疫情下不少企业採在家工作及灵活办公策略，令主打灵活办公室品牌有空间扩充。共享空间品牌IWG表示，租用湾仔皇后大道东8号全幢逾8万平方呎楼面，暂为今年最大手商厦租务。
将设Spaces办公中心 7月开幕
IWG集团表示，租用湾仔皇后大道东8号全幢 (8QRE) 开设Spaces办公中心，而8QRE Spaces预计于2022年7月开幕。集团指，该中心将提供超过900个办公位置及70间私人办公室，同时预留五层空间作企业专属套间。除了服务式办公室，其中两层更将改造为「商务俱乐部」，供会员作流动办公和非正式会议之用。
IWG香港及大湾区区域经理Paul MacAndrew表示，8QRE的新Spaces中心是品牌于香港的第7个据点。该品牌先后于铜锣湾希慎广场、观塘海滨滙等开设分店，为近两年市场上最积极拓展业务的跨国企业，而是次租用8万平方呎楼面，亦暂为本年最大手商厦租务个案。
本年最大手商厦租务 呎租45
业内人士预计，是次成交呎租料约45元，属于市价水平。而据了解，是次品牌与业主属合作关係作营运。该厦总楼面约8万平方呎，原由忠利保险租用，该品牌早前迁往太古城。据悉，2019年共享空间品牌WeWork亦曾预租该厦，惟最终取消，如今由IWG接手。

新地16亿购The YOHO Hub商场 楼面将扩至百万呎
在2015年以93.2亿元夺得元朗站上盖The YOHO Hub发展权的新地 (00016) ，最近以约16.29亿元购入商场部分，平均呎价约1.5万元，将会扩大YOHO Mall商场组合楼面至逾百万平方呎。
据土地註册处资料显示，成协有限公司 (SUCCESS KEEP LIMITED) 以逾16.29亿元，向元朗物业发展有限公司购入The YOHO Hub A期商场部分。而成协有限公司董事为新地雷霆、黄植荣等人。
据新地方面表示，商场部分是新地向港铁购入，亦是整个元朗站 (与西铁) 合作发展的其中一部分。
The YOHO Hub属于西铁上盖项目，当年由港铁担任代理人身份招标，惟物业持有人仍是政府持有的九铁，参考近年批出的西铁项目落成后，都有将商业部分出售予发展商的先例，例如过往荃湾西站全城·滙的如心广场2期，由华懋以12亿元购入；而规模更大的海之恋商场则由长实 (01113) 以逾48亿元购入，故此相信招标条款内亦有说明。
命名YOHO MIX 新界西北最大商场
新地在2015年投得地皮发展权时，曾经透露项目总投资额约200亿元，当中住宅部分The YOHO Hub分两期发展，合共提供1,969伙，第一期已经在去年底开售，折实呎价由1.8万至2.36万元不等。
据悉，上述商场名为YOHO MIX，新地早前业绩曾提及，将为现有的大型商场形点增添10.7万平方呎的零售楼面，扩展部分预计在2023年开业。若以现时成交价16.29亿元计算，即平均呎价约1.5万元左右。
在YOHO MIX落成后，预计YOHO Mall形点的零售楼面会增至约110万平方呎，成为新界西北区最大型的商场。
近年新地积极在新界西北一带布局，包括去年就天水围桥头围商业项目补地价20亿元，将会兴建大型商场及商厦，当中零售楼面达50万平方呎，均反映发展商有意进一步巩固其在新界西北的商业王国。

佐敦加盛商业中心 合中小企
佐敦加盛商业中心位处弥敦道，地点相当便利，每层楼面千餘平方呎，可作传统写字楼或医务所之用。
加盛商业中心位于佐敦弥敦道，属区内核心商业地段，邻近裕华国货、嘉宾商业中心、永安百货等区内地标。交通上，从佐敦港铁站步行至该厦，仅约5至10分鐘，而大厦门口设有多个巴士站，前往港九新界亦方便。
生活配套上，弥敦道、吴松街及白加士街一带食肆林立，附近亦有不少酒店，餐厅选择甚多。
大厦于1996年落成，外形上仍算新净，物业提供两部升降机，通往各楼层，而门口提供水牌，显示各层用户。
每层1200呎 全层私隐度高
物业楼高21层，每层面积约1,200平方呎，可分为A及B室，面积约585至623平方呎，由于楼面不算大，全层私隐度高，而细单位亦合中小型企业使用。景观上，该厦单位均望向弥敦道楼景，尚算开扬。
值得一提，佐敦区传统以来有不少医生楼，包括嘉宾商业中心，而加盛商业中心，目前亦有不少属医疗用途包括眼科医生、中医等，另地段的裕华国货亦有后勤办公室于该厦，另其他商户包括会计师楼等。
同区医务大厦林立，如资本策略 (00497) 持有的弥敦道241至243号香港体检中心 (前称金峰大厦)，早年进行翻新工程，两年前大厦获香港体检及医学诊断中心租用2至11楼共10层，当中2至3楼每层建筑面积5,866平方呎，其餘各层建筑面积4,153平方呎，总建筑面积约44,956平方呎，月租202.3万元，呎租约45元，租期至2025年。
加盛商业中心买卖不算多，对上一宗成交为2018年，物业9楼全层，面积约1,208平方呎，以约1,300万元成交，呎价约10,761元。

IWG Opening New Centre at Former WeWork Space in Swire Wanchai Tower
Flexible office giant IWG is preparing to open its seventh Hong Kong outlet and fifth in a former WeWork location in the city, this time in a newly refurbished building owned by blue-chip developer Swire Properties.
Scheduled to open in July, IWG’s latest Spaces centre will span the entirety of Swire’s 19-storey 8 Queen’s Road East in Wan Chai, just east of the firm’s Pacific Place complex in Admiralty. The 64,800 square feet (6,020 square metres) of space will comprise over 900 workstations and 70 private offices, with five floors dedicated to enterprise suites, Swire said Monday in a release.
“IWG’s commitment to the entire 8QRE will help to boost the flex space offering to not only our Pacific Place tenants, but the greater business community as well,” said Don Taylor, director of office at Swire Properties. “This reinforces our efforts to build a vibrant commercial hub, in and around Pacific Place, where people can thrive amid the rapidly evolving needs of those returning to work.”
A market source confirmed that the space at the property formerly known as Generali Tower had originally been planned as a co-working centre operated by US-based WeWork, which signed a lease for the whole of the building in the first half of 2019.
Expansion Continues
8QRE is located opposite Three Pacific Place between Admiralty and Wan Chai MTR stations. Owned and managed by Swire Properties, the Grade A office building has undergone extensive refurbishment to incorporate features such as a glass facade that lets in natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting, Swire said.
IWG has been accelerating its expansion in Hong Kong through the Spaces and Signature brands over the past year, adding as much as 163,200 square feet to its local network.
The launch of Spaces at 8QRE comes after IWG opened Spaces at Tower 535 in Causeway Bay earlier this year, becoming the fourth IWG outlet in the city to be grafted onto a space vacated by the once-highflying WeWork.
In February of last year, IWG announced the opening of 50,000 square feet of flexible offices under the Signature brand in WeWork’s former space at The Quayside, a Kowloon East office tower owned by Link REIT and Nan Fung Group. That launch followed Signature’s June 2020 takeover of a 30,000 square foot space in Causeway Bay’s Hysan Place skyscraper and a move into Wharf Holdings’ The Gateway commercial complex in Tsim Sha Tsui in December 2020.
“As we continue to expand our network in all markets and work towards adding 1,000 locations globally over the next year, we are very pleased to be a preferred partner for Swire Properties in Hong Kong,” said Paul MacAndrew, country manager for IWG in Hong Kong.
No Rest for Rivals
IWG and rivals Compass Offices and The Executive Centre have been expanding in the Hong Kong market since last year. Even WeWork — which went public in New York last October after its acquisition by a SPAC — leased an entire floor with 13,000 square feet of space and over 200 workstations at 9 Queen's Road Central, although it also shut its location in Lan Kwai Fong.
The Executive Centre, a Hong Kong-based provider of upscale flexible office space, announced last June that it would be acquired by US buyout firm KKR and Singapore’s TIGA Investments for an undisclosed amount, signalling confidence in prospects for the segment.
With average rents for Grade A office space in Hong Kong falling 4.7 percent year-on-year in 2021 after a 19.3 percent plunge in 2020, major occupiers in the city are taking the opportunity to upgrade and expand.
US-based asset manager Invesco is relocating from Three Garden Road to 38,000 square feet at Jardine House in Central, according to agency data.
Standard Chartered Bank, meanwhile, took a 15,000 square feet floor at Hysan’s Lee Garden One in Causeway Bay for its priority banking division, and KKR undertook an in-house expansion of 9,200 square feet at Cheung Kong Center in Central.
