发展商致力发展绿色建筑，新地执行董事陈康祺表示，集团广泛应用建筑讯息模拟 (BIM) 技术，旗下95个香港项目已获108项绿色建筑相关认证，其中观塘巧明街98号，更是全数达到世界级环保建筑标準，写字楼出租率约30%。
陈康祺接受访问时认为，近年愈来愈多大企业及跨国企业在选择写字楼时，会考虑物业是否持有环保建筑标準认证为先决条件，绿色建筑概念将成为全球大趋势。
陈康祺称，新地的绿色建筑及生活概念不只是口号，集团一直以来都有投入资源及资金，持续优化旗下物业的环境表现，并运用创新科技发展智慧绿色建筑，有助减少建筑物能源虚耗，以及维修保养成本，长远来说有效节省整体开支。
已获108项绿色认证
陈康祺指，集团独特之处是採用垂直结合业务架构理念，不同团队一起参与整体规划，确保每个环节都达到非常高的水平，也确保最新的核心商业项目达到世界级的环保和智能标準。
就以旗下观塘巧明街98号的综合商业项目为例，陈康祺透露，项目採用投资逾2000万的智能大厦管理系统，能实时监察和调校项目内的空气质素、冷气系统等，达到最佳节能效果，相当于每年减少逾2.1万吨二氧化碳排放量。
如今建筑业界重视智能科技应用，陈康祺表示，新地早于十多年前已开始使用建筑信息模拟技术 (BIM)，而在巧明街98号项目更是全面使用BIM，减省在地盘施工时出错的机会，亦有助物管处理日后的管理和维修。
达世界级环保和智能标準
陈氏透露，以往取得世界级环保建筑认证的项目均以写字楼为主，而巧明街98号属于本港首个从设计、建筑、设施管理和建筑物运作方面，均囊括美国LEED及WELL最高级别的铂金认证，以及香港绿色建筑议会颁授的绿建环评 (BEAM Plus) 新建建筑铂金认证的综合商业项目；至于环球贸易广场、新鸿基中心、国际金融中心一期及二期同样荣获LEED铂金级认证，其中楼龄超过40年的新鸿基中心，更是获颁此殊荣楼龄最高的香港商厦。
巧明街98号「The Millennity」由两座大楼组成，各提供20层甲级写字楼，总面积楼面约65万方呎，基层为10层大型商场，以及设有地库4层停车场。项目已取得入伙纸，甲级写字楼现时有约3成出租率，基座商场最快于明年开始招租。

Property 'headed for a U-shaped rebound'
Hong Kong's property market has reached a short-term bottom and may see a U-shaped rebound in the future, property agent said.
The market is now settling down, but the medium and long-term prospects will depend on the performance of the real economy, the agent said on a television program yesterday.
The rebound may not be V-shaped but it is also not L-shaped that will always stay low, the agent noted.
The agent believes that the pace of US interest rate hikes will be slower even if rate cuts are out of the question in the near future as the Federal Reserve has to balance economic and employment factors.
Regarding the Housing Bureau's latest estimation that some 105,000 new private residential homes may be available in the coming three to four years, the agent said the bureau was "playing with numbers," pointing out that the actual number completed every year was only around 20,000 homes, about 10,000 fewer than in the eighties.
Meanwhile, a property agency recorded a total of 13 deals in the 10 major housing estates over the weekend, down from 14 a week ago.
Its rival another agency saw a 7.1 percent week-on-week rise in the top 10 estates transactions to 15 even amid the traditional off-season Lunar New Year.
Another agent said the border reopening and expectations of a less-hawkish Fed continued to boost the overall market sentiment as well as transaction numbers.
Many homeowners are optimistic about the outlook and have raised their asking prices, the agent said. The agent expects the market to be even more buoyant in February.
Primary market sentiment has also improved of late.
Henderson Land Development's (0012) One Innovale - Cabanna in Fan Ling recorded two deals yesterday, sending total sales this month up to 143 flats.
In Ho Man Tin, 128 Waterloo, co-developed by Top Spring International (3688) and Chun Wo Development, sold a 1,258-square-foot flat with four bedrooms for HK$34.75 million, or HK$27,623 per sq ft via tender.
A total of four flats with four bedrooms were sold in the month with the developers raking in over HK$130 million.
