旺角地4.7亿批 呎价1个月升1.6

建材商每呎9252元夺得 曾发展西贡涛

旺角蚊型地价上升,上周接获多达27份标书的豉油街地皮,最终由建材商以4.67亿元批出,扣除政府设施部分,楼面呎价达9,252元,较今个月同区地价上升1.6倍。

该幅地皮位于豉油街及上海街交界,地盘面积仅6,733平方呎,在上周接获多达27份标书,吸引眾多中小型发展商入标,市场估值介乎4.2亿至6.4亿元。

市场估值下限投得

地政总署公布,地皮由以4.67亿元批予展光有限公司,属于市场估值下限,以地皮最高楼面60,595平方呎计算,每呎楼面地价约7,710元,但若果扣除地契内规定拨出1万平方呎作政府设施,实际住宅楼面只有50,497平方呎,即每呎楼面地价9,252元。

相较月初同区新填地街的蚊型地每呎楼面地价仅3,512元,是次地价上升1.6倍。

据分析指,原因是对上一幅地皮面积太细,而且中间被后巷分隔,进一步增加发展限制,导致地价异常地低,而今次地皮属于单边位置,而且地盘面积亦是对上一幅地的1.5倍,较具发展潜力。

至于今次投得旺角地皮的买家展光有限公司,註册董事为黄宝恋,据指是建材商健联发展相关人士。

该财团过往曾经发展西贡豪宅涛苑,亦曾经投资九龙塘屋苑,当中在2018年以卖壳形式沽出又一村高槐路屋地,套现5.2亿元,帐面获利逾4亿元,足够支付大部分地价。

若果以现时中标地价计算,加上建筑成本及「发水」10%等因素,估计日后开售呎价达1.86万元,跟同区新楼SKYPARK的二手呎价相若。

观塘4项目啟动 430万呎商用楼面

观塘南近年逐渐转型,区内将有4项大型商业项目即将上马,可为该区带来逾430万平方呎新商业楼面,加快变天。

政府多年前将观塘,连同比邻九龙湾及啟德一併纳入为起动九龙东计划,推动发展成第二个核心商业区。昔日工厦林立的观塘,观塘道以北一带近年主要转型为住宅社区,而南面则慢慢形成工商贸区,该带近年已有不少大型商厦相继建成。

前九巴车厂 料成创纪之城8

观塘未来有4个大型项目将会上马,区内迎来翻天覆地的变化,包括有发展商透过补地价改划土地用途发展。新地 (00016)与载通 (00062) 2016年斥约43亿元为巧明街98号前九巴车厂项目完成补地价,计划投资逾100亿元将项目发展为大型商业项目,地皮去年获批出建筑图则,可获批在12层高的基座商场上,兴建两幢商厦写字楼,总楼面面积约115万平方呎,商场部分被市场视为创纪之城第8期。

区内将会推出3幅大型商业用地,当中以由市建局规划及重建部署接近20年的观塘市中心重建计划项目的规模较大,亦是市建局历来最大型的收购重建项目。首3区住宅部分已批出,共涉约150万平方呎建筑楼面。而第45区用地,市建局拟发展办公室、零售商场及酒店等综合商业用途,涉及楼面面积约209.5万平方呎,去年已正式刊宪加快收回餘下业权,可望让项目加快上马。

观塘行动区 8成楼面建商厦

至于属于起动九龙东重要项目的观塘行动区,政府已落实採用两幢大型商厦发展的方案,将在大型观景平台上兴建,提供约96.2万平方呎楼面,预计近8成即约70.3万平方呎将发展办公室楼面,餘下2成楼面则作零售和餐饮等用途。另一方面,政府计划优化九龙东核心商业区规划,以增建商业及绿化空间,观塘成业街休憩花园将会改划作商业用地,并与茶果岭道商业地合併,令可建商业楼面增加近1倍至逾124万平方呎。

起动九龙东办事处已检讨区内部分土地用途,并建议将现时成业街休憩花园迁至西面的货车停车场,以便将敬业街明渠美化为「翠屏河」,预计休憩花园会由5.12万平方呎增至6.22万平方呎。随着多个项目部署推展,相信可望加快区内的转型步伐,有利推动观塘区未来的发展前景。

信德中心每呎55元高10%

随着疫情稍放缓,带动商厦租金亦逐步回稳,消息指,上环信德中心西翼高层单位以55元租出,月租约13.6万,高市价约10%。 

市场消息指出,上环信德中心(西翼)高层05室,面积约2481方呎,以每呎55元租出,月租约136455元。据区内代理指出,上址望侧海景,未算该甲厦优质单位,该类单位现时市值租金约每呎50元,故是次租金较市价稍高约10%

据土地註册处资料显示,上址原业主于2012年以6636.51万购入,以公司名义卓贸控股有限公司(ULTIMATE VENTURES HOLDINGS LIMITED)持有,註册董事为沉姓人士,以最新租金计,租金回报率约2.47厘。

事实上,自去年年中社会运动萌芽发酵,拖累甲厦市场租金拾级而下,资料显示,该甲厦于今年3月中层海景单位以每呎42租出,低市价约30%,创4年以来新低。但随近期新冠肺炎疫情逐步放缓,甲厦市场气氛稍为回暖,是次每呎55元与早前租赁相比,租金水平明显反弹。

万兆丰中心1103万成交

另一方面,商厦亦录成交。市场消息指出,观塘万兆丰中心低层J2室,面积约1226方呎,以1103.4万成交,呎价约9000元。据土地註册处资料显示,原业主于2013年以809.1万购入,以公司名义光达投资有限公司(GREAT LEADER INVESTMENTS LIMITED),註册董事为李姓及张姓人士,故持货7年帐面获利294.3万,物业期间升值约36%

Mong Kok site's $467m is below expectations

The Lands Department yesterday announced that Bring Bright, a subsidiary of Worth Forever, has won a Mong Kok site at the junction of Soy Street and Shanghai Street on a 50-year land grant at a premium of HK$467.18 million, which was below market expectations.

This came as Wheelock and Company (0020) warned of a net loss for the first three months of about HK$6 billion mainly due to the reduced profitability of its principal businesses and the effect of unrealized revaluation impairment of the group's investment properties, development properties and hotels thus caused.

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate continued to decline yesterday with the one-month Hibor falling to 1.23179 percent, the lowest in nearly a month.

A mortgage broker expects the Hibor to fall below 1 percent.

At least 35 loss-making sales were recorded in the secondary market this month, according to reports. Among these, the son of Malaysian politician Tiong Thai King suffered a HK$4 million loss after selling a 1,170-square-foot luxury flat at Serenade in Tai Hang for HK$34.3 million.

天后金轮新天地 全新银座商厦

炮台山及天后一带近年有不少新商厦及住宅项目落成,带动区内人流。全新落成的银座式商厦金轮新天地,坐落于天后食街,人流畅旺。

天后位处铜锣湾与炮台山之间,港铁站出口近在咫尺,地利位置优越,加上近年区内有多幢新落成的商厦及住宅,中产人士骤增,消费力有保证。由金轮天地发展,位处天后电气道全新银座式商铺大厦,楼高28层,採一梯一伙的设计,每层面积约由2,1803,546平方呎。

物业以玻璃幕墙设计,加上楼底高约3.225米,部分特色楼层楼底更高达5米,感觉开扬光猛。项目周遭物业楼龄较旧,加上楼高较矮,故金轮新天地高层单位可享开扬铜锣湾避风塘景致。

天后站5分鐘步程 餐饮集中地

物业佔尽地理优势,位处电气道与琉璃街交界,离港铁天后站约5分鐘步程。邻近有维多利亚公园,为大型活动举办热门场地。而电气道本身有「天后美食街」之称,业户日常饮食及消閒一应俱全,加上近年项目周遭不少住宅项目相继落成,如维峯浚汇、维港颂等,对零售及餐饮需求庞大。

而且,经由维园前往港岛商业集中地铜锣湾,仅约10分鐘步程,往返的时间相当方便。物业亦比邻天后公共交通运输处,设有多条巴士綫,方便出入,亦可选择採用电车前往港岛各区。

该项目地下及外墙均设有多个夺目的户外广告位,可广收宣传推广之效,整个项目配套齐全,属市场上矜罕大型放盘物业。

3楼全层 获西餐厅租用

日前该厦刚录得首宗租务成交,位于大厦3楼全层,面积2778平方呎,成交呎租约40元,月租逾11万元,新租客为特色西餐厅。

中远大厦低层意向3961

虽然市场观望气氛尚未消退,惟核心区甲厦仍受追捧。上环中远大厦低层单位以意向价3961万放售,呎价约2.95万,租金回报逾两厘水平。

该代理续指出,中远大厦中小型单位放盘叫价每呎逾3万水平,上述放售项目邻近电梯大堂,加上业主仍有议价空间,相信可增加物业竞争力,料推出市场后有力被迅速承接。

新世界放售观塘商厦 全幢市值约30亿元

发展商推盘减慢,为保持收益,于市场推售非核心物业。新世界 (00017) 暗盘放售观塘KOHO全幢,属活化商厦项目,市值约30亿元,该集团早前亦放售上环中远大厦铺位,两物业市值合共约40亿元。

属活化项目 总楼面16万呎

市场消息指,新世界暗盘放售观塘鸿图道KOHO全幢商厦,物业楼高12层,13楼每层面积约2.45万平方呎,412楼每层面积约1.65万平方呎,大厦总楼面逾16万平方呎。项目前身为工厦,上手业主为物业进行活化及改装,外观上与甲厦无异,质素理想。

据了解,目前大厦出租情况理想,包括去年腾讯 (00700) 首个海外眾创空间进驻KOHO,推动文化创意。

据悉,业主以约30亿元于市场放售,按总楼面约16万平方呎计,呎价约18,750元。翻查资料,该项目原为建大工业大厦,鹏里资产于2013年以约10亿元购入并改装,及后于2014年以16亿沽予新世界。

上环中远大厦4 叫价9亿

疫情下发展商减慢推盘步伐,故同时放售非核心物业,以保持收益。

新世界早前放售上环中远大厦商铺,涉及物业地下至3楼,合共4层,每层面积由3,59011,608平方呎不等,合共约27,808平方呎,以及19个车位,叫价约9亿元。

Market focused on secondary home sales

Property agency reported 22 secondary transactions at ten major housing estates over the past weekend, up by 29 percent week-on-week and hitting a two-month high, as Wheelock Properties sold 43 percent of the 101 flats on offer at Ocean Marini in Lohas Park.

Developers will hardly launch any large new projects in the near term as the government has extended the ban on public gatherings, and the market is still focusing on secondary sales, property agent said.

In Quarry Bay, a 1,015-sq-ft flat at Taikoo Shing changed hands for HK$19.68 million, or HK$19,389 per sq ft, after HK$4.12 million was slashed from the initial asking price.

In Hung Hom, a 1,125-sq-ft flat at Laguna Verde fetched HK$25 million, or HK$22,222 per sq ft, after HK$1.8 million was cut from the first asking price.

In Tuen Mun, a 320-sq-ft flat at Wah Lok Mansion sold for HK$3.6 million, or HK$11,250 per sq ft, after HK$200,000 was reduced from the original asking price.

In Tseung Kwan O, a 519-sq-ft flat at The Capitol changed hands for HK$7.5 million, or HK$14,451 per sq ft, after HK$100,000 was cut from the initial asking price.

In the primary market, developers are disposing of unsold flats.

Wheelock Properties sold 43 out of 101 flats on offer at Ocean Marini in Lohas Park as of 5:00 pm on Sunday.

On Saturday, CK Asset (1113) only sold 13 out of 176 flats at Seaside Sonata in Sham Shui Po. Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) sold 12 out of 18 units at St Martin Phase 1 in Tai Po and 12 out of 20 units at Mount Regency Phase 2 in Tuen Mun.

In the rentals market, a 502-sq-ft flat at Central Park Towers in Tin Shui Wai was rented for HK$11,500 per month, or HK$23 per sq ft, after HK$2,500 was cut from the original asking rent.

In Tai Kok Tsui, an 846-sq-ft flat at Harbour Green was rented for HK$30,000 per month, or HK$35.5 per sq ft, after HK$4,000 was slashed from the initial asking rent. And a three-bedroom flat at Island Harbourview was leased for HK$33,980 per month, or HK$43.2 per sq ft, after HK$3,020 was reduced from the first asking rent.

Hong Kong home buyers shun developers’ sales overtures as economic slump deters families from capital commitments

Hong Kong’s weekend home sales flopped for the fourth time in six weeks, in another sign that the residential property industry’s worst slump in a decade has some ways to go before recovering.

CK Asset Holdings sold 11 of the 170 Seaside Sonata flats on offer in Sham Shui Po at 7pm, as buyers shrugged aside the 29 per cent average discount offered by one of Hong Kong’s biggest developers. Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), the city’s biggest builder by market value, sold 12 of 20 Mount Regency II apartments in Tuen Mun, and found buyers for 12 out of 14 units at St Martin in Tai Po.

The sales flop underscores how rising unemployment amid Hong Kong’s first recession in a decade is deterring households from making large financial commitments, adding weight to a property slump that is struggling to find a bottom. Last weekend, one of mainland China’s biggest developers sold a mere 7 per cent of its Emerald Bay flats in Tuen Mun, its maiden Hong Kong project.

“As the unemployment rate is picking up, purchasing sentiment in the mass residential market has been further eroded,” property agent said.

The cold shoulder by homebuyers come even as Hong Kong’s coronavirus outbreak appears to be under control, with new confirmed cases rising by single digits every day. The infectious disease has sickened 1,035 people and claimed four lives in Hong Kong at last count.

The latest batch of Seaside Sonata on offer, measuring between 484 square feet and 736 sq ft (68 square metres), were priced from HK$11.7 million to HK$18.4 million (US$2.37 million), or an average of HK$24,984 per sq ft.

The slump in the primary market of new abodes has also spilled over to the secondary market, where desperate owners are letting go of their property with discounts, and losses in some cases.

An unidentified homeowner sold two houses at the Casa Marina community in Tai Po this week for a combined loss of HK$6.18 million, according to data by property agency, one of the biggest network of agents in Hong Kong. One of them, measuring 1,896 sq ft, was bought in 2015 for HK$23.44 million and recently sold at HK$18.88 million.

Another flat at Meridian Hill in Kowloon Tong that measures 1,542 sq ft changed hands at HK$22.8 million this week, landing the owner with an estimated HK$4.9 million loss after taxes and fees, agents said.

“Some property owners were desperate to cash in by selling their units, so prices continued to be under pressure,” the agent said. “With demand shrinking, the luxury residential market has turned quiet, with low transaction volume” while mass residential prices are expected to be more “volatile” in short term, the agent said.

Declining home prices is also spilling over to lower rental charges. Two out of five homes, or 42.1 per cent, are leasing in Hong Kong for less than HK$15,000 per month, recording the highest proportion below that threshold, used as a rule of thumb for measuring affordability, according to data by another real estate agency.

Recovery in the housing market will take another three to six months after the global coronavirus pandemic subsides, said Ricky Wong, managing director at Wheelock Properties, which will sell 101 flats at its Ocean Marini project in Lohas Park on Sunday.

Government measures to contain the pandemic’s spread, such as closing Hong Kong’s

border with mainland China, putting all visitors under 14 days quarantine and deterring large public gatherings, have dealt the tourism and retail industries a heavy blow, Wong said. Home prices will decline by another 2 to 3 per cent in the next two to three months, he said.

“The pandemic has not fully passed, so the market is still facing some headwinds,” he said. “Even if the pandemic really fades, the housing market cannot rebound immediately. It's like a patient who needs a long time to recover.”

荷李活道酒店减价39.3亿沽

基金3年前购入帐面升值约1

疫情下酒店入住率跌,业主减价放售获财团承接。消息指,基金以约9.3亿元,沽出中环荷李活道Travelodge酒店,涉及148间房。据悉,基金于3年前以8.5亿购入,减价3成后沽货,帐面升值约1成。

市场消息指,中环荷李活道Travelodge酒店近日易手,物业总楼面面积约5.87万平方呎,楼高约24层,提供148个房间,定位介乎34星。

据了解,该酒店早年每晚房价造至约800元,惟疫情下旅客数字大跌,整体酒店入住率极低,按网页显示,目前房价跌至每晚约300元。

平均房价600去年叫价14亿

消息指,业主去年曾放售酒店,叫价约14亿元,惟市况转差,现减价至9.3亿元成交,平均每房价值约600餘万元。

翻查资料,该酒店过去多年曾数度易手,项目前称丽珀酒店,由远东发展(00035)持有,及后转售给帝盛集团,易名为晋逸好莱坞精品酒店,并于2011年以5.15亿元,转售给新加坡基金Alpha2017年,鹏里资产伙拍酒店集团Travelodge,以约8.5亿元购入。按现时9.3亿元易手价计,转手帐面获利约8,000万元,物业升值不足1成。

受疫情影响,财团投资酒店兴趣降,近半年亦少有买卖,对上一宗较大手买卖,为尖沙咀君怡酒店,去年9月以近43亿元成交,买家为中国信达或有关人士。物业总楼面面积约24.33万平方呎,提供约546间房。

深水埗项目地价8770元呎 1年半跌15%

华懋逾9.1亿元首夺市建局

疫情影响地价,华懋以逾9.1亿元首夺深水埗东京街市建局项目,每呎楼面地价8,770元,同区地价1年半下跌约15%

市建局昨公布,深水埗东京街/福荣街项目批予华懋旗下添谊有限公司,属项目出价最高投标者,中标价为9.128亿元,与该项目的发展成本相若。

今次项目位于东京街2438号及福荣街240号至244号,邻近恆大‧睿峰,地盘面积约11,517平方呎,最高可建楼面约104,087平方呎,若以中标价计算,每平方呎楼面地价为8,770元,符合市场预期。

不过,同区对上一幅青山道项目,恒地(00012)201810月以13.6亿元、每呎地价8,565元投得,惟扣除交还的商场楼面,实际每平方呎出售楼面地价约10,280元,因此今次地价在1年半下跌约15%

日后推售呎价约1.95

华懋集团地产业务董事总经理区庆麟表示,今次为华懋首次与市建局合作,项目位处九龙西市中心,地段优越,交通便利。项目三面单边,预期落成后可坐拥开扬景观,计划发展一个提升社区生活环境的可持续发展项目,迎合市民大眾的住屋需求。

若以每平方呎建筑成本约5,000元计算,连地价及10%发水楼面,预计总投资额约14.85亿元,加上利润及8成实用率推算,日后推售实用呎价约1.95万元。参考现时区内新盘家壹(平均呎价2万元)、恆大‧睿峰(平均呎价2.2万),尚都二手呎价2万至2.1万元,相信与现时同区一、二手呎价水平相若。

有测量师指,地价反映发展商担心疫情的趋势和环球经济走下坡的负面情绪,但中标价尚合预期,证明市区民生项目只要规模适中,能吸引各类发展商争夺,相信对本周截标的旺角豉油街地皮有正面影响。

东京街项目最高可建楼面约10.4万平方呎,当中约1.15万平方呎楼面须发展商业用途,整个项目的住宅及商业部分均为发展商持有,而日后卖楼收益达23亿元门槛后,便须向市建局分红,以项目最高楼面计,即售楼的分红门槛每呎近2.21万元。

G2000加快「减磅」10分店求顶租

包括核心区铺田北辰:无生意减租也无

疫情冲击零售,G200010分店求顶租,包括核心区中环、旺角及尖沙咀,以及地区商场铺,G2000主席田北辰指,今次疫情最冲击卖衫,坦言「无生意业主减租也无用」。

盛滙商铺李根兴认为,疫情下基本上大部分行业均受冲击,当中时装是最严重的一大行业,主要原因是本身并非必需品,「如果一些走中至高档路綫的时装,很讲求消费心情,在疫情下市民带口罩,实在没太大心情花在服装上。」

疫症冲击零售业,连锁时装店生意大受影响,需削减分店减省开支。消息指,本地时装品牌G2000,在疫症爆发之前,已有意削减分店,而近期因应生意更大受打击,加快减分店步伐。

目前分店数目30

市场人士透露,该集团近期推出逾10间租用分店铺址,于市场放顶租,个别更位处核心区一綫地段。据悉,集团去年以35万租用中环德辅道新显利大厦地下,面积约900平方呎,租期至明年9月,月租约35万元,品牌现正放顶租。

至于较大的商铺,为尖沙咀弥敦道美丽华广场复式铺位,去年品牌以每月约150万元租用,租期至2022年。另外,位于旺角亚皆老街分店,以及个别商场如尖沙咀中港城、九龙塘又一城等,亦在放顶租之列。据该品牌官方网页显示,香港分店数目约30多间,故是次涉及顶租分店达31

田北辰回应查询时表示,有意放弃旗下个别分店,惟有租约在身,而业主表示要物色新租客才可撤出。被问到会否要求业主减租,他指目前疫情下生意差,即使业主愿减租也无用,除非业主免租。

吉铺多重开不愁没铺

他认为,疫情下卖衫是最受打击行业,反而卖日用品的生意不算差。若没有租客顶租,如无意外租约完结即迁出,失去销售据点,他笑指无所谓,因目前吉铺多,日后要重开,不愁没有铺位,预计若疫情持续,街铺倒闭潮势出现,故建议政府向愿意减租的业主提出减税诱因,减轻商户租金负担。

疫症冲击零售行业,本地时装品牌经营困难,如佐丹奴(00709)早前公布,农历新年期间销情较去年逊色,中、港、澳三地的门市销售较去年下跌约6成。另Bauhaus (00483)公布,由于经营环境出现前所未有的困难,引致访港人数大减及本地消费低迷,决定关闭香港810间录得亏损店铺。

零售及餐饮倒闭情况令人忧虑,商铺市场上,除了吉铺数目多外,亦有不少商户正寻求顶租。据代理资料,近月约140多个商铺涉及商户寻求顶租,明显高于去年,相信若经济环境未如理想下,寻找顶租商户将持续出现,对商铺租金构成压力。

每呎2.58万低10%

追溯永安集团大厦全层成交,包括该厦23楼全层,于2010年,由耀才证券主席叶茂林以1.38亿购入,全层总面积约11062方呎。而该厦对上一宗成交为低层6室,今年3月以4799万易手,面积2070方呎,呎价约23183元。据了解,该厦于一年前呎租普遍高逾70元,最新呎租介乎4550元。

面积约11062方呎

代理表示,尖沙嘴梳士巴利道3星光行中层25室,面积约1241方呎,刚以每呎约26元租出,涉及月租约3.2万餘。单位望楼景为主。资料显示,物业旧呎租约27元,租客于早前迁出后,业主遂将单位推出市场招租,同样以每方呎叫租约27元,準租客甚具诚意,故业主遂调低呎租至约26元租出,较旧租金轻微下调约3.8%。资料指出,该厦对上一宗以呎租26元成交的个案需追溯至20192月,为中层27室,同为楼景单位,面积约889方呎,意味是次成交租金重返2019年初水平。

Excelsior turned-office plan hasn't been approved

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel's plan to turn the Excelsior Hotel site in Causeway Bay into an office building has been rejected by the Town Planning Board, while Chinachem has won its first Urban Renewal Authority site in Sham Shui Po.

The board rejected the Jardine's plan because it said the group could not prove it would not affect transport in the area.

The landmark hotel has been demolished. The site area is about 45,985 square feet. With a 15-times plot ratio, it could be rebuilt as a commercial block of 34 levels. In the approved architectural drawing in 2018, the site can be built as one block of 30 levels.

Meanwhile, Wider Loyal, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chime Corporation, has won the URA's Tonkin Street/Fuk Wing Street project, with an area of about 1,070 square meters, for HK$912.8 million, which was the highest among the tenders received.

Chime Corporation is a subsidiary of Chinachem.

Upon completion, it will provide a maximum gross floor area of 104,087 sq ft. The price per sq ft is HK$8,770.

The market expects the revenue generated from this project to reach HK$230 million.

The URA had invited 36 developers to submit tenders for the project following an expression of interest exercise and received a total of 17 tenders.

Bids are expected today for a residential site at the junction of Soy Street and Shanghai Street in Mongkok. Analysts expects it is worth between HK$500 million and 540 million.

Elsewhere, CK Asset's (1113) application to build 903 units in Yau Tong has been approved while Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has applied to increase the plot ratio for a site in Tuen Mun by six times.

In the secondary market, a potential buyer of a 736-sq-ft unit at The Regent in Tai Po, developed by China Overseas Land and Investment (0688), scrapped the deal worth HK$10.54 million and forfeited a deposit of HK$530,000. Major new projects have seen the transaction of 16 units canceled so far this month. The developer will launch 131 units at The Regent for tender today.

荃湾逾10工厦重建 340万呎工商楼面

位于荃湾的柴湾角工业区旧式工厦林立,受惠于政府推动工厦活化2.0,加快区内重建及转型,区内目前至少10个工厦重建计划,合共提供多逾340万平方呎的工商业楼面供应。

荃湾属于第一代的卫星城市,除了大量住宅发展外,亦发展出柴湾角及大窝口两个工业区,当中位于荃湾西面的柴湾角工业区佔地达117.4万平方呎,在上世纪6070年代以纱厂、纺织厂等轻工业为主,设有南丰纱厂、中央纱厂等大型纱厂。

改划用途增地积比 加快转型

近年政府有见区内具有转型的潜力,故此将整区改划成「其他指定用途(商贸)」,再加上政府推出工厦活化政策2.0后,提供额外2成地积比率,加快区内的工厦重建步伐。目前区内至少有10个工厦重建计划,预计未来能提供约340万平方呎的工商业楼面供应,推动该区转型成为新的商贸区。

理想集团广场 改建新型工厦

除了大型工厦外,区内中小型财团近期亦参与重建,当中理想集团旗下荃湾白田坝街4648号理想集团广场,申请把地积比率上限放宽两成至11.4倍,以便重建为122层高的新型工厦,总楼面面积约8.9万平方呎。

区内近年亦有不少大型重建项目,当中坐落半山街及沙咀道交界的中央纱厂15号厂房,麦格理嘉民亚洲基金在2012年以约9.45亿元购入,该财团及后亦併购比邻的沙咀道工厦,并进行拆卸重建。

当中,中央纱厂1厂部分的5万平方呎地盘,申请重建作「非污染工业发展」,总楼面约57万平方呎,而其餘第25号厂房的原址合共约7万平方呎的地盘,市场估计,发展商之后亦会提出重建申请,若果同样以地积比率11.4倍发展,将可提供接近80万平方呎楼面。

另外,亿京在2017年底亦以约21.6亿元购入荃湾青山公路503515号的永南货仓大厦,该工厦佔地约5.08万平方呎,发展商可补地价后,以地积比率12倍重建成商厦,可建楼面约60.96万平方呎。

至于半山街1820号庆丰印染厂,金朝阳 (00878) 则申请重建成25层高新型工厦,提供约28.5万平方呎楼面,旁边的通利琴行货仓,业主也提出重建成银座式商厦,提供写字楼、食肆及零售商店服务等用途。随着多个大型工厦陆续落实重建,柴湾角工业区的面貌将会焕然一新。

Carmel buyer walks from $1.5m deposit

A prospective buyer of a duplex apartment at The Carmel, Tuen Mun, developed by Wing Tai Properties (0369), forfeited a deposit of HK$1.46 million after canceling the transaction.

The 1,418-square-foot unit sold for HK$29.21 million, or HK$20,599 per sq ft last week, which would have been the highest for the project.

Meanwhile, the developer recorded another forfeit of around HK$336,450 after the buyer of a 450-sq-ft flat at Oma Oma canceled the deal.

Elsewhere, luxury project Grand Homm in Ho Man Tin, under Goldin Group, sold five units by tenders at HK$30,000 per sq ft on average. Separately, a 1,403-sq-ft unit sold for HK$39.34 million, or HK$28,039 per sq ft, the lowest for the project so far. And Ocean Marini in Tseung Kwan O, developed by Wheelock and Company (0020) will launch 101 units this Sunday but will limit visiting groups to three only, to meet the social distance restrictions by the government.

In the secondary market, 97.5 percent of homeowners gained after selling their units in the first quarter, with an average return of 74.5 percent for each deal, the lowest in 15 quarters and 12 quarters, respectively, data from the Land Registry and property agency showed.

Bids for Hong Kong’s land tenders may come in with 20 per cent discounts, foretelling more woes for city’s real estate industry

Three plots of land the Hong Kong government is going to sell through tender could attract bids that are up to 20 per cent below mid-2019 levels, which in turn could determine transaction volume and prices in the world’s most expensive property market, industry consultants said.

A residential plot in Mong Kok, the tender for which closes on Friday, a commercial plot in Kai Tak and residential land on Anderson Road in Kwun Tong, the tenders for which close next month, could see their estimated valuations cut by as much as a fifth by property developers, according to consultants and surveyors.

The coronavirus pandemic, a bleak economic outlook as well as rising unemployment continue to weigh on Hong Kong’s property market. For instance, the prices of used homes have fallen by 6.6 per cent between a peak in May 2019 and February, according to the Rating and Valuation Department.

How the land sales pan out might affect the decision-making of some homeowners, a surveyor said. “Developers are major market players. Their bids will be indicative of the property market and economy in the future, ” the surveyor said.

The bids might affect transactions and market sentiment in the short term, a consultant said. “When land is sold at a high price, [homeowners] might withhold listings in anticipation of higher prices in the future. If the prices are low, there will be more discounts,” the consultant said.

The Consultant cut the valuation of the residential site in Mong Kok by 20 per cent to between HK$480 million (US$61.9 million) and HK$530 million. The site has a gross floor area of up to 50,497 sq ft. The value of the Kai Tak commercial plot was cut by 15 per cent to between HK$6.6 billion and HK$7.7 billion. The site can yield a gross floor area of up to 1.16 million sq ft.

The Anderson Road plot faced the risk of being withdrawn from sale by the government if the bids do not meet its reserve price, Lam said. He cut the plot’s estimated value by 15 per cent to between HK$5.5 billion and HK$6.5 billion. The plot can yield 1.09 million sq ft. More than half of the homes to be built on this site will be sold as starter homes, at 20 per cent below market price. These homes come with rules about layouts and buyers’ income requirements.

Another property consultant meanwhile cut its valuation of the residential plots by 10 per cent. As far as the commercial plot is concerned, it slashed its valuation by more than 20 per cent, saying that Kai Tak was not mature enough to attract developers under the currently depressed economic situation.

Lower bids will send a negative signal to the market, that developers have become more cautious, a director of an advisory and appraisal company said. “Homebuyers will aggressively ask for more discounts from the sellers then.”

Last week, Paul Chan Mo-po, Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary, said the decline in land prices will be faster than a drop in home prices in a depressed economy, and suggested that the government would receive less in land sale revenue this year.

This month, a 470 sq ft flat on Macpherson Place in Mong Kok sold for HK$8 million, at a loss of about HK$2 million including other expenses, according to property agent. The sale came after a plot of land equalling half a basketball court in area sold for HK$85.9 million. At HK$3,512 per square foot, it was about 20 per cent less than the lower end of market expectations and the lowest per sq ft price recorded in urban Hong Kong since 2004.

豫港大厦交通便湾仔优质乙厦

湾仔乙厦多,而豫港大厦交通便利,加上大厦位处单边,物业质素冠绝同区。

湾仔为乙厦集中之地,惟当中不少楼龄旧及欠保养,或地点不便。豫港大厦位于湾仔卢押道及谢斐道交界,位处单边,令大厦观感不错。由湾仔港铁站谢斐道出口步行至该厦约5分鐘,而近轩尼诗道及告士打道分别有巴士、电车站,邻近红磡隧道,来往九龙亦迅速。另大厦亦提供停车场,方便驾车人士。

饮食配套多不乏特色餐厅

饮食配套方面,楼下为骆克道「酒吧街」,有多间餐厅,亦可步行5分鐘至囍帖街商场,有不少特色餐厅,附近亦有多间5星酒店,可作商务午餐。

物业于1985年落成,外形及内部质素均不俗,以玻璃幕墙设计,数年前更进行翻新工程,地下大堂铺云石,配上灯槽及天花射灯,甚为时尚。值得一提,大厦设有一部独立升降机,通往14楼,故对低层用户来说具私隐度。

大厦楼高23层,每层楼面由2,000多至3,000多平方呎。单位实用率约7成,属多角形设计,每层可间两个单位。景观方面,大厦中低层望向周边商厦,而中高层则相对开扬,整体来说,因大厦位处单边,故各单位景观也相对开扬。

12楼全层去年售呎价14755

买卖方面,该厦成交不多,近年最大额买卖,为2014年资本策略(00497)3.2亿元,购大厦1123楼,总面积约3.7万平方呎,成交价3.2亿元,呎价约8,500元,其后业主进行拆售,于2015年全数沽清。

分层成交方面,物业12楼全层,面积约3,592平方呎,去年尾易手,涉资5,300万,平均每呎14,755元。原业主为一家上市公司总部,先后多次将物业按予财务公司,直至近期沽售物业。

乙厦租金低水空置率下跌

整体商厦租务需求下降,甲厦空置率明显上升,相比之下,租金较便宜的乙厦,租务情况相对理想,空置率下跌。

代理数据指出,3月份统计6个港岛核心商业区包括金鐘、铜锣湾、中环、上环、湾仔及黄竹坑,几近全数空置率录得按月升幅,幅度约0.030.64个百分点不等。铜锣湾由2月约6.42%,急速升至最新约7.06%;湾仔区空置率升幅则紧随其后,单月增加0.3个百分点,至约6.97%;而上月已突破6%的金鐘区亦持续上升,增加0.03个百分点至约6.15%

湾仔新银集团中心呎租20十年低

该报告指,部分地区乙厦空置率有下跌迹象,例如甲厦空置率升幅最大的铜锣湾,乙厦空置率跌幅最大,3月录得约3.73%,对比2月减少0.89个百分点。另外,中环乙级商厦空置率亦见下降,由2月约4.5%跌至最新约4.36%。事实上,港岛区内不少乙级商厦质素及配套都不逊于传统甲厦,而且租金相对更具竞争力,吸引中小企转租,可承租楼面亦较以往为大,故相信核心区乙厦将会成为新近企业物色据点之选。

近期乙厦成交上,出现低价成交,如湾仔告士打道新银集团中心低层01室,面积约3,010平方呎,以每月6万元租出,呎租约20元,按此水平计,属该厦近十年最低租金。另同区北海中心中层D室,面积约940平方呎,成交呎租约29元,亦略低于市价。

至于金鐘区,2月份空置率一举升穿6%3月份升幅稍见放缓,但区内个别指标商厦单月空置率升幅却见显著,例如远东金融中心2月份空置率约6.76%,最新升2.25个百分点至约9.01%。同时,该厦平均呎租都大幅下滑,由2月约98元急跌至3月约60元,跌幅约38%。资料显示,现有约18个放租盘,佔大厦约12.33%

力宝中心空置率8.42% 按月微升

另一金鐘指标商厦力宝中心一座最新空置率约8.42%,按月增加0.22个百分点;该厦放租盘源则有43个,佔比约17.13%。而湾仔区方面,会展广场办公大楼空置率都见明显上扬,最新录得约13.1%,按月升幅约0.99个百分点;放租单位则有约19个,佔大厦约8.23%。另英皇集团中心空置率亦由2月约7.03%升至约8.62%

代理分析,经济环境欠佳,企业面临重大挑战,不少面对缩减人手规模甚至结束营运,对写字楼需求无可避免地下降,尤其港岛核心区甲级写字楼租金一向高昂,即使现时减租潮出现,但租金水平仍属偏高,部分企业就退而求其次,加上有不少乙厦质素都见上乘,租金对比传统甲厦更为吸引,成为逆市受惠对象,质素不俗且租金相宜的乙厦预料会受惠,空置率有望平稳甚至下跌。

远东金融中心呎租65元低10%

Commercial property transactions plunge 74pc in Hong Kong

Hong Kong's commercial property transactions plunged by 74 percent from a year ago during the first quarter this year, with investments in offices and retail commercial the most affected by the coronavirus pandemic, according to a commercial real estate consultancy firm.

The news came as an en-bloc building located at 519-521 Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay, was put on sale by a Filipino investment fund with a valuation of HK$1 billion as global firms are looking for opportunities to cash in amid the pandemic.

A commercial property services provider has been appointed as the sole agent for the sale of the building.

The retail market shrank the most among all categories, with first-quarter investment activities declining by 39 percent from a year ago, as governments lock down cities and roll out social distancing restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic, the agent said.

The commercial property investments in the Asia Pacific region fell by 34 percent year-on-year during the first quarter, with investments in the mainland, Hong Kong and Singapore plunging by 60 percent, the agent said.

The institution predicts the trend will continue in the second quarter, but expects commercial transactions to rebound strongly in the second half this year, as investors with abundant capital are still waiting for the right time to enter the market.

佐敦单边铺王「沦陷」罕见丢空逾半年反修例及疫情打击协成行靚铺放长短租

反修例运动加上疫症肆虐,黄金地段率先沦陷。佐敦弥敦道一个单边铺王,过往租约从未停过,惟去年至今却丢空逾半年,业主协成行罕见将铺位放长短租。

佐敦弥敦道192号协成行九龙中心巨铺,佔据柯士甸道大单边,位处红绿灯位置,铺前行人路阔落,斜对面警署「近在咫尺」,治安理应更加好,惟这些优点,令该处在反修例运动时,变成「非常据点」,示威人士群集,冲突打斗不断,商户经常拉闸迴避。

意向月租75万减16%

大约去年9月,该铺租客佐丹奴撤出,有代理指,佐丹奴于201610月进驻,月租约90万,去年10月满约时,碰上政治风暴,只好放弃,铺位丢空至今逾半年,业主协成行罕有地将铺位放短租,意向月租25万,长租每月意向75万,较旧租金减16%

本报向协成行查询该铺放租事宜,发言人回应:「该商铺正在招租,租金依市况有所调整,我们一般不对外公开,然而,本公司相信,租金短期内仍受压,中长期则有望回復接近正常水平。」

高峰时月租240

有代理透露,业主表明短租限于地铺,惟若租客一併承租楼上,租金可商量。「此铺高峰期月收240万,是协成行旗下最贵租铺位!现时,协成行要求短租客企理,谢绝杂乱无章的货摊!」有代理形容。

该铺位见证市况高山低谷,1994年由bossini进驻,月租75万,99年加至89万,维持至2012年,随着自由行蓬勃,铺市急升温,2011年,月租加至约120万。铺市高峰时,20137月由周生生以每月240万抢租。「当年,bossini及周生生一左一右,不断游说业主,一个强调减点租,另一个不断提价!」市场人士笑道。

2014年底佔中后,据悉,于2015年,周生生月租减至200万,仍然在2016年中约满后撤出,同年11月,由佐丹奴以每月90万承租,较旧租金减约55%。该巨铺3层高,地库面积2065方呎、地下1984方呎及11994方呎,总面积约6043方呎。

Evergrande’s Emerald Bay project flops for the second time in two months as buyers stay away amid Hong Kong’s economic slump

China Evergrande suffered its second sales flop in two months as Hong Kong’s homebuyers gave their collective cold shoulder to its Emerald Bay flats in Tuen Mun, even after a 14-per cent average discount.

The Chinese developer managed to find buyers for 18 flats, or a mere 6.7 per cent of the 269 units on offer at 8pm, according to sales agents. A month earlier, Evergrande sold a third of the first batch of Emerald Bay flats during the peak of the city’s coronavirus outbreak.

Since then, Hong Kong’s daily confirmed cases have fallen to single digits for six consecutive days, with two new infections today, bringing the city’s total caseload to 1,023, with four lives lost.

Still, that was not enough to attract buyers, in an economy mired in its first recession in decades. Unemployment is expected to rise in Hong Kong, as the services, hospitality and retail industries bear the brunt of more than two months of stay-at-home lockdowns, as city authorities try to contain the outbreak.

The cool reception underscores the correction that is underway in the world’s most expensive residential property market, a slump that still has some way to go, even after the Hong Kong Monetary Authority slashed its base lending rate by 50 points on March 4 in lockstep with an emergency cut in the cost of money by the US Federal Reserve.

Property investors, currently spoilt for choice amid plunging prices and expectations of more projects in the pipeline, will take their time to return to the market, real estate agent said.

“Buying confidence will gradually return once buyers see that the coronavirus outbreak is under control,” the agent said.

Phase Two of Emerald Bay, with sizes measuring 223 to 314 square feet (29 square metres), were offered at between HK$3.53 million and HK$5.67 million (US$731,500), or HK$16,700 per sq ft on average after the developer kept the discount unchanged at 14 per cent.

The developer made payments easier during today’s sales launch, requiring buyers to put down 5 per cent of the property’s price as an initial deposit, with the remainder payable only when they get their keys to the completed flats, scheduled for completion in August 2021.

The current sales slump is in stark contrast to the sell-out success in October, when Evergrande launched its first real estate project in Hong Kong with a flying start, selling all 167 apartments on offer in a day, out of 1,982 units including 22 villas for the entire project. Buyers were then drawn by the starting price of HK$3.18 million for a 223 sq ft flat after discounts, or HK$14,260 per sq ft, with the developer throwing in sweeteners, such as flexible financing plans, stamp duty discounts and furnishing.

需求弱甲厦租金料反覆向下

疫情下散业权甲厦业主渐减价放租,惟需求仍下跌,料租金中短綫仍反覆向下。

据代理十大商厦成交资料显示,3月份商厦交投持续淡静,十大商厦仅录2宗买卖。两宗买卖成交呎价偏低,金鐘力宝中心2座低层0710室,以约8,390万成交,以楼面面积约3,648平方呎计,呎价约2.3万,低市价近2成,亦重回2017年水平,据悉,原业主为投资者罗守辉,去年10月以7,296万购入上址,故持货仅约半年,帐面获利1,094万,物业升值约15%

星光行呎价 3年新低

另一宗买卖为尖沙咀星光行高层,面积约894平方呎,以约876万元易手,成交呎价约9,800元,为该厦近三年新低。

整体商厦租务气氛一般,该代理数据指出,3月份统计6个港岛核心商业区包括金鐘、铜锣湾、中环、上环、湾仔及黄竹坑,当中除了黄竹坑外,全部甲级商厦空置率都录得按月升幅,幅度约0.030.64个百分点不等。铜锣湾由2月约6.42%,急速升至最新约7.06%;湾仔区空置率升幅则紧随其后,单月增加0.3个百分点,至约6.97%;而上月已突破6%的金鐘区亦持续上升,增加0.03个百分点至约6.15%

力宝中心呎租48低叫价3

代理表示,随着疫情扩散,环球营商气氛转差,不少机构停止扩充,近期亦有个别商户,因经营困难,向商厦业主提出减租,个别获业主同意,租金已有所回调。

该代理指,最近指标商厦租务成交上,租金已有回调,如力宝中心一个低层单位,面积逾3,000平方呎,业主去年中放盘时,每呎叫租约70元,其后一直减价,直至最近以每呎48元租出,减幅达3成,另上环信德中心单位中低层,业主去年以每呎72元招租,近日亦减价逾3成,至约48元租出,反映租金正在调整。

后市预测上,该代理分析,甲厦业主持货力强,放售时不愿大幅降价,寧把单位放租,按目前租务需求向下,业主愿减价招租,故相信疫情尚未过去,租务需求仍疲弱,料中短期内甲厦租金反覆向下。

HK residential rents continue to slide

Rents in Pak Shek Kok are under downward pressure, as the monthly rent of a 1,348-square-foot flat at Providence Bay only costs HK$26,000 or HK$19.3 per sq ft, according to a property agency.

In Tai Po, a 258-sq-ft flat at Solaria was leased for HK$9,000 per month or HK$ 34.9 per sq ft, while in Sha Tin, a two-bedroom flat at City One Shatin was rented for HK$9,800 per month, or HK$32.2 per sq ft, after HK$1,200 was cut from the original asking rent.

Meanwhile, Michael Chan Yue-kwong, former chairman of Cafe de Coral (0341), bought a luxury house at Jade Grove in Tuen Mun for HK$31.88 million from Chinachem Group as a first-time homebuyer.

OCBC Wing Hang Bank expects Hong Kong's property price will fall by 15 percent year-on-year in 2020, with the local economy estimated to shrink 2.1 percent from the year before.

In the commercial property market, a property consultancy expects Grade A office rents to fall by 14 percent year-on-year in 2020.
At the same time, another property agency expects Grade A office buildings to see both rents and selling prices dwindle by 15-20 percent this year.

Rents of Grade A office buildings fell 4.5 percent month-on-month in March, the largest monthly decline since February 2009, agent said.

Meanwhile, another property agency only recorded 48 transactions of industrial, commercial properties and shops in the first half of April, down by around 47 percent month-on-month, with the total consideration falling by around 77 percent to HK$661 million.

HK office rents to slide by 14pc

Property agent expects overall Grade A office rents in Hong Kong to fall by 14 percent in 2020 as economic growth and leasing momentum are projected to slow amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Although scheduled future Grade A office supply is limited, office leasing momentum will remain generally slow this year. Occupiers are becoming more cost conscious, with some opting to downsize and explore cheaper office space, buildings and locations, the agent said.

From a capital market perspective, there is hesitation from institutional investors as Hong Kong investment sales declined 58 percent quarter-on-quarter and 90 percent year-on-year to HK$3.4 billion in the first quarter.

Current market conditions are expected to persist throughout the year when property prices come under pressure across different sectors providing investors with opportunities.

The agent said well-established firms with stable capital flow could look to relocating into a traditionally competitive space in the CBD as growth in vacancy rates and greater rental corrections in 2020 provide more options.

City One Shatin rent falls below $10,000

The monthly rent for a two-room unit at City One Shatin has fallen to less than HK$10,000 - a substantial change of direction for such a property.

The 304-square-foot flat was rented for HK$9,800, or HK$32.2 per sq ft. That was 10 percent lower than the first asking price.

Reflecting the same trend and also plumbing record lows, the government received only HK$3,000 in land premiums in the first quarter, the Land Department revealed.

Department officials registered only two lease modifications in the quarter without any premium figuring.

In the mainland property market, Longfor Group (0960) announced that Charm Talent International, a substantial shareholder controlled by the developer's chairwoman, Wu Yajun, subscribed to 4.2 million shares through a share placement at a price of HK$36.50 on Tuesday. That came as Wu's ex-husband, Cai Kui, the second-largest shareholder in Longfor, was placing 78.3 million shares worth up to HK$2.88 billion. They were priced from HK$35.25 to 36.75 per share.

Charm Talent has thus raised its shareholding in Longfor from 43.9 to 44 percent, while Cai will continue to hold 23.3 percent.

旺角住宅地估值跌15%20%疫情及同区低地价批出

在疫情肆虐下,卖地市场气氛亦受影响,财团出价亦转趋审慎,其中于下周截标的旺角住宅地,除受疫情打击,加上同区住宅地,于本月初以低价批出,业界纷下调估值,幅度介乎15%20%,最新估值约3.5亿至4亿。

旺角豉油街与上海街交界住宅地,将于下周五截标,在疫情持续,以及同区新填地街及上海街住宅地,于月初以低市场估值批出后,业界纷下调估值,相较去年中跌15%20%,估值约3.5亿至4亿,即每方呎楼面呎价约70008000

估值约三亿至四亿

有测量师表示,疫情持续整体经济前景未明,加上同区地皮上月以低价批出,最新下调该地估值约两成。出价方面,料发展商会考虑疫情及整体经济因素等,预计出价亦会较为审慎及保守。

另外,该测量师认为该项目地理位置邻近港铁站,料主打细单位,并以开放式户为主,认为发展风险不高,而且项目投资额不高,料会吸引中小型发展商及财团入标竞逐。

每呎约70008000

由于月初批出的同同住宅地皮,地盘中间被一条后巷分隔两边,可视为两幅蚊型地,直接影响日后楼宇的实用性,认为发展难度非常高,但是次地皮属一整幅,易于发展,容易剪裁,两者难以作直接比较,料估值介乎70008000元,约3.5亿至4亿。

可建楼面约50497

另一测量师表示,整体经济转差,加上同区月初有地皮低价批出,相信会影响发展商对豉油街地皮的出价,并倾向尝试「低价入标」试水温,望以低价捞地。由于该地盘面积相对较大,估计入标财团会以中型发展商为主,部分大型发展商亦会入标,惟出价一定会审慎及保守。

有测量师表示,疫情肆虐下,再加上经济下行、失业率上升等影响,该地估值对比去年中下调约15%,参考同区批出地皮价钱,估计发展商在出价上肯定「保守」,估计仍约有710个发展商入标。

财团出价趋审慎

地盘面积约6733方呎,指定作非工业 (不包括仓库、酒店及加油站用途,而以住宅用途发展,则最高可建楼面面积约50497方呎;另外,中标发展商或财团,须兴建长者邻舍中心和长者日间护理中心。

红磡2酒店拟重建商厦218万呎楼面

新冠肺炎疫情打击旅游酒店业市道,业主另谋其他发展机遇。长实(01113)近年提出将红磡海韵轩、海湾轩拟建成商厦,同系鹤园街工厦亦获批拆楼纸上马,料为区内带来近300万平方呎新商业楼面。

长实近年先后将多个酒店项目提出重建发展,其中红磡海韵轩及海湾轩,为红磡区内两幢酒店及家庭式酒店,共提供3,602间酒店房间,发展商两年前已部署将项目重建。

位于临海地段的红鶯道8号海湾轩,获批则可重建成2幢约15层高的双子式商厦,预计可提供约107.7万平方呎楼面;而邻近港铁红磡站的海韵轩,亦会计划重建2幢约29层高商厦,以及12层高较矮的物业,楼面面积约110.7万平方呎,属区内瞩目的重建发展计划。

康力投资大厦筹备十载改商用

与此同时,筹备逾10年的鹤园街13号康力投资大厦,现时为工厦项目,发展商长实多年前曾多次申请改划为住宅发展项目,惟未获城规会同意,而受惠政府重啟工厦活化措施,便将项目改为申请放宽密度重建成商厦发展,终于获得批准。

长实商业版图可供楼面近300万呎

而发展商早前向屋宇署申请,最近获发出「拆楼纸」,预计即将展开重建计划,若按发展商提出方案,项目将以地积比率近12.8倍发展,兴建成两幢商厦,用作办公室、商店及服务行业等用途,可重建楼面面积约50.9万平方呎。

随着3个项目有望陆续上马,连同同系持有的海滨广场、都会轩等等,相信可望进一步巩固发展商在区内的商业版图,并为该区提供约269万平方呎的商业楼面。

红磡近年亦有其他发展商谋求将旗下物业重建发展,包括中旅持有的中旅协记货仓及物流中心的大型重建项目,邻近港铁红磡站,预计发展成一个综合商业群。其中1仓和2仓部分,会发展成商厦,主要作写字楼用途,涉约78万平方呎。

而集团亦于2018年为中旅货运物流中心 (协记3),以近7亿元完成补地价,将会发展成酒店,涉及楼面约22.9万平方呎,提供酒店、附属设施及零售餐饮等楼面,若落实发展,相信将加快区内转型,并进一步提升区内的商业氛围。

Residence Bel-Air rents now cheaper than Tai Koo Shing

The average rent of a unit with a sea view at luxury project Residence Bel-Air has fallen below HK$40 per square foot a month, according to a property agency, which is even lower than that of benchmark projects in Tai Koo Shing and many major housing estates in the mass market.

The 2,616-square-feet apartment, with two parking spots, was rented for HK$38.2 per sq ft per month, the lowest in four years. A comparable unit was rented out for HK$155,000 per month last October.

A property adviser said the Covid-19 outbreak is hitting the luxury segment harder than the mass market, affecting those with multiple mortgages and/or deals involving mainland vendors, with super-luxury transactions hitting another low in January and February before rebounding in March.

In the primary market, China Evergrande (3333) released the second price list of its Emerald Bay Phase 2 in Tuen Mun, involving 145 units with an average price of HK$16,752 per square foot, 3 percent more expensive than the first batch. The developer will launch the sale of 269 units on Saturday.

Hanison Construction (0896) will also launch two units at West Park, Sham Shui Po, on Saturday. A 339-sq-ft unit was sold for HK$7.85 million, or HK$23,168 per sq ft, the highest for the estate so far.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) will launch the sale of 20 leftover units at its Mount Regency Phase II in Tuen Mun this Saturday.

In the commercial market, veteran investors including David Chan Ping-chi sold the Kabo Burger in Kwai Chung for HK$17 million after cutting 34 percent from the initial asking price, earning only around HK$100,000.

The one-month Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate has fallen for five straight trading days to nearly a one-month low. The mortgage-linked rate slid 3.04 basis points to 1.5963 percent.

Meanwhile, analysts from a mortgage brokerage service company predicted that some local banks may tighten mortgage loan rates or cut discounts, such as cash rebates they previously launched, due to economic uncertainties and risk management amid the coronavirus pandemic.

CK Asset seeks easing of site restrictions

CK Asset (1113) has submitted an application for a relaxation of the plot ratio and height restrictions of two sites at Kwu Tung North to the Town Planning Board in order to develop residential projects that will provide 1,136 residential flats.

The same application was submitted for the land plot and two nearby sites for the construction of over 2,000 units, but approvals have not yet been received.

The two sites are located between Tong Kok and Beas River, and measure approximately 138,000 sq ft and 53,500 sq ft respectively. The group applied to relax the plot ratio 4.2 times to 581,000 sq ft and 225,000 in terms of total gross floor area, resulting in 832 and 304 residential units respectively, as well as one non-residential building on each site.

Li Ka-shing and his son Victor Li Tzar-kuoi have spent HK$83.9 million to increase their stake in CK Hutchison (0001) and CK Asset (1113) over four consecutive trading days.

A company owned by both the younger and elder Lis purchased 1.959 million shares in CK Asset (1113) on April 1, 2, 3 and 6 at an average price of HK$42.3881, HK$42.7875, HK$42.9860 and HK$43.45 per share respectively.

Another company owned by the Lis bought 101,500 shares in CK Hutchison (0001) last Friday at an average price of HK$52.0514 per share.

The two companies allowed investors to take part in e-shareholder meetings.

Meanwhile, Swire Pacific (0019) and Cathay Pacific Airways (0293) will make special arrangement for shareholder meetings. No refreshments will be offered and there will be special seating arrangements to prevent the spreading of the virus.

Sham Shui Po redevelopment attracts 17 bids

The Urban Renewal Authority has received 17 bids for the Tonkin Street/Fuk Wing Street development project in Sham Shui Po.

Henderson Land Development (0012), Chevalier International (0025), Emperor International (0163), Wing Tai Properties (0369), Lai Sun Development (0488), Wheelock and Co (0020), Sino Land (0083), Far East Consortium International (0035) and K&K Property have all submitted tenders.

CHFT Advisory and Appraisal valued the project between HK$9,000 and HK$9,500 per square foot, while other surveyors estimated the project to be worth nearly HK$1 billion.

This came after a non-industrial site in Mongkok was tendered out for only HK$3,658 per buildable sq ft last month, having received just five bids. The land plot at Reclamation Street and Shanghai Street was awarded for only HK$85.9 million, hitting a 16-year low for the district.

Amid a gloomy property market, Wing Tai Properties (0369) named its Tai Lam project at 166 Castle Peak Road Oma by the Sea, offering 517 units.

In secondary sales, a homeowner of a 912-sq-ft unit at Fleur Pavilia in North Point slashed the asking price by HK$1.5 million to HK$26.5 million for the foreclosure sale.

And a 517-sq-ft flat at Telford Garden was sold for HK$6.5 million or HK$12,500 per sq ft, HK$1 million lower than the initial asking price.

Another surveyor said the nine-year-high unemployment rate in the city is putting pressure on local housing prices and it expects home prices to fall by 10-15 percent in 2020.

Bank of America expects primary property prices to drop 15 to 20 percent and secondary property prices to fall 10 to 15 percent this year.

However, Morningstar said with low interest rates in the medium term and confidence in the city's future remaining firm, the property market is unlikely to see a large-scale decline.

Meanwhile, in the commercial property market, real estate agency expects office rents to fall by 13 to 18 percent this year as the overall availability rose to 10 percent in the first quarter, a 10-year high. It also forecasts 1,000 restaurants will shut down.

Bank of America also expects the rent of offices to decrease 10 to 20 percent and the rent for shops to drop 5 to 20 percent in 2020.

首季中环甲厦价跌11.5%

近期市场气氛低迷,代理指出,疫情削弱投资气氛,市场由趁低吸纳投资者主导,今年第一季中环甲厦价格跌幅最大,高达11.5%,至于整体商厦价格跌幅较温和,仅4.1%。  

代理指出,商厦买卖淡静,目前只有趁低吸纳的投资者,留守市场,希望物色逾30%折让的盘源,用家因业务前景不明朗,暂缓投资,卖家叫价与潜在买家心理价位差距扩大,中环一带甲厦叫价每方呎3.5万,买家出价仅2.5万。首季成交不多,价格则迁就买家,卖方需要套现资金才在这淡市出货,惟大部分业主寧愿减租,而不肯减价卖。因此,商厦物业成交量去年第四季下跌,今年1月按月跌36%

业主寧减租不劈价沽

铺市方面,与商厦买家比较,铺位买家要求更多折扣,减价30%50%,然而,只有少数铺主配合。市场上吉铺处处,难于出租,零售销售额及旅客人数急剧下跌,即使铺主大幅减租,仍难以维持出租率。   

今年首季,黄金地段街铺价格按季跌6.5%,并以尖沙嘴及旺角跌幅最显著。代理表示,2014年底铺位租售价见顶回落,出现剧烈调整。社会动盪及疫情打击铺市,同时,网上购物对零售板块造成冲击,多重因素交织下,投资者对前景感迷茫。

黄金地段铺价按季跌6.5%  

该代理指,虽然写字楼及铺位交投于第一季创新低,若调整期持续,将惠及有心执平货的投资者,看到市场仍持续录交投,大手投资市场有望年内逐渐回暖。

Valentino撤出广东道

继上周美国珠宝品牌位处尖沙嘴1881 Heritage的旗舰店低调结业,意大利名牌Valentino昨亦关闭广东道海港城巨铺,显示奢侈品零售市场,受到经济回落的重大冲击。  

该品牌昨日接受本报查询时回应,Valentino位于尖沙嘴广东道725号海港城G115号铺,于202046日租约期满结束营运。该品牌在香港区仍有置地广场、ifc mall、圆方等6家分店。

业界料月租500万  

上址为海港城G115号铺,楼高2层,面积约1万方呎,昨日现场所见,该巨铺已关闭,黄昏时街道亦黯然失色。业内人士指出,该铺位月租约500万,Valentino2014年第三季承租,并于20152月正式开业时,请来艺人刘嘉玲、范冰冰及人气韩星撑场。然而,自从20149月佔中后,铺市风光不再。  

过去9个月,接连而来负面因素影响,疫症肆虐,零售更进入前所未有的寒冬,早前,美国珠宝品牌Tiffany & Co.位于尖沙嘴1881 Heritage的旗舰店,亦低调结业,巨铺面积达3900方呎,早于2009年商场开幕时进驻,属商场首批主要租户之一。业界估计,该铺位高峰期月租逾400万。

铜锣湾商业大厦 合半零售商户

铜锣湾商业大厦地点不错,交通便利,适合作半零售商户,而租售价亦相对低水。

铜锣湾商业大厦位于糖街,邻近轩尼诗道,交通上,由铜锣湾港铁站步行至该厦,需时约510分鐘,而大厦对出的糖街及怡和街,分别有小巴站、巴士站及电车站,四通八达,适合作楼上铺。

值得一提,该厦邻近维园,每逢周日会有大量外籍佣工在此地段集合,较为挤迫。

早年大翻新 大堂质素提升

饮食及生活配套方面,附近有大型商场包括皇室堡,人流充足,消费气氛不俗。

物业于1975年落成,楼高23层,楼龄较旧,而物业早年进行大型翻新,地下大堂质素提升。大厦地下入口及走廊非常宽阔,提供3部升降机,通往各楼层,可疏导人流,为楼上铺重要条件。物业地下为商铺,14楼为铜锣广场商场。

细单位为主 合小型企业用

分层楼面面积约3,387平方呎,大致上分为ABC单位,面积由8292,752平方呎,个别单位间细至500餘平方呎。

大厦以细单位为主,适合小型企业使用,现时租客包括有美容院、旅行社等,亦有不少医务所。景观方面,部分单位望向怡和街一带楼景。

成交方面,大厦呎价过往明显有升幅,如2013年成交呎价不足1万元,约9,000餘元,2016年升至万餘元。近两年整体商厦呎价上升,2018年物业中高层,面积约200餘平方呎,以约345万元成交,由于单位细小,造价高至1.72万元。

今年初大厦仍录两宗买卖,物业12C室,面积约827平方呎,以约1,030万元易手,呎价约12,455元,另11楼单位,面积约1,000平方呎,以约1,588万元易手,呎价约1.58万元。

Price cuts mark noted property deals

A 2,939-square-foot house at 39 Deep Water Bay Road has been bought for HK$170 million - 28 percent less than the asking price - by National Electronics (0213).

The Liu family of the founder of Chong Hing Bank (1111) sold a 1,943 sq ft flat at Po Garden on Brewin Path for HK$62 million.

And the Li family of the Bank of East Asia (0023) sold 21 Po Shan Road for HK$350 million, which was 30 percent lower than the asking price.

Another big deal saw a 2,172 sq ft duplex unit at La Vette sold for HK$64.8 million by tender. This was the second sale of a duplex unit at La Vette within weeks.

Going down the scale, real estate agency said it had not recorded any deal at Tai Koo Shing in the first six days of April and discounts had to be offered to rent out a flat.

So a 1,015 sq ft flat at Tai Koo Shing was rented for HK$41,000 per month - HK$5,000 less than what had been sought originally.

And a 843 sq ft flat at Pacific Palisades was rented for HK$35,000 per month. That was 19 percent lower than the asking rent and was at the level of five years ago.

Another real estate agency expects the number of transactions involving first-hand properties to be maintained at around 2,000 for the second quarter, which is a low level.

Transactions involving second-hand property remain relatively stable, staying at around 7,000-8,000 deals for three consecutive quarters.

The firm also expects developers to suspend open new flat sales and not to launch any new projects in the first half of this month.

东京街项目估值达11亿 吸中小发展商争夺

深水埗长沙湾一带近年加快转型,市建局东京街重建项目明天截标,市场估值介乎9.4亿至11.4亿元。有测量师认为地盘近港铁站,配套成熟且规模适中,相信吸引中小型发展商争夺。

该地盘位于东京街2438号及福荣街240244号,最高可建楼面约10.4万平方呎,可提供约175伙。有测量师指,项目本身位处于东京街、福荣街及元州街交界,距离长沙湾港铁站只有1分鐘步程,对面为发售中的恆大睿峰,受多个楼盘所包围,预计落成后景观主要望楼景,向协和小学一面会相对较开扬。

主打12房户型

项目主要有3个发展限制,包括须发展商业楼面(1.1万平方呎),而住宅单位面积最小300平方呎,逾一半单位不多于480平方呎,基本上不适合作开放式设计,由于同区以12房户型较欢迎,预计未来将主打同类户型单位。而附近商业气氛不算浓厚,但近港铁站,亦为民生住宅区,相信发展民生铺会较受欢迎。

地盘附近配套发展成熟,除近港铁站出口,亦有巴士綫来往港岛新界,旁边有协和小学、英华小学等多间学校,周边有多类民生食肆店铺,也有多个中小型商场,邻近的长沙湾游乐场,有足球场及滚轴溜冰场等,四通八达,应有尽有。

项目卖楼分红门槛约23亿元,即每呎楼面售价约2.2万元起需要分红,该测量师指,因应市况分红比例设有一定折让,相信发展商计数会在利润上作出考虑,不过同区新盘餘货及未来供应多,预计发展商出价将反映有关因素,有机会影响买家购买意慾。

对于日前旺角蚊型地以每呎楼面低于4,000元批出,测量师指是因地皮质素有关,面积小且发展限制复杂,相信属个别情况,参考2018年有两幅市建局地皮批出,如同区恒地 (00012) 青山项目每呎地价约1.1万元,因应现时市况及疫情,估计今次地皮估价每呎楼面约9,0009,500元水平。

观塘兆富呎价9139元沽廖伟麟接手「遗产货」迅速被收购

市场吹淡风,商厦买卖两閒,铺位大幅减价沽货,工厦相对突出,静市中不乏大手买卖,最新一宗为正八集团主席廖伟麟,一接手他父亲留下的观塘兆富工厂大厦遗产物业,即迅速被财团收购,作价8500万,平均呎价9139元,较同区工厦高约50%

上述为观塘伟业街201号兆富工厂大厦3楼全层,面积约9300方呎,以8500万手,该工厦由廖伟麟父亲廖烈正于1981年购入,当年作价336万,持货39年,帐面获利8164万,物业升值24倍。

套现8500

廖伟麟表示,上述全层物业,获买家洽购逾一个月,最终到达他的意向价,由于该厦6层高,具重建价值,他相信买家属发展商。市场资料显示,伟业街工厦呎价遍约4000元,收购价高市价40%50%。该厦近月亦录大手买卖,4楼及5楼于去年8月分别以6000万及7000万易手,面积同样约9300方呎

虽然廖伟麟的父亲廖烈正,早于2003年去世,惟直至近期,才正式办好遗产接收手续,由母亲廖汤慧靄、姐姐廖伟芬及他继承,比例为50%25%25%。他表示,分配遗产后,他可以动用的资金多了1020亿,正好趁这淡市,吼準目标物业。他形容:「沽售上述工厦套现的资金,在未来时间,可以让我『走』很多转。」现时,他认为,物业还有下跌空间,现阶段先买股票及债券,迟一步再买工商铺。

富临三亿买货仓自用

自从反修例运动后,市况步入寒冬,其中,富临集团酒楼生意大受打击,市场盛传集团放售大批物业,物业未见沽售,该集团却出手购工厦。荃湾山德士中心610楼共5层,于去年1211日登记成交,作价3亿,原来,买家为富临集团,作为自用货仓,代理指,涉总楼面积6.8万方呎,平均呎价约4422元。

原业主于2005年以4318.1万购入,持货15年,帐面获利约2.56亿,相当可观。 富临现时亦高调放售葵涌工厦,蓝田街29号富临中心全幢,楼面面积约36,131方呎,交吉,意向价2.9亿元。该厦佔地约5000方呎,地积比约9.5倍,可重建楼面约47500方呎,已获批商店及服务用途。由于可见,富临集团当日购入,投资多于自用,于20184月以1.75亿购入。

湾仔变天 太古商厦重建获批则

相连太古广场3 连区内项目涉200万呎楼

湾仔北将迎来大变天,太古地产 (01972) 持有的湾仔永豪阁及永丰大厦,获批则合併进太古广场3期,可重建成23层高商厦,连同区内多个重建项目,料涉及逾200万平方呎楼面,推动转型步伐。

太古地产发言人表示,今次获屋宇署批则,让永丰街商厦重建计划得以延续2012年的规划许可,而此用地现时翻新为STAR STUDIOS,现阶段并没有作出重建的计划安排。

据屋宇署资料显示,今年1月份共批出14份建筑图则,包括4项住宅及商住项目,以及5个商业项目。当中较为瞩目是太古地产就皇后大道东1号、永丰街810号、12号至18号的永豪阁和永丰大厦,获批准兴建成商厦,涉及总楼面面积约11万平方呎。

现翻新为服务式住宅

事实上,永丰街的永豪阁和永丰大厦,发展商太古地产早年已经完成收购,并于多年前获城规会批准重建成一幢与太古广场3期 (皇后大道东1号) 相连的商厦,不过重建计划多年来未落实,而太古亦将两厦翻新成为服务式住宅STAR STUDIOS

由于原先的商厦重建规划许可在今年1月到期时,未获城规会批准进一步延长,所以发展商两手準备,成功赶在1月份获屋宇署批出建筑图则,现时方案是兴建123层高的商厦,连两层地库,估计设计上将保留与太古广场3期相连。发展商方面回应,目前暂时仍处于筹备阶段,暂未有具体重建时间表。

太古广场3期现时设有多类时尚店铺与特色餐饮,内设有空调的行人隧道连接同系太古广场和港铁金鐘站,前往湾仔商业区一带亦十分便捷。

而项目比邻的永丰街2131(单号) 商住项目,发展商计划于今年推售,涉及36伙,户型包括14房,相信同系商场、商厦及住宅的综合发展组合,将有利提升协同效应,加快推动湾仔星街小区发展。

太古多年来逐步在湾仔建立起庞大的商业王国版图,除由前域多利兵房重建成的旗舰项目太古广场12期,而前年亦就皇后大道东的宝华大厦、比邻的晏顿街212号、兰杜街111号完成收购,去年底亦批准重建成128层高商厦,涉及21.5万平方呎楼面,拟设行人天桥连接同系轩尼诗道28号商厦,将两个基座连接共用电梯大堂,相信今次项目有机会亦採用此模式设计。

另外,同区亦有多个重建项目陆续上马,较积极的尚有发展商合和,近年先后重建合和中心2期、皇后大道东153167号,以及船街南固台及妙镜台等的重建项目,3个项目将提供约134万平方呎商业及住宅楼面。

而轩尼诗道175177号项目,亦获准兴建成125层高商厦,楼面涉约2.7万平方呎,估计未来多达逾200万平方呎新楼面供应。

疫症损营商气氛 甲厦低价租务涌现

疫情持续,甲厦租务甚为淡静,散业权甲厦业主减价放租,多幢大厦即录低价成交,租金料持续向下。

港岛区散业权甲厦,以中环皇后大道中9号金鐘力宝中心、上环信德中心及湾仔会展广场办公大楼等,较具指标参考价值,而近期多幢指标商厦买卖淡静,租务活动相对较多,而租金明显下跌。

中环指标甲厦皇后大道中9号近日录租务成交,物业06室,面积2,269平方呎,以月租13.05万元获承接,呎租57.5元。据悉,该单位2015年曾以呎租58元租出,换言之租金重回5年前水平。翻查资料,该厦单位为高层06室,面积2,930平方呎,以每月30万元租出,呎租逾100元。

湾仔会展广场办公大楼 呎租463年低

中环美国银行中心高层05室,面积约2,637平方呎,以每月约11万元租出,呎租约42元。单位原本呎租约63元,租客去年9月迁出后交吉,最终以每呎42元租出,与对上租约比较,租金跌33%。若按成交呎租计算,为该厦近10年新低。另同厦高层0708室,面积约3,857平方呎,以每月约18.1万元租出,呎租约47元。业主原叫价每呎近80元,如今减价约4成租出。

另湾仔会展广场办公大楼高层全层,面积9,392方平呎,以43.2万元获承租,呎租仅46元,呎租为3年新低。

力宝中心极高层 每呎44元租出

金鐘方面,指标商厦力宝中心2座极高层0508室,面积约3,224平方呎,成交呎租约44元,属3年低位。该厦2座合共提供不少细单位,故买卖及租务亦是金鐘指标。同区另一较具指标为海富中心,租金亦向下,物业中层1室,面积约6,135平方呎,以每月约24.5万元租出,呎租约40元,单位享海景。呎租为该厦4年新低。

分析指,疫情蔓延至全球,环球营商环境甚差,商厦租务需求降低,而核心区商厦空置率上升,散业权业主降租吸客,租金明显下跌。由于环球疫情未受控,租务市场难望有明显改变,预计第二季租金仍会调整。

甲厦租金按季跌5.2%金融海啸以来最差

近期商厦租金跌势急,根据一间代理行指出,整体甲厦租金连跌三季,最新按季跌5.2%,为09年金融危机以来表现最差,预计第二季进一步放缓,中资公司及共享办公室需求减。

该代理行指出,整体租金于今年第一季度按季跌5.2%,属2009年第二季以来最差的季度表现,跌幅更高于上两个季度的总和,其中,湾仔、铜锣湾及中环3个地区跌幅最大,幅度6.2%,其次九龙西跌幅5.1%,及尖沙嘴跌幅4.7%

共享办公室需求减

代理表示,疫情在全球蔓延,旅行限制以及股市下跌,削弱写字楼租赁需求,导致第一季度租金大跌。

基于中环与所有商业区间存在80%租金差距,企业普遍迁往非核心地区,以削减成本,因此迁离中环的趋势仍在继续。九龙核心地区公司亦迁往非核心地区,并缩小规模。

然而,电子商务及网上购物行业有望扩张,受去年中开始的示威动盪及近期疫情影响,消费者依赖网上购物及外卖服务,这些业务有更多写字楼租赁需求,包括购物、补习社及社交媒体服务企业。

料年内租金跌约20%

今年第一季度,本港写字楼空置率由去年12月的4.65%,涉及实用面积274万方呎,急升至今年3月的5.22%,涉及实用面积308万方呎。港岛东为1.6%,仍是空置率最低地区,中环及湾仔空置率由3.8%升至4.6%,铜锣湾由4.6%升至5.3%

由于股市跌,公司推迟上市计画,零售和酒店业受到重创,该代理行预计甲厦整体租金年内跌约20%

据悉,该铺早前由东方表行承租多年,早年零售高峰期时,铺租高达240万元,至2015年尾,当时零售渐转弱,有传品牌搬迁,最终仍以约200万元续租,直至去年迁出。据了解,当时正值市况转弱,太子珠宝曾以每月约160万预租,惟社会事件后市况转差,及后暂缓扩充,业主再重新放租。近月疫症出现,零售受重创,业主再降低租金招租,结果获惊安之殿堂以120万租用,租金跌约4成,较高峰期更跌约一半。

地理优势吸上班一族

新租客惊安之殿堂近期表现积极,一年前租用美丽华广场地库铺位,作本港首间店铺,其后步伐未有放慢,租用荃湾海之恋5万呎巨铺,因楼面够大,设有美食广场,两分店现已开业。去年尾,品牌预租铜锣湾明珠广场铺,现进行装修。即使疫症出现,该超市逆市扩充,租用将军澳铺址,连同最新中环分店,本港合共5分店。中环分店地理优势料可吸引一眾中环上班一族,及半山居民前往消费。

中环皇后大道中为传统消费旺段,惟去年社会事件加上现时疫情严重,主要零售商开业兴趣欠奉,地段吉铺上升。据了解,中环皇后大道中目前至少有8个吉铺,如大道中41号商厦,地下连阁楼及地库,面积达4,450平方呎,曾由童装店逾百万租用,如今交吉待租,另外,同地段亦有两幢商厦新落成,商铺部分待租。

由于目前零售处于困境,各大名牌已叫停扩充,核心区一綫地段缺乏承接力,料今年主要地段如中环皇后大道中、铜锣湾罗素街等,铺租再面临下调压力。

旺角蚊型地每呎3512元地价重返16年前鹏程8590万购入力压四财团

新冠肺炎疫情严峻,亦为楼市增添阴霾,上周截标的旺角新填地街及上海街「蚊型地」,招标结果昨揭盅,由主要从事建筑及基建行业的鹏程亚洲公司,以8590万力压其餘4家财团夺标,每方呎楼面地价仅3512元,更创2004年后、近16年市区地新低纪录。业界人士指,地盘被一条后巷分隔两边,令发展欠缺弹性,料建筑费约4000元,估计总投资额约在2亿水平。

在一连串利淡因素下,旺角新填地街及上海街蚊型地,仍吸引5家财团竞逐。地政总署昨日公佈招标结果,由鹏程亚洲公司以8590万夺地,属低市场估值约15%,据悉该公司属首次投得政府用地。至于入标发展商包括信和、宝庭重建伙拍顺裕资产管理与合组财团。

低市场估值下限15%

事实上,以该地商住用途可建楼面约24462方呎计,每方呎楼面地价仅3512元,属2004年华懋以10.1亿、投得的九龙城沙浦道地皮(发展项目豪门),当时每方呎楼面地价约2961元,换言之,是次地价创自2004年后、近16年来市区地新低纪录。

投得地皮的鹏程亚洲公司,前身为敏达控股公司,主要从事建筑及基建行业,另外,亦于香港及新加坡从事买卖建筑机械及备件、租赁建筑机械以及提供建筑机械维修及保养服务。

据资料显示,地盘面积合共约2717方呎,地皮中间被后巷分隔成两边,并细分AB地盘两部分,最高可建约892011464方呎,合共涉及约24462方呎,属指定作非工业(不包括仓库、酒店及加油站)用途。

有代理表示,在疫情肆虐下,再加上经济下行、失业率上升,卖地条款的复杂性等因素,令发展商却步及在出价上有大折让。

04年九龙城地呎价2961

该地皮以「超低价」成交,低于预期,反映小型发展商较担心后市,尤其蚊型地发展风险大,边际利润低。指该地属个别例子,如之后其他大型地皮低价成交或流标,即代表大部份发展商对后市有担忧。

代理续指,估计以兴建300450方呎单位为主,以吸纳上车及小家庭客源。地盘面积细,发展相对困难,加上周围环境以楼景为主,料建筑费约4000元,估计总投资额约2亿。

业界料投资额约两亿

另一代理表示,该地盘中间被一条后巷分隔两边,可视为两个「超蚊型」地,令发展欠缺弹性,直接影响日后楼宇的实用率,认为发展难度非常高,加上受疫情影响下,影响发展商出价。估计两地块只能分别作低层及中层式发展,将无法用尽地积比。

再者这两条街的商铺价值亦不高,影响发展商出价意欲,因而以低价投地。

现时旺角区楼龄较新的项目,呎价普遍在1.8万至1.9万水平,其中SKYPARK二手成交呎价约18900元,而区内的逸新虽然未有二手成交,惟近期成交呎价普遍约18300元。

湾仔会展广场办公大楼高层1室,面积约9392方呎,以每呎46元租出,创该厦3年新低,代理指,该单位对正电梯,坐拥海景,质素不俗。

金鐘力宝中心2座高层0508室,面积约3224方呎,以每呎44元租出,属近三年新低。代理指出,该单位对正电梯,望高等法院楼景。

商厦明年供应 大增2.7

明年商厦供应达到315万平方呎,按年大增2.7倍,创2008年后新高,当中九龙城及东区合共佔6成,料最主要来自利福 (01212) 啟德商业地。

根据差估署公布《2020香港物业报告》初步数据,去年私人写字楼的落成量287万平方呎,按年增加49%,亦是2008年以来的历史高位。截至去年底,写字楼整体空置率微升至9%

啟德新发展区 451万呎商业楼面

啟德为市区大型新发展区,随政府过去4年积极推出啟德商地,其中3幅已顺利批出,连同下月截标的2A区用地,预计可为区内提供逾451万平方呎楼面,当中首项啟德双子塔式建筑商场项目预计最快2022年落成。

双子塔商用地 最快2022年落成

政府在2011年起先后推出多幅啟德住宅用地,当中近北停机坪、啟德站的6幅住宅地已发展成全新住宅项目,提供逾万人居住。因应人口增加对商业及零售娱乐的需求俱增下,政府在4年前亦开始推出区内商业用地,目前已批出3幅地皮,预计共提供逾451万平方呎楼面,发展设计各具特色。

其中首幅批出的1E2号双子塔商用地皮,由利福国际 (01212) 2016年斥近74亿元投得,每平方呎楼面地价6,733元,发展商计划会发展成为SOGO购物商厦,涉及可建楼面约109.7万平方呎,最快于2022年落成。

南丰地王 建摩天商厦傲视维港

另一幅邻近啟德站的1F2号商地,南丰在翌年以约246亿元投得,曾一度为本港最贵的「地王」,每呎楼面地价近1.29万元,可建楼面达191.2万平方呎。由于建筑物高限水平高达主水平基準以上200米,发展商计划兴建2幢建筑物,其中主大楼将建成楼高47层摩天商厦,预计高层楼面未来可傲视维港景,同时亦计划提供70万平方呎零售楼面及设小量酒店楼面,势成该区的地标式综合商用建筑物,估计会于20242025年落成。

政府除锐意将啟德区打造成商住社区,也有意将规划成兼融体育运动及旅游发展综合发展区,投放约319亿元在前机场北停机坪西部兴建佔地约28.2公顷的啟德体育园,将为全港最大型运动场地,并由新世界 (00017) 及新创建 (00659) 合作投得未来25年的设计、兴建及营运合约,在去年已正式动工,预计于2023年落成。

旁边的承啟道商业地皮,由远东发展 (00035) 在去年以逾24亿元投得,可建楼面34.4万平方呎,发展商计划地皮设计发展上会融入运动元素,并将地皮一半楼面发展1幢写字楼,另一半楼面则发展1幢酒店及附属设施,预计可提供约440间酒店房间,有利日后啟育园举办大型赛事的选手及人员等入住,比邻也会设有公共休憩公园。

另外,屯马綫第一期经已通车,啟德第2A4号、5B号及10号地盘将于下月8日截标,预计最高可建楼面约116万平方呎,部分楼面要作社福设施,市场估值约93亿至139亿元。随着多幅啟德商地发展上马,相信区内商业氛围将逐步成形。

首季工商铺录605宗买卖差过「沙士」「海啸」「加辣」「社运」逆境十七年新低

紧接去年反修例运动,新冠肺炎疫情蔓延全球,严重打击工商铺市场,根据代理最新统计,今年首季暂录约605宗工商铺买卖,宗数属于过去十七年新低,差过「沙士」「海啸」「加辣」及「社运」逆境时期,比较去年第四季低处未算低,最新再跌22%

代理表示,市场负面因素不停,继去年反修例运动后,今年疫症爆发,重创经济,该行数据指出,今年首季暂录约605宗工商铺成交,涉资约102.57亿,对比去年第四季的成交量783宗,金额153.98亿,分别再跌22%33%

金额102亿按季跌33%

代理又指,今年宗数创历来十七年按季新低,2003年沙士、2008年金融海啸、2013年工商铺加辣及去年反修例运动的任何疫境,去年第四季录最低买卖宗数约783宗,至于沙士第二季市况虽差,惟都有1155宗,远较今年第一季多。

代理预期,消费力将在疫症爆发,估计为56月期间,料次季工商铺成交升至约770宗,价格跌1030%,租售宗数料升10%,整体租金料跌10%,核心区达约15%

另一代理表示,首季截至330日,共录约129宗商铺买卖,金额约31.77亿,按年跌约37%49%;对比去年第四季减少约42%33%。去年按月宗数减少,今年1月更急降,首三个月单月仅录约3040余宗,旺角、尖沙嘴、中环及铜锣湾今年首季买卖按年跌逾50%,铜锣湾今季暂录约2宗成交,按年跌50%,反映买家看淡核心区铺市。

该代理续表示,首季暂约764宗铺位租务,涉金额约8005万,对比去年同期跌约34%45%,按季宗数升约4%。事实上,铺位租赁自去年第四季起,跌穿1000宗水平,短期内难有升势。由去年9月份起,每月铺位租务维持于200余宗。随著零售及食肆掀倒闭潮,料第二季核心区铺租跌约15%,非核心区料跌约10%。他预计第二季成交价续跌30%,由于价格下调,成交量有望微升。

首季商厦买卖84

代理表示,首季写字楼暂录约84宗成交,涉资约13.86亿,按年跌约6%91%,同时按季减少约31%68%,宗数跌穿100宗水平,创过去20年以来按季新低。首三个月单月宗数介乎2030宗水平,3月暂录约30宗,平均呎价约12674元。今季暂录约1055宗租赁,金额约1.35亿,按年分别跌约24%25%

多幢甲厦录低价承租,中环美国银行中心高层05室,面积约2637方呎,成交呎租约42元,为大厦6年来新低,金鐘海富中心1座中层01室,面积约6135方呎,以每呎约40元租出,创4年新低。上环信德中心西翼中层10室,面积约1402方呎,成交呎租约42元,重返6年前水平。他预料第二季商厦租金跌约10%,呎价跌约10%,成交宗数或回升。

代理表示,今年首季暂录约392宗工厦成交,金额约56.94亿,按年跌约47%49%,按季分别约9%8%。期间,第一集团斥资约14.3亿连购长沙湾两个全幢工厦。3月份录约145余宗买卖,较过去两个月为高。第一季暂录约2297宗租赁,涉资约5244万,宗数上升12%,对比上一季度宗数增幅达25%
