信和集团今年两写字楼项目落成，集团现先推出黄竹坑 Landmark South 甲厦招租，呎租约30餘元；而下半年将推出元朗One North项目，两项目合共提供约80万呎楼面。集团认为今年市场整体商厦供应多，具特色的商厦仍有需求，而集团整体商厦出租率约9成。

信和集团及帝国合作发展的黄竹坑业勤街39号全新甲厦项目 Landmark South，预计今年第2季落成，楼高31层，总楼面达256,957平方呎，包括16层甲厦、3层零售空间及艺术展览厅，另提供佔地9,000平方呎空中花园。艺术发展局将于此开设一个约5,000平方呎的多用途艺术展览，另项目最顶两层29及30楼，享特高楼底，项目可望今年8月入伙。

黄竹坑甲厦 已录成交

信和集团资产管理董事蔡碧林表示，Landmark South 现进行招租，单位面积约1,497至1.4万平方呎，呎租约30餘元。她指因疫情关係，招租工作及睇楼活动最近才开始，暂时反应不俗，已获室内设计、私募基金等机构视察，并已录得数宗细单位成交。项目卖点上，她表示项目邻近港铁站，而黄竹坑本身与中环仅数站之距，租金差幅大，亦邻近南区，地点甚理想。

集团对上一次新写字楼项目落成已为2008年，而今年更有两幢甲厦推出，位于元朗One North，为集团在2015年以16.9亿元投得，邻近港铁朗屏站，涉及2座楼高14层商厦，写字楼面积约44.5万平方呎，另商场零售面积约11.3万平方呎，合共总楼面面积55.8万平方呎。

元朗One North 料第三季招租

蔡碧林指，该项目位处元朗，有北部都会区概念，可招揽创科等商户，亦合半零售商户，预计第三季招租。

信和今年两项目共有80万平方呎楼面推出，而今明两年整体商厦供应量高，蔡碧林认为，无疑市场供应多，惟具特色商厦仍有一定需求，而集团两项目分布南区及北区，具有独特性。

市况方面，疫情下不少机构採在家工作策略，租客对商厦需求或有变，她则认为，很多生意仍需面对面倾谈，在家工作执行上亦有其他困难，故实体办公室重要性不减。她指，集团旗下写字楼整体出租率约9成，与第5波疫情前相若，租客在疫情下无意搬迁，故出租率仍稳定，租金方面，现时租金水平与高峰期比较，仍低约1成以上。

租务市场将转好 租金企稳

整体商厦租金稳定， 有代理行预计，随着租务需求上升，租务市场将转好，租金亦企稳。

据本港一间外资代理行每月商厦租金走势数据，中环超甲厦呎租约134.6元，按月微升0.2%，而整体中环呎租约114元，按月微跌0.2%，按年则升约0.8%，反映租金相对稳定。另外，其他商业区亦相对平稳，跌幅较大为鰂鱼涌，按月跌约2.7%，现呎租约51元。

中环有数幢甲级写字楼在3月底录得双位数空置率，但中环整体空置率维持在7.2%水平，表现较非核心商业区好，边綫区如金鐘及湾仔区，空置率分别达8.4%及11.2%，

IWG租全幢商厦 港岛最大手

租务上，该行指，3月港岛租务成交，主要为细单位，面积6,000平方呎以上单位，获金融及律师行等租用；较大手为金融机构租用中环怡和大厦3.1万平方呎楼面，另律师楼租用中环花园道3号。

港岛区最大手租务，为IWG集团租用湾仔皇后大道东8号全幢 (8QRE)，开设Spaces办公中心，而8QRE Spaces预计于2022年7月开幕。该集团指，该中心将提供超过900个办公位置及70间私人办公室，同时预留5层空间作企业专属套间。除了服务式办公室，其中两层更将改造为「商务俱乐部」。业内人士预计，是次成交呎租料约45元，该厦总楼面约8万平方呎，原由忠利保险租用。据悉，2019年共享空间品牌WeWork亦曾预租该厦全幢，惟最终取消，如今由IWG接手。

另外，中环中心连录成交，物业中低层全层，面积约2.5万平方呎，成交呎租仅约40元。新租客为一家英资软件公司，原租用同厦极高层单位，呎租约75至80元，如今于同厦进行搬迁，主因可节省一半租金。另外，物业高层单位约2,856平方呎，以每呎约70元租出，月租约20万元，上址旧租金每呎约105元，租金跌约33%。

九龙写字楼租金 末季将回升

九龙区方面，大手租务为观塘绿景NEO大厦中层两层楼面，合共近5万平方呎，成交呎租约30元。新租客为手机配件连锁店CASETiFY，该品牌原租用同区工厦天星中心，涉及约1万平方呎，如今大幅扩充至约5万平方呎，属近期罕有扩充个案。

该行指，随着员工重返办公室工作，更多租户重新考虑搬迁等计划，令3月份的写字楼租赁活动水平反弹。该行指，由于疫情缓和，预计未来数月租务活动增加，而九龙区方面，该行料写字楼租金将在未来几个季度保持触底反弹的趋势，并在今年最后一季略有回升，故租金年底将有1至3%的整体增长。

鰂鱼涌海裕街地皮放售 可建40万呎

「去中环化」下，不少企业搬至港岛东，区内商厦项目受重视，现太平协和旗下鰂鱼涌海裕街临海地皮，由接管人委託测量师行进行放售，可重建成40万平方呎商业楼面。

作酒店和办公室用途

有外资代理行表示，获接管人委託，招标出售鰂鱼涌海裕街内地段第8590号餘段及内地段第8723号餘段，项目截标日期为2022年7月7日 (星期四) 中午12时正。

项目原由太平协和持有，去年3月获通过有关原址换地申请，拟换地后的地盘面积或可达91,838平方呎，经补地价后，或可提供建筑面积约400,000平方呎楼面，兴建5幢34米至41米 (主水平基準以上) 的低矮建筑物，作为酒店和办公室用途，平台设4.1万平方呎的观景平台。

据市场人士估计，地皮市值约40亿元，每呎楼面地价约1万元，而日后转作商厦用途需补地价。

Property market on the upswing as Covid wanes

Hong Kong's property market has regained its momentum with both primary and secondary markets performing well over the past few days amid the waning fifth Covid wave in the city.

All 388 homes at The Grand Mayfair I in Yuen Long on offer in the first round of sales sold out last Friday, and the remaining 327 units will be put on the market tomorrow, said the developers.

These homes were over 12 times oversubscribed after attracting more than 4,300 checks, they said.

On offer are 103 one-bedroom flats, 173 with two bedrooms, and 51 with three bedrooms, which are priced from HK$6.45 million to HK$14.91 million after discounts.

The 715-flat project is phase 1A of a 2,200-flat mega development that is being jointly developed by Sino Land (0083), K Wah International (0173) and China Overseas Land and Investment (0688).

The prices of phase 1B, which provides 805 flats, will be announced soon after the Wednesday sales, the developers said.

In Tai Kok Tsui, The Quinn Square Mile recorded at least 51 transactions as of Sunday, said the developer Henderson Land Development (0012), which cashed in nearly HK$330 million from the sales.

In Kai Tak, Henderson's project The Henley II kicks off sales of 98 homes today, including 92 on price lists and six by tenders.

The builder said it has collected over 350 checks for the 92 units on the lists, meaning the flats were more than 2.7 times oversubscribed.

Meanwhile, 10 defaulted flats at Sea to Sky, or phase eight of Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O will be put up for sale again this Friday, said the developers CK Asset (1113) and MTR Corporation (0066).

The completed units, ranging from 468 square feet to 1,054 sq ft, are available for viewing, they said.

In the secondary market, a total of 21 deals were recorded in the 10 major housing estates over the weekend, the same as last week, and above the 20-mark for the seventh week in a row, according to property agency.

Property agent said that the secondary transactions did not decline despite the sales of new projects, reflecting that buyers still have strong interests in the property market.

The agent expects that there will be around 1,500 first-hand deals this month and the overall real estate prices will bounce back as well.

‘The worst is over’ for Hong Kong’s shops segment, with rents and prices to recover on better consumer sentiment

Hong Kong’s shop market can expect a V-shaped rebound in transaction volume and prices in the second half, says Bridgeway CEO Lee

Prime street shop rents have continued to fall since the social unrest in mid-2019, taking the cumulative decline in value to 75 per cent from 2013

Hong Kong’s shop market is likely to see a V-shaped rebound this year as the easing of social distancing measures following the fifth wave of coronavirus outbreak in the city puts consumer spending back on track.

Shop rents could increase by up to 10 per cent in residential areas and by as much as 20 per cent in core areas, said Edwin Lee, founder and CEO of Bridgeway Prime Shop Fund Management.

“The worst for the shop market is over,” said Lee. “I expect that as the pandemic subsides, and with [subsequent] border reopening at home, there will be a V-shaped rebound in the sales volume and transaction prices [of shops] in the second half of the year.”

The prices of shops will increase by 5 to 10 per cent in residential areas and by 10 to 15 per cent in prime areas, he forecasts.

Prime street shop rents weakened 5 per cent in the first quarter this year, adding to a three-year slump. They tumbled by one-third in 2019 in the wake of the social unrest, followed by another 23.4 per cent in 2020 and 4.3 per cent in 2021 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a property agency.

Overall, they have crashed by around 75 per cent since the first quarter of 2013, when the Individual Visit Scheme drew the most number of mainland travellers to the city.

Lee’s optimism is shared by other market insiders.

“Rents in traditional tourist areas will definitely increase by 10 to 20 per cent, as most of the shops in prime areas have seen rents fall by as much as 70 per cent from their highs,” a surveyor said.

On the other hand, the surveyor said that the rent increases in residential neighbourhoods will be sluggish, as unlike core areas where rents slumped during the pandemic, they moved higher in the same time span.

Meanwhile, the city recorded 288 shop transactions in the first three months this year, the lowest since 248 deals in the second quarter of 2020, according to Land Registry data. The value fell to HK$7.58 billion (US$966 million), the least since the first quarter of 2021.

“Even if there is a sixth wave, [prices] will not drop greatly [as] buyers feel they can bet on it, considering the [low] prices now,” a property agent said, adding that selling prices will be largely flat moving forward.

Russell Street, once the world’s most expensive retail strip, has recently seen a few short-term tenancies of face-mask shops. These retailers sometimes land a bargain, paying as little as HK$80,000 per month, which is about 15 to 25 per cent of peak rents seen in 2013.

With consumers unleashing “revenge spending” in the market, Bridgeway last month found a tenant for its street-level shop in Sheung Wan, who paid significantly higher than the previous client, Lee said.

The company signed a five-year lease for the 2,300-sq ft shop, with a fixed monthly rent of HK$130,000 for the first two years versus HK$100,000 previously, he added. The rate will increase to HK$143,000 per month thereafter.

市建盛德街项目已收逾九成单位

为协助公务员建屋合作社 (下称合作社) 解决重建难的问题，市区重建局 (下称市建局) 于2020年5月以试点形式啟动土瓜湾区两个合作社项目重建计划，其中盛德街/马头涌道重建项目 (下称盛德街项目) 去年8月开始收购，至今年4月底已有逾九成业主接纳收购。市建局亦透露，已就西湾河一带合作社向业主进行意见调查，绝大部分业主期望其楼宇可作重建。

韦志成：支援散社令收购顺利

前述两个合作社项目，其中盛德街项目涉及约155个业权，预计日后可重建约640个私人住宅单位。市建局行政总监韦志成于网誌中指出，该项目推展进度较顺利，地盘内9个合作社中，有8个在市建局开展项目前已经解散；餘下1个涉及12伙的合作社，在市建局顾问团队支援下，只需约一年完成整个解散合作社 (散社) 和取回业权的程序，较以往社员自行处理散社所需的时间，缩短约18个月。

该项目仅有约9个业权因为业主离世后之继承手续等较复杂的问题，尚未成功收购；其餘逾140个业权，市建局早前已向业主发放现金补偿和特惠津贴。韦志成说，部分业主已陆续在九龙城、沙田、元朗等地区购买单位，另有43名业主选择市建局提供的重置单位认购方案，有9人于上周一 (4月25日) 成功购入市建局位于九龙东啟德焕然壹居的楼换楼单位，部分则拟购买日后原址兴建的新盘内的楼换楼单位，43人中有约一半则拟选购香港房屋协会正于啟德兴建的专用安置屋邨内所提供的资助出售房屋。

至于规模较大的土瓜湾靠背垄道项目，现存有约460个单位，市建局预计日后可提供约950个公营房屋单位和逾1500个私人住宅单位。韦志成称，该项目约四成单位尚未解散相关合作社，令市建局是否在此情况下提交予政府展开收地程序存在一定未知数和难度，市建局将继续以最大努力协助靠背垄道项目社员散社。

西湾河多数旧楼业主盼重建

此外，韦志成透露，市建局去年底向西湾河一带的业主进行首个「市区更新需求先导调查」(更新需求调查)，了解业主是否希望其楼宇重建或进行復修等，当中涵盖该区一些合作社项目。初步资料显示，有近八成已散社和逾九成未散社的合作社社员希望其楼宇可重建。

韦志成表示，由土瓜湾两个试点项目可见，散社是推展合作社重建项目的关键，该局会总结试点项目的经验，并深入研究西湾河更新需求调查有关合作社楼宇社员意见所得的啟示，以规划并向政府建议日后处理其他合作社项目的方向。

Price-sensitive buyers snap up 51 units at The Quinn Square Mile in Tai Kok Tsui, netting HK$330 million for Henderson

Young buyers snap up 51 units out of 138 on offer at The Quinn Square Mile, Henderson Land says

Sunday’s launch follows an eventful week of new launches as pent up demand resurfaces after Covid restrictions

Henderson Land Development sold 51 units out of 138 on offer at the residential project The Quinn Square Mile in Tai Kok Tsui on Sunday, according to the developer, as price-sensitive buyers snapped up small-sized flats amid a pickup in new project launches from developers over the past week.

Most of the units sold by 6pm were one-bedroom flats and studios, according to property agents, with the majority of buyers being end users younger than 30 years old. Agents expected about 60 per cent of all available units to be sold by the end of the day, the second of the three-day Labour Day weekend.

“Many buyers remain optimistic about the property market outlook, as there is a strong pent up demand from buyers standing on the sidelines in the first quarter and fourth quarter of last year,” property agent said.

The sale of the Henderson Land project followed an eventful week of launches from developers, which saw new orders from buyers every day of the week. This is in sharp contrast to the preceding three-month lull in sales as social distancing measures linked to the city’s fifth wave of Covid-19 caused developers to delay new project launches.

Ahead of the sale, The Quinn Square Mile received 900 registrations from interested buyers, meaning about 7 interested buyers were going after each of the 138 units on offer, according to local media.

The batch released today, which accounts for about a fifth of the total 614 units in the project, also featured two-bedroom flats, with the biggest flat measuring up to 382 sq ft. The first-batch units were earmarked for sale at an average launch price of HK$23,928 per square foot after discounts offered by the developer.

That is about 1 per cent lower than units at Soyo, another tiny flat development in Mong Kok from Chun Wo Development Holdings. The launch price for those units last December was an average of HK$24,179 per square foot.

The Quinn Square Mile sales have so far netted HK$330 million for Henderson Land, according to Mark Hahn, the general manager of sales.

The resurgence in interest has also come ahead of more rate hikes in store for the rest of this year, which could increase buyers’ mortgage repayments down the line.

The US Federal Reserve is widely expected to raise the Fed funds rate by half a percentage point this month, as US inflation rose at the fastest pace in 40 years. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority would likely mirror the hike in its base lending rate due to Hong Kong’s currency peg to the US dollar, adding upwards pressure to mortgage payments linked to interbank rates.

Some potential buyers may be prompted to buy ahead of further rate hikes, which banks typically respond to with higher income requirements for mortgage applicants, agents said. That might have fuelled sales at The Grand Mayfair I in Yuen Long, which was developed by Sino Land, K Wah International and China Overseas Land and Investment. All 388 flats on offer sold out on Friday.

Sales of new homes are likely to hit 1,200 units in April, according to another property agent. That would make it the busiest month since December, when 1,493 units were sold, according to Land Registry data. Sales could rise further to a 10-month high of 2,000 in May, the agent predicted.

疫情缓和后，中环甲厦租务略增。置地旗下中环约克大厦3层楼面，获国际律师行租用作扩充。

同区扩充 呎租约90餘元

国际律师行White & Case租用中环约克大厦3层，总楼面约2.5万平方呎，新办公室已于4月底啟用。据悉，该律师行原租用同区中汇大厦，是次搬迁属扩充业务。市场人士预计，是次呎租约90餘元。

White & Case为国际律师事务所，在全球31个国家共设有45个办事处；据悉，该公司曾租用置地旗下写字楼。White & Case香港办事处管理合伙人文宇轩表示，很高兴重返置地中环物业组合，为不断扩展的团队及业务提供更大发展空间。置地指，截至去年尾，律师事务所租户在置地中环物业组合整体租户基础中，佔比增至31%，租用面积超过126万平方呎。现时整个「大中环区」内，近3/4大型律师事务所均为置地中环物业组合的租户。

九龙区租务方面，有代理表示，九龙湾宏光道1号亿京中心A座29楼A室，面积约4,492平方呎，月租约13万元，呎租约29元。

啟德多焦点商业项目 势成第二CBD

近年啟德区成为新盘供应重镇，同时有大量商用项目发展，包括写字楼、商场及酒店等。随着各项基建及社区设施相继落成，以及交通基建网络趋完善，啟德有望成为香港第二个核心商业区。

AIRSIDE 料今年末季开幕

啟德全新地标 AIRSIDE 为一个190万平方呎混合商业用地，由南丰集团于2017年投得，以逾246亿元创下当时土地投标纪录，项目楼高47层，当中逾30层为甲级写字楼，面积合共120万平方呎，坐拥无敌维港海景，更是首个连接啟德港铁站和地下购物街的大型商场，购物空间达70万平方呎。

项目总投资金额预计高达320亿元，于今年第4季正式开幕。

另外，两大日式百货公司，SOGO 啟德旗舰店及 AEON 啟德店，都会先后进驻啟德区。当中 SOGO 崇光百货将以双子塔形式呈现，建筑工程亦已进入直路，明年将正式落成开幕，区内住客的生活和消閒选择一应俱全，当区楼价有望再升值。而 AEON 则将于啟德体育园内开设 AEON STYLE 新店，合约期9年，同样预计于明年开业。

值得留意的是，位于车站广场下的地下购物街将会连接九龙城、新蒲岗、啟德站及宋皇臺站，预计全长达1,500米，比日本心斋桥地下街长1倍，将成为东九龙又一个新地标。

流标重推 华懋夺东涌57区商业地

随政府积极发展东涌东新填海区，填海区将会新增多达逾940万平方呎商业楼面供应，当中该带首幅用地东涌第57区商业地已经重推，并由华懋投得，计划发展数据中心及办公室等，涉及多达126万平方呎商业楼面。

早于2020年首度推出，并曾「流标」的东涌第57区商业地属于新填海区首幅推出的私人发展用地，位于东涌市地段第45号、迎东邨东面。地皮早在2020年10月招标时，只截收3份标书，但最终因投标金额未达政府底价而「流标」。不过发展局早前已将地皮再纳入卖地表，并已于上季推出。值得留意的是，政府重推地皮前已调整招标条款，包括加入容许发展数据中心、调整零售楼面等。

而是次重推后，地皮共接获5份标书，较首推时多出2份，并最终由华懋以约27.78亿元夺得地皮，即每平方呎楼面地价约2,202元，成交价贴近市场估值下限。华懋表示，计划在该地皮兴建商场、办公室及数据中心。地皮佔地约13.3万平方呎，规划为「商业 (1)」用途地带，以地积比率约9.5倍发展，预计提供逾126万平方呎商业楼面。

修订招标条款 增数据中心用途

事实上，地皮于2020年首次招标时，当时卖地章程规定，项目逾9成楼面或114.6万平方呎须作办公室用途，餘下约11.5万平方呎或1成则作商场用途。鑑于疫情打击商业气氛，所以其办公室楼面比例过高被市场视为「流标」的主因之一。而是次修订卖地条款后，除了可迎合近年数据中心庞大的市场需求，亦让发展商设计时有更大弹性。

东涌站第1期 6成为办公室楼面

东涌是一个以住宅发展为主的新市镇，而随东涌东新填海区发展，填海土地将供应多达6.2万伙公私营房屋，其中港铁旗下东涌东站第1期项目，比邻迎东邨，将会以地积比率8.8倍作综合发展用途，提供住宅、办公室及零售设施、公共交通交滙处等，料可提供约1,500伙，而该用地已经纳入本财年卖地表。

按政府规划，上述填海区除了提供住宅，还会兴建大量商业设施，涉及多达944万平方呎，计划建构地区商业中心，当中将以办公室楼面主导，佔总楼面近6成，涉538.2万平方呎楼面。同时，新填海区将会供应多达352万平方呎的零售楼面，及约53.8万平方呎作为酒店用途。

(经济日报)

入标价差距大 发展潜力现分歧

虽然政府重推东涌第57区商业地前已调整招标条款，增加发展弹性，避免再度流标，但参考地政总署上周公布的发展商入标价，可见发展商对该地皮的发展前景及潜力存有极大分歧。

地皮3月底共截收5份标书，除中标的华懋外，还有嘉华 (00173) 、建灝，长实 (01113) 及信置 (00083) 入标。据资料显示，撇除中标价27.78亿元，其餘4份标书所出的标价介乎6,300万至18亿元，即每平方呎楼面地价约50至1,427元，可见中标价与次标价18亿元已经大幅相差约54%，而最低标价更只录6,300万元，呎价仅约50元，属于极低水平，意味中标价较最低标价足足高出27.15亿元或逾43倍。

New York law firm White & Case opens 3 floors at Hongkong Land’s York House as tenants cherry pick from Central’s office market slump

White & Case opened a 25,000-square foot (2,300 square metres) office across three floors late last month in York House, part of Hongkong Land’s Landmark complex

The lease marked the firm’s return as a Hongkong Land tenant, after spending 15 years down Queens Road Central at Central Development Limited ’s Central Tower

Office tenants are tiptoeing back to Hong Kong’s Central district, picking up choice commercial real estate space in what used to be the world’s costliest urban centre at more affordable prices amid a resurgent Covid-19 pandemic.

White & Case, a New York-headquartered law firm with 45 offices across 31 markets, opened a 25,000-square foot (2,300 square metres) office across three floors late last month in York House, leased for an undisclosed price at Hongkong Land’s Landmark commercial complex in Central.

The lease marked the law firm’s return as a Hongkong Land tenant, after spending 15 years further down Queen’s Road Central at Central Development Limited’s Central Tower. Before moving to Central Tower in 2007, White & Case occupied 17,000 sq ft of space at Gloucester Tower, one of the three office buildings in the Landmark complex.

“We are pleased to return to the Hongkong Land Central portfolio as we make room for our expanding team and future growth, [where] we look forward to continuing our focus on excellence and serving our clients as we deepen our expertise and presence in the market,” said Eugene Man, the executive partner at White & Case’s Hong Kong office. “York House will provide our employees and clients with unparalleled access to corporate and market leaders in one of the world’s leading international financial hubs.”

Office rent has plunged by 27 per cent from its peak in late 2021 in Hong Kong, according to Morgan Stanley’s estimate. Prices are likely to remain soft as 4.6 million sq ft of new grade A office supply are likely to be added to Hong Kong this year, the second-highest annual addition since 6.8 million sq ft were added in 1998.

Central’s office rental charges, still among the highest in the world, dipped by 0.1 per cent in March from February, according to a property agency. Overall office rents across the city fared worse, with a 0.2 per cent drop in the same month.

Still, the return by White & Case as a Landmark tenant was “not a sweetheart deal,” said Hongkong Land’s director Neil Anderson.

“White & Case chose to return to the Hongkong Land Central portfolio to make room for their expanding team and future growth and support their talent retention efforts,” he said. “York House is not a cheaper location. White & Case wanted to improve their workplace environment and saw the move as a flight to quality.”

The vacancy rate in Central dipped to 7.3 per cent in March, compared with 8 per cent in December 2021, according to data provided by the agency. City authorities have begun to gradually relax some of the social-distancing rules that were enforced in January to keep the highly transmissible Omicron variant of Covid-19 in check.

The gradual improvement in the take-up rate of empty offices is sustainable in the coming months as social distancing rules are further relaxed, and more employees return to work from their offices, a property agent said.

“Market momentum and activities are likely to improve in the second half as the government gradually relaxes the social-distancing rules from April 21 onwards,” the agent said. “Transactions will become more active in the second half, given the recovery cycle for the sector has been largely delayed by the Omicron strain of the coronavirus.”

Institutional investors are also likely to be more aggressive as they seek opportunities in Hong Kong, property agent said.

“In fact, 68 per cent of the first-quarter investment transaction [value] in Hong Kong were by institutional investors,” the agent said. “Most of the key investors [who] have their teams and presence in Hong Kong, [they] may have delayed their site inspection or decision-making process, but with the Omicron wave gradually stabilising, the investment market will become active again.”

Chicago-based Heitman joins global funds to tap Hong Kong’s growing demand for cold-storage facilities

Heitman plans to convert a 100,000 sq ft industrial building in Fanling into a cold-storage facility within the next 12 months

Global investment funds have spent HK$2.3 billion to acquire three cold-storage assets in Hong Kong over the past year

Global real estate funds are tapping growing demand for cold-storage facilities in Hong Kong as the tough social distancing rules and work from home arrangements amid the pandemic accelerates online sales of groceries.

Chicago-headquartered Heitman, with over US$50 billion in assets under management, is the latest entrant into the sector, acquiring a 100,000 sq ft industrial building in Fanling for an undisclosed price.

The fund will commence a fit-out of the property to repurpose the asset into a cold-storage facility.

“We expect demand for specialised en-bloc facilities to continue to grow on the back of close to full occupancy of cold-storage space currently across Hong Kong,” said Brad Fu, head of Asia-Pacific acquisitions at Heitman, which has been investing in Hong Kong’s traditional industrial and office properties since it set up an office here in 2012.

The facility is 100 per cent pre-let to end users even before the completion of the renovation work, which is likely to take around 12 months, Fu said. He added that the tenants include high-end fresh and frozen food operators, but declined to name them.

“Demand growth for cold-storage space has remained resilient as the online sale of groceries in the city has multiplied in recent years, while consumption of fresh and frozen foods has also continued to increase,” said Fu.

While imports of frozen food in terms of weight into Hong Kong grew at 11 per cent from 2016 to 2020 annually, cold-storage space by gross floor area saw a mere 4 per cent growth over the same period, according to the latest figures from a property agency.

Cold storage also enjoys a rental premium of about 20 per cent to 25 per cent above traditional warehouses, which rent for between HK$10 and HK$16 per square foot per month.

In recent years, cold storage has emerged as a sought-after subsector in Hong Kong’s industrial market, with investment funds typically showing huge interest, according to a report by the agency. International funds have bought three cold-storage assets since last year for a total of HK$2.3 billion.

New York-headquartered Angelo Gordon paid HK$1.43 billion for the 291,697 sq ft Kai Bo Group Centre in March last year.

The deal came one month after Australian property group Goodman bought the 103,746 sq ft Seapower Industrial Centre for HK$520 million, and Singapore-headquartered SilkRoad Property Partners paid HK$321 million for Smile Centre, a 97,751 sq ft cold-storage building.

Kwai Chung stands out as one of the most promising sub-markets, accounting for 44 per cent of the licensed cold-storage space that is well connected via the highway network, the agency’s report said.

Total cold-storage investment in Asia-Pacific reached US$2 billion in 2020, growing at an average annual rate of 21 per cent since 2011.

Sales kick off for The Henley II in Kai Tak

At least 12 of the 98 units on offer at The Henley II in Kai Tak were said to be sold after sales kicked off yesterday.

The developer Henderson Land Development (0012) said it has received 440 cheques for the 92 flats on the price lists, making the batch four times oversubscribed, and had sold four out of the six flats via tender.

The four homes sold by tender had areas of 888 square feet each and buyers forked out between HK$30.2 million and HK$34.5 million - or between HK$34,000 per sq ft and HK$38,851 per sq ft - for the flats.

A property agent said that property prices in Kai Tak will benefit from the opening of the East Rail Line cross-harbor extension, though the effect on The Henley II sales may be limited.

In Yuen Long, The Grand Mayfair I was nearly 22 times oversubscribed with 7,393 checks for the 327 flats on sale today.

On offer are 103 one-bedroom flats, 173 with two bedrooms, and 51 with three bedrooms, which are priced from HK$6.45 million to HK$14.91 million after discounts.

The 715-flat project is being jointly developed by Sino Land (0083), K Wah International (0173), and China Overseas Land and Investment (0688).

Also in the same area, CK Asset (1113) has unveiled a new batch of 23 duplex flats at #Lyos, with prices starting from HK$13.82 million after discounts, or from HK$17,668 per sq ft.

The sales will kick off on Saturday and another eight special units will be sold by tender, said the developer.

All the 290 standard flats on price lists were sold last year and together with the duplex flats sold earlier, CK Asset has cashed in HK$1.85 billion from the project.

As developers speed up the pace of launching new projects, the agent expects the total number of first-hand transactions to be above 2,500 this month, which could be an 18-month high.

The market watcher said that the upcoming interest rate hikes may only have a temporary psychological impact on buyers and that buying properties is still a tool to offset currency depreciation amid inflation pressure.

Meanwhile, real estate consultancy said the high level of expected supply in the primary market will likely prompt developers to take on competitive pricing strategies, which in turn will exert pressure on the secondary market. Combined with the factor of increasing interest rates, housing prices will be under pressure this year, it added.

受疫情等因素打击，甲厦租金跌势未止。消息指，由外号「小巴大王」马亚木持有的中环中心中层单位，以每呎约80元续租，较旧租金下跌约15%。

「小巴大王」马亚木持有

据地产代理指出，上址由资深投资者，外号「小巴大王」马亚木持有，本报于昨日向马亚木儿子马桥生作出查询，惟未获回覆。

另一方面，据本港一间代理行综合土地註册处资料显示，工商铺4月份註册量录374宗 (主要反映3月份市况)，按月上升约4.5%，註册金额则录47.39亿，按月升约4.9%。该行认为，随着第二阶段社交距离措施将于5月放宽，第五波疫情的阴霾逐渐消退，预料后市将平稳发展。

该行代理表示，今年以来受疫情影响，随著第五波疫情放缓，情况稍有改善。第二阶段社交距离限制措施将于今起放宽，预料后市交投将会逐步恢復活跃。

投资者开始放眼零售及酒店物业

有外资代理行回顾本年首季物业投资市场表现时指出，在本港第五波疫情下物业投资市场转静，各类物业的交投均有减少；然而，少数重要成交仍反映投资者继续垂青回报稳健的物业，有望为第二季市况带来转机。

受疫情影响，加上其他地缘政治因素、股市波动及加息周期开始等亦对投资市场表现带来冲击。

若论整体市场在首季录得的整幢/持有大部分业权的成交，从成交总额的佔比来看，工业物业成交额佔总金额的50%，零售/商场及酒店亦分佔30%及17%。

投资者方面，私募股权房地产基金在总成交金额的佔比高达56%，本地资金亦佔上44%，两者成为首季市场的主导者。事实上，私募股权房地产基金自2020年以来在本港物业市场上的投资额达到419亿元，其对工业物业更是情有独钟，在该类物业的投资佔比自2020年的15%急增至2021年的61%。

该行代理表示，虽然首季投资市场非常沉寂，但投资者最近已逐渐放眼于零售及酒店物业，这从近期机构投资者及基金等开始购入整幢酒店及住宅/地块的成交可见。就零售物业前景而论，新一期消费券发放，加上疫情趋缓，社交距离措施有所放宽后，有助促进零售区的人流，为铺租带来重要的支持；假如疫情进一步减退，通关有望，则酒店物业的前景将会更为看好。上述因素促使部分投资者掌握先机，趁物业价格已有较大回调时尽早入市。预期第二季开始随着市场气氛改善，市面的盘源将会增加。

该行另一代理指出，近年投资者的工业物业成交趋势亦出现变化，从以往的成交多为发展商购入地皮兴建新式工厦作为自用，到近年基金等投资者大手进行工业买卖，为分层工厦及仓库的价格带来支持。工业物业市场去年出现一轮炽热成交，成交宗数几乎是2020年的三倍，以致盘源极速被吸纳，而本年首季市场遇冷，投资宗数亦按季大跌33%，至570宗，当中仅有两宗为整幢物业成交。不过，由于疫情下电子商贸的需求有增无减，导致物流物业的需求仍然稳固，未受最近一轮疫情影响，因此投资者仍然继续积极寻找工业物业投资机会，特别是呎价较小、回报率达3厘或以上的物业最受青睞。

该行另一代理称，本港豪宅市场在首季开局不俗，频录大手成交，包括大潭道45号的5号洋房以4.538亿元售出；另一幅位于浅水湾的罕有政府住宅地皮以招标方式售出，以每方呎楼面地价62355元刷新纪录，成为呎价地王。可惜的是，本港第五波疫情爆发，加上俄乌战事及加息周期等外围因素，给楼市的良好势头浇了一盘冷水，令市场活动骤减；然而，随着疫情逐步缓和，近期成交以特色项目为主，价格亦逐渐迈向第五波疫情前的水平，预料来季投资者及基金等对豪宅及地块的兴趣将会持续。

邓成波家族再放售30物业

「铺王」邓成波离世快将一年，其家族成员继续积极出售资产。近日市场流传一张由邓氏家族成员持有的物业清单，包括住宅、工厦、商铺等物业，清单附有物业的最新叫价及状况，共30项，综合计算，整批叫价共逾70亿元。本报就上述资料向邓成波儿子邓耀昇旗下陞域集团查询，发言人称不回应。

叫价共逾70亿 蔚盈轩全幢减价一成

据代理消息，该家族部分物业售价略有调整，如九龙城蔚盈轩全幢，去年放售价约20亿元，近日减价至约18亿元，减幅一成。若以总楼面66,428方呎计，呎价约2.7万元水平。据悉物业每月租金收入约200万元，若以最新叫价出售，买家可获租金回报约1.3厘。

另观塘开源道50号利宝时中心地下1及2号铺，面积约2076方呎，放售价亦由去年1.2亿元下调15%至最新的1.02亿元，呎价约4.91万元。事实上，自邓成波离世后，该家族接连出售所持物业，如上月就以1150万元售出尖沙嘴北京道永乐大楼地下1A号铺，该家族早于2008年以1000万元购入，持货14年，帐面仅获利150万元或15%。

佳明相关人士7400万购宏创方两层连车位

另外，近日市场有不少投资者入市工商物业，资料显示，大角嘴必发道128号新式工厦宏创方地下停车场连1楼及2楼全层，上月初以7400万元售出，买家以恩柏投资有限公司 (YAN PAK INVESTMENTS LIMITED)，董事包括刘志华、刘凯恩等，其中刘志华为佳明 (1271) 执行董事及行政总裁，而恩柏投资註册地址同为佳明位于尖沙嘴漆咸道南39号铁路大厦总部。上述物业包括11个私家车位、5个轻型货车位及两个电单车位，另1楼及2楼建筑面积共约10,627方呎，连1468方呎平台，呎价约6963元。

不过，亦有投资者趁机沽货，资料显示，西环卑路乍街139号金堂大厦地下A铺，面积约700方呎，连约400方呎阁楼，总面积约1100方呎，上月以3700万元售出，呎价约3.36万元。原业主为环亚拍卖董事总经理区蕴聪等人，2018年透过买壳形式购入，当时有传购入价约3300万元，持货约4年，帐面获利约400万元或12%。

Island South Grade-A project launched

Sino Group and Empire Group have commenced leasing their latest Grade-A commercial project in Wong Chuk Hang Landmark South, fetching an average monthly rent of about HK$30 per square foot.

Boasting a total area of 256,957 square feet, the 30-storey office-cum-retail complex will be officially opened in the third quarter. Bella Chhoa Peck-lim, director of asset management of Sino Group, revealed that some design and architecture firms, as well as galleries have shown keen interest in the project.

Despite the trend of hybrid working mode, Albert Yiu Chi-wai, executive director of Empire Group, expects the rent in the area to be stable unlike Central, which was once hard hit by the pandemic, due to its relatively low rent and the completion of more residential and commercial projects as well as the Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong that will draw more people to the district.   

The site was acquired for HK$2.53 billion, or HK$8,872 psf, based on a gross floor area of 284,945 square feet, and the developers are required to accommodate the Hong Kong Arts Development Council in the premises as a part of the government’s Invigorating Island South initiative.

The Grand Mayfair I nearly sold out

The Grand Mayfair I in Yuen Long is nearly sold out within a week of its launch.

At least 322 of the 327 flats available in the second round of sales launched yesterday were purchased, with developers raking in over HK$3 billion in just one day.

The flats were nearly 22 times oversubscribed before the sales, with prices ranging from HK$6.45 million to HK$14.91 million after discounts.

Together with the sales last Friday, 710 of the 715 homes in the project have been sold over the past six days, with the developers cashing in more than HK$6.6 billion in contracted sales.

The project is phase 1A of a 2,200-flat mega development that is being jointly developed by Sino Land (0083), K Wah International (0173), and China Overseas Land and Investment (0688).

Prices of phase 1B, The Grand Mayfair II with 805 flats, will be announced soon.

In Tai Kok Tsui, 18 more homes at The Quinn Square Mile will be put on the market today, and another five on Saturday, said the Henderson Land Development (0012).

Several special units will also be tendered soon, and it has recorded a contracted sales of HK$368 million from the project after selling 57 flats, Henderson said.

In Ngau Tau Kok, sales of 40 units at The Aperture will be relaunched on Sunday, the developer Hang Lung Properties (0101) said.

The Grand Mayfair I project in Yuen Long enjoys strong sales as discounts attract first-time buyers

The project, developed by Sino Land, K Wah International and China Overseas Land and Investment, found buyers for 322 of the 327 flats on offer on Wednesday

Analysts predict a surge in supply, as more cut-price projects are launched in the coming months, will suppress house prices

Almost all available units at The Grand Mayfair I in Yuen Long were sold on Wednesday as buyers continue to snap up projects launched after a three-month lull caused by the fifth wave of Covid-19.

The project, developed by Sino Land, K Wah International and China Overseas Land and Investment, found buyers for 322 of the 327 flats on offer, a company spokeswoman said. It was the second round of sales after the project at Kam Sheung Road Station sold all 388 units on offer last Friday.

“The pandemic has subsided significantly, and social distancing measures have been gradually relaxed, which is good for the property market,” a property agent said. “Developers are taking advantage of the situation to push forward developments at full speed.”

Sales are likely to have been boosted by the relatively cheap prices, as developers seek to make up for lost time by shifting as many units as possible.

Prices started at HK$6.45 million (US$821,784) for a 339 square-foot flat.

The average price this time worked out at HK$18,777 per square foot, after a discount of 16 per cent. That was about 1 per cent higher than the first round, but still 12 per cent lower than the prevailing secondary market price of HK$21,400 per sq ft seen at Ocean Pride in Tsuen Wan West, according to data from a property agency.

the agent said that the relatively low prices helped boost sales as “the unit prices are suitable for first-time buyers.”

The project fetched 7,393 registrations of intent, which meant about 23 people competed for each unit.

The first batch of 388 flats sold out in one day last Friday, pushing up the first-hand sales volume in April to about 1,030, which surpassed the total for the first quarter of the year, the agent said.

Another property agency expects the overall number of property transactions in May to climb to a five-month high of some 7,000.

Hong Kong developers have already launched hundreds of flats at knock-down prices in a bid to make up for lost time as the city began to emerge from months of strict social-distancing measures that made house sales all-but impossible.

Analysts predict a surge in supply, as more cut-price projects are launched in the coming months, will suppress house prices.

Another agency expects that this year’s mass home prices to drop by about 5 per cent, a downgrade of its previous forecast of a rise of up to 5 per cent.

“We expect a high concentration of launches in the second half of 2022, with potentially over 20,000 units to be issued with presale consent, similar to the previous peak in 2018,” another agent said. “Combined with increasing interest rates, housing prices will be under pressure.”

The agency said that developers had postponed launches originally slated for the first few months of the year. Four projects consisting of 1,211 units acquired presale consent but were held back during the first quarter as fifth wave of coronavirus struck.

“The high level of expected supply in the primary market is likely to prompt developers to take on competitive pricing strategies, which in turn will exert pressure on the secondary market,” a property agent said.

Heitman Buys Hong Kong Industrial Asset From New World Heir for Reported $57M

Heitman has acquired an industrial building in Hong Kong’s Fanling area from a grandson of New World founder Cheng Yu-tung for a reported HK$450 million ($57.33 million), with the US fund manager planning to transform the asset into a refrigerated storage facility.

The Chicago-based fund manager announced on Wednesday that it has purchased the New China Laundry building in Fanling, in the eastern New Territories, and will convert the 101,463 square foot (9,426 square metre) property into a cold chain facility within the next 12 months.

“We are pleased to add to our existing industrial and commercial portfolio in Hong Kong by acquiring this strategically located asset from a rare corporate divestiture and look forward to executing our business plan of transforming the property into a best-in-class cold chain logistics center,” Heitman head of acquisitions for Asia Pacific Brad Fu said in the statement.

While Heitman declined to comment on the price paid for the asset or the beneficial owner of the vendor, Hong Kong’s company registry shows that the seller is controlled by William Junior Guilherme Doo, son of New World non-executive vice chairman William Doo, with local media reports putting the sale consideration at HK$450 million.

Chilled Valuation

Fu said that with the laundry business, which primarily services hotels and airlines, having been hit hard by the pandemic Heitman was able to secure the 1990-vintage asset at a discounted price, with the purchase having already been completed.

The reported price tag for the six-storey building translates to around HK$4,435 per square foot of built area, with the building occupying a 22,163 square foot site.

Without specifying current tenants, Fu said the building at 6 Yip Cheong Street is now fully leased, and after its conversion will be used as a last-mile distribution hub primarily for storing wine as well as frozen and chilled food products.

“We expect demand for specialized en-bloc facilities to continue to grow on the back of close to full occupancy of cold-storage space currently across Hong Kong,” Fu said.

Heitman picked up the industrial property on behalf of its $750 million Heitman Global Real Estate Partners II which reached a final closing in July 2021. The fund manager has said that with this fresh cash it will invest around $1.5 billion in mispriced, maturing and defensive assets around the world.

“The Hong Kong logistics asset provides geographic and sector diversification while aligning with the smart diversification theme of our proprietary global portfolio construction process. Further, the acquisition is aligned with our global selection of well-positioned assets for re-use in order to benefit from changing consumer demands,” said Gordon Black, senior managing director and portfolio manager at Heitman.

New Fund on the Block

Heitman’s acquisition of 6 Yip Cheong Street is the latest in a series of Fanling deals by international investors over the last 16 months, and the third on the same block.

In September, Blackstone purchased Yip’s Chemical Building at 13 Yip Cheong Street for HK$283 million, with JP Morgan Asset Management following up one month later with its HK$231 million purchase of the Chung Tai Printing Group building at 11 Yip Cheong street – just a few doors down from Heitman’s latest prize.

Including SilkRoad Property Partners’ HK$321 million purchase of the Smile Centre in Fanling in January of last year, international funds have now spent nearly HK$1.3 billion acquiring logistics assets in Fanling, according to data from a property agency. Also during 2021, China Resources Logistics acquired the Mineron Centre in Fanling for HK$695 million.

In a briefing, the agency noted that en bloc industrial transactions hit a five-year high of HK$19.4 billion in Hong Kong last year, with Fanling accounting for more than a quarter of the buildings traded in the sector since the beginning of 2021.

Of the HK$30 billion in Hong Kong real estate investments by international funds since the beginning of last year, some 70 percent went to industrial assets, according to the agency’s figures.

Chengs on the Move

Local news accounts indicated that the seller of the Fanling asset, Success Ocean Ltd, had owned the property since 1999.

Now 48, Willam Doo Jr, who serves as a director of several businesses including New World’s NWS Holdings infrastructure division, The Bank of East Asia and property management firm FSE Lifestyle Services, has sold the New Territories property just a half year after his father’s purchase of a commercial project in London in November 2021.

The 77-year-old real estate tycoon bought the former House of Fraser department store at 68 King William Street in the City of London for around $175 million, making the 11-storey commercial block his first directly owned property in the city.

The Cheng family is one of the richest clans in Hong Kong with the fortune of Henry Cheng – New World’s chairman and the son of Cheng Yu-tung – combined with his family’s wealth ranking the Chengs third on Forbes’ 2021 rich list for the city.

英基标售环角道豪宅地 市场估值逾18亿 可建3.1万呎

继置地日前暗盘放售薄扶林豪宅项目后，英基书院持有南区舂坎角环角道30号地皮，于昨日招标放售，项目最高可建楼面约3.15万方呎，若参考近期浅水湾南湾道豪宅地成交呎价约每呎6.2万，市场估值约18至20亿。

由英基持有的舂坎角环角道30号屋地，距离赤柱著名地标美利楼约11分鐘步程，毗邻皆为低密度住宅、绿化地带及海岸保护区，现为32幢2层高住宅别墅连64个车位及保安室，地盘面积为42496方呎，按最高地积比0.75倍计，可建楼面约31565方呎。而英基持有该地皮作员工宿舍之用。

现为英基员工宿舍

而负责是次招标的代理行指，项目属区内罕有地皮，前临赤柱湾内湾，享无遮挡海湾、阳光及沙滩景致，规模不俗，可建数幢8000方呎至10000方呎大屋，连数千呎花园，为内地客最钟情类型，将于本年6月30日截标，料有机会创区内呎价最高纪录。

如果参考本年2月浅水湾南湾道豪宅地呎价约62352元，是次地皮市场估值约18至20亿。而美国加息对于用家、特别是豪客而言影响不大，预料未来豪宅楼价将会平稳发展。

地盘面积4.24万呎

该行代理表示，舂坎角属传统富裕社区，驱车25分鐘可到达中环及金鐘商业区，同时邻近知名院校，截至去年十月，物业约九成别墅均已租出，租金收入稳定，预期会吸引投资者。

晟林复式招标推

此外，该行获接管人委託，招标出售喇沙利道晟林18楼至19楼顶层复式A单位，面积3949方呎，连910方呎私家天台，另可配售一至三个车位，招标时间由本月10日至7月8日。

尖沙嘴汉口道旧楼作价15亿 乐风伙外资基金收购 将重建甲厦项目

疫情走势持续稳定，发展商纷加快收购步伐。乐风集团昨日公布，伙拍外资基金施罗德资本及BentallGreenOak，斥资逾15亿收购尖沙嘴汉口道旧楼大部分业权，每呎地价约12953元，项目仅餘一伙住宅未获收购，将申请强拍统一业权，重建甲厦项目。

乐风集团昨日公布，伙拍外资基金施罗德资本及BentallGreenOak，已完成收购尖沙嘴汉口道31至37号物业的大部分业权，拟重建甲级商厦。乐风集团创办人及主席周佩贤昨日接受本报访问时表示，上述项目总投资额约25亿，仅餘一伙住宅因未达成共识，故尚未获收购，是次重建项目坐落于尖沙嘴核心区汉口道，是区内主要街道之一，并毗邻港铁站出入口，周边各项商业配套完善，拟建甲级商厦项目发展。

周佩贤：总投资额25亿

她续指出，第五波疫情已步入尾声，预期商贸活动与日俱增，带动本港经济将稳步復甦，若中港两地可通关，届时物业市场将迎来「报復式」反弹。

故儘管甲厦现时正处供应高峰期，惟她对后市仍具信心，并指集团将「吼準」于传统核心商业区及同类供应较短缺的地区收购重建发展。

每呎地价1.29万

乐风集团投资管理总监梁镇峰表示，该地盘面积约9650方呎，规划为『商业 (甲类)』地盘，可建楼面约11.58万方呎，总收购价逾15亿，每呎楼面地价约12953元。

该地盘位于汉口道中段，临街面阔逾33米，零售铺位价值高。该地皮的发展将融合各种顶尖技术、优质建筑设计、绿色环保及可持续发展概念，以及具前瞻性的科技智能配套等。

尚餘1伙住宅未收购

集团已收购该项目的大部分不可分割业权，目前尚餘一伙未能达成共识的单位，集团已开展强拍程序的预备工作以统一业权。

事实上，作为新晋发展商，乐风集团近年迅速冒起，去年底伙拍博领资产管理及石壁投资牵头财团，完成收购佐敦南京街11至21号大部分业权，涉资7.5亿，共涉及4幢物业，地盘面积约7250方呎，该地段现时划入商业用途，预计项目总收购价约8.3亿，以最高地积比率12倍计算，楼面呎价约9540元。

首季商厦买卖登记 仅165宗7季新低

疫情冲击商厦买卖，有代理行指，首季商厦仅录165宗成交，为7季新低。

该行代理表示，商厦买卖登记上月失守半百宗，而首季合共亦只录得165宗登记，除按季大挫38%外，更创自2020年第3季以来的7季新低。根据土地註册处数据，2022年3月份全港共录49宗商厦买卖登记 (数字主要反映2至4星期前商厦市场实际市况)，较2月份的50宗减少1宗，连跌4个月兼创近19个月低位，惟跌势已见喘稳。

3月份登记量处低位横行，而成交金额则跌达35%，主因是个别大额登记减少而导致3月份商厦买卖登记金额跌至只有约7.5亿元，连跌3个月，创近20个月以来最少。至于，3月份最瞩目的单一登记项目为湾仔富通大厦6楼连2个车位，涉及合约金额1.45亿元；其次为尖沙咀东海商业中心12楼1202室连2个车位的7,500万元登记。

按物业价格划分，在7个价格组别的登记量当中，录得3跌4升。在跌幅者中，以200万元至500万元以内组别的58%跌幅最急剧，月内登记量由2月的19宗大减至3月的8宗；而1亿元或以上的大码组别亦跌50%，只录得1宗登记。至于登记量最活跃的是介乎500万至1,000万元以内组别，月内录得15宗，按月上升50%；而逆市录得最大升幅者为银码在200万元以内的超细价组别，登记量按月大增1.5倍，录得5宗买卖登记。

11分区 3区零成交

以地区划分，在该行观察的11个分区当中，共有5区的登记量按月下跌；当中更有3区跌至「零成交」的淡况，包括北角/炮台山区、西营盘/坚尼地城区及九龙湾区。至于长沙湾区买卖登记量亦按月挫50%至只有2宗，而上环/中环/金鐘区也减少20%，3月份录12宗买卖登记，但已晋身成为该月登记量最活跃的观察区。至于逆市录得最显著升幅的是旺角/油麻地区，由2月份的5宗增加至3月份的9宗，升幅达80%。

代理指出，商厦市道自去年底起连跌4个月，其间经历第5波疫情，令交投陷入谷底，但相信最坏时刻已过。随着本港疫情明显好转，社交距离措施逐步放宽，商机重现下令市场气氛回暖；4月份截至27日为止，商厦买卖登记量已追平3月份全月，料4月份最终可达55宗，按月将反弹逾1成。随着疫情持续改善，预期次季商厦交投将回升至195宗的水平，料较首季的165宗反弹18%。

铜锣湾商地申宽楼面 新增楼面料作文化设施

去年由希慎兴业 (00014) 及华懋夺得的铜锣湾加路连山道百亿商业地王，近期向城规会提交发展蓝图，及申请放宽约2%总楼面至约109.8万平方呎，以发展3座商厦，将提供商业、社会福利设施、演艺及文化场地等。

规划署表示不反对，料该申请方案今日可获城规会通过。

规划署不反对 城规料批出

地皮前身为机电工程署总部等设施，对面是希慎旗下利园六期，佔地约15.93万平方呎。申请人早前向会方申请，将分区计划大纲图内的总楼面面积限制由约107.6万平方呎，轻微增加2%至约109.8万平方呎，新增的2.2万平方呎楼面将作为演艺及文化设施。地皮计划以地积比率约6.89倍，发展3座16至24层高 (另设5层地库) 的商厦，预计2029年第三季落成。

文件显示，第1及2座的地库1层至5楼将作为商业用途，5楼部分将用作演艺及文化设施，2楼将设有城市公园及横跨地盘内拟议道路的景观天桥，及延伸至利园六期的拟议行人天桥。

用途灵活 酒店获财团热捧

第2季投资市场开始转活，其中市场连录酒店大手买卖及洽购，由于酒店格价回落，加上可更改用途，故成财团热捧对象。

受疫情影响下，本年首季投资市场淡静，市场罕有录得大手买卖。即使交投不及去年活跃，酒店却成功跑出，首季已录得数宗酒店成交，包括庄士机构国际 (00367) 持有的红磡逸．酒店 (Hotel sáv)，以16.5亿元售出，物业佔地面积约1.02万平方呎，总楼面面积合共约12.21万平方呎，设有388间客房，买家为外资基金AEW。

踏入第2季，多个酒店项目获财团洽购，部分更正式易手，较大手交为九龙珀丽酒店以13.75亿元成交。物业位于大角咀道86号，于2011年落成及开业，地盘面积约9,090平方呎，总楼面约11万平方呎。项目楼高27层，提供435间房，天台则为酒吧。以13.75亿元成交价计，每间房价值约316万元。买家为共居品牌weave LIVING，该集团指与环球房地产资产公司落实收购大角咀九龙珀丽酒店，成为集团旗下迄今规模最大的物业。weave LIVING将进行全面翻新，包括为部分房间重新布局，将物业打造成时尚、配套完备、灵活租期的现代住宿空间。

weave LIVING近年积极在港扩充，去年已先后两度入市，包括以2.95亿元收购西半山医院道6至8号全幢住宅物业，涉48间房。

西环华丽都会酒店9.5亿洽至尾声

另外，西环华丽都会酒店全幢，亦获9.5亿元洽购，物业于2015年落成，地盘面积约4,928平方呎。楼高32层，地下为大堂，1楼为停车场，7至32楼为酒店房间，提供214间房，总楼面面积约6万平方呎。据了解，酒店暂作隔离检疫用途，现时每晚房价约600元。消息称，物业正获财团出价洽购，涉约9.5亿元，按洽购价计，每间房价值约444万元，楼面呎价约1.58万元。

物业由华大集团持有，该集团一直营运酒店，较早前以约14.5亿元，向邓成波家族购入荃湾汀兰居全幢酒店，涉及435间房，平均每个房间作价333万元，如今或进行换货，放售西环项目。另外，该业主持有的北角华美达盛景酒店，消息指亦获积极洽购，涉资约11亿元，以该酒店涉317间房间计，每个房间涉资347万元。

分析指，疫情下不少酒店入住率偏低，特别涉及旅客生意的3星、4星酒店，整体价格回落，开始吸引财团留意。由于共居概念兴起，个别财团看好市区优质地段酒店，可改作共居用途，因此趁低价入市。由于本地住屋需求强劲，租金稳定，故共居概念仍有一定前景，料财团续吸纳酒店。

Layout revealed for Tai Po flats

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has unveiled the layout of Phase 1 of Silicon Hill in Tai Po, which will provide 576 flats.

Around 70 percent of the flats in the project have two or fewer bedrooms, and studio units with areas of around 230 square feet account for only a "very small proportion," the developer said.

The sales brochure is under preparation and the sales could be launched this month, it added.

In Ho Man Tin, Kerry Properties (0683) has unveiled the first price list for 10 LaSalle, involving 30 one-bedroom flats at an average price per square foot of HK$23,300 after discounts.

The batch, which comprises flats from 319 sq ft to 409 sq ft, is priced from HK$7.38 million to HK$9.33 million after discounts, or from HK$20,989 per sq ft to HK$25,559 per sq ft, the developer said.

The completed project provides 73 homes in total and 11 of them have been sold via tender with the developer raking in over HK$450 million.

Sales will take place next week at the earliest and the future batches may cost more, it said, adding that six flats on the 12th floor are open for viewing.

In Kowloon City, Country Garden (2007) has released the sales brochure of Allegro, which offers 190 homes from 213 to 414 sq ft.

In Chung Hom Kok, a 42,496-sq-ft site which could be turned into a luxury residential development is seeking a sale by tender with a valuation of around HK$2 billion, according to a real estate firm.

In the commercial market, Lofter Group said it plans to acquire the majority portion of a HK$1.5 billion property in Tsim Sha Tsui with partners for a Grade-A commercial redevelopment.

Meanwhile, Hysan Development (0014) and Chinachem have applied for a 2 percent increase in buildable area for the HK$19.78 billion commercial site on Caroline Hill Road in Causeway Bay they secured last May.

共享工作空间近年大行其道，发展商纷纷加快发展步伐。华懋集团执行董事兼行政总裁蔡宏兴表示，集团旗下全新品牌CCG Commons伙拍营运商the Hive，于中环华懋大厦打造全新共享工作空间，命名为the Hive Central X CCG Commons，合共有四层，总楼面约17027方呎，入场租金由每月3000元起，项目于本月底开业，洽租情况理想，目前出租率约15%。

蔡宏兴接本报访问时指出，该集团成立全新品牌「CCG Commons」，涵盖三大方向，包括同创、连繫及成长，该品牌首个发展项目，为伙拍共享办公室品牌the Hive于中环干诺道中34至37号华懋大厦，打造全新共享工作空间，名为the Hive Central X CCG Commons，分布于该厦3楼、6楼、13楼及21楼，总楼面约17027方呎，合共提供270流动办公桌及38间私人办公室。

租户包括科技及专业服务

蔡氏续指出，该项目位处传统核心商业区，各项配套完善，由华懋集团拥有，项目现正进行试业并招租，于本月底会正式开业，现今收到逾百宗租务查询，目前出租率达15%，比预期为高，租户包括科技、专业服务、新经济行业等，月租由3000元起，租期由一个月起，灵活程度甚高，并强调新落成且具质素的写字楼于市场上具优势。

看好疫下后市发展

至于the Hive为业内跨国营运商，于2012年成立，在亚太区多个国家拥有21个据点，当中本港有10个据点。

对于疫市下写字楼租务最新市况，蔡宏兴分析指，受第五波疫情打击，市场近两个月租务交投稍放缓，惟甲厦市场近期已见改善，加上疫情加剧市场对灵活办公室的需求，故预期更多企业会採用同类办公室，后市值得看俏。

拟推独立智能工作舱

另一方面，他又指出，集团将会推出独立智能工作舱，于旗下各大商场作流动会议室、办公空间、学习室等。此外，集团将推出旗下首个共居空间项目，选址位于荃湾如心广场，约有两至三层，料于明年首季推出，主攻年轻专业人士客源。

上月录约357宗工商铺买卖 代理行：表现「量跌价升」

第五波疫情持续减退，部分社交距离措施提早放宽，加上第一期消费券派发，以及东铁綫过海段即将通车等利好因素推动下，整体工商铺市场气氛回暖。有代理行资料统计，4月份市场共录约357宗成交，较3月份微升约0.85%。该代理行预测，市况继续向好发展，4月份出现逾10宗大额买卖，令金额较3月份提升近30%，预料未来一至两个月大额买卖活跃。

共录约13宗逾亿成交

该行代理表示，根据该行资料，4月份市场共录约357宗工商铺买卖成交，按月微升约0.85%，对比去年4月同期则跌约49.07%，总金额呈增长趋势，4月份共录约91.93亿，较3月份升约29.81%，按年递减约29.15%，反映4月份大额成交较多。4月份共录约13宗逾亿成交，工厦佔大比数，最大额成交为葵涌货柜码头路43号集运中心全幢，成交价约28亿。

写字楼表现突出

按类别分析，写字楼表现突出，成交宗数录约53宗，按月升约60.61%，带动总金额急升至约7.64亿，对比3月份倍增约76.5%；铺位买卖宗数同样攀升约19.10%，共录约106宗，总金额约27.48亿，较3月份下跌约27.34%。工厦出现量跌价升情况，买卖宗数回落至不足200宗，仅录约198宗，按月减约14.6%，金额则因有3宗逾亿元成交而推动至56.81亿。

该代理分析，相信在大额交投带动下，工商铺于5月及6月持续上扬。

市建局西营盘项目今截意向

近年港岛区住宅地供应罕有，多年来未有土地推出招标，市建局相隔逾5年再有新供应，为西营盘崇庆里/桂香街发展项目，将于今日截收意向书，料将成为各路发展商抢夺对象；综合市场估值，上述地皮估值介乎约14.7亿至16.1亿，每方呎楼面地价约15500至17000元。

市场估值达16亿

西营盘一带多年来未有土地供应，上述项目位于崇庆里1至7号、桂香街12至16号及德辅道西216至218号，邻近私楼薈，距离港铁西营盘站其中一个出口仅2分鐘步程。

地盘面积约11596方呎，可建总楼面约94766方呎，当中包括约4306方呎的商业楼面面积，住宅部分可兴建约165伙。据市建局构思，透过该项目的规划及设计，提升崇庆里儿童游乐场的可达性，并改善从德辅道西和桂香街通往该项目的现有行人网络。

地盘邻近西营盘站

另外，中标发展商，须按发展协议中列明的标準与品质、可持续发展和智能系统的要求，兴建新发展项目，以提供一个可持续发展的生活环境。

资料显示，上述项目是该局于2017年7月展开，并于2018年5月以每方呎面积23568元向小业主提出收购价建议，为该局首次提出破2万的收购价，当时创新高纪录，其后2019年8月被中西区皇后大道西/贤居里每方呎收购价24051元打破。

有测量师认为，上述项目是难得的港岛地盘，由于发展规模适中，相信可以吸引各类型的发展商递交意向书；另外，项目交通及生活配套齐全，毗邻港铁站、附近亦有其他交通工具往各地，邻近亦有街市和各类餐厅。综合市场估值，上述地皮估值介乎约14.7亿至16.1亿，每方呎楼面地价约15500至17000元。

外资基金看好工厦 屡录大手成交

疫情缓和，投资气氛好转，而工厦市场率先反弹，不论分层及全幢均录大手成交，买家多为外资基金，看好本港市场前景。

近日工商铺大额买卖增加，当中以工厦市场表现较佳，连录多宗逾亿元买卖，包括全幢工厦买卖。其中粉岭业畅街6号新中国洗衣集团大厦全幢以4.5亿元易手，物业地盘面积约22,163平方呎，总面积约101,463平方呎，以4.5亿元成交价计，呎价约4,435元。项目于1990年落成，近年由业主自用。翻查资料，原业主于1999年以3,868.8万元购入，持货23年转手，获利约4.11亿，物业升值约10.6倍。

据悉，买家为Heitman，该财团属美资房地产基金，于澳洲、韩国等均设有办事处。该基金去年成功集资，将投资逾百亿元物业，而是次属首度于香港入市。消息指，是次购入该工厦项目，将转作冻仓用途，作长綫收租。事实上，该区全幢工厦去年亦获基金承接，包括叶氏化工集团，以约2.826亿元沽出业畅街13号叶氏化工大厦，成交呎价约4,424元；买家为外资黑石基金，料购入转作迷你仓用途。

另外，兴胜创建 (00896) 以逾2.11亿元，沽出沙田工业中心一篮子物业，涉及物业A座4楼的1至23号工作间及位于该厦2楼的两个车位。总楼面约28,050平方呎，呎价约7,522元。沙田工业中心旁边为九巴沙田车厂，并邻近港铁第一城站、帝逸酒店、住宅欣廷轩等。据了解，是次新买家为加拿大基金Brookfield Asset Management。据了解，新买家计划购入上述物业作迷你仓业务。

柴湾工厦3层楼面 1.8亿售

分层工厦成基金追捧对象，柴湾沙咀道68至76号大成大厦23、24及25楼3层全层，以合共1.8亿元售出，每层面积15,818平方呎，合共总面积约47,454平方呎，呎价约3,793元。原业主早于30多年前购入，沽货赚逾1.64亿元，升值10.5倍。据了解，新买家为外资基金SilkRoad，该基金近一年多次购工厦，包括斥11.6亿元购入屯门恒威工业中心一篮子物业，以及以3.21亿元购入粉岭安全街坚达中心全幢。

分析指，不少基金近一两年均成功集资，并有兴趣投资本港市场。在工商铺市场中，工厦呎价低，用途广泛包括物流中心、迷你仓及数据中心等，均提供稳定租金回报，正合基金投资方向。事实上，去年工厦为大额物业投资市场焦点，料今年情况持续。

发展商续拆售非核心物业，有代理指，有利集团及市建局合作发展的新盘大角咀利．晴坊23，最新放售商场平台连车位、广告位业权，市值约1.2亿元。以商场楼面计算，平均呎价1.12万元。截标日期为5月13日。

项目包括5个商铺 (地下1至3号铺、地下4号铺连1楼、地下5号铺连1楼)，商场平台建筑面积约10,701平方呎，另有5个商用车位及5个广告位置。由于商铺已分契，若果投资者购入可以将铺位「即买即拆售」

住宅新盘商铺获投资者留意，如3月份佐敦德成街2号本木商铺部分，以2.1亿元成交。涉及地铺及1楼，总楼面约1万平方呎，平均呎价约2.1万元。现时铺位部分楼面由咖啡店租用。本木楼高23层，于2021年4月入伙，合共提供172个单位，发展商于2020年尾开售。

甲厦连续6个月 录净吸纳量

甲厦租务有改善，仲量联行报告指，甲厦连续6个月录净吸纳量，中环租金按月微跌。

有外资代理行最新发表的市场报告指出，尽管持续的社交距离措施令3月写字楼租赁市场淡静，整体甲级写字楼租赁市场仍连续6个月录得净吸纳量。

第5波疫情下，现行社交距离措施延长，导致3月租赁交投活动淡静。不过，由于租户需求持续增长，整体甲级写字楼市场仍录得56,200平方呎净吸纳量。

中环空置率回落 租金跌0.1%

该行代理表示，灵活办公空间毋须企业作长期承诺便可使用设备齐全的办公室，这在业务增长或市况未明的情况下尤其重要，因此，愈来愈多企业把灵活办公空间列入其地产组合内，带动灵活空间扩充。

该行另一代理表示，随着新供应落成，3月底整体市场的空置率升至9.4%，较2月份9.1%，升0.3个百分点。中环空置率进一步回落，由2月底7.4%，跌至7.3%，至于港岛东，空置率为7.9%，按月升0.2个百点，九龙东空置率持续偏高，最新为12.5%，仍然为各主要分区市场中最高。

上月整体甲级写字楼租金按月下跌0.2%。主要分区市场中，中环租金月内微跌0.1%，而港岛东录得最大租金跌幅。

佐敦香港体检中心 打造医生楼

佐敦香港体检中心位于区内心臟地段，交通配套甚佳，并以医生楼作主题，非常适合各类型医务所使用。

香港体检中心位于佐敦弥敦道及佐敦道交界，项目处于佐敦最繁忙地段的十字路口，对面为地标裕华国货，故物业可谓处于区内心臟地段。交通上，从港铁佐敦站步行至该厦，需时仅数分鐘。值得一提，由该厦步行至柯士甸站及西九龙高铁站仅约10分鐘，故日后通关，亦适合内地人前往该厦睇医生及进行体检。另外，物业附近的弥敦道、佐敦道均有多条巴士綫，绝对四通八达。

其他配套上，物业地下设有商铺，附近佐敦道及弥敦道食店林立，而佐敦亦有不少酒店，设有餐厅，整体配套理想。

物业楼高16层，设有两部升降机，由于大厦以医疗为主题，出入不乏伤健人士，业主于入口提供设备，方便伤健人士等上落。

楼上各层面积约4,100平方呎，除全层用户外，个别楼层可分间成4单位，单位面积由921平方呎起，可让较小型的医务所使用。景观方面，大厦单位主要向望佐敦道楼景。

香港体检租10层 获命名权

大厦前身为金峰大厦，于1960年落成，地盘面积约5,000平方呎，总楼面约60,798平方呎。2018年，资本策略 (00497) 斥资约21亿元购入物业，平均呎价3.4万元。物业对面的嘉宾商业大厦为传统「医生楼」，故资本策略购入，斥资数千万元进行大翻新，现时大厦地下大堂甚新净，外形亦较以前理想。大厦去年完成翻新工程，业主把物业打造成以医务为主题商厦。

物业完成翻新前，已录大手租务，由香港体检及医学诊断中心租用2至11楼共10层，当中2至3楼每层建筑面积5,866平方呎，其餘各层建筑面积4,153平方呎，总建筑面积约44,956平方呎，月租202.3万元，呎租约45元。是次租期由明年3月初至2025年2月底，为期4年，并有5年续租权，同时获大厦命名权。

3层楼面招租 意向呎租约48

疫情下医务所需求大，现佐敦弥敦道241至243号香港体检中心3层推出市场放租，意向呎租约48元起。

每层面积约4153呎

有代理表示，由资本策略 (00497) 发展的佐敦弥敦道241至243号香港体检中心，租务交投不俗，目前仅餘13至15楼共3层楼面推出市场招租，每层面积约4,153平方呎，意向呎租约48元起。

该代理称，单位设基本天花、地台及墙身装修，可为租客节省部分开支。香港体检中心以健康生活为主题的商厦，已获不少体检中心、物理治疗中心、医学美容等行业青睞。据资料显示，同幢最新一宗租务成交为低层全层，面积约4,153平方呎，于去年7月以每平方呎约45元租出。

医务相关行业在疫情下明显扩充，本年2月，盈健医疗 (01419) 公布，租用尖沙咀星光行地下9、9A及10A铺，以及1楼A至C铺，租约由2022年5月1日起至2028年4月30日止，为期6年，物业将作为大型医务中心，提供一站式的医疗服务及健康科技相关服务。据了解，该物业面积约3.8万平方呎，6年租期涉及9,523万元，按此计算月租约132万元，呎租约35元。

New launches, rate fears hit secondary market

Secondary home sales at 10 major housing estates declined over the weekend, amid ample primary market supplies and imminent interest rate hikes, according to a property agency.

Only 11 deals were recorded, which was four less than a week ago, the agency said. The number slightly rose to 13 during the three-day holiday if the Monday figure is included.

A property agent said that the ample supply of homes in new projects, anticipated interest rate hikes, and a decline in home viewing appointments on Mother's Day led to the fall in the number of deals.

It may take some time for buyers to digest the news of US interest rate increases, the agent said, adding that they now prefer to wait and see the trend of property prices after the hikes kick in.

Meanwhile, Henderson Land Development (0012) sold at least seven flats over the long weekend and cashed in over HK$67 million, said Mark Hahn Ka-fai, a general manager of the sales department.

The Holborn in Quarry Bay recorded three deals after kicking off sales of 20 flats yesterday.

The developer released the third price list last week, offering 45 units at an average price per sq ft of HK$24,355 after discounts.

Two Artlane in Sai Ying Pun also saw one transaction, and the developer has raked in nearly HK$2 billion from the sales of this project, Hahn said.

In Ho Man Tin, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said the showrooms at Prince Central will open to the public today.

Located at 195 Prince Edward Road West, the completed project provides 101 flats ranging from 251 square feet to 1,351 sq ft.

The developer said the price will be unveiled soon and sales may take place within the week.

One-bedroom and studio units account for over 70 percent of the total number of flats in the project and the SHKP previously released the first price list of 50 units last year but the sales were later scrapped.

On the luxury front, Sino Land (0083) and CLP (0002) sold a 2,140-square-foot home at St. George's Mansion in Ho Man Tin for HK$105 million, or HK$49,065 per sq ft, via tender.

Home rents along Hong Kong’s East Rail Line expected to rebound quickly after opening of new cross-harbour extension

More families from Hong Kong Island East are looking for bigger flats in northeastern New Territories, property agent said

Rents in Tai Wai, Sha Tin and Ma On Shan could increase by about 5 to 15 per cent in coming months

Rents at housing developments along Hong Kong’s East Rail Line are expected to rebound first, following the opening of the line’s cross-harbour extension on Sunday, May 15, agents said.

The extension will cut travel times between Tai Wai and Sha Tin in New Territories and Admiralty on Hong Kong Island to about 17 to 21 minutes from 28 to 32 minutes previously, making these areas more attractive to renters, they said, adding that some homeowners in Tai Wai and Sha Tin were already refusing to cut rents. Commuters from these two areas will be able to travel directly to Admiralty from Sunday, instead of changing lines in Kowloon Tong and Mong Kok currently.

“Mainland Chinese students were the major source of demand in these two areas previously, as they are close to Chinese University of Hong Kong and City University of Hong Kong. But we have seen more families from Hong Kong Island East look for bigger flats here,” property agent said.

The 16-station East Rail Line will connect northeastern New Territories directly with central Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. Commuters will be able to reach the commercial and financial hubs in the Wan Chai North and Admiralty areas without changing lines. Admiralty station will become a mega interchange for four railway lines – East Rail Line, Tsuen Wan line, Island line and South Island line.

Families are looking for 1,400 to 1,600 sq ft, three to four-bedroom flats in Tai Wai and even in Ma On Shan, where rents are more affordable than Hong Kong Island, Tsang said. He recently helped a family lease a 1,602 sq ft four-bedroom flat at the two-year-old The Entrance development near Wu Kai Sha station for HK$65,000 (US$8,280) per month. “The project is new, and comes with a sea view,” the agent said.

In Wu Kai Sha, more renters are looking for large units in Altissimo and St Berths since late April, the agent added. Buying activity, however, remains stagnant as demand has been dampened by a potential interest rate hike and uncertainties about the mainland border reopening, the agent said.

Rents in Tai Wai, Sha Tin and Ma On Shan would have greater upside potential in coming months, increasing by about 5 to 15 per cent, the agent said. Viewing appointments had increased by 20 to 30 per cent over the last weekend from the previous weekend, the agent added.

Rents of lived-in homes have fallen 11 per cent after reaching a peak in August 2019, according to the latest Rating and Valuation Department data.

“Home rents dropped most in the first quarter, when the city’s Covid-19 pandemic was worsening, as most owners refused to open their flats for viewing,” another agent said.

Rents in Tai Wai, however, may come under pressure once again, when the phase one of New World Development’s 700-unit Pavilia Farm comes due for occupation in September. “By that time, more new flats will come on the market for leasing and offer more choices to renters,” the agent said.

But the leasing market in Sheung Shui, the second last stop before Lo Wu on the East Rail Line, appears to not have attracted many takers following the news of the new cross-harbour extension.

“We have not seen more purchasers or renters visiting Sheung Shui. But the positive news will bring the area back to buyers or renters’ radar again later,” another agent said.

东莞银行传80万租中环3层巨铺

疫情持续令本港商铺空置率上升，租金大跌，传统商业区中环亦有不少巨型铺位待租。市场消息指出，邻近中环中心的中银集团人寿保险大厦3层复式、总面积近1.4万方呎的巨铺，获一家中资银行以每月80万元承租，租金较高位下跌约29%。据知情人士透露，新租户极有机会为去年才进军本港市场的东莞银行，拟开设首间零售银行分行。

据了解，位于德辅道中134至136号中银集团人寿保险大厦地库、地下及1楼3层铺位，地库建筑面积约4639方呎，地下建筑面积约4586方呎，1楼建筑面积约4622方呎，总建筑面积约13847方呎，原以每月120万元放租约一年，至近期获洽租，终以约80万元租出，呎租约58元，成交租金较叫租低33.3%。

较旧约平三成 每呎58元

资料显示，中银集团人寿保险大厦全幢原由中银保险持有，于2008年以8亿元售予赌王四太梁安琪旗下尚嘉控股，该3层铺位一直租予中银香港 (02388) 作为分行。铺位对上一份租约为2018至2021年，月租为112.5万元，租约去年4月届满。

中银香港去年未有续租，铺位过去一年曾短租予散货场数月，相隔逾一年后才再以长租形式租出，最新租金较旧约下跌28.9%，每月少收32.5万元。该铺2012年月租曾达96万元，即最新租金较10年前还要低16万元或16.7%。

知情人士表示，上述铺位的新租户为银行，以东莞银行的呼声最高。东莞银行为大湾区内的城商行之一，去年3月获金管局授予银行牌照，并租用中环国际金融中心二期写字楼单位设立香港分行，是该行目前唯一境外分行。东莞银行近期再向金管局申请在港设子行的牌照 (本港註册持牌银行)，新公司命名「莞银国际」，将染指本地零售银行市场，估计新承租的铺位将用作首间零售银行分行。

上址对面的德辅道中141号中保集团大厦地下B铺，建筑面积约3805方呎，原由花旗银行承租多年，惟本月租约期满并已迁出，铺位现以每月60万元放租，呎租约158元。花旗银行的旧租金为66.4万元，即最新叫租相对回落9.6%。

美资基金4.5亿入市 购粉岭全幢工厦

基金再度吸纳本港工厦，粉岭业畅街全幢工厦，获美资基金以4.5亿元承接，呎价约4,435元，基金购入将作冻仓用途收租。

呎价约4435 将作冻仓

本年初，粉岭业畅街6号新中国洗衣集团大厦全幢获财团洽购，涉资约4.5亿元。据了解，该项目近日正式易手。物业地盘面积约22,163平方呎，总面积约101,463平方呎，以4.5亿元成交价计，呎价约4,435元，物业附设1部货运升降机及2部客运升降机，另设11货车位私家车位。项目于1990年落成，近年由业主自用。

原业主于1999年以3,868.8万元购入，持货23年转手，获利约4.11亿元，物业升值约10.6倍。事实上，去年至今粉岭已录多宗全幢工厦成交。

据悉，买家为外资基金Heitman，该财团属美资房地产基金，于澳洲、韩国等均设有办事处。该基金去年成功集资，将投资逾百亿元物业，而是次属首度于香港入市。消息指，是次购入该工厦项目将转作冻仓用途，作长綫收租。

投资市场稍转好，而工厦成交明显反弹，并多由外资基金承接，如日前兴胜创建 (00896) 以逾2.11亿元沽出沙田工业中心一篮子物业，新买家为加拿大基金Brookfield，将发展迷你仓。

Brookfield Buys Hong Kong Storage Space From Hanison for $27M After Acquiring RedBox

Brookfield has agreed to acquire industrial assets in Hong Kong’s New Territories from Hanison Construction for HK$211.3 million ($26.9 million), following closely behind the Canadian asset management giant’s under-the-radar purchase of local self-storage operator RedBox.

The assets comprise workshops 1 to 23 on the fourth floor of Block A at Shatin Industrial Centre and car parking spaces V49 and V55 on the second floor of the building, Hanison said Tuesday in a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange.

Market sources tell Mingtiandi that Brookfield plans to convert the Shatin industrial units into a self-storage facility under the RedBox portfolio, tapping a hot sector that has also seen a series of conversion-led acquisitions by rival investor Blackstone. RedBox executives declined to comment.

Toronto-based Brookfield quietly bought RedBox Storage from InfraRed NF in a deal that closed in March, sources said. InfraRed NF is a joint venture of Hong Kong developer Nan Fung Group and British investment firm InfraRed Capital Partners, which is exiting the real estate business to focus strictly on infrastructure. Brookfield representatives also declined to comment on the Shatin acquisition or on the takeover of RedBox.

Struggling for Sheds

Situated at 5-7 Yuen Shun Circuit near the City One residential precinct, the partly leased Shatin property generated an annual rental income of HK$3,180,000 and HK$3,485,000 in the financial years ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2022, Hanison said. The developer, controlled by the Cha family of Hong Kong Resorts International, expects to book a gain on the disposal of HK$66.2 million.

Upon completion of the transaction, Brookfield will take possession of the 34,525 square foot (3,207 square metre) industrial space, paying roughly HK$6,120 ($780) per square foot for the conversion opportunity.

The limited supply of industrial stock for sale in the market means that investors buying into strata-titled floors can still enjoy a decent return from the assets, a property agent said.

“The mini-storage business seems to be quite active in the last year, and in particular Blackstone and Storefriendly have been buying en-bloc properties to convert into mini-storage,” the agent told Mingtiandi. “This sector will continue to grow despite the fact that there are quite a number of players and operators in the market which offer the similar service and product, hence the growth should be slower depending on the locations.”

Blackstone’s trio of acquisitions in 2021 included the Elegance Printing Centre, a Shau Kei Wan property picked up from the family of late “Shop King” Tang Shing-bor for HK$500 million. That November deal followed the US private equity giant’s HK$282.6 million September purchase of Yip’s Chemical Building in the Fanling area and the HK$508 million April buy of the New Media Tower in Kwun Tong, the latter property having already opened as a Storefriendly location through a joint venture with the local self-storage operator.

Self-Storage Heats Up

InfraRed NF acquired a 90 percent stake in RedBox in 2018, on the heels of a 2017 investment of $28 million in China Mini Storage, a mainland-based self-storage provider.

RedBox was founded in 2014 by E3 Capital Partners, a property investment firm led by Simon Tyrrell, and now owns and operates five self-storage facilities in Shatin, Chai Wan, Yau Tong, Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan, spanning more than 400,000 square feet of space.

Tyrrell stepped down as RedBox CEO in early 2021 to become a board member and executive chairman, focusing on the company’s strategic initiatives. His successor, Tim Alpe, previously served as chief operating officer of the Ovolo boutique hotel group in Hong Kong and Indonesia.

The New Territories contains the lion’s share of Hong Kong’s 690 self-storage locations with 39 percent, according to data compiled by another property agency, followed by Hong Kong Island with 32 percent and Kowloon with 29 percent. Of the total, 249 buildings are considered old, with 88 percent of them having been built in 1987 or earlier, presenting a potential flight-to-quality opportunity, the property agency said.

Sun Hung Kai plans to build 9,940 flats at Yuen Long’s Tam Mei wetlands in one of Hong Kong’s biggest mass housing projects

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) plans to build 9,940 flats at Tam Mei in Yuen Long, according to applications filed with Hong Kong’s Town Planning Board

The project comprises 36 residential towers of between 10 and 29 floors each, translating to about 400 square feet (37 square metres) for each unit on average

A mass housing project is taking shape near the wetlands in Hong Kong’s New Territories, with the potential to accommodate 25,850 residents when it is completed in 2026, a major step towards easing the acute shortage in one of the world’s most expensive cities.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) plans to build 9,940 flats at Tam Mei in Yuen Long, according to applications filed with Hong Kong’s Town Planning Board.

The project comprises 36 residential towers of between 10 and 29 floors each, translating to about 400 square feet (37 square metres) for each unit on average, according to the plan.

The number of flats being planned, equivalent to Hong Kong’s total home sales in the first seven months of 2021, is about the size of Whampoa Garden in Hung Hom, making it one of the city’s largest residential communities.

The push to develop the area – currently on loan to the city government as a community isolation facility for Covid-19 patients – follows the extension of a transport network to promote Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor’s Northern Metropolis project.

The project is near the planned Au Tau subway station of the Northern Link, about 800 meters away from the station. It takes 10 minutes to reach the “Hong Kong Silicon Valley” San Tin Technopole, which aims to create 148,000 IT-related jobs.

“Now that the Northern Link construction has been revealed, the land should yield residential development to solve Hong Kong’s housing problem, which is better,” said SHKP’s project director Spencer Lu.

SHKP plans to include nearly three hectares of wetlands within the Tam Mei project to balance conservation with its property development. The project includes land that has been earmarked for a primary school, and elderly care homes and amenities.

The northern part of the project, currently being used as Hong Kong’s community isolation facility – has been permitted for transformation into a large-scale retail outlet in the early years, according to the plan.

The southern part has received permission for the construction of a hotel, and is currently mainly a brownfield site for large open-air warehouses. The Koon Chun Sauce Factory sits in the middle of the site. SHKP said it reached an agreement with Koon Chun to relocate its factory to the southern region of the site.

With a plot ratio of 2.2 to 2.5 times for the residential part, that will account for 4 million sq ft in gross floor area. The non-residential part, with a plot ratio of less than 0.1 time, will yield 150,158 sq ft.

The development site will measure 2.11 million sq ft, including housing development that spans 1.75 million sq ft, the relocated sauce factory and a school.

SHKP claims to be the most active developer in converting farmland to residential use. SHKP is experienced in balancing conservation and development, including the construction and rapid sales of Wetland Seasons Park and Wetland Seasons Bay next to the Hong Kong Wetland Park.

The applications will be subject to three weeks of consultation, and is expected to be discussed in a Planning Board meeting in mid-July, when it may be approved or rejected, according to the Board’s website.

The developer wants the approval process to be fast and completed this year, and aims to complete the first phase of the project by 2026 and 2027, said Rebecca Wong, planning director of project planning and development department of the developer.

The ownership of agricultural land in the New Territories is extremely fragmented, said the developer. It called on the government to adopt a more flexible approach in the future to facilitate more land planning adjustment projects and make better use of land resources.

Hongkong Land Leases 3 Central Office Floors to White & Case

Hongkong Land has welcomed a former tenant back to its Central office portfolio after 15 years, announcing that global law firm White & Case had taken up three floors at York House, the developer’s Grade A office tower at 15 Queen’s Road.

The US-based firm is leasing 25,000 square feet (2,322 square metres) across floors 9, 10 and 16 at York House, said Hongkong Land’s director and head of office and commercial property Neil Anderson.

“We are delighted to welcome White & Case back to our Central portfolio as they look to expand their footprint across Hong Kong and the APAC region,” Anderson said in a company press release. “The firm’s long term commitment to Hongkong Land is testimony to the quality of the buildings and our leadership in serving the legal services community.”

Though the firm leased its new office at an undisclosed price, the move followed a 2.5 percent year-on-year decline in average rents at the developer’s Hong Kong office portfolio to HK$117 per square foot per month in 2021, according to Hongkong Land’s latest annual report. However, compared with open market rents at Central Tower, which White & Case had previously occupied, rental rates at York House are 30 to 40 percent higher, market sources told Mingtiandi.

Down the Road

With the firm’s new office space having opened in April, the district’s biggest landlord is bringing White & Case back to its portfolio from the 1997-completed Central Tower, which is also on Queen’s Road and less than 200 metres (218 yards) from York House.

The move by White & Case boosted the firm’s office size by about 13 percent from its 22,000 square foot space, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The 14-storey York House, about two minutes’ walk from Central MTR station, spans 116,250 square feet of office space atop Hongkong Land’s The Landmark, a shopping mall home to luxury brands like Gucci and Dior. The building is also part of the Landmark complex, which aside from the retail podium consists of two other office buildings, as well as the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Before settling into Central Tower in 2007, White & Case had occupied 17,000 square feet at Gloucester Tower, one of the office buildings in that same complex.

Central Rents Remain Soft

While White & Case has expanded its office space, many companies in Hong Kong have been downsizing in terms of staff numbers and adopting work-from-home arrangements, a surveyor said. Landlords will have to offer competitive rents among other incentives to attract new tenants to take up office space, the surveyor added.

In Central, rents rose 0.7 percent from the preceding three months in the first quarter, a property agency said in a report published last month, though despite the slight improvement from January to March, rents in the key business district have come down 1.6 percent year-on-year.

“Market uncertainties since the start of 2022, including the outbreak of Omicron, geopolitical tensions and stock market volatilities, have disrupted the decision-making process of occupiers, (which slowed) office leasing momentum in the first quarter,” another agent said, who added that overall Grade A office rents saw a 1.3 percent quarter-on-quarter drop in the period.

A surveyor firm expects that office rents in Central to remain soft in the current quarter, the surveyor said, noting that most prime office buildings in the district are held under single ownership and the big landlords are unlikely to reduce the rents as much as those of strata-titled offices.

“A few tenants may be able to (take advantage) of lower rents and choose to move to Central from decentralised locations, but more tenants will move out or downsize,” the surveyor said, adding that vacancy rates will also remain at a high level throughout the rest of the year.

Home City Slows

In 2021, the value of Hongkong Land’s investment properties in its home city was $26.6 billion, down 5 percent from the year before, due to lower open market rents.

However, the lower leasing rates in Hong Kong may have helped the developer attract more tenants, with vacancy in the Central office portfolio improving to 4.9 percent at the end of last year from 5.9 percent at the end of 2020.

永伦申强拍湾仔金鐘大厦 集86.67%业权 全幢乙级商厦估值8.4亿

港岛区地皮新供应罕有，永伦集团及有关人士频瞄準具潜力项目，最新向土地审裁处提出申请强拍湾仔金鐘大厦，目前持有逾86%业权，仅餘下3个单位并未成功收购，市场就全幢估值8.4亿。

据土地审裁处文件显示，上述项目位于湾仔谢斐道52至58号，邻近中国恆大中心及万通保险大厦，目前永伦集团及有关人士持有约86.67%业权，餘下3个单位未成功收购，包括2个地铺、地下入口大堂 (Entrance Hall) 及1楼单位，市场估值约1391万至7292万；其中地下入口大堂及1楼单位被视为1份业权，地下入口大堂市场估值约1304万，1楼估值约5988万，合共估值约7292万，市场对全幢估值为8.4251亿。

尚餘3单位未收购

永伦申强拍该厦，市场人士甚关注，消息指，永伦早于创办人伦志炎在生时，频购入该厦单位收租，近年则见于2018年增购单位，相信趁商厦及铺位低迷时，有意齐集业权重建，其「收楼」做法，并非像一般收楼公司，短时间内收购大量业权。本报昨日就该厦申强拍联络伦耀基，他则回应指，就未来发展，暂未有甚麼计画。

佔地面积4509方呎

金鐘大厦1967年落成，楼龄约55年，地盘面积4509方呎，坐落于「商业」用途地带，若以地积比15作重建发展计，可建总楼面约67635方呎。该厦位处港铁金鐘及湾仔之间，前往港铁站步程需时7至10分鐘。

有代理则表示，金鐘大厦属于乙厦，内櫳残旧，不过，位置非常好，位处谢斐道及分域街单边，目前楼高只有17层，日后若重建，部分单位望开扬海景。现时租客主要为小形贸易会计师楼，以及中小企，钟情租金低廉。

根据代理资料，该厦一个单位，建筑面积约2038方呎，望城市景，意向呎租26元。

永伦集团积极併购旧楼，去年循强拍途径以底价14.5亿，统一铜锣湾景隆街20至28号新安大厦旧楼业权，地盘面积约5388方呎，规划在「商业 (1)」地带上，地积比15倍，可建总楼面8.1万方呎。

市建西营盘项目截收34份意向 地皮估值最多16亿 发展商取态积极

市区重建局相隔逾5年，再有港岛区住宅发展项目推出。该项目位于西营盘崇庆里/桂香街，昨日截收意向，合共接获34份意向书。除大型发展商之外，亦吸引眾多中小型发展商，数量符合市场预期。

市建局表示，该局董事会设立的遴选小组，将会按照订定的入围準则，就发展商的项目发展经验和财政能力，从收到的意向书中，挑选符合资格的发展商，并将根据董事会已批准的主要招标条款，邀请入围的发展商，提交合作发展标书。

据现场所见及综合市场消息，多家本地大型和中型发展商都有递交意向书，包括新地、信和、恒基、会德丰地产、华懋、英皇、中国海外、资本策略、保利、远东发展、其士、泛海、爪哇及鹰君，另有多家不知名财团。

其士：拟独资发展

英皇国际物业经理蔡宏基表示，项目位于港岛西营盘，邻近港铁站，属罕有市区住宅地供应，地盘面积适中，加上集团在同区有多个发展项目，料能产生协同效应，因此递交意向书，希望取得标书作详细研究。项目料能提供百多伙中小型单位，此类住宅向来有庞大刚性需求，预期能于2026、2027年左右落成，距离现时有约5年发展周期，因此不担心美国加息周期及疫情影响。

其士国际物业发展部高级销售及市场主任梁达钧表示，这是市建局2017年后，首个推出的港岛住宅发展项目，位于香港核心地区，而且接近港铁站，因此有兴趣独资发展，留待入标时决定会否发展商住项目，以及单位户型等细节，会配合政府政策及条款，改善市民居住空间，届时会考虑加息及疫情等因素。不过，香港有庞大刚性住屋需求，虽然面对加息环境，未来楼市仍会稳健发展。

中小发展商料积极入标

西营盘一带多年来未有土地供应，上述项目位于崇庆里1至7号、桂香街12至16号及德辅道西216至218号，毗邻崇庆里儿童游乐场，距离港铁西营盘站仅2分鐘步程。

项目地盘呈「L形」，面积约11596方呎，可建总楼面约94766方呎，当中包括约4306方呎商业楼面面积，住宅部分可兴建约165伙。据市建局构思，透过该项目的规划及设计，提升崇庆里儿童游乐场的可达性，并改善从德辅道西和桂香街通往该项目的现有行人网络。

资料显示，上述项目是该局于2017年7月展开，并于2018年5月以每方呎23568元向小业主提出收购价建议，为该局首次提出破2万的收购价，当时创新高纪录，其后2019年8月被中西区皇后大道西/贤居里每方呎收购价24051元打破。

住宅呎价或达3.5万

有测量师认为，项目有三十多间发展商递交意向书，符合预期，若连同建筑费在内，料发展成本20亿至22亿，规模适中，预料中小型发展商会积极入标，估计将来可接获约12份标书。综合市场估值，上述地皮估值介乎约14.7亿至16.1亿，每方呎楼面地价约15500至17000元。

另一测量师指，意向书数量与以往同类项目相若，参考周边新盘呎价达3万至3.5万，预计项目落成后单位呎价约3.3万至3.5万。

会展站将啟用 料带动湾仔北商厦租售

东铁綫过海段即将通车，业界预期新增的会展站，可望带动湾仔北一带写字楼租金及售价企稳。同时亦因过海方便，较低水的尖东及红磡商厦可望受惠。有财团亦因通车在即，推售湾仔谢斐道商厦楼花。

东铁綫过海段于5月15日正式通车，当中新增位于湾仔北的会展站。向来湾仔北为商业地段，通车后交通更便利，商业气氛可望提升。目前湾仔北的甲厦，价格指标主要为会展广场办公大楼，其次为海港中心、鹰君中心等，租售均相当稳定。

据代理行资料显示，4月份疫情缓和后，整体写字楼买卖及租务均按月上升，其中湾仔商厦买卖录8宗，按月升1倍；租务涉49宗，亦按月升约17%。

该行代理指，近两年商厦市场受多项因素影响，甲厦买卖及租务甚淡静，而东铁綫过海段通车，未必立即大幅带动投资气氛转炽热，不过当交通转便利后，对湾仔北商厦仍是正面消息。该代理指出，湾仔北商厦租售价一向颇硬净，如会展广场办公大楼每呎叫价约4万元，而湾仔海港中心亦高见3万元，造价不比金鐘及中环低。会展站正式啟用后，该区商厦租售价可望进一步稳定。

过海方便 尖东红磡商厦可受惠

另外，该代理亦指，东铁綫过海段通车，湾仔会展站前往红磡仅一站距离，尖东、红磡商厦向来较低水，可吸引机构搬迁，故此可留意该地段商厦。

有财团睇好通车在即，趁机推出商厦新盘发售。宏基资本 (02288) 旗下湾仔商厦新盘「Novo Jaffe」近日推出，物业位于湾仔谢斐道218号，楼高27层，3至30楼为写字楼用途，每层面积约2,243平方呎，部分楼层将分间细单位，面积约469至550平方呎起。项目共58伙，呎价约1.8万元起，预计入场费约800餘万元。消息称，项目中低层全层已获预留。另外，外资基金凯龙瑞旗下湾仔轩尼诗道重建项目Hennessy 333，亦準备于短期内推出。

加快收购 铜锣湾9项目增265万呎楼面

铜锣湾一带近年收购重建加快，连同去年批出的加路连山道商业地王，区内9个项目合共将提供近逾265万平方呎，包括新世界 (00017) 或相关人士收购的利园山道大型重建项目，将提供约30万平方呎楼面。

铜锣湾属于发展成熟的商业零售区域，区内新供应的商业地皮罕有，去年推出的加路连山道商业地，已经是近20年、30年来区内唯一商业用地供应，故此不少区内新建商厦，均属于旧楼併购重建而成，亦推动铜锣湾由商住混合社区，走向以商业为主的社区。

目前铜锣湾区内至少有9个商业项目，合共提供逾265万平方呎楼面，除了加路连山道商业地外，其餘8个均属旧楼或者酒店项目重建，大部份更由旧楼併购而成。

利园山道重建 料作综合发展

当中利园山道5至27号、波斯富街54至76号，以及罗素街60号的旧楼群，由于位处轩尼诗道电车路，跟罗素街、时代广场两大零售区域之间必经之路，零售价值高，早在近10年前已经获财团展开收购，并有多批投资者、发展商「落钉」形成收购战。

经过多年时间，去年新世界或相关人士成功以约12.8亿元，收购利园山道23、25号 (部分)、波斯富街72号及波斯富街74号 (前段) 的4间地铺及16个住宅单位，相当于该厦所属地段的逾20%业权，成功增持至8成业权，有望透过强拍申请统一业权。

按照该利园山道、波斯富街旧楼群目前佔地约2万平方呎，现时已经属于「商业」规划用途，若果以最高地积比率15倍发展，可建楼面将达30万平方呎，预计将会较适合作银座式商厦，或者基座为商场、楼上为写字楼的综合式商厦发展。

加路连山地王 改划3幢商厦

区内最瞩目的加路连山道商业项目，则由希慎伙拍华懋以约197.78亿元投得，每平方呎楼面地价逾1.8万元，将会兴建3幢16至24层高商厦，总楼面109.79万方呎。

铜锣湾街铺租值 按季跌4.5%

疫情未过去，零售市场疲弱，拖累核心区商铺市道。据戴德梁行指，今年首季核心区街铺租赁按季跌约3%，特别以铜锣湾按季下跌约4.5%最差，不过该行指出商铺市道料已见底。

据一间外资代理行指出，在今年首季第5波疫情期间，核心零售地区首季商铺租金下滑，铜锣湾表现最差，按季下跌4.5%，平均呎租跌至约793元，另外3个核心地区包括尖沙咀、中环及旺角，租金按季下跌约2.7至3%，跌幅较为温和，呎租报约322至873元。

四大零售区空置率高企

至于空置率方面，四大零售核心区空置率持续高企，情况最恶劣为旺角，而铜锣湾则录得10.5%，部分业主寧将铺位空置，静待好租户，亦有倾向以2至3年租期，租予实力商户，亦有短租予口罩及防疫用品店。

事实上，根据差估署数据指出，曾属全球最贵街道的铜锣湾罗素街多个商铺租值下跌。当中罗素街2至4号2000年广场地下至3楼，面积逾1.5万平方呎的巨铺，以往曾由意大利高级品牌PRADA以月租约900万元承租。该铺在2022/23年度应课差餉租值为3,468万元，按年下跌21%，相较高峰期更大跌52%。另外，呎租曾贵绝本港、位于铜锣湾景隆街2号地下A2号约50平方呎迷你铺，新一年度应课差餉租值为60万元，较本年度的租值99.6万元跌4成，与高位2015/16年度租值300万元比较，更回落80%。

「变形金刚」餐厅 月租100万进驻罗素街

奢侈品牌Burberry退租 新租金跌5成

特色餐饮趁租平进驻核心区一綫地段，铜锣湾罗素街前Burberry两层5千呎铺，获餐饮集团以100万元租用，较旧租跌半，将开设「变形金刚」主题餐厅，为十多年来首宗餐饮进驻罗素街地铺个案。

较早前英国名牌Burberry决定放弃续租铜锣湾罗素街金朝阳中心旗舰店，并于年初正式迁出，铺位获新租客以约100万元预租。近日该铺位外墙掛起新租客广告，获餐饮集团承租，开设以动画「变形金刚」为主题的餐厅，为本港首间。据了解，早在去年尾，爱讯集团全资拥有的餐饮业务附属机构A La Carte，宣布正式和孩之宝签订合作，共同发展其变形金刚品牌，并于亚洲地区之主要城市联手打造全新高科技、充满动感的变形金刚餐饮概念店。

涉两层复式铺位 设零售区

据了解，由于铺位面积大，店内除了有餐饮外，更有零售区售卖变形金刚玩具及纪念品等。由于变形金刚的动画及电影大受欢迎，料餐厅今年开幕可吸引大批粉丝前来。

翻查资料，铜锣湾罗素街金朝阳中心地下A、B铺至1楼复式铺位，面积合共5,200平方呎，逾10年前内地客访港消费高峰期，Burberry以每月约770万元租用铺位，租金较前租客 (手机品牌) 高2.5倍。品牌于2015年以880万元续租，其后租金回落，估计Burberry最后每月租金约200万元水平。如今餐饮集团以约100万元租用，较旧租平一半，较高峰期更跌近9成。

铜锣湾罗素街为全球最贵铺租地段，过去极少有餐饮租铺，如今属十多年来首宗罗素街地铺由餐饮业租用。事实上，近两年爆发疫情，因封关下零旅客，多个品牌减成本迁出罗素街，导致吉铺处处，租金明显下挫，餐饮亦趁此时租用地段楼上铺；包括罗素街8号1楼铺，面积约6,700平方呎，原由化粧品店租用，去年获汉堡店FIVE GUYS以50万元租用，租金平约58%。

全球最贵地段 少有餐饮租地铺

除此之外，同区优质地铺亦获餐饮租用，铜锣湾啟超道16号地下至2楼，面积约3,400平方呎，获人气面包店Bakehouse租用，现正进行装修，月租约30万元，较前租客太子珠宝鐘錶月租跌近8成。

34 developers show interest in rare Sai Ying Pun site: URA

The Urban Renewal Authority has received 34 expressions of interest from major local and some mainland developers for the Sung Hing Lane/Kwai Heung Street Development Project in Sai Ying Pun, a rarely available development site on the Hong Kong island.

Henderson Land Development (0012), Far East Consortium International (0035), Emperor International (0163), China Overseas Land & Investment (0688) and Poly Property (0119), were said to be among the developers who expressed their interest.

The project, which covers a site area of 1,077.3 square meters, was valued from HK$1.26 billion to HK$1.6 billion, or from HK$13,500 to HK$17,000 per sq ft. Upon completion, it is planned to provide a total gross floor area of about 8,804 sq m.

A tender review panel will shortlist the qualified developers from the submissions, taking into consideration their development experience and financial capability to undertake the development, and they will be invited to submit tenders, the URA said in a statement yesterday.

Through better site planning and design, the redevelopment aims to enhance the connectivity to the adjoining children's playground while improving the existing pedestrian access from Des Voeux Road West and Kwai Heung Street, the statement said.

In the primary market, Wheelock Properties said sales of 119 homes at Monaco Marine in Kai Tak will take place on Friday.

On sale are 117 homes on price lists including 29 one-bedroom units, 66 two-bedroom units, 22 units with three bedrooms, and two penthouses that will be sold via tender.

Managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu said over 100 homes in the low-rise apartment buildings will be put up for sale after the opening of the East Rail Line cross-harbor extension on Sunday.

The extended railway will boost Kai Tak's property prices by 5 to 10 percent and the developer has raked in over HK$5.65 billion after selling 392 homes this year, Wong added.

In Ho Man Tin, Kerry Properties (0683) has unveiled the second price list with 30 homes for 10 LaSalle.

Together with the first batch, 60 flats will be put on the market on Saturday and Kerry has received nearly 500 checks for the flats, making them 7 times oversubscribed.

In Tai Kok Tsui, the third batch with 62 flats at The Quinn Square Mile was revealed by Henderson.

In Kowloon City, Country Garden (2007) said it may unveil the first batch of Allegro today, offering around 50 units, and the sales may take place next week at the earliest.

疫市下依然录得多宗大手成交，本报早前率先披露，「铺王」邓成波家族沽售深井服务式住宅汀兰居全幢，作价14.2亿，持货5年帐面蚀让2.6亿，买家身分终于曝光，为恒基四叔李兆基女婿、华大酒店主席兼执行董事郑啟文旗下公司。

持货5年帐面蚀2.6亿

华大酒店、顺豪物业投资及顺豪控股联合公布，以约14.2亿购入深井汀兰居，物业楼高16层，总楼面约21.6万方呎，呎价约6564元，该物业提供436间房间，每个房间售价约325万。

公布指出，收购汀兰居可扩充其现有酒店管理服务及酒店管理组合，以增加收入来源及提升盈利能力的良机。此外，该物业于去年底估值为24.6亿，交易完成日期为今年10月10日。

每房间售价325万

资料显示，邓成波家族于2017年以约16.8亿购入上述物业，于两年前推出市场放售，当时意向价高达23.8亿，故最新成交价较意向价低约4成，持货5年帐面蚀让约2.6亿，物业期间贬值约15%。

市场早前流传邓成波家族放售的一篮子物业清单，包括住宅、工厦、商铺等物业，共涉30项，合共意向价高达70亿，当中较瞩目物业为九龙城蔚盈轩全幢，以约18亿放售，较去年意向价低约1成，以总楼面66428呎计，呎价约2.7万。

西环华丽都会酒店9亿易手 WeaveLiving伙美资基金向华大购入

全幢酒店于疫市下「异军突起」，租务品牌Weave Living继上月购入九龙珀丽酒店后，最新伙拍一家美资基金，购入华大旗下西环华丽都会酒店全幢，作价9亿元，每间房间售价约420万，该租务品牌于两个月内连环购入两全幢酒店项目，涉资约22.75亿。

租务品牌Weave Living昨日宣布，伙拍美资基金安祖高顿 (Angelo Gordon)，以9亿购入西环皇后大道西338至346号华丽都会酒店全幢，以项目总楼面约60150方呎计，呎价约14960元。该酒店提供214间房间，每间房间售价约420万。

涉214间房间

Weave Living创办人兼集团行政总裁Sachin Doshi称，购入该物业后将会全面翻新，打造成灵活的住宿空间，料于明年第三季开业，成为集团旗下港岛区第3个项目。

连购2酒店涉逾22亿

有代理指，全幢酒店的升值潜力高，加上市场上全幢物业的供应短缺，因此受实力投资者追捧。

新业主将酒店改装成共居空间，并会提供灵活的租赁条款、多元化设施等，因此预计以共居空间营运，可以为新业主带来稳定和可观的租金收入。

Weave Living于疫市下大举扩充，上月以初以合营企业形式，购入德祥地产旗下大角嘴九龙珀丽酒店，作价13.75亿，短短两个月内，该租务品牌连环购入两幢酒店项目，涉资约22.75亿。

事实上，该租务品牌向来钟情市区酒店，本报于上月底率先披露，华大旗下北角华美达盛景酒店亦获準买家积极洽购，涉资约11亿，料于短期易手，并以Weave Living呼声最高，当时本报向该集团负责人查询，惟回覆指集团不打算增购任何物业。

活化工厦政策推动下，传统工业区面临变天，当中长沙湾吸引不少中外企业进驻，进一步转型为西九龙新商贸区。新近有业主看好长沙湾发展前景，遂将长沙湾联兴工厂大厦一篮子物业推出市场放售，该批物业佔高达近85%业权，意向价约5.5亿元。

有代理表示，项目位于长沙湾琼林街109号联兴工厂大厦一篮子物业，共佔约84.8%业权份数，意向价约5.5亿元，以现状及连现有租约出售。

项目现为一幢楼高10层之工业大厦，地盘面积约8800方呎，被划作其他指定用途註明「商贸」及「政府、机构或社区」用途。物业于2021年获城规会批准放宽地积比率限制，并增至14.4倍以作准许的非污染工业用途发展，可建楼面面积约约12.672万方呎。

该代理指，今番放售物业位处兴旺地段，与邻近第一集团新落成的环球商贸广场三期可产生协同效应，加上所佔业权份数高，强拍阻力少，料获发展商及投资者垂青。

Construction of New World Development's 888 Lai Chi Kok Road project completed

New World Development (0017) announced on Wednesday that the construction of its Grade A commercial building at 888 Lai Chi Kok Road in Cheung Sha Wan has officially finished with about 75 percent of gross floor area sold already. 

The developer successfully obtained the Certificate of Compliance issued by the Lands Department today, meaning the building is set to become the first new Grade A commercial complex in the district. 

According to New World, the sold 75 percent of gross floor area is split halves among financial and insurance companies and education institutes, bringing in more than HK$5.4 billion for the developer. 

They include Nanyang Commercial Bank, listed technology company PC Partner Ltd (1263), and the School of Professional and Continuing Education, The University of Hong Kong. 

The 28-story building is designed by P&T Architects with about 580,000 square foot of office area as well as 241 private and 70 public parking spaces. 

This project is among the three land plots in West Kowloon tendered by New World back in 2017. The other two are the projects on King Lam Street and on Wing Hong Street. 

The constructions of the King Lam Street project and the Wing Hong Street project are expected to be finished by next year and 2024 respectively, paving way for West Kowloon's new core business district. 

All three commercial buildings -- an investment project worth over HK$20 billion -- can provide up to 2 million square foot of gross floor area, New World added.

Two hotels change hands as Covid roils Peninsula

Two hotels in Hong Kong changed hands as The Peninsula Hong Kong posted its lowest occupancy rate since the Sars outbreak in 2003 of 9 percent in the first quarter.

Magnificent Hotel Investments (0201) said it plans to acquire The Bay Bridge Lifestyle Retreat Hotel for HK$1.42 billion from Lafayette Hotel, owned by the late "shop king" Tang Shing-bor's family.

The 16-story hotel is located at Castle Peak Road in Tsuen Wan and has 435 guest rooms, a restaurant, swimming pool and gym.

Tang's family, which purchased the hotel for HK$1.68 billion in 2017, would suffer a loss of around HK$260 million, or 15 percent of its value, after holding it for 5 years.

Rental accommodation provider Weave Living meanwhile, entered into an agreement with Magnificent Hotel to buy its Grand City Hotel in Sai Ying Pun for HK$900 million.

This came as The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels (0045) said the occupancy rate at the Peninsula Hong Kong was 9 percent in the first quarter amid the worst Covid outbreak in the city.

Revenue per available room in the city in the first three months also plunged by 52 percent year-on-year, or 71 percent quarter-on-quarter to HK$380.

Average room rate, however, soared by 56 percent from a year ago to HK$4,127.

CK Asset Sells Mid-Levels Luxury Homes for $50M as High-End Market Hangs On

Two units on a high-level floor at CK Asset’s Mid-Levels luxury project sold last week for a combined HK$393.9 million ($50.1 million), showing the resilience of Hong Kong’s high-end housing market amid the COVID-led economic slowdown.

Hong Kong’s second-largest developer by market capitalisation on Friday sold Unit 6 on the 21st floor of 21 Borrett Road’s 26-storey tower for HK$190.1 million, reflecting a sale price of HK$87,648 per square foot, according to public records posted by the developer. Unit 7, an adjacent apartment on the same floor, sold that day for HK$203.8 million, equivalent to a per-square-foot price of HK$88,034.

The price tag for both homes was in line with previous sales on floors 16, 18 and 22 of the property from mid-2021 through January this year, a surveyor said, who noted that the latest transactions were for high-zone units in the residential tower.

The developer has sold 32 units at the first phase of the project since February of last year, according to research from a property agency. Excluding three transactions on the 23rd floor of the project — for which unit rates ran from HK$126,000 to HK$136,000 per square foot — the price for homes at 21 Borrett Road averaged HK$79,132 per square foot, the agency said.

Borrett Road Slowdown

The four-bedroom units that sold this month to undisclosed buyers are part of 21 Borrett Road’s first phase, comprising 115 units across three residential towers. With Unit 6 spanning 2,169 square feet (202 square metres) and the adjacent Unit 7 covering a saleable area of 2,316 square feet, the two apartments could be combined to create a super-sized luxury home, another surveyor said.

Last week’s deals followed a lull in sales at the Mid-Levels project in the first quarter, when only two transactions totalling HK$334.6 million were recorded during the entire period.

This was a drop from 2021, when CK Asset had recorded three transactions in the first quarter alone, despite sales having begun just in February that year. The first of the three was a 3,378 square foot unit in a different building at the project that sold for HK$459 million, translating to HK$136,000 per square foot and breaking the record for Asia’s priciest apartment at the time.

With social distancing restrictions having begun to relax on 21 April, in-person home viewings have also resumed to normal, according to a property agent.

“It is encouraging to see two units at 21 Borrett Road transacted at the right price only on the second weekend since viewing activity resumed,” the agent said.

Luxury Sales Slide

Sales in the luxury residential sector have been thin since the beginning of the year due to the fifth wave of COVID-19, the agent said.

Hong Kong’s latest outbreak led to dampened economic activity during the first three months of 2022, according to another agent, who said activity in the luxury residential sector “was no different”.

“According to the Land Registry, the number of sale and purchase agreements dropped from 1,213 cases in 2021 to 646 cases in 2022 during (January to April) for luxury residential properties with a consideration higher than HK$20 million,” the agent said.

Before Hong Kong was hit by its fifth COVID wave, luxury deals were still breaking records at the start of the year. In January, a unit on Victoria Peak at the Mount Nicholson project, developed by Wheelock Properties and Nan Fung Development, sold for HK$583.2 million to an unnamed buyer, making it the second most expensive home ever sold in Asia on a price per square foot basis.

With Hong Kong battling the fifth wave of the pandemic and amid growing geopolitical tensions, however, luxury home prices in the city slid as much as 2.7 percent in the first quarter, according to the agency.

Despite the current headwinds, with buyers from outside Hong Kong facing hurdles to luxury property purchases, two types of buyers continue to support demand in the high-end residential market: local high-net-worth individuals and wealthy mainland-born new Hongkongers who live in the city, another agent said.

“With the anticipated border opening between Hong Kong and China, it is possible that more mainland buyers would purchase luxury homes in Hong Kong, resulting in a slight rebound in the luxury housing market this year,” the agent said.

港铁东铁綫过海段快通车，湾仔一带交通转便利，料区内商厦租售向好，而财团亦趁湾仔有新港铁站带动，推售商厦新盘。

东铁綫过海段5月15日正式通车，更新增湾仔会展站，而前往红磡更是一站之距，交通转便利，可望带动湾仔一带商厦租务及买卖。

据代理行资料显示，4月份整体商厦买卖录66宗，较3月份41宗，上升61%，相信主因疫情缓和，投资气氛转好，当中湾仔商厦录8宗成交，按月升1倍，亦为近半年多以来新高。租务方面，4月份湾仔录49宗租务成交，亦较3月份42宗升17%。

Novo Jaffe 发售中 呎价约1.8万起

湾仔商厦料向好，财团亦趁疫情缓和加上东铁过海段通车，推售湾仔商厦新盘。其中宏基资本 (02288) 旗下湾仔商厦新盘 Novo Jaffe 近日推出，物业位于湾仔谢斐道218号，楼高27层，3至30楼为写字楼用途，每层面积约2,243平方呎，部分楼层将分间细单位，面积约469至550平方呎起。项目共58伙，呎价约1.8万元起，预计入场费约800餘万元。消息称，项目其中一层全层已获预留。

翻查资料，宏基资本数年以积极收购湾仔谢斐道216至222号的谢斐大楼，为8层高物业，地下为商铺，1至7楼为住宅，涉及4个商铺及42个住宅。项目地盘面积3,267平方呎，其后财团收购至尾声，并以2.28亿元购入谢斐大楼3个地铺，总面积约2,185平方呎，呎价约10.4万元，并成功统一该厦业权。

凯龙瑞333 Hennessy 一梯两伙设计

另一项商厦项目为轩尼诗道333号333 Hennessy，项目楼高21层，共设41伙，主要为一梯两伙设计，面积介乎471至1,727餘平方呎，每层楼面大细不一，如6至9楼，每层两单位面积分别为872及873平方呎，而11至15楼，每层两单位分别为753及752平方呎，而16及20楼为特式单位，设有平台。由于项目位于轩尼诗道，属湾仔主要干道，物业适合作半零售用途。翻查资料，物业原为旧楼轩辕大厦，物业于1979年落成，属一梯两伙商住大楼，原由投资者林子峰持有。2017年，凯龙瑞基金斥3.2亿元购入地盘，每呎楼面地价约8,421元。

分析指，疫情下近两年商厦投资气氛欠佳，呎价及租金明显下跌，而近月商厦价租售回稳，预计投资气氛转好后，商厦价亦相对稳定，而此时东铁綫过海段通车，为湾仔及金鐘等传统商业区注入新元素，交通更为便利，特别湾仔区新设会展站，预计湾仔商厦租售价今年平稳向好。

4月工商铺357买卖 金额升3成

有代理行资料统计显示，4月份市场共录得约357宗工商铺买卖成交，较3月份轻微上升约0.85%，反映买家对工商铺物业投资信心趋稳。

根据该行资料，4月份市场共录得约357宗工商铺买卖成交，按月轻微上升约0.85%，对比去年4月同期则下跌约49.07%，涉及总成交金额则呈增长趋势，4月份共录得约91.93亿元，较3月份上升约29.81%，按年则递减约29.15%，反映4月份大额成交较多。同时，4月份市场共录得约13宗逾亿元成交，当中涉及工厦成交较多，其中最大额成交为葵涌货柜码头路43号集运中心全幢买卖成交，成交价约28亿元。

写字楼53宗交投 按月升6成

按类别分析，写字楼成交宗数表现最见突出，涉及成交宗数录得约53宗，按月大升约60.61%，带动总金额急升至约7.64亿元，对比3月份倍增约76.5%；而铺位买卖宗数亦同样攀升约19.10%，共录得约106宗，而涉及总成交金额约27.48亿元，较3月份下跌约27.34%。至于工厦方面，则出现量跌价升情况，4月份买卖宗数回落至不足200宗，仅录得约198宗，按月减少约14.6%，而涉及的金额则因有3宗逾亿元成交而推动至56.81亿元，对比上月明显大幅抽升约98.1%。

该行代理分析，今年第1季工商铺市况遇上第5波疫情爆发而陷入停摆状况，然而踏入4月份疫情见缓和，工商铺入市气氛亦同步转好，不少投资者及用家加快入市步伐，个别业主亦见有反价情况。再者，华懋刚以约27.78亿元夺东涌商业地皮，亦反映发展商对经济前景感乐观，加上东铁綫过海段即将通车，利好湾仔及金鐘等港岛核心区商厦投资价值，更推动写字楼需求上升。同时，社交距离措施进一步放宽及受惠于消费券效应，人流已见增多，市民所积存的购买力助零售及饮食业生意额急升。在多种利好因素下，投资者及用家陆续于工商铺市场涌现，相信在大额买卖交投带动下，工商铺物业交投量在5月及6月份会持续上扬，价格亦会拾级而上。

娱乐行地铺每呎208元跌77% 星资时装进驻 中环租金重返沙士时

疫情持续放缓，带动铺市租赁转活，零售品牌亦趁势抢租核心区一綫地段。中环皇后大道中娱乐行地铺，新获新加坡时装品牌以约50万租用，呎租约208.3元，较上一手长租租金急挫逾7成，租金亦重返沙士时水平。

核心区一綫街道租金跌势未止。就本报记者于中环皇后大道中现场所见，皇后大道中30号娱乐行地下D铺，铺面向云咸街，近日已上围版，新获时装品牌Love Bonito租用，将于7月开幕。

LoveBonito每月50万承租

该铺位属「赌王」四太梁安琪的旗舰收租物业，位处中环最核心地段，人流量极高，昔日为各大商户「兵家必争之地」，该铺于2015年初获名车品牌平治 (Mercedes-Benz) 以约450万租用上址及毗邻C号铺，当时打通两铺位，用作陈列室及概念餐厅，当时于市场上相当瞩目，以铺位总楼面约4800方呎计，呎租高达938元，惟于2017年底结业迁出，故最新租金较上一手长租急挫约77%。

本港零售市道及后急走下坡，该铺于平治撤出后，该铺曾交吉达3年，至去年初获糖果店Sweet Dreams by Heinemann短租一年，月租仅约40万，惟于今年初于租约届满已迁出。

铺位曾交吉达三年

据地产代理指出，上述铺位最新市值租金约50万，呎租约208.3元，故较上一手长租急挫约77%，令市场感到哗然，租金亦重返当年「沙士」水平；然而，儘管该铺租金大幅「缩水」，惟属贴近大市水平，资料显示，娱乐行地下A及B铺，于2020年底获东方表行以约50万租用，呎租约482元，较旧租金95万下跌约47%。

Love Bonito是亚太区内大型女装品牌之一，该品牌于两年前在中环H Queen's开设限定店大受欢迎，并推出网站推售旗下服饰，料趁势抢租核心区一綫地段，以扩充本地业务发展。

泛海大厦地铺每呎50元租出

另一方面，皇后大道中亦录另一承租个案，消息指，该街道59至65号泛海大厦地下6A至G号铺，建筑面积约1794方呎，以约9万元租出，平均呎租约50.1元，与该铺旧租金相若。

Wheelock plans 3,000 Tai Po homes in land sharing pilot

The Development Bureau said it has received an application under the land sharing pilot scheme from Wheelock Properties to build a total of 3,000 private and public homes on a site in Tai Po.

The site, located to the south of She Shan Road, covers about 5.2 hectares of private and government land, the bureau said.

The application involves about 2,100 public housing units and 900 private housing flats and supporting facilities, with a total gross floor area of about 159,000 square meters.

Wheelock Properties chairman Stewart Leung Chi-Kin said the developer hopes to make good use of the lands it owns in the New Territories and alleviate the housing supply problem in the short-to-medium term.

This application came as Hong Kong's overall stamp duty revenues from property deals last month sank by 15 percent month-on-month to a record low of HK$422.4 million.

The number of transactions edged up by 1.6 percent to 255, the data from the Inland Revenue Department showed.

Buyer's stamp duty revenue more than halved month-on-month to HK$99 million and the number of transactions also slipped by 34 percent to 52.

In contrast, special stamp duty revenue jumped 1.37 times to HK$32.9 million, and the double stamp duty revenues also rose 5.8 percent to HK$290.5 million.

In the primary market, the sales brochure of The Grand Mayfair II in Yuen Long has been released. The project provides 805 flats ranging from 351 sq ft to 977 sq ft.

In Ho Man Tin, Kerry Properties (0683) has received over 900 checks for the 60 homes at 10 LaSalle that will kick off sales Saturday.

随疫情走势放缓，带动甲厦租务交投转活，惟核心区租金仍备受压力，金鐘力宝中心一座中层单位于交吉近三年后，以每呎约47元租出，较旧租金挫逾20%，属市价水平。

核心区甲厦租金急下滑，市场消息指出，金鐘力宝中心一座中层7室，建筑面积约1887方呎，新以每呎约47元租出，月租约88689元，据代理指出，该单位上一手每呎租金约60元，惟租户于2019年7月已迁出，业主随即以每呎约78元放租，随着2019年下半年动乱发生，加上紧随着疫情爆发，甲厦市场冰封，此期间，力宝中心呎租曾跌至每呎33元水平，上址业主一直没有大幅减价，直至单位丢空多时，业主态度逐渐软化，至今接近三年，最终以市价租出，较上一手租金下跌约21%，亦反映甲厦于过去三年以来，甲厦租金受负面因素影响，所录得的跌幅。

每月租金8.86万

事实上，近期，该甲厦租金呎租，一直维持40多元水平，资料显示，一座中层6室，建筑面积1570方呎，于上月以每呎约42元租出，略低于市价水平，月租约65940元，较上一手租金每呎53元跌约20%。 去年5月，力宝中心1座高层D室，面积约2343方呎，获中资企业以每月7.73万承租，平均呎租约33元，为该甲厦11年以来新低水平。

呎租曾低至33元

近年来，力宝中心造价亦低迷，该厦2座低层3室，建筑面积约658方呎，于本月以约1513.4万售出，呎价约2.3万。

代理指，上址早前以意向呎价约2.8万放售，惟受疫情等因素影响，市场问盘洽购淡静，业主逐步扩阔议幅，最终减价至每呎2.3万售出，减幅约17.8%，若以该甲厦市值呎价约2.5万计，上址成交价亦低市价约10%。

业内人士分析指，由于力宝中心业权分散，不少单位交吉，业主议价空间较阔，疫情爆发期间，甲厦供过于求，拖累租务需求急剧萎缩，租金明显受压。

近期成交呎价2.3万

本报统计资料显示，金鐘力宝中心于去年第四季平均呎租约54.1元，较两年前急挫约34%，属十大甲厦中于疫市期间跌幅「最伤」甲厦。

中环金鐘甲厦租赁成交料升

有代理行指出，东铁綫过海段昨日通车，东铁綫由红磡延伸过海至港岛，通车后中环及金鐘往来新界时间将大幅缩短，金鐘站将成为四綫汇聚的「超级转车站」，港岛核心商业交通网络更完善，将带动中环及金鐘甲厦租赁交投量上升。

代理行：东铁过海段带动

此外，随着疫情回稳，加上政府提早放宽防疫措施，商业活动将陆续恢復，写字楼买卖及租赁活动会逐步增加。

该行发表的商厦市场报告指出，4月的租务成交量反弹至近五个月高位，而五十大指标甲厦成交量亦回升至1月份疫情较稳定时水平，上月共录9宗买卖。

最瞩目的是资深投资者李栢景以1.92亿沽佐敦四海玉器中心全幢。该行代理表示，虽然商厦交投趋活跃，但租售价仍处低位。

(星岛日报)

甲厦上月租售价微跌

有代理指，上月甲厦售价及租金均录得轻微下跌，分别按月跌0.1%及0.3%，当中港岛核心区如金鐘、中环的甲厦亦要减价吸引租客。

以近期成交的金鐘太古广场三期及位于中环的中环中心高层单位为例，其租金都较之前低10%至30%。受低价租务个案拖累，中环区的甲厦租金按月挫4.3%，属跌幅最大的分区。

整体甲厦空置率9.5%

空置率方面，4月的整体甲厦空置率最新为9.5%，与3月份相若。而东九龙的甲厦空置率仍然是各分区中最高，该区空置率上月升至14.7%，更是自2021年11月以来最高。

另外，受惠东铁綫过海段提早于昨日通车，港岛核心商业区一带交通网络变得更完善。这将有望带动中环及金鐘甲级写字楼的租赁交投量上升。

同时，随着疫情回稳，加上政府提早放宽防疫措施，商业活动将陆续恢復，该行预计写字楼买卖及租赁活动会逐步增加。

邓成波家族沽湾仔商厦 平均每呎造价7760元

邓成波家族疫市连环沽货，消息指，由该家族持有的湾仔轩尼诗道多按商厦物业，新以约1428万成交，原业主持货16年帐面获利约612万，物业期间升值约75%。

据地产代理指出，湾仔轩尼诗道310号千居，为商住式物业，该厦1楼写字楼，建筑面积约1840方呎，新以1428万售出，每呎造价约7760元。

涉资1428万 16年升值75%

据悉，邓成波家族早于2006年以约816万购入上址，惟于2020年起先后两次向多家财务公司承造按揭，以易手价计，物业于16年期升值约612万，物业期间升值约75%。

「铺王」邓成波于去年离世后，该家族频频沽货，合共套现金额达百亿，该家族最新推出一篮子物业放售，合共涉约30项物业，涉及放售金额高达70亿。

该家族部分物业售价略有调整，如九龙城蔚盈轩全幢，去年放售价约20亿，近日减价至约18亿，减幅10%，总楼面66428方呎，呎价约2.7万，物业月租约200万，若以最新叫价出售，买家获回报约1.3厘。

最新放售30亿物业

观塘开源道50号利宝时中心地下1及2号铺，面积2076呎，放售价由去年1.2亿下调至最新的1.02亿，呎价4.91万。 该家族旗下近期较瞩目成交，为华大酒店、顺豪物业投资及顺豪控股以约14.2亿购入该家族持有的荃湾汀兰居，提供436间房间。原业主持货5年帐面蚀让约2.6亿，贬值约15%。

City's office deals point upward

The number of office leasing deals surged to a nearly five-month high last month, a property agency said, a sign that the economy is on a path to recovery.

The transaction number in the top 50 Grade-A office buildings also rebounded to nine, the level last seen in January when the epidemic was more stable, the agency said.

Although trading in offices has become more active, rental and sales prices are still low, agent said.

The transaction prices of Grade-A offices edged down 0.1 percent month-on-month in April, and the rents also fell slightly by 0.3 percent, the agent said.

In the core areas of Hong Kong Island, such as Admiralty and Central, landlords of Grade-A office buildings have to reduce their asking prices to attract tenants, the agent noted, adding that rents in some transactions, including Three Pacific Place and The Center, were 10 percent to 30 percent lower than several years ago.

Low prices also dragged down the rent level of the Central District. It fell by 4.3 percent month-on-month in April.

The overall vacancy rate in April was similar to that of March, at 9.5 percent, the agency said. The vacancy rate in East Kowloon remained the highest among all districts, rising to 14.7 percent last month, the highest since November 2021.

The East Rail Line Cross-Harbour Extension, which opened yesterday, is expected to drive up the demand for Grade-A offices at Admiralty and Central, the agent added.

Market bustles as more Yuen Long flats rolled out

The batch, which comprises 32 one-bedroom units, 70 two-bedroom units, and 36 units with three bedrooms, is priced from HK$6.25 million to HK$15.23 million, or from HK$17,521 to HK$19,900 per sq ft after discounts. The latest batch is around 3.2 percent costlier than the first batch of HK$17,898 per sq ft mainly due to the differences in the views and floors, according to the developers.

The 805-flat project is phase 1B of a 2,200-flat mega development that is being jointly developed by Sino Land (0083), K Wah International (0173) and China Overseas Land and Investment (0688).

Another batch may be launched shortly and the sales could take place within this week, the developers said. They have collected over 2,000 checks for the homes on offer.

In Kowloon City, Country Garden (2007) said it will reveal another batch for its Allegro soon and more than 3,000 prospective buyers have visited the showrooms since last Thursday.

It unveiled the first price list on the same day with the cheapest unit coating a little less than HK$5 million after discounts. The project offers 190 homes from 213 to 414 sq ft.

In Ho Man Tin, Kerry Properties (0683) said it has sold at least 57 flats at 10 LaSalle, or 95 percent of units on the price lists, cashing in over HK$480 million. The completed project provides 73 homes in total.

In Tai Kok Tsui, at least 17 flats - a studio unit, 15 one-bedroom units, and a two-bedroom unit - were sold over the weekend, which brought the developer Henderson Land Development (0012) over HK$106 million in contracted sales.

The builder said it has raked in a total of HK$575 million after selling 87 flats in the project.

The secondary market, however, was in the shadow of the first-hand projects over the weekend.

Only 13 deals were seen in the top ten housing estates, down by 7.1 percent from a week ago to a nine-week low, according to a property agency.

The launches of new projects have drawn property buyers' attention from the second-hand homes, which, coupled with the slow economy, volatile stock market, and interest rate hikes, many prospective buyers now prefer to wait before making a move, property agent said.

湾仔住宅地估值逾16亿

港岛区住宅地供应罕有，地政总署昨推出湾仔皇后大道东269号用地招标、即吕祺教育服务中心，为该区自于14年后相隔近8年再有新供应；综合市场估值约16.96亿至18.82亿，每方呎楼面地价约14600至16200元。

上述皇后大道东269号住宅地，地盘面积约1.32万方呎，涉及可建总楼面约11.62万方呎。该地毗邻私楼慧贤轩、湾仔分科诊所，并面向赛马会公园，距离港铁湾仔站约10分鐘步程，附近社区配套设施充足。该地将于下周五 (20日) 招标，并于6月17日截标。

区内相隔8年再推地

湾仔区近年少有住宅地供应，资料显示，对上一幅批出用地为捷船街住宅地，由合和于2014年6月以2.33亿投得，每方呎楼面地价约1.6万；意味该区相隔近8年再有卖地表地皮供应。事实上，上述用地曾于2018年财政年度纳入卖地计画，其后因司法覆核影响被剔出卖地表，直至近年再度重新纳入卖地表内，最新则于来季推出市场招标。

有测量师指出，湾仔区缺乏新盘供应，加上地盘面积细，相信会受发展商欢迎，料届时可截获10份标书，落成后单位呎价有望超过3万。

Investors rush to buy in first-weekend property sales despite biggest base rate rise in 22 years

Kerry Properties sold 57 of its 60 one-bedroom units on offer at the residential project at 10 LaSalle development in Ho Man Tin by Saturday afternoon

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority followed the US Fed with a base rate rise, but mortgage rates remain at about 2 per cent

Investors rushed to get ahead of the rising interest rate cycle by snapping up new flats in a first-weekend property sale after the biggest interest rate rise in 22 years by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) earlier this month.

By 6pm on Saturday, 66 units of the 88 units made available across two separate projects had been bought, according to property agents. The strong demand suggests higher interest rates have not hurt property market sentiment.

Kerry Properties sold 57 of its 60 one-bedroom units on offer at the residential project at 10 LaSalle development in Ho Man Tin. Property agents expect it can sell out most or all by the end of the day.

Offer prices for the units, which are between 319 to 409 sq ft, range from HK$7.38 million (US$940,000) to HK$10.99 million. The average price stood at HK$24,258 per square foot after discounts offered by the developers.

“The increase of the US Fed rate and HKMA base rate is well expected and they are not a surprise to the market. The homebuyers have well prepared to pay more for their mortgage loans in coming years,” a property agent said.

“The strong response to the weekend sales is due to the fact that were almost no new flat sales in the first quarter, while the homebuyers return to the market when developers launch a new project,” the agent added. The agent also noted that investors may believe the political situation has become more stable with the election last Sunday of John Lee as the city’s next chief executive.

Hong Kong’s cost of money soared by the most in 22 years as the city’s de facto central bank followed the US Federal Reserve to increase the base lending rate by 50 basis points to 1.25 per cent. That marked the biggest one-time increase in Fed rates since 2000.

Hong Kong’s base rate is expected to rise to 4 per cent by the end of 2023.

“The property sentiment has not yet changed with the interest rate rise,” another agent said, adding that the commercial mortgage interest rate has not yet risen. Most mortgage rates are now at about 2 per cent.

“Even if the interbank rate or prime lending rate will increase later this year, it is not going to be substantial,” the agent said. “People can still afford to pay their mortgage loans with the expected rate rise. The property outlook for the Hong Kong market remains positive.”

Some homebuyers are rushing to buy now in anticipation of further rate increases, according to a surveyor. “They fear they may not be able to pass the stress test requirement next year and hence will not be able to get a mortgage loan,” the surveyor said.

Hong Kong’s stress test requires all new mortgage borrowers to prove their income is high enough to withstand interest rate increases of up to 3 percentage points from the time of their application.

“Many customers may be able to pass the stress test now amid a low-interest-rate environment, but they may not be able to pass the threshold next year,” the surveyor said. “Developers would also like to launch the projects to sell now before the rate rises. As such, we are going to see a lot more new flat transactions in the coming months.”

The Kerry Properties’ project located at 10 La Salle Road, Kowloon, is a traditional low-density luxury residential area famous for its nearby prestigious schools. The 10 LaSalle is a 17-storey building, providing 73 units in total. The other 12 three-bedroom units and one four-bedroom unit are sold via tender.

Ahead of the sale, 10 LaSalle received 900 registrations from interested buyers, meaning about 15 interested buyers were going after each of the 60 units on offer Saturday.

Separately, Henderson Land sold nine of 28 units on offer by 6pm on Saturday at the residential project The Quinn Square Mile in Tai Kok Tsui. The units are all one-bedroom flats and studios.

The cheapest unit measured 206 sq ft was offered at a price of HK$4.54 million, while the most expensive flat measured 320 sq ft for HK$7.21 million.

The developer had already sold 51 units of The Quinn Square Mile on May 1. The average price after discounts ranged from HK$20,971 to HK$24,353 per square foot.

A property agent said that The Quinn Square Mile units are left over, so the sale would be at a slower pace than other new projects. However, there are still some buyers interested in the project, especially younger ones.

The sale of property has bounced back this month after the fifth wave of Covid-19 subsided in the city. Hong Kong had no new flat sales in February and March, as the outbreak and social distancing measures linked to the city’s caused developers to delay new project launches.

The Quinn Square Mile, with 614 units in total, also featured two-bedroom flats, with the largest measuring 382 sq ft. The first-batch units were earmarked for sale at an average launch price of HK$23,928 per square foot after discounts offered by the developer.

疫市下大额物业受捧，市场即将有一宗瞩目的全幢甲厦放盘，位处九龙湾啟祥道高银金融国际中心，接管人已委託大型代理行，即将推出标售，全幢物业市值约100亿，料吸引投资财团及实力用家角逐。

九龙地标甲厦高银金融国际中心，早前虽曾获準买家承接，惟未有如期成交。市场消息透露，该全幢甲厦即将推出标售，楼高28层，总楼面约85.2万方呎，楼龄约6年，疫情虽持续多时，惟市场上资金寻找出路，料该项目吸引投资财团角逐。

由于项目属全幢业权，拥有命名权，料有机会吸引实力用家垂青，过去多年来，东九龙屡录全幢商厦成交，买家包括国内地产商，亦有外资金融机构承接。

高银金融国际中心位于啟祥道17号，楼高28层，佔地约7.1万方呎，总楼面约85.2万方呎，属地标甲厦项目，价值不菲。根据代理行资料，近月区内指标甲厦成交，包括新落成富临中心呎价介乎1.4万至逾1.5万水平。

料吸投资者及用家

其中，富临中心B座19楼C至D室，建筑面积约3113方呎，以每呎15197元售出，涉资4731万；而有一定楼龄的亿京中心，其中B座28楼A室，建筑面积约3939方呎，以每呎11678元成交。

多年来，区内亦屡录大手成交，其中，亿京为首财团，于去年6月向合和实业购入九龙湾国际展贸中心，涉资约105亿，并将投资逾180亿建地标甲厦；区内地王纪录，包括南丰于2017年5月底，以逾246亿击败11间中港财团夺啟德商业地，楼面呎价12,863元。

该幅啟德1F区2号地，邻近未来沙中綫啟德站，可建楼面达191万方呎，预计地皮日后约三分一楼面的高层单位可望维港景。

同区甲厦呎价1.5万

高银金融国际中心由高银金融于2011年，以约34亿投得啟祥道商业地，并于2016年落成大厦，作为自用及出租。

惟项目于2020年9月，遭接管人宣布放售，意向价120亿，及后，项目录买家FONG Tim拟以143亿购入项目，不过，最终未成事。因此，今番再度推出标售。市场人士指，该厦超豪华，拥有中环「FEEL」，大部分以全层形式出租。

罗氏观塘道项目补价9亿

地政总署资料显示，罗氏集团旗下观塘道350号项目，以近9亿完成补地价，平均每方呎楼面补价约3256元。

地政总署昨日公布今年4月补地价数据，包括工厦「标準金额」补地价先导计画推出后的补地价个案，为观塘道350号项目，以8.9922亿完成补地价程序，按可建总楼面27.62万方呎计，平均每方呎楼面补价约3256元。

平均每呎楼面约3256元

在「北都」计画驱动下，发展商全力开拓新界区住宅地。由新地持有的元朗米埔锦壆路一幅住宅，上月以2.68亿完成补地价，每方呎楼面补价约1927元。该项目曾于2013年获批71幢洋房，去年9月向城规会提交新发展方案，令单位总伙数增加约42.5倍至3090个住宅单位。

文件显示，新方案由「住宅 (丁类)」地带改划为「住宅 (丙类) 1」地带，以地积比率2倍发展，拟兴建10幢分层住宅及4幢洋房，楼高3至23层，共提3090个住宅单位，当中住宅楼面涉及141.42万方呎；另有3.54万方呎非住用楼面，以提供6幢楼高1至3层楼宇，作零售及安老院舍等施设之用，提供100个牀位。

另外，尖沙嘴梳士巴利道18号香港瑰丽酒店，部分商业项目，以3094万完成补地价程序。

罗素街铺王18万短租 食品店签署半年约

铜锣湾罗素街再录短租，其中位处波斯富街的单边「铺王」，获楼上有限公司承租，每月18万，为期半年，平均呎租仅129元。

观塘寧晋中心 享地利适合半零售

观塘新式商厦多，位于成业街的寧晋中心最大卖点是邻近港铁站，非常方便，细单位亦多，正合半零售行业。

东九龙观塘新商厦林立，而个别较偏离主要街道，略为不便。成业街7号寧晋中心最大优势，是位处观塘最繁忙的开源道及成业街，由港铁站步行至该厦仅5分鐘，极为方便，而大厦附近的观塘道巴士綫多，前往九龙各区及港岛东甚快。

其他配套上，寧晋中心基座地下至2楼为商场，内设有多间食肆及商铺，加上位于观塘广场旁，更利吸纳消费客源。另外，由该厦前往观塘地标商场apm仅数分鐘，有更多餐厅、商店，一应俱全。

柱位隐藏 四正实用

物业于2010年落成，区内第一代散业权商厦，大堂设于3楼，地下有扶手电梯直上，大堂铺云石地砖，提供6部客用升降机。大堂内设有大幅波浪形玻璃幕墙，配上高楼底空间感足。

大厦楼高36层，写字楼层由11楼起，每层楼面约1.77万平方呎。物业每层间有由A至H室，提供8个单位，原则以B、C、F、G室最接近楼层大堂位置。单位主要望观塘楼景。大厦开则呈正方形，柱位隐藏于墙身，故分间单位柱位不明显且四正，甚为实用。

细单位适合中小型机构使用，寧晋中心最细单位由900餘平方呎起，加上邻近港铁站，物业不少用户属半零售成分，包括有健身中心租用全层，另外一些教育机构、教会等使用细单位。

买卖方面，该厦今年未有买卖，去年中，物业12H室，面积约2,714平方呎，以约2,800万元成交，呎价约1万餘元，对上一宗买卖为去年7月，物业32A室，面积约8,887平方呎，以约1.03亿元易手，呎价11,567元。

酒店成投资焦点 共居品牌作改装

投资气氛明显转好，近期市场连环录得大额酒店成交，成投资焦点，当中以共居品牌成主要买家，购入进行改装。

第二季大额买卖气氛转理想，除了工厦外，酒店为另一项投资焦点，更连环录大手成交。华大酒店 (00201)、顺豪物业投资、顺豪控股近日公布，以约14.2亿元收购荃湾汀兰居，该物业在2021年12月15日的估值为24.6亿元。物业楼高16层，佔地面积约216,314平方呎，共有435间客房，以上述收购价计，即平均每间房价值约326万元。该物业曾分别作酒店及服务式住宅用途，业主亦曾把部分空间改装成共居空间。

物业原由邓成波家族持有，波叔于2017年以16.8亿元购入物业，两年前曾放售，当时叫价高见约23亿元，一直未获承接，现降至14.2亿元沽出，较两年前降价近4成，如今5年蚀2.6亿元离场。

同时间，华大酒店亦指，以9亿元沽出西环皇后大道西338至346号华丽都会酒店全幢物业。酒店楼高32层，于2015年落成，地盘面积约4,928平方呎，地下为大堂，1楼为停车场，7至32楼为酒店房间，提供214间房，总楼面约6万平方呎。据了解，酒店暂作隔离检疫用途，现时每晚房价约600元。以9亿元成交价计，平均呎价约1.5万元。

财团看好本地租务市场

据了解，新买家为共居品牌WEAVE LIVING，该集团指，将与另一基金安祖高顿 (Angelo Gordon) 合作投资华丽都会酒店项目。事实上，WEAVE LIVING近期表现非常积极，4月才以13.75亿元购入九龙珀丽酒店，物业位于大角咀道86号，于2011年落成及开业，地盘面积约9,090平方呎，总楼面约11万平方呎。项目楼高27层，提供435间房，以13.75亿元成交价计，每间房价值约316万元。WEAVE LIVING表示，将进行全面翻新，包括为部分房间重新布局，将物业打造成时尚、配套完备、灵活租期的现代住宿空间。

今年最大手酒店买卖，则为AEW基金以16.51亿元购入红磡「逸．酒店」(Hotel Sav)，物业总楼面合共约12.21万平方呎，设有388间客房。据了解，买家将改装，日后或主打学生宿舍之用。

分析指，投资气氛稍转好，惟整体商业气氛仍一般，需时回復。在多项物业中，以住宅市场表现最稳定，包括住宅租务需求仍强劲，财团看好本地住宅租务市场，购入酒店后改装成共居空间、宿舍，主要客群为本地租客，比起传统酒店靠游客入住，收入相对稳定，预计相关市场尚有发展空间，令酒店买卖上升。

New World’s affordable housing project aimed at getting first-time buyers in Hong Kong on property ladder

A proposal has been submitted to the Town Planning Board to build about 300 flats, with sizes ranging from 300 sq ft to 400 sq ft in Lam Hi Road, Yuen Long

The project, which is still awaiting government approval, will be sold at cost to buyers who fulfil the eligibility criteria

New World Development plans to build Hong Kong’s first subsidised housing project that will be sold at cost to help young first-time buyers get on the property ladder in the world’s most expensive city to own a home.

New World Build for Good, the developer’s social enterprise unit, earlier this month submitted a proposal to the Town Planning Board to build about 300 flats, with sizes ranging from 300 square feet to 400 square feet, on a 30,300 sq ft site in Lam Hi Road, Yuen Long, according to an announcement on Monday.

It expects construction to start next year if everything goes according to plan, with the project likely to be completed as early as 2027.

“My vision is to start a new era in Hong Kong, by improving people’s housing issues and enabling the next generation to achieve the milestone of home ownership,” said Adrian Cheng, CEO of NWD and chairman of New World Build for Good. “We hope to refresh Hong Kong’s housing model and provide truly affordable homes for those in need.”

The site is about 10 minutes by bus from Yuen Long MTR station.

A NWD spokeswoman said the units will be sold at cost. “We will not make any profit from this project,” she said, without disclosing further details.

In December 2021, the developer said it was planning a project aimed at those living in subdivided flats and second-generation public housing renters.

The eligibility criteria for buyers of the flats in the project includes meeting the maximum income and total assets requirements of Hong Kong’s Home Ownership Scheme (HOS), which are set at HK$33,000 (US$4,230) and HK$925,000, respectively, for individuals, and HK$66,000 and HK$1.85 million for a household of two or more members.

A 300 sq ft flat will cost as low as HK$2.7 million, or HK$9,000 per sq ft, which is based on the discounted land premium under the current HOS scheme plus construction cost.

Buyers will only be required to pay a down payment of HK$135,000, 5 per cent of the unit’s price.

The developer also proposed an innovative home loan scheme to alleviate the financial burden of the targeted buyers. Purchasers only require to pay 50 per cent of the flat’s cost when the flat is due for delivery, while the remaining 50 per cent can be paid 10 years after the occupation in one go or in instalments.

The proposed home financing scheme has received positive response from banks and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, according to the statement issued by New World Build for Good.

“Young families are increasingly finding it difficult to get on the property ladder, and the waiting time for public housing is getting longer,” said the statement.

The average waiting time for a public housing flat in Hong Kong has increased to 6.1 years, the longest since 1998, according to official figures released last Thursday.

Chief Executive-elect John Lee Ka-chiu has proposed an advance allocation scheme under which flats at selected public housing estates could be offered to families on the waiting list before infrastructure and transport facilities are completed. Lee said he hoped to make the projects available a year earlier than expected.

An NWD spokeswoman said the subsidised housing project would occupy half of the site, and the remaining area would continue to be used as an open space for the public and warehouse for storing art.

“NWD has no plan to build a private residential project on the other half of the plot,” she said.

Hong Kong developers’ rural land conversion in New Territories gathers pace, expect to push for lower land premium due to softening market

Sun Hung Kai Properties pays HK$268 million (US$34 million) to convert farmland in Yuen Long into a residential project

Developers with large holdings in the northern New Territories are likely to negotiate for a lower land premium, analysts say

Hong Kong developers are speeding up the conversion of farmland in the northern New Territories for residential use, with industry observers pointing out that companies are likely to push for lower land premiums due to the softening housing market.

Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s largest developer by market value, last week agreed to pay HK$268 million (US$34 million) to convert farmland in Yuen Long so that it can build a 71-villa project.

Seven land-premium transactions, including that of SHKP, totalling HK$3.3 billion have taken place in Yuen Long, Lands Department records show. The seven plots will provide a total gross floor area of 890,000 square feet.

Land premium is the fee that developers pay the government when a modification or change in land use results in a higher land value.

While there is no fixed fee charged for the land conversion premium, the government arrives at the value by taking into account recent transaction prices in both the housing market as well as the land sales market.

“Both housing and land markets actually indicate a declining trend in recent months because of the volatility in the stock market, increase in the unemployment rate and expectations of an interest-rate rise,” a property agent said.

“This puts developers in a relatively strong position to argue for a lower land premium level,” the agent said.

Hong Kong developers have recently turned conservative in bidding for government land following a decline in home prices, which have retreated 4 per cent from their peak last September. Last month, the government withdrew the sale of a 1.3 million sq ft site in Tai Lam in the northern New Territories, which would have yielded an estimated 2,020 homes, after all tender bids came in below the reserve price.

Surveyors had estimated the site, Hong Kong’s first plot earmarked for residential flats with a minimum area of 280 square feet, to fetch between HK$7.1 billion and HK$9 billion, or HK$5,500 to HK$6,900 per square foot in the tender.

“The strategy of many developers, particularly the bigger ones, is to retop their land banks by converting agricultural land into residential use in addition to the government land sales,” the agent said.

The government’s land sale programme for the current financial year ending March 2023 covers 13 residential sites, which will be able to provide 8,000 flats, according to Secretary for Development Michael Wong Wai-lun.

While the government’s projected supply of new flats is up from 6,000 in the last financial year, the supplies are under 10,000 for the fifth consecutive year.

With the northern New Territories the focus of future development in Hong Kong, “developers with large holdings in the area will become more active in negotiating land premiums”, a surveyor said.

Last October, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor proposed to develop the Northern Metropolis, which includes the northern New Territories, into a booming economic and residential hub for 2.5 million people over the next 20 years. The plans involves construction of up to 926,000 flats, including the existing 390 000 homes in Yuen Long and North districts, to accommodate the residents.

Currently, about 100 million sq ft of rural land is owned by various developers, according to a property agency.

“Now they see an opportunity to turn the land into residential development sites through the land premium settlement scheme,” agent said.

第五波疫情持续放缓，带动甲厦租务交投转活。消息指，由金利丰行政总裁朱李月华持有的中环中心高层单位，于交吉约3年后，以每呎约80元租出，与旧租金相若。

物业交吉约3年

市场消息指出，中环中心6110室，建筑面积约2487方呎，新以每呎约80元租出，月租约198960元；据业内人士指出，上址于上一手租户于2018年8月以每呎约80元租用，惟于2019年中弃租离场，故上址交吉近三年再度租出。

事实上，中环中心近期频录承租，资料显示，由外号「小巴大王」马亚木持有的中环中心5106至7室，建筑面积约4233方呎，早前以每呎约80元续租，月租约338640元，上址于早前由同一商户以每呎约95元租用，较旧租金下调15.7%，但已属贴市水平。

金利丰朱李月华持有

同区交易广场一座亦录承租个案，消息指，该甲厦2801至2室，建筑面积约2886方呎，新以每呎约145元租出，月租4184元。

消息指，摆花街46号中晶商业大厦低层，属银主物业，建筑面积约2161方呎，以约3500万成交，呎价约16196元。上一手业主于2017年1月以3014.3万购入，物业于5年间升值约485.7万，升幅约16%。

本报昨日率先披露，九龙湾高银金融国际中心将标售，该项目最终由一间外资代理行负责招标，写字楼及零售楼面合共约92万方呎，由接管人委託出售，该代理行指出，项目录多组财团查询。

高银金融国际中心位处九龙湾启祥道17号，该行代理指，该厦扣除高银自用楼面，出租率约6成，呎租约27至30元，租客主要为跨国企业。项目早前已录多组财团查询，以本地财团为主，亦有来自海外，内地财团比例较小。

总楼面约92万方呎

该厦楼高28层，另地下3层，包括地面大堂入口层、1楼至2楼餐饮楼层，写字楼及零售楼面共92万方呎，4楼至27楼写字楼，每层建筑面积约3.5万方呎；27楼上方为天台空中花园，物业尚有3个地库停车场楼层 (B1至B3)，提供279个车位，全部配备电动车充电装置。项目于7月21日截标。

赤柱广场逾25亿获洽购 5名準买家角逐料短期内揭盅

疫市下，大手买卖表现毫不逊色，尤其外资基金愈战愈勇，领展旗下的赤柱广场，获五名準买家积极角逐，其中有出价逾25亿，结果有机会于短期内揭盃。

是次该宗洽购别具意义，显示疫市下，实力买家仍眾多，消息人士透露，今年1月底，一家基金看中赤柱广场，有意以约27亿承接，并透过大型代理行与领展接洽，领展因而公布标售物业。

不料第五波疫情来得激烈，该家基金突然退缩，着实令代理「一额汗」。

领展：相关工作进行中

不过，代理咬实牙关四处找客，意外地，该项目截收5张标书，虽然出价与领展意向还有距离，不过，在进入第二轮洽谈当中，最新有準买家出价高逾25亿，令该宗一度面临泡汤的买卖，出现争夺激烈场面，儘管卖方索价仍硬净，买卖重现生机，结果有机会于短期内揭盅。

本报昨日向领展查询，发言人回应，有关本集团邀请买家表达对购买赤柱广场意向，相关工作仍进行中，若交易得以落实，将正式公布。

外资基金準买家佔大比数

市场消息续说，今番投标数目之多，是代理努力成果，而今番外资基金佔大比数，外资客对赤柱特别有情意结，一併出售的，亦包括赤柱广场旁的美利楼，属维多利亚时期建筑物，由金鐘重置到赤柱。

约40家商铺悉数出租

本报记者于过去周末走访该商场，见人流量相当不俗，以家庭客为主，外籍人士佔两至三成，该商场由地下至5楼，约40间商铺悉数出租，上层商户以时装店及精品百货为主导，1楼及2楼设大型超市及多间食肆，地下聚集酒吧，不少外籍人士于此驻足消遣。

盛滙商铺基金创办人李根兴评论道，港岛南区聚集外籍人士，与外国生活环境相若，而赤柱环境及气氛，向来更受外籍人士垂青。

领展于今年2月11日公布，接获有潜在买家洽购旗下赤柱广场，物业估值逾14亿，为了卖出更好价钱，决定公开招标，项目包括购物中心部分、户外表演场地的閒情坊、170多年的历史建筑美利楼，以及停车场泊位。负责招标的代理行指，拟出售物业楼面面积约19万平方呎，出租率逾95%。

据领展资料显示，赤柱广场内部楼面面积为9.8万方呎，拥有411个车位，年租金逾7100万，截至去年9月底，其估值逾14亿，佔领展总资产组合不足1%。

Cotton On设中环旗舰店 租金跌逾半

皇后大道中万呎铺每月50万 属同区搬迁

铺位租金持续下跌，不少跨国品牌趁机换货，澳洲时装品牌Cotton On以50万元，租用中环皇后大道中近1万呎铺位，属同区搬迁。该店原由Esprit租用，迁出近两年后铺位终获承接，按呎租计租金跌逾半。

市场消息指，中环录得一宗大额商铺租务成交，涉及皇后大道中永恆商业大厦两层，面积约9,722平方呎，以约50万元租出，呎租约51元，料作品牌旗舰店。该铺位处中环核心零售段皇后大道中，对面为中环街市及日本超市Donki，属区内人流颇畅旺地段。

消息透露，新租客为澳洲时装店Cotton On，该品牌早于十多年前落户香港，并租用中环德己立街2至12号业丰大厦地下A、B铺连地库，即兰桂坊一带，铺位面积约8,380平方呎。据悉，两年前品牌与业主大鸿辉续约，月租由110万元，减逾2成至约85万元，续约两年。如今约满，品牌趁同区有其他大楼面铺位招租，即作出搬迁。

上手租客Esprit 呎租近118元

翻查资料，永恆商业大厦多层铺位，曾由本地时装Esprit租用，品牌于2014年以约200万元租用该厦地下、高层地下及地库，合共约1.7万平方呎楼面，呎租约117.6元。2020年本港爆发疫情，零旅客下多个时装品牌弃租皇后大道中铺位，而Esprit亦迁出，铺位一直未有长租客租用，仅有口罩店短租数月。如今Cotton On租用物业两层，按呎租计，新租金较旧租金跌逾半。

随着疫情缓和，核心区商铺租务稍为增加，中环近一年租务成交亦较其他核心区为多，如同区娱乐行地下一铺位，面积约2,400平方呎，获时装品牌「Love Bonito」租用，月租料约30万元。该品牌曾于同区H Queen开设期间限定店，如今长租娱乐行铺位。

娱乐行地铺 月租料30万元

据悉，早年名车品牌平治以约450万元租用上址及比邻铺位，品牌迁出后，去年铺位曾获糖果店短租。

近年区内较大手时装品牌租铺，为去年陆海通大厦地下及1楼两层，获时装American Eagle以近100万元承租，租金跌逾6成。

湾仔3政府大楼 可增建250万呎楼面

湾仔北一带有不少指标商厦及政府相关设施，而随着东铁綫过海段通车、会展站落成，该带的潜力更进一步提升。环顾政府近年研究腾空以转作商业用途的3幅湾仔北地皮，预计日后可以新增约250万平方呎总楼面面积。

落实重建为会展酒店及甲厦

据2017年《施政报告》公布，位于湾仔北的3座政府大楼项目，包括湾仔政府大楼、税务大楼、入境事务大楼，及港湾消防局用地，落实重建为会展设施、酒店和甲级写字楼等。据区议会文件所示，上述组成的重建地盘面积166,239平方呎，以地积比率15倍重建，其可建楼面面积高达约249.4万平方呎，估计楼高可达52层，其中最低10层将发展为会议及展览楼面，涉约92.6万平方呎，而中间的27层则重建为甲级商厦，总楼面达97万平方呎。

至于项目最高15层，则作为酒店用途，涉及约57万平方呎总楼面，将会提供近500间客房。综合市场资讯，去年地皮估值约逾500亿元，即每呎楼面地价逾2万元。值得一提的是，现时的港湾消防局已经落实重置于已在2月正式关闭的湾仔分域码头。

而会展站上盖本已改划为「综合发展区」用途，拟作新会议中心。不过，因计划涉及多重技术困难、不确定的施工期，及不合乎成本效益的考虑，因此2020年《施政报告》已经宣布决定搁置计划，并把会展站上盖转作其他用途。但是，当局未有落实将改作住宅或商业用途。

金鐘大厦申强拍 市值逾8亿

另外，骆克道219至227号的前湾仔已婚警察宿舍用地，亦计划连同前方的前湾仔警署项目合併推出，并有机会重新再纳入未来的卖地表内，以发展成一个商业及酒店等混合项目。值得留意是，由于警署属于二级历史建筑物，将只容许改装为活化酒店，整项目总楼面涉约25.5万平方呎。

另一方面，鑑于湾仔的交通配套发展成熟，而且邻近港岛核心商业地段，多年来吸引各大发展商及财团积极收购区内旧楼，其中本地老牌家族永伦集团，近期就湾仔谢斐道52至58号金鐘大厦正式入纸申请强拍。集团已经集合该项目约86.67%业权，项目现况市值约8.43亿元。

东铁綫过海段于过去周日已经正式通车，业界预期通车可带动沿綫物业住宅楼价及写字楼租售价，其中有财团看準该优势，近期推售位于湾仔谢斐道的商厦楼花项目。

Novo Jaffe 入场费800餘万

在东铁綫过海段的利好因素下，宏基资本 (02288) 旗下湾仔谢斐道218号商厦新盘 Novo Jaffe 近日推出，合共提供58伙，预计入场费约800餘万元，平均呎价约1.8万元起。据消息人士指，项目中低层全层已获预留。同时，有指外资基金凯龙瑞旗下的湾仔轩尼诗道重建项目Hennessy 333，亦準备于短期内推出。

据市场研究报告指，虽然近期的商厦市场气氛好转，但4月份整体甲厦市场售价及租金均录得轻微下跌，分别按月跌0.1%及0.3%。其中，港岛核心区如中环的甲厦4月平均呎租为63.1元，按月下跌4.3%，而湾仔平均呎租录50.1元，按月跌1.3%。不过，受惠东铁綫过海段通车，港岛核心商业区一带交通网络变得更完善，加上疫情逐步受控，预计带动中环及金鐘甲厦的租赁交投量上升。

Goldin Financial’s Kowloon HQ put back on the market for around US$1.27 billion as debt struggle continues

Receivers for Goldin Financial Global Centre, a 28-storey office building in Kowloon Bay

The sale comes as billionaire major shareholder Pan Sutong lost control of Goldin’s assets to creditors.

The old headquarters of Goldin Financial Holdings has been put back on the market at an estimated price of around US$1.27 billion, as the property development and investment company’s debt crisis rolls on.

The receivers for Goldin Financial Global Centre, a 28-storey office building in Kowloon Bay, have assigned a real estate agency company to help sell the property.

“We will have a roadshow to market the building for local and international funds later,” a property agent told the South China Morning Post.

Market watchers estimate the property’s value at around HK$10 billion (US$1.27 billion) based on recent transactions of office space sold in the vicinity, ranging from HK$10,000 per square foot to HK$12,000 per square foot.

The sale comes as billionaire major shareholder Pan Sutong lost control of Goldin’s assets to creditors as the company struggles to service its massive debt pile.

Goldin recorded a loss of around HK$1.4 billion as liabilities reached HK$7.5 billion as of June 30, 2021. The Hong Kong-listed company postponed its annual results for 2021, citing disruptions caused by Covid-19 and related restrictions.

In 2020, receivers sold the building – located at 17 Kai Cheung Road, Kowloon Bay – for a reported HK$14 billion, but the deal failed to complete.

The Grade A tower has an area of 920,000 sq ft, spread across 28 floors above ground and three basement floors, according to the agency’s press release on Tuesday. Each floor has a gross floor area of around 35,000 sq ft. The tender will close at noon on Saturday, the agency said.

Goldin, among the most aggressive asset acquirers in Hong Kong in recent years, has been embroiled in a legal fight with hostile creditors over loan disputes. Goldin bought Kai Tak Area 4B Site 4 for HK$8.91 billion in November 2018, and another commercial site there for HK$11.1 billion in May 2019.

CK Asset Holdings, controlled by the family of Hong Kong’s famous billionaire Li Ka-shing, in July 2020 stepped in to help the indebted developer, arranging a HK$8.7 billion financing package to bail out the company.

Goldin had to bear an estimated loss of HK$2.57 billion (US$331.56 million) in May 2020, re-selling a residential plot at Kai Tak, the city’s former airport, citing the gloomy outlook as Covid-19 ravaged the city’s economy.

Clinics, car dealers snap up prime space as luxury brands bow out of Hong Kong’s slumping retail market

Human Health signed a six-year lease for HK$95 million to lease a 38,000-sq ft space at Star House in TST for one its 50 clinics in Hong Kong

Maserati took up a 9,000-sq ft show room at the H&S building in Causeway Bay while Porsche is moving to Hopewell Centre 2 in Wan Chai

Private clinics and car dealers are snapping up retail space around Hong Kong that had been vacated by luxury brands, giving commercial landlords some relief amid an industry slump caused by the dearth of tourists and competition from online shopping.

Human Health Holdings, which runs a network of 50 clinics around Hong Kong, signed a six-year contract for HK$95 million (US$12.1 million) in the first quarter to lease a 38,000-square foot (3,530 square metres) space at Star House in Tsim Sha Tsui, according to a property agency. The space was vacated by SaSa Plus after its lease expired in November 2020.

Maserati, the Italian sports car assembler, took up a 9,000-sq ft show room at the H&S building in Causeway Bay, left vacant by Mercedes-Benz. Its German competitor Porsche is closing its showroom on Gloucester Road in Wan Chai to move to Hopewell Centre 2, becoming one of the first tenants in the new development.

Rental charges at prime street locations and shopping centres have fallen by 5 per cent in the first quarter according to another property agency, giving non-luxury retailers and service providers the pick of choice locations in what is still one of the world’s most expensive real estate markets. Vacancy in Hong Kong’s four core shopping districts of Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Central and Mong Kok rose to 11 per cent in the first quarter, from 9.9 per cent at the start of 2022, according to another agency.

“With the ageing population and the Covid-19 pandemic, the locals are more health conscious,” an agent said. “The significant drop for the street level shops has attracted more medical service providers to explore street shop opportunities and increase exposure. For luxury car brands, it is more about relocation and flight to quality.”

Hong Kong’s economy contracted by a larger-than-expected 4 per cent in the first quarter, with retail sales declining by 7.6 per cent during the first three months. As many as 829 shops of the 7,524 shops surveyed by the agency stood empty at the end of March.

The vacancy rate and the cheaper rent – the highest in nearly two decades – helped Porsche, Maserati as well as Mercedes-Benz capitalise on the situation to have their choice of prime areas, the agency said.

Tourists and shoppers from mainland China – who spent HK$7,029 (US$905) each in 2018 – have stayed away from Hong Kong since the second half of 2019, driven away by months of anti-government street protests, and later by the Covid-19 pandemic. Hong Kong’s border with Shenzhen had remained closed for two years, keeping away the regular travellers who used to make up between 30 per cent and 40 per cent of the city’s retail sales.

Hong Kong’s luxury retail market is changing, as consumers change their behaviour and preferences, which compel brands to shift their strategies to adapt, agent said.

“The Hong Kong retail market changes all the time, [so] it is important to keep refreshing strategies and to adapt to the new market environment,” the agent said. “Landlords are more flexible in terms of rents and lease period [for now]. Shopping centre landlords are also providing more marketing support to tenants.”

Retailers are also likely to employ a two-prong strategy that will allow them to employ shops in core districts and residential areas or create two distinct brands for the premier shopping districts and neighbourhood shops.

“There will be a structural change in the Hong Kong retail market,” another agent said. “Online sale is playing a more significant role in the retail market due to changes in consumer behaviour. Future retail space will be focusing more on experience.”

Henderson set to launch Baker Circle, one of Hong Kong’s largest urban residential redevelopment projects

Sales of flats in the first phase of Baker Circle are likely to take place in June, Henderson executive says

The company plans to offer 1,000 flats in the first phase of the project on Gillies Avenue South, Hung Hom

Henderson Land Development is expected to kick off sales of an urban residential redevelopment project next month, one of the biggest by a private developer in Hong Kong.

Henderson, founded by Hong Kong’s second-richest man Lee Shau-kee, could launch the first phase of the 2,800-unit Baker Circle in Hung Hom for sale by June at the earliest, Thomas Lam, general manager of sales department, said on Tuesday.

This is the largest residential redevelopment project in the past 30 years by a private developer in terms of number of homes according to surveyors employed by the company, Henderson said.

“[Lee hopes] this project will let him contribute to society, having worked in property development for so many years,” said Lam. “In his heart, he [wants to] make the project great as he believes this to be the most important milestone of his career.”

The imminent launch comes on the heels of the opening of the East Rail’s cross-harbour section, which has cut the travel time from Hung Hom to Admiralty to 7 minutes.

The first phase of the nine-tower Baker Circle project is located at Gillies Avenue South, 10 minutes’ walking distance from Whampoa Garden. The first phase comprises 1,000 units in three towers and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2024.

While the first phase will mostly include one and two-bedroom units, Lam declined to provide further details.

The company expects to complete the entire project, which consists of eight construction sites, around 2027.

The city’s lived-in home prices slipped 3.2 per cent from December to March amid the fifth wave of the Covid-19 outbreak, data from the Rating and Valuation Department showed. But the recent easing of social distancing measures following a steady decline in cases has seen investors rush to buy flats at many new residential projects.

Henderson has spent more than 20 years and billions of dollars on property acquisitions for Baker Circle, which will have a total gross floor area of about 1 million square feet. It will include an almost 1km long pedestrian street inspired by London’s King’s Cross. The once derelict industrial site has been transformed and rejuvenated into a vibrant, traffic-free neighbourhood with new streets, squares and parks, homes, shops, offices, galleries, bars, restaurants and schools.

“The small flat sizes can attract young buyers and professionals who work in the urban area, so the project has a ‘definite appeal’,” an agent said.

The pedestrian street is an added attraction since it is rare in Hong Kong, the agent added.

The Hong Kong-listed company has been one of the most active developers seeking redevelopment opportunities in urban areas amid limited land supply from the government.

To facilitate urban renewal, majority owners of a building over 50 years old who satisfy requirements under the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance can apply to the Lands Tribunal for an order for compulsory sale.

Under the ordinance, developers can force a compulsory auction to buy the remaining stake in a building, if they already own 80 per cent.

Notably, the project sits on a rare 999-year lease that came into effect from March 21, 1887. Baker Circle was named after Robert Baker, the chief engineer of Kowloon-Canton Railway.

Henderson to build 994 Kwu Tung flats

Henderson Land Development (0012) plans to build 994 flats in Kwu Tung and will soon launch a new project in Hung Hom.

The developer has proposed a minor relaxation of plot ratio and building height restriction for a development in the Kwu Tung North new development area, according to an application filed to Town Planning Board.

The site covers 5,250 square meters, and two 34-story blocks with a total gross floor area of 34,125 sq m are expected to be built upon it.

Meanwhile, Henderson's new redevelopment project in Hung Hom with 1,000 flats has been named Baker Circle and may be put on the market as early as next month.

The three-block project has mostly one- and two-bedroom units and is located at 38 Gillies Avenue South.

It is phase 1 of a 2,800 mega redevelopment across Gillies Avenue, Whampoa Street, Bulkeley Street, and Baker Street, which will be developed in three phases, providing a gross floor area of more than 1 million sq ft.

Phase 2 is expected to be launched in 2024 and the whole project will be built after 2027, the developer said.

This came as the Buildings Department said it approved 13 building plans in March, including Henderson's and Swire Properties' (0012) plan of constructing two 28-story complexes in Quarry Bay.

The two buildings will provide 34,219.4 sq m of residential space and 6,721.7 sq m for commercial use.

Separately, some completed units of luxury project Bisney Crest in Pok Fu Lam has opened to the public for viewing, said the developer Chinachem Group.

疫情走势放缓，带动甲厦租务交投转活。消息指，上环信德中心西座中层单位，于交吉约9个月后，以每呎约48元租出，属贴市价水平。

属贴市价水平

市场消息指，上环信德中心西座中层10室，建筑面积约1150方呎，新以每呎约48元租出，月租约5.52万。据代理指，上址早前为业主自用物业，惟于去年9月交吉至今，最新呎租属贴市价水平。

代理指，市场交投气氛炽热，资金对后市转持乐观态度，荃湾区内优质物业被受追捧，逐渐形成CBD3(第3个核心商业区)，加上疫情回稳，政府提早放宽防疫措施，工商业活动陆续恢復，相信后市仍平稳发展，写字楼和新型工厦的买卖及租赁活动逐步增加。

代理表示，西营盘正街18号啟正中心高层全层，建筑面积介乎约271方呎至全层2065方呎，意向售价介乎346.9万至2643.2万，呎价1.28万。

罗守辉1350万沽观塘地铺持货10年升值近1倍

据代理指出，由裕泰兴家族成员罗守辉持有的观塘云汉街45号地铺连入则阁，铺位建筑面积1431方呎，另设阁楼建筑面积510方呎，以1350万售出，呎价约9433元(不计阁楼)，原业主于2012年4月以680万买入，持货10年帐面获利约670万，物业期间升值约0.98倍。该铺由车房以约3.5万租用，料买家享回报约3.1厘。

事实上，自疫情于上月放缓后，罗守辉频频沽货，资料显示，罗氏于本月沽出深水埗白杨街25E至25F号恆成大楼地铺连入则阁，建筑面积约1371方呎，作价2160万，平均呎价15755元，他于2019年8月以1800万买入，持货约3年帐面获利约360万，升幅约20%，租客Project B为西式餐厅，月租4.2万，租期至2023年10月，回报约2.29厘。

西洋菜南街每呎122元跌67%零售商签2年长约租金平过沙士时

市场消息指，旺角西洋菜南街136号地铺，建筑面积约900方呎，最新以11万租出，租约为期两年，平均呎租约122元。据地产代理指出，上址于2015年起由韩国化妆品牌以约34万租用，呎租高达377元，2017年中租约届满撤出，该铺交吉达4年之久，直至去年底获时装店短租至今，故最新租金较上一手长租急挫约67%。

每月租金11万

据大型代理行资料显示，上述铺位早于2003年至2006年期间，由甜品店以约14.3万租用，所以，最新租金较「沙士」时期低逾20%，反映现今核心区的铺市疲弱不堪。该铺位邻近西洋菜南街及亚皆老街交界，毗邻旺角港铁站出入口，为旺角区内最核心地段之一。

沙士时租14.3万

代理分析指，随疫情放缓带动，连锁零售商纷趁势抢租核心区一綫地段，现时租金已见底，租户倾向以长约锁定租金，由于吉铺数量仍处高水平，短期内整体铺租升幅轻微。

事实上，受疫情打击，旺角西洋菜南街铺租早已大幅下滑，该街道8号至50号地铺及阁楼，建筑面积约3600方呎，交吉仅约一个月，本月获英国化妆品牌LUSH以约50万租用，租期约三年，呎租约138元。

该铺早前获连锁时装店Bossini于去年4月以约25万短租上址，租期仅一年，今年3月约满迁出，再上一手租户为韩国化妆品Laneige，于2016年取代卓悦进驻，当时租金高达120万，故最新租金较长租急挫约58%。

大道中铺月租50万减50%

此外，市场消息指出，中环皇后大道中永恆商业大厦两层，总楼面约9722方呎，新获澳洲时装品牌以50万租用，呎租约51.4元，较旧租金急挫逾50%。

事实上，新蒲岗区内新型工厦不多，但租务成交亦算活跃，据代理网页显示，新蒲岗区内工厦今年以来录暂300宗租务成交，平均呎租介乎约11至23元不等，而市场新录得新科技广场中层单位，面积约1,096平方呎，以每平方呎约19元租出，月租约2.08万元，另，利景工业大厦低层，面积约820平方呎，以约1.5万元租出，平均呎租18元。

集两铁之便 尽享地利

代理续称，该项目由新世界集团匠心打造，信心之选；加上项目尽享地利优势，附近有多条巴士及小巴路綫外，港铁钻石山站及啟德站亦只是咫尺之遥。代理认为，Artisan Lab为新蒲岗区提供工业楼面，物业配套设施齐备，具上佳地理位置，加上呎租相宜，尤其适合各行各业进驻。而新蒲岗配合啟德发展区产生协同效应，随着新盘陆续落成，带来庞大的潜在消费力，租赁需求愈趋强劲，相信将会有不少企业租客有意率先抢佔优质地段开业，料洽租情况反应会见热烈。

火炭嘉里货仓全幢 24亿洽至尾声

呎价约5581元 买家华润物流呼声高

货仓近1年成投资焦点，发展商趁机放售非核心物业。嘉里 (00683) 放售旗下火炭嘉里 (沙田) 货仓全幢，据悉获24亿元洽购至尾声，有望短期内易手，消息称以华润物流夺得物业呼声较高。

市场消息指，嘉里早前放售嘉里 (沙田) 货仓，物业位于火炭山尾街36至42号，对面为近年入伙的骏洋邨，楼高18层，每层面积约2.8万平方呎，总楼面面积约43万平方呎，并提供约64个车位。

据了解，该物业现时出租率理想，呎租约12至14元，主要为物流行业租用。市场人士指，业主早前暗盘放售物业，并获多个财团洽购，其中一财团出价约24亿元，呎价约5,581元，贴近业主意向价，有望短期内易手。

华润去年斥近30亿入市

消息指，洽购财团不乏外资基金及用家，包括近期积极入市的华润物流。该集团去年活跃，先后向邓成波家族购入屯门及粉岭工厦。涉及屯门东亚纱厂工业大厦第一期全幢，以及粉岭安乐门街35至37号勉励龙中心全幢，分别涉约22.42亿及6.95亿元，合共近30亿元。

事实上，该集团于同区亦持有工厦，涉及火炭禾香街2至10号华润物流 (沙田冷仓)，料是次再于同区增持工厦，作集团物流仓之用，预计夺得物业呼声较高。另外，由于物业楼底较高，加上火炭适合发展数据中心，故亦有基金曾研究物业作改装数据中心。

嘉里近两年不时沽售非核心物业，包括荃湾、土瓜湾铺位，以及九龙湾企业广场商厦单位等。

工厦成焦点 屡录大额成交

随着近期疫情缓和，大额物业交投转好，工厦再度成为投资焦点，市场近期录得数宗全幢工厦成交。包括葵涌货柜码头路43号集运中心全幢，以近29亿元成交，物业总楼面面积约26.62万平方呎，呎价高见1.09万元，为区内工厦呎价新高。新买家为美资基金Nuveen旗下Asia Pacific Cities Fund (APCF)。另外，粉岭业畅街6号新中国洗衣集团大厦全幢以约4.5亿元易手，物业总面积约101,463平方呎，呎价约4,435元。买家为外资基金Heitman，购入转作冻仓用途。

Tai Po project gears for sales

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said the presale consent for Silicon Hill in Tai Po has been granted and sales could take place within the month.

The project offers studio to three-bedroom units with spaces ranging from 217 square feet to 851 sq ft, of which, flats with two bedrooms account for more than half, the developer said. Show flats, which are under preparation, will open to the public shortly, SHKP added.

In Kowloon City, the 70 flats at Allegro on sale on Saturday were nearly five times oversubscribed with around 400 checks, according to the builder Country Garden (2007).

In Tseung Kwan O, a new price list with at least 312 homes at Manor Hill will be revealed soon and the new round of sales will take place this month, said the developer Kowloon Development (0034).

It added that it has raked in nearly HK$3.2 billion after selling 519 units and its Sai Ying Pun project with no more than 200 flats will be launched next year.

疫情持续放缓，带动甲厦租务交投转活，惟租金跌势未止。中环皇后大道中9号高层单位，交吉近一年后，以每呎约70元租出，较旧租金急挫约32%，租金回报仅1.5厘；据业内人士指出，中港两地通关无期，加上市场亦受加息阴霾及俄乌战争等因素困扰，料核心区甲厦租金于短期内仍备受压力。

市场消息指出，中环皇后大道中9号高层6室，建筑面积约2980方呎，新以每呎约70元租出，月租约208600元。据代理指出，上址位处大单边，外望礼宾府景致，上一手租金为每呎103元，惟租户于去年6月撤出交吉，单位于丢空近一年再度租出，租金急挫约32%。代理亦透露，业主于2018年9月以约1.635亿购入，以新租金计，回报1.53厘，属偏低水平。

属单边优质单位

有代理指，现今甲厦整体租金报约2厘水平，儘管本港疫情持续放缓，惟中港两地至今仍然通关无期，加上内地疫情仍然严峻，令甲厦租务需求仍然疲弱，加上美国联储局早前宣布加息半厘，亦预期会持续缩减资产负债表规模，加上俄乌战争持续发酵，令甲厦租务市场观望气氛挥之不去，料核心区甲厦租金于短期内仍备受压力。

业内人士指，于2017年及2018年商厦高峰期，皇后大道中9号呎租普遍逾100元，即使于2019年，政治事件引发动乱期间，皇后大道中9号仍能力保100元水平，惟现今该厦平均呎租已大幅回落至每呎50餘元至70元水平。

上手租金每呎103元

此外，核心区亦录另一宗甲厦租金大幅下滑个案，消息指，金鐘力宝中心一座中层3室，建筑面积约1790方呎，新以每呎36元租出，月租约64440元。据悉，上址于上一手租于2017年底以每呎61.5元租出，租约于2019年初届满交吉，故单位丢空3年半后再度租出，租金急挫约41%。

力宝中心每呎36元租出减41%

尖沙嘴新东海商业中心低层1室，面积3194呎，以3513.4万沽，呎价1.1万，原业主于1993年2235.8万购入，持货29年帐面获利1277.6万。

至于空置率方面，中环空置率新报7.4%，较3月的7.3%按月微升，九龙东空置率12.8%，仍然为各主要分区市场中最高，整体市场空置率维持在9.4%；中环租金月内微升0.1%，尖沙嘴则按月跌0.9%，属分区市场中最大租金跌幅。

中环空置率录按月微升

该行代理表示，儘管本港首季普遍公司均採取在家工作模式，甲级写字楼租赁需求仍然保持稳定，随著政府四月份起放宽社交距离措施，愈来愈多公司重投市场物色新办公室，市场气氛将持续改善。

该行另一代理称，上月商铺投资市场亦稍为回升，录数宗大额成交，较瞩目的为私人投资者杨志超以1.7亿买入中环业丰大厦地下连阁楼商铺，以建筑面积约5200方呎计，呎价约32692元。

4工厦重建料获城规通过 可建楼面逾百万方呎

工厦活化计画备受市场追捧，最新有4宗工厦活化重建项目申请，涉及可建总楼面约105.06万方呎，当中最瞩目为伯恩光学总裁杨建文等人持有的观塘3幢工厦，申请合併重建为一幢楼高39层的商厦，均获规划署不反对，城规会今天将举行会议审理，料可获该会「开绿灯」通过。

由伯恩光学总裁杨建文等人持有的观塘3幢工厦，包括开源道75至77号的业发工业大厦1期及2期，以及巧明街119至121号的年运工业大厦，邻近观塘鱷鱼恤中心及apm等，去年9月曾向城规会申请合併发展，并放宽两成地积比率限制。

拟建一幢楼高39层商厦

项目地盘面积约5万方呎，地积比率由12倍增加至14.4倍，拟议重建为1幢楼高39层 (包括各1层的平台花园、防火层及空中花园，另有5层地库) 的商业大厦，其中地库1楼至10楼属零售餐饮用途，楼上则属于办公室用途，涉及总楼面约72万方呎；最新获规划署不反对，料可获城规会通过。

屯门2工厦将分拆重建

另外，由英皇国际持有的屯门新安街两幢工厦，即新安街13号的宝泰工业大厦，以及新安街15号的山龄工业大厦，早于2020年1月获批合併重建，去年10月该公司再向城规会递交新发展方案，将上述两工厦分拆作单独重建，该项目地盘面积同为1万方呎，上述两幢工厦分别重建为一幢楼高23层 (包括两层地库) 的新式工厦，可建总楼面约11.4万方呎，即两厦重建后合共可提供约22.8万方呎工业楼面；是次改划亦获规划署不反对，料可获通过。

至于由财团持有的葵涌蓝田街7至13号荣达工业大厦，去年曾向城规会申请略为放宽地积比率限制，以作准许的非污染工业用途 (不包括涉及使用/贮存危险品的工业经营)，地盘面积约9000方呎，重建为1幢不多于19层高的新式工厦，总楼面涉约10.26万方呎；该申请获规划署不反对，料可获通过。

港岛商厦吸引 实力投资者入市

本港近期疫情平稳，政府落实第二阶段放宽社交距离措施，商厦活动逐渐恢復。有代理行发表报告指出，4月份租务成交量反弹至近5个月高位，而50大指标甲厦成交量亦回升至1月份疫情较稳定时的水平，上月共录得9宗买卖。

现时甲级写字楼市场虽然初步录得正吸纳量，但租金水平仍处于低位，没有起色。报告指，上月甲厦租金录得轻微下跌，按月跌0.3%，当中港岛核心区如金鐘、中环的甲厦租金需调整以吸引租客，包括金鐘太古广场三期及中环中心高层单位，租金较之前低1至3成，导致中环区的甲厦租金按月挫4.3%，属跌幅最大的分区。

至于甲厦空置率亦属偏高，报告又指，4月份整体甲厦空置率为9.5%，东九龙甲厦空置率更升至14.7%，为各分区中最高，亦是自2021年11月份以来最高。反观乙级写字楼因为经过一轮企业收缩、重组，租金跌幅已经初步喘定，尤其是传统核心区，例如湾仔、铜锣湾、中环、上环、油尖旺等区域已经见底，乙厦相对而言更获投资者注视。

湾仔全新写字楼反应炽热

现时仍未见重大利好因素刺激商厦买卖市场，成交略见疲弱，但近期湾仔有个别独具特色的全新写字楼项目，反应炽热。由于港岛区已有一段时间缺乏写字楼新供应项目投入市场，部分拥有充裕资金的实力投资者现时或会将目光投放于港岛写字楼，用作自用或投资，区内写字楼对他们而言依然非常具吸引力。

再者，港岛核心商业区一带交通网络已日趋完善，东铁綫过海段早前正式通车，贯通新界东北、九龙中及港岛，由红磡延伸过海至港岛，瞬间直达湾仔北及金鐘一带的商贸、会展及金融中心，金鐘站更成为四綫滙聚的「超级转车站」，有望带动湾仔、中环及金鐘写字楼的租赁交投量上升，而新商厦项目步行至会展站及湾仔站只需约5分鐘，正可尽享两站滙聚优势，相信区内商贸气氛会更趋浓厚。

疫情缓和 核心区一綫街铺租务升

随着疫情持续缓和，商户重新租铺，在疫情下核心区一綫街吉铺处处，近日渐有起色，相继录得铺位租务成交。

近日核心零售区租务成交上升，特别一綫地段商铺，渐获零售商重新留意。中环核心一綫段皇后大道中连录租务成交，焦点落在皇后大道中永恆商业大厦2层，面积约9,722平方呎，以约50万元租出，呎租约51元。

新租客为澳洲时装店Cotton On，原租用同区德己立街2至12号业丰大厦地下A、B铺连地库，即兰桂坊一带，铺位面积约8,380平方呎。据悉，2年前品牌与业主大鸿辉续约，月租由110万元，减逾2成至约85万元，续约2年。如今约满，品牌趁同区有其他大楼面铺位招租，即作出搬迁。

Cotton On租大道中近万呎

翻查资料，永恆商业大厦多层铺位，曾由本地时装Esprit租用，品牌于2014年以约200万元租用该厦地下、高层地下及地库，合共约1.7万平方呎楼面，呎租约117.6元。2020年本港爆发疫情，零旅客下多个时装品牌弃租皇后大道中铺位，而Esprit亦迁出，铺位一直未有长租客租用，仅有口罩店短租数月。如今Cotton On租用物业2层，按呎租计，新租金较旧租金跌逾半。

另外，同区娱乐行地下一铺位，面积约2,400平方呎，获时装品牌「Love, Bonito」租用，月租料约30万元。该品牌曾于同区H Queen's开设期间限定店，如今长租娱乐行铺位。该铺早年曾由名车品牌平治以约450万元租用，品牌迁出后，去年铺位曾获糖果店短租。

前Burberry旗舰店 餐饮集团承接

至于铜锣湾区，一綫地段罗素街录大楼面租务，位于罗素街金朝阳中心地下A、B铺至1楼复式铺位，面积合共5,200平方呎，获餐饮集团承租，开设以动画「变形金刚」为主题的餐厅，为本港首间，据了解，由于铺位面积大，店内除了有餐饮外，更有零售区售卖变形金刚玩具及纪念品等。

该铺于10年前，获名牌Burberry以每月约770万元租用，租金较前租客 (手机品牌) 高2.5倍。品牌于2015年以880万元续租，其后租金回落，估计Burberry最后每月租金约200万元水平。如今餐饮集团以约100万元租用，较旧租平一半，较高峰期更跌近9成。

至于铜锣湾波斯富街77至83号地下Q号铺，面积约600平方呎，以约17万元租出，呎租约283元。铺位曾由药房以48万元租用，新租金跌逾6成。

分析指，随着疫情缓和，消费气氛转好，零售商及餐饮业亦有兴趣重新租铺，而核心区一綫地段铺租由高峰大幅回调，渐有吸引力，故租务增加。不过，由于尚未有通关消息，故涉及旅客消费的大型品牌，尚未积极扩充，故相信通关消费进一步落实，核心区铺位租务及租金才有明显反弹。

H&M再缩店 弃租尖沙咀新港中心

两层共2万呎铺 高峰期月租逾千万

第5波疫情冲击零售业，再有时装连锁店放弃核心区旗舰店。H&M租用逾10年的尖沙咀广东道新港中心两层铺位，决定弃租，佔地约两万平方呎，将于月底约满迁出，高峰期月租逾1,000万元。

H&M于疫情期间，先后放弃旺角、奥海城等3间分店，如今更放弃一綫地段旗舰店。据悉，尚未有新租客顶上，业主亦打算把铺位「化整为零」，分拆再招租。

业主拟「化整为零」 分拆再招租

尖沙咀新港中心地下及1楼，由时装店H&M租用多年，而该店近日进行清货大减价，全场货品半价，并预告今个月底结业。据了解，是次关闭后未有搬迁计划，意味品牌再度减分店。

新港中心位于尖沙咀广东道正中间，旺市时广东道为旅客必到之处，故商场向街铺位价值相当高。翻查资料，H&M铺位原由多个租客包括时装、餐厅等租用，2008年自由行旅客消费渐旺，业主把商场地下及1楼，合共约2万平方呎铺位，以约700万元租予H&M。其后品牌再续约，租金曾加至逾1,000万元。

数年前旅客消费已不復当年般强劲，租金普遍下跌，而品牌对上租约，估计已降至约300万元，而租约至今年5月完结，相信有见两年疫情严重冲击零售，品牌决定弃租。消息指，是次H&M迁出，尚未有新租客顶上，据了解业主有见近年复式店需求降，故相信把2万呎铺位分拆招租。

受疫情影响，近两年H&M不断缩减分店，当中不乏大型旗舰店，包括早年以900万租用旺角登打士街家乐坊多层铺位，合共5.4万平方呎，品牌于2020年迁出，如今换上超市、体育用品店等租用。

另外，H&M亦先后放弃奥海城、黄埔等分店，如今更弃租10多年黄金地段巨铺，目前在港仍有约10多间分店。而集团于本年3月亦再表示，今年将全球再关闭240间分店，同时新开95间，故仍净关闭145间，新开业店铺亦仅集中于新兴市场。

业界：网上销售抢年轻消费群

第5波疫情年初爆发，令零售市道受严重冲击，商铺租金再度下挫。据一间外资代理行资料显示，去年疫情缓和后，连续3季4大核心零售区中环、尖沙咀、旺角及铜锣湾，铺租未见下挫，更有个别地区及季度出现轻微回升。可是今年疫情爆发，更是空前严峻，商铺租金今年已跌约5%。

快速时装 (fast fashion) 近年有减分店趋势，另一代理认为，近年消费者选购快速时装，多透过网上平台，对品牌来说，网上销售既切合年轻消费群，同时不用租大楼面铺位作货品陈列，可节省租金开支。对业主来说，近年不少品牌放弃旗舰店后，因缺乏新品牌顶上租用全数楼面，变阵分拆再招租。

后市方面，另一代理认为，疫情反覆令商户租铺上会较为审慎，今年商铺租金料在低位徘徊。

本地消费撑市道 国际名牌未起动

放宽限聚令，本土消费回升，有利餐饮、家品等本土商户扩充，惟未通关情况下，国际连锁品牌及奢侈品，现只继续等待，令核心区铺位空置情况未有大改善。

疫情缓和，政府在上月先放宽限聚措施，餐厅晚市堂食重开，而昨日次阶段放宽措施落实，基本上所有处所现已重开，市民重新外出消费，加上4月中派发消费券，近一个月市面气氛明显向好。

食肆趁租金回调 扩充吸客

在租务市场方面，近一个月商铺租务稍转好，并集中在餐饮方面，餐厅趁租金回调，加上本地消费强劲，故租务较活跃。其次，涉及体育用品、家品店等，同样租务相对理想。由于目前仍未通关，港人尚未恢復外游，绝大部分仍留港消费，令餐厅、家品等生意上升，相关商户尚有扩充。

不过，核心区零售地段，仍是吉铺处处，尖沙咀广东道、铜锣湾罗素街两大最贵租地段，即使疫情缓和，缺乏大手新租务下，仍陆续有商户约满迁出。如今年罗素街已有鐘錶、首饰店等迁出，未有租客顶上。广东道是次H&M迁出外，比邻铺位原仍由名牌租3层，年初迁出后同样交吉至今。

核心区零售商生意来源主要为旅客，因游客消费一般较高，加上涉及奢侈品等高消费，商户承租能力较高，如今本港与外地通关尚未有时间表，单靠本地消费，大型品牌特别奢侈品，实在难以计数，故仍按兵不动。

相比之下，餐饮因有本地市场支持，故仍有扩充空间，惟承租能力远不及高级零售商，可承受每呎租金仅数十元，能够进驻核心区一綫地段个案少之又少，相信通关消费未进一步落实，核心区铺位空置率仍偏高。

Huge Kai Tak projects to offer 6,740 homes

Major housing projects at Kai Tak to be launched in the second half of this year will put as many as 6,740 homes on the market.

They include two projects with a total of 2,000 homes in Kai Tak co-developed by Wheelock Properties and other developers, two projects from K Wah International (0173) and one from Henderson Land Development (0012).

Also set for a second half launch is a project from Chinachem and MTRC (0066) in Ho Man Tin.

Wheelock said at an event yesterday that both the Area 4B Site 1 development - in partnership with Henderson and China Overseas Land & Investment (0688) - and Area 4B Site 3 development - with New World Development (0017) - are pending presale consents, and it plans to launch these projects in the third and fourth quarter of this year.

K Wah International also said it has two projects, which offer a total of more than 4,000 homes, in the area waiting for the presale approval at the same event.

Thomas Lam Tat-man, a general manager of Henderson's sales department, said its new project at 8 Muk Tai Street, which provides 740 homes, is expected to be put on the market in the second half as well.

Upper Riverbank, which has sold 557 units at an average price of HK$28,000 per square foot, still has 110 units left, said the developers KWG (1813) and Longfor (0960).

Most of the remaining units are huge flats with three or four bedrooms, and may be put up for sale via tender in the future, they said.

The two mainland developers also said they have teamed up and built a luxury project in Ap Lei Chau which could be launched in the third quarter at the earliest.

Separately, Chinachem chief Donald Choi Wun-hing said at another event that its Ho Man Tin project is expected to be launched in the second half and the developer remains confident in Hong Kong's property market.

Choi said the US interest rate hikes would not have much of an impact on the sector and the property prices will go up steadily in the future.

In Tai Po, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it will release the first price list for Silicon Hill next week at the earliest and expected to launch the sales by the end of this month.

In Cheung Sha Wan, The Symphonie has obtained the pre-sale consent and will reveal the sale brochures as early as next week, the developer Henderson said.

新世界近年在长沙湾区打造「甲厦商圈」，区内三甲厦项目提供楼面达220万方呎，逾5成楼面将作长綫收租用途。其中，荔枝角道888号率先入伙，累售楼面约75%，餘下楼面倾向出售，但若作出租用途，意向呎租约30元起，同时约241个私人停车位现正放售，定价由200万起。新世界发展资产及房地产组合管理总经理林浩文接受本报访问时指出，长沙湾近年发展迅速「变天」，激活区内商贸需求，因区内优质甲厦供应罕有，料未来五年区内甲厦租售价稳步上扬。

私人停车位200万起

林浩文指，集团旗下长沙湾荔枝角道888号，项目于2019年底开售，市场反应相当不俗，累售约75%楼面，以项目面积约58万方呎计，售出楼面逾43万方呎，近8成买家为用家或长綫投资者，买家包括金融、保险及大专等机构，当中较瞩目买家包括南洋商业银行及香港大学专业进修学院等知名机构，反映项目质素备受市场认同，平均成交呎价介乎1.5万至1.7万，项目待售单位多为优质物业，将採惜售态度，假如用作出租，意向呎租约30元起。

林氏亦指出，该项目约241个私人停车位于过去一个月于市场上放售，定价介乎200万至220万，市场反应相当热烈。资料显示，该项目于今年3月以1.428亿沽出公眾停车场，涉及70个私家车位、15个轻型货车位，每个车位成交价约168万。

琼林永康街项目明年底竣工

值得一提的是，该项目唯一零售铺位，建筑面积约500餘方呎，现正推出市场放租，目标租户为优质食肆品牌，近期已频获多家商户洽租查询，租金处磋商阶段。

林浩文指，早于上世纪六、七十年代，长沙湾区内以纺织及制衣业为主，惟近年区内有多个大型住宅新盘相继落成，推动区内发展迅速「变天」，区内各项配套渐见成熟。

三甲厦项目涉220万呎

至于同区琼林街及永康街项目，最快明年第四季竣工，分别提供楼面约120万及42万方呎，集团于区内三商厦项目，合共提供楼面达220万方呎，并逐步进入收成期，逾5成楼面将作长綫收租用途。

对于甲厦市场前景，林氏认为，儘管疫情持续发酵，惟优质甲厦物业需求殷切，长沙湾区内供应亦属罕有，加上交通等配套因素支持，激活需求持续增长，故市场正处成长期，区内甲厦租售价将稳步上扬，料未来5年间升幅约5%。他续指出，集团早于2017年起购入该商业项目地皮，当时已瞄準未来大湾区发展，因长沙湾位处本港中心地段，有利项目用家及租户往返机场及内地。

外资基金频大手购工厦酒店 今年暂录82亿较去年同期升41%

今年以来，外资基金连番在港大手扫货，根据本报统计，购入酒店及工厦各4宗，合共8宗，涉资共逾82亿，较去年同期升41%，尤其酒店交投远较去年畅旺。业界人士指，疫情下酒店受重击，基金买家趁势吸纳，期待通关后，需求回復正常，租售价势必上升；随着物流及数据中心需求殷切，后市更备受看好。

今年以来市场暂录6宗酒店买卖，基金佔4宗，涉资逾45亿，市佔率73%，WEAVE LIVING伙拍安祖高顿一连购入大角嘴九龙珀丽酒店及西环华丽都会酒店，涉资各14.20亿及9亿；红磡「逸．酒店」作价16.46亿，油麻地CASA酒店5.9亿成交，分别由两家外资基金购入。

盼通关后酒店需求復常

今年最瞩目工厦成交，为葵涌货柜码头路集运中心全幢，以约29亿易手，每呎1.09万，创区内工厦新高，更成为二手工厦高价指标，买家为美资基金Nuveen旗下Asia Pacific Cities Fund (APCF)，该基金首度在港插旗，重手出击令市场侧目。

比较去年，外资基金ESR斥18亿购入葵涌光辉冻仓，作价18亿，呎价5445元；万国数据亦以18亿购入的中央工业大厦，呎价仅5294元，可见今年价格上升。

物流数据中心需求殷切

除了上述美资基金外，今年出手购入工厦，包括加拿大基金公司Brookfield Asset Management Inc，向兴胜创建购入沙田工业中心单位及车位，涉资2.11亿，新加坡基金SilkRoad Property Partners，亦购入荃湾大成大厦3全层，涉资1.8亿。

去年同期，市场并未录基金购酒店记录，不过，基金于去年同期购入6项工厦，涉资逾48亿，较今年逾37亿为多；今年以来，基金购工厦及酒店共涉资82亿，对比去年合共48亿，按年升41%。

有代理表示，自从2019年中动乱以至疫情来袭，外资基金在港投资步伐减慢，不过，2020年中重新部署，至今表现活跃。

嘉里连沽2货仓 共46亿今年最大额

买家均为华润物流 近年多番买工厦

工厦成为投资焦点，嘉里 (00683) 表示，以约46.2亿元沽出旗下位于沙田及柴湾货仓物业，买家均为华润物流，成为今年最大额工厦买卖个案。

嘉里表示，与华润物流达成协议，出售旗下嘉里 (沙田) 货仓及嘉里 (柴湾) 货仓两项物业，作价分别23.3亿及22.9亿元，合共涉及约46.2亿元。以成交价计，为今年最大金额买卖。

疫情影响货仓营运 沽货套现

嘉里指，考虑到新冠疫情下的现行市况，集团的财务状况及货仓的营运表现，董事认为出售事项为公司提供了绝佳机会释放货仓价值，并认为出售不会对集团业务及营运产生重大影响。

两项物业均属货仓用途，嘉里 (沙田) 货仓位于火炭山尾街36至42号，对面为近年入伙的骏洋邨。沙田货仓楼高18层，总楼面面积约404,374平方呎。据了解，该物业现时出租率理想，呎租约12至14元，主要为物流行业租用。物业以23.3亿元易手，呎价约5,762元。

柴湾货仓作价22.9亿 呎售4393

另一物业为嘉里 (柴湾) 货仓，物业位于柴湾嘉业街50号，楼高15层，总楼面约521,253平方呎。数年前，嘉里物流 (00636) 曾作出申请，计划改装柴湾货仓为大型骨灰龕场，惟城规会指项目所在为活跃的作业海港，有货仓及工业用途，与申请人提出的土地用途不协调，亦忧减少工业用地供应等，否决有关申请。

今次以物业22.9亿元成交价计，呎价约4,393元。

是次两项物业买家华润物流，近两年活跃于工厦市场，多次大手购入工厦，包括去年向邓成波家族购入屯门及粉岭工厦，涉及屯门东亚纱厂工业大厦第一期全幢，以及粉岭安乐门街35至37号勉励龙中心全幢，分别涉约22.42亿及6.95亿元，合共近30亿元。如今再斥逾46亿元，购入两项物业，合共已斥逾75亿元扫工厦作自用。

Kerry Properties sells two godowns for $4.6b

Kerry Properties says it has entered into an agreement with China Resources Logistics to sell two warehouses for HK$4.62 billion.

Kerry said in a filing yesterday that one of its wholly owned subsidiaries plans to sell the Chai Wan warehouse for HK$2.29 billion and the Sha Tin warehouse for HK$2.33 billion.

The buyer, CRL, is an indirect wholly owned investment holding subsidiary of the state-owned conglomerate China Resources.

Chai Wan warehouse is at 50 Ka Yip Street, and had a net book value of HK$2.28 billion at the end of last year, it said.

With a total gross floor area of 521,253 square feet, the property brought Kerry HK$45 million in net profit last year.

The Sha Tin warehouse at 36-42 Shan Mei Street New Territories has a total gross floor area of 404,374 sq ft, the filing showed.

It had a net book value of HK$1.46 billion last year and created an after-tax net profit of HK$113 million in 2021.

The deal is expected to be completed on or before June 30 and the related transaction costs would be HK$5 million, Kerry Properties said.

The estimated net proceeds from the disposal in the amount of about HK$4.62 billion will be used as general working capital, and an estimated gain of HK$883 million will be recorded upon completion, it said.

On the prevailing market conditions under the Covid-19 situation, the financial position of the group and the performance of the warehouses, the directors consider that the disposal presents an excellent opportunity for the company to unlock the value of the warehouses and enables it to recycle capital to strengthen its balance sheets and operations, the filing stated.

Given that the group has a diverse and robust property portfolio, Kerry Properties felt the disposal would have no material effect on its business and operations, said the filing.

Red-hot The Grand Mayfair II rolls out more flats

The Grand Mayfair II in Yuen Long released another two batches with 288 flats together to be put on sale on Wednesday after selling over 90 percent of the homes in the first round of sales last Friday.

The two price lists, which comprise 59 one-bedroom units, 188 two-bedroom units, 34 three-bedroom units, and 7 flats with four bedrooms, are priced from HK$6.52 million to HK$18.47 million after discounts, or from HK$17,132 to HK$20,463 per square foot.

The 805-flat project is phase 1B of a 2,200-flat mega development that is being jointly developed by Sino Land (0083), K Wah International (0173), and China Overseas Land and Investment (0688).

They have earned over HK$3.5 billion following the sales of more than 400 homes last Friday.

In Tseung Kwan O, Kowloon Development (0034) has released the fifth price list for Manor Hill, offering 172 units starting from HK$5.04 million after discounts. The batch provides studio and one-bedroom homes ranging from 208 sq ft to 428 sq ft.

In Kai Tak, Wheelock Properties has sold at least six units at Monaco Marine, raking in HK$81.7 million.

Its Koko Hills in Lam Tin will launch sales of 96 flats today, including 80 on price lists and 16 by tender.

In Cheung Sha Wan, Grand Victoria II co-developed by Sino Land, Wheelock, and three others, will put 130 flats on the market tomorrow, including 76 on price lists and 54 via tender.

The 76 homes ranging from 278 sq ft to 807 sq ft are priced from HK$6.48 million to HK$22.66 million after discounts.

In Kowloon City, Country Garden (2007) has recorded at least 14 transactions for its Allegro, after putting 70 units up for sale.

In Tai Kok Tsui, at least 9 flats - a studio unit and 8 one-bedroom units - were sold over the weekend, which brought the developer Henderson Land Development (0012) over HK$54 million in contracted sales.

New projects across the city drew buyers from the secondary market over the weekend, resulting in a 21.4 percent decline in the top 10 housing estates with half of them recording no transaction, a property agency said.

Only 11 deals were seen over the weekend, but the number has remained in double-digit territory for the 10th week in a row, the real estate agency said.

An agent said that developers are relatively conservative in pricing to attract buyers, which inevitably slows down second-hand transactions.

The agent added that homeowners may need to further cut their asking prices in order to compete.

H&M转軚 短租尖沙咀铺

H&M时装位于新港中心两层复式巨铺，租约在日内到期，品牌近日进行清货，并在店内张贴即将迁出信息。惟在迁出前刚取得突破性进展，业主及租客决定以短租形式续一年合约，H&M暂维持该店业务。

H&M回应指，原先计划日内正式迁出，而新近与业主达成协议，惟未有透露涉及年期及租金。消息指，是次续约为期仅1年，相信让业主及租客双方观察疫情及市况变化，一年后再作决定。

H&M于2008年以约700万元租用该铺，面积达4.8万平方呎，期间数度续约，据悉高峰期月租曾逾千万元。不过，随着旅客消费减少，铺租已有所回落，而两年前疫情爆发严重冲击零售市道，令品牌一度打算弃租。

Most flats sell at Grand Mayfair project near Yuen Long, in sign Hongkongers prefer new homes over secondary market

Out of the 428 flats on offer at Grand Mayfair, 390 had been sold by the evening

Overall market sentiment was positive, says executive at Sino Land, one of the developers behind project

About 91 per cent of flats in a new development were snapped up by Hong Kong homebuyers on Friday, in a sign that the primary market was their preferred choice.

Out of the 428 flats on offer at Grand Mayfair near Yuen Long, which has been developed by Sino Land, K Wah International and China Overseas Land and Investment, 390 had been sold by 5.30pm, according to agents. Sales as of 4pm stood at about HK$3.5 billion (US$445.9 million), the developers’ spokeswoman said.

Buyers were “optimistic about the Northern Metropolis development and its huge opportunities, seeking the concept of having innovation in northern Hong Kong and finance on the southern side”, Victor Tin, group associate director of sales at Sino Land, said in a statement.

“The response was overwhelming,” he said, adding that the project might have extra units to offer later. “The Hong Kong stock market performed well today as well, up nearly 600 points, and the overall market sentiment was positive.”

The response to Grand Mayfair came despite rising interest and unemployment rates, and buyers were tempted by its transport links and growth potential.

Moreover, Friday’s sale was for the first round of the project’s phase two. Overall, the developers have earned more than HK$10.1 billion from close to 1,100 flats in three weeks, which made it the most popular project this year, according to the spokeswoman.

The project’s phase one was the fastest-selling new property development over the past four years, after first phase of Kwun Tong’s Grand Central in December 2018, where 871 units were sold within six days for more than HK$10.6 billion. During two rounds of sales for Grand Mayfair’s phase one in early May, 710 flats – or 99 per cent of the offering – worth HK$6.6 billion were sold in six days.

“The primary market has a wide offering with restrained pricing that considers the impact of the pandemic,” a property agent said. Buyers have benefited the most, “diverting buying power to the primary market”, the agent added.

“This month, sentiment in the second-hand market declined … mainly due to the impact of interest rate hikes in the United States, stock market fluctuations and an increase in owners’ asking prices,” the agent said.

A property agency said that one buyer had bought two flats for HK$14.47 million. The agency expected the overall number of new homes sold in May to climb to a five-month high of about 1,400.

On Friday, prices started at HK$6.25 million for a 352 sq ft flat. The average price worked out at HK$18,326 per square foot, after a discount of 16 per cent. That was about 2.4 per cent lower than the HK$18,777 per square foot seen in the previous round, and 8.7 per cent lower than the prevailing secondary market price of HK$20,062 per square foot at Ocean Pride in Tsuen Wan West, according the agency’s data.

Friday’s sale drew 4,050 registrations of intent, which meant about nine buyers were competing for each unit. A middle-aged investor surnamed Chu, who bought a two-bedroom flat for about HK$10 million for investment, dismissed headwinds such as the US interest rate rises.

Meanwhile, HSBC said it would offer a cash reward of up to HK$6,888 for customers taking out green mortgages for the second phase of Grand Mayfair. Green mortgages involve banks or mortgage lenders offering preferential terms to a homebuyers if they can demonstrate that the property for which they are borrowing meets certain environmental standards.

The bank also offered prizes such as a Tesla Model Y and HSBC-themed Octopus cards to drum up more business as part of the promotion, which runs up to the end of the year.

医疗行业衍生甲厦新需求

医疗需求持续增长，带动相关行业「异军突起」，据一间外资代理行指出，受本港人口持续老化等因素推动，医疗保健行业持续扩充，料相关行业于未来三年间于市场承租逾百万方呎楼面，并以中环及尖沙嘴传统核心区最受惠。

代理行：料三年需求逾百万呎

该行代理称，本港人口老龄化、高净值人士的医疗支出增加，以及越见广泛的医疗保障，将刺激未来几年对医疗保健服务的强劲需求。该行早前预测医疗中心将需要额外逾100万呎作扩充，惟受疫情影响，令需求变得滞后。

中环尖沙嘴最受惠

本港商厦将于2022年至2026年迎接近1400万方呎新增供应量，将在未来五年为医疗行业的租户提供大量扩张机会。该行另一代理指，在目前的经济下行周期，写字楼叫租具吸引力，为医疗行业提供更多合适的场所选择，以满足他们的长期战略需求。

另一代理表示，街铺租金已从2019年的最高峰下跌40%，医疗中心及服务营运商应该再次考虑租用商铺。

新世界申强拍铜锣湾旧楼 市场估值逾45亿创新高

港岛区地皮供应罕有，铜锣湾波斯富街一綫地段旧楼群重建价值极高，新世界併购多年的区内一列未有窗花的「沽窿旧楼」，包括快乐大厦等多个地段旧楼，最近终取得突破进展，该公司向土地审裁处提出申请强拍，以统一业权发展，市场估值45.05亿，若单以强拍申请金额计属历来银码新高纪录。

旺区旧楼甚具重建潜力，吸引各财团进行併购作重建发展；本报于2018年5月率先报道，铜锣湾波斯富街旧楼群正爆发旧楼收购战；最新，新世界就铜锣湾波斯富街54至76号、利园山道5至27号快乐大厦、罗素街60号等多个地段旧楼，向土地审裁处提出申请强拍，以统一业权发展，目前该公司持有约80.09%至90.32%业权，市场对整个项目估值45.05亿，单计强拍申请金额更是历来银码新高纪录。

持有逾80%业权

目前并未成功收购的单位涉及约50名业主，当中不乏「城中名人」及知名公司，如英皇国际、永光地产、招商永隆银行、「小巴大王」马亚木及快乐大厦业主立案法团等，当中波斯富街旧楼一个单位因公司解散，单位业权未有人认领，变为由律政司、公司註册处代为认领。

业主涉英皇及永光等

值得留意的是，波斯富街76号地铺业主为英皇国际，该公司早于2011年斥资约3.8亿购入，惟文件显示，最新估值仅1.8426亿，意味帐面贬值约51.5%。而永光地产则持有2个波斯富街地铺，其中54号最新估值约1.1295亿，较2009年约9000万购入价，帐面获利约2295万，升值约25.5%；56号地铺最新估值约1.049亿，对比2011年购入价约1.95亿，帐面蚀约9010万，贬值46.2%。

据土地审裁处文件显示，上述项目由细分3个地段的相连旧楼组成，其中地段一为波斯富街54至60号、利园山道5至11号旧楼持有约85.42%业权；地段二、波斯富街62至68A号、利园山道13至19号快乐大厦持有约80.09%业权；地段三、波斯富街70至76号、罗素街60号、利园山道21至27号持有约90.32%业权。上述旧楼群，坐落铜锣湾核心一綫购物地段，邻近希慎广场及时代广场，极具重建价值；地盘面积约1.98万方呎，若以地积比率15倍重建，料可建总楼面约29.75万方呎的商业项目。

新世界于去年11月斥资12.8亿、向持有逾两成关键业权的英记茶庄家族成员等购入一篮子物业，取得突破进展，相隔半年昨日即申请强拍，以统一业权发展。

工厦续成焦点 两月4宗全幢买卖

疫情缓和，大额物业买卖转好，而去年一枝独秀的工厦，今年续成投资焦点，两个月录4宗全幢买卖个案，买家既有用家亦有投资者。

工厦续成财团追捧对象，近日投资市场上再现大额工厦成交。嘉里 (00683) 表示，与华润物流达成协议，出售旗下嘉里 (沙田) 货仓及嘉里 (柴湾) 货仓两项物业，分别涉资23.3亿及22.9亿元，合共涉及46.2亿元。以成交价计，为今年最大额买卖。

两项物业均属货仓用途，嘉里 (沙田) 货仓位于火炭山尾街36至42号，对面为近年入伙的骏洋邨。沙田货仓楼高18层，总楼面面积约404,374平方呎。据了解，该物业现时出租率理想，呎租约12至14元，主要为物流行业租用。物业以23.3亿元易手，呎价约5,762元。

另一物业为嘉里 (柴湾) 货仓，物业位于柴湾嘉业街50号，楼高15层，总楼面约521,253平方呎。数年前，嘉里物流 (00636) 曾作出申请，计划改装柴湾货仓为大型骨灰龕场，惟遭城规否决。今次以物业22.9亿元成交价计，呎价约4,393元。

华润物流 已斥逾75亿扫工厦

事件上，是次两项物业买家华润物流，近两年活跃于工厦市场，包括去年向邓成波家族购入屯门东亚纱厂工业大厦第一期全幢，以及粉岭安乐门街35至37号勉励龙中心全幢，分别涉约22.42亿及6.95亿元，合共近30亿元。如今再斥逾46亿元，购入两项物业，合共已斥逾75亿元扫工厦作自用。

此外，基金亦对全幢工厦感兴趣，近日粉岭业畅街6号新中国洗衣集团大厦全幢以4.5亿元易手，物业地盘面积约22,163平方呎，总面积约101,463平方呎，以4.5亿元成交价计，呎价约4,435元。项目于1990年落成，近年由业主自用。翻查资料，原业主于1999年以3,868.8万元购入，持货23年转手，获利约4.11亿元，物业升值约10.6倍。

据悉，买家为美资房地产基金Heitman，首度于香港入市。是次购入该工厦项目，将转作冻仓用途，作长綫收租。连同4月份美资基金以近29亿元购入葵涌集运中心，两个月市场已录4宗全幢工厦买卖，涉近80亿元。

分析指，疫情下工厦需求有增无减，因涉及物流、冻仓及数据中心等，均为疫情下生意不错的行业，特别网购增加，需求强劲，令物流公司有需要扩充业务。另外，工厦亦有改装概念，故获外资基金留意。按目前走势，商厦、零售等需时復甦，反之工厦需求稳定，相信今年仍是投资市场最受捧物业。

NWD looks to expand Causeway Bay holdings

New World Development (0017) has filed a compulsory sale application to acquire several properties in Causeway Bay which have a combined market value of HK$4.5 billion.

The properties, which include 54-76 Percival Street and Happy Mansion at 5-27 Lee Garden Road, have a site area of 19,831 square feet.

The developer has more than 80 percent ownership of the properties and the maximum gross floor area would be nearly 300,000 sq ft, if they are rebuilt at a plot ratio of 15.

The companies applying for the compulsory sale are Kerryford Holdings and Time Pilot, whose registered addresses are New World Tower, the headquarters of NWD.

In the primary market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has unveiled the first price list for Silicon Hill in Tai Po, offering 116 homes at an average per-square-foot price of HK$17,498 after discounts, nearly 10 percent lower than some second-hand flats in the same area.

The first batch includes one-bedroom to three-bedroom units, and is priced from HK$5.49 million to HK$12.92 million after discounts, or from HK$16,461 to HK$19,929 per sq ft.

Three show flats are available for viewing from today and the sales registration will start tomorrow, the developer said, adding that the sales may take place this month.

The project offers studio to three-bedroom units with spaces ranging from 217 sq ft to 851 sq ft. Flats with two bedrooms account for more than half, SHKP said.

In Cheung Sha Wan, Seaside Sonata has put the remaining 38 three-bedroom units up for sale with the cheapest ones at HK$12.38 million after discounts.

The developer CK Asset (1113) said the flats, which range from 771 sq ft to 786 sq ft, are worth HK$570 million and it has raked in about HK$8.3 billion after selling 838 homes in the project.

In Quarry Bay, eight studio units from 221 sq to 227 sq ft at The Holborn will be put on sale with prices from HK$5.74 million to HK$6.13 million after discounts, developer Henderson Land Development (0012) said.

Meanwhile, a luxury residential property at No 2 Stubbs Road in Mid-Levels East worth about HK$1 billion is being tendered, a real-estate service firm said.

The 62-year-old property provides 13 residential flats with a total salable area of 15,224 sq ft, and the tender will close on July 14, it added.

Hong Kong luxury homes set for a rebound as developers pin hopes on border reopening, buying power from mainland investors

Transaction volume of luxury homes could rebound by 30 to 40 per cent in the second half of 2022 on resumption of normal business

City has approved 13 projects for presale this year through late March, with luxury projects accounting for eight of them

The market for luxury homes in Hong Kong is expected to brighten as developers and property investors look past the slump in the opening months this year. Subsiding Covid-19 impact and hopes for the reopening of borders are behind the new-found optimism.

Transaction volume of luxury homes could jump by 30 to 40 per cent in the second half from the first half, a property agent said. First-quarter sales of homes priced above HK$50 million (US$6.37 million) fell by a sequential 36.3 per cent, the worst since late 2020 because of the fifth wave of pandemic, stock market losses and fears over higher borrowing costs.

The Federal Reserve has raised its key interest rate twice this year, followed in lockstep by Hong Kong’s monetary authority under its linked exchange rate system. Still, local banks have refrained by lifting their lending rates amid a shrinking economy.

“The market has digested the interest-rate hike factor,” said Helen Fung, deputy director of sales at Chinachem Group. “The recent boom in the property market reflects confidence in entering the market.”

Developers had 13 new property projects approved citywide for presale by the government but not yet launched as of late March, offering a total of 2,582 units, according to Hong Kong Economic Times. Luxury residential projects accounted for eight of them.

Kowloon Development last week sold the last flat at Cadogan in Kennedy Town for HK$104 million, a duplex measuring 2,167 square feet. At HK$48,000 per sq ft, the unit is the most expensive in the development, reflecting underlying appetite among local buyers.

Luxury residential properties sold by tender will play a pivotal role in the primary market’s recovery in the coming quarters, according to Fonnie Chan, senior sales manager at Kowloon Development, as some developers have seized the opportunity to position for the market rebound.

Chinachem Group launched four duplex units at Bisney Crest in Pok Fu Lam earlier this month for sale by tender. It collected about HK$230 million from the sale of the last two luxury units at Villa Cove in Clear Water Bay last month.

First Group Holdings offered a house measuring 18,274 sq ft at 72 Repulse Bay Road for sale in mid-May, according to a property agent. The property has attracted more than 20 inquiries, a high reception for properties of that size, the agent added.

Emperor International Holdings, C C Land Holdings, Mingfa Group (International) and Couture Homes, who have jointly developed the No. 15 Shouson ultra-luxury development in the Southern district, could launch it shortly by tender, according to a statement.

“As the pandemic [eases] and Hong Kong’s economy gradually returns to normal, the group expects that the high-end residential market shall follow,” said Alex Yeung, vice-chairman of Emperor International.

That optimism has produced a record deal this month in Tai Po, where a castle-style mansion on 1 Ninth Street in Hong Lok Yuen villa estate changed hands for about HK$300 million. The property is the largest in the area.

The Hong Kong government has taken steps this quarter to peel away some of its tough social distancing curbs after managing to put a lid on the fifth wave of Covid-19 infections, including easing dine-in rules and quarantine measures for inbound arrivals.

“Recently, transactions of big-ticket luxury homes have increased,” said Chan at Kowloon Development. “With the pandemic easing, the market anticipates that the Hong Kong government will soon reopen the borders with the mainland, thereby attracting the purchasing power” from Chinese investors, she added.

Greater Bay Area residents will soon be able to buy wealth management, beauty and medical services from Hong Kong’s 11 Skies complex

Airport Authority awarded the contract for development and management of the project to New World Development in 2018

Anchor tenants include Bank of China (Hong Kong), Citibank, Standard Chartered, FTLife Insurance and Trinity Health Enterprise

Greater Bay Area (GBA) residents will soon be able to receive medical services and buy wealth management products at a commercial complex named 11 Skies near Hong Kong International Airport, without travelling to the city centre once the border with mainland China reopens.

11 Skies is a HK$20 billion (US$2.55 billion) 3.8 million square feet office-retail-entertainment project, comprising three, seven-storey grade A office towers. It will open in July and mainly target GBA residents who live within a one-and-a-half hour drive of the complex, according to developer New World Development.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on construction,” said Larry Leung, vice-president for operations at K11 Concepts, a unit of New World Group that is responsible for project management. “But we still manage to complete the work [for the office site] and keep the budget in check.”

The city’s Airport Authority awarded the contract for development and management of the project to the group’s property arm New World Development in 2018.

Nearly 20 companies from the finance, wealth management, beauty and medical services sectors will open offices at the three office towers, which have a total gross floor area of 570,000 sq ft, said Leung. “About half of the gross floor area [for offices] has been pre-leased,” said Leung, without disclosing the rents payable.

Aside flying to the airport to visit 11 Skies, the complex is also close to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, which could pull in visitors who drive from the Greater Bay Area, which includes the cities of Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing.

Five anchor tenants including Bank of China (Hong Kong), Citibank, Standard Chartered, FTLife Insurance and Trinity Health Enterprise have taken up space at the business complex.

Standard Chartered said it plans to set up a new banking centre in 11 Skies to meet the demand for cross-boundary banking and investment services from GBA residents.

“While the GBA market continues to develop rapidly, we believe mainland investors will have a higher demand for cross-boundary investment services, spurring growth of wealth management services in Hong Kong,” said Terruce Wang, head of Greater China segment for consumer, private and business banking at Standard Chartered Hong Kong, in a reply to questions from the Post.

“As 11 Skies is situated at one of the most accessible locations for GBA residents, we plan to cater to their needs as a physical servicing spot for banking and wealth management services, while they visit 11 Skies for entertainment and shopping in one-go,” said Wang.

Each of the three office towers will offer specific services, one for finance and wealth management, one for wellness and medical services, and the third will provide space for companies in the GBA to set up offices in Hong Kong.

The planned opening of the complex comes against the backdrop of a sharp plunge in mainland tourist arrivals to Hong Kong from 51 million in 2018 to 65,721 in 2021 amid a border closure since 2020 to contain the pandemic.

“The border with the mainland will open one day even though the market is clouded by short-term concerns,” a property agent said. The agent added that New World would be taking a long-term view of the project as the airport remains an international hub.

“Hong Kong’s financial and medical services are considered some of the most established in the Asia-Pacific region,” another agent said. “It can attract money flow from the mainland seeking to buy insurance, stocks and wealth investment products in Hong Kong.”

Meanwhile, the retail part of 11 Skies, comprising 800 shops and 120 restaurants, is set to open in 2024. The facilities will include the first KidZania theme park in Greater China, the city’s first flying theatre, Timeless Flight Hong Kong, and SkyTrack, an indoor and outdoor karting track.

The agent said that there has not been such a “retailtainment” – retail marketing as entertainment – complex in Hong Kong with such a “wow” factor for tourists and locals in the past 10 years.

受疫情打击，工商铺市况继续录得蚀让成交。消息指，由中建富通主席麦绍棠持有的铜锣湾罗素街8号英皇鐘錶珠宝中心中层全层，以买卖公司形式易手，作价约1.1亿，减价幅度逾两成，持货8年帐面蚀让约3900万，买家租金回报率约1.85厘。

银座式商厦于疫市下再录大幅蚀让。据市场消息指出，由中建富通集团主席及行政总裁麦绍棠持有的铜锣湾罗素街8号英皇鐘錶珠宝中心19楼全层，属铺位物业，建筑面积约4718方呎，以买卖公司形式易手，作价约1.1亿，呎价约23315元，上址现时由医务中心以约17万租用，料买家租金回报率约1.85厘。

早前叫价1.5亿

据悉，原业主于2014年3月以1.49亿购入，故持货8年帐面蚀让约3900万，物业期间贬值约26%。本报昨日未能联络卖家，故未能进一步证实消息。

据地产代理透露，上述物业早于市场放售近两年，早前叫价达1.5亿，惟受疫情等因素影响，令业主议幅逐步扩阔，该成交价属市价水平，料买家为投资者，购入作长綫收租用途。

租金回报1.85厘

同时，代理亦指出，麦绍棠现时亦持有该厦18楼全层作收租用途。

事实上，铜锣湾罗素街8号为银座式商厦，于铺市高峰期拆售，当时备受投资者及用家追捧，惟及后铺市急走下坡，该项目早前已频录大幅蚀让个案，资料显示，该项目29楼顶层，于2018年4月以1.47亿易手，原业主持货4年帐面亏蚀6100万，令市场感到非常愕然。

Gucci、Adidas联手租罗素街铺

业内人士指出，该物业虽为银座式商厦，但只有较低楼层适合作餐饮用途，故对项目频录蚀让不感意外。

另一方面，相同街道地铺亦新录承租个案，市场消息指出，铜锣湾罗素街22至24号全幢，新获奢侈品牌Gucci及运动品牌Adidas短租，铺位建筑面积约8740方呎，该铺早前由高级内衣品牌La Perla租用，于市场高峰期2015年租金高达750万，惟该品牌于2020年10月租约届满迁出。

健康用品取代药房进驻

据地产代理指出，上址早前由药房以约20万租用，惟于去年底租约届满迁出，故铺位交吉约半年租出，租金下跌约25%。事实上，该铺位处区内核心地段，位处怡和街及记利佐治街交界，加上铺位面向崇光百货，为「三面单边」铺王。资料显示，该铺于2015年由连锁药房以约65万租用，故最新租金较高峰期，即7年前大幅下滑约76%。

MAPLE麦志刚2100万购坚城铺

另一方面，投资老手则加快入市步伐，市场消息指出，坚尼地城北街13至19号昌裕大厦地下1号铺，新近以约2100万成交，买家为资深投资者、MAPLE时装老闆麦志刚，以铺位建筑面积约900方呎计，呎价约23333元。该铺现时由宠物医院及中医馆租用，每月租金收入合共约7.66万，料租金回报率约4.38厘。

英皇道1111号 (前称太古城中心一座)连录22宗成交

基滙资本牵头财团早前以逾98亿向太古地产购入鰂鱼涌英皇道1111号 (前称太古城中心一座) 全幢写字楼，物业于上月底连录22宗买卖，作价介乎1亿至5.9亿。有业内人士分析，上述连环买卖料为内部转让，并为项目日后拆售作準备。

英皇道1111号 (前称太古城中心一座) 商厦于2020年底，以约98.45亿售予基滙资本牵头财团，为近年投资物业市场瞩目「大刁」之一。该物业上月底录得多宗大手成交，共涉22宗买卖，作价介乎约1亿至5.9亿，成交金额最高买卖为顶层连天台，作价5.99亿。据悉，买家为基滙资本相关人士。

有代理称，上述多宗成交料为内部转让，可能改由独立公司持有，有机会为日后项目分拆出售铺路。然而，该基金亦可作「两手準备」，可持续收租并为物业增值，日后亦可作全幢买卖。

业界：料内部转让

资料显示，基滙资本牵头财团于2020年10月，以约98.45亿向太古地产购入鰂鱼涌英皇道1111号 (前称太古城中心一座) 全幢写字楼，总楼面近62.9万方呎，平均呎价约1.56万，以每年租金收入约2.78亿计，租金回报率约2.8厘。该物业楼高27层，租客不乏大机构，包括中银集团、三井住友保险、泰禾人寿保险及惠普 (hp) 等等，目前平均呎租逾40元。物业亦是太古湾道14号 (前称太古城中心三座) 写字楼中，最接近港铁站出口，较同系第三座及第四座写字楼配套为佳。

上半年商用物业大手成交280亿

受到第五波疫情冲击，投资物业市场交投稍放缓。据代理行指出，上半年逾亿元商用物业大手成交金额料约280亿，较去年同期下跌约35%，市场以本地投资者为主，但房地产基金尤其活跃，工厦、酒店及地盘项目将继续受捧。

有代理行昨日发表年中商用物业投资市场回顾及展望，截至今年5月中，商用物业逾亿元大手买卖暂录43宗，成交金额约214亿，料上半年录得成交金额约280亿，较去年同期下跌约35%，但较2020年同期上升28%。

至于下半年市况走势，该行预测，随着疫情持续放缓，料下半年市况转趋活跃，估计全年总金额达700亿，较2019及2020年为高。现时市场以本地投资者为主，但房地产基金尤其活跃，工厦及地盘项目将继续受捧，房地产基金瞄準「共居空间」机遇，带动上半年酒店交投量。随着东铁綫过海段开通，预计将增加沿綫物业升值潜力。

料全年金额700亿

该行代理表示，儘管疫情令市况受压，惟全幢工厦及酒店仍备受追捧，后者售价较高峰回调约3成，吸引本地投资者伙拍房地产基金频频买入，料下半年同类物业仍备受追捧，料全年投资物业市场成交金额约700亿。

该行另一代理称，平均每宗成交金额有持续向下趋势，反映在疫情持续、经济前景未明朗的环境下，投资者普遍审慎，倾向追逐较小银码的物业。随着疫情逐步缓和，预计下半年市场气氛较上半年佳。

火炭逾廿幢工厦申建住宅 料增4700伙

火炭工业区近期受市场关注，华润物流以约23.3亿元购入区内的嘉里 (沙田) 货仓，同区近年正在转型过程，包括长实 (01113) 去年申请重建区内逾20幢工厦成大型住宅区，涉及约4,700伙。

火炭工业区佔地约30公顷，位于港铁火炭站西北面，属于传统工业区，区内共有约45幢工厦，一般楼龄逾30年以上，其餘一半楼龄介乎约15至30餘年，但由于近8成的工厦属于分散业权，要重建转型的困难较大，因此政府一直倾向维持作为工业区的定位。

华润持5厦 成区内大地主

近日嘉里 (00683) 宣布出售旗下嘉里 (沙田) 货仓及嘉里 (柴湾) 货仓两项物业，分别涉资约23.3亿及约22.9亿元，合共涉及逾46.2亿元，新买家为华润物流。当中嘉里 (沙田) 货仓位于火炭工业区内的山尾街36至42号，总楼面面积约404,374平方呎，呎价约5,762元。

随着华润物流购入嘉里 (沙田) 货仓，连同百适一仓、百适二仓、沙田冷仓 (一仓) 及沙田冷仓 (二仓)，由华润系内持有的火炭工厦增加至5幢，成为区内大地主之一，而华润早年曾经申请重建沙田冷仓 (一仓) 及百适二仓，重建成酒店项目，在5层商场之上建28层高酒店，提供858间客房，不过方案当年未获城规会通过。

首期改建 料2026年落成

值得留意的是，去年长实申请将火炭工业区东部20幢工厦，由「工业」用途改划为「住宅 (戊类)」等用途，重建成为24幢大型住宅屋苑，提供4,706伙，计划分为3期发展，当中长实持有的沙田屈臣氏中心纳入第1期，提供约300伙，平均单位面积约608平方呎，预计2026年落成。

至于第2期范围较广泛，涉及邻近火炭站的多幢工厦，包括由华润持有的沙田冷仓一仓、二仓和百适一仓、二仓，提供1,793伙，预计2028年落成。华润物流今次新购入的嘉里 (沙田) 货仓，则位于长实申请方案的第3期部分，连同其他中建电讯大厦等合共13幢工厦，将会提供约2,613伙，不过该批工厦普遍无单一大业主主导重建，不容易在短期内落实。

火炭区工厦普遍较为低水，平均呎价仅约3,000至4,000餘元，而今年初外资基金安祖高顿持有的火炭沙田工业大厦一篮子物业，以约3.7亿元售出，平均呎价约4,625元。
