Grande Monaco flats up for sale from Saturday

Wheelock Properties will open sales for Grande Monaco in Kai Tak this Saturday, offering 102 units at an average price of HK$24,100 per sq ft, while property agent expects property prices to rise 15 percent this year.

As of 4 pm yesterday, the developer had received 600 tickets for the 88 units which will be sold via price list - an oversubscription of 5.8 times.

The first batch of flats includes 29 one-room flats, 37 two-room flats, 16 three room flats, and six four-room flats, with areas ranging from 345 to 961 sq ft.

The discounted prices range from around HK$7.66 million to HK$25.02 million with a discounted per sq ft price of HK$21,829 to HK$27,063.

The remaining 14 units will be sold via tender and comprises eight three-room and six 4-room units. The tender closed yesterday.

This came as the agent raised the projection of property prices from 7 percent to 15 percent growth.

The agent said that the prices of luxury units are expected to outperform the general market.

The agent expected the price-tracking index to surge above 200 - a record high.

In other news, Wharf (0004) has leased its seven houses on 11 Plantation Road ranging from 6,000 sq ft to 10,000 sq ft from today.

Henderson Land (0012) sold a 726 sq ft flat with a 263-sq-ft terrace and a 172 sq ft rooftop space at Novum West in Sai Ying Pun for HK$34.5 million. This equates to HK$47,520 per sq ft - the building's second highest per sq ft price.

Meanwhile, a real estate consultancy expects it will be hard for the government to achieve its land sale target of HK$100 billion in the next fiscal year, the consultant said.

This came as the government recorded HK$51.7 in billion income from land sales so far this fiscal year, a year-on-year drop of 51 percent and the lowest in the last five fiscal years, official data showed.

Mount Anderson in Kwun Tong, first new project launch of Year of the Ox, sees dismal take up with just a few flats sold on first evening

The project received a very lukewarm response from buyers, with just three of 52 flats sold on Tuesday evening, according to agents

Potential buyers may be hesitant to act because of worries about transport links to the development in east Kowloon, which currently has no bus services

Mount Anderson, the first new residential property project to be launched in the Year of the Ox, received a very lukewarm response from buyers, with just three of 52 flats sold on Tuesday, according to agents.

Some potential buyers are apparently hesitant to take the plunge because of concerns about transport links to the development, which is on the site of a former quarry in east Kowloon and currently has no bus services.

“As it is a newly developed area, it is inevitable that buyers need to take time to learn and get comfortable with the project’s location and transport links,” agent said.

“We understand that a transport interchange will be put in place, with bus links to the Kwun Tong and Choi Hung subway stations, when the project is completed.”

Some 52 units of the project developed by Chinachem Group in Kwun Tong were offered to the public at an average price of HK$20,363 per square foot. Another 16 units were put on sale via private tender.

The cheapest unit in the batch, measuring 377 sq ft, will cost HK$7.92 million after discounts.

That is around 16 per cent lower than a project on sale in nearby Kai Tak and 10 per cent cheaper than another one near the Kwun Tong subway station, the agent said.

Mount Anderson, with 334 units in four towers, is expected to be completed in March next year. The units are one-to-three bedroom flats with usable space of around 300 to 900 square feet.

Three years ago, Chinachem outbid more than 20 rivals to win the tender to develop the Kwun Tong site on Anderson Road.

Tuesday’s sale marks the latest of several recent disappointing attempts by developers to shift flats in new projects.

Four days ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday that began on February 12, Sino Land sold less than half the 132 flats it offered at Grand Central in Kwun Tong, after pricing them some 30 per cent higher than when the project was launched in 2018.

That project, close to the Kwun Tong subway station and due to be delivered in May, is attached to a shopping centre set to open in April. Some 1,687 of the 1,999 flats there, priced at an average of HK$22,638 per sq ft, have been sold.

Late last month, Wheelock Properties sold just under half of 90 units at Grande Monaco, a residential project in Kai Tak, another east Kowloon district, where Hong Kong’s former international airport was located. The average price was HK$24,124 per sq ft after discount.

A strong stock market performance and restricted overseas travel for potential buyers amid the pandemic helped lift second-hand flat sales to 180 deals last week, up 55 per cent from the previous week, based on agent’s data from 50 benchmark housing estates.

However, for some newly launched projects that are not priced attractively and have issues such as potentially inadequate transport links, demand has remained low.

“Strong gains in the share market have encouraged some investors to shift money to the property market, while low interest rates continue to support flat purchases,” the agent said.

The number of deals involving homes, shops, offices and car parks registered in February may rise 12.7 per cent from January to about 7,000, with further gains expected in March, according to another property agency.

The latest weekly agency index, which tracks second-hand flat prices, stood at 176.1, which is 0.6 per cent higher than three weeks ago, but 7.5 per cent below the record high seen in mid-2019.

基金紛入市,消息指,葵涌佳寶集團中心全幢,獲外資基金15億洽至尾聲,快將易手,買家料為安祖高頓基金或有關人士。

市場消息指,葵涌葵喜街18至24號佳寶集團中心全幢,獲財團洽購。該物業由佳寶超市集團持有,作總部之用,總樓面約29.17萬平方呎。據悉,物業獲基金以15億元洽購,雙方已達成協議,並進行盡職審查,預計快將易手,而佳寶集團料將售後租回物業。

啟德區3地 供應逾335萬呎商業樓面

隨着港鐵屯馬綫第1期通車,加上發展商大力發展啟德區,區內住宅及商業發展日漸成熟,就近年區內批出的3幅商業用地,將供應約335萬平方呎商業樓面,其中南豐旗下地標項目AIRSIDE,料最快2022年開幕。

地標項目AIRSIDE 屬多用途商業空間

屯馬綫第1期於去年正式通車,增加啟德區的便捷程度,而將來隨着屯馬綫第2期及沙中綫通車,屆時通往西九龍、中環及金鐘等核心區有望更趨便利;而在起動九龍東政策下,政府銳意發展啟德區,就近年已批出的3幅商業地計,可提供約335萬平方呎商業樓面,其商業項目亦將陸續落成。

當中規模較大的項目屬啟德商業地標項目AIRSIDE,為南豐於2017年以約246億元奪得的第1F區2號商業地,當時曾創下本港賣地史上最高金額紀錄,其後發展商斥資約320億元投資,而該地皮屬於啟德發展區核心地段,比鄰啟德站,地理位置便利。

整個項目樓高47層,提供逾191萬平方呎的多用途商業空間,其中商廈佔約120萬平方呎,10至47樓為寫字樓,每層面積約3.2萬至5.3萬平方呎。發展商早前表示,項目的地庫至9樓為零售樓層,合共涉及約70萬平方呎樓面,當中將預留3成樓面作餐飲,並已獲MCL戲院承租,將提供7個影院,涉約1,100個座位,而項目去年底開始招租,當時意向呎租約40元起,並已因應疫情調低約兩成。

1E區2號地 擬建雙子塔式商廈

另一方面,鄰近的啟德第1E區2號商業地,則由利福國際 (01212) 於2016年以約73.88億元投得。發展商曾透露,項目的9成樓面將會作零售用途,其中1幢將興建崇光 (SOGO) 分店之用,料於2022年落成,總投資額達145億元。按照建築圖則顯示,項目的總樓面逾109萬平方呎,將分為A及B地盤,興建兩幢18至19層高雙子塔商廈,並設4層地庫。

而鄰近日後啟德體育園主場館旁邊的承啟道商業地,涉及總樓面約34餘萬平方呎,將會興建酒店及寫字樓,提供約400個酒店房間,及樓高12層 (計入地庫) 的寫字樓及零售商廈,預料於2024年落成,該地於2019年由遠東發展 (00035) 以約24.46億元投得,以總樓面面積約34.44萬平方呎計,每平方呎樓面地價僅約7,100餘元,較當年市場估值下限低約11%。
