外資代理行：今年商廈租金料跌逾2%

有外資代理行指，新落成寫字樓樓面推高待租率，通關有望帶動商務活動，料2023年租金跌幅收窄，不過，全年跌幅料2至4%。

新供應推高空置率

該行代理表示，2022年第四季整體租金水平受壓，按季和按年分別下調3.5%和7.3%。同時，不少企業積極承租優質商廈，作升級搬遷之用。

去年第4季租金下調3.5%

受環球經濟不確定性持續，商業氣氛審慎，在2022年第四季，香港甲級廈租賃市場淨吸納量回落至負2.71萬方呎，主要受中區 (負6.78萬方呎) 和九龍東 (負3.04萬方呎) 所影響，灣仔及銅鑼灣 (正7.82萬方呎) 和尖沙嘴區 (正3.04萬方呎)。然而，2022年全年淨吸納量自2019年以來首次重返正數，至25.06萬方呎，主要受新供應的預租活動支持。去年第四季整體租金按季和按年分別跌3.5%和7.3%。

去年錄25萬方呎正吸納量

展望2023年，他表示，今年將有約190萬方呎新寫字樓新供應，坐落中區 (76.27萬方呎)、九龍東 (58.89萬方呎) 和九龍西 (54.12萬方呎)，整體待租率或在今年年底前，被推至18%至19%水平。在高待租水平下，寫字樓租金表現將持續受壓，但2023年跌幅有望收窄至2%至4%。

High five for duplex price in Pok Fu Lam

A five-room flat at Residence Bel-Air in Pok Fu Lam was sold for a record price of HK$188 million for a duplex.

With an area of 3,824 square feet, that meant the high-level apartment in tower five of phase four of Residence Bel-Air went for HK$49,163 per square foot.

It also enjoys a full sea view and features an aerial platform of about 250 square feet.

According to a property agency, the original owner bought the flat for HK$96.8 million in 2012. So the seller marked up a profit of HK91.2 million with an appreciation of 94 percent.

Meanwhile, another high-level flat - this one in Han Kung Mansion in Taikoo Shing - went for just over HK$10 million.

The price was HK$17,328 psf, a three-month high for similar flats. This one has two bedrooms with a sellable area of 580 sq ft.

The buyer decided to purchase the unit before the Lunar New Year as the asking price fitted a budget, another property agency said. And the buyer feared missing the opportunity because of the recent recovery in the property market.

The original owner purchased the property in October 2012 for HK$7.38 million and so made a profit of about HK$2.67 million, or about 36 percent on the resale.

Still, some flats have been selling after huge price cuts and even losses for vendors.

A two-bedroom low-level unit at The Regent in Tai Po was sold for HK$6.85 million, about 2.1 percent lower than the asking price.

It has an area of 475 sq ft, an open kitchen, and a psf price of HK$14,989. The first agency said the former owner bought it in 2019 for HK$7.07 million and so suffered a loss of HK$220,000, or 3.1 percent.

And a three-bedroom low-level flat at Yuk Ming Court in Tseung Kwan O went for HK$4.5 million after HK$2.88 million was cut from the asking price, which was HK$7.38 million a year ago.

Meanwhile, developers are launching promotions for sales of new projects.

At the high end, 128 Waterloo in Ho Man Tin will pay the ad valorem stamp duty for buyers, which will be capped at 3.75 percent of the purchase price for a maximum discount in excess of HK$700,000.

Two luxury units at Grand Victoria II were sold off yesterday, allowing Sino Land (0083), Wheelock Properties,

K Wah International (0173) and SEA Group (0251) to cash in HK$128 million in total.
