other residential property projects received less interest on Saturday

Hong
Kong homebuyers snapped up 145 flats of nearly 500 units offered by
five major developers as of 6pm on Saturday, marking the city’s biggest
weekend sale since September in terms of number of flats up for grabs.
Henderson Land sold out all 50 flats on offer at its Caine Hill development
within five hours after sales started. This project, located in Sai
Ying Pun, on the western part of Hong Kong Island, had received more
than 500 registrations of interest, which translates to about 10 bids on
average for each available unit.
Caine Hill has
a total of 187 units, including studio units measuring from 190 square
feet, one-bedroom flats from 277 sq ft and a two-bedroom flat with
rooftop at 446 sq ft. Sale prices ranged from HK$5.42 million to HK$8.69
million per unit, with the average cost per square foot at HK$28,780.
“A lot of homebuyers are interested in Caine Hill because
it’s a new offering and the project’s location is close to the heart of
the city,” property agent said. “The price is affordable for young
homebuyers and it also attracted investors because rental income in the
area can reach 3.5 per cent.”
Four
other residential projects attracted less buyers on Saturday, according
to the agent, because homebuyers are more keen to acquire the newest
flats on the market.
Hang Lung Properties sold only 30 out of 130 flats on offer at The Aperture in Kowloon Bay as of 3pm. The developer sold 89 units at the project a week earlier.
The 130 flats on offer range from one-bedroom units to three-bedroom
flats, with sizes from 320 to 770 sq ft. These were priced between
HK$7.73 million and HK$18.49 million, or an average of HK$22,600 per
square foot.
Kowloon Development managed to sell 64 of 312 flats on offer at its Manor Hill project
in Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O as of 6pm. This was the third round of
sales for the project, which has a total of 1,556 units.
The
312 flats on sale ranged from studio to two-bedroom units, with sizes
from 203 sq ft to 428 sq ft. These were priced between HK$4.29 million
and HK$9.06 million, or an average cost of HK$22,601 per square foot.
The
sales results on Saturday put Hong Kong on track to reaching a record
1,500 transactions in December, which could take the full-year tally to
18,000 units.
“The
property market remains solid because liquidity in the market is
strong,” the agent said. “Expectations over the reopening of Hong Kong’s
border with the mainland have also helped boost demand. We expect this
trend to continue.”
The brisk take-up also reflects improved sentiment among homebuyers, following Beijing’s final approval for quarantine-free travel between Hong Kong and Guangdong province. About 550,000 Hongkongers have signed up for the city’s new Covid-19 health code, which is required for quarantine-free travel to mainland China.
Meanwhile, CK Asset Holdings sold one unit at its El Futuro
project in Sha Tin after offering seven flats on Saturday. The
developer has already sold 152 units, worth a total of HK$2.1 billion,
since this development was launched a year ago.
Flats at El Futuro,
scheduled for completion in March 2023, are priced between HK$7.62
million and HK$27.64 million, or HK$15,599 to HK$22,537 per sq ft. These
units measure from 484 sq ft to 1,226 sq ft.
Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong), a unit of China Vanke, the country’s third-largest developer, did not sell any of the 25 units on offer at its Vau Residence project in Ho Man Tin on Saturday. This development, which has a total of 165 flats, has been for sale since June.

美亨1.95億購九龍城舊樓
九龍城挾市區及鐵路沿綫住宅的優勢，近期該區舊樓收購活動明顯加快，最新美亨實業控股發出公布指，新近與另一公司合作、以1.95億購入衙前圍道55號舊樓，每方呎樓面地價約8125元。
據興勝創建旗下美亨實業控股公告指，與KLT II Holdings (BVI) L.P.成立合營公司Wealth King Ventures Limited，並各佔50%權益，以現金作價1.95億向已故羅楊秀英的遺產 (由羅啟義作為遺囑執行人代表) 購入衙前圍道55號，該地盤面積約8092方呎，以可建總樓面2.4萬方呎計，每方呎樓面地價約8125元。
樓面呎價8125元
該物業為一幢空置樓宇，而完成收購後，將重新發展為住宅，並將進行銷售。資料顯示，上述舊樓早於1951年落成入伙，至今樓齡約70年，鄰近九龍城潮語浸信會，具重建價值。
美亨實業控股指，在現行低息環境下，為提高資金使用效率，增加資金運營收益，一直探索機會，於不影響集團業務運營、正常營運及擴張情況下，更好地利用其閒置現金資源。該公司認為，上述交易及收購事項為集團提供較一般香港商業銀行存款利率更佳潛在回報的絕佳投資機會。
資料顯示，美亨實業控股為分包商，主要從事外牆及幕牆系統 (以幕牆及鋁門窗為主) 的設計、供應及安裝，在香港經營業務逾20年。在2007年，興勝創建收購美亨實業，美亨實業成為興勝創建旗下的子公司之一。

青衣物流地估值逾65億 可建逾221萬呎 相隔三年再推同類地皮
近年物流用地供應罕有，政府為支持現代物流業發展，亦加快新供應；地政總署昨公布，推出青衣「巨無霸」物流地皮招標，該地建總樓面約221.92萬方呎，是政府自18年推出屯門物流地後、相隔逾三年再有同類地皮供應；綜合市場估值約65億至88.8億，每方呎樓面地價約2900至4000元。
地政總署昨日公布，推出青衣路與青衣航運路交界的物流服務用途地皮招標，該地皮位於青衣市地段第200號，鄰近豐樹青衣物流中心及九號貨櫃碼頭，該地皮指定作物流服務用途。
鄰近青衣九號貨櫃碼頭
上述「巨無霸」物流地，地盤面積約67.52萬方呎，可建總樓面約221.92萬方呎，以發展多層港口後勤兼現代物流設施，以及提供不少於2200個20方呎標準貨櫃的貯存空間，以達致一地多用。該地皮將於昨日起招標，明年3月11日截標。
資料顯示，政府對上一幅物流地招標仍追溯至2018年5月屯門第49區小冷水路項目，該地盤面積約34.08萬方呎，可建總樓面約85.21萬方呎，當時由嘉民集團以27.51億投得，每方呎樓面地價約3228元。
地盤面積逾67萬呎
政府指出，一直積極物色合適土地以支持現代物流業發展，正如「施政報告附篇」中公布，政府已就兩幅港口後勤用地完成可行性研究，並會由今年起以公開招標形式分階段出售該兩幅用地，當中包括是次出售的青衣物流地。
運房局：鞏固區域樞紐地位
運房局發言人表示，物流業是本港經濟非常重要的一環，為本港的社會貢獻良多，為持續推動現代物流業的發展，政府會繼續物色更多合適用地，以發展多層現代物流設施，從而鞏固香港作為區域物流樞紐的地位。
有測量師指出，近年物流地供應罕有，另一方面，在疫下電商冒起，刺激物流貨運及跨境貨運，以及相關配套設備需求大增；即使在航運業因疫情大受打擊，集裝箱亦需要地方安置，相信屆時可吸引4至6家財團入標。綜合市場估值約65億至88.8億，每方呎樓面地價約2900至4000元。
另一測量師認為，是次推出的青衣物流地皮位於九號貨櫃碼頭旁邊，項目發展規模龐大；由於近年不少工廈被改劃重建為商廈、數據中心等非傳統工業用途，導致用作物流用途的樓面有所減少，政府要配合市場推出相關用地，滿足市場需求。
