Hong Kong homebuyers turn up in droves to snap up Wetland Seasons flats, ignoring US action to revoke city’s trade status

Hong Kong’s homebuyers snapped up hundreds of new flats on Saturday, turning out in droves to defy an amber rainstorm warning and the US President Donald Trump’s threat to revoke the city’s special trade privileges amid an escalation of tensions with China.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), Hong Kong’s largest developer by market value, sold 291 of 298 flats, or 98 per cent of units offered in the second batch of the second phase of its Wetland Seasons Park project in Tin Shui Wai as of 7.10pm, according to sales agents.

“So far, customers are still very enthusiastic in coming out to pick the flats, and the crowd didn’t shrink because of the overnight news” of US actions on Hong Kong, property agent said, adding that the agent expects the batch to be sold out by the end of the day.

SHKP raised the price for some of the best units in the second batch by 2 per cent, compared with last Saturday, after its encouraging result of selling more than 80 per cent of the flats. The first batch was sold at 18 per cent discounts.

Coming fresh on the heels of one of the White House’s much-heralded punitive action on Hong Kong amid the lowest point in US-China relations, SHKP’s strong showing underscores how the city’s residential property market may be finding a temporary respite from its year-long slump. As many as 25 buyers registered to bid for every single available flat unit.

Mass-market residential projects are likely to hold up better than commercial and high-end properties, as there is still a lot of demand by local residents who want to buy flats for their own use while supply is scarce, according to analysts and agents.

In an indication of the strong demand, a total of 7,631 buyers put down a deposit to enter a lottery for the 298 flats at Wetland Seasons Park. The flats, located in northwestern New Territories, are priced at HK$10,842 to HK$15,670 (US$2,021) per square foot, with sizes ranging from 331 to 816 square feet (76 square metres).

The value of the city’s new and secondary home transactions plunged 52 per cent to HK$33.7 billion in April from last year, according to government data. Property agency index, which tracks prices of used flats, declined about 6 per cent since a high in June 2019, when the anti-government protests started.

US government invites bids on six multibillion-dollar Hong Kong mansions, even as White House revokes city’s trade status

The United States government is calling for bids on a cluster of residential properties in the world’s most expensive real estate market, even as Hong Kong is turning into the latest pawn in an escalating rivalry between the US and China.

A plot of land with six multistorey mansions located at 37 Shouson Hill Road near the city’s Ocean Park resort was put on the market this week. The six mansions, each with as many as 10 bedrooms, measure about 47,382 square feet (4,400 square metres) in total, according to a tender document seen by South China Morning Post.

The project offers breathtaking views of Deep Water Bay from a gated community accessible via a private driveway from Shouson Hill Road. A small swimming pool is shared by the two largest of the six houses, complete with a gazebo between them.

The entire project including the six houses is estimated at between HK$3.1 billion and up to HK$5 billion (US$645 million) according to valuers. That’s less than the HK$5.93 billion fetched in June 2018 at a neighbouring site of a comparable size, according to the tender document.

“The luxury housing market has cooled down over the past two years, and it takes longer time to sell high-end villas right now, which would make developers more cautious,” real estate consultant said.

The US government bought the land in June 1948 for an unknown price when Hong Kong was still a British colony, according to public records at the Land Registry. Construction on the site was completed in 1983.

“The State Department’s Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations regularly reviews the US Government’s overseas real estate holdings as part of its global reinvestment programme,” according to a statement by the US Consulate Genera in Hong Kong. “As part of that programme, the State Department has decided to sell the Shouson Hill property, and at the same time, invest in enhancing other US Government-owned assets in Hong Kong, including the US Consulate General’s office building. The reinvestment program reinforces the US Government’s presence in Hong Kong by ensuring its facilities are able to perform to the highest long-term standards.”

The neighbouring plot was sold to China Resources in 2018, agents said.

“Taking into account the current political and economic sentiment, the price should be 10 to 20 per cent lower than the average price of HK$85,000 per sq ft” of the neighbouring project, an agent said, who values 37 Shouson Hill Road at HK$3.2 billion. “Mainland Chinese used to be the buyers of luxury properties. Will they buy property from the US government now? That is a question in many people’s mind.”

It is unclear how many properties the US government owns in the city. A property agency has been assigned as sales agent for the project. The agents were not immediately available to comment. The project is being sold on an “as is” basis, with all six mansions, with an agreement to lease it back. Interested buyers can bid for the project as a whole, and can tear the project down to rebuild on its floor plate measuring 92,000 square feet.

Details of the tender came to light hours after Trump announced that he would revoke Hong Kong’s special customs status, in response to the Chinese legislature’s announcement last week of introducing a national security law for the city. Trump’s plan would affect a “full range of agreements” from an extradition treaty to commercial relations, the agent said, after his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Hong Kong could no longer be considered be a region that is autonomous from Beijing’s rule.

香港中央紡織二廠申重建工廈

嘉民亞洲持有的荃灣香港中央紡織一至五廠,據城規會文件顯示,其中二廠申請重建20層高工廈,樓面約11萬平方呎。

擬建20層高新式工廈

據城規會資料顯示,發展商近日申請將二廠地盤面積作重建,屬於「其他指定(商貿)」用途,佔地9,725平方呎,申請人申請將地積比率9.5倍放寬至約11.4倍,幅度約2成,興建一幢20層高的新式工廈,最高建築物高度為主水平基準以上100米,總樓面面積約11萬平方呎。

申請人認為,計劃符合政府活化工廈的政策,可加快荃灣柴灣角商貿區的轉型。而申請人會沿着半山街劃設一條8米寬的「非建築用地」,以擴闊現有行人路,從而提高該處視覺及空氣流通;另會沿着西南面地段界綫劃設一條4.5米寬行人通道,提供一條新行人通道由半山街通往沙咀道,亦會在面向半山街的地下加裝垂直綠化,以改善周邊環境、街道景觀及公共空間的景觀質素,申請人認為,如此不會帶來負面交通及排污影響。

資料顯示,嘉民亞洲早於2012年時,以9.45億元買入中央紗廠一至五號廠,去年8月份時,嘉民已申請將一廠地盤重建,同樣放寬地積比率2成至11.4倍,興建一幢21層高的新式工廈,涉及約57萬平方呎樓面。

低市價50%租約期一年海防道鋪每呎112元租出

疫情重擊核心區,鋪租持續下滑。尖沙嘴海防道一個地鋪,自從舊租客藥房撤出,丟空近兩個月,以每呎112元租出,低市價約50%,新租客為影音手機配件店,租約期一年。

土地註冊處資料顯示,上述為尖沙嘴海防道31號地鋪,於本月13日以10萬租出,以鋪位面積893方呎計,呎租約112元,租約至明年5月,租約期僅約1年,租戶為寶栢貿易有限公司(PROSPEX TRADING LIMITED),董事羅真雄。現場所見,該家租客已開門營業,售賣影音用品,手影碟及手機配件等,鋪面裝修簡單,與短租客甚至相似。

每月租金10

市場人士指,該名新租客簽約1年,有別一般長租至少簽2年,亦不是「試水溫」式的短租,簽約3個月至半年,可見租客儘管接受該租金水平,對前景仍存不確定因素,傾向較保守。

盛滙商舖基金創辦人李根興形容,該鋪最新租金甚至平過「沙士」,月租僅10萬,平均呎租約100餘元,不少民生旺段都是此水平,惟租約期僅1年,故實為「短租價」,或不排除涉及營業額分成條款。受示威及疫症影響,核心區遊客近絕迹,海防道成為「重災區」,珠寶店及藥房「天價」搶租盛況不再,拖累租金急速下滑。

李根興:平過沙士時期

資料顯示,該鋪原租客藥房,早於去年反修例運動後,藥房公布9月底約滿不再續租,當時月租約50萬,業主以短約留住租客,租金減至20萬,故上述租金較舊租金下跌約50%。另外,該鋪於2013年由米蘭站以99萬租用,至2015年租金更增加至102萬,故最新租金較高峰期回落逾九成。代理指出,該鋪位由於接近廣東道,屬於「龍頭鋪」。論租金亦是過去5年來,該街道最平租的鋪位(包括短租在內)

據悉,早於1997年,該鋪由許留山以16.7萬承租,及後經歷鋪市高低起伏,直至20133月,月租雖已加至60萬,惟米蘭站以每月100萬搶租,及至20157月,續租仍錄輕微加幅,月租約102萬,惟後來,零售業表現不如前,儘管鋪租節節下跌,米蘭站仍撤出,鋪位獲藥房進駐,大幅減租50%

事實上,受市場淡風吹襲影響,該街道早前已頻錄減租個案。資料顯示,海防道35號至37號地鋪入口,1樓及2樓,地鋪入口建築面積約300方呎,1樓及2樓面積各約1800方呎,合共樓面3900方呎,自從連鎖化妝品2個月前遷出,剛獲連鎖超市以20萬承租,平均呎租約51元。舊租客連鎖化妝品莎莎,自20119月預租,並於翌年3月進駐,當時月租50萬,有代理指,於2014年鋪租高峰期,月租曾高達70多萬,惟新年再回落至50萬,此水平租金一直維持至撤出之前,故最新租金較舊租金跌約60%

力寶銀主盤呎售2.8萬重返三年前水平

受多項不明朗因素影響,甲廈市場觀望氣氛瀰漫,成交價持續下滑。消息指,金鐘力寶中心高層2伙銀主盤,合共面積3652方呎,以每呎造價約2.8萬沽出,涉資逾1.02億,低市價約5%,並重返3年前水平。

低市價5%

市場消息指出,成交為力寶中心2座高層0506室,合共面積約3652方呎,為銀主盤,以每呎約2.8萬沽出,涉資逾1.02億。業內人士指出,上述成交低市價約5%,並重返3年前水平,同時亦為甲廈市場過去一年首宗甲廈億元銀主盤成交。

年內首宗億元銀主成交

據土地註冊處資料顯示,原業主於2017年分別以8577萬及2376萬,合共1.09億購入,以公司名義東營魯方金屬材料(香港)有限公司,DONGYING LUFANG METALS MATERIAL(HONG KONG)COMPANY LIMITED持有,註冊董事為顏姓及崔姓人士,惟及後淪為銀主盤,最新成交價亦較購入價低約6.4%

據代理資料顯示,該甲廈2座低層單位,面積2450方呎,於20176月以6860萬成交,平均呎價約2.8萬,成交呎價與上述成交價相同。

大昌李永修:總投資額20億鴨脷洲住宅地興建中小戶

鴨脷洲海旁道住宅地皮,由近年主力發展港島豪宅的大昌集團以逾13.3億奪得,相隔8年再次得手,大昌執行董事李永修稱,是次地價屬合理市價之內,預計投資額約20億,並主力發展中小型單位。

大昌集團近年主力發展港島區豪宅,對於集團再次奪得地皮。李永修表示,是次出價屬合理市價,投資額涉及約20億,料以純住宅單位為主,並將會發展中小型單位為主,另部分單位作特色戶。對於投地方面,他再指,集團對不同地皮均有興趣,亦需補充土地儲備,而目前優質地皮罕有。

他再指,港區國安法推出,對樓市及投資者影響不大,目前樓市仍以用家為主導,加上未來土地及房屋供應仍不足,市場剛性置業需求大。

地價屬合理市價

近年該公司主力發展港島豪宅,對上一次奪得地皮為8年前,於125月以16.68億奪得的淺水灣道豪宅地皮,當時每方呎樓面地價約39672元;現時已發展為豪宅新盤淺水灣108,由8幢大屋組成,面積49638694方呎,並曾於去年2月公布該盤樓書,惟至今暫未公布銷售安排。另外,同系山頂賓吉道3號,由6幢洋房組成,早年已沽出1伙,現尚餘5幢大屋待售。

落成後料享海景

測量師認為,當區細單位供應不多,均主打大單位,而該盤主力發展細單位可迎合市場需求,由於地皮呈長條形,料日後落成後不少單位可享避風塘及深灣遊艇會一帶的海景,缺點為公共交通配套不足。而且是次標價反映近期一手市場熾熱,增加發展商對後市的信心。

是次批出的地皮位於鴨脷洲海旁道,地盤佔地面積約12150方呎,最高可建樓面約88282方呎。地皮呈長窄型,位置臨海,近海旁的一面可望向香港仔避風塘及深灣一帶,另一面則鄰近利東邨,生活配套完善。另外,賣地章程亦要求興建私家車及電單車車位,並要保養項目毗鄰的一幅斜坡。

此外,是次海旁道地皮的樓面地價,若與172月批出的同區利南道地皮,每方呎樓面22117元相比,短短3年間回落約31%

疫情受控 商舖交投低位反彈

本港疫情受控,消費市道有改善,而商舖投資者亦趁業主減價,重啟入市,令近日舖位買賣明顯從低位反彈。

24月份疫情嚴峻,商舖買賣甚少,而直至近一個月,疫情受控下,投資氣氛轉好,商舖買賣漸多。如上環文咸東街一巨舖易手,涉及地段8490號地下A舖及1樓,地下面積約2,321平方呎,1樓面積約5,661平方呎,合共約7,982平方呎,以約9,600萬元成交,呎價約1.2萬元。

據悉,該舖曾由餐廳租用,現已遷出。消息指,新買家為一家內地背景金融機構,擬購入舖位自用。原業主早於1988年,以1,258萬元購入,早前以1.2億元放售,現減價2成沽出。持貨32年轉手,獲利約8,342萬元,舖位升值6.6倍。

宏安沽大圍舖 15年升值3

另大圍道5565號金禧花園地下6號舖,面積約674平方呎,以約6,680萬元沽出,現時由便利店以每月約15萬租用,回報率約2.7厘。據了解,舖位原由宏安持有,早前以8,000萬元放售,最終減價16.5%沽貨。原業主於20051月用1,630萬元買入,持貨15年,升值3倍。

至於中細碼舖位,成交同樣增加,如灣仔謝斐道130號地下,面積約800平方呎,以約2,780萬元成交,舖位由茶餐廳以每月約6.8萬元租用,回報率約2.9厘。原業主早前以約3,500萬元放售,減價約2成沽舖。

旺角連錄舖位成交

旺角區亦錄兩宗買賣,如投資者李耀華以約4,400萬,購入旺角通菜街190號地下舖位,面積約1,100平方呎,現時舖位由水族用品店以約11.8萬元租用,回報率約3.2厘。至於同區咸美頓街1420號地下舖位,以約1,980萬元成交。物業面積約500平方呎,現由餐廳以每月4.9萬元租用,回報率約2.7厘。翻查資料,原業主於2011年以2,200萬元購入該舖,以及比鄰砵蘭街88號地下舖位,持貨9年轉手套現。據悉,業主仍持有砵蘭街88號地下,市值約1,500萬元。

分析指,疫症年初爆發,令零售及餐飲生意大跌,商舖租售價即回落,投資者亦乏興趣入市。近期舖位業主漸減價放售舖位,正值疫情漸受控,令投資者重啟入市興趣,故在減價效應下,舖位交投量回升。預計本地消費市道漸平穩下,料舖位交投向好。

莊士上環兩舊樓強拍 底價3.3

莊士 (00367)旗下公司早前向土地審裁處申請強拍,位於上環結志街16號及18號兩幢舊樓,審裁處昨日(28)頒下判詞批出強拍令,底價為3.32億元。

申請人為FAVOUR DAY LIMITED;答辯人為10名業主。根據判詞指出,申請強拍大廈位於上環結志街16號及18號,一幢6層高大廈,包括地舖及住宅單位。

結志街1618 6層高大廈

申請人於20193月提出申請時,已收購了逾82%業權,當時共涉10名答辯人,其後答辯人分別退出訴訟或已達成協議,部分則質疑重建後之估值,惟沒有任何答辯人就此呈交專家報告或任何證供,或出席聆訊。

審裁官最終裁定所涉大廈應該進行強拍,並接納專家及測量師的意見,認為涉案大廈日久失修,雖然花費維修可延長大廈壽命,但隨着時間過去,大廈損毁情況只會愈見嚴重,所花維修費用有增無減,故批出強拍令,並訂下底價為3.32億元。

華懋深水埗地中標價 高次標2.9%

財團搶市區地激烈 5標書出價差距10%

市區中小型住宅地競爭激烈,早前批出的市建局深水埗東京街,以及旺角豉油街兩幅地公布入標價。前者華懋中標價9.1億元,較次高標僅高2.9%,而由建材商奪得的旺角地亦只是較次高價高4.2%

市建局上月以約9.1億元批出深水埗東京街/福榮街項目予華懋,剛公布餘下16份標書的入標價。發展商中標價僅高於次高標價2.9%,而且最高價的5份標書出價差距僅10%內,反映發展商競爭激烈。

地皮在47日截標時,接獲17份標書,最後由華懋以9.128億元奪得,每呎樓面地價約8,770元,較201810月同區青山道市建局項目每呎樓面地價8,565元,僅略高205元或2.4%,不過由於青山道項目的商業樓面要交還市建局,實際可出售樓面的每呎地價為1.02萬元,因此意味該區地價在1年半下跌約15%

據當局公布的其餘入標價,連同中標財團,整體入標價介乎2.88億至9.12億元不等,每呎樓面地價介乎2,7678,770元不等,高低價差距2.2倍,中位數為6.6億元,即每呎約6,341元。若果以最高價的5份標書計,均高於8億元,差距在10%內,反映整體發展商的競爭尚算激烈。

豉油街蚊型地價 高次標4.2%

至於另一幅位於旺角豉油街蚊型地,亦在上月底由展光有限公司以4.67億元投得,政府剛公布餘下26份標書的入標價。發展商中標價僅高於次高標價4.2%,首5份標書出價差距大約15%

該幅地皮位於豉油街及上海街交界,可建樓面60,595平方呎,在4月中獲27份標書,最終由展光有限公司以4.67億元投得,每呎樓面地價約7,710元,但若果扣除地契內規定撥出1萬平方呎作政府設施,實際住宅樓面只有50,497平方呎,即每呎樓面地價9,252元。

地政總署公布餘下26份標書出價,整體出價介乎1.38億至4.67億元不等,以純住宅樓面計,每呎地價介乎2,7339,252元不等,高低差距2.4倍,中位數為3.18億元或每呎6,297元,整體分布算是平均。

最高價的5份標書出價約4億元或以上,差距在15%左右之內,中標價4.67億元只是較次高標價4.48億元,略高4.2%1,900萬元。

國安法落實 地產界料短期影響微

暫未見外資退租 企業需時判

港區國安法立法決定昨日正式獲人大通過,學者及地產業界普遍態度較觀望,有意見認為,美國短期內行動不會多,樓市暫未見影響,商廈市場方面暫未見外資退租潮,有測量師預計企業需時間判斷信息。

隨着港區國安法立法落實,加上美國不保證香港繼續享有特殊待遇,會否對香港經濟、樓市造成影響?若有外資撤走又會否影響商廈市道?

本報向多名地產業界及學者了解,普遍認為樓市、商廈市場未見有即時衝擊,在港外資企業需時判斷信息,即使有美資企業逐步撤出市場,豪宅、商廈的退租潮亦不至於短期內發生。

身為中原集團主席、創辦人的施永青認為,美國收緊香港特殊地位,並不是現時才出現,而是持續的趨勢,「遲早都會處理」,不過他相信美國短時間內會做的事情不多,例如取消港幣美元結算等不會立即做,會視乎自己的利益、「準備好幾多」才實施制裁。

至於樓市暫時未見受影響,施永青稱,樓市不是全民參與,買樓的業主取態有可能比較保守,覺得國安法的保障更加多。

或影響入市信心 樓價難大跌

美國克林信大學經濟系副教授徐家健亦認同,須視乎美國對港出招的程度,而且香港樓市有本地及內地客的實質需求,故即使美國撤香港特殊地位,對樓市的影響,主要體現於信心方面,很難觸發樓價下跌一半。即使有美資逐步撤出香港,豪宅、商廈物業或出現退租情況,不過情況不會在短期內發生。

「美國對上海及深圳也沒有特殊待遇,但樓價也不斷升,所以對香港不會有太大影響。」嶺南大學潘蘇通滬港經濟政策研究所高級研究員何濼生更認為,深圳的樓價亦能媲美香港,反映國安法不會令樓價大跌。

不過,資深投資者林一鳴擔心,若果美國不再保證香港繼續獲特殊待遇,會對經濟有影響,而打擊對象集中在中產人士,香港樓價就有機會下跌;惟仍要觀察多方面因素,例如美國總統特朗普能否連任,都有機會影響形勢。

在商廈市場方面,持有不少商廈收租的大鴻輝興業主席梁紹鴻則指,美國是否撤香港特殊地位及細則尚未清楚,暫未見機構撤資,本港甲廈近年受內地機構支撑,旗下甲廈主要為本地公司及內企,涉及美資不多,暫看不到有衝擊。

至於戴德梁行香港董事總經理蕭亮輝亦指,由於在港外資企業需時判斷相關信息,故暫時不會有任何撤離或收縮動作,而一般寫字樓租務涉及23年,現階段未出現機構取消租約。今年寫字樓市場主要受環球疫情影響,全年甲廈租金料跌逾1成。

另本港主要發展商代表的香港地產建設商會發表聲明稱,全力訂立港區維護國家安全法將有助於維護國家安全,捍衞一國兩制行穩致遠,對保障市民生命財產、促進社會繁榮穩定以及香港長治久安起積極作用。

疫情持續,以及將推出港區國安法,發展商仍積極購地,上周五截標的鴨脷洲海旁道地皮,於昨日開標,由大昌集團以逾13億,力壓其餘18間財團得手,每呎樓面地價15097元,高於市場估值,為該集團8年以來首奪地皮,另外,若與172月批出的同區地皮,每呎樓面地價22117元相比,3年間地價回落約31%

地政總署公布,鴨脷洲海旁道住宅地,由大昌集團以13.328億奪得,力壓其餘18間入標財團,以地皮可建樓面88282方呎計,每方呎樓面地價15097元。

市場原先估值約11.8億至12.2億,樓面呎價約1.2萬至1.3萬,目前較市場估值高。至於大昌執行董事李永修於上周五截標時曾指出,該地將發展中小型單位,而港區國安法,對投資者信心沒有太大影響,因本港房屋供應不足,而且需求大。

至於大昌屬老牌地產商,近年鍾情於港島豪宅地皮,對上一次奪得地皮,為約8年前,於125月以16.68億奪得淺水灣道豪宅地,每方呎樓面地價39672元,目前已發展為豪宅新盤淺水灣108,由8幢大屋組成,面積49638694方呎。

有測量師稱,地皮中標價較預期好,反映發展商對豪宅後市仍有信心,估計總投資額約22億至26億,項目落成後呎價由約2.8萬起。至於該地皮鄰近豪宅項目南灣,單位落成後可享避風塘一帶海景,由於地皮呈長條形,估計發展商主力發展中型單位,令較多單位可享海景。

另一測量師稱,地皮雖然交通不算便利,但具海景優勢,而且面積適中,投資風險較易控制,估計日後發展商會興建中小型單位為主,現時雖然市場波動,但地皮以理想價格售出,足證發展商對樓市發展具信心。

上環6重建項目 增建116萬呎商用樓面

上環近年有不少舊樓收購重建,成為區內新增商業樓面供應來源,區內6個重建項目,將提供約116.3萬平方呎樓面供應,包括早前永泰地產 (00369) 、資本策略 (00497) 等旗下的嘉咸街項目,獲批興建兩幢商廈及酒店,涉逾43萬平方呎樓面。

由於鄰近中環核心商業區,加上缺乏新增的土地供應,隨着商業區向周邊擴大,上環區內一帶的舊樓亦獲財團及發展商收購並進行重建。粗略估計,區內目前有6個重建項目,合共涉及約116.3萬平方呎樓面。

嘉咸街地皮 料建商廈及酒店

當中規模最大為嘉咸街項目C地盤,由市建局展開收購,並在201710月由永泰地產、資本策略以約116億元奪得發展權,可建樓面逾43萬平方呎,按照屋宇署最近公布的建築圖則。項目將分別重建成132層高商廈,以及127層高酒店,基座則為4層平台商場及2層地庫。

大鴻輝積極收購 涉約46萬呎樓面

大鴻輝興業則是區內最積極收購舊樓的財團之一,在區內持有干諾道西,以及德輔道西兩個地盤,當中在干諾道西94號至103號、德輔道西99101號的地盤面積達2萬平方呎,可建樓面最多約30萬平方呎,將重建成甲級海景商廈,投資額估計逾70億元。至於集團所收購的德輔道中212214號德輔商業中心,並計劃收購比鄰的永樂街舊樓一併重建,地盤面積約1.1萬平方呎,將建25層高商廈,連3層平台及1層地庫,總樓面約16萬平方呎。

內地房地產私募基金凱龍瑞亦參與進行收購重建,2017年以約2.2億元購入永樂街7880號兩幢舊式寫字樓,之後再收購入永樂街8286號、8890號多幢物業,組成約4,400平方呎地盤,預計可興建成16.6萬平方呎的商廈。

至於持有干諾道西152號港島太平洋酒店的信置 (00083)黃氏家族,亦向屋宇署申請建築圖則,研究將項目重建成25層高商廈,可建樓面面積約14萬平方呎。該酒店在1999年開幕,樓高29層,共提供約343間客房。

同時,由資本策略收購的威靈頓街曾昭灝大廈,該物業佔地約4,206平方呎,屬於「商業」規劃用途,地積比率15倍,可建樓面約6.3萬平方呎。中上環一帶舊樓收購重建活躍,除了重建成為商業樓面供應外,還有不少重建成住宅或者商廈項目,預計舊區的面貌將會有所改變。

旺角通菜街地鋪4450萬售

鋪市觀望氣氛濃,惟核心區鋪位仍備受追捧。近期頻入貨的資深投資者李耀華再度「出手」,斥資4450萬購入旺角通菜街「寵物段」一個地鋪,平均呎價4.45萬,回報逾3厘,成交價低市價約18%

市場消息透露,上址為旺角通菜街190號地鋪連入則閣,面積約1000方呎,作價4450萬成交,每呎造價約4.45萬,買家為資深投資者李耀華,該鋪門闊約146吋,現時由水族用品店以11.8萬承租,料回報約3.2厘。

投資者李耀華承接

李耀華接受本報查詢時,證實他購入上述鋪位,他表示,雖然近期市場受多項不明朗因素困擾,觀望氣氛未散,惟該鋪地點相當不俗,受社會運動影響亦較小,購入價為合理水平,該地鋪位租金處低於市價水平,故將來租金有機會作調整,可長綫收租,若「啱價」的話,亦可考慮出售;李耀華又說,儘管近期鋪市觀望氣氛仍濃厚,惟他仍睇好後市,料市場交投氣氛有力逐步回穩。

有代理分析道,該鋪位目前回報逾3厘,有上調空間,相對零售行業,寵物街受網購影響相對細,成交價低市價約18%

每呎4.45萬低市價18%

名錶店Franck Muller 棄租銅鑼灣旗艦店

3層舖月租250 將搬回中環自置物

疫情加上社會事件,零遊客下鐘錶珠寶店持續收縮。瑞士名錶Franck Muller銅鑼灣霎東街3層旗艦店,月租涉250萬元,近日約滿決定遷出,放棄多層旗艦店,搬回中環新落成自置物業,以省卻開支。

位於霎東街15Oliv商廈基座部分,由瑞士名錶Franck Muller租用,近日品牌約滿並遷出,舖位正進行裝修工程,料將重新招租。該地段比鄰時代廣場,即使人流暢旺程度不及羅素街,仍有不少零售、飲食品牌落戶。

翻查資料,Franck Muller2015年,即Oliv入伙時,以250萬租用物業地下至3樓,面積約9,500平方呎,打造成複式旗艦店,甚具氣派。

創新概念 美食腕錶crossover

品牌開店時加入創新概念,把美食與腕錶品牌crossover,開設Francesco by Franck Muller日式意大利餐。品牌兩年前續約,上月約滿,相信因應市況轉差,品牌決定節省開支而放棄多層旗艦店,日後搬回中環自置物業。

金利豐朱李月華擔任該手錶品牌亞太區主席,而她於2014年,以16億購入中環皇后大道中35全幢,地盤面積約為2,805平方呎,現重建成一幢4萬呎寫字樓,近日正式落成,商舖部分保留作Franck Muller之用,將可省回大幅租金開支。

Franck Muller屬高級名錶,獲不少本港名人捧場,包括藝人張智霖2013年起擔任亞太區品牌大使,去年尾他亦出席品牌宣傳活動。

疫情下奢侈品消費急跌,高級鐘錶品牌減據點,如勞力士(Rolex)銅鑼灣羅素街專門店,面積約2,693平方呎,品牌經營多年後即將約滿,預計將遷出,業主以150萬元放租。

另外,Swatch Group旗下手錶品牌寶璣(Breguet),寶珀(Blancpain),均於尖沙咀1881商場租用大樓面舖位,月租合共約600萬元,集團亦放棄據點。

首季4大零售區 跌租顯著

據代理資料顯示,首季4大核心零售區租金跌幅顯著,如中環呎租最新報534元,按季跌2成,而其餘3區跌幅亦達15%。空置率上升,而旺角核心主要購物地區空置率,由2019年第四季12.7%,急升至最新20%

由於本港經濟轉差,加上封關下欠旅客到訪,料核心區吉舖數字持續上升,租金續有下跌壓力。

疫情放緩 投資者趁機入市

早前業主減價放售物業,隨着本港疫情受控,投資者趁機入市,令近一星期市場出現數宗大手成交。

近日投資市場氣氛轉好,亦出現數宗工商舖大額成交。過去一星期,最大手買賣為上環新紀元廣場中遠大廈地下、1樓及2樓之商業單位以及位於3樓之辦公室單位,以及車位,以5億元成交,買家為結好控股 (00064) 。該集團不時投資物業,如數年前以約3.5億元,購入紅磡商業中心全幢,其後加以翻新。

據了解,涉及中遠大廈每層面積由3,59011,608平方呎不等,合共約27,808平方。該舖位曾由健身中心租用,亦曾作發展商售樓廠,現時交吉。按5億元成交價計,呎價近1.8萬元,另項目連同2樓及7樓停車場,合共19個車位,每個車位價值約400萬至500萬元。

新世界減價逾4成沽貨

翻查資料,物業原由新世界 (00017) 持有,今年初於市場放售,意向價約9億元。其後因應市況轉差,商舖價值下跌,現減價逾4成沽貨。

同區亦錄另一宗大手成交,上環干諾道中128號豫泰商業大廈多層,以約3.5億元沽出。涉及物業地下至3樓、811樓,合共8層樓面,總面積約1.72萬平方呎,以約3.5億元成交,呎價約2萬元。物業原由凱龍瑞基金持有,2017年以3.8億元購入大廈13層樓面,其後進行翻新工程包括大堂及外牆,並進行拆售,售出5層樓面後,如今8層獲一買家承接,全數沽出並獲利。

優品360 購觀塘商廈自用

另優品360 (02360)日前宣布,以1.77億元,購入觀塘絲寶國際大廈11樓全層,面積約1.68萬平方呎,呎價約1.05萬元,項目連同3個車位。該集團表示,現時租用同區寫字樓,購入寫字樓作總部之用。事實上,該廈上月亦錄買賣,國際皮具品牌Coach,以約1.85億元,沽出觀塘絲寶國際大廈15樓全層,呎價約1.1萬元。

早前疫情影響投資氣氛,特別商業市場,令工商舖買賣大幅下跌。隨着近一個月疫情受控,投資氣氛略轉好。此外,業主漸願減價放盤,令個別投資者認為可趁機入市,相信在疫情憂慮減低下,本地財團將重啟投資部署,料成交回升。

疫情影響承租力 藥房轉攻民生舖

受新冠肺炎疫症影響,零售行業首當其衝,過去受自由行旅客直接拉動的行業,包括藥房、化粧品店等等可謂首當其衝,承租力大不如前。綜合近日所錄藥房租賃個案,租金普遍出現回落迹象,紛紛轉租民生區街舖,平均呎租介乎47175元。

據資料顯示,新界區近月錄得數宗藥房租賃個案,屯門德政圍329號松苑地下01號舖位,面積約750平方呎,連同閣樓750平方呎,月租約7萬元,平均呎租約47元,租金較上年髮型屋每月月租10.4萬,下跌約33%

同區的啟民徑113號地下E舖,面積將800平方呎,亦獲藥房承租,月租約14萬元,平均呎租約175元,租金較上手財務公司每月15.8萬下跌約11%

元朗福德街 藥房12.8萬續租

此外,元朗福德街1836號地下2號舖,面積約1,200平方呎,原本由藥房承租多年,日前獲續租,新租金每月約12.8萬元,平均呎租約107元。

業界人士指出,受內地自由行旅客帶動,近年不少藥房以天價搶租零售核心區旺舖,一度成為租金急升的其中一個推動力。惟近期內地客完全絕迹,不少藥房退租核心舖位,例如尖沙咀海防道31號,面積約890平方呎,原由藥房租用,月租約50餘萬元,藥房3月退租,業主減至約20萬元放租,較前租金減半,可見藥房行業收縮,對舖租構成一定衝擊。

代理表示,經濟不景氣影響,相繼出現店舖倒閉潮,導致舖位租金普遍回落,空置率急速上升,因此吸引部分民生行業包括藥房重新部署,趁租金低企四出吸納承租優質舖位。代理指,受疫情衝擊下,個人及家庭抗疫之消毒衞生用品銷售急速上升,直接帶動藥房的經營利潤,故承租力較其他行業強勁,又指藥房首選民生區一綫地段落戶,選舖面積大約500850平方呎,並鍾情門面寬敞舖位。

1001 King's Road樓高25層,外牆為玻璃幕牆設計。物業電梯大堂需經由扶手電梯向上,顯氣派之餘亦更有私隱度。電梯大堂以樓層分流,每邊設有23部客用升降機,有效分流。而大堂亦設有2個小食店位置,設有來去水位,可作輕食店之用。

物業分為兩部分,312樓可作寫字樓或餐飲用途,當中89樓附有露台,整體景觀大致開揚;而1722樓則為商業及半零售樓層,多擁翠綠山景。

每層46007200

全層面積由4,6997,200平方呎不等,當中設有特色戶,連有天台或露台。另2325樓為項目頂層複式單位,面積分別約5,4114,699平方呎,該單位備有空中花園天台,可飽覽開揚城市及海景景觀,適合特色餐廳及食肆進駐。

項目位於英皇道,屬港島東區主要道路,出入交通相當方便。物業樓下設有多條巴士綫,亦可以選擇以電車出入港島多區。步行至太古或鰂魚涌亦方便。

周邊甲廈 呎租約50餘元

項目比鄰太古坊,區內商業條氛濃厚,參考比鄰的大廈成交,多盛大廈高層010311室單位,面積5,583平方呎,於去年11月,以月租約318,231元租出,呎租約57元。同座的中低層010911室,面積5,066平方呎,亦以268,498元租出,呎租53元。

中區商廈矜罕性高,但相對租金亦較高,因而近年部分企業在重組業務的考慮上,傾向把個別部門搬離核心商業區,以節省相關租金成本;加上近年北角至鰂魚涌一帶有多個全新落成的商廈項目,樓齡新,配套設施齊備,加上交通便利,因而吸引不少企業看好鰂魚涌商業群前景亮麗而進駐。

此外,港島東居住人口持續上升,太古城、康怡、南豐新村等龐大中產集中地,消費力不容忽視,對零售及飲食需求強勁,不論商業或零售樓面均見渴市。

西環皇后酒店意向4.5

近期當旅遊業大受打擊,酒店高空置率前所未有,有準買家於此時吼準低水酒店,有投資者則趁勢放售,西環皇后大道西皇后酒店全幢放售,意向4.5億,平均每呎1.68萬,料回報逾2厘。

上址西環皇后大道西199號全幢,現址為皇后酒店,樓高23層,總建築面積約26779方呎,以意向價4.5億計算,平均呎價16804元,物業現為一幢酒店,設有40個房間,平均每個房間涉資1125萬。

設有40個房間

代理表示,是次出售物業緊貼西營盤港鐵站A1出口,業主於十五年前購入,並改裝為酒店,至今經營十餘年,現時物業內裝雖然較舊,但房間面積均寬敞實用,新買家購入後可將物業裝修或改裝重新定位。代理指出,目前該全幢酒店出租予酒店營運商,每月租金40萬,由於現時為非常時期,若然市況回復正常,加上業主為酒店增值,料每月租金可提升至80萬,回報逾2厘。

代理又說,由於物業落成時為一幢寫字樓,買家可以把現有的酒店拆卸,並回復作寫字樓用途,或將酒店房間裝修,重新定位為服務式住宅/共享生活空間Co-living Space等,將回報進一步提高。

自從去年以來,反修例運動留下後遺症,加上肺炎肆虐,令投資市場急速降溫,根據高力資料顯示,鋪位及酒店成為重災區,自從去年以來,全幢酒店價格由高位回落約30%,由於價格下跌,成為財團吼準目標,希望在淡市撈底,而且酒店出路較多,可變身大增值。

可還原作寫字樓

過去數月,市場不乏酒店及服務式住宅成交,價格較高位顯著回落20%30%,最差時刻正帶來「撈底」良機。該行指出,環顧未來5年酒店供應相當稀少,以核心區為甚,況且,酒店用途多,可打造服務式住宅或者高質素的安老中心。

 登打士街鋪頻錄減租幅度介乎20%60%位處旺角「小食街」租金持續受壓

香港經歷示威及疫症後,飲食零售業大受打擊,鋪租急速回落,旺角鬧市的「小食街」登打士街,到處見吉鋪,近月紛錄承租,租金減幅由20%至逾60%不等,平均呎租逾100元,業內人士指,該街道吉鋪需時消化。

近期登打士街連錄承租,涉及43P43S號鴻輝大廈地下10號鋪,該鋪位於丟空逾半年後,近期以每月11.2萬租出,以建築面積約600方呎計算,平均呎租約186元,租客為連鎖餅店,租期為3年梗約,再加2年生約。前身為三文治小食店,早於10年前進駐,經歷鋪市高峰低谷,去年中,該鋪位月租14萬,業主因應市況轉差,將月租減至11.2萬,惟租客還是捱不住,最終選擇遷出。

租金返20年前水平

土地註冊處資料顯示,該鋪位曾於1997年中樓市高峰期,與一家涼茶店訂下6年租約,當時月租15萬,並指明於第五及六年,最高月租不能超過20.5萬,後於19992月時由便利店承租,月租11萬,現時最新月租重返20年前水平。

租約期五年

該街道亦有飲品店「轉場」,大位搬細位,每月節省五萬,涉及為43H號登打士廣場地下6號鋪,建築面積約300方呎,以每月約11萬租出,租客來自同一條街道的KOI The台式珍珠奶茶。

該台式珍珠奶茶店本來承租的5355號鴻達樓地下2號鋪,建築面積約600方呎,入則閣約300方呎,月租16萬,有見租客離場,業主即以每月17萬放租鋪位,惟結果該鋪位獲手機配件散貨場以6萬短租,平均呎租約100元,較舊租金16萬急跌約62.5%,而毗鄰單號鋪為一家台式飲品店,面積約370方呎,入則閣約370方呎,現租金6.8萬,呎租約184元。業內人士指,上述飲品店大鋪搬細鋪,月租節省5萬,旺市時不算大數目,市況淡靜時則可觀,此金額足以聘請數名員工,或相等於逾千杯的飲品。

飲品店大鋪搬細鋪

代理指出,登打士街「小食街」,位處旺角鬧市,去年中街道聚集本地客及自由行客,往往水泄不通,自示威以來,自由行客大減,生意大跌。由於其位置接近西洋菜街及彌敦道,示威高峰期時,小食店往往被逼停業。雖然如此,一些時段還是開門做生意,近期再受疫症困擾,由於人流少,晚上惟有提早關門。

由於人流減少,登打士街有家找換店,在今年3月期滿前雖未見營業卻一直如常交租。不過,當時,該鋪位鐵閘被貼滿街招,代理問業主該鋪位放租多少?業主錯愕話:「放租?我有租客租緊,仲準時交租喎!」業主了解之下,才發現原來市況差,旺角自由行客大減,租客做不到生意,找換店索性關門節省成本不開門,但履行合約,租照交。地產界人士盛讚好租客,市況差,要求減租或拖租情況普遍,難得有租客遵守合約精神,抵讚!該鋪位為登打士街43A43G號達利商業大廈地下5號鋪,面積約150方呎。

對正電梯望開揚海景

代理續稱,該甲廈位處金鐘港鐵站上蓋,近期市況受疫情衝擊,令該廈議價空間逐步增加,吸引個別實力租戶趁低進駐,冀以實惠租金落戶優質商廈以提升品牌形象。代理表示,是次招租單位分別位於大廈中層及高層,單位面積選擇多,租客可按需要選擇合適單位,且物業裝修及家具齊備,可即租即用。

中遠3961萬放售

另一代理指,上述放售物業為上環皇后大道中183中遠大廈1108室,面積約1343方呎,意向呎價約2.95萬,涉資逾3961萬,以交吉形式出售,亦可以股份轉讓形式交易。

多個市傳與新世界 (00017) 相關的舊樓收購項目申請強拍,當中九龍塘玫瑰苑收購至逾8成業權,市值約10億元。

玫瑰苑位於又一村玫瑰街2334號,在1967年落成,樓齡約53年,由223層高的分層住宅組成,合共66伙,並附設66個車位,由去年開始獲財團展開收購,每伙收購價介乎2,332.4萬至3,319.7萬元不等。財團成功收購至80.3%業權,達至申請強拍門檻,餘下13個單位尚未獲收購。物業現時市值大約9.95億元。

項目佔地約38,960平方呎,屬「住宅(丙類)」用途,最高重建地積比3倍,可建樓面11.69萬平方呎,相較現有的總樓面5.9萬平方呎,多近一倍;再加上位處豪宅地段,鄰近的海棠路62號洋房項目,每伙的成交價達1.1億至2億元,呎價亦達45萬元,故此頗具重建價值。物業現時由BREMONT INVESTMENTS LIMITED申請強拍,消息指為新世界或相關人士。

至於另一個項目,則為西營盤德輔道西331341號,位於新世界旗下瑧璈對面,現為66層高舊樓,樓齡介乎5964年不等,部分獲財團收購至6成至9成業權不等,亦有部分地段已完成收購,現時則申請透過強拍統一整個項目業權。

新世界相關3項目 值逾17

按照測量師報告指,項目現時市值約3.66億元,而地盤面積約5,062平方呎,現時是「住宅(甲類)」用途,如果以地積比率9倍發展,可建樓面約4.5萬平方呎。項目由Rising Radiant Limited等公司申請強拍,市傳亦與新世界有關。

此外,中環擺花街1117號亦獲財團強拍,現為4幢舊樓,樓齡均逾50年,獲收購62.5%92.86%業權不等,部分街號完成收購,平均不少於80%。據土地註冊處資料顯示,早前住宅每伙收購價約1,100萬至近1,373萬元,呎價約2.7萬元。

據了解,收購由威銘置業有限公司提出,董事包括黎曉萌及龍燕燕,不排除或與新世界發展有關。目前物業估值約4.1億元,地盤面積約3,000平方呎左右,現為「商業」規劃用途,最高地積比率15倍計,可建樓面約4.5萬平方呎,財團或連同旁邊的擺花街9號及19號一併重建,地盤擴大至約4,500平方呎。

綜合上述3個料與新世界相關的舊樓強拍項目,合共市值逾17億元。

最後一宗,則為西半山西摩臺4號及羅便臣道62E號,現時估值約1.42億元,料為恒地 (00012) 或相關人士,該財團在羅便臣道一帶成功併購多幢舊樓項目。

鄧成波放售5商舖 意向價約15

投資者見市況略轉好出貨減磅,舖王鄧成波放售5項商舖,意向價約15億。

據代理表示,有業主放售5項商舖物業。該5項物業全屬大樓面商舖,面積逾萬平方呎,並多由老人院租用。該批商舖均由波叔持有,相信因應市況略向好,即趁勢推出。

另外,位於佐敦吳松街4252號大觀樓地下至4樓,面積約2萬平方呎,意向價約2.8億元。翻查資料,波叔於2018年中,以2.5億元購入商舖。至於筲箕灣中心地下及1樓,面積約2.4萬平方呎,市值約3.6億元。5項商舖物業,合共意向價約15億元。

Hong Kong homebuyers enter the market, as developers dangle discounts to end nine weeks of slumping property sales

Hong Kong’s homebuyers came off the sidelines to nibble at more than 200 flats offered at two projects, as developers slashed prices to end nine consecutive weeks of sales flops.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), the city’s most valuable developer, managed to sell 162 of 200 flats, or 80 per cent of units offered in the first batch of the second phase of its Wetland Seasons Park project in Tin Shui Wai as of 9:30pm after cutting prices by up to 18 per cent. Easyknit International found buyers for eight of 26 units at The Ayton in Kowloon with discounts of as much as 8 per cent, sales agents said.

The sales result, which still pales in comparison with launches six months ago, is a minor cause for relief among developers, as they struggle to find customers to commit to big-ticket financial commitments during Hong Kong’s worst recession in decades. The city’s property sales flopped for the sixth time in nine weeks last weekend, as investors find themselves spoilt for choices while the residential real estate market slumps under a combination of a supply glut and recessionary woes.

“There is increased appetite to buy Hong Kong property,” a property agent said. “With everybody unable to travel, it’s giving [buyers] more time to focus on the market and take advantage of some discounts.”

SHKP dangled discounts of up to 18 per cent to keep the average price at Wetland Seasons Park at HK$11,368 (US$1,466) per square foot, with apartments in the 699-unit complex ranging from 416 to 721 square feet. The cheapest flat was a 499-sq ft unit at HK$4.9 million.

“Wetland Seasons Park continues to be popular [among] buyers, especially younger customers, who make up about 80 per cent of the buyers,” another agent. “About 40 per cent of the buyers are investors.”

The Ayton, with sizes between 228 sq and 677 sq ft, were priced at HK$29,800 per sq ft. A 228-sq ft flat was offered at HK$6.6 million in the 60-unit project.

The weekend’s new launch of projects came amid heightened political tension in the city, following the proposed national security law by China’s legislature, which could undo the improving interest of residents in the city to buy property, agents said.

“Buyers are becoming more focused on Hong Kong over other markets and investing money at home over international markets such as the US, which is showing increasing aggression toward China,” the agent said. “However, we will have to wait [and] see if the sentiment holds with the proposed introduction” of the national security law in China, aqent said.

The Hang Seng Index fell to a near five-year low as Beijing prepared to vote on the law that would allow it to tighten its grip on Hong Kong. Investors are known to be more cautious and generally stay away from the real estate market when the equity market is down.

Reports from Chinese media quoted buyers saying that they were not worried about the proposed law.

A buyer surnamed Chong, who bought a four-bedroom unit at the Wetland Seasons for HK$14 million, reckoned the legislation would only have a “short-term” impact on the property market.

“Home prices will be determined more by supply instead of political reasons. If the government cannot solve the housing shortage, prices will increase further,” he said.

Another buyer, who also bought a four-bedroom unit for HK$18 million, said he liked the project’s location and noted that the property would be more expensive if it was in an urban district.

鴨脷洲海旁道地皮截收19標書

鴨脷洲海旁道中型地皮昨日截標,共收19份標書,除大型發展商如長實(01113)及新地(00016)等外,亦有多家中資如佳兆業(01638)、中國海外(00688)等參與。部分認為不擔心國安法對樓市影響。

吸大型發展商及中資入標

項目吸引不少大型發展商入標,長實、新地、新世界(00017))、信置(00083)、嘉華國際(00173)、嘉里建設(00683)及中國海外等獨資入標;亦有不少中小型發展商入標,其中麗新發展(00488))則夥拍建灝地產合資入標;其餘發展商有大昌集團(00088)、其士國際(00025)、佳明集團(01271)及佳兆業集團。

大昌集團執行董事李永修指,是次獨資入標,若中標預計將興建中小型單位。李氏指,疫情難免對樓市有所影響,惟疫情減退後樓市會恢復。至於國安法料對樓市影響不大,因為現時買樓都為用家,樓市仍有需求。

佳明集團控股項目經理曾嘉敏指,出價方面審慎,屬市場預期價之內。多方因素影響下,料樓價短期有波幅,長遠「雨過天晴」。

佳兆業集團資本市場部總監蔡晉指,港島地皮尤其南區較為罕有,是次出價合理。至於樓價方面,蔡氏指本港屬「大灣區9+2規劃」內,受惠於大灣區概念,未來發展穩定。

Hong Kong’s Urban Renewal Authority to build more than 3,000 flats at redeveloped Kowloon City site

Hong Kong’s Urban Renewal Authority (URA) on Friday took the wraps off its biggest-ever project, a plan they say will turn housing blocks once allocated for civil servants into more than 3,000 residential flats, a fivefold increase from the site’s current number.

The two pilot projects in Kowloon City, first proposed by Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor in 2018, are expected to entail more than HK$10 billion (US$1.29 billion) in acquisition costs as the authority goes about the process of negotiating with existing residents.

URA director of planning and design Wilfred Au Chun-ho said the site was chosen due to the age of the housing blocks as well as their low density, which has not fully maximised the available space.

Other advantages included the buildings’ location near existing public housing estates, lack of competing acquisition actions by private developers, and relatively large size.

“The redevelopment will generate about five times the number of existing flats, from about 600 to 3,000, boosting housing supply,” Au said.

That number will easily outdistance the ongoing Kwun Tong town centre redevelopment, which will produce about 2,300 units.

The two Kowloon City sites, which currently host an estimated 610 households, are located on Shing Tak Street and Ma Tau Chung Road, as well as Kau Pui Lung Road and Chi Kiang Street. The first has a total area of about 5,160 square meters and is expected to yield about 640 residential flats by 2029.

The second, much larger site – near the future To Kwa Wan MTR station – boasts an area of about 16,470 square meters, and will encompass 2,500 flats by 2030-2031. An unknown number of units, to occupy about a third of the area, will be reserved for public housing.

Au said the area’s revamp will also create a “better pedestrian environment and more liveable community” through replanning and landscaping. Wider pavements, an underground shopping street connected to the future MTR station and an underground car park providing some 400 parking spaces will be among the improvements.

The existing flats were built under the Civil Servants’ Co-operative Building Society Scheme, which was in operation between 1952 and the mid-1980s. The government granted land to those who formed co-operatives – usually at a third of market value – to build their homes.

The owners, however, cannot sell their properties unless at least 75 per cent of members agree to dissolve the society. An owner wishing to sell also needs to pay the government a land premium – defined as the difference in the value of the property before and after redevelopment.

Currently, many of the flats are run down and vacant. Most do not have lifts and some are occupied by ageing retired civil servants. But redevelopment plans with private developers in the past have stalled due to disagreements over the land premium.

Of the 238 civil servants’ co-operative building societies in Hong Kong, 191 have been dissolved but only 12 have been redeveloped.

The URA will facilitate the legal process of dissolving the cooperative societies and the property acquisition by providing free legal consultation services to the flat owners.

Affected owners living at the site will have the option of purchasing subsidised flats via the Hong Kong Housing Society or other flats provided by the URA.

Lawmaker Tony Tse Wai-chuen, who represents the architectural, surveying, planning and landscape sector, said the plan was long overdue, as the old civil servants’ homes represented a huge reservoir of housing resources the city could tap into.

“It should not take nine to 10 years to complete the reconstruction. The URA should speed up the process to relieve Hong Kong’s housing crunch,” he said.

Leung Tak-yee, a retired civil servant affected by the development, said she welcomed the plan as her property that was built in the 1960s suffered from many structural problems, including roof that leaked when it rained.

The 72-year-old, who bought the flat in 1992 and lives there with three family members, demanded more clarity from the government.

“I want to know how much I need to pay back to the government in terms of land premium, because my compensation may be worth a lot less and not enough for me to buy other homes,” she said.

投資氣氛略轉好 工廈拆售趁勢推

本港疫情受控,而樓市氣氛轉好,業主趁機即推工廈拆售項目,入場銀碼較細,料吸引投資者。

近日市場上出現數個工廈拆售項目,代理表示,由THE BLOCK GROUP持有,位於葵涌永業街1420號華榮工業大廈7B室的工廈工作室項目THe BLocK近日重推單位放售。並錄得一宗買賣成交,該單位為B01室,面積約293平方呎,以逾142萬元售出,平均呎價約4,850元。

銅鑼灣劏場鋪350萬七年蝕讓40%

受市場淡風吹襲,劏場鋪位再錄蝕讓個案,銅鑼灣一個劏場鋪位,以350萬售出,平均呎價約5.7萬,原業主持貨7年,帳面虧蝕238萬,物業期間貶值40%

核心區商鋪再錄蝕讓個案,土地註冊處資料顯示,上址為銅鑼灣地帶1160號鋪位,於本月5日以350萬成交,買家以個人名義登記,該鋪位原業主於2013年以588萬購入,並以個人名義登記,為翁姓人士,持貨7年,帳面虧蝕238萬,物業期間貶值約四成。有代理指出,該鋪位面積約61方呎,平均呎價約57377元,儘管成交呎價不算低,但仍錄大幅蝕讓。

呎價57377

該商場位處銅鑼灣區內一綫街道怡和街,惟受社會運動於去年年中萌芽發酵,加上新冠肺炎於今年年初爆發,該地段首當其衝受影響。

資料顯示,該商場1樓單號鋪位,於去年7月以1800萬成交,原業主分別姓肖及姓孫,屬普通話拼音,於2013年以聯名形式購入,當年作價2622.5萬,持貨6年,帳面虧蝕822.5萬,物業貶值約31%

鴨脷洲地皮今截標財團出價趨保守

近期政府在疫情下接連推出地皮招標,其中鴨脷洲海旁道於今日截標。業界人士指,整體經濟轉差,前景未明,估值對比去年下跌15%,發展商在出價上轉趨保守,最新市場估值約11.8億至12.2億,每方呎樓面地價約1200013000元。

每呎估值1.21.3

因應項目位於豪宅地段,加上區內缺乏新供應,市場預期將備受財團爭奪。有測量師表示,由於是次地皮規模適中,總投資金額不高,加上港島區地皮較罕有,預計可以吸引中小型發展商入標,預計是次入標反應熱烈;由於地皮呈長條形,興建市場較受歡迎的中小單位的話,後未必所有單位都可享海景,發展商需在開則上要多花心思。最新市場估值約11.8億至12.2億,每方呎樓面地價約1200013000元。

較去年跌15%

測量師表示,在疫情下,目前經濟下行以及失業率上升等因素下,估計發展商在出價審慎及保守,最新估值比去年中下跌15%。由於該地皮屬中型豪宅項目,享海景,涉及投資額不大,同時發展商亦需補充土地儲備,料有吸引不少財團入標。料會興建中型單位為主,以吸引家庭客及換樓客。

該地盤位於鴨脷洲海旁道,地盤佔地約12150方呎,最高可建樓面約88282方呎。地皮呈長窄型,位置臨海,近海旁的一面可望向香港仔避風塘及深灣一帶,另一面則鄰近利東邨,生活配套完善。另外,賣地章程亦要求興建私家車及電單車車位,並要保養項目毗鄰的一幅斜坡。

Four-year Kowloon low for Vanke's new launch

Vanke Property (Hong Kong) has launched the first batch of units at The Campton in Cheung Sha Wan, offering 94 flats at an average price of HK$16,411 per square foot after discounts, the lowest in Kowloon in nearly four years.

The batch has offered 11 studio flats, 27 one-bedroom flats and 56 two-bedroom flats, ranging from 287 sq ft to 539 sq ft.

Wing Tai Properties (0369) will launch the sales of 108 units at OMA by the Sea in Tuen Mun on Sunday through a price list and will sell another 53 flats by tender from Monday.

The developer has sold 217 units for the project, worth a total of HK$1.13 billion.

Henderson Land Development (0012) will open the sales of Aquila Square Mile in Mong Kok on Sunday as well, offering at least 88 units, mainly one-bedroom.

After discounts, 17 of its units are below HK$5 million.

Meanwhile, Emperor International (0163) has named its serviced apartment project providing 99 units in the Mid-Levels as Central 8 and opened a show flat.

Elsewhere, Hip Shing Hong won the bid of an old building at Shau Kei Wan Main Street East at the reserve price of HK$804 million with no competitor.

In another bid, the redevelopment of an old building on Des Voeux Road West in Sai Ying Pun was awarded to Tai Hung Fai Enterprise at the reserve price of HK$700 million.

The Buildings Department approved 18 building plans in March, with five on Hong Kong Island, eight in Kowloon and five in the New Territories.

In the secondary market, a one-room unit at Corinthia by the Sea changed hands for HK$8.9 million, the second most expensive ever in Tseung Kwan O.

In Yuen Long, a 423-sq-ft flat at The Reach was sold to a first-time buyer for HK$5.8 million, or HK$13,712 per sq ft, after HK$200,000 was cut from the initial asking price.

16 MTRC projects to offer 22,000 homes

MTR Corporation (0066) chairman Rex Auyeung Pak-kuen said the company will launch 16 property projects in the next six years, offering around 22,000 units, while also revealing the company was facing heavy financial pressures amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

MTRC is still in discussions with the government about the proposed comprehensive residential and commercial development atop Siu Ho Wan Depot in Lantau Island, he said at the annual general meeting. The project is expected to provide around 14,000 private and public home units in the medium to long term.

The company has obtained the Consent Scheme for Phase 8 of Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O and plans to apply to the scheme for Phase 10 of Lohas Park and the project atop the Tai Wai Station, which are expected to offer a batch of small- and middle-sized units, said property director David Tang Chi-fai.

Auyeung said risks brought about by the global economic slowdown, rising unemployment rates and decreases in tourism have heavily impacted the company's financial condition and also predicted these negative impacts could last longer.

MTRC's passenger revenue and advertising revenue both slid amid the pandemic, while the company also needed to provide rent relief for commercial tenants at MTR stations, he said, adding that a weak economy may also impact the valuation of its investment properties.

When asked whether MTRC's dividend distribution would be impacted by the outbreak and social unrest, Auyeung said the board would maintain its current dividend policy, which depends on the company's business performance, capital expenditures, and financial conditions. The company declared a final dividend of 98 HK cents last year, totaling HK$1.23 per share for 2019.

Auyeung mentioned that the company has expended railway projects in China, Europe and Australia, and stressed that the financial situation was still stable.

Meanwhile, MTRC appointed Bunny Chan Chung-bun as an independent non-executive director (INED) of the board.

Chan has over 30 years of experience in the garment industry and is the founder and chairman of Prospectful Holdings. He is also an INED of Li Ning (2331), Great Harvest Maeta (3683), Speedy Global (0540) and Glorious Sun Enterprises (0393). Chan is currently a member of the Hong Kong delegation to the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China and the Council for Sustainable Development.

大鴻輝統一西環舊樓業權協成行斥八億購義德樓

市區土地供應緊張,近年不少財團透過強拍增加土地儲備,昨日連錄兩宗強拍,其中,大鴻輝昨以底價7億,統一西環德輔道西安慶樓舊樓業權。另外,協成行亦8.04億統一筲箕灣東大街義德樓業權。

大鴻輝昨亦以底價7億,統一西環德輔道西326332號及西安里11A11D號安慶樓業權。該項目強拍時大鴻輝已集齊約91.41%業權,最終在沒有對手競爭下,以底價7億統一權業發展。而項目地盤面積約6172方呎,「住宅(甲類)6」用途。

梁紹鴻:重建作商住樓

大鴻輝主席梁紹鴻回應指,項目即將着手拆樓及入則,計畫興建一幢28層高的商住樓,主打面積約400方呎的細單位,估計數目100多個,總投資額約9億。

代理表示,即使受疫情影響,惟財團收樓步伐未有放緩,認為早前法庭及土地審裁處因疫情關係而停擺,積壓不少個案。透露,未來集團仍有3宗強拍申請。

另外,協成行昨在無對手下,以底價8.04億,統一筲箕灣東大街義德樓業權。該項目強拍時,發展商已增持至96%業權,該項目地盤面積約7680方呎,屬「住宅(甲類)」用途,最高地積比率為9倍,可建樓面涉及6.9萬方呎。

方添輝:疫情下未放緩收購

協成行總經理方添輝表示,即使在疫情下,集團並未放緩收購步伐,並會按不同地區項目出價,同時在目前市況下亦會調整價錢。對於樓市發展,認為本港住屋剛性需求強,料樓市平穩發展,並不會重演2003年沙士時期樓價大跌情況。

另一代理表示,疫情之下發展商並未減緩收樓步伐,因許多項目一早已經開始進行,惟發展商會於收購時考慮疫情、中美貿易戰等因素,衡量風險才出價,料傾向保守。樓市方面,現時疫情緩和,買家重新出來物色樓盤,加上土地、屋房供不應求,縱然近期出現波動,但樓價出現斷崖式下跌的機率不高。

鴨脷洲地明截標料吸中小財團

測量師:有望挑戰港島標書新

港島中型地皮供應不多,鴨脷洲海旁道地皮周五(22)截標,市值最高14億元,由於規模適中,有測量師認為吸引中資及中小型財團入標,有望挑戰港島標書新高。

項目估值最高14

去年底截標的東半山大坑道地皮收25份標書、創港島官地紀錄,是次鴨脷洲海旁道地皮,測量師表示,預計地皮涉資額約15億至20億元,相信中小型財團有能力亦願意競投。

該測量師預計,投標反應好理想,加上同類地皮在賣地表供應少,大多數都是近百億計的市區地,「渴地」的中小型發展商會踴躍出價。惟現時環球經濟不明朗,地皮質素縱然不錯,發展商出價會計算安全系數,不會太進取,會反映相關風險。

該測量師指,地皮位置適合發展豪宅,一梯兩伙,可興建面積約1,5002,000平方呎的34房大單位,開則相信主要面向深灣一帶景觀,地盤周邊有樓盤遮擋,考發展商心思布局。

區內民生配套較少,相信要依靠附近樓盤或利東邨商場,前方亦有不少造船廠和維修廠,預計會有噪音問題。由於地皮呈窄長條形,靠山一邊未來開則難度較高,預計最好集中地皮的前方發展景觀較開揚。

賣地章程顯示,地皮最低3層可作商場發展,該測量師指,用地未設樓面上限,住宅樓面最高近9萬平方呎,未用盡地積比,可透過運算調整,要視乎發展商對區內商業未來的需求變化去設計。如以商業部分以2倍地積比計算,可建總樓面達9.9萬平方呎,總值約16億元。

另一方面,疫情使今年首季私宅動工量處低水平。根據屋宇署數字顯示,3月份有4個私人住宅項目動工(按屋宇署接獲上蓋建築工程動工通知為準),涉及685伙,終止連續兩個月均為零動工淡況。由於首季僅3月份有私樓動工,較去年同期2,020伙減少66%,創10年首季新低。按單一季度計算,為過去40個季度新低。

31413伙落成按月減25%

落成量方面,3月份有6個私人住宅項目落成,涉1,413伙,較2月份1,892伙減少25%,但數量仍有千伙之上。而今年首季共有3,726伙私宅落成,佔全年預測目標僅約18%,惟較去年同期大增約2.8倍。

Hong Kong’s government can turn its ‘rotten luck’ on Kai Tak land sales into a windfall for building homes, analysts say

Hong Kong can end a string of “rotten luck” in its recent public land tenders involving the former international airport site in Kai Tak by converting them into residential use to ease the city’s chronic housing shortage, analysts said.

The conversion could help the government reach its annual land-supply targets while boosting its coffers, according to surveyor. The idea is overdue as other facilities in the area, such as the Sports Park, are springing up fast, real estate consultancy said.

 

The government has failed to find buyers in three commercial sites on the east side of Kowloon Bay for various reasons, crimping its revenues and ability to increase public housing. The stretch coincided with anti-government street protests and the coronavirus outbreak that sent the city’s economy into a recession.

“Selling land needs right timing and the government has had rotten luck in finding buyers for commercial sites in a poor economic climate,” a surveyor said. “The land conversion idea can help support its land-supply targets.”

 

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po broached the idea on May 14, a day after the government withdrew Site 4, Site 5(B) and Site 10 in Area 2A as bids came below its undisclosed reserve price. Four parties including Sun Hung Kai Properties and CK Asset Holdings had expressed interest in the first tender of the new financial year.

The government would consider converting the Kai Tak commercial sites for residential purposes, Chan said at a public event, without specifying any particular plot. The Civil Engineering and Development Department is conducting a technical feasibility, he added, without elaborating.

The May 13 tender was the third failed sale since Hong Kong carved up the former airport site into redevelopment parcels. The plot known as Area 4C Site 5 was withdrawn in January 2019, while Area 4C Site 4 failed to sell in a September retender exercise.

The three failed tenders have cost the government at least HK$21.2 billion in missed revenues based on estimates by three property surveyors. Covering a total area of 430,100 square feet (39,957 square metres), they can potentially add 4,000 new homes to the existing housing stock.

“The proposed change to residential will certainly receive general support from Hongkongers, given that the government has struggled to ease housing shortage,” surveyor said.

The former airport site has contributed its fair share to the city’s treasury since at least June 2013. In the just-concluded year to March 31, it contributed to a record haul of HK$110.07 billion from land sales, including other record-setting tenders. It could have been higher had Goldin Financial paid up, instead of walking away from its winning bid,

The last flight out of Kai Tak airport took place in 1998, a year after the handover to China, with the operations relocated to the reclaimed site on Chek Lap Kok island.

In a 2011-12 policy address, the government unveiled its vision of turning an area comprising Kai Tak, Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong into the city's second core business district, to complement the bustling Central district and ease rocketing property prices.

The plan development for Kai Tak covers 328 hectares of land to accommodate 134,000 residents in 49,900 housing units. Five per cent of the site allocated for commercial use, 13 per cent for residential and as much as 30 per cent for open space.

Much still needs to be done after almost a decade.

The government had failed to meet its land supply targets in two of the past five years. In the financial year just ended on March 31, it provided land bank sufficient for building 12,190 flats, or 9 per cent below its aim. The government has set an average 18,800 units as its annual target from 2019 to 2023.

The cumulative shortfall in public housing, totalling 23,300 units since 2013, is equivalent to about two Taikoo Shing Estates on Hong Kong Island, according to report published by local think tank Our Hong Kong Foundation in April.

Property developers have been reluctant to place big bets given the large investment outlay and long gestation period, surveyor said. Converting them into residential use is “a better option” and could generate a windfall to the city’s coffers, the surveyor added.

Residential plots in Kai Tak can fetch up to HK$11,000 per sq ft, almost double their valuation as commercial sites, Lam estimated.

“The [Kai Tak] site cannot wait any more,” the surveyor said. “The Sports Park nearby is going to launch very soon. It makes no sense to let such a big site nearby sit empty when the park makes its grand debut.”

Cheung Kong wins starter-home site for $4.95b

A site on Anderson Road in Kwun Tong, where at least 1,000 starter home units shall be developed, has been awarded to CK Asset (1113) for HK$4.95 billion, or HK$4,546 per buildable square foot, at the lower end of market valuation.

CK Asset said it is pleased that the group won the bid and it hopes to contribute to the SAR's housing supply through such development projects. Surveyors previously valued the site between HK$4.6 billion and HK$7.1 billion, or HK$4,200 to HK$6,500 per buildable sq ft.

The price shows developers are bearish on the market, a surveyor said.

The site with development limitations earlier only received nine bids, including ones from China Overseas Land & Investment (0688), Sino Land (0083) and Wheelock Properties.

All residential units to be built should range from 250 sq ft to 500 sq ft in saleable area, among which 20 percent shall be studio units, 25 percent shall be one-bedroom units and 55 percent shall be two-bedroom units.

After the developer obtains the occupation permit, the government will randomly select no less than 1,000 starter home units, including 200 studio units, 250 one-bedroom units and 550 two-bedroom units.

The developer is required to offer these starter home units for sale at 80 percent of market price to eligible applicants.

In 2018, Chinachem won another plot of residential land at Anderson Road for HK$3.11 billion, in which the Buildings Department allowed four residential buildings to be built on the site.

Elsewhere, CHFT Advisory and Appraisal valued the residential site on Praya Road in Ap Lei Chau at HK$1.18 billion to HK$1.22 billion, or HK$12,400 to HK$13,000 per buildable sq ft.

Meanwhile, a 242-sq-ft flat at Amoy Gardens changed hands for HK$5.12 million, or HK$21,190 per sq ft, hitting a new high at the estate, according to property agency.

In the primary market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) released 123 flats in the third price list of Wetland Seasons Park Phase 2 in Tin Shui Wai, at an average price of HK$12,639 per sq ft after discounts. The developer will launch 200 flats for sale on Saturday.

And Vanke Property (Hong Kong) will tomorrow open show flats of The Campton, which offers 467 units.

In other news, the one-month Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, which is linked to the mortgage rate, slid for seven days in a row, down by 2.45 basis points to 0.59101 percent.

樓面呎價4546元較兩年前私樓地低60%安達臣道首置地49億批出長實力壓八財團奪標

在疫情仍未受控及經濟下行陰影下,於上周五截標的觀塘安達臣道首置盤地皮,在昨日開標,由長實以四十九億五千一百萬元勇奪,擊退其餘八家財團,每方呎樓面地價四千五百多元,符合市場預期,惟比對八年初同區批出的私樓地皮,每呎地價達一萬二千元,跌幅逾六成。

本報地產組

安達臣道首置盤地皮為港人上車盤先導項目,亦為首個作混合式發展項目,該項目於上周五截標,當時吸引九家財團入標,主要為本地藍籌發展商之爭。地政總署昨日公布,由長實以四十九億五千一百萬奪地,樓面呎價約四千五百四十六元,力壓其餘八家財團得手,而其餘入標發展商分別為會德豐地產、華懋、信和、嘉華、佳明、中國海外、另外恒基、遠展及帝國集團則合資。

近兩年來首奪大型項目

長實執行董事吳佳慶回應查詢時指,集團對投得安達臣道地皮感欣喜,冀透過有關發展項目為香港房屋供應作出貢獻。

是次亦打破該公司接近兩年來未有投得地皮的悶局,該集團於一八年八月取得黃竹坑站三期「巨無霸」商住項目;而以政府地皮計,對上則為一六年九月、以十九億五千三百萬奪得九肚麗坪路地皮。

吳佳慶:冀對房屋供應作貢獻

該地盤佔地約二十一萬七千方呎,可建樓面約一百零九萬方呎,為第二個「港人首置上車盤」先導項目,受不同的限呎及條款「捆綁」,並反映在地價上。區內對上一幅私人土地為一八年初、華懋以逾三十一億一千萬奪得,樓面呎價約一萬二千元,比較是次地價兩年間低逾六成;此後,政府將安達臣區內六幅私樓地皮撥作公營房屋,另一幅則為是次招標的首置地,令區內發展規模大變天,並以公營房屋主導。業內人士指,是次出價符合市場預期,惟現樓形式推售,無法預售樓花,對日後開售的時間表有所約束,及增加風險。

有測量師認為,中標價屬合理,且該區以公營房屋為主導,及以現樓形式推售,加上同一樓盤的私營公營比例對地價很有大影響,認為發展商出價已經考慮上述因素;另外,指該首置單位加私樓的混合發展模式對日後有指標作用。

業界:地價具指標作用

另一測量師表示,中標價已反映政府亦有因應市場最新情況,以及地皮本身的發展模式而調整底價,屬隨行就市。另外,賣地條款複雜,首置單位數量亦多,地區配套不足、投資額大等因素都影響出價。指該地皮有指標作用,亦了解發展商對發展首置盤的反應正面。相信政府會在未來一些合適的地皮如東北發展區出售上加入相關「首置」條款,以私人發展商的力量去加快公共房屋的興建。估計落成後每呎可售約一萬五千元起。

疫情影響 灣仔乙廈呎租低見20

受到疫情所影響,商廈租金亦明顯下跌,當中灣仔乙級商廈新銀集團中心早前有低層單位,呎租低見20元,比起東九龍的工廈活化項目租金更低。

新銀集團中心呎租 十年新低

位於告士打道的新銀集團中心一個低層單位,以呎租僅20元租出,為該廈過去10年來最低呎租個案。相較之下,現時觀塘區由工廈改裝而成的商廈呎租不少達20元左右。上址業主早於2011年以2,468萬元購入,現租金回報約2.9厘。據悉,該廈對上一宗最低呎租租務成交,同為上述單位,於200912月以呎租20元租出。

另外,同區樂基中心業主新近收回9124層樓面,改裝成為全新辦公室及多用途空間,翻新後再分間成每層11伙的多用途辦公室出租,單位面積由289578平方呎,呎租約36元起,即月租由10,404元起。

由於樓層前身為酒店,故業主保留單位內去水位等設計,大部分單位均設有24小時熱水淋浴間及洗手間,方便租戶工作,單位亦可按租戶要求提供辦公室家具,方便租戶即租即用。而項目目標租戶亦多元化,由工作坊、樓上商店及美容等亦見合適。

舊樓重建增 灣仔添186萬呎商用樓面

近年灣仔區有不少重建項目,發展商將收購得來的舊樓重建成商廈,爭取更高地積比率,區內6發展項目,預計可為該區帶來約186.2萬平方呎新商用樓面。

合和中心2 建綜合商業大型項目

灣仔位於中環金鐘核心商業區,以及銅鑼灣的零售旺區中間,過往區內住宅、商業混雜發展,謝斐道以北比較多商業大廈,而灣仔道以南則屬住宅段,不過近年由於核心區商業土地供應不足,區內舊樓重建成商廈的趨勢有所蔓延。

目前區內共有6個重建項目,合共提供約186.2萬平方呎新商用樓面,包括區內兩大地主太古地產 (01972) 及合和均積極在區內擴展版圖。當中合和以皇后大道東的合和中心為根據地,向周邊進行收購重建,而規劃逾30年的合和中心2期項目亦已展開,將會興建成酒店、辦公室及零售的綜合商業大型項目,可建樓面約109.4萬平方呎。而比鄰的皇后大道東153167號項目,將會興建1幢小型銀座式商廈,以配合合和中心1期及2期的發展,估計項目最快於20212022年分別落成。

至於太古則由早年購入前域多利兵房的用地,興建成金鐘太古廣場的旗艦項目之後,亦向灣仔區擴大版圖,包括在永豐街、星街一帶收購,並重建成太古廣場3期。

太古重建項目 2023年落成

近年太古的收購版圖進一步擴大,就皇后大道東的寶華大廈、比鄰晏頓街212號及蘭杜街111號舊樓集齊業權後,並展開重建。項目佔地約1.44萬平方呎,預計將重建成128層高商廈,樓面涉約21.8萬平方呎,預計2023年落成。同系於星街小區也有部署,其中永豐街2131號舊樓完成收購,將會興建一幢商住樓宇,預計明年可推售樓花。

另外,友邦保險 (01299) 亦將位於司徒拔道1號的總部友邦大廈,重建成118層高連4層地庫的商廈,樓面涉約25.5萬平方呎,預計重建後會保留為集團自用,估計需時約4年。

至於鄰近港鐵灣仔站的軒尼詩道及駱克道一帶不少舊樓物業林立,新地 (00016)則就天樂里附近的祥樂大樓統一全數業權,將計劃重建作寫字樓發展,涉及可建樓面約13.1萬平方呎。

土瓜灣舊樓 中資財團申強拍

梁朝偉擁1舖位 估值839萬較購入跌4

近年財團活躍收購舊樓,連影帝梁朝偉亦遇上收購強拍,其在2013年以1,500萬元購入的土瓜灣地舖,遭中資龐源集團申請強拍,最新該舖市值估值只有839萬元,較購入價大跌4成。

上述提及的舖位位於新柳街2A號,梁朝偉在2013年年底以1,500萬元購入。舖位所在的高山道26號、新柳街2A2B號舊樓,去年底開始獲龐源集團收購,近期購入至逾83%業權後,向土地審裁處申請強制拍賣餘下的3間舖位。

根據財團提交的測量師報告指,梁朝偉所持有的新柳街2A號舖,最新市值只有839萬元,比起7年前的購入價1,500萬元低44%,而旁邊的新柳街2B號、高山道26號舖位就分別市值998萬及1,096萬元。據測量師報告指,估值考慮到疫情、舖位面積、舖面寬度等因素而下調估值。

不過,由於估值報告只是反映物業現時市值,法庭會考慮其重建價值,按照過往情況,最終拍賣底價大多為市值1倍以上,故此梁朝偉最終亦未必需要蝕讓。

恒地加快旺角舊樓收購

另外,旺角利奧坊曦岸近期推售,發展商恒地 (00012)亦加快同區的舊樓收購,就大角咀道177191號申請進行強拍,將會作為利奧坊第7期項目。該批舊樓樓齡63年,市值約3.9億元,已收購89成業權,可建樓面約8.1萬呎,估計可提供約200多伙,據知已經規劃作為利奧坊第7期。

此外,中資財團亦強拍深水埗醫局街227233號單號舊樓,估值約1.6億元;裕泰興家族羅守弘旗下的文化村,則就油麻地廟街181183號申請強拍,樓齡57年,估值約6,191萬元。

Sentiment brightens as luxury homes move on

More luxury homes have been sold, including two units in Dukes Place at Jardine's Lookout for HK$438 million, a unit at Trafalgar Court for HK$90 million and a house in Kowloon by China Overseas Land & Investment (0688) for HK$153 million as market sentiment brightens.

Dukes Place is jointly developed by CSI Properties (0497) subsidiary Couture Homes Properties, Asia Standard International and Grosvenor Asia Pacific.

A total of 980 primary home units have been sold this month with a recovery in the property market, the largest number in a month since the Covid-19 outbreak. However, the would-be buyers of 12 new flats have forfeited their deposits in May.

Chevalier International (0025) has named its new project at Tai Kok Tsui, jointly developed with the Urban Renewal Authority, as Sablier.

The project offers 144 home units, more than 60 percent of them single-room flats.

Wing Tai Properties (0369) has released the fourth price list of its Oma by the Sea in Tuen Mun, offering 108 units at an average price of HK$13,416 per square foot after discount.

In the secondary market, the owner of a 1,510-sq-ft duplex apartment at Starcrest in Wan Chai lost more than HK$10 million after selling it for HK$54 million.

The one-month Hibor, meanwhile, dropped by 2.89 basis points to 0.61554, the lowest in more than two-and-a-half years.

In the shop rentals market, Milan Station (1150) rented out a shop on Wellington Street with a 20 percent higher rent. Oriental Watch (0389) continued to rent a shop in Hysan Plaza.

Ten percent of respondents believe it is a good time to buy property, the highest in nine years, while 57 percent expect home prices to fall in the next 12 months, a sharp increase of 15 percentage points before the Covid-19 pandemic, says Citi Hong Kong.

Property prices are expected to fall between 7.5 percent and 10 percent this year, but the impact will be slightly less than what was witnessed during the 2003 SARS epidemic.

港島核心區優質乙廈 交投量將轉活

本港肺炎疫情反覆不定,即使疫情受控,經濟活動復甦需時,拖累寫字樓租買表現,近月港島多區甲廈空置率按月上升,買賣價及租金走勢仍待觀察;而隨着核心區投資價值看高一綫,個別優質乙級商廈近期備受名人垂青,趁低吸納作長遠投資。在名人效應下,預料港島核心區優質乙級商廈買賣交投量將會轉活,特別是全層矜罕樓面更會成為吸納對象。

商廈前景未許樂觀,但本港金融中心根基鞏固,港島核心區寫字樓長遠投資潛力仍然看俏。因此,在逆市下有個別實力投資者趁物業造價下滑及議價空間擴大,成功入市優質單位,預料商廈買賣宗數將會較上月回升。

中全層物業成市場焦點

根據代理統計,4月份港島4大核心區甲級商廈空置率錄得升幅,包括金鐘、銅鑼灣、中環及灣仔,上升幅度約0.1%1.16%不等,當中最大增長為銅鑼灣區,最新甲廈空置率錄得約8.22%。而中環作為核心中之核心,該區甲廈空置率向來為市場指標,過往多徘徊於1%3%,惟中環最新甲廈空置率已上漲至約4.54%,按月上升約0.42%,中區甲級商廈亦跟隨大市調整。

整體甲廈空置率上升,市場把焦點轉移至核心區乙級商廈,當中全層物業更成為市場焦點,實力投資者趁低吸納優質單位,近月中環區錄得數宗名人入市個案。例如利國偉家族人士斥資約2.86億元購入中環永安集團大廈16樓全層,面積約11,062平方呎(未核實),成交呎價約25,854元。資料顯示,永安集團大廈向來放盤量少,特別全層樓面更見鳳毛麟角,該物業對上一宗全層成交要追溯至2010年,該成交為23樓全層,可見全層單位罕有度高,加上中區全層逾萬呎放售盤源亦極為罕有,因而吸引買家出手。

料名人投資者趁低入市

此外,亦有名人家族趁低價增持物業,澳門前賭王傅老榕後人傅厚民買入中環安蘭街1819樓全層,面積約2,448平方呎(未核實),作價約7,375萬元,平均呎價約30,127元。翻查資料,傅厚民於2019年中以約8,200.8萬元購入該廈18樓全層,面積同約2,448平方呎(未核實),成交呎價約33,500元,即最新呎價較其下跌約一成,獲同幢業主趁低加購。

核心區甲級寫字樓買賣價及租金雖見下滑,但由於抗跌能力高,呎價及租金叫價相對較高,因而令近期買賣及租務交投處於膠着狀態,然而地理優勢仍為企業入市重要考慮因素,加上個別優質乙級商廈質素不俗,全層樓面更屬矜罕,最重要是業主叫價相對克制,故在低息環境下容易成為投資者及用家入市首選。筆者相信,香港商業地位具有長遠優勢,核心區寫字樓投資價值仍被看高一綫,預料隨着陸續有更多名人及實力投資者趁低入市,預料優質全層商廈物業將會在短期內受捧。

交投聚焦長沙灣 新甲廈料受捧

今年大額買賣交投較多為長沙灣區,隨着商業氣氛轉濃,區內將有全新商廈項目落成,料推出時可獲投資者及用家注視。

受疫情影響,今年大額投資買賣不多,而成交較集中於長沙灣區,如今年1月,長沙灣青山道550556號恆發工業大廈全幢,以約11億元易手,買家為本地財團。該廈樓高12層,地盤面積約15,837平方呎,現時總樓面面積約156,087平方呎,最多可重建約190,044平方呎樓面,以11億元成交價計,每呎樓面地價料約5,788元,預計新買家將重建成商廈項目。

第一集團 今年購入兩工廈

另外,第一集團近在上月兩度入市購入長沙灣全幢工廈,該集團先斥7.9億元購入,長沙灣道924926號利洋中心全幢。項目地盤面積約1.2萬平方呎。其後集團以6.4億元購入比鄰長沙灣道916922號,並指兩地盤合併發展,總地盤面積增至約2.16萬平方呎,若以地積比率12倍計算,預計可重建樓面約26萬平方呎,料總投資金額約28億元,最快於2023年落成。

財團購入工廈日後重建,事實上,本港大型發展商近年積極吸納長沙灣商業地盤,新世界 (00017)更是積極在長沙灣投地,20162月,先以約78億元購入瓊林街商貿地,每呎樓面地價約7,808元,同年5月再下一城,斥資逾40億投得近長順街商業地。20178月更以29.6748億元投得永康街商貿地,三幅地皮共涉樓面約190萬平方呎,涉資約150億元。

荔枝角道888號料下月推

近日樓市氣氛轉好,發展商即推住宅及工商新盤。消息指,新世界料快推出長沙灣荔枝角道888號甲廈項目,預計呎價約1.3萬元起。物業樓高31層,寫字樓由531樓,而地庫設3層停車場。而頂層3031樓為特色樓層,每層面積20,20023,600平方呎,每層提供約14個單位,項目料於20224月落成。業界人士透露,發展商有望下月推售,市場人士估計呎價約1.3萬元起,按單位面積最細約1,200餘平方呎起計,入場費約1,500萬元,料獲投資者及用家捧場。

高銀蝕讓效應區內地價大貶值啟德13幅住宅地跌價逾15%

在疫情影響下,經濟前景未明,而且高銀金融於上周蝕讓啟德住宅地效應,導致區內住宅地價大貶值,以近兩年同區批出13幅住宅地計,地皮即跌價逾15%

啟德區近年為土地供應重鎮,近兩年來政府已批出共13幅住宅地,惟在社會運動及疫情影響下,進一步打擊本港經濟,而且原先由高銀金融持有的4B4號地皮,於上周以70.4億沽出,並預期虧蝕逾25億,即時令同區住宅地皮身價大跌。

涉及商業部分跌幅較高

有測量師表示,近期地皮連一連串不利因素影響,加上高銀蝕沽啟德地下,目前區內已批出的13幅住宅地,其最新估值較購入價跌逾15%,最高跌價約26%

最高跌價約26%

該測量師續指,惟自去年中社會運動開始,整體經濟轉差,不少商業地流標收場,加上疫情影響,進一步打擊本已陷入衰退的本地經濟,樓市亦急速逆轉,該區地皮前景亦令人擔憂,當中涉及商業部分的地皮,其身價跌幅較高,如1F1號地,最新樓面地價估值約13600元,較2年前中標的每呎樓面約17776元,跌約24.1%

另一測量師指出,本港整體經濟大環境轉差,近期亦有地皮以低價批出,加上該區商業地流標,為區內增加不明朗因素,因而導致整區地價下跌。

New homes hit the market as nano flats feel the heat

A property agency recorded 19 secondary transactions at ten major housing estates over the past weekend, down by 13.6 percent week-on-week, as developers continued to launch new home sales in the primary market, while rents of nano flats came under downward pressure.

Laguna City in Kwun Tong and Metro City in Tseung Kwan O recorded no secondary transactions at all.

In Fanling, a 520-sq-ft flat at Fanling Centre changed hands for HK$7.18 million, or HK$13,808 per sq ft, after HK$20,000 was cut from the asking price.

In the primary market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) released 70 flats in the second price list of Wetland Seasons Park Phase 2 in Tin Shui Wai, at an average price of HK$11,779 per sq ft after discounts, 3.6 percent higher than the first price list.

The first two batches of the project have been oversubscribed 8.5 times with around 2,000 checks received for 210 units.

Meanwhile, around 2,000 prospective buyers for Aquila Square Mile in Tai Kok Tsui, visited the project's show flats located in Central, between Friday and yesterday.

And in Yuen Long, Road King Infrastructure (1098) sold 11 flats at Crescent Green over the past three days.

Property agency expects the number of primary transactions to hit 2,000 this month.

But there were also two cases of forfeited deposits of around HK$220,000 and HK$300,000 after purchases of two flats at Emerald Bay in Tuen Mun were canceled.

The HK$220,000 forfeiture involved the would-be purchase of a 229-sq-ft studio flat at Emerald Bay Phase 1, which was priced at HK$4.37 million. The HK$300,000 forfeiture related to a 372-sq-ft flat at Emerald Bay Phase 2 that the purchaser had agreed to buy this month for HK$5.95 million.

In the rentals market, rents of micro flats came under downward pressure. A 166-sq-ft studio at AVA 55 in Kowloon City was rented for only HK$8,000 a month, or HK$48 per sq ft.

And in Pak Shek Kok, a 248-sq-ft studio flat at Solaria was let for only HK$8,900 last month, or HK$36 per sq ft, after HK$2,100 was cut from the asking price. The rental yield was only 2.1 percent per annum, as the owner purchased the unit for HK$5.15 million in 2018.

商廈驚現頂租放盤潮中環金鐘成重災區疫市下前景未明朗租戶紛提前離場

疫市持續多時,經濟前景未明顯,不少企業經營困難,惟有縮小規模甚至結業,紛放棄所承租的據點,提早離場,令商廈市場驚現頂租放盤潮,核心區中環金鐘成為重災區。

業界人士指出,租戶推出頂租放盤,皆因租約有私人擔保,不能隨意撤走了事,因而找新客頂替。市場上頂租放盤向來不多,惟近期市場湧現頂租放盤,分布單一業權或散業主大廈,且不乏大面積及全層單位。

全港逾100個頂租放盤

當中,中環皇后大道中9號目前有5個頂租盤,全部逾3000方呎,租期長達2023年;美國銀行中心6個,包括一個全層單位;中環中心更多逾10個,細至2000方呎,大至逾萬呎的半層單位。有代理透露,現時全港商廈共有逾100宗頂租放盤,中環金鐘成為重災區。

過去十個月以來,整體甲廈租金普遍跌幅30%50%,因此,租客即使幸運地找到有人頂租,都要支付新舊租金差價,代理舉例說,以美國銀行中心一個面積約5500方呎單位為例,新月租(32萬,每呎60)與舊月租(52萬,每呎95),月差20萬,若果於20214月約滿,期間10個月租金差價涉200萬。

舊租客支付差價

舊租客可「一筆過」或逐月繳付差價。「不過,既然做不下去,未必有能力一次過賠償,通常逐月支付,亦有業主視乎情況,以折扣價收取賠償額。」代理續說。

代理說,生意人都懂計算,有裝修的租盤向來受捧,尤其疫市下開業的更加實際,因此,頂租放盤吸引力在於裝修,放盤叫租貼近舊有租金,或低約10%,惟最後都以市價租出。他又說,商廈裝修簡單,不像鋪位投入生財工具,舊租客沒有「頂手費」可收。

另一代理表示,近期政府推工資補貼為企業舒困,惟一些公司面對全球嚴峻環境,加上示威及疫市後遺症,導致經營困難因而放頂租。

泛海六全層逾三萬呎PUREYOGA推頂租

消息人士透露,中環泛海中心的大手租客,瑜伽公司PURE YOGA將其承租的6全層樓面,推出放頂租。 

上址為皇后大道中59號至65泛海大廈151720212223樓,共6全層樓面,共涉逾3萬呎,由PURE INTERNATIONAL (HONG KONG)LIMITED承租。記者現場所見,上述部分樓層為寫字樓,部分放置雜物,至於該廈2樓則為瑜伽學校。本報向該廈大業主查詢,泛海集團執行董事關堡林回應,該數層屬租客後勤部門,他們有意遷工廈節省成本,至於位處低層樓面的學校,則繼續租下去。本報亦向PURE YOGA查詢,惟直至截稿時未獲回覆。

八年前進駐

有代理透露,PURE YOGA大約於2012年進駐該廈,至今八年,上址目前最新平均呎租逾45元。

業內人士指,租客推頂租,首先要取得業主同意,試過有租客多番努力下,找到人頂租,業主不放行,最後不成功。他又形容,只有一些較有人情味的業主,才容許租客頂租,部分大業主企硬,不容許頂租。

Hong Kong’s homebuyers shun property sales for the fourth weekend in a row as they await better deals amid a glut of options

Hong Kong’s property sales flopped for the fourth straight weekend, as homebuyers turned their backs on unsold projects to wait for better discounts, amid a real estate slump in the city’s worst economic contraction in decades.

Wheelock Properties sold 13 flats, or 13 per cent of the 101 units on offer at its Grand Marini project in Lohas Park as of 6:45pm, sales agents said. The same project was 90 per cent sold two months earlier, with 18 potential buyers vying for every available unit then.

“These are leftover stock,” property agent said, adding that prices of the latest phase had been gradually raised after the successes of the previous sales. “Buyers are adopting a wait-and-see attitude, in anticipation of CK Asset’s upcoming project” that is expected to launch in the same neighbourhood in June, the agent said.

The reversal of fortune for Wheelock’s Grand Marini over two months underscores how Hong Kong’s residential property is becoming a buyers’ market, as investors hold out for the best deals amid a glut of choices. The city’s monthly average home price has fallen by 7.6 per cent from its peak in June 2019, tracking the economic contraction that saw Hong Kong’s first-quarter growth shrinking by 8.9 per cent compared with last year, according to property agency’s index.

Average home rent had also fallen, as rising unemployment weighed on demand in the residential property market. Average rent fell for nine consecutive months, or by a cumulative 12.1 per cent, to HK$33.3 per square foot in April, according to the property agency, which tracks prices in 107 private housing estates across Hong Kong.

Transactions in the world’s most expensive home market slowed to a trickle. The total amount of stamp duty collected, which reflects investment demand in the property market, fell 17.7 per cent in April to a record low of a mere HK$560 million, the sixth consecutive month of declines, according to the Inland Revenue Department.

The number of homes eligible for buyer’s stamp duty, liable for non-local and corporate buyers, also slid for six months to a record low of 41. The number of homes eligible for double stamp duty, liable for those who own at least one home, plummeted 29.5 per cent to a record low of just 105.

A flat measuring 234 sq ft at Lee Bo Building in Tuen Mun sold at just HK$2.35 million recently, 34 per cent below market price and back to 2015 level, according to property agent.

Prices of the latest batch of Grand Marini flats, at HK$16,803 (US$2,167) per square foot, had risen 10.3 per cent since the apartment project was launched in September 2019, putting it further out of sync with the downward trend.

It hadn’t always been like this. The Montara and Grand Montara projects, also developed by Wheelock in the same neighbourhood, sold out during their initial launches in May and June last year. Wheelock’s Malibu project managed to sell all 750 flats over two days in March 2018.

Sales started to stall in August and September last year when anti-government protests started to wreak havoc on the city’s economy and property sales. Wheelock’s Marini sold just 87 per cent of units, and Grand Marini found buyers for 73 per cent of the flats during their initial launch.

CK Asset, one of the city’s biggest developers, is poised to launch its Sea to Sky project, comprising 1,422 flats, in Lohas Park next month.

CK Asset is likely to be joined by Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), Henderson Land Development, Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong), Wing Tai Properties and the Easyknit Group, as they rush to launch new projects after suspending them for two months during the coronavirus outbreak.

The abundance of options will almost certainly lead to discounts. Wing Tai has already discounted the first batch of its Oma by the Sea flats in Tuen Mun by 10 per cent compared with prices of new projects nearby, according to property agency.

140 Yuen Long flats hit market

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) yesterday released 140 flats in the first price list of Wetland Seasons Park Phase 2 in Yuen Long, at an average price of HK$11,368 per square foot after discounts.

The cheapest flat, at 418 sq ft, was offered at HK$4.83 million, or HK$11,561 per sq ft, after discounts.

And in Ma On Shan, Henderson Land Development (0012) will sell 15 units at Double Cove by tender tomorrow.

Meanwhile, apparel manufacturer Crystal International (2232), which produces the reusable "CuMask" for the SAR government, will redevelop its building on 71 How Ming Street in Kwun Tong.

The six-story Crystal Industrial Building has a site area of 13,688 sq ft. With a relaxed plot ratio of 14.4, the gross floor area could measure 197,107 sq ft.

Crystal applied to the Town Planning Board last year to convert the block into a 34-story commercial building.

The SAR government has revived its revitalization scheme for industrial buildings, which allow owners of older industrial buildings to apply for a conversion of building use.

To encourage owners to redevelop industrial buildings built before 1987, the government relaxed the plot ratio by up to 20 percent.

Elsewhere in the secondary market, property agency reported 171 transactions at ten major housing estates in the first half of May, up by 76 percent month-on-month.

業主持貨力強甲廈交投淡靜

市況略為好轉,惟甲廈買賣市場仍淡靜。業界人士指,由於業主持貨力強,減價幅度小,未吸引準買家入市,料短期內交投難反彈。

據代理的十大指標商廈成交顯示,受疫情影響,4月份變化不大,維持近月低成交水平,十大商廈僅錄兩宗買賣。其中信德中心翼招商局大廈中低層7室,面積約1,669平方呎,以約4,339.4萬易手,呎價約2.6萬。據悉,單位由中資機構租用,呎租約55元,買家享回報約2.5厘。原業主於2004年以782.36萬購入,持貨16年,帳面獲利3,557萬,升值約4.5倍。

永安集團大廈全層易手涉近2.9

甲廈買賣相對淡靜,個別乙廈錄大手買賣,如中環永安集團大廈全層,以2.86億元成交,以全層面積11,062平方呎計,呎價25,854元,屬近期較罕見核心區乙廈全層買賣。買家方面,為恒生銀行前董事長利國偉的家族成員。原業主19983月以8,350萬元購入,帳面大賺2.025億元或逾2.4倍。

代理表示,疫情漸受控下,整體樓市氣氛向好,住宅更率先反彈,惟商廈交投仍淡靜。該代理指,由於業主持貨力強,不願大幅降價,故即使交投淡,業主減價幅度僅約510%,未出現割價求售。

該代理指,以上環指標商廈信德中心西翼為例,目前合共約22個放盤,最低入場呎價約3.1萬元,涉及單位為中層04室,面積約1,402平方呎,叫價約4,346萬元。另一單位為高層02室,面積約1,400平方呎,意向價約4,480萬元,呎價約3.2萬元,據悉,原業主最初以每呎3.4萬元放盤,減價幅度僅約6%

信德中心放盤入場呎價3.2萬起

至於中環美國銀行中心,年初曾錄一宗低價成交,涉及單位以3,900萬易手,呎價2.88萬元,創該廈近4年新低。惟目前13個放盤中,最低呎價為3.6萬元及4萬元,涉及中高層13室,面積約868平方呎,以3,124萬元放盤,呎價約3.6萬元,業主減價約1成,另極低層單位,面積約3,110平方呎,意向呎價約4萬元。

該代理分析,在低息環境下,未現業主減價潮,而準買家亦乏興趣追價,呈現拉鋸局面,料短期內甲廈交投量仍低。

領航地產主席高兆霆指,項目鄰近西鐵站及愛海頌,鄰近多個發展商收購項目,未來勢必百花齊放,地盤規模大、可塑造性高,相信區內物業可成為發展商搶購對象。

另外,上環文咸東街98號連錄4宗成交,涉資約5,830萬元,新買家為CERANA LTD,不排除為財團收購活動。

獲恒地(00012)申請強拍的土瓜灣下鄉道、落山道及美華街舊樓項目,發展商斥4,380萬元再增購落山道62號地舖,收購接近尾聲。

3宗工廈活化料獲批麗新元朗中心建商廈

政府重啟工廈活化2.0後,不少業主就持有工業項目提交發展申請,城規會今日審議3宗活化申請,其中麗新(00488)元朗中心擬重建成15層高商廈,規劃署不反對,預計獲批出機會高。

其次,香港浸信會醫院提出重建的大業街4號工業大廈,地盤面積約6,000平方呎,擬建132層高樓宇,用作日間門診診所及醫療中心用途,總樓面面積涉約8.6萬平方呎。

另外,遠東發展(00035)去年8月以逾24億元投得的啟德近體育園商地,申請興建1幢酒店及1幢商廈,並放寬密度高限作酒店、辦公室及商業發展,總樓面涉約34.4萬平方呎,亦獲得規劃署支持。

荃灣DAN6呎價4970元售兇案同層單位兩年升值1.45

工廈有價有市,投資者無懼命案,購入凶宅同層單位。曾發生轟動全城石棺藏屍案的荃灣工廈DAN6,命案相鄰單位最新以245萬沽出,原業主持貨約2年,帳面獲利145萬,物業期間升值約1.45倍。

據土地註冊處資料顯示,荃灣工廈DAN69B室,於上月24日以245萬成交,以單位面積約493方呎計算,每方呎造價約4970元。

資料顯示,該工廈於2016年發生轟動全城的石棺藏屍案,命案單位為9D室,故上述成交單位為命案同層單位,是次原業主成功短炒獲利,皆因再上一手業主勁蝕離場,惟資料亦顯示,上址上一手業主於2016年以270萬購入,並於2017年以100萬沽出,當時帳面勁蝕170萬,物業於一年間迅速貶值約63%,相當驚人!

另外,據土地註冊處資料顯示,該工廈曾發生命案的9D室,於去年5月以178萬成交,買家以個人名義登記,原業主於20151月以288萬購入,故持貨4年帳面勁蝕110萬,貶值近40%

啟德商地疫下流標 年半第3

疫情下首幅推出的啟德第2A區商業地,收4份標書均未達底價終告流標收場,為近1年半區內第3宗流標商地。市場普遍認為,反映發展商對商業零售前景較悲觀。

啟德商地批地再慘遭滑鐵盧,今次推出的啟德2A區商業、酒店地,位置鄰近將啟用的宋皇臺站,規模大可建樓面達116萬平方呎,須興建商場及多項社福設施,上周五截標收4份標書屬該區商業地最少標書的一次。地政總署昨宣布,因為地價標金未達到政府就該地所定的底價,故決定收回。

疫情令經濟不穩 出價保守

政府發言人指,按既定機制公開出售的土地,如沒有任何標價達到政府專業估價師所評估的底價,將不會出售,是為了確保公平和合理回報以保障公帑收入,而底價會在截標當日訂定,以便把最新市況考慮在內。為回應社會對房屋及商業用地的需求,政府會繼續穩定持續推地,適當時考慮重推。

業界普遍認為,今次流標並非因規劃配套問題,而是政府與發展商估價出現落差有關,並稱疫情令經濟不穩,商業旅遊及零售需長時間復甦,出價較審慎保守。

代理認為,商地涉投資額大及資金回報期長,發展商會考慮現金流及出租率等因素去計算,疫情好轉,但經濟差企業經營困難,對商地影響大,除非政府願調低「底價」,否則今年不是重推商地的好時機。

有測量師表示,今次項目位處將來港鐵站上蓋仍然流標,反映新區發展風險大,基於疫情、貿易戰可能重燃及社會事件影響,短期再推商地難度大,建議考慮將地盤面積拆細推售。

‘Out of touch’ Hong Kong withdraws Kai Tak commercial plot from sale following tepid bids by developers amid economic contraction in city

The Hong Kong government on Wednesday withdrew a commercial plot for sale at the site of the city’s former airport at Kai Tak following a tepid response from bidders, as the city’s worst economic contraction in decades amid the coronavirus pandemic deters developers from long-term investments.

The plot, which can yield 1.16 million square feet (107,767 square metres) in gross floor area, failed to sell because property developers’ bids “failed to meet the government’s reserve price”, according to a statement by the Lands Department. It is the second-largest commercial parcel of land in Kai Tak.

Kai Tak Area 2A Site 4, Site 5(B) and Site 10 is located near the proposed Sung Wong Toi MTR station and the Kai Tak Sports Park. Valuers had cut their estimate for the plot by as much as 20 per cent, to a range between HK$6.38 billion (US$823.2 million) and HK$10.44 billion. The Lands Department’s reserve price was “out of touch” with the wider market, one of them said on Wednesday.

The withdrawal, the third involving a commercial plot at Kai Tak and fourth overall in Hong Kong since January 2018, underscored the depressed mood in the world’s most expensive real-estate market, with the economic aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic adding to business disruption stemming from almost a year of anti-government protests.

“The withdrawal is disappointing. It reflects the big difference between developers and the government”, when it comes to the outlook for Hong Kong’s commercial market, agent said.

Hong Kong’s economy shrank by 8.9 per cent year on year in the first three months of 2020 for its worst quarter on record. It was also a second successive quarterly contraction, which confirms that the city’s economy is in recession. Home prices have retreated by 8.1 per cent on average from a peak in June 2019, according to the property agency, with some consultants predicting as much as a 20 per cent slide by the end of this year.

“The government overestimated the [parcel’s worth]. The market has corrected, but the [reserve] price was not in line with the market,” surveyor said.

The surveyor gave the example of a transaction at Silver Fortune Plaza in Hong Kong’s Central district, where prices had fallen by about 20 per cent since last year.

“I’m not surprised. The land is too big,” another agent. “The government should have carved [the plot] into three smaller parcels. It’s too much for one owner to take it all.”

The agent said a complicated plan had dampened developers’ appetite. “It looks like three sites. There are roads going through it. Underground work is also needed. I think it is so complicated. Nowadays, in Kowloon East, [developers] will not pay a high price for such a large commercial parcel,” the agent said, adding that the withdrawal would “weigh further on the Kowloon East commercial market”.

“The land office is not sufficiently aware of the market. Its reserve price is out of touch with the market,” the agent said.

The Kai Tak site will take years to mature, and developers had been conservative in their bids in an environment of increased uncertainty and risk amid the coronavirus pandemic, another surveyor said.

The site had received four bids, from Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value, CK Asset Holdings, which was founded by tycoon Li Ka-shing, K&K Property and a consortium of Sino Land and Lifestyle International Holdings, when the tender closed on May 8.

麒豐資本申重建 觀塘王氏大廈

由莎莎 (00178)太子爺郭浩泉等組成的麒豐資本,早前完成收購的觀塘鴻圖道33號王氏大廈,近日向城規會申請放寬地積比率2成,擬興建31層高新式工廈,總樓面約14.9萬呎。

該工廈鄰近新地 (00016)九巴車廠重建項目,對面是麒豐資本鴻圖道32號甲級寫字樓項目,麒豐資本先以3.3億元收購4層樓面,之後再夥同其他業主一同收購,最終在今年2月統一業權。

近期麒豐資本向城規會申請,略為放寬地積比率至14.4倍,較分區規劃大綱圖上的上限12倍增加2成,以作准許的非污染工業用途,將興建131層高新式工廈,總樓面約14.9萬呎。

麒豐資本由莎莎國際郭少明兒子郭浩泉、前宏基資本 (02288) 副總裁洪英偉等共同創辦。

新豐路全幢5900萬售八年僅升值7%

新冠肺炎重創鋪位市場,上水區內受水貨客絕迹影響,鋪位造價進一步受壓,消息指,上水新豐路67號全幢於去年年中、即社會運動萌芽前,曾以1.1億放售,惟受市況急速轉差影響,大幅減價至5900萬成交,成交價低市價約20%,原業主持貨8年,帳面獲利僅400萬,升值7%

市場消息指出,上述為上水新豐路67號全幢,地鋪面積1200方呎,附設入則閣250方呎、一樓面積907方呎,二樓面積907方呎,以5900萬成交;據悉,地鋪部分由銀行以17萬承租、至於1樓及2樓分別由教會及寫字樓以1.1萬及1.2萬承租,合計月租約19.3萬,料買家享回報約3.9厘。

連約回報3.9

據土地註冊處資料顯示,上址原業主於20123月以5500萬買入,故持貨8年,帳面獲利僅400萬,期間升值約7%。盛滙商舖基金管理有限公司行政總裁李根興表示,上述物業原業主為「非洲鞋王」梁日昌家族,物業於去年年中、即社會運動萌芽前,曾以1.1億放售,惟受市況急速轉差影響,大幅減價至5900萬成交,低市價約兩成,原業主持貨8年,帳面獲利僅400萬。

李根興續指出,上述物業於市場放盤已久,位置不錯,惟已經過了符興街,屬於新豐街較平位置,最貴位置應該是近龍琛路,以全幢成交價5900萬計算,低市價約20%,加上租戶為銀行,租金相對穩定,惟受新冠肺炎影響,令上水區內水貨客絕迹,拖累鋪價進一步受壓。

傅老榕家族等購中環商廈平均呎價三萬去年中後再度增持

近期疫情稍趨緩和,名門望族亦趁機入市增購。繼去年中購入中環安蘭街18號銀座式商廈18樓全層,傅老榕家族再度出手,以7375萬增購該廈19樓全層單位,平均呎價約3萬,成交價較去年中同類型單位售價低約10%

據土地註冊處資料顯示,上址為中環安蘭街1819樓全層,於上月17日以7375萬易主,以全層面積2448方呎計,平均呎價約30127元,新買家以公司嘉倡投資有限公司(TOP MARVEL INVESTMENT LIMITED),該公司註冊董事名為傅厚民(FU HAU MAN ANDRE)及唐少傑(PETER TONG),前者為澳門前賭王傅老榕後人及本港著名設計師。

全層售價7375

事實上,傅厚民於去年年中以8200.8萬購入該廈18樓全層,亦以相同公司名義登記,故是次為增持單位,最新成交價較去年低10%。資料顯示,上址原業主為恒基,早年收購該地段多幢舊樓,並重建為銀座式商廈。

安達臣道地皮勢大貶值掀財團「試底價」測水溫本周五截標市場趨審慎悲觀

安達臣道區內首置盤地皮於本周五截標。業界人士認為,該區一帶公營房屋為主,且首置及私樓單位只可現樓推售,無法預售樓花,增加投資風險,相信財團出價保守及審慎,料以「試底價」投地,並不排除有流標風險,而其估值較2018年初批出的一幅私樓地,跌價逾5成,最新項目估值介乎46億至55億元,樓面呎價約42005000元。

政府為增加公營房屋供應,令安達臣道發展規模大變,以公營房屋主導,會德豐地產主席梁志堅表示,集團會入標競投該地,出價會考慮不同因素並按市況出價,認為各發展商會各自計數。對於會否較上一幅土地的地價平,則認為「此一時,彼一時」,地皮位置亦不同,難以直接比較。

發展商:出價打上折扣

華懋執行董事兼行政總裁蔡宏興稱,由於地皮設有不少限制,包括項目部分單位要作首置用途,相信有關限制會反映到地價上,同時亦會令地價打上折扣。他再指,財團出價屬「各自計數」,按樓價及預計發展成本作計算,而集團現時尚未決定會否入標。

區內轉型公營房屋主導

新世界營業及市務部總監黃浩賢預計,財團會因應市況考慮不同因素而出價,並會各自計數,認為區內定位及地皮相關限制,將會反映在標價上;惟該地皮主打上車盤,而目前1000萬以下單位需求大,市場不乏承接力,料銷情有保證。

料樓面呎價約42005000

麗新發展高級副總裁潘銳民表示,現仍考慮當中,料該地屬市區「靚地」預計將會受市場歡迎,加上屬首置盤,適合中小型發展商發展,在目前市況下,料出價有機會保守及審慎,同時對比區內對上一幅土地有折讓空間。

合景泰富集團市務及營銷總監(香港及海外)張詩韻表示,集團需要考慮地區優勢、交通配套、工程成本及目標客源等因素,目前仍研究當中。

佳明集團營業及市務總監顏景鳳稱,集團會入標,並傾向獨資,而對這類民生盤的發展,集團希望透過現有的建築技術,去興建更多有質素的中小型單位,並以合理價錢推出,希望助港人上車。

地盤佔地約21.7萬方呎,可建約109萬方呎,為第二個港人首次置業項目。受多項規定「捆綁」。綜合市場消息指,最新估值介乎46億至55億元,樓面呎價約42005000元。

Hong Kong developer loses record US$331.5 million on resale of residential land at Kai Tak as coronavirus darkens market outlook

A Hong Kong developer has suffered the biggest loss on a land sale in the city’s history, offloading a residential plot at Kai Tak to raise cash to help it weather a market slump caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Goldin Financial Holdings, controlled by billionaire Pan Sutong, has agreed to sell the plot at the site of the former international airport for an estimated loss of HK$2.57 billion (US$331.56 million). It cited the uncertain market outlook as the city’s economy suffers a massive blow from the Covid-19 outbreak.

The company’s pullback represents a damning verdict on the outlook for the market, with valuations pummelled by months of anti-government protests, before the outbreak of coronavirus this year darkened the gloom. The former airport strip has now been associated with several deals that burned developers seeking a slice of action the world’s most expensive real estate market.

A loss on this scale from reselling government land was unprecedented, surveyor said.

“Very few land parcels change hands,” the surveyor said. “The market has reversed, and Kai Tak really has a higher risk as the supply there is relatively high. Land value there will drop more than land in urban areas such as Kwun Tong and Sham Shui Po.”

Goldin is selling the plot, called Kai Tak 4B Site 4, for HK$7.04 billion, having paid HK$8.91 billion, or HK$15,497 per square foot, for it in November, 2018. When its initial investment and finance costs are taken into account, the loss amounted to about HK$2.57 billion, according to a company filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Monday.

The resale price translates to HK$12,250 per square foot, bringing it back to a level last seen at Kai Tak in March, 2017.

“Considering the preliminary stage of development of the property and the significant capital required for the project, the directors adopted a prudent approach to retain more cash for the group’s existing business, against the uncertain outlook in the property market and the overall economic downturn in Hong Kong,” said executive director Shirley Hui Wai-man in the company statement.

“The proceeds from the disposal would be primarily used to reduce the group’s borrowings, thereby enhancing its financial flexibility as a whole.”

Hong Kong’s economy shrank 8.9 per cent last quarter from a year earlier, the worst on record. Home prices in the world’s least affordable housing market have retreated by 5.4 per cent on average from the peak in May last year, with some consultants predicting as much as a 20 per cent slide.

“The value of commercial land now is different from before. The economy now is very different, with the pandemic, the intensified US-China trade war, the social [unrest] – a combination of several negative factors,” property agent said.

Goldin announced a loss of HK$482 million for the six months to December, 2019, due to lower revaluation gains on investment properties and higher finance costs. That compared to a profit of HK$1.14 billion a year ago.

The buyer of the Kai Tak plot is an investment holding firm, Top Family Group, according to the announcement.

Goldin’s shares opened 3.52 per cent higher on Monday at HK$1.47 in Hong Kong after the firm announced the loss-making deal, before slipping back to close 2.1 per cent lower, at HK$1.39.

The sale comes 11 months after Goldin rescinded its HK$11.1 billion (US$1.42 billion) winning bid for 4C Site 4 at Kai Tak, forfeiting a HK$25 million deposit on the site.

The company abandoned the site because of “social contradiction and economic instability”, according to an announcement in June when lawmakers were preparing to vote on the city’s contentious bill allowing extradition of criminal suspects to the mainland.

More than a million Hongkongers, according to organisers, then took to the streets to protest against the bill, a rally that kick-started months of civil unrest that dealt the city a massive economic blow.

Goldin’s chairman, Pan, is ranked No. 22 on the Forbes Hong Kong Rich List this year with a net worth of US$4.2 billion.

HNA is another developer to incur losses from reselling plots at Kai Tak to raise much-needed cash.

Last February, Hong Kong International Construction Investment Management Group, the listed unit of the Hainan-based HNA Group, sold Area 1L Site 2 to Wheelock Properties for HK$6.89 billion, representing a loss of HK$550 million, reflecting the slowdown of the residential property market in Hong Kong, according to a company filing.

HNA bought the plot in March 2017 for HK$7.44 billion, or HK$13,500 per square foot on the basis of gross floor area of 551,134 square.

Mysterious buyer helps Goldin out with $7b deal

Goldin Financial (0530) has offloaded a 9,708-square-meter residential site in Kai Tak at a loss of about HK$2.57 billion to retain more cash amid a sluggish local economy wrecked by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Goldin sold the plot, namely Kai Tak Area 4B Site 4 to Top Family Group for HK$7.04 billion, the developer said yesterday.

Goldin acquired the site for HK$8.9 billion or HK$15,500 per sq ft in November 2018.

It was the last plot that Goldin held on the former Kai Tak airport's runway.

The funds will be used to repay borrowings and for general working capital, Goldin said.

It said the property development market in Hong Kong remains uncertain in the long run, so the management adopted a prudent approach to retain more cash for the existing business.

Wheelock Properties managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu said the selling price of the Kai Tak site is in line with the market price, expecting local home prices will slightly rise in 2020.

Goldin Financial recorded a net loss of HK$478 million for the second half last year.

The sale also came 11 months after Goldin Financial won the tender for a nearby commercial plot 4C Site 4 for HK$11.12 billion, or more than HK$12,800 per sq ft in May last year.

However, one month later, it forfeited a HK$25 million deposit by walking away from the commercial site, as the Sino-US trade war rattled the property market.

Later, in September, all five bids made for this site were rejected by the government, as they did not meet the reserve price.

Kai Tak, which had been left vacant after the SAR's airport relocated to Chek Lap Kok in 1998, has since been planned to be redeveloped into Hong Kong's second main business district.

Two residential plots on the runway of Hong Kong's former international airport in Kai Tak will be offered for sale in the current fiscal year, with one of them valued at up to HK$10.4 billion.

Kai Tak Area 4E Site 2 measures approximately 117,900 square feet. Market surveyors value the plot at between HK$9.1 billion and HK$10.4 billion, or between HK$14,000 and HK$16,000 per buildable sq ft.

The adjacent Kai Tak Area 4E Site 1, which measures approximately 59,700 sq ft, with a total floor area of 328,400 sq ft, has a market valuation of between HK$3.9 billion and HK$4.3 billion, or between HK$12,000 and HK$13,000 per buildable sq ft.

Landlords in Central, Hong Kong slash rents by more than a third as vacancy climbs to six-year high amid economy crushed by coronavirus

Hong Kong’s major landlords of premium office space in Central are cutting rents by more than a third – returning them to 2017 levels – as the sharp economic contraction caused by the coronavirus forces corporate tenants either to downsize or move somewhere cheaper.

The vacancy rate in Central, the world’s costliest office market, climbed to a six-year high of 4.4 per cent in March, property agent said.

Taking advantage of the lower rent, mainland Chinese private equity investor Hony Capital has leased 10,000 square feet at the 88-storey Two International Finance Centre – the city’s second-tallest office tower – for HK$130 per sq ft, about 35 per cent lower than the building’s peak rate in 2017, according to market watchers.

The new lease will cost the Beijing-based firm, a unit of investment holding company Legend Holdings, a monthly rental of HK$1.3 million. The firm is downsizing by 23 per cent from its 13,000 square foot office at Exchange Square. The average asking rent at Exchange Square was HK$150 per sq ft at the end of April, according to property agent.

About a 15-minute walk from TWO IFC, another company took up 4,000 square feet of office space at The Center for HK$55 per sq ft per month, the lowest rate since April 2016 in the world’s most expensive building.

“Our figures show Central’s grade-A office rents have dropped 9.2 per cent in the first three months and we expect it will drop 25 to 30 per cent this year,” property agent said.

Decentralisation for more cost-effective options remains a key trend this year as tenants control real estate costs during uncertain times, agent said.

“The Covid-19 outbreak brought more uncertainties to business prospects, which inevitably cast a shadow on the real estate plans of corporates. We forecast a cycle of moderating leasing activity in Hong Kong with short-term cost rationalisation overtaking long-term planning,” the agent said.

“Leasing demand was moderate over the last few months as tenants have adopted a wait-and-see attitude.”

Hong Kong’s economy shrank 8.9 per cent last quarter from a year earlier, the worst on record, the government said last week. Unemployment rose to a near 10-year high of 4.2 per cent in March as most companies either asked staff to take unpaid leave or laid them off to save costs.

Rental decline in the office market continued to worsen in the first quarter of this year as a result of higher vacancy rates across all major office submarkets amid weakened leasing demand, the agent said.

“Previously, the office leasing market in Central was dominated by mainland banks and finance companies which pushed rents at IFC to above HK$200 per square foot. Now, companies actively looking for spaces are those local firms either planning to relocate to cheaper buildings or downsizing,” another agent said.

The agent believes the correction in office rents in Central is not yet over.

“Some landlords are even offering rent-free periods to retain existing tenants when their leases are due for renewal,” the agent said.

高銀售啟德住宅地勁蝕25.7億離場指樓市不明朗折讓約21%

去年曾爆「撻訂」風波的高銀金融(530)再次「棄守」啟德地,高銀昨早公布,因本港物業市場不明朗,以逾七十億四千萬元出售啟德4B4號住宅地皮,較一年半前的入手價八十九億元折讓約兩成一,高銀預期將自出售事項錄得虧損約二十五億七千萬元。去年六月高銀曾以本港局勢不穩為由「撻訂」一百一十一億元的啟德商業地王,是次又再蝕讓離場,意味着高銀已全面撤出啟德發展區。

此次交易的買家身影頗為神秘,公告僅披露為一海外註冊公司TopFamily。同在啟德附近持有多幅地皮的會德豐(020)、新地(016)、恒地(012)昨均否認為買家。有份參與交易的測量師昨稱,交易雙方具敏感性(sensitive),不便透露具體信息。

買家TopFamily頗神秘

高銀稱,出售事項所得淨額將主要用於減少集團借貸,以提高整體財務靈活性。目前所出售物業項目的地基工程尚未展開,考慮到該物業處於初步發展階段及項目所需資金龐大,且在本港整體經濟低迷、物業市場前景不明朗的背景下,集團決定採取審慎方針為現有業務保留更多現金。全球經濟疲軟,本港亦現經濟收縮迹象,集團相信本港物業發展市場長遠仍存在不確定因素。

高銀在二一八年十一月,與大股東兼主席潘蘇通以組成合資公司方式,投得啟德第4B4號住宅用地,作價逾八十九億元,雙方分別各佔六成及四成權益。去年四月,高銀再向潘蘇通購入餘下四成權益。該啟德住宅發展項目總地盤面積約九千七百平方米,高銀原計畫於二二四年九月底或之前把物業落成。

2018年以89億買入

高銀近年「跑馬圈地」頗為進取,多次爆冷以高價奪得地皮,包括目前持有的九龍灣高銀金融國際中心、何文田常盛街發展項目及何文田站第一期住宅地等,投資額達數百億元。惟在去年則因社會局勢不穩而鬧出「撻訂」風波。

去年五月,高銀斥資逾一百一十一億元投得啟德首幅跑道商業地第4C4號地皮,創東九商業地呎價新高。該地塊佔地面積逾一萬平方米,原計畫興建地標式高級酒店和辦公大樓,預計總投資額高達一百六十億至一百八十億元。但周年六月,因多名獨立董事極力反對,認為本港社會衝突及經濟不穩定,將對商業地產市場的增長產生負面影響,高銀不得不宣布「撻訂」,寧蝕二千五百萬元訂金離場。該地皮在同年九月再招標,但最終因各入標者作價未達政府要求而流標。

去年「撻訂」啟德商業地王

與進取拿地形成對比的是高銀頗為緊張的財務狀況,高銀二一八年曾將旗下九龍灣高銀金融國際中心,抵押給長實(1113)借取逾一百億元的貸款,借款已於去年四月還清。據高銀財報,截至去年十二月底止,其流動負債總額近一百一十九億元,其中,一年內到期銀行借貸及其他貸款逾八十八億元,但手頭現金僅不到二十四億元。此次出售交易完成後,可減輕高銀財務壓力。

灣仔樂基中心 人流旺合樓上舖用

灣仔樂基中心位於灣仔道,比鄰灣仔商業地段,加上項目屬銀座式日常人流暢旺吸引不少用家進駐。

樂基中心樓齡有近40年,但內籠保養亦見不俗。物業大堂裝潢新簇,感覺光猛,設有3部客運升降機,另設有1部載貨升降機,方便租戶使用。

該座為混合式商廈,樓高20層,物業地下及地庫為商舖,分別提供6,000多平方呎的樓面,目前由超級市場及銀行租用。而樓上部分作寫字樓或食肆樓層。早前業主將4層前身為酒店之樓面收回,現時改作多用途辦公室使用。而物業租戶亦見多元化,如食肆、教育機構等。

每層41006700

1樓至16樓面積由約4,100平方呎至6,700平方呎不等,其中1樓至4樓樓面較大。標準樓層設有約5個單位,間隔呈方形,甚為四正,單位主要望摩利臣山或灣仔一帶樓景。

位置方面,樂基中心位於人流暢旺的灣仔道,距離灣仔港鐵站約10分鐘步程,另亦有多種公共交通工具來往各地。另物業鄰近多個大型商廈及住宅項目,如英皇集團中心、新落成的壹嘉等。

去年10月錄成交 呎租30

物業曾於2016年以全幢形式放售,當時開價約18億元,呎價約1.68萬元。由於物業由大業主持有,故成交主要以租賃為主,惟對上一宗成交亦要追溯至201910月,一個低層06室,面積613平方呎,以18,390元月租租出,呎租約30元。

而根據差估署《香港物業報告2020》顯示,本港私人寫字樓空置率由2018年的8.6%上升至2019年的9%,當中中西區甲級寫字樓的空置率由3.9%,上升至4.6%

報告指出,港島私人寫字樓整體空置率按年再輕微下跌,由6.8%降至6.7%。而九龍及新界寫字樓的空置率則持續向上,分別上升至11.2%12.7%

其中,港島區甲級寫字樓的空置率由2018年的7%2019年續降至6.2%,主要是東區及南區的甲級寫字樓空置率下跌所致,相信與近年不少企業節省租將寫字樓搬往港島東區、南區有關。而中西區的甲級寫字樓空置率相對由3.9%轉升至4.6%;灣仔甲級寫字樓空置率亦由4.8%上升至7.1%

甲廈租金按月跌4.2%重返2016年水平

在疫症流行下,環球經濟幾乎停擺,寫字樓租售價繼續尋底。有代理報告指出,上月份指標甲廈租金按月再下挫4.2%,連跌10個月,並重返2016年年中的水平,單計今年以來,甲廈租金已經下挫12.8%

乙廈租金累跌約4.5%

該代理行認為,雖然本港疫情緩和,但中美貿易戰及本地社會事件大有捲土重來之勢,故對於後市抱持審慎態度。

該報告指出,甲廈售價按月也下跌1%,雙雙自去年7月份起連跌10個月。隨着甲廈價格下跌,過去跌勢較慢的乙廈,租售價跌幅也開始擴大。當中,灣仔新銀集團中心及炮台山北角城中心分別錄得10年新低及6年新低的租務成交個案,上月按月下跌1.3%,當中以灣仔按月下跌4.2%為跌幅最大。總計本年至今,乙廈租金累積下跌約4.5%

雖然近日香港及內地疫情有緩和迹象,但寫字樓後市仍難以樂觀。該報告指出,近期有個別寫字樓租客開始欠租,包括一家大型共享工作間營運商,其位於九龍及港島區部分辦公室已拖欠租金,若該營運商稍後遷出多個現有據點,勢將加劇甲廈空置率,並令到整體寫字樓租金下行壓力加深。

恐貿戰社運重來

代理表示,疫症緩和之下,預計商廈市場累積多時的購買力有望得到釋放,第三季的成交量或回升,但由於市場前景不明朗,示威運動捲土重來、貿易戰有升溫之勢,故租售價格走勢預計難以同步大幅回升。

西環皇后酒店意向4.5

近期當旅遊業大受打擊,酒店空置率之高前所未有,有準買家於此時吼準低水酒店,有投資者則趁勢放售,西環皇后大道西皇后酒店全幢放售,意向4.5億,平均每呎1.68萬,料回報逾2厘。

上址西環皇后大道西199號全幢,現址為皇后酒店,樓高23層,總建築面積約26779方呎,以意向價4.5億計算,平均呎價16804元,物業現為一幢酒店,設有40個房間,平均每個房間涉資1125萬。

每個房間涉資1125

代理表示,是次出售物業緊貼西營盤港鐵站A1出口,業主於十五年前購入,並改裝為酒店,至今經營十餘年,現時物業內裝雖然較舊,但房間面積均寬敞實用,新買家購入後可將物業裝修或改裝重新定位。代理指出,目前該全幢酒店出租予酒店營運商,每月租金40萬,由於現時為非常時期,若然市況回復正常,加上業主為酒店增值,料每月租金可提升至80萬,回報逾2厘。

代理又說,由於物業落成時為一幢寫字樓,買家可以把現有的酒店拆卸,並回復作寫字樓用途,或將酒店房間裝修,重新定位為服務式住宅/共享生活空間Co-livingSpace等,將回報進一步提高。

自從去年以來,反修例運動留下後遺症,加上肺炎肆虐,令投資市場急速降溫,根據高力資料顯示,鋪位及酒店成為重災區,自從去年以來,全幢酒店價格由高位回落約30%,由於價格下跌,成為財團吼準目標,希望在淡市撈底,而且酒店出路較多,可變身大增值。

可還原作寫字樓

過去數月,市場不乏酒店及服務式住宅成交,價格較高位顯著回落20%30%,最差時刻正帶來「撈底」良機。該行指出,環顧未來5年酒店供應相當稀少,以核心區為甚,況且,酒店用途多,可打造服務式住宅或者高質素的安老中心。

力寶中心意向呎租50

受疫情影響,市場觀望氣氛籠罩,惟核心區甲廈租賃需求仍具支持。消息指,金鐘力寶中心兩伙優質海景戶以每呎50元放租。

代理表示,金鐘力寶中心2座中層01室,面積約1565方呎;另高層0506室,面積約7110方呎,以意向呎租約50元起。代理續表示,兩個單位均面向電梯大堂,並坐享開揚海景,備有基本寫字樓裝修,租客可即租即用,屬市場極矜罕指標商廈正對電梯大堂及正海寫字樓優質單位。資料顯示,前述放租的高層單位前呎租約73元,業主因應近期市況而擴大議價空間,相信可增加物業競爭力,吸引實力租客洽詢。

空置率上升商廈頻錄減價續租幅度5%10%

受疫情影響,營商環境惡化,代理指出,近期租戶紛節省成本求存,市場勢掀「遷徙潮」,令空置率上升,業主紛減租留客,近期商廈頻錄減價續租,幅度5%10%,部分業主變陣以新條款吸客,包括延長免租期、短期續租及提供裝修費用補貼等。

該代理指出,受新冠肺炎影響,令本港失業率持續飆升,隨營商環境變得嚴峻,拖累商廈租戶承租力銳減,隨市場需求大幅度萎縮,企業逆市「大屋搬細屋、貴區搬平區」,節省成本以求存,「遷徙潮」之下,商戶目標呎租以約25元為大方向。

減價續租「海嘯」後首見

代理稱,疫情下「遷徙潮」啟動,業主間競價變激烈,逐步扭轉業內環境,現時部分業主願意減價續租,為市場過去10年來首見,對上一次市場低谷為零八年金融海嘯,現時市場續租減幅介乎5%10%,實際減幅因應業主議幅有別,同時業主在續租期上為商戶提供彈性,以往一般續租3年,現時續租期縮減至半年,靈活性等同共享空間。

另外,代理亦指出,受疫情影響,部分業主為租客減租,租金折讓為70%90%,為期一至兩個月,多集中於中小型發展商,於疫情下變陣,以求保存自身競爭力及留住租客。

料年中九龍空置率10%

此外,該代理指出,受疫情影響,料九龍區商廈租戶將出現「洗牌」效應,加速企業遷出核心區外,現時九龍區內甲廈空置率約9%,並預測今年年中將達10%(雙位數),將創過去十年以來新高水平,當中以油尖旺為重災區,市場自去年中起受多項不明朗因素困擾,企業營商取態變審慎。更因為近期受疫情影響,HOME OFFICE漸成市場大風氣,令核心區地利優勢進一步減弱,造成部分企業將遷出油尖旺,轉戰東及西九龍,故空置率攀升會以核心區為主。

代理指出,「疫市」下減租已成市場大氣候,該行預期今年九龍區商廈首三季租金平均跌幅約10%,油尖旺區跌幅將較大市為高,料幅度將達12%,並料市況最快於第四季才有力反彈,需視乎疫情日後發展。

尖沙咀觀塘兩據點已裝修 業主重新放

共享空間WeWork美國上市失敗後全球收縮,而香港分店亦不例外。去年品牌租用尖沙咀港威大廈及觀塘甲廈兩分行,合共20萬平方呎,完成裝修後決定棄租,業主重新放租。

疫情衝擊商業氣氛,共享空間Wework自去年底開始收縮,近期續棄租樓面。據業界人士透露,去年品牌租用尖沙咀港威大廈以及觀塘兩個據點,並已完成裝修工程,惟品牌未有最終遷入。據了解,尖沙咀寫字樓已完成初部裝修,而觀塘分店更已擺放全新傢俬,兩據點尚未招租已交回業主,將重新招租。

WeWork去年仍然非常積極擴充,一年間先後租用4個據點,其中最大手為租用尖沙咀港威大廈2631樓,共6層,面積約15萬平方呎,平均呎租約60元,該批樓面原為服務式住宅,業主進行改裝工程,去年才入伙。

至於觀塘分店位於臨澤街8啟匯(Harbourside HQ),涉及物業兩層,每層面積約2.5萬平方呎,合共約5萬平方呎,成交呎租約25元。該物業前稱為傲騰廣場,南豐兩年前以約80億元,沽予資本策略 (00497)等合組財團,新買家進行翻新,包括地下大堂等。

由於受疫情影響,跨國企業暫緩擴充,整體甲廈租務需求明顯下跌,加上是次棄租樓面以共享空間裝修模式,未必所有行業均合適,相信該批樓面在市況轉弱下出租需時。

WeWork為共享空間龍頭,數年前在港大肆擴充,短短數年間租用逾10個據點,分布各大商業核心區包括中環、灣仔、銅鑼灣等。去年上市計劃觸礁,導致資金短缺,而品牌最大投資者軟銀(SoftBank)更計劃放棄針對WeWork30億美元投資計劃,故品牌全球作出縮減業務動作。

近一年共享空間紛收縮,個別更全綫撤出香港,如內地共享空間品牌氪空間(KR Space),去年先棄租灣仔全新商廈One Hennessy 7層合共逾8萬平方呎樓面,其後再關掉銅鑼灣時代廣場兩層合共3.4萬呎樓面,品牌在港業務全綫結束。

Evergrande’s Emerald Bay flats flop in their third weekend sale in three months as homebuyers ignore developer’s discount

China Evergrande’s weekend sale of its Emerald Bay flats in Tuen Mun has flopped for the third time in as many months, as Hong Kong’s homebuyers shunned its meagre discounts in anticipation of further price declines.

The developer managed to find buyers for 41 flats, or 12 per cent of the 335 units on offer at 8:30pm, according to sales agents.

In March, the developer sold 49 of 141 flats when it launched the project in the midst of the city’s coronavirus outbreak, at a time when social gatherings – including the viewing of real estate – was curtailed. Last month, Evergrande sold only 6.7 per cent of the second batch of Emerald Bay flats. Since then, Hong Kong’s outbreak came under control, with no new infections recorded for the 13th time in the past 20 days.

“The developer has launched many rounds of this project previously, so it is no longer as fresh to homebuyers compared to the launch of a new project,” an agent said, adding that Emerald Bay is selling in line with expectations.

Evergrande’s launch is the biggest weekend offer of apartments by a single developer since business and social life was put on hold in Hong Kong in mid-January, as the local government tried to contain the coronavirus outbreak. As of Saturday, the disease had sickened 1,044 people in the city and claimed four lives. Locally transmitted cases, a measure of whether the disease is under control, have not been reported for 20 consecutive days.

Hong Kong’s home prices may decline by between 10 per cent and 20 per cent this year amid the slumping economy and expected glut of projects, according to property consultants. Greater job insecurity will decrease desire among prospective homebuyers, they said.

The latest batch of Emerald Bay consists of 165 newly released flats in Phase Two, with sizes from 222 to 461 square feet (42.8 square metres), for between HK$3.57 million and HK$6.06 million (US$780,230), or HK$13,900 to 18,600 per square foot after a 14 per cent discount.

Evergrande’s project, comprising 1,960 flats and 22 villas, also faces competition across the road, where Wing Tai Properties just launched 108 units this week of its OMA by the Sea project. The rival developer is selling its project cheaper, at an average price of HK$12,548 per square foot after a discount of up to 13.5 per cent.

Evergrande kept the discount rate unchanged from the previous phase. The rest of the 170 flats were those that remained unsold in previous sales of the Phase Two development.

The contrast could not have been more stark in October, when Evergrande’s first real estate project in Hong Kong got off with a flying start, selling all 167 apartments on offer in a day. Buyers were then drawn by the starting price of HK$3.18 million for a 223 sq ft flat after discounts, or HK$14,260 per square foot, with the developer throwing in sweeteners, such as flexible financing plans, stamp duty discounts and furnishing.

“As the situation gradually improves, more prospective buyers have started coming out to purchase homes and are taking less of a wait-and-see approach, compared to the previous two months,” the agent said.

That is a shot in the arm for developers, as they start to put more projects on the market. Road King Infrastructure on Saturday offered 35 units at Crescent Green in Yuen Long, ranging from 300 to 501 sq ft each at an average price of HK$15,248 per square foot, for sale, on a first come, first served basis.

Negative equity warning as Singapore eases curbs

Unlike its regional competitor Singapore, Hong Kong has resisted relaxing property cooling measures and real estate lawmaker Abraham Shek Lai-him warned that this could lead to more negative equity cases.

Shek said some companies wanted to sell their properties to survive the downturn but they failed to do so due to such cooling measures.

His comments came as Singapore yesterday revealed it had extended the project completion period for eligible residential, commercial and industrial developments by six months with immediate effect.

Married couples will also have one year instead of six months to sell their first residential property to be eligible for remission of the additional buyer's stamp duty for their second property.

Meanwhile, in the primary market in Hong Kong, Wing Tai Properties (0369) released 108 flats in the first price list of OMA by the Sea in Tuen Mun, at an average price of HK$12,548 per square feet after discounts, 26 percent lower than that of the first price list of China Evergrande's (3333) Emerald Bay Phase 2 in the same district.

The cheapest 333-sq-ft flat is offered at HK$3.88 million, or HK$11,655 per sq ft, after discounts.

In Tin Shui Wai, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) uploaded the sales brochure of Wetland Seasons Park Phase 2, with the smallest flat measuring 282 sq ft.

The number of private flats completed in March plunged 26 percent month-on-month to 1,413, according to the Rating and Valuation Department.

Five new applications of pre-sale consent for residential developments were processed last month, involving a total of 3,676 residential units, up by 175 percent month-on-month, data from the Lands Department showed.

Meanwhile, the secondary market recorded more loss-making deals.

A vendor suffered a paper loss of HK$2.78 million after selling a 1,210-sq-ft flat at Dunbar Place in Ho Man Tin for HK$28.6 million, or HK$23,636 per sq ft.

旺角逸豪酒店 2.6億沽低2

疫情下酒店業面臨冰河時期,「波叔」鄧成波去年以3.28億入購旺角新填地街逸豪酒店,早前波淑撻訂之後,業主將酒店重售,最終以2.6億元售出,較之前購入價低2成或6,800萬元,每間客房價值僅520萬元。

逸豪酒店位於旺角新填地街423425號、朗豪坊附近,屬三星酒店,總樓面約3.1萬平方呎,共提供50間客房。

原本鄧成波以3.28億元,透過轉讓公司方式購入,不過最終在上月撻訂,據知原業主在「殺訂」約3,280萬元後,將物業重新以3億元放售,最終以2.6億元售出。

騰訊高層斥2.7 買淺水灣道56號豪宅

市場再錄得財金界名人入市,淺水灣道56號一個相連單位,早前以約2.7億元易手,根據一份文件顯示,買家為科網巨擘騰訊的高層人士James Gordon Mitchell

淺水灣道56號相連單位,實用面積5,076平方呎,去年傳以公司股權轉讓方式售出,作價約2.7億元,呎價約53,191元。物業原本由已故全國政協副主席霍英東兒子霍文遜持有,於2006年以4,565萬元購入,帳面賺2.24億元。由於物業由海外註冊公司持有,故即使早前以賣殼形式易手,公司註冊處都未有登記轉換董事的紀錄。

不過物業近日曾進行抵押,文件顯示,代表該公司簽署文件的人士包括James Gordon Mitchell。他於20117月起為騰訊工作,擔任騰訊高級執行副總裁兼首席戰略官,亦是閱文集團非執行董事兼董事會主席、易鑫非執董等。不過,今次物業買賣實際上是於去年第三季進行,故價錢並未反映近日疫情市況。

黃竹坑7項目 締造新商貿區

近年黃竹坑轉型為商貿區,區內7個發展項目,合共提供約166.8萬平方呎商業樓面供應,單是帝國集團便在區內持有3個發展項目,涉及72.3萬平方呎,佔整體供應4成。

黃竹坑屬於輕工業及住宅社區,早在1960年代開始發展,除了興建公屋黃竹坑邨外,區內亦填海興建大量工廈,發展成為輕工業區,但隨着工業北移至內地,該區亦逐步轉型成為商貿及旅遊區。

隨着過去幾年港鐵南港島綫通車後,黃竹坑與金鐘商業區的距離收窄,令到區內商業發展的潛力大增,吸引不少發展商入場投資,目前區內7個發展項目,合共提供約166.8平方呎的商業樓面供應,以商廈及大型商場為主。

帝國集團3項目 佔區內4成新供應

最積極在區內投資的屬於已故商人郭湘炳旗下帝國集團,透過獨資及合資擁有3個商業項目,涉及約72.3萬平方呎樓面,佔區內未來樓面供應逾4成,逐步建立商業王國。

當中位於業勤街商貿地,屬於帝國集團夥拍信置 (00083) ,斥約25.3億元投得,一度成為當時最貴的商貿地皮,可建樓面約28.5萬平方呎,計劃斥約33億元進行發展,將會興建27層高甲級商廈,並將按照地契要求興建藝術文心中心等設施。

除了積極投地之外,帝國集團亦在區內先後收購天豐工業大廈及仁孚香港仔車廠兩幢工廈作重建,當中以約17億元購入84%業權的天豐工業大廈,發展商及後成功收購餘下業權,預計重建後可提供27.4萬平方呎樓面。至於仁孚香港仔車廠項目,則是帝國集團以約15.6億元全幢購入,可建樓面約16.4萬平方呎。

黃竹坑站3 料建50.6萬呎商場

目前黃竹坑區內缺乏大型商場,而原址為黃竹坑邨的港鐵黃竹坑站,逐步發展成鐵路上蓋的大型屋苑。屬於黃竹坑站第3期的項目,包括一個約50.59萬平方呎的大型商場,由於鄰近多為豪宅區,相信會定位為中上檔的商場,項目在2018年便由長實 (01113)奪得發展權。

另一間中小型發展商宏基資本 (02288) 去年亦以約14.8億元,購入黃竹坑道23號的標達中心,該工廈早前已經獲屋宇署批出拆樓紙,將會重建成商廈,料可提供約10.7萬平方呎樓面。

Luxury villa snapped up for a low $350m

Kerry Properties (0683) sold by tender a 5,128-square-foot villa at Mont Rouge in Kowloon Tong for HK$350 million, or HK$68,253 per sq ft, with the per-sq-ft price hitting a new low at the project.

In comparison, the developer last year sold a 3,017-sq-ft special unit at the project for HK$307 million, or HK$101,800 per sq ft.

In the secondary market, a property agency recorded 13 deals at City One Shatin over the four-day holiday. A two-bedroom flat at the estate changed hands for HK$5.7 million, or HK$20,070 per sq ft.

Also in Sha Tin, a vendor made a capital gain of HK$1.92 million in the sale of a 583-sq-ft flat at New Town Plaza for HK$9.6 million, or HK$16,467 per sq ft.

However, a 466-sq-ft flat at Dragons Range in the same district changed hands for HK$7.19 million, or HK$15,429 per sq ft. The vendor purchased the flat for HK$7.53 million five years ago and would suffer a loss of about HK$700,000 after paying commission fees and stamp duties.

In Tai Po, an owner also made a paper loss of HK$1.63 million after selling a 949-sq-ft flat at The Golden Gate for HK$10 million, or HK$10,537 sq ft.

Elsewhere, another agency recorded 75 deals in Tseung Kwan O over the four-day holiday.

In Lai Chi Kok, an 864-sq-ft flat at One West Kowloon sold for HK$14.1 million, after HK$400,000 was cut from the initial asking price.

備裝修可即租即用

該代理續稱,該甲廈位處金鐘港鐵站上蓋,向來備受追捧,租金叫價堅挺,惟近期市況受疫情衝擊,令該廈議價空間逐步增加,吸引個別實力租戶趁低進駐,冀以實惠租金落戶優質商廈以提升品牌形象。代理表示,是次招租單位分別位於大廈中層及高層,單位面積選擇多,租客可按需要選擇合適單位,且物業裝修及家具齊備,可即租即用,對企業吸引力更上一層樓,料洽租情況會見理想。

灣仔宜發大廈 核心地段用家為主

灣仔乙廈多,惟質素參差。宜發大廈位處區內核心地段,而大堂極具氣派,絕對是同區乙廈罕見。

灣仔宜發大廈位於軒尼詩道頭段,即較接近金鐘,由港鐵金鐘站太古廣場3座出口步行至該廈,約510分鐘,若從灣仔港鐵站出口亦僅約10分鐘內。軒尼詩道一帶有巴士綫、電車站,交通甚為便利。飲食配套上,軒尼詩道及駱克道餐廳多,亦可選擇前往金鐘太古廣場,更多特色餐廳。

大堂樓底特高 顯氣派

物業於1996年落成,保養仍理想,無論地下大堂及分層大堂,均鋪上雲石。物業一大賣點,是大堂樓底特高,設計上有特色,非常有氣派,同區可謂難尋。

樓高29層,寫字樓由5樓至最高的29樓,提供兩部升降機通往各層。面積上,每層樓面約1,688平方呎,近全數為全層用家,而樓面間隔四正,不過實用率偏低。景觀上,由於面前為新落成商廈One Hennessy,故海景被遮擋,望向軒尼詩道一帶商廈仍算開揚。

用戶方面,該廈絕大部分為全層用家,包括律師行、會計師、金融機構、移民顧問等。

中高層全層 呎價1.9

買賣方面,老牌家族冠華持有最多樓面,達8層之多,作長綫收租。另外,長實 (01113)執行董事趙國雄或有關人士,亦持有該廈單位。資料顯示,宜發大廈25樓全層,面積約1,688平方呎,20117月以1,800萬元購入,呎價10,664元。

由於可供買賣樓層不多,成交偏少,平均每年約12宗成交,2018年宜發大廈低層,面積約1,688平方呎,以約3,511萬元成交,呎價約2萬元。另2019年中高層全層,面積約1,688平方呎,以呎價1.9萬易手,涉資3,200萬元。北海中心中層D室,面積約940平方呎,成交呎租約29元。

國金2期呎租130 較高峰期跌35%

中環超甲廈需求下跌,租金有所調整。消息指,中環國金2期極高層單位,獲中資金融機構承租,呎租約130元,較高峰期下跌約35%

中資金融機構 租用極高層

市場消息指出,中環指標甲廈國金2期錄得1宗租務成交,涉及物業極高層單位,面積約1萬平方呎,獲中資金融機構弘毅投資租用。據悉,該集團原租用同區交易廣場全層,面積約1.3萬平方呎,是次搬遷略為減少樓面。

據悉,是次成交呎租約130元,為近期新低。國金2期為中環最具指標超甲廈,去年初中環空置率極低,該廈呎租曾造至每呎200元,如今租金較高峰期跌約35%。其後因貿易戰、社會事件及疫情影響,需求減少。有代理報告指,2020年首季本港甲廈市場吸納量錄得466,700平方呎,是自2002年第二季以來的最低季度總量。

多項因素令甲廈租金下跌,而超甲廈租金跌幅更高,據萊坊統計顯示,4月份目前中環最優質商廈呎租約153.4元,按年跌20.6%,而中環傳統商廈呎租約119.6元,按年跌17.3%

Property market sizzles

The property market bounced back with secondary transactions soaring 41 percent week-on-week over the past weekend, and developers selling around 230 flats in new projects over the four-day holiday.

A property agency reported 75 secondary deals at ten blue-chip housing estates over the past four days, among which 31 were recorded on the weekend, surging 41 percent from a week before and the highest in seven years.

T-Plus in Tuen Mun, which offers micro flats, recorded its first second-hand transaction. A vendor made a capital gain of around HK$433,000 after selling a 131-sq-ft studio at the project for HK$2.4 million, or HK$18,321 per sq ft, according to another property agency.

In the primary market, some 230 transactions were recorded over the holidays.

Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) raised the prices of 12 flats at St Martin Phase 1 in Tai Po by about 4 percent. The developer will launch 30 flats at the project for sale on Saturday (May 9).

And some major developers are expected to launch large residential projects in the near term.

CK Asset (1113) expects to launch Sea To Sky at Lohas Park, which provides 1,422 units, as early as in May, said William Kwok Tze-wai, a director of Cheung Kong Real Estate. It obtained presale consent for the project in January.

The developer previously also said phase one of No 21 Borrett Road in the Mid-Levels would hit the market at the end of the first quarter or in the second quarter. The project offers 115 flats.

In Tin Shui Wai, SHKP in February obtained presale consent for Wetland Seasons Park phase two, which provides 699 units, and deputy managing director Victor Lui said the project may hit the market as early as this month.

Property developers are adopting a wait-and-see approach and slowing down new launches as travel restrictions and a ban on large social gatherings have battered the housing market.

Property agent believes that, developers will attract homebuyers with price cuts once the pandemic eases.

In the commercial property market, the property agency recorded six transactions at 50 grade A office buildings last month, hitting a four-month high, but transactions have languished at a single-digit level for nine months now.

尖沙咀金興大廈今強拍 底價6.5

由中資財團收購的尖沙咀金巴利道金興大廈,上月獲批出強制拍賣令,將於今日舉行公開拍賣,拍賣底價6.525億元起,以此計算,每呎樓面地價約7,552

金興大廈位於金巴利道4951號,物業樓高9層,設有升降機,樓齡56年,並在2018年中開始獲財團收購,之後在去年2月成功收購至86.6%業權,並且提出進行強拍重建。

及後財團繼續進行收購至99.21%業權,僅餘1個單位由於未能聯絡到小業主而未能成功購入,土地審裁處亦在上月批出強拍令,將拍賣底價定為6.525億元,並將在今日經仲量聯行舉行拍賣會。

地積比12 呎價約7550

若果項目以底價成交,按照地盤面積約7,200平方呎,目前規劃為「商業」用途,以最高地積比率12倍重建,可建樓面約8.64萬平方呎,即每呎樓面地價約7,550元。

項目由卓堡國際(香港)3間有限公司進行收購,註冊董事包括徐凱祥、蔡小亞及楊偉成。翻查資料,三人同為深圳南瑞投資有限公司董事,而徐凱祥則是本港成長,並在深圳成立投石私人智庫的科技公司。
