整体投资气氛向好，业内人士认为，近期甲厦业主叫价转硬净，令成交量偏低，并预计下半年甲厦交投量仍上升，价格平稳。

据代理行的十大指标商厦买卖统计，上月港九指标商厦交投极为淡静，仅录1宗买卖，为近月新低。

近期全港甲厦交投焦点，落在中环中心上，继上月投资者拆售中环中心单位获承接后，近期该厦录得两宗全层买卖。包括物业26楼全层，面积约2.5万平方呎，以约6.93亿元成交，呎价约2.77万元。据悉，新买家为纪惠集团，购入作长綫收租，单位已获一租客预租，呎租约60元。该集团近3年，先后3度入市，现持有中环中心 3层全层单位。

中环中心 26楼 近7亿沽

原业主为马亚木，他伙拍多名投资者，于2017年向长实 (01113) 购入中环中心，而马亚木持有当中13层楼面，如今以每呎2.77万元沽出全层，料仅获微利离场。据了解，马亚木同时沽出20楼全层，面积约24,593平方呎，以约6.15亿元沽出，呎价约2.5万元，料为近2年新低，新买家料购入楼面，部分作自用。马亚木沽出两层楼面，合并共套现约13亿元。

上半年579买卖 按年升逾倍

回顾上半年甲厦市况，今年上半年录得约579宗写字楼买卖成交，比去年上、下半年分别多出约1.15倍及17%，为2019下半年社会事件及新冠疫情发生后半年计新高。金额方面，今年上半年录得约225.84亿元，较去年下半年的约385.14亿元减少约41%，按年同期则高出约4倍。租赁走势同样向好，上半年约3,247宗租务个案，总成交金额约3.4亿元，较2020下半年分别上升约14%及24%，按年同期则分别录得约33%及17%升幅。港岛区指标商厦今年上半年录得约22宗买卖成交，比去年上、下半年则分别仅有约7宗及16宗为多。九龙区指标商厦表现都不俗，上半年合计录约25宗买卖个案，比2020上、下半年分别约4宗及13宗大幅上升。

后市方面，代理认为，年初疫情严峻，个别业主愿减价放盘，令甲厦录得数宗低价成交，惟平盘已消化，随着疫情缓和，业主取态强硬，议价空间收窄，而买家近期尚未追价入市，导致近一两个月交投量偏低。该代理预计，由于整体投资气氛向好，相信下半年会加快入市步伐，成交量料较上半年理想，造价则平稳。

Lohas Park mark set for Wheelock

Wheelock Properties got the green light for its plan to build three 52-story residential buildings in Lohas Park.

The Lohas Park phase 12 project consists of a total floor area of approximately 962,400 square feet, the largest among the 17 building plans approved by the Buildings Department in May.

Other approvals include the Wang On Properties' commercial development with recreational facilities on 120-126 Main Street, Ap Lei Chau and the Housing Society's Jockey Club Road project in Fan Ling.

Meanwhile, developers want to speed up the development as the land premium for the quarter ending June was about HK$13.8 billion, a 10-quarter high.

As for the commercial property market, Henderson Land Development (0012) announced that its No 2 Murray Road project will be named The Henderson.

It won the tender at HK$23.28 billion in 2017, with a per sq ft price up to HK$50,064, a new world record at the time. The project will, the developer said, be developed into an internationally-renowned landmark and office with a total floor area of 465,000 sq ft.

For the residential market, Hip Shing Hong revealed the brochure of Madera Garden in Ho Man Tin, offering 71 units, while K&K Property released the first price list of its SkyeHi in Tuen Mun, involving 50 flats with an average price of HK$18,388 per sq ft after discount.

Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties' (0016) Kwok family purchased a luxury house in Repulse Bay for HK$159 million.

As for the new lands, a real estate agency expect that Kwu Tung North to become the spotlight of the property market.

Although Hong Kong is seeing a flourishing primary market recently, some homeowners had to cut prices to sell their flats.

A 396-sq-ft two-bedroom unit in All Fit Garden, Mid-Levels, changed hands for HK$8.23 million after the price was slashed by 6.5 percent, while a two-room flat in Quarry Bay with 583 sq ft was sold at HK$10 million, a drop from HK$10.5 million.

A one-room unit in Causeway Bay's Park Haven was sold at HK$9.7 million, a depreciation of 5.2 percent.

The one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate dropped four days in a row to 0.079 percent.

Investment in Hong Kong non-residential property set to double to almost US$13 billion this year, property consultancy says

The number of non-residential sales worth more than HK$100 million each is expected to reach about 200, following just 79 deals worth HK$48.8 billion last year

Abundant capital to chase a diminishing pool of stock, and prices are likely to increase further over the next three to six months, another real estate agency said

Big-ticket investment in Hong Kong property is set to more than double this year and rise up to HK$100 billion (US$12.9 billion), the highest since 2018, as local investors and international funds make a beeline for non-residential properties.

The number of non-residential sales worth more than HK$100 million each is expected to reach about 200, at a volume of HK$90 billion to HK$100 billion, according to property consultancy. Last year, just 79 deals generated HK$48.8 billion.

“The total consideration for this year is likely to reach half of the peak in 2017 or 2018,” property consultant said.

As the local coronavirus outbreak is brought under control and Hong Kong’s economy recovers, local and institutional investors with abundant capital have become active and are looking for investment opportunities. The city’s commercial real estate investment market has already recorded 89 deals in the first half of this year, generating HK$43.1 billion, an increase of 97 per cent year on year. This number is, however, dwarfed by a peak in 2017, when the economy was booming and the city reported 256 deals worth HK$176.6 billion.

One of the biggest transactions recently was the HK$10.5 billion sale of Kowloon Bay International Trade & Exhibition Centre in June. This helped the office sector to account for 40 per cent of the total volume in the first half.

The retail sector recorded the highest number of deals as local investors were in favour of smaller assets, but a greater chance for long-term growth, according to the consultancy.

While local investors have dominated the market due to travel restrictions, institutional investors have also started to eye industrial buildings and development sites. Industrial properties accounted for 30 per cent of total consideration – a significant increase compared to the average of 14 per cent in the past decade – mainly due to their relatively low unit prices, favourable policies by the government and the possibility of use conversions.

Abundant capital “will chase a diminishing pool of stock, no matter for investment or redevelopment, and prices are therefore likely to increase further, in the order of 3 per cent to 5 per cent over the next three to six months,” real estate agent said.

This bullish forecast came as Hong Kong’s economy and home prices have climbed this year. An overall index compiled by the city’s Rating and Valuation Department shows that in May this year, a five-month rally in home prices stood just 0.8 per cent shy of a peak in 2019. The rally came after a brief slump because of the coronavirus outbreak last year and talk of Hongkongers leaving the city following the protests of 2019 and the implementation of a controversial national security law.

“While we forecast the price level for most commercial sectors to bottom out in 2021, the next few months should provide a window for investors [to] identify and acquire assets before prices in most commercial sectors rebound from 2022 onwards,” another agent said.
