永伦集团本月初沽售中环皇后大道中9号34楼顶层全层，市场消息指涉资2.3亿，不过，土地註册处资料显示，该全层登记作价2.25亿，买家为一间海外公司。
作价2.25亿
该物业登记买家为泓兴阳有限公司 (HongXingYang Limited)，为一间于海外註册公司，英文名称为普通话拚音，未知真正买家身份。不过，市场消息指，买家为内地客，有机会自用物业，惟相关消息尚未获证实。
该34楼顶层全层，建筑面积8570方呎，以成交价2.25亿计算，平均呎价26254元。
市传内地用家承接
永伦集团于2018年4月以每呎61844元「摸顶」购入该全层，当时市场瞩目，涉资5.3亿，持货至今7年帐面亏损3.05亿，物业贬值58%。皇后大道中9号为中环区内散业权的指标甲厦，由于位处中环核心区，向来受用家及投资者追捧。

核心区甲厦租金料「谷底回稳」
市场消息指出，恒基旗下中环新海滨3号甲厦六层楼面，获简街资本 (Jane Street)承租，总面积共逾22万方呎，月租约3061万，租期五年，租金总开支高逾18亿﹗美联工商铺指，该宗交易反映用家对顶级甲厦的租务需求正在上升。
根据一间本港代理行的内部数据，甲厦租金指数于去年12月跌至125.4点，创下自2017年以来该行有纪录以来最低水平。然而，租金指数跌至谷底后辗转回升，本年首5个月间站稳128点，最新5月的的数值则为128.6点。
该行代理认为，随著各大企业正考虑迁册回港、中外企业锐意来港发展、加上港股市场回暖，以及本港进一步拓展加密货币市场，预期会对商厦租务需求产生正面催化作用，料该指数有望于年内回升至130点或以上之水平。
该代理表示，其实市场对顶级甲厦的需求一直存在，今年2月，美资对冲基金以约660万月租，租用中环The Henderson合共3层楼面，面积约达5.5万方呎，呎租约为120元，是为今年至今瞩目的商厦租务。

中环海滨地王 料最快明年登场
中环及金鐘为传统核心商业区，商业用地有价有市。虽然近年商业市道受挫，政府暂缓推售商业用地，但计入即将落成及待推的商业地皮，中环一带潜在商业楼面供应达逾340万平方呎，当中海滨用地料最快明年登场。
拟分2期发展 已录首宗租
中环及金鐘的商业地供应相当罕有，不过在近年商厦市道转差前，政府有持续推出区内的优质商业用地。若计入潜在待推地皮，中环一带商业楼面供应逾340万平方呎，其中以由恒地 (00012) 于2021年以高价投得的中环海滨3号用地的规模最大，总楼面达约161万平方呎，比邻国际金融中心二期。根据发展商2024年的中期报告，项目拟分2期发展，分别料于2026年第四季及2032年第四季落成。
值得留意的是，发展商于2021年以约508亿元、每平方呎楼面地价约31,463元投得上述用地，创下本港历来总价最贵地王。发展商亦已于2022年向城规会申请发展3座楼高6至10层的建筑，以用作综合办公室、商业及零售发展等用途，而方案已于2023年获会方批准。项目最新都已录得首宗租务，由一间美资金融机构承租。
3商业地 去向未定
区内不乏旧楼重建项目，包括由永泰 (00369)、资本策略 (00497) 及市建局合作发展的中环嘉咸街地盘C项目，亦将重建为甲级商厦、酒店、餐饮及零售的项目，其总楼面面积约43.2万平方呎，发展商最新中期报告指，项目的地基工程已经完成，料于2026年初竣工。
楼市下行，发展商投地意慾转差，加上商厦空置率高企，政府早前已表示今个财政年度 (2025年4月至2026年3月) 不会推出商业地，但盘点区内仍有3幅商业用地待推，总楼面涉近140万平方呎，当中规模最大的料为金鐘廊重建项目。其实项目曾纳入卖地表 (2023年4月至2024年3月) 内，不过当局最终未有推出。
项目佔地约9.6万平方呎，总楼面涉近100万平方呎，位于港铁金鐘站上盖，位置优越，而且属于传统核心商业区内，地皮价值高。规划署于2014年已为其展开重建规划研究，政府在2023年初公布推出项目时，市场对用地估值曾一度高达225亿元。而其餘2幅待推用地，包括中环新海滨1号及2号用地则共涉约40万平方呎。
美资金融机构 天价租地王
恒地 (00012) 旗下中环海滨3号地王项目最新录得首宗租务，获美资金融机构以月租3,000万元「天价」承租。
佔6层楼面 逾22万呎
恒地上周宣布，透过其子公司与量化交易与投资管理公司简街资本 (下称「Jane Street」) 签订租约，该公司为集团旗下中环海滨3号用地的首个租户。
Jane Street将会租用项目第一期6层楼面，面积合共涉逾22.3万平方呎，佔第一期办公室大楼及附属楼面面积逾7成，预计在2027年初交付Jane Street使用。
集团补充，此项交易创下中环核心商业区数十年来最大宗单一办公室租赁纪录。据恒地通告透露，有关租赁每呎月租达137元 (不包括管理费、空调费、政府差餉及其他服务费及支出)，租赁年期为5年，并自2028年起生效，设续租权，公司有权选择续租4年，而续租期期间的租金则将按续租时的当时市场租值釐定。如以涉及面积22.3万平方呎计算，亦即相当于每月租金高达逾3,000万元。

新世界尖沙咀商住项目 申增酒店涉99房间
商厦市道疲弱，新世界 (00017) 旗下尖沙咀汉口道重建项目去年获城规会批准作住宅加商业发展，近日再提新方案将一半商业楼拨作酒店发展，新增99间酒店房。
该项目在去年获城规会批准以地积比率12倍重建，总楼面13.9万平方呎，其中29%作住宅发展，其餘则作办公室、商铺及食肆。
发展商近日提交新方案，维持原有地积比率及总楼面面积，不过将原有9.9万平方呎的商业楼面方面，拨出5.5万平方呎或55%楼面，由「办公室」变更为「酒店」，将会提供99间客房。
申请人指，拟议发展的酒店供应完全符合政府支持旅游业可持续增长的目标。若果新方案获批准，项目将在2029年落成。
按照新方案，项目楼高27层，其中地下至7楼主要作零售及餐饮，部分作办公室，8楼至17楼则作酒店及后勤办公室，而18楼以上则会作住宅及住宅会所。在新方案下，住宅部分维持近4万平方呎楼面不变，但单位数目由110伙减少至95伙，平均单位面积增加16%至418平方呎，反映发展商减建了1房或以下细单位。

Greater China commercial real estate, finance firms face rising distress: AlixPartners
Restructuring professionals expect more out-of-court restructurings and distressed M&As as alternatives to formal insolvency proceedings
Commercial real estate and financial services companies in Asia are set to bear the brunt of corporate distress this year and next, with the Greater China region most likely to see a wave of financial restructurings, according to AlixPartners.
Restructuring professionals are bracing for an uptick in activity across Asia this year, with about 62 per cent of respondents anticipating more out-of-court restructurings, according to a survey published by the restructuring specialist on Wednesday. An equal number of professionals expect a rise in distressed merger and acquisition transactions as an alternative to formal insolvency proceedings.
At the same time, 92 per cent of respondents said geopolitical disruptions – including elections, leadership transitions and regional conflicts – were likely to drive more distressed situations in the next 12 months, the survey found.
The survey of 200 professionals – including investors, bankers and financial advisers – also found that Greater China was likely to see the most restructuring activity in the coming 12 months, with 33 per cent of respondents expecting heightened workout activity in the market. Some 22 per cent of respondents expect Singapore and Japan to follow.
About 39 per cent of respondents believed commercial real estate to be the sector most likely to face significant distress in 2025, followed by financial services at 35 per cent. This comes amid lingering high interest rates, tighter credit conditions, and a pullback in investor appetite for real estate and financial assets across the region.
“In 2025, the perfect storm has moved to Hong Kong’s property sector,” said Una Ge, partner and managing director at AlixPartners Hong Kong.
Unlike mainland China’s pre-crisis unsecured lending spree, most Hong Kong developers’ debt was asset-backed, she said. “But with around 20 per cent vacancy rates in commercial assets, even prime collateral can’t mask the exit risks.”
The survey results come amid a rising wave of distressed asset disposals at huge losses, as property owners struggle to meet debt obligations amid high rates, declining rental incomes and falling valuations.
In 2024, roughly three out of four property transactions in Hong Kong were distressed sales, according to a property consultancy.
In April, receivers took over a luxury mansion in Pok Fu Lam where “Cassette King” David Chan Ping-chi and his family had lived since the 1980s, marketing it for HK$430 million (US$54.8 million) late last month.
Chan, who defaulted on a loan of about HK$350 million from Fubon Bank earlier this year, has been trying to offload assets since last year.
He also owned seven floors at The Center, selling two of them to Singapore’s DBS Group in September and November for an average price of HK$26,500 per square foot, a discount of more than 20 per cent to his acquisition cost.

M1 North Point Hotel on sale via EOI for $232m
The M1 North Point Hotel has been put up for sale via an expression-of-interest process with an indicative price of HK$232 million – about 54 percent lower than its asking price six years ago, according to a property agency.
The deadline for submissions has been set for noon on July 15.
The 28-story hotel – excluding the 4th, 14th, and 24th floors – has a gross floor area of approximately 30,224 square feet and provides 92 guest rooms. The property is currently in operation and, according to the owner, maintains an average occupancy rate of around 99 percent.
The agency said the Hong Kong government’s talent admission schemes have seen more professionals and their families settle in the city, driving up demand for school placements and housing.
"As a result, institutions are eyeing whole-block hotels like this one for potential conversion into student or staff housing, given its proximity to tertiary campuses and minimal renovation needs," the agency noted.

Deep Water Pavilia Phase 5A of The Southside in Wong Chuk Hang, has so far received over 4,700 checks, making the 100 flats it is currently offering oversubscribed by 47 times, according to developers.
The project, led by New World Development (0017), will launch its second round of sales on Friday, offering 100 units, alongside a tender sale of 57 units on the same day.
The flat prices may be further increased after this round of sales, developers said.
The project recorded 13 additional transactions for units via tender on Monday, generating over HK$300 million in cash for the day.
The project has sold a total of 199 units, cashing in over HK$4.1 billion.
