长实会德丰新地竞投 估值39.4亿起

属于未来大型住宅供应来源之一的港铁 (00066) 大屿山小蠔湾项目第1期昨日截标，仅接获3份标书，主要吸引大型发展商入标，标书数目亦属港铁项目约8年来最少。业内人士认为，这反映发展商投地时充满戒心，尤其大型项目。

项目于昨日下午2时截收标书，港铁公布，项目昨共接获3份标书，港铁公司将详细考虑收到的标书文件，并于稍后公布招标结果。

去年接获33份意向书

据昨日现场所见，有3个财团到场入标，包括长实 (01113) 、会德丰及新地 (00016) 。事实上，项目于去年12月时，共接获33份意向书，反应相当不俗，惟是次入标的反应则明显转淡，仅接3份标书。资料显示，是次接获的标书数目，属于2014年4月同属港铁项目日出康城4期后最少，当年标书数目同为3份。

会德丰地产物业发展高级经理何伟锦表示，集团是次独资入标，鑑于项目属于新发展区，而集团在日出康城亦有发展经验，看好小蠔湾项目未来发展潜力，又指出价已经考虑各类因素。对于近期发展商投地时出价较低，亦有地皮接连流标，他就认为这反映目前市况。

业界指项目规模大 有戒心

有代理认为，是次招标反应符合预期，因为项目规模大，属于长綫投资，加上目前楼市充斥不利因素，发展商投地时十分有戒心。该代理又直言，目前土地供应量大大增加，对于压低楼市可谓「万试万灵」。

有测量师表示，鑑于项目属于港铁项目，一般而言较其他远离铁路站的流标风险低，但若不幸流标，会影响日后项目其他期数的招标进度及短期内的政府土地招标反应，对后市影响颇深远。

是次招标项目的总楼面达约131.3万平方呎，截标前市场估值约39.4亿至60亿元，每平方呎楼面地价约3,000至4,570元。

市建西营盘项目中标价高次标22%

去年底由长实以11.61亿投得的市建局西营盘皇后大道西/贤居里项目，该局昨日公布其餘6份落选标价，出价介乎7.08亿至9.5亿，呎价约5826至7817元，而中标价较次标高出约22.2%，可见长实出价进取。

该项目在去年11月底共接获7份标书，市建局于同年12月中旬批出项目发展权，最终长实以11.61亿力压6财团夺得项目，当时每方呎楼面地价约9554元。市建局以不具名方式，公布其餘6份落选标价，首两标出价已见差距，其中次标出价约9.5亿，与中标价相差约2.11亿，楼面呎价则约7817元，首标较次标仅高约22.2%。

次标出价9.5亿

紧随其后为9.08749亿，与中标价相差约27.8%；同时有4标出价不足9亿，当中最低入标价仅7.08亿，与中标价相差约4.53亿，差幅达约64%，楼面呎价仅约5826元。

市场消息指出，项目售楼收益达35亿，中标财团便须与市建局分红，固定分红40%，若以项目总楼面约12.15万方呎计，相当于每方呎售价约2.88万便需要分红，对比今年8月批出的崇庆里/桂香街发展项目当时每方呎售价逾3.16万便需要分红为少。

另外，发展商亦需向市建局自行提出「一口价」建议，将成为胜负的关键。该项目设有限呎条款，住宅单位面积不得少于300方呎，同时规定至少一半的单位面积不可超过480方呎。

项目位于皇后大道西129至151号，邻近港铁西营盘站。市建局2018年3月展开上述项目，并于2019年8月以实用面积每方呎24051元向小业主提出收购价建议。项目地盘面积约1.69万方呎，可建总楼面约12.15万方呎。

Oyster Bay gets only three bids

MTR Corporation (0066) received only three bids for phase 1 of its Oyster Bay/Siu Ho Wan property development - lower than market expectations - when the tender closed yesterday.

CK Asset (1113) and Wheelock Properties were two of the bidders.

Wheelock said it remains positive about Oyster Bay's potential and has taken the recent withdrawal of previous projects into account while placing its bid.

Phase 1 will offer about 1,400 flats with 1.25 million square feet for residential use as well as 67,400 sq ft of retail space.

Market valuations range from HK$3.94 billion to HK$6.56 billion, or HK$3,000 to HK$5,000 per sq ft of floor area.

Surveyor says it is unlikely that the tender will be withdrawn as it is a key project, sitting atop a subway station. It had forecast eight bids at most, taking into account interest rate hikes.

Elsewhere, a residential site on Po Fung Road in Tsuen Wan will close bids tomorrow. The plot has a site area of 89,987 sq ft and an estimated buildable floor area of 314,309 sq ft.

Another surveyors expects the site to be valued at HK$1.41 billion or HK$4,500 per sq ft, which could be attractive for medium- or small-sized developers.

Meanwhile, the Urban Renewal Authority revealed that the second highest bid for its Queen's Road West/In Ku Lane development project was HK$950 million, 22.2 percent lower than the winner offer of HK$1.16 billion from CK Asset.

Property prices set to rise 10pc amid rebound

Morgan Stanley has raised the property price forecast for Hong Kong this year to a 10 percent rise from 5 percent earlier.

The number of transactions in the primary market will rebound by 28 percent and the secondary market by 15 percent in 2023 from a low base in 2022, as interest rate peaks and the border with the mainland reopened, the investment bank said.

Rents of street shops will also rise by 5 percent this year after a 7 percent drop in 2022 and retail sales growth projection is revised up by 6 percentage points to 15 percent as mainland tourists return to the city, it estimates.

Hong Kong Property Services is even more upbeat, expecting local home prices to rise up to 15 percent this year.

If the upcoming budget provides more stimulus to the economy or even cuts the stamp duty, new home transactions could soar by over 60 percent and second-hand transactions by over 20 percent, the agency said.

New home sales nearly doubled after the border reopened with China on January 8 compared to the previous 31 days started December 8 and overall home prices have increased 0.88 percent since the beginning of the year, its peer a property agency said.

In the primary market, meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said the sales brochure of phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun will be released next week and sales could take place as soon as this month. Showrooms will open next week and the first price list may be unveiled as well, the developer said.

The project, atop a mall, provides 729 flats.

In Ap Lei Chau, Chuang's China Investments (0298) has named its new project - which includes 105 flats with sizes ranging from 205 to 317 square feet - as Aruna. The flats include 20 studios, 77 one-bedroom and eight special units. The sales brochure will be released next week and sales could be launched in the quarter, the developer said.

In Tseung Kwan O, Nan Fung Group has trimmed the maximum discount for 54 flats at LP10 by 1 percent, according to its updated price lists.

In Tai Kok Tsui, 18 flats at The Quinn Square Mile will be put on the market on Sunday, the developer Henderson Land Development (0012) said.

Ranging from 206 to 382 sq ft, the flats are priced at between HK$4.68 million and HK$8.88 million after discounts, or from HK$22,385 to HK$26,220 per sq ft.

In Cheung Sha Wan, Grand Victoria II, co-developed by Sino Land (0083) and others, sold five homes yesterday for a total of HK$77.38 million.
