信和集团今年两写字楼项目落成，集团现先推出黄竹坑 Landmark South 甲厦招租，呎租约30餘元；而下半年将推出元朗One North项目，两项目合共提供约80万呎楼面。集团认为今年市场整体商厦供应多，具特色的商厦仍有需求，而集团整体商厦出租率约9成。
信和集团及帝国合作发展的黄竹坑业勤街39号全新甲厦项目 Landmark South，预计今年第2季落成，楼高31层，总楼面达256,957平方呎，包括16层甲厦、3层零售空间及艺术展览厅，另提供佔地9,000平方呎空中花园。艺术发展局将于此开设一个约5,000平方呎的多用途艺术展览，另项目最顶两层29及30楼，享特高楼底，项目可望今年8月入伙。
黄竹坑甲厦 已录成交
信和集团资产管理董事蔡碧林表示，Landmark South 现进行招租，单位面积约1,497至1.4万平方呎，呎租约30餘元。她指因疫情关係，招租工作及睇楼活动最近才开始，暂时反应不俗，已获室内设计、私募基金等机构视察，并已录得数宗细单位成交。项目卖点上，她表示项目邻近港铁站，而黄竹坑本身与中环仅数站之距，租金差幅大，亦邻近南区，地点甚理想。
集团对上一次新写字楼项目落成已为2008年，而今年更有两幢甲厦推出，位于元朗One North，为集团在2015年以16.9亿元投得，邻近港铁朗屏站，涉及2座楼高14层商厦，写字楼面积约44.5万平方呎，另商场零售面积约11.3万平方呎，合共总楼面面积55.8万平方呎。
元朗One North 料第三季招租
蔡碧林指，该项目位处元朗，有北部都会区概念，可招揽创科等商户，亦合半零售商户，预计第三季招租。
信和今年两项目共有80万平方呎楼面推出，而今明两年整体商厦供应量高，蔡碧林认为，无疑市场供应多，惟具特色商厦仍有一定需求，而集团两项目分布南区及北区，具有独特性。
市况方面，疫情下不少机构採在家工作策略，租客对商厦需求或有变，她则认为，很多生意仍需面对面倾谈，在家工作执行上亦有其他困难，故实体办公室重要性不减。她指，集团旗下写字楼整体出租率约9成，与第5波疫情前相若，租客在疫情下无意搬迁，故出租率仍稳定，租金方面，现时租金水平与高峰期比较，仍低约1成以上。

租务市场将转好 租金企稳
整体商厦租金稳定， 有代理行预计，随着租务需求上升，租务市场将转好，租金亦企稳。
据本港一间外资代理行每月商厦租金走势数据，中环超甲厦呎租约134.6元，按月微升0.2%，而整体中环呎租约114元，按月微跌0.2%，按年则升约0.8%，反映租金相对稳定。另外，其他商业区亦相对平稳，跌幅较大为鰂鱼涌，按月跌约2.7%，现呎租约51元。
中环有数幢甲级写字楼在3月底录得双位数空置率，但中环整体空置率维持在7.2%水平，表现较非核心商业区好，边綫区如金鐘及湾仔区，空置率分别达8.4%及11.2%，
IWG租全幢商厦 港岛最大手
租务上，该行指，3月港岛租务成交，主要为细单位，面积6,000平方呎以上单位，获金融及律师行等租用；较大手为金融机构租用中环怡和大厦3.1万平方呎楼面，另律师楼租用中环花园道3号。
港岛区最大手租务，为IWG集团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。该集团指，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5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」。业内人士预计，是次成交呎租料约45元，该厦总楼面约8万平方呎，原由忠利保险租用。据悉，2019年共享空间品牌WeWork亦曾预租该厦全幢，惟最终取消，如今由IWG接手。
另外，中环中心连录成交，物业中低层全层，面积约2.5万平方呎，成交呎租仅约40元。新租客为一家英资软件公司，原租用同厦极高层单位，呎租约75至80元，如今于同厦进行搬迁，主因可节省一半租金。另外，物业高层单位约2,856平方呎，以每呎约70元租出，月租约20万元，上址旧租金每呎约105元，租金跌约33%。
九龙写字楼租金 末季将回升
九龙区方面，大手租务为观塘绿景NEO大厦中层两层楼面，合共近5万平方呎，成交呎租约30元。新租客为手机配件连锁店CASETiFY，该品牌原租用同区工厦天星中心，涉及约1万平方呎，如今大幅扩充至约5万平方呎，属近期罕有扩充个案。
该行指，随着员工重返办公室工作，更多租户重新考虑搬迁等计划，令3月份的写字楼租赁活动水平反弹。该行指，由于疫情缓和，预计未来数月租务活动增加，而九龙区方面，该行料写字楼租金将在未来几个季度保持触底反弹的趋势，并在今年最后一季略有回升，故租金年底将有1至3%的整体增长。

鰂鱼涌海裕街地皮放售 可建40万呎
「去中环化」下，不少企业搬至港岛东，区内商厦项目受重视，现太平协和旗下鰂鱼涌海裕街临海地皮，由接管人委託测量师行进行放售，可重建成40万平方呎商业楼面。
作酒店和办公室用途
有外资代理行表示，获接管人委託，招标出售鰂鱼涌海裕街内地段第8590号餘段及内地段第8723号餘段，项目截标日期为2022年7月7日 (星期四) 中午12时正。
项目原由太平协和持有，去年3月获通过有关原址换地申请，拟换地后的地盘面积或可达91,838平方呎，经补地价后，或可提供建筑面积约400,000平方呎楼面，兴建5幢34米至41米 (主水平基準以上) 的低矮建筑物，作为酒店和办公室用途，平台设4.1万平方呎的观景平台。
据市场人士估计，地皮市值约40亿元，每呎楼面地价约1万元，而日后转作商厦用途需补地价。

Property market on the upswing as Covid wanes
Hong Kong's property market has regained its momentum with both primary and secondary markets performing well over the past few days amid the waning fifth Covid wave in the city.
All 388 homes at The Grand Mayfair I in Yuen Long on offer in the first round of sales sold out last Friday, and the remaining 327 units will be put on the market tomorrow, said the developers.
These homes were over 12 times oversubscribed after attracting more than 4,300 checks, they said.
On offer are 103 one-bedroom flats, 173 with two bedrooms, and 51 with three bedrooms, which are priced from HK$6.45 million to HK$14.91 million after discounts.
The 715-flat project is phase 1A of a 2,200-flat mega development that is being jointly developed by Sino Land (0083), K Wah International (0173) and China Overseas Land and Investment (0688).
The prices of phase 1B, which provides 805 flats, will be announced soon after the Wednesday sales, the developers said.
In Tai Kok Tsui, The Quinn Square Mile recorded at least 51 transactions as of Sunday, said the developer Henderson Land Development (0012), which cashed in nearly HK$330 million from the sales.
In Kai Tak, Henderson's project The Henley II kicks off sales of 98 homes today, including 92 on price lists and six by tenders.
The builder said it has collected over 350 checks for the 92 units on the lists, meaning the flats were more than 2.7 times oversubscribed.
Meanwhile, 10 defaulted flats at Sea to Sky, or phase eight of Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O will be put up for sale again this Friday, said the developers CK Asset (1113) and MTR Corporation (0066).
The completed units, ranging from 468 square feet to 1,054 sq ft, are available for viewing, they said.
In the secondary market, a total of 21 deals were recorded in the 10 major housing estates over the weekend, the same as last week, and above the 20-mark for the seventh week in a row, according to property agency.
Property agent said that the secondary transactions did not decline despite the sales of new projects, reflecting that buyers still have strong interests in the property market.
The agent expects that there will be around 1,500 first-hand deals this month and the overall real estate prices will bounce back as well.

‘The worst is over’ for Hong Kong’s shops segment, with rents and prices to recover on better consumer sentiment
Hong Kong’s shop market can expect a V-shaped rebound in transaction volume and prices in the second half, says Bridgeway CEO Lee
Prime street shop rents have continued to fall since the social unrest in mid-2019, taking the cumulative decline in value to 75 per cent from 2013
Hong Kong’s shop market is likely to see a V-shaped rebound this year as the easing of social distancing measures following the fifth wave of coronavirus outbreak in the city puts consumer spending back on track.
Shop rents could increase by up to 10 per cent in residential areas and by as much as 20 per cent in core areas, said Edwin Lee, founder and CEO of Bridgeway Prime Shop Fund Management.
“The worst for the shop market is over,” said Lee. “I expect that as the pandemic subsides, and with [subsequent] border reopening at home, there will be a V-shaped rebound in the sales volume and transaction prices [of shops] in the second half of the year.”
The prices of shops will increase by 5 to 10 per cent in residential areas and by 10 to 15 per cent in prime areas, he forecasts.
Prime street shop rents weakened 5 per cent in the first quarter this year, adding to a three-year slump. They tumbled by one-third in 2019 in the wake of the social unrest, followed by another 23.4 per cent in 2020 and 4.3 per cent in 2021 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a property agency.
Overall, they have crashed by around 75 per cent since the first quarter of 2013, when the Individual Visit Scheme drew the most number of mainland travellers to the city.
Lee’s optimism is shared by other market insiders.
“Rents in traditional tourist areas will definitely increase by 10 to 20 per cent, as most of the shops in prime areas have seen rents fall by as much as 70 per cent from their highs,” a surveyor said.
On the other hand, the surveyor said that the rent increases in residential neighbourhoods will be sluggish, as unlike core areas where rents slumped during the pandemic, they moved higher in the same time span.
Meanwhile, the city recorded 288 shop transactions in the first three months this year, the lowest since 248 deals in the second quarter of 2020, according to Land Registry data. The value fell to HK$7.58 billion (US$966 million), the least since the first quarter of 2021.
“Even if there is a sixth wave, [prices] will not drop greatly [as] buyers feel they can bet on it, considering the [low] prices now,” a property agent said, adding that selling prices will be largely flat moving forward.
Russell Street, once the world’s most expensive retail strip, has recently seen a few short-term tenancies of face-mask shops. These retailers sometimes land a bargain, paying as little as HK$80,000 per month, which is about 15 to 25 per cent of peak rents seen in 2013.
With consumers unleashing “revenge spending” in the market, Bridgeway last month found a tenant for its street-level shop in Sheung Wan, who paid significantly higher than the previous client, Lee said.
The company signed a five-year lease for the 2,300-sq ft shop, with a fixed monthly rent of HK$130,000 for the first two years versus HK$100,000 previously, he added. The rate will increase to HK$143,000 per month thereafter.
