瑞基金4.3億購葵涌工廈 鄧成波家族沽貨 涉永昇90%業權
疫市持續不斷,加上中美衝突升溫,財團投資工廈熱情未減,鄧成波家族收購多年的葵涌永昇工業大廈約90%業權,剛以4.3億易手,買家為凱龍瑞基金。該項目早於年前申請強拍,尚餘七個單位未收購。
永昇工業大廈佔地逾2萬方呎,可塑性高,加上項目年前申請強拍,有望於不久的將來統一業權,自從鄧成波家族推出放售以來,頻獲財團洽購,消息人士透露,凱龍瑞基金已落實購入該廈約90%業權,作價4.3億,以地積比9.5倍計算 (未計可申請放售),可建總樓面約20.9萬方呎,今番易手涉及90%業權,計算樓面呎價約2286元。市場人士則指,新買家看中工廈發展前景,由於項目佔地龐大,可重建發展數據中心,應市場需求。
餘下7個單位未收購
本報昨日就上述消息分別向鄧成波家族及凱龍瑞基金作查詢,惟兩者均沒有作出回應。
葵涌永昇工業大廈位於永基路26至30號,佔地面積約2.2萬方呎,樓高約11層,於1979年落成,樓齡約43年,鄧成波家族早於2011年斥資約1.4億,購入該廈約80%業權,及後不斷收購,集齊90%業權,目前餘下7個物業未購入,當中包括2個車位,早於2020年10月申請強拍,當時全幢估值逾3.86億。今番沽售物業,料獲利可觀。
早於年前申請強拍
至於該項目買家凱龍瑞基金,近年活躍於市場,凱龍瑞基金除了入貨外,亦有出貨,早前推灣仔軒尼詩道全新商廈「333 Hennessy」現樓發售,並錄分層單位及全層成交,呎價約1.78萬至1.98萬,該廈樓高23層,地下至10樓為商鋪用途,11至23樓為商業用途。項目設計新穎,樓層設有廚房,會議室,適合作私人會所,非一般的傳統寫字樓用途。
基金旗下尖沙嘴金馬倫道項目亦有新進展,早前獲醫思健康 (2138) 認購30%股權,總額不多於2.75億,主要用作醫療中心及其他臨牀用途。
該基金近年併購尖沙嘴金馬倫道舊樓,集合業權,將發展銀座式商廈,總投資額約20億元。
2018年,該基金斥資13.5億向鄧成波購入灣仔謝斐道王子酒店,樓面約8.6萬方呎,其後斥資1億翻新,由酒店改商廈用途,易名為「凱聯」,並打造成提供辦公室及餐飲一站式主題商廈,現時出租率逾80%,呎租約40餘元,大廈內有餐廳、商務中心及會所等。

安達臣道石礦場首幅商業地 月底截標
前觀塘安達臣道石礦場屬於近年新發展社區,區內3幅商業地,提供近30萬平方呎商業樓面,其中1幅今季率先推出,可建樓面13.9萬平方呎,由於位置較偏離市區,相信將會發展成民生商場。
3地增29萬呎商業樓面
前安達臣道石礦場數年前關閉後,在修復之後重新發展成為住宅社區,隨着區內屋苑陸續落成入伙,居民移入將會對零售、餐飲以及社區設施需求增加。當年政府規劃期間,除了房委會安排在區內的3幅公營房屋用地內,提供共約1.83萬平方呎的零售設施外,亦安排了區內有3幅商業地以及2個岩洞發展選址,合共提供約28.8萬平方呎商業樓面。
當中最早推出為測量約份第3約地段第1078號用地,位於北南兩個住宅區中間,將與規劃中的室內運動場館組成文娛核心區,亦會成為安達臣道社區西面的進出口、經安健道接駁至秀茂坪的住宅區。
地皮佔地約6.3萬平方呎,規劃為商業用途,可建樓面約13.9萬平方呎,已經在7月29日開始招標,並將於8月26日截標。市場預計,該幅商業地皮估值約5.5億至8.5億元,每呎樓面地價約4,000至6,100元。
由於地皮規模屬於中小型,大約相當於一般住宅項目的基座商場,再加上位處較隔涉的民生區,預計較適合打造成為民生商場,提供一般餐飲、超市、民生商品滿足區內居民需求。項目投資額預計大約10億元,租金收入較為穩定,適合中長綫投資。
2地合併 減低流標風險
除了上述商業地外,地政總署亦將區內2幅商業地「打包」組成測量約份第3約地段第1077號商業地,並且納入賣地表內。該幅地皮由安禧街及安健道2幅相距甚遠的地皮組成,由於安禧街一端的商業地佔地只不足1萬平方呎,可建樓面更只有約4,844平方呎,吸引力低,獨立推出恐怕會「流標」收場,故此結合安健道另一幅規模相對較大的商業地「打包」推出,合併成的商業地佔地亦只有5.7萬平方呎,可建樓面不足11萬平方呎,仍然只是小型的商業項目。
商業地以外,安達臣道石礦場將會研究發展岩洞,成為商業設施,包括在岩壁上將規劃出兩個商業設施,合共提供近4萬平方呎商業樓面,可以作為咖啡廳、餐廳、紀念精品店、零售商店,以至酒窖、水療設施等商業設施。

長沙灣三相連全幢物業放售 市值2.3億
有業主放售位於長沙灣元州街三相連全幢物業,預計市價約2.3億元。該批物業涉及全幢業權100%。

同時,物業投資方向靈活,除了可靜候區內大規模的收購重建發展外,新買家亦可考慮自行將項目重建成一座樓高26層的商住物業,地庫可作停車場,地下可作商舖及大廈入口,樓上則可作發展住宅,共提供約92個實用面積約400餘方呎的單位。

Residential transactions dive 51pc
Hong Kong's Land Registry received only 3,671 sales and purchase agreements of residential units last month, down by 23.9 percent from June and 51.9 percent less than a year ago.
The value of the transactions for residential units also dropped to HK$33.9 billion, 25 percent less from June and 56.9 percent less year-on-year.
In addition, the number of all contracts also slid 20.6 percent monthly to 4,997 in July, 49.8 percent less than one year ago. The value of all agreement in July decreased to HK$41.9 billion, 21.9 percent less from June and 55.4 percent less than one year ago.
However, new flats have had warm welcome. Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has put the fifth price list for phase 1A of Novo Land in Tuen Mun on sale, offering another 168 flats at roughly the same price as the previous ones, after the first round sold out.
A total of 336 units as well as 12 units with special features go sale this Saturday, priced from HK$12,996 to HK$16,289 after discounts.
Elsewhere, the 246 homes on offer at One Innovale - Archway in Fanling were more than 11 times oversubscribed after receiving over 3,000 checks, the developer Henderson Land Development (0012) said.
Henderson plans to release 72 more flats this weekend, priced at HK$13,698 to HK$16,502 per sq ft after discounts.

外資代理行:甲廈租金微跌 下半年升幅溫和
有外資代理行統計,上半年本港甲廈租金僅微跌,該行認為下半年核心區可帶動整體市況,租金料溫和增長。
據該行每月商廈租金走勢報告,7月份絕大部分商業區波幅不大,升跌均在1%之內,反映整體租金甚平穩。該行指,上半年港島區甲廈微跌0.7%,核心區如中環及金鐘更錄升幅,分別達114.7元及73.9元。
國際金融中心二期 連錄租務
報告亦提到,除了寫字樓物業之間為了留住現有租戶的激烈競爭外,業主和共享辦公空間營運商的競爭也很激烈。業主現更願意提供靈活的租賃條款,並為租戶提供設備齊全的辦公空間。隨着租金下調,更多租戶正在重新考慮傳統的辦公室選擇。因租金回調,部分商戶進行升級,如一家加拿大投資機構,原租用商務中心,現轉租國際金融中心二期約4,500平方呎單位。
國際金融中心二期近期錄數宗租務,其中高層11至16室,建築面積約8,733平方呎,成交呎租約150元。物業屬極高層,景觀甚佳,新租客為投資機構。另外,該廈約2.75萬平方呎樓面,獲美資投資銀行富瑞金融集團 (Jefferies) 租用,該公司原租用同區長江集團中心,趁租金下跌轉租國際金融中心二期。據悉,有關樓面原由野村證券租用,集團早前棄租。此外,另一家美資機構景順投資 (Invesco),租用怡和大廈約3.1萬平方呎樓面,機構原租用同區花園道3號,亦屬辦公室升級。
該行預計,核心商業區的寫字樓需求將持續增加並支持整體租賃市場,推動寫字樓租金將在2022年下半年錄得溫和增長。
九龍續租個案多
至於九龍區方面,近日租務以搬遷為主,包括一家船務公司,原租用觀塘 Two Harbour Square 商廈,現轉租尖沙咀港威大廈約2.3萬平方呎樓面。
該行指,從近期的租戶搬遷來看,市場對靈活辦公空間的需求不斷增長,租戶尋求升級或優化寫字樓仍然是九龍區寫字樓租賃市場的主要趨勢。除了追求寫字樓的質量外,九龍區租賃市場內租戶間對優質辦公室的競爭,很大程度上受到租戶續約的支持。7月份九龍區錄得了一些重要的租戶續約個案。
展望未來,在市場不確定的情況下,預計租賃需求將繼續萎縮。在通關之前,相信租戶在未來3至6個月內將保持謹慎,寫字樓租金將維持平穩。

瑞士寶盛租太古坊二座 涉10萬呎
港島東太古坊二座今年落成,據悉目前出租率近5成,而瑞士寶盛租用其中4層,涉10萬平方呎樓面。
太古坊二座預期於今年年底前落成,為太古地產 (01972) 投資150億元的太古坊重建計劃中最新亮點。太古坊二座樓高42層,總樓面面積達100萬平方呎。早前瑞士財富管理公司瑞士寶盛承租4層辦公樓面,面積合共近10萬平方呎,太古坊二座陸續迎來新租戶,其中包括全球最大資產管理公司之一東方匯理香港、國際化工公司巴斯夫集團,及旗艦管理顧問波士頓顧問公司。
另外,一家銀行確認租用太古坊二座總樓面面積逾15萬平方呎辦公空間,佔大廈的可租用樓面面積近20%,成為太古坊二座的主要租戶,亦是近年港島區最大租務之一。據悉,目前項目預租率接近5成。
總樓面百萬呎 預租近5成
瑞士寶盛大中華區私人銀行主管及香港分行行長戚志雄表示,視大中華地區為主要市場,其中香港更是發展重心,故期待以太古坊二座作為擴展區內業務的重要基地。

遠展12.4億 低價奪市建局西營盤地
樓面呎價13085 發展商:入標已計加息因素
遠東發展 (00035) 以12.4億元投得市建局西營盤崇慶里 / 桂香街發展項目,每呎樓面地價約13,085元,屬於市場預期下限。發展商指,港島地皮供應罕有,長遠看好區內發展前景。
遠東發展地產總裁方文昌回覆本報查詢時指出,集團十分高興投得上述項目,因為用地位處港島市區,屬於罕有供應,而且地點優越,鄰近港鐵西營盤站兩個出口,交通便利,加上西營盤屬於發展成熟的社區,配套充足,因此集團看好項目的發展前景,並初步預計發展中小型單位。
擬發展中小單位
另外,問及加息對樓市影響。方文昌指,當時入標已經計入加息、項目設計條款等因素,又預計未來本港的加息幅度緩慢,而且市區剛性需求強勁,故對項目發展有信心。
項目於上月已共接獲9份標書,多家大型發展商均派代表到場入標,包括會德豐、新地 (00016) 、新世界 (00017) 、信置 (00083) 等。截標前市場對項目估值介乎約12.8億至16.1億元,每呎樓面地價1.35萬至1.7萬元。
參考EPRC經濟地產庫資料,鄰近上述項目之近半年平均成交實用呎價,半新盤薈臻的呎價約22,934元,而藝里坊‧1號則約31,372元。
有測量師表示,是次中標價合理,而且該區近年新盤售價約2.8萬至3萬多元左右,估計該區住宅項目的承接力不俗。
項目旁邊是崇慶里兒童遊樂場,佔地約1.16萬平方呎,總樓面約9.48萬平方呎,預計將建成商住項目,提供約165伙私人住宅。中標發展商需要按照發展協議中列明的標準與品質、可持續發展及智能系統要求,以發展新項目。

上月工商鋪註冊錄366宗
受疫情及加息等利淡因素「夾擊」,工商鋪觀望氣氛籠罩。有代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示,工商鋪市場於上月錄註冊量366宗 (主要反映6月份市況),按月下跌約29.6%,註冊金額則錄58.94億,按月微升約5.9%。
今年7月工商鋪各板塊註冊宗數全綫下跌,工廈及商金註冊量分別按月降約34.4%及28.6%,最新分別錄187及100宗,商廈註冊量則按月跌約16.8%,最新報79宗,連升三個月後再次回落。7月份整體註冊宗數最新報366宗,數字再度跌至今年低位,按月挫約29.6%。7月份整體註冊金額錄58.94億元,按月微升約5.9%。
註冊金額按月微升5.9%
7月逾1億物業註冊宗數錄4宗,按月減少1宗,當中工廈及鋪位物業註冊各佔兩宗,工廈包括元朗宏業東街8號晉美工業大廈全幢及葵涌貨櫃碼頭路51至63號葵順工業中心10樓全層,分別以約2.6億及1.195億成交,而鋪位物業登記則包括以13.6億成交的大埔曉運路10號運頭塘邨全幢商場。
該行代理表示,雖然市場一直對通關充滿期待,但現時通關時間表仍然未知,令市場觀望氣氛濃厚,使上月工商鋪註冊宗數大幅回落。

Far East wins Sai Ying Pun URA race for $1.24b
Far East Consortium (0035) has won a Urban Renewal Authority residential project in Sai Ying Pun for HK$1.24 billion.
The project to redevelop Sung Hing Lane and Kwai Heung Street went to Mega Source Global, a fully owned subsidiary of FEC.
The project covers a site area of 1,077 square meters and will provide a total gross floor area of about 8,804 sq m.
After redevelopment the site will offer about 165 homes.
The average floor area price is HK$13,085 per square foot. That compares to an earlier market valuation of HK$13,500 to HK$17,000 per sq ft.
The authority also expects the renewal project to connect with a nearby children's playground and to improve pedestrian access between Des Voeux Road West and Kwai Heung Street.
Additionally, the renewal authority requires the developer to comply with environmentally sustainable and smart provisions to help create a sustainable living environment.
Far East Consortium's chief of property Raymond Fong remarked that land on Hong Kong Island is in short supply.
He noted the site is convenient for transportation by being close to two exits of Sai Ying Pun MTR station. And with Sai Ying Pun being a well developed community, Far East is positive about the project.
The project attracted nine bidders including Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), New World Development (0017) and CK Asset (1113).

Two more projects to enter red hot market
Two projects in Sai Kung and Ho Man Tin offering altogether 1,154 units will join the red hot primary property market, as three big projects go on sale this weekend.
The Lands Department received two applications for presale consent in July: Phase 1 of Shap Sze Heung in Sai Kung with 773 flats developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) and the Grand Homm in Ho Man Tin with 381 flats.
The authority also approved presales for two projects: Phase 1 of Park Peninsula in Kai Tak, developed by Wheelock Properties and several other developers, will have 1,017 flats while the One Innovale-Archway developed by Henderson Land Development (0012) will offer 603 flats in Fanling.
The first batch of 318 flats at One Innovale-Archway to be sold on Saturday, was 21 times oversubscribed with over 7,000 cheques by 8 pm yesterday, according to Henderson Land's general manager of the first sales department Thomas Lam Tat-man.
Meanwhile in Tuen Mun, Grand Jeté kickstarts the hot market with 80 flats for sale today, and Sun Hung Kai Properties' Novo Land follows tomorrow after receiving more than 13,000 cheques for the 336 flats on offer.
According to Rating and Valuation Department, 1,200 flats were completed in the first half of 2022, an 18-year high.
Moreover, 1,700 nano flats will be completed this year, nearly triple that of 2021, while the relaxation on the mortgage insurance programme and interest rate hikes will put pressure on prices, a property agency said.

金鐘力寶中心呎租45元跌15%
受疫情等因素衝擊,核心區甲廈租金急下滑。金鐘力寶中心中層單位,於交吉半年後,以每呎45元租出,較舊租金下跌約15%。
交吉半年始租出
市場消息透露,金鐘力寶中心一座中層6室,建築面積約2100方呎,新以每呎約45元租出,月租約9.45萬,據悉,上址舊租金為每呎約53元,惟租戶於今年2月租約屆滿遷出,業主亦將單位重新放租,故最新租金較舊租金下跌約15%,屬貼市水平。
事實上,該甲廈於疫市下租金備受壓力,資料顯示,該廈二座高層相連單位,於上月以每呎約49元租出,較舊租金急挫逾3成;據業內人士指出,力寶中心於疫市租金跌幅「最傷」,主要因為該甲廈早已賣散業權,各小業主於租務市場上可謂「各自為政」,為免單位丟空,業主願減租吸客。
至於買賣方面,該甲廈近期較矚目成交為二座高層2室,屬多按物業,建築面積1341方呎,於上月以3710萬售出。地產代理指出,2016年起業主曾3次向多家財務公司承造按揭,現時成交價屬市價水平,買家為中資企業。
據了解,原業主早於1996年斥資2120萬,一併購入上述單位及毗鄰3室,計入上月以2970萬售出的3室,以及是次以3710萬售出的2室,合共套現6680萬,持貨26年帳面獲利4560萬。

疫市下商廈物業仍備受追捧,再錄大手成交。上環東協商業大廈低層全層易手,作價7800萬,呎價約1.6萬,低市價約5%。
上環德輔道中244至248號東協商業大廈7樓全層以7800萬售出,以建築面積約4870方呎計,呎價約1.6萬,原業主於1988年以841.3萬購入,持貨34年帳面獲利6985.7萬,期間升值逾8倍。
據地產代理指出,上址早前於市場以1.1億放售,惟受疫情及美國聯儲局連番加息影響,市場洽購問盤淡靜,令業主議幅逐步擴闊,成交價低市價約5%,上址現時由會計師行以17.5萬租用,料買家享租金回報約2.7厘。
美國銀行中心低層意向4998萬
有代理表示,金鐘夏愨道美國銀行中心 6樓10至11室,建築面積1428方呎,意向價4998萬,呎價3.5萬,該物業以交吉形式出售,亦以每呎47元招租。
此外,另一代理稱,中環皇后大道中79至83號萬興商業大廈低層A室,建築面積約850方呎,業主意向售價約1870萬,呎價約2.2萬。

恒基大坑項目申強拍底價逾5.8億
市區可供發展地皮有限,不少財團變陣併購舊樓申請強拍,藉此增加土地儲備。其中,恒基收購多年的大坑新村街項目,上月獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令之後,落實於本月25拍賣,底價為5.887億。
根據早前土地審裁處文件顯示,恒基早於2020年申請強拍新村街23及24號舊樓,但公司於今年5月中旬,向土地審裁處建議將已持有的新村街鄰近舊樓,一併納入是次強拍範圍,令整個強拍範圍擴展至新村街17至25號。
料重建後樓面逾4萬方呎
負責是次拍賣的代理指,上址由5幢5至7層高唐樓組成,其中17及17A號地下為商鋪,1至5樓為住宅單位;18及19號地下為商鋪,1至4樓為住宅單位;21及22號地下為商鋪,閣樓為儲存倉,1至5樓為住宅單位;23及24號地下為商鋪,1至5樓為住宅單位;25號地下為商鋪,1至5樓連天台為住宅單位。
資料顯示,新村街23及24號舊樓地盤面積約845方呎,連同新加入強拍的舊樓,合併後整項目為新村街17至25號,地盤面積擴展約4497方呎。根據銅鑼灣分區計畫大綱核准圖,該地皮現劃為「住宅 (甲類) 1」用途,預計未來重建後總樓面約40473方呎,若以強拍底價計算,每方呎地價約14545元。
恒基持有新村街23號全數業權,新村街24號餘下一地鋪未能收購,曾於20年至22年間三度向小業主收購遭拒,其後21年8月及今年5月出價提高至1809萬,惟仍未能打動小業主。

保柏香港租海濱滙6.6萬方呎樓面
醫療保險公司保柏香港,租用九龍灣海濱滙 2座兩層樓面,涉約6.6萬方呎。而保柏香港總部原在鰂魚涌柏克大廈,早前已遷往海濱滙 2座6樓。
保柏香港表示,新總部位於海濱滙 2座兩層樓面,樓面6.6萬方呎,辦公室內設有樓梯連接兩樓層,將容納超過960名辦公室員工。

美國銀行中心低層相連戶 意向價4998萬
中區商廈屬本港行政及商業核心要塞而屢受企業注目,恒基新近剛宣布旗下地標式甲廈 The Henderson 獲國際投資公司凱雷預租約2萬平方呎樓面,作為該集團亞太區總部,意味着跨國企業對香港金融中心地位投下信心一票。
新近有業主看準市況,交吉形式放售金鐘美國銀行中心低層相連戶,意向價約4,998萬元。
備醫務裝修間隔 合相關行業
有代理表示,位處金鐘夏愨道12號的美國銀行中心 6樓10至11室,總建築面積約1,428平方呎,意向價約4,998萬元,每呎叫價35,000元。物業將以交吉形式出售,單位享開揚城市景觀,而且附有醫務裝修間隔,合相關行業進駐,可即買即用,節省裝修成本及時間。
同步放租 每呎叫租47元
該代理補充,物業為區內知名指標甲廈,交通四通八達,質素上乘,甚具競爭力,向來深受企業歡迎;另外,單位同時以每平方呎約47元招租。而據資料顯示,2022年上半年香港區指標甲廈僅錄得8宗買賣個案;同時,美國銀行中心相連戶放售盤源緊絀,對上一宗成交亦已需要追溯至2021年尾,成交為11樓08至09室,面積約1,410平方呎,成交呎價約37,000元。
金鐘廊重建 起協同效應
該代理續稱,近年受疫情反覆及環球經濟不景氣所影響,寫字樓市場觀望氣氛濃厚,而隨着東鐵綫過海段通車後,令中區交通網絡更趨完善,加上政府展開金鐘廊重建發展計劃及比鄰夏愨道10號長江集團中心二期快將落成,在協同效應下,該廈升值潛力將被看高一綫。至於,現時甲級商廈造價跟隨大市走勢而有所調整,令以往一盤難求的指標商廈議價空間擴大,料可為個別實力投資者及用家締造入市良機,而是次出售單位質素上乘,在現時放售盤源中叫價亦最為相宜,相信會吸引企業或用家加快落戶,藉此提升品牌形象。

中資減在港投地 首7月入標數僅佔4%
業界:市場競爭減 料未來地價較平穩
受內房危機影響,中資減少在港投地,今年首7個月政府4次招標住宅官地,僅得兩個中資財團入標,佔比僅4%,相較去年1成比例有所減少。分析預計,市場競爭減少,未來地價將會較平穩。
據本報統計,連同年初流標的屯門青山公路「限呎地」,政府今年至今共推出4幅住宅官地招標,合共接獲46份標書,平均每幅地接獲11份標書,最多是由太古地產 (01972) 以19.6億元奪得的灣仔皇后大道地皮,共有21份標書。
今年4官地招標 僅兩間中資入標
在所接獲的46份標書之中,中國海外 (00688) 及中信泰富兩間中資財團分別就灣仔地皮提交標書,佔入標總數僅4%;相較之下,去年全年政府推出8幅住宅官地,共接獲90份標書,連同合資財團計算,至少有9份涉及中資財團、比例10%明顯減少。而且今年入標的兩間中資財團均屬國企,跟去年既有國企亦有民企有所不同。
若對比2020年,當年全年推出10幅地皮,共接獲136份標書,當中便有至少18份涉及中資財團,比率達13%。相較之下,近兩年在內房危機影響下,中資財團在港投地的活躍程度大減。
中資財團減少入標,投得地皮次數亦相應減少。2020年所批出的10幅官地便有至少4幅由中資財團奪得,比率高達4成;但去年只有中渝置地 (01224) 主席張松橋聯同九龍倉 (00004) 等聯手投得山頂文輝道地王。而今年成功批出的3幅地皮,更全由港資及外資財團奪得。
內地資金鏈添壓 投地活躍度降
有代理指出,中資投地活躍程度減少,跟內地資金鏈壓力有關,特別是香港項目的回本期長,在現時情況下未必太受內地發展商歡迎,相信這個因素不會在短期內能夠消除,政府賣地相信由本地財團為主。
至於中資搶地潮減退對於地價影響,該代理指,競爭減少相信地價亦不會爭得那麼貴,特別過往一段時間中資積極投地,有時候投地價錢相當進取,刺激市民預期地價貴、樓價將會更貴,形成一個循環,在現時情況下相信地價走勢將會較為平穩。

Office occupancies fall
Swire Properties (1972) saw the occupancy rate in its Hong Kong office portfolio fall a percentage point to 96 percent as of the end of June compared to the end of last year.
Pacific Place's office occupancy rate fell by one percentage point to 97 percent with a negative rental reversion of 18 percentage points in the first half.
And Taikoo Place, whose office occupancy rate also slid one percentage point to 96 percent, saw the negative rental reversion of 3 percentage points.
It said the negative reversions recorded for the two office towers were due to rentals being concluded three years on from the previous peak of the market.
The occupancy rate for Taikoo Hui Offices in the mainland slipped by a percentage point to 94 percent while that for One Indigo rose 2 percentage points to 95 percent.
In its Hong Kong retail portfolio, the occupancy rate for three malls remained unchanged, though their retail sales dipped. While sales for Cityplaza fell 4.9 percent, that of Citygate Outlets and The Mall, Pacific Place fell 1.8 percent and 1.6 percent respectively.

Huge demand for flats at Fanling
Henderson Land (0012) said it has received 4,500 cheques for One Innovale-Archway in Fan Ling, which will kick off sales this weekend, when other two major projects in Tuen Mun also go on sale.
The 318 flats at One Innovale-Archway which go on sale this Saturday were more than 13 times oversubscribed as of 6 pm yesterday.
Henderson Land's general manager of the first sales department Thomas Lam Tat-man said the one-room flats with a cloakroom, from 272 to 329 square feet, had received the most inquiries from potential buyers as the cloakroom could be transformed into a space for other purposes.
Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said there are an increasing number of customers interested in three-bedroom flats at phase 1A of Novo Land, which has received 10,000 cheques ahead of the second round of sales of 348 flats this weekend.
The three-bedroom units are expected to be sold out this weekend because flats priced within HK$10 million are in low supply and buyers can opt for a 90 percent mortgage, SHKP's real estate agency general manager Andy Chan Hon-lun said.
Also this week, Grand Jeté in Tuen Mun will put 80 flats up for sale on Friday. Developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties and CK Asset (1113), the project will offer 75 flats priced from HK$11,996 to HK$17,261 per sq ft and the other five with rooftops for sale by tender.
(The Standard) 工商鋪錄337宗買賣按月跌24%
據一間代理行統計,7月份工商鋪表現疲弱,市場僅錄約337宗成交,按月跌幅約24%,為今年度按月新低。
代理行:金額48億按月跌39%
該行認為,經濟及政治局勢持續不明朗,短期內工商鋪持續淡靜,當中寫字樓表現看淡。該行代理表示,根據資料顯示,7月份工商鋪僅錄約337宗成交,為過去7個月新低,與6月份約444宗比較,則下調約24%,而與去年同期比較亦下跌約46%。
7月份金額錄約48億,較上月約79.11億跌約39%,去年同期約147.09億比較,跌幅達67%。
同時,在工商鋪範疇中,以商廈表現最差,僅錄約44宗買賣,與6月相比下降約23%,為今年度第二新低,涉及金額約4.01億,較6月約10.02億,急跌近60%,跌幅較整體工商鋪為高,反映寫字樓買賣最受影響。
該代理續指,投資者入市心態亦變得更謹慎。7月份工廈市場共錄約193宗買賣,對比6月急跌約33%,按年亦遞減約49%,7月份工廈成交金額15.91億,按月跌48%,較去年7月大跌72%。

灣仔北海中心地鋪1.2億易手 投資者麥志剛沽貨 12年升值1倍
疫市下市場仍錄大手買賣,灣仔軒尼詩道北海中心一個地鋪,建築面積約2600方呎,以1.2億易手,平均呎價4.6萬,買家為住宅投資者,新近轉投鋪市。原業主為MAPLE時裝老闆、資深投資者麥志剛,持貨12年,物業升值一倍。
疫下鋪市不寂靜,屢錄矚目成交,繼早前尖沙嘴栢麗購物大道鋪位易手,資深投資者麥志剛沽售持有自用多年的灣仔北海中心地下巨鋪,並以售後租回形式,在此繼續經營旗下時裝店。
灣仔軒尼詩道338號北海中心地下D號鋪,剛以1.2億易手,該鋪位建築面積約2600方呎,平均呎價4.6萬,現址由麥志剛旗下的連鎖時裝MAPLE FASHION使用多年,將售後租回3年,月租由26萬至30萬,買家為新晉投資者,過往鍾情買住宅,今番首度進軍鋪市,回報介乎2.6厘至3厘。
平均呎價4.6萬
據了解,該宗買賣以公司易手形式進行,新買家不用支付物業釐印費,原業主麥志剛早於2010年8月以6000萬購入該鋪,作價6000萬,今番沽貨,帳面獲利6000萬,物業升值一倍。
市場人士指,經營連鎖時裝店的麥志剛,對鋪市觸覺敏銳,近年成為疫市贏家,先後買賣鋪位,令市場側目,曾是製衣商人的他,後來拓展零售連鎖店MAPLE FASHION,該盤生意走大眾化路綫,進駐核心二綫區及民生旺段。
買家為新晉投資者
早於去年,麥氏買賣西環卑路乍街22至24A號懋華大廈地下雙號鋪,面積約1300方呎,作價約3300萬,呎價約25385元,持貨3個月帳面獲利約620萬,物業升值約23%。市場消息透露,今年以來,他愈戰愈勇涉足大買賣。
公司買賣省稅項
北海中心屬於灣仔名廈,尤其寫字樓受捧,但凡短炒寫字樓的知名投資者,皆涉足該廈,包括早年的資深投資者黎汝遠,以及近年熱衷於中短綫買賣的正八集團主席廖偉麟,均大舉在此購入寫字樓;至於該廈鋪位業主皆為長揸,該地段位處灣仔及銅鑼灣港鐵站之間,屬於灣仔民生地段,隨着港鐵會展站開通,帶來更多人流,市場人士指,港鐵新路綫均在疫市下開通,未見為市場帶來巨大反應,若將來通關後,經濟恢復,正面因素將會逐漸呈現。

Prices ease up as home sales boom
Henderson Land (0012) has released a fourth price list for One Innovale-Archway in Fan Ling, which offers more than 180 units and will kick off sales on Wednesday, after selling all units in the first batch on Saturday.
The fourth list, released on Saturday, showed a 1.5 percent rise in price to an average of HK$14,842 per sellable square foot.
Henderson Land also said the price lists will be for 182 units while another three will be sold by tender this Wednesday.
Before the release, all 317 units of phase one of One Innovale had sold out by 4.45pm on Saturday, bringing in over HK$1.5 billion, according to the general manager of the first sales department, Thomas Lam Tat-man.
Of the units sold in the previous price list, the highest-priced was a three-bedroom unit with 609 square feet of sellable area, which sold for HK$8.89 million.
Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) also unveiled its sixth price list for its phase 1A of Novo Land in Tuen Mun on Saturday, providing 87 flats with an average of HK$14,398 per square foot.
It plans to also start the sale of the rest of the 140 units in phase 1A of Novo Land on Wednesday, including one unit to be sold by tender.
On Saturday, SHKP also sold out all 336 units in phase 1A of Novo Land on its price list, said Andy Chan Hon-lun, its real estate agency general manager.
Also, Villa Lucca, a low-density luxury residential project in Tai Po, has received visits from more than 500 groups of potential buyers.
The project, jointly developed by Hysan Development (0014) and HKR International (0480), might come to market in form of a tender this month amid confidence in sales among developers.
Secondary-market sales have not been affected by primary ones, with a property agency saying 10 major housing estates saw 10 deals in the first weekend of August, three more than the previous weekend.
An agent said that the stable transaction numbers were the result of price reductions by some homeowners amid the rate rises and Sino-US tensions.
However, deals in 10 major blue-chip estates last month fell 38.8 percent to 232 from June, reaching a record low after 124 cases in September 2019.
July turnover also fell 37.5 percent to HK$1.22 billion, marking a 30-month new low.
Another agent expects that deals in the secondary market to decrease further as buyers become more cautious amid interest rates rises.

土瓜灣舊樓強拍 底價逾12億 恒基黃浩明:重建作商住項目
近年恒基併購土瓜灣一帶舊樓群,並且陸續踏入收成期,最新土瓜灣道68A至70C號獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令,底價為12.134億。發展商表示,日後將與毗鄰項目合併重建為商住項目,主打中小型單位。
據土地審裁處文件顯示,上述舊樓為一幢樓高9層商住項目,地下為商鋪,樓上為住宅。恒基自2018年申請強拍時持有約86.243%業權,到今年6月審訊時增持至94.709%業權,當時餘下8個單位並未成功收購,其中有兩名小業主從未出席審訊,同時無法聯繫。
或分兩個項目發展
根據判詞指出,申請人曾委託結構工程師對該舊樓進行結構評估,認為建築物已達其設計壽命,加上維修情況欠佳,部分設施未能符合現代安全標準與法定要求,而且維修成本與重建成本不成比例,故重建發展是合適做法。再者,申請人已採取一切合理步驟取得全部業權,故批出強拍令。
恒基執行董事黃浩明回覆查詢時表示,連同是次獲批強拍的項目,集團在上述地段合共有4個發展項目。雖然4幅屬相連地皮,但因整體業權有待統一,故整體規劃上,或分為兩個項目進行發展,現時尚在研究中,預計日後將重建為商住項目,主力提供中小型單位。
該幢舊樓早於1960年落成入伙,樓齡至今約62年,項目鄰近港鐵土瓜灣站,故具有重建價值。該項目地盤面積約1.2萬方呎,若重建作商住物業,以最高9倍地積比率計算,涉及可建樓面約10.4萬方呎,如以底價12.134億計算,每方呎樓面地價約1.17萬。
主力提供中小型單位
資料顯示,恒基於土瓜灣道、下鄉道及落山道一帶有4個收購項目,已完成併購的有3個,分別為落山道58至70號、美華街1至9號及下鄉道18至20號,若撇除上述已成功併購及是次獲批強拍令的項目,該公司於毗鄰仍有1個項目待批強拍令,意味整個重建區版圖已接近完成。該公司年報顯示,上述4個項目合併後總地盤面積4.25萬方呎,料重建後自佔商住總樓面約37.44萬方呎。
近年恒基密密併購舊樓發展,連同上述項目,今年來已有3個項目獲批強拍令,當中大坑新村街17至25號舊樓物業,將於本月25日舉行公開拍賣,底價為5.887億。

Amid largest property sale in two years, Hongkongers snap up bargain flats in New Territories
With 666 flats for sale on Saturday, Hong Kong saw the most units for sale in a single weekend in two years
Henderson Land launched 318 units at One Innovale-Archway while SHKP had 348 units available at Novo Land 1A, with flats starting at around HK$3 million
The first weekend of August recorded the largest weekend property sale in Hong Kong in two years, with 666 units split between two projects hitting the market on Saturday, marking the most units for sale in a single drop since 814 units went on sale in September 2020.
Henderson Land launched 318 units at One Innovale-Archway, in Fanling, selling 102 of the units within the first two hours. Just one unit was left by 5pm, according to property agents. The 310 sq ft one-bedroom flats sold out first, according to Thomas Lam, general manager of Henderson’s sales department.
The units sold at an average price of HK$14,168 per square foot, about 5 to 10 per cent lower than units going for sale in a nearby area. Unit sizes ranged from 209 sq ft to 609 sq ft, meaning flats started at about HK$2.96 million.
“Both projects will have good results as developers adopt lower prices to draw sales amid rising interest rates,” a property agent said.
Most buyers were in their 20s and 30s and many reside in the New Territories, according to another property agent.
One Innovale-Archway is the phase 1 development of 603 units set to be completed in March 2023. The whole project will be developed in three phases, with a total of 1,600 units.
Interest in One Innovale-Archway was red hot, with a total of 7,802 registrations recorded on Friday, or nearly 25 buyers for every unit available.
The Novo Land 1A development in Tuen Mun, from Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), was the second project to hit the market on Saturday.
SHKP listed 348 units, and a third had been sold by midday, according to property agents. By the end of the day, 336 had been sold, according to property agents.
Last weekend, Novo Land sold out all 336 units on offer in the first-batch release.
The project sold at a discounted price of HK$12,838 per square foot. Flats started at about HK$3.36 million, putting the smallest flats at about 262 sq ft. It received 18,506 registrations prior to the sale, or 55 buyers for every unit available.
If both projects sell out, it is estimated that nearly 700 new units in Hong Kong will be transacted in the first week of August, with 1,500 first-hand transactions for the whole month, according to the agent.
The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 75 basis points for a second time in July to curb rising inflation. Soon after, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) raised its base lending rate, the borrowing cost charged to commercial lenders.
This has led to speculation that the city’s major commercial banks, including HSBC and Bank of China Hong Kong, will soon increase their prime rate for the first time in four years.
Tense US-China relations, coupled with the impact of interest rate hikes, have left money sitting on the sidelines, but bargains currently on the market will stimulate an overall trading rebound, the agent said.
(south China Morning Post)湯臣1.93億購海富中心全層銀主盤 甲廈每呎造價1.81萬 低市價20%
受疫情及加息等因素打擊,甲廈售價備受壓力,金鐘海富中心全層銀主盤以1.93億易手,買家為湯臣集團,每呎造價約1.81萬,低市價約20%,並創該甲廈過去8年來新低。
據湯臣集團公布,該集團以1.93億購入金鐘海富中心二座 13樓全層,並指該收購屬集團策略長期投資,公司相信本港將繼續作為主要國際城市,並受益於政府有利的大灣區政策及中國強勁的經濟增長,預期收購事項將提升該集團物業投資組合,產生穩定的經常租金收入,並進一步加強集團於本港長遠發展,公司於適當時候可能將該物業用作為本港總部。
重返8年前水平
市場人士指出,上址為銀主盤,建築面積約10627方呎計,每呎造價約18161元,低市價約20%,創該廈過去八年呎價新低,原業主早於2004年以6800萬購入,惟及後淪為銀主盤,物業於18年間升值約1.25億,期間升值幅度約1.8倍。
有代理則表示,以上述海富中心造價每呎1.81萬,低市價約20%,市值每呎2.2至2.3萬水平。
該廈最高呎價曾高逾3.5萬,於2018年錄得,最新成交較高位跌逾48%,正反應疫市下經濟疫弱。
事實上,該甲廈早前亦錄銀主盤買賣,資料顯示,該廈二座17樓8室,建築面積約1875方呎,於今年4月以4780萬售出,呎價2.54萬。原業主2001年以821.25萬購入,惟及後淪為銀主盤,物業於21年間升值約3958.75萬,期間升值約4.8倍。
18年升值1.8倍
據代理行資料顯示,該甲廈自2020年以來共錄4宗買賣,呎價均高逾2.5萬,若該廈呎價貼近1.8萬水平,需追溯至2014年9月,為海富中心二座低層7室,建築面積1136方呎,當時以1850萬售出,每呎造價約16285元,故該甲廈最新成交呎價創過去8年以來新低水平。
海富中心二座最高成交呎價於2018年6月錄得,金鐘海富中心二座一個低層單位,面積約1436方呎,以每呎30500元成交,為該廈呎價首度突破3萬。至於一座最高成交呎價於2018年11月錄得,正八集團主席廖偉麟沽售海富中心一座 11樓04室,面積約6452方呎,作價2.3億,平均呎價35647元,屬該廈新高,該單位為短炒,於半年間升值25%。

馬亞木2600萬沽旺角車場 持貨27年升值2.46倍
受疫情及加息等利淡因素「夾擊」,鋪位市場觀望氣氛籠罩,資深投資者率先沽貨。市場消息指,由外號「小巴大王」馬亞木持有的旺角華富園20個車位,剛以約2600萬易手,平均每車位售價約130萬,持貨27年,帳面獲利1850萬,期間升值約2.46倍。
平均每個車位130萬
據市場消息透露,旺角豉油街110號華富園地下20個車位以約2600萬成交,平均每車位售價約130萬。據悉,上述一籃子車位由資深投資者、外號「小巴大王」馬亞木持有,早於1995年以750萬購入,故持貨27年帳面獲利約1850萬,物業期間升值約2.46倍。

商廈半年438買賣跌26% 金額挫56%
有代理表示,在疫情及股市大跌的雙重打擊下,首季商廈交投不斷向下尋底,猶幸在次季有資金趁低吸納,加上疫情轉穩,配合有新項目推出而帶動商廈買賣登記顯著反彈,重上接近百宗的相對高水平。
今年上半年,商廈物業買賣登記共錄438宗,較去年下半年的593宗大跌26%;金額方面,上半年共錄得193.77億元,較去年下半年的441.49億元急挫56%,量及值跌幅均為3大範疇之最;若按年同期比較,更各挫38%及35%。
以價格類別劃分,上半年7個價格組別的商廈買賣登記量錄得6跌1升,跌幅介乎10%至44%不等。其中以銀碼介乎500萬至1,000萬元以內組別的商廈買賣登記量跌幅最急劇,期內僅錄98宗,較去年下半年的174宗急挫44%,反映疫情影響波及經濟、股市的後遺症。
細價商廈 上半年買賣最旺
此外,上半年買賣登記最旺者為銀碼介乎200萬至500萬元以內的細價商廈,期內共錄127宗登記,但按半年亦下跌28%;至於逆市錄得唯一升幅的1億元或以上大碼類別上半年共錄36宗,主要受惠期內錄得全幢商廈的疑似內部轉讓但分拆成多宗分層登記所致,未必反映高價商廈交投明顯轉旺的情況。
從該行長期觀察的11個地區分析,大部分 (10區) 登記量在上半年錄得跌幅,當中以葵涌區的跌勢最急,期內只錄得2宗,較去年下半年的15宗急挫87%;其次沙田區也大跌81%,至8宗登記。至於逆市錄得升幅的唯一地區是灣仔/銅鑼灣區,上半年升了5%,共錄68宗登記,主因期內有新項目應市所帶動。此外,傳統核心地段的上環/中環 / 金鐘區及尖沙咀 / 佐敦區雙雙同錄得74宗登記,分別按半年減少13%及微跌3%,惟攜手成為期內登記量最活躍的觀察區;至於灣仔 / 銅鑼灣區及旺角 / 油麻地區也雙雙錄得68宗,同居於次位。
對於下半年的走勢,該代理指出,疫情對商廈的影響依然存在,近期美國息口調升幅度及節奏高且快,導致買家入市更加審慎,本地跟隨加息陰霾下恐令成交下滑。此外,新商廈落成量逾300萬平方呎,將令空置率持續高企,而大額成交因為投資者審慎觀望亦令成交金額趨跌。該代理預期,下半年商廈買賣登記量料輕微萎縮,下試420宗水平,按半年料微跌4%;至於登記金額則料因大額交投減少而顯著回落逾兩成,下試150億元左右。

Mad rush for Henderson homes at Fanling
Henderson Land Development (0012) has received more than 8,000 checks for 185 units at One Innovale-Archway in Fan Ling, making the batch nearly 43 times oversubscribed yesterday.
The second-round sales of 185 flats start tomorrow including 182 units to be sold at fixed prices.
Three other garden units will be open for bids.
Thomas Lam Tat-man, a general manager of sales at Henderson Land, said the earlier first round of sales saw 317 flats sold for a total of HK$1.52 billion.
The average price of the flats in the first round was HK$4.78 million with a HK$14,537 average price per square foot.
The remaining 101 flats in the project will be launched next week in the third round of sales.
Lam said it is possible to deliver the flats in October, judging by construction progress, and the presale consent for phase 2 of the project is expected to be approved in August.
Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) received at least 15,331 checks for the third-round sales of 140 units at Novo Land, making the batch 109 times oversubscribed.
This came as SHKP and CK Asset (1113) launched the sixth price list of Grand Jeté in Tuen Mun yesterday. The list includes 47 flats with an average price of HK$15,138 per sq ft after a 15 percent discount.
Meanwhile, Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066) named their jointly developed project in Ho Man Tin as In One. The project will be divided into three phases, with the first phase providing 447 flats.
In other news, the one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate, a benchmark used for pricing mortgages, rose for the fourth consecutive day to 1.50804 percent yesterday, the highest in two-and-a-half years.
(The Standard)中環中心呎租37元低10% 創12年來新低 回報僅1.24厘
疫市下核心區甲廈租金急下滑,曾由資深投資者蔡志忠拆售的中環中心 22樓,其一個單位交吉逾3年後,以每呎約37元租出,低市價約10%,回報低見1.24厘,創該廈過去12年以來呎租新低;業內人士指,疫情走勢反覆,加上甲廈市場正處供應高峰期,令甲廈租金持續受壓。
市場消息透露,中環中心 22樓11室,建築面積約3184方呎,新以每呎約37元租出,月租約117808元,業主於2019年5月向蔡志忠購入,因當時正值市場高峰期,購入價高達約1.13億購入,每呎造價3.58萬,若以最新租金計,租金回報僅約1.24厘。
交吉逾3年始租出
據代理行資料顯示,該甲廈近期頻錄承租個案,平均呎租介乎43元至85元,故每呎37元實屬偏低水平,若該甲廈較相近租金需追溯至2010年9月,當時該廈低層2號室,建築面積約1730方呎,以每呎約35元租出,故呎租37元,創該甲廈12年以來新低水平。
涉及面積約3184方呎
據地產代理指出,受疫情等因素影響,令甲廈租務需求急速放緩,加上現時市場正處供應高峰期,交吉樓面持續湧現,對商戶而言,寫字樓實在不愁租,令部份業主議幅持續擴闊,上址業主購入單位後,當時曾以每呎約70元放租,由於上址位處低層,以樓景為主、加上樓面大且沒有間隔,故長期以來市場問盤洽租疲弱,最終減價至每呎約37元租出。
較早前意向租金折讓近50%,以市值呎租約40餘元計,低市價約10%,並預測租約中有機會附帶免租期等優惠條款。
事實上,該樓層早前亦錄減價承租個案,資料顯示,中環中心 22樓3室,建築面積1651方呎,於上月以每呎約43元租出,月租約70993元,上址上一手租約於2019年5月以每呎約65元租出,今年5月屆滿,故交吉僅一個月即再度租出,租金急挫約33%。
據一外資代理行早前指出,今年第二季甲廈空置樓面達980萬方呎,創歷來新高水平,最新空置率報11.9%,因市場正處供應高峰期,預測明年底甲廈空置率有機會上升至14%,料屆時空置率將「見頂」。

觀塘「巨無霸」商業項目突招意向 市建局馬不停蹄推地 估值約259億
市建局馬不停蹄推出發展項目,於昨日土瓜灣住宅項目截收意向書後,突公布就觀塘市中心重建計畫第4和第5發展區商業項目,於今日起招收意向書;該項目早前向城規會申請調整酒店、寫字樓及商業零售組合比例增加彈性,包括可放棄興建酒店、商業樓面最多102萬方呎等,以打造區內新地標。
觀塘市中心項目是市建局歷來規模最大的單一重建項目,以五個區域進行分階段發展,該項目為最後一個發展區域,地盤面積為27.56萬方呎,可建總樓面約216.59萬方呎。並於下月7日截收意向書。
可建總樓面逾216萬呎
市建局指,該項目將興建一個地標式、綜合政府設施及商業發展的建築群,不但增加觀塘核心地段的民生和經濟活力,亦為市中心營造社區節點和連接周邊的門戶,作為九龍東新地標。項目亦將提供政府、機構或社區設施樓面。
採浮動規劃參數招標
為應對持續的疫情及最新的市場情況,市建局在該項目標書將試行「浮動規劃參數安排」,容許成功取得本項目的發展商及財團,在總樓面保持不變前提下,靈活調撥在指定範圍內商業樓面面積作辦公、酒店和其他商業用途;當中,商業樓面不可少於69.966萬方呎並需設於項目的低層樓層,以保持本項目位處觀塘區策略性位置的「市中心」特色。
有測量師說,日前政府放寬入境隔離政策令人鼓舞,商業氣氛未見有起色,相信大型商業項目短期內推出招標,市場反應趨向保守及審慎,不排除有流標風險,估算整項目落成後可達約460億。綜合市場估值,上述項目估值介乎約184.1億至259.9億,每呎樓面地價由8500至12000元。
另一測量師表示,九龍東商廈供應量多,目前空置率高達14%至15%,為全港最高,而且下半年仍有約300萬方呎甲級寫字樓新供應;相信該局或預計項目有機會流標,故推出彈性安排;惟在目前市況下不排除有流標風險。
業界:具流標風險
該項目早前向城規會提交修訂申請,當中酒店部分不設樓面下限至最多34.44萬方呎,意味中標財團可選擇不興建酒店或最多提供400間酒店客房。而寫字樓部分則修訂為70.89萬至137.37萬方呎,最後商業用途樓面,則修訂為69.97萬方呎至102萬方呎。若規劃獲批准,該局會據「浮動規劃參數安排」推出招標。

土瓜灣「小區模式」截收31份意向
市建局於土瓜灣第四個以「小區模式」發展的榮光街/崇安街發展項目,昨日截收31份意向書,除大型發展商之外,亦吸引多家中小型發展商參與,數量符合預期。
市建局表示,董事會設立的遴選小組,將會按照訂定的入圍準則,就發展商及財團的項目發展經驗和財政能力,從接獲的意向書中,挑選符合資格的發展商及財團,並根據董事會已批准的主要招標條款,邀請入圍的發展商及財團提交合作發展標書。
根據現場所見及綜合市場消息,多家本地大型和中型發展商均有遞交意向書,包括長實、新地、恒基、信和、會德豐地產、華懋、資本策略、泛海國際、鷹君、建灝地產、帝國集團、遠東發展、英皇國際、中國海外、招商局置地等。
英皇國際物業經理蔡宏基表示,加息對出價有一定影響,集團將採審慎樂觀態度,但依然有待招標文件公布後再作決定。
英皇蔡宏基:加息影響出價
業界指出,項目意向書數目符合預期,發展規模適中,預料大中小型發展商會入標,市場充斥不明朗因素,料財團出價審慎及保守。綜合市場估值約30.6億至33.4億,每方呎樓面地價約1.1萬至1.2萬。
該項目上址地盤面積約3.1萬方呎,可建總樓面約27.86萬方呎,發展規模是目前已推出項目中最細。

海富中心低層戶意向價2700萬

該行指出,是次放售單位間隔四正實用,景觀開揚,採光度高,外望公園景,配備全新寫字樓裝修,買家可即買即用。物業設有8部客用電梯和1部貨用電梯,方便用戶出入。

逾半申建數據中心 葵涌勢成供應重鎮
踏入5G年代,數據中心需求增加,發展商或財團紛紛積極為舊工廈申請重建或改裝,而中葵涌現有至少15宗相關申請,總樓面面積高逾390萬平方呎,當中至少一半屬於重建為數據中心的相關個案,估計葵涌勢成數據中心未來的供應重鎮之一。
中葵涌8項目 改劃發展用途
位於葵涌道以東的工業區,近年相繼有不少工廈重建或者改裝申請,單計中葵涌一帶,現已錄至少8宗的重建或改建為數據中心的申請,涉及約211萬平方呎樓面,其中有工廈最新向城規會遞交強拍申請,料會發展為數據中心。
金星工廈已批放寬地積及高限
上述的強拍申請涉及葵涌大連排道45至51號的金星工業大廈,該項目最新向土地審裁處遞交強拍申請,其現況市值逾5.65億元。文件顯示,項目地盤面積約23,570平方呎,早於1972年入伙,現為1幢樓高7層工廈,申請人已經集齊85.71%業權。申請人去年已經向城規會,申請放寬項目地積比率及建築物高度限制分別至11.4倍及主水平基準上129.35米,以發展為1幢22層高 (包括2層地庫) 的數據中心,並已獲會方批准,重建後項目總樓面約26.87萬平方呎。
同時,該帶早前亦接連有外資基金及發展商撤回新式工廈重建方案,並「變陣」發展數據中心,其中金朝陽 (00878) 去年10月就葵涌南華冷房工業大廈,向城規會申請改劃為新式工廈,惟今年中擬「轉軚」以地積比率11.4倍,發展1幢20層高的數據中心,總樓面約21.8萬平方呎。
另外,外資基金安祖高頓早於2015年以約7.8億元購入葵榮路30至34號「EDGE」後,已將其活化為商廈。而基金於去年9月曾向城規會申請重建成新式工廈,惟集團年初確定撤回該方案,並向會方申請以地積比率11.4倍,發展1幢22層高的數據中心,總樓面約31.3萬平方呎。
事實上,區內的工廈重建活躍。有消息透露,鄧成波家族近期以約4.33億元沽出葵涌永基路26至30號永昇工業大廈約9成業權,而接貨為凱龍瑞基金。該廈佔地約2.2萬平方呎,現為「工業」用途,地積比率上限為9.5倍,重建樓面面積約20.9萬平方呎,初步估計基金購入及集齊餘下業權後,將重建為工廈。上述工廈位於永基路26至30號,於1979年落成,樓齡約41年,屬於1幢樓高約12層的工業樓宇。

外資基金購物流地 作投資
疫情顛覆全球生態,市場對於物流業的需求大增,有見及此,政府近期推出物流用地,並已於上月批出予外資基金。
ESR以逾52億承接
葵涌西南部為發展多年的葵涌貨櫃碼頭,是亞洲主要轉運港,配套成熟,而政府早前已經物色該帶的一幅物流用地,以招標出售。該幅物流用地位於葵涌8號貨櫃碼頭旁,已於上月中以約52.57億元批出予外資基金ESR,每平方呎樓面地價約3,539元,成交價合乎市場預期。業界普遍估計,投得項目的ESR購入地皮後將作投資用,總投資額料逾100億元。
上述地盤面積約為59.5萬平方呎,指定作物流服務及公眾停車場用途,最高樓面總面積約149萬平方呎,以發展多層現代物流設施及公眾停車場。事實上,葵涌對上一幅推出的政府物流地,已經於2008年4月批出,當時由新創建 (00659) 以約6.48億元投得,每平方呎樓面地價僅933元。於14年間,物流用地的地價上升約2.8倍。

Interest high for URA's To Kwa Wan project
The Urban Renewal Authority said it has received a total of 31 expressions of interest from developers for the Wing Kwong Street and Sung On Street Development project in To Kwa Wan and will start receiving EOIs for a project in Kwun Tong today.
The market valuations of the To Kwa Wan project range from HK$2.65 billion to HK$3.62 billion, or about HK$9,500 to HK$13,000 per square foot.
Upon completion, the project will cover a total gross floor area of 25,884 square meters, providing about 560 flats.
Furthermore, the URA will invite interested developers to submit EOIs for the development of the Kwun Tong Town Centre Development Areas 4 & 5 Project today.
The project, which covers a site area of 25,595 sq m, will provide a maximum total gross floor area of 201,220 sq m upon completion.
In other news, Henderson Land Development (0012) has received more than 9,110 checks for One Innovale-Archway in Fan Ling, making the batch 48 times oversubscribed until yesterday.

CK Asset (1113) sold the last house at 90 Repulse Bay Road yesterday, which has an area of 5,347 sq ft, with lifts, five bedrooms, a 367 sq ft garden, for over HK$401 million, or about HK$75,000 per sq ft.
In other news, Wheelock Properties has sold 466 flats worth HK$7.6 billion in the first half.

Developers at Kai Tak runway site urge government to improve transport links as sale of new projects looms
Nine developers who own land on the former runway site last month formed a non-profit company to lobby the government on transport
Launch prices have been pressured after the government dropped its plan to build a monorail link at the site in 2020
Developers will face challenges in marketing new flats built on the runway site of Hong Kong’s former international airport as the area’s transport links and infrastructure remain limited, two years after the government scrapped a proposed HK$12 billion (US$1.53 billion) monorail link there, analysts say.
Nine developers who own land on the former runway site last month formed a non-profit company, Kai Tak Runway Private Development Company (KTRPD), to liaise with the government on improving the area’s accessibility. New projects are either slated for presale soon or are due for delivery as early as next year, so the matter is pressing.
“Today, the general impression is it’s inconvenient, with lots of people still unfamiliar with the new transport facilities there,” said Ricky Wong, managing director of Wheelock Properties, which is involved in a consortium that will kick off a sale at Miami Quay at the site soon.
The Miami Quay development will be the second residential project to be put on sale at the former runway. One Victoria development was launched in June 2021 and is scheduled for delivery as early as March 2023.
The non-profit company consists of Chinachem Group, China Overseas Land & Investment, Empire Group Holdings, Far East Consortium International, Henderson Land Development, K Wah International, New World Development, Sun Hung Kai Properties and Wheelock Properties.
The government sold 11 residential plots for a total HK$115.4 billion on the runway at the old airport site, before dropping the idea of building a monorail link in December 2020. The abandoned monorail plan involved linking Kowloon Bay station with the massive Kai Tak Development area, continuing on to Kwun Tong.
However, the plan was dropped after a detailed feasibility study found that it was unworkable. The government replaced it with a mix of traditional transport options, such as buses, minibuses, water taxis, travelators and walkways.
“We are also in discussions with the government to offer shuttle bus services to connect property projects to the nearest MTR station individually. This will reduce the government’s burden,” said Wheelock’s Wong, adding that the area will be transformed once all units are finished and transport links improved.
Connectivity is a major factor in determining the launch price of new projects as most buyers are prepared to pay a premium for a home that is convenient, said property consultants.
“The transportation facilities connecting the runway to the nearest MTR station are not the best now,” agent said. “But the unobstructed sea view could dilute the discount.”
The agent said that new flats to be built on the former runway may price at between HK$25,000 to HK$26,000 per square foot without the monorail link, about 15 per cent down from the HK$30,000 per sq ft expected if the monorail link had been built.
The agent noted that selling prices at The Grand Mayfair I project above Kam Sheung Road MTR station were more than 30 per cent higher than those at Novo Land, which is over 20 minutes walking distance from Siu Hong Station. The average launch prices for the Grand Mayfair were HK$17,608 per sq ft in April, while Novo Land’s were HK$13,188 per sq ft.
Property agent said that the supply of close to 10,000 new flats over the next three years on the old runway site, coupled with deepening economic headwinds could add to pricing pressures. Meanwhile, there are still around 1,500 units currently still for sale in the wider Kai Tak area, according to Dataelements.
“Builders [at Kai Tak] are unlikely to price aggressively,” property agent said.

中環新甲廈項目向來罕有供應,而長實 (01113) 旗下夏愨道和記大廈重建項目於明年落成,項目正式命名為長江集團中心二期 (Cheung Kong Center II),提供約55萬平方呎,料快將進行招租。集團指,項目位處中環核心地段,坐擁270度維港海景,視野廣闊;為香港近年罕有的全海景甲級寫字樓項目,預計於2023年落成。
物業樓高41層,總建築面積達55萬平方呎,集團指,將承襲長江集團中心標誌性的玻璃幕牆外貌和方正設計,為租戶提供靈活多變的實用空間。項目交通便捷,亦提供185個車位。長實集團主席李澤鉅日前表示,長江集團中心二期有望今年稍後時間招租。
提供185個車位
項目前身的和記大廈,於1974年落成,樓高23層,總樓面面積約50萬平方呎。2018年,長實落實重建計劃,並於2019年展開。事實上,當時和記大廈因設備相對舊,呎租較同區為低,如今進行重建,相信呎租可達同區超甲廈最高水平,料成指標之一。
中環新供應向來極少,明年則有兩項目出現,恒地 (00012) 旗下 The Henderson,提供約46.5萬平方呎樓面,該廈暫獲兩宗預租,包括佳士得承租共4層寫字樓,合共約5萬平方呎樓面,作為集團在港首個常設拍賣中心和藝廊,另近日該廈獲金融機構凱雷租用2萬平方呎樓面,市場人士估計呎租約130至140元。

代理行:50甲廈上月交投跌逾5成
受疫情及加息等因素打擊,甲廈市場交投備受壓力。據一間本地代理行發表的市場報告指出,商廈成交量連升3個月後再次回落,而五十大甲廈上月僅錄5宗買賣,較6月份的11宗挫逾5成。
租金按月跌1.6%
該行代理表示,商廈市場能否復甦,主要取決於能否順利通關,惟新政府上場一個月以來仍未公布與內地通關詳情,令投資者繼續持觀望態度。不過,政府近日宣布放寬入境檢疫安排,包括縮短抵港人士酒店檢疫期及推行「紅黃碼」,無疑是邁向全面恢復通關的好開始,相信可加強投資者對通關的信心,亦重新吸引海外投資者來港,為寫字樓市場帶來曙光。
此外,寫字樓租金走勢持續向下,甲廈租金按月跌1.6%,今年以來累挫4.7%。整體甲廈售價亦錄得輕微跌幅,按月回落0.1%,今年以來累積跌2.3%。空置率方面,甲廈空置率維持高企,7月份的整體甲廈空置率錄9.8%,與6月份數字相若。當中尖沙嘴區空置率雖然不是所有分區中最高,但有持續上升的趨勢,最新升至8.6%,創2020年6月有記錄以來新高。
空置率新報9.8%
近期矚目租務為恒基旗下中環 The Henderson 獲國際投資公司凱雷承租約兩萬方呎樓面,呎租約120元,月租約240萬,為上月最大宗的租務成交個案;此外,金源米業以1.59億購入灣仔新盤 Novo Jaffe 三層樓面,並獲大廈命名權及廣告位,而其中頂層單位呎價高見2.5萬,為項目呎價新高。

大鴻輝1.2億沽中環南華大廈全層 每呎造價2.91萬 創該廈呎價新高
近年轉型當發展商的大鴻輝,於疫市下頻沽售非核心物業,最新售出中環南華大廈中層全層,作價1.2億連租約易手,每呎造價約2.91萬,創該廈歷來呎價新高,買家享租金回報約兩厘水平;大鴻輝於今年以來連沽3項物業,套現約2.07億。
核心區商廈於疫市下罕錄大手買賣。大鴻輝業主席梁紹鴻指,售出中環雲咸街1號南華大廈 7樓全層,建築面積約4113方呎,以約1.2億連租約易手,平均呎價約29175元,他形容上述造價屬「疫市理想價」,亦以早前購入中環荷李活道全幢商住樓「大刁」相比,直言以1.8億買全幢、隨即以1.2億沽全層,足以反映投資老手本色。
梁紹鴻:屬疫市理想價
梁紹鴻亦為現今商廈市場「把脈」,他指出,中港兩地至今尚未通關,料整體市況仍然受壓,惟政府早前宣布將入境檢疫期縮減至「3+4」,反映當局有意逐步放寬相關措施,料通關指日可待,預測於今年11月有機會落實,屆時商廈市場將逐步回暖,故他對後市仍感樂觀。
連約回報2厘
據市場消息指出,梁紹鴻早於2007年以約2254.74萬購入,持貨15年帳面獲利9745.2萬,物業期間升值約4.3倍。上址現時由教育學院以每呎約49元租用,月租約201537元,以易手價計,料買家享租金回報約兩厘水平。
同時,市場消息盛傳,買家為上海商業總會,為同廈1至3樓業主,購入作自用用途,惟截稿前未能進一步證實。
據業內人士指出,上述呎價創該商廈歷來呎價新高水平,甚至比得上區內指標甲廈皇后大道中9號,實在令市場嘩然!
今年暫沽3物業套現逾2億
據代理行資料顯示,皇后大道中9號最近期成交為14樓3室,建築面積3290方呎,於今年6月以9500萬售出,呎價約28875元,故實在較是次買賣呎價略低;至於南華大廈近期買賣較疏落,對上一宗成交為該廈1007室,於2014年底以1527萬售出,以建築面積約736方呎計,呎價約20747元。
事實上,大鴻輝於今年以來頻頻沽貨,據本報統計資料顯示,大鴻輝分別於今年4月及5月,分別以5000萬及3700萬售出筲箕灣道兩鋪位,合共涉資8700萬,故計及上述南華大廈成交,大鴻輝於今年連沽旗下3項物業,套現約2.07億。

荃灣甲廈「沙咀道1號」 億京短期推
億京旗下荃灣「沙咀道1號」甲廈項目料月內推出,據代理流傳價單,每層樓面分間成20多伙,入場費約600餘萬元起,呎價約1萬餘元起。
億京早年購入沙咀道工廈項目,並重建成甲廈沙咀道1號,該廈料年內入伙。市場人士透露,發展商方面部署短期推售。
流傳價單 呎價逾萬元
據代理流傳價單,料先推出5至7樓、15至17樓6層樓面,而每層樓面分間成1至27號單位 (不設4、13、14及24號室),合共23單位,面積由543平方呎起,至約2,000餘平方呎。入場單位為5樓23號室,面積約543平方呎,定價約608萬元,呎價約1.12萬元,而同層單位,呎價約1萬餘元起,而最終定價,需由發展商進一步落實。
翻查資料,億京在2017年以約21.6億元購入的荃灣永南貨倉大廈全幢,呎價約4,350元。2020年集團以14.15億元補地價「工轉商」,每呎補地價約2,841元,物業位於荃灣青山公路503至515號及沙咀道1至9號,比鄰愉景新城,重建樓面約49.8萬平方呎。
同區新盤買賣方面,第一集團旗下荃灣大涌道18號國際企業中心3期近日錄成交,涉及3樓7至9室,總樓面約4,247平方呎,以4,520萬元售出,平均呎價約1.06萬。

大業街33號兩層招租 每呎叫租17元起
觀塘近年受惠於「起動東九龍」及活化工廈2.0等政策,發展一日千里,隨着不少工廈轉型作商廈後,傳統工業樓面供應因而遞減,尤其大樓面供應更見矜罕,個別行業如物流及倉儲行業對工廈需求殷切,因而帶動工廈租務市場有穩定增長,新近觀塘大業街33號兩層全層樓面招租,意向月租約23.97萬元起。
可一併或分開招租
有代理表示,位於觀塘大業街33號2樓及3樓正進行招租,面積分別約14,100平方呎及約14,500平方呎,意向呎租同約17元,可一併或分開出租,涉及月租約23.97萬元起。
備專用升降機 方便上落貨
大業街33號備有專用升降機,方便大型貨物上、落貨,需時甚短;停車場亦提供充足車位及卸貨台,對物流行業極具吸引力,另有獨立保安及更亭,安全及私隱度高。
據代理行成交顯示,觀塘區內工廈租務交投活躍,而成交又集中於中、小型單位身上,面積於2,000平方呎以下者最為市場受落,相比逾萬平方呎大單位,由於供應少,反而更為罕矜,參考市場近期面積較大的工廈租務成交,其中,鴻圖道78號高層單位,面積約6,510平方呎,月租約14.3萬元,平均呎租約22元,另外,觀塘工業中心第3座高層單位,面積約2,157平方呎,月租達3.35萬元,平均呎租16元。
該代理續稱,現代物流業發展獲政府大力支持,新近外資基金ESR以約52億元奪得葵涌貨櫃碼頭旁物流地皮,反映業界對工業相關行業的地皮需求殷切。再者,疫情下零售業發展出現新常態,網上銷售的營運模式令庫存的需要大為提高,因此推動倉儲及物流空間需求上升。而今番招租物業為東九龍區罕有大樓面單位,其配套設施適合各行各業承租,大廈外觀配以特色搶眼壁畫,相當亮麗。同時,該廈地理位置優勝,交通四通八達,對比區內相類似盤源,其叫價更見相宜,目前三湘九龍灣貨運中心其意向呎租大多都達每平方呎約24元,突顯是次招租不論質素或意向價亦相當吸引,料洽租反應會見熱烈。

石門新都廣場全層 叫價1.48億
沙田石門區由傳統工業區,轉型為新式商貿區,加上有鐵路貫通下,受歡迎程度大增,而新近有業主放盤新都廣場中層全層單位,連裝修,交吉,意向呎價不足8,000元。
近2萬呎交吉售
有代理表示,承業主委託放售石門安耀街2號新都廣場中層全層單位,面積約19,139平方呎,以交吉形式放售,意向價約1.48億元,每平方呎叫價約7,733元。放售為全層大面積單位,備多窗,擁開揚景觀,眺望山景,內籠同時備有寫字樓裝修,以市場上同類質素單位動輒每呎叫價逾萬元,此單位屬低水及極具投資價值。
新都廣場位於石門中心位置,坐擁港鐵屯門綫優勢,而大廈設有多層停車場,可提供158個私家車位,而周邊商舖林立,中外南北風味食肆一應俱全,配套齊全。而據EPRC經濟地產庫資料顯示,今年以來新都廣場暫錄4宗成交,市場最新錄高層20室,面積約922平方呎,成交價約737.6萬元,平均呎價約8,000元。
該代理指,傳統核心商業區的呎價屢創新高,政府積極開拓二綫商業區,而石門鄰近多個大型屋苑,加上在屯馬綫及東鐵過海綫的帶動下,大大加強與新界及九龍區的聯繫,為該區帶來大量流動人口及消費力,有利石門轉型為新興商貿區。此外,政府正積極就工業用地進行檢討,規劃署建議把沙田小瀝源約80.5萬平方呎的工業地改劃為住宅,料石門將受周邊帶動,升值潛力有增無減,吸引大量資金流入;再者新都廣場租金價格水平合理,空置率低及承租能力強,預料新買家購入後,回報率將會相當理想。

Super new Hutch House named
CK Asset (1113) said the redevelopment of the 1970s-era Hutchison House has been officially named Cheung Kong Center II and is expected to be completed next year.
The project, which started in 2019, will transform the building into a super Grade A office with sea views of Victoria Harbour.
The new 41-story tower will have a total floor area of 550,000 square feet, in addition to 185 car parking spaces.
The company expects the offices in the rebuilt tower to attract global companies, as the project is adjacent to the buildings of many international financial institutions like BOC Hong Kong (2388) and the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.

Flat buying frenzy in New Territories
Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) and Henderson Land Development (0012) together sold more than 320 flats at their projects in the New Territories yesterday as more units rolled out on the market.
SHKP began to sell the last 140 flats at phase 1A of Novo Land in Tuen Mun yesterday including 139 on price lists and one via tender and by 7pm only the tender flat remained.
Meanwhile, Henderson Land's second round of sales of 185 flats at One Innovale-Archway in Fan Ling - including 182 on price lists and three via tender - were sold out with one of the tender units fetching HK$12 million, a new high for the project.
A client has spent HK$15 million to purchase three flats with cloakrooms while a long-term investor spent HK$13.5 million to buy two units with two bedrooms and cloakrooms at One Innovale-Archway.
According to an agency, up to 30 percent of its customers are buying into One Innovale-Archway as an investment, and the rental rate for these units is expected to reach HK$45 per square foot with a yield of about 3 percent annually. The remaining 70 percent are buyers who bought flats for living. Most of them are young and optimistic about the development of the Fan Ling area.
Meanwhile, SHKP uploaded the sales brochure for phase 1B of Novo Land involving 800 flats.
Phase 1B consists of three residential blocks of 26, 22 and 26 floors and the flats range in size from 220 to 1,464 square feet.
Located at Siu Hong Area 54, Novo Land consists of six phases which will provide 4,585 flats in total.
Also in the primary market, Villa Lucca, the project that is jointly developed by Hysan Development (0014) and HKR International (0480) in Lo Fai Road, Tai Po, yesterday released the first round sales arrangement for 59 units to be invited for tender from August 18, after the unveiling show flats for prospective buyers.

Prices of homes near Hong Kong’s MTR stations, normally resilient, are falling as property slump deepens
The secondary housing market is sinking further as interest rate rises and a wave of emigration take a toll on demand
As many as 34 housing estates near railway stations have seen their prices fall between January and July, according to a property agency
Hong Kong’s secondary housing market is sinking further into the gloom as interest rate rises, competition from cheap new developments and a wave of emigration take a toll on demand, according to analysts.
A property agency expects its index which is a gauge of lived-in home prices, to fall as much as 1.9 per cent to 174 by mid-September.
It sank to 177.43 in the week ended July 31, back down at the level seen in March as the fifth wave of the coronavirus raged.
“Under the influence of interest rate hikes and emigration, the second-hand market has been seeing losses in transactions, and buyers have delayed their decisions to enter the market,” agent said.
Even developments close to railways, which tend to be more resilient, are not immune. As many as 34 such housing estates have seen their prices fall between January and July this year, according to the agency, which tracked 56 projects close to MTR stations.
“Transactions in the secondary market have shrunk significantly recently, mainly due to the inevitable interest rate hikes in Hong Kong and the developers’ frequent launches of new properties at low prices,” another agent said.
“Even the most popular properties along the railway lines have experienced declines in both price and transaction volume.”
Financial Secretary Paul Chan mo-po recently told the Post that commercial banks in the city will have no choice but to raise their prime rates, but are not likely to do so at the scale and pace of the Federal Reserve.
Tung Chung Crescent, by Tung Chung MTR station, experienced the biggest drop in prices this year, a decline of 21 per cent from January to HK$10,599 (US$1,350) per square foot in July. This was followed by Ultima, a project close to Ho Man Tin Station, and The Victoria Towers near Austin station, where prices sank 18 per cent and 13 per cent respectively.
Across the 56 developments with proximity to stations, there were only 319 second-hand deals last month, a 19-month low and a long way off the 870 transactions in the same period last year. The number of railway projects that saw no transactions during the month increased to three.
Homeowners across the board are suffering bigger losses when selling their flats. For example, Harbour Glory in North Point saw a flat measuring 1,595 square feet change hands last week at HK$52.5 million, a loss of HK$6 million, according to the agency.
A unit measuring 832 square feet at Fleur Pavilia in North Point went for HK$20 million, a loss of HK$2.36 million last week, according to another agency.
“The continuous correction in home prices has attracted buyers to hunt for bargains,” another agent said.
Valuations of lived-in homes also remained weak, according to the a valuation index which is a weekly gauge that tracks major banks’ valuations of used units in 133 housing estates compiled by a property agency.
It has recovered for the last two weeks after sinking to just 15.2 points, the lowest since March, in the week ended July 17. An index 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.
For instance, the value of a flat measuring 548 square feet at Kingswood Villas’ Locwood Court fell 4.9 per cent in one month to HK$5.85 million in early August, the lowest since February 2021, according to an online valuation by HSBC.
(South China Morning Post)中環荊威廣場全層1.1億連約沽 每呎2.5萬 高市價10% 租金回報1.8厘
疫市下核心區商廈交投仍然活躍,市場再錄逾億元大買賣,消息指,中環荊威廣場高層全層以1.1億連租約易手,每呎造價約2.5萬,高市價約10%,租金回報約1.8厘,原業主持貨15年帳面獲利6339萬,物業期間升值約1.36倍。
核心區商廈於疫市下頻錄大手買賣,市場消息透露,中環威靈頓街1號荊威廣場高層全層以約1.1億成交,以建築面積4397方呎計,呎價約25017元;據業內人士指出,上述成交價屬理想價,較市價稍高約10%,原業主於2007年底以約4660.82萬購入,以易手價計,持貨15年帳面獲利約6339.18萬,物業期間升值約1.36倍。
持貨15年升值1.36倍
據地產代理指出,上址以連租約易手,以市值呎租約37元計,月租收入約16.2萬,料買家享租金回報約1.8厘,儘管成交價較市價略高,惟因上址屬該商廈唯一全層放盤,加上位處高層,坐享開揚景致,故吸引買家以進取價購入,料作自用用途,此外,該乙廈現今僅餘兩伙放售盤,當中為較低樓層的全層單位,以每呎2.5萬放售,另一放售盤為低層單位,以每呎約2.4萬放售。
位處高層享開揚景致
據代理行資料顯示,該乙廈於近期成交較疏落,對上一宗成交為該廈9樓1至2室,建築面積1699方呎,於2020年5月以3200萬售出,呎價約18835元。
至於該廈另一成交為21樓全層,建築面4397方呎,於2019年1月以約1.18億售出,呎價約2.7萬。
該行代理表示,儘管受疫情及美國聯儲局連番大幅加息等利淡因素影響,商廈市場觀望氣氛籠罩,惟現今市場資金充仍充裕,中環亦為本港傳統商業核心區,為各大企業及商家「兵家必爭之地」,故即使以較進取價錢於區內「插旗」,於長綫而言仍然是物有所值,帶動市場於疫市下頻錄大手買賣。
事實上,中環區內頻錄大手商廈買賣,大鴻輝日前以1.2億沽出中環南華大廈中層全層,每呎造價約2.91萬,創該廈歷來呎價新高,買家為上海商業總會。

旭輝6.74億售炮台山項目60%予大股東
旭輝控股以總代價6.74億,出售旗下持有北角炮台山英皇道101號及111號項目的合營公司60%股權及銷售貸款,買家為大股東林中、林偉及林峰。
上述合營公司名為「旭輝地產202006」,是旭輝控股與宏安地產於2020年成立,各佔60%及40%權益,並於2020年斥資18.8億,收購英皇道101號及111號地段全數權益。該地段總佔地面積約12695方呎,計畫重建為商住項目,預計2026年完成。
擬重建為商住項目
另外,宏安地產牽頭發展的薄扶林道86A至86D號住宅項目,宏安行政總裁鄧灝康回覆查詢時表示,最近與地政總署達成補地價協議,涉及金額約6535萬,又透露項目總投資額約15億,部署明年第三季以現樓方式推售。
據了解,是次補價涉及放寬部分上蓋面積要求,並涉及樓面面積或地積比率的改動。該項目地盤面積約2.85萬方呎,2020年初已獲屋宇署批出建築圖則,並展開上蓋建築工程,將建7幢洋房,以可建總樓面約2.84萬方呎計,每方呎樓面補地價約2300元。

工商舖交投放緩 筍盤獲吸納
受多項因素影響,近日工商舖買賣稍為放緩,而市場出現個別筍盤,即獲投資者吸納。
據一間代理行資料顯示,7月份工商舖買賣僅錄得337宗成交,為過去7個月新低,與6月份444宗比較,則下調24%,而與去年同期比較亦下跌46%。7月份成交金額則錄得約48億元,較前月約79.11億元下跌39%,而與去年同期約147.09億元比較,跌幅達67%。在工商舖3個範疇中,以商廈表現最差,僅錄得44宗買賣成交,與6月相比下降了23%,為今年度第2新低,而涉及金額約4.01億元,較6月約10.02億元急跌近6成,跌幅較整體工商舖為高,反映寫字樓市場買賣交投最受影響。
海富中心銀主盤 1.93億易手
整體買賣淡靜,而個別業主大幅降價即獲承接。如港島甲廈金鐘海富中心早前有銀主盤出現,涉及2座13樓全層,面積約10,627平方呎,去年9月份淪為銀主盤,由接管人推出放售,當時每呎叫價高達2.9萬元。該層樓面新近以以1.93億元易手,呎價約18,161元,創該廈近5年來的呎價新低紀錄。原業主偉俊集團控股股東林清渠等,早於2004年10月以6,800萬元購入,18年帳面升值1.83倍。追溯對上1次成交,為海富中心一座低層03A室,面積2,625平方呎,2017年以近4,525萬元易手,呎價約1.7萬元。在2017、2018年高峰期呎價曾達3萬元。
新買家為湯臣集團,指出收購屬策略性長期投資,預期收購將提升物業投資組合,產生穩定經常性租金收入,又指適當時候可能將該物業用作為香港之總部。
另一幢指標甲廈皇后大道中9號亦錄低價成交,內房佳源集團 (02768) 以約9,500萬元沽中環皇后大道中9號細單位,涉及中層03室,面積3,290平方呎,呎價28,875元,屬低市價15%成交。佳源國際早於2013年以香港佳源集團有限公司名義,斥資約9,360萬元買入上址,持貨約9年,現轉手帳面獲利約140萬元,但若連代理佣金、釐印費 (約398萬元) 等費用計算,估計原業主實蝕近450萬元離場。
商舖方面,核心區地段錄低價成交,尖沙咀彌敦道111至181號栢麗購物大道D段地下7號舖連1樓,地舖面積651平方呎,1樓面積1,382平方呎,總樓面2,033平方呎,早前以約1.8億元放售,據悉最終僅以約為6,300萬元易手,低市價約4成,該舖現時由金行承租。
栢麗購物大道舖 低市價4成沽
分析指,由於預計息口即將上升,加上尚未完全通關,令投資市場表現仍一般,個別業主睇淡後市,願大幅降價放售物業。同時間,市場資金仍多,不少投資者一直部署入市,只待業主大幅減價,當個別物業明顯低市價1至2成放盤出現,即吸引投資者入市,反映市場資金仍充裕,日後若仍有「筍盤」出現,便容易獲吸納。

Admiralty Office Floor Sells at Five-Year Low Price in Slow Hong Kong Market
Hong Kong-listed developer Tomson Group is acquiring an office floor in Admiralty for HK$193 million ($25 million), clinching the asset at a unit price of HK$18,161 per square foot which is reportedly the lowest in five years amid muted market activity.
Known for its Tomson Riviera project in Shanghai’s Pudong district, Tomson said in a filing to the local bourse on Sunday that its tender for the 13th floor of the Admiralty Centre Tower II had been accepted, allowing it to pick up the 10,627 square foot (987 square metre) asset from receivers acting on behalf of electronic parts trader Wai Chun Group Holdings.
The floor in the 22-storey building atop the Admiralty MTR interchange had first been put on the market for a price equivalent to HK$29,000 per square foot late last year, before slashing the price for the grade A office asset to HK$20,000 early in 2022, according to a report by local financial daily HKET.
The Admiralty Centre Tower II floor has now found a buyer at 37 percent below its asking price from less than one year ago as average prices for grade A offices in Hong Kong have dropped by 31.1 percent from the market’s peak at the end-2018, according to a property agency. Office rents in Central are now 28.3 percent below their market peak in 2019, the agency said.
Prices Fall 49% Since 2019
The office floor sold at a price at the low end of market expectation as investors tend to offer lower bids for properties being sold by receivers and with Admiralty’s office investment market muted for the past year, according to an agent.
Smaller units in the 1980 vintage tower at 18 Harcourt Road have sold for higher prices this year with an 1,875 square foot office on the 17th floor finding a buyer at HK$25,493 per square foot in May, according to data compiled by another agency.
When compared to prices prior to Hong Kong’s social unrest in 2019 Hong Kong and the start of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the price for this latest deal was 49 percent less than the HK$29,924 per square foot fetched for a floor in the same building in April 2017, based on separate data from another local agency.
Admiralty Action
For Shanghai-based Thomson, which sources most of its profit from development of properties in mainland China and Macau, the strata office is an income-earning investment which could provide a future Hong Kong home for its business.
“It is expected that the acquisition will enhance the property investment portfolio of the group, generate stable recurring rental income and further strengthen the long-term development of the group in Hong Kong,” Tomson said. “The property may be used as the company’s headquarter in Hong Kong at an opportune time.”
The property generated HK$3.9 million in rental income last year, which was down 10 percent from the HK$4.35 million produced in 2020.
Just prior to conclusion of the tender, Wai Chun signed a three-year agreement to lease half of the floor, or 5,313.5 square feet at a monthly rate of HK$238,000, excluding other fees and charges. The agreement, which covers 1 November through 31 October 2025, also includes two car parking space leases for HK$5,000 per month.
Based on the HKEX filing, the strata office floor is currently held by Wai Chun’s lender, Industrial Bank Co Hong Kong Branch, for a December 2018 mortgage, with the trading firm having purchased the office floor in October 2004 for about HK$68 million.
Moving Closer to Future HQ
Tomson, which is currently based in the Wing On Centre tower in Sheung Wan, had announced late last month that it had leased a new office on the 17th floor of the Far East Finance Centre at 16 Harcourt Road, which is just a few steps from Admiralty Centre Tower II.
Its Admiralty acquisition adds to a series of discounted strata office deals in Hong Kong over the past year, including a HK$95 million purchase last month by an executive director of Cheung & Sons of unit at 9 Queen's Road Central from distressed mainland developer Jiayuan International Group.
Discounted prices and lease rates make Hong Kong’s office market attractive for investors looking to upgrade their workspace, an agent said, who expects the market to rebound during the remaining months of this year with the city’s core business district being a focus of activity.
“We have witnessed a sign of recovery from the downturn in the office market, and believe the positive net absorption will continue to improve in the second half of the year,” agent said. “Central will be the focus of market activities in the remaining part of the year.”

Developers hold price lines
Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has not raised prices for the latest batch of homes at Novo Land while Henderson Land Development (0012) limited hikes to about 1.5-2 percent for new flats at One Innovale-Archway.
That was despite overwhelming responses from prospective buyers when homeowners in the secondary market continued to reduce asking prices.
SHKP released its first price list for Novo Land's phase 1B, involving 160 flats at an average price of HK$13,998 per square foot and with a minimum price of HK$3.41 million after discounts. Sales could start as soon as next week.
The list includes 10 studios, 54 one bedroom, 65 two bedroom and 31 three bedroom flats. Areas range from 253 to 694 square feet.
SHKP also unveiled a show flat yesterday.
Meanwhile, Henderson Land has added the remaining 88 flats at One Innovale-Archway to its sale schedule with an average price of HK$14,932 per sq ft, which is slightly higher than in the previous sale. Then it was HK$14,842.
That makes a total of 101 homes to be sold in the new round at One Innovale-Archway on Sunday, including 13 that will be sold via tender.
The developer has also applied for presale consent for phase 2, comprising 400 flats.
Against this action, second-hand property owners were trying to attract buyers by reducing prices.
According to a property agency, nearly 120 second-hand property owners in Tsing Yi want to sell at discounts ranging from four to 16 percent.
Elsewhere, the Planning Department has not objected to a Chinachem plan to increase the plot ratio in converting a site originally for a warehouse to residential use in Tsuen Wan.
The site covered 35,586 sq ft originally, and Chinachem plans to construct two 17-story residential buildings with lobbies, clubhouses and car parks with a total floor area of about 89,666 sq ft. That raises the plot ratio from 2.1 to 2.52 times.
(The Standard)麒豐資本 看好下半年投資市場
指加息非大問題 留意優質豪宅
息口勢向上,市場普遍相信將影響樓市。麒豐資本認為,加息並非樓市升跌決定性因素。基金認為,市場資金多,疫情緩和加上通關在即,相信下半年投資市場仍向好,特別留意大樓面優質豪宅。
美國加息步伐甚急,香港亦加息在即,由於息口為投資物業關鍵因素之一,部分人相對睇淡後市。麒豐資本創辦合夥人暨投資總監洪英偉則指出,從歷史上看,息口並非樓市升跌關鍵因素,「香港樓市跌的原因從來不是因加息,例如97年、08年,均因外圍因素影響較大,涉及金融海嘯、歐債危機等,才令物業下跌,加息不是轉捩點。加息對心理影響較大,其實今年以來一直提及加息,政府有壓力測試,買家亦有預期,息口亦不會加至極高水平,故此對住宅樓市影響不大。」他指,過往幾年住宅由剛性需求支持,投資成分較低,無論加息與否,用家仍然會入市。
至於工商舖物業,向來由投資者主導,加息會影響回報率。洪英偉指,「在香港投資物業,不只看回報率,亦要睇升值潛力,只要投資氣氛好,加息不是大問題。買樓是可以抗通脹,反而恐怕加息令股市動盪,繼而投資氣氛受挫,但暫時未見。」
他分析,本港過往兩三年,受不同事件衝擊,工商舖物業已有明顯回調,下半年反而會吸引資金流入,「過去兩三年本港先後受社會運動及疫情衝擊,商廈及舖位租金較5年前跌3至4成,價格跌兩成比比皆是,最壞時間已過。如今每日數千宗確診,若在去年發生,港人會恐慌,但現已習以為常,並已打疫苗,疫情影響輕微,加上通關在即,下半年投資氣氛定好轉。」
投資市場另一關鍵因素為資金,他強調市場資金充裕,「香港投資者向來實力強,資金充足,例如我們的基金、其他發展商均等待入市。物業市場的資金不減反增,因為近兩三年股市動盪,很多人從股市、加密貨幣的資金,轉向物業市場,為抗通脹,追求穩健而投資物業。此外,北水一定繼續南下,支持大灣區發展。
舂磡角道54號 擬重建大屋
既然看好下半年市況,部署上,麒豐資本創辦合夥人暨行政總裁郭浩泉透露,基金會開始留意豪宅市場。他表示,近一年已收購舂磡角道54號PEARL VILLA項目8成業權,涉資約3億元,該廈共有6個單位,現只欠1伙,「將申請強拍或合作。預計年尾可望完成收購,將重建大屋,發展超豪宅項目。」他指出,大樓面優質豪宅,市場上非常缺乏,「過往發展商主力發展1,000至2,000呎豪宅,但5,000至6,000呎大屋非常缺少。舂磡角道54號1萬呎地盤,可以興建一間7,500呎大屋。」
麒豐資本過往主力投資工商舖,如今進攻豪宅市場,郭浩泉稱對豪宅有信心,因未來需求尚未反映,「疫情關係,內地客兩年無來港買豪宅,但近兩年本地客入市仍足以支撑豪宅價。未來愈來愈多內企來港上市,首要未必買寫字樓,而是舒適的豪宅。」
(經濟日報)
觀塘兩項目將應市 部署20億掃貨
下半年對市況樂觀,麒豐資本稱,準備斥20億元於市場掃貨。集團旗下觀塘兩項目,將進行放售及放租,其中商廈項目,意向以醫療或飲食作主題。
麒豐資本成立僅兩三年,首個項目為新蒲崗工廈東傲,去年尾正式推出,反應非常理想,暫已售出逾8成樓面,套現約20億元。頭炮打響名堂,洪英偉稱,未來會與不同夥伴合作,「未來發展有數個方向,第一是與舊樓業主合作,畢竟老牌業主持貨力很強,合作更加理想,如觀塘鴻圖道33號便是一例。第二與其他基金合作,現時我們營運上有一定經驗。我們已準備斥20億元資金,於本港掃貨。」
冀打造醫療美容商廈
短期部署方面,基金於觀塘鴻圖道發展「海傲」項目,分別涉及32號及33號,其中32號明年6月落成,為商廈項目。郭浩泉稱,明白商廈供應多,要為項目作出定位吸客,「首先,可考慮租給醫療、美容,觀塘較缺乏此類商廈。另外,飲食主題亦是出路,觀塘一直很缺乏餐廳,午飯時所有食肆要排長龍,故想向這兩方向招租,意向呎租約30餘元。」至於鴻圖道33號則屬工廈重建,單位面積約1,600平方呎起,享有海景,將作拆售。
投資機會到處有,郭浩泉透露,基金未來亦會發展英國市場,並指出基金一直有留意英國物業,並於當地設立公司,專員負責投資,「暫時私人已購入4項英國物業,我認為現時絕對是好時機,因英鎊累跌不少,而英國物業回報可達6厘,非常穩定。」

Fan Ling homes nearly sold out
Henderson Land Development (0012) has sold nearly all the 603 homes at One Innovale-Archway in Fan Ling in nine days since launching sales, leaving only 13 units of the whole phase 1 to be tendered.
The developer said the last 88 flats on the price list for phase 1 were sold out after the sales started in two hours yesterday, resulting in a total of 590 flats purchased.
The Sunday sales received 9,952 checks, making the lot 112 times oversubscribed.
Henderson Land's general manager of the first sales department Thomas Lam Tat-man said around 30 percent of buyers in this round purchased the homes for investment.
Lam added Henderson expected the pending pre-sale consent of phase 2 will be approved as early as the end of this month.
Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) released the second price list for phase 1B of its Novo Land in Tuen Mun, providing 80 flats at an average price per square foot of HK$14,198, roughly the same as the last one.
SHKP also said it will offer 188 units of phase 1B in Novo Land for sale on Wednesday, including 180 on the released price lists and eight by tender.
Phase 1B had received over 11,000 checks by 5 pm yesterday, making the batch 60 times oversubscribed.
The secondary market was unaffected by the hot primary market as a property agency said that 11 deals were recorded in the 10 major housing estates last weekend, one more than the previous session and marking the second weekend with no less than 10 transactions, partly boosted by the price reduction from some homeowners.
(The Standard)恒地1.73億沽中環商廈頂層
近期發展商沽銀座商廈反應不俗,消息指,恒地 (00012) 以1.73億元沽中環銀座式商廈頂層複式單位,呎價近3.5萬元。
安蘭街18號複式 呎價近3.5萬
消息指,恒地旗下中環銀座式商廈安蘭街18號錄成交,涉及物業頂層28及29樓複式單位,合共面積約4,896平方呎,連同天台,以1.73億元沽出,呎價近3.5萬元。單位現由餐廳租用,月租約44.1萬元,回報率約3.1厘。
翻查資料,商廈於2013年開售,當時正值投資氣氛高峰,開價每呎約4萬元起。按現時最頂層單位成交呎價計,已較高峰期明顯回落。據悉,目前發展商仍持有9層樓面收租。事實上,近日發展商推出銀座式商廈發售,反應不俗,如宏安7月中起拆售旺角彌敦道575號商廈,不足一個月沽出12層樓上舖及一個地舖,套現超過4億元。
另商廈租務方面,尖沙咀星光行中層12室,面積約920平方呎,以每呎約30元租出。

金朝陽32.1億沽銅鑼灣希雲大廈 樓面呎價1.62萬 中資發展商承接
疫市下大手買賣活躍,舊樓重建項目受捧,金朝陽沽售銅鑼灣希雲大廈舊樓,作價32.1億,平均樓面呎價1.62萬,買家為中資發展商,並以中洲置業呼聲高,料將重建商業項目。
疫市持續下,有中資發展商卻蓄勢增加土儲,金朝陽多年來成功併購的希雲大廈,剛以32.1億易手,市場消息透露,買家為中資發展商,並以中洲置業呼聲高,該舊樓佔地約13150方呎,以商業地積比15倍計算,可建總樓面約19.725萬方呎,平均樓面呎價1.62萬。
中洲未有回應事件
本報昨日就消息聯絡中洲置業,惟直至截稿時,未獲回覆。
知情人士則指出,中洲置業董事長及創辦人黃光苗,早於七年前購入火炭貨倉項目,透過補價重建住宅,去年賣樓銷情不俗,預計項目為他帶來約100億利潤,因此,今番趁市況低迷出手,再下一城奪取希雲大廈,出價進取。
他預期,當項目統一業權後,將重建銀座式商廈,吸納本地客及遊客;亦基於年前,希慎牽頭取得區內加路連山道地皮,料重建後,銅鑼灣核心區將進一步擴大,由於希雲大廈接近加路連山道,當區內新地標相繼落成,未來有一番新景象。
料重建商業項目
據了解,今番成交價進取,假如以重建住宅計算,地積比率只有9倍,可建樓面約11.835萬方呎,樓面呎價高達2.71萬。希雲大廈現時舊樓現址鋪位及住宅,總面積約為85928方呎,不論重建商廈或住宅,皆具有潛力。
金朝陽宣布,該公司沽售銅鑼灣希雲大廈,作價約32.08815億,新買家United Endeavors Limited,買方擔保人徐意,亦是買方最終實益擁有人,公告並指出,項目地積比以15倍計算,樓面呎價1.62萬。
帳面獲利逾10億
希雲大廈位於銅鑼灣禮頓道128至138號,希雲街2至28號,由4組物業組成,已經收購約87.8至100%業權,總收購成本約21.017億,金朝陽今番出售物業,獲利可觀,帳面獲利逾10億。
2015年,中洲置業勇猛從爪畦手上接手火炭項目,涉資逾10億,當時項目已成功闖關,獲批建住宅,中洲置業透過補地價35.8億,重建住宅星凱.堤岸,去年10月開售銷情不俗。
希雲大廈於2019年取得逾80%業權,其後不斷增持,並向土地審裁處申請強拍,成金朝陽歷來最大宗商住項目強拍申請,待土審批出項目強拍令。
另外,旗下完成收購的葵涌華星街13至17號南華冷房工業大廈,申請作活化工廈,預計總樓面逾21萬方呎。另外,目前,集團正推售旗下葵涌打磚坪街111號iCITY工廈。

九龍城舊樓獲批強拍底價4億
近年市區優質土地供應罕有,由財團併購的九龍城嘉林邊道28A至28B號,最新獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令,底價為4.0425億,對比去年12月申請強拍時市場估值約1.68911億,高出139%。
據土地審裁處文件顯示,是次獲批強拍令的九龍城嘉林邊道28A至28B號,現址為1幢樓高3層的舊樓,該廈早於1950年落成入伙,至今樓齡約72年。由去年申請時持有約28A號100%業權,而28B號則持有96.875%業權,平均持有約98.4375%業權。
可建總樓面約50350呎
根據判詞指出,申請人曾委託結構工程師對該舊樓進行結構評估,認為該建築物落成約72年,已達其設計壽命,加上維修情況欠佳,部分設施未能符合現代安全標準和法定要求,而且維修成本與重建成本不成比例,故重建發展是合適做法。再者申請人已採取一切合理步驟取得全部業權,故批出強拍令。
上述項目地盤面積10070方呎,現劃為「住宅 (乙類)」用途,若以地積比率5倍重建發展計,可建總樓面約50350方呎。該項目鄰近碧桂園發展新盤瓏碧,距離港鐵宋皇臺站約15至20分鐘步程,具重建價值。

Flats at Henderson’s One Innovale-Archway project sell out for second weekend despite rising interest rates
Developer sells all 88 units up for sale on the open market by noon
Project attracted younger buyers, investors betting on ‘Northern Metropolis’ concept, property agent says
Hong Kong’s Henderson Land Development sold all flats at its One Innovale-Archway project in Fanling for a second consecutive weekend on Sunday, showing that demand remained strong despite rising interest rates.
The developer sold all 88 units put up for sale on the open market as part of the project’s last batch by noon. Another 13 were put up for tender, and its result will not be known on Sunday.
The units sold measured 208 sq ft to 441 sq ft, with their discounted prices ranging from about HK$3.2 million (US$408,381) to about HK$6.3 million, or HK$13,068 to HK$16,472 per square foot.
“One of the main reasons for the strong sales was the attractive price levels, which are lower than the prices of lived-in homes nearby, so young homebuyers could easily afford them,” property agent said. Most of the project’s buyers on Sunday were youngsters from the New Territories.
“Additionally, the project also attracted investors, because many people are quite confident about the ‘Northern Metropolis’ concept,” the agent added.
Developers in Hong Kong have been offering new flats at higher discounts in an effort to boost sales at a time of rising interest rates and declining sales. The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 75 basis points for a second time in July to curb rising inflation. Following that, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority also raised its base lending rate by 75 basis points to 2.75 per cent.
More than 1,000 units have been sold in the primary market so far this month, the agent said. Stimulated by Henderson’s strategy of seeking volume over prices, more than 2,000 units were expected to be sold in the primary market throughout August, he added.
One Innovale-Archway has received an enthusiastic response in the first two rounds of sales this month. In its first round of sales last weekend, of the 318 units on sale 102 were sold within the first two hours, with just one left by 5pm, according to property agents.
On Wednesday, Henderson sold all 182 flats available for open sale in the second round by 7pm. Another three units were available for tender.
One Innovale-Archway’s first phase comprising 603 units is set to be completed in March next year. The project will be developed in three phases with a total of 1,600 units.
Most analysts have forecast that Hong Kong’s commercial banks will raise the prime rate in September, but some expect a rate increase to come this month, as a key indicator of bank liquidity continues to fall, according to a poll conducted by the Post earlier this month.
In response to concerns about property prices declining as a result of the interest rates hikes, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said in an interview last month that it was inevitable that Hong Kong would raise interest rates in the future. But this was unlikely to trigger a property market crisis similar to that in 1998 because of sufficient bank liquidity.
(South China Morning Post)中金租環球貿易廣場 (ICC)五萬呎擴充 憧憬寬通關
今年最大手擴張租務 德意志棄租樓面獲承接
本港推出「3+4」檢疫安排,市場憧憬通關措施可獲放寬,中資機構趁機擴充。中資中金公司 (03908) 租用九龍站環球貿易廣場 (ICC) 高層一層半樓面,涉約5萬平方呎,呎租約75元,為今年市場上錄得最大手擴充業務個案。
該批樓面原由德意志銀行租用,去年棄租;而另一層棄租樓面,由內地飛機租賃公司瑞禾航空資本租用作擴充。
九龍站指標超甲廈環球貿易廣場,錄得一宗大手租務,涉及55樓逾半層樓面、以及56樓全層,總面積約5萬平方呎,以每平方呎約75元租出。按該廈高層單位高峰呎租達100元計,如今租金水平已回調約25%。
呎租75元 較高峰低25%
新租客為中資金融機構中金公司,機構成立於1995年,現為內地最大投資銀行之一,業務包括資產、財富管理,而主要業務為協助公司集資上市、包銷等。過去兩年,多間內企來港IPO上市,令該行生意提升。
業界人士預計,香港下半年將有3至4隻集資過100億港元的超大型新股上市,涉及中概股回歸,中金公司業務料進一步擴大,有需要租用更多樓面。事實上,今年整體甲廈租務大手成交,幾乎全為搬遷個案,是次屬今年最大手擴充樓面個案。
中金公司為過去1年,市場擴充最積極的金融機構,去年澳洲基金麥格理棄租中環國際金融中心一期5.3萬平方呎樓面,而一直設總部於國際金融中心一期的中金公司,即承租該批樓面,連同集團原租用的7萬平方呎續租,合共涉及約12萬平方呎,成為該廈最大租戶。若連同是次租用環球貿易廣場,1年內便新租10萬平方呎超甲廈樓面,屬疫情以來極罕見金融機構擴充情況。
瑞禾航空資本 中環搬遷擴充
環球貿易廣場同時錄得另一宗中資機構租務,涉及物業高層大半層樓面,約2.8萬平方呎,以每呎約75元租出。新租客為瑞禾航空資本,該機構主要業務為飛機租賃,以及資產管理等,並獲平安集團及日本瑞穗銀行等大型機構投資,總部設於香港。公司目前租用中環國際金融中心一期低層單位,涉及約4,000多平方呎,如今搬至環球貿易廣場,作大幅擴充。
翻查資料,是次錄得兩宗中資機構擴充個案,樓面均原由德意志銀行租用,該銀行早年曾租用環球貿易廣場 12層樓面,其後有所縮減,是次涉及3層樓面,德意志銀行曾尋求頂租,最終合約完結而遷出。
疫情衝擊下,甲廈空置率持續上升,而租金亦回調,不過租金跌勢已喘定。據一間外資代理行資料顯示,目前全港甲廈呎租平均為55.1元,今年跌幅約1.8%,而中環最超甲廈呎租為111.6元,年內跌幅約2.7%,相信因2019及2020年租金已作大幅調整後,近一年多租金跌幅在收窄。
另一代理認為,「3+4」措施下,相信商務活動可增加,惟整體中資及歐美機構,尚未出現大幅擴充情況。該代理預計,今年整體租金仍相對平穩,或年尾輕微回升。

新供應Vs新需求 租金料見底難升
本港檢疫措施進一步放寬,商廈新需求可望受帶動。但同時間,大批商廈新供應,料抵銷需求上升因素,令租金觸底後仍反彈乏力。
長達兩年多疫情,在物業市場上,商廈可算是在各地產類別中首當其衝,因商廈租務需求來自內地及歐美機構,而嚴謹的入境措施下,歐美及內地機構,實在難以來港進行業務考察,新需求極為疲弱,甚至有個別機構,選擇暫時遷出香港。
現約千萬呎甲廈樓面待租
擴充及新來港開辦公室減少,今年大手商廈租務絕大部分為搬遷,如最大手的中信銀行預租太古坊二座15萬平方呎樓面,屬搬遷個案,並未有樓面上擴充,因此空置率持續向上。
直至近日,本港終於放寬海外入境隔離政策,推出「3+4」措施,普遍相信現時朝向放寬措施,直至完全與海外及內地通關,故相信商務往來將會回升,新需求可望重新出現,對商廈市道是正面消息。
租務預期有所增加,理應可令租金從低位回升。不過,目前商廈市場另一大問題,是空置率偏高,特別正值今明兩年為商廈供應高峰期。
據統計,現時市面上約有千萬平方呎甲廈樓面待租,而今年將有約400萬平方呎樓面落成,換言之要消化大批樓面需時,而業主亦會以較相宜租金吸客,故租金上升亦較為乏力,料見底並在低位橫行,直至全面通關,同時整體環球經濟前景轉理想,租金才出現明顯上升動力。

另一商業區港島東,亦錄得全層租務成交,會計公司租用新世界 (00017) 旗下北角 K11 ATELIER King's Road 作辦公室升級。
會計諮詢服務公司升級
市場消息指,北角英皇道 K11 ATELIER King's Road 錄租務成交,涉及物業8樓全層,面積約2萬平方呎,以每呎約40元租出,屬市價水平。
據了解,新租客為天職香港 (Baker Tilly),為本地會計諮詢服務公司,該機構目前租用同區甲廈 Foyer (英皇道625號),樓面同約2萬平方呎。相信該公司有見同區租金有所回調,搬至質素較新的 K11 ATELIER King's Road,作為辦公室升級。
K11 ATELIER King's Road 於2019年尾落成,總樓面約44萬平方呎,近期相繼吸引同區搬遷客,如上月設計顧問公司Leigh & Orange Architects租用該廈中高層全層,該租客原租用鰂魚涌太古坊多盛大廈。由於目前整體甲廈新需求疲弱,樓齡較新的甲廈項目因設備理想,成功吸引公司搬遷。
軒尼詩道28號 呎租65元
商廈租務方面,消息指,灣仔軒尼詩道28號低層01室,面積約1,330平方呎,以每呎約65元租出。另銅鑼灣廣場二期高層06室,面積約1,030平方呎,成交呎租約38元。

ESR夥拍華懋發展葵涌物流項目
上月以約52.57億投得葵涌物流地的外資基金ESR,昨日公布引入華懋作合作夥伴,以合營模式發展該物流項目,ESR旗下全資附屬公司將持有項目51%權益,至於華懋旗下兩家公司分別持有項目30%及19%,合共佔項目49%權益,項目料於2027年落成。
蔡宏興:物流凍倉需求大
華懋集團執行董事兼行政總裁蔡宏興昨日接受本報查詢時回覆指,本港對物流空間及凍倉儲存需求大,十分高興有機會和ESR合作拓展新經濟資產投資,令集團業務多元化,項目位於葵涌美青路和貨櫃碼頭南路交匯處,是物流產業中心位置,潛力無限。
料2027年落成
ESR執行董事、聯合創始人兼聯席首席執行官沈晉初及ESR執行董事、聯合創始人兼聯席首席執行官Stuart Gibson指,項目存在增值空間,將打造成現代化先進凍倉物流項目;本港物流業前景樂觀,預計今年第二季本港物流空置率約1.4%,屬2014年以來新低。

強拍申請估值逾百億 2年新高 土地審裁處今年暫錄16宗 追平去年紀錄
近月樓市回軟,財團併購舊樓申請強拍步伐明顯加快;據土地審裁處資料,今年迄今接獲16宗強拍申請個案,已追平去年全年16宗個案;而今年期內涉及物業總市場估值約114.42億,創近2年新高紀錄。
近年住宅土地供應漸減少,不少發展商加快舊樓併購步伐,藉以增加土地儲備;據土地審裁處資料,今年迄今接獲16宗強拍申請個案,已追平去年全年16宗個案;今年期內涉及物業總市場估值約114.42億,創近2年新高紀錄,而去年全年的物業總市場估值約37.7億。
總估值共涉逾114億
上述強拍申請個案市場估值金額介乎約1540萬至45.05億,當中有3宗是逾10億個案,估值最高為今年5月底、由新世界申請強拍的銅鑼灣波斯富街一系列舊樓群,當時市場估值約45.05億,若單以強拍申請金額計屬歷來銀碼新高紀錄,更打破2018年同樣由該公司申請強拍的北角皇都戲院大廈、當時強拍申請時市場估值約31.17億的舊紀錄,並多出44.5%。
資料顯示,上述舊樓群橫跨波斯富街、利園山道及羅素街等街道,共涉3個地盤,新世界持有80.09%至90.32%業權。該項目坐落銅鑼灣核心一綫購物地段,鄰近希慎廣場及時代廣場,極具重建價值;地盤面積約1.98萬方呎,若以地積比率15倍重建發展,預料可建一個總樓面達29.75萬方呎的商業項目。
而今年迄今錄16宗強拍申請,當中有4宗申請於第1季度錄得,政府於4月公布放寬社交距離措施後,第2季強拍申請個案隨即急升,次季共錄9宗強拍申請個案,是目前暫時最多申請的季度,至於今季則暫錄3宗申請。
若以區域劃分,有9宗來自港島區,其中鴨脷洲佔4宗以單一地區計佔最多,灣仔亦有2宗,而黃竹坑、銅鑼灣及鰂魚涌則各有1宗;九龍區亦有6宗,來自尖沙嘴、佐敦、觀塘及油塘等地;餘下1宗則來自葵涌區。
港島共佔9宗
而今年提出申請的已知財團,不乏本港大型發展商,如會德豐地產、太古地產、新世界等,亦有中小型發展商亦涉足該市場,如宏安地產、永倫集團及有關人士、樂風集團等;而內房方面僅有萬科香港。
有測量師表示,今年樓市依然反覆向下,除4月差估署樓價指數錄得上升外,其餘時間都是錄得跌幅,加上美國加息持續,令樓市倍添壓力,有不少舊樓業主叫價明顯軟化,吸引財團加快收購;另一方面,發展商並不會因樓市下跌而暫緩併購步伐,反而會加快收購,以集齊8成業權或以上,藉以申請強拍,均令今年首8個月強拍申請個案較去年增加。
另一測量師指出,近年市區土地供應短缺,今年至今強拍宗數已追平去年全年紀錄。另外,零售業為疫情下的重災區,旺區的商鋪業主願減價出售,亦令財團易於收購商鋪物業。

Hong Kong developers sweeten financing terms for luxury homes after deals tumble in July
Deals for lived-in homes worth HK$12 million to HK$20 million recorded a 45 per cent drop last month
More aggressive financing plans can be expected if market sentiment does not improve, property agent said
Hong Kong’s property developers are extending favourable finance terms to luxury home deals, after big-ticket sales declined by up to almost half in July.
The number of transactions for lived-in homes worth HK$12 million (US$1.5 million) to HK$20 million dropped last month with just 181 deals completed, a 45 per cent drop from June, according to analysis of Land Registry data by a property agency. The sales of homes costing between HK$20.01 million and HK$50 million dropped by 33 per cent to 71 deals.
“Home sales have been dominated by end users who have bought flats at between HK$4 million and HK$6 million. Sales of luxury homes will continue to retreat this month,” an agent said. Homebuyers will be more cautious when investing in bigger homes, because of the higher borrowing costs involved, the agent added.
Demand for such property is driven by deep-pocketed investors, who will stay away if the market sentiment is not right. A slowdown in Hong Kong’s economy is behind the current down trend. The city’s property sector was already reeling from the impact of 2019’s anti-government protests and the outbreak of Covid-19, which has been affecting business since early 2020. The economy then contracted 4 per cent in the first quarter of this year because of its anti-pandemic measures during the fifth wave of coronavirus infections.
Developers have also been pricing new projects competitively after the total value of housing transactions declined by a quarter in July amid an uptrend in the city’s interest-rate cycle.
“In the absence of investment demand, luxury homes in this price category are facing the biggest pressure. Upgrades to bigger homes from 1,000 to 2,000 sq ft have also been limited,” another agent said.
“Developers have to offer different kinds of schemes to boost sales. They can provide plans that allow buyers to defer their mortgage repayments, as Hong Kong developers have strong financial positions,” the agent said. “More aggressive financing plans are expected to be launched if the overall market sentiment does not improve.”
HKR International, for instance, will offer 57 units and two villas at Villa Lucca, a luxury residential project in Tai Po that it has developed with Hysan Development, for tender on Thursday. The developers, according to the tender document, will offer three-year mortgage loans through a local financial institution of up to 85 per cent.
They will also allow buyers to defer the repayment of mortgage loans of 85 per cent of a flat’s value plus interest to the third year.
The 57 units on offer range in size from 1,078 sq ft to 2,344 sq ft, while the villas range in size from 3,245 sq ft to 3,322 sq ft. The project, which will be completed in June next year, will have 262 units, villas and houses.
Of these, 160 standard units will have sizes ranging from 1,078 sq ft to 2,526 sq ft and 66 special units will have sizes ranging from 1,010 sq ft to 3,760 sq ft. Thirty-six villas will come in sizes ranging from 3,245 sq ft to 5,341 sq ft, while two houses will range in size from 6,268 sq ft to 8,030 sq ft.
Elsewhere, Li Ka-shing’s CK Asset Holdings said it would offer buyers three-year mortgage loans of up to 90 per cent of a flat’s value without requiring proof of income for the remaining units at El Futuro, its luxury project in Kau To Shan. The project has obtained an occupation permit.
Buyers will also be allowed to defer the 90 per cent loans, including interest and principal, for 36 months. A 1,053 sq ft unit at El Futuro is being offered for HK$16.99 million, or HK$16,135 per square foot after factoring in a 19 per cent discount. CK Asset said more than 150 units at the 266-unit project had been sold for more than HK$2.2 billion.
Such projects are targeting well-off clients from both Hong Kong and mainland China, a mortgage broker said. The favourable financing schemes represent “another option in case the rich have cash-flow issues”, the broker added.
Other developers are, however, taking the opposite approach. The V Group, for instance, plans to offer its deluxe project on 20 Peak Road at a target price of about HK$100,000 per square foot. Ranging from 3,722 sq ft to 4,740 sq ft, each house comes with its own swimming pool, a private lift and four to five en suite bedrooms each.
“It is an optimal time to release the Peak Road project,” Vivien Chan, the founder and chairwoman of The V Group, said earlier this month.
(South China Morning Post)美國銀行中心呎租48元跌18% 律師樓續租2年
受疫情等因素打擊,核心區甲廈租金備受壓力。消息指,中環美國銀行中心高層單位,獲律師行以每呎約48元續租兩年,較舊租金下跌約18%,屬貼市價水平,業主享租金回報逾6厘水平;據業內人士分析指,疫市下甲廈租賃需求持續萎縮,加上市場正值供應高峰期,料整體租金持續受壓。
涉及面積3778方呎
核心區甲廈罕現減價續租個案。市場消息指出,中環夏愨道12號美國銀行中心高層1至2號室,建築面積3778方呎,以48元獲律師行續租,月租約181344元,為期兩年,上址舊租金為每呎59元,故最新租金較舊租金下跌約18%。
單位望海景兼對正電梯
據代理指,上址最新租金屬市價水平,該單位高層望海景,對正電梯位,屬該廈優質單位,1至2室已打通多年,屬該廈較罕有相連單位供應,早於2009年以約3249.08萬購入作長綫收租用途,料回報約6.69厘,上址於高峰期呎租高達約70元,故續租租金較高峰期回落逾3成,反映甲廈租金受壓。
有代理指,受疫情打擊、加上市場正值供應高峰期,令核心區甲廈租金持續受壓,能否復甦取決於能否順利通關。不過,政府早前宣布放寬入境檢疫安排,縮短抵港人士酒店檢疫期及推行「紅黃碼」,無疑是邁向全面恢復通關好開始,為寫字樓市場帶來曙光。

屋宇署今年6月批出20份建築圖則,恒地 (00012) 有兩個項目獲批,包括大埔舊墟直街美新里3號項目,最新獲批建1幢21層高的商住項目連住宅康樂設施,總樓面涉約4.85萬平方呎,其中住宅樓面佔約4.14萬平方呎。
上述項目於去年9月曾獲署方批准興建1幢樓高17層的商住大廈,當時的總樓面約4.32萬平方呎,即最新獲批方案的總樓面較舊方案高出逾5,000平方呎左右,並加入住客康樂設施。

銅鑼灣商業區南延 10項目待發展
銅鑼灣近年有不少收購重建,當中禮頓道128至138號希雲大廈日前獲收購後,有機會重建成為商業項目,聯同加路連山道項目,進一步將銅鑼灣商業區向南面伸延。
粗略估算,目前銅鑼灣區內至少有10個商業項目,合共提供逾285萬平方呎樓面,除了加路連山道商業地外,其餘9個均屬舊樓或者酒店項目重建,大部分更由舊樓併購而成。
現時銅鑼灣商業區由北面的告士打道開始,去到南面的利園山區,電車路軒尼詩道兩旁更為繁華的零售區域,近10多年焦點開始轉移至南面,當中機電工程署總部遷出後,騰出了加路連山道大型商業地,造就銅鑼灣向南面擴展的契機。
加路連山地 增希慎利園山版圖
作為商業用地的加路連山道用地,於去年5月由希慎興業 (00014) 夥華懋以約197.78億元投得,將會興建3座16至24層高 (另設5層地庫) 的商廈,基座屬於商場、社區設施及停車場,總樓面約109.8萬平方呎。擁有利園山多幢商廈收租的希慎,在區內經營多年,早在去年初已經獲准在區內興建5條天橋及有蓋行人路貫穿旗下利園山的商業王國,包括上述的加路連山道地盤。
與此同時,位於禮頓道、加路連山道及希雲道交界的多幢舊樓,多年來亦獲財團收購,日前位於禮頓道128至138號、希雲街2至30號希雲大廈,經金朝陽 (00878) 收購後,便公布以約32.09億元沽出。該項目屬於兩面單邊地盤,鄰近以住宅、學校及醫院等社區設施為主,但隨着加路連山道商業地落成後,銅鑼灣商業版圖將進一步南擴,連帶動禮頓道一帶商業潛力。
希雲大廈佔地約1.32萬平方呎,屬於「其他指定 (混合用途)」用途,可以住宅或商業,又或者申請作混合兩者發展,若果以商業地積比率最高15倍計算,可建樓面約19.8萬平方呎,每呎樓面地價約1.62萬元。據金朝陽指,新買方為United Endeavor,徐意為最終實益擁有人,但未有交代其背景。市場有傳新買家具中資背景。
另外,利園山道5至27號、波斯富街54至76號,以及羅素街60號的舊樓群,近年由新世界 (00017) 所收購,目前正在申請強拍以統一業權,佔地約2萬平方呎,現時已經屬於「商業」規劃用途,若果以最高地積比率15倍發展,可建樓面將達30萬平方呎,預計將會較適合作銀座式商廈,或者基座為商場、樓上為寫字樓的綜合式商廈發展。

3,000 homes get go signal
The Buildings Department yesterday reported that it had approved 20 sets of building plans in June involving more than 3,000 small and medium-sized flats.
Of the approved plans, 16 were for apartment and apartment/commercial developments, with six on Hong Kong Island, three in Kowloon and 11 in the New Territories.
Consent was given for work to start on 16 building projects among the 20 plans, which when completed will provide 131,448 square meters of gross floor area for domestic use involving 3,094 homes plus 62,679 sq m of gross floor area for non-domestic use.
The largest of these is a residential project in the Tai Po Road-Tai Po Kau area, which is intended to be for multi-level flats and limited-height blocks of homes with a total floor area of around 95,090 square feet.
Two eight- and nine-floor buildings, five three-story blocks and a four-floor family dwelling with a basement are envisaged for the project.
And the building where the late Hong Kong singer and actress Anita Mui Yim-fong's home is located, Henredon Court at Shouson Hill, has been approved for redevelopment into a three-floor residential building involving a total floor area of 57,700 sq ft.
Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has meanwhile received 12,887 checks for its first round of sales at Novo Land's phase 1B, making the batch more than 70 times oversubscribed.
And Henderson Land (0012) announced it will be selling 32 units at The Henley I in East Kai Tak on Saturday, with the lowest price at HK$24,747 per sq ft.
Elsewhere, a luxury harbor-view five-room home at 21 Borrett Road in Mid-Levels has been rented at about HK$230,000 per month while a harbor-view duplex at Marinella in Aberdeen has gone for rental at HK$45,000 monthly.
Meanwhile, the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong Interbank offered rate rose to 1.87446 percent, the highest since March 2020.

URA’s Kwun Tong town centre redevelopment tender likely to draw muted response amid bleak economic outlook, analysts say
Only three to four bids can be expected from top developers because of the ‘large and long-term investment’, a surveyor said
Market observers expect the site to fetch between HK$18 billion and HK$20 billion, compared with earlier estimates of as much as HK$26 billion
The upcoming tender for the last phase of Kwun Tong town centre’s mega redevelopment will test the market’s resilience amid a weakening economy and high office vacancy rates in the area, market observers say.
The Kwun Tong Town Centre Project, which aims to turn the old district into a “small Taikoo Shing”, is the Urban Renewal Authority’s largest redevelopment project to date. The entire project occupies a site area of more than 500,000 sq ft spread over five plots and has been undertaken in phases since 2007. Taikoo Shing is Swire Group’s development in Quarry Bay, which includes flats, offices, a hotel and shopping centre.
Following the withdrawal of tenders for three commercial sites in the nearby Kai Tak Development area in 2019 and 2020, property consultants said they do not expect the Kwun Tong tender to draw many bids.
Only three to four bids can be expected from top developers because of the “large and long-term investment”, a surveyor said. “The market is no longer normal since the outbreak of Covid-19.”
Last week, the URA asked developers and consortiums to formally show their interest in undertaking the Kwun Tong Town Centre Development Areas 4 and 5 Project. The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is September 7.
The current project covers an area of 25,595 square metres (275,502 sq ft). Upon completion, it will provide a maximum total gross floor area of 201,220 square metres.
The development proposal includes an egg-shaped building, a 60-storey commercial tower and a smaller building, according to the URA’s application to the Town Planning Board in July. The project will also include community facilities and a large open space.
The surveyor said that they have expected that Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), which owns the APM shopping centre in Kwun Tong, and CK Asset Holdings to go it alone, while Henderson Land Development could be part of a consortium.
SHKP and Henderson declined to comment. CK Asset and Sino Land did not reply to requests for comment.
Sino Land was involved in the previous phases of the redevelopment, which included the Park Metropolitan residential project completed in 2014 and the Grand Central project in 2020.
The surveyor cuts the valuation for the site by nearly 20 per cent to HK$20 billion (US$2.5 billion), or HK$9,500 per square foot, saying “developers are conservative at the moment”. He previously estimated the plot to fetch between HK$22.7 billion and HK$26 billion.
The outlook for the Hong Kong’s economy does not look too bright. Last week, the government revised its full-year growth forecast from 1 to 2 per cent growth to between 0.5 per cent growth and 0.5 per cent contraction amid a worsening external trade environment. The revised estimates came after the gross domestic product shrank by 1.3 per cent year on year in the second quarter and 3.9 per cent in the first quarter.
This was preceded by a rate increase by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), which raised borrowing costs to 2.75 per cent, the highest since 2019. The HKMA’s chief executive Eddie Yue Wai-man warned of more interest rate increases in the coming months.
Another surveyor said “only the top-notch local developers would consider such a huge commercial project”.
The current vacancy rate of commercial buildings in East Kowloon, at 14 to 15 per cent, is the highest in Hong Kong, the surveyor said. More projects are still to be launched, the surveyor added.
The surveyor estimates that the site to fetch HK$8,500 per square foot, which translates to HK$18.4 billion.
The URA has initiated a pilot arrangement of “floating planning parameters” for the tender, taking “into consideration the uncertainties brought by the ongoing pandemic and the latest market circumstances”.
Under the arrangement, the total gross floor area will remain unchanged, while giving flexibility to the successful developer or consortium to determine the actual gross floor area within specified ranges for offices, hotels and other commercial uses for the commercial portion.
Another stipulation calls for a minimum of 65,000 square metres of commercial gross floor area to be sited at lower levels of the development to maintain its character of a “town centre”. The project is tentatively slated for completion in phases from 2028 to 2032.
The surveyor said that the URA introduced the floating parameter arrangement as it expects the project to carry certain risks given the backdrop of rising interest rates. The weakening economy is an added concern.
“The changes are due to the uncertainty surrounding the hotel and retail sectors. That is [why] the URA is leaving it to the developer whether to include a hotel in the new development,” the surveyor said. “Similarly, the developer could also decide to reduce the floor area allocated to the retail portion and [include] more office space.”
(South China Morning Post)信德中心西座中層呎租50元跌31% 交吉1個月租出 低市價10%
受疫情等因素打擊,商廈市場陰霾密布,租金持續下滑。消息指,上環信德中心西座中層海景優質戶,於交吉僅約一個月,以每呎約50元租出,低市價約一成,較租金急挫約31%,據業內人士指出,中港兩地至今尚未通關,甲廈需求持續疲弱,加上市場正值供應高峰期,料甲廈租金持續調整。
甲廈租金急下滑,據市場消息透露,上環信德中心西座中層9室,建築面積約1391方呎,新以每呎約50元租出,月租約69550元。據地產代理指出,上址坐享開揚維港海景、並附設雅致裝修,屬甲廈優質單位,上一手租金為每呎73元,租戶於本月初租約屆滿遷出,故單位交吉僅一個迅即租出,惟最新租金較舊租急挫約31.5%。
屬「沙士貨」物業
代理亦指出,即使該甲廈近期呎租曾跌穿40元關口,惟該類單位主要外望山景,與上址質素明顯有別,上址同類單位以每呎55元至60元放租,故上述租金較市價低約一成,反映甲廈租務市場仍然疲弱。此外,上址業主早於2003年購入上址,當時因「沙士」肆虐,市場正值低潮期,當時購入價僅438萬,以最新租金計,租金回報相當不俗。
屬海景優質戶
有代理分析指,受疫情打擊、加上市場正值供應高峰期,令核心區甲廈租金持續受壓,能否復甦取決於能否順利通關。不過,政府早前宣布放寬入境檢疫安排,縮短抵港人士酒店檢疫期及推行「紅黃碼」,是邁向全面通關好開始,為寫字樓市場帶來曙光。
上環信德中心屬本港指標甲廈之一,惟近期該廈頻錄租金下滑個案。資料顯示,信德中心西座中層4室,建築面積約1440方呎,於上月以每呎36元租出,月租約51840元。據地產代理指出,上址早前為自用物業,業主於2015年以3024萬購入,平均呎價約2.1萬,以最新租金計,租金回報約2厘水平。 據代理行資料顯示,該甲廈近期頻錄承租個案,其中,最近期個案為該廈低層8B室,建築面積615方呎,早前以每呎約52元租出,月租約31980元。
該甲廈對上低位租金需追溯至2020年10月,為該廈西座中層3室,建築面積1354方呎,當時以每呎約30元租出,月租約40620元。

Growing glut of new prime Hong Kong office space could further depress rents as ‘new normal’ sets in, analysts say
With 2.8 million sq ft of new prime space hitting the market this year, supply will reach a level not seen since 2008, consultancy says
Major lease signings, such as at Swire Properties’ Two Taikoo Place in Quarry Bay, are helping some developers weather the storm
Hong Kong’s supply of new prime office space is at a 24-year high, and rents are likely to drop by as much as 5 per cent this year as the market heads for a “new normal” with rents as much as 30 per cent below a 2019 peak, according to analysts.
With 2.8 million sq ft 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 a property consultancy.
Moreover, analysts estimate that the supply of new office property will grow to between 4.3 million and 6 million sq ft in the next two years, putting further downward pressure on rents.
So far this year, overall office rents have retreated by 1.7 per cent to HK$55.10 (US$7) per square foot, according to a property agent.
The office availability rate, which includes confirmed leasing stock that is already vacant or will become vacant in the next 12 months, is likely to rise from 13.8 per cent now to as much as 17 per cent by the end of the year, the agent said.
“The higher availability rate could become a ‘new normal’ for the office landscape in Hong Kong, intensifying competition among buildings while net take-up remains slow,” the agent said.
Rents across key submarkets should stabilise in 2023 after correcting by around 20 to 30 per cent since the last rental peak in April 2019, the agent said.
“A substantial rental recovery could be challenging in the near term, given the economic and pandemic uncertainties that are disrupting business sentiment and hence new demand in the city,” the agent added.
The prime office vacancy rate currently stands at 12.3 per cent and is likely to slightly increase in 2023, according to another property agent, who estimates that office rents will remain flat or decline by as much as 5 per cent this year.
Despite the gloomy outlook, a few major leasing deals are helping property developers weather the slowing demand, according to a report by another property consultancy.
For example, mainland Chinese financial institution Citic Bank recently leased 150,000 sq ft in Swire Properties’ Two Taikoo Place in Quarry Bay, the consultancy said.
The 42-storey office tower, with a total gross floor area of 1 million sq ft, is slated for occupancy before the end of the year.
“As of early August, Two Taikoo Place is almost 50 per cent pre-leased,” said Don Taylor, director, office, at Swire Properties. “We’ll be welcoming tenants including Julius Baer, Amundi, BASF, and Boston Consulting Group, in addition to a bank which will be taking up 20 per cent of the tower’s lettable area as an anchor tenant.”
Citic has its Hong Kong headquarters in the Citic Tower in Admiralty. It is unclear whether Two Taikoo Place will be its new base in the city or merely an expansion of its footprint. Swire Properties declined to comment, and Citic did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
Office rents in Central average HK$111.60 per square foot, while in Hong Kong East, including Quarry Bay, they average HK$45.70, according to the property consultancy.
For Swire Properties, rents in its office portfolio in Admiralty, near Central, range from HK$95 to HK$120 per square foot, while those in Hong Kong Island’s eastern districts range from around HK$50 to around HK$70, said Taylor.
In Central, CK Asset Holdings, the property developer founded by tycoon Li Ka-shing, is set to complete the 41-storey Cheung Kong Center II (CKC II), which will have a gross floor area of 550,000 sq ft.
“Whilst Hong Kong remains an international financial centre, banking and finance, as well as professional-services firms are still the key demand drivers in the office leasing market, which represented 29.2 per cent and 17.5 per cent of the new lease transactions in the second quarter of 2022, respectively,” an agent said.
In recent months, with the Hong Kong and mainland China borders remaining closed, demand from traditional office tenants had weakened while thriving new economy companies, such as those related to cryptocurrencies, NFTs and blockchain technology, became a stronger source of demand for office space.
However, given the cryptocurrency rout, demand from such companies has also flagged, and the pendulum of major demand now appears to be swinging back to traditional office tenants.
“Financial institutions are major occupiers in Hong Kong’s grade A office market, wealth management and insurance in particular,” another agent said. “We do see them getting more active once the economy starts to pick up.”
The market also looks forward to the end of a lull that saw initial public offerings (IPOs) in the first half of the year in Hong Kong fall to their lowest level since 2003 in terms of funds raised.
“Law firms and the professional services will benefit once IPOs and businesses resume normal activities,” another agent said. “Healthcare and tech, albeit small in terms of space occupied, also have high potential.”

New flats at Novo Land in Tuen Mun sell out as young, first-time buyers take advantage of steep discounts
Sun Hung Kai Properties sold all 180 units on offer in the second phase of the project within about four hours on Wednesday
‘Nearly 80 per cent of our clients were young buyers considering the low entry price,’ a property agent said
The low-pricing strategy of Hong Kong developers proved effective once again as hundreds of mainly young first-time buyers flocked to the sales office of a large residential project in Tuen Mun.
Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) sold all 180 units on offer in the second phase of its Novo Land project within the first four hours on Wednesday afternoon, according to agents.
The development is at 8 Yan Po Road, about a 25-minute walk from Siu Hong MTR station.
“The latest round of flats are priced 20 per cent lower than units that recently went on sale in the same area, which is very attractive,” another agent said.
The agent said that about 60 per cent of the potential buyers for Phase 1B were people who had been unable to get their hands on a unit when Phase 1A was launched at the end of July.
SHKP managed to sell 815 units, or 98 per cent of the units available in phase 1A for HK$5 billion, within 12 days of them going on sale at the start of August.
The latest batch of flats at the development attracted 12,887 potential buyers who registered an interest. The average price was HK$13,998 per square foot.
“Nearly 80 per cent of our clients were young buyers considering the low entry price,” the first agent said.
One buyer spent HK$12 million for two units, the agent said.
The units, ranging from 253 to 694 square feet, were priced between HK$3.41 million and HK$9.59 million, or HK$12,936 to HK$15,539 per square foot, after discounts of up to 15 per cent.
Eight units are to be sold separately through tender.
The cheapest flat on offer on Wednesday was a 253 square-foot unit priced at HK$3.4 million, or HK$13,489 per sq ft.
Novo Land comprises 4,639 units in total, to be developed in six phases. It is slated for completion in June, 2023.
There were 824 units in the first phase, and 800 in the second.
The agent said that August could record as many as 2,500 transactions of new flats, the highest in 20 months, given today’s sell-out at Novo Land.
Sales of lived-in flats, meanwhile, are likely to remain weak as developers are pricing new flats at steep discounts in a bid to lure buyers away from the secondary market at a time when interest rates are on the up.
Mortgage payments linked to the Hong Kong interbank offered rate (Hibor) have risen since March. The one-month Hibor was at 1.9 per cent on Wednesday, the highest in two years following an 11-day rally.
The effective mortgage rate – 1.3 percentage points above Hibor – has climbed from 1.43 per cent in January to about 2.5 per cent.
The Hibor-linked mortgage is capped at 2.5 percentage points below the prime rate, which stands at 5 per cent.
“If Hibor remains above 1.8 per cent for a period of time, the pressure on Hong Kong’s interest rate and banks’ capital costs will increase sharply,” a mortgage broker said.
“The pressure on banks to raise interest rates will increase, which may lead to an acceleration in the pace of raising the prime rate.”
The broker believes that the prime rate rise could go up in September.

陳秉志昨日接受本報查詢時表示,葵涌永業街14至20號華榮工業大廈低層多個單位,分別位處該廈1樓及2樓,總建築面積1.8萬方呎,以約4860萬售出,呎價約2700元。他早於1978年以270萬購入,持貨44年帳面獲利4590萬,升值約17倍。
據代理行資料顯示,該工廈今年以來僅錄一宗買賣,為該廈20樓C室,建築面積3450方呎,今年5月以925萬售出,呎價約2681元。
由於物業於早年購入,持貨多年升值可觀,故沽貨止賺,將因應市況,有機會短期內再度入市,瞄準民生區鋪位。儘管核心區鋪售價大幅回落,惟中港兩地未開關,遊客未回歸,加上涉資大,短期內不考慮。
資料顯示,由他持有的觀塘廣場地下20至25號鋪,建築面積約1687方呎,早前以7000萬售出,呎價約4.15萬,現時由連鎖零售商萬寧以每月約16.17萬租用,料買家回報約2.8厘。他指,早於2001年以3000萬購入該廣場一籃子鋪位,獲利可觀。

葵涌工廈低水現商機 基金垂青
葵涌區工廈呎價相對低水,近期屢獲基金承接,因價格較低,故不論作收租或重建,均甚有商機。
去年基金屢購工廈,近期投資焦點在葵涌區,包括葵涌建康街15至23號泉基工業大廈的72.53%業權,獲財團洽購。該工廈於1977年落成,樓高15層,佔地約25,000平方呎,而是次逾7成樓面,總建築面積約16.8萬平方呎,獲基金以約3.8億元購入,呎價約2,262元。
嘉民亞洲 3.8億購泉基工廈
據悉,新買家為嘉民亞洲,該基金重點發展大型貨倉及物流中心,而近2年工廈受捧,該基金開始投資散業權工廈,先後數度入市,購入九龍灣貨運中心多層單位,共涉9.2億元。另外,該基金去年以約2.86億元,購入葵涌永健路1至5號厚豐工業大廈多層樓面,總面積約14.5萬平方呎,成交呎價僅約1,972元。
泉基工業大廈單位由鄧成波家族持有,波叔早年分階段購入該廈樓面,涉資5.5億元,家族年初曾把物業放售,叫價約7億元,如今大幅降價至3.8億元沽出,蝕約1.7億元離場。
另外,該家族早前以亦約4.33億元,沽出葵涌永昇工業大廈約9成業權。該廈位於永基路26至30號,於1979年落成,樓齡約41年,屬於1幢樓高約12層的工業樓宇。
永昇9成業權 凱龍瑞承接
物業原由鄧成波家族持有,波叔早於10多年前,開始收集該廈業權,累積持有約9成業權,涉資近3億元。家族於2年前,曾為該廈申請強拍,土地審裁處文件顯示,餘下接近1成業權由一名小業主持有,涉及1個地廠、2個車位、3個樓上單位,以及部分天台範圍等。如今家族以約4.33億元沽出,獲利逾億元。
新買家為凱龍瑞基金,該廈佔地約2.2萬平方呎,城規會的分區計劃大綱圖上劃為「工業」用途,地積比率上限為9.5倍,若重建可建樓面面積約20.9萬平方呎。凱龍瑞近年亦有購入工廈進行重建,2020年以9.65億元,購入長沙灣恆發工業大廈全幢,計劃興建1幢27層高的新式工廈,涉及總樓面約22.8萬平方呎。
至於分層單位亦成為基金投資對象,如葵涌貨櫃碼頭路51至63號葵順工業中心錄得成交,涉及物業10樓全層,面積約3.6萬平方呎,以約1.195億元成交,呎價約3,319元,買家為外資基金SilkRoad,該基金近月非常積極吸納工廈,包括分層及全幢,數月前斥1.8億元,購入荃灣沙咀道大成大廈高層3層樓面。
分析指,工廈仍是基金追捧對象,畢竟呎價較便宜,加上租金收入穩定,故仍是基金首選。多區工廈中,葵涌區呎價相對低水,目前多幢工廈,呎價約3,000餘元,甚至低見2,000餘元,故不論作收租,或日後重建,成本較低,具投資價值,相信該區工廈續獲基金留意。

香港仔興偉中心全幢 12.5億標售
工廈為工商舖中交投較穩定範圍,而資深投資者、太子珠寶鐘錶主席及行政總裁鄧鉅明趁勢放售香港仔田灣興偉冰廠凍房全幢,物業市值約為12.5億元。
有外資代理行代理表示,田灣海旁道9號的興偉冰廠凍房全幢現推出放售,並公開招收意向書,9月30日截止。物業為1幢樓高12層的工業及冷庫物業,總建築面積約20萬平方呎,現由單一租戶全數承租。據了解,業主意向價約12.5億元,呎價約6,250元。
9年前曾獲承接 惟最終撻訂
資料顯示,鄧鉅明於2007年以1億元買入上址,2013年曾獲買家以6億元承接,惟買家最終未能完成交易,鄧鉅明殺訂,並持貨至今。甄浚岷稱,現時全港共有79間持牌冷庫,大部分由舊式分層工業大廈改建而成,以及10座全幢持牌凍倉,而興偉冰廠凍房是目前市場上唯一放售的全幢冷庫物業。相信此類資產將受到本地、海外及國內機構投資者追捧。

HSBC raises mortgage rate, dealing a blow to Hong Kong homeowners, with other banks set to follow suit
Someone taking on a 30-year, HK$5 million mortgage at a rate of Hibor+1.3 per cent, will pay an extra HK$656 per month
The mortgage businesses of banks in Hong Kong are about to enter ‘a cold winter’, a mortgage broker says
HSBC has taken the lead in raising mortgage rates as the cost of borrowing money keeps rising, dealing a blow to Hong Kong homeowners and potential buyers.
The move is expected to prompt other major banks in the city to follow suit.
HSBC raised the cap for its Hibor-linked home loans to 2.75 per cent from 2.5 per cent for new applications, it said on Thursday. Hibor (the Hong Kong interbank offered rate) is the interest rate banks charge each other for borrowing money.
The one-month Hibor has soared to 1.9 per cent, the highest in more than two years.
HSBC’s move means someone taking on a HK$5 million (US$637,385) Hibor-linked mortgage over a 30-year period at a rate of Hibor+1.3 per cent, will pay an extra HK$656 per month, an increase of 3.3 per cent, according to a mortgage brokerage service provider.
“As the adjustment of the mortgage rate at such a leading bank is an indicator, other banks are expected to follow suit and increase the cap on their new Hibor-linked mortgages,” another mortgage broker said.
Standard Chartered said it would raise the capped mortgage rates for new Hibor-linked mortgages from 2.5 per cent to 2.75 per cent next Wednesday.
Bank of China (Hong Kong) said it would “review its mortgage service conditions from time to time, taking into account market development, interest rate trends and customer needs, in order to maintain the competitiveness” of its business.
Hang Seng Bank said it is “closely monitoring market conditions” and would review mortgage loan interest rates “from time to time”.
The city’s homeowners and potential buyers have been braced for higher mortgage rates since the Federal Reserve embarked on a rapid succession of interest rate hikes in March to tame the fastest inflation in four decades.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the de facto central bank, increases 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. The market widely expects the US interest rate to increase by another 50 to 75 basis points in September.
Another mortgage brokerage service provider expects local banks to raise the prime rate in September by 25 basis points, when the one-month Hibor rate approaches 2 per cent.
Five smaller banks had already raised their mortgage rates, according to the mortgage brokerage service provider, but HSBC’s decision is by far the most influential. The lender enjoyed just over a fifth of the market share of mortgages in July, according to Land Registry data cited by the mortgage brokerage service provider.
The current cycle of rising mortgage rates, given impetus by HSBC’s announcement, is the the first since 2018.
HSBC has also launched a new one-year, fixed-rate mortgage plan to give customers the option of repaying a set monthly amount, it said on Thursday.
“Under a floating-rate mortgage plan, monthly repayments go up and down in line with the market’s interest rate movement,” the mortgage brokerage service provider said. “At a time like this, some customers may prefer a mortgage solution which offers predictability and stability.”
The brokerage service provider expects other lenders to launch similar fixed-rate mortgage plans.
The effective Hibor-linked mortgage rate already hit the cap of 2.5 per cent in late July when the one-month Hibor reached 1.2 per cent. On Thursday, the one-month Hibor rate climbed to 1.9 per cent, the highest in 28 months, according to the mortgage brokerage service provider.
The amount and number of new mortgage loans plunged by 14.5 per cent and 17.1 per cent year-on-year, respectively, in the first six months of this year as the coronavirus fifth wave ravaged the city’s economy.
Banks are likely to start offering bigger discounts as they strive to drum up business, the mortgage brokerage service provider said.
The mortgage brokerage service provider does not envisage mortgage rates falling again any time soon.
“The current mortgage cap of 2.5 per cent will become history,” the broker said.
The broker predicts that the overall number of mortgages will drop by at least 10 per cent on an annual basis in the coming months.
With sales in the second-hand property market so sluggish recently, “the mortgage business of banks in Hong Kong will enter a cold winter”, the broker said.
An index of lived-in home prices dipped 1.1 per cent to 380.5 in June, its lowest level since December 2020, according to the latest Rating and Valuation Department data.
The city’s property developers have been speeding up their sales launches in a bid to get ahead of interest rate rises. Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) is offering an extra batch of 383 flats for sale at its Novo Land projects on Sunday.
It sold all 180 units on offer in the second phase of the development in Tuen Mun within the first four hours on Wednesday.
(South China Morning Post)交吉半年始租出 力寶中心呎租45元跌約15%
核心區甲廈空罝率高企,業主往往要多番減價才能租出,金鐘力寶中心中層單位,於交吉半年後,以每呎45元租出,較舊租金下跌約15%。
市場消息透露,金鐘力寶中心一座中層6室,建築面積約2100方呎,以每呎約45元租出,月租約9.45萬,上址舊租金為每呎約53元,惟租戶於今年2月租約屆滿遷出,業主亦將單位重新放租,最初叫價每呎為50多元,及後多番減價,加上準租客看中單位裝修合用,最終落實承租,最新租金較舊租金下跌約15%,屬貼市水平。
每月租金9.45萬
事實上,該甲廈於疫市下租金備受壓力,資料顯示,該廈二座高層相連單位,上月以每呎約49元租出,較舊租金急挫逾3成;據業內人士指出,力寶中心於疫市租金跌幅「最傷」,主要因為該甲廈早已賣散業權,各小業主於租務市場上可謂「各自為政」,為免單位丟空,業主願減租吸客。
至於買賣方面,該甲廈近期較矚目成交為二座高層2室,屬多按物業,建築面積1341方呎,於上月以3710萬售出。地產代理指出,2016年起業主曾3次向多家財務公司承造按揭,現時成交價屬市價水平,買家為中資企業。
涉及面積約2100方呎
據了解,原業主早於1996年斥資2120萬,一併購入上述單位及毗鄰3室,計入上月以2970萬售出的3室,以及是次以3710萬售出的2室,合共套現6680萬,持貨26年帳面獲利4560萬。

下半年大手買賣料回落 外資代理行:未來進入加息周期
美國聯儲局連番加息,令投資市場陰霾密布,有外資代理行代理接受本報訪問時指出,隨市場預期息口持續上揚,租金回報必須同步上升,對投資市場難免有影響,料下半年逾億元商用大手買賣跌約10%,成交金額仍有力靠穩,工廈及全幢酒店備受追捧,買家以房地產基金為主力。
該代理指出,美國聯儲局連番加息,幅度及速度漸快及大,對大額投資市場有影響,不過,據暫時觀察,仍然是屬較輕微影響,因為金管局把關工作做得好,早於十多年前,已將借貸比例控制於約五成,加上壓力測試,大部分業主對加息,仍沒有太大財政壓力,但倒轉來說,買賣仍需視乎雙方,買家若然真的加息,對於新做按揭、壓力測試都好,事實上,對息口要求都會調高一點,對買方而言屬正常的。
上半年逾億買賣約60宗
由於業主沒有經濟壓力下,他們不會輕易減價,給予買家高回報,況且,現時疫情尾聲、通關在望,預期成交價格不會下跌,惟相信宗數則會減少。
房地產基金成市場推手
該代理續指,上半年指逾億元的商用大手買錄約60宗,金額約280至300億,該行早前預期下半年有改善,因為疫情慢慢改善,例如政府早前推出「3+4」檢疫措施,為市場釋出正面訊息,故料下半年成交金額可達400億,但由於最近美國加息步伐急速,減低買家意欲,故預期下半年成交金額約300億,與上半年相若,宗數下跌一至兩成。
料工廈及全幢酒店受捧
該代理對後市感樂觀,近年房地產基金成為市場主要推手,就現今環球趨勢分析,以新經濟相關物業最受捧,數據中心、冷庫、迷你倉及物流中心等,此外,全幢酒店及租用住宅上半年亦頻錄大手買賣,儘管即將進入加息周期,上述物業仍具加租空間。該行資料指出,今年第二季逾億元商用物業買賣錄25宗,涉及總額183億,按季增25%及1.24倍,期內工廈成交佔整體金額47%,涉資約86億,是2017年第四季以來第二高水平。

中環大昌大廈呎價2.8萬放售
中環核心區商廈林立,除了甲廈後,乙廈放盤亦受捧,干諾道中大昌大廈中層全層,建築面積3961方呎,意向價1.1億,平均每方呎接近2.8萬
全層意向價1.1億
有代理表示,干諾道中15-18號大昌大廈中層,獲業主委託全層放售,即買即可出租,總建築面積約3961方呎,意向價1.1億,平均每方呎接近2.8萬。
該代理續說,大昌大廈位處中環核心商業區,距離港鐵中環站A出口僅數步之遙,鄰近遮打道、畢打街及置地廣場,緊貼中環行人天橋,連接國際金融中心、交易廣場和怡和大廈等。
四寶中高層3400萬放售
另一代理表示,中環雲咸街22至28號四寶大廈中高層,全層面積約2035方呎,意向價約3400萬,平均呎價約16708元,以交吉形式出售,可股份轉讓形式交易。物業由業主自用多年,連簡約裝修及備有獨立冷氣。物業樓高12層,地下為商鋪,1樓至12樓則為寫字樓用途,現時市值呎租約34元,料回報約2.4厘。
業內人士指,不少乙廈擁有獨立冷氣,在使用上較甲廈具彈性。

港島商廈7月空置率 10.27%新高
港島區指標商廈租務氣氛偏軟,有代理行統計,7月份港島區指標商廈空置率升至10.27%,創紀錄新高。
5大核心商業區中,有4區指標商廈空置率均錄得升幅。當中,上環區按月升幅最高,遞增0.53%至最新約10.79%。其次為中環,空置率為9.3%,按月增加0.3%。第3為金鐘區,空置率上升0.25%至約8.77%。銅鑼灣則錄8.6%空置率,比6月微升0.12%。唯一錄得空置率回落的地區為灣仔,但其空置率則為5區之冠,錄得約12.35%空置率,按月減少0.33%。
力寶中心呎租42 跌逾兩成
租務方面,近日金鐘先後錄得個別甲廈租務成交,當中地標甲廈力寶中心一座中層06室,以呎租約42元獲承租,對比舊呎租約53元大幅減低逾兩成。
該行代斑表示,香港長時間實施封關措施,中、外資企業人員來港受限,拖累商廈市場租務走勢。
最新港府宣布落實「3+4」入境隔離措施,相信將會大大提升商務旅客來港意慾,對香港及外地經濟來往有正面推動力,為商廈市場帶來正面幫助,預測未來數月寫字樓租務市場可望有起色。

安達臣首幅商地 可打造民生商場
觀塘安達臣道一幅商業用地將於26日 (周五) 截標,市場估值約6億元,預期可打造民生商場。測量師指,地皮位置不方便,周邊較缺乏私人發展,或會影響招標反應。
上述地皮佔地約6.3萬平方呎,總樓面約13.9萬平方呎,規模不算大,而且周邊以資助房屋為主,有測量師估計,日後會發展為民生商場為主,而項目亦需於2028年6月前落成。
鑑於地皮位處安達臣道,該測量師預料可接觸觀塘、啟德、九龍灣的居民,但因地皮位於山上,位置不太理想,主要依賴巴士、小巴的公共交通接駁,距離最近的藍田港鐵站約15分鐘車程或以上,加上周邊以資助房屋為主,局限日後發展,或會影響招標反應。
估值約6億 日後呎租約40元
該測量師估計,目前地皮估值介乎約6億元,即每呎樓面地價約4,300多元,並初步預測項目落成後呎租介乎約30至40元,即較觀塘市區的商場平均呎租約60元的水平,低約3至5成。
該測量師又預料,地皮可吸引中、大型發展商競投。該測量師認為,目前尚算是推出該幅商業地的好時機,惟考慮地皮的地點,以及近日相繼有住宅、商業地皮流標的因素後,他直言地皮仍存流標風險。
另外,近期美國持續加息,住宅地相繼以市場下限價成交,該測量師認為,由於發展商競投住宅地時會考慮到未來買家的需求,所以加息影響住宅投地市場較多,相反,買賣商業地的融資比例不太高,故加息對商業地出價影響相對細。

工廈民生區商場 加息下可攻可守
外資代理行代理:基金有資金 下半年主導大手買賣
第二季投資市場有起色,有外資代理行代理認為,在高通脹年代有利物業市場,並看好工廈及民生區商場,相信在加息下進可攻退可守。
隨着香港從第5波疫情中逐步復甦,第二季整體物業投資成交量由第一季的低位回升。該行數據顯示,商業物業投資量亦按季增長52%,但對比2021年上半年,今年首6個月的整體投資量仍按年下跌15%,成交額為289億元。
高通脹年代 投資不會持現金
在美國聯儲局宣布加息後,投資者轉趨更審慎的觀望態度,拖慢決策過程,或令香港市場復甦緩慢。該代理認為,市場資金多,投資物業仍是首選,「全世界資本很充裕,在高通脹年代,投資不會持現金,只會擇肥而噬。而在投資市場上,不論股票、虛擬貨幣等非常波動,過去亦明顯調整。反觀物業市場,提供穩定回報率,相信續吸引資金」。
對於加息的衝擊,該代理分析投資者會較為審,「正因為加息,不會亂買,計算回報及加息因素,需要更高回報率。同時間,加息走向會進一步加重業主的經濟負擔,市場上有機會湧現更多投資物業的出售及接管個案,刺激2022年下半年的交易量,全年成交金額約700億元」。
第二季投資量 基金等佔87%
該代理指出,市場信心漸回復,「2019年社會運動、2020爆發疫情,兩年投資市場欠佳,去年投資市場已轉好,可是遇上今年第5波疫情成最大打擊。現時大家信心開始恢復,亦適應疫情,而7月1日香港新領導班子上場,社會料更為穩定,有助商業氣氛。」
買家方面,該行統計指,第二季投資量87%為基金、機構投資者等,例如葵貨櫃碼頭路集運中心,獲美資基金Nuveen斥資約28.8億購入全幢物業,總樓面面積約26.62萬平方呎,平均呎價約1.09萬元,該廈屬數據中心用途。另外,加拿大基金Brookfield亦入市購工廈。
該代理預計,基金將主導大手買賣市場,「以前基金投資亞洲區,主力日本、韓國、內地、澳洲、新加坡及香港,而新加坡投資項目選擇較少、內地防疫上較嚴厲、日韓勢頭以本土投資者為主,而香港商用物業價格有明顯回調,更吸引資金留意。此外,過往基金在投資旺市時,多不敵本地投資者,如今基金有資金在手,趁本地投資者相對觀望,故下半年仍以基金主導大手買賣」。
物業範疇上,該代理分析,甲廈及核心區舖位基本因素較弱,較難吸引資金垂青,該代理認為,近一年多表現理想的工廈,透過改裝及更改用途,物業價值可望提高,「工廈涉及貨倉、數據中心及凍倉,無論收租、改裝待日後升值,同樣具投資價值,不只香港,在內地、澳洲工業亦是表現好。」該代理指,工廈受捧,或多或少因疫情改變生活習慣,「疫情令各人回歸生活,涉及工廠如食品製造,需求強勁。在疫情期間,使用數據量提高,數據中心亦向好。價錢上,工廈比起商廈,呎價始終便宜,低水吸引資金流入。另外,該代理亦看好民生區商場,因民生區商場防守性強,租戶如超市、酒樓等,租金收入穩定。

物業價跌 中小投資者或重現
上半年本地投資者入市興趣較低,上文的外資代理行代理認為,不少資深投資者因多項因素,入市意慾較低,反而有利一些中小型投資者,趁機撈貨。
過往本港投資市場大旺市,均見本地投資者非常活躍買貨賣貨,今年上半年大手買賣中,以基金、中資等為主。該代理分析,不少資深投資者因持重貨,資金上未必能再大手入市,加上個別原因如股市波動等,變得非常觀望,該代理相信下半年仍不會太活躍。反而一些老牌、或中小型投資者,過往較少出手,他們見物業價格明顯回調,反而可能重現,趁低入市。
該代理指,近日亦有一些老牌業主出售住宅項目,涉及服務式住宅營運商KAZA委託,出售旗下3幢服務式住宅,分別位於西營盤、灣仔及赤柱,項目均連地皮及完整業權出售,其中兩幢項目涉及商業和辦公單位,合共21伙住宅、3個商舖和4個辦公單位,面積約14,348平方呎,意向價為4.45億元。
大灣區看好深圳前景
除了本地市場外,該代理亦多前往內地工作,該代理指,現時對機構投資者是好機遇,特別是國企。「去年平保330億收購凱德集團旗下物業的7成業權,反映國進民退。過去很多民企,在電商、地產發展上,透過很多槓桿營運,如今爆煲。過往在爭奪物業上,國企或不及民企,如今民企退場,國企取而代之。」至於大灣區,該代理較看好深圳區前景,「產業結構豐富,有高科技實業,亦有金融,故物業前景亦佳」。

Price cuts propel secondary home sales over the weekend
Home sales in the top 10 housing estates hit an 18-week high as more homeowners were willing to cut prices over the weekend, despite strong sales in the primary market and major banks raising the cap of mortgage rates.
A property agency recorded 20 transactions in the 10 major housing estates over the weekend, doubling from last week and reaching the highest since mid of April.
Mei Foo Sun Chuen in Lai Chi Kok with five transactions became the most active estate, while South Horizons in Ap Lei Chau and Taikoo Shing recorded no deal.
Some buyers believe that property prices have bottomed out as the relaxed hotel quarantine rule raises hope for a full border reopening, so as long as vendors provide more room for price negotiations, home sales will remain strong, a property agent
In the first-hand market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) sold at least 371 out of the 383 units available in the second round of sales for phase 1B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun yesterday.
SHKP released the third price list last week, providing 400 units at an average price per square foot of HK$14,429 after discounts.
The project offers 800 homes with sizes ranging from 220 sq ft and 1,464 sq ft.
The developer said two or three more new projects will be launched next month after the sales of this one.
In Kai Tak, The Henley II, developed by Henderson Land Development (0012), recorded one deal yesterday. A 575-sq-ft flat with two bedrooms was sold for HK$14.36 million, or at HK$24,973 per sq ft.
The agent expects that the city to see a total of 2,500 new home sales this month.
The warm market response came after major local banks raised the cap of the mortgage rate linked to the Hong Kong interbank offered rate by 0.25 percentage points to 2.75 percent.
Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Patrick Wong and Francis Chan have estimated that Hong Kong's home prices could drop by 5 to 10 percent in the second half following the rate hike.
More pains is yet to come - the prime rate is projected to be increased by 25 basis points as soon as next month, which will elevate the mortgage rate accordingly.

China Vanke in $3b loan deal for Tai Po project
China Vanke (2202) will provide a guarantee for its unit to obtain a HK$3 billion one-year loan for developing a project in Tai Po.
Vanke Property (Hong Kong), Vanke's wholly-owned subsidiary, will provide joint liability guarantee to its other unit, Wealth Honour, for the syndicated loan, the developer said in a regulatory filing yesterday.
After the guarantee, the company's total guarantee amount will reach 36.51 billion yuan (HK$40.87 billion), accounting for 15.47 percent of its audited net assets attributable to shareholders, it added.
Wealth Honour had unaudited total assets of HK$3.95 billion at the end of last year and recorded a loss of HK$373,500 in 2021.
Wealth Honour, which is controlled by Vanke along with CNQC International (1240), had won the residential site at Ma Wo Road in Tai Po in 2020 for HK$3.7 billion, or HK$4,739 per buildable square foot.
Market surveyors had valued the site at HK$2.74 billion to HK$4.57 billion.
The site, which measures 243,350 sq ft, has a maximum buildable floor area of 781,890 sq ft.
Vanke and CNQC outbid 12 other developers, including Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), CK Asset (1113) and Henderson Land Development (0012).
(The Standard)羅素街8號18樓1.07億沽
歌手麥浚龍父親、中建富通 (00138) 主席麥紹棠原持有銅鑼灣銀座式商廈英皇鐘錶珠寶中心2層,持貨8年後,今年內先後沽貨,剛以1.07億元賣出18樓全層,最終兩層共蝕8050萬元離場。
據了解,銅鑼灣羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心18樓,建築面積約4718方呎,原以1.2億元放售,最終以1.07億元售出,呎價約22679元,買賣透過轉讓公司股份形式進行。該層現由美容中心以每月16.5萬元租用,新買家可享約1.9厘回報。
麥紹棠持貨8年損失4150萬
根據資料顯示,麥紹棠於2014年初以約1.49億元購入上址,持貨8年,賬面虧損4150萬元,貶值約28%。
里昂證券旗下基金在2013年底斥資約18億元購入銅鑼灣羅素街8號5樓至29樓共22層樓面,其後在2014年2月起拆售。麥紹棠屬當年大手買家之一,共斥近2.98億元購入18樓及19樓兩層。
好景不常,零售市道其後自高位大幅滑落,該廈租金一直低迷,租賃回報欠佳,麥紹棠2018年起已有意放售該2層,直至今年才先後售出。
港鐵 (00066) 前主席馬時亨長女劉馬露明及其丈夫劉仲恒於今年5月斥資1.1億元購入19樓,麥紹棠賬面損手3900萬元離場,連同最新售出的18樓,麥紹棠共套現2.17億元,賬面合共蝕8050萬元或約27%。

Hong Kong finance chief says ‘no plan or intention’ for authorities to either scrap property cooling measures or intervene in market
Financial Secretary Paul Chan says government cannot see any risk of property market ‘falling off a cliff’, adds policy not affected by ‘short-term fluctuations’
Authorities ‘cautiously optimistic’ regarding performance of local economy during second half of 2022, provided epidemic situation is under control, he adds
There is “no plan or intention” for the Hong Kong government to either scrap cooling measures or intervene in the property market despite short-term fluctuations, the city’s finance chief has said.
Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po on Sunday also said that while it was possible the city would raise the prime interest rate if the United States continued with its own increase next month, he hoped the deposit rate would also be increased.
“We have no plans, no intention [to support the residential property market]. I don’t think there is such a need. This is very clear. I have studied many figures and different situations in the property market,” Chan told a radio programme.
“We can’t see the property market has any risk of ‘falling off a cliff’. Often there are slight fluctuations. Our policy direction and aims are not affected by short-term fluctuations.”
With authorities aiming to help residents buy their first flat, Chan said cooling measures for the property market needed to be maintained.
The government has implemented cooling measures for more than a decade, including the buyer’s stamp duty – a 15 per cent tax on property transactions imposed on non-permanent residents – as well as the double stamp duty, a tax imposed on residential purchases except by first-time buyers.
“The government has been doing it right and there is a need to continue,” he said.
The remarks from the finance chief followed a period of falling house prices. The latest data from the Rating and Valuation Department showed the price index for lived-in homes had dipped 1.1 per cent to 380.5 in June, the most since a 1.8 per cent drop in February and reaching its lowest level since December 2020.
The pledge by Chan also came after Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, convenor of the Executive Council, Hong Kong’s key decision-making body, had earlier caused a stir in the market when she told Bloomberg Television the city “may consider waiving extra stamp duty on homes for mainland Chinese buyers as a way to shore up the economy and reverse a brain drain”.
Chan’s office had responded by issuing a statement rejecting the news report, which had triggered a surge in local property developer shares.
He said the property market and the future supply of private flats were both stable, but urged residents to consider the impact of the interest rate increase when buying properties, especially since the US could continue to increase its own rate next month.
“The city’s prime interest rate will possibly be raised. To be reasonable and fair, not only the increase of the prime rate, we hope to see that the deposit interest rate will also be raised,” the financial secretary said.
Chan also said authorities remained “cautiously optimistic” regarding the performance of the local economy during the second half of 2022, provided the epidemic situation was under control.
The government had ramped up its epidemic-response capabilities to allow for more economic activities to continue in the city, as well as reducing the hotel quarantine period to minimise any inconveniences for travellers, he said.
Under the current entry regime, overseas arrivals must undergo quarantine at a designated hotel for three days, before undergoing four days of “medical surveillance” at either their homes or another hotel with limited freedom of movement.
But the financial secretary added that it was too early to say whether Hong Kong would scrap its hotel quarantine requirement in the short term, explaining that the administration would need to strike a balance between fully reopening the border with mainland China and the rest of the world.

Young homebuyers snap up Sun Hung Kai Properties’ Novo Land flats as steep discounts offset higher mortgage rate
Buyers, most of them young and purchasing homes for the first time, bought 371 of 383 units on offer in the third phase on Sunday
First-time buyers continued to snap up flats at the popular project in Tuen Mun, shrugging off concerns about higher mortgage rates
Young homebuyers continued to snap up flats at the popular Novo Land project in Tuen Mun on Sunday as steep discounts outweighed concerns around rising mortgage rates.
Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) sold 371 of 383 units on offer in the third phase of its Novo Land project, according to agents.
“The sales are ideal,” a property agent said.
Around 80 per cent of the buyers on Sunday were young, first-time buyers, attracted by discounts of up to 20 per cent, agents said.
Today’s strong sales came after the second batch of units at Novo Land sold out within just four hours last Wednesday. The developer’s low pricing strategy has at least partially offset the impact of rising interest rates and attracted hordes of young buyers driven by a strong desire to get a foothold in Hong Kong’s notoriously expensive property market.
Homebuilders in the city are speeding up their sales in a bid to get ahead of the interest rate increases. It is expected that more banks will follow HSBC, which last week became the first of the city’s major lenders to raise its mortgage rates.
The bank raised the cap for its Hibor-linked home loans to 2.75 per cent from 2.5 per cent for new applications on Thursday. Hibor (the Hong Kong interbank offered rate) is the interest rate banks charge each other for borrowing money.
Despite this, the attractive prices on offer are offsetting the relatively weak sentiment among buyers, the agent said.
“If the sellers are willing to lower their prices, there is still demand, as many buyers were taking a ‘wait and see’ attitude,” the agent said. “If there are cheap properties, people are still wiling to enter the market.”
The average price of the Novo Land units on Sunday was HK$14,429 (US$1,839) per square foot. The flats – ranging from 220 sq ft to 708 sq ft – were priced between HK$3.4 million and HK$9.5 million after discount, or between HK$13,039 per sq ft and HK$17,233 per sq ft.
The project has proved popular, with each previous batch of flats selling out since sales were launched on July 31. The total value of the units on sale on Sunday was more than HK$2.6 billion.
Novo Land comprises 4,639 units in total, to be developed in six phases. It is slated for completion in June, 2023. There were 824 units in the first phase, and 800 in the second.
Mortgage payments linked to Hibor have been on the rise since March. The one-month Hibor hit 1.9 per cent on Wednesday, the highest in two years following an 11-day rally.
The effective mortgage rate – 1.3 percentage points above Hibor – has climbed from 1.43 per cent in January to about 2.5 per cent.
More property developers are expected to offer discounts to boost sales to counter the impact of the higher interest rates, while homeowners will continue to lower their asking prices in the secondary market.
Housing prices will stabilise or even edge up in the fourth quarter, if the government pushes policies that buoy economic growth and Hong Kong fully reopens its international borders, the agent said.
“But if the interest rate hikes are faster than expected or rise by a bigger-than-expected degree, it will have a negative impact on the housing market,” the agent said.
(South China Morning Post)中資機構擴充 成甲廈租務主力
疫情封關下,中資機構成為近日商廈市場的租務主力,有中資趁租金回調,租入優質商廈,個別更屬擴充個案。
近日甲廈租務成交,不少來自中資機構。消息指,九龍站環球貿易廣場 (ICC) 55樓逾半層樓面、以及56樓全層,總面積約5萬平方呎,以每平方呎約75元租出。按該廈高層單位高峰呎租達100元計,如今租金水平已回調約25%。
中金公司大手租環球貿易廣場五萬呎
新租客為中資金融機構中金公司,主要業務為協助公司集資上市、包銷等。過去兩年,多間內企來港IPO上市,令該行生意提升。由於預計下半年將有中概股回歸,中金公司業務料進一步擴大,故進行擴充,而今年整體甲廈租務大手成交,幾乎全為搬遷個案,是次屬今年最大手擴充樓面個案。
中金公司為過去1年擴充最積極的金融機構,去年澳洲基金麥格理棄租中環國際金融中心一期5.3萬平方呎樓面,而一直設總部於國際金融中心一期的中金公司,即承租該批樓面,連同集團原租用的7萬平方呎,合共涉約12萬平方呎,成為該廈最大租戶。若連同是次租用環球貿易廣場,1年內便新租10萬平方呎超甲廈樓面。
此外,環球貿易廣場同時錄得另一宗中資機構租務,涉及物業高層大半層樓面,約2.8萬平方呎,以每呎約75元租出。新租客為瑞禾航空資本,該機構主要業務為飛機租賃,以及資產管理等,總部設於香港。公司目前租用中環國際金融中心一期低層單位,涉及約4,000多平方呎,如今搬至環球貿易廣場作大幅擴充。
翻查資料,是次錄得兩宗中資機構擴充個案,樓面原來均由德意志銀行租用,該銀行近年放棄部分樓面,是次涉及3層樓面,德意志銀行曾尋求頂租,最終合約完結而遷出。
眾安國際約58萬 租無限極廣場
另一中資機構眾安國際近期亦租樓面,涉及上環無限極廣場高層全層樓面,面積約10,603平方呎,成交月租約58萬元,呎租約55元。
至於今年最大租務亦來自中資,涉中信銀行國際租用太古坊二座多層,共15萬平方呎。據了解,該集團之前租同區商廈,現搬至全新項目。據悉,太古地產旗下太古坊二座目前已有約5成樓面獲預租,涉及國際投資機構、顧問公司等。
分析指,由於過去兩年受疫情影響,大型跨國機構少有擴充,直至近月本港開始縮短檢疫日數,商務活動可望加快。個別實力較強的中資機構,一直有意在港擴充業務,只是因疫情稍為延後,隨着優質甲廈租金有一定調整,吸引中資租用樓面,相信若進一步放寬檢疫期,至日後正式通關,中資租務活動將進一步加快。

工商舖價跌至低位 馬僑生:寬入境推動商務
工商舖買賣近期較為淡靜,馬僑生認為,外圍局勢等因素令投資氣氛不明朗,不過相信工商舖價格已跌至低位,只要續放寬入境措施,有利商務活動。
「小巴大王」馬亞木之子馬僑生表示,近來市場上出現數個負面因素,「一來美國加息,而中美關係因台灣問題而變得緊張,令投資氣氛受挫。不過我始終認為,現時已是工商舖很低潮時間,再跌空間不大。」他又指,隨着政府放寬入境措施,可望推動商務活動,「全世界也向放寬方向,相信香港亦可逐步解封,按現時死亡個案不多,相信新一屆政府會積極推動經濟。」
拆售旺舖非看淡 善價而沽
投資方面,近來馬僑生較少入貨,反而不時放售物業,如近日拆售藍田多個旺舖,個別更獲承接。他指,沽貨並非看淡後市,只是善價而沽,若有合適物業會出手。

尖沙嘴巨鋪每呎37.5元租出 交吉逾半年 品牌連鎖店「細」搬「大」
疫市雖持續,市場憧憬今年內通關,有零售商「細」搬「大」,尖沙嘴彌敦道一個巨鋪,交吉逾半年,建築面積逾8000方呎,由品牌連鎖店HANNAH以每月逾30萬進駐,平均呎租37.5元,該店本來承租同一街道鋪位,面積約4200方呎,今番搬大鋪,同時節省租金。
尖沙嘴彌敦道26號地下巨鋪,舊租客全部為奢侈品,早於半年前撤出,業主着手將鋪位招租,市場消息透露,地下1號鋪、地庫及一樓,合共逾8000方呎,獲零售連鎖店HANNAH承租,月租逾30萬,平均呎租37.5元。
本報就上述租賃向業主新地查詢,發言人表示,不回應個別租賃查詢。
新地:不回應租賃查詢
根據代理提供資料,該巨鋪過往由英皇鐘錶珠寶及名店BALLY承租,英皇承租1號及3號地鋪,建築面積6262方呎,1樓建築面積約3516方呎,合共9778方呎,於2006年至2009年間,月租逾97萬,據了解,於鋪市高峰期,該鋪位月租高逾200萬,及後因應市況減租;另一個地鋪由奢侈品牌BALLY承租;至於該廈地庫約10091方呎,一直由長情租客桑拿承租,早於2008年間月租49.5萬,多年來雖然有加租,但加幅平穩。
代理又指出,由於近年來鋪市下調,若對比上一手租金,料新租金跌幅顯著。
涉及面積逾8000方呎
知情人士續說,在奢侈品離場後,業主亦因應市況,重建打造鋪位,並獲得HANNAH垂青,HANNAH原本承租該街道一個鋪位,今年5月約滿,今番細鋪搬大鋪,更節省巨額租金,舊址為彌敦道99至101號海防大廈地下1號鋪及閣樓,地下及閣樓各2100方呎,合共約4200方呎,租期2019年5月至2022年5月,月租110萬,該巨鋪現時交吉,市場消息指,業主放租68萬。
代理指出,HANNAH承租的彌敦道近海防道地段,較26號位置更佳,人流更多,雖然如此,新鋪面積大一倍,節省租金高達70%,確是吸引,反應核心區鋪位在疫市下,只有大幅減租,才能獲承接。

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has put another 125 flats for phase 1B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun on the market, with an average price after discounts slightly up at HK$14,780 per square foot.
The developer said it expects to launch the third round of sales this weekend.
The latest price list includes seven studios, 40 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom, and 25 three-bedroom units, with prices ranging from HK$3.48 million to HK$9.82 million after discounts.
In addition, for 60 units whose prices were unveiled before but have not been put up for sale, they will also see a 1 to 2 percent hike in prices, the developer added.
This came as a 1,293-sq-ft duplex flat with a rooftop at Upper Riverbank in Kai Tak was sold for HK$47.29 million, or HK$36,574 per sq ft, said the developer Longfor (0960).
In other news, the one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate, which is linked to the borrowing cost for mortgages, fell for the third consecutive day to 1.79774 percent yesterday.

Hong Kong’s secondary home market suffers as buyers focus on attractively priced new projects
Prices of some secondary homes in popular housing estates have fallen by over 30 per cent recently, recent transactions show
Secondary home prices will continue to fall as they have not found a floor yet, says property agent
Prices of decades-old secondary homes in Hong Kong’s New Territories, which were driven up in the past two to three years, have slumped by more than 30 per cent in recent days as they lose appeal among buyers.
Home seekers have become more selective amid a market correction, preferring to buy new flats that are more resilient in these conditions, analysts said.
“Old homes built more than 30 or 40 years ago could have up to 50 per cent lower market value than new flats in the same neighbourhood, as they lack modern facilities,” a mortgage broker said, who expects Hong Kong property prices to fall by as much as 20 per cent this year and next.
Buyers who rushed to buy in 2019 and 2020 had pushed up secondary market prices, he said, adding that the prices of these units will drop to a more realistic level as borrowing costs rise.
Last week, HSBC became the first of the city’s major lenders to raise its mortgage rates. The bank raised the cap for its Hibor-linked home loans to 2.75 per cent from 2.5 per cent for new applications. Despite the rising rates, attractively priced new projects continue to draw buyers.
A 713 sq ft home in Mei Foo Sun Chuen, a nearly 50-year-old residential development in Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, sold for HK$7.55 million (US$962,300), or HK$10,589 per square foot on the weekend, compared with the original asking price of HK$8.25 million, according to a property agency.
In February 2020, a 644 sq ft unit in the same development fetched HK$6.8 million, or HK$15,247 per square foot, nearly 31 per cent higher, according to data from another property agency.
At J Loft, a new project coming up in Sham Shui Po where flats went on sale in June, prices have averaged HK$21,167 per square foot.
In Kingswood Villas, Tin Shui Wai, a 545 sq ft unit sold on August 19 for HK$5.9 million, or HK$10,902 per square foot, according to the property agency. In November 2019, a 446 sq ft unit in the same housing estate sold for HK$5.5 million, or HK$12,332 per square foot, about 12 per cent higher, data from the agency showed.
The agency’s market index showed that Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices dropped 0.82 per cent to 175.65 for the week ended August 14, an 81-week low.
“[Secondary] home prices will continue to fall as they have not found a floor yet,” an agent said.
While prices of lived-in homes have dropped 8.2 per cent from 190.39 a year earlier, the agent expects the index could drop to the 170 level in January, which would translate to an 11 per cent decline from August last year.
Separately, data from another property agency released last week showed that average home prices in 50 major housing estates tracked by the agency eased 0.3 per cent to HK$14,887 per square foot in July, a four-month low.
The largest decline was 8.7 per cent in Harbour Place, Hung Hom, to HK$17,355 per square foot followed by Park Island, Ma Wan, where prices slid 8.2 per cent to HK$11,453 per square foot, according to the agency.
“The price decline will further deepen to HK$11,400 per square foot at Park Island as units in the first-hand market are priced lower than the prevailing rate,” the first said.
Attractively priced new homes continue to attract buyers, especially young, first-time home seekers.
Sun Hung Kai Properties sold 96 per cent of 383 units in the second phase of the Novo Land project in Tuen Mun on Sunday. The prices were 20 per cent lower compared with lived-in flats in the same area.
“The interest-rate hike has already made many homebuyers hesitant, which may increase their bargaining power,” agent said, adding that secondary home prices may fall by another 2 per cent in August.
Given Hong Kong’s recent disappointing economic performance, which saw growth contract for the second consecutive quarter, transactions and prices may only rebound in the fourth quarter, the agent said.

中環2甲廈重建 料增逾萬呎樓面
中環新落成的甲廈項目供應罕有,而區內2個甲廈重建項目預計陸續於明年落成,單計該2項目,料提供於逾100萬平方呎樓面,勢成區內新焦點。
核心區中環的新供應極為罕有,當中長實 (01113) 旗下的夏慤道和記大廈重建項目,近日正式命名為長江集團中心二期 (Cheung Kong Center II),並宣布將於明年落成。項目原先為和記大廈,早在1974年落成,當年樓高23層,而重建後物業樓高41層,亦提供約185個車位,涉及總樓面面積約55萬平方呎。據集團表示,項目有望今年稍後時間招租。
長江集團中心二期料明年落成
另一個重建項目則為恒地 (00012) 旗下的 The Henderson。項目前身為美利道停車場大廈項目,早於2017年由恒地以約232.8億元奪得,每平方呎樓面地價逾5萬元,以其成交呎價計算,至今仍屬全港官地新高紀錄。
恒地5年間連奪2地王
項目重建後將會發展為1幢36層高 (另設5層地庫) 的甲級商廈,總樓面面積約46.5萬平方呎,同樣預計於2023年落成。項目由世界知名扎哈·哈迪德建築師事務所 (Zaha Hadid Architects) 設計,並特別引入曲面玻璃幕牆,外形獨特新穎,十分突出。
事實上,恒地近年積極擴展區內勢力,於短短約5年內連環奪的2幅中環地王。繼投得美利道商業地王後,發展商去年再以約508億元,每平方呎樓面地價約3.1萬元成功奪得中環新海濱3號用地,打破新地 (00016) 於2019年以約422億元奪得西九高鐵站項目紀錄,其成交總價創下全港歷來最貴重地皮紀錄。
據發展商早前宣布,項目將會分2期發展,第1期將於2027年落成,包括約27萬平方呎辦公室樓面、約34萬平方呎零售、餐飲和娛樂空間,並提供約900個停車位。至於第2期將於2032年落成,涉約39萬平方呎辦公室樓面面積及約60萬平方呎零售空間,及連接港鐵中環站的地下通道。發展商日後會發展3座建築,當中最接近海濱的建築物將作多用途之用,另發展2座作辦公室用途。在3幢建築物的天台將設有一個名為「Horizon Park」的相連平台,以串連3座建築物,並以植物營造空中森林,項目涉及的總投資額高達約630億元。

隨着第5波疫情逐步放緩,加上核心區商廈呎租回落,吸引租客重回中環等核心區分,而預計於明年落成的 The Henderson,近期亦錄得大型公司承租。恒地 (00012) 旗下中環 The Henderson 於今年6月錄得第2宗租務,承租的是國際投資公司凱雷集團 (Carlyle)。
凱雷集團租用2萬呎樓面
該公司租用 The Henderson 約2萬平方呎樓面,據市場人士預測,上述成交呎租料約130元,超越目前的甲廈市價水平。
事實上,該廈至今暫獲2宗租務成交,首宗成交於去年7月錄得,當時由藝術及奢侈品拍賣行佳士得承租共4層寫字樓,合共約5萬平方呎樓面,以作集團在港首個常設拍賣中心和藝廊。
疫情困擾的3年多以來,商廈市場交投受重創,而最政府最新的落實「3+4」入境隔離措施,雖效用未及完全通關的顯著,但相信當局正為通關「鋪路」,對整體商廈市場會帶來正面幫助,帶動核心區租務。

羅素街逾千呎地舖30萬租 跌約77%
銅鑼灣羅素街錄得長租個案,消息指,曾由溥儀眼鏡租用的逾千呎地舖,以約30萬元租出,租金跌約77%,更較高峰期跌近9成。
市場人士指,羅素街59至61號麗園大廈地下B5號舖,面積約1,433平方呎,以約30萬元租出,呎租約209元。該舖位於羅素街尾段,位置上雖稍不及時代廣場對面,但因位處時代廣場前往希慎廣場必經之路,人流亦暢旺,該段舖位面積普遍1,000平方呎以內,故是次涉及舖位面積稍大。
據了解,自從疫情以來,該舖均乏長租客租用,兩年以來先後由口罩店及利是封店等短租,目前租客為口罩店,估計月租僅約10萬至15萬元。
首飾店趁租金低位進駐
消息稱,新租客為一家首飾店,相信趁目前租金跌至低位,加上憧憬日後通關,旅客重返,故以較便宜租金奪舖。
翻查資料,該舖於自由行旅客消費高峰期時,由溥儀眼鏡租用,月租高見250萬元,其後品牌兩度續租,月租降至約130萬元,最終品牌於2020年約滿遷出。
按是次成交月租30萬元計,較對上長租約租金跌約77%,若與高峰期相比,跌幅更高見88%。
是次租出物業比鄰舖位,於本年初亦獲長租,羅素街59號地下B4號舖,面積約900平方呎,獲天梭表 (TISSOT) 以20萬元租用,租期為3年,較舊租大跌75%,與高峰期比較更急挫近9成。當時屬兩年疫情以來,羅素街首宗鐘錶店租舖個案。
由於中港尚未正式通關,目前羅素街尾段多個舖位基本上仍以短租為主,反映零售商整體上非常審慎,不敢作出擴充。

海防道鋪每呎1000元續租跌21%
核心區鋪位租金持續受壓,尖沙嘴海防道地鋪獲護膚及化妝品零售商The Body Shop續租,租約為期兩年,最新租金約30萬,呎租約1000元,較舊租金跌逾20%。
TheBodyShop月租30萬
市場消息指出,尖沙嘴海防道53號至55號海防大廈地下6A號鋪位,建築面積約300方呎,The Body Shop以約30萬續租,為期兩年,呎租約1000元,以該鋪舊租金38萬比較,最新租金下跌約21%。
據代理指出,中港兩地至今尚未通關,對核心區鋪市而言,單靠民生消費屬杯水車薪,故租金調整理所當然。
事實上,該街道近期頻錄鋪位減租個案,資料顯示,海防道31號地鋪,建築面積約893方呎,本月中以約15萬租出,呎租約167元,租期為3期,較舊租金20萬下跌約25%。
另一方面,有代理稱,上環荷李活道160至168號地下A號鋪連閣樓,建築面積約2400方呎,意向價6980萬,呎價約2.9萬。
另一代理表示,尖沙嘴康宏廣場中層相連單位,建築面積約4284方呎,意向售價約5911.9萬,呎價約1.38萬。

Hong Kong’s Henderson Land reports lower first-half profit, says global headwinds, Covid-19 curbs make for sombre outlook
Lower underlying profit mainly because of the absence of a one-off gain developer recognised last year
Firm hopes that Hong Kong will soon resume quarantine-free travel, which will bode well for economy, property market, chairmen say
Henderson Land Development, one of Hong Kong’s biggest property developers, reported a 34 per cent year-on-year decline in first-half profit to HK$5.1 billion (US$654.6 million) on Tuesday.
The lower underlying profit was mainly because of the absence of a one-off gain it recognised last year from Miramar Hotel and Investment Company becoming a Henderson Land subsidiary in 2020, according to a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange.
The developer founded by billionaire Lee Shau-kee, Hong Kong’s second-wealthiest man with a net worth of US$30.6 billion according to Forbes, also saw gross rental income decline by 2 per cent to HK$3.2 billion in this period, as tough Covid-19 curbs implemented in the early part of the year dampened retail sales in Hong Kong. As of the end of June, 93 per cent of the company’s major rental properties were occupied.
Henderson Land has proposed a dividend of HK$0.50 per share to be payable on September 20. Its shares closed 1.6 per cent lower at HK$27.25 apiece on Tuesday.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, geopolitical tensions between China and the US, and interest rate increases caused by widespread inflation in various major economies, “there is increasing fear that a worldwide recession is imminent”, Lee Ka Kit and Lee Ka Shing, Lee Shau-kee’s sons and Henderson Land’s chairmen, said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The group hopes that Hong Kong will soon resume quarantine-free travel, which will bode well for the overall economy, as well as the property market in Hong Kong,” they added.
The developer plans to follow up the launch of the first phase of its One Innovale project in Fanling this month with the launch of nine other projects this year. These projects will comprise 10,800 residential units and 2.9 million sq ft in gross floor area. It is also looking to sell 180,000 sq ft of office and industrial space.
In the first half of this year, the developer’s contracted sales in Hong Kong and mainland Chinese amounted to about HK$27.9 billion, of which HK$12.2 billion will be recognised in the second half upon completion of development and handover to buyers.
Henderson Land is one of the most prolific buyers of land in Hong Kong. It currently owns 25 million sq ft in the city and is looking to acquire more projects in various districts.
In November last year, it won the bid for Hong Kong’s most expensive commercial land parcel by paying a record HK$50.8 billion for a 50-year land grant on New Central Harbour Front Commercial Site 3. The price offered was HK$13.7 billion, or 37 per cent, more than the next best bid.
Henderson Land said it planned to invest HK$63 billion in the site and will develop three blocks on the property. Two of these will be office buildings and the one closest to the harbourfront will be multifunctional.
Meanwhile, Henderson Investment, which runs department stores in Hong Kong, said Covid-19 restrictions severely impacted operations with profit falling by 20 per cent to HK$24 million. The unit declared a dividend of HK$0.01 per share. Its shares declined by about 1.5 per cent on Tuesday.
(South China Morning Post)中環中心每呎42元跌40% 交吉一個月租出 金融機構進駐
疫市下核心區甲廈急下滑,消息指,由國浩集團持有的中環中心低層單位,於交吉一個月,新以每呎約42元租出,獲金融機構取代會計師行進駐,較舊租金每呎70元下跌約40%;業內人士指,疫情走勢反覆,加上甲廈市場正處供應高峰期,令甲廈租金持續受壓。
據市場消息透露,中環中心 15樓3號室,建築面積約2083方呎,新獲金融機構以每呎約42元租出,月租約87486元,據悉,上址自2019年中起由一家會計師行以每呎約70元租用,租約於本月初屆滿遷出,交吉僅約一個月租出,惟最新租金較舊租金急挫4成。
屬市價水平
據地產代理指出,上址由國浩集團持有的,於多年以來一直作長綫收租用途,因上址位處低層,景觀以樓景為主,故租金較該甲廈其他樓層稍低,最新租金屬貼市價水平,加上業主於今年4月起,將上址放租,當時意向呎租約46元,經多番議價磋商後,議幅輕微擴闊,於交吉僅約一個月即獲承租,反映核心區指標甲廈於疫市下仍備受追捧。
低層單位望樓景
事實上,中環中心近期租金明顯回軟,頻錄租金下滑個案,其中,曾由資深投資者蔡志忠拆售的中環中心22樓,建築面積約3184方呎,於交吉三年後,於本月初以每呎約37元租出,月租約117808元,創該甲廈12年以來新低水平。業主於2019年5月向蔡志忠購入,因當時正值市場高峰期,購入價高達約1.13億購入,每呎造價3.58萬,若以最新租金計,租金回報僅約1.24厘。
此外,該甲廈22樓3室,建築面積1651方呎,亦於上月以每呎約43元租出,月租約70993元,較舊租金每呎65元急挫約33%。
甲廈交吉樓面湧現
據業內人士分析指,受疫情及美國聯儲局連番加息影響,令甲廈租務需求急速放緩,加上現時市場正處供應高峰期,交吉樓面持續湧現,對商戶而言,寫字樓實在不愁租,令部分業主議幅持續擴闊,料整體甲廈租金持續調整。
據一間外資代理行早前指出,今年第二季甲廈空置樓面達980萬方呎,創歷來新高水平,最新空置率報11.9%,因市場正處供應高峰期,預測明年底甲廈空置率有機會上升至14%,料屆時空置率將「見頂」。

每月租金8.5萬
該代理表示,是次招租單位位處中層,實用率逾70%,已配有全寫字樓裝修,現時由教學團體租用,將於11月遷出;據該行統計資料顯示,新港中心 7月份空置率約4.64%,較上月再減約0.01%;7月份尖沙嘴西部整體空置率12.08%,對比之下反映該廈租賃表現不俗,目前該廈有8個單位招租,意向呎租介乎每方呎32元至41元。
恆雲低層叫價3000萬
此外,另一代理表示,黃竹坑香葉道44號恆雲國際中心低層9至11室,建築面積約2219方呎,意向價約3000萬,呎價約13520元。

醫院道中標價高次標2.6%
嘉華上月底以5.51億奪得西營盤醫院道「蚊型」住宅用地,地政總署以不具名方式,公布其餘10份落選標價,出價介乎3.0088億至5.3723125億,呎價約7001至12500元,而中標價較次標高出約2.6%,可見首兩標出價相當接近。
該幅「蚊型」住宅地上月底接獲11份標書,由嘉華以5.51億力壓10財團奪地,每方呎樓面地價約12820元,低過市場估值下限價。地政總署昨以不具名方式,公布其餘10份落選標價,首兩標出價相當接近,次標出價約5.3723125億,與中標價僅相差約1376.875萬,樓面呎價則約12500元,首標較次標僅高約2.6%,可說是險勝。
財團超低價入標
值得留意的是,有財團以「執雞」心態以超低價入標,最低標出價僅約3.0088億,與中標價相差約2.5012億,差幅達約83.1%,樓面呎價僅約7001元。除中標的嘉華國際外,其餘入標財團包括信和、恒基、會德豐地產、英皇國際等。上述西營盤醫院道住宅地,毗鄰私樓匯賢居,地盤面積逾5372方呎,是今個財政年度賣地表中面積最細地皮,涉及可建總樓面約42979方呎。

中海外4.5億 沽土瓜灣海悅廣場
共46商舖連42車位 樓面呎價約1.1萬
疫情下民生區商場受捧,消息稱,中國海外 (00688) 以約4.5億元,沽出土瓜灣海悅廣場,涉及近4萬平方呎樓面,買家料為本地投資者俊業集團。
市場消息指,土瓜灣錄得商舖買賣,涉及土瓜灣馬頭圍道209號海悅豪庭基座商場「海悅廣場」,物業位於馬頭圍道及譚公道交界,屬土瓜灣區核心地段之一。
成交涉及兩層地庫、地下、1至2樓,由於位處民生區,商場租戶多屬民生相關,地下街舖分別由快餐店、眼鏡店等租用,而樓上商戶包括教育中心、遊戲中心及美容店等,出租率理想。物業合共46個商舖,總樓面約39,147平方呎,連同42個車位,消息稱項目以約4.5億元易手,呎價約1.1萬元。據了解,項目由大廈發展商中國海外持有,一直持有收租。
錦綉花園發展商購入
而市場人士透露,新買家料為俊業集團黃氏家族,該家族早年先後發展元朗錦綉花園、大埔康樂園兩大洋房屋苑,集團早前指,業務正轉型發展民生商廈、商場,包括先後購入長沙灣金星商業大廈、旺角周勝記商業大廈進行翻新,而集團本年以3億元沽出康樂園面積逾萬呎的「主席屋」,套現後即投資民生商場。
疫情下核心區舖位投資氣氛欠佳,相反民生區商場屢獲承接,如投資者林子峰早前以13.6億元,沽出大埔運頭塘商場,總樓面約8萬平方呎,持貨6年,大幅獲利5.5億元,新買家為華創,購入作收租。
另有代理表示,尖沙咀廣東道30號新港中心一座 10樓05室現招租,建築面積約2,452平方呎,意向呎租約35元,涉及月租約8.5萬元。

Russell Street rent yo-yo stays on downswing
The rent of a 1,100-square-foot shop in Russell Street in Causeway Bay - once one of the most expensive commercial streets in the world - has slumped 90 percent from its peak to HK$300,000.
The shop on the ground floor will be turned into an accessories store under a new long lease, with a rent about 77 percent lower than the previous long lease contract.
During the peak season for travelers from the mainland years ago, it was rented by a optical store in a chain for HK$2.50 million. That lease ended in 2020.
Meanwhile, an application by Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) to build 65 percent more homes, or 2,589 units, on a site in Kwu Tung is set to get the green light from the Town Planning Board tomorrow.
In the primary market, Wang On Properties (1243) has unveiled a first price list for its Larchwood project in Mong Kok, which offers 50 flats. The cheapest is HK$3.83 million.
Wang On won the redevelopment tender for over HK$326 million in 2020.
In earning news, K Wah International's (0173) core profit increased by 1.2 times year-on-year to HK$1.06 billion for the first half of 2022 thanks to new projects in the mainland being well received and stable rental income. Net profit for the first half climb 39 percent yearly to HK$1.08 million, while its total revenue soared 79 percent to HK$5.79 billion.
There was an unchanged interim dividend of 7 HK cents.
In other news, the one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate, on which mortgage borrowing costs are based, rose to 1.80327 percent yesterday in ending a decline after four days.

Chinese state-backed developers COLI, Poly Property book smaller profits as ‘three red lines’ stokes worst rout in home sales since 1998
China Overseas Land & Investment reported a 19 per cent drop in interim earnings while Poly Property suffered a 9 per cent decline
K Wah, controlled by casino tycoon Lui Chee-woo, bucked the trend with a 39 per cent gain in income
Two of China’s biggest state-backed developers reported a drop in interim earnings as sporadic Covid-19 lockdowns and debt defaults kept homebuyers at bay, stoking the worst slump in home sales in 24 years.
Earnings at China Overseas Land & Investment (COLI) shrank by 19 per cent to 16.7 billion yuan (US$2.43 billion) in the six months to June 30, the company said in an exchange filing in Hong Kong. At Poly Property Group, income fell 9.2 per cent to HK$1.51 billion (US$192 million).
Property developers have struggled with waning consumer confidence as city lockdowns close factories and unsettle businesses. China’s economy grew 0.4 per cent in the second quarter versus 4.8 per cent in the preceding three months, while the fallout from Beijing’s “three red lines” policy has triggered more than US$20 billion of debt defaults among the nation’s weakest home builders.
“Mainland China’s economy is facing the triple pressure of reduced demand, tightening supply and weakening expectations,” COLI chairman and executive director Yan Jianguo said in the earnings statement. Higher US rates, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and soaring energy costs also added to risks, he added.
Weaker personal income and a liquidity crisis sent domestic home sales tumbling every month from July 2021 to June 2022, Yan said, the longest market rout since China reformed its domestic housing system in 1998.
China introduced the three red lines policy in August 2020 to stem systemic risk from overleveraged developers, triggering a liquidity crisis by shutting weak developers out of the loan and bond markets and precipitating some US$29 billion of debt defaults since the start of 2021. The property sector accounts for about one-fifth to a quarter of China’s gross domestic product by economists’ estimates.
Separately, debt-laden Guangzhou R&F Properties said its interest-bearing debt fell by 20 per cent to 129 billion yuan at the end of December from a year earlier. No update was given about its debt load as of June 30. The firm has 62 billion yuan of debt maturing this year, while holding talks with creditors to restructure 7 billion yuan of overdue borrowings.
Both COLI and Poly Property said their cash position remained healthy at the end of June. COLI had a cash equivalent of 125.32 billion yuan against total debt of 269.82 billion yuan, or a net gearing ratio of 41 per cent. Poly Property’s bank balances grew 11 per cent from a year earlier to HK$40.6 billion.
“There is an increasing pressure on the real estate market” in the face of a severe and persistent pandemic, Poly Property’s chairman Wan Yuqing said in a statement. Sales of commodity properties fell by 29 per cent and property development investment shrank by 5.4 per cent, he added.
COLI will pay a dividend of HK$0.40 per share in October, while Poly Property did not declare any. COLI’s shares jumped 1.5 per cent to HK$19.80 while Poly Property was unchanged at HK$1.57.
K Wah International, a Hong Kong-based developer controlled by casino billionaire Lui Che-woo, bucked the gloomy trend of poorer reports from local peers. The firm’s net income jumped 39 per cent to HK$1.08 billion from a year earlier. It proposed to pay HK$0.07 dividend per share. K Wah shares gained 0.3 per cent to HK$2.99.

上月整體甲廈空置率升至9.6%
有外資代理行最新發表的地產市場報告指出,由於7月有數個具規模的寫字樓單位重投市場,同時正值寫字樓傳統租賃淡季,導致本港整體甲廈空置率升至9.6%。
7月的整體甲廈空置率較6月的9.4%略為上升,其中,中環空置率由6月的7.9%上升至8.2%,九龍東空置率則回落至12.6%。
代理行:中環區8.2%
該行代理表示,7月及8月為寫字樓市場的傳統淡季,再加上大部分國家已重新開放邊境,不少企業的管理層均離境外遊,因此,這兩月市況較淡靜。該行相信,寫字樓租賃交投將在未來幾個月見改善。
由於上月有一座政府大樓於啟德落成,導致7月整體甲廈錄217000方呎淨吸納量,月內較矚目的辦公室擴張個案為遠東宏信租用西九龍環球貿易廣場 10100方呎樓面,屬現址擴張。另外,共享工作空間營運商IWG同樣在上述大廈租用33000方呎樓面以配合辦公室擴張。
該行另一代理表示,7月整體甲廈租金按月進一步下跌0.1%。中環、灣仔及銅鑼灣租金皆錄得輕微跌幅,分別下跌0.1%和0.2%,而尖沙嘴租金則微升0.3%。

恒基統一大坑舊樓業權
港島區地皮新供應罕有,不少財團密密透過強拍舊樓增土儲;恒基併購的大坑新村街舊樓,昨日在拍賣會中,由手持「1號牌」的恒基執行董事黃浩明,在無對手下以底價5.887億投得,成功統一業權發展,每呎樓面地價約14545元;是該公司今年迄今第三個透過強拍途徑統一業權的舊樓項目,涉及總金額約25.227億。
該舊樓群位於新村街17及17A、18、19、21、22、23、24及25號,現址由5幢5至7層高舊樓組成,地下為商鋪,樓上為住宅樓層等;地盤面積約4497方呎,涉及可建總樓面約40473方呎。
黃浩明:發展精品住宅
黃浩明表示,地盤面積不大,料發展精品住宅,主打細單位為主,認為大坑有一定商業價值,料日後項目將設地鋪。由於本港舊樓較多,認為市區重建是增加房屋供應的方法之一,支持降低強拍門檻;樓市短期內仍受制於疫情發展,料樓價直至年底仍會平穩發展。
安達臣道商業地今截標
市區再有商業地供應,觀塘安達臣道對出(測量約份第3約地段1078號)的「蚊型」商業地將於今日截標,地盤面積約6.3萬方呎,可建總樓面約13.9萬方呎。綜合市場估值約6億至9.1億,每方呎樓面地價約4300至6500元。業內人士指,安達臣道新發展區,地盤附近用地大部分正進行平整及其他前期工程,基建配套尚未充分落實,料財團出價保守。

中海外4.25億沽土瓜灣海悅廣場
受疫情等因素打擊,鋪位市場觀望氣氛籠罩,惟市區鋪位仍備受實力買家追捧,再錄大手成交。消息指,由中國海外持有的土瓜灣海悅廣場以約4.25億連一籃子車位易手,買家為俊業集團。
俊業集團承接
市場消息指,由中國海外持有的土瓜灣馬頭圍道209號海悅豪庭基座商場海悅廣場,包括項目兩層地庫、地鋪及1至2樓商場,總建築樓面39147方呎,同時亦包括42個車位,以約4.25億易手,呎價約10856元,買家為俊業集團。
本報昨日就上述消息向中國海外作出查詢,惟該集團表示對該買賣不作回應。
據業內人士指出,中國海外早前持有該項目作收租用途,該商場商戶組合包括連鎖快餐店、酒樓及美容中心等,惟於2020年中將該項目推出市場放售,意向價為4.5億,經多番議價磋商後,以約4.25億售出。
俊業集團執行董事吳天偉早前接受本報訪問時表示,自從接手家族生意後,他先是翻新旗下錦綉花園商場,疫市下表現不俗,租金錄得雙位數的升幅,接着於旺角及長沙灣購入2幢商廈,看中舊區商機,將打造「民生商廈」,總投資額3.5億。

中環商廈每呎逾2.16萬推售 資本策略何樂輝:樓花期一年半
疫下商廈鋪位表現不濟,惟發展商拆售工商新盤去貨甚快,資本策略趁勢拆售旗下中環銀座式商廈「92 Wellington」,樓花期一年半,該集團執行董事何樂輝表示,以全層形式推售,呎價逾2.1萬,平過同區樓面地價。
資本策略積極拓展中環蘇豪區,既有收租的銀座式商廈,亦有發展中的重頭項目,最新推售一幢商廈樓花,威靈頓街92號「92 Wellington」,佔地只有約3000呎,率先推7層樓面,建築面積由2371方呎至3056方呎,入場由5678.854萬至6646.66萬。平均呎價由2.16萬至2.395萬。
位處威靈頓街92號
資本策略執行董事何樂輝表示,項目屬於「鋪契」,早於一年半之前籌劃時,預算每呎售價2.7萬至2.9萬,疫情未減褪,最終較意向價減幅25%,以現時呎價而言,比較同區樓面呎價廉宜,「麵包平過麵粉」。
「92 Wellington」樓花期一年半,預計關鍵日期2024年2月,樓高23層,項目來自舊樓併購,地盤面積約3000方呎,總樓面約4.5萬方呎,實用率60%,最高的5層,建築面積共11855方呎,天台約1200方呎,連命名權推售,意向3.3億,平均呎價2.78萬。
資本策略多年前推售同區些利街銀座式商廈 L L TOWER,亦是來自舊樓併購,項目於2018年旺市推售,當時平均呎價2.8萬至3.1萬,其中高層4層全層,作價逾2.9億,呎價高達3.36萬。
該集團旗下閣麟街48號餐飲大廈 FOCO 早前開幕,出租率60%,呎租由80元至110元,餘下6層待租,該廈聚集食肆,包括無國界料理餐廳、日式居酒屋、人氣美式曲奇店「Cookie DPT」及特色酒吧。該廈樓高25層,總樓面逾3.7萬方呎。
主力發展蘇豪區項目
資本策略重錘蘇豪區,區內最大型重建為嘉咸街C地盤,市建局收樓,資策夥拍永泰地產等於2017年10月以約116億奪得發展權,可建樓面逾43萬方呎,將重建商廈及酒店,基座為商場,樓面呎價近2.7萬。

核心區銀座商廈 交投回勇
近日整體市況較為淡靜,相對之下,核心區銀座式商廈買賣卻見逆市造好,成交量顯著回升,料因投資回報較為吸引。
近期發展商沽銀座商廈反應不俗,消息指,恒地 (00012) 旗下中環銀座式商廈安蘭街18號錄成交,涉及物業頂層28及29樓複式單位,合共面積約4,896平方呎,連同天台,以約1.73億元沽出,呎價約3.5萬元。單位現由餐廳租用,月租約44.1萬元,回報率約3.1厘。據了解,該廈大部分租戶為餐廳。
安蘭街18號頂層複式 1.73億沽
翻查資料,安蘭街18號於2013年開售,當時正值投資氣氛高峰,開價每呎約4萬元起。按現時最頂層單位成交呎價計,已較高峰期明顯回落。目前發展商仍持有9層樓面收租。
至於較大型銀座式商廈銷售項目,為宏安地產 (01243) 旗下商廈旺角彌敦道575號,該廈近日再錄成交,涉及物業17樓全層,面積約1,237平方呎,以約2,802萬元成交,呎價約2.26萬元。
物業樓高共19層,每層均採用1梯1伙設計,建築面積由1,237至2,083平方呎不等,均附設獨立空調系統及洗手間。宏安7月中起拆售旺角彌敦道575號商廈,不足1個月沽出12層樓上舖及1個地舖,沽出樓上舖樓面涉及物業3至16樓 (不設4、13及14樓),套現超過4億元。樓上舖建築面積為1,237平方呎,售價介乎約2,300萬至2,700萬元,大部分樓層均連有租約出售,租務回報率約3厘。
銅鑼灣羅素街樓上舖錄蝕讓
另一核心區銅鑼灣錄銀座式商廈蝕讓個案,銅鑼灣羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心18樓全層,面積約4,718平方方呎,早前業主以1.2億元放售,最終以約1.07億元售出,呎價約22,679元,買賣透過轉讓公司股份形式進行。該層樓面由美容中心以每月約16.5萬元租用。
根據資料顯示,中建富通 (00138) 主席麥紹棠於2014年初,以約1.49億元購入上址,持貨8年,帳面虧損約4,200萬元,物業貶值約28%。翻查資料,里昂證券旗下基金在2013年底斥資約18億元購入銅鑼灣羅素街8號5樓至29樓共22層樓面,其後在2014年2月起拆售。麥紹棠斥近2.98億元購入18樓及19樓兩層,先後售出,其中19樓全層獲港鐵 (00066) 前主席馬時亨長女劉馬露明及其丈夫劉仲恒於以資約1.1億元承接,麥紹棠帳面損手約3,900萬元離場,連同最新售出的18樓,麥紹棠共套現2.17億元,帳面合共蝕約8,100萬元。
分析指,整體工商物業已有所調整,投資價值稍提高,而加息在即下,投資者尋求有租金收入物業作投資。銀座式商廈過往2年交投相對淡靜,直至最近不論大業主或小業主,降價放售,而樓面多由餐廳、美容等行業租用,提供穩定收租收入,故在逆市下獲投資者留意。

安達臣道商地今截標 估值5.6億至10億
觀塘安達臣道商業地今日截標,市場估值約5.6億至10億元。
有測量師指,區內華懋旗下新盤安峯明年可入伙,而長實 (01113) 首置盤則料於2026年初完工,區內亦將有資助房屋居民。
同時,觀塘半山一帶現時以秀茂坪商場的面積最大,逾20萬平方呎,而安達邨和安泰邨的商舖不多,只有40多間,若本地皮日後發展為民生商場,發展風險不高。
住宅漸落成 發展商場風險不高
另外,該測量師又指,該區第二幅商業地亦已納入2022/23年度賣地計劃中,若最終兩商業地均由同一發展商奪標,相信租金回報會更理想。
上述地皮佔地約6.3萬平方呎,總樓面約13.9萬平方呎,市場對地皮的估值介乎約5.6億至10億元,每平方呎樓面地價約4,000至7,200元。

Hong Kong Covid-19 curbs weigh on developers, as earnings tumble by as much as 60 per cent
Sino Land says profit for full year ending June decreased by 40.5 per cent from a year ago
Shun Tak Holdings says interim earnings slumped by 51.3 per cent, while Shui On Land reports 58 per cent drop
Covid-19 restrictions dragged on the profits of Hong Kong developers in the January to June period, with declines ranging from 40.5 per cent to 58 per cent, filings with the Hong Kong stock exchange on Thursday show.
Sino Land, which is part of the Sino Group owned by billionaire Robert Ng Chee Siong and keeps to a July to June financial year, said its profit for the full year ending June amounted to HK$5.7 billion (US$726 million), a decrease of 40.5 per cent from a year ago. It declared a final dividend of HK$0.42 per share to be payable on November 2. Its share price retreated by 0.34 per cent to HK$11.62 each on Thursday.
“Uncertainties surrounding the intermittent waves of Covid-19 resurgence, ongoing geopolitical risks, restrictions on travel, rising inflationary pressure and interest rate hikes combined have brought interruption to the global economy,” Ng said.
“As we step into financial year 2022-2023, the group will remain vigilant in monitoring market developments, whilst proactively facing challenges and seizing opportunities ahead.”
Sino Hotels, a subsidiary, meanwhile trimmed its losses by 3.06 per cent to HK$92.4 million for the financial year.
“Before the fifth wave of the Covid-19 outbreak in Hong Kong in January 2022, the performance of the group’s hotels generally improved due to the government’s relaxation of social distancing measures, driven by an improvement in food and beverages and staycation businesses in Hong Kong. However, tightened social distancing measures were introduced again on January 7, 2022 as a result of the fifth wave … which adversely affected the hotels’ performances,” Ng said.
Sino Hotels, whose portfolio includes City Garden Hotel in Fortress Hill and the Conrad Hong Kong in Admiralty, which has joined the government’s quarantine hotel scheme since June, did not declare a dividend. Its shares closed unchanged at HK$1.90 apiece.
Tsim Sha Tsui Properties, another listed company under Sino Group, said its profit fell 40.4 per cent to HK$3.1 billion in the period. It proposed a final dividend of HK$0.42 per share to be payable on December 6. Its shares were also unchanged at HK$22.30 each.
Shun Tak Holdings, one of the flagship companies controlled by the family that dominates Macau’s gambling industry, said its interim earnings had slumped by 51.3 per cent to HK$228.5 million. Shun Tak, which also has projects in Singapore and mainland China, did not declare a dividend. Its shares gained 0.74 per cent to HK$1.36 each at trading’s close on Thursday.
Shui On Land, the flagship property company of Hong Kong-based Shui On group, reported that its profits fell 58 per cent to 450 million yuan (US$65.4 million) in the first half of the year.
Its property sales contracted by more than three quarters to 2.4 billion yuan although rental related income from property investment “was stable”, according to its filing. Its projects on the mainland include those in Shanghai, which was under a two-month lockdown this year to contain Covid-19 infections.
Shui On declared a dividend of HK$0.036 per share to be payable on September 23. Its shares closed 1.04 per cent higher at HK$0.97 each.
(South China Morning Post)上月甲廈空置樓面創新高 外資代理行代理︰多達1000萬方呎
受疫情及美國聯儲局連番加息影響,甲廈市場陰霾密布。有外資代理行代理接受本報訪問時指出,今年7月甲廈空置樓面衝上1000萬方呎大關,創歷來新高水平,等同五幢國際金融中心二期,空置率高達12.3%,加上新供應「排隊」出場,涉及面積達700萬方呎,預測今年底空置率將攀升至14.8%,將打破自1999年紀錄,空置樓面高踞不下,料明年整體甲廈租金跌約5%至10%。
該代理指出,受疫情等因素打擊,整體甲廈市場表現持續回軟,據該行統計資料顯示,今年7月底甲廈市場空置樓面已達1000萬方呎,創歷來新高水平,回顧市場對上空置樓面為1999年,然而,當時空置樓面僅約840萬方呎,故最新空置樓面較舊紀錄高約19%,反映現今甲廈市場表現疲弱。
等同5幢國際金融中心二期
該代理續說,受社會運動於2019年中爆發,為甲廈市場近年的「分水嶺」,加上新冠疫情緊接於2020年爆發,受多項負面因素夾擊,隨本港經濟基調持續惡化,甲廈市場表現急走下坡,部分企業紛縮減規模以求存,令市場吸納量由正轉為負,市場迄今錄負吸納量達300萬方呎。
700萬方呎新供應出台
事實上,甲廈市場錄1000萬方呎空置樓面,該數字相當驚人,以指標甲廈中環國際金融中心二期為例,該廈總樓面約200萬方呎計,故最新空置樓面等同五幢國際金融中心二期。
代理續指出,上月甲廈市場空置率報12.3%,以現今市況估計,加上市場供應可說是「排住隊」出場,環顧市場於今年及明年供應高達700萬方呎,市場於短期內難以消化,故預測空置率持續上升,料今年底該數字將上升至14.8%,屆時將打破自1999年14.4%舊紀錄,然而,該代理強調當年市場佔比14.4%的樓面遠遠低於現今水平,故若以空置率計,未能反映現今實際市況。
料明年租金跌5%至10%
當被問及甲廈市場何時可走出低谷,該代理指,市場憧憬中港兩地有機於年底前通關,屆時中資企業勢將回歸,對市場需求具一定刺激作用,故料明年甲廈租金下跌約5%至10%。

財團申強拍跑馬地舊樓
市區豪宅用地供應稀少,近年不少財團紛紛轉向豪宅區舊樓「埋手」密密併購。由財團併購的跑馬地翠景樓舊樓、最新向土地審裁處申請強拍,以統一業權發展,目前持有逾83%業權,市場估值逾7.06億。
翠景樓位於黃泥涌道55至57號,據土地審裁處文件顯示,目前該財團持有約83.33%業權,餘下6個單位未成功收購,包括1個地鋪及5個住宅單位,地鋪市場估值約6213萬,5個住宅單位市場估值約1347萬至1796萬,市場對整個項目估值7.0681億。
市場估值逾7億
上述舊樓位於跑馬地黃泥涌道及雲地利道的豪宅地段,毗鄰馬場,落成後料不少單位可享馬場景,同時項目鄰近銅鑼灣核心商業地段,極具重建價值。現址為一幢樓高13層的商住物業,地下為商鋪,樓上為住宅,該幢舊樓早於1967年落成入伙,至今樓齡約55年。
文件顯示,根據該舊樓分割契據 (Deed Poll) 地盤面積約6646方呎,惟據今年6月調查顯示,上址地盤面積約6371方呎,若以地積比率5倍重建發展,可建總樓面約31855方呎。
持有83%業權
除上述項目外,該舊樓毗鄰亦有不少舊樓獲發展商收購,其中黃泥涌道59至61號愉華大廈,今年初錄14宗買賣,包括12伙住宅及2個地鋪,合共以4.68億成交,當中住宅成交價由約2408萬至約2931萬,平均呎價約3.1萬,涉及買賣金額約達3.188億。
至於黃泥涌道63至65號安美大廈早前亦錄19宗成交,包括16個住宅單位及3個鋪位,總成交額約4.12億,當中住宅成交價1156.3萬至2153.8萬,呎價約2.86萬至3.45萬,鋪位成交價由2025萬至1.15億,最貴一個鋪位為地下B鋪及地庫,建築面積約2400方呎。
資料顯示,土地審裁處年初至今共接獲17宗強拍申請,對比去年全年的16宗多出1宗。

Covid, rate hikes and economy weigh on secondary market
Worries on interest rate hikes, the economy and the Covid pandemic, as well as competition from the primary market dragged down weekend transactions in 10 major housing estates to a four-week low.
The data from property agencies showed that only nine transactions were recorded in the 10 tracked housing estates during the past weekend, down 55 percent from 20 deals recorded over the previous weekend.
The number of estates that went without a deal also rose to six over the past two days, including Kornhill Gardens in Quarry Bay, South Horizons in Ap Lei Chau, Mei Foo Sun Chuen, City One Shatin, Metro City in Tseung Kwan O, and Caribbean Coast in Tung Chung.
A property agent said that home viewings had plummeted with daily new Covid infections rising past the 8,000 mark in the city and it was possible that the Hong Kong government may tighten social distancing curbs again, which would further impact viewings.
Also, potential buyers in the secondary market were adopting a wait-and-see policy amid interest rate hikes, while developers were drawing more home buyers with low prices in the primary market.
However, another property agent said that transactions in the secondary market would rebound if sellers kept reducing their asking prices, though deals for new homes would continue to dominate the market in the short term.
Meanwhile, the primary market continued to sizzle with Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) revealing it had sold 1,538 homes at Novo Land in Tuen Mun and cashed in a total of HK$9.4 billion so far.
After selling all 170 flats in price lists and three homes by tender for a total of HK$1.03 billion on Saturday, the developer has cleared 95 percent of the stock in phase 1 of Novo Land since it launched sales at the end of July.
SHKP said it has applied for presale consent for phase 2B of the project to offer 729 flats, most of which are one- and two-bedroom units.
Andy Chan Hon-lun, the developer's real estate agency general manager, said sales of phase 2 are expected to be launched by the end of this year.

Hong Kong home prices hit lowest level in more than 2 years, may lose another 10 per cent amid rising interest rates
Home prices fell 1.6 per cent in July and have dropped 4.5 per cent this year, according to the government’s index
Prices could sink an additional 10 per cent this year amid buyer hesitancy linked to interest rates, analysts say
Hong Kong home prices fell by 1.6 per cent in July, sinking to a nearly 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 trend is likely to continue, with one analyst predicting prices could drop as much as another 10 per cent through the rest of the year.
The government’s index of overall home prices in the city, released on Monday by the Rating and Valuation Department, dropped to 376.1 in July from 382.4 in June.
So far this year, home prices have tumbled 4.5 per cent, and the July reading is only slightly above the 373.4 recorded in February 2020. July was also the third consecutive month that prices of lived-in homes declined.
The Hong Kong economy slipped into a recession in the second quarter, contracting by 1.4 per cent after slumping by 3.9 per cent in the previous quarter.
With Hong Kong’s current Covid-19 restrictions, including a mandatory hotel quarantine for international arrivals, likely to remain in force, home prices are also likely to remain depressed for the rest of the year.
“We expect the index to continue to bottom out in August to September,” a property agent said. “Our view is that residential prices are expected to be under pressure in the short term – in the upcoming two to three months – but it would resume positive growth once the market has absorbed the negative news associated with the interest rate hike.”
The agent expects that new home prices to remain steady now, but said the secondary mass residential market is likely to decline between 3 per cent and 5 per cent by the end of the year.
Mortgage payments linked to the Hibor, or Hong Kong interbank rate – the rate banks charge each other for borrowing money – have risen since the US Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in March.
Earlier this month, HSBC, one of Hong Kong’s note-issuing banks, raised the cap for its Hibor-linked home loans to 2.75 per cent from 2.5 per cent for new applications. Standard Chartered, another note-issuing bank in Hong Kong, followed suit.
As the city’s prime lending rate is tipped to follow the interbank rate and rise for the first time in four years, potential homebuyers are likely to hold off on purchasing homes.
“Given the uncertainties in the prime rate upward adjustment with the continuing Hibor hike, home price declines will continue,” another agent said. “We are expecting another 10 per cent decline for the rest of 2022.”
The agent noted that in September 2018 when Hong Kong’s prime rate increased for the first time in 10 years, adding about 0.125 per cent, home prices saw a 9 per cent drop by February 2019 and then bounced back by 11 per cent within three months thereafter.
“We will see a similar trend for the second half of 2022,” the agent said. “We will see that the market will respond to the prime rate increase, but from the first quarter next year, we will see the market rebound as long as there is no sixth wave [of Coronavirus infections],” she said.
The agent echoed this view, saying that after a short-term hit, the potential reopening of Hong Kong’s borders will buoy home prices over the next 12 months.
According to the Rating and Valuation Department, prices for flats with at least 752 square feet fell 1.7 per cent in July, while prices for flats smaller than that decreased by 0.13 per cent.
Meanwhile, home rents across the city rose by 0.6 per cent in July compared with the previous month. So far this year, however, rents have been on a downward trend, retreating by 2.1 per cent, official data showed.

遠東金融中心既享港鐵金鐘站核心優勢,而物業景觀佳,整體質素冠絕同區。
遠東金融中心位於金鐘核心商業段,由港鐵站出口步行至該廈,需時僅約5分鐘。金鐘站絕對為港鐵核心車站,因近年兩條新港鐵綫,南港島綫及東港島綫皆通往,前往南區亦僅10至15分鐘車程,數月前東鐵綫過海段通車,現時金鐘與新界區如大圍、沙田等車程縮短。另大廈地下設有巴士總站,而金鐘道亦有多個巴士站,以及電車站,非常方便。
大廈與金鐘主要商廈如海富中心、統一中心、金鐘廊及太古廣場等,以天橋連接,四通八達,適合商務人士前往同區不同辦公室。
飲食及生活配套方面,物業地庫、地下及高層地下等為商舖用途,物業由發展商信置 (00083) 持有及管理,管理上較同區散業權商廈完善,現時商場設有快餐店、米綫店及連鎖壽司店等價廉餐廳。另外,亦可前往太古廣場用膳,商場餐廳甚多,而萬豪酒店、香格里拉酒店及港麗酒店等,可提供高級商務午餐。
每層面積10800呎
物業於1982年落成,樓高41層,金色玻璃幕牆的外觀,於同區甚為突出。電梯大堂設於1樓,可從門口扶手電梯上,而大堂樓層接駁至金鐘廊。
每層單位面積約10,800平方呎,而最細單位面積由1,000餘平方呎起。景觀為物業一大優勢,單位主要望向中環添馬公園一帶,不受遮擋,中高層單位已享有海景,低層景觀同樣開揚。
造價方面,該廈呎價不僅冠絕金鐘,更曾是港甲廈指標,2018年物業29樓全層,以5.68億元易手,呎價5.26萬元,成物業呎價新指標,亦成本港商廈呎價第二高單位。不過,近兩年受疫情影響,整體甲廈造價下跌,去年物業低層單位成交,呎價約25,424元,較同層單位高峰期呎價回落一半。
租務上,本年大廈錄數宗租務,年初物業30樓全層,面積約1.08萬平方呎,成交呎租約55元。物業對上一宗租務,為4月份2904室,面積約2,980平方呎,以每呎約55元租出。

整體甲廈7月空置率 升至9.6%
疫情令甲廈需求疲弱,有外資代理行指,上月整體甲級寫字樓空置率升至9.6%。
該行最新發表的市場報告中指出,由於7月有數個具規模的寫字樓單位重投市場,同時正值寫字樓傳統租賃淡季,導致香港整體甲級寫字樓空置率升至9.6%。7月的整體甲級寫字樓空置率較6月的9.4%略為上升,其中,中環空置率由6月的7.9%上升至8.2%,而九龍東空置率則回落至12.6%。
預計租務未來數月見改善
該行代理表示,7月及8月為寫字樓市場的傳統淡季,再加上大部分國家已重新開放邊境,不少企業的管理層均離境外遊,因此這兩月市況較淡靜。他相信寫字樓市場的租賃交投將會在未來幾個月見改善。若本地政府完全撤銷隔離措施,預料會為寫字樓租賃市場帶來突破性需求。
由於上月有一座政府大樓於啟德落成,導致7月整體甲級寫字樓市場錄得217,000平方呎淨吸納量。月內較矚目的辦公室擴張個案為遠東宏信租用西九龍環球貿易廣場 10,100平方呎樓面 (建築面積),屬現址擴張。另外,共享工作空間營運商IWG同樣在上述大廈租用33,000平方呎樓面 (建築面積) 以配合辦公室擴張。
該行另一代理表示,7月整體甲級寫字樓租金按月進一步下跌0.1%。主要分區市場中,中環和灣仔/銅鑼灣租金皆錄得輕微跌幅,分別下跌0.1%和0.2%,而尖沙咀租金則微升0.3%。

新港中心中層招租 意向呎租約35
尖沙咀新港中心中層單位招租,意向呎租約35元。
面積2452呎 叫租8.5萬
有代理表示,新港中心一座 10樓05室,建築面積約2,452平方呎,意向呎租約35元,涉及月租約8.5萬元。許氏表示,是次招租單位位處中層,實用率逾7成,已配有全寫字樓裝修,現由教學團體租用,並將於11月遷出。
許氏續稱,新港中心屬尖沙咀區內甲級指標商廈,不少知名機構及公司都屬長期租客,如香港酒店業協會、通利琴行有限公司、共享品牌Compass Offices等。
根據一間代理行的資料統計,新港中心 7月份空置率約4.64%,較上月再減約0.01個百分點;7月份尖沙咀西部整體空置率為12.08%,對比之下反映該廈租賃表現不俗,較整體理想。代理指,是次放租物業屬核心區矜罕單位,業主意向租金叫價亦見克制,目前該廈有8個單位招租,意向租金介乎每呎32至41元不等。

中環中心呎租38元低10%交吉逾三年始租出
疫市下核心區甲廈租金急下滑,曾由資深投資者蔡志忠拆售的中環中心 22樓,其一個單位交吉逾3年後,以每呎約38元租出,低市價約10%,回報低見1.19厘;業內人士指,疫情走勢反覆,加上甲廈市場正處供應高峰期,令甲廈租金持續受壓。
每月租金9.88萬
市場消息透露,中環中心 22樓8室,建築面積約2601方呎,新以每呎約38元租出,低市價約10%,月租約98838元租出,業主於2019年5月向蔡志忠購入,因當時正值市場高峰期,購入價高達約9967.7萬,每呎造價38322元,若以最新租金計,租金回報僅約1.19厘。
中遠大廈呎租48元跌17%
事實上,該指標甲廈近期租金明顯受壓,資料顯示,該廈同層11室,建築面積約3184方呎,於本月初以每呎約37元租出,創該甲廈12年以來新低水平,月租約117808元。
另一方面,由紀惠集團持有的上環中遠大廈中層11至13室,建築面積約6689方呎,以每呎約48元租出,月租約321072元,較舊租金每呎約58元下跌約17%。
據地產代理指出,受疫情等因素影響,令甲廈租務需求急速放緩,加上現時市場正處供應高峰期,交吉樓面持續湧現,對商戶而言,寫字樓實在不愁租,令部分業主議幅持續擴闊,造成市場租金持續受壓。

他又說,隨着中高檔住宅市場的用家,對居住需求持續上升,集團主攻年輕家庭客戶,計畫將該項目改裝成兩房戶,數目為25伙,切合家庭的需要,同時,就去年8月開業的同區醫院道項目,帶來協同效應。
提供25伙兩房戶
領盛亞太區聯席首席投資官兼大中華區主管唐瑾表示,集團與 WEAVE LIVING 合作,持續在香港和新加坡建立多戶型住宅物業組合。
事實上,WEAVE LIVING 早前亦以合營企業形式,向德祥地產購入大角嘴九龍珀麗酒店,作價13.75億,同時亦於今年5月夥拍美資基金安祖高頓 (Angelo Gordon),以9億購入西環皇后大道西338號至346號華麗都會酒店全幢,以項目樓面約60150方呎計,呎價約14960元,該酒店提供214間房間,每間房間售價約420萬,故該主攻共居及服務式住宅品牌於今年以來連購三項目,合共斥資約25.5億。

由銀主持有的北角堡壘街66號及建華街57號住宅地盤,地盤面積約3248方呎,委託外資測量師行標售,市值約3.3億,較上一手業主於4年前的購入價低約1.37億,貶值幅度約29%。

新樂酒店「重生」月租逾100萬 旅館集團傳簽4年約 客房平均6250元
新冠疫情困擾本港逾兩年半,最受嚴重打擊的酒店業亦重新洗牌,近70年歷史的佐敦新樂酒店於兩年前結業,之後一直丟空。據悉,原有10層酒店部分,近期獲一家經營旅館的集團租用,料月租逾100萬元,令這座歷史悠久的物業「重生」。
新樂酒店位於彌敦道223號,於上世紀五十年代開業,曾是香港老牌酒店之一,當年是不少粵語片明星出入的勝地,但2020年6月不敵疫情而結業。該樓高11層的酒店,原本提供160間客房,結業後房間一直丟空,而酒店地下舖位則仍有租戶。
長租形式營運 每單位1.28萬起
消息人士表示,物業的1至10樓酒店部分,獲一家經營旅館的集團洽租,最終成功租出,月租估計逾100萬元,以160間客房計算,平均每間房月租約6250元,租期初步為4年。
據了解,新租戶沿用酒店昔日的設備及保留大部分裝修,但並非以日租酒店形式營運,而是以長租形式出租房間,每個單位建築面積約240至300方呎,租期由一個月起,與坊間的服務式住宅無異,每個單位意向月租由1.28萬元起。據悉,新租戶亦把酒店部分位置改裝成共用廚房,方便長租住戶煮食。
新樂酒店由已故「酒店大王」許讓成建立,地皮亦由許讓成家族持有,佔地9057方呎,物業曾於2018年推出市場放售,估值25億至30億元,但未有售出。物業在新樂酒店結束營運兩年後再度租出,意味許氏家族繼續保留收租。
新樂酒店附近亦曾錄全幢酒店承租,資料顯示,廉價旅館集團 Koalabeds 今年7月起以每月42萬元租用尖沙咀彌敦道182號全幢,共有51間客房,平均每間房月租約8235元。該物業近期已完成翻新,並以 metacity living 品牌營運,平日每日房租由700元起。
蘇民峰上環物業5層6.5萬租出
該物業在2019年初由已故「舖王」鄧成波的兒子鄧耀昇旗下酒店集團承租經營酒店,月租曾高達115萬元,但受到社會事件及疫情打擊而結業,現時最新租金比3年前低73萬元或63.5%。
此外,知名堪輿學家蘇民峰今年2月斥資5200萬元購入上環文咸東街87號全幢物業,地下及閣樓建築面積共1030方呎,1樓至5樓每層建築面積約600方呎,合共總建築面積約4030方呎,呎價約1.29萬元。當時只有地下及閣樓獲順豐速遞租用,月租7.5萬元,樓上則交吉。
據知,1樓至5樓最新獲一家經營出租住宅的集團以大包租形式租用,月租6.5萬元,以該5層總建築面積約3000方呎計算,呎租約22元;連同地下及閣樓租金在內,全幢月租收入共14萬元,蘇民峰享3.2厘租金回報。

Couples targeted with Mid-Levels property deal
Rental accommodation provider Weave Living has acquired a residential building on Robinson Road for HK$275 million through a joint venture with real estate management firm LaSalle Investment Management.
It plans to transform the property into 25 two-bedroom apartments, catering to the needs of young couples and families.
The building at 68 Robinson Road, which is Weave Living's fourth acquisition this year, is expected to welcome its first tenant in the second quarter of next year.
Meanwhile, a residential redevelopment project in North Point with an estimated value of HK$330 million has been put on the market for tender.
The property located at 66 Fort Street and 57 Kin Wah Street has a site area of 3,248 square feet with a maximum composite plot ratio of 10.2 for redevelopment, according to a property agency. The tender will close on October 21.
Elsewhere, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) expects sales in its seven shopping malls including Moko and New Town Plaza to jump by up to 30 percent in the second half boosted by its HK$40 million give-away vouchers along with the government's consumption vouchers.
SHKP said the seven malls saw 15-20 percent growth in retail sales in July and August along with a "promising" foot traffic trend.
It expects footfall to keep rising in October when the second installment of the consumption vouchers is distributed.

Hong Kong developer V Group readies Causeway Bay serviced apartments and luxury houses on The Peak for sale amid market slump
V Group will offer 64 fully furnished units, ranging from 274 sq ft to 599 sq ft, at The Hayworth by V close to Causeway Bay MTR station
The privately owned developer also plans to put on sale four super deluxe houses at 20 Peak Road
Vivien Chan, dubbed as “the queen” of serviced apartments, is undeterred by the slump in Hong Kong’s property market, as she plans to sell flats in her company’s flagship serviced-apartment project in Causeway Bay and houses in a super deluxe project on The Peak.
The privately owned V Group will soon offer 64 of the 120 fully furnished units at The Hayworth by V, located at 9 Yee Wo Street. Previously called V Causeway Bay, it is close to Causeway Bay MTR station and has undergone a HK$200 million (US$25.5 million) renovation.
The developer also plans to put on sale four houses at 20 Peak Road by V on The Peak.
The move comes as home prices in Hong Kong dropped to a nearly two-and-a-half year low in July after peaking in September 2021, as higher borrowing cost saps demand.
“The lengthy Covid-19 pandemic has had some impact on the property market,” said Vivien Chan, founder and chairwoman of V Group.
The V Group bought the Causeway Bay property in 2008 for HK$286 million, said Chan. The prices of the units have not been finalised but will be set competitively, she added.
She also pointed out that no new fully furnished apartments equivalent to the five-star hotel category have been put on sale in Causeway Bay, one of the city’s main business and shopping districts.
Before the 21-storey tower was closed for renovation in mid-2020, the units had been leased to long-term tenants who included bankers, doctors, lawyers and accountants.
“We spent six months persuading tenants to move to another of our serviced apartment project in Causeway Bay. But some of them were not willing to move even though it was in the same district,” she said.
The group’s other serviced apartment, V Causeway Square, at 20 Tung Lo Wan Road, is a seven-minute walk to Causeway Bay MTR station.
Chan said she is confident about closing the sale because of the location, adding that some of her long-term tenants could be potential buyers.
The 64 units in the The Hayworth are located on the 8th to the 19th floors, and range from 274 sq ft to 599 sq ft. The remaining 56 units will be maintained as serviced apartments.
“Demand should be fine if these units are priced in line with the market trend,” a property agent said, adding that lived-in units in the area sell for HK$20,000 to HK$30,000 per square foot.
“These units will be attractive to young professionals as their size is not that big,” the agent said.
Assuming a price of HK$30,000 per square feet, the smallest unit could fetch around HK$8.2 million and the largest HK$17.9 million.
“I am not worried about the marketability of the 64 units,” Chan said. “I will keep them as serviced apartments if I’m not satisfied with the response.”
Apart from the Causeway Bay project, Chan said the V Group also plans to put on the market four houses at 20 Peak Road.
She said the indicative price for the houses, which range from 3,722 sq ft to 4,740 sq ft, was HK$100,000 per square foot. They come with gardens measuring 1,472 sq ft to 2,259 sq ft and private swimming pools.
“The rare supply of super deluxe houses on The Peak should be more resilient to fluctuations in the market,” the agent said.
V Group has invested HK$1.5 billion in the project, including the HK$750 million acquisition price eight years ago.
Actress Nicole Kidman, who came to Hong Kong to film the Amazon series “Expats”, rented one of the houses for a month last year, Chan said.
“I was approached by one of her crew who expressed an interest to rent a house even before we launched any marketing activity,” she said.
(South China Morning Post)安達臣道商業地共收5標書
本港疫情反覆,整體商業氣氛不景氣,惟市區再有商業地供應,觀塘安達臣道對出的商業地將於昨日截標,地政總署公布,共接獲5份標書;據現場所見及綜合市場消息,入標財團包括長實、新地、信和、領展及華懋。
長實新地信和領展華懋入標
有測量師指出,該發展區以中密度發展公、私營住宅用途,將來區內居民的日常消費,主要依靠發展區中央的兩幅商業地皮,料該地皮將來作為民生商場發展為主,風險並不高,惟因商業氣氛不景氣,料財團出價較保守。綜合市場估值約6億至9.1億,每方呎估值約4300至6500元。
上述安達臣道的「蚊型」商業地,位於安達臣道對出 (測量約份第3約地段1078號) 用地,鄰近公屋安達邨,地盤面積約6.3萬方呎,指定作非工業,不包括住宅、辦公室、酒店、倉庫及加油站用途,可建總樓面約13.9萬方呎,是政府自2018年推售該區地皮以來首次推出商業用地招標。
屯門大欖限呎地「捲土重來」
另外,今年4月流標的屯門大欖限呎地「捲土重來」重新推出招標,地政總署昨公布,推出屯門青山公路-大欖段的屯門市地段第561號住宅地招標,該地鄰近屯門公路,位於私樓琨崙以東;綜合市場最新估值約49.6億至65.3億,每方呎樓估值約3800至5000元,對比年初估值跌約20%。
地皮面積約36.29萬方呎,可建總樓面約130.64萬方呎,是政府為回應市民「住大啲」的訴求、首幅加入最低單位面積280方呎限制的用地。將於9月2日起招標,9月30日截標。該用地曾於今年4月首次推出時接獲5份標書,但因標書金額未達政府所定的底價,隨即流標收場;當時入標財團包括長實、新地、恒基、信和及嘉華。

Hong Kong buyers snatch up all flats on offer at Sun Hung Kai’s Novo Land ahead of city’s potential new prime rate increase
Buyers snatched up all of the 170 units on offer at the Novo Land project in Tuen Mun just four hours after sales commenced on Saturday
Speculation that major commercial banks, including HSBC and BOC Hong Kong, will push for a prime rate increase helped fuel demand
Hong Kong extended its latest streak of strong weekend property sales on Saturday, as buyers rushed to snap up flats on offer at Sun Hung Kai Properties’ (SHKP) Novo Land development, in a pre-emptive move ahead of a potential new prime rate increase in the city.
SHKP, the city’s biggest developer by market cap, sold all of the 170 units on offer at the second phase of its Novo Land project in Tuen Mun just four hours after sales commenced at 9am on Saturday, according to local real property agents and media.
“About 80 per cent of buyers [at Novo Land] are from the New Territories, and they are very positive on the outlook of the development in the northern part of the city,” a property agent said. “Lots of people piled in today after they failed to buy flats during Novo Land’s previous launches.”
By contrast, the 58 units on offer at Grand Victoria, a project in Cheung Sha Wan jointly developed by Wheelock Properties and Sino Land, found no buyers as of 3pm on Saturday.
The average sales price at Novo Land was HK$14,780 (US$1,883) per square foot, representing a 5.6 per cent increase from the initial launch of the development’s second phase in August and a 12 per cent gain from its first-phase offer last month. The size of units at Novo Land range from 242 square feet (22.5 square metres) to 708 square feet, which translates to a price band of between HK$3.5 million and HK$9.8 million.
The strong demand for flats at SHKP’s development on Saturday reflects the city’s robust streak of weekend sales in August, as developers provided discounts to attract more buyers.
Speculation that Hong Kong’s major commercial banks, including HSBC and BOC Hong Kong, will push for a prime rate increase also fuelled buying. The prime rate sets a reference to the mortgage rate.
Meanwhile, the average sales price at Grand Victoria was HK$26,508 per square foot, implying a 7.7 per cent increase from the development’s previous launch in March. The size of flats in the project range from 278 square feet to 807 square feet, which shows a price band of between HK$6.5 million and HK$22.9 million.
US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday asserted his stance to raise interest rates in a bid to drive down inflation at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, held in Wyoming. In July, the Fed raised the benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points for a second straight time in its most aggressive drive in three decades to tame high inflation.
While the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has raised its base lending rate – the borrowing cost charged on commercial lenders – each time the Fed tightened credit this year, HSBC and other note-issuing banks in the city have so far refrained from raising their prime rate, a move that analysts expect will erode margins.
Still, some economists predicted that the prime rate will rise by 25 basis points at the end of this year. The prime rate currently stands at 5 per cent at HSBC and its subsidiary Hang Seng Bank, as well as at BOC Hong Kong. Standard Chartered Bank and other local lenders have pegged their borrowing costs at 5.25 per cent.
In the previous cycle, the city’s banks waited through nine consecutive increments of 25 basis points increase by the HKMA before raising their prime rate by 12.5 basis points in 2018, passing some of the higher borrowing costs to customers for the first time in a decade.
Sentiment in Hong Kong’s property market has stabilised since June, when total transactions about newly built homes hit a 10-month high of about 1,300 units, according to another property agency. The property agency warned that housing demand may shrink moving forward because of new supply in the market and rising interest rates.
Hong Kong’s growth forecast this year could be lowered, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said last month, as business confidence has been dented by ongoing Covid-19 control measures and the city’s closed border with the mainland.

上月港島區甲廈空置率9.2%
受疫情及加息等因素打擊,甲廈市場陰霾密布。有外資代理行昨日發布市場報告,指港島區甲廈於今年7月空置率上升至9.2%,創自2003年「沙士」以來、即過去19年新高水平,區內甲廈平均呎租於上月報74元,按季跌約1.6%,當中柴灣及鰂魚涌甲廈租金按季跌幅分別為3.4%及2.9%。
代理行:沙士以來新高
該行指出,受今年第二季經濟表現遜於預期影響,商貿氛圍持續受壓,加上市場正處供應高峰期,令市場吸納量令人擔憂。於全面放寬邊境限制前,該行預計甲廈業主更願意提供靈活的租賃條款,並進一步調低租金,以應對即將推出市場的新超甲廈供應。直至今年年底,預計港島區甲廈租金由當前水平再進一步下降3%至5%。
料年底租金跌3至5%
至於零售市道方面,該行指出,由於缺乏入境旅遊,本港零售市場仍然脆弱,今年上半年,總零售銷貨額按年下跌2.6%,與2018年同期 (疫情前) 相比下跌超過30%,反映現時與疫情前零售市場表現的顯著變化,受零售市場氣氛疲軟打擊,促使業主拆分物業再出租,並進一步減租。
該行預計零售租金的下行壓力將持續一段時間,由於經濟前景不明朗、加息周期較為進取及股市波動,會進一步壓抑本地消費情緒,並對零售市場帶來相當大的壓力。然而,隨着較短的「3+4」檢疫安排為入境旅遊帶來利好消息,預料未來幾個月零售租賃交易的應該會增加。

粉嶺工業區轉型 發展數據物流中心
粉嶺安樂村工業區近年逐步轉型,基金、發展商購入區內工廈及工業地以發展數據中心、物流中心等用途,當中3個數據中心項目預計提供逾40萬平方呎樓面。
鄰近粉嶺聯和墟的安樂村工業區,範圍達351.1萬平方呎,現時屬於「工業」規劃用途。區內由98幢工業大廈,及政府持有的20幅休憩用地、臨時停車場等組成。近年安樂村工業區有3個新趨勢,分別是數據中心、物流中心,以及全幢改裝作為商舖及辦公室用途。
3數據中心增逾40萬呎樓面
以數據中心為例,目前有3個項目合共提供約40.2萬平方呎,當中新加坡豐樹產業於本年初,以約8.1294億元投得的粉嶺安樂門街工業地,每平方呎樓面地價約3,750元計,創下新界北區工業地呎價新高。該幅用地佔地約4.34萬平方呎,以地積比率約5倍發展,最高可建樓面約21.7萬平方呎,將會用作為豐樹產業位於香港的首個數據中心,並計劃出租予終端使用者或數據中心營運商等。
與此同時,佳明 (01271) 近年亦分別斥約1.68億及約1.88億元,購入粉嶺安居街3號及粉嶺安福街7號地皮,兩幅地皮面積分別約1.79萬及1.91萬平方呎,將興建2座數據中心,並作租賃用途。
除了數據中心外,華潤物流亦先後購入區內的勉勵龍中心、開達工業中心2幢工廈,並將會用作物流中心之用,合共涉及約35.5萬平方呎樓面。
至於以約2.7億元購入區內樂業路5號全幢工廈的房協,則申請全幢改裝成為陳列室、辦公室之用,涉及約4.4萬平方呎樓面,將會作為售樓中心、示範單位等用途。目前房協在新界區分別有粉嶺百和路、洪水橋及古洞北等項目,預計將於未來10年相繼落成,涉逾6,000個公營房屋單位。
值得留意的是,政府去年提出的北部都會區策略,提及配合港深緊密互動圈發展創科經濟的方向,可將粉嶺安樂村工業區由「工業」地帶改劃為「其他指定 (商貿及創科)」地帶,為工業區轉型助力,提供共享工作間鼓勵初創企業進駐。
除了區內用地有機會受惠轉型之外,在北部都會區提出的5條新鐵路之中,由北環綫古洞站向東面延伸,貫穿羅湖南、文錦渡、打鼓嶺、皇后山等新區後將接駁至安樂村作為尾站,而安樂村亦將建無縫行人系統接駁東鐵綫粉嶺站,預計亦會加快該工業區轉型。

11 Skies office towers get down to business
Three newly completed Grade-A office towers at 11 Skies next to the airport are expected to reach a 65 percent leasing rate by the end of this year, said the operator K11, a subsidiary of New World Development (0017).
The towers - K11 Atelier 11 Skies - have attracted more than 20 international and multinational companies, including Bank of China (Hong Kong) (2388), Citibank and FTLife Insurance, K11 said in a statement yesterday.
Among the three towers, 14 mixed-use workspaces, which combine retail and back-office space, with a total area of 200,000 square feet have been rented. These workspaces connect to the 11 Skies retail section, enhancing tenants' brand exposure and facilitating access to customer centers.
The three buildings, with a total gross floor area of about 570,000 sq ft, serve wealth management, wellness and medical services industries, and companies wishing to establish their business at the heart of the Greater Bay Area.
K11 Atelier 11 Skies is phase 1 of 11 Skies with a gross floor area of 3.8 million sq ft, which connects the Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
The entire project, which consists of commerce, entertainment, retail and dining, is expected to open in phases from this year to 2025.

Property agency sees 8pc slump
A property agency yesterday said it expects property prices will fall by about 8 percent this year.
It said three key factors will determine future trends: the removal of travel and cross-border restrictions, changes in the pandemic and easing of Covid controls, and whether the government will reduce stamp duties on the property market.
The agency predicts that the number of new and second-hand property transactions in the second half of the year would be 8,500 and 21,700, up by about 78 percent and 6 percent compared with the first half of the year respectively, which would still represent a significant decline year-on-year.
Due to the sharp drop in transactions in the first quarter, it expects to record 13,300 primary transactions for the whole year, down more than 20 percent year-on-year, which will be the lowest since 2013.

Hongkongers sell lived-in Home Ownership Scheme flats at losses, as rising interest rates weigh on sentiment
Even estates that have seen the priciest HOS flats in recent years have reported losses and prices well below market levels for lived-in homes in August
Wider losses possible, as the home price outlook remains bearish for the coming months, property agent says
Buyers who paid high prices for their government-subsidised flats under the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS), have resold at losses recently as rising interest rates hurt buying sentiment, according to transaction records.
Even estates that have seen the priciest HOS flats in recent years, such as Charming Garden in western Mong Kok and Fu Keung Court in Yau Yat Chuen, have reported losses and prices well below market levels for lived-in homes in August.
In Charming Garden in western Mong Kok, a 484 sq ft flat sold for HK$4.64 million before premium, according to agents. It was between 18 and 24 per cent cheaper compared to similar flats in the estate. Charming Garden was the first estate to see an HOS flat surpass HK$10 million in price in July 2018.
A 401 sq ft flat at Fu Hong House in Fu Keung Court changed hands for HK$4.95 million at a loss of HK$350,000, or 6.6 per cent, this month, according to a property agency. The flat was bought for HK$5.3 million in early 2018. Hong Kong’s most expensive HOS flat, a 645 sq ft home, was sold in this estate for HK$11 million in May last year.
“For [lived-in] HOS homes that change hands under the current market conditions, if the owner bought at a high level from 2017 to 2019 and now wants to resell, there is a great chance of loss,” an agent said. “Wider losses are also possible, as the home price [outlook] remains bearish in the coming months.”
HOS offers a path to home ownership to those who meet certain income thresholds. Couples with a maximum combined monthly income of HK$66,000 (US$8,410) and assets worth no more than HK$1.85 million are eligible, as are individuals earning half that amount.
HOS flats are sold at a discount to market rates. Public housing tenants can buy either new or used flats under the scheme without paying a premium to the Housing Authority, if they surrender the homes they are renting. Those who do not qualify because their income is too high can buy lived-in HOS flats on the open market, as long as a premium is paid to the government.
A 554 sq ft flat in Kam Kai House at Kam Ying Court in Ma On Shan sold at a loss of HK$780,000 for HK$5 million this month, as overall home prices declined, according to another agency. It was bought for HK$5.78 million in March 2019, when the city’s economy was booming.
The losses came as Hong Kong home prices fell by 1.6 per cent in July, sinking to an almost 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 trend is likely to continue.
Some property owners who would like to emigrate, are eager to cash out and leave Hong Kong even though sentiment in the second-hand market continues to decline, according to the agency.
The number of lived-in HOS transactions, however, declined to a three-month low of just 340 in July, according to Land Registry data. The average price also declined 2.1 per cent to HK$5.05 million.
This number could fall further to about 300 this month, with the average price also softening further, because of cheaper new flats being launched by developers and rising mortgage rates, the first agent said.
Hong Kong has already recorded the lowest number and value of HOS deals in two-and-a-half years in the first half of 2022, because of the fifth wave of the city’s Covid-19 outbreak, the agent added.
In the overall private housing market, the proportion of loss-making deals 6.5 per cent in July, or 105 deals, according to the agency, the highest level in more than 12 years.
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 has raised its benchmark rate in four consecutive meetings from March, and the market widely expects another increase of 50 to 75 basis points in September.
