Interest high as LP10 goes on sale Saturday
Nan Fung Group has received over 3,000 checks for LP10 in Lohas Park and will offer 179 units for sale on Saturday.
With over 3,000 checks received, the 179 homes have been around 15 times oversubscribed.
Among the 179 units, the cheapest flat, measuring 485 sq ft, is being offered for HK$6.99 million, or HK$14,412 per sq ft, after discounts.
On Monday, Nan Fung Group released 90 units in the second price list of LP10 at Lohas Park, for an average price of HK$16,130 per sq ft after discounts, about 1.5 percent higher than the first price list.
Meanwhile, Wheelock Properties expects to receive 3,000 checks for Monaco in Kai Tak. The developer will offer 133 units for sale tomorrow.
Wheelock Properties previously released 100 units in the fourth price list of Monaco, at an average price of HK$24,409 per sq ft after discounts, about 8 percent higher than the first price list.
In the luxury residential market, property agent expect that the luxury prices to fall by another 5 percent to 10 percent in 2021.
Any revival at the top end of the residential market will depend on the timing and extent of border reopenings, in particular with mainland China, agent said.
But the first batch of reentering investors are likely to be bargain hunters looking for discounted assets, and there will be an increased number of new luxury launches, the agent said.
"The luxury market endured a difficult year in 2020, in particular at the top end with border closures hindering both potential buyers and capital inflows," the agent said.
Luxury volumes fell from 203 transactions in October to 127 in December last year, with the drop mostly felt in the HK$20 million to HK$50 million bracket, according to Savills.
In the secondary market, a 378 sq ft flat at Amoy Gardens in Kwun Tong changed hands for HK$6.08 million, or HK$16,085 per sq ft, after HK$400,000 was cut from the original asking price. The vendor, who purchased the unit for HK$3.9 million in 2013, will earn a capital gain of about HK$2.18 million.
For comparison, panic selling during the 2003 SARS epidemic saw a flat at Amoy Gardens - the epicenter of the outbreak - change hands for HK$550,000.

Goldin backs down over tower sale
Cash-strapped develoepr Goldin Financial (0530) said the sale of the Goldin Financial Global Centre to the receivers will go ahead, as the company has lost control over that 28-story Grade A office building in Kowloon East.
The original agreement, in which Goldin agreed to sell the property to the buyer, has been terminated, it said.
Hong Kong's High Court previously ruled that the building remains under the control of the receivers - Cosimo Borrelli and Simon Ma Siu-ming - who were appointed by Goldin's creditors after the developer failed to meet its debt obligations.
The developer had earlier proposed disposing of the tower by selling the entire issued share capital of both Cheng Mei and Goal Eagle to the purchaser under the provisional agreement last September, which has now been scrapped.

Hong Kong developers Wharf, CK Asset gear up to launch luxury projects as surging stock market creates vast new wealth
Wharf (Holdings) and CK Asset Holdings are lining up to release their new developments on The Peak and in the Mid-Levels soon
Shares of tech giants like Tesla and Tencent have skyrocketed, generating vast amounts of new-found wealth, say analysts
Some of Hong Kong’s biggest developers are seizing the moment to launch their super deluxe projects to capitalise on a surging stock market and the prospect of a market recovery in the second half of the year.
Wharf (Holdings) and CK Asset Holdings are lining up to release their new developments on The Peak and in the Mid-Levels soon, with one house carrying an estimated price tag of HK$812.68 million (US$104.83).
Wharf is going to offer its second project on The Peak, on Peak Road, for sale after it paid a record HK$12 billion for another parcel of land in nearby Mansfield Road via government tender last month. The total investment in its Mansfield Road site could total HK$15 to HK$16 billion, according to property consultants.
Developers are launching luxury projects now as the imminent roll-out of vaccines and the stunning performance of the stock market generate optimism of an upturn in the residential property sector, according to property agent.
“The market [anticipates] there could be recovery in 2021. For such luxury projects, it does not matter if they sell slowly anyway,” the agent said.
The Hang Seng Index on Tuesday surged to the highest level in 20 months with daily turnover at an all-time high, as mainland funds poured into the world’s cheapest major market. Its has recouped US$2.5 trillion of market value from March 2020 lows, generating huge quantities of new wealth.
Wharf plans to offer six of the eight houses at its super deluxe development, 77 and 79 Peak Road, for tender as early as the first quarter.
Prices for the development will be guided by its sister project, Mount Nicholson, about a 10-minute drive away, as well as part of the redevelopment of Ho Tung Garden at 75 Peak Road which fetched HK$110,000 per square foot, said Ricky Wong, managing director of sales agent Wheelock Properties,
House 77A in Peak Road, called Woodside, is one of the largest, at 7,388 sq ft. At HK$110,000 per sq ft, that would price the property at HK$811.8 million.
“The luxury market is another market. These buyers are strong [financially], they are strong at creating wealth,” said Wong.
Wong cited investors and shareholders in technology giants like Tesla and Tencent whose share prices have skyrocketed in recent years as examples of potential buyers with vast amounts of new-found wealth.
Meanwhile, CK Asset will soon launch 21 Borrett Road in the West Mid-Levels, having bought the plot in 2011. The three-tower project has 115 flats measuring 2,075 to 3,378 sq ft.
Units will cost more than HK$100 million each, CK Asset’s executive director Justin Chiu previously estimated. While the prices have not yet been set, agents estimated that flats sold at tender could fetch over HK$75,000 per sq ft.
The luxury housing market in the Southern district and on The Peak saw 149 transactions in 2020, up about 10 per cent on the year, according to another property agent.
In December, Sun Hung Kai Properties sold three houses at its Central Peak project to investors related to logistics company SF Express for about HK$490 million. A house at La Hacienda on The Peak changed hands for HK$235 million this week.
Some analysts remain cautious about the market outlook.
“The market remains locked up with few new arrivals and a trickle of leavers, a situation likely to persist into the first quarter of this year,” agent said.
Some lived-in luxury homes have sold for discounts of up to a fifth as the city struggles through its worst economic recession on record.
“For a small number of owners in financial difficulties who urgently need capital, the price reduction can reach 20 per cent. Buyers can take advantage of the opportunity to snap up bargains,” agent said.
