SHKP expected to make land donation

Sun Hung Kai Properties is likely to announce a land donation today after the developer was criticized for not cutting shopping mall rents.

The company will hold a press conference on a large-scale community project, at which it is expected to donate a part of its land reserve for social housing or launch a housing project for charity.

In response to media reports that it hadn't cut shop rents for some of its small tenants, the developer clarified that it has offered rent reductions to tenants based on different circumstances including their operating conditions, and the rent would be adjusted according to the latest market conditions when renewing or signing a new lease.

Meanwhile, SHKP's rental project Townplace Soho in Central will be open for lease this March, with the first batch of 50 apartments offered at a minimum rent of HK$22,000 per month.

Elsewhere, shopowners in Mong Kok are slashing prices to sell street shops. The owner of an 830-sq-ft street shop at Shantung Street had cut the initial asking price by 40 percent to HK$210 million. The current SmarTone store has a rent of HK$450,000 per month.

HKR International (0480) will put five houses in Il Picco at Discovery Bay, sized between 2,023 sq ft and 2,171 sq ft, for sale by tender next Wednesday. This would be the first batch of houses in the district since 2002.

Henderson Land Development (0012) also plans to launch its first units at The Richmond in Mid-levels before Chinese New Year with minimum investment lower than HK$8 million.

In other news, JP Morgan expects housing prices to fall 10 percent this year as the unemployment rate is expected to rise, triggering negative sentiment. But the investment house projects buying sentiment will recovery in the second half.

租金回調 甲廈價料跌1

甲廈租金向下,業內人士認為,受整體氣氛影響,料今年甲廈租售價均下跌約1成。

12月份為傳統淡季,加上近月社會事件影響,多幢指標商廈均乏買賣成交。據代理統計,截至上月中,2019全年錄得約844宗寫字樓買賣個案,按年大幅減少近六成,創17年來新低,資料顯示,2002年商廈買賣宗數跌穿1,000宗至約977宗水平;而全年總成交金額則錄得約566.5億元,重返至2015年水平,對比2018年減少約37%

第四季港島甲廈 3宗買賣

按月分析方面,自8月起已連續5個月單月成交宗數不足50宗,當中9月及10月份更只有20餘宗。事實上,港九指標商廈買賣連月僅錄得零星成交,港島區第四季只錄得約3宗個案,當中資深投資者羅守輝購入上環信德中心招商局大廈中低層13室,面積約1,057平方呎,成交價約2,618萬元,平均呎價僅約24,768元。翻查資料,同層16室,面積約1,638平方呎,於2017年中以呎價約2.5萬元易手。

至於港九指標商廈租賃交投價量亦持續遞減,按成交量計算,第四季累計約70宗,較去年第四季120宗,減幅約40%2019錄得約5,259宗個案,涉及總金額約6.75億元,較去年分別下跌約16%14%

力寶中心5千呎 每呎68元租出

代理分析,由於本地事件令不少機構抱審慎態度,近期少有擴充,租金亦漸向下,故買賣價格同樣受壓。租務成交上,近期金鐘力寶中心1231室,面積約5,168平方呎,以每月35萬元租出,呎租約68元,同區海富中心183B室,面積約5,568平方呎,以每平方呎約45元租出。

對於後市,代理認為,各區空置率整體上升,指標商廈買賣及租務僅錄得零星買賣成交,預計今年甲廈租售價跌約1成。他提到,甲廈業主實力仍相對強,大幅減價個案仍然不多,故料價格不會出現太大跌幅。
