疫市下甲厦租金下跌，有代理表示，中环区甲厦租金已由高位回落26%，最新平均呎租110元，属吸引水平，预期后市逐渐靠稳，未来一年将跑赢大市。

该代理接受本报访问时指，四大商业区，中环、港岛东、西九龙及九龙东共提供4280万方呎甲厦楼面，中环佔1420万方呎，租户以金融银行、专业服务及房地产 (与建筑) 主导，三大范畴各别佔49%、16%及9%。

经过疫市冲击，中环甲厦租金较2019年3月高位回落26%，平均呎租110元，现时甚具吸引力，预期明年上半年逐渐靠稳，下半年平稳向上，全年升幅5%。

代理表示，中环是四大商业区当中，唯一租金稳企百元水平，区内最新空置率9.3%，相对港岛东及九龙东空置率分别13.4%及19%，相对地低。

料明年升幅5%

过去多年来，中环缺乏新供应， 2019年中前旺市，区内甲厦平均呎租高达150元，空置率仅2.1%，若计及正常搬迁，处极低水平，供不应求加上租金高企，形成「去中环化」，企业纷将后勤部门迁港岛东及东九龙非核心区，不过，随着租金回落及崭新甲厦即将落成，区内屡录大手租赁，企业趁势「升呢」至更优质甲厦。

中区两大甲厦地标将落成

中环明年将有 The Henderson 及长江集团中心二期两幢地标甲厦落成，分别提供41.8万及42.2万方呎楼面，2024年有德成大厦重建项目，提供13万方呎楼面。恒基旗下中环新海滨商业地王，两期项目分别于2027及2032落成，甲厦总楼面约66万呎。

该代理分析道，虽然今明两年中环有较多新供应，惟佔整体数目少，对市场不会带来压力，而且，2024至2026年并没有供应，未来区内缺乏土地兴建新项目。

九龙站成中环延续 甲厦面积增240万方呎

香港目前有4个核心商业区，当中，西九龙目前仅有一幢甲厦，不过，区内将出现巨变，甲厦面积将会增加240万方呎，成为中环的延伸，不构成直接竞争。

有代理表示，西九龙目前仅一幢甲厦，2026年，两个地标项目，高铁西九龙总站上盖商厦及西九艺术广场大楼落成，甲厦面积由现时的170万方呎，额外增加240万方呎，合共410万方呎，代理强调，不会与中环互相竞争，而是成为核心商业区延伸，由于有高铁联繫，更接近大湾区，吸引把握大湾区机遇的跨境企业、资本和人才。

不构成直接竞争

该代理补充说，西九龙供应少，目前平均呎租86元，早于2019年3月旺市时，呎租高达120元，空置率低至1.3%，比中环2.1%及港岛东1.9%要低，计及企业搬迁及更替，几乎「零」空置。

过去20年，香港随着非核心商业区兴起，甲厦供应增加1.31倍，东九龙崛起，让租户以廉宜租金，享用广阔空间及新颖设施，目前甲厦平均呎租29元，区内今年新落成的包括南丰旗下啟德 AIRSIDE 以及新地巧明街旧巴士厂项目，分别提供94万及49.4万呎新供应。

旺市时近「零」空置

代理形容，4大商业区各有「角色」，各具策略性地理位置，提供写字楼定位明确，让租户有选择的灵活性。中环仍是核心商业区，但租户随业务需求变化作调整，在制定办公室策略过程中，员工办公灵活性比以往要求更高。

代理行：指标商厦租售价下跌

受楼市淡风影响，11月商厦价格持续寻底。有代理行发表的市场报告指，指标甲厦售价按月降1.5%，乙厦价格按月跌0.9%。甲厦乙厦租金分别按月跌3.3%及0.2%。整体甲厦空置率达10.2%。

整体甲厦空置率达10.2%

该报告指，近年不少企业迁出核心商业区，节省成本，疫情下衍生灵活工作模式，拖累核心区写字楼租金下挫。核心区呎租跌幅按月跌4.3%。中环区租金按月挫8.9%，最新平均呎租49.1元，属12年低位。

由于银主盘数量上升，料吸引资深投资者注意。11月份录两宗银主盘个案，天津物产集团及国安国际分别将资本中心23楼全层和海富中心二座15楼全层以约2亿元及1.9亿售出。

该行代理表示，今年利淡因素充斥，但优质商厦在疫市下仍受捧，最近共享工作空间品牌The Great Room承租中环长江集团中心45楼全层，中环中心高层全层亦录承租，每呎约70元，租客为中资金融机构。

该代理预计来年全港甲厦空置率仍高企，核心商业区租金下行压力大，跌势将持续至明年，料企业撤出甲厦、缩减写字楼规模及面积，商厦短期内难有起色。

MTRC opens bids for Oyster Bay project

MTR Corporation (0066) opens bids for phase 1 of its Oyster Bay project in Siu Ho Wan today, and as many as 1,600 flats and the new station are expected to be ready by 2030.

The cost to convert the existing depot for redevelopment might run into tens of billions of dollars, MTRC property and international business director David Tang Chi-fai said.

He did not reveal the premium to be levied, which reportedly is in excess of HK$8.6 billion.

MTRC will allow the developer to build 1,200 to 1,600 units in the first phase, which will enables the real estate firms to adjust the development plans based on the property market in the future.

Tang estimates the presales could begin in 2027 at the earliest, if the progress goes according to plan, and residents could move in 2030, when the station and the MTR mall is completed.

When asked about the expectations in the bid prices by developers, Tang said the builders have various forecasts in the property market, given the uncertainties in the global economy and the sluggish local real estate market.

But he is confident that the developer could benefit from the project's convenient access to the transportation network and its location, close to Hong Kong's international airport and the bridge connecting the city with Zhuhai and Macau.

Tang said the MTRC had received a maximum of 10 bids for its previous projects, while 33 developers have expressed interest in Oyster Bay, including CK Asset (1113), Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), Henderson Land Development (0012), Sino Land (0083) and Hang Lung Properties (0101).

The entire project is planned to provide over 20,000 flats for more than 60,000 residents and will have schools and community care centers upon completion.

Meanwhile, the business director noted that the mall at Oyster Bay station would be in medium size and might keep the focus on the daily needs of the residents instead of high-end products.

Tang also said the retail market in Hong Kong has changed from being tourist-oriented to satisfying the needs of residents.

Although traffic in MTR's malls has recovered in December, consumption demand is yet to catch up, said Kenneth Lung Tze-ho, general manager of investment property team 2.

He said the MTRC will continue to monitor the market over January and February, amid the outflow of residents and travel restrictions for overseas visitors.
