铜锣湾将有全新甲厦项目，前身为香港怡东酒店的商业重建项目，最新命名为One Causeway Bay，预计于2025年第二季落成。

项目位于铜锣湾告士打道281号，比邻世贸中心，是次获委任为首席行销代理，负责该物业的写字楼租赁及市场行销諮询服务的外资代理行指，项目将设有24层写字楼楼层，提供约50万平方呎的办公空间，及4层零售楼层加天台及平台，提供约5.5万平方呎的购物、娱乐及餐饮空间。每层办公室楼层可出租面积约2万平方呎，外望维多利亚港景色。

该行代理指，项目租金将因应市场而定，并将为具有竞争力的水平，暂时没有出售计划，对预租情况具信心。

前身为怡东酒店

怡东酒店早于1973年落成，楼高34层，提供884间客房。业主在2017年曾将酒店推出招标，惟财团出价未达意向价，大业主自行重建，其后文华东方就项目向城规会申请以15倍地积比率，重建成集商场及商厦的项目。

铜锣湾希云大厦批强拍底价逾24亿

港岛核心商业区土地新供应罕有，金朝阳併购约17年的铜锣湾希云大厦，再有新进展，昨日终于获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价为24.25亿，对比2019年申请时，估值约15.7084亿，高出约8.5416亿或54.4%。

金朝阳于2019年7月申请强拍时持有约80.04%业权，直至审讯时持有约84.04%业权，目前餘下约19个物业并未成功收购，而发展商曾于2019年6月至2022年1月期间曾出价收购仍遭小业主拒绝。

重建发展做法合适

其中有单位于2019年出价3460万，最新2022年则出价2948万，期内跌价约512万或约17.4%。

据判词指出，申请人曾委託结构工程师对该旧楼进行结构评估，由于大楼现时维修状况不佳，而且建筑物已达设计使用寿命，该建筑大楼设计在许多方面都已经过时，不符合现代安全标準和法定要求，认为维修成本与重建成本不成比例，故重建发展是合适做法。再者申请人已採取一切合理步骤取得全部业权，故批出强拍令。

可建总楼面11.8万呎

资料显示，金朝阳曾于2022年8月以32.09亿售出希云大厦，买家徐意为一间中资发展商相关人士，其后于去年取消交易，金朝阳除没收买方逾3.2亿元初始按金之外，买方同时需要支付和解金及额外费用，涉及金额合共逾3.64亿元。

希云大厦位于铜锣湾礼顿道128至138号及希云街2至30号，现为1幢楼高约10层的商住物业，地面层设有45个地铺，楼上共有125个住宅单位。该厦早于1959年落成入伙，至今约65年楼龄。

项目地盘面积约1.315万方呎，若重建作商业项目，以地积比率15倍计算，可建总楼面约19.725万方呎；若发展为住宅项目，以地积比率9倍计算，可建总楼面约11.835万方呎。

铜锣湾啟超道地铺月租50万 较疫市前跌61%鐘錶店进驻

随着零售业逐渐復甦，核心区铺受捧，奢侈店鐘錶店亦趋积极，铜锣湾啟超道一个地铺，获鐘錶店以每月约50万承租，平均呎租333元，较疫市前跌61%。

啟超道为铜锣湾区内一条仅次于罗素街的指标街道，即使淡市时，铺位仍然受追捧，街道上除了鐘錶珠宝店外，还有品牌连锁店，时装店及鞋店等，种类多元化。市场消息透露，啟超道8号地铺，建筑面积约1500方呎，以每月约50万租出，平均呎租333元，新租客为奢侈品鐘錶店，签署三年租约。

该铺位前租客江诗丹顿，早于2020年初进驻，当时疫情未肆虐，市场憧憬随着动乱结束，经济将录增长，该铺月租高达130万，最新月租较疫市前跌61%。

平均呎租333元

啟超道向来放盘少，过去一年，该街道只录1宗租赁，包括化妆品及保健品连锁店樱花薈，去年9月租用啟超道4号地铺，建筑面积约1500方呎，月租53万，呎租约353元，此铺亦是「樱花薈」6间店铺当中，月租最贵的分店，惟租金仍较高峰期周大福承租时每月约230万，下跌77%。

啟超道近年亦见有食店进驻，啟超道16号地下至2楼共3层铺位，建筑面积共约3400方呎，于2022年获人气面包店Bakehouse租用，月租约30万，较前租客太子珠宝鐘錶月租跌近80%，该铺属啟超道及恩平道单边旺铺，店面正对希慎广场。

金鐘廊属「宝地」抽起不卖 洽商户续租

商业市道气氛未好转，写字楼空置率高企，位处金鐘核心地段的金鐘廊商业地皮推售部署也要变阵，发展局透露，考虑到现时经济环境，加上政府正与现有租户磋商续租安排，决定剔走该用地，不会滚存至2024/25年度 (下年度) 卖地表之中。

政府2023/24年度 (本年度) 卖地计划共包括3幅商业地，惟全部未有推出招标，其中佔地约9.62万方呎，可建总楼面面积接近107万方呎的金鐘廊商业地，当时市场估值高达220亿元，是本年度卖地表中最贵重的一幅地皮。

发展局局长宁汉豪昨天形容金鐘廊商业地是「宝地」，在目前经济环境未活跃之际，政府亦正与现有租户磋商续租，应给予合理的租期，故决定不滚存至下年度的卖地表中，视乎续租的租约，再决定会否重新纳入2025/26年度的卖地表内。

剔除湾仔骆克道商地

政府同时剔除湾仔骆克道一幅商业地，宁汉豪解释，该用地毗邻将改建为国际调解院总部的旧湾仔警署，前述骆克道商业地暂时用作后援工地。

下年度卖地表将提供两幅商业地，包括一直滚存的九龙东啟德第4C区4号商业及酒店地，以及新增的沙田石门安心街与安平街交界地皮。

对于政府抽走金鐘廊商业地皮，有测量师预计，该用地未来一至两年都不会再纳入卖地计划，希望向市场释出讯息，中区核心商业区于中短期内不再有政府主导的新供应，减低对租金的压力，亦有利消化待租楼面。另一测量师表示，抽走金鐘廊商业地皮，反映政府不希望像过去两年般，在淡市低价卖地，避免浪费贵重地皮。

Hong Kong developer New World to tap improved sentiment by bringing property launches forward after posting interim loss

Company hopes to leverage positive sentiment unleashed by the removal of Hong Kong’s property curbs, CEO Adrian Cheng says

NWD announces an interim dividend payout of HK$0.20 per share, 56.5 per cent below last year’s HK$0.46 per share

New World Development (NWD), the conglomerate owned by one of Hong Kong’s wealthiest families, plans to launch 2,500 units ahead of schedule in a move aimed at capturing the improved sentiment unleashed by the withdrawal of all property curbs in Hong Kong.

The company unveiled the plan on Thursday after it reported that its profit attributable to shareholders arising from continued operations for the six months ending on December 31 fell 12.8 per cent to HK$502 million (US$64 million). Its shares slipped 2.1 per cent to HK$9.87 on Thursday, bringing its loss so far this year to 18.6 per cent.

“As the financial secretary has announced the lifting of property curbs, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has relaxed mortgage loan policies, which are in effect attracting the public and investors to the market and driving its recovery, the group will leverage this positive sentiment,” said Adrian Cheng Chi-kong, NWD’s CEO.

“We hope that we can achieve a positive sales revenue result in the coming year.”

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po scrapped all cooling measures restricting property transactions on Wednesday as he unveiled a budget aimed at restoring the city’s flagging fiscal health with a raft of belt-tightening policies and launched a hunt for new revenue streams.

Analysts said these measures are unlikely to trigger a rebound in prices, with the prevailing weakness being caused by a combination of elevated borrowing costs, a sluggish economy and a bloated supply pipeline. They do, however, expect the decline in prices to slow down and transaction volumes to rise.

NWD’s projects, given their prime locations, can “bring good cash flow to the group in a short period of time”, Cheng said.

These include a redevelopment project at the site of the former State Theatre in North Point, as well as joint-venture projects in the Kai Tak area, such as a 1,305 unit development with Far East Consortium.

Phase one of the State Theatre project comprises 400 units and had been scheduled for sale in the second half of this year. It will be offered for sale within the next four months.

NWD announced an interim dividend payout of HK$0.2 per share, a 56.5 per cent drop from last year’s HK$0.46 per share. If the group’s profitability improves in the future, it will increase dividend payouts or conduct buy-backs to enhance shareholders’ returns, Cheng said.

The group’s continuing operations revenues recorded a year-on-year decrease of 25 per cent to HK$17.06 billion due to fewer bookings in property developments in both Hong Kong and mainland China. Gross profit was up by 2 per cent to HK$7.25 billion, thanks to a higher margin from property investments in its K11 portfolio.

Losses for the year amounted to HK$5.77 billion, against a net profit of HK$2.48 billion previously. The loss included discontinued operations, which includes the one-time non-cash impact from the sale of New World Services Holdings, according to the company.

Revenue from property investment in Hong Kong stood at HK$1.74 billion, up by 17 per cent. The increase was attributed mainly to an improvement in the operational efficiency and occupancy rate of K11 Musea and K11 Art Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, the company said.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s property market has seen an immediate uptick in transactions after the removal of all curbs. Twelve deals had been recorded as of 4pm on Thursday at Yu Tai Hing’s residential project The Uptown in To Kwa Wan, according to a local property agency. It was first launched in November last year.

The contract prices of the 12 units sold ranged from HK$8 million to HK$11.8 million.

“Many end users and long-term investors visited the show flats before the budget speech, and seized the opportunity to enter the market as soon as the government scrapped the cooling measures,” the agency said.
