油塘工业区重整 拟建商住酒店

过往油塘吸引发展商插旗发展住宅，令该区由原先的工业区加快转型为新晋住宅区，粗略估计区内目前有约8个重建项目将于未来数年落成，涉逾1万伙，当中以规划多年的油塘湾项目规模最大，涉约6,556伙。

油塘区现有共约8个重建项目，共涉约11,044伙，其中以油塘湾综合重建项目的规模最大，项目位于港铁油塘站对出，并位于临海位置，在逾20年前由恒地  (00012)、九龙仓 (00004) 及新世界 (00017) 等发展商牵头与区内船厂等业主合作展开重建。项目早于2015年已经获城规会批准发展28幢住宅、4幢酒店、政府、机构或社区设施等，共提供6,556伙住宅及889间酒店。

油塘湾为降风险 拟分期发展

值得一提的是，其中由保利达柯为湘家族旗下香港制冰及冷藏有限公司持有的油塘冰厂，按原本油塘湾规划为酒店发展，但该冰厂近年提出申请转作住宅发展，拟重建1幢32层高 (另设2层地库) 的住宅，提供约522伙，重建方案亦已在2023年底获城规会批准，成为区内新一个批准项目。换言之，前述整个油塘湾项目获批方案的住宅数目增至7,078伙，酒店数目亦会减少156间至733间。

不过，财团多年来未能与政府就其补地价金额取得共识，今年初有消息透露，涉事发展商拟为项目「斩件」分4期发展，并逐期向政府申请补地价，以解决补地价问题及降低发展风险。

华东货仓转商住 料2032年落成

而位于东源街一带的工业区亦有部分重建项目，包括华润置地收购的华东货仓项目。项目于今年初向城规会申请放宽密度重建1幢28层高商住大厦，其住用地积比率将由最高5倍增至6倍，建筑物高限亦由80米 (主水平基準上，下同) 增至100米，以重建1幢28层高商住大厦，总楼面近18万平方呎，提供约342伙住宅，料于2032年落成。据了解，该项目于2017年由华润以约4亿元购入逾4成业权，其后发展商逐步收购剩餘业权，现时料已统一其业权。

已在区内持有曦臺的宏安地产 (01243)，亦于2023年中完成油塘工业大厦第4座的收购，并且在去年引入其士 (00025) 合资发展。项目于去年初获批重建成2幢住宅大楼，提供676伙住宅，以及商场、停车场及政府设施等。

另外，越秀地产 (00123) 旗下东源街越秀冷藏仓库及相邻用地近年亦已与政府达成补地价协议，涉及金额约13.5亿元，每呎楼面地价仅2,040元，创同区「工转住」补地价逾10年新低价。项目将重建为5幢住宅大楼，提供约1,393伙住宅，总楼面约66万平方呎。

区内今年暂录4工厦成交

油塘区的工厦买卖气氛不算活跃，今年至今该区仅录约4宗工厦成交，涉资约380万至约2,000万元不等，成交分布于华辉工业大厦、油塘工业城及华顺工业大厦。

4月工厦买卖 近25个月高位

据EPRC经济地产资料库指，涉及金额最贵的成交位于华顺工业大厦，该厦3楼H室于今年2月以约2,000万元卖出，较2005年原业主买入价约293.2万元，大幅升值近6倍。

不过，据主要代理行最新数据，4月工商铺及工厦买卖均创新高。有代理指，4月全港共录得462宗工商铺物业买卖登记，较3月约383宗再升20.6%，连升2个月，并创下近25个月新高，而月内登记总值录约47.2亿元，按月微跌5.1%。

工业、商业及商铺的三大范畴物业登记全綫上升，当中以商厦近3成的升幅最劲，工厦及商铺亦分别上升19.8%及13%。同时，4月工厦买卖登记达266宗，较3月的222宗再升19.8%，亦为近25个月最多，反映工厦市场持续反弹。月内工厦登记佔比达57.6%，按月微跌0.4个百分点，而登记总值录得21.10亿元，按月大增36.2%。

Hong Kong’s real estate market cooled in May, with deals slumping to 3-month low

Transactions fall 11 per cent from a month earlier to 6,442, while value eases 0.5 per cent to US$6.3 billion, according to Land Registry

Property deals in Hong Kong fell to a three-month low in May as caution prevailed amid heightened US-China tensions and stock market volatility, while distressed commercial real estate owners continued to offload assets at heavily discounted prices.

Transactions for new and lived-in homes, offices, shops, car parking slots and industrial units dropped 11 per cent month on month to 6,442, the lowest tally since February, according to data from the Land Registry. The value of the deals dropped 0.5 per cent from a month earlier to HK$49.8 billion (US$6.3 billion).

Last month’s biggest deal was Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing’s HK$6.3 billion purchase of office and retail space in One Exchange Square and other related assets in Central from Hongkong Land, according to a property agency.

Meanwhile, commercial property owners continued to sell assets at a loss, with the decline in the Hong Kong interbank offered rate (Hibor) attracting investors.

Edwin Lee, the founder of Bridgeway Prime Shop Fund Management, said on Monday that his fund had sold 10 street-level shops in the last three months at losses ranging from 12.8 per cent to 43.5 per cent.

The first Securities and Futures Commission-licensed fund manager focused exclusively on shops and retail property incurred a loss of 25 per cent on its investment of HK$207.5 million.

“Due to the recent tightening of bank credit and the need to maintain the liquidity of the fund, we have had to sell at a loss to realise cash,” Lee said.

The value of street shops had fallen by 40 per cent from pre-pandemic levels, Lee said, adding that the fund planned to sell assets worth nearly HK$300 million this year.

“[As] Hibor has fallen sharply, the retail property market is more active and there are also more mainland investors entering the market,” he added.

Interest rates in Hong Kong, which follow US policy moves, reached their highest levels since 2007 before the Federal Reserve began cutting rates last September. Rising rates had put many borrowers in distress.

The one-month Hibor, which is tied to most new mortgage loans, on May 20 fell below 1 per cent for the first time since July 2022. The rate dipped further to 0.8742 per cent on Tuesday, according to data from the Hong Kong Association of Banks.

Overall residential transactions fell 10.3 per cent from a month earlier to 5,105 in May, the Land Registry data showed. Despite the drop, volumes have exceeded 5,000 units for three consecutive months for the first time since late 2021, according to a property agent.

“Given the current market conditions, we anticipate this trend to continue, indicating a steady recovery in transaction volumes,” the agent said, adding that this suggested buyers were gaining confidence in Hong Kong’s residential market.

“As transaction volumes rebound, we expect inventory levels to peak soon, allowing for a potential easing of inventory by next year,” the agent said.

Primary housing deals rose 4 per cent to 1,665 units and value rose 7 per cent to HK$14.73 billion in May from a month earlier, according to the property agency. The increase was driven mostly by the sales of flats in Sun Hung Kai Properties’ Sierra Sea project.

On the secondary housing market, transactions dropped 15 per cent to 3,244 units and value fell 20 per cent to HK$23.77 billion.

Real estate deals could rise to 7,000 in June if interest rates on the mainland fall further, Hibor declines and a US-China agreement was reached, according to the agency.

The property agency also expected overall transactions in the first half of the year to rise by more than 10 per cent from a year earlier to about 36,500, the most since 45,797 in the second half of 2021.

DBS Bank (Hong Kong) said it expected home prices to fall 5 per cent this year due to a considerable volume of unsold inventory.

“Government policy plays an important role in dictating the outlook for the residential [segment],” said Jeff Yau, the bank’s executive director and Hong Kong property analyst for group research.
