One can afford to buy a home in an urban area in
Hong Kong for less than HK$4 million now, as the city's home prices are
still almost 30 percent lower after peaking three years ago.
The Highline in Kennedy Town has just unveiled its first price list of 50 units, with the cheapest at HK$3.89 million.
The project is developed by Right Honour Investments under the Shanghai Commercial Bank.
The average price after discounts stands at
HK$21,380 per square foot, the lowest in the district in eight years and
about 18 percent lower than the recent average of around HK$26,000 in
the West Island, an agency said.
The 50 units are comprised of 40 studios, six one-bedroom and four two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 211 to 524 sq ft.
The Highline plans to offer a total of 173 units
in a 30-story tower, including 90 studios, 50 one-bedroom, 14
two-bedroom and 19 three-bedroom flats.
Its show hall will be open to the public today and subscriptions will start on Friday, an agent said.
In Cheung Sha Wan, The Vim has priced its seven
high-rise flats in its sixth price list at a low of HK$3.41 million
after discounts. The cheapest unit is a 201-sq-ft studio costing
HK$17,003 per sq ft.
The sizes of these seven units vary from 199 to 289 sq ft, with an average price of HK$16,656 per square foot.
The Vim is jointly developed by Carrianna Group (0126) and Choice Holdings.
It comes as the city's private home prices have
lost 28 percent from its peak in September 2021, though it rebounded 2
percent in the past three months after the removal of housing curbs in
late February.
Henderson Land Development (0012) said The Haddon,
its redevelopment project in Hung Hom, has received 272 cheques as of
yesterday for 92 units in its first price list, around twice
oversubscribed.
Henderson plans to start the first round of sales by the end of this week or the middle of next week.
In other news, the value of registered residential
property sales jumped 45 percent year-on-year to HK$53.4 billion
despite a 31 percent fall month-on-month, data from the Land Registry
showed.
The number of contracts amounted to 5,546, 38.5 percent higher than one year ago but 35 percent lower than one month earlier.

Hong Kong property deals fall by a quarter as exuberance over scrapping of cooling measures fades
Some 7,361 homes, car parks, shops, office and industrial units changed hands in May, down by 25. 5 per cent from April
From a year ago, both the number and value of property transactions in May were still higher by about 40 per cent
Hong Kong’s property
sales fell by a quarter in May, the latest official data shows, as
analysts said the initial exuberance over the lifting of property
cooling measures had started to wear off.
Some 7,361 new and
lived-in homes, car parks, shops, office and industrial units changed
hands in May, down by 25.5 per cent from April, according to Land
Registry data released on Tuesday. The total value of property sales
plunged 25.8 per cent to HK$62.28 billion (US$7.9 billion).
From a year ago, both the number and value of property transactions were still higher by about 40 per cent.
Sales of residential units plummeted 35.1 per cent to 5,546 in May, but were up by 38.54 per cent from a year earlier.
The boost that stemmed from the scrapping of property curbs at the beginning of March appeared to be tapering off.
In March and April,
property deals rose on a monthly basis. In particular, the April sales –
the highest since July 2021 when 9,957 units were sold – were roughly
double the number in March, which marked the first full month of a
restriction-free property market.
The prices of Hong Kong’s
secondary homes have so far largely reflected the new-found optimism,
increasing by an aggregate 2 per cent since February, official data
shows.
“Overall trading has
returned to a more rational state, but it is expected to remain better
than the sluggish market conditions before the withdrawal of the cooling
measures,” another agent said.
“It is expected that the
overall property transaction registration volume in June will only fall
by about 3 per cent month on month, and will maintain the level of 7,000
units.”
With more than 7,000 new
homes sold in the three months since the property restrictions were
relaxed, it was natural for the market to “take a breath”, another agent
said.
In May, fewer units were launched compared to April, the agent added.
“Developers mainly pushed
their old inventory for sale during the month,” the agent said. “With
several new projects in the pipeline awaiting launch, we expect
developers to adjust their pricing strategy as buyers are mainly
attracted by discounts and incentives.”
The agent expects property deals to decline further in June.
Another property agency which sells luxury lived-in homes, demand had picked up in recent weeks.
“Most of the demand is
coming from Hong Kong and mainland Chinese buyers,” another agent said.
“I think this is because sellers are becoming more realistic and are
willing to cut about 15 per cent from their original asking price.”
Although interest rates
remain at a near 23-year high in Hong Kong, many potential buyers
believe a rate cut is likely to come in the first half of 2025.
“The vendors are
recognising that there is not likely to be a significant increase in
prices because both the mainland China and Hong Kong economies are still
sluggish,” the agent said.

3商業項目 年內進駐啟德
啟德配套日漸成熟，陸續有商業項目落成，繼南豐旗下大型商業項目AIRSIDE於去年落成後，預計今年再有3個商業項目落成，共涉近210萬平方呎樓面。
啟德第二個核心商業區 (CBD 2)
為定位，區內商業樓面供應多達逾2,000萬平方呎，當中去年及今年屬於商業項目落成高峰期，接近約400萬平方呎商業樓面落成，估計今年再有3個商業項目落成，共涉近210萬平方呎樓面，當中以啟德雙子匯項目的規模最大，亦將有知名大型日式百貨進駐。
雙子匯投資額145億 料9月落成
啟德雙子匯前身為第1E區2號用地，於2016年由利福國際擊敗其餘7間財團，以約74億元 (每呎樓面地價約6,733元) 投得，將會發展為2幢樓高18至19層高的雙子塔式商廈，預計於今年9月落成，總樓面約110萬平方呎，總投資額高達145億元。
項目分2幢發展，其中利福旗下日式百貨公司崇光SOGO進駐Tower I，而Tower II擬提供國際奢侈品、美粧、時尚服飾以至生活消閒等商品及服務。
K11啟德零售館 設逾200間商舖
另外，作為啟德重要基建之一的啟德體育園之主要設施，亦預計今年年底落成。園內的K11啟德零售館亦會推出，由新世界 (00017) 營運，主建築共3座，每座最多有5層，佔地約70萬平方呎，涉逾200間商店，提供零售及餐飲服務。
而由遠東發展 (00035)
投得的啟德承啟道商業項目亦預料在今年落成，項目將發展為1幢辦公室及1幢酒店，總樓面約34.4萬平方呎，當中約17.4萬平方呎的寫字樓部分已在2021年12月售予中電
(00002) ，作價約33.8億元，每呎約19,400餘元，將成為中電的新總部。
新地 (00016) 旗下新盤「天璽‧天」的基座還將設有一個零售商場，面積約2.4萬平方呎，預計在2025年起分階段落成。
縱觀啟德區尚有不少商業地待推，涉及商業樓面近980萬平方呎。
值得一提是，政府早前曾提出將啟德5幅商業地改劃為住宅地，但最終只有3幅獲成功改劃，其餘兩幅位於跑道區的商業地 (4C區4號及4C區5號地盤) 則會保留作商業用途，當中4C區4號用地已納入今個財政年度的賣地表中，總樓面約86萬平方呎。
