中环盈置大厦巨铺每月55万 丢空3年终租出租金较疫市前跌38%

核心区巨铺受追捧，中环盈置大厦一个复式巨铺，面积约6000方呎，自从运动用品旗舰店撤出，铺位在丢空3年后，终以每月55万租出，平均呎租93元，较3年前旧租金下跌38%。

上址为中环干诺道中41号盈置大厦地铺及1楼，建筑面积约5942方呎，铺面向干诺道中及域多利皇后街大单边。

平均呎租93元

市场消息透露，自从开关以来，业主以每月65万放租，近日成功租出，月租55万，较意向租金减10万，暂未知新租客所属行业，惟并非时装，亦不是饮食业。

租金较高峰期跌66%

该巨铺旧租客运动用品连锁店NIKE，10年前，NIKE将旗舰店由区内皇后大道中的万年大厦巨铺，搬迁至该盈置大厦巨铺，其时正值铺市高峰期，租金高企，该巨铺月租高达160万，及后于疫市前续租时，月租减至90万，2020年8月，NIKE敌不过疫市只好撤出，铺位亦一直丢空，业主亦大幅减价放租，曾一度叫价50万，在市况低迷时仍乏人问津。

直至今年通关后，该铺位开始受注目，业主亦将叫租提高至65万，今番终获承租，最新租金较当时跌38%，相对高峰期更下跌66%，却高于市况最低潮时的意向价。

近期区内巨铺承租，包括中环皇后大道中36号兴瑋大厦2及3楼，建筑面积共约8500方呎，由威士忌品牌麦卡伦以每月约50万承租，平均呎租约60元，在此设立旗舰店，上址位处中环核心地段，是皇后大道中通往兰桂坊必经之路，该品牌选址于此，可网罗中环上班一族、兰桂坊常客及旅客。

麦卡伦承租九龙湾国际交易中心单位多时，面积约1.2万方呎，市值呎租约20餘元，早前租用金鐘太古广场二座中层全层，面积约2万方呎，市值呎租约100元，现时由东九龙升级至核心区，开设旗舰店。

工商铺录351宗註册 代理行：按月升18.2%

有本地代理行综合土地註册处资料显示，8月份工商铺註册量共录351宗，按月升约18.2%，金额录38.76亿，按月增约27.7%。当中工商铺三板块的註册宗数按月录全线上升，商铺註册量升幅最大，8月共录106宗登记，按月升约35.9%，其次为商厦板块，最新60宗註册，按月增约22.4%。工厦维持平稳，8月录185宗登记，按月升约8.8%。

中高价物业交投大增

若按金额划分，8月份註册量升幅最多的为价值5,000万以上至1亿物业，共录10宗註册，按月升150%。其次为价值2000万以上至5000万物业，最新录25宗，按月增约38.9%。中细价物业註册量维持平稳，500万或以下最新录189宗，按月升约8.0%。至于介乎500万以上至1000万物业，登记量则录72宗，按月升约26.3%。

8月份录4宗逾亿元註册成交，其中1宗为商厦，尖沙咀柯士甸路28号新港国际大厦全幢以1.38亿成交。商铺录3宗登记，包括鰂鱼涌英皇道983至987A号瑞士楼多个铺位、荃湾荃威花园1期地下及2楼商场部分，以及西营盘皇后大道西476至482号永兴楼地下多个铺位，作价分别2.49亿、1.7亿及1.15亿。

该行代理表示，虽然8月份工商铺註册量略见回升，但由于市场上欠缺新盘推售，加上经济仍未恢復到疫情前水平，相信短期内註册量将在目前水平徘徊。

西营盘旧楼批强拍底价2.54亿

市区住宅地皮供应有限，财团纷纷透过併购旧楼以增加土储。其中，西营盘时利楼获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价2.54亿，较2021年申请强拍时的市场估值逾1.8亿，高出逾41%。

市场估值逾1.8亿

土地审裁处资料显示，位于西营盘荔安里1、3、5号，以及朝光街21、22、23、24号的时利楼，直至判决时，财团收购约82.857%业权，尚餘7个单位未收购，而餘下未收购的7个单位中，有4个由九建执行董事柯沛钧持有。

上述项目地盘面积约2977方呎，现址为1幢楼高7层的商住物业，地下及地库设有商铺，2楼至5楼为住宅部分，物业于1971年落成，楼龄52年。

事实上，市区地皮供应不足，特别是港岛区，因此发展商频向旧楼埋手，例如由恒基及太古地产合作收购的英皇道及滨海街一系列旧楼，早前获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价高达63.1亿，创本港有史以来最高的强拍底价纪录，将于本月19日正式拍卖。

商厦租金倒退至哪一年？

差估署数据显示，今年7月整体商厦租金指数227点，大概回到2015年年中水平。

翻查差餉物业估价署数据，今年上半年继续有商厦楼面入伙，总数约有近48万平方呎楼面落成，其中超过43万平方呎是甲级商厦，而预计今年全年约有287万平方呎楼面落成，甲级佔270万平方呎。

商厦市况疲弱，几乎可以说是席捲全球，澳洲房地产委员会 (PCA) 8月发表最新研究数据，显示澳洲今年上半年的写字楼空置率升至90年代以来最高。由于新冠疫情以来在家工作情况普遍，加上经济放缓，对写字楼物业经营造成压力。

大多数大企业总部所在的大城市，空置率大部分都超过1成，悉尼为11.5%，墨尔本15%，珀斯15.9%。另外，有外资代理行报告显示，今年第二季加拿大全国写字楼空置率升至18.1%，高于第一季的17.7%，是自1994年第一季18.6%以来的最高水平。

如果要比空置率的高低，内地城市情况更严峻，另一外资代理行早前公布的数据显示，第二季度上海甲级写字楼净吸纳量录得33万平方呎，环同比分别下滑77.5%、59.9%。在净吸纳量大幅下跌的情况下，上海甲级写字楼整体空置率攀升至18.59%，环比上升1.28%。

北京今年第二季写字楼空置率升至18.3%，创下近13年新高，租金则倒退到2012年的水平。财经网引用三间外资代理行数据指，第二季度，北京写字楼的净吸纳量为负57万平方呎，租户不断流失。

作为北京高新科技企业集中地的中关村，写字楼空置率达到了16.9%，创了近10年高位，其平均租金跌幅更大，按季下跌了7.6%。有受访附近居民提到，在2020年前后，中关村附近的写字楼到晚上9时依旧灯火通明，叫车软件上排队都得20分鐘起跳。现在的晚上，几乎再没有整片亮起灯光的大楼。

各一綫城市的写字楼各面临着不同程度出租困境，上半年，上海、广州、深圳的甲级写字楼空置率分别升至18.6%、18%及24.5%。至于香港，据其中一间代理行的最新统计，整体甲厦空置率为15.7%，中环甲级商厦是9.9%，中环超甲级商厦是7.4%。官方数据差餉物业估价署数据，2022年整体空置14.4%，甲厦15.1%，乙厦15.1%，丙级是8.8%。至于上文提到北京商厦租金回到2012年，香港又如何？

7月租金指数 回到2015年中

同为差估署数字，今年7月整体商厦租金指数227点，大概回到2015年年中水平；甲级商厦的租金指数是227.8点，大概回落至2015年初的水平；乙级大概跌至2015年年中，丙级则回落至2017年上半年。

有关内地商厦报道，提到其中一间外代理代理为内地商厦作出比喻，「这就像疫情三年，办公楼市场生了一场病。本以为今年第二季度已经完全康復可以跑马拉松了，但走到小区门口发现身体还是不舒服，只能先回来。」香港同样是大病一场，调理需时！

3,000 homes to hit market

Nearly 3,000 new homes are ready to hit the market after the Lands Department granted presale consents to four projects including Lohas Park phase 12A and 12B.

In August, a total of four presale consent agreements were approved, covering 2,998 units. This represents a decrease of 1,604 units or 34.9 percent from that of July when 4,602 units were approved.

Lohas Park Phase 12A and 12B, above the Lohas Park MTR station in Tseung Kwan O, are the result of a joint development between Wheelock Properties and MTR Corporation (0066). They will contribute a combined total of 1,335 residential units, with 650 units in Phase 12A and 685 units in Phase 12B.

In respect of the Subsidized Sales Flats Project at 21 On Yu Road, Kwun Tong, under the Hong Kong Housing Society, and the third tower of the eResidence, a Starter Homes Pilot Project for Hong Kong residents in To Kwa Wan under the Urban Renewal Authority, they both have obtained presale consents. These projects will offer 1,403 units and 260 units respectively.

The department also received last month applications regarding three projects including two by Early Light International, involving a total of 1,361 units.

Meanwhile, 18 units of The Harmonie, a project co-developed by Henderson Lands (0012) and the URA in Cheung Sha Wan will be put on the market next Tuesday for an average price of HK$17,470 a square foot after discounts. The sole three-bedroom apartment in this batch, of 769 sq ft in space, has seen its price drop from HK$15 million one and a half years ago to HK$11.3 million today.

In a separate development, a Taiwanese beverage maker has rented a 560-sq-ft shop at 33 Argyle Street in Mong Kok for HK$52,000 per month, or HK$93 per sq ft.

Hong Kong wealthy families, funds among likely bidders in distress sale of defaulter Golden Wheel’s retail building in Tin Hau

Golden Wheel’s Tin Hau property is likely to sell for a price much lower than the original HK$1.25 billion demanded by its owner a year ago

The property is just one of the handful of assets seized by creditors as the owners have been unable to meet debt obligations

Hong Kong’s property market remains stressed with the potential distress sale of a retail building providing further evidence of the weak demand in the sector. The property which is located in Tin Hau is in creditor possession and is now likely to sell for a price much lower than the original HK$1.25 billion (US$160 million) that its owner, Golden Wheel Tiandi Holdings, was asking about a year ago, according to market sources.

The sale of the 25-story Golden Wheel Plaza on 68 Electric Road in a district known for its local cuisine and food stalls has drawn interest from “investors including funds and high-net-worth local families looking for a trophy asset”.

“All I can say is that this is a receivers’ sale of asset, so as long as the receivers accept an offer made, it will push through,” said the analyst. “The owner tried to sell the property a year ago but did not find any buyer for the asking price. But this time it is different.”

The property is just one of a handful of assets seized by creditors as the owners have been unable to meet their debt obligations.

China Evergrande Group’s Hong Kong headquarters building, a 27-story tower in Wan Chai, is yet to find a buyer. Creditors put the building on the market a year ago to recover their dues as the world’s most indebted developer struggled to restructure its US$300 billion liabilities.

In January, the former headquarters of embattled Goldin Financial Holdings was bought by PAG and Singapore-backed Mapletree Investment for a significant discount of HK$5.6 billion, according to PAG.

The site of the Golden Wheel Plaza building was bought for about HK$800 million and the construction cost of the building, which was completed in 2020, was about HK$200 million, according to a source.

Currently, the building, which has a gross floor area of 51,971 sq feet, is 60 per cent occupied with personal-care retailer Mannings and some food-and-beverage shops on the ground floor, the source said.

Rents paid by tenants on the ground floor are estimated to be as high as HK$120 per square foot, while those on the higher floors are estimated to be about HK$50 per square foot.

“The occupancy is a bit low but it is likely to improve once the building is managed better,” the source said.

A property agent said “the building has a lot of value. “It has good restaurants as tenants, including one that has a Michelin star, and it has a good sea view and is surrounded by more restaurants and hotels. It’s a destination area.”

An international property agency has been appointed by receivers to conduct the public sale by tender that is set to close on October 31 at noon.

The property is located close to the Tin Hau MTR Station and Victoria Park and not far from the bustling shopping district of Causeway Bay. The property includes a car park and is near a taxi rank.

“Investors may seize this opportunity to purchase the property while the global market is still in the recovery phase,” the agent said. “When the global economy fully rebounds, stable rental income and property appreciation can be expected.”

Debt-stricken Golden Wheel, the Nanjing-based developer of the property, reported a higher loss in the six months ended June. Its net loss widened by 44 per cent to 518.9 million yuan from 360 million yuan a year ago, and the company continues to battle with negative working capital as its current liabilities are far in excess of current assets.

The developer defaulted on a US$40 million loan in October last year, which triggered cross-defaults on its HK$304.135 million and 3.377 billion yuan loans.

Golden Wheel said it was taking steps to restructure its debts and raise funding.
