House 6 at Twelve Peaks was sold to Guo Deying, who shares the same name as the founder of Coolpad Group, for HK$387 million.
Creditors of HNA were given the go-ahead to sell its assets, including the luxury villa, in late October by a Chinese court.
A luxury house on The Peak in Hong Kong has reportedly been sold by creditors of the bankrupt Chinese conglomerate HNA Group at a loss of some HK$120 million (US$15.4 million).
House 6 at Twelve Peaks
in the exclusive neighbourhood was sold to Guo Deying, who shares the
same name as the founder of Coolpad Group, for HK$387 million two weeks
ago, according to HK01, a local online news portal.
The details were confirmed by several property agents approached by the Post.
The price was 23.5 per cent lower than the purchase price of HK$506 million paid by the original buyer in 2015.
It was “a bargain to the buyer,” property agent said.
“It
is basically a very low level. The buyer won it all,” the agent said.
“When the market reverses and rebounds, these properties may go back to
the level when HNA bought it. These properties are worth at least HK$500 million in the market.”
Coolpad did not immediately answer an email from the Post. HNA Group’s website could not be reached and the company’s spokeswoman did not immediately respond.
At
4,241 square feet, the price translated to HK$91,252 per sq ft. The
stamp duty of HK$16.45 million, or 4.25 per cent of the property’s
value, meant Guo was a first-time buyer who had acquired Hong Kong
permanent residency, according to HK01.
Creditors
of HNA Group were given the go-ahead to sell its assets, including the
luxury villa, in late October when a Chinese court approved the
multibillion dollar restructuring of China’s largest corporate
bankruptcy case.
PwC
was appointed as the receiver of the house, at 12 Mount Kellett Road. A
tender was then held, with the deadline postponed from late December to
mid-January as the two bids received did not meet the reserve price,
according to HK01.
HNA, once China’s most aggressive overseas buyer, had used the house as collateral for a loan to help pay off the vast debts incurred during its global shopping spree.
The
owner of House 6, according to the Land Registry, was a company called
Fortune Runner Hong Kong Investment, which bought it in 2015 for HK$506
million, or about HK$119,300 per square foot.
Company
registry information from 2018 showed that three of Fortune Runner’s
directors were senior executives with HNA Group (International), the
major offshore arm of HNA Group.
One of the company’s founders and former chairmen, the Chinese aviation tycoon Chen Feng, usually stayed at the Twelve Peaks property when he visited Hong Kong.
Property
agent expects that a 5 to 10 per cent increase in the prices of
super-luxury homes in Hong Kong this year, depending on the supply.
The
agent said that luxury projects like Mount Nicholson and 21 Borrett
Road saw excellent sales in 2021. Global market volatility and rising
interest rates would have little impact on the buyers of such
properties, the agent added.
“Now is already the bottom. These properties are exclusive. [House 6 at Twelve Peaks] is a very special case,” the agent said.
The
agent compared the deal with the occasion when comic artist Ma
Wing-shing bought a luxury house at Severn 8 on The Peak for the
shockingly low price of HK$76 million straight after the 2008 financial
crisis.

尖區星光行呎租26元跌32% 交吉半年始租出低市價兩成
受疫情打擊，甲廈市場淪為重災區，租金持續下滑。消息指，尖沙嘴星光行海景優質戶，於交吉約半年後，以每呎約26元租出，較舊租金急挫約32%，並低市價約兩成。
市場消息指出，尖沙嘴星光行低層04室，建築面積920方呎，外望文化中心及享海景，屬該廈優質單位，雖位處低層，但景觀開揚，以每呎約26元租出，月租約23920元。 據地產代理指出，上址舊租金為每呎約38元，惟於去年6月撤出，故單位交吉約半年後租出，租金急挫約32%，值得一提的是，消息指上址差餉及管理費全包，故租金實屬便宜，低市價至少約20%。
差餉及管理費全包
據業內人士指出，儘管甲廈空置率逐步改善，惟整體租金表現仍備受壓力，近期，部分業主希望在農曆新年前將單位租用，加上新一波疫情急升溫，議價空間逐步擴闊，故近期甲廈租金均見折讓，部分業主亦變陣出擊，紛提供免租期及裝修補貼等優惠以留住優質租戶。
資料顯示，該甲廈早前已錄減租個案，其中，該廈低層27C室，建築面積434方呎，於本月以每呎約22.5元租出，月租約9765元；據地產代理指出，上址舊租金為每呎29.5元，惟該租戶於去年12月遷出，故最新租金下跌約23.7%。
屬海景優質單位
此外，據本港一間代理行資料顯示，該廈呎租於高峰呎租達60元，為低層B室，面積540方呎，於2019年1月以每呎60元租出，故該廈最新呎租較高峰期大幅回落約56%。
有外資代理行昨日發布市場報告，該行指出，隨更多租戶在穩定租金和經濟環境改善下尋找更好的寫字樓地點，租賃勢頭加快。因此，有些業主開始減少租金議價空間，且減少優惠。中環部分傳統甲廈於去年12月錄5%按月升幅，支持中環整體租金增長。
代理：中環甲廈空置率改善
展望未來，在租賃需求強勁的情況下，中環核心商業區空置率，預計將進一步改善，預計未來幾個月的寫字樓租金將上揚。受節日和疫情不穩定影響，12月份的寫字樓租賃活動放緩。大部分新出租寫字樓都是來自面積3000方呎或以下的中小型企業。
至於零售市道方面，面對第五波新冠疫情，預計大多數零售商對擴張持謹慎和保守的態度，預計整體零售租金將在今年持續疲軟。
