英皇珠宝50万租海防道铺 高疫市8成

高峰期租金曾见230万 尖沙咀吉铺渐减

近期珠宝店加快于尖沙咀核心一綫段扩充，信置 (00083) 旗下海防道地下铺位，面积2,000平方呎，以近50万元租出，较3年前疫情租金升8成。新租客为英皇鐘錶珠宝 (00887)，料作珠宝销售。

市场消息指出，尖沙咀海防道51及52号地下A、B、C1、C2及D号铺，面积约2,060平方呎，以每月约50万元租出，呎租约242元。该铺位处海防道及乐道交界，铺位门面阔，加上附近人流旺，为当地段优质铺位。该铺由信置持有，楼上为集团旗下服务式住宅 The Camphora。

消息指，新租客为英皇鐘錶珠宝，而是次租用铺位，料主力作珠宝销售。事实上，早在去年通关前，集团亦租用旺角弥敦道好望角大厦地下B铺，如今通关半年多，旅客重临，集团即重啟扩充计划。

翻查资料，该铺十多年来数度更换租客，2010年前专营手袋买卖的米兰站曾以100万元租用该铺，其后零售高峰期，太子珠宝鐘錶以高达230万元抢租铺位，呎租逾千元。

通关后 尖沙咀租务加快

数年前，零售开始回落，莎莎化粧品以每月约80万元承租铺位，其后遇上疫情，租客迁出，铺位亦交吉一段时间。2020年尾，米兰站趁铺租大跌，以每月28.3万租用铺位3年。按目前最新铺租计算，较旧租升近8成，惟与高峰期相比，仍下跌约8成。

通关后尖沙咀商铺租务加快，特别近一个多月，尖沙咀两大核心地段广东道及海防道连录租务，当中涉及金行、鐘錶珠宝重新扩充。如广东道新港中心地下至2楼，以每月约200万元租出，面积合共约10,140平方呎，呎租约200元，新租客为内地金行「老铺黄金」，该品牌主力打造高级黄金及珠宝，于尖沙咀海港城设分店，如今趁租金回调，于新港中心大手租多层铺作旗舰店之用。

另外，大鸿辉旗下海防道46号铺位，面积约1,000平方呎，以约40万元租出，新租客为内地鐘錶店。此外，尖沙咀弥敦道美丽都大厦地下G12号连1、2楼11号铺，面积约1,650平方呎，以每月约30万元租出，新租客为福泰珠宝。

事实上，经过多宗租务落实后，广东道、海防道及弥敦道3大核心地段，吉铺明显减少。

Hong Kong’s empty retail space falls to 3-year low, though sector recovery is hobbled as more tourists leave than enter

Retailers have been opening new shops and expanding, bringing the city’s empty commercial space down to 9 per cent in the second quarter

‘Travel outflow of locals is greater than the inflow of tourists, which could diminish local consumption power,’ property agent said

Retailers have been opening new shops and expanding in Hong Kong, bringing the city’s empty commercial space to a three-year low of 9 per cent in the second quarter, according to the latest report by an international property agency.

However, the recovery of the sector after three disastrous years of sales diminished by the Covid-19 pandemic faces a challenge: while the number of visitors – particularly mainland Chinese – to Hong Kong has been increasing, more Hongkongers have been travelling outside the city, shifting their purchasing power elsewhere, the property agency said.

“We have seen that following the border reopening, the travel outflow of locals is greater than the inflow of tourists to Hong Kong, which could diminish some local consumption power,” an agent said.

“As a result, the retail market during the long holidays such as Labour Day and the Buddha’s Birthday holiday periods was not as active as the market has hoped-for.”

A V-shaped recovery or a sharp upswing in the retail property market is unlikely, the report said.

The retail segment was one of the hardest hit in Hong Kong after the unprecedented social unrest of 2019 was immediately followed by the coronavirus pandemic.

The anti-government protests four years ago, which at times turned violent, had put mainland Chinese visitors off coming to Hong Kong. When the pandemic came along, forcing the closure of borders, tourists all but vanished from the city.

During boom times, mainland visitors were a major driver of tourism in Hong Kong.

Many of them came for the shopping, often returning home laden with luxury goods.

In 2018, before the unrest took hold, Chinese tourists in the city grew 14.8 per cent to 51 million, driving total visitor arrivals to a record 65.1 million, according to government data. Retail sales that year rose 8.8 per cent to HK$485.2 billion (US$61.85 billion).

In the first half of this year, retail sales rose 20.7 per cent, but they remain 15 per cent lower than the equivalent period of 2019, before the protests began, according to another property agency in a separate report. The improvement was largely thanks to the 12.9 million visitors that came to the city in that period, a massive increase from 76,000 a year earlier. Almost 80 per cent of the visitors were mainland Chinese.

Still, the number of tourists was a long way shy of the 34.8 million who came in the first half of 2019.

Almost 29 million Hong Kong residents, meanwhile, headed abroad for holidays in the period.

“As leisure travel shows no sign of waning, the widening inbound-outbound gap may impede the retail market recovery in the remainder of the year,” another agency said in a separate report, published on August 29.

Despite the somewhat clouded outlook for the retail sector, some notable transactions were recorded in the first seven months of 2023.

French luxury fashion house Chanel leased 18,000 square feet of space at Jardine’s Bazaar in Causeway Bay. In Central, The Macallan, a Scottish whisky brand, opened its first global flagship store on the second and third floors of the Hing Wai Building, occupying 8,519 square feet and paying a reported monthly rent of about HK$600,000.

The agency said a pharmacy had recently taken an 818 square-foot ground floor unit at 45 Haiphong Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. It leased the space for HK$300,000 per month, an increase of nearly 70 per cent in rent compared to the previous contract.
