息口当未见顶，工商铺物业成交急挫，有本港代理行表示，今年逾亿元大手买卖暂仅49宗，按年回落43%，成交总额近300亿元。其中近40%资金来自中资，金额比去年增加逾40%，趁机吸纳优质物业，可见「北水」支撑大市。

近4成资金属中资

该行数据显示，截至今年8月中为止，逾亿元大手买卖暂录49宗，比去年同期减少43%，金额299.1亿元，比去年同期减少20.3%。当中，「北水」今年以来净买入达118.3亿元，比去年同期增加约42.1%，外资买入涉资约65.8亿元，按年下跌21.9%。

金额299亿按年减20%

该行认为，高息环境下借贷成本高企，整体大手成交减少，投资者及企业保持审慎态度，预测今年全年亿元成交只有约75宗，涉资约430亿元。不过，内地利率下调，相信将会令「北水」佔本港投资市场相当的比重。

料北水继续流入市场

该行代理补充，内地于今年实施较宽鬆的货币政策，以刺激经济，内地利率的下调，或促使投资者及存户重新配置其资金至一些可提供较高回报率的地方如香港，「北水」有望重新流入本港，相信中资佔本港投资市场的比重将会回升。

THE AUSTINE PLACE铺 2.2亿放售减价3成

通关后零售復甦不似预期，工商铺业主面对现实减价，其中兴胜创建 (00896) 持有的佐敦官涌街 THE AUSTINE PLACE 基座地铺以2.2亿元放售，相较3月份大幅劈价1亿元或逾3成。

涉地下及1楼12270呎 同时放租

据一名本港代理表示，官涌街38号 THE AUSTINE PLACE 地下及1楼放租售，单位建筑面积12,270平方呎，其中地下面积约4,880平方呎。业主意向售价2.2亿元，呎价约1.8万元，意向租金为75万元，呎租约61元。

据资料显示，兴胜创建曾经在今年3月以3.2亿元放售上述铺位，相隔半年时间，大幅劈价1亿元或31%。

陈圣泽家族 1.8亿放工厦铺位

另外，恒和珠宝集团创办人陈圣泽家族持有的一批工厦及楼上铺放售，估计合共市值近1.8亿元。一间外资代理行指，呎价略低于市价。

当中有线电视大厦30楼一篮子物业，总面积约2.1万平方呎，可个别单位独立洽购，意向呎价约4,300至4,500元。若果以最高呎价4,500元计算，即整批单位最高意向价约9,400多万元。

至于另一批的楼上铺位于豪景商业大厦1至3楼，合共面积约6,858平方呎，意向呎价约1万至1.2万元，以最高呎价1.2万元计算，即意向价最多约8,230万元。原业主陈圣泽在2018年以1.06亿元购入该批楼上铺，单是现时叫价已经帐面蚀逾2成或约2,370万元。

Typhoon hurts home deals

Secondary market transactions remained subdued over the weekend as Typhoon Saola battered Hong Kong.

A property agency reported just three transactions in 10 major housing estates over the weekend, mirroring the previous weekend's figures and extending its streak of 18 consecutive weeks with single-digit transactions.

The real estate agency stated that due to Typhoon Saola, most of the scheduled property viewings for the weekend were canceled. Even though the typhoon gradually moved away on Saturday afternoon, citizens were occupied with post-typhoon activities.

Furthermore, given the current lack of positive news in the real estate market, potential buyers remained hesitant to enter the market. Consequently, only properties with lower price points saw any notable activity.

Another property agency also recorded only three deals in the 10 major housing estates over the weekend, one less compared to the previous weekend. It also marked the 18th consecutive weekend with single-digit deals for the real estate company.

In Tin Shui Wai, the owners of a 546-square-foot three-bedroom flat at Kingswood Villas sold the flat at HK$4.2 million, a price usually reserved for a two-bedroom home in the area.

The owners were adamant about selling the apartment prior to the typhoon's arrival, consequently reducing the asking price three times within the week from HK$4.7 million. This resulted in a loss of HK$980,000 compared to the original purchase price of HK$5.18 million in 2018.

英皇珠宝50万租海防道铺 高疫市8成

高峰期租金曾见230万 尖沙咀吉铺渐减

近期珠宝店加快于尖沙咀核心一綫段扩充，信置 (00083) 旗下海防道地下铺位，面积2,000平方呎，以近50万元租出，较3年前疫情租金升8成。新租客为英皇鐘錶珠宝 (00887)，料作珠宝销售。

市场消息指出，尖沙咀海防道51及52号地下A、B、C1、C2及D号铺，面积约2,060平方呎，以每月约50万元租出，呎租约242元。该铺位处海防道及乐道交界，铺位门面阔，加上附近人流旺，为当地段优质铺位。该铺由信置持有，楼上为集团旗下服务式住宅 The Camphora。

消息指，新租客为英皇鐘錶珠宝，而是次租用铺位，料主力作珠宝销售。事实上，早在去年通关前，集团亦租用旺角弥敦道好望角大厦地下B铺，如今通关半年多，旅客重临，集团即重啟扩充计划。

翻查资料，该铺十多年来数度更换租客，2010年前专营手袋买卖的米兰站曾以100万元租用该铺，其后零售高峰期，太子珠宝鐘錶以高达230万元抢租铺位，呎租逾千元。

通关后 尖沙咀租务加快

数年前，零售开始回落，莎莎化粧品以每月约80万元承租铺位，其后遇上疫情，租客迁出，铺位亦交吉一段时间。2020年尾，米兰站趁铺租大跌，以每月28.3万租用铺位3年。按目前最新铺租计算，较旧租升近8成，惟与高峰期相比，仍下跌约8成。

通关后尖沙咀商铺租务加快，特别近一个多月，尖沙咀两大核心地段广东道及海防道连录租务，当中涉及金行、鐘錶珠宝重新扩充。如广东道新港中心地下至2楼，以每月约200万元租出，面积合共约10,140平方呎，呎租约200元，新租客为内地金行「老铺黄金」，该品牌主力打造高级黄金及珠宝，于尖沙咀海港城设分店，如今趁租金回调，于新港中心大手租多层铺作旗舰店之用。

另外，大鸿辉旗下海防道46号铺位，面积约1,000平方呎，以约40万元租出，新租客为内地鐘錶店。此外，尖沙咀弥敦道美丽都大厦地下G12号连1、2楼11号铺，面积约1,650平方呎，以每月约30万元租出，新租客为福泰珠宝。

事实上，经过多宗租务落实后，广东道、海防道及弥敦道3大核心地段，吉铺明显减少。

Hong Kong’s empty retail space falls to 3-year low, though sector recovery is hobbled as more tourists leave than enter

Retailers have been opening new shops and expanding, bringing the city’s empty commercial space down to 9 per cent in the second quarter

‘Travel outflow of locals is greater than the inflow of tourists, which could diminish local consumption power,’ property agent said

Retailers have been opening new shops and expanding in Hong Kong, bringing the city’s empty commercial space to a three-year low of 9 per cent in the second quarter, according to the latest report by an international property agency.

However, the recovery of the sector after three disastrous years of sales diminished by the Covid-19 pandemic faces a challenge: while the number of visitors – particularly mainland Chinese – to Hong Kong has been increasing, more Hongkongers have been travelling outside the city, shifting their purchasing power elsewhere, the property agency said.

“We have seen that following the border reopening, the travel outflow of locals is greater than the inflow of tourists to Hong Kong, which could diminish some local consumption power,” an agent said.

“As a result, the retail market during the long holidays such as Labour Day and the Buddha’s Birthday holiday periods was not as active as the market has hoped-for.”

A V-shaped recovery or a sharp upswing in the retail property market is unlikely, the report said.

The retail segment was one of the hardest hit in Hong Kong after the unprecedented social unrest of 2019 was immediately followed by the coronavirus pandemic.

The anti-government protests four years ago, which at times turned violent, had put mainland Chinese visitors off coming to Hong Kong. When the pandemic came along, forcing the closure of borders, tourists all but vanished from the city.

During boom times, mainland visitors were a major driver of tourism in Hong Kong.

Many of them came for the shopping, often returning home laden with luxury goods.

In 2018, before the unrest took hold, Chinese tourists in the city grew 14.8 per cent to 51 million, driving total visitor arrivals to a record 65.1 million, according to government data. Retail sales that year rose 8.8 per cent to HK$485.2 billion (US$61.85 billion).

In the first half of this year, retail sales rose 20.7 per cent, but they remain 15 per cent lower than the equivalent period of 2019, before the protests began, according to another property agency in a separate report. The improvement was largely thanks to the 12.9 million visitors that came to the city in that period, a massive increase from 76,000 a year earlier. Almost 80 per cent of the visitors were mainland Chinese.

Still, the number of tourists was a long way shy of the 34.8 million who came in the first half of 2019.

Almost 29 million Hong Kong residents, meanwhile, headed abroad for holidays in the period.

“As leisure travel shows no sign of waning, the widening inbound-outbound gap may impede the retail market recovery in the remainder of the year,” another agency said in a separate report, published on August 29.

Despite the somewhat clouded outlook for the retail sector, some notable transactions were recorded in the first seven months of 2023.

French luxury fashion house Chanel leased 18,000 square feet of space at Jardine’s Bazaar in Causeway Bay. In Central, The Macallan, a Scottish whisky brand, opened its first global flagship store on the second and third floors of the Hing Wai Building, occupying 8,519 square feet and paying a reported monthly rent of about HK$600,000.

The agency said a pharmacy had recently taken an 818 square-foot ground floor unit at 45 Haiphong Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. It leased the space for HK$300,000 per month, an increase of nearly 70 per cent in rent compared to the previous contract.

祥祺陈红天山顶傲璇 银主4.2亿沽

成交价低估值近4成 呎价约8.1万

优质豪宅银主盘获垂青，内地祥祺集团陈红天山顶傲璇自用单位，早前沦为银主盘。消息称，单位新近以4.2亿元成交，呎价约8.1万元，低估值近4成。

较早前，银主委託测量师行，标售山顶司徒拔道53号傲璇 (OPUS HONG KONG) 5楼单位连同两个车位。物业将按现状并以非交吉形式出售，并于上月初截标。市场人士透露，项目最终以约4.2亿元成交。

物业实用面积约为5,154平方呎，属5房4套间隔，按4.2亿元成交价计，呎价约8.1万元。据悉，是次属发展商2012年一手推出并沽清后，项目首度录二手成交。

翻查资料，傲璇由太古地产发展，设有12个单位，面积为4,819至5,444平方呎，并于2012年正式推售，其中一伙呎价高见9.6万元。2015年项目最后一伙以5.096亿元售出，呎价93,608元，整项目共套现逾50亿元。祥祺集团陈红天2015年以3.87亿元，向太古地产 (01972) 购入该单位，以单位实用面积5,154平方呎计算，成交实用呎价75,087元。若按购入价计，物业8年升值8.5%。

据了解，陈红天购入单位后自住，而直至本年初，不少内房人士陷财困，而陈红天旗下物业，先后被接管。上述傲璇进行招标时，物业估值为6.8亿元，若按现时成交价计，低市值约38%。

歌赋山道15号超豪宅 正放售

除了傲璇单位外，陈红天持有山顶超级豪宅歌赋山道15号，同样早前沦为银主盘，银主继较早前委託代理出售。按早前上载项目楼书，洋房实用面积18,078平方呎，採6房连套房加书房及家庭客房设计，另连花园、天台、室内亦备有升降机通往各层。该洋房由陈红天于2016年以21亿元购入，当时成交呎价22.8万元，一度创亚洲洋房呎租新高。

另一项贵重物业，为红磡祥祺中心全幢商厦，物业总楼面面积合共约28万平方呎，现为永明金融香港总部，陈红天于2016年向会德丰地产，以约45亿元购入 One Harbour Gate 东座作总部，并易名为祥祺中心。

Tycoon Chen Hongtian’s seized US$86.7 million Frank Gehry-designed Hong Kong flat sells at 38% discount

Chen bought the 5,154 sq ft flat in the Frank Gehry-designed Opus Hong Kong development for HK$387 million (US$49 million) in 2015

The property was one of three assets seized by creditors earlier this year amid what Chen’s company termed a ‘short-term cash flow disruption’

Receivers for a HK$680 million (US$86.7 million) Mid-Levels flat have sold the property – seized from Chinese tycoon Chen Hongtian for unpaid loans – at a steep discount to the market price.

The 5,154 sq ft flat in Opus Hong Kong, sold at around HK$420 million, 38 per cent below its market valuation, according to sources familiar with the transaction. Details on the buyer have not been disclosed.

Chen and his wife, Chen Yao Li Ni, bought the fifth-floor flat at 53 Stubbs Road for HK$387 million in September 2015, according to official records. In February, the flat was seized by Bank of Communi­cations, which extended a mortgage in August 2019.

The property was one of at least three assets seized by lenders in Hong Kong as of late March from Chen, whose Cheung Kei Group owns offices, hotels and finance firms.

The receivers put the flat up for sale by tender in May, and the tender closed on August 8, according to Savills, which had been appointed the sole agent for the deal.

Chen did not respond to a request for comment.

The three seized properties – the Opus flat, a 9,212 sq ft house at 15 Gough Hill Road on The Peak and One HarbourGate East Tower – were mortgaged with banks for about HK$6 billion, but are valued at about HK$10 billion, according to Chen.

In an interview with the Post in June 2016, Chen said he bought 15 Gough Hill Road for a then record price of HK$2.1 billion because the Opus flat was “too tiny”.

Chen’s company blamed the seizures on “ short-term cash-flow disruption” and said in May that it would offload equity in some overseas assets to overcome the cash crunch.

The One HarbourGate tower and the 15 Gough Hill Road home, have also been put on the market for tender sale by receivers, according to an international property agency.

Developed by Swire Properties on a site long possessed by the company as a home for its executives, the Opus project is acclaimed architect Frank Gehry’s only residential project in Asia. The building twists to give each of its 12 flats a unique floor plan, and is only a nine-minute drive away from the Central business district.

The flat Chen owned, which occupies the entire fifth floor, has five bedrooms, including four with their own bathrooms, a study, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen. It has an open-plan design and a ceiling height of more than four metres, according to the agency.

环球经济前景仍有忧虑，有外资代理行认为，企业仍非常审慎，不少选择搬迁至非核心区，以节省开支。

该行每月商厦租金走势报告指，各区甲厦租金稳定，中环超甲厦呎租现报119.5元，按月跌0.4%，整体中环甲厦呎租跌0.6%。至于其他多区包括金鐘、上环、鰂鱼涌等，升跌幅不足1%。

家乐福搬至港岛东

租务成交方面，消息指，鰂鱼涌英皇道633号商厦录租务，涉及物业28楼全层，以及26楼A室，面积约1.5万平方呎，以每平方呎约25元租出。据悉，新租客为国际连锁超市家乐福，料作内地市场业务之用。该集团目前办公室位于九龙湾一号九龙，估计呎租同约20餘元，估计是次搬迁，有见港岛东租金下跌，故提升级数至港岛区。英皇道633号位于区内主要商业地段，附近亦有全新及翻新的甲厦项目，据了解，目前物业仍有数层楼面待租。

至于东九龙方面，大手租务较多，包括观塘全新甲厦 The Millennity 1座27至29楼，合共3层楼面约4.5万平方呎，获日资机构FUJIFILM租用。该集团目前租用太古湾道12号 (前称太古城中心四座) 商厦，是次新租 The Millennity 3层料作搬迁，既可节省租金开支，亦提升办公室级数。

另外，东九龙不乏扩充个案，如九龙湾德福广场恒生中心录得租务成交，涉及物业中层2层，每层面积约2.6万平方呎，合共约5.2万平方呎租出，据估计，平均呎租约25元。新租客为港铁，而该集团总部亦设于该项目，即德福广场港铁总部大楼，相信是次租用2层恒生中心作扩充。

该行料九龙租金 年尾见底回升

该行指，在过去一个月，企业节省成本的趋势更明显，当中包括缩减写字楼的规模或搬迁到非核心区。与此同时，企业依然重视写字楼的质素。一些对成本敏感度较低的租户利用租金低迷的机会，以相近的预算进行写字楼升级。大部分写字楼租赁交易涉及约3,000至4,000平方呎的中小型写字楼。该行料，在实惠的租金支持下，湾仔、铜锣湾和鰂鱼涌的写字楼空间逐渐填满。与非核心区相比，预计中环的空置率在短期内可能向上，因企业搬迁到非核心区和缩减规模以节省成本。

东九龙方面，该行指，九龙区写字楼交易和规模增加证明了市场气氛略有改善。九龙东和尖沙咀主导写字楼分区的主要租务成交，因为新建写字楼和具竞争力的租金继续受租户的关注。上月，制造业、航运业和物流业的公司是主要的写字楼需求驱动力，优化规模和提高质素是写字楼搬迁的原因。

后市上，该行预计九龙区写字楼的租金将在年底前见底，甚至租金将有轻微增长，市场悲观情绪将有所缓解。

7月50宗商厦买卖 近5个月最少

据一间本港代理行统计，7月份仅录50宗商厦买卖，按月跌3成。

金额按月跌1成

该行代理表示，面对股市低迷加上息口仍未见顶，商厦投资买卖相对淡静，近月屡创低位，料后市持续整固。综合土地註册处数据，2023年7月份全港共录50宗商厦买卖登记 (数字主要反映2至4星期前商厦市场实际市况)，较6月份的71宗大跌21宗或3成，已连跌4个月，为近5个月最少，且属年内第3低水平。至于8月份至今登记仍然缓慢，料全月仍低位窄幅徘徊。

7月份商厦买卖登记出现量值齐跌的情况，当中登记金额连跌2月，按月再减11%，创下自今年3月以来的5个月新低，仅录得7.3亿元，当中主要是受1,000万至5,000万元以内的中高价商厦买卖登记出现较大跌幅所拖累。

知情人士指，该物业新买家 Alvanada Riviera Ltd，向银行购入物业，该公司董事包括许丽莲，为捷成饮料有限公司啤酒部董事，惟未知她私人购入，或代集团购入。

平均呎价7698元

该物业为银主盘，造价更较12年前购入价低出约35%，该厦地下至3楼为商铺，总面积约5462方呎，4至18楼则为写字楼，面积合共约12465方呎，另天台面积约1570方呎，平均呎价7698元 (不计天台)，新买家拥物业命名权，预计全幢市值月租约50万，料回报逾4.3厘。

该厦业主于2012年8月以2.12亿购入，2020年曾以4.6亿放售，直至2022年3月，沦为银主盘，由银行接手放售，最新成交价较当年购入价低约35%。

成交价较购入价低35%

上述物业发展商为科达地产，早于1988年起进行购併，1995年统一业权后重建，并于2010年以1.21亿易手；然后，接手的买家于2年多后，再以2.12亿沽货。

中环德辅道中巨铺3.7亿易手 翠华李远康沽货23年升值5.4倍

铺市录1宗罕见大买卖，翠华控股大股东兼主席李远康沽售中环德辅道中一个巨铺，曾是翠华旗舰店，作价3.7亿易手，持货23年赚逾3亿，据悉，新买家为港人投资者，以买物业形式购入物业。

正当内地救市，放宽房产政策，铺市亦随即反弹，昨日，市场消息指，中环德辅道中84至86号章记大厦地下及地库，以3.7亿易手，由于现时息口高，该项目若要取得约4厘回报，月租势必破120万，业界对该成交深感讶异，不过，有代理证实该宗交易，惟详情不能透露。本报致电李远康，惟直至截稿时未获回覆。

代理行证实交易

知情人士则透露，上述铺位作价3.7亿，以卖物业易手，买家为港人投资者，需支付相等于铺价4.25%的釐印费，涉资1572.5万，看中该巨铺属中环区罕有，面积大用途多，银行、零售及食肆皆适宜。该巨铺地下面积约3163方呎，地库面积约4200方呎，合共7363方呎，以成交价计算，平均呎价约5万。

港人投资者「买物业」

李远康早于2000年以约5780万购入该铺位，并由翠华餐厅租用多年，从2018年4月1至2021年3月31日止的3个财政年度，翠华每年以1328.1万租用该铺，即月租约110.7万，今番沽售，持货23年，李远康帐面劲赚逾3.1亿，升值逾5.4倍。

今年以来，铺位虽然屡录成交，不过以中价物业为主导，成交价逾亿并不多，近期较瞩目为盛滙商铺基金购入北角英皇道165至175号公主大厦地下一篮子地铺，建筑面积6535方呎及1楼建筑面积6440方呎，总面积约12975方呎，作价约2.13亿易手，呎价约1.6万。原业主为资深投资者杨奋彬。

财团斥12亿收购渣甸山松圃

正当市场人士以为，收楼市场停顿，市场却录1宗瞩目的收购，位于渣甸山的松圃，属传统豪宅地段，录财团垂青，以约12亿收购物业。

松圃位于卫信道8至12号，于1965年1月落成，楼高只有3层，共提供18个单位，面积由1216方呎至1547方呎，由于伙数少，以用家主导，过去数年皆录「0」成交。单位成交价由5958.4万至7580.3万，涉资约12亿。

成交价5958万至7580万

业界人士指，松圃位置极优越，且佔地面积规模大，逾8000方呎，属豪宅地段罕有供应，旺市极难收购，由于近期市况回落，财团善用银弹政策，诱使业主卖楼，平均呎价约5万元，容易于豪宅地段选择心仪的单位，代理于去年才展开收购，财团以 MIGHTY GRAND ENTERPRISES LTD 名义购入物业，惟未知背后买家身份。

近期收楼市场相对淡静，发展商集中为项目「埋尾」，强拍申请及强拍，上述的收购令人耳目一新，不过，业内人士指，未来的收购只集中于优质项目。近期，市场最瞩目的大型强拍，为恒基及太古地产合作收购的鰂鱼涌英皇道及滨海街一系列旧楼，月初获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价高达63.1亿，创本港有史以来金额最高的强拍底价纪录，最新落实于9月19日举行公开拍卖。

Special home loans offered to attract overseas talent

Sino Land (0083) will offer special mortgages for workers who have come to Hong Kong via the city's various talent schemes and are looking to buy a home.

Sales of unsold flats at One Soho in Mong Kok - jointly developed by Sino Land, Chuang's Consortium (0367) and the Urban Renewal Authority - will be relaunched as early as this month, with the developer offering special plans for prospective buyers who have come under the various talent and professional schemes.

A new price list could be unveiled around the middle of the month.

Sino Land says 191 flats have so far been sold at One Soho for a total HK$1.36 billion and at an average price of HK$23,800 per square foot.

The developer's offer came as the overnight Hong Kong Interbank offered rate surged by 1.38 percentage points to the highest in nearly a month at 3.9 percent. However, the one-month Hibor, which is linked to the mortgage rate, fell by about 3 basis points to 3.6858 percent.

In the secondary market, a flat with a car-parking space at Bel-Air in Po Fu Lam sold for HK$70.5 million, 10 percent lower than what it cost five years ago.

The 1,985-sq-ft flat originally had an asking price of HK$82 million but was eventually sold for HK$70.5 million, 10 percent lower than the transaction price of HK$78.5 million paid by the seller in 2018.

With the property market remaining weak, the number of real estate agents continues to decline.

Data from the Estate Agents Authority shows that as of the end of August, the licensed agent count stood at 40,430, marking a monthly decrease of 183 agents.

This decline has persisted for five consecutive months, resulting in a cumulative loss of 644 agents, marking the lowest point in over two-and-a-half years since November 2020.

外资代理行：预期高空置困境 短期难改善

通关后甲厦租务气氛有改善，布外资代理行进行香港写字楼租户调查，访问300多间公司，超过一半表示维持现有楼面，仅约两成多将扩充。该行认为，由于环球经济前景不明，企业审慎，写字楼租务上以控制成本为主，预期商厦高空置困境短期难以改善，现时本港甲厦空置率约15%。

该行近日进行香港写字楼租户调查报告，调查共徵求了321位写字楼租户对未来前景的展望，以了解企业对办公空间的需求。调查于本年6月底至8月初进行，企业对復甦的信心和情绪正在逐渐改善，约41%的受访者对未来3年内的行业前景持乐观态度。

53%租户 将维持现时楼面

租用办公室楼面上，整体上53%租户表示将维持现时办公室楼面，而26%表示会扩充，而21%则表示将进行收缩。当中以资讯科技行业最进取，5成受访机构表示有意扩充，而银行、保险等亦有35%表示计划扩充。

该行代理表示，今年在通关初期，3月份机构查询及睇楼非常活跃，租务上亦加快，惟近月市况转弱。该代理分析，目前主要影响市场，为环球经济前景忧虑、息口偏高等因素，令机构扩充步伐减慢，反而疫情期间在家工作，并非主要缩减办公室主因。该代理表示，今年机构仍会以控制成本为主，逾半计划留在现有办公室。

后市上，该行另一代理指出，现时本港甲厦空置率约15%，处偏高水平，而明年因供应极低，故可作缓冲。他表示，因租户选择多，故设备齐全的大厦，在租务市场上有优势。

啟德3大商场 两年内相继落成

啟德今、明两年将有多个大型商业项目陆续落成，提供近430万平方呎商业楼面，当中南丰发展的 AIRSIDE 大型商场将率先在今个月试业，连写字楼部分，合共涉及逾190万平方呎楼面。

啟德区内商业项目属于起动九龙东第二个核心商业区部分组成，在2016年、2017年开始，政府便陆续推出区内商业用地，多个项目有望在未来2年陆续落成。

目前啟德区内仍以住宅发展为主，并以附属于私人屋苑的商场、商铺居多，现时仍缺乏大型商场，不过按照规划区内未来至少有3个大型商场，包括 AIRSIDE 的商场部分、啟德双子塔的啟德SOGO旗舰店，以及啟德体育园的室内及零售场馆。

AIRSIDE 70万呎购物商场 9.28试业

率先登场将会是南丰旗下 AIRSIDE，前身为发展商于2017年以约246亿元投得第1F区2号商业地，总投资额高达约320亿元，按照规划项目楼高47层，总楼面达约190万平方呎，提供32层高的甲级写字楼，逾10层的购物商场，前者涉约120万平方呎，而商场部分涉约70万平方呎。

AIRSIDE 面积达70万平方呎的购物商场，将会在9月28日试业，据发展商早前披露，将包括约3.3万平方呎的大型戏院、逾万平方呎的艺文空间、日式生活品牌、40多间食肆等。同时，项目停车场共有850个车位，并全部配备电动车充电功能。

1E区2号地 9成楼面作零售

另外，由利福国际于2016年以约74亿元投得的啟德第1E区2号商业地，将发展为2幢楼高18至19层高的双子塔式商厦，有机会最快今年底落成，楼面面积合共逾109万平方呎。项目投资额达145亿元，9成楼面会成为零售，包括作为SOGO啟德旗舰店。

至于明年下旬则将会有啟德零售馆登场，项目由新世界 (00017) 旗下K11集团营运，主建筑共3座，每座最多有5层，设有超过70万呎零售及餐饮设施，提供逾200家店铺。

同时，新地 (00016) 旗下啟德第1F区1号住宅地王，已命名为「天璽‧天」，除了提供约1,500个住宅单位外，基座还设有一个面积约24万平方呎零售商场。

AIRSIDE 甲厦 出租达5成

南丰啟德 AIRSIDE 即将试业，项目除了大型商场，还提供120万平方呎的甲级写字楼，今年底前出租率料达5成，呎租约35至49元。

平均呎租35至49

AIRSIDE 设有32层的甲级写字楼，每层面积3.2万至5.3万平方呎，据南丰早前披露，已出租面积佔近40万平方呎，成交呎租为35至49元，除了南丰将会把总部陆续迁入外，主要租户还包括日资金融集团、法国赛博集团香港分公司及柯尼卡美能达商业系统租用。据南丰在今年中曾指出，预计在年底前可落实2至3宗租赁个案，出租率有望增至一半。

至于同区的承啟道商业项目，中电 (00002) 早在2021年12月时斥约33亿元向远东发展 (00035) 购入写字楼部分，涉及楼面约17.43万平方呎，平均呎价约1.94万元，日后将会成为啟德的新总部。

而利福国际持有的啟德双子塔项目，其中1座将会发展成SOGO啟德旗舰店，较高楼层用作自用办公室；另1座则主要为购物商场，拟引入不适合在百货公司经营的零售商，如单一主要零售商、戏院，另设医疗服务楼层。

Luxury and commercial property remain weak

Secondary sales of homes in prime residential districts of Hong Kong languished last month with only two deals reported at The Peak and the Southern Districts.

And a Causeway Bay shop was put up for sale at a potential loss despite the government's plans to boost the night economy.

A local property agency reported only two transactions - in The Peak and Southern Districts - in August, representing a significant month-on-month decline of about 67 percent.

The two deals were together worth around HK$99.5 million, also marking a substantial drop of 94 percent over the previous month's total.

But despite a downward trend, the agency said the potential for more transactions exists if sellers reduce prices.

The agency anticipates a modest uptick in transactions this month, as buyers may enter the market ahead of new measures expected in the upcoming policy address.

Meanwhile, the total value of sale and purchase agreements for residential homes in August declined by 11.8 percent year-on-year to HK$28.6 billion, according to the Land Registry.

However, on a monthly basis, the transaction value was 7.7 percent higher compared to the HK$26.6 billion recorded in July.

Also in the residential market, the reserve price for a foreclosed three-bedroom unit at Le Prime in Lohas Park was set at HK$6 million in an auction, nearly 30 percent lower than the market's valuation.

And in Tin Shui Wai, a 551-square-foot three-bedroom flat at Kingswood Villas changed hands for HK$4.78 million, or HK$8,675 per sq ft, another local agency said.

The price was about 16 percent lower than the asking price of HK$5.7 billion in July.

In the commercial property market, the Tang Shing-bor family recently listed a ground-floor shop on Lee Garden Road in Causeway Bay for sale, at a reduced price of HK$168 million.

If sold at the target price, the sellers would face an estimated loss of around HK$40 million, marking a nearly 20 percent drop from the HK$208 million purchase price six years ago.

In other news, most Hong Kong Interbank offered rates rose yesterday, with the one-week and one-month rates hitting the highest in nearly two weeks at 3.72 and 4.03 percent, respectively.

This came after the Hong Kong Monetary Authority injected HK$2 billion into the market through the discount window on Monday.

油塘湾「巨无霸」商住项目未来发展备受市场关注，其发展范围内由金宝集团持有的荣山工业大厦，去年向城规会申请重建1幢楼高29层的商厦，可建总楼面约54.4万方呎。最新获规划署原则上不反对，城规会将于明日举行会议审议时料会「开绿灯」通过。该公司指，涉及总投资逾20亿，以打造区内新地标。

规划署指，拟建商厦与邻近景观等并非不相容，项目申请的建筑物高度限制及地积比率并非不合理，故该署原则上不反对有关申请，而城规会将于明日举行会议审议时料会「开绿灯」通过。

城规会料「开绿灯」

金宝集团主席李秀恒回覆本报查询时指，该项目本来打算彻底翻新，改作商场、商厦及酒店综合项目，最新决定拆卸重建，原因是工厦贴近海傍，因应政府要求，将腾出20米作为海滨长廊，地盘面积将由现时约5万方呎，减至只有约4万方呎，工厦现时楼高60米，重建后楼高约130米，以打造区内新地标。

他又称，项目将重建商场、商厦及酒店综合项目，惟暂未决定3者比例，视乎市况而定，初步估计每方呎建筑费约4000元，总投资逾20亿。

他续说，由于项目位处综合发展区，未能享受工厦活化政策，另外，该项目早于2008年已向政府完成补地价程序，以作商业用途，当时每呎补价100元，涉及补价金额约5500多万。

可建总楼面逾54.4万呎

据城规会文件显示，荣山工业大厦位于油塘海旁地段第73及74号，现时属「综合发展区」地带，申请改划为「商业 (1)」地带及修订「商业」地带的《註释》；地盘面积约49514方呎，以地积比11倍发展，拟建1幢楼高29层、包括1层防火层，另有5层地库的商厦，涉及可建总楼面约544658方呎。

近年油塘区发展步伐加快，不少财团积极改划区内项目发展，最瞩目为恒基、新地及会德丰地产等六大发展商合作发展的油塘湾「巨无霸」商住项目，市场消息透露，政府早前第三度批出项目的补地价金额，平均每方呎楼面补价约6000元，涉及金额约245亿，但因金额过高，发展商拒绝接纳并提出上诉。

金朝阳于2017年以7300万买入上述同珍工业大厦一篮子物业帐面赚约4900万，幅度67%。

工厦频录用家承接

近期工厦频录用家承接，其中，北角英皇道657至659号东祥工厂大厦，由大型出版商联合出版集团购入9楼A及B室，作价3800万，建筑面积约7980方呎，平均呎价约4762元。联合出版集团持有该厦4楼及7楼部分单位自用，是次增购9楼单位，料作为自用。原业主分别于1973年及1983年购入A室 (39万) 及B室 (15.73万)，合共54.73万，帐面获利3745.27万，升值68.4倍。

Over a fifth of Hong Kong’s office tenants likely to reduce office space, with many relocating to mainland China and Singapore, study finds

More than a fifth of the respondents polled in Hong Kong said they would downsize their office space in the next two years and relocate elsewhere

Poll respondents cite cost cutting, shrinking business demand and work-from-home policy implementation as the reasons behind their choice

More than a fifth of office tenants in Hong Kong are likely to downsize their space in the next two years with some even looking to relocate to mainland China, Singapore and other parts of the world as they cut costs in a weak economic environment, according to a study released by an international property consultancy on Wednesday.

In a poll of 321 companies, the first since Hong Kong and mainland China scrapped all coronavirus pandemic curbs, 21 per cent or 69 of the respondents said they were likely to trim their operations, citing costs, shrinking business demand and further implementation of work-from-home policy as the top three reasons for their outlook.

“Some occupiers mentioned that their company’s capacity to relocate contributed to their decision,” the study by the property consultancy said. “Among all occupiers planning to downsize, 14 per cent cited relocating capacity to mainland China, 13 per cent to Singapore and 9 per cent to other parts of the world.”

“Businesses are motivated by optimising costs and adapting to changing market demands,” it added.

The poll was conducted from late June to early August and more than half the respondents were Hong Kong-based firms, 18 per cent from Europe and 11 per cent from other Asian cities.

Although 26 per cent of those polled said they would expand their office space and 53 per cent said they were likely to keep their current real estate requirements, the short-term outlook of those planning to leave could pile more pressure on a beleaguered property segment.

“While the majority of the occupiers intend to remain the same in terms of office size, the fact similar proportions of the respondents plan to expand or downsize reflects that the impact of the global economy on business operations and relocation needs vary across industries,” a property consultant said.

The vacancy rate in Hong Kong’s prime office space hit a record high of 15.1 per cent towards the end of August, according to the consultancy, beating the earlier peak of 13.1 per cent struck in September 2003.

Monthly office rental rates have declined 30.3 per cent to HK$54.70 (US$6.98) per square foot from the high struck in January 2019, when office vacancies were at a record low of 3.5 per cent, according to the consultancy.

More supply is scheduled to come on stream with about 3 million sq ft of new office space expected in the second half of the year, the consultancy said in a previous report.

Among the sectors, those in manufacturing, sourcing and trading, and shipping and logistics were the most pessimistic with about a third saying they were likely to reduce their office footprint.

Notably, the split in the real estate and construction sector between companies that said they would expand or reduce their office space was equal at 28 per cent, the study showed.

On the other hand, companies in the IT, banking, finance and insurance sectors were the most optimistic. About 56 per cent of those polled in the IT sector and 35 per cent in the banking, finance and insurance sectors said they were likely to add more office space.

“Respondents identified Hong Kong’s economic outlook (43 per cent) and a potential global recession (34 per cent) as the most important factors likely to impact their business over the next three years,” the study said. “Despite Hong Kong’s slower-than-expected recovery in the first half of 2023, business confidence is improving, with most respondents, especially those in banking and finance and professional services, optimistic about their business outlook over the three years, while 37 per cent of them believe their business will not change.”

The study recommended more flexibility from landlords such as shorter lease periods to adapt to the changing needs of their tenants.

“Supplementary incentives could include rent-free periods and contributions towards fit-out costs,” the consultancy said.

CWB store is rented for a song

A Causeway Bay store has been leased at rock-bottom rates last seen during the Covid pandemic.

The monthly rent of HK$180,000 is also 80 percent lower than peak rents seen at the same prime location.

The 1,325-square-foot rented store includes shops 1 and 2 on the ground floor of The Goldmark on Hennessy Road, near the Sogo department store.

The new tenant is a fashion shop, a real estate agent said. Though it is a short-term lease, the price is the same as the rent paid by a mask brand during the pandemic.

Lukfook Jewellery once paid as much as HK$3.5 million or HK$636 per sq ft to rent shops 1 to 7 at the building but the retailer vacated the premises during the pandemic. Thus, in terms of the price per sq ft, the new lease is about 80 percent lower than those peak levels.

In June, Chanel rented a shop at the adjacent at Capitol Centre for HK$3 million a month, or HK$158 per sq ft, which marked the largest commercial shop deal in Hong Kong in the past three years.

Home completions dive 62pc

Private home completions slumped by 61.7 percent month-on-month in July to just 128 units, according to data from the Rating and Valuation Department.

It brings the total number of completions in the first seven months to 7,684 homes, which is about 38.5 percent of the government's full-year projection.

The downtrend was primarily due to the substantial inventory of unsold flats in new projects, prompting developers to slow the pace of completions in an effort to reduce unsold stock, a property agent said.

The agent noted that since March this year, monthly completions for new residential units have consistently remained in the low three-digit range, with May seeing a two-and-a-half-year low of just 86 units.

Furthermore, the scarcity of construction starts in 2020, totaling just 6,704 flats, has also contributed to the reduced number this year.

With only 7,684 homes built in the first seven months, the agent expects that it is unlikely that the annual target of 19,950 units will be reached.

The majority of the supply consists of small to medium-sized flats, with 4,352 units of 431 square feet or less completed this year, making up about 56.6 percent of the total supply.

In the primary market, Henderson Land (0012) posted the fourth price list for its Baker Circle Greenwich in Hung Hom, offering 28 flats at an average discounted price of around HK$19,038 per sq ft, the same as the third price list. Sales of these units start this Sunday.

In other news, a survey by an international property consultancy showed 56 percent of firms in the information technology sector expressed a strong interest in expanding their offices. Conversely, sectors such as manufacturing showed less interest in expansion, with 31 percent planning to downsize their offices.

本港写字楼租金大幅下调，核心商业区中环的租金跌至吸引水平，令部分企业放慢撤出中环的步伐。中环指标甲级商厦国际金融中心二期 (IFC 2)，首批大型租户之一的法国巴黎银行 (BNP Paribas，下称法巴)，现租用该厦4层，原打算明年租约到期时放弃其中3层，把有关部门搬迁至鰂鱼涌太古坊运作。据悉，法巴最终决定只减租一半楼面，并已续租其中两层共逾4.6万方呎楼面。

原拟四层弃其三 迁太古坊

法巴目前正租用国际金融中心二期60至63楼共4层作为香港总部，每层租用面积 (Lettable Area) 约23295方呎，合共约93180方呎，有关租约明年2月到期。今年初市场已有消息传出，法巴会在租约到期后，放弃续租大部分国际金融中心二期的楼面，把办公室搬迁到鰂鱼涌太古坊非核心商业区，以节省租金开支。

市场人士透露，大业主今年初曾把国际金融中心二期60、61及62楼3层推出市场放租，合共租用面积69885方呎楼面，意向呎租约160元，3层总月租逾1118万元，即每层月租约372.7万元。不过，近期60楼一层已经不在放租名单中。据悉，有关楼层并非成功预租，而是法巴决定续租60楼及63楼两层，合共约46590方呎，市场估计续租每月逾600万元，呎租约130元，租期4年。

根据资料显示，法巴早在2006年起，已经承租国际金融中心二期5层半楼面作为香港总部；2011年缩减至租用59至63楼共5层，合共总租用楼面达11.65万方呎。

法巴于2018年续租5层楼面至2024年2月，为期6年，月租高达2096.55万元，呎租达180元。不过，法巴突然在2021年初提早3年退租59楼全层，目前只留下4层，随着公司决定不续租61楼及62楼，明年法巴位于国际金融中心二期的香港总部只会餘下两层，较17年前减少逾一半规模，以法巴最新续租的呎租130元计算，较5年前大跌27.8%。

逾半商厦租户未来2年不扩充

自内地和本港通关后，由于环球经济不景，本港写字楼市道未见明显回勇，空置率不减之餘，租金亦反弹乏力。虽然市场普遍预期营商环境不会再变差，但重拾增长需时，因此企业对租用商厦持审慎态度。据一间外资代理行发布的香港写字楼租户调查研究报告，受访本港写字楼租户中，有超过一半企业表明未来两年不会就现时办公空间进行搬迁或扩充，只会保留现有的规模运作。

以国际金融中心二期为例，近期成交多为续租个案，如东莞银行现时租用的国际金融中心二期25楼4至11室，租用面积约11000方呎，在2021年以每月约154万元租用3年，呎租约140元，租约于明年1月到期。

据了解，东莞银行已续租上述楼面多3年，至2027年初，以市值呎租约120元计，涉及月租约132万元，料每月租金开支可减22万元，降幅约14.3%。

Secondary home deals rebound amid price cuts

Despite record rainfall last Friday, transactions in the secondary property market rebounded over the weekend thanks to more price reductions and fewer launches in the primary market.

A local property agency reported 13 deals at 10 major housing estates, up from three during the previous typhoon-hit weekend, to a 19-week high.

The agency said adverse weather over the previous weekend had affected real estate transactions but this weekend saw a release in buying power, as more owners lowered prices, enticing home buyers.

There are signs that prices have begun to stabilize and secondary transactions are expected to recover gradually, it said.

Meanwhile, another local agency saw weekend deals at 10 major housing estates rise to 14 from three the previous week to a 19-week high.

A three-bedroom flat at Taikoo Shing in Quarry Bay with an area of 689 square feet sold for under HK$10 million, after its price was reduced from HK$11.5 million in June to HK$9.9 million.

And in Tin Shui Wai, a three-bedroom flat at Kingswood Villas sold for HK$5.1 million or HK$8,100 per sq ft, marking a loss of HK$300,000 compared to its 2018 purchase price.

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was reportedly set to raise the H-plan mortgage rate cap by 0.5 percentage points to 4.125 percent on September 18. Other lenders are anticipated to follow suit, aiming to alleviate high borrowing costs.

A property agent expressed concerns that this might discourage potential buyers, worsening the overall market sentiment.

In the primary market, Henderson Land (0012) released 28 flats at Baker Circle Greenwich in Hung Hom yesterday, with the cheapest priced at HK$3.65 million, while Longfor (0960) will launch sales of four special flats at Upper RiverBank in Kai Tak today, three days later than originally planned, due to the heaviest rain on record last week.

CK Asset (1113) has added 10 more car-parking spaces to The Beaumont II in Tseung Kwan O with prices starting from HK$1.28 million, and five lots to Harbour Glory in North Point with the cheapest priced at HK$2.36 million.

This move followed a price reduction of up to 35 percent, which contributed to the developer's successful sales of 32 parking lots at both projects, generating a revenue of HK$52 million.

Hong Kong luxury home market awaits return of affluent mainland Chinese buyers, as city’s talent scheme powers rentals

The city recorded 42 luxury home sales in the three months to June, down 37.3 per cent quarter on quarter, as high borrowing costs put off investors

The decline in Hong Kong luxury flat sales reflects the overall malaise in the city’s property market under the current high interest rate regime

Hong Kong’s luxury property market is still waiting for affluent mainland Chinese buyers to return, according to industry analysts, but the wait could take longer as high borrowing costs and economic uncertainty continue to weigh on investors’ appetite for the city’s high-end flats.

“We’ve had many inquiries from mainland Chinese investors, but they are still taking a wait-and-see attitude during the second quarter,” a property agent from an international agency said “Therefore, inquiry numbers were larger than transactions.”

The number of so-called super prime residential sales – covering transactions worth US$10 million and above – fell 17.6 per cent in the second quarter, down from their peak level in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to data from the agency. Total consideration for these deals in the same period dropped 28.6 per cent from the high reached in 2021’s December quarter.

The city recorded 42 luxury flat sales in the three months to June, which amounted to a total of HK$6.54 billion (US$834 million). That reflected a 37.3 per cent quarter-on-quarter tumble in the number of deals and a 15.6 per cent decline in total consideration.

In the first half of the year, 1,318 luxury flats were sold, at an average price of more than HK$20 million, according to data from another international property consultancy. That number was down from the previous high of 1,717 such transactions during the same period in 2019.

Luxury residential sales in the first six months of the year were concentrated at The Peak and Kowloon Tong, upmarket areas traditionally favoured by affluent property buyers, according to data from both agencies.

The decline in Hong Kong luxury flat sales reflects the overall malaise in the city’s property market, which has struggled amid high interest rates and a recent surge in unsold inventory from newly developed projects.

Hong Kong’s “prime” homes – defined by the first agency as the top 5 per cent of the residential market in terms of value – lost 1.5 per cent of their value for the year.

“We don’t see a lot of reasons that support a luxury residential sales market recovery in the short term,” the agent said. “The recovery will need to wait until the US starts cutting interest rates. So we expect sales in the market will slowly pick up in the second quarter of 2024.”

The city’s luxury residential market, which gained momentum in the first quarter after its borders reopened, has since been hampered by high borrowing costs owing to the US Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hike strategy. The one-month Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, a measure of the interest banks charge each other to borrow money, surged to 5.29 per cent in July from 0.2 per cent in May, largely freezing buying activity.

The priciest luxury home transaction recorded in July was a 4,470 sq ft town house at Twenty Peak Road by V, which sold for HK$860 million, or HK$181,435 per square foot. A flat measuring 7,111 sq ft at 59 Mount Kellett Road on The Peak was bought in the same month for HK$900 million, or about HK$126,564 per square foot.

In Kowloon Tong’s 36 LaSalle Road, a 7,083 sq ft house sold for HK$255 million.

“We haven’t heard of an influx of mainland or foreign buyers in the housing market,” another agent said.

“Capital is allocated and parked in risk-free assets, such as time deposits, under the [current] high interest rate environment,” the agent said. “The wealthy mainland buyers or end users are cautious about the high borrowing costs.”

Still, there is some optimism that Hong Kong’s luxury home rental market has turned a corner and is set to rise on the back of the government’s Top Talent Pass Scheme.

“The Top Talent Pass Scheme attracted many mainland talents to work in Hong Kong,” and this group of professionals has also gradually bought or rented houses, driving a large amount of rental transactions on Hong Kong Island, a recent report from a local property agency said.

The Hong Kong government said in July that it received more than 100,000 applications to various talent schemes and approved over 60 per cent of them, nearly double the number targeted.

The city’s luxury home rental market edged up 3.2 per cent year-to-date in July, according to data from the international property agency.

“Demand from the rental market is rather robust and dynamic,” the agent said. The agent indicated that luxury flat tenants are from the mainland and returning expats.

“Although the numbers are not as many as those pre-Covid, we are now seeing tenants coming from Singapore and Dubai,” the agent said.

A three-bedroom, one-suite flat with an area of 1,032 sq ft in 80 Robinson Road at Mid-Levels West was rented to a mainland professional for HK$61,000 per month or HK$59 per square foot, according to another local agency’s report.

Also at Mid-Levels West, a 1,310 sq ft flat in Azure was leased in April for HK$85,000 a month in April, or about HK$65.3 per square foot, according to the agency.

Although Hong Kong’s talent scheme is expected to appeal to a number of mainland Chinese and foreign professionals to lease luxury flats in the city, the agent said they remains “cautiously optimistic” about the prospects of the luxury residential rental market.

中环盈置大厦巨铺每月55万 丢空3年终租出租金较疫市前跌38%

核心区巨铺受追捧，中环盈置大厦一个复式巨铺，面积约6000方呎，自从运动用品旗舰店撤出，铺位在丢空3年后，终以每月55万租出，平均呎租93元，较3年前旧租金下跌38%。

上址为中环干诺道中41号盈置大厦地铺及1楼，建筑面积约5942方呎，铺面向干诺道中及域多利皇后街大单边。

平均呎租93元

市场消息透露，自从开关以来，业主以每月65万放租，近日成功租出，月租55万，较意向租金减10万，暂未知新租客所属行业，惟并非时装，亦不是饮食业。

租金较高峰期跌66%

该巨铺旧租客运动用品连锁店NIKE，10年前，NIKE将旗舰店由区内皇后大道中的万年大厦巨铺，搬迁至该盈置大厦巨铺，其时正值铺市高峰期，租金高企，该巨铺月租高达160万，及后于疫市前续租时，月租减至90万，2020年8月，NIKE敌不过疫市只好撤出，铺位亦一直丢空，业主亦大幅减价放租，曾一度叫价50万，在市况低迷时仍乏人问津。

直至今年通关后，该铺位开始受注目，业主亦将叫租提高至65万，今番终获承租，最新租金较当时跌38%，相对高峰期更下跌66%，却高于市况最低潮时的意向价。

近期区内巨铺承租，包括中环皇后大道中36号兴瑋大厦2及3楼，建筑面积共约8500方呎，由威士忌品牌麦卡伦以每月约50万承租，平均呎租约60元，在此设立旗舰店，上址位处中环核心地段，是皇后大道中通往兰桂坊必经之路，该品牌选址于此，可网罗中环上班一族、兰桂坊常客及旅客。

麦卡伦承租九龙湾国际交易中心单位多时，面积约1.2万方呎，市值呎租约20餘元，早前租用金鐘太古广场二座中层全层，面积约2万方呎，市值呎租约100元，现时由东九龙升级至核心区，开设旗舰店。

工商铺录351宗註册 代理行：按月升18.2%

有本地代理行综合土地註册处资料显示，8月份工商铺註册量共录351宗，按月升约18.2%，金额录38.76亿，按月增约27.7%。当中工商铺三板块的註册宗数按月录全线上升，商铺註册量升幅最大，8月共录106宗登记，按月升约35.9%，其次为商厦板块，最新60宗註册，按月增约22.4%。工厦维持平稳，8月录185宗登记，按月升约8.8%。

中高价物业交投大增

若按金额划分，8月份註册量升幅最多的为价值5,000万以上至1亿物业，共录10宗註册，按月升150%。其次为价值2000万以上至5000万物业，最新录25宗，按月增约38.9%。中细价物业註册量维持平稳，500万或以下最新录189宗，按月升约8.0%。至于介乎500万以上至1000万物业，登记量则录72宗，按月升约26.3%。

8月份录4宗逾亿元註册成交，其中1宗为商厦，尖沙咀柯士甸路28号新港国际大厦全幢以1.38亿成交。商铺录3宗登记，包括鰂鱼涌英皇道983至987A号瑞士楼多个铺位、荃湾荃威花园1期地下及2楼商场部分，以及西营盘皇后大道西476至482号永兴楼地下多个铺位，作价分别2.49亿、1.7亿及1.15亿。

该行代理表示，虽然8月份工商铺註册量略见回升，但由于市场上欠缺新盘推售，加上经济仍未恢復到疫情前水平，相信短期内註册量将在目前水平徘徊。

西营盘旧楼批强拍底价2.54亿

市区住宅地皮供应有限，财团纷纷透过併购旧楼以增加土储。其中，西营盘时利楼获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价2.54亿，较2021年申请强拍时的市场估值逾1.8亿，高出逾41%。

市场估值逾1.8亿

土地审裁处资料显示，位于西营盘荔安里1、3、5号，以及朝光街21、22、23、24号的时利楼，直至判决时，财团收购约82.857%业权，尚餘7个单位未收购，而餘下未收购的7个单位中，有4个由九建执行董事柯沛钧持有。

上述项目地盘面积约2977方呎，现址为1幢楼高7层的商住物业，地下及地库设有商铺，2楼至5楼为住宅部分，物业于1971年落成，楼龄52年。

事实上，市区地皮供应不足，特别是港岛区，因此发展商频向旧楼埋手，例如由恒基及太古地产合作收购的英皇道及滨海街一系列旧楼，早前获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价高达63.1亿，创本港有史以来最高的强拍底价纪录，将于本月19日正式拍卖。

商厦租金倒退至哪一年？

差估署数据显示，今年7月整体商厦租金指数227点，大概回到2015年年中水平。

翻查差餉物业估价署数据，今年上半年继续有商厦楼面入伙，总数约有近48万平方呎楼面落成，其中超过43万平方呎是甲级商厦，而预计今年全年约有287万平方呎楼面落成，甲级佔270万平方呎。

商厦市况疲弱，几乎可以说是席捲全球，澳洲房地产委员会 (PCA) 8月发表最新研究数据，显示澳洲今年上半年的写字楼空置率升至90年代以来最高。由于新冠疫情以来在家工作情况普遍，加上经济放缓，对写字楼物业经营造成压力。

大多数大企业总部所在的大城市，空置率大部分都超过1成，悉尼为11.5%，墨尔本15%，珀斯15.9%。另外，有外资代理行报告显示，今年第二季加拿大全国写字楼空置率升至18.1%，高于第一季的17.7%，是自1994年第一季18.6%以来的最高水平。

如果要比空置率的高低，内地城市情况更严峻，另一外资代理行早前公布的数据显示，第二季度上海甲级写字楼净吸纳量录得33万平方呎，环同比分别下滑77.5%、59.9%。在净吸纳量大幅下跌的情况下，上海甲级写字楼整体空置率攀升至18.59%，环比上升1.28%。

北京今年第二季写字楼空置率升至18.3%，创下近13年新高，租金则倒退到2012年的水平。财经网引用三间外资代理行数据指，第二季度，北京写字楼的净吸纳量为负57万平方呎，租户不断流失。

作为北京高新科技企业集中地的中关村，写字楼空置率达到了16.9%，创了近10年高位，其平均租金跌幅更大，按季下跌了7.6%。有受访附近居民提到，在2020年前后，中关村附近的写字楼到晚上9时依旧灯火通明，叫车软件上排队都得20分鐘起跳。现在的晚上，几乎再没有整片亮起灯光的大楼。

各一綫城市的写字楼各面临着不同程度出租困境，上半年，上海、广州、深圳的甲级写字楼空置率分别升至18.6%、18%及24.5%。至于香港，据其中一间代理行的最新统计，整体甲厦空置率为15.7%，中环甲级商厦是9.9%，中环超甲级商厦是7.4%。官方数据差餉物业估价署数据，2022年整体空置14.4%，甲厦15.1%，乙厦15.1%，丙级是8.8%。至于上文提到北京商厦租金回到2012年，香港又如何？

7月租金指数 回到2015年中

同为差估署数字，今年7月整体商厦租金指数227点，大概回到2015年年中水平；甲级商厦的租金指数是227.8点，大概回落至2015年初的水平；乙级大概跌至2015年年中，丙级则回落至2017年上半年。

有关内地商厦报道，提到其中一间外代理代理为内地商厦作出比喻，「这就像疫情三年，办公楼市场生了一场病。本以为今年第二季度已经完全康復可以跑马拉松了，但走到小区门口发现身体还是不舒服，只能先回来。」香港同样是大病一场，调理需时！

3,000 homes to hit market

Nearly 3,000 new homes are ready to hit the market after the Lands Department granted presale consents to four projects including Lohas Park phase 12A and 12B.

In August, a total of four presale consent agreements were approved, covering 2,998 units. This represents a decrease of 1,604 units or 34.9 percent from that of July when 4,602 units were approved.

Lohas Park Phase 12A and 12B, above the Lohas Park MTR station in Tseung Kwan O, are the result of a joint development between Wheelock Properties and MTR Corporation (0066). They will contribute a combined total of 1,335 residential units, with 650 units in Phase 12A and 685 units in Phase 12B.

In respect of the Subsidized Sales Flats Project at 21 On Yu Road, Kwun Tong, under the Hong Kong Housing Society, and the third tower of the eResidence, a Starter Homes Pilot Project for Hong Kong residents in To Kwa Wan under the Urban Renewal Authority, they both have obtained presale consents. These projects will offer 1,403 units and 260 units respectively.

The department also received last month applications regarding three projects including two by Early Light International, involving a total of 1,361 units.

Meanwhile, 18 units of The Harmonie, a project co-developed by Henderson Lands (0012) and the URA in Cheung Sha Wan will be put on the market next Tuesday for an average price of HK$17,470 a square foot after discounts. The sole three-bedroom apartment in this batch, of 769 sq ft in space, has seen its price drop from HK$15 million one and a half years ago to HK$11.3 million today.

In a separate development, a Taiwanese beverage maker has rented a 560-sq-ft shop at 33 Argyle Street in Mong Kok for HK$52,000 per month, or HK$93 per sq ft.

Hong Kong wealthy families, funds among likely bidders in distress sale of defaulter Golden Wheel’s retail building in Tin Hau

Golden Wheel’s Tin Hau property is likely to sell for a price much lower than the original HK$1.25 billion demanded by its owner a year ago

The property is just one of the handful of assets seized by creditors as the owners have been unable to meet debt obligations

Hong Kong’s property market remains stressed with the potential distress sale of a retail building providing further evidence of the weak demand in the sector. The property which is located in Tin Hau is in creditor possession and is now likely to sell for a price much lower than the original HK$1.25 billion (US$160 million) that its owner, Golden Wheel Tiandi Holdings, was asking about a year ago, according to market sources.

The sale of the 25-story Golden Wheel Plaza on 68 Electric Road in a district known for its local cuisine and food stalls has drawn interest from “investors including funds and high-net-worth local families looking for a trophy asset”.

“All I can say is that this is a receivers’ sale of asset, so as long as the receivers accept an offer made, it will push through,” said the analyst. “The owner tried to sell the property a year ago but did not find any buyer for the asking price. But this time it is different.”

The property is just one of a handful of assets seized by creditors as the owners have been unable to meet their debt obligations.

China Evergrande Group’s Hong Kong headquarters building, a 27-story tower in Wan Chai, is yet to find a buyer. Creditors put the building on the market a year ago to recover their dues as the world’s most indebted developer struggled to restructure its US$300 billion liabilities.

In January, the former headquarters of embattled Goldin Financial Holdings was bought by PAG and Singapore-backed Mapletree Investment for a significant discount of HK$5.6 billion, according to PAG.

The site of the Golden Wheel Plaza building was bought for about HK$800 million and the construction cost of the building, which was completed in 2020, was about HK$200 million, according to a source.

Currently, the building, which has a gross floor area of 51,971 sq feet, is 60 per cent occupied with personal-care retailer Mannings and some food-and-beverage shops on the ground floor, the source said.

Rents paid by tenants on the ground floor are estimated to be as high as HK$120 per square foot, while those on the higher floors are estimated to be about HK$50 per square foot.

“The occupancy is a bit low but it is likely to improve once the building is managed better,” the source said.

A property agent said “the building has a lot of value. “It has good restaurants as tenants, including one that has a Michelin star, and it has a good sea view and is surrounded by more restaurants and hotels. It’s a destination area.”

An international property agency has been appointed by receivers to conduct the public sale by tender that is set to close on October 31 at noon.

The property is located close to the Tin Hau MTR Station and Victoria Park and not far from the bustling shopping district of Causeway Bay. The property includes a car park and is near a taxi rank.

“Investors may seize this opportunity to purchase the property while the global market is still in the recovery phase,” the agent said. “When the global economy fully rebounds, stable rental income and property appreciation can be expected.”

Debt-stricken Golden Wheel, the Nanjing-based developer of the property, reported a higher loss in the six months ended June. Its net loss widened by 44 per cent to 518.9 million yuan from 360 million yuan a year ago, and the company continues to battle with negative working capital as its current liabilities are far in excess of current assets.

The developer defaulted on a US$40 million loan in October last year, which triggered cross-defaults on its HK$304.135 million and 3.377 billion yuan loans.

Golden Wheel said it was taking steps to restructure its debts and raise funding.

有本港代理行发表的商厦报告指，8月份商厦註册宗数录59宗，按月升约20%，租售价持平，分散业权甲厦售价及租金分别按月微升0.4%及0.6%，惟乙厦售价跌幅达3.8%，中环区乙厦过去半年未录买卖。

上月50大指标甲厦仅录2宗买卖，其中为德林控股购入中环威灵顿街92号商厦的最高5层及冠名权，作价近3亿，反映家族办公室来港设立据点。

九龙东成焦点

九龙东甲厦录大手租务，日资银行 MUFG Bank 承租啟德 AIRSIDE 二层，涉及面积约9万方呎，呎租35元，为医管局主要部门租用啟汇 (Harbourside HQ) 达10万方呎的楼面，市场预料成交呎租为15元。该行代理认为，目前啟德新甲厦的租金水平对比传统核心区如中环、金鐘的平均租金较便宜，估计能吸引没有特定地域要求的政府办公室或国际企业后勤部门进驻，带动该区的商厦租务。

啟德「巨无霸」住宅地6财团角逐 大发展商主导业界：出价趋保守

啟德2A区2号及3号「巨无霸」住宅地，原定上周五截标，惟受世纪暴雨影响，延至昨日截标，共接获6份标书，除一眾「本地薑」外，亦有发展商以合组财团方式竞投。有入标发展商指，出价已考虑近期市况及地皮位置等因素。业界指，料出价倾向保守，但流标风险不大。综合市场估值约44.65亿至59.54亿，每方呎楼面估值约4500至6000元。

上述啟德住宅地昨中午12时正式截标，地政总署公布，合共接获6份标书，据现场所见及及综合市场消息，多间大型发展商均有入标，包括长实、新地、恒基、会德丰地产、南丰集团，而信和则伙拍中国海外、鹰君及华人置业合组财团入标竞投。

市场估值44至59亿

会德丰地产高级经理 (物业发展) 何伟锦表示，集团以独资方式入标，由于地皮位处市区，而且邻近港铁站，故有兴趣，并透露出价会考虑目前市况等因素，强调会计自己数。

新地回覆查询时表示，集团以独资方式入标竞投。

有测量师指，大型发展商都基本有入标，流标的机会转低，但相信出价仍属保守。

涉总楼面99万方呎

另一测量师说，入标财团均属本港龙头发展商，部分财团于邻近亦有项目，考虑到近期经济以至市况偏淡，相关出价会反映对后市的看法，包括未来美国联储局进一步上调息率压抑通涨的负面因素，料出价保守，但流标风险不大。

上述啟德2A区2号及3号合併招标住宅地，邻近港铁宋皇臺站，指定作非工业 (不包括仓库、酒店及加油站) 用途。地盘面积约14.53万方呎，涉及可建总楼面约99.23万方呎。综合市场估值约44.65亿至59.54亿，每方呎楼面估值约4500至6000元。

据卖地章程显示，中标财团需兴建多项设施，包括负责兴建长者邻舍中心、严重弱智人士宿舍、残疾人士地区支援中心、男童院等政府地方的楼面，上述政府设施总楼面可获豁免，有关费用将在上述政府配置转让给政府时由政府支付。另外，亦需负责地盘外东面一节范围修建一处公眾休憩用地，并及后交还于政府；负责兴建地下购物街、多段24小时开放的公眾通道及于地盘7处指定位置修筑接驳口以连接地盘与地下街、龙津石桥保育长廊及毗邻发展项目等。另外，发展局早前指地下街长约175米，佔整条啟德地下街11%。上述项目发展期长达7年，至2030年12月31日。

Major players enter fray for $6b Kai Tak site

A residential site in Kai Tak worth up to nearly HK$6 billion has drawn six bids from major local property developers when the tender closed yesterday, the Lands Department said.

CK Asset (1113), Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), Henderson Land Development (0012), Wheelock Properties and Nan Fung Group were said to be among the bidders for the 13,499-square-meter site.

And a consortium formed by Sino Land (0083), Great Eagle (0041), Chinese Estates (0127), and state-owned China Overseas Land & Investment (0688) also reportedly submitted its bid.

The plot, Kai Tak Area 2A Site 2 and Site 3, will provide a supply of 1,325 flats totaling 92,185 sq m when completed.

Its market valuation ranges from HK$4.47 billion to HK$5.96 billion, or from HK$4,500 to HK$6,000 per sq ft.

That was even lower than the price of an adjacent site CK acquired last year. The developer purchased it for HK$6,138 per sq - the lowest in Kai Tak since May 2014 and 23 percent below the lower end of market expectation - in December, which was seen as a bargain at the time.

The purchaser of the new site is required to construct around 175 meters of the underground shopping street, which is around 11 percent of the total Kai Tak underground street by length, as well as six social welfare facilities of around 42,000 sq ft which is excluded from the total floor area of the site. The facilities include a neighborhood elderly center, day activity center, and hostel for the mentally handicapped.

The plot is near the Sung Wong Toi MTR Station, but the provisions of the underground street and government accommodations are expected to increase the construction cost and time to a certain extent, and thus be reflected in bids, a surveyor said.

Coupled with the sluggish property market, the surveyor expects the developers' bids to be conservative.

This came as data from the Inland Revenue Department showed Hong Kong's overall stamp duty revenues from property purchases nearly halved last month from July to the lowest since October at HK$295 million. The number of transactions involved, though, rose 3 percent to 201 in August.

Revenue from buyer's stamp duty, which applies to non-permanent resident and company purchases, slumped by 61 percent to HK$230.4 million, despite cases only down by just 5 percent to 54 in the month.

In the primary market, Road King Infrastructure (1098) said it may unveil the first price list of at least 139 units for its new project Mori in Tuen Mun this week, and the sales may take place within the month.

瑞士制錶品牌爱彼 租全层1.2万呎

本港写字楼市场空置率仍高企，恒基地产 (00012) 旗下中环美利道商业项目 The Henderson 亦将于2023年底落成。恒地租务部副总经理梁碧茜表示，全港包括中环的写字楼市场自2020年开始需求减弱，空置率高，但恒地对项目仍有信心，目前 The Henderson 可出租楼层的出租率已升至近50%。

梁碧茜表示，继佳士德及私募基金凯雷后，The Henderson 亦获瑞士制錶品牌爱彼 (Audemars Piguet) 及国际画廊将会承租，其中爱彼将租用全层约1.2万平方呎楼面，作为其AP House及香港办公室之用。

明年中入伙 出租率料续升

她承认，中环空置率高企，但今年开关后，租客活动转活，他们对新项目有兴趣及需求，相信 The Henderson 于2024年中入伙时出租率会进一步提升，目前 The Henderson 签订的租金与中环其他甲级写字楼相若，属合理租金，但会因应租户需要楼面及需求，制定不同租约。

The Henderson 楼高36层，写字楼共有25层，楼面面积介乎1.2万至1.5万平方呎，设有空中花园及宴会厅。

梁碧茜指，The Henderson 全幢只会有20至30个租客，故最重要是拣选认同集团理念的合适租客，而租金一般会视乎市场供求及经济环境而定，但相信项目地理位置及设计优越，再配合可持续发展策略，会受租户欢迎。

「地标中的地标」 重ESG合作

恒地锐意将 The Henderson 打造为「地标中的地标」(An icon amongst icon)，由扎哈．哈迪德建筑事务所设计，参考香港紫荆花的花蕾，使用逾4,000块玻璃，由超过1,000种不同弧度的玻璃拼砌出来，并针对地带的特点，围绕3个绿化带，包括遮打花园的绿化建筑、香港公园等。

梁碧茜指，早前本港经历打风及黑雨期间，项目的玻璃均无受损，亦无渗透，加强对建筑物的信心。

随社会对可持续发展关注度提高，The Henderson 推出由业主、租户及其员工三方共同参与的ESG合作伙伴计划，除每年会向租户提供ESG表现报告，包括能源、水、废物、碳排放四大领域，员工如达到ESG目标也可赚取HEND Coins换取免费咖啡等奖赏。

梁碧茜指项目无将绿色条款与租金掛钩，但与潜在租户开会时，他们重视物业能否配合其公司ESG目标，而且恒地着重业主及租客在ESG方面如何合作，如提供太阳能幕墙降温装置、迷你天气监测仪等。

工商铺买卖录319宗 中原：按月升27%

有本港代理行资料显示，8月份共录约319宗工商铺买卖，按月升约27%，增幅归咎于7月份基数较低，当中近70%由造价1000万的成交组成。

该行认为，政府积极研究推出具体措施刺激经济，令投资者信心逐步回升，预测工商铺买卖平稳上扬。

1000万或以下买卖佔70%

该行代理表示，根据统计，8月份市场仅录约319宗工商铺买卖，总金额约44.88亿，对比7月份升约27%及20%，按年同期未见改善，分别较2022年同期少约6%及23%。

该代理续指，月内市况表现持续疲弱，佔69%即约220宗为造价1000万以下成交，当中七成来自工商物业，达157宗。观乎8月份成交宗数与其他月份相若，表面上，8月份成交走势有所回升，主要是7月份受暑假外游影响令基数低，7月份买卖仅录250宗。

商铺录80宗按月升37%

该代理续说，8月以商铺最受捧，宗数由7月约58宗，跳升约37%至约80宗，铜锣湾霎东街15号 OLIV 基座，包括商铺及1至3楼，成交价约3亿，新买家为罗守耀及其牙医太太邓嘉玲。

盛汇商铺基金以约2.13亿购入北角英皇道165至175号公主大厦地下一篮子地铺及1楼全层，呎价约17000元，原业主为投资者杨奋彬，其于2009年以约1.14亿购入上述物业，持货约14年帐面获利近1亿。

湾仔旧楼批强拍 底价1.361亿

港岛区地皮供应罕有，不少财团透过强拍增加土储，由财团去年申请强拍的湾仔秀华坊旧楼，最新获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价为1.361亿，对比2022年5月申请时估值约5751万，高出7859万或1.4倍。

料可建总楼面1.6万方呎

据土地审裁处文件显示，上述获批强拍令的旧楼位于秀华坊18号，财团于2022年5月向该处提出强拍申请，当时已持有约83.33%业权，餘下1个单位未能成功收购。而申请人曾于2022年至2023年期间曾5度向小业主出价收购，由最初1865.2万，提升至今年2月的2100万，同年5月进一步提升至2300万，即加增约434.8万或23.3%，仍遭小业主拒绝。

恒基大角咀旧楼今强拍

属于999年期的「千年地契」，重建无用途限制，地盘面积约3358方呎，若以地积比5倍重建，料可建总楼面约16790方呎。

旧楼有价 鸭脷洲成发展商收购对象

港铁南港岛綫通车后，南区与传统市区的距离拉近，交通变得更为便利，释放发展潜力，因此鸭脷洲一带近年相继吸引中小型发展商在区内插旗。

鸭脷洲大街一带有不少旧楼林立，对于发展商而言为收购的机会。早年本地龙头发展商之一的恒地 (00012) 已看中区内潜力，收购该带的旧楼，并已发展为倚南及逸南。

新明大楼 年初申强拍

而位于鸭脷洲山明街16至24号及新市街41至43号新明大楼，今年年初亦已经向土地审裁处申请强拍。根据申请文件，项目早于1966年落成，现为1幢8层高的商住楼宇，地盘面积约4,060平方呎，是次强拍的申请人为威德胜有限公司 (Victory Super Limited)，其公司董事包括郑慧仪 (CHENG, WAI YEE CONNIE) 等人，属新世界 (00017) 附属公司董事，故不排除背后申请财团为新世界。申请人现持有上述项目80%业权，项目的现况市值逾2.6亿元。

事实上，当港铁南港岛綫落成后，鸭脷洲的发展潜力进一步增加，吸引不少发展商积极在该区收购旧楼，当中以宏安 (01222) 最为积极。发展商于去年年初接连为区内旧楼申请强拍，包括位于鸭脷洲大街17至19号海德楼、鸭脷洲大街21至23号与平澜街5B号花洲大楼，及鸭脷洲新市街37至39号南德大楼。而发展商于今年年初亦已成功以约1.06亿元统一南德大楼的业权。

宏安3项目一併重建 增6.3万呎楼面

宏安曾透露将会为前述3个项目一併重建，共组成面积近7,000平方呎地盘，以地积比率9倍计，其可重建楼面约6.3万平方呎。

至于近年积极物色旧楼收购的乐风集团亦看準区内优势，伙新加坡房地产私募股权投资公司SC Capital Partners收购该带旧楼。发展商于今年3月成功以约1.57亿元统一鸭脷洲好景街26、28号及平澜街2号项目。该项目将连同比邻全数拥有的平澜街4至4A号项目合併发展，组成约4,000多平方呎的地盘，并计划以地积比率约9倍重建1座约20多层的项目，提供约60至70伙，主打1及2房户型，总投资额涉约8亿元，发展商当时预计项目会在3年内落成。

另外，由庄士中国 (00298) 发展的弦岸，前身为平澜街6至8号、及鸭脷洲大街26至32号旧楼，发展商于2019年斥资约4.55亿元收购项目，其地盘面积4,320平方呎，可重建总楼面约4万平方呎。项目将兴建1幢27层高的商住大厦，提供105伙，但值得留意的是，弦岸原计划于6月中展开首轮销售，惟最终销售突然遭煞停。

Audemars Piguet to move into The Henderson

Henderson Land (0012) said its grade A office building The Henderson under construction in Central has recorded a 50 percent occupancy rate, with Audemars Piguet the latest tenant to sign up.

The Swiss watchmaker will take up a 12,000-square-foot floor at the tower which will include its office and an AP House store.

AP House stores are designed to feel like a home away from home for the manufacture's most valued clients.

Other major tenants to sign up include Christie's and Caryle.

Christie's will hold its auctions there instead of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, renting four floors with altogether about 50,000 sq ft. And private equity firm Carlyle will occupy 1.5 floors - about 20,000 sq ft.

The building is targeted to be completed by the end of this year, and the hope is to achieve 80 percent occupancy in 2024, according to Henderson Land Development deputy general manager for leasing Charlotte Leung Pik-sai.

Leung acknowledged the increasing supply of grade A offices but believes rental prices will be stabilized when economic activities resume to normal gradually.

The Henderson will sign a green memorandum of understanding with tenants. Some patented technologies have been applied to the green building including the solar responsive ventilator.

The Henderson is a 36-story building with 25 floors of office space, a sky garden and a glass roofed banquet hall.

Ho Man Tin flat prices cut by 14pc as developers vie for sales

Local developers are rolling out offers to attract home buyers, including discounts of up to 14 percent for flats at Chinachem's In One in Ho Man Tin.

For the new project atop Ho Man Tin MTR Station, Chinachem said it will revise the price lists to offer home buyers discounts of as much as 14 percent with a new payment scheme.

Jointly developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066), In One still has 81 units for sale, with the cheapest unit of HK$7.99 million in this batch.

The project has sold 429 flats, or 80 percent of total units, cashing in HK$7.3 billion. The average price per square foot for the sold apartments is HK$28,300.

For the coming Mid-Autumn festival and national holiday, Chinachem plans to offer coupons at MTR malls to those who buy units at In One from September 16 to October 8. The highest award is HK$38,000 worth of coupons for the three-bedroom unit buyers.

Meanwhile, Chinachem said it will upload the prospectus of the redecorated project Victoria Coast in Pok Fu Lam as early as this week, to offer 118 units by tender.

CK Asset (1113) plans to hand out Mid-Autumn festival shopping coupons to new buyers at The Coast Line in Yau Tong.

Following successful contract signing, buyers will be awarded HK$88,000 worth of Fortress gift coupons, which will be applicable to home appliances, health and beauty products.

Furthermore, CKA will distribute a box of mooncakes to the viewers who visit the show flats in Tsim Sha Tsui for festival blessings.

On the other side, the primary market will see more new homes. Mori in Tuen Mun aims to release the first price list soon and will put at least 139 flats for sale in the first batch.

Co-developed by Road King Infrastructure (1098) and Shenzhen Investment (0604), Mori will provide 693 units in total, with sizes ranging from 291 to 3,419 square feet, according to the prospectus.

In other news, the Elegant Court on 333 Tai Hang Road is put for an en-bloc sale, with a market valuation of HK$550 million, according to the appointed agency.

A luxury house Casa Bella in Kowloon Tong has been put up for sale by tender, with a market valuation of HK$150 million, or HK$24,000 per sq ft, the appointed agency said.

Elsewhere in Wan Chai, the old building in Sau Wa Fong was approved by the Lands Tribunal to enter a compulsory auction, with a reserve price of HK$136 million.

近期楼价持续回软，连地价亦级级跌，日前截标的啟德2A区2号及3号「巨无霸」住宅地终于顺利批出。由信和牵头财团以53.5亿力压5财团夺标，每方呎楼面地价约5392元，属市场估值范围之内，惟呎价创同区逾9年半新低纪录，同时对比去年12月同区另一幅批出住宅地低出约12%。

上述啟德住宅地于周一截标，当时吸引6间财团入标。地政总署昨日公布招标结果，由信和伙拍中国海外、鹰君及华人置业合组的财团，以53.5亿力压5财团夺标，每方呎楼面地价约5392元。其中，信和、鹰君及华人置业更是首次「插旗」啟德住宅地。

黄永光：对港前景充满信心

信和副主席黄永光表示，项目位置优越，配套完善，而且交通四通八达，为集团土地储备增添一幅上佳的地皮。他强调，集团对香港前景充满信心，全力支持。另外，集团非常高兴与伙伴中国海外、鹰君及华人置业投得上述用地。

黄永光续指，未来将兴建优质住宅项目，加上园境、绿色及智能家居设计，以及住客会所等设施，打造优质生活，贯彻可持续发展理念，建构更美好生活。

上述项目市场估值约44.65亿至59.54亿，每方呎估值约4500至6000元，批出地价属市场估值范围内。除中标的信和财团外，其餘入标财团包括长实、新地、恒基、会德丰地产、南丰集团。

呎价5392元创9年半新低

值得留意的是，是次呎价对比长实去年12月底以87.03亿投得的啟德2A区4号、5 (B) 号及10号合併地皮，每呎地价约6138元，低出约12%；若与2014年2月嘉华以29.388亿投得的啟德1I区2号地皮 (现已发展为嘉汇) 比较，当时每呎地价约5330元，意味是次地价重返9年半前水平。

有测量师表示，项目发展周期长，而且中标财团须兴建一系列社福及政府设施，再者在加息环境下，均影响发展商出价。

业界料落成呎价达1.8万

测量师预料，未来项目落成后呎价可售约1.7万至1.8万，形容地价属「进可攻、退可守」，即使未来数年楼市未有起色，相信项目仍会有合理利润。

另一测量师指出，楼价持续下跌，而且近年该区为新盘供应重镇，仍有不少项目尚待推出，再加上在息口高企环境下，均影响发展商出价，并趋向保守。虽然地价属市场预测范围，惟仍属低位水平。

恒基底价6.97亿夺大角咀旧楼

市区靚地新供应罕有，不少财团透过强拍途径增加土储；恒基近年积极扩展大角咀一带版图发展，昨日再下一城，成功以底价6.97亿投得大角咀道一列旧楼业权，未来将与毗邻项目合併发展，涉及可建总楼面约14万方呎，并主打上车盘，届时发展成利奥坊系列楼盘之一。

恒基併购多年的大角咀道177至191号，在7月底获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价为6.97亿；项目于昨日举行公开拍卖，由手持「1号牌」的恒基执行董事黄浩明，在未有其他竞争对手下以底价投得，成功统一业权发展。

频扩区内版图

黄浩明拍卖会后透露，上述项目会连同毗邻项目合併发展，换言之整个项目涉及大角咀道 173号至199号，总地盘面积扩展至约1.57万，若以地积比率约9倍重建发展计，涉及可建总楼面约14万方呎，预料将兴建中小型单位，主打上车盘，届时将发展成利奥坊系列楼盘之一，据了解，该项目为利奥坊第7期。

上述毗邻的万安街24至30号，该公司早于2021年9月以底价约2.7亿成功统一业权，料将发展成利奥坊第6期；黄浩明指，由于上述大角咀道及万安街地盘中间有后巷相隔，牵涉政府用地，因而未能合併发展，故将会分2期发展，上述两个项目最快2至3年后推出市场销售楼花。

发展成利奥坊第7期

另外，油塘湾「巨无霸」项目早前第三度批出补地价金额，黄浩明透露，集团就该项目补地价上诉当中，补地价金额对比首次批出时为低，认为「个市跌得快过佢 (补地价金额)」，希望今年内可以成事。另外，粉岭北3个项目则採用传统补地价方式进行。

昨日举行强拍的项目，位于大角咀道177至191号，由4幢6层高旧楼组成，每幢楼宇设有两道公用楼梯，早于1957年落成入伙，至今约66年楼龄。项目地契条款限制该地段只可用作非工业用途。该项目地盘面积约8995方呎，现规划为「住宅 (甲类)」，涉及可建总楼面约8万方呎。交通方面，步行至港铁太子站约10分鐘，而沿着大角咀道设有多种公共交通工具如小巴及巴士等。

上述项目将连同毗邻项目合併发展，地盘面积扩展至约1.57万，可建总楼面约14万方呎，并主打上车盘，届时将发展成利奥坊第7期。

Hong Kong developer Sino Land wins Kai Tak land tender with a US$676 million bid, a nine year-low, beating a crowded field of rivals

Bids were also submitted by Sun Hung Kai Properties, CK Asset Holdings, Wheelock, Nan Fung Group and Henderson Land

Analysts say the winning price was on the ‘low side’ and within ‘adjusted’ market expectations

A consortium led by Sino Land won a Hong Kong land tender for a site at Kai Tak with a bid of HK$5.3 billion (US$676 million), the lowest in nine years, which some analysts said was a conservative price as the city’s economy could stagnate in the near term.

Bids were also submitted by Sun Hung Kai Properties, CK Asset Holdings, Wheelock Properties, Nan Fung Group and Henderson Land this Monday, the last day of the tender period. The parcels of land, with an aggregate area of 145,303 sq ft, are located in Kai Tak, the site of Hong Kong’s former international airport. They went on sale by public tender on July 28.

A surveyor said the HK$5,392 per square foot land price was close to market expectations, but was a nine-year low compared to other land prices in the same district.

Analysts said given the level of the winning bid, the developer could still sell the housing units when construction is completed at current prices, should the economic environment show no improvement and were the property market to remain sluggish.

“There’s enough cushion for the developers to sell their project at a good price,” a surveyor said. “As for government coffers, yes the government may have a deficit but it should not be confused with a negative cash flow.”

“The government also does not have to keep selling parcels of land at a cheap price - there is no urgency for them to do that should interest rates keep rising,” the surveyor added. “They may also choose to develop subsidised homes on these sites instead of selling them. That is a good long-term investment and a wise way for the government to use its capital.”

HSBC analysts said last month Sino Land’s share price could react positively, if the company can replenish more of its land bank to strengthen its medium-term earnings growth visibility, as there was a growing risk of moderating sales based on existing run rate due to lower residential land bank within the portfolio.

“We are delighted that our consortium won this urban site with underground connection to the MTR station,” Daryl Ng, Deputy Chairman of Sino Land told the Post. “This is an excellent addition to our land bank. We have full confidence in Hong Kong and China, and will fully support quality and sustainable developments.”

The successful grant of the site was not affected by the withdrawal in August of the first starter home site at Yau Kom Tau, Tsuen Wan, which showed that developers were still actively competing for land, experts said.

Another surveyor said bidding was expected to be muted given the current market environment and site location.

“The site has many constraints and that developers would have to undertake the construction of a number of government facilities and a basement retail area,” the surveyor said. “Due to the high interest rates and increased construction costs, the property market is much different from December last year when CK Asset made its bid in Kai Tak.”

The Kai Tak Area 2A Site 2 and 3, close to Sung Wong Toi MTR station, is located close to the residential site acquired by CK Asset and a temporary public housing project. It has a total permissible gross floor area (GFA) of about 992,000 sq ft.

Under the conditions of sale, the purchaser must build an underground shopping street and various pedestrian links to proposed public housing developments in the neighbourhood.

The successful bidder must also construct various government accommodation, including a neighbourhood elderly centre, a hostel for mentally handicapped persons, a day activity centre, a district support centre for persons with disabilities and a boys’ home.

“The land value has decreased significantly over the eight months due to high interest rates, high construction costs and growing unsold housing units from existing supply,” the surveyor added.

The first surveyor expects the site to be developed into small and medium-sized residential units, and the project to be sold at around $15,000 per square foot after taking into account construction costs and a reasonable profit margin.

“The award price is within ‘adjusted’ market expectations,” another surveyor said. “It is still on a low side.”

The surveyor expects land prices in Hong Kong to remain soft and said the decline in property prices could continue in the coming months.

Recent land tenders have received tepid responses from developers, as Hong Kong’s property market creaks under the weight of high unsold inventory and rising interest rates.

Last month, a land tender in Yau Kom Tau, Tsuen Wan, received just a single bid from Grand Ming Group Holdings. The government eventually rejected the bid as the “tendered premium did not meet the government’s reserve price for the site”, according to the Lands Department.

First prices for Tuen Mun flats coming today

Road King Infrastructure (1098) will unveil a first price list for Mori in Tuen Mun today, with at least 139 homes being offered.

The low-density project might commence a first round of sales as early as this month, says the developer, and show flats will be opened soon.

Road King said Mori has received many inquiries from potential buyers, including local families and mainland talent arriving.

Mori comprises four blocks and 16 houses, to provide 693 units in total.

Elsewhere, CK Asset (1113) will put the last house at El Futuro in Sha Tin up for sale on Monday after the transaction was given up by an intending buyer despite an expected loss of HK$2.55 million in deposits.

Meanwhile, The Arles in Fo Tan sold three out of 11 units yesterday morning, collecting over HK$46 million, according to builder Centralcon Properties.

And with more new projects coming, a property agency expects the primary market can record 600 deals this month.

That estimated figure would be the equivalent of just half of the 1,204 transactions last month.

But more local banks are set to raise their capped rate of mortgage plans, which might deter people from buying homes.

Standard Chartered Hong Kong and Citibank Hong Kong are said to be increasing the cap by 0.5 percentage points on Monday following such an adjustment by Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Bank of China Hong Kong (2388) and Hang Seng Bank (0011).

The moves come with interbank borrowing costs remaining at high levels recently. The Hong Kong interbank offered rate rose across all maturities yesterday, with the mortgage-related, one-month rate up to 4.97 percent.

息口高企 8月港岛指标甲厦零成交

8月份港岛区指标甲厦未有任何买卖，有代理行认为，因息口高企，影响投资意慾，而租务则相对平稳。

据该行十大指标甲厦买卖，上月全月仅录两宗买卖成交，而港岛区多幢物业均未有成交，极为淡静。所录得两宗成交，均来自尖沙咀星光行。内地企业以2,950万元，售出星光行中层两个单位，以面积2,173平方呎计，呎价约13,576元，原业主2017年约3,911.4万元购入，持货约6年，帐面蚀约961.4万元。

慈善组织790万 购星光行1伙

此外，慈善组织「点滴是生命」，以790.2万元购入星光行19楼16室，建筑面积约878平方呎，呎价约9,000元。原业主2005年以364.4万元购入，帐面获利425.8万元或1.2倍。资料显示，「点滴是生命」现时租用星光行19楼同层邻近单位作办公室。

至于较大手商厦买卖，来自二綫商厦，柴湾东贸广场中层全层，面积约7,758平方呎，以约4,809万元成交，呎价约6,200元，项目连同两车位成交。据悉，该层楼面由资深投资者罗守辉持有，他于2019年以约5,900万元购入单位，持货5年转手，蚀约1,091万元离场，幅度近2成。消息称，买家为该层楼面租客，现转租为买。整体上，8月份写字楼买卖成交宗数录得约37宗，按月增多约37%，按年更增加约42%。

指标甲厦买卖静，该行代理认为，由于息口持续高企，对投资者来说不算吸引，加上业主普遍未有大幅降价，导致买卖极为淡静。

统一中心极高层全层 呎租38元

租务方面则相对平稳，核心区金鐘录数宗租务成交，如统一中心录得全层租务，涉及34楼全层，面积约20,489平方呎，以每呎约38元租出，与旧租金相若。另力宝中心二座中层单位，面积约1万平方呎，成交呎租约42元，属市价水平。另同区海富中心二座单位，面积约3,363平方呎，以每呎约42元租出。

该代理分析，由于息口仍处高位，短期内变化不大，相信投资者仍审慎，而用家入市比例会提高，惟仍难推高成交量，预计持续淡静。租务上，代理指近期租务活动平稳，而租金同样见底，相信企业仍有兴趣升级办公室，料租务较理想。

319宗工商铺买卖 按月升近3成

有代理资料显示，8月份共录得约319宗工商铺买卖成交，按月上升约27%。

该行统计，8月份市场仅录得约319宗工商铺买卖成交，涉及总金额约44.88亿元，对比7月份分别上升约27%及20%，按年同期对比，则未见有改善，分别较2022年同期少约6%及23%。月内工商铺买卖市况持续疲弱，8月份工商铺买卖成交量中，佔69%即约220宗为1,000万元以下的买卖成交，而当中7成来自工商物业，达157宗。而观乎8月份买卖成交宗数与其他月份大致相若，表面上，8月份成交走势有所回升，主要是7月份本身受暑假外游因素影响而令基数低，7月份买卖宗数仅录得250宗。

盛汇商铺2.13亿 购北角铺

该行指出，8月份买卖成交重回平均水平，亦意味着不少投资者已结束假期、重投工作，带动个别大额买卖成交得以顺利落实，其中以商铺类别最受追捧，买卖宗数由7月约58宗，跳升约38%至约80宗。其中铜锣湾霎东街15号 OLIV 基座部分，包括商铺及1至3楼，成交价约3亿元，新买家为悦兴地产发展有限公司董事罗守耀及其牙医太太邓嘉玲。而月内亦见资深铺位投资者再度大手入货炒热铺市，当中盛汇商铺基金以约2.13亿元购入北角英皇道165至175号公主大厦地下一篮子地铺及1楼全层，面积合共约12,975平方呎，成交呎价约17,000元，原业主为投资者杨奋彬，其于2009年以约1.14亿元购入上述物业，持货约14年帐面获利近1亿元。

该行代理分析，在过去3年间全球经济受疫情打击，復甦之期仍需多方面配合，而香港自年初解封后，投资者态度稍见积极，市场成交逐渐增多，价格亦见回升迹象，但对比以往旺市时仍有一段距离。暑假期间向来为投资市场淡季，加上今年为疫后第一次可以解封外游，令7及8月份市况比疫情期间及疫情前都为淡静。

整体而言工商铺市场买卖气氛陆续重拾正轨，政府亦不停研究有效刺激本土经济、商业及旅游的措施，预测暑假后投资者会密切关注市场走势，投资者及用家料会趁市况全面回升及圣诞新年长假前部署入市，预料1,000万元或以下的买卖成交会先起动，对第四季工商铺市况整体审慎乐观。

Mori's prices start at $3.1m

Road King Infrastructure (1098) yesterday unveiled the first price list of 140 flats at Mori in Tuen Mun, with prices starting from HK$9,168 per square foot, a fresh eight-year low for the district.

The 140 flats cost between HK$3.125 million and HK$8.24 million after discounts, or HK$9,168 to HK$12,336 per sq ft.

The discounted average price of HK$11,088 per sq ft is about 11 percent lower than prices for Grand Jete's Phase 2 in the same area, which was launched in March at HK$12,509 per sq ft.

Mori's initial discounted prices are up to 20 percent cheaper than new and old homes in the area, and could spark a buying spree in the New Territories, according to a property agency.

Grand Jeté's Phase 1 and 2, a collaborative effort between CK Asset (1113) and Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), have sold 702 apartments to date.

In Pok Fu Lam, Chinachem's Victoria Coast has released its sales brochure, and show flats will be open to the public soon. All 118 apartments in the development will be offered for sale through a tender process.

In Fo Tan, Centralcon Properties's The Arles sold a two-bedroom unit and a three-bedroom unit for a total of HK$26.2 million.

In Mid-levels West, High Peak, a prime residential project from Asia Standard International (0129), ITC Properties (0199) and CSI Properties (0497), sold a four-bedroom flat through a tender for HK$270 million.

In Kowloon City, K&K Property's Sutton is poised to release its initial price list next week. The project plans to introduce an 85 percent loan-to-value ratio mortgage option for prospective three-bedroom buyers.

In the secondary market, a three-bedroom flat in Lohas Park sold for HK$6.48 million or HK$9,529 per sq ft, the lowest price in the district so far this year.

Meanwhile, the site in Kai Tak won by a consortium led by Sino Land (0083) is expected to cost HK$10.5 billion to develop, according to partner Great Eagle (0041).

In the rental market, SHKP put 180 more flats at Townplace West Kowloon for rent.

In the luxury market, Hong Kong recorded 42 deals valued at over US$10 million (HK$78.29 million) last quarter, down by 16 percent yearly, according to another agency.

In other news, the Bank of East Asia (0023) will raise the ceiling on Hong Kong interbank offered rate-linked mortgages by 0.5 percentage points to 4.125 percent from Monday.

现时经济不景，惟中环区贵重物业仍然受捧，近日录大额铺位成交，高价出乎市场人士意料，区内车位推售亦随即获承接，买家皆为老牌家族成员，可见其实力雄厚。

中环中心车位连录承接

资深投资者「磁带大王」陈秉志减价逾20%推售中环中心车位，市场立即有反应，车位连录成交，其中B2层2个相连车位，以每个468万成交，新买家协成行家族成员；还有，B1层双号车位亦以550万成交，买家为九记牛腩负责人相关人士，九记牛腩为食肆名店，多年来均获米芝莲星级推介，座上客包括名人及明星。

业内人士指，上述买家可能是区内用家，协成行大本营设于中环，九记牛腩亦位于区内歌赋街，事实上，中环区内车位供应罕有，过往旺市时「一位难求」，实力买家把握淡市时入市。

巨铺呎价造价皆高企

中环德辅道中84至86号章记大厦地下及地库以3.7亿易手，呎价高达5万，新买家为恒生银行创办人之一利国伟家族及有关人士，据了解，新买家看中该巨铺中环罕有，面积大，银行、零售及食肆皆适宜。该巨铺地下面积约3163方呎，地库面积约4200方呎，合共7363方呎，平均呎价约5万。利国伟家族亦于2020年4月，以2.86亿买入中环永安集团大厦全层，平均呎价2.58万。

Tesla趁租平 转战荃湾甲厦环贸广场

包括写字楼及铺位 月租共45万元

甲厦空置率高，租客选择多，全新甲厦及超甲厦吸引租户搬迁。消息指，荃湾新甲厦环贸广场写字楼及铺位，获电动车品牌Tesla租用作搬迁。另外，中环国际金融中心一期及国际金融中心二期，相继录欧美金融机构承租作升级。

市场人士透露，荃湾沙咀道1号环贸广场低层3至7室，面积合共约5,740平方呎，以每呎约18元租出，每月租金约10万元，新租客为电动车龙头品牌Tesla，该品牌目前租用九龙湾国际展贸中心地下及楼下办公室，由于大业主将为物业拆卸重建，商户需寻找新办公室，相信Tesla看好荃湾区租金较便宜，而物业属全新，故决定租用。

8地铺料作陈列室 呎租近50元

据了解，是次Tesla除了租用办公室外，亦租用物业地下8个铺位，面积合共约7,045平方呎，月租约35万元，呎租近50元，料作品牌陈列室之用。

环贸广场为甲厦重建项目，由亿京发展，项目去年落成，资料显示，环贸广场录得约10宗买卖成交，平均呎价约1万元，涉及以中、小型单位为主，面积介乎约543至2,125平方呎，售价由535至2,141万元不等，每平方呎造价介乎9,108至10,735元。由于销情仍较慢，发展商把部分单位转作收租，并成功吸引大型汽车品牌租用。

另外，消息指中环国际金融中心二期低层13至15室，面积约4,632平方呎，以约55.6万元租出，呎租约120元。据悉，新租客为英资金融机构，原租用同区万宜大厦4,000呎单位，是次租用国际金融中心二期，面积相若，主要可作物业升级。

爱彼錶租 The Henderson 全层

其次，同区国际金融中心一期38楼全层，面积约16,247平方呎，成交呎租约120元，涉及每月租金约195万元。新租客为美资金融机构，原租用同区盈置大厦两层楼面，如今租用国际金融中心全层，既可整合业务，同时提升办公室质素。

该层楼面原由瑞士老牌私人银行宝盛集团租用，集团原本租用中环国际金融中心一期3层楼面。2021年该集团决定预租鰂鱼涌太古坊二座4层楼面作搬迁，可节省租金支出，本年中，其中一层楼面获中资科企巨头字节跳动租用作扩充，现另一层则获美资金融机构承租，反映超甲厦仍属国际企业首选。

事实上，近期中环超甲厦租务稍加快，如恒地 (00012) 旗下 The Henderson 明年初落成，近日亦获瑞士制錶品牌爱彼錶 (Audemars Piguet) 租用全层约1.2万平方呎楼面，作为其AP House及香港办公室之用，市场估计呎租约120元。

New Tuen Mun flats are heavily oversubscribed

Flats on sale at Mori in Tuen Mun received a warm response and were heavily oversubscribed at the weekend despite major lenders' mortgage rate hikes.

The project, which is being jointly developed by Road King Infrastructure (1098) and Shenzhen Investment (0604), was 16 times oversubscribed after attracting more than 2,500 checks for the 140 units in the first batch of sales.

Homes cost from HK$3.13 million to HK$8.24 million after discounts, or HK$9,168 to HK$12,336 per square foot.

The average discounted price of HK$11,088 per sq ft is about 11.4 percent cheaper than the first price list of Grand Jeté's Phase 2 in the same area in March but slightly higher than that of THE CARMEL launched in January 2019.

The second batch and the sales arrangement will be announced soon, the developers said, adding that they had partnered with a mortgage broker to offer a variety of mortgage packages with mortgage rates as low as 3.625 percent and up to 2.8 percent for a cash rebate.

With market attention on the primary market, second-hand home sales remained sluggish with only six deals recorded in the 10 biggest estates over the weekend, an agency said.

That was seven deals or 53.8 percent fewer than the previous weekend.

An agent from the agency said rising mortgage rates and the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting also weighed on sentiment.

China Construction Bank (Asia), a relatively small player in the mortgage market, is to lift the mortgage rate by 1.5 percentage points to 5.125 percent today, meaning a nearly 20-percent rise in the monthly repayment for new loan applicants.

That will be much higher than the 0.5 percentage point hike by major banks like The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Bank of China Hong Kong (2388).

The new rate of 4.125 percent will be applied to new loans for existing homes from today and uncompleted homes from September 30.

PGIM invests in Hong Kong, mainland China, Australia rental property markets, betting on their strong fundamentals, discounted assets

There is a growing need for rental housing especially in cities where the cost of residential buying has become really high, according to PGIM

The property markets in mainland China, Australia and Hong Kong are in different stages of the real estate cycle, but have high rental growth potential

PGIM Real Estate has invested US$400 million in the housing rental markets in Hong Kong, mainland China and Australia, as the US asset manager sees huge growth in these segments and opportunities to snap up assets at deep discounts amid a challenging business environment.

“The living sector has increasingly become a big thing for us,” said Benett Theseira, managing director and head of Asia-Pacific, at PGIM Real Estate. “Increasingly we see this growing need for rental housing, and especially in cities where the cost of residential buying has become really high. And because of that we see this growing need for residential rental housing in cities like Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and in Sydney and Melbourne in Australia.”

“Hence the opportunity to invest in that provides a good investment return and also the opportunity to provide a product to this demographic of young professionals … so we can contribute to creating a good quality product and affordable product for them, which is why we went well into the sector,” he added.

In mainland China, PGIM Real Estate has partnered with a domestic rental flat operator to acquire a 19-storey purpose-built flat building in Shanghai. The property comprises over 500 flats and provides common areas and facilities including a gymnasium and a resident’s lounge.

In Australia, PGIM has formed a joint venture with a property developer to develop a portfolio of residential properties for rent in major cities to ease a hugely undersupplied housing market. The partnership aims to have a portfolio of as many as 1,250 flats, according to PGIM.

Two seed assets have been acquired, one in Brisbane and the other in Sydney, and the two neighbourhoods were chosen for their status as employment and entertainment hubs. The assets have about 300 small flats each.

Those acquisitions followed deals in Hong Kong, where PGIM acquired two hotels last year with the aim of converting them into co-living flats this year.

The Rosedale Hotel has been converted to Weave Studios Kowloon West with 435 fully furnished studio flats over 29 floors, while the Travelodge Central has been converted to Dash Living on Hollywood. Located near the Olympic MTR station, the Weave Studios property launched operations in May and is now 80 per cent occupied. Dash Living on Hollywood, which opened in July, is now about 30 per cent occupied, PGIM’s Theseira said.

The three property markets are in different stages in the real estate cycle, but share one crucial element that made them attractive – high rental growth.

In mainland China, for example, the median house prices in major cities were about 30 times the average annual household income. The current uncertainty in the property market in the world’s second-largest economy is also spurring the growth rate in the rental market to high single digits, Theseira said. The turmoil is also spurring asset owners to offer properties at a 20 per cent to 30 per cent discount in some cases.

“Discounts are not uncommon,” Theseira said. “And certainly focusing on the strong demand for rental housing is where we see the opportunity. We are picking the right assets that will benefit from the recovery in value when market conditions improve.”

Meanwhile, Hong Kong remains one of the world’s most unaffordable housing markets and the current high interest rate environment, currently at levels last seen in February 2008, is also making potential homebuyers cautious and they are instead opting to rent.

Australia, with its strong immigration growth, high interest rates and median home prices about 10 times household income is also forecast to see rental market growth of high single digits, Theseira said.

“We found that the structural drivers were very favourable, particularly in China and Australia,” he said.

In the short-term, Theseira said Singapore is another rental market that the group finds attractive and with monetary authorities likely to start easing by the latter part of 2024, the group is also looking to be more active in its investment in the region.

In mainland China, the co-living segment is a “highly viable property segment”, a property agent said.

“Rental housing properties have continued to gain traction at a resilient pace in mainland China over the past few years, underpinned by China’s favourable demographics, stretched housing affordability, as well as people’s growing awareness and acceptance of renting,” the agent said. “In addition to those robust demand fundamentals, China’s rental housing sector has also benefited from the country’s encouraging policy support including dedicated land supply, tax incentives and financial support.”

Hong Kong home price seen falling by 5 per cent after 7 major lenders including HSBC, Standard Chartered set to increase mortgage rates

The effective mortgage rate for new loans from HSBC, Hang Seng, BOCHK, Standard Chartered and BEA will rise by 50 basis points on Monday

The higher mortgage rates will pressurise home prices to fall by 3 to 5 per cent in the next few months, property agents say

Hong Kong home prices are set to fall by about 5 per cent by the end of this year, analysts say, after seven major lenders, including the three note-issuing banks – HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and Bank of China (Hong Kong) – said they will raise their mortgage rates as early as Monday.

The trio, together with Hang Seng Bank and Bank of East Asia from will increase mortgage rates for new loan applications by 50 basis points on Monday, while Citibank will make a similar increase on Wednesday (September 20), the lenders’ spokesmen said in a reply to the Post’s inquiries.

The effective mortgage rate for new loans by these six lenders, which control 80 per cent of the mortgage market, will be increased from 3.625 per cent to 4.125 per cent. Existing home loans will not be affected.

The payment on a typical HK$5 million (US$643,000) mortgage over 30 years will increase by 6 per cent after the mortgage rate increases, or by HK$1,430 per month to HK$24,232, according to calculations made by a mortgage broker.

China Construction Bank (Asia) went even further in increasing its mortgage rates for new loans. It plans a 1.5 percentage point rise starting Monday, from 3.625 per cent to 5.125 per cent, according to the mortgage broker which was citing market sources. The Post’s calls to the lender, which has a 0.3 per cent share in Hong Kong’s mortgage market, went unanswered.

“The mortgage rate rise is going to further hit the already weak property market in Hong Kong. High borrowing costs will discourage people from buying new homes at the moment,” a property agent said.

“The increase in mortgage rates will lead home prices further down by 3 to 5 per cent in the next few months.”

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices declined for a third straight month in July to a six-month low, as the city’s property market continued to struggle in an elevated interest-rate environment. Prices fell 1.1 per cent month on month in July, the biggest drop this year, according to an index compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department.

The total number of property transactions – including new and second-hand homes, commercial buildings and car parks – dropped for a fourth consecutive month in July, declining 7.6 per cent from June to 4,777, according to a report released by a property agency last month. That is the lowest figure in seven months.

“It is highly likely the home prices will decrease over 3 per cent in the following months, offsetting all gains this year,” an agent said. “The home price this year will be flat this year when compared with a year earlier.”

A prolonged high-interest rate environment, slow income growth in Hong Kong and falling property prices in mainland China are likely to keep affordability pressures beyond this year, Goldman Sachs (Asia) analysts Gurpreet Singh Sahi, Wing Huang and Simon Cheung wrote in a report on Friday.

“The latest raise would pressure affordability further,” the Goldman Sachs analysts said. “Hence, we reverse our call for a price improvement in the residential market this year to a flat outcome versus an increase of 5 per cent outlook before.”

Goldman Sachs also expects home prices to remain flat in the following two years and to increase only in 2026 by 4 per cent.

The plans by major lenders to increase mortgage rates comes ahead of the US Federal Reserve meeting later in the week, where analysts widely expected a pause in its rate rising campaign, given the rosier inflation picture.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority in July raised the city’s base rate, lifting it for the 11th time in the past 17 months by a total of 5.25 percentage points, in lockstep with the Federal Reserve. Hong Kong’s monetary policy follows that of the United States, as the city’s currency has been pegged to the US dollar since 1983.

Commercial banks raised their prime rate five times since September last year by a total of 0.875 percentage points. BOCHK, HSBC Holdings, and its subsidiary Hang Seng Bank now have their prime rates at 5.875 per cent, while those at Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of East Asia, Citibank, and CCB Asia are at 6.125 per cent. These levels were last seen in December 2007.

“Hong Kong lenders may still increase the prime rate this week as the interbank rate is high,” the mortgage broker said. “The US may also further increase the interest rate in November,” he added, reflecting the market expectations that authorities will keep at least one rate hike on the table.

The one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate (Hibor), the benchmark for mortgages, rose to 5 per cent on Friday, compared with 4.7 per cent last month and 4.2 per cent at the beginning of this year, according to Hong Kong Association of Banks.

The three-month Hibor, which is linked to corporate loans, stood at 5 per cent on Friday, while the six-month Hibor reached 5.18 per cent, and the 12-month Hibor advanced to 5.4 per cent on Friday. All three benchmarks are 50 basis points higher than three months ago.

“We have decided to revise our mortgage rate following a recent review, which takes into account a range of factors, including Hibor, our competitiveness and market pricing,” a spokesman of HSBC said.

Hong Kong office landlords grapple with ‘irreversible’ hybrid work trend amid high vacancy rates, supply glut

Flex space provider IWG says it is adding locations rapidly in the Greater Bay Area as property owners seek to capitalise on the trend

IWG works with Hysan Development, and major landlords Hongkong Land and Swire Properties also have their fingers in the co-working pie

Hybrid work arrangements are likely to persist and become irreversible in the foreseeable future, a trend that is spurring landlords and asset owners to convert traditional office spaces into flexible offices, according to the CEO of IWG, one of the world’s largest flex desk service providers.

Globally, companies and organisations are allowing as much as half of their staff to adopt flexible work arrangements, including some combination of working from home, working at a desk in a remote co-working space and coming into a traditional office, said IWG CEO Mark Dixon.

The trend is driving IWG to add new flex space in Hong Kong, across the Greater Bay Area and beyond, Dixon said.

“IWG is growing its network both in Hong Kong and globally at a rapid rate as the demand for hybrid working accelerates,” he said. “Property owners are seeking to capitalise as businesses of all sizes embrace the model, and we can see this trend in our network growth numbers. In the first half of this year, we added more than 400 locations globally.”

In Hong Kong IWG operates 21 locations under the brands Regus, Spaces, Signature, HQ and OpenOffice, with four new locations added so far this year.

The Switzerland-headquartered company reported revenue of £1.7 billion (US$2.1 billion) in the first half of the year, a record-high in its 30-year history and a 14 per cent improvement from £1.4 billion in the same period in 2022. Profit, meanwhile, grew 2.5 times to £94 million, according to its interim results.

In the next two years, 21 per cent of office tenants in Hong Kong are likely to downsize their footprint, according to a property agency’s poll, and the increasing adoption of hybrid work schemes comes at a challenging time for the city’s office property market.

The vacancy rate in Hong Kong’s prime office space hit a record high of 15.1 per cent towards the end of August, according to the agency. Monthly office rental rates have declined 30.3 per cent to HK$54.70 (US$6.98) per square foot from the high struck in January 2019, when office vacancies were at a record low of 3.5 per cent, according to the property agency.

Meanwhile, another 3 million sq ft of office space is expected to become available in the second half of 2023, the agency said.

In co-working spaces, tenants typically share facilities such as pantries, washrooms and meeting rooms with other tenants. Organisations and individuals can subscribe for memberships or lease space, typically with more flexibility than traditional leases, such as shorter duration of tenancy.

Demand is strong across the Greater Bay Area, Dixon said. IWG partnered with Hysan Development in 2022 to set up more co-working spaces in cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Foshan, in addition to Hong Kong.

Hongkong Land and Swire Properties, two of the largest commercial landlords in Hong Kong, also run their own co-working businesses.

“There are many reasons why [the hybrid trend] is sort of irreversible,” Dixon said. “It’s what people want, and it’s what companies want at the same time.”

Co-working spaces let companies provide collegial spaces for workers at locations that are closer to home or more accessible than the typical central business district. “It’s much more convenient, and people genuinely want to go and work in an office,” he said. “They want to work with other people. But what they don’t want to do is to spend two hours a day commuting.”

In Hong Kong for example, situating the entire staff in Central would be expensive, so providing another location option, or splitting the workforce among multiple locations, could cut real estate expenses by as much as half, he said.

“For companies, they can hire people over a wider area and they can get more loyalty from many members of a team if they can work in a more flexible way,” Dixon said.

However, Hong Kong’s office property market may see less of an impact from the hybrid trend than other cities, according to another property agent.

“Hybrid caters to the needs of workers who may also have typically longer commutes and more expansive living conditions than those in Hong Kong,” the agent said.

“We expect demand for flexible office space to continue in Hong Kong, albeit at a slowing pace in the medium term. A form of hybrid exists for many companies in Hong Kong, but the extent of the direct impact on office space is considerably smaller than that of other global markets.”

Moreover, while lower costs and higher flexibility are attractive, hybrid arrangements have pitfalls, the agent said. These include concerns about productivity and the nurturing of company culture, as well as the junior staff lacking direct support and guidance from their supervisors.

今年以来，甲厦以「升级搬迁」主导，近期中环国际金融中心连录承租，租客主要为金融机构，由港岛其他甲厦迁至该超级甲厦。

全层月租195万

其中，国际金融中心一期38楼全层，面积约16247方呎，以每月约195万元租出，新租客美资金融机构，原租用同区盈置大厦2层楼面，现时可整合业务，迁至同区超级甲厦，以提升办公室质素。该层楼面原由瑞士老牌私人银行宝盛集团租用，集团原本租用中环国际金融中心一期3层楼面，2021年决定预租鰂鱼涌太古坊二座4层楼面作搬迁，以节省租金支出。

平均呎租约120元

还有，中环国际金融中心二期低层13至15室，面积约4632方呎，以每月约55.6万元租出，呎租约120元，新租客为英资金融机构，原租用同区万宜大厦一个约4000方呎单位，是次迁至国际金融中心二期，虽然面积相若，提高写字楼质素。

今年4月，字节跳动以每呎约120元租用国际金融中心一期37楼全层，涉及楼面约2万方呎，月租约240万，字节跳动在2020年6月进驻香港，租用铜锣湾时代广场一个面积约3000方呎的单位，签下3年租约。字节跳动为中资科企巨头，是短片分享平台抖音及其国际版TikTok的母公司。

中环全新超甲厦 机构加快洽租

今明两年核心区中环将有2幢全新超甲厦落成，随着落成日期接近，大厦租务查询亦加快，预计可成大型机构搬迁的对象。

据一间外资代理行报告中指出，6月份整体甲级写字楼市场录得121,000平方呎负净吸纳量。中环的空置率于6月底升至9.4%，尖沙咀空置率则回落至10.7%。写字楼租金方面，则按月下跌0.5%。主要分区市场中，湾仔/铜锣湾和尖沙咀租金分别微升0.1%和0.2%，而中环租金下跌1%。

整体租务市场平稳，而中环将有全新超甲厦落成，近期租务查询及成交稍加快。恒地 (00012) 旗下中环美利道商业项目 The Henderson，继佳士德及私募基金凯雷 (CARLYLE) 后，The Henderson 亦获瑞士制錶品牌爱彼 (Audemars Piguet) 及国际画廊将会承租，其中爱彼将租用全层约1.2万平方呎楼面，作为其AP House及香港办公室之用。市场人士估计，成交呎租约120元。

The Henderson 出租率近5成

恒地发言人早前表示，中环空置率上升，今年开关后租客活动转活，企业对新项目有兴趣及需求，相信 The Henderson 于2024年中入伙时出租率会进一步提升，而目前出租率，已升至近5成。集团指，The Henderson 全幢只会有20至30个租客，现拣选认同集团理念的合适租客，而租金一般会视乎市场供求及经济环境而定，但相信项目地理位置及设计优越，再配合可持续发展策略，将会受租户欢迎。

The Henderson 楼高36层，每层约1.2万至1.5万平方呎，包括地面和5层地库，总楼面面积约46.5万平方呎，去年起进行招租，拍卖行佳士得租用4层，涉约5万平方呎，作集团在港首个常设拍卖中心和艺廊。另外，国际投资公司凯雷集团则租用约2万平方呎楼面。

至于附近另一幢超甲厦，长实旗下中环长江集团中心二期将于今年落成，近日加快洽商。消息指，目前多层楼面正获国企洽租，涉及逾10层楼面，面积合共约20万平方呎，正获工银洽租。据了解，是次洽租楼层外，项目提供一个约6,000平方呎地铺，料作集团分行之用。工银目前正租用同区花园道3号多层楼面作香港总部，而该厦亦获命名为「中国工商银行大厦」，预计若成功租用长江集团中心二期，将把同区租用楼面整合迁入。

长江集团中心二期 提供55万呎楼面

长实旗下和记大厦重建项目，长江集团中心二期料今年落成。项目楼高41层，总面积达约55万平方呎，标準办公室楼层面积约17,300平方呎，项目分为东、西两座，并提供185个车位。早前因受疫情封关影响，项目年初起进行招租，暂时落实租务仅约两宗，包括内地联合能源集团，租用约8,500平方呎楼面。

分析指，今年为甲厦供应高峰期，令甲厦空置率高企，而中环区始终是最核心商业地段，地区出现全新超甲厦项目，仍非常有吸引力，令不少大型企业，有兴趣迁入。由于租金现处相对低水平，租客更愿意以较低水成本迁入中环全新甲厦项目，料随着物业将近落成，租务活动势加快。

物业由资深投资者罗守辉持有，他近期加快放售物业，近日亦沽出柴湾东贸广场全层商厦。

葵涌新都会广场 享地利配套齐

葵涌新都会广场最大优势，是连接港铁站兼有大型商场，配套极为齐全。

近年葵涌区渐转型，不少旧式工厦活化成商厦，惟配套上欠佳，或偏离港铁站。新都会广场为葵芳地标，两座商厦基座为大型商场，而商场设行人天桥，接驳葵芳港铁站，步程仅需3至5分鐘，另商场另一入口，门口有巴士及小巴站，当中有巴士前往中环及湾仔，非常方便。另外，大厦亦有停车场。

生活配套方面，新都会广场多层提供大量餐厅、商店及戏院等，应有尽有，另新都会广场亦连接葵涌广场商场，有价廉物美的饮食及时装可供上班人士行逛。

两座设计 拥甲厦水平

新都会广场由新地 (00016) 发展，物业于1993年落成，设有两座商厦项目，1座由大业主持有收租，另2座业权已分散。物业拥甲厦水平，周边发展成熟。写字楼入口设于2楼，有车路直达入口，相当方便。每层设有4部升降机，主要分两个大堂，供高层及低层用户使用。

已卖散的2座商厦，楼高46层，写字楼层由7楼起，全层面积约1.6万平方呎，每层设有约12个单位 (视乎楼层而定)。室内柱位大部分靠边，间隔灵活。室内开则呈八角形，部分单位设两边窗，景观相对开扬另部分单位长方形间隔，实用率高。

景观方面，物业四周末有大型建筑物，景观开扬，一面望向运动场景及山景，另一边远眺葵涌货柜码头，非常舒适。

用户上，大厦不乏知名机构，包括佔用16楼的德永佳 (00321)，集团从事针织布及棉纱之产销及整染、便服销售及汽车及发电机之维修，另8楼为大眾银行。此外，大厦不少用户为电子及鐘錶业，另亦有多层作医务所。

买卖方面，去年9月，物业3507室，面积约2,659平方呎，以约3,000万元成交，呎价约11,282元。今年大厦录3宗买卖，对上一宗为7月，物业1907室，面积约2,045平方呎，成交价约2,009万元，呎价跌破1万元，涉约9,827元。

恒地滨海街旧楼 今强拍底价63亿

恒地 (00012) 及太古地产 (01972) 收购的鰂鱼涌滨海街16至94号连同英皇道983至987A号旧楼，将会在今日上午进行强拍，底价约63.1亿元，料属历来最大宗的强拍。

根据鰂鱼涌分区计划大纲核准图，该土地现划为「住宅 (甲类)」用途，佔地约43,881平方呎。项目原拟发展2幢32层高 (包括7层地库) 的商厦，但遭城规会拒绝，其后发展商变阵发展住宅，并于去年3月获屋宇署批准兴建2幢28层高 (另设3层基座及2层地库) 的的商住大厦，并设有住户康乐设施，涉及的住用总楼面约36.83万平方呎，而非住用楼面则涉约7.24万平方呎。

商厦市场淡静，用家趁势出手，「小巴大王」马亚木沽售上环信德中心招商局大厦28层全层，作价7.78亿买家为招商局能源运输股份有限公司，物业将作为自用。

上址为28楼全层，建筑面积25395方呎，平均呎价30636元，属该厦近年新高，亦创信德中心分层最大金额成交纪录，上述以买卖公司股分承接，买家为招商局能源运输股份有限公司。

买家招商局能源运输

根据该公司公告指，招商局能源运输在港员工数量，从2013年的129人增加到目前的334人，持有招商局大厦32楼自有物业20835方呎外，还租用了招商局大厦其他楼层共47098方呎。

将员工集中起来办公

办公地点分散在多楼层，管理较不便，购置同一幢办公楼整层物业，将分散在多层员工集中起来办公，有利于加强公司管理，进一步改善企业形象，增强员工归属感和在港发展的信心。

马亚木于1996年12月以3.01546亿购入上址，持货27年，帐面获利4.76454亿，物业升值1.57倍。

恒基等63.1亿夺鰂鱼涌旧楼 底价史上最贵打造地标商住物业

港岛区住宅地新供应罕有，由恒基及太古地产合作併购鰂鱼涌旧楼，昨举行拍卖，成功以底价63.1亿投得，金额史上最高。发展商指，以打造地标商住物业，无论是兴建上车盘或较大单位都有一定需求。

上述项目位于鰂鱼涌滨海街16至94号及英皇道983至987A号，于上月初获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价63.1亿，是有史以来最贵。项目于昨日举行公开拍卖，由手持「1号牌」的恒基执行董事黄浩明，在未有其他竞争对手下以底价投得，成功统一业权发展。

料6年后推出市场

黄浩明于拍卖会后透露，是次拍卖底价是法庭参考早前市况数据而定，与目前市况有脱节，惟集团已持有逾90%业权，故须完成整个交易，认为该价钱并不反映整个项目併购成本。项目与太古地产合作，届时打造地标商住物业，惟目前研究开则中，最快明年中可动工，料6年后推出市场。

黄浩明指，高息环境对併购旧楼有影响，由于集团拥有不少农地待补地价，未来会继续持之以恆、透过不同方式补充土地储备，如收购旧楼或竞投政府土地、农地补地价等。

恒基及太古地产表示，项目整个收购过程历时超过十年，很高兴昨日终于能成功完成收购。现时计划将项目重建发展作商住用途，可建楼面约44万方呎。由于项目地点优越，位处成熟的商业区，因此相信无论是兴建上车盘，或较大单位都会有一定需求，将仔细研究。

上述项目位于鰂鱼涌滨海街16至94号及英皇道983至987A号，地盘面积约4.39万方呎，按上述强拍底价计，平均每方呎楼面地价约12951元。

黄浩明指，拍卖底价是法庭参考早前市况数据而定，与目前市况有脱节；而项目可建楼面约44万方呎，未来将打造地标商住物业。

宏安鸭脷洲旧楼批强拍 底价逾1.37亿

宏安密密扩大鸭脷洲併购项目版图发展，去年申请强拍的鸭脷洲花洲大楼，最新获土地审裁处批出强拍令，底价为1.37122亿，对比去年申请时估值1.1939亿，高出14.9%。

餘下2物业未收购

据土地审裁处文件显示，花洲大楼位于鸭脷洲平澜街5B号、鸭脷洲大街21及23号，宏安于去年2月申请强拍，当时已持有约83.33%业权，餘下3个单位未能成功收购，最新则增持至逾90%业权，餘下1个地铺及阁楼并未成功收购。

可建总楼面1.64万方呎

上址地盘面积1833方呎，若以地积比率9倍重建发展，可建总楼面约16493方呎。现为一幢5层高商住物业，地下为商铺，楼上为住宅，共涉16伙住宅单位，该旧楼早于1965年落成，迄今楼龄约58年。

都会大学10亿洽购红磡酒店 投资者罗守弘持有房间数目433个

都会大学年初表示计划买酒店作为学生宿舍，市场消息透露，该大学最新向裕泰兴家族成员罗守弘洽购旗下红磡芜湖街酒店，涉资约10亿，项目拥有433个房间，项目进入尽职审查阶段。

市场消息透露，都会大学自从计划购酒店后，终于在九龙区找到目标，位于芜湖街84至102号一幢新落成酒店，由裕泰兴创办人「九叔」罗肇唐长子、本身为建筑师的投资者罗守弘持有，将旗下红茶馆酒店及比邻地盘重建，楼高16层，总楼面6.6万方呎，提供433间客房，平均房间面积约150方呎，若以洽购价约10亿计算，每个房间涉资约231万。

房间涉资231万

知情人士透露，双方基本上就买卖有共识，都会大学正就该项目进入尽职审查阶段。

本报就上述消息向都会大学查询，发言人回应，都大正物色合适的物业作学生宿舍，以丰富学生的校园生活，并提供宿位让更多非本地生及交换生到校就读，增加与本地学生的交流机会，提升都大的学习气氛及促进校园国际化，宿舍的选址及筹备工作正在进行中。

有代理则透露，今番不论地点及涉及银码，适合都会大学要求，该大学希望在九龙区找到目标，但区内供应有限，部分涉资银码过分巨大，未合大学要求，今次芜湖街项目大小适中，很适合。

发言人：正物色合适物业

都会大学早前亦洽购葵涌圳边街15至19号旭逸酒店，项目楼高20层，总楼面约11.54万方呎，拥有160个房间，洽购价4.3亿，每个房涉资约269万，呎价4962元，房间虽宽敝，但路途遥远，据了解，至今尚未落实交易。

都会大学校长林群声今年2月表示，计划今年内购入九龙区酒店，再改建学生宿舍，目标提供300至400个宿位，主要向内地生提供住宿，以及增加学生做交换生机会，由酒店改装的宿舍可以成为学生活动中心，同时让宿生及非宿生举办活动，作为都大学生的聚脚点。

邓成波家族放售 西贡工厦5幢叫价14亿

邓成波家族旗下西贡5幢工厦放售，有外资代理行代理表示，西贡康定路1号、2号、6号、7号及9号5座全幢工厦，意向书截止日期为11月16日，现时叫价为14亿，平均每呎约3655元，买家可购入全数或个别独立全幢。

佔地近1.3万呎

该代理表示，该项目现状为5座全幢工业物业，佔地约129526方呎，每座总楼面由53138至100583方呎，楼高3至4层，买家可考虑改装成冻仓、迷你仓、数据中心或汽车相关用途等，以提升资产价值。

可申请重建住宅

另一方面，物业地带被划为「住宅 (戊类) 1」，可向城规会申请重建住宅项目。业主已获城规会批准发展社福设施 (安老院)，提供1127个舍牀位，涉及楼面约25.1万方呎，因此，买家亦可考虑补地价重建安老院项目。

该代理续说，过去数年工业物业供应紧张，空置率长期处低水平，租金稳定，跑赢其他资产类别，不少优质全幢工厦均被外资基金或资深投资者承接，盘源稀缺。此项目5座全幢高规格工业大厦是次全数放售，买家可一次性购入完整工业群，另一方面，由于项目已获批社会福利设施 (安老院) 发展，长远亦可重建，进一步释放土地潜力，进可攻退可守。

石门2官地发展商业 增楼面120万呎

沙田石门近年转型为新商业区，政府近日再物色到区内2幅官地改划作商业用途，预计合共将新增逾120万平方呎楼面供应，料可兴建成大型商厦项目。

石门属于继火炭之后沙田第2个工业区，佔地约10.8万平方呎，政府多年前已经将区内规划用途由工业改为商贸，以推动转型，特别是在2011年至2014年间推出4幅商贸用地，并陆续建成商厦，加速了整区转型，带动该区就业及商业氛围。

根据规划署完成的《2020年全港工业用地分区研究报告》指，石门区内现存11幢工厦，另有1幢已经完成改划成办公室等用途。在区内工厦最常见的用途为仓库，佔近6成楼面，其次为办公室用途，亦涉及近27%楼面，而作为制造业或工作坊的用途则只佔4.2%，反映区内工业已经相对式微。

安心街以北 地积比9.5倍

为了增加市场上的商业地供应，并且推动石门转型成为商业区，规划署近日再物色在安心街2幅官地，将改划作为商业用途，合共将提供约122.7万平方呎楼面供应。

该2幅用地均位于安心街，亦即是碧涛花园的后方，其中1幅安心街以北用地，佔地约8.6万平方呎，现时属于「政府、机构或社区」用途，规划署提出改划成商业用途，以地积比率9.5倍发展，可建楼面达81.8万平方呎，属于区内较罕有的大型商业地，建筑高限为130米 (主水平準以上，下同)。

2地均需设政府机构 社区设施

至于另1幅安心街以南用地，规模相对较小，佔地仅4.3万平方呎，现划为「休憩用地」地带，同样拟改划成商业用途，可建楼面约41万平方呎。2幅用地同样将会设有政府、机构及社区设施，而安心街以北用地更须附设公眾停车场。

事实上，近年区内有不少新商厦落成，包括比邻港铁石门站的安群街1号及3号2幅商贸地皮，由发展商亿京夺得后，继而发展成综合写字楼及商场的商用物业，即为京瑞广场 1及2期，总楼面接近80万平方呎。

至于新地 (00016) 于2016年以约6.7亿元投得的安耀街商贸地，每平方呎楼面地价约3,886元，现时已经发展成1幢27层高的商厦，涉及楼面约17.4万平方呎，并且已经于2020年落成。

京瑞广场造价 2年下调7%

石门在过去几年有不少新商厦落成，其中京瑞广场 1、2期属于区内指标商厦，目前呎价大约9,000至1万元左右，过较过去几年跌7%至10%左右。

京瑞广场 1、2期属于2015年、2016年落成的新商厦，均已经由亿京分拆出售。据EPRC经济地产库资料显示，该厦过去一年平均呎价约9,781元，但较2021年至2022年时期平均呎价约1.05万元相比，低出大约7%。例如，京瑞广场 低层K及J室，面积合共约1,651平方呎，在今年中以约1,625万元沽出，呎价约9,843元，原业主在2015年以约1,200万元购入该2个单位，持货8年，升值逾3成。

至于京瑞广场二期由于位置距离港铁石门站较京瑞广场一期为远，故此楼价亦相对较低，据EPRC经济地产库显示，过去一年平均呎价约8,671元左右。

W LUXE连平台 呎价高见1.5万

石门区内最近商厦则为2020年落成的 W LUXE，在过去一年平均呎价约1.25万元，大部分属于细单位成交，面积介乎约423至1,105平方呎不等，售价介乎460万至1,680万元，当中高层S5室商厦单位，楼面面积约1,105平方呎，连平台约245平方呎，呎价约15,204元，为该项目自2021年4月以来成交呎价新高。

Prices of flats at Sutton in Kowloon look competitive

A first price list covering 31 flats at Sutton in Kowloon City, with the cheapest ones at HK$5.99 million after discounts, has been released by K&K Property.

The average discounted price is HK$18,488 per square foot - about 25 percent lower than the first batch at nearby Allegro that were launched in May last year.

The 31 homes with areas from 379 to 904 sq ft are priced from HK$5.99 million to HK$19.3 million after discounts, or from HK$15,730 to HK$21,360 per sq ft.

The developer claimed the selling price is HK$2,112 or 10 percent below the average costs of HK$20,600 per square foot, so it may raise prices by 5 to 10 percent in future batches.

Sales will take place within the month, and K&K Property will keep up to half of the flats for rental.

The developer purchased the 92-flat project for HK$1.14 billion, or more than HK$13,500 per sq ft, last year before spending HK$120 million renovating the six-year-old development.

A property agent expects half of the buyers will be investors and that rents might reach HK$70 per sq ft, meaning a 4-5 percent rental return.

In Ho Man Tin, Grand Homm sold 11 flats for nearly HK$280 million via tender. The project previously owned by Goldin Financial (0530) former chairman, Pan Sutong, is now controlled by receivers.

In Hung Hom, Henderson Land Development (0012) said it has sold 89 flats at Baker Circle Greenwich for HK$480 million since sales were launched, taking the number of homes sold there to 428. The developer collected more than HK$2.6 billion from the sales.

Meanwhile, the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate rose for the 10th consecutive trading day to the highest in more than one month at 5.257 percent yesterday.

All other rates increased as well as the quarter-end approaches, and the retail green bond received a warm response in subscriptions.

Data from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority showed the composite interest rate, which is a measure of the average cost of funds of banks, increased by 9 basis points to 2.55 percent at the end of August as the weighted funding cost for deposits during the month climbed.

至于私宅动工量及落成量方面，7月有128伙私宅落成，按月大减61.7%；而同期仅有51伙私宅动工，按月急泻98%。

旅客重临 甘比1.2亿放售东角道铺

旅客重返核心区，投资者趁机放售铺位，现华置行政总裁兼执行董事陈凯韵 (甘比)，放售铜锣湾东角道铺，叫价1.2亿元。

有代理表示，铜锣湾东角道24至26号置安大厦相连地铺现正放售，物业建筑面积约832平方呎，意向价约1.2亿元，平均呎价约14.4万元。该代理表示，物业连租约放售，现时租客为厨具专门店，月租约25万元，租期至2025年中，以意向售价计，料可享2.5厘回报。资料显示，上述租户已租用铺位逾5年，回报相当稳定。

翻查资料，该铺由华置甘比持有，多年来作收租之用。物业正对世贸中心，早年价值极高，2013年，铜锣湾东角道24号地下22号铺，亦即比邻次是次放售铺位，建筑面积约416平方呎，以约2.33亿元易手，呎价约56万元，若以实用面积291平方呎计，实用呎价高达80万元，当时由药房承租，月租约40万元，反映铺位租售价已较高峰期大幅回调。

湾仔全幢叫价2亿 减2成

资深投资者续沽货，消息称，九龙塘联合道320号建新中心低层地下铺位，面积约450平方呎，以约580万元沽出。据悉，铺位原由投资者持有，于1997年以505万元购入，由地产代理行租用，持货26年转手，获利约75万元。

励业街熟食市场地 改划料建23层商厦

商业物业投资气氛低迷，未有阻碍政府物色土地作商业发展的决心，规划署就观塘励业街熟食小贩市场一带用地，建议改为商业地带，料可兴建1幢23层 (另设两层地库) 的商业楼宇，高限为主水平基準以上100米，城规会将于周五 (22日) 讨论相关的大纲图修订。

规划署最新建议修订《观塘南部分区计划大纲图》，把伟业街、励业街和海滨道交界约2.07万方呎土地，由「政府、机构或社区(1)」、「休憩用地」和「道路」地带，一併改为「商业 (1)」地带，地积比率上限为12倍，总楼面面积上限约24.76万方呎，料可兴建一幢商业楼宇，并要求当中最少约3.88万方呎楼面面积，须用作食肆、零售和艺术文创相关用途。

湾仔秀华坊地拟起商住楼

该址现包括公厕、垃圾站、休憩处以及已经关闭的熟食小贩市场，规划署指出，该用地完成改划后，未来将循卖地程序，交由私人市场发展，并假设新建筑物可于2028年落成。

另外，城规会周五也会讨论多个规划申请，其中湾仔秀华坊31至36号和圣佛兰士街8至12号用地，有财团去年申请把有关土地由「住宅 (甲类)」、「住宅 (丙类) 及「道路」地带，改划为「住宅 (甲类) 9」地带，拟兴建1幢28层商住建筑物，总楼面面积约10.45万方呎，提供216伙，同时设有艺术相关设施。规划署认为，建筑物与周围环境不会出现不协调的情况，不反对该申请。

Henderson Land high among approvals

The Buildings Department approved 19 building plans in July, with Henderson Land Development (0012) getting the green light to build a commercial-cum-residential building in Wan Chai.

Henderson Land's redevelopment projects for older buildings also received approval.

One notable project is the redevelopment of an old building at 13-21 Wood Road and 22-30 Wing Cheung Street in Wan Chai, acquired earlier this year for HK$300 million. This project has been greenlit for the construction of a 27-story residential/commercial mixed-use building with a total floor area of about 86,000 square feet.

Another project by the developer, the redevelopment of 88 Robinson Road in Mid-Levels West, which was acquired for over HK$1 billion last year, has been granted approval for the construction of a 16-story residential building with a total area of about 50,000 sq ft.

In the primary market, Grand Jeté Phase I in Tuen Mun, co-developed by CK Asset (1113) and Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), will launch the sales of 70 remaining units on Sunday. Discounted prices range from HK$11,862 to HK$15,063 per sq ft.

The project will feature a talent incentive program with discounts of up to 3 percent on prices.

Buyers who are tenants currently will be eligible for four- and five-percent cash rebates when purchasing two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes.

And Pano Harbour in Kai Tak, a collaboration between China Resources Land (Overseas) and Poly Property Group (0119), set new records in the runway area with a four-bedroom home selling for HK$1.22 billion, or HK$58,401 per sq ft.

甲厦空置楼面持续增多，据一间外资代理行报告指，7月本港甲厦整体空置率为12.8%，按月升0.2个百分点。

该行最新发表的香港地产市场报告中指出，香港整体甲级写字楼租赁市场于7月录得224,600平方呎负净吸纳量。该行称，休閒及旅游业在通关后业务改善。旅游体验綫上平台KKday承租九龙湾「一号九龙」约7,600平方呎楼面 (建筑面积)，以扩充其目前位于同区 Eastmark 的办公空间。

该行代理表示，近期看到保险公司、医疗中心及旅游业公司等受惠于通关及内地旅客回归的行业重拾租赁写字楼的兴趣，相信未来数月将有更多涉及此类公司的租赁成交。

租金按月跌0.6%

至于空置率方面，7月全港整体空置率为12.8%，按月升0.2个百分点，而核心区中环空置率为9.6%，同样按月升0.2个百分点。至于港岛东及湾仔/铜锣湾，按月同样上升至11%及12.7%，而全港空置率最高为九龙东，空置率逾两成，最新为20.2%。

租金方面，该行另一代理表示，7月整体市场租金按月下跌0.6%。主要分区市场中，中环和湾仔/铜锣湾租金分别下跌0.6%和1.4%，而尖沙咀租金微升0.1%。

息口高企 投资者沽货减磅

息口持续高企，而持重货的资深投资者，近日明显加快沽货以减磅，令整体大手成交稍上升。

近期大手成交，主要来自资深投资者沽货，而甲厦市场重现中资机构入市，招商局能源运输股份有限公司宣布，以7.78亿元购入信德中心招商局大厦28楼全层作自用，建筑面积25,395平方呎，平均呎价30,636元，成为信德中心分层最大金额成交。该厦对上最贵分层成交纪录，为2017年香港兴业 (00480) 以约7.5亿元沽出上环信德中心招商局大厦22楼全层。

招商轮船购信德中心 整合业务

招商轮船指，自2012年购买入香港信德中心招商局大厦32层作为香港运营总部以来，公司油气、干散等各项航运业务蓬勃发展，在港员工数量从2013年的129人增加到目前的334人。招商轮船香港运营总部除香港上环信德中心招商局大厦32楼自有物业20,835平方呎外，还租用了信德中心招商局大厦其他楼层共47,098平方呎。办公地点分散在多楼层，管理较为不便。购置同一幢办公楼的整层物业，将分散在多层的员工集中起来办公，有利于加强公司管理。

翻查资料，该层楼面由「小巴大王」马亚木持有，于1996年尾，以约3.02亿元购入单位，其后遇上1997年金融风暴，价格大跌。现持货27年转手，获利约4.76亿元，升值约1.6倍。

另外，「磁带大王」陈秉志续沽货，鰂鱼涌七姊妹道206至208号昌利大厦地下及1楼易手，物业位处港铁鰂鱼涌站口旁，人流颇旺，地下分间成多个铺位，包括快餐店、面包店、车房等，物业地下面积约5,370平方呎，1楼面积约7,445平方呎，合共以1.55亿元易手，呎价约1.2万元。物业由资深投资者陈秉志持有，他于2002年以约1,700万元购入物业，持货21年转手，获利约1.38亿元离场，大幅升值8倍。

东贸广场全层沽 蚀1091万

至于今年最大手沽货的罗守辉，仍未减慢出货步伐，柴湾东贸广场中层全层，面积约7,758平方呎，以约4,809万元成交，呎价约6,200元，项目连同两车位成交。据悉，该层楼面由资深投资者罗守辉持有，他于2019年以约5,900万元购入单位，持货5年转手，蚀约1,091万元离场，幅度近2成。消息称，买家为该层楼面租客，现转租为买。

分析指，由于息口仍居高不下，预计维持一段时间，一方面影响投资者入市兴趣，另对于持重货的投资者来说，利息开支甚高，故寧愿减价放售物业，希望成功沽货减磅，日后再作部署，相信投资者沽货步伐不会减慢，将令成交量稍上升。

永亨冯尧敬家族成员 876万购中环中心车位

中环核心区车位潜力备受看好，资深投资者早前拆售中环中心车位，吸引大批名人入市，其中著名慈善家冯尧敬家族成员，刚以876万元购入中环中心2个车位。

土地註册处资料，中环中心连录多宗车位成交登记，其中一家保定有限公司以每个438万元，购入中环中心B2层2个车位。该公司董事包括冯鈺斌、冯鈺声，前者为永亨银行董事，后者为永亨银行执行董事。

两人均为永亨银行创办人冯尧敬儿子，资料显示，冯尧敬为本港有名慈善家，1937年在广州市西关十三行创立，1960年在港获发银行牌照，正式註册为永亨银行。1993年7月在香港上市。

车位价回落 不乏投资者入市

另外，中环中心停车场B2层双号车位，以488万元易手，买家为天然乳品 (00462，前称中国金汇矿业，福茂控股) 前主席陈蕙姬。

资料显示，上述拆售的车位，原本由资深投资者「磁带大王」陈秉志持有，上月减价逾3成拆售，车位定价由438万至550万元。

事实上，近期车位价格跟随楼价回落，不少投资者对车位前景看高一綫，例如有投资者透过多间有限公司入市，购入至少14个车位，合共涉资约2,559.2万元，每个划一价为182.8万元。

凯施尖东铺4100万沽 12年贬值3成

陷入财困的凯施饼店所持有多个铺位沦为银主盘，其中尖东自用铺位以4,100万元售出，12年贬值3成。

消息称，尖沙咀加连威老道98号东海商业中心地下G1至2铺，面积约1,814平方呎，以约4,100万元沽出，呎价约2.26万元。铺位邻近喷水池，属尖东人流较多地段。

铺位原由凯施饼店持有，业主于2011年以5,900万元购入铺位，一直自用至今，惟早前集团出现财困，铺位沦为银主盘，并进行放售。物业于12年间，贬值约3成。

九龙湾创豪坊 低层售500万

近月凯施饼店旗下多间铺位涉及欠租，当中不少自用物业亦沦为银主盘，部分早前相继沽出。

另九龙湾活化商厦创豪坊录成交，涉及低层26室，面积约806平方呎，以约500万元沽出，呎价约6,203元。

商厦租务方面，消息称，尖沙咀新港中心第一座高层05室，面积约2,452平方呎，以每呎约32元租出。

啟超道地铺租50万 较高峰期跌8成

核心区铺租务加快 通关后连锁药店连开4店

访港旅客数字理想，核心区铺位租务加快，铜锣湾啟超道地下铺位，获药粧店 Sakara 以50万元租用，较旧租金略升，仍较高峰期跌近8成。该连锁药店在通关后，一口气开4分店。

有外资代理行代理表示，铜锣湾啟超道4号地铺，建筑面积约1,500平方呎，获本地化粧药品店租用，每月租金约50餘万元。该美粧保健品连锁店 Sakara，以售卖国际著名化粧品及保健品牌为主。

倾向租人流畅旺中型铺

翻查资料，啟超道4号地铺在零售高峰期时，曾由周大福珠宝以每月230万元租用，其后遇上疫情，租客迁出，期间曾获时装店以每月40万元租用，如今获药粧店以50万元租用，租金上升约25%。若与高峰期比较，仍大跌近8成。

据了解，Sakara 品牌在近月连租4铺，包括以40万元，租用尖沙咀海防道53至55号海防大厦地下B及C铺连阁楼，面积约1,200平方呎，并以50万元，租用同区加连威老道21A至21B号地下A、C及D号铺，面积约1,640平方呎，成交月租近50万元，呎租约305元。是次租用啟超道铺，正对希慎广场，属铜锣湾一綫靚铺。

该代理指，现时以本地中型租户在商铺租赁市场最活跃，倾向租用人流畅旺的中型面积铺位，因此面积介乎1,000至2,000平方呎的地铺最受欢迎，铜锣湾啟超道及尖沙咀海防道一带较多此类铺位供应，带动租金显著回升。该代理亦指，续租个案均见租金上调，带动啟超道与罗素街的租金差距显著收窄。

自通关以来，核心区铺位租务明显上升，而逾半成交，租客均为药粧店、药房等。如罗素街59号地下，亦即上述啟超道铺位附近，面积约700平方呎，获药房以每月约50万元租用，呎租约714元。相比之下，因内地旅客消费模式转变，奢侈品扩充个案仍甚少。

另消息指，尖沙咀弥敦道美丽都大厦地下3及4号铺及一楼1至4号铺，面积约3,920平方呎，以约35万元租出，呎租约90元。据了解，新租客料为鐘錶Swatch Group。该铺前租客为六福珠宝，最新租金较4年前，跌幅达40%。

Home prices still plague residents

Hong Kong's property market bubble may have gone but it still takes Hongkongers 20 to 25 years to buy a home compared to nine to 12 years for Singaporeans, a UBS report has found.

The city has dropped to sixth place on the latest UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index, with house prices returning to 2017 levels following a 7 percent decline between mid-2022 and mid-2023.

The report found that a skilled service worker here would need 20 to 25 years to afford a 650-square-foot flat near the city center. Singapore's nine to 12 years is even shorter in most major US cities.

From 2003 to 2018 real estate prices in Hong Kong almost quadrupled, while incomes remained stagnant, and inflation-adjusted rents increased by only 50 percent, making housing barely affordable.

Meanwhile William Kwok Tze-wai, CK Asset's (1113) chief sales manager, expects local residential property prices to fluctuate by up to 10 percent in the fourth quarter due to uncertainty concerning interest rates and cautious sentiment in the property market.

Despite the US pausing its rate hikes, Hong Kong real estate agencies believe local banks have not alleviated the impact of rising interest rates, leading to ongoing downward pressure on home transactions.

A property agent has anticipated slow activity in the secondary property market, pushing property prices down.

Henderson Land's One Innovale in Fan Ling sold 90 percent of its 1,474 units, bringing in around HK$7.25 billion in revenue.

丰泰地产旗下湾仔全幢庄士敦道商厦，有代理表示，湾仔庄士敦道189号及谭臣道110号，全幢物业以交吉形式放售，地盘面积约1466方呎，楼高6层，现址建筑面积约9637方呎，全幢叫价逾2亿。

该物业于2021年10月获屋宇署批准兴建一幢22层商业大厦，涉及面积约21995方呎，亦可考虑重建酒店，交易可转让公司股份。该代理续指，该物业邻近港铁站，亦靠近囍帖街，今年初，恒基以底价3亿强拍投得湾仔活道19至21号及永祥街22至30号旧楼项目，为统一业权，料将与毗邻地盘合併发展中小型住宅，预计提供约180伙单位。

With interest rates likely to have peaked, Hong Kong home prices will soon begin to look up, analyst says

Falling global interest rates should boost property prices, but any gains in Hong Kong could be delayed until there is a broader economic recovery locally and in China

Lived-in home prices in Hong Kong fell 1.1 per cent in July, the most this year, as rising interest rates kept buyers on the sidelines

Hong Kong will be among the first markets where interest rates are likely to fall next year along with the US, which could potentially boost the city’s property sector, according to analysts.

With inflation in the US, the world’s largest economy, showing signs of cooling down, normalising of interest rates may come earlier than in the UK and the euro zone, a property agent said.

Hong Kong’s peg to the US dollar means an automatic adjustment to the city’s interest rates alongside the US.

“As rates begin to fall globally, that will be the trigger for improved affordability and will provide the conditions for house price growth, so the US and Hong Kong, in theory, will see prices grow earlier,” the agent said.

“That said, the conditions for stronger prices also require consumer confidence and positive household wealth conditions. In the US one can see how these conditions will be present in the near-term. It may be delayed in Hong Kong until there is a broader recovery in the local and wider China economies.”

With Hong Kong following the Fed, the rate cut moves will be quicker, unlike the UK and Europe, where it is more likely at the end of 2024, Bailey said, adding that the falling rates are likely to boost home prices in the US, but may take some time in Hong Kong.

Lived-in home prices in Hong Kong fell 1.1 per cent in July, the most this year, according to the latest official data.

Meanwhile, developers have been extending price cuts at their new project launches in a bid to dispose of their current stock, with the likes of CK Asset’s Coast Line project and Villa Garda by Sino Land, K Wah International and China Merchants Land offering discounts of as much as 16 per cent.

Overall, the agent said the “worst” of the uncertainty is likely over for global property markets.

“In 2022, you had a period when it was clear inflation was rising rapidly,” the agent said. “No one quite knew the end game, how far it would go on, but now we’re probably at a point where we’re getting close to the end of the tightening cycle.”

Global property prices will probably be at their lowest level in the first quarter next year, the agent added.

Besides interest rates, other factors are likely to influence the direction of home prices next year, another agent said.

“In the US, a supply shortage will keep prices nearly flat over the next six months and drive increases in home prices by around 5 per cent in 2024,” the agent said. “In Hong Kong, the slower economy and low transaction numbers will keep the market sleepy until the middle of 2024.”

For the UK, the agent said property prices should find their bottom in the first quarter of 2024 and begin to recover later in the year.

尖沙咀汉口大厦申建商住项目 新世界持有涉110伙及9.9万呎商业楼面

尖沙咀传统核心商业区地皮新供应罕有，不少财团透露旧楼併购重建发展，由新世界及有关人士今年初完成併购的尖沙咀汉口大厦，最新向城规会申请重建1幢楼高28层的商住物业，提供110伙住宅单位，另有9.9万方呎商业楼面，整个项目可建总楼面逾13.8万方呎。

据城规会文件显示，汉口大厦项目位于尖沙咀汉口道43至49A号，目前属「商业 (6)」地带，申请拟议分层住宅及准许的办公室、商店及服务行业/食肆用途发展。

项目地盘面积约11566方呎，总地积比率以约12倍发展，地积比包括住宅部分约3.428倍及非住宅部分约8.572倍，以兴建1幢楼高28层的商住物业，住宅部分提供110伙，涉及可建总楼面约39,648方呎，另有99143方呎商业楼面，换言之整个项目可建总楼面约138791方呎。

可建总楼面13.8万呎

申请人认为，「商业」用途地带覆盖范围不能反影现时该区的混合式用途；拟议发展与该区现时的混合性用途特质相符；而且申请地点适合作拟议的混合式发展，同时拟议发展能提供中小型单位以切合公眾对住屋的需求，并与政府的增加房屋供应政策相符。

申请人已进行各种技术性的评估，而评估结果显示是次发展计划将不会对交通及排污造成负面影响，而拟议发展亦不会受嘈音及空气质素影响。

资料显示，新世界及有关人士于今年3月中旬透过强拍途径，以底价21.34亿元成功统一业权发展，当时每呎楼面地价约1.5万。

平均每户面积361呎

另外，由财团持有的湾仔秀华坊31至36号及圣佛兰士街8至12号用地，早前申建216伙住宅单位，涉及可建总楼面约9.9万方呎。

秀华坊建住宅城规部分同意

城规会昨审议后决定部分同意有关申请。该项目地盘面积约1.06万方呎，住宅部分以地积比约9.65倍发展，以兴建1幢楼高28层，包括1层地库及3层平台的综合用途楼宇，以提供216伙住宅单位，涉及可建总楼面约9.9万方呎。

另有非住用楼面，以地积比率约0.52倍发展，可建总楼面约5358方呎，

主要位于圣佛兰士街的地下，拟议艺术设施则位于1楼及2楼，总楼面约4888方呎，另在秀华坊 (即发展的1楼) 将设有1间商店/咖啡馆。

油麻地旭逸酒店5.6亿易手 邓成波家族沽货每个房间作价373万

近期酒店受注目，既有旅客需要酒店，亦有大学拟购酒店作为学生宿舍，市场上录投资者购酒店，邓成波家族旗下油麻地旭逸酒店以5.6亿易手，平均每个房间作价373万，买家为投资者，并以百乐酒店集团罗氏家族呼声高。

市场消息透露，油麻地砵兰街54至60号旭逸酒店，以5.6亿易手，该物业佔地4053方呎，总楼面50358方呎，平均呎价11120元，物业拥有150间房间，平均每个房间作价373万。

百乐酒店罗氏呼声高

上述项目以买卖物业形式易手，新买家需支付相等于楼价4.25%的釐印费。买家以百乐酒店集团罗氏家族呼声高，该集团于亚洲多个地区经营酒店，今次趁淡市吸纳资产。

邓成波家族于2018年10月向英皇集团购入该酒店，作价11亿，当时名为香港盛世酒店 (Inn Hotel Hong Kong)，持货5年帐面蚀让5.4亿，物业贬值49%。

持货5年蚀让49%

邓成波家族近年频沽售物业，旗下更不乏大型放售项目，较近期的是西贡5幢工厦放售，西贡康定路1号、2号、6号、7号及9号5座全幢工厦，现时叫价为14亿，平均每方呎约3655元，买家可购入全数或个别独立全幢。该项目现状为5座全幢工业物业，佔地约129526方呎，每座总楼面由53138至100583方呎，楼高3至4层，买家可考虑改装成冻仓、迷你仓、数据中心或汽车相关用途等，以提升资产价值。

另一方面，物业地带被划为「住宅 (戊类) 1」，可向城规会申请重建住宅项目。业主已获城规会批准发展社福设施 (安老院)，提供1127个院舍牀位，涉及楼面约25.1万方呎，因此，买家亦可考虑补地价重建安老院项目。

观塘伟业街93号 银座商厦合零售

观塘一带为传统工业区，区内近年新增了不少商厦，全幢银座式商厦观塘伟业街93号，交通便利，吸引不少商户进驻。

交通方面，步行约10分鐘即可到达牛头角港铁站，附近亦有巴士站。出入亦可选择乘坐巴士等交通工具，直达港九新界各处，交通方便。而日常饮食方面，物业附近有不少餐厅；而物业地铺亦设有食肆。

物业设有2部客用升降机，有助疏通人流。楼底高约3.15米，楼层面积由1,120至1,605平方呎不等，其中1至3楼及20至23楼为全层单位，而5至19楼则分成每层3伙，面积由430平方呎至580平方呎不等的单位。景观方面，外望九龙湾一带景致，10楼以上高层单位可眺望啟德一带。

处区内甲厦圈

有代理表示，物业为观塘区全新银座式商厦，亦可作零售或餐饮用途，物业坐落区内的甲级商厦圈，附近有多幢指标商厦吸引不同企业进驻落户，包括宏利大楼、花旗大楼、绿景NEO大厦及海滨汇等，加上邻近兴建中的浸会东九龙医疗中心，故不论上班族或是东九龙区民生，以至日后的外区客源均有所保证。

此外，近年宠物经济兴起，本港宠物餐厅、宠物用品店等类型店铺租务趋活跃，不少人亦钟爱到特色宠物主题餐厅体验，而今番招租单位属区内罕有之银座式商厦，物业比邻海滨道及海滨道公园一带属不少养宠物人士的热门去处，因此亦相当适合宠物零售行业进驻。

代理相信，随着近期观塘区一带工厦单位可作食肆的数量持续减少，不少餐厅食肆转投向银座式商厦合法经营，因而令可作餐饮用途的物业需求更见殷切。

英皇珠宝扩充迎旅客 广东道再租铺

恒利大厦千呎铺40万租 租金降5成

十一黄金周将至，预计访港旅客有所回升，近日核心区一綫地段租务加快。消息指，尖沙咀广东道一个千呎铺，以40万元租出，较旧租金跌一半。据悉，新租客为英皇鐘錶珠宝 (00887)，在短短一个月内连环扩充，反映零售商仍看好后市。

市场消息指，尖沙咀广东道68至80号恒利大厦地下4号铺，面积约1,000平方呎，以约40万元租出。该铺位处于尖沙咀广东道后段，邻近 apple store，通关后人流亦转旺。

市场人士透露，铺位由英皇鐘錶珠宝租用。该品牌于广东道有大型旗舰店，英皇鐘錶珠宝于2011年，即零售高峰期时，以100万租用恒利大厦3号地铺，面积约1,500平方呎，及后2016年因应市况决定约满迁出。相隔多年，品牌以约40万元，租用同厦另一个铺位。

月初租海防道 较旧租金倍升

事实上，9月初英皇亦以50万元，租用尖沙咀海防道51及52号地下A、B、C1、C2及D号铺，面积约2,060平方呎铺位，较铺位前租客高出1倍租金，连同是次落户广东道，在短短一个月内同区租两铺，可见通关后奢侈品零售商转为积极。

翻查资料，是次租用广东道铺位，于零售高峰期时由个人护理品牌 Body Shop 租用多年，高峰期月租高达133万元，2016年品牌续租，回落至90万元，其后约满迁出。如今铺位以约40餘万元租出，租金跌逾半，而较高峰期跌约7成。

广东道海防道 逾10租务

疫情期间，封关下零旅客，零售商纷撤出核心区，尖沙咀广东道及海防道成为重灾区，空置率一度高见两成以上。自从年初通关以来，旅客数字稳步向上，令一眾零售商重新扩充，单计今年以来，广东道及海防道录逾10宗商铺租务成交，既有中小型千呎铺以内租务，亦有新港中心3层铺位，获内地高级金行「老铺黄金」以200万元租用作旗舰店，现时两大核心段吉铺数字大为降低。

业界：趁租平首选核心区

另一代理指出，近期核心区铺位租务明显加快，以海防道为例，疫情时出现10多个吉铺，短租月租跌至最低几万元，如今广东道、海防道吸纳情况理想。该代理分析，因核心区一綫街铺始终有限，当旅客重返，零售商首选仍是核心区一綫街，此时租金仍属偏低水平，故属好时机租核心地段铺位迎商机。

本地资深投资者大鸿辉主席梁绍鸿，持有广东道及海防道多个铺位，疫情期间先后交吉，直至近期陆续租出。梁绍鸿称，现时内地旅客消费模式改变，因内地经济需时復甦，而在人民币下跌、高息等因素下，旅客要回復至疫情前消费水平，实在需时，因此商铺租金现阶段难重回疫情前水平，但整体而言，不论租务气氛及租金，也远胜疫情期间，并表示对香港前景仍极具信心。

国际品牌仍审慎 「本地薑」趁机抢点

旅客消费明显转变，加上环球及内地经济仍甚具挑战，国际品牌取态非常审慎，故新租铺个案绝大部分为本地零售商。

据入境处数字，刚于周六及周日访港的内地人数，分别为110,617及94,435人，即使仍不及疫情前，周末单日维持约10万人访港，对零售商来说，仍算充满商机。

近月旺铺租务增 来自药粧店

从旅客消费的模式上，近月似乎进一步确定，以往豪客的比例大幅降低，取而代之，是较为「深度游」，来港到访名胜观光「打卡」，光顾特色食店等。旅客新消费常态，主要因内地经济受多方面挑战，包括疫后重新恢復，而人民币下跌，难免影响消费力，相信此模式会维持一段时间。

正因消费模式上与疫情前有所分别，近月核心区铺位租务成交大幅上升同时，租户绝大部分为本地客，当中6至7成的成交，来自药房、药粧店，而高消费则以金行、珠宝店为主，而过往推动铺市的国际品牌，在今次通关后租铺浪潮中，所佔的比例极低。

由于全球经济仍受高息、政治局势等影响，零售商在扩充步伐较审慎，加上旅客消费不及以往，令国际品牌需更长时间观察，故在租铺速度上，不及本地客来得快。

业主接受现实 租金难大升

租金方面，从最近二三十宗核心区铺位租务，成交租金定较疫情前理想，但与高峰期仍相距甚远，一方面反映缺少国际品牌抢铺，租金难以大幅上升，亦反映铺位业主开始接受现实，不能以高峰期水平作準，寧愿先有租收，日后市况转好才再作部署。

Hong Kong among world’s top sources of property capital, but global investors give city’s real estate a miss: property agency’s report

Hong Kong was the world’s fourth-largest source of global property capital in the first half, but it was not in the top 10 markets for investment

Investors are put off by the city’s high interest rates and sluggish economy, the report suggested

Hong Kong was the world’s fourth-largest source of global property capital in the first half of the year, according to a study by a property agency.

But its high interest rates and stuttering economy meant that, unlike rivals Singapore and Japan, it was not a favoured destination for international property investment.

Investors from Hong Kong spent US$6.5 billion in real estate markets across the globe in the year to June 30, accounting for 7.4 per cent of global real estate investment, the agency found. That was a big jump from the 4.2 per cent contribution they made between 2018 and 2022.

The city did not appear in the top 10 destinations for global property investment. The report did not provide figures for Hong Kong’s inbound property capital.

Singapore was the top source of capital in the first six months of the year, deploying US$21.8 billion and making up a quarter of the global total. It was also the 10th-largest destination, receiving US$2.5 billion in investment.

Japan was the fifth-largest real estate investor in the world, spending US$5.1 billion in the period. In return its property market received US$7.1 billion in investment, taking third spot.

“As compared to other markets, Hong Kong’s property market is impacted most by the high interest rate and the fact investors are constantly looking into other high-yield assets as investment opportunities,” said Thomas Chak, co-head of capital markets and investment at Colliers.

“Therefore, we can see that it’s one of the top five sources of global capital, with the cash-rich local investors finding good bargains.”

High interest rates and a sluggish economy have been hobbling Hong Kong’s property markets. The office and residential segments in particular have suffered declines in both prices and transactions.

In the second quarter of 2023, Hong Kong’s economy lost steam, recording growth of just 1.5 per cent, down from 2.9 per cent in the first three months, according to official data.

Meanwhile, the city’s base rate was raised to a 16-year high in July in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes because of the local currency’s peg to the US dollar.

The US was the second-largest property investor, deploying US$15.8 billion in the first half, and the largest recipient of global capital, taking in US$21.9 billion.

The UK was the second-biggest investment destination, receiving US$11.2 billion, and the eighth-largest investor at about US$3 .6 billion, Colliers said.

“In the first half of 2023, we have seen significant capital being deployed outside the Asia-Pacific region,” said Chris Pilgrim, managing director, global capital markets, Asia-Pacific at Colliers.

“Globally, the US remains ultimately the most liquid market, [attracting] meaningful capital from the Asia-Pacific region. The UK has also benefited from Asia-Pacific capital, partly driven by the fast revaluations of that market in comparison to parts of Europe and Asia-Pacific.”

“Although markets are now beyond the halfway mark in 2023, the outlook for the second half of the year remains opaque,” the study said.

“During the second quarter, there were clear signs of market activity improving relative to the five year high-low range, with North America leading the recovery. Figures for July, however, point to a downturn in activity. August figures are also expected to be low. The big question is whether this reflects the result of a summer recess in North America and Europe, prior to markets picking up in late third quarter and fourth quarter, or if it represents more fragility across markets, with further challenges to overcome,” it added.

共10万呎楼面 呎租约22元

近期大手租务成交主要集中在东九龙，其中观塘海滨汇两层合共10万平方呎，获香港宽频 (01310) 租用，呎租约22元，为今年东九龙最大手租务成交。该租户原使用九龙湾国际展贸中心，因大厦重建需作搬迁。

市场消息指，观塘海滨汇录得大手租务成交，涉及物业11及19楼两层，合共约10万平方呎，成交呎租约22元。消息称，新租客为香港宽频，该集团目前租用九龙湾国际展贸中心9及11楼等。由于九展业主已準备为物业进行重建，商户寻找新写字楼作搬迁，现迁入同区质素甚新的海滨汇。该厦每层面积达5万平方呎，为同区非常罕有，吸引企业迁入作整合业务。

外资代理行：整体甲厦空置趋稳

最近东九龙大手租务成交，不少来自九展迁出个案，如九龙湾启汇获医院管理局租用2层半，楼面达9万平方呎，呎租料约17元。医管局表示，计划将现时位于九龙湾国际展贸中心的资讯科技及医疗信息部办公室迁往啟汇，搬迁工作将于明年初展开。

此外，该行最新发表的香港地产市场报告中指出，整体甲级写字楼市场空置率自4月起连续上升4个月后，于8月底渐见稳定，整体市场空置率维持在12.8%。中环的空置率上升至9.9%，而湾仔/铜锣湾和尖沙咀的空置率分别下跌0.6和0.7个百分点。

租金方面，整体租金按月下跌0.7%，主要分区市场中，中环和湾仔/铜锣湾租金分别下跌0.8%和0.3%，而尖沙咀租金上升0.6%。该行代理表示，整体写字楼租赁市场于上个月渐见稳定，而且整体甲级写字楼市场在8月录得229,800平方呎净吸纳量，为需求较疲弱的写字楼市场带来好转迹象。不过，由于写字楼租赁需求仍然疲弱，加上新写字楼供应量持续增加，相信租金将持续受压。

甲厦录22.98万呎净吸纳量

近年甲厦市道低迷，上月在大手租赁支撑下，情况略见稳定，有外资代理行指出，上月甲厦录22.98万方呎净吸纳量，更是空置率连升4个月后见回稳。

外资代理行：整体空置率12.8%

该行最新发表的香港地产市场报告指，整体甲级写字楼市场空置率自今年4月连续上升4个月后，于8月底渐见稳定，维持在12.8%，不过，核心商业区中环于8月底，空置率由9.6%上升至9.9%，可见空置率增加。

至于分区方面，湾仔 (包括铜锣湾) 和尖沙咀空置率，则分别下跌0.6和0.7个百分点。港岛东空置率轻微上升，由12.7百分点升至12.8百分点。九龙东空置率下跌，由20.2百分点跌至19.5百分点。

该行代理表示，上个月整体写字楼租赁市场渐见稳定，整体市场8月录22.98万方呎净吸纳量，为需求较疲弱的写字楼市场带来好转跡象。

啟汇10万呎大手租赁瞩目

该代理续指，月内由少数大手租赁支撑市场，包括医院管理局租用九龙湾啟汇约10万方呎楼面，以原区搬迁。

不过，由于写字楼整体租赁需求仍然疲弱，加上新写字楼供应量持续增加，相信租金将持续受压。

该代理表示，8月整体市场租金按月下跌0.7%。主要分区市场中，中环和湾仔 (包括铜锣湾) 租金分别下跌0.8%和0.3%，尖沙咀租金则上升0.6%。

据中旅指，君悦居与该集团持有的湾仔睿景酒店地块是由一原地块拆分而成，按照政府法定规划，地块规划为商业用地，可用于兴建商业、酒店、写字楼，在取得君悦居后可探索两地块合併开发的机会，有效利用后巷面积。

翻查资料，项目原由本地老牌家族持有，2005年家族以4.5亿元向资深投资者罗家宝购入物业，作长綫收租。持货18年转手，获利近4.5亿元，物业升值1倍。

近期全幢物业成交有增，如日前邓成波家族以5,6亿元，沽出旺角砵兰街60号「旭逸酒店旺角」，总建筑面积约48,595平方呎，涉及199间酒店客房。波叔于2018年，斥约11亿元向英皇购入酒店，5年大幅亏蚀5.4亿元，蚀幅近半。据了解，新买家为资深投资者罗家宝儿子罗正雄，亦即百乐集团行政总裁，购入酒店料日后作集团自行营运。

九龙塘玫瑰苑批拆楼 重建展开

新世界 (00017) 去年以21亿元强拍统一九龙塘玫瑰苑业权，屋宇署显示，项目早前已经获批拆楼纸，将随即展开重建；同期还有乐风位于鸭脷洲及佐敦两个项目亦获准重建。

据屋宇署在7月份批出多份拆卸同意书，大部分属旧楼重建项目。其中新世界收购的玫瑰苑，在去年11月透过强拍，以20.75亿元统一业权，相隔大半年展开重建。

玫瑰苑在1967年落成，楼龄约56年，原本属于由22幢3层高的分层住宅组成，现有总楼面约5.9万平方呎。由于项目佔地约38,960平方呎，属「住宅 (丙类)」用途，最高重建地积比3倍，可建楼面11.69万平方呎，相较现有旧楼增加1倍。

乐风两项目 重建住宅商厦

至于由乐风收购的鸭脷洲平澜街及佐敦南京街项目亦展开重建，前者在今年3月才透过强拍统一业权，现时组成平澜街2至4A号、好景街26至28号重建，将重建成一幢楼高约20多层的住宅，提供约70伙，主打1及2两房。

另一个展开重建南京街11至21号旧楼，乐风在去年11月完成收购，预计将会重建为商厦项目。

东涌增660万呎商业楼面 11 SKIES最大

住宅以外，政府近年加快推动东涌的商业发展，据本报统计，该区未来数年将新增大量商业楼面供应，单计4个大型商业项目，楼面已高达逾660万平方呎。

东涌一带未来主要有4个商业楼面供应，料合共为区内增逾660万平方呎商业楼面，当中最大型的项目为新世界 (00017) 的航天城11 SKIES项目。

3甲厦57万呎 商场料年底落成

11 SKIES为一个综合发展项目，将会提供大型零售、娱乐设施，及3幢合共约57万平方呎的甲级写字楼K11 ATELIER 11 SKIES，3幢大厦大致分为3个不同主题，包括金融服务、健康医养及初创企业，办公室的单位面积介乎约1,696至33,868平方呎。而11 SKIES商场部分则料在今年底至明年初分阶段落成。

区内另一个大型商业项目则为东涌第57区商业项目，项目于去年初由华懋以近28亿元投得，地皮佔地约13.3万平方呎，总楼面约126.1万平方呎。据发展商早前透露，计划在该地兴建商场、办公室及数据中心。值得一提的是，该地皮曾于2020年底流标，其后政府调整招标条款后重推，包括调整零售楼面及容许中标者发展数据中心等。

106B区私楼地皮 10月27截标

另外，港铁 (00066) 与政府达成协议的东涌东站综合项目，位于东涌第113区，佔地约82万平方呎，总楼面约678万平方呎，7成属于住宅楼面，亦设有商业零售及办公室楼面，分别涉约64.6万平方呎及118.4万平方呎。而据港铁上月表示，预计未来1年会首先推出东涌东站第1期项目。

同时，港铁旗下小蠔湾项目相信亦蓄势待发。该项目继今年2月流标后，港铁早前亦透露预计于未来1年重推，并料将偏向由港铁先处理前期工程，从而将铁路连接工程风险移离发展商，亦有研究会否拆细推出，以增加项目吸引力。整项目提供2万伙公、私营房屋，其中一半属于私楼外，并设有一个约37.1万平方呎的商场。

至于政府今季 (7至9月) 亦已推出东涌第106B区地皮，佔地约11.5万平方呎，指定作私人住宅用途，最高可建楼面面积约40.1万平方呎，估值料约10亿至16亿元，每呎楼面地价约2,500至4,000元。地皮将于下月27日 (周五) 截标。

罗素街单边「铺王」月租38万 零售商进驻租金较疫前跌55%

近期核心区铺租赁升温，铜锣湾罗素街60号 (波斯富街76号) 单边「铺王」，以每月38万租出，平均呎租633元，租客为零售商，租金较疫市前下跌55%。

由英皇国际持有的罗素街60号、波斯富街76号单边「铺王」，建筑面积约600方呎，于2011年初铺市高峰期，英皇以3.8亿购入，每呎高达63.3万，轰动市场，该「铺王」在疫市期间，一直租予口罩店，更由于物业位处旧楼被收购，铺王现时被申请强拍中，亦意味物业未来发展有变数。

平均呎租633元

虽然如此，该铺王仍然受长租客追捧，市场消息透露，物业刚以每月38万租出，平均呎租633元，租客为零售商，售卖大眾化产品，铺位将不作大肆装修。

该铺过去一年多时间，租予口罩店，对上长租客为瑞士手錶品牌TAG Heuer，于2018年11月进驻，并于2022年3月撤出，月租85万，最新租金较疫市前下跌55%。

长租客撤出后，该铺位一直由口罩店承租，该铺位所位处波斯富街一整列旧楼，多年来由新世界所收购，并于早前向土地审裁处申请强拍，该「铺王」最新估值仅1.8426亿，较2011年购入价低1.9574亿或51%。

英皇：不作回应

英皇发言人接受本报查询时回应，就市场消息不作回应。

英皇鐘錶珠宝承租尖沙咀广东道68至80号恒利大厦地下4号铺，建筑面积约1000方呎，月租约40万

上述铺位处于尖沙咀广东道后段，邻近 apple store，英皇鐘錶珠宝于2011年，亦以100万租用恒利大厦3号地铺，面积约1500方呎，2016年约满迁出。

该铺王所位处旧楼，近年被收购，铺王现时被申请强拍，物业未来发展有变数，基于以上原因，长租客零售商不会大肆装修。

Property market could take year to recover

China's property market could take as long as a year to recover, according to a former central bank adviser, who is urging Beijing to halt the spread of defaults by encouraging lending to developers.

Sales in China's largest cities could return to growth in the next four to six months but in smaller cities "it will take anything to between six months and one year for a good recovery," Professor Li Daokui, a former member of the People's Bank of China monetary policy committee, said in an interview.

Li proposed that Beijing create a mechanism to increase bank lending to property developers in order to reduce financial contagion risks.

About 100 billion yuan (HK$107 billion) will be needed to cushion developers through the current downturn, he said.

Li said it was possible the PBOC will cut interest rates once more before the end of 2023 but he does not expect "numerous or major cuts," partly because banks' profit margins are relatively low.

But he expects more detailed plans for the resolution of local government debt to be released soon, which is "much more important than cutting the interest rate."

However, Grow Investment chief economist Hong Hao believes it might take several years to even a decade to fix China's property sector as too many houses have been built.

In other news, China Evergrande (3333) shares dropped 7 percent yesterday after a unit of the embattled property developer missed the repayment of a 4 billion yuan onshore bond.

核心区铺位持续受捧，旺角家乐坊 FOOT LOCKER 旧址，近日由龙丰药房承租，月租约100万，该巨铺面积达1.8万呎，有机会成为全港最大间药房。

连锁鞋店 Foot Locker 今年中关闭在港全线6间分店，撤出香港，其中家乐坊地下旗舰店，该巨铺以约100万租出，租客为龙丰药房，平均呎租约55元。该铺前身长租客为 FOOT LOCKER，在2020年月租高达200万，最新租金下跌50%。

属FOOT LOCKER旧址

换言之，龙丰以约半价承租靚铺，FOOT LOCKER 撤走后，该巨铺由 AEON 百货短租。而在2014年铺市高峰期，H&M时装于2014年承租旺角家乐坊地库至1楼，合共5.4万方呎楼面，月租高达900万。

较旧租金跌50%

龙丰药房今年初承租尖沙咀「名店街」广东道一个面积逾4000呎巨铺，较2013年零售高峰期名鐘店的月租约630万，累挫84%。去年亦以月租60万租用中环皇后大道中地铺，曾由珠宝金行及运动服装店承租，高峰期月租380万，对上旧租为140万，租金跌57%。

现时龙丰药房在上水起家，过往经营连锁药房，近年改做「龙丰Mall」发展路线类似超市业务，药妆货物林林总总，目前在全港约有14间分店，家乐坊有望成为第15间分店。

远航创办人桂四海 4.18亿购山顶傲璇

内地祥祺集团陈红天早前财困，名下豪宅、商厦均沦为银主盘被接管。其中山顶傲璇自用单位早前以4.18亿元售出，新买家为远航集团创办人桂四海，近年以8亿元连扫香港多间豪宅。

祥祺陈红天持有 沦银主盘

是次涉及的傲璇 (OPUS HONG KONG) 5楼单位连同两个车位，最初由祥祺集团陈红天2015年以3.87亿元，向太古地产 (01972) 购入作为自住，不过陈红天年初起陆续有物业被银行接管，其中傲璇单位由交通银行接管。

据资料显示，该单位连同车位早前以4.18亿元售出，新买家为 Kwai Sze Hoi 购入，跟远航集团创办人桂四海同名。

两年间 8亿入市港物业

桂四海据指在90年代创办远航集团，拥有及管理30多艘远洋船队。而桂四海家族成员则曾经在两年前以逾3.8亿元购入半山区西部波老道21号新盘21 BORRETT ROAD 两伙，连同今次购入傲璇，短短2年间以8亿元入市，而桂四海本身亦持有半山宝云道15号的独立屋。

至于成交的傲璇5楼单位实用面积约为5,154平方呎，属5房4套间隔，按约4.2亿元成交价计，呎价约8.1万元。据悉，是次属发展商2012年一手推出并沽清后，项目首度录二手成交。单位早前进行招标时，物业估值为6.8亿元，若按现时成交价计，低市值约4成。

陈红天名下另外还有两项银主物业，包括在2016年以21亿元购入的山顶歌赋山道15号豪宅，同样被银主接管，曾经在上月推出市场招标，已经在9月19日截标，不过至今仍然未见公布售出。而另一项目为市值约50亿元的红磡祥祺中心商厦。

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices decline in August for the fourth straight month, as elevated interest rates and high inventory levels weigh

High interest rates, lack of purchasing power and growing inventory of unsold flats continue to exert downward pressure on property prices

It is widely expected that the city’s home prices are set to drop by about 5 per cent by the end of this year, after the latest round of mortgage rate increases made last week

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices declined for the fourth straight month in August, government data showed and analysts expect the easing trend to continue for the rest of the year given the elevated interest-rate environment and high inventory levels.

Prices fell 1.4 per cent month-on-month in August, according to an index compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department. The widely watched gauge slipped to 339.2 from 344.0 in July.

“High interest rates, lack of purchasing power and stockpiling of new flats have continued to push property prices downwards,” a property agent said. The agent said that in such an environment the residential property sector will face strong headwinds for the rest of the year while forecasting a 5 per cent decline in average prices over the second half of 2023.

The agent said that although the US did not increase interest rates in September, the interest rate hike cycle is not yet over. The agent said the impact of interest rate hikes will start fading only in the second quarter next year amid expectations that mortgage rates in Hong Kong could still rise this year.

The agency expects that in the short term, the average volume of first and second-hand transactions per month will hover around 3,000-3,500 cases, and that the property market will need a significant turnaround to erase the losses suffered this year.

It is widely expected that the city’s home prices are set to drop by about 5 per cent by the end of this year, after seven major lenders, including the three note-issuing banks – HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and Bank of China (Hong Kong) – said they would raise their mortgage rates last week.

The payment on a typical HK$5 million (US$643,000) mortgage over 30 years will increase by 6 per cent after the mortgage rate increases, or by HK$1,430 per month to HK$24,232, according to calculations made by a mortgage broker.

As high interest rates have affected homebuyers’ desire to enter the market, the pile of unsold new flats is now in excess of 20,000 units, according to another property agency.

August’s inventory in hand, including both unfinished and ready flats, rose to 20,513 units from 19,842 units in July. The number of unsold flats has now increased for five consecutive months, and has registered a total rise of 12.1 per cent over the year from 18,292 units at the end of last December, the agency said.

Rental prices have now risen for seven consecutive months through August, increasing about 5.6 per cent over the course of the year. Prices increased 1.4 per cent month on month in August, according to the Rating and Valuation Department.

The government’s Top Talent Pass Scheme will continue to support residential rental demand, the agent said. The agent expects rents to rise by around 8 per cent this year.

Chinese tycoon Chen Hongtian’s seized luxury Hong Kong flat sells for US$53 million, 39% below market price

The 5,154 sq ft flat in Opus Hong Kong sold to Kwai Sze Hoi, said to be the chairman of Hong Kong-listed Ocean Line Port Development, sources say

Chen and his wife, Chen Yao Li Ni, bought the fifth-floor flat at 53 Stubbs Road for HK$387 million (US$49 million) in September 2015

Receivers for a HK$680 million (US$86.7 million) Mid-Levels flat – seized from Chinese tycoon Chen Hongtian for unpaid loans – have sold the property at 39 per cent lower than the market price.

The 5,154 sq ft flat in Opus Hong Kong was sold to Kwai Sze Hoi for HK$418 million, official records showed. Kwai is the chairman of Hong Kong-listed Ocean Line Port Development, according to sources familiar with the transaction. The family has snapped up a number of luxury properties in Hong Kong in recent years, spending about HK$800 million.

Ocean Line is an inland terminal operator in mainland China and is engaged in the provision of port logistics services. Ocean Line was listed on GEM, the second board of HKEX in 2018, according to its filings.

The Kwai family also bought two units in 21 Borrett Road, a luxury residential project in Mid-Levels developed by Li Ka-shing’s property flagship CK Asset Holdings in 2021. The two units, transacted at about HK$380 million, were sold to Kwai’s son Kwai Kun and Kwai Tsz, also believed to be one of Kwai’s family members, according to local media.

Chen and his wife, Chen Yao Li Ni, bought the fifth-floor flat at 53 Stubbs Road for HK$387 million in September 2015, according to official records. In February, the flat was seized by Bank of Communi­cations, which extended a mortgage in August 2019.

The property was one of at least three assets seized by lenders in Hong Kong as of late March from Chen, whose Cheung Kei Group owns offices, hotels and finance firms.

The receivers put the flat up for sale by tender in May, and the tender closed on August 8, according to Savills, which had been appointed the sole agent for the deal.

Developed by Swire Properties on a site long possessed by the company as a home for its executives, the Opus project is acclaimed architect Frank Gehry’s only residential project in Asia. The building twists to give each of its 12 flats a unique floor plan, and is only a nine-minute drive away from the Central business district.

The flat Chen owned, which occupies the entire fifth floor, has five bedrooms, including four with their own bathrooms, a study, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen. It has an open-plan design and a ceiling height of more than four metres, according to a property agency.

铁路大厦全层1.04亿售 呎价跌穿1万水平

工商铺交投未见热闹，市场有业主沽货以锁定利润，一间新加坡背景公司沽售尖沙咀铁路大厦全层商厦，作价1.04亿，呎价跌穿1万水平，物业于13年间升值1.26倍。

新加坡背景公司沽售

尖沙咀漆咸道南39号铁路大厦7楼全层，建筑面积约10880方呎，早前以意向价逾1.3亿放售，平均呎价约1.2万，最终减价20%，以1.04亿易手，平均每呎9559元

上述物业部分交吉部分连约，买家可先自用部分写字楼，保留连约部分收租。原业主于2010年以4600万购入该全层，持货13年帐面获利5800万，物业升值1.26倍。

平均每呎9559元

铁路大厦以用家主导，向来买卖放盘少，其中于2021年8月，该厦20楼全层以1.5亿易手，建筑面积约10880方呎，平均呎价13787元，虽然刚沽售的全层位于低层，未能作直接比较，惟售价较2年前低逾30%，可见商厦市况在近期经济不景市况下，备受打击。

13年升值1.26倍

该厦位于尖沙咀漆咸道南39号，楼高28层，于1994年落成，楼龄28年，全层面积约10880方呎，总楼面约22.8万方呎。

港铁承租元朗商厦8层楼面 大手租用朗壹广场逾13万呎 月租料240万

近期商厦市场气氛有改善，市场不乏大手承租，租客包括公共机构等知名企业，港铁向信和承租元朗朗壹广场第2座，涉及8全层楼面，合共逾13万方呎，月租料240万。

本报就上述消息分别向信和及港铁查询，惟直至截稿前未获回覆。

平均呎租约18元

市场人士则表示，随着政府大力拓展新界区，未来将开拓更多港铁路线，各部门需要更多人手，港铁因而大手承租新界区写字楼。

朗壹广场位于康业街8号，1座提供3层商场，零售面积约11.3万方呎，提供多元化休閒娱乐空间和单车停泊设施，2座楼高约14层，提供商厦楼面。

近期，甲厦不乏大手租赁，其中包括医管局租用九龙湾啟汇约10万方呎楼面，为今年以来九龙东最大宗甲厦租赁，业界预期月租约150万。项目前身为傲腾广场，于资本策略为首的财团购入后，进行大幅翻新，医管局承租2层半楼面，合共约10万方呎，由于大手承租，预期呎租约15元，月租约150万，较同厦呎租16至18元，有一定折让。

有外资代理行最新发表的香港地产市场报告指，整体甲厦空置率自今年4月连升4个月后，8月底渐见稳定，维持12.8%，不过，核心商业区中环于8月底，空置率由9.6%升至9.9%，可见空置率增加。

政府大力拓展新界区，未来将开拓更多港铁路线，各部分需要人手，港铁因为大手承租新界区写字楼。

东九搬迁至金鐘

据了解，该旗舰店既可作销售，亦可举行品酒活动，配合时下的体验式消费。

九展重建商户迁出 带动甲厦租务

九龙湾国际展贸中心将重建，大批写字楼用户需迁出，并重新寻找新据点，令近期东九龙大手租务明显增加。

亿京牵头的财团在2021年以约105亿元购入九龙湾地标九龙湾国际展贸中心，现时属于1幢14层高的大型展览及工商业大厦，曾经向城规会申请重建成3幢24至26层高甲级商厦。业主决定进行重建，据屋宇署4月份资料显示，发展商亿京等获批建筑图则，可重建成4幢16层高连6层基座及地库的商厦，总楼面达176.8万平方呎，预计投资额高达200亿元，

香港宽频租海滨汇10万呎 同区最大手

由于项目租户眾多，不少涉及租用多层楼面商户，现需寻找新办公室作据点，令近期成交增。其中观塘海滨汇录得大手租务成交，涉及物业11及19楼两层，合共约10万平方呎，成交呎租约22元。消息称，新租客为香港宽频，该集团目前租用九龙湾国际展贸中心9及11楼等。现迁入同区质素甚新的海滨汇。该厦每层面积达5万平方呎，为同区非常罕有，吸引企业迁入作整合业务。

另外，九龙湾啟汇获医院管理局租用2层半，楼面达9万平方呎，呎租料约17元。医管局表示，计划将现时位于九龙湾国际展贸中心的资讯科技及医疗信息部办公室迁往啟汇，搬迁工作将于明年初展开。

Tesla 转租荃湾 作写字楼及陈列室

另外，亦有大型品牌进行搬迁，荃湾沙咀道1号环贸广场低层3至7室，面积合共约5,740平方呎，以每呎约18元租出，每月租金约10万元，新租客为电动车龙头品牌Tesla，该品牌目前租用九龙湾国际展贸中心地下及楼下办公室，相信 Tesla 看好荃湾区租金较便宜，而物业属全新，故决定租用。据了解，是次 Tesla 除了租用办公室外，亦租用物业地下8个铺位，面积合共约7,045平方呎，月租约35万元，呎租近50元，料作品牌陈列室之用。

至于东九龙一向是政府部门集中地，观塘创纪之城1期3万平方呎楼面，获政府机构租用，呎租约25元。据了解，新租客为政府部门，料属旗下选举事务处使用。该办事处主力负责选民登记、举办选举等工作，需要一定楼面运作，该部门原租用九展，是次属搬迁兼扩充。

资料显示，现时东九龙空置率高见两成，区内亦有新商厦落成，或多或少构成压力，如今大批租客迁出九展，于同区进行搬迁，个别更涉及近10万平方呎，故可消化一批楼面，紓缓空置情况。

啟德区内首个大型商场 AIRSIDE 昨日开幕，面积达70万平方呎。南丰表示，出租率约9成，而7成商户赶及今日营业，集团斥逾千万进行推广。对于近期政府或会为楼市减辣的消息，集团指若撤两项印花税，足以推动楼市。

AIRSIDE 商场昨日以试业形式开幕，涉及物业地库至9楼多层，提供70万平方呎楼面，昨日中午开幕后，即吸引大批市民前来。南丰集团香港地产处执行董事许谦让表示，目前出租率约9成，而7成商户赶及昨日营业，集团于试业期间，已斥逾千万元进行推广。

AIRSIDE 设有不少餐饮娱乐设施，包括设有3.3万呎的 MCL AIRSIDE 戏院，设有7个影院及900个座位，同时亦是全港首个设于商场内的大型冲浪场，佔地逾万平方呎。食肆方面则有约40间特色餐厅，包括日本人气抹茶名店 nana's green tea 在港首间分店等，同时，超市 City'super 亦开设2.5万呎分店，及日本品牌 MUJI 无印良品进驻开设逾1.2万呎分店。

配合夜经济 个别餐厅开至午夜

近期政府积极推夜经济，许谦让指，AIRSIDE 商场的营业时间由早上10时至晚上10时，为配合夜经济，个别餐厅将营业到午夜12时，若有其他商户有意延长开业时间，集团将配合。于中秋及十一黄金周前夕，他指商场亦设有中港巴士站、穿梭巴士至邮轮码头，以吸纳游客生意。

至于项目写字楼方面，他指出租率约4成，现有两客户正洽租中，若落实出租率增至近5成。他表示写字楼租务气氛近月变化不大，仍有不少外地客户来港睇楼。他指，AIRSIDE 总投资额320亿元，而目前市场已度过最艰难时期，集团旗下商场生意，已超越了2019年的水平。

近日有消息指，政府有可能在楼市措施上减辣，他表示若属实集团相当欢迎，认为若在买家印花税 (BSD) 及双倍印花税 (DSD) 上减辣，已对楼市有正面推动。他指，若政府减辣，集团将重推旗下将军澳日出康城LP10特色单位。

MTRC seeks interest in Tung Chung site

The MTR Corporation (0066) is inviting developers to submit expressions of interest for a property development at Tung Chung East Station from today until October 6, 2023.

Opposite the future MTR Tung Chung East Station, the Tung Chung East Station Property Development pertains to the lot identified as Tung Chung Town Lot No. 53.

The station is scheduled for completion in 2029.

The package one project for tender this time is situated in the southeastern section of the entire development, with a maximum residential gross floor area of 64,650 square meters and a maximum commercial gross floor space of 8,133 sq m.

Based on market estimates, the land price is projected to range from HK$2,000 to 4,000 per square foot, with an estimated valuation for the first phase ranging from HK$1.57 billion to 3.13 billion.

In other developments, Nan Fung Group's Airside, a shopping mall spanning 70,000 square feet atop Kai Tak Station, officially opened yesterday, achieving an overall rental occupancy rate of 90 percent.

With the upcoming holidays, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) is launching various reward activities across its 12 major shopping malls. It is anticipated that these activities will boost foot traffic and sales at the malls by a projected year-on-year increase of 15 percent and 25 percent, respectively.

Hong Kong developers set to delay launch of new flats as sector counts on easing of property cooling measures: agents

Developers may hold off on launching sales at new projects until the government eases decade-old curbs, which is now seen as highly likely

Buyers also taking a wait-and-see approach ahead of Hong Kong leader’s annual policy address on October 25, agents say

Hong Kong property developers are expected to put their latest projects on hold as the property sector widely anticipates that long-standing cooling measures that add to the cost of buying a home will be eased soon, according to property agents.

“Some residential projects may stand by and launch as soon as the government eases the cooling measures,” an agent said.

Projects like KT Marina in Kai Tak, a new phase of Sun Hung Kai Properties’ Novo Land in Tuen Mun, and Yoho West in Tin Shui Wai are prime candidates for delays in launch plans, the agent said.

The anticipation comes after the government gave its strongest hint yet that it could soon ease the cooling measures, with Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po saying on Wednesday that the conditions that prompted authorities to impose them more than a decade ago no longer prevailed.

“The market has been quiet recently, partly because buyers also remain on a wait-and-see attitude until the [government’s annual] policy address on October 25,” the agent said, adding that transactions will continue to hover at a low level until then.

Earlier in July, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation relaxed loan rules covering some homes to make them more accessible for first-time buyers and easier for owners to trade.

It was the first easing of curbs since the HKMA launched measures in 2009 to reduce potential risks to financial stability arising from an overheated property market.

Despite that move, Hong Kong’s property market has cooled as multiple headwinds, including the economic outlook, elevated interest rates and a glut of new flats, continue to weigh on buyer sentiment.

Lived-in home prices in August fell 1.4 per cent month on month, the fourth straight month of decline, according to an index compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department.

Analysts widely expect home prices to drop by about 5 per cent by the end of this year, after seven major lenders, including the three note-issuing banks – HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of China (Hong Kong) – said they would raise their mortgage rates last week.

KT Marina, a new project in Kai Tak, jointly developed by K. Wah International, Wheelock Properties and China Overseas, is expected to launch sales in October.

“We have not made a decision on when the sale will take place, but will closely monitor the market condition,” Tony Wan, director of sales and marketing for Hong Kong Properties at K. Wah International, said on Thursday when asked whether the project will launch after the policy address.

The developer said KT Marina, with a total of 2,138 units, will launch its first phase with 1,017 units. The project has received presale consent and was originally slated to launch earlier this year.

Wan said he hopes the government can start by easing the buyer’s stamp duty, as the 15 per cent tax on non-permanent residents buying their first property in the city affects mainland and foreign investors.

Easing it would attract more foreign professionals to “settle down in Hong Kong”, he said.

He also suggested lowering the ad valorem (according to value) rate to encourage Hong Kong people to invest more in local properties, as the residential rental market has recently shown good performance, making it attractive to investors.
