近期随着租金下跌，甲厦租赁趋活跃，金鐘力宝中心一个单位，建筑面积约1719方呎，以每呎35元租出，低市价20%。

上址为力宝中心二座中高层1室，建筑面积约1719方呎，市场消息透露，该单位为印尼财团Demonsa家族持有，刚以每呎35元租出，月租约6万，此单位望美国银行中心，拥有开扬海景，属于优质单位，租金低市价20%，重返六年前水平。

瑞安中心每呎42元租出低7%

湾仔瑞安中心高层01至08室，建筑面积约8014方呎，亦以每呎42元租出，月租33.69万，该单位望城市景，租金低市价约7%。

近期，甲厦连录承租，金鐘远东金融中心高层05及07室，面积约3423方呎，日前以每呎约60元租出，月租约205380元，物业由纪惠集团持有，于2018年中交吉至今，早前每呎叫租105元，惟受疫情等因素打击，市场承租力疲弱，故业主议租空间亦逐步扩阔，惟最新租金亦贴近市场价水平。纪惠于2006年以1.15389亿购入该厦一篮子物业，现时回报可观。

有代理行资料显示，9月份港岛区整体甲厦空置率约10%，接近历来新高水平，按月上升0.21个百分点，按年大增1.83个百分点。核心商业区中以金鐘表现最疲弱，最新空置率按月升0.23个百分点至约9.02%，为核心商业区中最高。

皇后大道中铺月租12万跌57% 重返15年前水平零售商进驻

临近年底，商户纷开业迎接消费旺季，核心区铺位租赁趋活跃，中环皇后大道中一个商场地铺，建筑面积约1285方呎，以每月12万租出，平均呎租93元，较旧租金跌57%，租金重返15年前水平。

代理表示，中环皇后大道中九号嘉轩广场地下5号铺，建筑面积约1285方呎，获零售商以每月约12万进驻，平均呎租约93元，前租客为时装店，于2019年以月租约28万进驻，新租金跌约57%，亦重返2006年前水平。

上述铺位虽然是商场地铺，不过，于2015年市况高峰期，仍然渴求，该铺位当时由鐘表店承租，每月租金约52.5万，若对比高峰期，新租金急跌约77%。

平均呎租93元

该代理续说，现时租客市场转活，租客开始租一些核心区铺位，惟支付租金能力一般，随着业主肯减租，令租赁市场倾向活跃。

阁麟街呎租68元跌31%

区内连录铺位承租，阁麟街26号地铺，地铺面积约1100方呎，阁楼面积约800方呎，总面积约1900方呎，以每月约13万租出，平均呎租约68元，新旧租客皆为食肆，旧租每月约19万，新租金下跌约31%。

周大福50万租华人行地铺

中环皇后大道29号华人行一个地铺，早前以每月50万租出，新租客为周大福，涉及为华人行地下1号铺，建筑面积约1098方呎，今年8月以每月约50万租出，平均呎租455元，新租客周大福正就铺位进行装修。该铺位于2012年零售高峰期，曾由店以每月230万租用，新租金不比当年。旧租客为Swatch，于去年6月撤出时，月租110万。

周大福一直租用毗邻的4号地铺，建筑面积约2128方呎，该铺位高峰期月租高见400万，现时亦已下调。

近期华人行地铺连录承租，3号及5号地铺，建筑面积1654方呎，早前亦以每月50万承租，该铺位旧租客为BLANCPAIN，去年中提早撤出时，月租为180万，因此，新租金跌幅高达72%。

长实沽山顶甘道地皮

豪宅市场获资金追捧，其中，长实旗下山顶甘道38号地皮，据土地註册处资料，以公司股权转让形式沽出，市场指，作价约7亿，每呎楼面地价约11.8万元。

据土地註册处资料，上述地皮由JULI MAY LIMITED持有，公司董事原为赵国雄、周伟淦、谭理明、徐靖生、徐建东、杨逸芝等长实管理层，惟该批董事已于今年7月份全部辞任。而JULI MAY LIMITED的董事现已变为陈德豪及萧云芳，意味长实已透过公司股权转让售出地皮。本报昨分别向长实，以及新董事陈德豪作出查询，惟截稿前未获回覆。

甘道38号地皮属绿化地带，获批准日后改划为「住宅 (丙类) 6」地带，面积约11840方呎，将以地积比率0.5倍发展，可建楼面约5920方呎，以造价约7亿计，每呎楼面地价高达118243元。

市场指作价七亿

上述地皮为长实透过「换地」取得。长实原本持有甘道23号大宅「Carrick」，为超过130年历史的一级历史建筑，政府于2018年3月与长实落实进行非原址换地，以保育该历史建筑活化再用。直至去年11月，长实完成2500万补地价，成功换取甘道38号屋地，每呎补地价约4223元，持有地皮近一年易手。

港铁东涌配电站项目今截标

近年政府全速觅地增加供应，住宅供应的「重责」就落在「一铁一局」，其中港铁东涌牵引配电站物业项目，将于今日截标。市场人士预期，由于项目发展规模较大，料发展商会以合组财团方式入标，以加强财政实力及分担投资风险。综合市场估值，该地皮连同补地价估值约65.77亿至75.17亿，每呎楼面地价约7000至8000元。

近年铁路项目成发展商争夺目标，上述牵引配电站物业发展项目坐落于东涌市地段第50号地段，位于文东路及毗邻东涌北公园，邻近区内指标屋苑映湾园；项目将建于东涌牵引配电站及其铁路设施上方，地盘面积约15.5万方呎，住宅可建总楼面约93.96万方呎，可提供1400至1800个住宅单位，为该区近年最具规模新供应。

最高估值逾75亿

市场消息指出，该项目补地价金额逾47.65亿，即每方呎补价约5072元。据消息人士透露，除补地价外，发展商须就分红比例向港铁提出建议，分红比例不得少于15%，并须以价高者得的「一口价」决定胜负，最少为2.5亿，故该笔额外款项成发展商成功突围的关键。

业内人士指出，上述项目位置不俗，尤其是将来东涌东站发展，将会大大受惠，而未来东涌东及西延綫，将有助整个地区发展，然而项目补地价过高，相信发展商难以进取价竞投。由于项目发展规模较大，料发展商会以合组财团方式入标，以加强财政实力及分担投资风险。综合市场估值，该地皮连同补地价估值约65.77亿至75.17亿，每呎楼面地价约7000至8000元。

广播道地高价批 料卖4万元呎

丽新16亿夺得 潘锐民：料主打中大型单位

九龙塘广播道豪宅地昨日揭标，由丽新发展 (00488) 以逾16.08亿元夺得。地皮的每呎楼面地价约2.25万元，略高于市场估值上限。业界人士预料，项目落成后有机会每呎卖4万元以上。

地政总署昨日公布，上述地皮由丽新以16.083亿元夺得，每呎楼面地价约22,465元，即较市场估值上限约2.2万元，轻微高出约2%。

丽新发展高级副总裁潘锐民表示，该地皮供应罕有，并属传统豪宅区，预计可发展为主打中至大型单位的分层住宅。集团亦会从设计着手，以解决后方龙翔道的噪音问题。他认为，该地皮物有所值，而有见近期豪宅项目售价屡创新高，对豪宅市场前景有信心。

相隔逾2年半 再投得官地

值得一提的是，这是丽新相隔逾2年半后，再次投得政府官地。该集团对上一幅投得的官地，为元朗大旗岭蚊型住宅地，当年的成交价近2.1亿元，每呎楼面地价约4,977元。

有测量师认为，鑑于广播道的私人住宅楼龄普遍较旧，呎价不算高，因此上述地皮的住宅项目落成后，有条件每呎卖4万元以上，或突破广播道呎价新高。

假设地皮的每呎建筑成本约6,000元，计入「发水楼面」10%因素后，每呎投资额达2.64万元。如以2成利润、8成实用率计算，预计项目落成后，实用呎价逾3.96万元。事实上，翻查EPRC经济地产库资料，近半年比邻地皮的星辉豪庭及尚御实用成交呎价仅约1.6万及2.4万元左右，而逸瓏呎价约3.2万元，可见发展商对该区的发展前景乐观。

吸17组财团入标 竞争激烈

地皮上周五接获17份标书，并吸引多间发展商入标，竞争激烈，参与竞投的包括长实 (01113)、新地 (00016)、会德丰地产、信置 (00083) 、建灝、华懋、英皇国际 (00163) 、佳明 (01271) 、嘉华 (00173) 、大鸿辉兴业、中资中国海外 (00688) 、路劲 (01098) 等。

地皮位于九龙塘广播道79号，前身为香港电台教育电视中心，佔地约2.39万平方呎，可建楼面约7.16万平方呎。截标前地皮的市场估值介乎10.74亿至15.75亿元，即每呎楼面地价大约1.5万至2.2万元。广播道对上一幅推出的住宅官地，要数到2006年招标的广播道1号，地皮当时由信置投得，并发展为逸瓏。

Lai Sun wins Kowloon site for $1.61b

Lai Sun Development (0488) won the residential site No 79 Broadcast Drive in Kowloon Tong for HK$1.61 billion, higher than estimates, as government data showed home prices have fallen for the second consecutive month.

The Lands Department said it had received 17 tenders for the land with a site area of about 2,217 square meters and a gross floor area of 6,651 sq m.

A surveyor said that the site is located in an area where there are traditional luxury homes and will command higher prices than nearby Shek Kip Mei. Therefore the prices for the project can reach HK$40,000 to HK$42,000 per sq ft upon completion.

The site used to be the Educational Television Centre of Radio Television Hong Kong, but last year, the Education Bureau notified the public broadcaster that it had to hand over the building by September 2020 as RTHK had stopped filming new ETV episodes from April 2020.

This is the only land sale for a residential site in Kowloon in the current financial year.

This came after the data from the Rating and Valuation Department showed that Hong Kong's private home price index dropped 0.4 percent, or 1.6 points month-on-month to 396.3 points in September, falling for two consecutive months from July's record high.

The increase of property prices narrowed to 3.39 percent in September compared to a year ago, but home prices have risen 4.32 percent since the beginning of this year.

The rental index, in contrast, went up 0.88 percent to 183.8 from a month ago, continuing its seven-month rise, but the growth also narrowed by 0.34 percentage points from August.

Meanwhile, some new home sales are set to open soon. Kowloon Development's (0034) Manor Hill project in Tseung Kwan O will start its first round of sales on Saturday, which includes 438 homes ranging from 203 sq ft to 428 sq ft.

And Mount Nicholson III at 8 Mount Nicholson Road in The Peak will open six tenders with areas ranging from 4,186 sq ft to 4,601 sq ft from November 4.

Hong Kong house prices fall by the most in nearly a year as volatile stock market hits buying sentiment

Lived-in home prices fell 0.4 per cent in September, the most since October 2020

Prices have fallen for a second consecutive month, after hitting a record high in July

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices declined by the most in nearly a year in September, after touching a record high in July as buying power was hit because of a retreating stock market, according to property consultants.

Prices slipped 0.4 per cent to 396.3 last month, according to an index published on Wednesday by the Rating and Valuation Department.

It was the steepest fall since October 2020 when it retreated by 0.5 per cent, according to the property consultancy. It was also the second consecutive monthly decline since the index touched a record high of 397.7 in July.

“Property prices have softened slightly after peaking in July,” the consultant said. “Homebuyers have stayed on the sidelines after media reports said that Beijing officials told a number of Hong Kong property tycoons in a closed-door meeting to throw their resources and influence behind the central government’s effort to ease the city’s housing problems.”

New home sales too have cooled in recent days. Sales at Centralcon Properties’ The Arles in Sha Tin flopped on the weekend, with the developer selling less than half of the 338 flats on offer. Wheelock Properties fared even worse, selling only four of 110 units at its Koko Hills project. The flats on sale were the last remaining units in these projects.

“The local residential market has been impacted by the fluctuation in the stock markets and concerns over a worsening economy in the mainland in the short term,” the property consultant said.

Hong Kong’s stock market was among the worst-performing globally in the third quarter. The benchmark Hang Seng Index shed nearly 15 per cent as investor sentiment was affected after Beijing ramped up its crackdown on tech giants in July.

So far this year, home prices have gained 4.3 per cent, with both large and small flats posting increases. For the rest of the year, analysts said they expect prices to rise between 2 per cent and 3 per cent on the back of Hong Kong’s improving economy and employment rate.

“Home prices will increase in the fourth quarter,” the consultant said. “The market for properties valued below HK$10 million (US$1.3 million) will continue to perform well, while those valued over HK$10 million will have fewer transactions.”

The city’s unemployment rate dropped to a new low of 4.5 per cent in the third quarter, the lowest since the coronavirus pandemic began in the early part of 2020.

In August, authorities upgraded their forecast of Hong Kong’s economic growth to between 5.5 per cent and 6.5 per cent for the year, after the economy registered a robust growth of 7.6 per cent in the second quarter.
