The latest batch of flats at a new project in Hung
Shui Kiu is being offered at prices that are 18 percent lower than six
months ago while prices at Mei Foo Sun Chuen also fell further in the
secondary market.
High Park I
in Hung Shui Kiu, developed by Asia Standard International (0129),
released the third price list yesterday, offering 63 flats with the
cheapest priced at HK$3.4 million.
The average price for the latest batch stood at HK$11,797 per square foot after discounts.
A total of 92 flats have been sold after the
project first launched in July last year, raking in more than HK$520
million, the developer said.
Meanwhile, CK Asset (1113) will launch the sale of 12 flats at The Coast Line II in Yau Tong on Saturday, with five special units to be sold via tender.
Among seven flats sold through price lists, one is a one-bedroom and six are three-bedroom flats.
The one-bedroom flat saw the price rise about 2
percent to HK$4.14 million, or HK$16,058 per sq ft, in its relaunch
after a customer earlier gave up a transaction. CK Asset said it will
also consider hiking the prices for three-bedroom units.
This came as Phase one of KT Marina in Kai Tak will also put on sale of 217 flats on the same day, among which 211 flats will be sold via the price list.
The project is jointly developed by K Wah
International (0173), Wheelock Properties, and China Overseas Land and
Investment (0688).
In the secondary market, a three-room flat in Mei
Foo Sun Chuen has changed hands at HK$8 million after a price cut of
HK$3.5 million. The average price per sq ft is HK$8,869, falling below
the HK$9,000 level.
The original owner booked a paper loss of
HK$800,000 after buying the property in November 2016 for HK$8.8 million
and holding it for more than seven years.
Meanwhile, a one-bedroom flat at the estate was
sold at HK$4.52 million, or HK$9,679 per sq ft, after the vendor asked
for HK$4.68 million earlier.
Separately, a three-bedroom flat with a
car-parking space at Tregunter Towers in Mid-Levels was sold at HK$47.6
million after a price cut of more than HK$5 million.

Hong Kong’s smaller developers steal a march on big guns, offer discounts to offload flats before Lunar New Year holiday
Such
developers ‘need to capture the market’s attention before larger
developments are launched starting from March’, a property agent says
Smaller firms might also be forced to sell flats at a loss because land costs have been high in recent years
The developers of smaller
residential projects in Hong Kong are hastening sales by offering
discounts before the Lunar New Year holiday, with the aim of increasing
their market share before larger projects are launched later in the
year.
Lofter Group, a local
developer that was established in 2012 and focuses on urban renewal
projects across core districts, launched Elize Park in Mong Kok East on
Tuesday.
The project will have a
total of 52 units, including one and two-bedroom flats ranging in size
from 240 sq ft to 345 sq ft. The project’s sales brochure and price list
will be made available to the public this month, with sales expected to
launch before the Lunar New Year holiday at the earliest, said Carol
Chow, Lofter’s founder and chairperson.
The developer is
currently observing the market and expects the relaxation of the
government’s property cooling measures to stabilise the situation.
“We are optimistic about
Hong Kong’s property market in the mid to long term, and we will keep an
eye on premium lands in core districts,” said Alvin Leung, Lofter’s
director. The firm is expected to launch three to four commercial and
residential projects this year.
The market generally
expects that interest rates in the United States have peaked and there
is a chance they will be lowered this year, which bodes well for Hong
Kong’s property market as the city’s monetary authority will act in
lockstep with the US Federal Reserve because of the Hong Kong dollar-US
dollar currency peg, a property agent said
Therefore, “developers of
these projects need to capture the market’s attention before larger
developments are launched starting from March”, the agent said.
Some
smaller developers might also be forced to sell flats at a loss because
land costs have been high in recent years, he added. “Developers need to
continue to sell – [even] at prices that are below market prices,” the
agent said.
The
market will continue to focus on primary home sales this year, with
primary transactions expected to reach around 500 to 600 deals in
January, with small and medium-sized new projects dominating the sales,
the agent added.
Another
developer looking to launch flats before the Lunar New Year holiday is
Hong Kong-listed Asia Standard International. It has released the latest
price list for 63 units at its High Park I project in Yuen Long.
The
project is being developed in two phases and will have a total of 1,025
units. A total of 92 units out of the 623 on sale were sold during the
first phase for HK$520 million (US$66.5 million).
The
latest batch is being offered at a discount of 18 per cent compared to
units previously sold. The average price per square foot after discounts
is HK$11,797. This batch’s cheapest flat is a 327 sq ft one-bedroom
unit priced at HK$3.4 million.
On Monday, Wang On Properties released the third price list for 23 units at its Phoenext
project in Wong Tai Sin. The list covers 16 one-bedroom units and seven
two-bedroom flats. After a maximum discount of 30 per cent, these units
are priced from HK$4.17 million to HK$6.9 million.
The
cheapest unit is a 245 sq ft one-bedroom flat priced at HK$4.17
million, or HK$17,037 per square foot. The developer said the sales will
be launched on Saturday at the earliest.

近年市場屢見商廈淪為銀主盤，最新為灣仔會展廣場辦公大樓一個銀主盤標售，市值約2.5億。
上址為灣仔會展廣場辦公大樓33樓7至9室，建築面積約9000方呎，市值約2.5億，平均呎價2.78萬，原由上市公司中國生態旅遊集團持有，作為自用單位，去年底被銀行接管，淪為銀主盤，最新委託一間外資代理行，以公開招標形式放售，物業將在今年3月6日截標。
意向呎價2.78萬
市場資料顯示，上述物業曾由中國生態旅遊集團自用，2007年9月逾1.02億購入，去年6月曾以約3.098億易手，平均呎價約3.44萬，買家香港影像有限公司後來撻訂，遭殺訂3098萬。
該行代理表示，物業樓底達3.2米，景觀佳，單位內設洗手間，會展廣場辦公大樓受用家追捧，5分鐘步程可達五星級酒店如君悅酒店及瑞吉酒店、會景閣、私人會所皇朝會。由港鐵會展站前往羅湖及落馬洲口岸，需時45分鐘。
參考該廈去年有兩宗成交，銀建國際以2億出售49樓1、2及9號單位，平均呎價約2.9萬；台灣商人張彥緒以約2.55億出售27樓2、8至12號單位，平均呎價約3.1萬。

漢口大廈建商住項目料開綠燈 新世界等申請規劃署不反對
尖沙咀傳統核心商業區地皮新供應罕有，由新世界及有關人士去年完成併購的尖沙咀漢口大廈，早前向城規會申請重建1幢樓高28層的商住物業，提供110伙，另有9.9萬方呎商業樓面，最新獲規劃署不反對，城規會將於周五舉行會議審議，料會開綠燈通過。
規劃署表示，住宅用途樓面並不完全符合規劃意向，但從土地利用角度來看，項目頂部住宅單位所佔樓面，與區內周邊住宅/商業、酒店及寫字樓發展環境並非不相容，而且是次重建地積比率及建築物高限，並未超出上限。同時項目日後加入建築物後移、垂直綠化等元素，亦不會對周邊景觀構成負面，故該署不反對有關申請，城規會將於周五
(12日) 舉行會議審議，料屆時會開綠燈通過。
據文件顯示，漢口大廈位於尖沙咀漢口道43至49A號，目前屬「商業 (6)」地帶，申請擬議分層住宅及准許的辦公室、商店及服務行業/食肆用途發展。
涉110伙及9.9萬呎商業樓面
項目地盤面積約1.16萬方呎，總地積比率以約12倍發展，地積比包括住宅部分約3.428倍及非住宅部分約8.572倍，以興建1幢樓高28層的商住物業，住宅部分提供110伙，涉及可建總樓面約3.96萬方呎，另有9.91萬方呎商業樓面，換言之整個項目可建總樓面約13.88萬方呎。
擬議發展包括1幢樓高28層的大廈，建築物高度為不超過主水平基準以上110米。當中零售、餐飲及辦公設施設於地下至7樓，而8樓至17樓將大部份作辦公用途，而住宅部分則位於18樓以上，共有11層為住宅樓層，共提供110伙，平均每伙住宅單位面積約361方呎。
資料顯示，新世界及有關人士於去年3月中旬透過強拍途徑，以底價21.34億元成功統一上述項目業權發展，當時每呎樓面地價約1.5萬。
