市区地皮供应有限，财团积极收购旧楼，由英皇收购的西环高陞大楼，新获批强拍令，目前已收约91.89%业权，底价为2.59亿，较19年市场估值约2.4亿高约8%。

据土地审裁处资料，目前英皇持有高陞大楼91.89%，仅餘3伙未获收购，分别为1楼A室、C室及3楼B室，涉及3组小业主。据判词指出，该项目楼龄已高，不少单位状况甚差，现时强拍申请人已持有逾80%业权，故重建属合理做法。

可建楼面约1.9万呎

项目底价为2.59亿，较19年申请强拍时，市场估值2.4亿高出约8%。该项目为商住物业，地盘面积2144方呎，可建楼面约1.9万方呎，楼龄约55年，邻近西营盘港铁站，具有一定重建价值。

翻查资料，英皇去年宣布与慈善机构新家园协会合作，并将上述项目约22个单位发展成「共．融舍」房屋共享计画，并以象徵式1元租金租予新家园负责营运，为期1年。

底价较19年高8%

私人土地供应减少，使发展商也积极透过旧楼收购增加土地储备，英皇近年频以强拍重建增加土地储备。

业主阻尖区旧楼强拍败诉

资料显示，英皇集团早前向土地审裁处申请强拍筲箕湾南安街仲齐大厦，项目估值约1.75亿，项目地盘面积3000方呎，现为楼高8层商住物业，早于1964年落成入伙，楼龄55年。

该集团于邻近亦有收购项目，如筲箕湾南安街73号德福楼、75号的合荣大厦，以及77号的茂发楼，料将会整合发展。

另外，邓成波家族旗下尖沙嘴加连威老道65至73号旧楼，原于去年7月批出强拍，底价逾19亿，惟于拍卖前夕，遭小业主向高等法院提出反对，并批出暂缓令。据法院最新资料显示，法庭判小业主败诉，维持原有强拍安排。

大厦于1978年落成，楼高29层，物业分别设有告士打道及谢斐道入口，均可前往物业电梯大堂。大厦入口、电梯大堂等早年曾翻新，加设电子水牌，整体观感仍胜同区乙厦。

标準楼面全层面积由6,999至7,344平方呎，该厦主要为全层用家为主，较少间细单位。间隔上四正，实用率高达8成。

位处单边 享优质海景

物业最大优点在景观上，因大厦位处单边，前面亦没有任何遮挡，可享优质海景。

商务气氛转好 旺角录疫后最大租务

资料显示，今年第一季录得约1,304宗铺位租赁成交，总金额约1.35亿元，比上季约1,442宗及1.38亿元水平相若，至于按年比较则上升逾五成。踏入第二季，疫情进一步缓和，租务活动转活，各核心区均录铺位租务成交。

迪生创建300万 租弥敦道铺

旺角区方面，近日录得数宗商铺租务个案，更罕有出现数百万月租成交个案。迪生创建指，与招商永隆银行达成协议，租用旺角弥敦道636号银行中心广场地下01至03、06至19号铺及1楼17号铺，租期由2021年8月至2027年，为期6年，涉及租金约2.1626亿元，月租涉及约300万元。

涉及物业旺角银行中心广场，为区内核心零售地段，旁为港铁站出口，人流畅旺。铺位面积约1.2万平方呎，现时由周大福、屈臣氏等租用。是次新租务涉及月租约300万元，按金额计为去年疫情爆发后，最大宗铺位租务成交。对上一宗较大手商租务，为中环兴瑋大厦两层，获恒生银行以每月120万元租用。

迪生创建业务主要为时装、手錶等，旗下品牌包括百货Harvey Nichols、美容专门店BEAUTY AVENUE等，而集团位于旺角朗豪坊商场的BEAUTY AVENUE涉及逾万平方呎，据悉租约即将届满。业界人士估计，不排除租用银行中心铺作搬迁。

BALENO亚皆老街铺 月租60万

另外，区内录得时装店租务，涉及旺角亚皆老街24至26号地下连阁楼，面积合共约2,556平方呎，由时装连锁店BALENO以每月60万承租，平均呎租234元。该时装店去年尾曾短租铺位，涉及约半年，如今转为长租。翻查资料，铺位曾由苹果牌牛仔服装自用，两年前迁出。

旺角吉铺数目多，个别铺位由短租店承接。旺角西洋菜南街14至24号荣地下，面积约1,600平方呎，获佐丹奴以月约20万元短租。该品牌早年曾租用物业，今年初完结迁出，如今以短租形式重返。据了解，品牌早年以90万元租用铺位，新租金跌逾77%。

分析指，疫情缓和，消费气氛转好，令零售商感兴趣开业，加上铺租较高峰期大跌，租务明显上升。旺角区向来集合本地及旅客消费，旅客暂未重返，仍有本土客支持，令零售商趁租金下跌，重新租铺开业迎商机。

疫情缓和下，整体商务气氛转好，过往集合本地及旅客消费的旺角区，租务个案增加，更录得疫后最大宗商铺租务。

邓成波家族胜诉 尖沙咀旧楼准强拍

底价19.26亿 合併邻地重建供13万呎

旧楼收购进入收成期，三个旧楼强拍重建项目陆续获批，涉资约24.9亿元，预计能带来18.1万平方呎楼面，其中已故铺王邓成波生前收购的尖沙咀加连威老道旧楼，获法庭批准继续强拍。

铺王邓成波家族在2017年就加连威老道65至73号收购至逾8成业权之后，向土地审裁处申请强制拍卖，并在去年6月获批出强拍令，拍卖程序原定在去年7月举行，但当时遇上有一名小业主向高等法院反对，并批出暂缓令。

该小业主律师质疑加连威老道73号与75号共用同一条楼梯，若果73号重建后，小业主在75号持有的单位亦无法使用，认为《旧楼强拍条例》是重建整幢物业，而不是物业的一部分。

不过，据法庭判词指出，香港现有业权制度以地段 (lot) 为单位，而并认为73号跟75号属于不同公契，彼此独立，而屋宇署亦会审批方案确保73号拆卸后不会影响75号的运作，才批出拆楼纸，故此最终拒绝小业主的上诉申请。

按照资料显示，加连威老道65至73号拍卖底价达19.26亿元，若果合併地盘重建，将可提供约13万平方呎楼面。

永义红磡旧楼今拍卖

另外，英皇国际 (00163) 收购的的西营盘皇后大道西高陞大楼，最新获土地审裁处批出强拍令，项目底价为2.59亿元。高陞大楼位于西营盘皇后大道西78至80号及荷李活道265至267号，比邻荷李活道公园。据文件显示，英皇相关人士目前已持有大厦业权约91.89%。项目地盘面积约2,144平方呎，可建楼面涉约1.9万平方呎。

另外，永义国际 (01218) 持有大部分业权的红磡漆咸道北472号、474号、476号及478号，将于今日上午10时进行强拍，底价为3亿元。项目现为两幢5至6层高的旧楼，分别于1956及1957年落成，其地盘面积约3,562平方呎。

Delayed project raises fears over completion

Debt-laden Goldin Financial (0530) has sold just around 7 percent of 401 flats on offer at Grand Homm in Ho Man Tin, and the developer has delayed delivery of the homes to buyers for more than six months now.

The firm previously missed the delivery date in late November and the project is stoking fears that it may become an unfinished real-estate project, which is rarely seen in the city.

The developer said on Sunday the homes are expected to be completed on July 6, due to the impact of the pandemic and weather.

Meanwhile, property agencies reportedly dropped the sales work on the project six months ago and have not received the commission from the previous deals.

Grand Homm marks Goldin Financial's first residential project in Hong Kong, with six residential buildings.

It offers 401 standard units and 26 special ones, covering an area ranging from 848 square feet to 1,447 sq ft.

Goldin Financial, chaired by tycoon Pan Sutong, incurred a net loss of more than HK$8 billion in 2020, and its Goldin Financial Global Centre in Kowloon Bay was taken over by its creditors and sold for HK$14.3 billion.

In the primary market, New World Development (0017) will launch at least 90 units of the third phase of The Pavilia Farm on top of Tai Wai Station after receiving more than 11,000 registrations of intent from potential buyers for the 182 flats in three days.

The developer expected to launch the first round of sales as soon as this Saturday, involving about 300 units.

In other news, a luxury house at Wing On Towers 12, Jardines Lookout, is up for sale for more than HK$610 million, agent said.

In May, secondary transactions at 10 major estates fell 4.8 percent to 358 from a month ago as home prices continued to rise.

Hong Kong developers take to wining and dining office tenants, step up restaurant and bar openings

Most Hong Kong developers are expanding their F&B offerings to better serve and retain tenants amid a rise in vacancy rates

We see a growing demand for lifestyle spaces among office tenants, Hysan executive says

Hong Kong property developers and landlords are welcoming more restaurants and bars to their office buildings, as they look to offer more entertainment options to their tenants in an otherwise soft office market.

More than five new food and beverage (F&B) outlets are set to open in and around Taikoo Place this year, for instance. These include trendy Australian seafood restaurant Catch, boutique cafe HAVN, Lady M, which is famous for its cakes, and Japanese hand rolled sushi and sake bar TMK.

“Taikoo Place needs to appeal to younger members of the world … we need to make sure that it has all the amenities and restaurants and bars, and I think we have achieved that,” said Don Taylor, the director of office at Swire Properties. The developer owns and operates Taikoo Place and is a major landlord in Quarry Bay.

Most Hong Kong developers are putting more effort into expanding their F&B offerings to better serve and retain tenants amid a rise in vacant spaces in their office buildings. The vacancy rate for grade A offices rose to 7.9 per cent in Central in April, 12.4 per cent in Wan Chai and 7.5 per cent in Causeway Bay, according to property agency.

“Office tenants nowadays are, in general, more demanding, while landlords would like to enhance the image of their building and provide extra amenities to tenants,” agent said.

Swire Properties, which recently launched Two Taikoo Place, a 41-storey building, could go a step further and improve the F&B offering across the whole of Taikoo Place, Taylor said. “We will put more higher-end dining in place to cater to the demand of executives of our corporate tenants, who can entertain their clients here. We are currently looking at a number of different spaces within Taikoo Place and are speaking to a number of different operators,” he added.

Hysan Development, the biggest landlord in Causeway Bay, will feature alfresco dining among other F&B options in a new grade A office tower it hopes to unveil in the district by 2026-27. “We see a growing demand for lifestyle spaces among our office tenants,” said Ricky Lui, Hysan’s chief operating officer.

Last summer, 132-year-old landlord and developer Hongkong Land launched Basehall, a food court with nine stalls run by some of the city’s trendiest F&B operators, including Honbo, Co Thanh and Young Master Brewery, in the basement of Jardine House. The company, which owns about 450,000 square metres of prime office and retail properties in Central, will offer more “innovative and trendy” dining places in the next six to 12 months, it said.

“It has become slightly more apparent recently that we are seeing F&B elements not just in the basements and lobbies, but also on rooftops, floors with balconies … We have had some discussions with various landlords on this,” agent said.

“F&B operators, they are always up for unique locations. So rooftops and balcony floors are always interesting options for them,” the agent added.

甲厦买卖增，有代理统计指，首5月指标甲厦录78宗买卖，重返2019年社会运动前水平。

代理数据显示，今年首5个月50大甲厦共录得78宗买卖，相对去年同期的30宗，按年急弹近1.6倍，期内成交面积约32.7万平方呎，按年亦上升逾1.3倍。至于2019年同期共录得79宗买卖，意味着今年首5个月的成交量，已经重返2019社会运动前的水平。

上月共录15宗买卖

不过，若与2018年同期，即中美贸易战刚爆发时的116宗，以及2017年商厦大牛市时的167宗比较，最新成交量仍然属偏低的水平。

单计上月，50大甲厦共录得15宗买卖，包括中环指标甲厦皇后大道中九号连录2宗买卖，为该厦近32个月首录成交；另一指标项目金鐘力宝中心上月也录得2宗成交个案。

代理表示，受到工商铺撤辣及疫情回稳带动，部分新晋投资者入市购入写字楼，带动交投回稳，总计今年首5个月，交投水平亦重返社会运动前的水平，显示市场正稳步復甦，但与2017至18年贸易战前的旺市水平，仍然有一段距离。后市上，代理认为铜锣湾加路连山道地王早前以高价批出，市场亦憧憬中环新海滨地王卖地价或有惊喜，部分业主因而採取观望态度，不急于大幅减价求售，令到短期商厦交投或会回落。

屯马綫效应 加快新蒲岗工业转型

随着屯马綫于6月全綫通车，意味由各区往返新蒲岗会更方便，大大提升该区的潜力。事实上，近年新蒲岗工业区加快转型，区内未来有不少新式工厦供应，料可提供约150万平方呎楼面。

7项目发展 增150万呎工商楼面

鑑于新蒲岗邻近啟德旧机场，上世纪吸引不少轻工业落户。不过，在起动九龙东效应，及活化工厦2.0的推动下，区内收购重建活动加快，令到该区逐渐转型成商贸区。现时区内有7个发展项目，合共提供约150万平方呎楼面，而屯马綫将于6月全綫通车，故料可进一步提高新蒲岗工商厦的升值潜力。

由长江制衣 (00294) 持有，位于新蒲岗大有街20至24号的项目，早前申请放宽地积比率，由原本的12倍增至14.896倍，并拟建一幢楼高29层 (包括3层地库) 的新型工厦，作非污染性工厦用途，涉及楼面约38.5万平方呎，上述申请已获城规会在有条件下批准。而大有街20号现为香港安全印刷大厦，而22至24号前身是长江制衣厂大厦。业主早于2012年曾建议将项目发展为楼高31层的酒店，提供约1,144个酒店房间，并获城规会批准申请，惟业主最终于2016年宣布撤回重建方案，及再就项目提交最新议案。

七宝街1号新式工厦 料6月底推售

同时，附近亦有新式工厦即将推出，其中位处七宝街1号，前身为美华工厂大厦，属于房地产基金麒丰资本的头炮项目，早前拟重建一幢楼高26层物业，作非污染工业用途。据麒丰资本指出，项目可提供逾200伙，涉资约25亿元，计划于6月底推售。

受惠于起动九龙东计划，加上附近基建渐见成熟，近年大型发展商亦积极计划为旗下项目重建。新世界 (00017) 旗下六合街21号的工业地盘正部署进行重建，发展商早前已就项目申请重建成一幢22层高的新式工厦，预计提供约12万平方呎总楼面。此外，新世界亦已成功在2017年以逾3.5亿元，统一邻近的六合街9号中溪工业大厦的业权，项目目前属于一幢11层高工厦，料日后可活化为商厦，提供写字楼、餐饮及零售商铺等用途。值得一提，新世界早年亦将工厦改装为九龙贝尔特酒店，酒店于2013年落成，属区内首间酒店，供应695个客房。

另外，油麻地上海街387号铺，面积700方呎，市传获买家以3200万获洽购。

永义统一红磡旧楼业权

市区土地供应有限，发展商积极收购重建。红磡漆咸道北旧楼昨进行强拍，由申请强拍的永义以底价3亿统一业权，楼面呎价约9358元，项目料合併毗邻地盘发展。

该项目为漆咸道北472号至478号旧楼，永义于无对手下，以底价3亿统一业权，项目佔地约3562方呎，以地积比9倍发展，可建楼32058方呎，楼面呎价约9358元。

底价三亿购漆咸道北旧楼

上述旧楼于1950年落成，消息指，发展商同时已收购毗邻470号全数业权，料作合併发展，项目佔地面积将增至约4680方呎，可建楼面则增至4.2万方呎，料作商住项目发展。

有测量师指，红磡区内旧楼近年频获发展商作收购重建，上述强拍项目配套不俗，发展潜力不俗，并认为上述强拍成交价属市价水平，

该测量师亦指出，受疫情影响，今年发展商申请强拍的宗数少于去年，暂时录约5至6宗，惟部分强拍申请陆续进入聆讯阶段，故预计今年批出的拍卖令有机会多于去年。

Henderson Land enters the fray for prime site

Henderson Land Development (0012) co-chairman Martin Lee Ka-shing said the developer will submit a tender for Site 3 of the New Central Harbourfront in Central.

Bids for the commercial site close on June 18.

Lee described the plot as "superior land" but did not reveal to whether it would bid on its own or through a joint venture.

He believes rents of grade A offices will remain stable as many tenants like large multinational companies and financial institutions are interested in offices in prime areas.

Commercial buildings in prime locations will not have major problems in finding tenants, he said pointing out that offices of vacating tenants at the International Finance Centre in Central were soon filled up after they left.

Lee was satisfied with property sales so far this year and said the group is pushing ahead with the transformation of agricultural land into residential land. He said he backed the government's move to take private land, under the Lands Resumption Ordinance, for building public housing and infrastructure.

Lee revealed that Henderson Land's Miramar Hotel and Investment (0071) had average occupancy rates of 40 percent this year, with to 60-70 percent over the weekends. Henderson Land raised its stake in Miramar Hotel and Investment to over 50 percent last month, and Lee said the plan to raise its stake in the subsidiary was a "long-term goal."

疫情冲击商务活动，不过亦有个别行业疫市下生意不跌反升，更可趁商厦租金下跌有所扩充。外卖平台foodpanda，租用铜锣湾时代广场两层写字楼，达3.8万平方呎，作为扩充业务及升级。至于经营网购的HKTVmall，据悉亦扩充物流中心楼面。业内人士指，租金下跌加上疫情缓和，个别企业近期重啟扩充，惟仅佔少数。

市场消息指，铜锣湾时代广场写字楼录得大手租务，涉及2座23及24楼全层，每层面积约1.9万平方呎，合共约3.8万平方呎，以每平方呎约45元租出。据悉，该厦高峰期呎租高见60元，如今回调约25%，亦是近期较少录得大手租务。

涉3.8万呎楼面 呎租约45元

据了解，新租客为外卖平台foodpanda，该品牌最近从多方面宣传，包括请来知名艺人拍广告。事实上，疫情期间因晚市禁堂食及市民减少外出，叫外卖的比例大幅增加，令该平台甚受欢迎。

今年首4个月，foodpanda在香港外卖市场市佔率达51%，位居首位。据悉，该公司目前租用上环商厦，如今预租时代广场两层作扩充业务，亦可升级至铜锣湾地标商厦。

另外，支付服务商BBPOS亦有所扩充业务，消息指，集团原租用荃湾如心广场低层单位约1.6万平方呎，如今扩充至全层，面积约2.1万平方呎，呎租料22元。该公司为全球大型支付终端供应商及首批供应行动刷卡机公司。

除了商厦外，亦有企业扩充物流中心楼面。消息指，青衣丰树物流中心全层单位，面积约14.7万平方呎，以每平方呎约15元租出。

据了解，新租客为经营网购的HKTVmall，集团早于2016年，租该厦全层楼面，如今扩充业务。

疫情期间市民网购需求上升，该公司生意在疫情下大增，故需要更多楼面，作储仓等之用。

代理：机构控成本 租金仍向下

对于有个别行业进行扩充，代理分析，疫情下涉及网购、外卖及科技等公司，生意没受明显影响，甚至上升，经过一年疫情后，相关机构预计后市转好，有扩充业务空间。

同时，商厦租金过去一年下跌，机构若生意保持稳定，便趁租平扩充写字楼。整体市况上，该代理指出近一两个月市场上渐有机构查询扩充业务，情况是去年极罕见，惟整体来说不算多，机构仍以控制成本为主，故相信商厦租金仍会向下，空置率未见明显回落，而九龙区因租金较便宜，亦吸引机构搬迁省租金，跌幅较低，全年料跌1至2%。

中环甲厦呎租111.8元 跌1.1%

商厦空置率偏高，租金持续向下。数据显示，中环整体甲厦租金按月仍跌约1.1%，过去一年租金跌约14%。

较去年跌约14.1%

据代理每月商厦租金统计显示，中环整体甲厦呎租报111.8元，按月跌约1.1%，较去年跌约14.1%，而区内超甲厦呎租为131.3元。

中环租金跌幅略为收窄，而上月甲厦租金跌幅，主要来自边綫地区，如铜锣湾最新呎租为60.5元，按月跌3.1%，而鰂鱼涌租金亦较上月跌约2.3%，两区跌幅较核心区为高。

近期市场录得租务不算多，中区租务主要来自搬迁活动，包括中国人寿富兰克林资产管理租用交易广场全中高层全层，面积约1.3万平方呎，呎租约120元，机构原租用同区长江集团中心 3楼，如今作出搬迁。此外，同区亦录律师楼租用约克大厦 3层，亦属同区搬迁。

外资预租太古坊二座 港岛最大

本年港岛区最大宗租务成交于港岛东录得，私人银行瑞士宝盛，预租明年落成的太古坊二座多层，涉约9.2万平方呎楼面，平均呎租约65元。机构现租用中环国金一期等楼面，搬迁料可节省大笔租金。

代理指出，疫情下机构「去中环化」大势持续，以节省租金支出，该行预计港岛东有新商厦落成，吸引中环租客迁至，料该区租金水平及空置率相对稳定。

金鐘指标甲厦 力宝中心放租 海富中心两户放盘

本地疫情缓和下，市场接连录得多宗商厦大楼面租赁成交，当中不乏核心区甲厦获青睞，反映企业对经济前景重拾信心，对设立办公室据点态度转趋乐观，而中环商业地王截标在，势必进一步推高核心地段甲厦市场气氛，诱使不少业主乘时推售单位，而属金鐘指标甲厦的力宝中心及海富中心，分别有连装修优质单位放盘。

力宝中心连装修户 每呎叫租40

代理指，有业主放租金鐘区甲级写字楼，分别为金鐘道89号力宝中心一座高层07至08室，面积约1,680平方呎，现以每平方呎约40餘元招租，单位望山景，景致舒适开扬，同时附有写字楼全装修，并已分间经理房及会议室等，亦将连部份傢俬出租，为準租客节省一大笔装修费及翻新时间，属现时市场上最受欢迎的租盘之一。

海富中心中高层连约 呎价3.5万

至于，另外两个单位，均位处金鐘夏愨道18号海富中心一座，分别放租及放售，出租单位位处中高层20室，面积约946平方呎，意向呎租约45元；单位已备有写字楼装修，租客可即租即用，为物业增加吸引力；而放售的单位属同层21室，面积约943平方呎，现以意向呎价约3.5万元放售，上址连租约，现时每平方呎租金收入约48元，租期至2023年，适合投资者购入收租。

参考市场上两幢甲级写字楼新近成交，其中力宝中心一座中层10至11室，面积约2,440平方呎，以约14.6万元租出，平均呎租约60元，而海富中心一座新近租务成交，可参考高层单位，面积约2,041平方呎，月租约10.9万元，平均呎租达53元。

该代理指，受社会事件及新冠肺炎疫情影响，与经济环境相联繫的写字楼市场已沉寂好一段时间，而经过近两年调整期，疫苖面世加上通关事宜逐步落实，写字楼市场渐露曙光，外资及内地企业过去一段时间都难抵港物色写字楼，而随着经济市道有所好转，本港核心区甲级商厦价格又见回调，料上述租、卖甲厦单位可吸引租客及投资者青睞。

商业活动需时恢復 空置续高企

环球疫情缓和，惟商业活动需时恢復，机构仍以收缩业务为主，需求未见反弹，加上供应渐多，空置率高企料维持一段时间。

第4波疫情近尾声，市民接种疫苗加快，本地疫情受控，商业活动陆续重啟，包括市民重新外出消费，带动零售市场。至于写字楼租务市场，始终关键是环球局势。欧美接种疫苗加快下，疫情大幅改善，陆续放宽防疫措施，商业活动慢慢恢復。

4月甲厦空置9.5% 升0.1百分点

本港甲厦新租务需求，多来自外资跨国机构租楼面，疫情期间环球封关，令甲厦活动大减，商厦连续多季录得负吸纳情况。目前环球疫情改善，惟跨国企业重新扩充海外业务，仍要待各国通关，现时似乎尚有一段距离。

据代理最新数字显示，4月底整体甲厦空置率为9.5%，按月升0.1个百分点，而中环甲厦空置率为7.5%，按月升0.2个百分点，而尖沙咀及东九龙，仍维持双位数。从而可见，甲厦租务活动仍疲弱，最近录得租务，多来自机构搬迁，包括中环同区搬迁，或迁出中环以节省租金，却极少扩充个案，故整体甲厦吸纳情况未有明显改善。

下半年展望上，目前为止环球仍有不少地区疫情仍颇严峻，环球商务活动仍难以短时间回復疫情前，相信新需求难以大幅反弹，令本港甲厦商厦高空置情况仍持续。值得留意，明年将为甲厦高峰期，多达300万平方呎楼面推出，并分布在核心区中环、非核心区港岛东，新兴商业区啟德，供应大幅增加，机构更多选择作搬迁，令租金进一步受压，而空置率料短期也难回调。

麦格理再退租国金一期楼面 中金公司每呎120元顶租 平旧约33%

在新冠肺炎疫情下，不少企业改变工作模式，减少租用写字楼楼面，从而节省租金开支。澳洲投资银行麦格理原租用中环超甲级商厦国际金融中心一期 (下称国金一期) 4层共8万方呎楼面，去年初提早退租1.6万方呎楼面后，新近再退租多1万方呎楼面，先后撤出共2.6万方呎楼面，逾一年内缩减32.5%租用面积。最新退租的18楼1万方呎楼面，已由中资的中金公司顶租，呎租120元，较麦格理承租的租金下跌33.3%。

仅餘5.4万呎 较首次入驻缩55%

据了解，麦格理自2008年起租用国金一期18楼至23楼共6层，总租用面积约12万方呎，作为香港区总部。经多年续约及减租楼面后，在2019年续租时只餘下18、20、22及23楼共4层，租用面积共约8万方呎，呎租约180元，涉及月租约1440万元，租期至2022年9月底。

不过，其后本港受社会事件及新冠肺炎疫情的连番打击，经济环境急转直下，不少跨国企业收缩规模以节省开支。麦格理去年4月率先提早逾两年退租20楼3室至15室共13个单位，租用面积共1.6万方呎，令该层只餘下约4000方呎继续租用。据悉，该1.6万方呎提早退租单位，已由共享工作空间承接。

虽然麦格理去年已减租楼面，但缩减规模的步伐持续，最新再进一步减租18楼5室至14室共10个单位，涉及租用面积共1万方呎，只继续租用该层一半楼面。连同去年4月退租的20楼在内，麦格理在过去超过一年时间内，共减少租用2.6万方呎楼面，佔2019年续租总面积约32.5%。现时只餘下5.4万方呎楼面继续租用，较2008年首度租用国金一期的楼面，大幅削减55%规模。

市场人士表示，麦格理早在去年底推出18楼的楼面招顶租，至近期因应市况好转，获得中资中金公司洽租，终以每呎120元顶租相关楼面，月租约120万元，呎租较麦格理两年前续租时的180元低33.3%。资料显示，中金公司在国金一期早已承租两层半楼面，但依然在同一大厦内寻求位置作扩充。

私银宝盛港总部迁太古坊二座

反之，外资以缩减规模、节省支出为主，瑞士私人银行宝盛集团 (Julius Baer Group Ltd) 早前亦决定，把香港总部由国金一期迁到明年落成的鰂鱼涌甲级商厦太古坊二座。该行现时租用国金一期37楼至39楼共3层，租用面积共4.8万方呎；另在同区交易广场二座承租两层，面积共2.5万方呎，日后将一併整合中环两个办公室至非核心区商厦，料可减少租金开支最少逾六成。

嘉民斥3.68亿购九龙湾货运中心

工厦物业有价有市，再录大手成交，九龙湾三湘九龙湾货运中心高层全层，以3.68亿连8个货车位售出，买家为澳洲嘉民物流集团。

据业内人士指出，上述成交连8个上落货车位，全层面积约69700方呎，呎价约5279元；同时，资料显示，嘉民物流集团于今年3月以1.82亿购入该厦低层B室，连4个上落货车位成交，故该集团于3个月内合共斥资5.5亿购入该厦单位。

面积约6.97万呎

该外资集团近期于本港频频购入工厦物业，资料显示，于今年2月以5.7亿向森信纸业购入观塘海裕工业中心半幢业权。该集团于多区均设有物流中心。于2018年更以27.51亿投得屯门小冷水路物流地皮，楼面呎价约3228元。

另一方面，甲厦市场亦录租赁成交，市场消息指出，金鐘力宝中心一座低层01室，面积约1991方呎，以约79640元租出，呎租约40元，属市价水平。

Hong Kong home prices join global surge

Global house prices are rising at their fastest rate since 2006, with home prices in Hong Kong rising 2.1 percent for the year ended March, the latest report by property agency shows.

Its Global House Price Index, which covers average prices across 56 countries and territories, increased 7.3 percent in the year to March.

Hong Kong was placed 46th on the list in terms of 12-months growth among those markets.

In Hong Kong, Wing Tai Properties (0369) will launch 37 units of Oma Oma in Tuen Mun on Sunday, 5-7 percent more expensive than the last batch.

The developer revealed a new price list yesterday. It covers studio flats to three-room units with an average price of HK$14,678 per square foot after discounts. Among them, 31 flats are priced at below HK$10 million.

In other news, Hip Shing Hong named its project at No 5 Victory Avenue in Ho Man Tin as Madera Garden. The developer plans to start sales this month. It will upload the brochure and price list and open a show flat to homebuyers within the month.

David Fong Man Hung, managing director of the developer, estimated housing prices would rise by 5 percent to 7 percent this year. However, he said he did not expect prices to surge as citizens are facing challenges to afford a home.

In the commercial market, more properties of the late property tycoon Tang Shing-bor, also known as Uncle Bor, were sold by the family.

Tang's family sold a shop at 39 Chatham Road South in Tsim Sha Tsui and another at 165 Sai Yee Street in Mong Kok for HK$324 million combined.

This means that the family has sold a total of 10 properties in the past couple of weeks, cashing in more than HK$900 million.

Separately, Chow Sang Sang Jewellery (0116) said the company's sales in recent quarters have recovered, thanks to a low base from a year earlier, and it is maintaining a target of opening 100 stores this year.

The company said it will install Octopus devices in local jewelry stores to prepare for the upcoming digital voucher scheme.

Hong Kong’s rising home prices, luxury flat sales push property deals to a two-year high at US$11.3 billion in May

Turnover rose 2.9 per cent month on month to HK$87.6 billion (US$11.3 billion) last month, the highest after HK$90.32 billion reached in May 2019

Property agent expects first-half turnover to reach an all-time high of HK$395 billion, surpassing the previous record set in the first half of 1997

Bullish investors pushed the value of property transactions in Hong Kong to a 24-month high last month, helped by rising house prices and luxury flat sales.

The value of transactions rose 2.9 per cent month on month to HK$87.6 billion (US$11.3 billion) in May, according to figures from Land Registry on Wednesday. It was the highest since May 2019, when the turnover stood at HK$90.32 billion.

However, overall transactions, including homes, shops, industrial and office units, eased 2 per cent month on month to 8,965 in May, the government data showed.

“The data indicates more demand for expensive properties, as homes worth more than HK$10 million recorded significant growth last month,” property agent said. The trend will continue this month, the agent added.

Amid growing optimism over the strength of Hong Kong’s economic recovery and the pandemic being brought under control in the city, an increasing number of investors are choosing to park their capital in property. Hong Kong ended six consecutive quarters of economic decline caused by the coronavirus pandemic, posting a 7.8 per cent growth in the first quarter, the strongest in 11 years. Unemployment fell to 6.4 per cent in April from 7.2 per cent in February.

The agent pointed to the success of new project launches, most of which were sold out last month. He said close to 300 out of 380 units at South Land project near Wong Chuk Hang MTR station were sold at an average price of over HK$20 million, while the number of transactions of lived-in homes costing more than HK$10 million climbed to 1,064 deals, the highest in two years.

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices also extended gains for the fourth straight month in April, taking them to their highest level since July 2019, data from Rating and Valuation Department showed last week. They are within about 1.5 per cent of a historic high recorded in May 2019, before the anti-government protests kicked off.

With more potential investors hastening their buying decisions fearing further increase in home prices, the number of new homes sold jumped 47.8 per cent month on month in May to 1,558, while their value rose to HK$26.9 billion, the most since HK$32.6 billion reached in May 2019, property agency said.

Apart from luxury flats, investors were also channelling capital into car parking spaces, taking advantage of the removal of extra stamp duty on non-residential transactions in November.

The agent said sales of car parking bays jumped 18 per cent month on month in May.

the property agency said that the buoyant property market sentiment could push first-half transactions to an all-time high of HK$395 billion and in the process overtake the previous record of HK$388.8 billion set in the first half of 1997.

The Executive Centre bought by KKR and Tiga Investments as pandemic spurs consolidation of Hong Kong’s flexible workspace sector

Deal marks the latest consolidation in an industry that has been restructuring amid the global downturn triggered by Covid-19

TEC has more than 150 centres in 32 cities and 14 markets, including China, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Australia and the Middle East

Hong Kong-based flexible workspace provider The Executive Centre has been acquired by private-equity firm KKR and Tiga Investments for an undisclosed amount, the company announced on Tuesday.

It marks the latest consolidation in an industry that has been restructuring amid the global downturn triggered by Covid-19.

“We are pleased to welcome KKR and Tiga Investments to The Executive Centre as our new investors,” said Paul Salnikow, founder and chief executive officer of TEC. “It’s a powerful partnership, well matched to drive the continued performance and growth of TEC.”

The acquisition indicates the confidence of investors in the flexible office space segment, according to analysts, even as the likes of US-based WeWork have been giving up space in Hong Kong.

WeWork has reduced its footprint by more than half since the coronavirus pandemic triggered widespread work-from-home arrangements last year.

The consortium of KKR and Singapore-based Tiga acquired its stake from funds advised by HPEF Capital Partners and CVC Capital Partners, which owned 70 and 20 per cent of TEC respectively. HPEF was an investor in TEC since 2005, and CVC since 2014.

TEC declined to discuss the acquisition terms but in 2019, amid the social unrest that brought Hong Kong to a standstill, the company paused its decision to go public and sell shares for US$750 million, which would have allowed HPEF and CVC to dispose of their stake in the company.

“KKR and Tiga are acquiring a strongly profitable business at every level,” said Salnikow, who reiterated that the company is still pursuing a long-term growth target of 20 per cent in terms of expansion. TEC currently has more than 150 centres in 32 cities and 14 markets, including China, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Australia and the Middle East. Its annual turnover is in excess of US$237 million.

“The long-term growth rate of 20 per cent is still something that we want to achieve over the next five years, but will we continue to grow 20 per cent this year, next year, and the year after? Unlikely. The right opportunity [will come from being] more thoughtful about expansion this year and taking advantage of market opportunities more aggressively in 2022 and 2023,” said Salnikow.

TEC is adding more centres this year in Tokyo, Hong Kong and India and has a line-up of expansions in Australia.

The acquisition of TEC was “expected”, given that the segment has been consolidating, according to property agent.

“With the economy rebounding, many businesses are taking a cautiously optimistic approach to expanding,” the agent said. “Flexible working space provides are a perfect platform for these companies as they do not need much upfront capital investment to set up.”

The flexible office space, or co-working, segment can provide a solution for companies adapting to a new normal in which employees spend more time working from home.

“We believe flexible office leasing will remain a long-term strategy for occupiers,” another agent said.

The consolidation in the industry in Hong Kong began in 2019, when the city was riven by political instability, and continued last year when the pandemic hit. This served to “eliminate some weak players”, according to another agent.

“In the long term, co-working space is viable, but operators should provide more value-added services to tenants such as organising business activities and seminars,” the agent said.

Hong Kong’s street shops in flux as pandemic upends businesses, creates new opportunities

April saw 186 shop transactions, an 18 per cent increase over March, stretching a rally of three months and marking a 56-month high

The worst has passed, as far as shops are concerned, market observer says

Hong Kong’s street shop landscape has transformed dramatically following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, reflecting the changing fortunes of investors and industries amid the unprecedented dislocation it has caused.

Some investors, including property industry heavyweights, are buying shops at low prices while others are selling them, partly because some businesses are struggling. According to the Land Registry, shop transactions rose for a third month in April, adding 18 per cent over March to 186 , and marking a 56-month high.

“Many of those active before the coronavirus outbreak are [now] selling shops. Very often, those who sell shops are in industries affected [by the pandemic]”, said Edwin Lee, founder and chief executive of Bridgeway Prime Shop Fund Management.

The buying and selling of shops reflects the changing fortunes of industries, with banks, cosmetic chains, bakery chains and investors related to The Center acquisition selling shops since the coronavirus pandemic started, Lee said. For instance, banks were selling shops because of virtual banks – they do not need so many branches now, he said.

Many of those who are buying now are those who had stayed silent in the market for a long time and wanted to “buy low”, Lee said. There are also new investors who are exploring alternative property investments, or shops for their own use.

“The worst time for the shop market has passed,” Lee said, adding that the prospect of travel bubbles, consumption vouchers and the government’s plan to buy shops had led to a feeling of optimism. Transaction volumes will surge by one to 1.5 times this year from about 1,000 deals last year, Lee said. Shop prices in residential districts will appreciate by 20 per cent to 30 per cent, while those in core districts will rise 10 per cent to 15 per cent, he predicted.

E-commerce, particularly during the pandemic, had also triggered a change of fortunes. Every consumption market sees changes, property agent said. “This time, the difference is big,” the agent said. “This does not [diminish] the importance of shops. Shops will be [used] for new industries.”

The agent has spent about HK$168 million (US$21.7 million) on three shops since February. These include a shop in Percival House, across Times Square in Causeway Bay, which cost him HK$66.8 million.

“We think the shop market has bottomed out. So we started to enter the market for investments. It starts with prime [properties]. Shops in core districts are particularly valuable – it was not easy to buy one in the past 10 years,” the agent said. “In the last two years, there has been social unrest and the coronavirus outbreak. So the market was very unusually battered, time after time.”

Founder of an agency group said his charity foundation bought a shop for recurrent income recently. The 1,400 sq ft property at Lee Hing Building in Mong Kok cost about HK$47 million.

“The timing was about right, as rents had fallen quite a lot. [But] the pandemic is about to fade -investors need to take a step early [and] consider the prospects,” the agent said. The agent also attributed the “difficult” business of shops to a wave targeting and scaring away mainland Chinese consumers during the city’s anti-government protests.

But Beijing will, in the long term, encourage people to visit and shop in Hong Kong as “China and the US are struggling” and “Beijing wants to prove that, even under US sanctions, Hong Kong has room for development”, the agent said.

Some investors, however, are looking to shrink their portfolios. The family of “shop king” Tang Shing-bor, who died recently, has set its asking prices for 39 properties worth about HK$4.15 billion that it is putting up for sale, according to a list recently circulated by agents and confirmed by the Stan Group, Tang’s company.

The most valuable property on the list is the 14-storey Woon Yin Building in Wan Chai, which has been priced at HK$390 million. It was listed by property agency in September last year at an indicative price of HK$400 million.

“The group will continue to sell noncore projects in response to market opportunities, as well as actively look for local potential investment projects to optimise its investment portfolio,” Stan Group’s spokeswoman said.

受疫情等因素重创，甲厦观望气氛瀰漫，租金跌势未止。有外资代理行指，受空置率持续高企影响，料今年整体甲厦租金下跌5%至8%。

该代理昨日发表了最新的市场报告。代理认为，中环核心区甲厦空置率今年4月没有进一步恶化，惟高空置率对租金构成一定压力，租金向下趋势持续，预计今年港岛区甲厦全年下跌5至8%。

明年上半年料反弹1%至3%

代理续指，虽然有部分写字楼仍有较高空置率，惟疫情持续缓和，经济环境改善，投资者恢復信心和失业率下跌，相信整体港岛区甲厦租金将于今年下半年稳定下来，港岛区甲级写字楼租金将有机会在2022年上半年反弹，租金有望回升1至3%。

代理指，去年总零售销货额按年跌近25%，受疫情影响，令网购更普及化，相信比例持续上升，因此对商铺需求或减少而令市场对租金长远受压，料整体铺租今年跌约10%至15%。

代理指，随着疫情回稳，预期今年一、二手住宅销售量将达至约6至6.2万宗，高于去年的5.9万宗。现今楼价仅较2019年高位低2.2%，在现时购买力仍然强劲下，新盘销情理想，相信有机会蔓延到二手市场，预期今年住宅楼价表现比预期好，预计一般住宅楼价上升3%，豪宅楼价料上升5%。整体而言，以600万至1000万中细价物业及超级豪宅表现较好。

工商铺买卖高位反覆 6月试冲700宗

代理表示，工商铺市道进一步好转，相信登记量会受盘源多寡影响而偶有波动，但目前升市大方向未改，6月登记量有望试上700宗。根据代理资料所得，2021年4月全港共录得693宗工商铺物业买卖登记 (数字主要反映2至4星期前市场实际状况)，较3月的618宗上升12%，连升2个月，创下24个月新高，已走出社会事件及疫情阴霾；至于期内买卖合约总值录得132.23亿元，按月劲升99%，主要受惠月内有较多逾亿元的大额登记刺激。

按工商铺3个物业类别划分，工厦按月登记量仍然佔最多，并逐渐逼近400宗水平，创24个月高位。4月全月工厦录得382宗登记，按月上升9%，佔整体工商铺成交达55%。当中升幅贡献有不少来自银码介乎1,000万至2,000万元以内及2,000万至5,000万元以内组别的登记，期内分别录得43宗及20宗，按月各升72%及150%。而在中高价类别登记畅旺下，4月工厦买卖金额大升87%，录得约53.28亿元。

商厦125成交 按月升13%

商厦买卖登记量则稳步向好，但仍是3类物业中，宗数佔比最少者。随着整体经济出现復甦，买卖渐趋热闹，带动4月商厦登记进一步上升，4月商厦买卖登记共有125宗，按月升13%；当中尤以1亿元或以上的大银码表现较亮丽，单月录得8宗登记，较对上1个月的零成交明显加快，亦带动4月整体商厦买卖登记金额按月激增3.84倍，录得近53.31亿元。

至于店铺买卖登记量方面，4月继续拾级上升，连涨3个月，印证零售消费市道持续回暖。数据显示，4月店铺录得186宗登记，按月再升18%，为工商铺中升幅最大的类别。不过，升幅主要集中在细价物业，而5,000万元以上者则录得跌幅，故亦拖累月月内店铺买卖登记总额背驰回落，只录得25.63亿元，按月减少4%。

代理指出，目前整体市场气氛依然旺盛，復甦势头持续，料在轻微整固后，预期落入6月的整体工商铺登记量可再次回升，并尝试突破700宗的又一关口。

疫情稳定 铺位交投明显加快

近一个月疫情明显稳定，零售及餐饮气氛转好，带动商铺交投明显加快，由大码至中、细码商铺，均录得成交。

利嘉阁（工商铺）工商铺资料显示，2021年4月全港共录186宗店铺买卖登记﹙数字主要反映2至4星期前的实际市况﹚，较3月的158宗再升18%，连升3个月并创56个月（即逾4年半）以来新高，反映店铺市道进一步转旺。

按物业价格划分，在7个价格组别当中，共有3个组别的登记量报升，升幅介乎15%至156%不等。当中以200万至500万元以内组别的登记量升幅最可观，由前月的16宗增至上月的41宗，升幅多达1.56倍。至于2,000万至5,000万元以内及500万至1,000万元以内的2个价组别亦分别升17%至35宗。

耀才证券叶茂林2.1亿购铜锣湾铺

最近商铺成交焦点，尽在邓成波家族旗下物业上，铺王波叔早前离世，其家族近日明显加快沽货。近日沽出较贵重物业为铜锣湾怡和街46至54号地下及地库，地下面积1,230平方呎，地库面积约6,121平方呎，合共约7,351平方呎，现由电讯店以每月45.5万元租用，以约2.1亿元成交。据悉，邓成波于2016年以2.038亿元购入，早前曾以约2.8亿元放售，直至最近再降价，终以约2.1亿元易手，减价约25%。持货5年转手，仅平手离场，据知，新买家为耀才证券叶茂林。

另外，该家族亦连环沽出旺角大楼面铺位，包括以约8,100万沽出新填地街142至144号地下至2楼酒楼铺位，面积合共约8,030平方呎，现由酒楼以每月18.7万元租用。据悉，业主原叫价约8,500万元，减价约5%沽出。据悉该物业早于1992年以约600万元购入，持货29年转手，获利约7,500万元离场。另外，旗下荃湾杨屋道118号立坊地铺连1楼，地铺面积4,492平方呎，而1楼则大约5,088平方呎，合共约9,580平方呎，以约1.2亿元沽出。

投资者炒湾仔道铺 月内赚600万

市场买卖成交增，更录得短綫获利个案。如湾仔道87号地下及阁楼，面积合共约1,100平方呎，以约3,700万元易手，铺位以交吉交易。原业主为投资者，上月初以约3,100万元购入，持货不足1个月，获利约600万元。另西营盘第三街56至72号地下，面积约800平方呎，以约2,750万元成交，原业主持货5个月，获利约900万元。

分析指，疫情近期转稳定，市民重新外出消费，令商铺买卖气氛转好，加上个别投资者如邓成波家族积极沽货，吸引投资者重投铺市，令成交量及金额同步上升。预计疫情持续稳定下，整体市况亦向好，若下半年中港通关，铺市投资气氛料更为炽热。

Mount Nicholson车位1020万售 全球最贵

造价可买太古城2房 会德丰：属市价

香港楼价冠全球，连带车位造价亦贵绝全球。山顶Mount Nicholson以招标形式发售车位，其中一个车位以1,020万元售出，问鼎全球最贵车位，银码足够购买一个太古城的2房单位。

九仓 (00004) 及南丰合作发展的山顶Mount Nicholson，早年推售时12楼C及D室以11.65亿元售出，平均呎价13.21万元，登上全亚洲最贵分层楼王宝座，纪录近月才被打破。据了解，发展商4月份开始以招标形式推售15个车位，招标文件显示该批车位底价介乎880万至950万元，惟项目业主全属超级富豪，出手相当阔绰，有指1号车位以1,020万元售出，另一个92号车位则以930万元售出，两者均打破全港车位造价新高纪录，1号车位更问鼎全球最贵车位宝座。

不过，相关车位目前仍未于成交纪录册显示，发展商回应指，Mount Nicholson早前以招标形式推售车位，暂未有详情公布。会德丰地产主席梁志坚回应传媒查询指，Mount Nicholson车位是一般市价，销售价格已经与住户商讨过才推出。又指已经应承住户车位价钱，不会额外提高。

赌王四太扫入6个车位

据资料显示，Mount Nicholson共提供48伙分层单位及19幢洋房，而分配予分层单位的车位则共有76个，平均每户有1.5个，比例应该足够。惟业主全属超级富豪，车位需求殷切，有指持有2套相连单位的赌王四太梁安琪购入6个车位，大鸿辉集团梁绍鸿则购入4个车位。尚嘉执行董事兼行政总裁吴士元回应查询指，四太有买入Mount Nicholson车位，但不是买最贵那个。

资料显示，原本全港最贵车位由何文田天铸去年以660万元创造，消息指中半山宝珊道1号有车位以690万易手打破纪录。但新纪录旋即被Mount Nicholson造价拋离。

有指Mount Nicholson昨日又有20个车位发售，有造价达1,200万元，若以每个车位面积135平方呎计，呎价约8.9万元，贵过不少中半山豪宅。

资深投资者吴贤德认为，从投资角度看，逾千万元买车位未必有投资价值，但因为物业属山顶超豪宅，车位对于豪宅业主属必需品，相信他们买入车位亦不是用作投资收租；加上物业户户价值逾数亿元，一个车位逾千万元其实亦合乎比例。

李寧妻2.3亿 首置21 BORRETT ROAD

中层2945呎5房间隔 呎价约79049

名人接连入市本港豪宅新盘，根据土地註册处资料，半山区西部波老道21号新盘21 BORRETT ROAD第1期中层单号室，实用面积2,945平方呎，属5房间隔，近日以2.328亿元，连两个车位成交，呎价约79,049元。

除名自制首置 慳税逾2500万

而是次陈永妍购入21 BORRETT ROAD单位，需付相等于楼价4.25%的印花税，反映她以首置名义入市，变相慳税逾2,500万。

另外，中半山花园台3座中层B室，4月底以1.02亿元，并连两个车位成交。EPRC经济地产库显示，上述单位的实用面积为2,943平方呎，属3房间隔，呎价约34,659元。

而土地註册处资料显示，新买家为关陈燕坤，相信是曾担任监警会委员、建造业训练局主席、汇贤智库成员及香港建造商会副会长等多项职务的关治平的家族成员。

原业主早于1998年底以1850万元承接「摸货」，他持货近23年，现时易手帐面获利8350万元，物业升值约4.5倍。

Honk if you're shocked: parking space on Peak sells for $10.2m

A parking space in Mount Nicholson on The Peak has been sold for HK$10.2 million - more than 50 percent higher than the previous record of HK$6.6 million in Ultima at Homantin Hill and enough to buy a two-room unit in upscale Tai Koo Shing.

It is believed to be the most expensive parking spot in the world, agent said. The agent noted that there are parking spaces in Manhattan's SoHo district in New York City that are priced at US$1 million each (HK$7.8 million).

As the prices of luxury flats soar and the rich are willing to pay, it is natural for parking spot prices to grow accordingly, agent said.

Mount Nicholson was codeveloped by Nan Fung Group and Wharf, with Wheelock Properties responsible for sales. The developers have sold several parking spaces recently by tender, with a minimum price of HK$9.3 million, according to a property agent.

The late tycoon Stanley Ho Hung-sun's fourth wife, Angela Leong On-ki - who spent HK$1.3 billion for four flats in Mount Nicholson as gifts for her two daughters - is also among the buyers of parking spaces, said Terry Ng Sze-yuen, chief executive at L'Avenue, the holding company for Leong's properties.

Wheelock chairman Stewart Leung Chi-kin said the prices were at market level after discussion with the residents since the project is facing a shortage of parking spaces. A spokesperson of the developer confirmed that parking spaces in the luxury project were launched via tender earlier.

The brochure showed that each space covers 135 square feet, which is slightly bigger than the smallest unit of T Plus in Tuen Mun which is 128 sq ft.

The per-sq-ft price of the HK$10.2 million parking space comes in at around HK$75,556.

Mount Nicholson is being developed in three phases, offering 67 units in total, including 19 houses and 48 flats. Since 76 parking spaces were put for sale in phase two and phase three, this suggests a parking-space-to-unit ratio of nearly 1.5 times.

In 2017, developers sold two flats in Mount Nicholson for nearly HK$1.17 billion combined, with an average price of HK$132,100 per sq ft, making them the priciest flats in Asia at the time.

The record was broken in February by CK Asset's project at 21 Borrett Road. The selling price was HK$460 million, with an average price of HK$136,000 per sq ft.

Pavilia Farm draws rush to register

New World Development (0017) received about 27,000 registrations of intent from potential buyers for the 331 flats in the first two price lists of the third phase of The Pavilia Farm above Tai Wai Station.

The flats were nearly 80 times oversubscribed, the highest number of registrations since 1997.

The developer previously released 149 flats in the second price list of the third phase at an average price of HK$21,368 per sq ft after discounts, 6.9 percent higher than the first batch.

The developer will offer 331 flats in the first two price lists for sale tomorrow.

The first phase of the project received more than 22,700 registrations of interest in the first round of sale.

Meanwhile, Henderson Land Development (0012) will offer 28 flats at The Upper South in Ap Lei Chau for sale today. They are offered at between HK$4.39 million and HK$7.2 million, or between HK$23,606 per sq ft and HK$27,381 per sq ft after discounts.

In the luxury property market, Chen Yongyan, the wife of former Olympic gymnast Li Ning, bought a 2,945-sq-ft flat at 21 Borrett Road in Mid-Levels for HK$232.8 million, or HK$79,049 per sq ft.

And Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) sold a 2,760-sq-ft house at Shouson Peak for HK$194 million.

楼市转畅旺，丰泰地产投资管理合伙人暨投资长朱惠德认为，本港住宅长期供不应求，故疫情下价格没回调，下半年仍向好。至于受正面冲击的商用物业，他谓价格已见底，惟等待通关才有望反弹。

近两个多月疫情缓和，住宅市场即转旺，新盘销售炽热。朱惠德分析，住宅楼价一直没回调，基本因素是供应不足，「住宅已提过很多年供不应求，半年前疫情期间，我亦表示睇好住宅市场，因为刚性需求好强，特别低息环境。现时不够供应，累积需求很大，近期成交如中价物业、豪宅造价均理想，新盘销情已反映。」

豪宅市场上，他指即使成交量不多，造价屡创新高，亦反映整体市况甚佳，下半年楼价相信仍硬净，「量化宽鬆下，全世界股市畅旺，兼享低息环境，楼价硬净。要留意通胀是短暂还是长远，全球量化宽鬆下短暂出现通胀，长远要睇经济动力。下半年楼价是否尚有很大升幅？可能仅平稳发展轻微向升，成交量肯定会多。」

农地转用途 指政府实在太慢

丰泰透过收旧楼增加土地储备，发展住宅，关于供应不足，他则一再提到政府应该简化批则过程，令发展商加快兴建以增加供应。「政府在农地转用途上实在太慢，旧楼重建以前快得多，现在很多限制。」他又以海外物业发展与港比较，「丰泰在日本、韩国及澳洲起楼，批则快得多，在日本兴建酒店，涉及百多间房，由买地至入伙仅23个月，香港要4年半时间。当地一个政府部门处理，香港却由多个部门进行，流程太慢。」

住宅项目上，集团与资本策略合作的山顶道项目现推售中，据悉部分单位亦获承接。

相比之下，疫情对商用物业冲击，明显较住宅高，因商务活动叫停，旅游业一潭死水，写字楼、商铺屡现空置，租金向下，朱惠德指，香港是国际金融中心，旅游城市，疫情可谓「食到应」。香港一直依靠国际机构、欧美或内地产业，封关很难有增长，国际机构不能派员来港视察。他认为，近日工商物业买卖及租务成交，造价回稳，已是转好迹象，「租售价从高位回调1至2成或以上，相信已见底，通关后反弹可望加快，而通关的基本条件是打疫苗。」

餐饮不可代替 商铺有需求

零售物业上，以地区商场表现较佳，丰泰早年购入将军澳全新商场项目，目前出租率达9成，包括人气超市donki，「香港人无得去旅行，留在港消费，支持本土零售及餐饮。受疫情最大冲击是核心区商铺及酒店，因涉及旅游业。但民生区商铺租金表现好，生意稳定。」

环球疫情持续一年多，市民为免感染，减少外出上班或消费，衍生了「在家工作」，并增加网购。当中涉及商厦及铺位楼面，需求会否出现结构改变？他则认为，亚洲区住屋细，较难在家工作，效率颇低未必会长久，机构或採个别日子容许员工在家工作，但租用楼面没减少。

网上购物方面，他指电子商贸无疑是趋势，香港发展较慢，惟餐饮是不可代替，必定对商铺有需求。

Pavilia Farm sells out as more flats put on market

New World Development (0017) has released 338 flats in the third price list for the third phase of The Pavilia Farm above Tai Wai Station at an average price of HK$22,600 per square foot after discounts, 13 percent higher than the first price list.

The 338 flats measure between 307 sq ft and 1,022 sq ft.

The cheapest flat, measuring 307 sq ft, is offered at HK$6.89 million, or HK$22,440 per sq ft, after a maximum 20 percent discount is applied.

NWD expects to launch the second round of sales on Saturday.

The developer has collected about HK$4.37 billion after selling all the 331 flats in the first two price lists at the third phase on Saturday.

NWD had received about 27,000 registrations of intent from potential buyers for the 331 flats, making them 80 times oversubscribed, and the highest number of registrations since 1997.

Meanwhile, CK Asset (1113) has raked in about HK$640 million after selling three flats at 21 Borrett Road in the Mid-Levels.

In the secondary market, an property agency reported 19 secondary deals at 10 blue-chip housing estates over the past weekend, down by 9.5 percent from a week before.

A 284-sq-ft flat at City One Shatin in Sha Tin changed hands for HK$5.68 million, or HK$20,000 per sq ft.

The seller, who bought the flat for HK$1.05 million in 2001, will gain HK$4.63 million.

New World’s latest property launch sells out as Hong Kong’s homebuyers return in droves amid buoyant sentiments

The developer of The Pavilia Farm Phase III in Tai Wai sold all 331 flats before 8pm, with 27,000 bids received

Unsuccessful buyers today may be able to bid for the next batch of property released at a later date

New World Development has reported another sell-out property launch, as Hong Kong’s real estate investors piled into the city’s biggest weekend sale since November, their confidence boosted by a tapering coronavirus situation in the city.

The developer of The Pavilia Farm Phase III in Tai Wai sold all 331 flats on offer before 8pm for HK$4.37 billion (US$563.4 million) in sales revenue. A record 27,000 registrations of interest were received through

New World’s smartphone application, or 82 bids for every available flat on average. Unsuccessful buyers today may be able to bid for the next batch of property released at a later date.

“The economy is gradually improving, with the gross domestic product rising and unemployment rate falling,” property agent said, adding that the agent expects today’s offerings to “definitely sell out.” “The pandemic is also beginning to be under control. These are beneficial to the overall housing market.”

The brisk transactions at The Pavilia Farm put Hong Kong’s residential property prices on track to set a record and race ahead of the tentative recovery in the city’s economic growth pace. Hong Kong could see more than 2,500 new homes sold and up to 6,000 lived-in homes changing hands this month, Po said. Homes prices could rise 2 per cent this month and break records soon, the agent added.

The Pavilia Farm, a joint project with Hong Kong’s subway operator MTR Corporation, features 3,090 apartments of various sizes. Up to 2,100 units in phases I and II had been sold since October 2020. Phase III, due for completion in June 2023, comprises 892 flats. The units on offer today started at 310 square feet, going up to 1,022 sq ft (95 square metres), priced from HK$6.7 million to HK$24 million.

The average price in today’s sale rose to HK$19,999 per square foot even with up to 20 per cent in discounts, 0.8 per cent higher than Phase II last October and 6 per cent higher than Phase I.

There were 54 bulk purchases, involving buyers who snapped up more than one property each, the biggest deal being one valued at HK$69 million, agents said.

The recent ease in pandemic and anticipation for border reopening are heating market sentiment and adding to buyers’ confidence, another agent said, adding that the robust demand could accommodate a price increase of between 3 and 5 per cent in the upcoming launches.

“The Pavilia Farm [has broken] a 20-year record for subscriptions for the second time,” said New World’s chief executive Adrian Cheng. “The group will develop more patented products to deliver sophistication and convenience to residents, satisfying their need for a higher quality and healthier lifestyle.”

The project is also located with proximity to public transport and amenities such as shopping centres. The lack of new property developments in the neighbourhood, reasonable pricing and robust rental yields are all contributing to The Pavilia Farm’s success, said Po.

Hong Kong parking spot sells for record US$1.3 million, bolstering Mount Nicholson’s claim as world’s most expensive address

A parking bay in the tiny neighbourhood of Mount Nicholson on The Peak fetched over HK$10 million (US$1.3 million)

The previous world record for a parking bay was also in Hong Kong, when it went for HK$7.6 million in October 2019

A car parking bay at the exclusive Mount Nicholson development on The Peak sold for more than HK$10 million (US$1.3 million), smashing a world record set in 2019, according to a source familiar with the sale.

The developers Wharf (Holdings) and Nan Fung Group sold 29 parking spaces in phase two and three of the luxury project through a closed tender to homeowners last month, with one of the spots selling for over HK$10 million, the source said.

With a standard parking space measuring around 134.5 sq ft (12.5 square metres), the transacted price works out to HK$74,350 per square foot. The previous record was HK$7.6 million, set in October 2019, at The Center, a 73-storey office tower in Central.

“It is definitely the most expensive car parking spot in Hong Kong,” property agent said.

Car-parking space is so expensive in Hong Kong that it has turned into a subsector in itself, for speculators to buy and sell parking bays in rapid succession to make a quick profit. At the height of the speculative fervour, 8,968 slots worth HK$16.64 billion were recorded in 2018, the most since records began in 1996, according to the agency.

The asset class is again witnessing increasing transactions as sentiment improves among property investors, who are taking advantage of the extra stamp duty on non-residential transactions that was eliminated in November. Another property agency said on Wednesday that sales of car parking bays jumped 18 per cent month on month in May.

For flats ranging from 4,200 sq ft to 4,600 sq ft each, costing between HK$400 million and HK$600 million each at Mount Nicholson, the agent said that the owners spending around HK$10 million for a parking spot was not a big deal.

“What concerns them most is that they need space to park their cars and not the money. They have bought it for their own use and not as an investment,” the agent  said.

One owner, who did not want to be named amid concerns for his safety, told the South China Morning Post that he paid more than HK$36 million for four parking bays last month, each costing over HK$9 million. He said the developers’ starting price was HK$8.8 million per spot.

He said each flat owner had the right to buy 1.5 parking spots. As he owned three flats, he said he was able to buy four parking spots, adding that one his neighbours bought six as she owned four flats.

All the transactions for the parking spaces were conducted last month, the source said.

Stewart Leung, chairman of Wheelock Properties, the sales agent of Mount Nicholson, said the prices of the parking spaces were in line with the market.

“We consulted the owners before finalising the estimated value for the parking bays,” he said. He declined to disclose the selling prices.

Mount Nicholson sealed its reputation as the priciest address in Hong Kong, with the most expensive unit in Asia in 2017.

In November 2017, a buyer named Lin Zhong-min paid HK$1.16 billion for two units on the same day, according to Land Registry records. That buyer paid HK$560 million for a 4,242 sq ft four-bedroom unit, about HK$132,000 per square foot, on the 12th floor. On a square-footage basis, it is now the second most expensive residence in Asia. The same buyer also paid HK$600 million, or HK$131,000 per square foot, for a 4,579 sq ft unit on the same floor.

In February, a buyer named Yin Xi paid HK$459.4 million, or HK$136,000 per sq ft for a 3,378 sq ft apartment at CK Asset Holdings’ 21 Borrett Road luxury residential project in Mid-Levels, making it Asia’s most expensive apartment on a square foot basis.

Other flat owners at Mount Nicholson include Alice Ho Chiu-yan, daughter of the late Macau casino tycoon Stanley Ho Hung-sun, who paid HK$646 million for two adjoining units on the ninth floor. Sabrina Ho Chiu-yeng, her sister, bought two adjoining units on the 10th floor for HK$644.6 million in 2017.

Industry observers said that the supply of parking spaces in exclusive developments such as Mount Nicholson would be limited, as the price of land in Hong Kong’s most exclusive address has surged over the past 10 years because of low supply.

“If there is a demand for parking spaces, owners have to buy it from the developer, and they won’t sell it cheap,” property agent said.

Exodus of Hongkongers triggered by national security law unlikely to dent city’s home prices, say analysts

The city’s famously lofty home prices, which were subdued by the pandemic, are once again on the rise and approaching previous highs

They are unlikely to be tamed by a wave of people leaving in the wake of the controversial security law seen as limiting their freedoms

A wave of people leaving Hong Kong in the wake of 2019’s social unrest and the later introduction of a controversial national security law has proved insufficient to dampen the city’s famously lofty property market.

Home prices, which took a small hit from the coronavirus pandemic, are once again on the rise and approaching previous record highs. The reasons are numerous, and include a lack of supply and the fact not everyone leaving chooses to sell up, according to analysts.

“While a higher level of migration may be unfavourable to residential prices, the negative effect is likely to be minimal as it is insufficient to turn around the severe supply-demand imbalance,” agent said. “In fact, on the contrary, this current wave of migration may have the net effect of triggering a higher transaction volume, supporting mass residential prices.”

The number of applications for certificates required for visas, and withdrawals of Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) savings on the grounds of permanent departure from Hong Kong has risen in recent months. Many Hongkongers are looking to move overseas to escape what they perceive to be the erosion of certain freedoms by an increasingly bold Beijing.

For instance, in the third quarter of 2020, withdrawals from the city’s retirement savings scheme reached 8,100 cases, compared to a quarterly average of 7,600 cases in 2019, according to data from Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority.

But the exodus will probably not translate to a slowdown in the housing market, say analysts.

“Historical precedence shows that a higher level of migration out of Hong Kong, with the assumption that many of them sell their properties, was not necessarily going to drive prices down,” agent said.

Between 1985 and 1997, about 576,000 residents emigrated from Hong Kong, according to BBC Chinese citing Security Bureau data.

During that period, mass residential prices climbed by more than 7.5 times, at an average of 19.6 per cent per year, according to the government’s Rating and Valuation Department, while the economy enjoyed average annual nominal growth of 14.2 per cent. Residential prices appeared to be little affected by the wave of migration, according to property agency.

“Not everyone who leaves has a property,” said Kevin Tsui, associate professor at Clemson University in South Carolina, a Hongkonger who often comments on the city’s affairs. “For those leaving Hong Kong, not everyone sells their homes. Many of them heard about [people] leaving around 1997 selling their properties and not being able to afford one again after that.”

Tsui said some of those emigrating because of Hong Kong’s political situation are likely to wait and see what happens, and may decide to come back one day.

There are also a lot of “new Hongkongers” – mainland Chinese who have recently acquired permanent residency in the city – ready to snap up homes vacated by emigrants. “This leads to a minimal change in overall demand,” Tsui said.

The Chinese or Hong Kong governments may try to offset any possible changes in home prices caused by emigration, with measures such as relaxing the restrictions on home purchases by mainlanders, Tsui added.

Hong Kong’s secondary home prices could rise by 5 to 10 per cent in 2021, driven by the highest loan-to-value ratios in a decade and ample liquidity, said Patrick Wong, senior industry analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence.

“Average home prices rose 4.7 per cent year-to-date according to property agency’s data, suggesting that we have many more buyers to bid up the prices despite the increase [in the] number of sellers due to the wave of emigration,” Wong said.

The recent spike of households planning to leave Hong Kong could boost the value of annual secondary home sales to the highest level since 1997, Wong said. The number of such transactions could increase 35 to 45 per cent year-over-year to somewhere between 56,000 to 60,000 units this year.

今年疫情渐见缓和，尽管现时写字楼租赁市场仍然疲弱，但反而有利租户争取最佳的租赁条件，近期企业考虑搬迁写字楼的意慾明显增加，带动过去数月甲级写字楼租赁交投较去年同期显著增加，租赁市况略见改善，各商业区中以中环最受租户注意。

由于部分于过去数年承租新兴商业区的企业陆续迁出中环或缩减在区内的规模，中环近来多了优质及大小不一的写字楼楼面选择，租户较以往易于争取较优惠的租务条款，遂吸引企业趁现时市况回落在中环承租写字楼。

内地企业 重啟扩充计划

现时积极在中环物色楼面的企业多为跨国企业及已在香港开设办公室的内地企业，除了企业希望在同区搬迁以提升办公室质素外，内地企业亦重啟扩充计划，部分企业则为了重整办公室的运用及设计，始终疫情改变了企业运用办公室的策略及推出灵活工作安排的措施，有企业计划增加员工平均佔用的办公空间，以增加社交距离，其他则希望增加协作、会议及喘息空间，打造理想及健康的办公室。

去年这批租户因疫症及经济前景未明，不愿贸然承租办公室，今年疫症缓和，加上市场预期年底经济可望改善，决定重投租赁市场。值得注意是，现时的租赁市场主要倚赖本地跨国及内地企业的需求，若疫情持续受控及缓和，如果未来内地与港顺利通关后，预期将有从未在香港开设办公室的内地企业来港承租办公室，租赁市场表现可望进一步改善。

内地企业一般也最钟情中环写字楼，有意租用中环办公室的其他企业在通关后将面对不少竞争，若写字楼空置率随租务交投活跃而回落，租金的议价空间难免会收窄。中环租赁交投增加亦有望带动其他商业区的租赁活动，对整体商厦市场有支持作用。

超甲厦将落成 中环成焦点

展望未来，2023年中环将有恒地 (00012) 发展的美利道商业项目及长实 (01113)  的长江集团中心二期两座超甲级写字楼落成，加上，中环新海滨商业地王亦将于今年内批出，定必吸引区内大业主竞投以提升区内物业的价值，其他大型发展商相信亦极感兴趣。中环已有逾10年没有超甲级写字楼落成，相信新海滨地王发展项目落成后，连同区内多幢新商厦，将巩固中环作为商业核心的地位，再次成为市场焦点。

英皇商业中心 处中环心臟地段

英皇商业中心位处中环心臟地段，正对港铁出口及交通要道，非常便利，楼面亦适合中小型企业使用。

英皇商业中心位于中环德辅道中，属于中环传统商业核心段，邻近环球大厦、置地广场，另一边为中环街市，后方为干诺道中，亦可前往国际金融中心一期及二期，故物业绝对是处心臟地段。

正对港铁站 交通便利

交通方面，大厦正对港铁香港站出口，而德辅道中为巴士、电车要道，非常便利。饮食配套上，上班人士既可选择附近大厦地铺，价格较相宜的茶餐厅、米綫店等，亦可前往置地广场、国金2期等，有更多高格调餐厅可选择。

每层2680呎 合中小企

物业楼高17层，即使大厦楼龄较旧，但业主曾为物业进行翻新，目前地下由银行租用，而大厦入口位处侧面。中环商厦普遍楼面不算大，而该厦每层面积约2,680平方呎，多属全层用家，正合中小型公司。物业提供两部升降机，通往各楼层。

间隔上，单位算四正，颇为实用，景观方面，则主要望向德辅道中一带楼景。

大厦租户方面，除了传统行业包括银行、律师楼，亦因位处中环，亦有半零售及服务行业包括医务所、美容中心及健身室等，针对中环高收入及消费客群。

该厦由英皇集团持有，集团于2015年，以13亿元购入中环永杰中心全幢。项目楼高17层，作写字楼用途，地下及1楼由星展银行承租，2至17楼为共14层写字楼，总面积约39,027平方呎，以13亿元成交价计，呎价约3.3万元。

英皇指，购入作物业投资之用。以成交价计，原业主为永杰集团，于2005年以3亿元购入该厦，持货10年转手，大幅获利约10亿元。

九龙甲厦租金稳 下半年续录扩充

疫情有所缓和，渐有个别机构略为扩充写字楼。代理预计，九龙区甲厦租金渐见稳定，下半年可望续有扩充个案，租金或有轻微反弹。

据代理的每月商厦统计，4月份甲厦租金整体向上，惟核心区跌幅收窄，如中环整体甲厦租金跌约1.1%，每呎约111.8元；至于上环区及湾仔区，则录轻微跌幅。过往跌幅较细的港岛东，4月份单月跌约2.3%，属该区近期跌幅较大的月份。九龙区方面，尖沙咀及东九龙跌幅续收窄，跌约0.3%。

代理指中环核心区甲级写字楼的空置率4月份没有进一步攀升，维持7.9%，与3月份相若。不过，非核心商业区的空置写字楼在本月继续上升，湾仔及铜锣湾的空置率则上升至12.4%及7.5%。

时代广场写字楼 3.8万呎获租

铜锣湾时代广场写字楼录得大手租务，涉及2座23及24楼全层，每层面积约1.9万平方呎，合共约3.8万平方呎，以每平方呎约45元租出。据悉，该厦高峰期呎租高见60元，如今回调约25%。新租客为外卖平台foodpanda，该公司目前租用上环商厦，如今预租时代广场两层作扩充，亦可升级至铜锣湾地标商厦。

另外，港岛东太古坊一座3层楼面，合共约6万平方呎，以每平方呎约50元租出。据悉，该3层楼面原由一家广告公司租用，因业务有新部署决定弃租，并于市场放盘求顶租。新租客为免税店DFS集团，原租用尖东华懋广场多层，如今转租新甲厦太古坊一座，可提升物业质素。

九龙及新界区方面，支付服务商BBPOS亦有所扩充。消息指，集团原租用荃湾如心广场低层约1.6万平方呎，如今扩充至全层，面积约2.1万平方呎，呎租料22元。该公司为全球大型支付终端供应商及首批供应行动刷卡机公司。

九龙湾宏天广场呎租22 跌1成

另九龙湾宏天广场中层全层，面积约2.8万平方呎，以每月62万元租出，呎租约22元，较去年跌约1成。据了解，新租客为政府部门，料作运输署办公室之用。

代理指，疫情令很多消费者选择网上购物，因此拥有在綫平台的企业增长速度最快。一些奢侈时装品牌的网购平台正在积极寻找楼面更大和建筑规格更高的写字楼，以合理租金整合后勤部门、陈列室和客户服务中心。

九龙区方面，甲厦租赁气氛不俗，租户查询和预约睇楼数字增加。大部分租赁活动集中东九龙，成交面积主要为3,000至4,000平方呎单位。后市上，该代理行指过去几个月租金大致稳定，且考虑到失业率趋稳，料九龙区甲厦租金在未来数月将维持不变，到今年第三至第四季将出现温和的U形復甦，市场将录得更多的扩充宗数。

工商铺连续3月企600成交

疫苗接种计划及通关有望，市场的不明朗逐渐消退，带动工商铺稳定发展。有代理综合土地註册处资料显示，5月份工商铺註册共录得640宗，按年升1.4倍，并连续3个月稳守600宗以上的水平。

该代理行指，5月份註册金额亦录76.5亿元，按年升近54%。5月份各板块均录按年上升，工厦及商厦註册量分别最新报350及136宗，按年分别升2.1及1.4倍。商铺註册量亦按年升64%，最新录154宗。5月份工商铺整体共录得640宗註册，按年升1.4倍，更是连续3个月企稳600宗以上，为自2017年3月到2018年9月以后首次。5月份整体註册金额亦录76.5亿元，按年升近54%。

首5月2993宗 佔去年近8成

总计今年首5个月，工商铺註册量合共录2,993宗，已经佔去年全年的78%，註册金额累积录得366.1亿元，佔去年全年的75%。

若按金额划分，今年首5个月註册量最多的为500万以下的物业，共录1,423宗，按年升158.7%，并以工厦为主。其次为500万至1,000万元的物业，累计734宗，按年升2.2倍。逾1,000万至2,000万物业录得433宗登记，按年升约2.2倍；逾2,000万至5,000万亦录得317宗，按年升1.4倍。另外，今年首5个月共录得30宗亿元买卖，按年增14宗。

代理表示，疫苗接种计划推行及中港通关有望，市场上的不明朗因素消退，带动工商铺交投量。工商铺註册量已连续3个月录得600宗以上，为近两年半以来首次，反映市场逐渐转趋稳定。

该代理又指，受新盘餘货推售带动，市场气氛不俗，加上邓氏家族近期大量放售物业，将进一步刺激交投并支撑后市，短期内成交量可望平稳发展，预料平均每月的註册量可以保持在600宗以上水平。

旺角百宝利3楼铺 25万租跌逾半

FOREVER 21曾租用多层 健身中心进驻

早年国际品牌租用旗舰店，现分拆楼面出租。旺角百宝利商业中心多层铺，原由FOREVER 21租用，品牌迁出交吉一年多，现其中3楼获健身中心租用，月租料约25万元，租金跌逾半。

旺角百宝利商业中心多层楼面，曾由国际连锁时装品牌FOREVER 21租用，铺位已交吉一段日子。据悉，业主有意把物业地下至3楼分拆出租，以吸引更多租客。消息指，物业3楼全层，面积约6,000平方呎，以每月约25万元租出，呎租约42元。据悉，项目早年亦曾由健身中心租用，及后转由其他零售品牌承接。

全组铺位 业主早前100万招租

该铺早年曾由金利丰朱太持有，2014年黑石基金以7亿元承接，其后基金把物业重新招租，获时装品牌FOREVER 21承租，为期7年，首两年月租约196万元，其后增至264万元，呎租约137元。不过，该时装品牌其后经营出现问题，在港分店逐一结业，而2019年9月品牌迁出旺角分店，业主需重新招租，其后曾获Bauhaus短租作特卖场。

去年爆发疫情，零售市况惨淡，业主降价招租，业内人士指，业主计划把全组铺位，以每月约100万招租，较高峰期平6成，惟零售气氛欠佳，国际品牌仍在收缩，业主改变策略，把铺位多层分拆出租，如今先租出3楼，租金已较高峰跌约一半，而地下入口至2楼，仍在招租中。

早年零售高峰期，国际品牌纷抢核心区多层铺位，组成旗舰店，推高铺租。可是近5年零售市场出现多个变化，国际品牌纷收缩，弃租旗舰店，业主有见市况不復再，寧把铺位重新分拆招租。如同区的家乐坊，早年曾由H&M高价抢租作旗舰店，品牌弃租后，业主分拆招租，如今获Foot Locker及AEON超市承接。另外，位于中环的兴瑋大厦多层，原为Adidas旗舰店，品牌弃租后，地下及1楼获银行预租。

自从「铺王」邓成波于上月突离世后，其家族频频沽售旗下物业，合共涉约14项物业，合共套现逾13亿。

连沽14项物业套13亿

其中涉资最高为以2.28亿售出屯门蓝地一幅仓地，佔地约7.5万方呎，平均呎价3040元，该地具有改划及发展潜力，料可兴建住宅，买家为远东发展。

德永佳潘浩德3566万购山顶三车位全球新高

山顶豪盘MOUNT NICHOLSON车位早前以天价售出，令市场哗然，该批买家身分逐步曝光，成交价更较市场预期为高。德永佳执行董事潘浩德豪掷三千五百六十六万，购入该项目三个车位，每个售价均为一千一百八十八万八千元，创全球车位最贵纪录，造价足以购入中半山豪宅物业。

由九仓及南丰合作发展、会德丰地产负责销售的山顶MOUNT NICHOLSON，早前以招标形式沽出逾三十个车位，售价动輒千万元，令市场哗然，买家身分逐步曝光。据土地註册处资料显示，该项目七十三、七十五及七十六号车位，于上月底每个均以一千一百八十八万八千元售出，合共涉资约三千五百六十六万四千元，买家均以个人名义潘浩德 (POON HO TAK) 购入，为上市公司德永佳执行董事。

每个1188.8万创纪录

资料显示，潘浩德于二○一六年十月以约七亿四千九百万元，购入该豪盘A及B座中层两伙。由于该项目是次标售单位，每个分层户业主可购买一点五个车位，由于潘浩德持有两伙，故可连环买入三个车位。

会德丰地产主席梁志坚日前指出，该批车位以招标形式推出，不排除有业主为求志在必得，以高价竞投，甚至以逾一千一百万高价售出亦不足为奇；地产代理指出，该豪盘一号车位以约一千零二十万售出，料实际成交价将更高，势再创新纪录。

2016年底7.49亿购两伙

据业内人士指出，该豪宅盘于今年四月起，首批推出十五个车位招标，其后，因大部分业主均选择购买，发展商随即再作加推。消息人士再指，项目于二零一七年九月起入伙，近月才推出车位发售，但由于该盘业主均备有座驾，为方便他们泊车，发展商特别以「优惠价」月租六千元，供业主承租，租期由单位入伙起，直至车位最终招标日期完结，假如到认购限期完结后，业主最终放弃购入，其原先承租的车位将无法再租用，并会推出发售，但是次推售，绝大部分的业主均有购买。

「小巴大王」马亚木持有

该地段位处铜锣湾一綫地段，近期亦频录大手成交。资料显示，由邓成波家族持有的怡和街46至54号麦当奴大厦地下A及F地铺及地库全层，于本月初以约2.1亿易手，买家为耀才证券主席叶茂林，以总楼面约7566方呎计，呎价约27756元。

Two South Horizons homes fetch $23m

The lawmaker for the insurance sector, Chan Kin-por, has sold two connected units at South Horizons for HK$23 million, which is HK$3 million lower than the asking price, while some new projects in Southern District were well-received.

Market sources said Chan sold the 1,279-square-foot flat for HK$24.5 million but he clarified the selling price was HK$23 million.

The two three-bedroom units were originally offered for HK$26 million.

Chan bought the two flats in 2011 for HK$6.87 million and HK$7.01 million.

Henderson Land (0012) recorded the first forfeited case for The Upper South at Ap Lei Chau.

The prospective buyer of a 183-sq-ft flat, worth HK$4.34 million, forfeited the deposit of HK$216,800 after canceling the deal.

The Upper South had sold 54 units in the first round of sales as of yesterday.

The tender sale of Jumbo Court Carpark in Wong Chuk Hang, comprising eight stories of car-parks which provide a total of 509 parking spaces, will be opened until July 15.

Meanwhile, the chairman and chief executive of Miramar Group (0071), Martin Lee Ka-shing, said that the hotel's occupancy rate ranged from about 30 percent to 50 percent in the first half, rebounding by more than 10 percent year-on-year.

Lee said at the annual meeting that he believes the occupancy rate will recover to somewhere near the pre-Covid level as long as more people get vaccinated and the economy fully recovers.

Staff can enjoy paid leave of two days for receiving one vaccination, the group said, adding that it may offer HK$1,000 cash if the vaccination rate among staff increases to 70 percent and HK$2,000 for 85 percent.

As rents decline to 2003 levels in major Hong Kong shopping districts, retailers lock in long-term leases at cheaper rents

Rents in Central, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok have returned to 2003 levels

Some retailers even expect to make a profit in the next three to four years, once the border with China reopens, property agent said

Retail rents in some of Hong Kong’s main shopping districts have fallen to levels last seen in 2003 – and this has prompted some to lock in long-term leases for street shops.

Rents in Central, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok, four of Hong Kong’s major shopping areas, have returned to 2003 levels, when the city’s retail sector largely relied on local spending.

“Retailers think they can survive at current rent levels,” property agent said. Some even think they could make a profit in the next three to four years, once the border with mainland China reopens, the agent added.

Over the past 18 months, the sector has recorded its worst downturn on record. And as the likes of Topshop, Gap and JCrew have either exited or scaled down operations in Hong Kong amid political unrest and the Covid-19 pandemic, others are taking advantage of lower rents to expand or even move into better locations.

These retailers were also optimistic about a potential rise in consumption, agent said. They were betting on spending sentiment being boosted by the rewards worth more than HK$80 million (US$10.3 million) being offered by the city’s business community to drum up interest in vaccinations, as well as the government’s electronic consumption voucher scheme being rolled out as early as August.

Retailers dealing in daily necessities and lifestyle products were committing to street shops because rents were so low, another agent said. “They are expected to have a better sales performance than the luxury sector, whose sales rely highly on tourists,” he said.

Elsewhere, US fashion brand Brandy Melville was taking over a shop vacated by luxury watchmaker Rolex on Russell Street in Causeway Bay. The brand operates a store in IFC Mall in Central, but this will be its first street shop in Hong Kong. It is paying HK$600,000 (US$77,335) a month for the space, 70 per cent less than the HK$2 million that Rolex paid, according to industry experts.

Last month, luxury goods retailer Dickson Concepts (International), which operates the Harvey Nichols department store in Hong Kong, agreed to pay HK$205.3 million for a two-storey shop in Bank Centre Mall, next to Mong Kok MTR Station, for a period of six years, according to its filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange. The lease, which starts from August this year, translates to about HK$3 million per month.

“[The Dickson Concepts deal] is the largest retail leasing transaction so far this year, in our records, in terms of monthly rent,” agent said. “Retail rents will be bottoming out in the second half of this year, with drops in rents narrowing,” the agent added.

Earlier, Aeon Stores (Hong Kong), which operates retail chains under the Aeon brand, including Aeon Supermarket, committed to taking up 25,000 sq ft on the ground and first floors of Gala Place in Mong Kok. The lease, for six years, cost it HK$85.5 million, according to the company’s filing with the Hong Kong exchange.

Both Dickson Concepts and Aeon Stores declined to disclose further details about their deals.

The volume of leasing transactions will increase, but rents are still going to decline, when compared with last year, another agent said. “I believe we will see more transactions in the near term, driven mainly by food and beverage operators, edutainment as well as retailtainment, which is something less common in the past,” the agent said.

疫情稍放缓，甲厦市场气氛改善，资深投资者趁机出货。「磁带大王」陈秉志持有的中环中心 39楼单位以约6634万售出，呎价约31560元，属市价水平。陈秉志于今年以来，暂沽售9项物业，合共套现近5亿。

市场消息指出，由「磁带大王」陈秉志持有中环中心 39楼再录成交，为该层07室单位，面积2102方呎，作价约6634万成交，平均呎价约31560元。

「磁带大王」陈秉志沽货

本报昨日就上述消息向陈秉志作出查询，他回应指，上述单位已售出，惟成交细节需再确实。陈秉志于今年4月以7590万售出该甲厦同层02室，面积2175方呎，呎价约3.49万。

事实上，陈秉志近期频频沽货，今年以来，暂沽售9个物业，包括住宅、商铺、甲厦及工厦，套现约4.96亿。资料显示，陈秉志早前连环沽出两伙湾仔摩利臣山道铺，其中，该街道10号铺位，交吉形式易手，作价2500万，以面积800方呎计，呎价3.125万。至于毗邻的8号地铺，面积约600方呎，呎价4.47万。

陈秉志回赠千万促销中环中心 变相再降价13% 火速卖一伙

资深投资者「磁带大王」陈秉志等自两年前起拆售中环皇后大道中99号中环中心 39楼全层，去年曾降价促销，但仍有约四成单位待售，为加快销售速度，最新向每个单位买家划一回赠1000万元「装修费」，变相平均再减价13.2%，令餘货「折实」呎价全部低于3万元。当中售价最低单位「折实」5116.85万元，呎价25648元，较两年前首度推售时低37.3%。该批单位变相减价后，即火速沽出一个单位，回赠后「折实」售价5633.98万元，呎价26803元。

中环中心 39楼全层由陈秉志于2019年4月底分间成12个单位出售，首阶段只成功沽出两伙，遂于去年10月把餘下10个货尾单位，一律较2019年首推时定价减25%或以上发售，但至今只多卖5伙，仍餘下5个单位待售。

据市场消息指出，为刺激销情，买家在本月内购入任何一个单位，业主会在完成交易后提供每伙「装修回赠」1000万元，即业主向买家共补贴5000万元。由于是次以现金方式回赠，故不会在土地註册处的成交价钱上反映。

折实5116.85万起

根据价单显示，目前在售的单位建筑面积由1995至2769方呎，售价为6116.85万至8924.1万元，呎价30661至32737元。若扣除「装修回赠」后，「折实」售价将减到5116.85万至7924.1万元，呎价25648至29069元，即「装修回赠」佔楼价11.2%至16.3%，平均降价13.2%。

以售价最低的13室为例，建筑面积1995方呎，「折实」售价5116.85万元，较2019年首度推出时定价8155.8万元，低3038.95万元或37.3%。而此单位「折实」呎价只有25648元，一旦成交，将创财团入主后该厦拆售呎价新低。市场称，在推出折扣优惠后，其中7室即成功售出，建筑面积2102方呎，售价6633.98万元，回赠后「折实」5633.98万元，呎价26803元。

5餘货市值3.3亿

该层之前沽出的7个单位，建筑面积由1841至3140方呎，成交价介乎6229.34万至约1.39亿元，呎价由28500至48435元，共套现约6.15亿元。而餘下5个单位，在「折实」后市值合共约3.3亿元。

长实 (01113) 在2017年底以天价402亿元售出中环中心 75%权益予全国政协委员卢文端牵头的财团，造价打破本港写字楼物业历来最高单价纪录。交易包括47层写字楼、商业楼面及402个车位，涉及总楼面约122.27万方呎，平均呎价约32877元，因此39楼餘下的5个单位「折实」呎价，已低过财团的入市平均价。

而中环中心个别单位拆售后，租金竞争力都比全层单一业主拥有的单位低，已拆售的22楼今年1月有单位以每方呎39元租出，创该厦近11年呎租新低。同层的1室，建筑面积2781方呎，原以每方呎45元放租，近期亦减至39.5元，冀尽快租出。

英皇筲箕湾旧楼批强拍仲齐大厦收逾90%业权项目底价1.95亿

市区地皮供应有限，财团积极收购旧楼，由英皇收购的筲箕湾仲齐大厦，目前获批强拍令，现已收逾90%业权，底价为1.95亿，较19年市场估值约1.76亿，高出约10.8%。

据土地审裁处资料，英皇收购的仲齐大厦，目前获批强拍令，现已收集逾90%业权，仅餘3个物业未获收购，分别为A号地铺、1楼C室，以及天台。据判词指出，由于维修情况欠佳，而且维修成本亦不符合效益，重建为合理做法。

较19年估价高10.8%

项目底价为1.95亿，较19年申请强拍时，市场估值1.76亿，高出约10.8%。该项目为商住物业，地盘面积约3000方呎，可建楼面约2.85万方呎，此外，该旧楼楼高8层，地下为铺位，楼上则为住宅，并于64年落成，楼龄约57年，同时亦邻近筲箕湾港铁站，具有重建价值。

可建约2.85万呎

随着市区土地供应减少，发展商亦积极透过旧楼收购增加土地储备，英皇近年频以强拍重建增加土地储备。

除上述仲齐大厦外，同样由英皇收购的西营盘高陞大楼，早前亦批出强拍令，现已收集91.89%业权，并仅餘3伙未获收购，分别为1楼A室、C室及3楼B室，涉及3组小业主。据判词指出，该项目楼龄已高，不少单位状况甚差，现时强拍申请人已持有逾80%业权，故重建属合理做法。

尚餘三伙未收购

项目底价为2.59亿，较19年申请强拍时，市场估值2.4亿高出约8%。该项目为商住物业，地盘面积2144方呎，可建楼面约1.9万方呎，楼龄约55年，邻近西营盘港铁站，具有一定重建价值。

连沽17物业套逾15亿

有代理表示，跑马地景光街13号地下，建筑面积约1000方呎，意向价约4800万，平均呎价约4.8万。

该代理指出，物业以连约形式出售，现租客经营越南餐厅，驻扎上址超过10年，最新月租约8万，租期至2022年底，适合购入作中长綫收租投资。

该代理续说，该铺位坐落跑马地中心地段，前方即为巴士站，周边有多家银行包围，而银行普遍被视为「铁约」铺，租务较稳定。

Kowloon penthouse sells for $260m

Sino Land (0083) and CLP (0002) sold a 3,695-square-foot penthouse at St George's Mansions in Ho Man Tin for HK$260 million, a year-to-date new high among flats in Kowloon.

The penthouse on the 23rd floor of Tower 2 changed hands for HK$260 million, or HK$70,365 per sq ft, including three car-parking spaces.

The penthouse has a balcony measuring 256 sq ft, and a roof measuring 3,301 sq ft. The developers have raked in about HK$1.2 billion after selling eight flats at the project.

In the primary market, New World Development (0017) will offer 338 flats for sale on Saturday in the third price list for the third phase of The Pavilia Farm above Tai Wai Station.

The 338 flats, which measure between 307 sq ft and 1,022 sq ft, are offered at an average price of HK$22,600 per square foot after discounts, 13 percent higher than the first price list. The cheapest flat, measuring 307 sq ft, is offered at HK$6.89 million, or HK$22,440 per sq ft, after a maximum 20 percent discount is applied.

The developer has collected about HK$4.37 billion after selling all the 331 flats in the first two price lists at the third phase on Saturday. NWD had received about 27,000 registrations of intent from potential buyers for the 331 flats, making them 80 times oversubscribed, and the highest number of registrations since 1997.

Meanwhile, Vanke Property (Hong Kong) expects to release about 50 flats in the first price list of VAU Residence in Ho Man Tin tomorrow and launch sales in mid-June.

陈秉志于今年4月以7590万售出该甲厦同层02室，面积2175方呎，呎价约3.49万。

事实上，陈秉志近期频频沽货，今年以来，暂沽售13个物业，包括住宅、商铺、甲厦及工厦，套现约8.09亿。资料显示，陈秉志早前连环沽出两伙湾仔摩利臣山道铺，其中，该街道10号铺位，交吉形式易手，作价2500万，以面积800方呎计，呎价3.125万。至于毗邻的8号地铺，面积约600方呎，呎价4.47万。

亿京财团斥105亿购九龙湾国际展贸中心 有意重建甲级商厦或大型住宅用途

近期楼市气氛畅旺，市场刚录得一宗瞩目大手成交，本报获悉，由亿京等合组财团向合和购入九龙湾国际展贸中心，作价约一百零五亿，平均呎价五千九百多元，成为今年以来最大宗物业买卖，新买家有意重建甲厦或大型住宅。

据知情人士透露，亿京为首财团刚落实向合和实业购入九龙湾国际展贸中心，涉资约一百零五亿，以现时总楼面一百七十七万五千方呎计算，平均呎价逾五千九百多元，据了解，亿京等就收购该项物业已安排银团贷款，将由三家银行组成，而且，新买家合组的财团极具创意，就重建物业作了两个计画，除了重建甲级商厦之外，亦有意作重建住宅用途。

平均呎价5932元

据知情人士指，新买家钟情项目佔地十分庞大，接近啟德区，坐拥全海景，是市区罕有大型项目，极具可塑性，除了补价重建甲厦外，亦不排除日后向城规会申请将地皮改划作住宅用途，并作出补地价，相信重建住宅后将可媲美啟德的大型住宅群，发展潜力高。虽然该项目并不接近港铁站，惟无碍作住宅的发展潜力。

据悉，今番由亿京为首财团投得，财团组合以信和及资本策略呼声高。事实上，过往亿京亦曾与信和及资本策略则有合作的经验，该组合于六年前以约三十亿元投得同区伟业街三十八号地皮，发展甲厦 (现址富临中心)，故很有机会再次合作。本报于上月中率先披露，由亿京牵头财团以逾百亿将向合和实业购入九龙湾国际展贸中心。

新买家考虑重建住宅方案

有测量师指出，该厦现址佔地二十三万九千八百方呎，楼高十四层 (另有四层地库)，规划为其他指定用途「工业展览馆及商业发展」，重建商厦地积比最高十二倍，可重建总楼面二百八十七万七千六百方呎，较目前多出逾一百一十万呎，惟重建必须要补地价。

该测量师续说，该厦现址写字楼呎租约二十元水平，展览场地虽受捧，经常有艺人在此开演唱会及表演，惟租金收入一般，重建是其中的一个好方案，东九龙甲厦供应甚多，若果能成功改划住宅，将会是潜力最高。

财团料包括信和及资策

九龙湾国际展贸中心地皮，由合和及长实于一九八七年联手投得，各佔五成权益，随后由合和买下长实的权益，成为独资发展商，并于一九九五年落成。由于项目地皮本来属工业与展览用途，落成初期只作陈列室、展览场地及会议室，及于二○○五年初，合和向政府补地价二亿一百八十二万，将部分楼面转作零售与写字楼用途。

伯恩光学创办人杨建文等继早前购入观塘福昌大厦全层工厦后，再以2820万购入同区商厦寧晋中心，于月内共斥资逾9000万连购两项工商物业。

据土地註册处资料显示，观塘寧晋中心高层A室，于上月中以2820万成交，买家以公司名义富泰实业发展有限公司 (FU TAI INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED) 登记，註册董事为伯恩光学创办人杨建文及其妻子林惠英，以面积2657方呎计，呎价约10613元。

平均呎价10613元

原业主于2010年以1394.9万购入，以公司名义理善有限公司 (WORILL LIMITED持有)，註册董事分别为钟、江及梁姓人士，持货11年帐面获利1425.1万，期间升值约1.02倍。

据代理指出，上述单位位处高层，景观开扬，属优质单位，成交价属市价水平，更指出杨建文于区内拥有多项工商物业，亦手持多个寧晋中心单位。资料显示，杨建文及其妻分别于今年以来先后以约2252万及3077万购入该商厦两伙高层单位，呎价约1.12万。另外，杨氏伉儷早前亦以6200万向邓成波家族购入同区福昌大厦低层全层工厦，以面积10640方呎计，呎价约5827元。

连环购观塘工厦

杨建文频频购入观塘工厦，他近年不断购入区内开源道77号业发工业大厦单位，目前收购完成，并向城规会申请放宽两成地积比率及高限，以重建成1幢楼高39层新式工厦，涉及楼面约28.8万方呎。此外，年前，他亦就区内巧明街119至121号年运工业大厦申请强拍，市场估值约7亿。

土地註册处资料显示，油麻地现时点2楼双号铺，于上月初以282万售出，原业主于2015年以298万购入，持货6年帐面蚀让16万，期间贬值约5%，以面积147方呎计，呎价约19184元。

深水埗基隆街381至383号地铺，面积约900方呎，以3350万售出，呎价约3.7万，该铺由食肆以6.8万租用，料回报约2.44厘，原业主1984年12月以37万买入，持货37年帐面获利约3313万，期间升值近90倍。

卓汇中心全层放售 意向呎价1.29万

长沙湾、荔枝角区属本港第三核心商业区，近年吸引不少大型集团、企业于区内设总部，而且大部份自用为主，盘源紧张，同时不乏发展商于区内大兴土木，开拓商贸市场，令区内知名度大为提升，优质单位更属一盘难求。而现正放售的长沙湾卓汇中心高层全层单位，以楼龄新、交通便为卖点，加上属市场罕有全层放盘，意向叫价约7,727.1万元。

楼层高 开扬景 三面单边

代理指，有业主放售长沙湾青山道483A号卓汇中心 33楼全层，单位面积约5,990平方呎，意向呎价约1.29万元，叫价约7,727.1万元，单位将以交吉形式出售，买家可作自用或投资之用。上址质素上乘，属三面单边，楼底高逾4.1米，更特显内笼间隔通透的优点，单位同时可远眺维港海景及开扬山景，视野开扬，另外单位可负重约5kPa，以应不同行业需要。

同步放租 每呎叫28元

从地理位置而言，卓汇中心距离港铁荔枝角站出口步程仅约两分鐘，而大厦于2010年落成，外墙为玻璃幕墙式设计，同时由实力品牌新鸿基发展，管理完善，另设有多层停车场，备有私家车及货车位，全面配合不同用家所需，另外，上址亦同时放租，意向呎租28元。

据EPRC经济地产库资料显示，卓汇中心近年鲜有买卖成交，足见业主以自用为主，即使租务成交亦不频繁，可见其在市场的受欢迎程度，而参考市场新近租务成交，如低层单位，面积约5,961平方呎，月租约16.7万元，平均呎租约28元。而受区内新型商厦成交带动下，今年以来同区商厦成交达70宗，惟大部份属于荔枝角道888号，而区内目前商厦成交呎价介乎5,600餘元至1.5万元不等，毕竟区内新、旧商厦交替，呎价差异较为明显。

代理称，长沙湾、荔枝角由工业区转型，现时商贸气氛成熟，加上位处九龙西，前往港、九、新界各区方便快捷，为不少用家及投资者关注的地区，至于放售的物业，本身配套设施齐备，而放售单位更属高层全层，坐拥山、海开扬景致，属市场上优质盘源，料可吸引用家及投资者承接。

桂洪集团9800万 沽湾仔旧楼全幢

有「钉王」之称的桂洪集团最近以9,800万元沽出湾仔圣佛兰士街12号旧楼全幢，46年前购入价19万元，持货至今升值近515倍。

圣佛兰士街属于湾仔、近金鐘的一段短街，以数层高的唐楼为主，由于邻近太古打造的太古广场3期及星街住宅区，吸引不少咖啡店、酒吧、餐厅等聚集，演变成文艺小区。

现址为3层高旧楼的圣佛兰士街12号，据土地註册处资料显示，在上月中以9,800万元易手，原业主为KWAI HUNG REALTY COMPANY LIMITED，即是由已故「钉王」陈桂洪创立的桂洪集团。

持货46年 帐面大赚9781万

桂洪集团在1975年以仅19万元购入该旧楼，持货46年，帐面大赚9,781万元，升值近515倍，相当惊人。该旧楼佔地仅900平方呎，属「住宅 (甲类)」规划用途，以地积比率8倍计算，可建楼面约7,200平方呎，每呎楼面地价约1.36万元。

桂洪集团由陈桂洪创立，据指因为在中环持有唐楼单位获发展商高价收购赚得第一桶金，便开始在旧楼「落钉」。据称曾在北角水星街以几百万元落钉，最终大赚逾亿元，故此被外界称为「钉王」。其后创办桂洪集团成为中小型发展商，近期则计划推出红磡新盘曼翘 (MANGROVE)。

至于新买家则为EVER GENIUS LIMITED，註册董事包括郑栢洋等，不排除今次是财团购入作重建之用。

会德丰地产主席梁志坚日前指出，该批车位以招标形式推出，不排除有业主为求志在必得，以高价竞投，甚至以逾1100万高价售出亦不足为奇。

Presales approved for Kai Tak's One Victoria

China Overseas Land and Investment (0688) has received presale consent for One Victoria in Kai Tak and expects it to be the first residential project to go on sale on the former Kai Tak airport runway.

The developer expects to release the sales brochure for the 1,059-flat project next week.

The project sits in Kai Tak Area 4B Site 2, which has a site area of 97,392 sq ft and a maximum gross floor area of 594,082 sq ft. China Overseas won the tender for the residential plot for HK$8.03 billion, or HK$13,523 per buildable sq ft in December 2018.

Two years later in December 2020, the state-run mainland developer also won the tender for another residential plot, Kai Tak Area 4E Site 1, for HK$4.27 billion.

Meanwhile, stamp duty collected from property transactions surged by 62.1 percent month-on-month to about HK$1.41 billion last month, hitting a half-year high, data from the Inland Revenue Department showed.

The number of property transactions subject to stamp duty increased by 82.03 percent from a month before to 628, reaching a five-month high.

Buyers' stamp duty collected rose by 28.22 percent month-on-month to HK$239 million, and the number of cases involved rose 83.87 percent to 114 last month.

The amount of double stamp duty applied to residential property transactions went up by 74.91 percent month-on-month to HK$1.14 billion.

In the luxury property market, former singer Cally Kwong Mei-wan sold a 693-sq-ft flat at Dragons Range in Sha Tin for HK$9.78 million, or HK$14,113 per sq ft. Kwong, who bought the flat for HK$8.7 million in 2014, will gain HK$1.08 million.

Pamela Chung, managing director commercial of Hong Kong at Tricor, bought a 771-sq-ft flat at South Horizons in Ap Lei Chau for HK$14.46 million, or HK$18,755 per sq ft.

Goldman joins ranks of property agencies and Morgan Stanley in forecasting rise in Hong Kong home prices this year

City’s residential property prices have already risen 4 per cent year-to-date and Goldman says it expects a 5 per cent rise for this year

Opening of border between Hong Kong and mainland China to benefit sales of luxury flats, Central office take-up and retail premises’ rents

US investment bank Goldman Sachs has joined a chorus of property market observers forecasting an increase in Hong Kong home prices this year.

“Given high property prices, very low interest rates but an improving economy, we expect gradual property price increases in line with household income growth for the residential market,” the bank said in a report led by analyst Gurpreet Singh Sahi. “We believe [an] easing of Covid-19-related border restrictions between Hong Kong and mainland China would benefit the sale of luxury residential flats, Central office take-up and retail premises’ rent.”

Optimism is growing for home prices to climb and break records as concerns about recession, rising unemployment and the coronavirus pandemic have largely subsided recently. Some industry reports, such as retail sales and brisk sales at new launches, are pointing to early signs of recovery in the city’s economy.

The city’s residential property prices have already risen 4 per cent year-to-date, and Goldman said in its June 4 report that it expected a 5 per cent rise for this year. Prices could rise by another 5 per cent in 2022, as the border opens up, before easing to a 3 per cent gain in 2023.

As far as retail and industrial property was concerned, the bank expected a recovery of 5 per cent this year after a “painful” 2019 and 2020. “We believe prices have corrected meaningfully and that retail sales are rising in Hong Kong and mainland China. Year-to-date prices have recovered post their steep correction over the last two years,” Goldman said.

Office prices would, however, decline 5 per cent this year, be flat next year and record a modest recovery of 2 per cent in 2023. “We believe this market could continue to be pressured by the work-from-home dynamic, but the negative force [will] be somewhat offset by the Hong Kong-mainland China border opening,” Goldman said.

Hong Kong property developers were seeing their best relative performance since 2012, driven by a notable pick-up in residential market transactions, prices and low-interest rates, the US bank said.

One of the major Hong Kong property agency, was the most bullish and expected a 15 per cent surge in home prices in 2021. Home prices were likely to see a breakthrough in the third quarter and this will be followed by an obvious rising trend, its founder said on Tuesday. Prices were only 2 per cent to 3 per cent below the record in 2019, he added.

The agency’s market index, which tracks home prices in 100 housing estates, stood at 185.16 as of last month, just 2.8 per cent lower than the peak of 190.48 in June 2019. Agent said their forecast had not even taken into account the reopening of the border.

“With short supply and an improved economy, people have regained their confidence in [the] property market, particularly luxury homes,” the agent added.

For instance, a 3,695 sq ft flat at Sino Group’s St George’s Mansions, a luxury property in Ho Man Tin, sold for HK$260 million (US$33.51 million) on Tuesday. The price was the highest for flats in Kowloon this year, according to the developer.

US bank Morgan Stanley and real estate agencies have also forecast home price rises of 3 per cent to 5 per cent. Morgan Stanley estimated in a report in April that Hong Kong home prices will rise 3 per cent in 2021 and 5 per cent next year, driven by a combination of low supply, decent demand, low interest rates and limited scope for tighter regulation.

An property agency said on Tuesday that home prices were expected to rise by 5 per cent in the second half of this year and return to their June 2019 peak in the third quarter.

The agency said that the economic recovery in Hong Kong had driven a residential transaction upsurge by 20 per cent quarter on quarter, which had reached a nine-year high and a peak since 2012. New home supply over the next two years remained low at an average of about 19,100 units per year, it added.

疫市下录瞩目大手成交，九龙湾国际展贸中心由亿京牵头财团体以一百零五亿元鲸吞，该集团主席余卓儿早于十九个月前，当政治事件所引发的动乱演得最激烈时「觅盘」，并锁定该项目，日前终于落实交易，计画重建地标甲厦，总投资额约二百亿。

本报昨日独家披露，九龙湾国际展贸中心全幢以一百零五亿易手，亿京集团主席余卓儿昨日向本报证实，日前就该项目签署正式买卖合约，作价一百零五亿元，以买公司形式承接物业，集团牵头佔有七成权益。

亿京佔七成 伙伴包括资策

他续说，项目佔地逾二十三万方呎，可塑性高，以现址总楼面逾一百七十七万方呎计算，呎价仅五千九百多元，令他感到满意！儘管项目可透过补地价，将地积比由目前的七倍提高至十二倍，重建总楼面可达二百九十万方呎，惟他们打算维持原有地积比，重建后总楼面将与现址一样！他解释说，有两个原因，建筑物密度较低，环境舒适，而且不用补地价，省时兼具效率。

他表示，东九龙甲厦供应多，目前商厦市况一般，他与合作伙伴有共识作「两手準备」，假若后市欠佳、卖楼拆售套现不容易，将作为长綫收租。根据初步计画，整个发展项目总投资额约二百亿，重建为综合式商场及写字楼，打造成为区内地标甲厦，其中一幢写字楼将规限作全幢形式出售，商场则由发展商保留长綫收租。余卓儿又说，他亦曾研究重建住宅，发现并非理想的选择，改规划及补地价需时，而且附近有多条天桥带来噪音，环境不合适。

发展共识作「两手準备」

余氏续指，港岛核心区难觅商厦地皮，即使九龙尖沙嘴亦缺乏新供应，惟有向观塘及九龙湾埋手。「惟观塘区併楼难度非常高，即使要找一幅面积三万方呎的地皮，也不容易！在发展商眼中，地皮够大才有气势，至少五万呎，才能剪裁打造地标项目！」

事实上，余卓儿早于二○一九年十月，当政治事件所引发的动乱演得最激烈时，吼中该幅佔地逾二十三万方呎的九龙湾国际展贸中心全幢，频向合和实业洽购，最初出价不足一百亿，直至日前落实以一百零五亿成交，足足历时十九个月，他笑言：「此时冇人吼，皆因项目规模庞大，而且，大家都将注意力投放在住宅市场。」际此期间，他研究项目发展潜力，并寻找伙伴参与，最终由亿京牵头，拍档包括有资本策略，至于早前市场一度盛传有份参与的信和，最终并没有参与。

最初出价不足一百亿

余卓儿证实亿京佔七成权益，惟他表示不方便透露拍档详情及所持份额。本报昨日亦联络资本策略，主席钟楚义回应：「集团佔很少份数，详情日后透露。」

九龙湾国际展贸中心地皮由合和及长实于一九八七年联手投得，各佔五成权益，随后合和买下长实权益，成为独资发展商，并于一九九五年落成。由于项目地皮本来属工业与展览用途，落成初期只作陈列室、展览场地及会议室，及于二零零五年初，合和向政府补地价二亿一百八十二万，将部分楼面转作零售与写字楼用途。

市建红磡庇利街项目招意向 建灝6.18亿夺橡树街重建地盘

市区重建局 (下称市建局) 近年啟动多个重建项目，陆续进入可推出招标的收成期。其中于上月接获14份标书的大角咀橡树街/埃华街重建项目 (下称橡树街项目)，由首度夺得市建局项目的建灝地产以约6.18亿元中标，作价符合市场预期。市建局随即推出红磡庇利街/荣光街大型重建项目（下称庇利街项目）周五（11日）起招收意向书，可建楼面面积达71.75万方呎，属近7年最大规模的市建局项目，市场估值动輒高达107.6亿元，6月25日截收意向。

罗建一：橡树街拟建中小商住盘

上月收到14份标书的橡树街项目，佔地约6663方呎，可建楼面面积约6万方呎，获长实 (01113)、其士国际 (00025)、远东发展 (00035) 和信置 (00083) 等入标，最终由建灝地产旗下达创集团有限公司以约6.18亿元投得，属市场估值约5.4亿至9亿元的范围之内，每方呎楼面地价 (下称楼面呎价) 约10308元。

建灝地产首席行政总裁罗建一对中标感到高兴，指出该集团首次投得市建局项目，认为橡树街项目交通便利和配套完善，初步计划兴建中小型优质商住盘。他形容中标价合理，展示该集团对香港商住项目的发展潜力充满信心，并强调本港住屋刚性需求非常庞大，特别是对中小型住宅项目更是殷切。

资料显示，建灝地产对上一次于官方市场购入土地，是2019年8月以约2.44亿元投得卖地表屯门景秀里与景峰径交界住宅地，并已于今年4月提出预售楼花申请，提供112伙，预计2023年7月入伙。

庇利街可建72万呎 估值107亿

市建局近年啟动红磡和土瓜湾一带多个重建项目，并以小区形式作总体规划。是次登场的庇利街项目早于2016年3月啟动重建，属于首个成熟可推出市场的地盘。该项目佔地约7.97万方呎，毗邻私人住宅项目环海．东岸，与即将啟用的港铁 (00066) 屯马线土瓜湾站仅相距约5分鐘步程，可建楼面面积约71.75万方呎。市建局2016年已预计该地盘的发展期长约10年时间，预计兴建约1150伙，并设有约11.95万方呎的商业及零售楼面面积。

近年市建局推出招标的重建项目，以楼面面积不足20万方呎的中小型地盘为主，是次庇利街的可建楼面面积达71.75万方呎，已是2014年观塘市中心第二及第三发展区 (现已发展为凯滙) 提供逾100万方呎楼面面积以来，近7年登场的市建局重建项目中规模最大的一个。

市建局指出，中标庇利街项目的发展商，须按发展协议中列明有关九龙城土瓜湾小区发展项目总体设计上的要求，与毗邻的重建项目产生协同效应，以达致整个小区的重整及规划更完整和一体化，促进该小区的连接性和步行环境，并以更丰富的「地方营造」及智慧元素，提升该区的宜居性。发展商也要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。

港铁屯马线二期将于本月27日通车，届时土瓜湾站正式啟用。泓亮諮询及评估董事总经理张翘楚指出，市建局趁此时机推出庇利街项目，正好受通车消息带动，加上项目规模庞大，势吸引大型发展商争夺，估计日后建成出售呎价2.2万至2.5万元也不成问题。市场人士估计，该地皮的楼面呎价约1.3万至1.5万元，估值93.3亿至107.6亿元。

建灝地产首席行政总裁罗建一表示，集团很高兴是次能投得该合作发展项目，价钱属合理水平，展示集团对香港商住项目发展潜力充满信心。他再称，初步计划将项目发展为中小型优质商住宅，建构一个可提升社区生活环境的可持续发展项目。

若以每平方呎建筑成本约5,000元计算，连地价及10%发水楼面，预计项目的总投资额约9.48亿元。而若加上利润及8成实用率推算后，估计日后项目推售实用呎价约21,558元。不过，参考目前区内新盘利‧晴湾23 (平均实用呎价2万)、半新盘奥朗‧御峰 (平均呎价约1.77万)，略高于现时同区一、二手呎价水平。

土瓜湾庇利街项目 邀意向

消息透露，发展商需以一笔过前期费用决胜负，以价高者可投得地皮。市建局亦规定，卖楼收益达到12.5亿元后，便须与当局分红，首3,000万元分红比例为20%，及后每增加3,000万元，分红比例将递增10%，最高为50%。综合市场资讯，地皮估值约6.6亿至9亿元，每呎楼面地价介乎1.1万至1.5万元。

另外，市建局昨日亦就土瓜湾庇利街/荣光街项目，邀请发展商提交意向书，截止日期为本月25日 (周五)。成功投得本项目的发展商需要按发展协议中列明有关九龙城土瓜湾小区发展项目的总体设计要求，以促进小区的连接及步行环境。项目地盘面积约79,718平方呎，可建楼面约71.7万平方呎，大约可提供1,300伙。

IWG集团：灵活办公室 疫后需求更大

疫情下机构控制成本，对写字楼租务需求有转变。经营共享办公室的IWG集团表示，疫后机构对灵活办公室需求更大，故该集团有扩充空间。

环球疫情持续1年多，很多大型机构因应市况，缩减办公室楼面以节省成本，而早年扩充甚积极的共享空间品牌，更连环弃租写字楼。不过，IWG集团却甚为积极，过去半年连环接手多个WeWork弃租的办公室，包括铜锣湾希慎广场3万平方呎，涉及两层，连同九龙东海滨汇1座及2座5楼全层共5万平方呎，以及尖沙咀港威大厦，集团短时间内接手3幢甲厦楼面，作为旗下品牌Signature之用。

香港共17据点 风格多元化

IWG香港区经理Paul MacAndrew指出，集团自1999年在港发展，旗下拥多个不同品牌包括REGUS、SPACES及Signature，合共17个据点，各品牌走不同风格，「REGUS属商务中心，较为传统企业类型，SPACES则时尚一点，Signature则为两者之间，可让租客选择。」

集团租用希慎广场楼面，会员入场费每月约2,380元起，可享办公桌 (Hot Desk)，另外亦有独立房间计划等，而所有会员均可享辨公室内的设施包括茶水间、会议室等。据悉，目前出租率已逾9成，「之前有租客迁出，好快便有新租客进驻。」

2016至2018年是共享空间行业在港的扩充期，多个品牌租楼面设据点，及后个别品牌传出经营困难消息，寻找顶手甚至弃租。Paul认为，现时行业进入整期，共享办公室吸引力仍然强劲，「最大优点就是灵活，包括面积、租约期长短，而新租客可节省一大笔装修费，兼有不同行业人士在共享空间内互相交流。」

企业提供多个方案 让员工选择

疫情令不少大型机构对成本更加谨慎，个别更需要减楼面，以节省开支。Paul指出，疫情出现新常态，更有利共享空间行业发展，「无论是初创公司或跨国企业，都积极寻求不同的营运方法及改革工作空间。实际上这个趋势已持续数年，疫情只是扮演当中催化剂的角色。」他分析，机构採灵活工作安排，令行业更有扩充空间，「疫情下企业採新策略，提出灵活工作地点的措施，员工减少了在总部工作的时间。疫情后相信在家工作仍会继续，共享空间好处，就是可给予机构多一个选择，让员工灵活在不同地点上班。」

共享空间兴起，欧美、亚洲等均有新成立品牌，面对市场竞争，Paul认为IWG仍拥很大优势，「一是经验，我们拥有32年历史，最重要是规模大，在全球多个国家合共3,000多个据点，规模大予人信心。」香港方面，他指仍有一定扩充空间，「下年仍会继续扩充，的确租金比之前便宜，而我们的模式是与商厦业主互相合作。香港是集团的重点市场之一，亚洲区上，中国、新加坡均是重点。」

黄竹坑甲厦呎价破顶 呎租升2%

近期港铁黄竹坑站上盖住宅项目晋环推售，市场反应理想，气氛亦蔓延至同区写字楼市场。有代理发表的报告指出，近期黄竹坑甲厦连录多宗破顶成交个案，带动区内最新平均呎价升至1.95万元的新高，呎租按月亦升近2%。

代理指出，自活化工厦1.0政策推出，以及港铁南港岛綫通车后，黄竹坑逐渐转发展成为新商圈，适逢近期该区有港铁上盖住宅项目推售，令该区重新成为焦点，而相对之下，写字楼价格较为低水，因而吸引部分资金流入，例如区内指标甲厦One Island South，近期亦连录2宗高价买卖。

代理指，近年黄竹坑逐渐转型成新商业区，但受制于配套不足，尤其缺少零售楼面，限制该区过往租售价升幅，但随着黄竹坑站项目陆续完工，包括预计2023年落成、楼面约50万平方呎的黄竹坑站商场，以及港铁南港岛綫 (西段) 可望动工，将吸引更多人愿意到黄竹坑落户，为该区带来根本性转变。

One Island South呎售2.46万

该报告指出，近月黄竹坑连录多宗破顶成交，最为瞩目的要数One Island South一个中层面向城市景的单位，以每呎约2.46万元沽出，创下黄竹坑商厦新高纪录。租务方面，4月份该大厦一个低层城市景单位，也以每呎约38元租出，同样创该厦新高。此外，同区的乙级商厦W50，呎租也重上30元水平。

受到多项高价成交刺激，5月份黄竹坑写字楼租售价显著上升，当中甲厦平均呎价按月急升15%，至每呎19,491元的新高纪录，至于平均呎租按月也升1.7%，至26.2元的水平，但与2019年历史高位的30.4元仍有一段距离。

整体写字楼的租售价表现亦向好，5月份甲厦价格按月升2.1%，租金亦升2.1%，上月除了黄竹坑之外，表现较佳的区域为中环，按月升约6.1%，最新平均呎价升至3.9万元，主要受到指标甲厦皇后大道中九号一宗成交带动。至于整体乙厦售价，按月亦升0.4%。

Billion closes $10.5b KITEC deal

A consortium led by Billion Development and Project Management plans to acquire Kowloon Bay International Trade & Exhibition Centre for about HK$10.5 billion from Hopewell, The Standard's sister newspaper Sing Tao Daily reported.

This is expected to be the largest property transaction year-to-date if the deal is confirmed. With a gross floor area of 1.77 million square feet, the per-sq-ft price will be about HK$5,900.

The consortium has arranged syndicated loans for the acquisition and has worked out two renewal plans.

The 14-story KITEC has a site area of about 239,800 sq ft. If it is redeveloped, the gross floor area can be 2.87 million sq ft, with a plot ratio of up to 12 times. The per-sq-ft rent at KITEC is around HK$20.

Apart from redeveloping the property into a Grade A commercial building, the consortium may also apply to the Town Planning Board to rezone the site for residential purposes, the sources said, adding that the new buyers value the large site area of the project and the sea view.

The consortium is said to include Sino Land (0083) and CSI Properties (0497), the report said.

Billion Development, Sino Land and CSI Properties won the tender for a commercial plot at the junction of Cheung Yip Street, Sheung Yee Road and Wai Yip Street in Kowloon Bay for HK$3.04 billion in 2015.

The plot has a site area of 40,849 sq ft and a maximum gross floor area of 490,188 sq ft.

Meanwhile, the Urban Renewal Authority said the contract for the development of the Oak Street / Ivy Street Development Project in Tai Kok Tsui has been awarded to K&K Property, with a tender amount of HK$618.1 million.

The URA earlier invited 39 property developers to submit tenders for the project following an expression of interest exercise. The URA received a total of 14 tenders from these 39 property developers when the submission of tender closed on May 20.

The project, which covers a site area of 6,662 sq ft, was commenced in March 2018. Upon completion, it will provide a maximum total gross floor area of 59,965 sq ft.

The URA will also invite interested developers to submit expressions of interest for the development of the Bailey Street / Wing Kwong Street Development Project in To Kwa Wan today.

Hong Kong’s co-working sector set to stabilise, recover as balance returns after years of unbridled expansion

Hong Kong’s co-working industry is recovering as many operators have folded following years of overexpansion, agent said

Hong Kong has the third largest number of co-working spaces in the world after London and New York, according to survey by UK firm CircleLoop

Hong Kong’s co-working sector is on track to stabilise and recover after a period of rapid expansion and will be well supported by the shift to remote working, industry observers say.

The co-working industry in Hong Kong is getting better now after adjustments made in the last few quarters, agent said.

“Previously many operators were in overexpansion mode, but then the market adjusted and many closed down and disappeared, creating a new balance point between supply and demand,” the agent said. “We think it will stabilise again towards year-end.”

The shared office space sector in Hong Kong saw high levels of growth between 2016 and 2018 when several operators announced expansion plans only to beat a hasty retreat after the economic downturn spurred by the social unrest in 2019 and the coronavirus pandemic sapped demand.

WeWork, the New York-based shared office provider, has reduced its Hong Kong footprint by half, after giving up 90,000 sq ft of space spread over eight floors in Tower 535 in Causeway Bay. The closure of the flex office was largely related to HSBC, which decided to relocate its business division from the WeWork space to their own building in Central, according to another property agent.

However, some flexible workplace operators, such as IWG, were expanding on the back of their global partnership with Standard Chartered. The bank’s 6,000 employees in Hong Kong can work at any of IWG’s offices after the lender implemented a flexible working arrangement last year.

This month, IWG opened its third centre in the city – a 50,000 sq ft flex office at The Quayside office tower in Kwun Tong, said Paul MacAndrew, country manager for IWG.

Another co-working operator, theDesk, said that all its seven locations in the city had high occupancy. Following a 65 per cent growth in membership last year, the company is “seeing a continuing growth trend” this year, said Paul Johnson, its chief commercial officer.

Separately, a survey by a UK-based company in May found that Hong Kong had the third most number of co-working spaces in the world after London and New York. Hong Kong had 166 co-working spaces, behind 313 in London and 229 in New York, according to the survey by CircleLoop, which operates a cloud-based business phone system.

“No one can deny that the 2020 pandemic has had a lasting impact on the way that companies work for good,” CircleLoop said. “As part of remote working, completing your workday from co-working spaces is a concept that businesses are taking advantage of more than ever before.”

The pandemic has been a game changer, creating instant disruption to the traditional workplace culture, while workers and companies adapt to the change, theDesk’s Johnson said.

With the remote working trend and decentralisation of workforce being implemented by multinational companies, the co-working industry is here to stay, he added.

Developer China Vanke’s Hong Kong unit sets prices for Ho Man Tin project 3 per cent above secondary market

First batch of 50 units at Vau Residence will be offered at an average price of HK$24,519 per square foot after a discount of as much as 16 per cent

Vanke will also offer cash rewards to the first 50 fully vaccinated buyers

Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong), a unit of China Vanke, China’s third-largest developer, will launch a new residential project in Ho Man Tin at prices in line with those of the secondary market.

The price list for a first batch of 50 units measuring 209 sq ft to 388 sq ft at Vau Residence was launched on Thursday. The units will be offered at an average price of HK$24,519 (US$3,160) per square foot after factoring in a discount of as much as 16 per cent. Vanke has not announced a starting date for the sales yet. The development will have 165 units in total.

The prices announced on Thursday are 3 per cent higher than those of units at Seven Victory Avenue, a two-year-old development that is within walking distance of Vau Residence. The units at Seven Victory Avenue were selling for HK$23,820 per square foot, according to property agency.

“It is common practice for developers to offer their first batch of units at competitive prices, to draw buying interest. Builders will increase prices for the subsequent batches, once they have generated strong sales,” agent said.

The price list’s launch comes amid growing optimism that Hong Kong home prices will climb further this year as the city’s economy shows further signs of recovery. On Tuesday, US investment bank Goldman Sachs said it expected a 5 per cent rise in home prices this year, while property agent has forecast a 15 per cent increase.

“The launch prices have taken into reference the first and second-hand transaction market. We will not rule out the possibility of increasing prices for the following batches,” said Quincy Chow, Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong)’s executive director.

The strategy of raising prices for subsequent batches has been adopted by Hong Kong property company New World Development (NWD). After all 331 units at its Pavilia Farm III next to Tai Wai Station were sold on their first day of sales last weekend, NWD has raised prices for the second batch of 388 units to HK$22,600 per square foot, a 13 per cent increase over the launch price of HK$19,999 per square foot offered about a week ago. The second batch goes on sale this Saturday.

Vau Residence would attract both end users and investors, the agent said. “We have seen a sharp rise in home sales in the primary and secondary markets. It reflects buying confidence, which has been boosted by the gradual improvement in economic activity. The reopening of the border later is bound to enhance the sales momentum, when more mainland Chinese are free to visit Hong Kong,” the agent said.

Vanke will also offer a cash reward of HK$28,000 to each of the first 50 Vau Residence buyers who have had their Covid-19 vaccinations before August 31. Vanke said it expects the cash reward will cost it about HK$1.4 million in total.

新冠肺炎疫情下，健康食品销售持续增长，有相关行业老闆大手吸纳商厦。中药保健品制造和零售商维特健灵创办人陈曦龄近期斥资约1.12亿元，购入尖沙咀新港中心3个商厦单位。

根据土地註册处资料显示，新港中心一座5楼1、11及12室，建筑面积分别为2587、2565及2053方呎，成交价分别为4028万、3993.7万及3196.5万元，呎价俱为15570元，成交总值约1.12亿元。是次成交由3家不同公司名义买入，但公司董事俱为陈曦龄，即维特健灵创办人。

呎造15570 三个月贵6%

上述单位原由同一台籍投资者持有，他于1993年以4650万元购入5楼4个单位，总建筑面积9138方呎，呎价5089元，以是次易手的3个单位成交呎价计，升值约2.1倍。

资料显示，新港中心同层10室，建筑面积约1430方呎，于今年3月期间以2100万元易手，呎价14685元，而陈曦龄最新购入的单位呎价，则较3个月前高出6%。

事实上，不少从事零售行业的投资者钟情新港中心单位，如楼上燕窝庄董事侯君侠及侯君刚于去年11月曾斥3230.76万元购入新港中心二座11楼12室，建筑面积2071方呎，呎价15600元。

侯氏二人曾于2019年3月购入同层3至5室，建筑面积共5338方呎，作价1.28亿元，呎价23979元，即前后合共动用逾1.6亿元入市该厦单位。

陈秉志减价沽商厦 冀下半年租务转好

「磁带大王」陈秉志近日减价沽商厦，他谓趁市转好加快沽餘货，而商厦租务仍弱，希望下半年通关后转好。

封关下商厦需求弱

陈秉志两年前曾拆售中环中心 39楼，期间售出7伙单位，尚餘5伙待售。业主见近日市况转好，即趁机推售，并提供约1成折扣，结果非常奏效，5伙单位全沽清。「今次减价只因想尽快沽清该层楼面餘货，先行套现。」

对于市况，他谓今年肯定胜去年，惟始终要通关才有利商厦，「市场上已没有负面消息，市况已转好，但封关下商厦需求弱，中环中心单位出租情况仍欠佳，希望4至6个月后通关，市况便会进一步向好。」

部署上，他谓最近沽货集中在持货已久的物业上，「例如很多已购入20至30年的住宅单位，价格已升很多，这些物业可先行沽售。入市方面，现时仍有在市场上物色，先沽中小型物业，年尾可望购入较大额物业。」

金鐘力宝中心质素佳单位多元化

金鐘商厦林立，当中力宝中心二座单位多，面积大细不一，属区内最具规模而可供买卖的项目。

金鐘为传统商业核心区，商厦甚多，而区内以太古地产 (01972) 旗下太古广场为核心，惟属大业主长綫收租项目，可供买卖的商厦，主要为力宝中心、海富中心、统一中心及远东金融中心等。以规模计，力宝中心二座合共楼面达130万平方呎，为散业权商厦中最具规模，单位面积由数百平方呎至2万餘平方呎，种类多故买卖宗数亦较多。

位置上，力宝中心可谓位处金鐘商厦群正中心，大厦多个出入口，分别连接金鐘廊、太古广场、海富中心等，四通八达。另一边设有天桥连接花园道，可通往长江集团中心及花园道三号等。此外，由于大厦对面为高等法院，故力宝中心亦获不少律师行租用。

步行5分鐘到港铁站

交通方面，由金鐘港铁站出口步行至该厦需时约5分鐘，而近年港铁新增南港岛綫，及日后通车的沙中綫，金鐘站均为转车站，目前由金鐘前往黄竹坑仅10分鐘车程，日后沙中綫可前往九龙及新界，更为方便。大厦地下设有巴士总站、的士站，加上提供停车场。

饮食配套上，基座设两层零售商铺，当中包括咖啡室、酒楼及西式餐厅等，而最近亦有新增零食店等。另外，金鐘廊、太古广场有大量餐厅及商店，加上金鐘区拥多间5星级酒店，设有高级餐厅供商户作商务午餐。

项目提供两幢写字楼，1座楼高45层，而2座则楼高47层。物业一大特色是外形设计凹凸不平，故单位大细不一。电梯大堂设于物业高层地下，甚为宽敞，兼设玻璃採光，环境舒适，为同区散业权商厦中质素最理想。

单位景观上，部分单位享全维港海景，前方仍有多幢商厦，中低层单位景观难免受遮挡，另一面享中半山景观，开扬舒适。

近半年 呎价低于3万

由于物业为本港商厦呎价指标之一，近年造价颇波动，数年前楼市高峰期，呎价高见近5万元，对上一宗较高呎价成交，为去年力宝中心二座2610至11室，面积约3,341平方呎，以约1.3亿元成交，呎价约3.9万元。

受环球疫情影响，整体甲厦呎价回落，该厦亦不例外，近半年该厦成交呎价，普遍低于3万元。5月份该厦录得两宗买卖，其中1座中层2室，面积约1,993平方呎，以约5,900万元成交，呎价约2.96万元，另2座中层单位，面积约2,270平方呎，以每呎约2.55万元易手，与两年前高峰期相比明显下跌。

中环地王财团出价趋审慎本周五截标估值逾370亿

中环新海滨商业地将于本周截标，为同区罕有大型商业地，由于投资金额庞大，料入标财团以大型发展商为主，部分或合併财团，藉以降低风险，据业内人士指出，预期财团出价较审慎，估值约370亿至547亿，每呎楼面地价约2.3万至3.4万。

中环新海滨商业地将于本周五截标，地盘面积约51.6万方呎，以地积比率约3.56倍计，可建楼面约184.2万方呎，其中22.8万方呎楼面需作兴建停车场及政府、机构或社区用途，若扣除相关面积后，商业楼面为约161万方呎。

恒基：将入标竞投

恒基发言人称，集团将参与竞投该地皮；置地执行董事周明祖指出，该商业地皮位处本港核心商业地段，属市场罕有供应，该项目推出对整个市场具正面影响，同时，集团对任何中环区内任何商业地均感兴趣。

有测量师指出，早前铜锣湾加路连山道商业地皮成功批出，对市场具正面作用，是次中环新海滨商业地，估计有3至5个发展商入标，除本地大型发展商外，部分会以合组财团形式入标，或中标后引入策略性投资者。

置地周明祖：对地皮具兴趣

现时虽然不是出售大型商业地皮的最好时机，惟以库房收益及中区长远綫发展，亦理解政府做法，如成功售出，可增加市场信心，估计「双信封」形式招标的流标机会较低，预计财团出价审慎，料每呎地价约2.3万至2.5万，市场估值约370亿至400亿，项目总投资约550亿至650亿。

另一测量师称，该项目为市场瞩目商业地王项目，因投资金额庞大，料入标财团以大型发展商为主，同时该地皮料吸引区内地主注意，料项目收约3至5份标书，不排除发展商合组形式竞投，料每呎地价约3.43万，市场估值约547亿。

老凤祥旺角「铺王」约满撤走完成六年租期业主最新减46%放租

百年老店「老凤祥」在旺角核心地段、位处亚皆老街与西洋菜南街交界的铺位经营六年，近日约满撤走，市场消息指，业主就该「铺王」叫租每月80万，较旧租金减46%。

上址亚皆老街67至至69号，位处西洋菜南街大单边，属旺角区最旺地段，老凤祥本月31日约满，市场人士表示，早前见该金行职员在铺内清场，并拉闸离开，近日未见开门营业；记者现场所见，老凤祥贴出告示指，该店铺营业至6月10日，客人如欲惠顾，请移玉步至同区弥敦道648号或者弥敦道613号的分店。本报分别向老凤祥及该铺位业主黎永滔查询，惟直至截稿时都未联络得上。

最新放租80万 每呎347元

市场消息指出，老凤祥早于2015年7月1日就该铺位签下3年梗约，月租约200万，及至2018年7月1日续租三年，随着铺市回落，续租月租约150万，今年6月30日约满，老凤祥决定撤出。业主黎永滔最新就该铺位放租80万，较旧租金150万减约46%，最新每呎放租347元。

2015年200万抢租

该铺位地下建筑面积约1700方呎，阁楼约600方呎，来自上海、逾百年历史金铺老凤祥2015年逆市南下，率先于尖沙嘴海防道及旺角亚皆老街落位，势与本地薑拗手瓜，当时亚皆老街铺旧租客连锁服装店鱷鱼恤，月租180万，老凤祥在逆市以200万提价抢租，令市场瞩目。

其时，老凤祥亦承租海防道53至55号海防大厦单号铺连阁楼，月租约180万，梗约及生约各3年，惟于梗约约满时撤出海防道，随后先后于尖沙嘴弥敦道及旺角弥敦道租铺设立新据点，并营运至今。上海老凤祥创立于1848年，即满清道光时期，是中国罕有的「百年老店」。

代理指出，由2014年发生佔中事件后，国内旅客逐年减少，直到2019年6月「动乱」，以及2020年1月疫情爆发后，旅客大跌99%，靠本地消费根本不能容纳这麼多珠宝行业，现在四大核心区一綫铺租金，较2013年高峰期大跌60%至70%。

Hong Kong is poised for its ‘land king’ as Central harbourfront site goes for tender with up to US$7.1 billion in valuation

The site could fetch HK$55 billion (US$7.1 billion), consultant said, who has appraised its value between HK$37 billion and HK$55 billion.

The tender for the 516,316 commercial site, which could yield a total gross floor area of 1.6 million sq ft, closes on Friday.

The prime Central harbourfront site, the last mega plot to go on sale in Hong Kong’s core business district, is likely to set a record as the most expensive in the city’s history, according to property consultants.

Under the government’s “two envelope” approach for the sale of New Central Harbourfront Commercial Site 3, submitted bids will be weighed equally for design and price. The tender for the 516,316 commercial site, which could yield a total gross floor area of 1.6 million sq ft, closes on Friday noon.

“Considering the plot’s strategic value, serious bidders will be submit high prices as well as innovative designs, as it is the last commercial site along the waterfront in Central,” consultant said.

The consultant expects the site, next to International Finance Centre, to fetch about HK$55 billion (US$7.1 billion) or HK$34,000 per square foot, the top end of his valuation between HK$37 billion and HK$55 billion.

“It is likely to set a record in Hong Kong’s land sale history,” the consultant said.

Hong Kong’s property market has resumed an upward trajectory after being weighed down for several quarters due to the anti-government protests in mid-2019 followed by the Covid-19 pandemic last year. With the city’s economy returning to growth, individual buyers are returning in droves while developers are bidding top dollar for plots offered for tender.

The current record for Hong Kong’s most expensive land is held by Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP). Hong Kong’s largest developer by market value won the commercial land atop the West Kowloon high-speed railway terminus on Austin Road for a record HK$42.23 billion in November 2019.

A surveyor, shared the consultant’s view.

“Given the large size of the plot and its rarity, it is likely to be the most expensive lot by value,” said Lam, who estimated the site could fetch as much as HK$48 billion, or HK$30,000 per square foot.

“The recent sale of a commercial site at higher-than-expected prices signals developers have regained confidence in the market outlook,” the surveyor said. “This project in Central will take about six to seven years to complete and the market could have fully recovered by then.”

Last month, Hysan Development and Chinachem Group bid HK$19.77 billion for a commercial plot on Caroline Hill Road in Causeway Bay, 15 per cent higher than the market expectation of HK$17.2 billion at the top end.

According to Lands Department’s sale document, bidders for the site are required to submit a technical design proposal with a model and a premium proposal in two separate envelopes before Friday noon.

The Post called 10 of Hong Kong’s top developers to ask them if they were taking part in the tender. Only Henderson Land Development said it would submit a tender while others declined to comment.

“We are very interested in bidding; we will participate,” said Martin Lee, co-chairman of Henderson Land, founded by Hong Kong’s second richest man Lee Shau-kee who has a net worth of US$33.9 billion.

Henderson Land and SHKP were part of a consortium that developed the IFC.

Hongkong Land, the largest landlord in Central, was non-committal, saying it does not comment on specific tenders.

“As a key stakeholder in Central, we believe that the development of the Central Harbourfront site will reinforce Central’s premium ecosystem and enhance its appeal as Hong Kong’s premier commercial district,” said executive director Raymond Chow.

Hongkong Land owns a portfolio of 450,000 square metres (4.84 million sq ft) of real estate, including grade A office buildings One, Two and Three Exchange Square and luxury shopping centre Landmark.

Donald Choi, chief executive of Chinachem Group, said the parcel being one of the last sites in Central along the waterfront made it “attractive” and that it was studying the tender.

“However, construction costs would be very expensive due to the rail transit line underground and complex road traffic conditions,” Choi said.

The project sits in Kai Tak Area 4B Site 2, which has a site area of 97,392 sq ft and a maximum gross floor area of 594,082 sq ft. China Overseas won the tender for the residential plot for HK$8.03 billion, or HK$13,523 per buildable sq ft in December 2018.

NWD had received 30,108 registrations of intent from potential buyers for the 338 flats in the third price list at the third phase, making them 88 times oversubscribed, and the highest number of registrations since 1997.

In Kai Tak, Henderson Land Development (0012) expected to launch The Henley II this month, which provides 301 flats.

中环中心76楼月租200.8万插24%

受新冠疫情影响，核心商业区商厦租金大跌，原由澳洲共享工作空间品牌Victory Offices租用的中环皇后大道中99号中环中心极高层全层单位，突于去年底弃租，丢空半年后，最新以月租约200.8万元租出，呎租85元，较前租约急跌23.7%。

澳洲共享工作空间品牌Victory Offices于2019年5月起租用中环中心76楼全层，建筑面积约23628方呎，作为该品牌首个澳洲以外的据点，当时月租高达约263万元，呎租约111元，并签约5年至2024年。

惟该品牌在签署租约后，本港爆发社会事件，市况已开始逆转，但仍无碍Victory Offices在港大展拳脚的决心，豪装单位，提供共享工作办公枱，并拥有接待处、酒吧、电话亭及禪室等配套，走高档路线，更在2019年9月开幕。

每呎85元仍为今年新高

不过，去年初本港爆发新冠疫情，令本已疲弱的商厦需求雪上加霜，Victory Offices亦有指在去年中起欠租，最终在去年12月结业，即提早三年半退租。

由于市况疲弱，故上址业主世茂房地产 (00813)主席许荣茂重推单位放租时，已把每方呎叫租减至95元，较原本租金低14.4%。但仍要放租约半年，近日才以每方呎85元租出，涉及月租约200.8万元，较Victory Offices所缴付的租金每月少收62.2万元或23.7%。不过，由于76楼属极高层单位，故是次成交呎租已为中环中心今年新高。

此外，合和实业旗下九龙湾国际展贸中心以约105亿元售予亿京牵头财团。亿京集团主席余卓儿接受传媒访问时指出，集团佔有七成权益，将维持原有地积比，重建成综合式商业项目，包括商场及甲级写字楼，总投资额约200亿元。

新地高铁站商地项目 削高度再闯关

新地 (00016) 去年向城规会争取，将西九高铁站商业地王「增高」建成两幢钻石型商厦不果，发展商近日修订覆核方案改成两幢「花瓣状」商厦，并将高度最多削减26%，务求再度闯关。

该幅商业地是新地在2019年以422.3亿元投得，发展商在去年向城规会提交新方案，除了将写字楼楼面减少1成至256.2万平方呎，并将商场零售楼面增加9成至约60万平方呎外，还申请放宽高度限制3至4成，以兴建两幢最多30层高「钻石型」商厦。

新方案设计两幢「花瓣状」商厦

新地提交的「增高」方案在去年未获城规会批准，发展商申请覆核并在早前申请修订方案，当中办公室及商场楼面维持不变，但设计构思则由「两粒钻石」，变成两幢「花瓣状」的商厦，层数则为19层至30层高。

如果以建筑高度 (主水平基準以上) 计算，由原本114米至159米，修订为101米至148米高，其中在较近擎天半岛的1A座高度由原本159米降低至118米，减少26%，而近漾日居的2B座则由114米减少至101米，减少11%。

虽然项目整体建筑高度有所降低，不过仍然高于规划大纲图上90米至115米的高度，超出高度由3%至48米不等。

新地发言人指出，期望透过优化项目的规划设计，有效地回应城规会和不同持份者的意见，为香港打造具特色的地标性项目，惠及西九龙区的居民，新方案大幅降低建筑物高度，新增对公眾开放的免费天台户外观景台，并初步取得项目北面的西九龙站巴士总站天台花园的设计优化和管理权，令西九花园绿径更为完整。

新地汀九帝景酒店 申改661伙住宅

疫情下酒店业受重创，继长实后再有发展商将酒店转型。新地申请将荃湾汀九只有14年历史的帝景酒店，改装成为661伙住宅，以及提供60个长者日间护理中心的宿位。

位于汀九桥落脚点的帝景酒店，现时为691间客房的酒店，在2007年落成，近日新地向城规会申请由原本「综合发展区（1）」等用途，改划作为「住宅 (乙类)2」用途，将现址15层高的酒店改装成为住宅用途，将提供31.6万平方呎住用楼面，将提供661个分层住宅以及1.8万平方呎的会所，另外在地下及1楼的部分楼面则会作为长者日间护理中心，提供60个宿位。

事实上，近年长实 (01113) 亦加快将旗下酒店重建成住宅及商厦，去年亦获准将天水围嘉湖海逸酒店重建成5,000个住宅，而马鞍山酒店海澄轩亦申请重建成758个住宅单位。

新世界继园街地盘 申扩规模

另外，由新世界 (00017) 积极收购的北角继园街一带多幢旧楼重建，涉及地盘面积19.1万平方呎，属于「「综合发展区 (1)」，原本在2014年获准重建成1,249个住宅单位，其中第1期的东面地盘已经建成涉及611伙的柏蔚山，而属于第2A及2B期的西面地盘则申请由原本638伙，增加33%至850伙。

当中继园街60至76号的旧楼将会作为2A期地盘，兴建1幢31层高的住宅大楼，提供310伙，涉及楼面约22.2万平方呎，发展商指已经整合业权，可以短期落实分期发展，并在2024年年底落成。

Hong Kong’s home buying frenzy returns, as a record number of bidders snapped up every flat of New World’s The Pavilia Farm III project on offer in Tai Wai

New World Development received 30,108 online registrations of interest, or a record 89 bids for each of the 338 flats on offer at The Pavilia Farm III

Every flat was sold as at 7pm, even as the average price rose 13 per cent compared with the launch price last month

Hong Kong’s property buyers snapped up every single flat put on the market by New World Development during its second round of weekend sales of The Pavilia Farm III project in Tai Wai, with a record number of bidders chasing after every unit.

As many as 30,108 online bids were received for 338 flats, or 89 registrations of interest for every apartment on average, according to a New World spokeswoman. Every unit had sold out by 7pm, according to several sales agents.

The project’s location in Tai Wai, the main transport interchange in Hong Kong’s New Territories, has attracted owner-occupiers and investors alike, as its proximity to amenities, schools, shopping and the transport network improves its potential rental yield, agents said.

“We see a return of demand by investors, as they accounted for 40 per cent of the prospective buyers we received” for this project, agent said, adding that the ratio had increased from 20 per cent in the first quarter.

A lack of new property projects in Tai Wai over the near term, and its connection with the Sha Tin-to-Central link being built by Hong Kong’s subway network have combined to generate enthusiastic interests for the project, the agent said.

The Pavilia Farm has seen brisk take-up since it was first launched on October 17 last year. The strong demand seen Saturday followed brisk sales performance over the previous week, when all 331 units in the first round sale were sold last weekend.

The current low interest rate environment, and swelling optimism over the state of the Hong Kong’s economic outlook have spurred more investors to park their money into real estate, property agents said. The US Federal Reserve has signalled that they would keep interest rate at near-zero through 2023.

Hong Kong’s first-quarter economy expanded at a faster-than-expected 7.9 per cent, the fastest quarterly pace in 11 years, beating economists’ forecasts and bolstering investors’ confidence in the city’s property market.

The improved local business sentiment, coupled with the support from various government relief measures, should help domestic demand to improve in the period ahead, the government has said earlier this month. It has forecast the Hong Kong economy to grow by 3.5 per cent to 5.5 per cent this year, noting however the uncertainty associated with the pandemic is still high.

The average price for the latest batch rose 13 per cent to HK$22,600 per square foot, compared with the launch price of this phase when it was announced last month.

Units on offer ranged from 307 square feet to 1,022 square feet (95 square metres), at between HK$6.9 million and HK$25.9 million (US$3.34 million), or HK$18,498 to HK$25,952 per sq ft after factoring in as much as 20 per cent discount.

The Pavilia Farm, comprising several tower blocks and the largest shopping centre in the eastern New Territories, comprises 3,090 flats in total over several phases. The Phase III development has 892 units and is scheduled to be completed in June 2023.

佔据中环心臟位置的新海滨3号商业地王，将于周五截标；区内拥有地标项目的大型发展商，如持有国金 (IFC)的恒地 (00012) 已表态一定会参与竞投，英资怡和旗下的置地有机会进一步扩大商业版图，连同会德丰地产等财团，势掀一场「地王争霸战」。

经历长达半年招标期的中环新海滨3号商业地王，终在本周五 (18日) 截标。这幅地皮位于怡和大厦对出，比邻国际金融中心一期及二期，旁边亦是知名旅游景点香港摩天轮。地皮面积近52万平方呎，最高可建楼面约161.5万平方呎。中标财团另需兴建约23万平方呎的政府设施，包括重置现时的邮政总局等。地皮市场估值330亿至553亿元。

梁志坚：靚地吸本地龙头入标

贵为中环核心地段的罕有大型商业地，市场预计，地皮会吸引本港多间一綫发展商竞投。持有国际金融中心一期及二期的恒地，已表明一定会参与竞投，因为地皮属「靚地」，加上其发展潜力大；惟现阶段未可透露发展方案及投资额。即使在疫情打击下，中环的甲级写字楼空置率攀升，但是集团依然十分看好中环的商业前景，又形容「国金的租客退租后，即有新租客承接」。

至于属英资怡和旗下的置地，目前在中环亦拥有多个商业项目，包括比邻地皮的怡和大厦、交易广场、置地广场及太子大厦等，属「中环大地主」。而怡和已经多年未有参与竞投本港地皮，但今次中环地王位于集团商业王国版图内，或会吸引置地罕有出手竞投。虽然置地公司执行董事周明祖日前未有正面回答集团是否有意入标地皮，惟他形容，集团对于所有中环区的项目都感兴趣，又称得悉很多人有留意这幅地皮。

其次，会德丰地产主席梁志坚表示，集团已经思考了很久，并正考虑会否入标，因为入标前的工作繁多，坦言「有好多事要理会」，并有意发展商场及写字楼。他直言，鑑于地皮位处市区地段，估计一定会吸引本地龙头发展商入标。

测量师估 中资参与机会不大

值得一提的是，近年本港官地不乏中资参与，例如中资平安人寿去年以约113亿元购入西九高铁站上盖商业地王办公室部分的30%业权，因此中资亦有机会竞投上述地王。

有测量师预计，虽中资有能力承担高昂的投地金额，惟他们对香港的熟悉度始终不及本港发展商，因此他预计中资入标的机会不太大，或有可能伙拍本地发展商竞投。不过，由于中资希望在中环「插旗」，因而不排除他们日后会收购地皮的整座商厦，并取得命名权。以目前市况推断，地皮商厦部分落成后呎租可达80至100元水平。

置地灵活办公空间 租期3个月起

置地近日在公爵大厦开设两层共2.5万平方呎的灵活的办公空间「Centricity Flex」，租约期短至3个月起，希望打造生态圈，为其中环商厦群引入更多租户。

公爵大厦Centricity Flex 涉2.5万呎

该Centricity Flex设在公爵大厦17楼及18楼，合共面积2.5万平方呎，最多可放置320张工作枱，每次须承租至少300平方呎空间或8张工作枱。跟置地旗下商厦多以长租约为主不同，Centricity Flex租约期为3个月至3年不等。据指已有一家国际金融机构将成为主要租户，首次进驻中环。

同时，Centricity Flex亦设有16个单人或双人办公隔间、7间会议室、22张流动座位 (Hot desks)。单人办公室时租介乎50至100元，而会议室时租则介乎400至1,700元。置地指，以项目的位置及质素，定位为高端产品，但在市场中并不属于最贵的一类。

置地执行董事周明祖指，置地旗下中环物业为租户提供一站式解决方案，小至办公隔间、大至超过十万平方呎的多层办公空间，租约期短至数月、长至10年以上，以满足企业不同阶段的增长需求。

Centricity Flex目标租户是优质企业，尤其是希望以更灵活的租赁条款物色办公室的金融机构及专业服务机构。周明祖称，希望能够建立起生态圈，丰富中环商厦群的商户组合。至于Centricity主管班立德则指，Centricity Flex为企业的业务增长和灵活发展提供支持。

粉岭安乐村 转发展数据中心

踏入5G年代，市场对数据中心的需求大大增加，不少财团积极购入本港工业地发展相关业务。观乎近年粉岭安乐村工业区有不少新发展，区内7个工厦兴建或活化项目，共提供约114万平方呎楼面，当中有部分已落实发展为数据中心，包括已批予外资的安乐门街工业官地，涉约21.7万平方呎楼面。

邻近粉岭联和墟的安乐村工业区，范围达351.1万平方呎，现时属于「工业」规划用途。区内由98幢工业大厦，及政府持有的20幅休憩用地、临时停车场等组成。有见社会对工厦、货仓仍然有相当需求，因此规划署之前决定保留该区作为「工业」规划用途，并放宽规划发展限制。

7项目 提供逾114万呎楼面

随着资讯发达，并吸引不少本地及外地发展商在港买地发展数据中心。近年政府陆续推出该区的政府工业用地，其中最新于本年初，以约8.1294亿元批出的的粉岭安乐门街工业地，亦将会发展为数据中心。地皮位于粉岭安乐门街、安全街与安居街交界，面积约4.34万平方呎，以地积比率约5倍发展，最高可建楼面约21.7万平方呎，以每平方呎楼面地价约3,750元计，创下新界北区工业地呎价新高，可见相关用地需求上升。

上述地皮最终由新加坡丰树产业夺得，集团考虑到电子商务、云端运算及5G网络日渐盛行，上述业务对数据中心的需求逐步增加等因素，决定在此地皮设立集团首个位于香港的数据中心，并计划出租予终端使用者或数据中心营运商等。该数据中心除了服务本地用家外，亦会提供良好及快速的网络予深圳的云端用家，及其餘内地主要城市的用家。

佳明两地皮 建出租用数据中心

值得一提的是，去年佳明旗下两间全资附属公司，亦分别以约1.68亿及约1.88亿元，购入粉岭安居街3号及粉岭安福街7号地皮。两幅地皮面积分别约1.79万及1.91万平方呎。如以地积比率5倍发展，经补地价后，分别可以兴建约8.95万及约9.55万平方呎楼面的工厦。佳明亦表示，购入地皮后，将兴建两座数据中心，并作租赁用途。另一方面，区内亦有其他新式工厦或活化项目，包括区内对上一幅批出，于2018年由亿京夺得的安乐村用地。该地皮已获批兴建1幢15层高（1层地库上）的新型工厦，涉及总楼面约30.18万平方呎，料主要作工业物流等用途。若以中标价计，每平方呎楼面地价约2,430元。

同时，已故铺王「波叔」邓成波于2014年购入的勉励龙中心，总楼面约15.3万平方呎，已获批活化用途，可重建作商店及食肆，重建后楼面最高约21.19万平方呎。

Hongkong Land opens its Centricity Flex space in Central, embracing flexible work as more people work from home

Hongkong Land’s Centricity Flex, with 25,000 square feet (2,322 square metres) of space, opens today on the 17th and 18th floor of the Landmark Edinburgh Tower on Queen’s Road Central

Private suites range from 900 sq ft to 2,300 sq ft on the 17th floor while those on the 18th can be configured subject to client’s needs

Hongkong Land, the biggest commercial landlord in the city’s Central business district, has opened a flexible work environment at one of the world’s most expensive office addresses, in a U-turn to its reticence to develop co-working space.

The developer’s Centricity Flex, featuring 25,000 square feet (2,322 square metres) opens today on the 17th and 18th floor of the Landmark Edinburgh Tower on Queen’s Road Central. Other tenants in the tower include the audit firm PwC, the Swiss private bank Bank J. Safra Sarasin and the white-shoe legal practices K&L Gates and Skadden Arps.

An international financial services firm has signed on as the first tenant of Centricity Flex, occupying a private office suite, Hongkong Land said without disclosing the customer’s name.

“We would like to offer companies that are similar to those in our current tenants portfolio an option to traditional leases,” said the developer’s executive director Raymond Chow. “By working in Centricity Flex, tenants can get a first impression of being part of Hongkong Land’s community.”

The market for flexible working space is picking up again in Hong Kong after the initial slump brought by tough social-distancing rules during the early months of the coronavirus pandemic.

Co-working space operators, who often sublet space to other tenants, have developed a bad name, as the market shrank in the past year. WeWork, the global pioneer of the co-working space concept, gave up 90,000 square feet of space over eight floors in Causeway Bay in March, shrinking its real estate footprint as more people chose to work from home.

With office vacancy rates soaring to a 15-year record of 7.5 per cent, a change in behaviour is under way: co-working space is becoming attractive again as firms eschew office space that cost tens of millions of dollars in annual rent for flexible arrangements during the post-coronavirus era that include a mix of working from home and working in the office. The up shot is cheaper overhead, whilst maintaining the prestige of an office address in Central.

Hongkong Land, 50 per cent owned by the conglomerate Jardine Matheson Holdings, is not the only developer to embrace the co-working concept. Great Eagles Holdings, the owner of The Langham chain of hotels, opened its fifth Eaton Club flexible space at its Great Eagle Centre towers in Wan Chai in December. China Resources, one of the largest mainland Chinese conglomerates in Hong Kong, opened its China Resources Building Business Lounge at its building in the same neighbourhood two months earlier.

Swire Properties, the real estate unit of the Swire Group that already operates the Blueprint flexible workspace, is considering adding more space at its Two Taikoo Place commercial property in Quarry Bay, scheduled for completion in 2022.

“Across the entire market, landlords have increased the flexibility they offer to tenants,” property agent said. “There is increased emphasis from portfolio landlords to offer greater occupier amenity and experience, and it ranges from flexible office space, communal meeting and conferencing facilities.”

Hongkong Land owns about 450,000 square metres (4.84 million square feet) of prime office and retail space in Central. About 40 per cent of the company’s tenants are financial service institutions, while 30 per cent are law firms, Hongkong Land said.

The private suites at Centricity Flex range from 900 sq ft to 2,300 sq ft on the 17th floor while those on the 18th can be configured subject to client’s needs. Tenants of Centricity Flex can rent any of the seven meeting rooms, hot desks and working pods on an hourly basis.

The average monthly rent for grade A office space in Central has fallen to HK$100 per square foot, according to another property agent. The falling cost has attracted some tenants back to the area, with S&P moving back to Three Exchange Square in Central, from the International Commerce Centre (ICC) in West Kowloon, paying HK$2.2 million a month.

Co-working space with 50 desks at Centricity Flex costs an estimated HK$230,000 a month based on calculations by South China Morning Post, and comes with access to all services, including discounts at any of the restaurants in Hongkong Land’s portfolio such as the Michelin-starred Amber, with a month-long reservations waiting list.

“We want to have a relationship with you and then we move that relationship forward for many years, so it’s not just a short-term relationship; we want to have a relationship for generations,” Chow said. “It is also an extension of our services to our current tenants as all facilities in Centricity Flex are open to them. It’s not really co-working, but flexible facilities.”

中环新海滨地王设计是投标胜败的重要因素，由于地王受制于高度限制，加上要兴建大型观景平台，预期商场部分或要向地库发展，而上盖兴建数幢10多层高中小型商厦，日后易于连命名权全幢形式出售。

将于明日截标的中环新海滨3号地皮，虽然地盘面积达51.6万平方呎，总楼面达184万平方呎，但建筑上却有不少限制，影响到发展商的设计及剪裁，最终亦令地价受到影响。

首先是地皮位于中环海滨地段，规划上早已定位为中低层发展，招标文件内非地价评分部分列明，地皮的西面建筑高限大约50米 (主水平基準以上，下同)，而东面则以观景平台为主，高限只有16米。

料日后连命名权全幢出售

由于规划大纲 (Planning Brief) 内表明，不倾向兴建长的连续立面 (long continuous façade)，发展商亦难以将楼面集中在西面地盘兴建1幢「肥、矮」的巨型商厦，而是兴建多幢中小型商厦，估计每幢楼面介乎20万至40万平方呎。

近年不少内地财团来港购入全幢商厦作投资，并拥有命名权，包括早前平安人寿斥113亿元入股新地 (00016) 西九高铁站上盖商厦的30%业权，而中国人寿及深圳祥祺集团分别购入红磡One HarbourGate两幢商厦等，日后新海滨上盖的商厦亦会受市场欢迎。

同时，由于中环核心区甲厦的价值，高于零售商场的价值，虽然卖地条款无限制地皮办公室楼面上限，但受到上述高限影响，以现时甲级商厦楼底达3.8至4.5米高，意味最多亦只能够兴建11至13层高的写字楼，发展商或要拨出相当楼面作零售商场用途。

约半楼面作商场 或影响地价

有测量师认为，在高限影响之下发展商「无选择」，估计将大约一半楼面作商场用途，而由于中环区内商场地价估计只是1万多元，远低于商厦地价的4万至5万元，导致整个地皮的地价将会被大幅拖低。

同时，项目规定须提供26.9万平方呎的公共休憩空间，其中一半更要位于地面，加上30%的上盖面积 (Site Coverage) 须作绿化用途，亦即是整幅用地相当多的地面部分不能够兴建商场等建筑物，部分商场楼面或要下移至地库部分。

该测量师认为，上盖设计要取得高分，一定是倾向开放更多公共空间给市民享用，而商场在限制下使用地库的设计，由于建筑成本高，亦会影响到地价。

除了商场向地下发展外，地皮被龙和路及民耀街两条马路横跨，而地底则被机场铁路掉车隧道，以及中环湾仔绕道的隧道保护区所切开，导致地皮规划上要一分为三。

廖伟麟拆售有线电视大楼 入场费759万起

荃湾由传统工业区摇身为新界核心商贸区，加上区内近年有多个住宅相继入伙，带动区内物业投资价值，而资深投资者廖伟麟看好工商前景，将早年购入的荃湾有线电视大楼高层全层单位，重新装修再拆售，部分交吉或连租约，买家更可选择长或短成交期，以迎不同需要，现推售9个单位，意向呎价约由5,500元起，门槛低至约759万元起。

长或短成交期 应不同所需

代理指，由资深投资者廖伟麟持有的荃湾海盛路9号有线电视大楼30楼全层，现正分拆出售，全层楼面共分为14个单位，其中3伙已于早前率先获预留，而现正推售的精选单位，面积由约1,380至3,418平方呎不等，意向呎价由约5,500元起，入场费约759万元起。业主更悉心提供长、短成交期，以应不同用家所需，成交期由最短3个月，至最长达12个月，让準买家于财务安排上更具弹性。至于项目开售旋即获承接，为30楼01室，面积约2,161平方呎，以约1,253.38万元成交，平均呎价约5,800元。

速获承接 呎价5800

该代理指，现时待售的餘货单位均以连租约形式出售，月租由约1.86万元至相连户月租约11万餘元不等，租期最短至2021年8月，最长至2024年年初，买家可因应自用或投资所需作出灵活选择；再者，业主放售诚意十足，自行斥资约250万元为30楼全层作全面翻新，包括楼层大堂、走廊、洗手间等，大为提升物业叫座力，而放售的单位中，部分更可享开扬海景，增添放售单位的吸引力。

该代理续指，有线电视大楼作为荃湾区地标式大厦，虽然物业属工业用途，但其装修、设计及配套等均可媲美写字楼，该厦的电梯大堂採用云石设计，新簇时尚，予人感觉光鲜明亮，而该厦早前更有消息指获外资基金以约26亿元洽购一篮子单位，涉及总楼面面积逾56万平方呎，足以证明投资者对该厦潜力极具信心，而是次拆售的30楼全层项目，既已全面翻新，同时又提供灵活的成交期、部分单位交吉及连租约可选，料销售反应将理想。

铜锣湾商业地王中标价高次标48%

铜锣湾加路连山道商业地王于上月开标，由希慎伙拍华懋以逾197亿，力压其餘5家财团得手，楼面呎价约18374元，地政总署昨公布其餘落选标价，出价介乎21.53亿至133.31亿，楼面呎价2000至12385元，中标价较次标高约48%，而最低出价则较中标价低出达89%。

希慎伙华懋逾197亿投得

加路连山道商业地王于上月由希慎伙拍华懋以逾197亿投得，高市场估值上限价逾10%。地政总署昨以不具名方式，公开该地皮各标价，出价介乎21.53亿至133.31亿，以可建楼面约107.6万方呎计，楼面呎价由2000至12385元。

其中，次标为133.31亿，楼面呎价12385元，首标较次标价高约48%，由此可见，希慎等对该地皮可谓志在必得，同时亦有财团以「执鸡价」竞投，最低标价为21.53亿，楼面呎价2000元，较中标价低约89%。

Causeway Bay plot winning bid miles ahead of rest

The second-highest bidder for the prime commercial site on Caroline Hill Road in Causeway Bay only offered HK$13.33 billion, which was nearly 33 percent lower than the winning bid from Hysan Development (0014) and Chinachem.

Last month, Hysan and Chinachem won the tender with a bid of HK$19.78 billion or HK$18,374 per buildable square foot, beating market estimates.

Six consortia, including CK Asset (1113), Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) and Link REIT (0823), joined the tender.

The third-highest bidder offered HK$12.01 billion while the remaining bids were lower than HK$10 billion with the lowest being HK$2.15 billion.

Meanwhile, surveyors estimates the bid price for the prime Central Harbourfront commercial site, whose tender closes tomorrow, will be as much as HK$48.44 billion.

In the secondary residential market, property agent recorded 325 secondary transactions in Kowloon City District in the first five months, a fivefold increase from 52 in the same period last year, prior to the full opening of the Tuen Ma Line on June 27. More than 200 of them were acquisitions of ownership of old buildings.

In the primary market, The Pavilia Farm III in Tai Wai will open sales of 173 units this Sunday and tender 46 four-bedroom units.

市场焦点中环新海滨商业地王于今日截标，无论发展规模以及所需资金庞大，料入标财团以大型发展商为主。恒基、会德丰地产均表明会竞投，同时，市场人士亦预期，新地、长实，以及作为中区大地主的置地亦会加入争逐；由于地皮採「双信封」形式，除著重出价外，亦要评定其设计方案，据悉，有打算入标的大型财团，已邀请世界知名建筑商为项目设计。知情人士透露，料项目收4至5份标书。

地产界人士认为，虽然过去2年，本港受政治、经济以及疫情等因素影响，商业地皮价值大受打击，其中啟德商业地更曾流标收场，然而，考虑中环区内近年商业地皮的地价，以及上月铜锣湾商业地王以天价成交，相信今日截标的中环商业地王，将吸引大型发展商入标竞投。

採「双信封」式招标

其中，曾以地价逾232亿、楼面呎价约5万夺得中环美利道商业地的恒基，其发言人称，将会入标竞投。

会德丰地产主席梁志坚称，今日亦会入标竞投，期望可成功夺地，但是否会再创地价新高，则认为各财团在出价上会各自计数。至于华懋执行董事兼行政总裁蔡宏兴称，是次入标不作评论，但由于地皮底下有港铁及隧道等，在建筑上较为复杂，将直接推高建筑成本。

恒基会德丰出击

市场人士认为，大型发展商新地及长实，相信亦会入标竞投，而作为中环大地主的置地，相信亦会入标；此外，以19年批出的西九龙高铁站商业地王为例，当时地价逾422亿，楼面呎价约1.3万，由于涉及资金庞大，当日只接获3份标书，包括最终中标的新地，其餘则为长实，而信和伙拍恒基、九仓、华置及利福国际合组财团入标。

市场料长实新地置地将角逐

此外，由于地皮採「双信封」形式，除着重出价外，亦要评定其设计方案，两者比重各佔50%，故此就算标价最高，惟设计未能配合整体规划，都未必可成功投得，发展商为其一击即中，已搜罗全世界出名的建筑师为地皮作设计，部分更「争崩头」互抢著名的建筑师行，亦有发展商更邀请多达一家建筑商以上，希望取得最佳方案，以图脱颖而出。

同时亦有大型财团，已邀请世界知名建筑商作项目经理，务求在建筑及设计上，可配合周遭整体规划，以及成为地标式项目。

有测量师指出，早前铜锣湾加路连山道商业地以高于市场预期上限批出，对市场具正面作用，料中环海滨商业地王可截收约3至5份标书，以大型发展商作主导，并料部分发展商以合组财团入标。

九龙站422亿批出

近年市场推出多幅商业地王，并连录天价成交，当中以新地于2019年、豪掷逾422亿夺得西九龙高铁站上盖商业地最瞩目，另外，希慎于上月亦伙拍华懋以197亿夺得铜锣湾加路连山道商业地，每方呎地价约1.83万，高于市场估值上限逾一成。

每呎楼面地价1.33万

新地于2019年11月以逾422亿投得高铁站上盖商业地王，创政府地皮成交价纪录，楼面呎价约13345元，另外，于上月截标的铜锣湾加路连山道商业地王，由「铜锣湾大地主」希慎伙拍华懋豪掷逾197亿、力压其餘5家财团得手，楼面呎价约18374元，较次标高近五成。另外，早前于市场批出的天价地王，包括恒基于2017年以逾238夺得中环美利道商业地，每方呎地价高见5万，较区内甲厦现楼售价更高，反映发展商不惜以高价争夺市区罕有地王。

核心区个别甲厦减价盘 承接力理想

近日中环甲厦成交略增，特别有业主减价拆售单位，即在极短时间沽清，反映市况有改善，甲厦楼价可望企稳。

据代理10大商厦统计显示，上月10大指标商厦录6宗成交，整体交投量仍低。中环指标甲厦皇后大道中九号录得买卖，涉及高层05室，面积约2,800平方呎，以约1.26亿元成交，呎价约4.5万元，造价颇理想。

尖东新文华中心单位 6180万沽

九龙区方面，尖东新文华中心A座3楼1、2、3室，面积约6,500平方呎，以6,180万元易手，呎价约9,508元，新买家公司董事包括林佑碧、林佑珊及苏园园，为任天堂游戏机Switch等游戏代理商。原业主于08年以4,245.75万元购入该批单位，持货13年，帐面赚1,934.25万元

中环中心拆售 5单位涉3.3亿

除了10大商厦外，近期甲厦成交焦点，尽在中环中心上，「磁带大王」陈秉志推出中环中心39楼最后5伙，当中包括01、07、11、12及13室，面积由1,995至2,769平方呎，如3901室，面积约2,726平方呎，以约8,924万元成交，呎价约3.3万元。据悉，该批单位由陈秉志持有，早年分拆出售，尚餘5单位，近日再度推出。为配合销售，业主提供优惠，每个单位回赠1,000万元，变相减价逾1成。由于价格相对吸引，业主推出仅两天，5单位均获承接，业主套现约3.3亿元。

代理分析，近期本港疫情缓和，整体投资气氛转佳，而甲厦业主普遍实力较强，少有减价，故整体成交量未反弹。他指，从近期中环中心单位略为减价，即在一日内售出5伙，反映市场投资气氛甚佳，买家见价格有回调即入市，可见资金仍多。租务方面，该代理指近期租务相对稳定，而租金渐平稳，如金鐘力宝中心，呎租约45至50元，近期明显见跌幅缓和。

后市上，代理认为目前投资气氛明显胜去年，惟大部分甲厦业主减价幅度不高，準买家仍未追价，故相信短时间内交投量仍偏低，而价格方面，随着气氛转好，甲厦价格可望企稳。

中环甲厦空置率 5月录约7.35%

有代理行资料显示，5月份中环区甲级商厦空置率录得约7.35%，比4月轻微上升0.15个百分点；而中环区商厦空置率自今年1月起走势趋稳，连续第7个月维持于7%水平。

宝声5800万购铺 平878万统一业权

根据土地註册处资料，九龙城狮子石道75号地铺连阁楼，面积1,800平方呎，连1,400平方呎阁楼，以5,800万元成交。而翻查法庭判案书资料，宝声曾申请强拍，而是次购入的地铺单位，佔整幢物业估值约29.9%，意味若宝声在去年以强拍方式统一业权方式购入地铺，便需要支付拍卖成交价2.23亿元的29.9%、即约6,679万元。比起要以强拍方式须花费的6,679万元购入业权，是次宝声收购成功节省约878万元的开支。

Hong Kong’s largest developers, and richest families, pile into blockbuster seafront land sale in nod to city’s outlook

Sun Hung Kai Properties, CK Asset Holdings, Henderson Land Development, Wheelock’s Wharf unit, Sino Land and the Great Eagle Group are bidding for Site 3 at Connaught Place.

The land measuring 516,316 square feet, which can yield 1.61 million square feet of gross floor area, is valued at between HK$37 billion and up to HK$55 billion.

Half a dozen real estate developers owned by Hong Kong’s wealthiest families have thrown their hats into the ring to bid for the largest plot of harbourfront commercial land in Central, in a test of the property market that offers a peek into the city’s future standing as an Asian financial hub.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), Hong Kong’s largest developer by market value, controlled by the Kwok family, confirmed that it submitted a bid for Site 3 at Connaught Place in Central, a 516,316 square feet (47,970 square metres) plot that includes the 1976 General Post Office. The land parcel, which can yield 1.61 million square feet of gross floor area, has been valued at between HK$37 billion and up to HK$55 billion (US$7.1 billion), topping the scales as the most expensive plot in a city used to setting price records.

“Most of the big developers are taking part in the tender process, which shows their long term confidence in Hong Kong’s economic outlook,” property agent said, who had expected between three to five bids. Total development cost could top HK$65 billion inclusive of the land cost, the agent said.

Hong Kong’s economy grew at a larger-than-expected pace of 7.9 per cent in the first three months, the fastest quarterly pace in 11 years compared with a low base last year, as the city claws its way out of its worst recession on record. Two years of economic slump - the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 after the street protests of 2019 - are casting doubt on the city’s viability as a financial centre, as increased emigration and sporadic rumours of capital flight - dispelled by local authorities - weigh on the city’s future.

CK Asset Holdings, one of the two flagship companies owned by Hong Kong’s richest tycoon Li Ka-shing, submitted a bid. Henderson Land Development

, founded by the second-richest tycoon Lee Shau-kee is also taking part. Wharf Real Estate Investment Company, a unit of the Woo family’s Wheelock and Company Limited, said it submitted a bid in a consortium with the city’s subway operator MTR Corporation and ChinaChem Group.Sino Land, controlled by the family of Robert Ng Chee Siong, submitted a joint bid with Great Eagle Holdings of the Lo family, as well as the Chinese state-owned enterprise China Merchants Group.

Hongkong Land, the largest commercial landlord in Central and a unit of the conglomerate Jardine Matheson, declined to say if it submitted a bid.

The sale of the land by the Hong Kong government is also a crucial test of the so-called two envelope approach, which awards the winning bid on the merit of designs, planning and their congruence with the surrounding environment, in addition to beating the minimum reserve price.

The approach gives well-planned bids a chance of winning, breaking the upwards spiral of prices that have kept Hong Kong as the world’s most expensive urban centre to live and work in.

“The system is likely to influence the result of the tender, as some bidders have invested significantly to come up with outstanding designs that include innovative ideas and technical [content],” surveyor said.

Site 3 at Connaught Place is valued between HK$22,980 and HK$34,000 per square foot. On a square-footage basis, Henderson’s 2017 purchase of the Murray Road car park for HK$23.28 billion translated to a record HK$50,064 per square foot.

Hong Kong’s Lands Department will announce the winning bid on, or before November 12, according to a spokesperson, adding that six bids were received.

Sun Hung Kai, capitalised at HK$346 billion, is the record holder of the most expensive plot of land ever sold in Hong Kong. The developer paid HK$42.23 billion, or HK$13,345 per square foot in November 2919 for a parcel of land earmarked for office-retail use on top of the West Kowloon high-speed railway terminus on Austin Road.

Five months after winning the bid, Sun Hung Kai and controlling shareholder Kwok family, sold 30 per cent of the office component of the project for HK$11.27 billion to China’s largest insurer Ping An Insurance Group, keeping all of the retail portion. SHKP owns half the offices, Ping An owns 30 per cent while the Kwok Family Companies own the remaining 20 per cent.

疫情下甲厦租务新需求弱，成交多来自搬迁或收缩规模个案。观塘海滨汇录两宗租务，其中英国超市租用2万平方呎楼面，属缩减业务，呎租约26元，亦较高峰回调两成。

市场消息指，观塘海滨汇录两宗租务成交，其中9楼一单位，面积约2万平方呎，以每平方呎约26元租出。该厦于2019年落成，属全海景办公室，亦获多个跨国企业租用，高峰期呎租达35元以上，现已回调约两成。据悉，新租客为英国超市Sainsbury's，该品牌原租用同区国际贸易中心低层全层，涉及约3.6万平方呎，是次同区搬迁属缩减业务，可节省租金开支。

新传媒集团 租同层3.6万呎

该厦另一宗租务来自同层，涉及约3.6万平方呎楼面，以每平方呎约26元租出，租客为新传媒集团。据悉，该集团原使用观塘鸿图道82号新传媒集团中心，物业由英皇持有。今年4月英皇以以5.08亿元沽出物业，总楼面面积约8.95万平方呎，呎价约5,676元，由外资黑石基金购入，并打算把物业转作迷你仓业务，故集团需寻找新办公室，现租用海滨汇楼面。

疫情下各国仍採入境限制措施，跨国企业暂缓扩充，加上有需要控制成本，故甲厦新租务成交甚少，绝大部分来自同区搬迁，或缩减业务。消息指，观塘国际贸易中心低层全层，面积约3.6万平方呎，以每平方呎约30元租出。据悉，新租客为Farfetch网购平台，包括女士名牌服装、首饰等，而公司原租用黄竹坑物业，如今整合业务加上提升写字楼级数，搬至观塘区。

香港钻石会大厦 呎价30215

商厦买卖方面，消息指，香港钻石会大厦低层，面积约4,137平方呎，以约1,250万元成交，呎价约30,215元。另代理表示，有业主放租观塘鸿图道83号东瀛游广场极高层全层连三个车位，面积约10,875平方呎，意向租金约25万元，每平方呎租约23元。

港岛区甲厦租务上，中环中环中心极高层01室，面积约2,161平方呎，以每月约16.8万元租出，呎租约78元，属近期该厦较理想租金水平。另金鐘统一中心中层01室，面积约2,576平方呎，以每呎约35元租出。

Pavilia Farm III rakes in $2.7b amid buying frenzy

Hong Kong's residential property market remained robust over the weekend as homebuyers snapped up nearly all flats put on sale at The Pavilia Farm phase three in Tai Wai yesterday.

New World Development (0017) collected about HK$2.7 billion after selling 169 out of 173 flats on offer at the third phase of The Pavilia Farm above Tai Wai Station, with one buyer forking out HK$54 million for three flats.

NWD had received about 30,500 registrations of intent from potential buyers for the 173 flats, making them 175 times oversubscribed, and the highest number of registrations since 1997.

The 173 flats include 170 flats in the fourth price list and three flats that were given up by previous buyers.

The 170 flats in the fourth price list were offered at an average price of HK$24,858 per sq ft after a maximum 20 percent discount is applied, 24 percent higher than the first price list.

NWD had recorded three cases of forfeited deposits totaling around HK$1.38 million over three flats at the third phase. The three flats were offered at between HK$7.91 million and HK$11.84 million. The preliminary deposits are equivalent to 5 percent of the purchase prices.

In the secondary market, an property agency reported 16 secondary deals at 10 blue-chip housing estates over the past weekend, down by 20 percent week-on-week.

Among the deals, a 717-sq-ft flat at Mei Foo Sun Chuen in Lai Chi Kok changed hands for HK$10.53 million, or HK$14,686 per sq ft.

The seller will gain HK$4.98 million after holding the property for 11 years.

Meanwhile, the full opening of the Tuen Ma Line on June 27 is propping up transactions in Kowloon City District.

A 478-sq-ft flat at 18 Farm Road in To Kwa Wan fetched HK$9.8 million, or HK$20,502 per sq ft, about 10 percent higher than the bank valuation. The seller bought the flat for HK$4.25 million in 2010 and will gain HK$5.55 million. The seller decided to sell the flat as the Tuen Ma Line is to launch in full at the end of June, according to the property agency.

Hong Kong property stocks enjoy value revival as they hitch ride on economic rebound with foreign funds on the prowl

The Hang Seng property index has returned 12.8 per cent this year, outperforming the local market’s blue-chip benchmark

Analysts are bullish on the prospects of developers with shopping malls in their portfolio as latest e-voucher scheme seen propelling retail sales

Hong Kong property stocks are enjoying a value revival as investors pay the highest price for their underlying assets in more than a decade. Strong response to new residential projects, more spending vouchers, and a return of foreign funds could fuel that momentum.

The price-to-book ratio of Hang Seng Property Index members has risen to 1.8 times this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, a level not seen since they averaged two times in 2009. In pandemic-stricken 2020, they slumped to a four-year low of 0.7 times.

Analysts at DBS Bank and Goldman Sachs are upbeat about the market outlook, saying efforts to revive consumption will translate into higher stock prices. The Blackstone Group’s HK$23.7 billion (US$3.05 billion) bid for Soho China also signalled cash-laden funds are on the prowl for bargains.

“The property market remains strong with large amounts of liquidity chasing assets like real estate,” said Raymond Cheng, head of Hong Kong and China research at CGS-CIMB Securities. “There is still room for Hong Kong property stocks [to appreciate], particularly for developers with a large presence in the residential sector.”

Hong Kong’s economy is on the mend, recovering from several quarters of recession brought on by the social unrest and the pandemic. The city’s economy expanded by 7.9 per cent in the first quarter, the most in 11 years, while new home sales are rising at the fastest pace in two years.

Measures to support domestic consumption, such as the latest round of e-voucher scheme, has brightened the outlook for retail sales, which rebounded 12.1 per cent year on year in April. This bodes well for share prices of developers with shopping malls in their portfolio, DBS said.

“The upside has not been completely priced in,” said Jeff Yau Cheuk-man, property sector analyst at DBS Bank (Hong Kong). The situation in Hong Kong continues to improve and investors are showing a renewed interest in this sector, he added.

The Hang Seng Property Index has returned 12.8 per cent this year, outperforming the broader Hang Seng Index, which has gained 7.4 per cent. If annualised, the gauge could record its best year since 2017, according to Bloomberg data. In the US, the real-estate services subsector of the S&P 500 Index has risen 37.7 per cent this year, compared to a 11.7 per cent increase in the main gauge.

Hong Kong’s e-voucher scheme, designed to boost local spending and accelerate the recovery, will offer every adult Hong Kong resident HK$5,000 in spending vouchers, benefiting 7.2 million people. The registration for the scheme is set to begin in July.

Hysan Development, the biggest landlord in Causeway Bay and operator of the Hysan Place and Lee Theatre shopping centres, would particularly benefit from the consumption boost, Yau said. Retail properties made up 30 per cent of its 4.5 million sq ft of portfolio at end-2020.

The stock has risen 5.3 per cent this year to HK$29.95. DBS Bank has a buy rating with a target price of HK$35.80, representing a 19.5 per cent upside. Yau said that the worst is probably over for the retail sector, which means leasing incomes are due for a rebound.

Sun Hung Kai Properties has risen 19.7 per cent this year to HK$119.70. The developer has 12 million sq ft of retail space across Hong Kong, including IFC Mall in Central and New Town Plaza in Sha Tin. Goldman has a buy rating and a target price of HK$151.

The strong performance of Hong Kong developers this year has been driven by a notable pickup in property sales and prices, and low interest rates, Goldman analysts led by Gurpreet Singh Sahi wrote in a report earlier this month.

“We expect this outperformance to continue as they are in the early stages of a positive inflection, with improving earnings driven by rising transactions in the Hong Kong residential market, improving property price outlook, and retail sales recovering,” the US bank said.

New residential project launches by the city’s biggest developers this year have received strong response from investors. New World Development has been a stand-out, selling all batches at

The Pavilia Farm project atop the Tai Wai MTR station.

New World Development, which also operates the K11 Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, has soared 11.5 per cent this year to HK$40.25. Goldman Sachs and CGS-CIMB Securities are bullish on the stock, giving the stock a 31 to 39 per cent upside based on their price targets.

MTR Corp says Central harbourfront site bid did not involve government board members to avoid conflict of interest

MTR joined Wharf REIC and Chinachem Group consortium to bid for the prime Central harbourfront site

Board members with conflict of interest were excused from the part of the meeting at which the project was discussed and the decision to submit a bid was taken

Government board members were absent from meetings related to the discussion and decision to bid for a prime site in Central, the MTR Corp said to allay public concerns about conflict of interest.

The rail operator and property developer, in which the Hong Kong government holds a 75 per cent stake, issued a statement in response to media queries over potential conflict of interest after it said it had taken part in the government land tender for the New Central Harbourfront Commercial Site 3. The decision to bid was based on purely commercial consideration, it added.

It was the first time since the MTR’s formation in 1975 that the company had taken part in a government land bid. It formed a consortium with Wharf Real Estate Investment Company, a unit of the Woo family’s Wheelock and Company, and Chinachem Group, to submit a bid for the plot.

“When the decision to submit a bid for the project was deliberated by the MTR’s board of directors, those board members who had an actual or potential conflict of interest in the project (including all government board members) did not receive the relevant board papers and were excused from the part of the meeting at which the project was discussed and the decision to submit a bid was taken,” the MTR said on Saturday.

The site, which can yield 1.61 million sq ft of gross floor area, has been valued at between HK$37 billion and HK$55 billion (US$7.1 billion). It is likely to set a record as the most expensive in the city’s history, according to property consultants.

MTR said that as this was a landmark project located in Central, next to Two International Finance Centre (IFC2) which was developed and managed by the company, “it will bring synergies to the company’s existing business and further reflect the MTR’s community development experience in Hong Kong.”

MTR, which owns the land, jointly developed the IFC2 as part of a consortium led by Sun Hung Kai Properties and Henderson Land Development.

MTR said that its bid partners Wharf REIC and Chinachem Group have their own strengths and bring synergies to the project’s development and management.

MTR’s board members include Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui Ching-yu, Secretary for Transport and Housing Frank Chan Fan, Commissioner for Transport Rosanna Law Shuk-pui and Permanent Secretary for Development (Works) Lam Sai-hung.

Under the government’s “two envelope” approach for the sale of the Central harbourfront site, submitted bids will be weighed equally for design and price.

The 516,316 sq ft plot that includes the General Post Office has attracted six bids from some of Hong Kong developers owned by the city’s wealthiest families.

Other bidders include Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s largest developer by market value and controlled by Kwok families. CK Asset (Holdings), one of the two flagship companies owned by Hong Kong’s richest tycoon Li Ka-shing. Henderson Land, founded by the second-richest tycoon Lee Shau-kee is also taking part. Sino Land, controlled by the family of Robert Ng Chee Siong, submitted a joint bid with Great Eagle Holdings of the Lo family, as well as the Chinese state-owned enterprise China Merchants Group.

New World’s Pavilia Farm III flats snapped up for a third straight week amid bullish buying sentiment

169 out of 173 units at New World Development’s The Pavilia Farm III above Tai Wai MTR station were sold by the day’s close at 8pm

The average price of flats in the third phase that went on sale on Sunday were nearly 25 per cent higher than the launch price announced a month ago

Hong Kong’s home buying frenzy shows no sign of abating, with investors on Sunday snapping up nearly all units put on sale at a large residential project in Tai Wai for a third consecutive week.

169 out of 173 units at The Pavilia Farm III above Tai Wai MTR station were sold by the day’s close at 8pm, the developer New World Development said.

The developer said a record 30,500 prospective buyers had registered for the 173 units, or 176 buyers for each flat. The average price of the latest batch of flats in the project’s third phase has risen 24.3 per cent to HK$24,858 (US$3,850) per square foot from its launch price of HK$19,999 per square foot in late May. The latest price factors in discounts of as much as 20 per cent.

“The sharp rise in registrations is partly driven by Hongkongers who would like to buy ahead of the reopening of the border,” property agent said. “They believe mainland buyers would bid up home prices once they are able to travel to Hong Kong.”

One buyer paid HK$54 million for three units, the largest transaction in the third phase so far.

“Hong Kong buyers have become more optimistic about the city’s economic outlook as more people sign up for vaccinations,” the agent said.

As of Saturday, some 3.18 million people have had at least dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. The city’s flagging inoculation drive has received a boost since late May, after the private sector announced more than

HK$153 million worth of giveaways, such as luxury cars, shopping vouchers and a flat worth HK$10.8 million.

Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs said it expects Hong Kong home prices to rise up to 5 per cent this year.

“Given high property prices, very low interest rates but an improving economy, we expect gradual property price increases in line with household income growth for the residential market,” the US investment bank said in a June 6 report led by analyst Gurpreet Singh Sahi. “We believe [an] easing of Covid-19-related border restrictions between Hong Kong and mainland China would benefit the sale of luxury residential flats.”

An property agent was much more optimistic, predicting an increase of as much as 15 per cent. “Home prices were likely to see a breakthrough in the third quarter and this will be followed by an obvious rising trend as Hong Kong’s economy has started to show signs of recovery,” the agent said.

Sales of new homes are likely to climb to 1,800 to 2,000 units in June, the highest since the 2,096 deals in December and considerably higher than the 568 new flat sales in January, when coronavirus cases began to surge, according to forecasts from two different property agencies.

“Hong Kong primary residential market is entering a robust mode,” one of the agencies said.

Home buying sentiment has improved as the number of cases started to taper off and the mass vaccination programme was rolled out in late February. Sales of new homes have stayed above the 1,000 level between February and May.

Pavilia Farm III, due to be completed in June 2023, has 892 units. Developed in three phases, it will have 3,090 units in total.

Prices for the latest batch of flats at Pavilia Farm III start at HK$7.4 million, or HK$18,760 per square foot for a 285 sq ft flat, going up to HK$28.9 million for a 1,022 sq ft unit, after a 20 per cent discount.

New World had sold 833 units at Pavilia Farm III, taking in HK$12.1 billion since the launch of the first round of sales on June 5, said Akan Wong, general manager of sales and marketing at the developer. The company has offered another 46 units for tender whose results will be announced later.

Wong said the firm has sold 2,936 units in the three phases since the project was launched last October, pulled in sales of HK$36 billion.

六财团入标抢中环地王大发展商主导合资角逐减风险

有力挑战本港最贵重地王宝座的中环新海滨地皮、于昨日截标，共截收6份标书，入标财团以本地大型发展商为主，因项目投资金额庞大，不少财团以合组形式减低发展风险。消息人士指，其中九仓置业就伙拍华懋及港铁合作竞逐。

中环商业地王于昨日截标，据地政总署发言人表示，共截收6份标书。是次入标财团以本地大型发展商为主，包括长实、新地、恒基、九仓置业、华懋，信和则伙拍招商局置地及鹰君竞投。

市场人士透露，中环大地主置地集团亦有入标，本报昨日就有关消息向置地查询，该集团回应指，不会对该项目作出评论。

梁志坚：审视时间长做法合理

恒基发言人表示，该集团以独资形式入标竞投；九仓置业表示，集团以财团组合入标，惟现阶段未能公布财团合组资料。华懋集团指出，该集团以合组财团形式竞投，惟现阶段未能公布财团资料。消息人士指，九仓置业就伙拍华懋及港铁入标。

九仓置业系内会德丰地产主席梁志坚表示，该项目反应不俗，对市场具正面作用，发展商之间竞争在所难免，料各大财团「各自计数」出价，该项目最大优点为位处中环海滨区，希望可成功夺地，他亦指，该项目投资金额笼大，并着重审视设计，故项目最迟于今年11月才公布招标结果，亦属合理做法。

九仓伙华懋及港铁入标

是次项目採「双信封」形式招标，除着重出价外，亦要评定其设计方案，两者比重各佔50%，就算标价最高，惟设计未能配合整体规划，都未必可成功投得，消息指，部分发展商已搜罗全世界出名的建筑师为地皮作设计，亦有发展商更邀请多达一家建筑商以上，希望取得最佳方案，以图脱颖而出。

同时，亦因项目审标书时间较长，卖地章程显示地皮最迟可于今年11月12日才公布结果，距离截标时间长达5个月。

邀国际知名建筑商设计

有测量师指出，项目採「双信封」形式招标，料流标机会低，每方呎地价约2.3万至2.5万，市场估值约370亿至400亿。另一测量师称，部分发展商合组形式竞投，以减低发展风险，料每呎地价约3.43万，估值约547亿。

「双信封」招标 同步交设计

中环海滨商业地于昨日截标，该项目採「双信封」形式招标，其设计方案亦为决胜关键，昨日于佐敦永安九龙中心的递交资料现场，录得多家财团递交设计模型。从外型所现，模型摆放在及腰的大型箱子中，面积庞大。

设计方案佔五成比重

中环海滨商业地为市场近期焦点所在，该项目截标形式有别于以往做法，其中，出价金额标书截标地点为金鐘政府总部，惟项目设计模型则设于佐敦永安九龙中心。就本报昨日于现场所见，该项目录至少两组财团递交设计模型，更需要动用6位男士小心翼翼一起运送。

该商业地採「双信封」形式，除着重出价外，亦要评定其设计方案，两者比重各佔50%，故此就算标价最高，惟设计未能配合整体规划，都未必可成功投得。

Hong Kong’s homebuying frenzy reaches down to small flats, as customers snap up Vanke’s Vau Residence in Ho Man Tin

Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong) sold 54 units, or 98 per cent of the 55 flats on offer at the Vau Residence project in Ho Man Tin as of 8pm, agents said

The developer received 530 bids for the offer, or up to nine buyers vying for each available flat, according to a spokesperson

Hong Kong homebuyers returned in droves to snap up new flats in Ho Man Tin on Saturday, showing confidence in the city’s property market amid the improving local coronavirus situation and early signs of economic recovery.

Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong), a unit of China’s third-largest developer China Vanke, sold 54 of the 55 units on offer at its Vau Residence project in Ho Man Tin as of 8pm, agents said, adding that they expect the remaining two units to sell out by the end of the day.

Around 530 bids were received for the units, or up to nine buyers vying for each available flat, according to a spokesperson.

“Homebuyers are showing more confidence in the property market,” property agent said. “The coronavirus situation in the city has improved and we’re seeing more days without any new local infections. We’re also seeing early signs of an economic recovery. As the vaccination rate picks up, there are hopes that the border between mainland China and Hong Kong will reopen soon.”

Prospective homebuyers are also rushing to buy new flats as they are worried that home prices may increase over the coming months, the agent added. There is growing optimism that Hong Kong home prices will climb further this year as the city’s economy shows further signs of recovery.

Earlier this month, US investment bank Goldman Sachs said it expected a 5 per cent rise in home prices this year, while property agent has forecast a 15 per cent increase. Hong Kong’s economy expanded 7.9 per cent in the first three months of the year, the fastest quarterly pace in 11 years, beating economists’ forecasts and bolstering investors’ confidence in the city’s property market.

The first batch of Vau Residence flats on offer consisted of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, ranging from 209 square feet to 388 sq ft (36 square metres) and priced from HK$4.99 million to HK$9.46 million (US$1.22 million), after discounts of up to 16 per cent.

The average price was HK$24,647 per square foot, about 3 per cent more than the flats at Seven Victory Avenue, a two-year-old development within walking distance of Vau Residence. The units at Seven Victory Avenue were selling for HK$23,820 per square foot, according to listings on property agency’s website.

Vanke will also offer a cash reward of HK$28,000 to each of the first 50 Vau Residence buyers who have received their Covid-19 vaccinations before August 31, joining in the campaign among property developers and Hong Kong’s conglomerates to help boost the city’s vaccination rate. Vanke said it expects the cash reward to cost it about HK$1.4 million in total.

The success at Vau Residence followed two successive sell-out weekends at New World Development’s The Pavilia Farm III residential complex in Tai Wai. The developer has sold 2,769 out of a total of 3,090 apartments in the entire project, for a total haul of HK$33.1 billion.

Another 173 units of the latest batch of apartments go on sale on Sunday, for which New World has received 30,500 bids, translating to 176 buyers bidding for every unit.

近半年中区甲厦空置走势渐见平稳，市场更录得数宗瞩目中环甲厦租赁个案。代理资料显示，5月份中环区甲厦空置率约7.35%，按月微升。

据代理资料显示，5月份中环区甲级商厦空置率录得约7.35%，比4月轻微上升0.15个百分点；而中环区商厦空置率自今年1月起走势趋稳，连续第7个月维持于7%水平，反映受疫情影响下，中环区商厦需求稳定，加上部分商厦租务安排更见灵活，业主提供较长免租期及装修优惠，吸引不少企业进驻及续租，减低「去中环化」影响；加上部分金融及营销相关行业及大型品牌企业等仍需要于中环营运据点，因而去中环化的影响相对轻微，亦支撑中环区商厦空置率及租金走势趋稳定。

个别企业 趁租跌进驻

代理表示，近期中环区屡传出瞩目写字楼租赁个案，有国际企业选择于此时重返中环，亦有部分租客搬迁升级办公室都继续选择中环区，反映企业对中环写字楼仍然看高一綫，肯定其质素配套及知名度。全球财经资讯及数据供应商标準普尔，于今年4月由九龙站环球贸易广场 ICC 迁至中环交易广场三座3楼及4楼全层作整合业务，涉及总面积约2.2万平方呎。而中环亦录得不少同区搬迁个案，包括中国人寿富兰克林资产管理原租用中环长江集团中心，新近转租同区交易广场一座中高层全层，面积约1.3万平方呎，市传成交呎租约120元。

该代理续称，中环区作为本港核心商业区中的核心，于区内设立办公室甚有象徵品牌地位概念。惟早年区内写字楼租金不断上升，令部分企业租客把个别部门乔迁至他区以节省营运成本。近半年随着业主在租务安排上更具弹性，「去中环化」趋势有所放缓，中环甲厦空置情况已逐渐平稳，加上近月区内陆续录得瞩目租务成交，反映中环甲厦仍具一定支持度。随着中环区商厦租金有所调整，更是个别企业进驻良机，相信随着疫苗接种及通关事宜有新进展，料中环甲厦租赁会慢慢转活跃，带动空置率稳步走势，甚至见回落。

尖沙咀星光行高层户 4269万放售

尖沙咀星光行高层单位以交吉放售，意向价约4,269万元。

代理表示，尖沙咀梳士巴利道3号星光行高层17至18室，面积约2,189平方呎，现以约4,269万元放售，折合呎价约1.95万元，物业即将于7月交吉。代理称，单位属星光行高层单位之餘，又位处星光行靠近维港海旁的方向，因此享有海景，该单位贴近电梯大堂，质素优越。

该代理续指，单位更会连全写字楼装修出售，买家可即买即用，节省装修成本及时间，不论自用或投资都极其合适。

连写字楼装修 节省成本

该代理续称，由于星光行楼面呈长方形状，而靠近海旁及靠近广东道方向的单位景观不一，因此大厦不同坐向的单位造价有明显差别。资料显示，该厦对上一宗高层海景户买卖成交已要追溯至2017年底，该单位为高层19室，面积约715平方呎，成交呎价约1.86万元；而星光行于2019年高峰期成交呎价曾高达约2.11万元。

全幢物业灵活度高 引财团垂青

投资市场气氛转好，近日市场连录数宗全幢物业交投。事实上，全幢物业灵活度高，可作收租、增值或重建，故引来财团垂青。

整体工商铺投资市场明显转好，大手交投亦有所增加，而全幢物业成财团追捧对象。商厦方面，中环荷李活道C Wisdom Centre全幢商厦4.3亿元易手。物业楼高26层，地下设铺位，地下至4楼每面积约1,200至1,300平方呎，而6至23楼每层面积约957平方呎，属中环迷你商厦，一梯一伙设计。物业总楼面约23,889平方呎，现时出租率百分百，平均呎租约35元，每月租金收入逾80万元。

据了解，早前业主以约4.8亿元放售，终以约4.3亿元易手，减价约1成，呎价约1.8万元，回报率约2.2厘。新买家料为投资者，购入作收租。

上海街商住大厦 约1.83亿易手

除了商厦外，全幢商住物业亦成收购对象。「铺王」邓成波家族持有的油麻地上海街339至345号全幢，以约1.83亿易手，物业1幢9层高商住大厦，地盘面积约2,443平方呎，地下设有4个商铺，总面积约2,040平方呎，1至8楼为住宅，合共提供32伙，总楼面约13,592平方呎，项目每月租金以入约59.1万元。

据了解，业主早前曾放售物业，年初亦获财团以逾2亿元洽购，惟最终未达成协议，如今以1.83亿元沽出。原业主于2016年以1.95亿购入，持货5年帐面蚀让约1,120万。

今年全幢工厦成热门，近日再有成交个案。粉岭安乐门街38号的有成行物流中心全幢，以2.17亿元沽出，总楼面约46,278平方呎，平均呎价约4,689元。原业主为广大食品有限公司，早于2001年以2,000万元买入上址，持货20年，是次转手帐面获利1.97亿元，物业大幅升值近10倍。

有成行办馆有限公司早于1973年创立，主要业务涵盖家居用品、生活必需品、酒精饮品及食品的出入口、零售、批发及分销等。公司代理的产品包括日清食品旗下的合味道、出前一丁等杯面及即食面、红圈牌罐头等。

分析指，随着第四波疫情完结，整体投资气氛即转好，工商铺租售价经过一轮调整后，渐吸引财团入市。全幢物业的优点是灵活度高，既可收租，亦可进行增值，日后转售或进行拆售。此外，全幢工厦既可自用，亦可进行活化及重建。在市场憧憬下半年市况復甦下，全幢物业料续受捧，相信再有全幢大手成交出现。

其中一间负责收购的公司为，乐贤有限公司，公司董事李名扬。资料显示，李名扬早前曾负责收购黄大仙天虹之家旧楼，有指天虹之家背后财团为宏安地产  (01243) 或相关人士，故是次收购鸭脷洲大街旧楼的财团以宏安地产呼声最高。

一向从事旧楼併购的领航集团主席高兆霆指出，鸭脷洲一带旧楼近年成为发展商收购对象，从位置上看，上述鸭脷洲大街两幢旧距离港铁站不远，加上可望全海景，极具重建价值，以楼面呎价计，属于市价水平。

事实上，同区多个重建项目有价有市，例如最新推售中的逸南，至今累售55个单位，最高成交呎价约28,725元。

天价购山顶车位内地隐形富豪曝光17个成交造价冠全球

市况向好下，山顶一个超级豪盘连录天价车位成交，最高造价达一千一百八十八万多元，贵绝全球，而买家身分近日亦逐一曝光，本报连日追踪，至今共有十七个车位註册成交，除获本港富豪选购外，当中逾一半为内地隐形富豪以高价抢夺。地产组记者：李伟航

山顶豪盘MOUNT NICHOLSON，早前发展商九仓及南丰以招标形式推出该豪宅车位，最低标价已由九百万起，发展商指，至今沽出逾三十个车位。而从成交车位价，售价动輒千万元，令市场哗然，买家身分逐步曝光，目前已有十七个车位註册成交，售价由九百万起，最高价为一千一百八十八万八千元，贵绝全球。

最高造价每个达1188.8万

该天价车位由德永佳执行董事潘浩德购入，潘氏共斥约三千五百六十六万四千元，扫入该盘三个车位，每个成交价为一千一百八十八万八千元。除潘浩德外，德永佳前执行副主席潘机泽、大鸿辉主席梁绍鸿，亦纷购入该盘车位，至于已故赌王何鸿燊四太梁安琪，亦表明已购入车位，但其成交却尚未註册。

目前该豪盘已有十七个车位註册成交，除上述本地富豪外，就有多达九个为内地隐形富豪购入，佔总数逾一半。据土地註册处资料，该盘六十二、六十三及六十五号车位，于上月底各以九百一十六万成交，合共斥资逾二千七百四十八万购入，买家为林忠敏 (LIN ZHONGMIN)。

林忠敏为内地发展商颐安集团董事长，并于一八年时，共斥逾十一亿购入该盘十二楼C及D室，面积共八千八百二十一方呎，平均呎价为十三万二千元，曾创亚洲分层户新高纪录，但该纪录目前已被中半山豪盘21 BORRETT ROAD，于今年二月以每呎十三万六千元打破。

其餘内地隐形富豪，包括内地云锋基金创办人及主席虞锋，就斥资逾二千八百五十万，连购该豪盘五十九、六十及六十一号车位，每个车位售价约九百五十万；内地仁东控股董事长霍东，则以九百三十万购入九十二号车位，

颐安林忠敏2748万扫三车位

内地豪客邱明静则以一千零一十一万购入一号车位，而邱氏于楼市亦颇活跃，上月亦斥资共二亿四千万连环购入黄竹坑新盘晋环九伙。至于另一内地豪客倪鹤桐则以九百万购入八号车位。

有测量师表示，由于不少内地富豪须经常往返中港两地，自然需要在本港购置豪宅作自住，而且该山顶豪盘车位供应有限，虽然售价动輒千万元，但因本身经济实力雄厚，而且具自用需要，亦愿意一掷金千购入。

代理指出，山顶豪盘单位售价「亿亿声」，若以比例计，该盘车位造价约千万元，实属合理水平，山顶交通配套远较市区逊色，亦直接推动车位售价「水涨船高」。

One Victoria releases sales brochure

China Overseas Land & Investment (0688) has released the sales brochure for its One Victoria project in Kai Tak.

The flats range in size from 329 square feet to 1,793 sq ft.

Comprising three towers, One Victoria offers 1,059 homes ranging from one- to four-bedroom flats. More than half of the flats are two-bedroom units, 23 percent are one-bedroom while another 23 percent are three-bedroom units. There are only 10 four-bedroom units.

The developer will open a show flat and put out the price list this week with sales expected to open next month. The handover date will be March 31, 2023.

In the secondary market, the Tang Shing-bor family sold a whole floor in Tsun Win Factory Building for HK$48 million in Kwun Tong.

The family had bought the 9,327-sq-ft property for HK$30.6 million.-

In another deal, a 538-sq-ft unit at Manhattan Hill in Lai Chi Kok was sold for HK$11.9 million.

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Property Managers has urged the local firms to introduce more elderly care services to add value.

President Lobo Fung criticized the industry as being too conservative and said it must change to remain competitive, as more and more mainland companies have now entered Hong Kong's to join the property management sector.

BitMEX in talks to rent more space at Hong Kong’s costliest offices as it goes on hiring spree in cryptocurrency boom

Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX is seeking more talent and expanding its pricey office space at Cheung Kong Center in Central, sources say

Expansion comes as Hong Kong tightens licensing regime and oversight on cryptocurrency exchanges amid rising fraud and cyber crimes

BitMEX, which operates a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange out of the priciest office tower in Hong Kong, is embarking on a hiring spree and expanding its floor space in a show of confidence in the city, even as the industry faces heightened regulatory scrutiny.

The company, which claims to handle US$1.7 billion of transactions per day, is exploring the option of leasing additional space equivalent to half a floor, at Cheung Kong Center from CK Asset Holdings, according to several people familiar with the matter. The three-year lease of BitMEX’s 20,000 square feet (1,858 square metres) of space on the 45th floor of the tower, costing about US$600,000 per month, expires later this year, they said.

“We have plans to grow from a crypto-derivatives exchange platform by expanding our business lines to include spot, brokerage, custody, and other capabilities in certain markets in the future,” a spokesman of 100X Group, the ultimate owner of BitMEX, said in an email reply to the Post, declining to comment specifically about its real estate plan. CK Asset declined to comment.

The company is hiring engineers, a head of financial crime compliance, derivative structurers and other supporting roles in Hong Kong, according to its website. Its operations in Central supports BitMEX’s information technology and other back-office functions such as human resources, compliance and finance.

Its expansion comes at a time when Hong Kong is tightening its scrutiny to stem money laundering terrorism financing, and protect investors from risky investment products. BitMEX ranked as the world’s top crypto exchange after its launch in 2014, creating a buzz with up to 100-times leverage for perpetual bitcoin/US dollar contracts.

The Hong Kong government hopes to introduce an amendment bill during its 2021/22 legislative session, requiring all exchange operators to be licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). Non-compliant and unlicensed activities will attract jail terms and fines, according to its proposal.

The price of bitcoin has surged by almost 600-fold in the past 12 months to a record US$63,410 on April 15 before retracing by 48 per cent, changing hands at about US$33,000 in recent trading.

With about a dozen crypto exchanges operating offices in the financial hub, the local government is keen to foster innovation in digital assets, which has grown in size to US$1.8 trillion. Still, increasing reports of cybercrime, fraud coupled with a renewed zeal by mainland China’s government to crack down on cryptocurrencies has given the industry cause for caution.

Gatecoin, among the first batch of exchanges, fell into liquidation in 2019. OKEX suspended withdrawals by customers in October after its founder Xu Mingxing, who reportedly held the private keys to clients’ assets, failed to show up for work.

The spokesman of the 100x Group said it is “considering what licensing opportunities are available to us in various jurisdictions and closely monitoring developments in regulation.”

HDR Global, a member of the group and the parent of BitMEX, is registered in the Republic of Seychelles as an “international business company” and not a licensed entity subject to supervision. HDR Global’s website warns investors that the BitMEX platform is not available to users in Hong Kong.

“International business companies” that are engaged in cryptocurrency activities “are not licensed or authorised to conduct such activities in the Seychelles or anywhere else in the world,” Zenabe Daman, deputy chief executive of the island country’s Financial Services Authority, said in an email to the Post.

Seychelles is working on a legal framework that would require these companies that are engaged in virtual assets to apply for virtual assets service providers licensing or registration, Daman said. It expects to pass a law on this by year end, she added.

九龙区甲厦呎租叫价较具竞争力，个别企业进驻。据代理统计，5月份九龙区整体甲级商厦空置率录得约12.61%，比4月份减少0.49个百分点，而相比去年同期则见轻微反弹，按年递增1.12个百分点。

观塘空置率 跌1.44百分点

统计4区空置情况，在尖沙咀、旺角、九龙湾及观塘中，以观塘表现最突出，最新甲厦空置率为12.83%，比上月下跌1.44个百分点。

代理表示，观塘甲厦供应充足令空置率长期维持于双位数字水平，但租金比尖沙咀及旺角一带商厦相对相宜，且个别业主叫价有所下调，因此近期亦吸引不少租客首选进驻。如观塘万兆丰中心高层D室，面积约1,915平方呎，新近以呎租约24元租出，对比旧呎租约33元，减低约27%。

至于比邻的九龙湾表现则较平稳，5月份区内甲厦空置率录得约21.13%，按月微升0.02个百分点。而旺角甲厦空置情况也有不俗改善，由4月约9.05%，回落至最新约7.98%，跌幅约1.07个百分点。

观塘陆续变天 旧楼重建前景看俏

万科香港购定富街旧楼9成业权 涉逾5亿

随着多个大型重建项目落成，加上政府有意将东九龙一带发展成为第二个核心商业区，观塘陆续变天，区内旧楼重建价值备受看好，市场消息指万科香港正收购牛头角定富街3幢旧楼逾9成业权，涉资逾5亿元。

据了解，牛头角定富街45至63号共3幢6层高的旧楼，楼龄约49至50年，共提供50个住宅单位及10个铺位，住宅单位主要为400平方呎以下中小型单位，二手买卖并不活跃。

市场消息透露，有财团对该批旧楼进行收购，目前已集齐逾9成业权。土地註册处资料显，上述旧楼日前录得2宗铺位买卖登记，成交价均为1,700万元，其中定胜楼地下3号铺，原业主2015年以225万元购入，刚以1,700万售出，6年间劲升近7倍。

新买家为119 Limited，该公司董事为马伟业、CHOI TAK SHING，前者今年2月透过逸发投资有限公司名义，为万科香港併购深水埗海坛街旧楼地盘，相信是次出手收购的背后财团为万科香港。

可建楼面约6.8万呎

市场消息透露，发展商已收购大部分住宅单位，每伙收购价介乎580万至630万元，实用呎价约1.6万元，直逼丽港城、德福花园等大型屋苑呎价水平。

不过，资料显示，上述3幅旧楼地盘面积共7,595平方呎，以重建地积比9倍计，可建楼面约68,355平方呎，估计总收购金额逾5亿元计，楼面呎价有机会低于8,000元，算是吸引价。

事实上，上述旧楼距离牛头角站不远，多年来一直有发展商低调进行收购。土地註册处资显示，一家本地大型发展商早于10年前，便透过百辉创富有限公司名义，成功购入多个单位，接近2成业权，惟收购进度缓慢，最终由万科香港成功收购。

领航集团主席高兆霆指出，市区大面积地盘极为罕有，故发展商对观塘区睇高一綫，而地盘可重建楼高65米，而且面向全海景，可远望中上环一带及红磡海景。另外，发展商睇好将来租金有上升空间，因为对面是观塘工商区，将来租盘绝对没有压力。

以往利眾街一带工业区转型比较慢，但近年在活化工厦政策推动之下，以豁免2成楼面作为诱引，吸引发展商进驻收购，加快了区内转型步伐，连同早前获批出的工厦活化项目，区内4个发展项目，合共提供约47.3万平方呎楼面。

德昌广场重建 增6成楼面

当中，中小型发展商兴胜创建，在去年先后以合共近17亿元购入区内德昌广场以及美利仓大厦，并陆续申请进行重建。

其中规模比较大为利眾街14至16号德昌广场，兴胜创建伙拍南丰以约9.48亿元购入并合作发展，将原本的11层高工厦，总楼面面积约9.6万平方呎，申请放宽地积比率由12倍增加20%至14.4倍，以地盘面积约10,515平方呎计算，可重建1幢28层高，非污染工业用途，即新式工厦，总楼面约15.14平万方呎，较现有楼面多出58%。

另外，一幢位于利眾街18号的美利仓大厦，佔地约6,685平方呎，目前为16层高工厦，于1980年落成，楼龄接近40年，原本于2015年由迷你仓集团以约3.95亿元购入作营运，总楼面6.8万平方呎。该厦同样在去年由兴胜创建以约7.35亿元购入，在4年间楼价升86%，并且提出申请放宽地积比率至14.4倍重建，拟兴建1幢26层高的新式工厦，作为非污染工业用途，可建楼面约9.6万平方呎，相较原有楼面6.8万平方呎，增加4成多楼面。

Coronavirus Hong Kong: luxury property awaits Shenzhen border opening for the next leap upwards

Property buyers from mainland China bought 38 per cent of Hong Kong’s luxury homes – each more than HK$100 million – in the first four months.

At two of Hong Kong’s most exclusive addresses, 21 Borrett Road and Mount Nicholson, “new Hongkongers” already make up more than half the owners.

An influx of mainland Chinese buyers into Hong Kong’s super-deluxe developments since early this year could further fuel home prices in the world’s most expensive property market, and the trend will become more obvious once the border open.

Buyers who settled in Hong Kong from mainland China, dubbed “new Hongkongers” unlike locally born residents, have already made their presence felt in the local real estate market. They bought 38 per cent of Hong Kong’s luxury homes – each priced more than HK$100 million (US$13 million) – in the first four months, 2 percentage points more than the whole of 2020, and more than 32.9 per cent in 2019, according to data provided by property agency.

“When the border reopens, we expect mainland Chinese to [return] to snap up residential property,” agent said.

Individual and corporate real estate investors from the mainland had been the lifeblood that had sustained the eye-popping prices of Hong Kong’s property industry in the past decade, from multimillion dollar mansions to some of the world’s most expensive offices in marquee addresses in Central. Their presence in the city, muted since the street protests of 2019, could resume when Hong Kong’s northern border with Shenzhen reopens with the easing of the coronavirus outbreak, allowing business travellers, tourists and investors to return.

New Hongkongers already make up 60 per cent of the owners in two of the city’s most exclusive residential neighbourhoods: CK Asset Holdings’ 21 Borrett Road luxury apartments at the Mid-Levels, as well as Mount Nicholson on The Peak by Wharf Holdings and Nan Fung Development, according to land title searches conducted by South China Morning Post.

Mainland Chinese buyers snapped up four of eight apartments at 21 Borrett Road since February, paying a total of HK$1.3 billion for them, including a buyer named Yin Xi who paid HK$459.4 million for a five-bedroom unit that broke Asia’s price record.

At Mount Nicholson, two daughters of the late casino tycoon Stanley Ho, now find 58 per cent of their neighbours being new Hongkongers. Buyers featuring pinyin names, the romanisation system used in mainland China, bought nine houses and 22 apartments out of the project’s 15 mansions and 38 units for a combined HK$14 billion since their launch in late 2016.

Several of these buyers had also set new price benchmarks. Before Yin’s purchase, the record for the most expensive home was set by Lin Zhongming, chairman of Shenzhen developer AIM Investment Group. Lin liked the project so much that he paid HK$1.16 billion for two adjoining apartments at Mount Nicholson in 2017, paying HK$132,060 per square foot, or HK$560.02 million, for unit 12C and another HK$604.7 million for unit 12D.

“Some of the rich mainland Chinese businessman share one thought: to send their money out of China to park in a safe place,” said Kevin Tsui, an associate professor at the Clemson University’s College of Business in South Carolina, adding that the influx of mainland capital would cause prices to soar in Hong Kong. “That explains why they are willing to pay for a big premium, or even higher taxes, than local residents for property in Hong Kong and overseas.”

China’s government had also been mounting a series of campaigns across the country to tamp down on runaway property prices, which had added to the push for tycoons to diversify their holdings abroad, he said.

“It is likely encouraging individuals whose wealth quickly accumulated after they float their firms in Hong Kong or in the mainland stock market to seek other investment alternatives. Hong Kong property market is one of their favourite options,” he said.

Payments of the buyers’ stamp duty (BSD), a 15 per cent surcharge on the price of property sold to non-permanent residents with less than seven years in Hong Kong, soared last month to HK$913 million, a 23 per cent jump from April, while the number of transactions jumped 84 per cent to 114, according to data provided by the Inland Revenue Department.

“We also noticed a growing number of mainlanders who become Hong Kong permanent residents making property purchases,” agent said.

Hong Kong’s retail landlords consider increasing rent for the first time in two years amid ongoing economic recovery

Retail landlords have started engaging tenants in discussions on rent increases for the upcoming lease renewals, say market observers

Tenants however say that landlords must hold back on the rent increases as they were yet to recover fully from the slowdown

With Hong Kong’s economic recovery gathering pace and domestic consumption improving, retail landlords have started mulling rent increases for the first time since the correction started two years ago in the wake of the social unrest.

While landlords of shopping centres and street shops seem optimistic and expect retailers to receive a boost from mainland tourists following the eventual opening of cross-border travel, tenants, however, remain cautious, with many saying that business is yet to recover from levels before the protests started in mid-2019.

Market observers, however, expect only a nominal increase in rent, noting that a stop to rent concessions by landlords is a good indication rents may be on the way up.

Retail landlords have started engaging tenants in discussions on rent increases for the upcoming lease renewals since Lunar New Year, property agent said. “These new or renewed leases might see a freeze for the first year, followed by a mild increase of around 5 to 10 per cent for the second and third years” amid a predicted recovery for the city’s economy and revival in cross-border tourism, the agent said.

Hong Kong’s economy expanded by 7.9 per cent in the first three months of the year, the biggest quarterly growth in 11 years which also ended six quarters of recession. Given the economy continues to recover from the pandemic, the government expects full-year growth to be at the upper end of the forecast of between 3.5 per cent and 5.5 per cent. Hong Kong’s retail sales have also continued to recover, with retail sales in the first four months of 2021 estimated to have grown 8.5 per cent compared to the same period last year.

Some landlords think that the worst is over, another agent said.
