恒基統一土瓜灣舊樓業權 底價9.6億購入 併毗鄰物業擴規模

市區土地供應罕有，不少發展商透過強拍舊樓以增加土儲，由恒基併購長達6年的土瓜灣落山道、美華街及下鄉道舊樓，昨天舉行強制拍賣，由恒基在無對手下，成功以底價9.62億摘下該舊樓業權。

上述項目位於土瓜灣落山道58至70號、美華街1至9號及下鄉道18至20號，上月中旬獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令，底價9.62億；昨天在舉行公開拍賣，結果由手持「8號」牌的恒基執行董事黃浩明，在無對手下以底價投得，成功統一業權發展。

該舊樓現為樓齡約61年的商住物業，地下為商鋪，樓上則為住宅樓層，地盤面積約10196方呎，現為「住宅 (甲類)」用途，如重建成商住發展，預計可建總樓面約91764方呎。

發展中小型單位

資料顯示，恒基已就土瓜灣道68A至70C號申請強拍，而據恒基年報顯示，計畫將上述地盤土瓜灣道，連同是次獲批強拍令的項目合併發展，總地盤面積增至4.2萬方呎，料重建後自佔商住總樓面約37.4萬方呎。

總地盤面積4.2萬呎

黃浩明指出，上述落山道舊樓項目併購時間長達約6年，未來發展中小型單位為主，詳細設計未落實，由於鄰近仍有併購項目，故未能透露投資總額。

黃浩明：倡降強拍門檻

對於政府擬研究降低強拍門檻，黃浩明認為，降低強拍門檻對市區重建有幫助，唯要在發展與私有產權之間取得平衡，認為可以適度進行調整，建議降至七成最有實際作用，而某些特定區域或特殊情況可考慮進一步降低強拍門檻百分比。

而本月初市建局同區截意向書的鴻福街、啟明街及榮光街的4個重建項目的合併發展，集團亦有興趣入意向書。另外，油塘灣項目補地價仍進行上訴當中。

對市建同區項目具興趣

代理表示，屯馬綫通車釋放土瓜灣的重建潛力，並帶動區內的住屋需求。未來市區土地供應短缺的問題將持續加劇，相信市區舊樓住宅物業將備受市場追捧。

資料顯示，連同昨以底價投得的項目，恒基今年迄今循強拍途徑已成功統一6個舊樓項目，涉及金額約67.88億，若計及本月中旬舉行強拍的西半山羅便臣道94、94A及96號舊樓項目，即合計共7個項目，涉及總金額約73.101億。

沙田小瀝源轉型住宅 區內將變天

住宅供應緊張，政府積極就工業用地進行檢討，而近日規劃署建議就沙田小瀝源、涉約80.5萬平方呎的工業地改劃為住宅。同時，近年沙田石門積極轉型為新興商貿區，區內數個商廈及酒店已經相繼落成及提供服務。

政府在70年代發展沙田新市鎮時，將石門一帶打造成工業區，增加區內的就業機會。不過，隨着工業向北移，該區工廈用途漸漸改變，多座已經轉型作工業外的用途。此外，社會對房屋需求殷切，工廈重建漸成新增房屋供應的出路。

而根據規劃署最新《全港工業用地檢討》文件顯示，署方建議將位於沙田小瀝源、鄰近港鐵第一城站的工業用地，改劃為「住宅 (戊類)」用途。

7工廈建議改劃住宅

是次建議改劃的用地，鄰近第一城站及愉翠苑，佔地約80.5萬平方呎，以發展貨倉及製造業為主。改劃地點現涉及7座工廈，包括由捷和集團持有的捷和中心、金利來集團 (00533) 旗下的金利來集團中心、新地 (00016) 旗下載通 (00062) 的九巴巴士廠、太古可口可樂廠、冠華鏡廠旗下冠華大廈、及業權較分散的沙田工業中心A及B座等。

值得留意的是，上址的中央位置為載通旗下巴士廠，捷和實業大廈及捷和中心正申請改裝成為寫字樓及零售用途，另亦有一宗正申請重建商業發展，預計兩項申請佔小瀝源工業面積約26%。至於位於小瀝源源康街及源順圍交界、由新地持有，並已發展為帝逸酒店的用地，則屬商業用途。

石門成新興商貿區

事實上，近年政府批出多幅石門的商業地，而該一帶亦相繼有多個商業項目推出，成為新興商貿區，吸引不少商店進駐。當中同由新地發展的W LUXE，早前再度重推餘貨單位。發展商於2015年10月以6.7億元投得的安耀街商貿地，當時每平方呎樓面地價3,886元，現時已發展為1幢26層的商廈。

至於石門站旁邊的商業地皮，亦已發展為京瑞廣場1期及2期。項目均由億京發展，總樓面約100萬平方呎，並已經分拆業權。受惠於屯馬綫開通，自第2季起，該項目的商舖交投轉旺。

Luxury home deals soar 131pc to record high

Hong Kong saw a record 199 transactions for luxury residential homes worth over HK$100 million in the first three quarters of 2021, up 131.4 percent from a year ago and 23.6 percent higher than 2018 when the market was also buoyant, real estate consultancy said.

The market value of luxury homes dropped 12.6 percent over 18 months between mid-2019 and end-2020 but on entering 2021, as prices were perceived to have sufficiently corrected, buying sentiment began to return and the number of transactions rose, according to the consultancy’s research.

Consequently, prices of luxury homes have rebounded 5.7 percent in the nine months since the beginning of this year, though they are still 7.6 percent below their peak.

the consultancy expects that a total of 478 residential homes with areas of more than 160 square meters will be completed this year, an increase of 83.8 percent over last year.

It said the supply of these residences will remain comparatively high in the years to come with 429 expected in 2022 and 332 expected in 2023.

Despite a somewhat higher supply of large-size homes in the near term, truly luxury units in desirable locations will continue to be acquisition targets by wealthy buyers, it added.

Meanwhile, Henderson Land Development (0012) has acquired a residential site in To Kwa Wan through a compulsory sale with a reserve price of HK$962 million.

The developer controlled 96.24 percent of the ownership of the site, which is a 61-year-old building at the junction of 58 to 70 Lok Shan Road, 1 to 9 Lai Wa Street, and 18 to 20 Ha Heung Road.

The site may be included in a nearby redevelopment project in Lai Wa Street and To Kwa Wan Road, which covers about 42,500 square feet and a buildable area of over 374,300 square feet, according to the developer's interim report.

Separately, 13 homes at Grand Victoria II in West Kowloon will be put on sale on Saturday.

In other news, Sino Land (0083) said it will launch four major residential projects next year, providing a total of 5,000 units. The developer has cashed in HK$24 billion by selling 1,873 homes, or 94 percent of the total units at its Grand Central project in Kwun Tong.

And Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said that its new project, the Yoho Hub atop Yuen Long Station with a total of 1,030 units, is expected to receive pre-sale consent this week.

Demand driving prices up, says Far East boss

Far East Consortium International's (0035) managing director Chris Hoong Cheong-thard expects Hong Kong's property prices will keep rising, driven by the strong demand, and the company will continue to sell its non-core assets including small parking lots and hotels not directly managed under its own brand.

Despite the government's proposals to increase land and residential supply, Hoong believes no substantial changes will be seen in the next three to four years. And as for the medium term, he thinks that the inflation-led increase in construction material prices will be reflected in property prices.

Analysts had said the HK$7.96 billion Kai Tai property that the company bought in partnership with New World Development (0017) from Kaisa Group (1638) was too expensive, but Hoong said some of the work on the project had already been completed, which would save them lot in terms of cost and time.

The residential project is expected to be completed in 2024 or in 2025, he added.

The developer's interim net profit more than tripled to HK$1.07 billion from a year ago while the interim dividend declared remained unchanged at 4 HK cents. The profit surge was mainly due to the 115 million (HK$1.2 billion) disposal of the Dorsett City London and revaluation gains attributable to Hong Kong and Singapore properties. Revenue for the six months ended September slightly rose to HK$3.12 billion, of which hotel operations income increased by 81.2 percent year-on-year to HK$658.56 million.

Henderson continues to build up its land bank in Hong Kong, invests over US$1.1 billion in redevelopment projects

Land Tribunal approves application from Henderson to buy out a building in To Kwa Wan earmarked for development for HK$962 million

In September, Hong Kong’s third largest developer won another redevelopment project offered by the Urban Renewal Authority in the same area for HK$8.2 billion

Henderson Land Development, which earlier this month bid a record HK$50.8 billion (US$6.5 billion) for a harbourfront commercial plot in Hong Kong, is gradually boosting its land bank in other parts of the city.

Hong Kong’s third largest developer by market capitalisation has invested more than HK$9 billion in Kowloon’s To Kwa Wan area since the MTR station opened in June.

Henderson on Tuesday completed the acquisition of a 100 per cent stake in a 61-year-old eight-storey residential building under the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance through its wholly owned subsidiary Asia Bright Enterprises. The Land Tribunal approved an application from Henderson to force a compulsory sale for the building at a reserve valuation of HK$962 million.

“We will redevelop the building with a focus on small to medium-sized flats,” said Augustine Wong Ho-ming, executive director of Henderson Land.

Developers are increasingly seeking redevelopment opportunities in urban areas in view of limited land supply from the government. Fifty-eight applications for compulsory sale orders were under process as of September. These applications have been increasing over the past couple of years, rising from 22 in 2019 to 27 in 2020, government data shows.

The upcoming project on the site, located at the intersection of Lok Shan Road, Mei Wa Street and Ha Heung Road, will have a total gross floor area of 91,764 sq ft, with the valuation working out to HK$10,438 per square feet, according to property consultancy, the auctioneer for the compulsory sale.

Two months earlier, Henderson won another redevelopment project offered by the Urban Renewal Authority in the same area for HK$8.2 billion.

“The opening of the Tuen Ma Line has unlocked the redevelopment potential of To Kwa Wan and will lead to an increase in housing demand in the area,” property consultant said. “Given the lack of land supply in urban areas is expected to worsen, we believe that old buildings in urban residential areas will continue to be well sought-after.”

To Kwa Wan MTR station is on the Tuen Ma line, the city’s longest rail corridor at 56km with 27 stations. It links the east and west of the New Territories and includes interchange stations on the existing railway network.

The Tuen Ma line’s first phase, connecting Wu Kai Sha and Kai Tak by way of Tai Wai, Hin Keng and Diamond Hill, opened in February last year. The rest of the line running from Kai Tak to Hung Hom through Sung Wong Toi, To Kwa Wan and Ho Man Tin opened in June this year.

The opening of the To Kwa Wan MTR station is expected to have a big impact on residential developments in the area, another property consultant said, who estimated the construction cost for Henderson’s latest acquisition would be around HK$6,500 per sq ft.

“The landscape in To Kwa Wan is expected undergo a dramatic change. There are about 20 redevelopment projects under construction or in the process of compulsory sale,” the consultant said.

“It will take about 15 years to complete all the potential redevelopments that are under way,” the consultant said.

Hong Kong property firms pick up assets on the cheap from stricken mainland Chinese developers

A joint venture between Far East Consortium and New World snapped up land at Kai Tak from Kaisa Group for just over US$1 billion

Sharpview Investment recently took a majority stake in a project at Mid-Levels from China Aoyuan Group for HK$900 million

Mid-sized Hong Kong property firms are picking up residential plots at heavily discounted prices from cash-strapped mainland Chinese developers who are speeding up asset sales to repay debt.

Far East Consortium International recently snapped up two land parcels, one of which was from the heavily indebted Kaisa Group Holdings.

“We may allocate more resources to increase our land bank in Hong Kong after we cashed in on our overseas property investments,” Chris Hoong Cheong Thard, managing director of Far East Consortium.

Since 2015 the developer has diversified its property investments in various markets like Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and Britain, maximising its investment opportunities by taking advantage of different property cycles.

Highly indebted Chinese developers, from China Evergrande Group to Kaisa, have been trying to buy time with partial repayments and debt restructurings in recent months as they have faced a liquidity crunch after Beijing instituted new rules design to stem speculative bubbles in the residential property sector.

Last week River Riches, a 50:50 joint venture between Far East and New World Development affiliate Modern Culture acquired a plot in Kai Tak, the site of city’s former airport, from Kaisa. The duo paid HK$7.9 billion for the land, much lower than the plot’s audited value of HK$9.8 billion.

“We struck the Kai Tak deal very fast,” he said, adding that the price works out to HK$13,829 per square foot.

It was about 5 per cent lower than the HK$14,497 per square foot for a neighbouring site that was sold to a consortium of Wheelock Properties, New World, Henderson Land Development and Empire Group in November 2018.

The joint venture between Far East, controlled by the family of David Chiu, and New World, which is majority owned by the family of the Cheng Kar-shun, is not new.

The pair jointly developed the Artra residential project in Singapore, selling all 400 units when it was launched in October last year.

In Australia, Far East and the Cheng family’s private investment arm, Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, were part of a consortium that won a contract to develop a multipurpose resort development in Brisbane, Queensland, in 2015. The A$3.6 billion (US$2.6 billion) Queen’s Wharf Brisbane will be fully operational in 2024.

On Monday, Far East announced its net profit jumped 206 per cent to HK$1.07 billion for the six months to September. The hefty increase in earnings was partly due to the sale of its four-star hotel Dorsett City London for £115 million (US$153.2 million) and improvement in hotel operations after shifting of focus to quarantine stays.

Far East also bought another residential parcel in Lam Tei, Tuen Mun, from the family of “shop king” Tang Shing-bor who died in May, Hoong said, without disclosing the price.

The Tang family has been selling down its portfolio at deep discounts, after its hospitality business collapsed because of the social unrest in 2019 followed by the coronavirus outbreak.

Far East’s previous land acquisition came three years earlier in August 2019 when it won a hotel site in Kai Tak for a lower-than-expected HK$2.45 billion. Located next to the proposed Kai Tak Sports Park, the firm said it planned to develop a four-star hotel with 300 to 400 rooms and an office tower at a total investment of HK$4.5 billion, including the land cost.

The Kai Tak plot acquired from Kaisa will yield a total gross floor area of 574,733 sq ft, with flats likely to go on sale as early as 2023, Hoong said.

A surveyor said that mainland developers have built up a strong presence in Hong Kong’s property market, either by taking part in government tenders or acquiring old buildings for redevelopment, in the past five to seven years.

Acquiring land from struggling mainland Chinese developers “will become an alternative for land replenishment among Hong Kong developers who have strong balance sheets”, the surveyor said.

China Aoyuan Group said it sold a 86 per cent stake in the 54-year-old Yin Yee Mansion at Robinson Road, Mid-Levels, for HK$900 million through its wholly owned subsidiary Aoyuan Property (Hong Kong) to Sharpview Investment Development, according to a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange on November 14.

The mainland developer said the group expect to recognise an estimated loss of HK$176.6 million from the deal.

“Offloading assets will be one of the fastest ways for cash-strapped developers to raise cash flow,” another surveyor said.

君豪石金禹 就港豪宅加按1億

多年來掃近28億物業 涉MOUNT NICHOLSON洋房等

近年在香港購入28億元物業的內房君豪集團總裁石金禹，據資料顯示，近日先後將持有的山頂豪宅向財務公司加按，包括借取約1億元二按。

石金禹或相關人士近年在香港掃入眾多豪宅及商廈，包括2017年及2019年以17.8億元購入山頂MOUNT NICHOLSON三間洋房、2017年9月以7.4億元購入甲廈中環中心頂樓單位，以及市傳在今年初以2.4億元「買殼」購入山頂倚巒雙號屋，多年來掃入近28億元物業。

不過，據市場消息指，石金禹或相關人士近期陸續就持有物業加按，包括在今年11月先後就山頂MOUNT NICHOLSON兩間洋房、倚巒雙號屋，以及中環中心頂樓加按。

中環中心已累積「三按」

其中，最先加按的是中環中心頂樓單位，石氏等在今年6月向恒生借取二按，其後再在11月10日就MOUNT NICHOLSON雙號洋房向財務公司借取二按，再在上月中一併將MOUNT NICHOLSON、倚巒兩間洋房以及中環中心向財務公司加按借取1億元，其中中環中心累積已經「三按」。

據資料顯示，石金禹為君豪集團總裁，據君豪集團網頁顯示，該公司2010年成立，屬於內地一間以房地產開發、酒店商用、倉儲物流等業務為主的公司，在杭州、新疆、哈爾濱、深圳、四川等地擁有地產項目，總資產值達400億元。亦有外媒在今年7月曾報道，該財團以7,200萬元英鎊購入英國倫敦金融城Bavaria House項目，將會重建成44層高商廈。

近期在中央三綫紅綫政策下，不少內房企業資金鏈緊張，因而抵押在香港物業，包括早前傳媒報道，世茂集團股東許榮茂家族向星展銀行抵押持有的中環中心3層商廈，以取得14億元貸款。

另外早前恒大 (03333) 主席許家印或相關人士抵押山頂3間洋房物業。

九龍城嘉林邊道舊樓申強拍 已收集98%業權 市場估值逾1.6億

近年市區優質土地供應罕有，不少財團透過強拍途徑增加土儲；最新有財團併購的九龍城嘉林邊道28A至28B號舊樓，向土地審裁處申請強拍，以統一業權發展，目前該財團集齊逾98%業權，市場對整個項目估值逾1.6億。

據土地審裁處文件顯示，是次申請強拍的財團持有28A號100%業權，而28B號則持有96.875%業權，即平均持有約98.4375%業權，目前餘下1個物業並未成功收購，估值約327.6萬；市場對上述整個項目估值約1.68911億。

上述地盤面積10070方呎，現劃為「住宅 (乙類)」用途，若以地積比率5倍重建發展計，可建總樓面約50350方呎。現址為1幢樓高3層的舊樓，該廈早於1950年落成入伙，至今樓齡約71年。該項目鄰近碧桂園發展新盤瓏碧，距離港鐵宋皇臺站約15至20分鐘步程，具重建價值。

尚餘一伙未成功收購

是次申請強拍的財團為金楓集團有限公司 (Gold Focus Holdings Limited)，資料顯示，該公司今年8月中旬曾以近7000萬收購香港善一堂道德協會持有的嘉林邊道28B號2樓單位，當時金楓集團公司董事為梁逸文及鄭榮財。

事實上，自港鐵屯馬綫全面通車後，九龍城發展步伐亦漸加快，除上述項目外，今年初亦有財團申請強拍毗鄰的嘉林邊道26A及26B號、聯合道13A及13B號舊樓，市場估值約1.7593億；地盤面積約8000方呎，可建總樓面約40000方呎，當時申請強拍的財團為南悅投資 (香港)、南都環球 (香港)、盛添控股 (香港) 公司，上述3家公司董事均為徐凱祥、林潞、楊偉成，其中徐凱祥為內地投石私人智庫創辦人。

可建總樓面約5.03萬呎

上述嘉林邊道28A至28B號項目為今年以來土地審裁處接獲的第14宗強拍申請，對比去年同期34宗，勁減20宗，跌幅高達58.8%。

Hong Kong luxury home sales recover from Covid-19-induced slump, to hit record high this year

Transactions of upscale homes worth more than HK$100 million (US$12.8 million) reached HK$46.4 billion in the first 11 months of the year.

Sales this year are on track to exceed the last record of HK$46.6 billion set in 2018.

Sales of luxury homes in Hong Kong are likely to hit a record high this year, after activity slumped last year as buyers stayed on the sidelines because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Transactions of homes worth more than HK$100 million (US$12.8 million) in the first 11 months of the year reached HK$46.4 billion (US$5.95 billion), nearly matching the all-time high of HK$46.6 billion achieved in 2018, according to property agency.

“If transactions in December exceed HK$200 million, a new record will be set this year,” property agent said. The value of luxury residential transactions from January to November was 60 per cent higher than the HK$29 billion for the whole of 2020, the agent added.

The surge in luxury home sales has been remarkable given that the city’s borders have been closed since early last year to stem the spread of Covid-19, which has kept some offshore capital from entering the market.

The listing of several mainland Chinese companies on the Hong Kong stock exchange is likely to have boosted appetite for upscale homes in the city from the newly minted billionaire founders of these companies, market observers said.

A total of 71 companies raised US$35.9 billion in the first nine months of the year through initial public offerings (IPOs) and secondary listings in Hong Kong, according to data compiled by Refinitiv. Seven of the 10 largest IPOs were US-listed Chinese tech companies seeking second or dual primary listings in the city.

Deals for 224 luxury residential units were concluded so far this year, 33.3 per cent higher than the 128 in 2020, with about half of the buyers from mainland China, property agency’s data showed.

Tang Lai Ching, the wife of SF Express founder Wang Wei, spent HK$493.2 million on three luxury properties in Mid-Levels in January, local media reported.

“Despite the sales velocity being slower for some of the newly launched projects, the prices [of luxury homes] increased 4.5 per cent,” the agent said.

Hong Kong’s luxury property market saw a correction between mid-2019 and end-2020, a period marked by the anti-government protests and four waves of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to another property agency. Prices fell 12.6 per cent during the period.

As of the third quarter this year, prices of luxury homes had rebounded by 5.7 per cent.

“Despite a somewhat higher supply of large size units in the near term, truly luxury units in desirable locations will continue to be acquisition targets by wealthy buyers both as a dwelling and prime investment asset,” agent said.

“Looking ahead, the capital values of luxury residences are likely to follow the momentum in transaction volume and nudge higher amid the recovery.”

疫情下，奢侈品大手租務減少，反而家品店相繼擴充，如德國家電品牌Bosch，租用銅鑼灣新商廈的全層舖位作旗艦店。

HDH Centre 商廈 12月落成

亨利發展集團位於銅鑼灣伊榮街1號的集團總部綜合式商廈，將於2021年12月落成，並命名為 HDH Centre (亨利集團中心)。該集團指，項目1樓全層，獲德國家電品牌Bosch租用，據悉面積約2,500平方呎，作為Bosch Home Appliances Showroom (博西華家電旗艦陳列室)。Bosch家電發言人表示，品牌家電旗艦店從中環移師銅鑼灣，旨在開拓年輕高消費客群。

HDH Centre 總建築面積約8.2萬平方呎，樓高25層，1樓為商舖，3至8樓為特色餐廳樓層。11至25樓是甲級標準寫字樓樓層，一梯一伙，其中21至22樓為複式樓層設計。

事實上，疫情下港人在家時間較以往多，令家電生意不跌反升，而品牌紛趁核心區舖位租金平作擴充。

如家電品牌德國寶，早前進駐銅鑼灣Fashion Walk，開設佔地2.7萬呎全新生活概念旗艦店 (Lifestyle Flagship Store)。新店佔地兩層，地下層展示德國寶全綫電器產品，2樓有廚房組合、傢俬專區等。

天梭表20萬租羅素街舖 租跌75%

憧憬通關 奢侈品「名店街」疫後首宗租務

奢侈品零售商憧憬通關在即，趁租金大幅下調提早重啟擴充。銅鑼灣羅素街一地舖，獲天梭表 (TISSOT) 以20萬元租用，較舊租大跌75%，與高峰期比較更急挫近9成。是次成交為接近兩年疫情以來，羅素街首宗鐘錶店租舖個案。

銅鑼灣羅素街近日錄得罕有舖位長租個案，消息指，羅素街59號地下B4號舖租出，該舖面積約900平方呎，獲長租客以每月約20萬元租用，租期為3年。該舖位於羅素街尾段，屬時代廣場通往希慎廣場必經之路，為區內一綫地段。該舖曾由鐘錶店租用，去年初已遷出，期間由不同商戶作短租，包括早前由手機零件店租用，經過年半交吉及短租後，直至近日獲長租客承接。

消息指，新租客為Swatch Group旗下天梭表 (TISSOT) 租用，該舖曾租用利園山道27號A至D號地下多年，亦即是次新址對面。據悉，品牌去年6月遷出該舖，當時月租約60萬元，如今以約每月20萬元，租用對面新舖。

翻查資料，是次新租務的羅素街59號舖位，多年來因市況起跌，租金出現大變化。2009年，舖位曾由化粧品店以約60萬元租用，其後零售高峰期，瑞士高級鐘錶品牌JAQUET DROZ以160萬搶租，呎租高達1,800元。

雷達錶80萬租用 去年遷出

其後於2016年隨着零售回落，韓國化粧品innisfree以60萬租用，租金已從高峰回落。該舖對上的長租客為雷達錶 (RADO)，2018年以約80萬元租用，去年遷出。按是次最新租金僅20萬元計，按對上租金跌約75%，若與最高峰期比較，大跌約88%。

疫情持續近兩年，令核心區零售商戶出現巨大變化，單計近一年多，羅素街商舖的商戶近乎「有出無入」，商戶遷出後乏長租客承接，導致吉舖處處。如羅素街尾段，目前大部分舖位為短租或交吉。疫情以來，地段便先後有勞力士等名錶店遷出，而金朝陽中心地下的愛彼錶，據悉亦將於明年遷出。是次天梭表租用舖位，為羅素街接近兩年以來，首宗鐘錶店新租個案。

業界：核心區租務仍會淡靜

據代理統計顯示，疫情令商舖租金下跌，現時核心區商舖租金較2018年，下跌近4成，而核心區商舖空置率，則由2018年最低4%，升至現時約17%，核心區如尖沙咀、旺角等，均是吉舖處處。

有業界人士認為，中港通關似乎在即，惟仍有不少變數，包括變種病毒出現，未知會否延遲通關計劃。代理指，奢侈品如鐘錶珠寶，絕大部分生意來自旅客，未來一年旅客會否大幅度重臨仍是疑問，故奢侈品仍是非常審慎，近期漸有鐘錶品牌重新租舖，主因租金出現大幅調整，才考慮個別重新落戶，但僅屬少數，他相信核心區舖位租務仍會相對淡靜。

工商鋪錄517宗買賣

疫市下工商鋪交投仍不俗，據代理指出，上月工商鋪錄517宗成交，連跌4個月後首度回升7.3%，惟同期註冊金額錄78.21億，按月下跌2.2%；該行預期中港兩地有機會於短期內通關，料後市走勢平穩。

代理：按月回升7.3%

有代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示，上月工商鋪各板塊註冊宗數全綫錄按月上升，其中，商廈註冊量最新報105宗，按月增加23.5%，增幅為各板塊之中最高。工廈及商鋪註冊量亦分別按月上升1.5%及8.7%，最新分別錄275及137宗，期間整體註冊宗數為517宗，為連跌四個月後首次回升，按月上升約7.3%。11月份依然錄得多宗大額成交註冊，註冊金額錄78.21億，按月微跌約2.2%。

金額78億按月跌2.2%

逾1億的物業則表現最好，註冊宗數按月躍升1.17倍，11月共錄得13宗，按月增加7宗，當中3宗為工廈物業註冊，商廈物業及鋪位物業則各佔5宗，其中鋪位註冊更涉資超過15億元，包括美孚新邨萬事達廣場多個鋪位及堅尼地城浚峯基座地下及1樓商鋪分別以約4.55億及3.92億成交，而工廈成交則包括以約3.9億成交的觀塘航空科技大廈全幢。

該行代理表示，近日中港恢復部分通關的進度稍有進展，本地民生消費亦保持穩定，民生區鋪位的投資氣氛暢旺，而近日多個寫字樓新盤亦為該板塊的投資市場帶來支持，反映不少投資者對本港零售及寫字樓前景仍然持正面態度。

新蒲崗東傲呎價9600元易手 創區內工廈新高 樓花期逾半年

工廈物業有價有市，由麒豐資本與傅老榕家族旗下廣興置業集團合作發展的新蒲崗重建工廈項目東傲，樓花期逾半年，昨日至少連沽10伙，其中有一個單位，成交呎價高見9600元，創同區工廈新高。

正當近日教協低價沽售新蒲崗商廈，呎價不足9000元，區內一個樓花期逾半年的工廈，以每呎9600元易手，創區內工廈新高。

由麒豐資本與傅老榕家族旗下廣興置業集團合作發展的新蒲崗重建工廈項目東傲，昨日至少連沽10伙，合共涉資約1.026億，成交價介乎697.92萬至1550.56萬，呎價則介乎8600元至9600元，其中，低層03室，面積1762方呎，以1550.56萬售出，呎價約8800元；至於項目成交呎價最高單位為中層02室，面積738方呎，以708.48萬售出，平均呎價約9600元，屬區內新高。

麒豐資本等發展

麒豐資本創辦合夥人暨投資總監洪英偉稱，該項目首批單位為VIP大手客時段，售價相當克制，料下周加推單位應市，客源仍傾向大手買家，具一定提價空間，項目於日後再加推單位予散客，現時客源七成為投資者、三成為用家。

對於項目單日連沽至少10伙，並套現逾億元，洪英偉指對銷情感滿意，項目為區內於過去15年以來首個全新工廈拆售項目。對於新變種病毒Omicron來勢洶洶，洪氏認為，疫情走勢難以預測，惟中港兩地有機會通關，屆時將對工商市場帶來刺激作用。此外，該項目亦傳出大手成交，市場消息指出，該項目低層全層，面積約7912方呎，以7000萬售出，呎價約8847元。

單日沽10單位 套現逾億元

資料顯示，該項目樓高24層，全層建築面積由1萬至1.5萬方呎，共提供193個工廈單位，面積由約700至2900方呎，預計於明年下半年落成；發展商早前指出，項目傾向先售予大手或全層買家，及該項目屬同區罕有供應，故有機會保留一半樓面長綫收租。上址前身為美華工廠大廈，麒豐資本在2018年8月向興勝創建以12.5億購入，每呎樓面地價約7000元，創當時九龍東工廈地價新高。

早前，教協沽售新蒲崗萬廸廣場低層3個單位，以3860萬元售出，以面積4534方呎計，呎價約8513元，原業主今年3月以5942萬購入，持貨僅8個月，帳面勁蝕約2082萬元，物業期間貶值約35%。

工商鋪受捧，大宗交易陸續湧現，據代理行統計，11月市場共錄約464宗工商鋪成交，涉及總金額約104.18億，對比10月份分別遞增約14%及37%。月內三個類別均錄逾億元成交，反映市場對工商鋪前景具信心，大額交易亦有助帶動中小額投資者入市信心。該行預測，工商鋪受惠多個利好政策，投資回報相對穩健，加上近期全新工廈全面開售，令工商鋪持續升溫。

金額錄約104億按月升37%

該行代理表示，資料顯示，11月份工商鋪共錄約464宗成交，對比上月回升約14%，不論工、商、鋪類別都上升，總計亦比2020年11月多出約20%。總成交金額同見理想，共錄約104.18億，按月遞增約37%，對比去年同期約145.71億就減少約28%。資料顯示，2020年11月份錄鰂魚涌太古城中心一座全幢成交，作價逾98.45億。

領展收購柴灣貨倉矚目

該代,理續表示，11月最大宗成交為全幢工廈，領展公佈以約27億收購柴灣嘉業街60號全幢貨倉大廈。鋪市以宗數取勝，連錄多宗逾億元成交，資深投資者黎永滔以約1.83億售出中環德己立街17至19號德和大廈地下01及01A號鋪。沉寂多時的商廈亦錄交易，結好控股以約4.2億售出上環中遠大廈10樓全層。

該代理認為，過往年底，投資者「收爐」或外遊，今年封關下，旅遊受限，加上工商鋪多個新盤推出，刺激市況熾熱。

今番夥拍陳秉志購入物業，為港置鋪位部前高層陳偉材，陳偉材表示，適逢碰上動亂及疫症，鋪市大跌，是吸納機會，除非再有第三宗壞消息，否則隨着通關及一切恢復正常，鋪位租售價勢必向上。他續說，鋪市最差時間已成過去，目前處谷底反彈，該巨鋪現時月入40多萬，1樓全層交吉，意向月租10多萬，料悉數租出後，回報4至5厘，開心業主割愛！

賈炳達道公園地 擬重置九龍城街市

市建局計劃重整九龍城舊區的土地規劃，透露將研究在賈炳達道公園重置九龍城街市等社區設施，以一地多用模式興建全新政府設施大樓；更會善用地下空間加建泊車位，優化九龍城小區的道路網絡，提供更多休憩空間。

市建重整九龍城舊區的土地規劃範圍由東面沙浦道一帶，涵蓋至西面聯合道土地，面積約18公頃、涉及500多幢樓宇和政府設施，當中逾半大廈樓齡超過50年。市建局行政總監韋志成發表網誌指出，九龍城舊區有3大市區更新挑戰，包括舊樓重建、政府設施重置和地區活化3個範疇，有需要利用新規劃方法，包括轉移地積比、街道整合，以至「一地多用」模式，克服挑戰。

一地多用 建政府設施大樓

他指出舊啟德機場搬遷後，九龍城區內放寬高度限制，吸引發展商重建，卻沒有加強區內規劃，出現單幢式重建。而侯王道一帶有市政大廈、門診等設施，搬遷及重置難度大；還有九龍城舊區歷史悠久，街舖食肆林立，也是地區經濟集中地，在重建過程中要保留區內小街小舖氛圍，挑戰甚大。

韋志成透露在參考地區意見後，市建局將研究重整賈炳達道公園的休憩及康樂設施，劃出部分公園用地，以一地多用模式興建全新政府設施大樓，用作搬遷九龍城街市等社區設施；他估計重建之後，可提供的社區設施樓面是現時3倍多，更會善用地下空間加建泊車位。

因應區內沙浦道重建項目擬建地下廣場連接九龍城及啟德新區，局方會研究將地下廣場與周邊道路和公園一併重整，成為連接新舊社區的主要門廊。他說市建局將為九龍城舊區土地作整全規劃，務求大幅改善舊區環境，達致新舊樓宇共融，包括試行「小區規劃復修」模式，為衙前圍道一帶不同樓齡、不同樓宇狀況的舊樓，提出針對性維修方案，達至舊區環境整體更新。

有測量師稱，支持市建局採用「小區規劃」模式落實九龍城區重建，認為區內樓宇低矮僅十層以下，日後可重建成近30層高，具重建潛力，也可提供更多社福設施及泊車位，有助改善區內環境。

數據中心租金 過去5年累升逾2成

協會會長李松德：供應將增400萬呎 價格趨穩

過去5年，數據中心的租金或服務費累積增長20至30%；不過，香港數據中心協會會長李松德透露，未來5年數據中心樓面供應將增加50%或400萬平方呎，服務費價格將趨向平穩，科學園不應再低價批地建數據中心。

李松德指出，過去5年香港數據中心在租金或服務費上，都錄得數個百分點的升幅。不過，他指出，現時全港數據中心的樓面大約800萬平方呎，但隨着近年私人市場透過工廈活化、競投政府工業地等，預計未來5年數據中心樓面將增加400萬平方呎，相當於現有樓面的50%，因此預期，數據中心租金或服務費的價格將會趨平穩。

須增加需求 引入高端數據中心

「數據是石油、是黃金。」李松德認為，在AI人工智能、5G網絡、大數據發展帶動下，數據中心仍然有發展潛力，而現時香港數據中心發展遇上的困難不是土地不夠，而是需求問題。

政府若果想推動香港成為亞太區的數據中心首選地點的話，李松德指，應該注重在增加需求，以科學園為例，應該積極引入創科產業或高端數據中心行業，而不是以低廉的地價批出予一般數據中心。他認為，私人市場亦有能夠營運及增加數據中心供應，政府應該從提供基建及人才方面提供協助。

按照市場數據顯示，近一、兩年活化工廈計劃申請約64宗，合共樓面面積近1,500萬平方呎，暫時至少有7宗申請開設數據中心，涉及208萬平方呎樓面，將於2022至2024年落成。業界估算，之後可能有更多活化工廈申請是開設數據中心。

心光新校舍落成後 交換薄扶林地予九倉

心光盲人學校日前向城規會申請將薄扶林校舍重建成豪宅，據心光方面回應指，現時跟九倉 (00004) 交換東涌土地以進行重建，預計須5年以上才能建成新校舍，之後才會交出薄扶林道土地予九倉。

有逾60年歷史的薄扶林心光盲人學校，早在10年前已經有意重建，當時跟恒隆地產 (00101) 合作，由後者負責物色地點重置學校，並取得土地重建成住宅項目，惟項目一直未獲城規會批准，直至近日心光盲人學校才向城規會申請重建。

東涌建新校舍 料需時逾5年

據心光方面回覆指，將跟九倉交換地皮，但不屬於合作夥伴。新校選址在東涌，要五年以上才建成。在新校舍落成前，即使薄扶林道重建的申請獲城規會批准重建，九倉亦不能進行重建。心光指，學校學生仍會在薄扶林道上課，直至在東涌的新校建成取得校舍註冊後學生往新校舍上課，才會交出薄扶林道土地給九倉，形容新舊校舍屬於無縫銜接。

據了解，該幅東涌新校舍用地屬東涌西第36A區，位於滿東邨對面，鄰近日後的東涌西港鐵站，現時規劃「政府、機構或社區」用地，將會興建4層高建築，重置心光盲人院暨學校、心光恩望學校等設施。

按照《東涌谷分區計劃大綱圖》顯示，該幅東涌用地原意是興建一幢社區綜合大樓，在原有規劃下，九倉所持有用地有機會遭政府收地，現時跟心光展開換地重建，屬於「雙贏」方案。

心光在薄扶林的現有校舍，將以地積比率1.9倍重建成5幢9層高住宅大樓，總樓面約13.2萬平方呎，將提供83間低密度豪宅。

東傲呎價首破萬 新蒲崗活化工廈樓花新紀錄

由莎莎國際 (0178) 主席郭少明兒子郭浩泉等人創辦的麒豐資本，伙拍傅老榕家族旗下廣興置業集團發展的新蒲崗七寶街1號活化工廈樓花項目東傲，首推近一周銷情理想，麒豐資本創辦合夥人暨投資總監洪英偉指，項目首階段推出的5層單位 (包括3樓、11樓、12樓、15樓及16樓)，已售出逾9成單位，套現超過6億元，其中最大手買家，以逾1.21億元購入項目16樓全層，單位面積12769方呎，呎價約9500元。

大手客逾1.2億購全層

洪英偉補充，項目今加推17及20樓部份單位發售，即錄高價成交，其中20樓07、09及10室，獲大手客以約3500萬元購入，以單位面積共3154方呎計，呎價逾1.1萬元。資料顯示，若以呎價1.1萬元計，料創新蒲崗拆售活化工廈呎價新高。他又指，項目下周將會有新樓層推出，並有加價空間。

Secondary home sales rise over the weekend

A property agency recorded 13 deals at ten blue-chip estates over the weekend, up by 8.3 percent from last week, with transactions staying in double digits for the fourth consecutive week.

The agent said that the rise was partly because sales of new homes slowed slightly, amid market optimism over the expected border reopening.

Meanwhile, more new flats are set to hit the market. In Ngau Tau Kok, The Aperture was at least 4.5 times oversubscribed after receiving more than 550 checks for 100 flats in the first batch. And at 17 Caine Road in Sheung Wan / Central, Caine Hill, which provides 187 flats, could open sales as early as this month after releasing the sales brochure last Friday, the developer Henderson Land Development (0012) said.

SwatchGroup30萬租羅素街鋪

市場預期中港兩地於短期內有機會通關，為核心區鋪位市場釋出正面訊息，吸引國際鐘表品牌「回歸」一綫地段，消息指，銅鑼灣羅素街地鋪獲Swatch Group旗下天梭表以約30萬承租，呎租約321元，較上一手長租約的租金下挫逾6成。

市場消息指出，上述為銅鑼灣羅素街59號地下B4號，面積933方呎，以每月租金約30萬獲Swatch Group旗下天梭表 (TISSOT) 承租，為期3年，呎租約321.5元，據悉，該鋪於過去一年分別由時裝店及手機配件店短租，期間月租僅約10萬，該鋪對上一手長租戶為Swatch Group旗下另一鐘表品牌，當時租金約80萬，故該集團是次「回歸」，租金下跌約62.5%。

較前租金跌逾六成

資料亦顯示，Swatch Group早於2012年已租用該鋪位，當時月租高達165萬，及後於2018年續租時，租金調整至80萬，故最新租金較高峰回落約81%。

此外，同區啟超道16號地下至2樓巨鋪，面積約3400方呎，市傳獲口罩店以約20萬短租，呎租約58.8元，據悉，該鋪早前由珠寶鐘表行以約135萬租用，故租金下跌約85%。

Over 780 shoebox flats in Hong Kong’s subsidised home ownership scheme still unsold despite more than a month on market

As of Friday, 254 of the flats at Kai Chuen Court in Kowloon, offered under the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme, still have not found buyers; all are smaller than 200 sq ft

Other unsold units under the scheme include 537 flats in Tsing Yi and Chai Wan, with about 98 per cent of them smaller than 189 sq ft

More than 780 shoebox flats put on the market in Hong Kong’s latest batch of subsidised housing units have gone unsold for over a month, even as all the larger flats offered under the scheme were quickly snapped up.

The Housing Authority offered up a total of 2, 649 new flats for sale under the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme (GSH) on October 29, including 2,112 units at Kai Chuen Court, which is situated above the Diamond Hill MTR station in Kowloon. Half of the units at Kai Chuen were sized between 184 sq ft and 287 sq ft.

However, as of Friday, 254 of the Kai Chuen flats remained unsold, accounting for 12 per cent of the estate. All of them were smaller than 200 sq ft.

Cleresa Wong Pie-yue, chairwoman of the authority’s subsidised housing committee, acknowledged that the smaller flats were less popular.

“We thought flats in Diamond Hill would be welcomed by the buyers given their urban location, but apparently it’s not exactly what we expected,” she said. “We should seriously look at the proportion of different flat types for GSH and see what can be done to cater to buyers’ needs.”

The sales this year also included 537 unsold GSH flats left over from last year’s batch, mostly at Ching Fu Court in Tsing Yi, but with a dozen located in Dip Tsui Court in Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island. About 98 per cent of those flats are smaller than 189 sq ft. So far, only 10 of those flats have been sold.

The GHS flats, built by the authority, are sold exclusively to public housing tenants or those likely to be allocated a public rental flat within a year. The programme was introduced in 2016 to provide homes for sale at significantly less than market price.

The unsold flats at Diamond Hill were priced between HK$1,223,400 and HK$1,456,400, or about 50 per cent off the market value.

In its marketing drive, the authority produced videos showing a virtual model of how furniture could be squeezed into the tiny flats. In one of the videos, which touted a “gentle chic style”, a two-seat sofa, a double bed and a refrigerator were packed into a 186 sq ft studio, though there was little space left for a dining table or a wardrobe.

So-called nano flats – often unofficially defined as homes smaller than 200 sq ft – have grown in popularity with developers in recent years based on the assumption they would appeal to first-time buyers priced out of bigger units but eager to get a foot on the property ladder.

However, the units’ tiny living spaces have also drawn criticism, and the Urban Renewal Authority has stopped building flats smaller than 300 sq ft.

In light of the criticism, the government is even considering setting a minimum flat size for the private market, while also pledging to increase the size of public housing units in the long run.

The Housing Authority received a total of 72,000 applications for this batch of GSH homes, which included some 800 second-hand flats.

About 59,000 of the applications came from families. All eligible applicants were invited to select the flats of their choice on different dates starting from late October.

More than 8,000 applicants have been invited so far, but only 36 per cent showed up. Just 25.7 per cent have actually made a purchase.

Anthony Chiu Kwok-wai, executive director of the Federation of Public Housing Estates, said he believed Kai Chuen Court could still attract some buyers, especially those who planned to resell the flats after a few years of living in them.

“The price could properly rise in some years considering its location and good traffic connections,” Chiu said.

Currently, owners of such homes can resell the flats at a freely negotiated price from the third year of purchase in a so-called secondary market, where buyers are either tenants of public rental housing, or those on the waiting list for such homes.

“But after all, the authority should revise the flat designs in their projects. Otherwise, why would a public housing tenant want to leave their bigger flat for a smaller one?” Chiu added.

遠展33.8億售啟德地予中電作新總部

遠東發展 (035) 公布，分拆啟德體育園鄰近辦公室項目予中電 (002)，作價三十三億八千萬元，有關地段建築面積涉及十七萬四千方呎，平均呎價一萬九千四百元。中電將積極參與該辦公室的設計和施工，屆時將成為中電新總部。

建築面積逾17萬呎

遠展表示，昨日與中電簽定買賣協議，向對方出售鄰近啟德體育園發展項目的非工業部分，包括辦公室部分，作價三十三億八千萬元，有關地段建築面積將為一萬六千二萬平方米，即約十七萬四千方呎，平均呎價一萬九千四百元。至於另外的酒店部分則由遠展繼續持有，建築面積約一萬五千四百平方米，約十六萬五千方，中電會以轉讓契約方式，向遠展交還酒店部分。

雙方亦訂立協調協議，中電可全權酌情要求對現有辦公室部分設計作出修改及設計變動，惟須獲相關政府部門批准，而有關中電要求對附加設計執行的額外成本，以及對現有辦公室部分設計作更改，將加入作價之中，作為完成後調整一部分。

有關啟德的綜合發展項目是遠展於二零一九年以二十四億四千萬元投得，當時呎價約七千一百元。項目由辦公室部分、一家擁有四百間客房的帝盛酒店部分以及零售空間組成，遠展就在整個項目將完成前分拆酒店部分，而中電地產將積極參與辦公室部分的設計和施工，屆時將成為中電新總部。

遠展認為，出售事項將可變現該地塊及發展項目的價值，並將所得收益得以變現及資本可循環投資，以及增加流動資金及減少資產負債淨額。遠展預期所得款項淨額，將用於建設該發展項目及該集團的一般營運資金。

今次交易項目，遠展按公平值約有四億三千八百萬元收益，已於九月三十日的未經審核財務報表確認，預期進一步公平值收益約為五億元，將於完成前或完成時確認。

遠展董事總經理孔祥達孔祥達表示，非常高興能夠為啟德綜合發展項目辦公室部分找到買家，施工正按計劃推進，期待其旗艦帝盛酒店於啟德體育館於二零二四年開始迎接首批觀眾時同時開幕。

尖沙嘴舊樓批強拍底價8.12億

由財團併購的尖沙嘴太極大樓，最新獲土地審裁處頒下強制售賣令，底價為8.123億，對比2019年5月申請強拍時市場估值約5.34億，高出2.783億、幅度52%。

較19年估值高52%

據土審處文件顯示，項目位於柯士甸道132至134號的太極大樓，該財團由申請時持有約83.333%業權，目前餘下6個物業並未成功收購，昨日獲該處批出強拍令，底價8.123億。

可建9.5萬呎商廈

據判詞指出，申請人曾委託結構工程師對該舊樓進行結構評估，認為大樓的維修狀況很差，建築物的結構框架已經嚴重惡化，維修成本與重建成本不成比例，即使進行維修工程，該類工程只會對建築物的現有狀況帶來適度改善，而建築物將繼續保持不合標準，而且維修成本也會隨結構框架的惡化而增加。再者申請人已採取合理步驟收購餘下業權，故批出強拍令。

上址現為一幢12層商住物業，地下為商鋪，1樓為寫字樓，2至11樓為住宅，早於1967年落成，至今樓齡約54年；地盤面積約5441方呎，現規劃為商業用途，若以地積比率約12倍重建發展，可建約65292方呎。

曾由「鋪王」家族收購

資料顯示，上述項目由已故「鋪王」鄧成波家族早於2016年購入逾八成業權， 並於2018年獲一名澳門投資者以6.28億洽購，唯該買賣最終告吹，其後於2019年5月向土審處申請強拍以統一業權發展。最新市場消息指，該項目於今年8月以約4.5億易手，據指新買家為資深投資者朱鴻鈞。

據土審處資料顯示，該處年初迄今暫批出22宗強拍令；而強拍申請個案則暫錄14宗，對比去年同期的34宗申請，大減20宗，跌幅達約58.8%。

東傲呎價1.15萬創同區新高

由麒豐資本與傅老榕家族旗下廣興置業集團合作發展的新蒲崗工廈東傲，自推出以來，市場反應不俗，該項目高層單位以呎價1.15萬成交，再創區內工廈呎價新高。

麒豐資本創辦合夥人暨投資總監洪英偉稱，新蒲崗工廈東傲2003室，面積約727方呎，新以約836.05萬售出，呎價約11500元；資料顯示，該項目同層7，9及10號單位獲大手客以約3500萬承接，每呎造價約1.1萬，創區內工廈呎價新高，故是次成交將該紀錄再推高約4.5%。

較舊紀錄高出4.5%

該項目樓花期逾半年，該項目早前推出3，11，12，15及16樓，已售出逾90％單位，套現逾6億，其中16樓全層，建築面積12769方呎，成交呎價9500元，涉資逾1.21億。

洪英偉對銷情感滿意，項目為區內於過去15年以來首個全新工廈拆售項目。對於新變種病毒Omicron來勢洶洶，洪氏認為，疫情走勢難以預測，惟中港兩地有機會通關，屆時將對工商市場帶來刺激作用。

資料顯示，該項目樓高24層，全層建築面積由1萬至1.5萬方呎，共提供193個單位，面積約700至2900方呎，預計明年下半年落成。上址前身為美華工廠大廈，麒豐資本在2018年8月向興勝創建以12.5億購入，每呎樓面地價約7000元，創當時九龍東工廈地價新高。

寬地積比20%重建工廈

觀塘Eastcore處旺區 質素媲美新商廈

觀塘Eastcore為活化商廈，業主斥資翻新及改裝後，物業外形及內在設備全面提升至商廈質素。

該廈位於觀塘道398至402號，屬統一業權的商廈。交通配套方面，Eastcore的位置偏旺，交通配套十分齊全，巴士路綫亦能往各區，而鄰近港鐵觀塘站A2出口，由出口步行約5至7分鐘便到該物業，集合不少良好交通配套，可以為商客提供不同形式的商務體驗。

餐飲配套方面，Eastcore鄰近不少大型商場，例如apm、創紀之城可以為商客提供全面的商務餐飲，由該物業步行5至8分鐘步行便到該處，而附近一帶有廉價便宜的餐廳，相信滿足商客對商務餐飲的要求。

共8舖位 大部分已租出

Eastcore前身為嘉域工業大廈，活化工程剛於最近完成並正式入伙。而且物業剛完成工程後，質素可媲美新落成商廈，外型物業原為舊式工廈，現換上玻璃幕牆，另每層樓面亦與商廈規格無異。該物業樓高共15層，設有3部升降機，可往返各樓層，每層面積約1,786至12,814平方呎。

大廈地下為停車場，而地下及1樓為商舖，合共提供8個舖位，面積約數百平方呎起，據悉大部分已租出。另外2至15樓為寫字樓，5至15樓每層可分間成6個單位，一般來說，最細單位為3室，面積約1,786平方呎，最大單位為1號室，面積約8,712平方呎。景觀方面，單位全數望向觀塘道樓景，甚為開揚。

每單位備獨立冷氣系統

項目前為嘉域大廈，物業於1981年落成，總樓面約19.8萬平方呎。大鴻輝主席梁紹鴻早於2012年，逾8.7億元購入觀塘嘉域大廈大批工廈樓面，呎價約3,000元，購入嘉域大廈逾9成業權，打算把工廈活化成商廈項目。財團趕工廈活化尾班車，不惜高價統一舊樓業權，集團購入嘉域大廈地下單號車位，涉1,300萬元沽出，創當時全港單一車位價新高，統一業權後，業主即斥資進行改裝。

工商舖市場11月大額成交增多，3個類別於月內均錄得逾億元交易，反映買家對工商舖物業前景看好。11月最大宗成交為全幢工業項目，領展 (00823)  公布以約27億元收購柴灣嘉業街60號全幢貨庫大廈。而舖位市場則以宗數取勝，連錄多宗逾億元成交，例如資深投資者黎永滔以約1.83億元售出中環德己立街17至19號德和大廈地下01及01A號舖。沉寂一段時間的寫字樓市場於11月都錄得大額交易，為結好控股 (00064) 作價約4.2億元售出上環中遠大廈10樓全層。大額成交帶動市況氣氛，投資者願意斥巨額入市證明其對物業後市樂觀，可刺激中小額買家信心。

代理表示，過往年底前節日氣氛旺盛，不少投資者都「收爐」或外遊，而今年受新冠肺炎影響，旅遊受限，加上工商舖有多個新盤推出，全面刺激市況熾熱，又有不少業主議價空間逐步收窄，帶動更多買家加快落實入市。預計工商舖市況將會持續升溫，成交量料會呈穩步上揚趨勢。

Presale applications fall in November

Three projects involving a total of 1,476 flats filed applications of presale consent in November, a 77.6 percent drop from October, according to the Lands Department.

So far, 30 residential projects with a total of 16,011 flats have been pending approval as of the end of last month, the highest number since August 2018.

The department only granted two presale consents covering 123 units in the month, down around 90 percent from 1,221 units in October.

Separately, Hong Kong saw only 161 private residential flats completed in October, down 73 percent from September, the latest data from the Rating and Valuation Department showed.

In the first ten months, a total of 11,329 private residential units were completed, accounting for 62.15 percent of the government's full-year estimation of 18,228 units.

Class B units, which range from 40 square meters to 69.9 sq m, took up more than half of the built flats, followed by Class A units with salable areas less than 40 sq m which accounted for slightly over 30 percent in the ten months.

In the primary market, The Aperture, Hang Lung Properties' (0101) new project in Ngau Tau Kok, has received more than 1,000 checks and is expected to launch sales as early as this weekend.

In other property news, a building on Austin Road was sold for more than HK$800 million under compulsory sale.

本港疫情走勢平穩，為甲廈市場釋出正面訊息，核心區頻錄承租個案，消息指，中環皇后大道中八號高層全層，於交吉約10個後，以每呎約115元租出，較舊租輕微下跌約4%。

交吉10個月始錄承租

據代理指出，中環皇后大道中八號高層全層，面積約3012方呎，以每呎約115元租出，月租約346380元，據悉，上址於今年2月交吉至今，舊租金為每呎120元，故最新租金微跌約4%，屬市價水平。

代理指，隨疫情走勢持續平穩，現今甲廈空置率逐步改善，惟整體租金表現仍備受壓力，隨踏入年尾，部分業主希望於農曆新年前將單位租用，令議價空間逐步擴闊，故近期甲廈租金均見折讓。

卡佛大廈每呎61元租出

據代理行資料顯示，該甲廈近期租賃交投疏落，對上承租個案為該甲廈高層全層，於去年6月以336830元租出，以面積2591方呎計，呎租約130元；另一宗為中層全層，面積約3012方呎，於去年1月以361440元租出，平均呎租約120元。

此外，中環區內商廈亦頻錄承租個案，消息指，卡佛大廈高層07B室，屬醫務層，面積359方呎，以每呎約61元租出，月租約21899元；同區歐陸貿易中心中層03A室，面積約952方呎，以每呎約52元租出，月租約49504元。

市建土瓜灣項目截收31份意向

近年市區大型發展項目供應罕有，市建局土瓜灣第三個以「小區模式」發展的鴻福街、啟明街及榮光街四個重建項目、合併為一個項目發展，挾市區及鐵路沿綫住宅的優勢，昨日截收31份意向書，雖較同區首兩個小區項目的36份意向書數目為少，但市場反應仍算理想。

意向書較同區兩項目少

市建局昨公布，項目截收31份意向書，意向書數目對比該局今年6月及9月、同樣截收36份意向書的同區首兩個以小區發展項目 (庇利街/榮光街、鴻福街/銀漢街項目) 略為減少5份，若以該局住宅項目計，則是自17年3月截收28份意向書的大角嘴福澤街/利得街需求主導重建項目後的逾4年半以來最少。

市建局指，該局董事會設立的遴選小組，將會按照訂定的入圍準則，就發展商及財團的項目發展經驗和財政能力，從收到的意向書中挑選符合資格的發展商及財團；並將根據董事會已批准的主要招標條款，邀請入圍的發展商及財團提交標書。

據現場所見及綜合市場消息，多家本地大型和中型發展商都有遞交意向書，包括長實、新地、恒基、會德豐地產、信和、南豐、新世界、華懋、英皇國際、遠東發展、帝國集團、泛海國際、中國海外、招商局置地、爪哇控股，另有多家不知名財團等。

英皇國際物業經理蔡宏基表示，該盤屬市區項目，並具地皮發展規模，遞交意向書希望取得標書作詳細研究，他透露綜合所有因素後，集團出價較為進取，傾向以獨資方式入標。

估值逾60億

有測量師指出，雖是次意向書數目對比同區首兩個項目有所減少，唯市場反應仍然理想，是次項目發展規模較大，若連同建築費在內，料發展成本將過百億，不排除部分中小型發展商因而未有遞交意向書，料將來可截獲6至8份標書，傾向為大型發展商為主。

上述重建項目由啟明街分隔兩個相鄰地盤，總地盤面積約5.85萬方呎，預計兩個地盤可建總樓面約52.68萬方呎。成功取得項目的財團，須按發展協議中列明土瓜灣小區發展的「總體設計要求」，作為興建新發展項目藍本，與該局毗鄰重建項目產生協同效應。綜合市場消息指，參考今年9月同區首個批出項目每呎樓面地價約1.14萬作指標，預計該項目估值約60億至66億，每方呎樓面地價約1.14萬至1.3萬。

西九區商業見雛形 供應達386萬呎

隨着西九文化區發展逐漸成形，將陸續推出商業用地供應，早前就以BOT模式 (建造、營運及移交) 就區內藝術廣場大樓項目，總樓面面積約70萬平方呎，連同新地 (00016) 西九高鐵站項目等，區內未來幾年商業樓面供應將達386萬平方呎。

該幅藝術廣場大樓用地屬於西九文化區第3B區，位於興建中的演藝綜合劇場旁邊，鄰近M+博物館以及西九管理局辦公室大樓，將興建3幢商業大樓組成，總樓面面積合共約70萬平方呎，包括67.2萬平方呎的辦公室樓面，以及2.7萬平方呎作為零售 / 飲食 / 娛樂用途，當中前方的1幢商廈更屬臨海項目，擁有整個維港海景。

文化區建3商業大樓 共70萬呎

今次西九管理局並不是以傳統形式批地，而是採用BOT (建造、營運及移交) 模式出售，中標的發展商負責藝術廣場大樓項目的設計、建造、融資、市場推廣、租賃、管理和維修工作，並獲得34年營運權，期間須在租金上向西九管理局作分紅，而且今次亦要求發展商在簽訂合約後須先分兩期繳交租賃期的部分租金。

現時九龍站甲級商廈環球貿易廣場 (ICC) 租金料約70至80元水平，若果參考這個價錢，西九項目預計每月租金可達4,900萬至5,600萬元，每年租金約5.9億至6.7億元，以30年期計算，總租金收入將達177億至201億元。

除了藝術廣場大樓用地外，西九管理局亦曾經在去年就西隧出口上方的ACE (藝術、商業、展覽) 用地招標，用地佔地約8.1萬平方呎，總樓面約145萬平方呎，計劃在故宮博物館的北面興建一個50萬平方呎的展覽中心，以及在西隧上方興建一個U形的酒店及辦公室，涉及87.3萬平方呎樓面，及7.4萬平方呎的零售及餐飲樓面。

新地高鐵站商地 建兩商廈

項目在去年4月開始招標，於去年底截標，不過西九文化區管理局最後認為招標反應遜於預期，決定暫停ACE項目的招標工作。

另外，新地在2019年以422億元投得的西九高鐵站商業地，地積比率為5倍，在今年初獲批准，由3幢「波浪型」的商廈，改為興建兩幢「鑽石型」商廈，樓高20至30層，總樓面約316萬平方呎，寫字樓部分涉及樓面逾256.18萬平方呎，較已批方案減少約1成樓面。而零售方面，以約0.95倍發展計，可建面積涉逾60.27萬平方呎，則較之前增加約9成。

Far East Consortium International to sell Kai Tak plot

Developer Far East Consortium International (0035) said it plans to sell the non-industrial portion including the office portion of a land adjacent to the Kai Tak Sports Park to CLP Group (0002) for HK$3.38 billion.

The 32,000-square-meter site, which is under development and undergoing construction includes the 16,621.89-sq-m non-industrial portion with offices and the 15,378.1-sq-m hotel portion.

The hotel portion of the land will be assigned to its subsidiary prior to completion of the transaction, it said in an exchange filing last night.

The non-industrial part of the land was accounted for as an investment property in the financial statements and a fair value gain of approximately HK$438 million was recognized based on the mark-to-market value as of September 30, 2021.

It is expected that further fair value gains of approximately HK$500 million will be recognized before and/or upon completion.

This came after its chairman David Chiu Tat-cheong said he will fully withdraw from the daily operation of i-Cable Communications (1097) but may buy some shares to support the TV company in the future.

Local tycoon Henry Cheng Kar-shun spent HK$208.9 million boosting his stake in the i-Cable last month and he took up the role of chairman while Chiu became vice-chairman this month.

Chiu said he thinks Cheng will be the right person for the job and he is pleased to see that Cheng wants to push i-Cable to the next level.

To Kwa Wan project draws interest of big guns

The Urban Renewal Authority had received a total of 31 expressions of interest for the combined development of four projects located at Hung Fook Street, Kai Ming Street and Wing Kwong Street in To Kwa Wan, after the invitation for submissions closed yesterday.

New World Development (0017), China Overseas Land & Investment (0688), Nan Fung Group and Wheelock Properties are said to be among the ones that filed the expressions.

A review panel under the URA board will shortlist developers based on their development experience and financial capability and invite them to submit tenders.

The four projects with a total site area of 5,438 square meters covering two adjoining sites, namely Hung Fook Street/Kai Ming Street and Wing Kwong Street/Kai Ming Street, will provide a total gross floor area of 48,942 sq m upon completion.

In the primary market, Manor Hill in Tseung Kwan O unveiled the fourth price list offering 200 units at an average discounted price of HK$22,955 per sq ft, nearly 10 percent higher than the first batch launched more than a month earlier, the developer Kowloon Development (0034) said.

In Ngau Tau Kok, The Aperture, which will launch the first round of sales of 100 flats on Saturday, received at least 1,200 checks, according to the builder Hang Lung Properties (0101).

And in Kai Tak, The Henley III by Henderson Land Development (0012) also launched its latest price list yesterday, providing 41 flats at an average price per sq ft of HK$28,060 after discounts.

In other news, a property consultancy expects Hong Kong property prices to rise by about 3 percent year-on-year next year as more buyers are entering the market in the low-interest-rate environment.

It expects 73,000 home transactions to be recorded this year, with the number will falling to 60,000 to 65,000 next year.

Property consultancy predicts 3pc hike for home prices

Property consultancy expects Hong Kong property prices to rise by about 3 percent year-on-year next year as more people are entering the market in the low-interest-rate environment.

The projected increase slows down compared to this year, mainly because property prices have reached historic highs, and if the border between Hong Kong and China reopen next year, the prices of luxury homes are expected to rise by 3-5 percent, it said.

the consultancy said that residential rents will increase about 2 percent year-on-year in 2022, underperforming the property prices, and the annual rental returns are expected to remain at a low level of about 2 percent.

It also anticipated that about 73,000 home transactions will be recorded this year, while that of next year will fall back to 60,000 to 65,000.

Government land sale revenue could reach HK$100 billion to HK$110 billion in 2021 driven by large commercial land sold in Central and Causeway Bay and the 2022 revenue is expected to drop to between HK$40 billion and HK$60 billion, it said.

Offices may decamp to Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay amid rental crash in the world’s costliest retail strip

The monthly net office rent in Causeway Bay averaged HK$60.4 (US$7.74) per square foot, about half the charge in Central, according to property consultancy

Central’s October rent rose 0.5 per cent from a month earlier, while Causeway Bay was unchanged

Causeway Bay looks increasingly more appealing as an office address, amid the rental crash in what was until recently the world’s most expensive retail shopping district.

The monthly net office rent in the district between Hong Kong’s Wan Chai and Quarry Bay averaged HK$60.4 (US$7.74) per square foot, just about half the HK$113.6 per square foot in the city’s Central financial hub, according to property consultancy. Central’s October rent rose 0.5 per cent from a month earlier, while Causeway Bay was unchanged.

“Causeway Bay’s rent is between Central and Quarry Bay,” property consultant said. “Compared with Wan Chai, office buildings in Causeway Bay are newer and of higher quality, which are also reflected in the discrepancy in rents and vacancies.”

The district, particularly the Russell Street thoroughfare, commanded the world’s most expensive retail rents for six consecutive years until 2020, boasting flagships by such luxury designers as Burberry, La Perla and Prada. The Italian designer Prada left Russell Street last year after months of street protests and Covid-19 pandemic, a departure that forced the landlord to slash rents by 44 per cent to fill the vacancy, kicking start a domino effect that weighed on rental charges throughout the district.

One investor betting on Causeway Bay’s potential as a prime office zone is H Development Holdings Limited, which counts the 28-storey retail commercial complex Henry House and the 24-floor Biz Aura office building in its property portfolio. H Development recently completed the redevelopment of a commercial building in Causeway Bay, the 25-storey HDH Centre on Irving Street.

“HDH Centre is our flagship for 2021, a Grade A commercial complex located at the heart of Causeway Bay and primed to become a landmark in the community,” said Eric Ng, H Development’s chairman. “The group is optimistic about the market and potential of Causeway Bay.”

One of HDH Centre’s first tenants is the German home appliance brand Bosch, which will relocate its flagship from Central to occupy the entire first floor. The building’s third to eighth floors will be dedicated to food and beverage outlets, and the rest for office tenants.

“We place great emphasis on the Hong Kong market, hence we are very selective when considering the new location for our Hong Kong flagship store,” a Bosch spokesman said. “HDH Centre is a new completed complex with stylish architectural design. It is conveniently located at the heart of Hong Kong’s commercial and entertainment hub... A mere three-minute walk from Causeway Bay MTR station, convenient transport means a high number of visitors from time to time. Relocating our showroom to Causeway Bay puts us in a better position to reach our targeted premium customers.”

In Tower 535 on Jaffe Road also in Causeway Bay, co-working giant IWG has taken over the space vacated by rival WeWork.

On Causeway Bay’s waterfront, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group shuttered The Excelsior hotel in 2019 to redevelop the site into a 26-storey office tower at a cost of US$650 million, scheduled for completion in 2025.

Companies, particularly those that do not require marquee addresses to impress customers, have been driven out of the Central district by its record rental charges, decamping to Hong Kong’s outlying districts such as Quarry Bay or Tsim Sha Tsui. Causeway Bay, with its crowded streets, and high-end shopping centres, had not been high on the selection list until now, the consultant said.

Grade-A office rents on Hong Kong Island may increase by between 5 and 10 per cent, especially in Central, Admiralty and Wan Chai, the property consultancy said.

As several companies have recently expanded their footprints or moved back to Central, the office rents in the district are likely to rise faster. This in turn will add appeal to Causeway Bay as a good alternative for corporate offices.

“Given its status, the quality of [the area’s] buildings and other attractions, the office rental market in Central is expected to recover and rise much faster while rents in Causeway Bay are likely to take time to fully recover,” the property consultant said.

Outlook dims on Kai Tak’s waterfront land as Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis plan and land conversion add to city’s supply glut

Five plots of housing land at Kai Tak, valued at a combined HK$71.3 billion (US$9.15 billion), may fail to live up to expectations when they go on sale, analysts said

One of the plots was sold last week at a discount of 10.8 per cent from its purchase price in 2018

A distressed sale last week at Hong Kong’s former Kai Tak airport site has clouded the outlook of the city’s property market, as an expected glut of residential land weighs on prices.

Five plots of land at Kai Tak, valued together at up to HK$71.3 billion (US$9.15 billion), may fail to live up to expectations when they go on sale, analysts said. The parcels - yet to be converted from commercial land into residential usage - can yield about 5,800 average-size flats, according to the rezoning proposal in Hong Kong’s 2021-2022 budget announced in February by Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po.

Another factor that puts a cap on prices is the city government’s plan to develop the Northern Metropolis in the New Territories, where at least 900,000 homes may be built over the next 20 years to accommodate 2.5 million people and alleviate Hong Kong’s crowdedness.

“Land prices may soften, rather than be on the rise,” a surveyor said. “The likely supply in Kai Tak and the Northern Metropolis will relieve upwards pressure. The [slump] in the stock market will also make developers more prudent in making their bids.”

Kai Tak, where Hong Kong’s main airport operated from for more than seven decades until 1998, measures 323 hectares (798 acres). It is an important part of the transformation of eastern Kowloon into a central business district to sustain the city’s development, first outlined in 2011 by former Chief Executive Donald Tsang.

Since then, Kai Tak has grown into an upscale residential area, especially on the narrow strip of land protruding into Victoria Harbour where the former airport runway was, as it offers seafront view on three sides. KWG Group Holdings and Longfor Group have launched their Upper Riverbank apartments, where a four-bedroom ground floor flat with a garden sold in October for HK$79 million.

A number of Chinese developers – exemplified by the voracious asset buyer HNA Group before it went bust in January – snapped up Kai Tak’s plots at record prices in late 2016 and early 2017, driving land prices to between HK$15,000 and HK$18,000 per square foot.

The former airport’s transformation puts the impetus on Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong nearby to drive the area’s development as a central business district, said Leo Cheung, adjunct associate professor at the University of Hong Kong.

“If proper provisions of infrastructure have not been sufficiently provided, pressure on land prices is expected,” he said.

Prices have corrected since those heady days. Kaisa Group, one of the Chinese developers now buckling under debt, last week sold a plot of Kai Tak land for HK$7.9 billion (US$1 billion) in cash and assumed debt, a discount of 10.8 per cent to the price that a distressed rival paid in 2018.

Kaisa’s Area 4B Site 4 was bought by a venture backed by New World Development and Far East Consortium International. Next to it, Area 4C Site 4 is valued at HK$14.5 billion, while Area 4C Site 5 may be worth HK$11.8 billion, according to another surveyor.

Two of the five rezoned housing land face the Victoria Harbour at the end of the former runway, with the most breathtaking view among all other residential parcels in Kai Tak.

“Land prices could be very volatile [in Kai Tak], depending on changes in market condition and sentiment,” and could “easily vary by more than 10 per cent,” the surveyor said.

Blackstone, SilkRoad turn Hong Kong’s industrial property into a hotspot with 54 per cent jump in investment

Global real estate funds accounted HK$17.3 billion or 61 per cent of industrial property transactions so far this year, up from 21 per cent share in all of 2020

Hong Kong’s industry revitalisation programme could boost supply and test market resolve on investment returns over the next two years

Global institutional funds have stepped up their purchases of industrial property in Hong Kong this year by 54 per cent, as Covid-19 continues to support bullish demand for data-centre and cold-storage facilities.

They spent HK$17.3 billion (US$2.2 billion) or 61 per cent of total transactions of such assets so far this year, according to a property agency based on deals valued above US$10 million threshold. The funds invested HK$11.2 billion or just over one-fifth of the total in all of 2020.

“New industrial-related businesses such as data centres, cold storage and self-storage are in keen demand, which encourages some value-add potential of old warehouse buildings,” an agent said.

Covid-19 cases have continued to spread as new and more infectious variants emerged, underpinning consumption patterns that fuel demand for logistics assets in the city. As a result, growing e-commerce has fuelled aggressive buying by global real-estate funds, industry consultants said.

Among recent notable transactions, US private equity giant Blackstone acquired an industrial building named Elegance Printing Centre in Shau Kei Wan on Hong Kong Island for HK$500 million.

Industrial assets in Tuen Mun in New Territories have also become a key target for global funds with at least three major deals recorded in the third quarter.

CR Logistics paid HK$2.24 billion for the first phase of East Asia Industrial Building and HK$695.4 million for Mineron Centre, according to data published by another agency. Silkroad Property Partners paid HK$1.1 billion for several units and floors in Block C of Hang Wai Industrial Centre, its fifth acquisition in its Hong Kong portfolio.

Investors, however, are facing one drawback as the surge in investment has shrunk returns. The sector will also need to contend with rising supply as old buildings are redeveloped.

“Robust investment sentiment for warehouse assets so far this year has already pushed prices up by 6.8 per cent and yields down to 3.3 per cent, an all-time low, indicating diminishing investment returns,” property agent said.

The Hong Kong government has approved 57 applications to demolish old industrial buildings over the past three years under its revitalisation programme, adding 12.7 million sq ft of space into the market. Given the success, the policy is being extended to October 2024.

A total of 7 million sq ft of new warehouse space is expected to come on stream over the next two years, the agent said. With little pre-commitment so far, this is expected to test market resolve when the new supply enters the market, the agent added.

In the immediate term, however, demand for logistics assets appears to be sustainable as the local and global supply chains continue to recover. That makes the industrial property sector more appealing, given the downward pressure in rents for office and retail properties in the city.

“It is a global trend and it will support the rental for data centres and warehouses,” another agent said. “The low entry ticket prices have turned industrial buildings into a hotspot among global funds.”

恒地 (00012) 以508億元奪得中環新海濱3號用地，政府公布，較次高標價371億元，高出37%或137億元，即大部分發展商出價均低於市場估值下限，顯示市場出價普遍較審慎。

恒地於上月3日以508億元投得中環新地王，據發展局公布，中標者已按時於12月初完成繳付全數地價，整個投標程序已完成，故此公布餘下標價。

次標出價371億 傳為新地

是次招標共接獲6份標書，所有標書在非價格建議方面均取得合格成績，惟其中4份標書由於出價低於政府於截標當日所訂定的底價，因此未能達到價格建議的基本要求。換而言之，包括恒地在內，只有兩份標書在價格建議和非價格建議兩方面符要求。

因此，發展局最終只公布餘下次高標價的入標價，該財團出價371.09億元，即每呎樓面地價約22,983元，只是剛好高於市場估值下限據市傳，該出價371億元的發展商為新地 (00016)。

由於今次招標採用雙信封制，政府亦落選標書的設計方案，總評分為84.86分，較恒地的得分100分，只是略低15%，反映兩間發展商在設計上的得分相當接近。新地的設計方案外形似一艘船，由4幢商廈組成，共用一個大的花園平台，中高層及天台則橫跨相連。

有代理指，市場普遍覺得「有買貴無買錯」，分別只是有多貴，特別是心態上是否以「志在必得」出價，亦認為出價是今次賣地的最主要考慮因素，因各大發展商都是找國際知名建築師去設計，設計分數相若，主要以地價分勝負。

九龍灣恩浩國際中心 海景戶25萬招租

近年政府積極發展啟德區的土地，將該區的5幅商業地將改為發展住宅項目，料東九龍一帶商業用地供應減少，將利好區內現有寫字樓的需求，會以質素優越的指標商廈先行，吸引企業搶先機落戶，佔據優質甲廈樓面。

新近有業主看準市況，將九龍灣甲級商廈恩浩國際中心高層海景全層推出市場招租，意向月租約25萬元，平均呎租約22元。

雖然該物業的地段較偏僻，由物業步行至港鐵九龍灣站需步行約10分鐘路程，但勝在附近有不少的交通配套，如巴士及小巴往返各區，若前往地鐵站亦可乘搭MegaBox提供的免費專車前往九龍灣地鐵站，為商客提供更方便快捷的乘車體驗。至於餐飲方面附近有MegaBox商場，該處提供大量中西美食選擇，方便商客進行商務餐飲。若喜愛平價美食可到附近一帶的工業飯堂進行餐飲，相信可以滿足不同商客對餐飲的需求。

11430呎高層 呎租約22元

代理表示，該招租物業位於九龍灣常悅道1號恩浩國際中心32樓全層，面積約11,430平方呎 (未核實)，現時以每月約25萬元招租，平均呎租約22元。物業位處大廈高層，三面單邊，可觀望開揚園景及海景，加上約4.15米高的樓底，空間感十足。代理稱，恩浩國際中心落成僅約8年，配套設備仍見新簇，並設有高層及低層分流升降機，有助疏通上班人流，節省時間。

超高層全層 意向呎租36

該代理補充，業主同時推出大廈一個車位放租，意向月租約4,000元，方便駕駛的用家，增加物業的吸引力。

該代理續稱，恩浩國際中心鮮有全層樓面放租，資料顯示，現時大廈僅有兩個全層招租盤源，另一個為大廈超高層全層，面積同約11,430平方呎 (未核實)，意向呎租約36元。資料顯示，恩浩國際中心對上一宗全層租賃個案為低層全層，面積約12,263平方呎 (未核實)，去年初以呎租約23元租出。對比之下，今次物業位處大廈高層，叫價更具競爭力。該代理表示，是次招租物業氣派非凡，為核心商業區罕有全層甲廈供應，而且業主開價合理，預料物業洽詢情況會見踴躍。

教協1.6億 沽銅鑼灣舖位

銅鑼灣堅拿道西15號永德大廈地下8、9號舖連3個單位，總面積共約1萬平方呎，以約1.6億元易手，呎價約1.6萬元，略低於市價。資料顯示，原業主為教協 (香港教育專業人員協會)，於1992至1993年期間購入該批物業，合共涉約2,298萬元，持貨近30年沽貨，升值約6倍。

寶聲6480萬購獅子石道鋪 統一全幢舊樓業權

去年11月，市場出現歷來首宗強拍「流拍」個案，九龍城獅子石道一幢舊樓有兩個鋪位未被收購，發展商寶聲在獲得強拍令後，缺席強拍收樓。至今相隔一年，寶聲繼今年中，透過私人協商買入一個鋪位，最近再下一城，以6480萬購最後一間地鋪，成功統一全幢舊樓業權。兩個鋪位收購價更比較透過強拍，節省約1200萬。

上述鋪位為獅子石道73號地鋪連閣樓，寶聲於上月以6480購入，若然按照法庭批出強拍令，該舊樓拍賣底價2.23億，該地鋪所佔全幢舊樓約30.7%，發展商須支付73號地鋪業權約6850萬，最新收購價較強拍令價格，節省約360萬。

去年11月缺席強拍會

寶聲亦於今年年中，收購獅子石道75號地鋪，作價5800萬，較法庭批出的強拍令6700萬，節省約900萬，寶聲在獲得強拍令後，放棄強拍，採取自行協議收購，最終以合共1.28億收購最後兩個鋪位，節省約1200萬。

寶聲集團董事長陳耀璋接受本報查詢時表示，事件擾攘一年，本來計畫11月強拍收樓，最終現時才成功，拖延一年，雖然帳面節省逾千萬，不過，該地盤投資額逾3億，大部分舊樓亦已清拆等候重建，此一年間支付利息少說逾600萬，實際省下金額並不多。

陳耀璋：法庭高估地盤價值

他表示，當時，集團與鋪主各自聘請測量師為物業估價，最終法庭接受小業主一方意見，從而高估地盤價值，低估重建成本，發展商預期建築費1.3億至1.5億元，對方預期只有8000萬，同時認為未來售價每呎達2.4萬至2.6萬，集團認為不可能這麼高，因而缺席強拍。

他又強調，估價於2019年10月進行，其時已發生動亂事件，並非旺市。經過今次事件，日後更加密切跟估價師及律師溝通，務求準確。73及75號舊樓將合併獅子石道65至71號地盤，佔地共約8000方呎，估計可建樓面約7萬方呎，基座為小商場，樓上住宅150至200伙，大部分定價1000萬以內，主力興建「袖珍」單位，開放式為主，高層擁靚景，間隔一房或兩房戶，九龍城是名校區，可吸納家庭客。

私人協商連購兩地鋪

獅子石道73及75號舊樓，多年前由陳樹渠家族旗下寶聲收購，餘下兩間地鋪未接受收購，寶聲申強拍統一業權，獲得法庭批出強拍令，並於去年11月舉行拍賣會，惟發展商未出席，導致出現歷來首次「流拍」事件。

長沙灣GCC3累售44單位

Second-highest harborfront bid 27pc lower than Henderson's

The second-highest bid for the New Central Harbourfront site was only HK$37.1 billion, 27 percent lower than Henderson Land Development's (0012) offer of HK$50.8 billion, the Development Bureau revealed yesterday.

The combined score of the lost tender was 84.86, the bureau said, adding that Henderson, the successful tenderer, settled the full premium in early December and the tender process has been completed.

All the six tenders the government received passed the requirements for non-premium proposals. However, the premium offers of four of the tenders were lower than the reserved price and as such failed to meet the requirement for the premium aspect. In other words, only two - including Henderson's - were regarded as conforming tenders fulfilling both the premium and non-premium requirements, the bureau said.

The total investment for the 516,300-square-foot site at Man Yiu Street is HK$63 billion, the biggest outlay ever for a project in Hong Kong, according to Henderson.

Meanwhile, Henderson's new project Caine Hill in Sheung Wan is expected to unveil the first price list today, offering at least 50 units, and sales could be kick off before Christmas.

In the primary residential market, a new project at 63 Soy Street in Mongkok, which will offer 120 flats, is expected to launch sales this month. Named Soyo, the tower will offer studio units ranging from 152 sq ft to 228 sq ft.

In Lam Tin, a new round of sales at Koko Hills involving 101 homes - 85 in a price list and 16 via tenders - will be launched on Saturday, the developer Wheelock Properties said. The units, ranging from 366 sq ft to 770 sq ft, are priced at HK$21,315 per sq ft on average after discounts and the whole batch is worth HK$1.01 billion.

Separately, the disbanded Hong Kong Professional Teachers' Union sold its interests - shops and units - in Wing Tak Mansion in Causeway Bay for HK$160 million last month.

The union purchased the property in the 90s for HK$22.98 million and earned a paper gain of HK$137 million after the transaction.

It has sold all the properties it owned since the official disbandment in September for a total of HK$430 million.

疫情走勢平穩，為甲廈市場釋出正面訊息，據本港一間外資代理行指出，料明年整體甲廈租金上升約5%，中環區升幅將高於大市，料該區升幅達一成。

中環區升幅跑贏大市

該代理行昨日發表市場報告指，隨本港疫情受控，住宅及工商鋪調整期已完結，料整體物業市場於明年將全面復甦，於甲廈市場方面，儘管空置率因新供應增加持續高企，惟該行預期明年整體甲廈租金有機會上升約5%，以各區劃分，以中環區最值得看俏，料該區租金升幅介乎5%至10%。

該行亦指出，儘管今年首11個月，整體甲廈錄得64.34萬方呎負吸納量，然而，大部分均於上半年錄得，上月市場空置率報9.6%，已較9月份9.8%高位回落，此外，整體甲廈租金於下半年跌幅明顯收窄，中環甲廈租金於上半年下跌約3.2%，惟於下半年回升約1.2%，反映市場正在改善。

鋪位租金已「見底」

該行代理表示，寫字樓市場已進入下行周期的最後階段，並逐步復甦。

至於鋪位市場，該行另一代理指出，整體鋪位租金已「見底」，料明年核心區鋪位租金上升約5%至10%；另一代理表示，環顧中短期私樓供應維持於低水平，對樓市構成支持作用，料明年樓價上升約5%。

甲廈全年交投靜 通關可望轉活

指標甲廈上月持續零成交，回顧全年甲廈交投均見淡靜，業界人士認為，明年通關後買賣活動可望增加。

據中原十大指標商廈統計，11月份十幢指標物業均未有成交，為繼10月份連續兩個月零成交，交投之淡靜近年罕見。

中遠大廈全層易手 呎價約2.1萬

近期較大手買賣，為結好控股持有的上環中遠大廈低層全層，於交吉約1年後，以股權轉讓方式易手，作價4.2億元，估計出售虧損約2,620萬元。結好控股公布，以4.2億元售出上環中遠大廈10樓全層，面積19,745平方呎，呎價約21,271元，根據通告指出，買家為本港註冊公司，主要業務為投資控股。另乙廈方面，近日中環永安集團大廈低層03室，面積2,800平方呎，以約5,600萬元易手，呎價約2萬元。

甲廈樓花 年內銷售不俗

今年較大手買賣，主要落在新式甲廈樓花上，如新世界 (00017) 荔枝角道888號最頂層樓面，獲南洋商業銀行以12億元承接，呎價約1.75萬元創新高。成交涉及項目最高3層，每層樓面面積介乎2.08萬至2.46萬平方呎，總樓面面積近6.8萬平方呎。另外，同系新創建 (00659) 以13.67億元，購入18樓至21樓共4層，總樓面面積96,744平方呎，呎價約14,130元。

另一焦點項目為億京旗下觀塘道368號，項目設7間商舖及29層寫字樓，每層面積約654至9,566平方呎，暫時銷售頗理想，其中頂層連天台單位，以約1.56億元易手，平均呎價約2.27萬元，創項目新高，買家為上市公司中國波頓集團 (03318)，自用作為總部用途。

有代理分析，今年甲廈市場受多方面不利因素影響，包括封關下商務活動減少，加上年初機構採在家工作安排等，令整體商廈交投氣氛受衝擊。該代理指，由於買家追價意慾不高，而業主持貨力強，令交投非常淡靜。對於明年展望，代理認為，中港通關在即，相信將令商務活動增加。該代理認為，不少中資機構向來有意在港擴充，租用及購買本港甲廈，同時間，近月個別中資機構在港放售寫字樓單位，故若順利通關，買賣活動定會增加。代理分析，由於明年甲廈供應高峰，買家選擇較多，相信出價上不會太進取，故料明年甲廈買賣轉活，價格則見底回穩。

土瓜灣商住地盤4.68億沽 美善同道小型項目每呎地價1.14萬

隨港鐵屯馬綫通車，令沿綫地區物業備受追捧，再錄大手成交。消息指，土瓜灣美善同道商住地盤以約4.68億易主，每方呎樓面地價約11429元，買家以豐資源呼聲最高。

綜合市場消息指出，土瓜灣美善同道51至57號商住地盤，佔地面積約4800方呎，以約4.68億易手，項目屬住宅甲類地段，以地積比約8.5倍計，可建樓面約40950方呎，每呎樓面地價約11429元。

豐資源購入呼聲最高

據市場知情人士透露，該物業於市場上已放售一段時間，早前亦獲多名準買家洽購，並指買家以豐資源呼聲最高。本報昨日就上述消息向南豐及豐資源作出查詢，惟於截稿前未獲回覆。

有代理指出，隨疫情走勢平穩，加上中港兩地有機會於短期內通關，帶動部分財團及中小型發展商率先入市，瞄準中小型地盤以增加自身土地儲備，上述成交可為市場帶出正面訊息，料明年首季逾億元大手買賣陸續有來。

可建樓面約四萬呎

近年，受港鐵屯馬綫通車等利好因素帶動，土瓜灣不斷有新項目落成，帶動區內變天，其中，美善同道聚集多幢公務員合作社物業，地段甚寧靜，適合興建精品住宅，於今年2月裕泰興就美善同道6至12號補地價，涉資1.8484億，以住宅樓面36006方呎計算，即每方呎地價約5134元。

其中美善同道6及8號，該財團於11年以強拍形式統一業權，作價1億，總樓面約2.16萬方呎計，即每方呎達4629元。至於10至12號物業，早年完成統一業權。項目曾獲屋宇署批出建築圖則，可興建1幢30層高的商住樓。

上環磅巷鋪三千萬沽

另一方面，市場消息指出，上環磅巷6號地下低層，面積約1100方呎，以約3000萬售出，呎價約27273元，該鋪現時由食肆以7.5萬承租，料買家享租金回報約3厘水平。據悉，該鋪原業主於1987年以約60萬購入，持貨34年帳面獲利約2940萬，物業期間升值約49倍。

油塘工廈一籃子盤2.13億售

工廈物業於疫市表現「硬淨」，市場再錄大手成交。油塘工業大廈一籃子物業以2.13億售出，呎價約4200元。

市場消息指出，是次包括油塘工業大廈多個中低層單位，以約2.13828億連數車位易手，以總樓面60000方呎計，呎價約3563元。據業內人士指出，上述物業於市場已放售一段時間，成交價屬市價水平。

成交呎價3563元

據代理資料顯示，該工廈近期頻錄成交，其中，該廈4期O室，面積約3700方呎，於今年3月以1800萬售出，呎價約4865元；另該項目3期A室，面積5317方呎，於去年10月以1760萬沽出，呎價約3310元。

此外，工廈市場亦頻錄買賣，市場消息指出，荃灣長豐工業大廈中層4室，面積約10103方呎，以約4800萬售出，呎價約4751元；觀塘美興工業大廈B座低層4室，面積約1430方呎，以約710萬售出，呎價約4965元。

另一方面，另一代理表示，天水圍天秀路8號天一商城一樓1030、1031及1032號鋪，總面積約880方呎，以意向價3960萬放售，呎價約4.5萬，物業將以連租約形式放售，現分別租予地產代理公司及時裝店，料買家可享約3.5厘回報。

銅鑼灣駱克道、位處崇光百貨後面，其中一個舊樓「樓上鋪」，由美容店以每月3萬進駐，平均每呎30元，較舊租跌25%。

上址為駱克道543號1樓，約1000方呎，由美容店以每月3萬承租，物業於2002年以300萬購入，回報可觀。業主科達地產主席湯君明說，舊租金每月4萬，新租金減逾25%，回報不俗。

湯君明於區內白沙道、蘭芳道等持有不少舊樓，他表示，地鋪租金上落大，樓上鋪反而平穩。「我重量不重質，不買地鋪，吼位收集樓上單位。」

美容行業進駐

湯氏續說，區內舊樓受潮流時尚行業追捧，他們寧要核心區「樓上鋪」，也不要民生區地鋪 (北角及西環區)，反映其商業價值所在。而他持有霎東街 (9A號1樓) 及波斯富街89號2樓的同類型舊樓，去年分別由財團以2480萬及2680萬收購，2000年各以195萬及152萬購入。

湯氏說，撇開收購溢價，上述單位市值各約1600萬，市值較購入價升約7倍，若當年買新樓 (西九及將軍澳)，最多升值1.5至3倍。

「買舊樓好過新樓，不要貪裝修靚及高成數按揭，羊毛出在羊身上，不要做一隻懵羊！」舊樓已買少見少，他提議，市區洋樓亦是好選擇，花十多、二十萬裝修，地點好，才有升值潛力。「買舊衫褲鞋襪穿，肯定有病，但我勸人買舊樓住，管理費平！地皮肯定是熟地，才有價值。」

鴨脷洲大街3舊樓 兩財團掀爭購戰

78至84號項目 面向港鐵站高層享海景

港鐵南港島綫效應，刺激財團積極在鴨脷洲大街一帶收購舊樓重建，個別優質項目更掀起收購爭奪戰。例如鴨脷洲大街78至84號3幢舊樓便吸引兩個財團同時收購。

土地註冊處資料顯示，鴨脷洲大街84號興富樓地下A至L號舖，及閣樓部分舖位，面積約2,500平方呎，獲一家海外公司以2.2億元收購，呎價約8.8萬。據悉，該財團同時向住宅提出收購，惟暫未收購達強拍門檻。

興富樓地舖 呎價約8.8萬

消息指近日另一個財加入爭奪，並成功購入兩個單位，其中興富樓高層A室，實用面積343平方呎，收購價754.6萬元，成交呎價達2.2萬元，與同區其他收購中的項目相若。而上址原業主早於2007年以約79萬元購入單位，持貨14年，帳面獲利675.6萬元，升值8.5倍。

領福集團主席高兆霆證實，該公司加入鴨脷洲大街舊樓爭奪戰。他指出，該公司早前已經部署收購鴨脷洲大街78至84號3幢舊樓，其中鴨脷洲大街80至80A號，已經成功購入31%業權，於收購戰中可算佔主導地位。其中，2個住宅單位每個收購價1,238.6萬元，呎價約2.2萬元。

項目共45住宅及27舖位

資料顯示，上述鴨脷洲大街78至84號3幢舊樓，一共有45個住宅單位及27個舖位，樓齡約43年及54年，地盤面積共6,400平方呎，若以地積比9倍計，可重建樓面約5.8萬平方呎。而地盤優點是面向港鐵站出入口，高層單位可望開揚海景，極具重建價值。

另一方面，根據土地註冊處資料顯示，鴨脷洲大街17至23號、平瀾街5B至9號及新市街37至39號多幢舊樓，上月先後錄得59宗買賣登記，成交樓價介乎558萬 (住宅) 至3,000萬元 (舖位)，涉資約5.5億元，市場估計背後收購財團為宏安地產 (01243)，目前已經收購近9成業權。據了解，該批舊樓地盤面積接近7,000平方呎，若以地積比9倍計，可重建樓面約6.3萬平方呎。

中信泰富渣甸山建地標豪宅 關潔瑩：明年樓價升5%

早前以32億元奪得渣甸山大坑道地皮的中信泰富，將利用地段優勢，打造地標式豪宅。中信泰富物業代理董事關潔瑩表示，明年經濟向好，樓價預計升幅約5%。

關潔瑩表示，香港剛性需求強，低息環境持續，全球量化寬鬆，即使未能通關，本地交投依然活躍，成交宗數達6.4萬宗，已達2014年水平，樓價指數升幅相比過去一年上升了4.3%。按照種種數據去推測，不明朗因素亦逐漸散去，明年市況有望向好，料來年會有約5%升幅。

豪宅市場看高一綫

而豪宅市況方面，關潔瑩認為，香港經濟基礎穩固，今年失業率由年初的7.2%下調至第3季的4.3%，今年GDP政府估算約6.4%，如疫情受控，再加上通關在即，內地富商或會湧到香港入市，所以豪宅方面她會再看高一綫，預計會有約5至10%升幅。

中信泰富於2019年主力推售的馬鞍山峻源，至今已全數沽清148伙，共套現超過37億元，集團來年亦精心為渣甸山項目部署。關潔瑩表示，集團於2019年以32億元奪投得創下當年標書數目新高的渣甸山地皮，整個集團很興奮，並計劃將其打造成地標式建築。

綜合早前報道指，渣甸山項目最快於2023年以樓花形式推出，現時正在進行地基工程。關潔瑩續指，該項目最高可建22層，項目擁有背山面海的優點，不但可望維港景色，節日時亦可享絢爛煙花景，而且坐落於供應稀缺的渣甸山地段，此為港島中心點，交通便利，故集團對項目發展十分有信心。

就解決本港房屋問題，早前有官員提出，提高港人平均居住面積，以改善住屋環境。關潔瑩就認為，如果只訂下最細單位面積下限，而不增加土地供應，也是未能解決港人的住屋需求，因為土地面積不變之下，又要加大單位面積，就會減少了伙數供應。所以關潔瑩就此提出了3個意見，第一，增加土地供應、第二，加快土地審批程序、第三，放寬按揭成數門檻，這相比單單訂下最細單位面積下限更實用。

始終住屋問題源於需求大供應少，而且很多打工仔都未能立刻拿出一大筆金錢去繳付首期，以滿足置業需求，納米樓才會衍生出來。如政府可增加土地供應以紓緩房屋供應問題，在自由市場之下，港人就會有更多選擇，買到心儀單位，納米樓就未必存在，沒需求發展商就不會起。

Developers unfazed by sluggish stocks

Hong Kong's primary property market does not appear to be affected by the sluggish stock market, with Hang Lung Properties (0101) selling at least 78 flats at The Aperture in Ngau Tau Kok.

The first price list for the flats, which range from 320 to 771 square feet, offered a 4 percent discount, ranging between HK$20,076 and HK$23,847 per sq ft.

This round of sales received 1,500 checks, with nearly half of the buyers interested in two-bedroom flats and 40 percent in single-bedroom units.

The flats are expected to rent for HK$40 per square foot, with a rental rate of return of 3 percent, according to property agent.

The agent said that the majority of homebuyers are first-time homeowners, with 60 percent residing in Kowloon and the other 40 percent residing in the New Territories.

Meanwhile, a homeowner in Tai Koo Shing slashed their asking price by HK$3 million in order to attract buyers from the red-hot primary property market.

The 714-sq-ft three-bedroom flat, which was initially on the market for HK$17 million, eventually sold for HK$14 million, or HK$19,608 per sq ft.

Over the weekend, 14 secondary transactions were recorded at 10 blue-chip housing estates, the same as the previous month, after recording double-digit deals for the previous eight weeks.

According to a property agency, estates in the New Territories performed better, which saw six deals in City One Shatin, Caribbean Coast in Tung Chung and Kingswood Villas in Tin Shui Wai, rose by 50 percent over the same period.

Over the weekend, an 853-sq-ft three-bedroom unit in City One Shatin sold for HK$11.6 million, or HK$13,093 per sq ft. After holding the unit for eight years, the vendor earned a HK$3.2 million on paper.

According to another property agent, developers used the opportunity to sell flats over the holiday season, with some adopting price-cut strategies. On Saturday, more than 100 units were sold on the primary market.

Recent stock market instability has resulted in more money flowing into property, the agent said, while predicting the housing market will remain buoyant in the near future.

Hongkongers spent a record US$4.5 billion to buy lived-in subsidised homes amid soaring private flat prices

The transaction value of lived-in flats under the Home Ownership Scheme exceeded 2020’s US$3.34 billion as private home prices soar in Hong Kong

The easing of the mortgage lending policy for flats below HK$10 million for first-time buyers has also contributed to the rise

Hong Kong sales of lived-in subsidised homes rose to a record HK$34.9 billion (US$4.5 billion) for the first 11 months, as buyers rush for cheaper alternatives amid a surge in private home prices that have pushed them beyond general affordability.

The transaction value of lived-in flats under the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) has exceeded 2020’s HK$26.05 billion, according to property agency. The total number of deals in this period, at 6,530, was the highest since 1996, which saw 6,520 transactions.

The most expensive HOS flat transaction this year came last month, when a lived-in 577 sq ft flat at Fu Keung Court in Wong Tai Sin sold for HK$8.99 million, the agency said.

“Sales of HOS will continue to surge this month, as Hong Kong’s economy is improving and will boost buying confidence,” property agent said.

The agent said the that total transaction value could increase to HK$37 billion and the total number of deals to 6,900 this year.

The frenzy came as the overall prices of lived-in homes reached an all-time high in August, with another property agency predicting a jump of up to 5 per cent for 2022.

The agent also attributed rising prices to an easing of the mortgage lending policy for flats below HK$10 million for first-time buyers.

Under the current policy, homebuyers can apply for up to 90 per cent for flats worth HK$8 million or below and 80 per cent for flats that cost HK$10 million or less.

The Hong Kong government’s subsidised HOS flats can be sold to buyers eligible for the scheme without paying a premium. The maximum income and total asset requirements of HOS are set for individuals at HK$33,000 and HK$85,000, respectively, and HK$66,000 and HK$1.7 million for households of two or more people.

If sold in the secondary market to buyers not eligible for the scheme, the sellers must pay a premium set by the government. Most sellers can realise a net gain even after paying the premium because of high discounts originally offered by the government. HOS flats are offered at a discount of at least 30 per cent to low-income groups.

“Given the long waiting time for the government’s new HOS flats and the soaring private home prices, people would turn to the secondary market for a cheaper alternative,” the agent said.

The vendor who sold the flat at Fu Keung Court paid a land premium to the government before selling it in the open market, according to records from another property agency.

A similarly sized flat without a land premium is now being offered for HK$6.6 million according to a property agency.

In the private market, similarly sized flats at Lion Rise development in Wong Tai Sin cost about HK$10 million, according to the agency.

In May, a 645 sq ft flat in the same housing estate sold for HK$10.88 million, setting a record for the city’s HOS flat transactions, another agency said.

In November, 493 lived-in HOS flats changed hands for a total of HK$2.57 billion, up 5.1 per cent and 2.6 per cent from October respectively, the agency said.

Tin Chung Court was the most active trading HOS housing estate in Tin Shui Wai, with 14 transactions worth a total of HK$6.3 billion.

The agent said that the transactions below HK$4 million jumped 13.8 per cent from October to reach 66 deals last month, while those costing between HK$4 million and HK$5 million rose 9 per cent to 144 deals.

Flats sold for HK$5 million to HK$6 million advanced 2.6 per cent to 159 deals, and those above HK$6 million remained flat at 124 transactions, the agent said.

Last week, New World Development announced the launch of subsidised homes at discounts ranging from 40 to 50 per cent. They are meant to help low-income groups get on the property ladder.

As part of New World Subsidised Housing, the developer will offer 300 one-, two- and three-bedroom flats on a site in the New Territories West with a gross floor area of 130,000 sq ft to permanent Hong Kong residents and first-time homebuyers between the ages of 25 and 45.

粉嶺工業地估值逾3.5億

地政總署昨日公布，推出粉嶺安居街工業地招標，綜合市場估值約3.5億至3.8億，每呎樓面地價約4000至4300元，料吸引各大財團參與競投。

粉嶺安居街工業地下周五起招標，該地位於上水市地段第245號，容許作以工業、倉庫及附屬辦公室、資訊科技及電訊業 (即為數據中心)、以及直接支援工業營運的辦公室等，並容許用途的任何組合。

可發展為數據中心

地盤面積約1.76萬方呎，可建總樓面約8.7萬方呎，相關樓面不包括將由買方按照賣地條件所興建的公眾停車場的樓面面積。將於12月17日起招標，明年1月14日截標。

有測量師說，上述工業地用途限制對以往同類地皮有所放寬，靈活度及彈性高，而且隨「北部都會區」發展，料日後政府推出工業地比例減少，並不排除新型工業經濟的出現，亦會搶貴當區地價。另外，政府早前曾公布改劃該區用地發展，認為改劃有利區內發展。

另一測量師指出，近月多個工業區用地申請改劃發展，加上該區有北都概念，具有發展潛力。參考今年初粉嶺安樂門街、安全街與安居街交界的工業用地以約8.13億批出，每呎樓面地價約3750元，綜合市場估值，料是次地皮估值約3.5億至3.8億，每呎樓面地價約4000至4300元。

舂坎角地作對外電訊站

另外，該署亦推出南區舂坎角的鄉郊建屋地段第1219號用地招標，指定作對外電訊站用途，地盤面積約24262方呎。將於12月17日起招標，明年1月28日截標。

市局九龍城項目 將重建810伙

市建局旗下九龍城啟德道/沙浦道項目，現時已經收購了88%業權，並在今年7月已經向發展局建議收地，重建後將會提供810伙，最快有機會在2022或2023年推出。

該項目位於沙浦道31至49號、55至73號及啓德道24至82號，地盤面積約6,106平方米，將提供約810伙，並將興建一個地下廣場連接啓德地下購物街入口，平台作商舖用途，預計2030至2031年度落成。

有關項目涉及459項私人業權，至今有407個物業業主接受收購，佔整體比例約88%，市建局仍在積極與餘下的業主協商，並同時在今年7月向發展局建議引用《收回土地條例》收地。

另外，發展局局長黃偉綸出席市區更新基金一個活動致辭時稱，預計舊樓重建將會加快，而指市區更新基金成立時有5億元，現時剩下3億多元，也帶來不少力量，強調社區除了硬件，也需要軟件，基金未來有關角色會更大。

同時，他亦指出，銅鑼灣避風塘旁、遊艇會附近的新海濱項目，將於今個月內向公眾開放，有關設施面積約2.5公頃、相當於八分之一個維園。而東區走廊底下行人板將於約3年後完成，西環至東區海濱亦會貫通。

Small Sheung Wan flats cost upward of $5.4m

Henderson Land Development’s (0012) new project Caine Hill in Sheung Wan has unveiled the first price list of 50 flats ranging from 190 to 285 square feet.

The flats, which include 39 onebedroom and 11 studio units, are priced at between HK$5.42 million and HK$8.69 million after discounts, or from HK$26,572 to HK$30,759 per sq ft.

The sales arrangements will be announced next week at the earliest, and the first round of sales is expected to take place this month, while the show flats will be opened to the public on Saturday, said Mark Hahn Ka-fai, a general manager of the sales department.

Meanwhile, the Yoho Hub, atop Yuen Long Station, with a total of 1,030 flats, has received presale consent and will unveil its sales brochure soon, said the developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016).

The first price list is expected to be released as soon as next week and sales could kick off around Christmas, SHKP said.

Hong Kong saw 489 residential property transactions involving stamp duties in November, up 36 percent month-on-month, but the amount of duty charged dropped 20 percent to HK$996 million, data from the Inland Revenue Department showed.

A real estate consultancy said residential property prices are expected to rise 5 percent at most next year, as well as overall Grade A office rents.

In the office market, Link Real Estate Investment Trust (0823) said it will offer 30 smart offices in 12 malls for hourly rental today while Hang Lung Properties (0101) said merchant sales in its own shopping malls have returned to 80 percent of the level in 2018, but have not fully recovered because the border between the mainland and the city remains sealed.

In other news, Shun Tak (0242) said it acquired a residential project in Singapore for SG$557 million (HK$3.18 billion).

本港疫情走勢平穩，為甲廈市場釋出曙光，有代理指出，隨着核心區租金高位大幅回落，受到租客追捧，市場掀「再中環化」，企業回流中環核心區，加上疫市喘定，中港兩地明年可逐步通關，預明年未來一年甲廈租金升約5%。

該代理指出，本港疫持走勢穩定，帶動經濟表現逐步復甦，加上環球央行持續量化寬鬆，令市場游資相當充裕，今年以來工廈可謂獨領風騷，唯市場供應始終有限，故料明年市場資金將轉移至甲廈，儘管甲廈空置率仍然高踞不下，唯於今年第三季市場錄淨吸納量，證明市場已見喘定，若明年中港兩地可通關，屆時資金將再度流向甲廈市場，帶動甲廈市場回暖。

第三季錄淨吸納量

據代理統計資料顯示，今年11月整體甲廈平均呎租約59.7元，較2019年7月的高位每呎79元回落約24%。該代理指，隨甲廈租金從高位大幅回落，對中資及國際企業均具吸引力，料明年市場現「再中環化」(Recentralization)，料明年上半年甲廈租金可逐步靠穩，至下半年租金將有力回升，料全年幅度約5%，以傳統核心區最受惠。

整體甲廈租金高位跌24%

至於投資市場方面，該代理續指出，疫情至今揮之不去，但本港政經環境逐步回穩，為市場釋出正面訊息，香港作為國際金融中心，吸引世界各地投資者伺機入貨，加上亞洲地區疫情較歐美國家為穩定，故本港市場被環球各國投資「吼準」；對於美國聯儲局早前公布逐步減買債，該代理回應指，現時息口基數仍屬低水平，加上現今市場資金仍然充裕，同時，儘管聯儲局加息，本港銀行亦不一定同步跟隨，加息幅度亦相當有限，故對後市仍感樂觀。

該代理指出，近期工廈市場交投暢旺，其購買力主要來自外資基金或基構性投資者 (INSTITUTIONAL BUYER)，事實上，市場受社會運動及疫情等因素影響，令交投轉趨淡靜，去年市場成交量為過去10多年以來的新低，令市場累積一定購買力，加上期間環球央行持續量化寬鬆，令市場游走資金相當充裕，今年第三季本港M3數字處歷史高位徘徊，外資基金及基構性投資者亦順勢大舉集資，同時亦積極為資金尋找出路。

逾億元工商鋪成交暫錄157宗

該代理續指，中港兩地尚未通關，零售市場前景未見明朗，亦令資金轉移至工廈物業，帶動該類物業於逆市下跑出。疫情令市民生活模式有所改變，推動網上商貿及數據中心等需求急增，同時，在家工家愈趨普及，本港住屋環境寸金尺土，令迷你倉需求飆升。

據代理行統計資料顯示，今年以來逾億元的工商鋪的大手成交157宗，成交金額涉654.7億，較去年明顯彈升，當中工廈交投最為暢旺，成交金額達212億，較去年全年的76億，按升上升約1.78倍，重要的是，上述數據尚未計算領展早前以58.2億購入紅磡及柴灣汽車服務大樓。

深水埗全幢商住樓意向1.52億

深水埗一幢別緻的商住樓放售，位處區內旺段，業主意向價由約2億，減至約1.52億，料回報近3厘。

有代理表示，深水埗桂林街127號全幢舊樓，總建築面積約4906方呎，地下為商鋪，連同入則閣樓建築面積約1206方呎，1至3樓為住宅，實用面積約2773方呎。早前叫價約2億，近期調低價格約24%，至約1.52億放售，平均呎價近3.1萬，該物業包括地鋪及住宅，全數租出，租期最長至2023年底，不乏租用十多年的長情租客，月租總收入約38.1萬，較疫情前約50萬稍回落，按目前租金計算，新買家料回報約3厘。

料回報約三厘

該代理續稱，此項目座落於桂林街及鴨寮街交界，屬大單邊全幢，對正港鐵深水埗站出口，同時，近年區內逐步轉型，倍添年輕化，除外區客會到訪文青地段之鋪位外，近年亦住宅大廈落成入伙，例如海珀及弦雅等。

桂林街是深水埗區內一條熱鬧的街道，其道路名稱取自廣西桂林市，與北河街大致平行。桂林街店鋪主要售賣電器及電腦產品為主，也有部分售賣二手衣服及鞋子。

羅素街罕現鋪位意向3.8億

受疫情等因素打擊，核心區鋪位租金大幅回落，昔日貴為全球最貴租金的銅鑼灣羅素街，罕現放售個案，該鋪位以意向價3.8億放售，呎價高逾47萬，較57年前的購入價高3877倍。

有代理表示，上述放售物業為銅鑼灣羅素街28號地鋪，面積約800方呎，意向價約3.8億，物業現以交吉形式放售，現時該鋪位獲連鎖口罩店短期租用，月租約12.5萬。資料顯示，物業於2014年零售高峰期，曾獲知名護膚品牌以每月逾140萬續租。該鋪位處銅鑼灣一綫地段，面向區內著名地標時代廣場，人流量相當不俗，周遭鋪位多由大發展商持有作長綫收租。羅素街昔日亦被稱為全球最貴鋪租地段，發展潛力相當高。

口罩店每月12.5萬短租

據悉，原業主早於1964年以9.8萬購入上址，故上址若以該意向價售出，持貨57年帳面獲利逾3.79億，物業期間升值約3877倍。

該代理續稱，過去兩年商鋪市場受疫情影響而步入調整期，但隨着本港疫情漸趨穩定及受惠多個利好因素，商鋪市場重拾升勢。根據代理行資料顯示，本港五大核心消費區商鋪空置率持續改善，當中銅鑼灣區表現最好，該區最新商鋪空置率錄得約5.06%。

商鋪空置率約5.06%

該代理補充，羅素街早前亦錄得一宗鐘表店承租個案，該物業為羅素街59號地下B4號鋪，面積約900方呎，成交月租約20萬；反映奢侈品零售商對前景樂觀。銅鑼灣區作為核心消費區，又集合多類型元素，加上羅素街地鋪鮮有放售，相信此番物業放售反應會見理想。

資料顯示，該街道近期租金持續下滑，其中，銅鑼灣羅素街18號地鋪，建築面積約1000方呎，獲口罩店以短租形式租用，月租約10萬，平均呎租約100元，為期約半年。

據悉，該鋪早前由連鎖化妝品店以70萬租用，故最新租金急挫約86%。

另外，羅素街2至4號 Plaza 2000 2樓，面積約5042方呎，以約30萬租出，平均呎租約59.5元，舊租客為PRADA旗艦店，當時合共租用地下、1樓及2樓，總樓面約1.5萬方呎，每月租金高達900萬，平均呎租約600元。

工廈樓花銷情佳 呎價創新高

今年工廈市場表現理想，令投資者對工廈新盤感興趣。近日市場上兩工廈樓花盤開售，銷情甚佳，個別更創區內新指標。

市況仍向好，發展商即趁勢推出工廈新盤。其中麒豐資本旗下首個發展項目新蒲崗東傲，本月初正式登場。項目樓高24層，可銷售面積約28萬平方呎，涉及193伙，每層樓面由1萬至1.5萬平方呎，總投資額逾23億元。

早前集團正式推售物業，首階段推售5層，反應非常理想，累沽逾9成，套現逾6億元。發展商即進行加推，據悉有買家以約3,469.4萬元，買入20樓7、9及10室，建築面積合共3,154平方呎，呎價約11,000元，創新蒲崗工廈呎價新高。另外，最大手買家以逾1.21億元入市16樓全層，面積約12,769平方呎，呎價約9,500元。

第一集團GCC3 已沽1/3樓面

至於第一集團，亦推出長沙灣項目，涉及環球商貿廣場三期 (GCC3)，位於長沙灣大南西街1018號。項目銷情理想，銷售金額已超過10億元。據了解，項目共售出44個單位及部分車位，合共銷售面積約87,000平方呎，約佔項目三分之一總樓面，售出呎價約9,500至13,100元。

項目樓高26層，設有3層地庫停車場，2樓至29樓為工作室樓層，共設154個單位，單位面積由1,451平方呎至全層10,842平方呎，另設特色單位，可享獨立觀景平台。項目預計於2022年第二季落成。

第一集團近年積極發展長沙灣項目，單計區內便有3項重建項目，涉逾51萬平方呎樓面。長沙灣道916至922號工廈，佔地約9,600平方呎，將重建1幢27層高全新工廈，總樓面約12.92萬平方呎；而長沙灣道924至926號工廈，地盤面積約1.2萬平方呎，亦將重建為27層高工廈，總樓面約17.2萬平方呎。

分析指，今年工廈為投資市場焦點，獲基金、本地投資者等承接多宗全幢工廈。由於工廈價格相對便宜，而新式工廈設備可比商廈，適合工作室、創業人士使用，故需求強勁。相比起商廈市場，工廈在租務上仍較穩定，呎價相對低水，故相信工廈新盤承接力續理想。

柴灣誠興大廈經活化後，由工廈升級至商廈，質素提升外，物業鄰近港鐵站，適合各行各業。

置地周明祖：中港通關 商廈空置降

中港兩地通關在即，置地預計中港兩地通關之後，本港寫字樓的空置率將會下降。

置地早前公布2021年業績報告，表示本港寫字樓空置率上升。置地行政總裁周明祖認為，對集團中環的寫字樓不存在影響，主要與品質及定位表現良好有關。

他又指，空置率由6月底的6.4%，下降至9月份的6.1%，加上上半年寫字樓在租務方面開始活躍，周明祖表示，預計中港兩地通關後，會吸引不少投資者來港發展商機，加上香港滙聚不少人才，相信通關後本港寫字樓空置率會下降。

另外，為鞏固旗下中環商廈王國地位，集團增強物業配套，周明祖與旗下Centricity主管班立德、資產管理總經理安進思等，介紹旗下特色餐飲最新動向，包括Ami/ wood ear、moxie、Cathic及Basehall等餐廳。

增強物業配套 鞏固地位

周明祖指，一直對可持續發展十分重視，在2020年開始引入45間全新餐飲概念進駐，務求透過創新餐飲組合，為商客及顧客提供更優質的餐飲體驗，包括新增7間新餐廳以及提供更多的露天餐飲空間，希望能秉持可持續發展概念的食肆，提供一系列期間限定店可供選擇。

新地屯門全幢貨倉 嘉里物流租用

鄰近屯赤公路往來機場便 合物流用途

疫情下物流業發展理想，新地 (00016) 表示，旗下屯門一座物流倉物業，面積約15.8萬平方呎，獲嘉里物流租用。新地指，旗下工廈物業現時出租率達94%。

新地夥嘉里物流昨日舉行簽約儀式，公布新地旗下屯門全幢物流倉，總樓面約15.8萬平方呎，獲嘉里物流租用。新地代理房地產組合資產管理及交易策略部總經理霍利民表示，是次涉及物業樓高4層，租約為期3年。

是次交易進一步凸顯新地除了在地產、運輸基建、資訊科技及空運相關業務經驗豐富，更在物流業務上擁有優質、多元的工業物流資產組合。嘉里物流聯網首席財務主管鄭志偉指，近年趨向同業的較輕資產營運模式，故與新地合作。

兩年前業主放租 意向229萬

消息指，是次租務涉及物業為屯門浩福街新興鴻基屯門貨倉，項目鄰近新落成的屯赤公路，來往機場方便，而物業樓底高達16呎，配備大型載貨升降機及車場，可供24小時自主出入，故適合作物流用途。翻查資料，兩年前業主曾委託代理行，放租該項目，意向價約229萬元，平均呎價約14.5元，預計是次呎租水平接近。

霍利民稱，疫情下工廈、物流倉等需求穩定，集團旗下43幢工業、工商樓宇和物流倉儲，總面積約450萬平方呎，現時出租率達94%，甚為理想。他指，集團仍物色更多工廈及物流倉庫，以增強有關資產組合。近年市場屢現工廈項目，活化或改劃商廈或數據中心，霍氏指，暫未有計劃把工廈改劃重建，同系新意網 (01686) 已涉足數據中心，目前擁約300萬平方呎的工業或數據中心樓面。

深水埗醫局街舊樓強拍 新暉投資3.27億投得

深水埗醫局街134及136與138及140號舊樓昨日舉行強拍，由財團新暉投資在無競爭對手下，以底價3.27億元統一該舊樓業權。

資料顯示，新暉投資發展有限公司的公司董事分別為朱威澔及蘇宏進等人。作為公司董事之一的朱威澔指，這項目屬集團首次在港發展之地產項目，而集團在國內有多年地產發展經驗，並在江蘇、福建等地擁有房地產項目。集團亦曾在港競投官地。

計劃發展中小型單位

朱威澔指，項目暫時計劃發展中小型單位，主打開放式至2房，預計2至3年內推出市場。集團由約2年前開始就上述項目進行收購，將會繼續積極在港透過不同渠道，如競投官地、收購等，尋找合適地皮，並尋覓市區項目為主。

上述項目現為一幢於1956年落成的物業，地盤面積約4,617平方呎。如地盤重建為住宅或商住項目，地積比率9倍，可建樓面41,553平方呎，以拍賣成交價3.27億元計算，每呎樓面地價約7,869元。

另外，恒地 (00012) 收購的西半山羅便臣道94、94A及96號，亦將於今日舉行強拍，拍賣底價為5.221億元。物業佔地約6,362平方呎，該地皮現劃為「住宅 (乙類)」用途。

山頂道住宅地95%業權標售 值40億

山頂地皮極為罕有，現山頂道史超域台95%業權作聯合標售，市場估值約40億元。

有代理表示，山頂道81至95號史超域台住宅地盤現正標售，物業逾95%不可分割業權 (全數20個單位中的19個)，將以現狀交吉或連現有租約方式聯合標售，截標日期為2022年1月20日( 星期四) 正午12時。

每呎地價約7.6萬 下月中截標

物業為一幅住宅用地，總地盤面積約61,449平方呎，其現有建築面積約52,332平方呎，屬山頂地區僅餘的大型獨立地段。市場估值約40億元，每呎約7.6萬元。

項目早於1949年落成，翻查資料，項目由多名知名業主持有，包括華廈置業  (00278) 、香港興業 (00480) 副主席兼董事總經理查懋成之兒媳查陳愛茵、YGM貿易 (00375) 相關人士等；2018年，華廈置業聯同15位業主集合81.36%的業權，申請強拍山頂道81至95號。

不過16個申請人中，鑑於持有299地段的申請人，擁有該地段僅50%的業權，意味申請人持有不足8成業權，因此未符合強拍資格，遭土地審裁處拒絕批出強拍令，屬近10年首個遭否決的個案。

內企富豪23.6億 累購4伙Mount Nicholson

山頂Mount Nicholson第3期C座16樓C室、D座16樓D室，早前以逾12億元售出，呎價逾14萬創亞洲分層單位呎價新高。市場消息指，買家為內地企業香江集團董事兼香江健康產業副總經理劉楸妍。

呎價逾14萬 創亞洲分層新高

土地註冊處資料顯示，Mount Nicholson第3期D座16樓D室，實用面積4,544平方呎，連3個住宅車位售出，成交價近6.4億元，呎價14.08萬元，成為新「亞洲樓王」。資料顯示，登記買家與香江集團董事劉楸妍同名料為同一人，而且是次入市支付15%辣招稅，涉資近9,600萬元，大約購買到10個太古城2房單位。

據悉劉楸妍同時以5.61億元購入C座16樓C單位。

據了解，香江集團劉氏家族對Mount Nicholson可謂情有獨鍾，2018年初，香江集團董事局主席劉志強及兒子劉根森，分別以逾5.47億及逾5.9億元，購入2個單位以2,700萬元購入3個車位，即劉氏家族共以約23.64億元入市。

另一方面，市場消息透露，地產代理行管理層人士，早前以約1138萬元，購入啟德MONACO ONE 2B座高層D室，實用面積464平方呎，屬於2房間隔，呎價24528元。由於該買家本身已持有其他物業，是次入市須支付樓價15%辣招稅，即約170.7萬元。該買家回覆查詢時表示，個人睇好香港發展，料樓價中長綫升幅穩健。

該代理又謂加密幣或金融投資市場波動比較大，一直深信「藏富於樓」，磚頭有價。是次投資是睇好新區發展，鍾情啟德坐落於大型基建，而且周邊配套完善，故購入作私人中長綫投資。

Lohas flat goes for record $57m

The last flat at Lohas Park Phase 6 was sold at HK$57.08 million via tender, a record high for standard units at the Lohas Park development, the developer Nan Fung Group said.

The 2,555-sq-ft unit, with five bedrooms, sold for HK$22,341 per sq ft.

Nan Fung has collected around HK$20.7 billion after selling all the 2,392 flats at LP6.

The 108 parking spaces in the project, priced between HK$1.97 million and HK$2.18 million, will launch sales Saturday, the builder said, adding that it has earned more than HK$15 billion in revenue so far this year.

Meanwhile, more new homes are set to hit the market.

In Tseung Kwan O, Kowloon Development (0034) said it will launch another batch of units at Manor Hill soon and the sales will take place on Saturday at the earliest.

In Ho Man Tin, 17 flats at VAU Residence will be put on the market, bringing the total flats available for sale on Saturday to 25, said developer Vanke Hong Kong.

In Kai Tak, the second phase of Monaco One is expected to receive presale consent, and may become Wheelock Properties' first project that launches sales next year, it said.

In the office market, Sino Land (0083) said its first Grade A office comprehension project in Yuen Long named One North, will be completed in the third quarter of next year.

Separately, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it has leased a 158,000-sq-ft logistics warehouse in Tuen Mun Industrial Area to Kerry Logistics (Hong Kong) for a period of three years.

SHKP said industrial buildings in the district have been favored by the logistics industry in recent years due to improved transportation facilities in Tuen Mun and the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

Lululemon opens first street-facing store in Central, Samsung takes up prime space as Hong Kong’s retail rent tumbles by a third

Shop rents declined by 34 per cent between first quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of this year, a property consultancy says

Queen’s Road Central resilient because it ‘also caters to the domestic market and is not mainly reliant on mainland Chinese tourists, unlike Russell Street’

With rents along Queen’s Road Central declining by about a third over the last three years, brands and retailers such as athletic apparel maker Lululemon Athletica and appliances and mobile phones giant Samsung are taking up space in a prime business and retail area in Hong Kong’s main business zone.

Shop rents in the area have declined by 34 per cent from HK$745 (US$95.5) per square foot a month in the first quarter of 2018 to HK$495 per square foot a month in the third quarter of this year, according to a property consultancy.

Canada-based Lululemon has taken up a 3,620 sq ft space in H Queen’s, its first street-facing shop in Hong Kong and the first that occupies two floors. The store was vacated by baseball cap seller MLB after a two-year tenancy.

“We are excited to launch our first street-front store in Hong Kong on Queen’s Road Central,” said Gareth Pope, senior vice-president, Lululemon, Asia-Pacific. “As our ninth location in Hong Kong and 88th store in the region, it underscores the strength of this market and our growth momentum across Asia-Pacific. Establishing our presence in this iconic location will bring us even closer to our community.”

The district was not unaffected by the anti-government protests in the city in 2019 and the Covid-19 pandemic. Fashion retailers Gap, Topshop and Esprit were among brands that leased space along the same road, but have since vacated their stores. However, with brands coming in and leasing shops, Queen’s Road Central has proved to be more resilient than Russell Street in Causeway Bay, once the world’s priciest retail strip.

A number of foreign brands have expanded in Central of late. Samsung has taken up space in New World Tower, which is also on Queen’s Road Central. Casual clothes brand American Eagle took up a 7,000 sq ft space vacated by Gap in LHT Tower. In October last year, mid-priced French sporting goods retailer Decathlon rented a 9,300 sq ft shop previously rented by luxury leather goods retailer MCM in Entertainment Building, also on Queen’s Road Central.

“Queen’s Road Central has its own identity. For brands that are either coming in to Hong Kong, or are in an expansion mode, they always look for Queen’s Road Central. I think it’s because the district can capture both white-collar workers – those in the financial industry – and also tourists,” a property consultant said. “In short, the district also caters to the domestic market and is not mainly reliant on mainland Chinese tourists, unlike Russell Street.”

Russell Street is seeing a major overhaul of its tenants mix. Once occupied by luxury brands such as Italian fashion label Prada and high-end lingerie maker La Perla, the street is now mostly occupied by medical masks retailers. For example, British luxury fashion house Burberry will shut its flagship store on the street early next year, when its 10-year lease expires.

“Russell Street is only likely to recover once the border with the mainland reopens,” the property consultant said. “But we don’t know when that is and if mainland tourists will come back.”

新冠肺炎疫情逐漸受控，整體經濟開始步入復甦期，甲級寫字樓租賃市場連續兩季表現回暖。有代理行指出，寫字樓租金跌幅已見收窄，預計明年中環頂級寫字樓租金或重現增長。

該行代理表示，2021年第四季甲級寫字樓的吸納量為18.55萬方呎，雖然全年吸納量仍為負57.87萬方呎 (遷出騰空的樓面多於新租出樓面)，但較2020年全年的負230萬方呎已經大為改善。新租賃成交以金融及保險行業租戶為主，佔約42%。

商廈租金方面，今年全年各區平均跌幅為4.7%，下跌幅度相比去年的19.3%大為收窄；整體待租率由今年第二季的14.4%，回落至第四季的13.6%。

該代理認為，2022年將有超過200萬方呎全新甲級寫字樓供應相繼落成，整體待租率料升至16%至17%，導致整體平均租金將下調1%至3%。不過，由於新落成商廈主要位於非核心區，故中環頂級寫字樓租金有望錄得約1%的輕微增長。

代理行：住宅價看漲一成

該行另一代理指出，疫情受控，經濟正處於穩步復甦階段，消費市場得以改善，商舖租金已經見底，空置率將進一步下降。預期2022年舖租將於上半年進一步回揚，升幅由2%至5%，中環的租金漲幅估計更可達5%至8%。

另一代理預期，2022年本港住宅樓市仍然向好，樓價將有5%至10%升幅，其中較看好位於市區的豪宅。

葵涌工廈重建積極 變身數據中心

受惠工廈活化政策，各區工廈頻頻申請重建或改裝，以釋出物業最大潛力，當中葵涌近年的工廈重建或改裝個案轉趨積極，目前中葵涌有12個相關的申請，涉及總樓面面積高達261.84萬平方呎。而隨5G時代降臨，數據中心的改劃申請亦增加。

葵涌區有不少工業區，其中葵涌道以東的工業區，近年積極轉型，相繼錄有不少工廈重建或者改裝個案，最新有外資基金將本年中購入的工廈，向城規會申請改裝為數據中心。

光輝凍倉申改數據中心

該工廈為永業街11至19號光輝凍倉（二倉），外資基金ESR在今年5月以18億元向已故「舖王」鄧成波買入上址後，近期向城規會申請將全幢工廈改裝為15層高的數據中心，並以地積比率10.19倍發展，涉及總樓面約35.23萬平方呎。申請者認為，擬議發展可加速葵涌工業區的活化進展。

事實上，隨着5G年代來臨，整個大氣候逐漸轉變，市場對數據中心的需求大大增加，計入上述最新申請，單計葵涌區已錄至少7宗的相關重建或改建申請，涉約179萬平方呎樓面。在上述申請中，具中資背景的萬國數據最積極，集團先後為區內3幢工廈並申請重建為數據中心，涉及地點包括打磚坪街57至61號中央工業大廈、藍田街2至16號葵涌聯發工業第一大廈及大圓街2至10號美羅工業大廈，合共涉及約75.9萬平方呎總樓面。

另外，金朝陽 （00878） 早前亦就位於華星街13至17號的南華冷房大廈，向城規會申請發展1幢20層高的數據中心，涉及總樓面約21.8萬平方呎。興勝創建 （00896） 旗下業成街22號太平洋貨運大廈，擬建成1幢樓高22層的數據中心。

羅氏美光 重建新工廈

值得一提的是，中葵涌一帶亦有不少重建為商廈的申請，如美聯工商舖 （00459） 夥同德永佳集團 （00321） ，為羅氏美光發展大廈向城規會重建成1幢26層高的新式工廈。

而房委會早前已完成有關為轄下6幢工廈重建為公營房屋的可行性研究，計劃把其中位於大連排道103至113號的葵安工廠大廈擬將清拆，並重建為公營房屋，預計可提供約600個單位。

More new flats for sale over weekend

Hang Lung Properties (0101) is this week offering 130 flats at The Aperture in Ngau Tau Kok, which carry an average discounted price of HK$22,628. That is 5 percent higher than prices for the first batch.

The flats going on the market on Saturday range from one-bedroom to three-bedroom homes, with sizes from 320 square feet to 770 sf.

More new homes are also going on sales listings elsewhere on Saturday.

In Tseung Kwan O, the latest round of sales will involve 312 flats at Manor Hill from Kowloon Development (0034).

A new project from Henderson Land Development (0012) at Caine Hill in Sheung Wan will see 50 flats being offered on Saturday.

Also this week, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) will publish a first price list for the Yoho Hub project atop Yuen Long MTR Station, which will be providing at least 206 homes.

At Mid-Levels West, Henderson acquired several old buildings at Robinson Road for HK$522 million through a compulsory sale, and it has now received a nod for another compulsory sale for a 10,361 sf site also at Robinson Road.

On other home-related topics, a property agency expects that next year could see a 10 percent hike in overall property prices because of an easing of the pandemic situation, which would see a reopening of the border with the mainland.

Who is the buyer of the US$82 million property on The Peak – Asia’s most expensive flat?

Lau Chauin, the daughter of the chairman of Heungkong Group, paid HK$140,800 (US$18,050) per square foot for a flat and three parking spaces in Mount Nicholson on The Peak

The previous record for Asia’s most expensive flat on a per square foot basis was held by CK Asset’s 21 Borrett Road project

The buyer of Asia’s most expensive flat in the ultra-luxury Mount Nicholson project on The Peak is Lau Chauin, according to a source close to the deal.

Lau, the daughter of Lau Chi-keung, the chairman of Heungkong Group, which has interests ranging from logistics and finance to health care and property development on the mainland, bought flats 16C and 16D in phase three of the exclusive project for a combined HK$1.2 billion (US$154 million) last month.

Flat 16D, measuring 4,544 sq ft and three car parking spaces in the project developed by Wharf Holdings and Nan Fung Development, was sold for HK$639.8 million, or HK$140,800 per square foot, making it Asia’s most expensive flat on a per square foot basis. It broke the record held by a flat in CK Asset Holding’s 21 Borrett Road luxury residential project in Mid-Levels. That flat, which also came with three parking spaces, sold for HK$459.4 million, or HK$136,000 per square foot, in February.

The price for the 4,186 sq ft flat 16C at Mount Nicholson was HK$560.92 million, or HK$134,000 per square foot, slightly lower than the Borrett Road flat.

“About 50 per cent of Hong Kong’s ultra-luxury homes [in the past two years] have been sold to wealthy mainland Chinese or so called new Hongkongers,” property agent said. “Buyers from the mainland are willing to pay big bucks for homes on The Peak as spectacular views like those of Victoria Harbour are rare in China.”

New Hongkongers comprise 60 per cent of the owners of two of the most exclusive residential addresses in Hong Kong – 21 Borrett Road and Mount Nicholson, according to land title searches conducted by the South China Morning Post.

The term “new Hongkongers” is applied to residents who have recently acquired permanent residency in the city. Permanent residents do not have to pay an extra 30 per cent stamp duty on property purchases levied on non-permanent residents.

Lau, a first-time local buyer with permanent residency, paid only 4.25 per cent, or HK$23.84 million, in tax for flat 16C, according to local media reports. But for flat 16D she was required to pay a 15 per cent tax, or HK$95.97 million.

In 2018, the Lau family bought two more flats – 11C and 11D – in the same project for HK$1.16 billion, shelling out another HK$27 million for three parking spaces last year, according to media reports.

The family has spent a total HK$2.36 billion for four flats and six parking spaces at Mount Nicholson.

The Heungkong Group, which currently employs 20,000 people, started off as a furniture seller in Shenzhen in 1990, according to the company’s website. It operates two major furniture chains – Heungkong Furniture and Kinhom Furniture – across China. It also operates the furniture trading platform, Kinhom.com, which has more than 6,000 furniture brands.

Heungkong later expanded into health care, logistics, property development and finance. It owns stakes in many financial institutions such as China Guanfa Bank, GF Securities and GF Funds and is also a principal shareholder of Guangdong Nanyue Bank and Bank of Tianjin, according to its website.

Meanwhile, Xu Hang, the co-founder of Shenzhen-listed Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics, has bought a 4,664 sq ft penthouse at 39 Conduit Road, Mid-Levels, for HK$308 million, according to media reports.

The fully furnished four-bedroom flat on the 45th floor, which was previously owned by the debt-laden mainland Chinese conglomerate HNA Group, had been put up for sale by creditors in August.

A property agency declined to comment on the Post’s queries related to the transaction on Tuesday.

Another agent said that for mainlanders owning a super deluxe house in Hong Kong is a mark of elite status.

“Unlike mainland buyers who will pay record prices for such properties, Hongkongers are much more conservative and do not like to flaunt their wealth,” the agent said.

Deluge of new flat handovers to depress Lohas Park rents in the short term, say agents

Nearly 4,200 flats in Sea To Sky, Marini and Montara will be delivered in the next few months

A few owners have rented their flats at rates below the asking price, agents say

Rents in Lohas Park are expected to come under pressure amid an increase in supply of new homes in the area, property agents say.

Nearly 4,200 homes in three projects – Sea to Sky, Marini and Montara – will be ready for occupation in Hong Kong’s largest residential enclave this quarter and in the first quarter of next year. Marini is the largest of the three with 1,653 units, while Sea to Sky and Montara have 1,422 and 1,120 units, respectively.

“Rents will definitely face heavy downward pressure with so many new units available around the same time,” property agent said.

Some 200 to 400 units are already on the market, with rents of about HK$40 (US$5.1) per square foot, agents said.

A two-bedroom, 468 sq ft unit at Sea to Sky was recently rented at HK$16,000 a month, 5 per cent lower than the asking price, according to another agent.

Tseung Kwan O has long been popular with renters, especially mainland students, thanks to its cheaper prices and proximity to local universities.

Rents in the area bottomed out at the end of last year, having fallen by 5-10 per cent because of the social unrest in 2019 and later due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As the city brought the pandemic under control, universities and schools resumed normal operations this year, which allowed mainland students to return. As a result, rents started to inch up this year, with the average rent about 10-15 per cent higher than in 2019.

With the opening of the 480,000 sq ft Lohas shopping mall last year, and international schools and kindergartens coming up in the area, more local and expatriate families would love to move in, agents said.

They added that as the area provides a range flat sizes, most of which are new and come with club facilities, these will appeal to a young clientele.

Property agents remain optimistic about rents in Lohas Park and Tseung Kwan O.

After the market digests the supply from Montara, Sea to Sky and Marini, the rental market will return to normal, agent said.

Another agent said that the 1.8km Cross Bay Link connecting Tseung Kwan O-Lam Tin Tunnel to Wan Po Road, which is set to be completed next year, will relieve traffic congestion in the area and further increase the popularity of the area.

Hong Kong property investment to grow by 20 per cent next year, led by hotels, serviced apartments, property consultancy said

Multifamily conversions – hotels converted into long-stay flats for rental – are proving an attractive investment, property consultant said

Industrial buildings and sites were among the most active sectors, last year and that is expected to continue

Hong Kong will see property investment grow by a fifth in 2022, with hotels and serviced apartments set to become investors’ main acquisition target, according to a property consultancy.

There will be 200 major transactions next year valued at around HK$100 billion (US$12.81 billion), the highest since 2018, according to the global property service firm’s “Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area (GBA) Property Market 2021 Review and 2022 Outlook.”

As the pandemic gradually eased and the economy regained some life this year, Hong Kong’s property market has shown signs of recovery.

“Investors worldwide have recently been drawn to emerging multifamily conversions such as serviced apartments and hotel properties,” property consultant said. “The aforementioned asset classes will likely benefit from the revival of tourism activities when the border gradually reopens.”

Multifamily conversions – hotels converted into long-stay flats for rental – are proving an attractive investment, the consultant said.

In November, American developer Hines bought the 158-room Butterfly on Prat hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui for HK$930 million. Hines planned to convert the hotel into a co-living flagship to be managed by local residential operator Dash Living.

Major investment deals in 2021 were mainly driven by local investors and foreign funds. The number of transactions more than doubled from the previous year.

Industrial buildings and development sites were among the most active sectors, each accounting for about 30 per cent of the total volume, according to the property consultancy.

“Demand for industrial buildings in 2021 was at a historic high, and we expect this to continue in 2022,” the consultant said.

On Monday, Sun Hung Kai Properties agreed to lease an en-bloc industrial building spanning 158,000 square feet to Kerry Logistics. Located in Tuen Mun, in the New Territories, the logistics warehouse is near the Hong Kong International Airport and enjoys well-developed transport facilities.

Sun Hung Kai, Hong Kong’s biggest home builder by market value, owns an industrial and logistics portfolio with gross floor area of about 4.5 million square feet along with nearly 12,000 car parking spaces.

Across Hong Kong, the sector consists of 43 industrial premises available for rent, including buildings, industrial-office developments and advanced logistics centres.

“During the pandemic, industrial has offered a higher rental return yield compared to other commercial sectors such as office and retail,” said Raymond Fok Lee-man, head of the Industrial and Logistics Portfolio Department at Sun Hung Kai.

The industrial sector also benefits from government policies, and the fact warehouse rent has been the least affected by the pandemic, according another property consultancy.

“The trend will continue in 2022. However, it may slow down due to the shortage of available stock in the market as a lot of stock has been absorbed by institutional buyers during 2021,” the other consultant said.

Property consultant expects industrial buildings, residential development sites and multifamily conversions to become the three key pillars of the investment market in 2022.

本港疫情走勢穩定，為市場釋出正面訊息。有代理行指出，11月整體甲廈空置率報9.6%，按月微跌0.4%，中環空置率新報7.7%，按月下跌約0.3%，並創過去8個月新低。

有代理行發表的報告指出，上月甲廈及乙廈售價個別發展，甲廈乙廈售價分別按月升0.7%及跌0.9%，期間為矚目之大手寫字樓買賣為灣仔告士打道151號資本中心高層全層連三個車位，面積約10380方呎，作價約2.25億，呎價約2.2萬，創該廈超過兩年以來的呎價新高。

租金方面，分散業權甲廈租金及乙廈租金，上月按月分別跌0.4%及跌1.4%。而上月錄得最大宗的租務成交為續租個案，美銀以月租約1677萬續租中環長江集團中心共7層樓面，呎租約112元。

中環空置率7.7%

空置率方面，11月份整體甲廈空置率有所好轉，整體指標甲廈空置率由10月份的10%下降至11月份的9.6%。當中上環及金鐘的表現最好，上環的指標甲廈空置率由10月份的9.4%下降至8.7%，金鐘的指標甲廈空置率更由10月份的8.6%下降至6.5%，中環區空置率新報7.7%，按月下跌約0.3%，並創過去8個月新低。

該行代理表示，現時寫字樓空置率仍然高企，惟市場預期中港兩地有機會於短期內通關，帶動寫字樓成交。

中遠大廈低層每呎48元租出

本港疫情走勢平穩，帶動甲廈租賃交投轉活。消息指，上環中遠大廈低層單位，於交吉一年後，以每呎約48元租出，屬市價水平。

市場消息指出，上環中遠大廈低層07室至08室，面積3519方呎，以每呎約48元租出，月租約16.89萬；據代理指出，上述租金屬市價水平，上址早前由業主自用，約於一年前遷出至今。

代理表示，隨着疫情走勢持續平穩，現今甲廈空置率逐步改善，惟整體租金表現仍備受壓力，踏入年尾，部分業主希望於農曆新年前將單位租用，令議價空間逐步擴闊，故近期甲廈租金均見折讓。

業主曾自用 交吉逾一年

據代理行資料顯示，該甲廈近期頻錄承租，其中，該廈高層7室，面積2442方呎，本月以124542元租出，呎租約51元。

資料顯示，該甲廈近期矚目成交為由結好控股持有的低層全層，於交吉約一年後，以股權轉讓方式易手，作價4.2億，呎價約2.12萬。

創豪坊錄連環成交

九龍灣創豪坊於昨日連錄三成交，呎價介乎1.28萬至1.36萬，其中，中層19室，面積828方呎，以約1126.08萬售出，呎價約13600元；另一成交為同層12至17室，面積2559方呎，以約3315.69萬售出，呎價約12957元。

啟德尚．珒溋鋪三億洽至尾聲 發展商：準買家引入零售品牌

疫情持續平穩，帶動鋪市交投回穩，發展商紛趁勢沽售非核心物業。由龍湖及合景泰富合作發展的啟德尚．珒溋地下及一樓巨鋪，準買家洽購至尾聲，市傳作價約3億。

鋪市再錄大手成交。據龍湖及合景泰富發言人指出，旗下合作發展項目啟德尚．珒溋商場，正與準買家進行最后洽購階段，預計本月底完成交易，據了解，準買家計畫引入零售及飲食品牌，稍后有新進展，會再對外公布。

龍湖等料月底完成交易

綜合市場消息指出，上址為該項目地下及一樓，總樓面約1.05萬方呎，洽購價約3億，若成交最終落實，平均呎價約28571元，市傳買家為外資基金，料購入作長綫收租用途。

代理指出，上述成交價屬合理水平，儘管踏入年底，加上變種病毒來勢洶洶，惟市場仍有力錄上述大手成交，證明實力買家對後市仍然樂觀，事實上，近期不少發展商紛沽售旗下非核心物業，以增加自身現金流，料明年首季同類成交持續浮現，買家以大型基金為主，購入作長綫收租用途。

平均呎價2.85萬

資料顯示，近期不少發展商紛沽售旗下鋪位物業，其中，由恒基持有的鴨脷洲大街68號倚南一籃子地鋪，涉11間鋪位，總樓面約5228方呎，早前獲本地投資者以2.25億承接，平均呎價43037元，以月租33.48萬計，料回報率約1.8厘。

由華懋集團持有的葵涌大隴街53至73號葵龍大廈地下1至4號、5及7號鋪，面積約7049方呎，以7100萬易手，呎價約10072元，據悉，該鋪由護老院以約15萬承租，料買家享回報約2.5厘。

另外，該集團早前亦以約1.208億沽出慈雲山蒲崗村道145至151號慈華大廈地下低層及地鋪，總樓面約13921方呎，呎價約8678元。據悉，上址現時由護老院以約35.86萬租用，料買家享租金回報約3.59厘。

土瓜灣全幢工廈意向呎租16元

今年6月屯馬線通車後，帶動土瓜灣人流，有業主看準市況，推出全幢工廈招租，平均呎租約16元。

每月租金25萬

有代理表示，宋皇臺道90號全幢，包括地下至2樓共3層，地下面積約9425方呎，1樓約5750方呎，2樓約300方呎，整個項目提供約15475方呎，現以每月約25萬放租，平均呎租約16元。物業設來去水位，內置樓梯上落，1樓及2樓分別附平台，前租客經營汽車陳列室，受惠活化工廈政策，項目可作汽車陳列及維修外，亦從事藝術創意行業，例如拍攝、影像製作等。

該代理續說，今年內土瓜灣暫錄約7宗工廈地廠租賃，是次招租物業屬罕見類型，配套不俗。

另一代理表示，觀塘駿業街66號巧運工業大廈單位，面積約1460呎，以732萬元成交，平均呎價約5020元，市場呎租19元，回報率達4.5厘，原業主於 2018年以684萬購入，持貨3年，帳面獲利48萬。該單位位於高層，多窗開揚光猛，內置洗手間和冷氣配備。大廈內設有 2部客梯和貨梯。大廈鄰近多條巴士站，往全港主要地區，步行港鐵站只需3分鐘。

該代理續稱，市場對工廈需求有增無減，觀塘區交通配套完善及人流集中，加上成業街與傳統一線地段貼近，又得政府擬計畫中官塘行動區地利之勢，具升值潛力。

今年補地價逾400億 創歷史新高

測量師：發展商趕收地前 積極補價改劃住宅

發展商加快補地價，今年至今補地價金額暫錄得404億元，打破2017年紀錄，創歷史新高水平，連同賣地收入，預計將推高政府今年度 (2021年4月至2022年3月) 土地收入至逾1,100億元。

據地政總署昨日最新資料顯示，2021年開始至今，合共錄得404億元補地價，包括新增5宗共55.3億元較大額補地價，總數超過2017年400億元的歷史高位。

值得留意的是，2017年錄得一宗新地 (00016) 西貢十四鄉涉及159億元的巨額補地價，因此今年實際補地價個案較2017年時候多出更多，亦涉及更多中大型項目。

事實上，即使扣除113.8億元涉及鐵路項目，以及8.6億元涉及公營房屋及基建設施的補地價後，整體補地價金額仍然高達281.6億元。年內錄得較大額的住宅項目補地價，包括香港興業 (00480) 及中信股份 (00267) 為愉景灣北部項目補地價52.4億元，將建1,400伙。

全年補地價 或達550億水平

由於近期九建 (00034) 及太古地產 (01972) 等亦先後公布，分別接納地政總署就牛池灣前聖約瑟安老院項目，及柴灣前中巴車廠重建的補地價金額，合共涉及約142億元；兩者將會陸續完成成交手續，有機會最終全年補地價金額達550億元水平。

有測量師表示，部分補地價個案來自新界，估計與政府早前公布推動北部都會區願景有關，而且目前官地數目不算特別多，所以發展商會積極以補地價形式增加土地儲備。

該測量師又預計，明年補地價趨勢會持續活躍，主因是在北部都會區概念推動下，發展商會趕及在政府收地前，積極發展土地，以免日後土地遭政府收回。同時，由於現時申請放寬地積比率的難度減少，這亦會鼓勵發展商申請補地價。

年度地價收入 超目標2成

受惠於補地價金額大增，連同中環新海濱地王508億元售出後，2021/22年 (2021年4月至2022年3月) 財政年度政府賣地達883億元，年度地價收入已經達1,187.9億元，較政府預測的目標976億元，高出2成或211.9億元，亦較2020/21年度地價收入870億元高出36%。

星星地產元朗項目 補地價8.18億

地政總署資料顯示，最新補地價個案涉及九龍及新界項目，當中金額最大個案，為星星地產 (01560) 旗下元朗宏業西街21號項目，補地價金額為8.18億元，將會重建為住宅。

項目前身為FedEx World Service Center，鄰近半新盤朗屏8號，2016年底由星星地產以約3.4億元買入。

事實上，發展商近年多次就上述地皮提出住宅重建計劃，最終獲城規會准許重建為1幢24層高大廈，提供335伙住宅，總樓面約17.1萬方呎。以此計算，即每呎補地價約4,780元。

建335伙住宅 料日後呎售1.5萬

翻查資料，長實 (01113) 於8月以7.16億元奪得元朗流業街與涌業路交界住宅地，每平方呎樓面地價為9,112元。而元朗東頭限量地早於2013年9月由新地 (00016) 以7.51億元投得，當時每平方呎樓面地價3,243元，目前已發展為映御。由此可見，是次元朗宏業西街21號項目的補地價尚算合理。粗略估算，日後發展商每呎需賣1.5萬元才可獲合理利潤。

另外，本地老牌黃氏家族持有的九龍城太子道西294、294A、296及296A號項目亦完成補地價，涉逾4.88億元，以總樓面約6.17萬平方呎計，每呎樓面地價約7,917元。

至於由永義國際 (01218) 持有的九龍塘窩打老道93、93A、95及95A號項目，以逾3.62億元完成補地價。以總樓面面積約48,998平方呎計算，每呎補地價約7,400元。發展商近日表示，最快明年以現樓形式推出，提供逾50伙。

同時，位於觀塘勵業街50號的翠華集團中心亦計劃重建為商業項目，涉及補地價金額逾1.4億元。

英皇筲箕灣地盤 6億洽至尾聲

可重建4.7萬呎住宅 樓面地價逾1.2萬

港島區地皮獲財團留意，英皇國際 (00163) 筲箕灣南安街地盤，獲財團6億元洽至尾聲，快將易手。英皇年中統一項目業權，以6億計每呎樓面地價逾1.2萬元。

市場消息指，筲箕灣南安街地盤獲洽購，涉及筲箕灣南安街67至77號，屬住宅甲類地盤。項目鄰近筲箕灣港鐵站，附近有譽都等新型住宅。該地盤面積約5,878平方呎，按最高地積比8倍計，可重建樓面約4.7萬平方呎住宅。消息指，項目獲6億元洽購至尾聲，料快將易手。若以6億元計，每呎樓面地價約1.27萬元。

曾料合併地盤後自行重建

據悉，該地盤由英皇國際持有，早年已展開收購，集齊南安街73至77號業權後，另收集南安街67至71號仲齊大廈逾9成業權，本年中進行強拍，集團以1.95億元，統一筲箕灣南安街仲齊大廈業權。當時預計英皇將會合併地盤自行重建，可興建一幢約25至26層高商住物業，提供約168個住宅單位。

中環地舖1.8億沽 14年賺7千萬

近期英皇亦有沽貨，包括以1.8億元沽出中環域多利皇后街5至8號鴻基大廈地下舖位，面積約3,974平方呎。集團於2007年以1.1億元購入，持貨14年轉手，賺約7,000萬元離場。

另外，本年中集團亦以5.08億元，沽出觀塘鴻圖道全幢工廈，總樓面面積約8.95萬平方呎，呎價約5,676元，由黑石基金承接。

奢侈品回歸 羅素街舖3.8億放售

銅鑼灣一直是港人消費的旺區，早前位於羅素街一地舖獲天梭表 (TISSOT) 以20萬元租用，是次成交為接近兩年疫情以來，羅素街首宗鐘錶店租舖個案，業界預計後市氣氛將會熾熱。

加上有投資者及用家開始轉到傳統核心購物區，因而令一綫街道頻錄成交個案。預計會吸引更多投資者進駐銅鑼灣區，可以推動本港經濟。

新近有業主看準市況，以交吉形式出售銅鑼灣羅素街地舖，叫價約3.8億元。

面積約800呎 交吉放售

有代理表示，今次放售物業位於銅鑼灣羅素街28號地下舖位，面積約800平方呎 (未核實)，意向價約3.8億元。

物業現以交吉形式放售。現時該舖位獲商戶作短期租用。資料顯示，物業於2014年零售高峰期，曾獲知名護膚品牌以每月逾140萬元續租。該代理指，業主持貨多年，現忍痛割愛作重整投資組合；該舖地理環境優越，屬羅素街旺段，面向區內著名地標時代廣場，人流如鯽，周遭舖位多由大發展商持有作長綫收租。羅素街昔日亦被稱為全球最貴舖租地段，發展潛力相當高。

5核心消費區 空置續改善

該代理表示，過去兩年商舖市場受疫情影響而步入調整期，但隨着本港疫情漸趨穩定及受惠多個利好因素，商舖市場重拾升勢。

根據代理行資料顯示，本港5大核心消費區商舖空置率持續改善，當中銅鑼灣區表現最好，該區最新商舖空置率錄得約5.06%。黃氏補充，羅素街早前亦錄得一宗鐘錶店承租個案，該物業為羅素街59號地下B4號舖，面積約900平方呎 (未核實)，成交月租約20萬元；反映奢侈品零售商對前景樂觀。銅鑼灣區作為核心消費區，又集合多類型元素，加上羅素街地舖鮮有放售，相信此番物業放售反應會見理想。

Mid-Levels flat fetches $176m

Luxury homes continue to sell in Hong Kong, despite the economic uncertainty.

A 2,193-square-foot four-bedroom unit with two ensuites and two parking lots was sold via tender at 21 Borrett Road in Mid-Levels yesterday, with developer CK Asset (1113) collecting HK$176.8 million.

In the primary market, Sino Land's (0083) One Central Place is expected to be launched before the end of the year, offering 121 units in Central.

Separately, CK Hutchison (0001) bought back 211,500 shares for HK$10.6 million yesterday, marking the 54th repurchases of the group since March this year with a total of 21.37 million shares costing HK$1.2 billion. This came as Goldman Sachs took out CK Hutchison from its Conviction Buy list and slashed the target price to HK$79 from HK$84. The lack of commitment on further buybacks by the conglomerate and fewer opportunities of value-unlocking steered to the decision, it said.

市建局昨日公布，嘉里建設 (00683) 以55.878億元，奪得土瓜灣鴻福街/銀漢街項目，即每呎樓面地價約12,591元，並較恒地 (00012) 約兩個月前奪得的市建局土瓜灣庇利街/榮光街發展項目 (首個以「小區規劃」批出的重建項目) 的每呎樓面地價約11,414元，高出逾10%。

嘉里發展香港區總經理湯耀宗表示，集團非常榮幸投得上述項目。集團早於2005年與市建局合作發展西營盤縉城峰，而是次中標的項目位處九龍市區核心地段，集團將運用建構高端住宅及與市區重建局合作的經驗，強化項目的規劃設計及商業部分的資產管理，並在設計、營造及資產管理持續引入可持續發展元素，預料項目將可進一步加強集團於香港的發展優勢。

估計推售呎價約2.47萬

假設每平方呎建築成本約5,000元，連地價及10%發水樓面計，預料項目的總投資額約80.29億元。而若加上兩成利潤及8成實用率計算，估計項目日後推售時實用呎價約2.47萬元。

有測量師指，項目規模較大，設計可塑性較高，並發展以中小型單位為主。

項目佔地約4.9萬平方呎，總樓面約44萬平方呎，可提供750伙。於截標前，市場估值約48.8億至60億元，每呎樓面地價約1.1萬至1.35萬元，反映成交價屬市場預期之內。

富藝斯拍賣行總部搬遷 租西九管理局大樓4.8萬呎

文化區內 首宗辦公室租賃

國際拍賣行富藝斯 (Phillips) 現時租用中環聖佐治大廈，昨日該公司宣布，將於2022年秋季將亞洲區總部遷址位於西九文化區西九文化區管理局大樓，將租用6層、合共逾4.8萬平方呎樓面，包括地面三層商業及零售空間、頂樓兩層展廳及拍賣場，以及一層辦公室空間。

周邊最指標商廈為環球貿易廣場 (ICC) 今年呎租介乎85至92元水平，屬於九龍區指標水平，至於鄰近尖沙咀海港城一帶，今年初騰訊 (00700) 則以呎租55元，租用港威大廈五座高層1萬平方呎樓面。

據富藝斯指，其中頂樓擁有14米高、坐擁維港海景的落地窗。富藝斯行政主席愛德華•杜爾曼 (Edward Dolman) 表示，計劃鞏固富藝斯在亞洲拍賣市場的地位。西九文化區管理局行政總裁馮程淑儀指，願景是為香港和世界打造一個多姿多彩的新文化地帶。

宏安4.2億統一牛頭角舊樓 每呎樓面9060元 重建商住項目

近年本港土地供應短缺，市區舊樓具重建價值，不少財團透過併購舊樓，以增加土地儲備；最新宏安併購的牛頭角定業街12至26號舊樓，消息人士指，該項目以約4.2億成功統一業權發展，每方呎樓面收購價約9060元，料日後將重建成商住項目。

市區優質地皮罕有，近年吸引各路發展商於牛頭角一帶舊樓「插旗」發展，最新宏安亦積極拓展牛頭角一帶版圖發展，該公司併購多年的定業街12至26號舊樓，消息人士指，上述項目已成功併購100%業權發展，涉及總金額約4.2億，若以可建總樓面約46359方呎計，每方呎樓面地價約9060元。安宏回覆本報查詢時指，確認上述項目為該公司的併購項目。

可建樓面逾4.6萬呎

有代理表示，上述定業街12至26號舊樓由港置該行併購，近期已完成併購，他認為，該項目鄰近港鐵站，極具重建價值，而且該盤鄰近將來亦有不少重建項目，未來區內將展現全新面貌，是一個全新住宅區。

上述舊樓位於定業街12至26號，涉及多幢樓高5層的商住舊樓，地下為商鋪、樓上則為住宅樓層。上述舊樓早於1972年至1978年之間落成，至今樓齡超過43年。該舊樓群毗鄰觀塘道休憩處，鄰近港鐵牛頭角站，步行前往約6分鐘。整個項目地盤面積約5151方呎，若以重建地積比9倍重建發展，可建總樓面約46359方呎。

距港鐵站數分鐘步程

事實上，除上述項目外，周邊不少舊樓亦獲發展商收購，如萬科香港今年9月申請強制拍賣的定富街45至47號華發樓、49至51號安賢樓、53至63號定勝樓3幢舊樓；據土地審裁處文件顯示，目前萬科已集齊約91.67%至93.75%的業權，餘下5個單位並未成功收購，市場對整個項目估值約3.59229251億。

上述舊樓位於定富街45至63號 (單號)，現址為3幢樓高6層的商住舊樓，分別為45至47號華發樓、49至51號安賢樓、53至63號定勝樓，地下約有10個商鋪，樓上則為住宅樓層，共提供50個住宅單位；上述舊樓早於1971年至1972年之間落成，至今樓齡逾50年。有業內人士指出，不少發展商面對奪地難問題，故吸引財團加入併購舊樓行列，在經濟逐步復甦下，部分發展商更加快收購步伐。

荃灣全幢商住樓1.2億沽

儘管變種病毒來勢洶洶，惟民生區物業仍受捧，再錄大手成交，消息指，荃灣兆和街全幢商住樓以約1.2億易手，呎價約1.85萬，料買家享回報約2.35厘。

綜合市場消息指出，荃灣兆和街31及33號全幢，總樓面約6486方呎，以約1.2億易手，呎價約18501元。據知情人士透露，該鋪現時由按摩店及批發公司以約23.5萬承租，料買家享回報約2.35厘。

平均呎價1.85萬

有代理指出，上述鋪位具合併重建價值，成交價屬合理水平，儘管踏入年尾，惟本港疫情走勢平穩，帶動近期鋪位市場頻錄大手成交，鋪位市況受零售市道影響，若中港兩地通關，料明年首季鋪位租金穩步上揚。

盛滙基金創辦人李根興評論指，上述鋪位人流量不俗，加上門面闊近400呎，於日後亦具博收購潛力，但該物業為住宅契，對投資者吸引力稍遜，成交價屬市價水平。

柯士甸道地鋪5800萬沽

另外，消息指，佐敦柯士甸道55至73號幸運大廈地下鋪，面積約1020方呎，以約5800萬售出，呎價約56863元，據悉，該鋪由食肆以13萬租用，料買家享租金回報約2.69厘。據悉，原業主於1996年9月以1261萬買入，持貨25年帳面獲利4539萬，物業期間升值約3.6倍。

東傲新錄成交呎價9600元

疫市下工廈「硬淨」，市場頻錄成交，由麒豐資本與傅老榕家族旗下廣興置業集團合作發展的新蒲崗工廈東傲新錄成交，為中層單位02室，面積約738方呎，成交價約708.5萬，呎價約9600元。

洪英偉早前表示，對銷情感滿意，項目為區內於過去15年以來首個全新工廈拆售項目。對於新變種病毒Omicron來勢洶洶，洪氏認為，疫情走勢難以預測，惟中港兩地有機會通關，屆時將對工商市場帶來刺激作用。

嘉力每呎6194元市價沽

工廈市場頻錄成交，綜合市場消息指出，荃灣嘉力工業中心A座低層2室，面積約1017方呎，以約630萬售出，呎價約6194元，業內人士指出，上述成交價貼近市價。

Kerry ends 16-year URA drought with $5.5b win

Kerry Properties (0683) has won the bid for the Urban Renewal Authority's Hung Fook Street/Ngan Hon Street development project in To Kwa Wan for HK$5.59 billion, beating seven other competitors.

That is also the first time that Kerry has won a URA project since 2005.

The project covers a site area of 4,581 square meters and will provide a maximum total gross floor area of 41,229 square meters upon completion.

The successful developer will be required to construct the development in compliance with the requirements of the master design control of To Kwa Wan as set out in the agreement of the project to create synergy with adjoining development projects of the URA,

The project will also enhance the livability of the district by adopting place-making and smart initiatives.

Separately, The Wharf (0004) has paid HK$700 million together with four sites totaling 190,000 sq ft in Tung Chung to Ebenezer School in exchange for the redevelopment of the current site of the school at Pok Fu Lam, local media said.

The developer plans to build a luxury residential project with sea views, whose market value is expected to be as high as HK$10 billion, the report said.

In other news, The Yoho Hub project atop Yuen Long MTR Station unveiled the first batch of 206 units with an average price of HK$19,899 after discounts, the highest among new projects in Yuen Long.

Ranging from 325 sq ft to 1,036 sq ft, the batch provides one-bedroom units to four-bedroom units.

The cheapest flat is priced at HK$6.85 million after discounts, or at HK$21,082 per sq ft, the developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said.

Meanwhile, the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate is expected to stay below 0.4 percent while the mortgage interest rate is to reach 1.7 percent as the greenback is turning strong, a mortgage broker said.

That came as investment house Morgan Stanley expected Hong Kong property prices to fall 2 percent year-on-year next year and the volume of transactions to drop by 5 percent to 15 percent.

Hong Kong’s home prices to fall in 2022 as stock market slump creates ‘negative wealth effect’, Morgan Stanley says, marking a halt in city’s decade-long real estate bull run

Morgan Stanley expects Hong Kong’s 2022 home prices to fall by 2 per cent, going against the market’s consensus of gains between 3 and 10 per cent

Sales volume of lived-in homes may contract by 15 per cent next year, in a drastic retreat from the 29 per cent surge in the first 11 months of this year, the bank said

The prices of Hong Kong’s lived-in homes may decline in 2022, reversing 13 years of gains, as a plunge in the stock market has created a “negative wealth effect” on investors and speculators, Morgan Stanley said.

Overall prices may fall by 2 per cent next year, the US bank’s equity analyst Praveen Choudhary wrote in a December 15 report, going against the market’s consensus for prices to gain by between 3 per cent and up to 10 per cent.

Sales volume of lived-in homes may contract by 15 per cent next year in the secondary market, in a drastic retreat from the 29 per cent surge in the first 11 months of this year, he said. Transactions of newly built homes may shrink by 5 per cent next year, compared with the 24-per cent growth so far this year.

The contrarian forecast was the result of the 18 per cent slump in the Hang Seng stock benchmark since July 1 – the world’s second-biggest loser this year – that “suggests a negative wealth effect which has historically resulted in a decline in property prices,” he wrote.

There are signs that home prices in Hong Kong, the world’s most expensive major urban centre to live in for the 10th straight year in 2019, may have reached a turning point. Second-hand home prices fell by 0.86 per cent in October from a peak in August, the biggest monthly decline in 14 months as the city’s commercial banks turned cautious on valuations.

As a result, property-related stocks may perform worse than even the Hang Seng Index (HSI) in 2022, Morgan Stanley said, downgrading its view on the sector to “cautious” from “attractive.”

“The recent decline in the HSI generally should be followed by property sector underperformance due to a negative wealth effect, based on historical data,” he wrote. “We expect the HK property stock index to underperform the Hang Seng Index in 2022.”

Rising interest rates will also act as the brake on rising home prices, as Hong Kong’s monetary policy runs in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve, which has foreshadowed three rate increases of 25 basis points each in 2022, to be followed by three increases in 2023 and two in 2024.

Still, Hong Kong’s commercial banks are unlikely to raise their mortgage rates immediately after rising interest rates, a mortgage broker said. The market also knows how to adjust to keep pace, as shown by the 16 per cent discounts on lived-in flats offered after Hong Kong’s banks raised their lending rates in September 2018 by 12.5 percentage points.

“Banks in Hong Kong may increase their prime rates in the second half of 2022 only if US inflation rises at a faster-than- expected pace,” the mortgage broker said.

Contrary to Morgan Stanley’s forecast of doom, property analysts and consultants remain bullish.

A property agency has forecast a 3 per cent increase in home prices next year for Hong Kong, while another agency sees growth of up to 5 per cent, and the agencies projected prices to increase by between 5 and 10 per cent.

The positive outlook in 2022 is due to limited supply of homes, Hong Kong’s improving economy and the expectation that a reopening of the city’s border with mainland China would give transactions – and therefore prices – a leg up.

Underscoring the bullishness, Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), the city’s largest developer by market value, released the first 206 units of The Yoho Hub residential project above the Yuen Long subway station at an average price of HK$19,889 per square foot, a record launch price for the neighbourhood.

“While supply remains limited, potential new regulations on that front are unknown and can only be negative,” Morgan Stanley said. “Extra demand could come from the HK/China border opening, but it only affects 10 per cent of the volume at the high-end.”

疫情期間不少公司採靈活辦公策略，跨國共享空間營運商IWG集團認為，疫情後靈活辦公空間更見普遍，機構亦開始採納混合模式，市場尚有很大增長空間，並指在家工作不會取代傳統辦公室。

IWG集團旗下的靈活辦公室，包括Spaces、Regus及Signature，主要為共享空間，除了提供流動辦公桌外，亦有獨立房間，辦公桌月租由數千元起。

疫情持續2年，商廈需求受封關衝擊，整體甲廈空置率上升。不過，IWG集團香港區域經理Paul MacAndrew指，靈活辦公空間需求卻有上升，如集團旗下出租率，也有明顯增長。他分析，「其實在疫情前，靈活辦公概念已漸流行。疫情出現後，即明顯加速相關的需求。」

在家工作 難取代傳統辦公室

在去年疫情高峰期，不少公司採在家工作政策，或靈活辦公的做法，例如把公司員工分成兩隊，一半在家工作，另一半返回辦公室。今年疫情緩和，Paul指出，機構續使用靈活辦公，「疫情後，靈活辦公的概念更加流行，例如一間公司，不是所有員工需在總部辦公室工作，亦非每星期5日均返公司，准許在家工作。」他認為這是大勢所趨，「機構不得不考慮作出變革，因為員工亦喜歡這種模式。」

事實上，早前IWG英國研究指出絕大部分的英國員工（72%），均傾向選擇長期靈活工作，多於加薪1成但需長駐辦公室，反映疫情為員工對辦公室的取態，帶來結構轉變。此外，三分之二的員工更不會應徵沒有提供混合工作模式的職位。

Paul強調，在家工作未能如此代替傳統辦公室，特別香港背景較為困難，「香港不像外國，家居面積大又有花園，香港居住環境細，難以完全在家工作。相信傳統寫字樓絕不會被取代，機構始終需要總部，接見客人。不過，租用面積可能會縮細。」

在IWG共享空間內，會員可租用辦公桌（Hot Desk），另外亦有獨立房間計劃等，而所有會員均可享辦公室內的設施包括茶水間、會議室等。他指，共享空間正是勝在靈活，「租約可以較短，可節省很多裝修費。」

海濱匯佔地逾5萬呎 650辦公位

IWG集團近兩年積極擴充，更於東九龍設首個辦公點。集團租用觀塘海濱匯樓面，旗下Signature佔地超過50,000平方呎，提供超過650個辦公位置及供1至150人使用的私人辦公室，開業已數月。Paul指，東九龍前景不錯，「東九龍為第二核心商業區，現時交通、餐飲配套等理想，甚有吸引力。」他透露，現時旗下東九龍租用的行業涉及IT、時裝、人力資源等，甚為廣泛。

至於傳統的商業區方面，集團早在去年租用銅鑼灣希慎廣場，以及尖沙咀港威中心，今年續活躍擴充，於尖沙沮港威大廈為Signature增添1層樓面，新設商務休息廳及多個私人辦公室。該中心現佔地3層，提供共75,000呎樓面，為本港最大的Signature空間。另外，集團續強攻銅鑼灣區，數月前接手WeWork，租用銅鑼灣 Tower 535 的11及12樓，開設Spaces在港的第6個中心，新址總面積達23,400平方呎，計劃於下月開業，屆時可提供超過300多個辦公位置及供1至60人使用的私人辦公室。

看好經濟前景 「甲廈需求總會回來」

疫情衝擊甲廈需求，呂幹威相信，營商人士對本港及內地經濟前景有信心，故甲廈需求總會回來。

疫情期間甲廈需求轉弱，租金下跌及空置率上升，希慎為銅鑼灣大地主，持有大批甲級商廈。呂幹威指，集團旗下商廈整體出租率仍理想，疫情期間波幅不算高。後市上，他認為壓力仍有，「畢竟環球經濟存不確定因素，機構會採保守態度。不過，我認為大型機構對中國經濟長遠有信心，故寫字樓租務需求總會回來，只是暫時抑制。」供應方面，未來兩年踏入甲廈供應高峰，他表示核心商業區供應不多，壓力較細。

集團對商業後市甚看好，今年夥華懋以197.8億奪銅鑼灣利園山道商業地王。呂幹威指出，「地皮規模大，在銅鑼灣商業成熟的地區，能夠擴大3成業務，是非常難得，故值得購入。」

迎潮流 與共享空間機構合作

傳統寫字樓面對另一挑戰，就是近年靈活辦公室出現。他指，「情況有如當年網購出現，對傳統購物商店造成衝犛。現考驗各大業主如何調整寫字樓這項產品，去適應新需求。」事實上，希慎早前亦與共享空間機構合作，開拓靈活辦公市場，正是迎合新潮流，「辦公生態改變，不一定要留在公司工作，或有固定辦公地方，年輕一代亦喜歡舒適而自由度較高的工作環境，故我們把靈活辦公室結合現有寫字樓，可增強物業的吸引力。」

Property market shrugs off rate hike fears

Hong Kong's primary residential market seems not to have been affected by an expected interest rate hike, with new projects booking over one hundred transactions over the weekend.

Another 50 flats at Caine Hill in Sheung Wan are now being offered by Henderson Land Development (0012) after the 50 homes in the first batch were sold within three hours after its launch on Saturday.

The second batch, is priced at HK$29,630 per sq ft after discounts, about 3 percent higher than the first one, and includes 13 studio flats and 37 one-bedroom flats ranging from 190 sq ft to 285 sq ft.

Henderson said 28 of 50 flats worth over HK$209 million in total will hit the market on Thursday.

In Ngau Tau Kok, The Aperture saw at least 42 out of 130 flats available in the second round of sales sold over the weekend with the developer Hang Lung Properties (0101) raking in HK$358 million.

In Tseung Kwan O, Kowloon Development (0034) has booked nearly HK$2.9 billion in revenue after more than 64 transactions at Manor Hill were recorded on Saturday.

The secondary market was quiet, in contrast.

Only nine deals in a property agency’s top ten blue chip estates were logged over the weekend, down by 2 deals or 18.2 percent from last week to a seven-week low.

Agent said that the decline was due to first-hand residential projects snatching a lot of second-hand property customers, coupled with the recent volatility in the stock market and the negative news about mainland developers.

With the new variant of the coronavirus still under control, the agent expects that property transactions would surge significantly once the border between the mainland and the city officially reopen.

Separately, two more homes at The Henley III in Kai Tak were sold for HK$6.08 million and HK$5.95 million, respectively.

West Kowloon district emerging as new darling of Hong Kong-based multinational tenants

The area is set to see new office buildings open in the next few years, including the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) Tower

Auction house Phillips has signed a deal to rent the main floors of the WKCDA Tower, next to the M+ art museum

The West Kowloon district is likely to become an important commercial district in Hong Kong in the coming years, as new office space comes onto the market, according to analysts.

“The Kowloon station precinct serves as an extension to the core Tsim Sha Tsui office submarket but currently has only limited amount of office space, so it isn’t seen as a stand-alone office submarket for the time being,” said property agent said.

However, “the future offices and generous open space to be built within the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) Tower will help strengthen the commercial atmosphere of the area and gradually build up the appeal of the Kowloon station precinct as a preferred office district”, the agent said.

The area is expected to attract financial companies and mainland enterprises upon the completion of the 16-storey WKCDA Tower, as well as a planned twin tower development with 2.6 million sq ft of office space and 603,000 sq ft of retail space atop the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL) terminus, set to open between 2025 and 2026, the agent said.

The XRL terminus, the only station in Hong Kong linked to the wider high-speed railway network in China, as well as the Kowloon station, which connects to the Hong Kong International Airport via the Airport Express, are some of West Kowloon’s biggest draws. The XRL’s West Kowloon station is a seven-minute drive from the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and a 15-minute ride to Shenzhen.

At the moment, however, the ICC – the tallest building in Hong Kong and home to the outposts of several major Chinese and multinational financial institutions – is the only office block in proximity.

One company that is taking advantage of the rapidly developing area is Russian-owned auction house Phillips. It has signed on to rent a 48,000 sq ft space occupying the main floors of the WKCDA Tower to house its new Asian headquarters, which is eight times bigger than its current space at St. George’s Building, according to Ingrid Hsu, public relations director for Asia at Phillips.

West Kowloon’s transport links and the opening this month of the M+ museum of contemporary art and design are some of the reasons behind Phillips’ decision to relocate to the area.

“Being located at the heart of the West Kowloon Cultural District will allow Phillips to work alongside M+, the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the wider district on complementary programming and events, further enhancing the area as a world-class global destination for arts and culture,” Hsu said.

Cheaper rents in the area compared to on Hong Kong Island are also likely to entice potential tenants. In November, office rents in Tsim Sha Tsui ranged between HK$41 (US$5.25) and HK$94 per square feet, while those on Hong Kong Island cost between HK$56 and HK$152 per square feet, according to another angency.

疫情穩定，市場亦憧憬市況逐步改善，惟核心區甲廈租金持續下滑。消息指，金鐘統一中心高層於交吉約一年半後，以每呎32元租出，較舊租金急挫約24%，並創該甲廈過去8年以來新低。

市場消息指出，金鐘統一中心高層單位A03室，面積4382方呎，以每呎約32元租出，月租約140224元，低市價約15%；據地產代理指出，上址為海景優質戶，市值租金約38元，上址舊租金則為每呎42元，惟上一手租戶於去年7月遷出，單位交吉至今達18個月後再租出，租金急挫約23.8%。

低市價15%

據代理行資料顯示，該甲廈近期頻錄租賃，該甲廈今年以來呎租介乎35元至50元，該廈高層C室，面積3000方呎，以本月以11.7萬租出，平均呎租約39元；另一宗為中層B02室，面積2500方呎，於上月以8.75萬租出，呎租約35元；若該廈呎租低見每呎32元，需追溯至2013年10月，當時該廈高層26B至C2室，面積約8792方呎，以每呎約32元租出，月租約28萬元。

業界：空置率高企

至於買賣方面，該甲廈近期矚目成交為由宏安地產持有的高層全層，於今年8月以5.15億易手，以面積約20488方呎計，呎價約25135元，該全層現時月租約114.7萬，租期至2023年，料買家可享回報約2.7厘。據了解，買家為許大絢及梁先杰。原業主於2016年以5.12億購入，持貨約5年帳面僅獲利約277.5萬。

另一代理評論指，據該行統計資料顯示，金鐘區內甲廈空置率仍高達9%，實屬偏高水平，加上受疫情等因素打擊，部分企業紛削減租金成本以求存，造成甲廈租金持續受壓，況且上址已交吉一段時間，加上踏入年尾，市場氣氛轉趨淡靜，令上述單位以低市價租出。

代理表示，隨着疫情走勢持續平穩，現今甲廈空置率逐步改善，惟整體租金表現仍備受壓力，踏入年尾，部分業主希望於農曆新年前將單位租用，令議價空間逐步擴闊，故近期甲廈租金均見折讓。

百利保申強拍青山道舊樓

百利保併購的長沙灣青山道291至293號 (單號) 舊樓，新近向土地審裁處申請強拍，據土地審裁處文件顯示，是次申請強拍的財團持有青山道291號全數100%業權，而293號則持有64%業權，整體平均持有82%業權，目前餘下2個單位並未成功收購，包括一個地鋪及2樓一個住宅單位，其中地鋪市場估值約3982萬，而住宅單位估值約809萬；市場對上述整個項目估值約1.3944億。

市場估值逾1.3億

地盤面積約2880方呎，若以地積比率9倍重建發展，可建總樓面約25920方呎。現址為一幢樓高5層的商住舊樓，設兩條公用樓梯，早於1955年落成，至今樓齡約66年。項目位置鄰近元州商場，距離港鐵長沙灣站約8分鐘步程，具重建價值。

資料顯示，百利保早年亦已併購上述舊樓毗鄰的青山道301及303號一幢弧形戰前唐樓，屬二級歷史建築，若青山道291、293、301及303號合併發展，地盤面積擴展至約5260方呎，可建總樓面約47340方呎。

由同一財團申請強拍的西營盤兩個舊樓項目，獲土地審裁處頒下強拍令，涉及總金額約7.48億；其中西營盤水街8、8A、10、10A號及第三街155號舊樓，強拍底價為3.68億，對比20年7月申請強拍時市場估值約1.782億，高出約1.1倍。

西營盤兩舊樓批強拍令

項目毗鄰的第三街第145、147及149號舊樓，亦獲該處頒下強拍令，底價為3.8億，對比2020年7月申請強拍時市場估值約1.5551億，高出1.4倍。

此外，上月底獲批強拍令的九龍城衙前塱道3至13號舊樓，申請人對該舊樓的安老院部分的估值部分提出上訴，最新土地審裁處頒下判決書，駁回上述申請。

舊樓申強拍今年暫16宗 4年最少

樓價破頂收購難 業界料寬門檻加快重建

隨着今年樓價破頂，舊樓收購成本上漲，難度亦增加。本報統計今年土地審裁處至今僅錄得16宗申請，較去年減少逾5成，屬於2017年後近4年新低，申請強拍的並以中小型發展商為主，改變大財團主導情況。業界認為，放寬強拍門檻有望加快市區重建，以增加供應。

有測量師指出，如強拍門檻落實放寬至7成，初步預計每年強拍申請會重返30多宗水平。該測量師亦預計，受近期內房風波影響，中資會減慢來港收購舊樓步伐，本地發展商依然會主導收購市場。

土地審裁處2021年 (截至12月21日止)，共錄得16宗強拍申請，相較去年全年的35宗，按年減少19宗，減幅54%，屬於2017年錄得15宗之後、近4年最少，亦低於過去10年平均每年約31宗水平。

在今年接獲申請的16宗申請，大約一半屬於8成業權的強拍申請，其餘屬於9成業權申請，而現時政府則正研究進一步降強拍申請門檻至7成或75%，反映大型項目的收購重建日益困難。

青山道舊樓 百利保申強拍

而最新一宗申請則為百利保 (00617) 收購的長沙灣青山道291至293號 (單號) 舊樓。集團申請強拍，項目估值逾1.39億元。

根據文件顯示，財團已經持有青山道291號的全數業權，並就293號項目持有64%業權，即整體平均持有82%業權，現尚餘2伙未收購。上述舊樓佔地約2,880平方呎，如以地積比率9倍重建發展，可建總樓面約25,920平方呎。

值得留意的是，比鄰屬於二級歷史建築的青山道301至303號的弧形轉角戰前唐樓，近年同樣獲百利保收購。發展商指，集團仍正就涉及的保育問題，與政府商討設計等事宜，並暫未決定會否連同291至293號發展，惟初步計劃就291至293號 (單號) 舊樓重建為中小型單位。

百利保執行董事兼首席營運官范統指，對集團而言，目前的強拍門檻對完成強拍並不容易，因很多業主難以尋回或出現單位丟空狀況。他認為，若政府降低強拍門檻至7成，一定可以提高強拍申請宗數，惟強調依然要平衡小業主的權益。

多涉中小發展商 大財團減

過往大型發展商財力豐厚，一般是舊樓收購及強拍的主要參與者，不過今年情況大為不同，當中今年內就多個西半山羅便臣道重建地盤完成強拍的恒地 (00012)，今年卻只有何文田自由道4號申請強拍，只涉約4.4萬平方呎樓面。

反而，其他申請強拍重建的則以中小型發展商為主，其中中資萬科香港，年內先後就長沙灣海壇街及觀塘定富街兩個地盤申請強拍，涉及近9萬平方呎樓面，其餘申請強拍的還有深圳投石智庫或相關人士、資深投資者羅守弘、盧華等。

工商舖受惠通關 2022年料三連升

新冠肺炎疫情緩和，刺激今年工商舖價量齊升，隨着中港兩地快將通關的消息帶動，有代理行預期，受惠多項利好政策，2022年工商舖市場將迎來三連升勢頭，全年交投量約7500宗，較今年多12.1%；總值約1550億元，按年增長9.4%。

代理表示，工商舖市場氣氛持續升溫，最關鍵的通關因素亦可望在明年初落實，屆時中外企業要員可自由往來本港，加快吸納優質物業及落實交易；同時，《施政報告》公布多項政策都對工商舖有正面作用，看好工商舖物業潛力。

該代理指出，北部都會區效應將延續至明年，預料明年工廈及舖位市場受惠最大，特別是新界北等地的工廈。至於舖位市場，估計新界區及非核心區可跑贏大市。

資料顯示，該項目樓高24層，全層建築面積由1萬至1.5萬方呎，共提供193個單位，面積約700至2900方呎，預計明年下半年落成。上址前身為美華工廠大廈，麒豐資本在2018年8月向興勝創建以12.5億購入，每呎樓面地價約7000元，創當時九龍東工廈地價新高。

同區新時代工貿商業中心中層1至4室，面積約5158方呎，以約3600萬售出，呎價約6979元； 另外，觀塘泉源工業大廈亦錄買賣個案，消息指，該工廈低層B室，面積約7272方呎，以約3450萬售出，呎價約4744元。

灣仔呂祺教育中心 申重建住宅

地政總署近日就位於灣仔皇后大道東269號、現為呂祺教育服務中心的政府用地，向城規會申請重建作住宅及商業發展，及略為放寬住用地積比率及建築物高度限制，以發展1幢31層高 (包括2層地庫及2層平台) 的綜合大樓，提供191伙住宅。

根據文件顯示，該地盤比鄰慧賢軒、灣仔分科診所，並面向香港賽馬會花園，佔地約13,207平方呎，現劃為「住宅 (戊類)」用地。申請人現擬將最高地積比率提高至8.8倍，當中住用地積比率由6.5倍增加20%至7.8倍，而非住宅地積比率則為1倍，合共涉及總樓面約11.62萬平方呎。申請人亦計劃把建築物高度限制由100米 (主水平基準上，下同) 提高10%至110米。

供應191伙 平均面積約538呎

文件亦顯示，項目的第4至28層為住宅部分，供應191伙住宅，單位平均面積約538平方呎。

事實上，這幅用地在多年前曾經獲納入賣地計劃之中，其後因受司法覆核影響被剔出賣地表，惟近年再納入賣地表內，本來亦計劃在本財年上半年出售。

鄰近西鐵朗屏站的東頭工業區，佔地約200萬平方呎，早在10年前，屬於規劃署建議改劃成住宅發展的7個工業區之一，過去政府透過賣地及興建居屋，先後興建居屋宏富苑，另外批出的限量地則建成新盤映御。

最新則有由星星地產持有的宏業西街21號項目，則將會重建成1幢24層綜合商住樓宇，可建樓面約18.2萬平方呎，將提供約335伙中小型單位，主要提供實用面積約330平方呎的1房戶，佔全盤單位數目一半，實用面積220至250平方呎的開放式戶佔1成，餘下單位則為兩房戶及3房戶。

發展商早前則獲地政總署批出8.18億元補地價，將地契「工轉住，以最高可建樓面約17萬平方呎，每呎樓面補地價約4,800元，連同發展商在2016年以3.4億元購入該地盤的成本，總地價則近11.58億元，每呎樓面地價達逾6,800元。

麗新元朗中心擬建住宅

上述個案有望成為，同區其他工廈重建的先例，例如資本策略 (00497) 及麗新發展 (00488) 購入的麗新元朗中心，現址為兩幢10層高工廈，由發展商在2018年以逾14億元購入，亦計劃重建成2幢住宅大樓，總地積比率5.22倍，可建樓面約39.1萬平方呎，將會提供約828個單位。

事實上，政府推出工廈補地價的「標準金額」先導計劃，容許發展商按照政府公布的「明碼實價」進行補地價，令重建的確定性增加。

按照當中政府公布，元朗區所屬的「新界北」分區，如果屬於「工轉商」補地價大約為每平方呎約929元，而「工轉住」補地價則大約每平方呎約3,252元，金額維持兩年不變。

至於同時，信置 (00083) 於2015年以約16.9億元投得宏業西街及康樂街交界商用地，則會興建15層高商業大樓，涉及樓面約49.8萬平方呎，有75%樓面作為寫字樓用途，其餘25%的樓面則作為零售商舖。

New homes snapped up across three projects

Wheelock Properties said it has sold 200 flats at Koko Hills in Lam Tin, raking in HK$2.39 billion.

There are around 80 flats for sale in the current price list and the project is expected to get its occupation permit approved in the near future, managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu said, adding that the project will be delivered in September next year as scheduled.

Elsewhere, another batch of the Yoho Hub atop the Yuen Long Station involving at least 106 units is expected to be released soon, the developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said.

The homebuilder has received over 2,200 checks for 317 flats in the first two price lists and the first round of sales could start as early as Sunday, the day after Christmas.

In Yuen Long's Hung Shui Kiu, all 290 homes in price lists at #Lyos have been sold at a top price of HK$19,605 per square foot after discounts, said the developer CK Asset (1113). Together with 16 sold penthouses, the developer has cashed in HK$1.7 billion from the project.

And in Tseung Kwan O, Kowloon Development (0034) has booked over HK$2.9 billion in revenue after recording 484 transactions at Manor Hill at an average per sq ft price of around HK$22,000.

Hong Kong Housing Authority to offer smallest flats ever at 186 sq ft – about 1½ parking space – in next batch of subsidised homes

Some of the flats are set to be as small as 186 sq ft, with 30 per cent measuring less than 322 sq ft

Francis Lam Ka-fai, vice-president of the Institute of Surveyors and its spokesman on housing policy, says the units are so small that they have ‘become a joke’

Tiny flats will make up a bigger part of next year’s batch of subsidised homes to be sold by Hong Kong’s Housing Authority, with some set to be as small as 186 sq ft – the equivalent of 1½ car parking spaces and the tiniest to be offered since the start of the Home Ownership Scheme in 1978.

The 320 small units, located in a development at the site of the former airport at Kai Tak, will be among the 8,926 subsidised flats to hit the market in the first quarter of next year, according to a source close to the Housing Authority.

About 30 per cent of the new batch will be smaller than 322 sq ft, the source said. Such flats are increasingly making up a bigger portion of the authority’s supply, accounting for 22 per cent in 2020 and 15 per cent in 2019.

The Home Ownership Scheme is designed to enable low- to middle-income households to buy affordable flats.

Francis Lam Ka-fai, vice-president of the Institute of Surveyors and its spokesman on housing policy, said he supported the generous discounts on the units, but slammed the tiny flats on offer in the new batch, saying they had “become a joke”.

“That’s really undesirable. Why did [the authority] go for such small units? I don’t know what their rationale is,” he said. “In terms of the design, [anything] less than 200 sq ft is really undesirable for anybody.”

The 2022 batch of flats will be located in seven mostly urban areas: Kai Tak, North Point, Ma Tau Kok, Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O, Sha Tin and Tung Chung.

Ranging from 186 sq ft to 479 sq ft, they will be sold at 49 per cent less than the market value, or between HK$1.24 million and HK$5.31 million (US$158,900 to US$680,600).

The 186 sq ft units at Kai Tak, priced at HK$8,530 per square foot, are going for HK$1.59 million. A list on the authority’s website of flat sizes at all past Home Ownership Scheme projects indicates the Kai Tak units will be the smallest.

But the authority on Tuesday said the figures for the new flats were just provisional, and the exact prices and flat sizes were subject to adjustment as building floor plans were yet to be finalised. A paper on the pricing and sales arrangement has been sent to the authority’s subsidised housing committee for approval.

The Post reported in November that the authority was planning to build smaller flats in coming projects as it was under pressure to meet the government’s housing target.

In Hong Kong, the world’s most expensive property market, private developers have increasingly taken to building shoebox homes known as “nano flats” in a bid to attract buyers who cannot afford bigger ones.

The government has acknowledged that such cramped living spaces were a “pain point for society”, with officials pledging to increase the size of public housing units by 10 or 20 per cent in the long run, and to establish a minimum flat size for the private sector.

Asked about the shrinking flats, Cleresa Wong Pie-yue, chair of the authority’s subsidised housing committee, said some buyers were singles living on their own, and might prefer to live in a smaller space within their budget.

Wong said she supported the idea of a minimum size for flats in the long run, but declined to offer a starting point, adding the ideal size depended on practical considerations like housing supply and affordability.

“A four-person family may perhaps consider looking at flats bigger than 400 sq ft,” she said.

Family applicants are given priority over singles in the allocation of Home Ownership Scheme flats, though 10 per cent of the units are reserved for the latter.

Households of two or more people must earn no more than HK$69,740 a month and own assets worth less than HK$1.85 million to be eligible for the scheme, while singles must have a salary of no more than HK$34,730 and assets worth no more than HK$925,000.

Meanwhile, to curb speculation in the Home Ownership Scheme, the Authority intends to make future buyers wait longer before reselling their flats. The plan is to require owners to wait for five years, rather than two, before they can sell their units on the scheme’s secondary market, where buyers are either tenants of public rental housing or those on the waiting list for such homes.

If owners want to resell on the free market, they would have to wait 15 years, up from 10.

The authority will also offer another 4,700 units under the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme, which is exclusively for public housing tenants or those close to getting an offer. Located in Fanling, Yau Tong and Ma On Shan, those units will sell for 41 per cent of their market price.

受疫情等因素打擊，甲廈市場陰霾密布，租金備受壓力。消息指，金鐘力寶中心一座高層單位交吉近兩年後，以每呎約49元租出，低市價約7%，較舊租金急挫約28%。

市場消息指出，金鐘力寶中心一座高層04至05室，面積3763方呎，以每呎約49元租出，月租約184387元，低市價約7%；據地產代理指出，上址自去年1月交吉至今，舊租金為每呎68元，故租金急挫約28%。

交吉近兩年始租出

據代理行資料顯示，該甲廈近期頻錄成交，其中，該甲廈一座低層2室，面積約2466方呎，於今年11月以118368元租出，平均呎租約48元。

該行代理表示，隨着疫情走勢持續平穩，現今甲廈空置率逐步改善，惟整體租金表現仍備受壓力，踏入年尾，部分業主希望於農曆新年前將單位租用，令議價空間逐步擴闊，故近期甲廈租金均見折讓。

信德中心招商局大廈每呎50元承租

上環信德中心招商局大廈亦錄承租個案，消息指，該甲廈中層12室，面積948方呎，以47400元租出，平均呎租約50元；據代理指，上址外望側海景，屬優質單位，今年5月起交吉至今，舊租每呎50元，故新舊租金相若。

觀塘中海日升中心低層F室，面積1283方呎，以約1430萬售出，呎價11146元；旺角嘉興商業中心中層01室，面積532方呎，以約385萬售出，呎價約7237元。

明年甲廈供應高峰 租金下行添壓

今年甲廈租務稍好轉，租金跌幅收窄，業界人士預計，明年甲廈供應進入高峰期，甲廈租金明年料仍有下行壓力。

受疫情影響，近兩年甲廈租金出現調整，而今年情況稍有好轉。有代理行指，甲級寫字樓租賃市場連續兩季表現回暖，明顯較上半年為佳。2021年第四季吸納量為正185,500平方呎，雖然全年吸納量仍為負578,700平方呎，但較去年全年的負230萬平方呎大為改善。

金融及保險業租賃為主

新租賃成交以金融及保險行業租戶為主，市場份額共達42%。今年大手租務集中東九龍，其中國際貿易中心 (ITT) 租務甚活躍，錄得2宗大租務，物業20及21樓全層，以及19樓半層樓面，合共約10萬平方呎，獲DHL集團租用。其後項目約14.5萬平方呎樓面，獲宏利保險租用。宏利香港宣布，已簽約承租基金太盟投資 (PAG) 旗下ITT約14.5萬平方呎樓面，以面積計，為2019年7月以來最大宗，亦是2018年以來東九龍最大宗租賃個案。宏利原承租觀塘道223號宏利金融中心約38萬平方呎樓面，有計劃放棄部分樓面，轉移至該廈。

中環全年租金跌約4.1%

租金方面，全年各區平均跌幅為4.7%，下跌幅度相比去年的19.3%大為收窄。各區表現上，中環超甲廈呎租為113.7元，全年跌約4.7%，而整體中環租金跌約4.1%，遠較去年為低。今年跌幅最大區域為尖沙咀，達8.8%。

受惠於經濟環境有所改善及下半年吸納量回復正數，整體待租率由第二季的14.4%下調至第四季的13.6%。另外退租面積從今年第一季高位的724,000平方呎，大幅回落至第四季的367,000平方呎，減幅約5成。

代理指，由於2022年將有超過200萬平方呎全新甲級寫字樓供應相繼落成，如港島東的太古坊第二期、九龍東的巧明街98號及啟德站上蓋的Airside，整體待租率預計到明年年底將增加至16%至17%，而整體平均租金將下調1至3%。估計通關因素將帶動經濟好轉，各行業對寫字樓需求將有所增加，全年整體吸納量有望回復至30萬至50萬平方呎。

是次招租物業位處中層，可眺望優美維港海景，加上物業配有豪華全寫字樓裝修及間隔，租客可即租即用，節省開支及裝修時間。

德輔道西1號是一幢上環區的乙級寫字樓，坐落於上環德輔道西1號，屬於分散業權的大廈。目前物業可提供出租及出售，相比同區的商業大廈成交量，該物業的成交不算太頻密。

Burberry前尖咀舖大削38%放租

本港聖誕節前仍未能開放通關，零售消費繼續依靠本地客支撐，英國奢侈品巨頭Burberry亦提早在聖誕節前夕，關閉位於尖沙咀廣東道新港中心的複式巨舖分店，舖位現已每月280萬元重新放租，較原租金大削37.8%。

Burberry的尖沙咀新港中心分店，位處廣東道及海防道交界單邊位置，佔據商場地下G4及G5連1樓104至106及2樓207至209號舖共3層複式，品牌於2011年起租用，建築面積合共約10140方呎。

據了解，舖位現時月租約450萬元，呎租約444元，租約至明年第一季到期。

還原需時 提早數月撤出

不過，近日Burberry已低調結束新港中心分店，未有繼續在聖誕節零售旺季期間營業。據代理指出，由於該品牌承租多層樓面，還原舖位需時，故在租期完結前提早數月遷出。

市場稱，上述巨舖現正以280萬元重新放租，呎租約276元，較目前Burberry月租低170萬元或37.8%。而Burberry於2014年時，曾以每月650萬元續租，創該舖歷史新高，現時叫租較高位挫56.9%。

英皇申請強拍上環舊樓 持有逾85%業權 市場估值逾2.7億

港島區地皮罕有，近年英皇國際密密在區內併購舊樓發展，最新該公司併購的上環皇后大道西70至76號舊樓，新近向土地審裁處申請強拍，以統一業權發展，目前該財團平均持有85.714%業權，市場對整個項目估值逾2.7613億，預期將與毗鄰地盤合併發展，屆時總地盤面積擴展至約5505方呎，涉及可建總樓面約49545方呎。

據土地審裁處文件顯示，是次申請強拍的財團持有皇后大道西70至72號81.818%業權，而74號則持有71.428%業權，至於76號舊樓則持有100%業權，整體平均持有85.714%業權，目前餘下7個單位並未成功收購；市場對上述整個項目估值約2.7613億，若以可建總樓面逾3萬方呎計，涉及每方呎樓面地價約9129元。英皇回覆本報查詢時指，上述舊樓為該集團申請強拍。

可建樓面49545呎

該項目屬於999年期的「千年地契」，無重建限制，地盤面積3361方呎，若以地積比率9倍重建發展，可建總樓面約30249方呎。現址為一排樓高6層的舊樓，分別於1967至1971年之間落成，至今樓齡至少逾50年。上述舊樓毗鄰荷李活道公園及帝后華庭，同時亦鄰近港鐵西營盤站，約5分鐘步程，具有一定重建價值。

尚餘七伙未收購

是次申請強拍的財團為智喜投資公司 (Wise Grace Investment Limited)，登記地址為英皇集團總部。

資料顯示，英皇國際今年7月透過強拍途徑以底價2.59億、成功統一毗鄰的皇后大道西78至80號及荷李活道265至267號舊樓業權。若連同是次申請強拍的地盤合併發展，總地盤面積擴展至約5505方呎，涉及可建總樓面約49545方呎。連同上述最新一宗申請，今年以來土地審裁處暫接獲15宗強拍申請個案，對比去年同期的35宗強拍申請，按年減少20宗，跌幅約57.1%。

項目毗鄰帝后華庭

有業內人士指出，近年本港土地供應短缺，不少發展商面對投地難問題，而且投政府土地的入場門檻漸提高，發展商亦難以競爭，故引部分財團加入併購舊樓行列，唯整體經濟逐步復甦下，樓價穩步上揚，有不少業主不願平價賣樓，故拖慢發展商的併購進度，影響強拍申請數字。

近年英皇國際密密併購舊樓發展，除兩個上環項目外，今年7月底亦以底價1.95億成功摘下筲箕灣仲齊大廈全幢業權。

該代理稱，物業現已全數租出，租期最長至2023年底，當中包括租用十多年的長情租客，現時總月租收入約38.1萬，雖較疫情前近約50萬元租金稍為回落，但按目前租金計算，料買家享租金回報約3厘。

該代理續稱，該項目坐落於桂林街及鴨寮街交界，屬大單邊全幢，而且物業正對港鐵深水埗站出口，人流量不俗，帶動項目租務需求穩健。

正對港鐵站出口

資料顯示，深水埗區內舊樓物業備受財團追捧，早前市場亦錄強拍個案。深水埗醫局街134及136號與138及140號項目，早前進行強拍，底價為3.27億，每口叫價1000萬，結果由手持「8號」牌的新暉投資發展董事朱威澔，在無對手下以底價投得，成功統一業權發展。

Property prices seen surging 10pc in 2022

Hong Kong's two largest local property agencies have forecast that home prices may rise by as much as 10 percent next year, with the Covid pandemic under control and the border between the mainland expected to reopen soon.

One of the agency said that both transactions volumes and value of the primary market next year will surpass the highs seen in 2013.

The number of secondary residential property transactions is expected to hit 60,000, up 27.9 percent from last year and become the highest in nine years, the agency said, adding that the value of these transactions expected to increase nearly 38 percent to HK$520 billion, a 24-year high.

Another agency said that Hong Kong will continue to keep interest rates at a low level in 2022 despite the US signaling three interest rate hikes, which together with the high level of deposits will provide a solid foundation in the property market.

Meanwhile, in the primary market, the Yoho Hub atop Yuen Long MTR Station has released the second price list, which includes 111 units at an average price of HK$21,020 per sq ft after discounts.

The new batch is 5 percent costlier than the previous one as the flats on the list are concentrated in the middle to high floors, the developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said, adding that excluding the floor difference, this batch has the same price as the first one.

The second price list involves one-bedroom to four-bedroom homes with areas ranging from 325 sq ft to 1,036 sq ft. The first round of sales is expected to take place around Christmas.

Two Pavilia Farm blocks will need strengthening

Five percent of samples taken from two Pavilia Farm blocks on top of Tai Wai MTR station have failed to meet the required concrete strength, the Buildings Department said yesterday.

The blocks in question are from the estate's Phase I development, namely Tower 2 and Tower 3.

The project is jointly developed by New World Development (0017) and MTR Corp (0066).

The department said it had called for a proposal for follow-up works for Phase I, and had approved the relevant strengthening works and granted consent for commencement of the works, adding that the work could be completed in a few months.

While the samples failed to meet the specified strength as shown on the building plans approved by the department, there is no obvious structural danger, the department said.

New World responded that only a few units are involved, stressing that the two towers in Phase I were confirmed to be structurally safe and the follow-up work would not affect the delivery schedule.

This comes after an earlier announcement in July that Towers 1 and 8 of The Pavilia Farm III will be demolished and rebuilt as the concrete base of its walls failed to reach standard requirement.

New World stressed that a review on Phase II shows all blocks meet statutory standards and the two towers in Phase I were confirmed to be structurally safe following assessment by registered structural engineers. "As things stand, the follow-up works will not affect the obtaining of the occupation permit and the estimated material date for the delivery of Pavilia Farm I," a spokesman said.

據興勝創建旗下美亨實業控股公告指，與KLT II Holdings (BVI) L.P.成立合營公司Wealth King Ventures Limited，並各佔50%權益，以現金作價1.95億向已故羅楊秀英的遺產 (由羅啟義作為遺囑執行人代表) 購入衙前圍道55號，該地盤面積約8092方呎，以可建總樓面2.4萬方呎計，每方呎樓面地價約8125元。

樓面呎價8125元

該物業為一幢空置樓宇，而完成收購後，將重新發展為住宅，並將進行銷售。資料顯示，上述舊樓早於1951年落成入伙，至今樓齡約70年，鄰近九龍城潮語浸信會，具重建價值。

美亨實業控股指，在現行低息環境下，為提高資金使用效率，增加資金運營收益，一直探索機會，於不影響集團業務運營、正常營運及擴張情況下，更好地利用其閒置現金資源。該公司認為，上述交易及收購事項為集團提供較一般香港商業銀行存款利率更佳潛在回報的絕佳投資機會。

資料顯示，美亨實業控股為分包商，主要從事外牆及幕牆系統 (以幕牆及鋁門窗為主) 的設計、供應及安裝，在香港經營業務逾20年。在2007年，興勝創建收購美亨實業，美亨實業成為興勝創建旗下的子公司之一。

青衣物流地估值逾65億 可建逾221萬呎 相隔三年再推同類地皮

近年物流用地供應罕有，政府為支持現代物流業發展，亦加快新供應；地政總署昨公布，推出青衣「巨無霸」物流地皮招標，該地建總樓面約221.92萬方呎，是政府自18年推出屯門物流地後、相隔逾三年再有同類地皮供應；綜合市場估值約65億至88.8億，每方呎樓面地價約2900至4000元。

地政總署昨日公布，推出青衣路與青衣航運路交界的物流服務用途地皮招標，該地皮位於青衣市地段第200號，鄰近豐樹青衣物流中心及九號貨櫃碼頭，該地皮指定作物流服務用途。

鄰近青衣九號貨櫃碼頭

上述「巨無霸」物流地，地盤面積約67.52萬方呎，可建總樓面約221.92萬方呎，以發展多層港口後勤兼現代物流設施，以及提供不少於2200個20方呎標準貨櫃的貯存空間，以達致一地多用。該地皮將於昨日起招標，明年3月11日截標。

資料顯示，政府對上一幅物流地招標仍追溯至2018年5月屯門第49區小冷水路項目，該地盤面積約34.08萬方呎，可建總樓面約85.21萬方呎，當時由嘉民集團以27.51億投得，每方呎樓面地價約3228元。

地盤面積逾67萬呎

政府指出，一直積極物色合適土地以支持現代物流業發展，正如「施政報告附篇」中公布，政府已就兩幅港口後勤用地完成可行性研究，並會由今年起以公開招標形式分階段出售該兩幅用地，當中包括是次出售的青衣物流地。

運房局：鞏固區域樞紐地位

運房局發言人表示，物流業是本港經濟非常重要的一環，為本港的社會貢獻良多，為持續推動現代物流業的發展，政府會繼續物色更多合適用地，以發展多層現代物流設施，從而鞏固香港作為區域物流樞紐的地位。

有測量師指出，近年物流地供應罕有，另一方面，在疫下電商冒起，刺激物流貨運及跨境貨運，以及相關配套設備需求大增；即使在航運業因疫情大受打擊，集裝箱亦需要地方安置，相信屆時可吸引4至6家財團入標。綜合市場估值約65億至88.8億，每方呎樓面地價約2900至4000元。

另一測量師認為，是次推出的青衣物流地皮位於九號貨櫃碼頭旁邊，項目發展規模龐大；由於近年不少工廈被改劃重建為商廈、數據中心等非傳統工業用途，導致用作物流用途的樓面有所減少，政府要配合市場推出相關用地，滿足市場需求。

Hong Kong homebuyers snap up a third of 500 flats offered by five developers in city’s biggest weekend sale since September

Henderson Land sold out all 50 flats on offer at its Caine Hill development within five hours after sales started

Four other residential property projects received less interest on Saturday because many homebuyers are after the newest flats in the market

Hong Kong homebuyers snapped up 145 flats of nearly 500 units offered by five major developers as of 6pm on Saturday, marking the city’s biggest weekend sale since September in terms of number of flats up for grabs.

Henderson Land sold out all 50 flats on offer at its Caine Hill development within five hours after sales started. This project, located in Sai Ying Pun, on the western part of Hong Kong Island, had received more than 500 registrations of interest, which translates to about 10 bids on average for each available unit.

Caine Hill has a total of 187 units, including studio units measuring from 190 square feet, one-bedroom flats from 277 sq ft and a two-bedroom flat with rooftop at 446 sq ft. Sale prices ranged from HK$5.42 million to HK$8.69 million per unit, with the average cost per square foot at HK$28,780.

“A lot of homebuyers are interested in Caine Hill because it’s a new offering and the project’s location is close to the heart of the city,” property agent said. “The price is affordable for young homebuyers and it also attracted investors because rental income in the area can reach 3.5 per cent.”

Four other residential projects attracted less buyers on Saturday, according to the agent, because homebuyers are more keen to acquire the newest flats on the market.

Hang Lung Properties sold only 30 out of 130 flats on offer at The Aperture in Kowloon Bay as of 3pm. The developer sold 89 units at the project a week earlier.

The 130 flats on offer range from one-bedroom units to three-bedroom flats, with sizes from 320 to 770 sq ft. These were priced between HK$7.73 million and HK$18.49 million, or an average of HK$22,600 per square foot.

Kowloon Development managed to sell 64 of 312 flats on offer at its Manor Hill project in Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O as of 6pm. This was the third round of sales for the project, which has a total of 1,556 units.

The 312 flats on sale ranged from studio to two-bedroom units, with sizes from 203 sq ft to 428 sq ft. These were priced between HK$4.29 million and HK$9.06 million, or an average cost of HK$22,601 per square foot.

The sales results on Saturday put Hong Kong on track to reaching a record 1,500 transactions in December, which could take the full-year tally to 18,000 units.

“The property market remains solid because liquidity in the market is strong,” the agent said. “Expectations over the reopening of Hong Kong’s border with the mainland have also helped boost demand. We expect this trend to continue.”

The brisk take-up also reflects improved sentiment among homebuyers, following Beijing’s final approval for quarantine-free travel between Hong Kong and Guangdong province. About 550,000 Hongkongers have signed up for the city’s new Covid-19 health code, which is required for quarantine-free travel to mainland China.

Meanwhile, CK Asset Holdings sold one unit at its El Futuro project in Sha Tin after offering seven flats on Saturday. The developer has already sold 152 units, worth a total of HK$2.1 billion, since this development was launched a year ago.

Flats at El Futuro, scheduled for completion in March 2023, are priced between HK$7.62 million and HK$27.64 million, or HK$15,599 to HK$22,537 per sq ft. These units measure from 484 sq ft to 1,226 sq ft.

Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong), a unit of China Vanke, the country’s third-largest developer, did not sell any of the 25 units on offer at its Vau Residence project in Ho Man Tin on Saturday. This development, which has a total of 165 flats, has been for sale since June.

市區物業有價有市，部分業主亦趁勢放售。灣仔莊士敦道全豐樓一籃子商住物業，該項目全幢約95%業權，以意向價7.4億放售。

有代理表示，上述放售物業為灣仔莊士敦道188至192號地下3個鋪位連閣樓及41伙住宅，佔全幢約95%業權份數，總樓面約21560方呎，意向價約7.4億，平均呎價約34323元，以現狀及連現有租約出售。

三個鋪位連41個住宅

該代理表示，項目地盤面積約3181方呎，地皮規劃為其他指定用途 (混合用途) 用途，混合用途限制少，無論是重建為銀座式商廈或住宅都將享有可觀回報，項目重建成非住用建築物的話最高地積比率為15倍。

灣仔多重建項目

該代理續稱，灣仔作為港島北商業核心區，區內亦有不少重建項目進行得如火如荼，當中規模最大屬合和中心2期及搬遷3座政府大樓及港灣消防局用地作重建。土地審裁處新近也接獲灣仔交加街2至8號雙號舊樓強拍申請，反映其他發展商亦看中灣仔發展前景亮麗，正積極加快收購重建步伐。該代理指，今番放售物業位處興旺地段，加上所佔業權份數高，強拍阻力少；地盤規模合適，重建價值大大提高，料將備受發展商及投資者垂青。

市場消息指 ，九龍灣富臨中心B座中層C室，面積約1535方呎，以2356.225萬售出，呎價約15350元；另一成交為該項目同層毗鄰單位，面積1578方呎，以約2422.23萬售出，呎價約15350元；發展商指，上述兩成交買家為同一組買家，購入作自用用途。

買家購入自用

項目早前推出「先用後付」付款辦法，於簽署正式合約支付樓價10%後，可取得鎖匙使用單位，並於臨約後的60天及150再付樓價5%，成交期最長24個月，屆時付餘款80%，此付款方法可照定價九二折。

東傲呎價10059元售

資料顯示，該廈2206室標準單位，面積約923方呎，早前以約1098.37萬售出，呎價約11900元，創項目呎價新高，亦為同區工廈呎價新高。

馬亞木7800萬沽深水埗商住樓 建華集團承接 今年暫購八項物業

本港疫情走勢平穩，帶動市場氣氛持續改善，工商鋪再錄大手成交。消息指，由「小巴大王」馬亞木持有的深水埗長發街全幢商住樓以7800萬易手，買家為建華集團相關人士，該集團於今年以來購入8項工商物業，合共涉資逾6億。

消息人士透露，「小巴大王」馬亞木持有的深水埗長發街20號全幢商住樓，總樓面約4000方呎，以約7800萬易手，呎價約1.95萬，買家為建華集團相關人士，原業主於2005年以1800萬購入，持貨16年帳面獲利約6000萬，物業期間升值約3.3倍。

平均呎價1.95萬

據業內人士指出，上述項目位處長發街與順寧道大單邊，人流量相當不俗，成交價屬市價水平，該地段為民生街市地段，料買家購入有機會作自用用途，並指因疫市下街市業營運穩定，同類鋪位亦備受追捧。

有代理評論指，上述鋪位成交價屬合理水平，建華集團於過去半年間於市場上相當活躍，於各區頻頻洽購鋪位，事實上，自從疫情於去年初爆發，食材及超市等行業可謂獨領風騷，故營運商均積極擴充，部分資金較雄厚者更可大舉入市購入物業作自用用途。

位處順寧道單邊

事實上，建華集團近期頻頻入市，知情人士透露，由龍湖及合景泰富合作發展的啟德尚．珒溋地下及一樓巨鋪早前售出，成交價為2.85億，該買家亦為建華集團。

斥2.85億購尚．珒溋鋪

資料顯示，建華集團於今年以來購入8項工商鋪物業，合共涉資逾6億，其中，該集團於上月以7600萬購入荔枝角美孚新邨1期百老匯街12A號地鋪，呎價約7.6萬，上址由菜檔租用，月租20萬，租金回報率約3.1厘。

另外，該集團早前亦以2500萬購入灣仔石水渠街14至24號金勝大廈地鋪；至於工廈項目方面，該集團於今年5月以4600萬購入大埔太平工業園A座6樓全層，以面積13972方呎計，呎價3292元。

中信泰富大坑道地 批建2幢豪宅

恒地土瓜灣道舊樓獲批則 重建商住大廈

近年賣地項目陸續批出建築圖則，其中中信泰富投得的大坑道住宅地，剛獲興建2幢豪宅，樓面約12.9萬平方呎。另外，恒地 (00012) 收購的土瓜灣道舊樓項目亦獲批重建。

屋宇署昨公布，10月份批出13份建築圖則，包括8項住宅及商住發展、1項商業發展，其餘則為工業或社區設施。

在住宅項目之中，中信泰富在2019年底以32億元奪得的渣甸山大坑道135號項目，獲批興建兩幢20層高的分層住宅大廈，另設2層地庫，總樓面約12.9萬平方呎。

該地由中信股份 (00267) 旗下中信泰富以每呎24,836元投得，據中信泰富早前透露，該項目將會打造成地標式豪宅，擁有背山面海的優點，物業坐落於供應稀缺的渣甸山地段，可望維港景色。

10月批出13份建築圖則

另外，積極收購舊樓作重建的恒地，其土瓜灣道68A至76B號、落山道58至76號及下鄉道14至20號亦批出建築圖則，項目獲准建成27層高商住大廈 (另設3層平台及2層地庫)，總樓面約38.2萬平方呎，除了31.9萬平方呎的住宅樓面外，還有6萬多平方呎的商舖，粗略估算，可興建600至800個中小型單位。

同時，長沙灣、深水埗一帶亦有不少舊樓展開重建，未來將會有不少單幢新盤推出。其中萬科香港收購的醫局街221至233號，獲准重建成20層高商住大廈，總樓面約6.3萬平方呎：而同區由中小型發展商新暉投資早前透過強拍統一業權的醫局街134至142A號，亦獲准重建24層高商住大廈，總樓面約5.6萬平方呎。

此外，鷹君 (00041) 在今年3月接手原本由高銀金融主席潘蘇通發展的何文田站1期後，再向屋宇署申請就圖則作重大修訂，將原本5幢24至25層住宅大廈，另設2幢1層高的會所設計，改為5幢劃一25層高住宅，同樣設2幢會所，另外設一條有蓋行人天橋，總樓面略為增加3千平方呎至74.3萬平方呎。

New Yuen Long batch costs upward of $7.4m

The Yoho Hub atop Yuen Long MTR Station has released the third price list which includes 109 flats with a discounted minimum price of HK$7.47 million.

Covering units from 325 sq ft to 1,036 sq ft, this batch with an average price per sq ft of HK$21,799 after discounts, is 3.7 percent costlier than the second one.

The first round of sales, which involves 325 units, will take place on Sunday, Boxing Day, said the developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016).

Meanwhile, also in the primary market, Soyo, a new residential project at 63 Soy Street in Mongkok, unveiled the first price list of 70 studio flats at an average price of HK$24,179 per square foot after discounts.

The nano flats, which range from 152 sq ft to 228 sq ft, are priced from HK$3.39 million to HK$5.96 million after discounts.

Co-developed by Excel Billion Group and Chun Wo Development, the project provides a total of 120 studio flats.

In Kai Tak, Monaco Marine, the second phase of Wheelock Properties' Monaco One project, is expected to launch in January at the earliest, the developer said.

The project will provide a total of 559 flats, including standard units with areas from 320 sq ft to 710 sq ft and penthouses from 1,500 sq ft to 1,700 sq ft, said managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu, who added that the new project may be 10 percent costlier than Monaco One because of better views and direction it offers.

Wong said Wheelock sold more than 1,110 flats in its three Kai Tak projects launched this year and cashed in about HK$13.6 billion, of which Monaco One contributed more than HK$5 billion with 488 flats sold at an average price of HK$25,100 per sq ft.

Hong Kong’s office fit-out costs to increase next year as businesses regain confidence after recovering from Covid-19 pandemic

The average cost of fitting out an office in Hong Kong jumped 9 per cent this year compared with last year

Hong Kong ranked ninth in office fit-out costs in Asia-Pacific this year, while Tokyo topped the list

The average cost of fitting out an office in Hong Kong has rebounded to pre-Covid-19 levels and is expected to increase further next year because of rising business confidence as the city overcomes its worst economic recession, according to property consultancy.

The cost of designing and building workspaces jumped 9 per cent to HK$935 (US$120) per square foot this year after dropping in 2020, the real estate consultancy said in its Asia-Pacific fit-out cost guide for 2021-22. No projections were provided for next year.

“The market has recovered and resumed to normal as the pandemic is contained and companies’ confidence towards the business outlook has increased,” a property consultant said. “This has supported contractor pricing.”

Among Asia-Pacific markets, Hong Kong ranked ninth in office fit-out costs, the same as last year. Tokyo was the most expensive at HK$1,381 per sq ft, while Ahmedabad in India was the cheapest at HK$484 per sq ft.

Fit-out costs across the region rose 10.8 per cent year on year, mainly as a result of the impact of the pandemic, which led to supply chain disruptions, labour shortages and increased costs for raw materials, according to the report.

Looking ahead, the consultancy predicts costs will continue to increase, especially in cities that rely heavily on foreign labour and imported materials.

“Given the continued restrictions around the deployment of labour and having to seek alternative and potentially more expensive materials, there remains a high possibility that price increases will sustain across the region,” another property consultant said.

In Hong Kong, costs are expected to be driven by the continued mitigation of the pandemic, and a further boost to the economy from the easing of Covid-19 measures and recovery in global trade.

Additionally, surveys show Hong Kong workers can expect higher salary increases next year, which are likely apply to labour costs and thus push up the cost of office construction and renovation.

Despite the predicted increase in expenses, office design and building remain on companies agenda next year, according to the property consultancy.

The top three areas corporate leaders have earmarked for investment in 2022 were technology and audio-visual tools, mechanical and electrical facilities, and sustainability features, such as rooftop gardens, indoor greenery and water conservation.

“Building an office in a sustainable and responsible way creates upfront value for companies,” the consultant said. “Not only can they decrease operational costs by driving energy efficiency, but they can create a more productive and conducive work environment to win in the war for talent.”

今年寫字樓交投從低位反彈，有報告指，今年暫錄1,096宗寫字樓買賣，按年升4成。

因應中港通關經整年商議仍未落實，商廈市場受創最大，全年市況偏淡靜，特別是港九指標商廈情況更見嚴峻；而隨着中環大型臨海商業用地中標價刷新賣地記錄，為商廈市場鮮有的喜訊。

有代理表示，今年暫錄得約1,096宗寫字樓買賣成交，總成交金額約374.94億元，按年分別上升約43%及29%；宗數為2019社會事件及2020新冠肺炎後首度破千宗水平。租賃市場方面，2021年暫時有約6,541宗寫字樓租務成交，對比去年增加約24%；總成交金額則錄得約6.95億元，亦比2020年上升約23%。與買賣走勢相似，今年成交宗數亦是自2019及2020年後再度衝破6,000宗水平，租務氣氛都有好轉迹象。

預測明年價升5至10%

該代理續表示，2021年全年港九指標商廈買賣個案暫錄得72宗個案，當中九龍區表現較佳，佔41宗成交，遠超出去年約15宗水平，相信由於九龍甲廈呎價較相宜且質素又見不俗，因而吸引投資者入市。而租賃表現就較疲弱；而今年港九指標商廈暫共錄得約570宗租務個案，走勢一般，令各核心商業區空置情況難以改善，港島區11月整體甲廈空置率為10%，比今年1月上升0.58個百分點，當中中環最新空置率錄約8.03%，比年初亦升0.86個百分點，金鐘11月空置率則為9.43%，持續徘徊於8%至9%水平。

該代理預測，雖然變種病毒來襲，但港府近月積極爭取中港「小通關」，預計即使計劃延後，但始終見曙光，下年有機會落實初步通關，料商務人士可更方便來港，為商廈市場帶來支撑力，對買賣及租賃市場都為利好因素。預測2022年全年會錄得1,200宗水平，成交金額會達400億元，買賣價則會有5%至10%上調空間，而租務成交量則料會有6,500宗水平，而受到高企的空置率拖累，料租金僅會有0%至5%升幅。

海港中心全層意向呎租50元

本港疫情走勢穩定，為甲廈市場釋出正面訊息，部分業主亦趁勢放租旗下物業。灣仔海港中心12樓全層，以意向呎租約50元放租，較早前叫租下調約10%。

叫租下調約10%

有代理表示，灣仔港灣道25號海港中心12樓全層，面積約15929方呎，意向呎租約50元，涉及月租約79.6萬，現已交吉。代理指，舊租客為大型衞星通信公司，剛於今年年中遷出，前月租約89萬，對比此番意向月租，下調約10%。是次招租物業位處中層，可眺望優美維港海景，加上物業配有豪華全寫字樓裝修及間隔，租客可即租即用，節省開支及裝修時間。

代理續稱，海港中心坐落於灣仔核心商業地段，佔盡地利優勢，加上未來沙中綫會展站將設出入口連接，日後通車後人流勢增，為物業增值。代理認為，今番放租物業屬核心區矜罕大面積盤源，亦屬海港中心唯一全層放租。一旦兩地恢復往來，核心商業區租盤將嚴重短缺，加上業主叫價表現克制。翻查記錄，同幢最近全層租務成交追溯至2020年12月錄得，其23樓及24樓以呎租約60元租出，故相隔近一年有新全層供應，預計是次物業洽租反應會見理想。

九龍城舊樓強拍底價七億

自港鐵屯馬綫「駛入」九龍城區後，區內舊樓併購活動明顯加快，不少財團透過強拍途徑增加土儲；由遠洋集團收購的九龍城大華大廈，落實於明年1月18日舉行強拍，底價7.05億。

項目位於衙前塱道3至13號，上月底獲土審處批出強拍令，該財團持有不少於80%業權。現為一幢6層高商住物業，地下、1至3樓為護老院，另有7個地鋪，樓上4及5樓每層有10伙住宅單位，合共提供30伙，早於1967年落成，至今樓齡約54年。

遠洋集團持逾八成業權

該項目地盤約7030方呎，現劃為「住宅 (甲類)2」用途，若以9倍地積比率作商住重建發展，可建約63270方呎。項目鄰近港鐵宋皇臺B2出口，步行前往不足2分鐘，出入便利。拍賣行為仲量聯行。

另外，由財團申請強拍的西營盤保德街1至7號舊樓，將於今日在戴德梁行舉行強拍，底價約3.77億。上址現為1幢樓高8層商住舊樓，地下為商鋪，樓上為住宅；地盤約3005方呎，若以地積比約9倍重建，預計可建約27045方呎。

總結今年舊樓強拍個案，迄今暫錄16宗申請，對比去年全年的35宗，數字為近4年來最少，按年減少19宗，跌幅達54%；而土審處今年亦批出約24宗舊樓強拍令。

上環太興中心一座配套齊合中小企

太興中心一座位於上環心臟地帶，大堂及各樓層亦曾進行翻新，物業質素提升，而大廈亦鄰近港鐵上環站，適合中小企進駐。

太興中心一座是一幢乙級商業大廈，位於上環皇后大道中237號，屬於分散業權的商廈。目前物業可提供出租及出售，與同區的商廈比較，該物業租務成交較買賣成交為頻密。太興中心一座在1990年落成，樓齡約31年，物業樓高共29層，設有2部載客升降機及1部載貨升降機，而大堂及各樓層曾進行翻新，同時有水牌指示，方便商客穿梭各層。

物業每層約2,180平方呎，景觀方面以開揚及城市景為主，滙集不同類型的企業進駐，例如證券、會計、藥業等行業。

鄰近港鐵站 餐飲種類多

交通配套方面，太興中心一座位於上環核心，交通配套十分齊全，巴士路綫能往返港島、九龍及新界，亦鄰近港鐵上環站E2出口，由出口步行至5至10分鐘便到該物業。同時附近設有電車站，方便商客來往港島區。物業附近一帶具備良好交通優勢的條件，可以為商客提供不同形式的商務體驗。

餐飲方面，該物業身處位於中環及上環之間，考慮餐飲更有彈性，就以中環為例，該處一帶有不同類型的西式餐廳，為商客提供全面的西式餐飲體驗。如果對中式餐飲有興趣，可步行至無限極廣場、信德中心一帶，該商場設有不同的中式酒樓，為熱愛中式美食的商客提供更完善的商務餐飲。

Property market fares well over Christmas

Hong Kong's property market was busy over the Christmas weekend, with buyers snapping up new and old homes, while prices at blue-chip estates are expected to remain intact into the new year.

The Yoho Hub atop the MTR Yuen Long Station sold more than 80 percent of the flats offered in the first round of sales during the long Christmas weekend, raking in over HK$3 billion, said Victor Lui Ting, deputy managing director at Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016).

The developer revealed the fourth price list yesterday for 145 flats at an average price of HK$21,261 per square foot after discounts, with no premium compared to the previous price lists.

The list includes 25 one-bedroom, 62 two-bedroom, 48 three-bedroom and 10 four-bedroom apartments, ranging from 326 sq ft to 1,036 sq ft in size. The second round of sales is expected to be launched at the beginning of 2022, said Lui.

In the secondary market, transactions at 10 blue-chip housing estates picked up by 36 percent over the previous weekend, data from a property agency showed.

A total of 15 secondary deals were recorded, and the New Territories slightly outperformed Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, with seven deals. Three blue-chip estates - Caribbean Coast in Tung Chung, City One Shatin, and Kingswood Villas in Tin Shui Wai - saw a 40 percent increase in the number of deals over the previous week.

Property agenct said that as the border between the mainland and Hong Kong is expected to reopen soon, buyers who failed to get a primary home turned to the secondary market for good-value apartments in different districts, to beat the expected rise in prices.

Tsuen Wan has become a "hidden gem" in the secondary market since prices in the district are cheaper than other districts, while the Northern Metropolis concept may also benefit Tsuen Wan in the future, another property agent said.

The agent added that the number of house-viewing requests received by the branch jumped 25 percent over the three-day Christmas holidays from a week ago.

Separately, 384 transactions were recorded in Tai Koo Shing so far this year, an increase of 10 percent over the last year's figure, another agent said.

As one of the blue-chip estates in Hong Kong Island, the agent said that the average price of HK$20,109 per sq ft is expected to remain intact next month.

The five biggest factors that may influence Hong Kong home prices in the year ahead

Forecasts for price movement in 2022 range from a drop of 2 per cent by Morgan Stanley to a rise of 10 per cent by property agency

The city’s property market saw much slower growth in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic

Hong Kong has repeatedly been touted as the least affordable housing market over the years, with the average household needing to save for about 20 years to buy a home.

It costs HK$16,239 (US$2,082) per sq ft to buy a property in Hong Kong, according to data from a property agency.

But Hong Kong saw slower growth in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. It placed 116th among 150 cities surveyed for house price growth in the third quarter, according to another agency’s global residential cities index.

Home prices rose 3.9 per cent in the first 10 months of 2021, according to data from the Rating and Valuation Department. Forecasts for price movement in 2022 range from a drop of 2 per cent from Morgan Stanley to a rise of 10 per cent from a property agency.

Here are five major factors that may influence home prices in the coming year:

1. Interest rate movement

The market should watch out for an acceleration in US interest rate rises if inflation is uncontained, with three increases generally expected in 2022, a surveyor said.

This expectation has prompted a softening of the valuation index, a weekly gauge that tracks major banks’ valuations for used homes in 133 housing estates, compiled by a property agency. It saw the biggest drop in six weeks to 28.38 points in the week ended December 19. One of the index below 40 indicates a bearish view of the market and a downward trend in home prices, while one above 60 points indicates a bullish trend.

If the city’s aggregate bank balance remains sufficient, the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (Hibor), which is widely used for linking mortgage rates, may not keep pace with increases in the US interest rate, according to a mortgage broker. Next year, Hong Kong’s mortgage interest rate will remain below 2 per cent, and the low-interest rate environment will continue for the 14th year, the mortgage broker added.

For a 30-year mortgage, if the Hibor-linked mortgage rate is increased by 1 per cent, the monthly repayment goes up by HK$495 for a HK$1 million loan, according to the mortgage broker.

The actual Hibor-linked mortgage rate fell to a 10-year low of 1.36 per cent in 2021. More than 90 per cent of mortgage holders use Hibor linked mortgages, according to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

2. Chief Executive election in March 2022

A change of leadership could usher in a new mindset regarding the supply of flats and measures that have restrained demand. A lot would depend on the strength of a new Chief Executive’s implementation of these measures though, a surveyor said. Things to look out for may include:

a) New land and housing policies such as measures to help first-time buyers or restrictions on buying a second apartment, and more details about the Northern Metropolis and the Lantau Tomorrow Vision projects.

b) A lower threshold for compulsory sales under the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance (Cap 545).

c) More incentives for redevelopment.

3. Covid-19 developments

The market will doubtless be lifted by the border reopening between China and Hong Kong and its positive impact on the economy. Pandemic control measures globally as well as the effectiveness of new vaccines for Covid-19 and its variants are worth monitoring as they will affect the opening of international borders.

4. Hong Kong’s economy

Overall economic conditions could be a challenge if there is an escalation in Covid-19 cases and the city ends up back in lockdown, similar to what’s happening in some European countries, said Michael Wu, senior equity analyst at Morningstar. As such, rising unemployment would be a key.

Hong Kong had seen 12,599 confirmed or probable Covid-19 cases as of Monday.

The Hang Seng Index (HSI) is down around a quarter in 2021 since mid-February. Hong Kong’s property prices tend to decline post-HSI decline, most probably because of a negative wealth effect, according to Morgan Stanley. The performance of the stock market will affect wealth and buying sentiment.

Other economic indicators correlated to home price movement include real GDP growth, inflation, rental yield over mortgage and residential sales volume in the secondary market, Morgan Stanley’s report added.

5. Economy in mainland China

Meanwhile, GDP growth in mainland China, the financial problems of mainland-based developers and geopolitical factors such as fraught relations with the US, may be causes for concern. They will determine whether mainland buyers return to Hong Kong’s housing market in droves in 2022.

Maintaining a stable and healthy economy in the run-up to the 20th congress of the Chinese Communist Party in the second half of 2022 is set as the top priority for the year, according to a Standard Chartered Bank report released on December 10. The bank forecasts GDP growth of 5.3 per cent in China next year.

Goldman Sachs expects the People’s Bank of China to inject more long-term liquidity via required reserve ratio cuts. One more cut is expected in the first quarter of the year, as well as various lending facilities, and an easing of property policies at local level.

The investment bank said in its report released on December 26 that headwinds to growth remain, however. The property market might continue to cool, the city’s zero-Covid strategy could drag on consumption, and Beijing’s anti-pollution measures before the Winter Olympic Games early next year could weigh on industrial production.

賣地收入1830億增2.5倍 全年賣出十幅地 三幅「百億地王」矚目

本港經濟保持復甦態勢，未來前景漸見明朗及整體樓市持續向好下，今年政府先後售出10幅地皮，其中恒基以破紀錄508億奪標的中環新海濱3號商業地王，就最為矚目；在百億商業及住宅地王帶動下，並連同「一鐵一局」及私人項目補地價等入益，估計為庫房進帳高達約1830.59億，收益再創歷史新高紀錄。

今年政府先後成功售出10幅土地，包括7幅住宅地、2幅商業/酒店地以及1幅工業地，若連同預計本周公布中標結果的大埔公路大埔滘段住宅地，全年售出11幅地皮，數字與去年相同。

唯年內有3幅「百億地王」誕生，因而推高今年政府賣地收入，單計已售出地皮計，賣地收入已達1066.61億，若連同「一鐵一局」項目及補地價收入，估計政府全年土地收入約1830.59億，創歷年新高紀錄，而按年比較止跌回升，對比去年的520.128億，按年勁增1310.462億，升幅高達2.5倍。

資料顯示，對上一次賣地收入紀錄是1486億，於2019年創下，換言之，有關紀錄保持約2年即於今年被打破，並將舊紀錄推高約344.59億，升幅約23.19%。

地價收入創歷史新高

回顧年內曾先後誕生3幅百億地王，幅幅「含金量」十足，涉及金額已超過808.58億，佔整體賣地總收入的44.17%。

當中最矚目為今年11月恒基以破紀錄508億奪標的中環新海濱3號商業地王，地價打破全港賣地史紀錄，一舉登上本港開埠以來地王寶座，單計地價已超越去年全年地價總和，以可建總樓面約161.4萬方呎計，每方呎樓面地價約31463元。

而今年「第二貴」的地皮，同屬港島區的商業地皮，為今年5月由希慎夥拍華懋財團以197.78億投得的銅鑼灣加路連山道商業，呎價約18374元。緊接最後一幅批出的百億地則是今年2月由長實以102.8億奪標的啟德第4E區2號住宅地，每方呎地價約15861元，亦是該公司首次「插旗」啟德區發展。

中環新海濱508億批出

今年除有中環商業地王以破紀錄價批出外，亦誕生本港賣地史上呎價最貴紀錄，為今年2月初由九龍倉牽頭財團以72.5億中標的山頂文輝道第9及11號豪宅地，每方呎樓面地價達50010元，超越2019年12月底毗鄰文輝道2號至8號錄得的樓面呎價46272元，短短2個月內再度創賣地表住宅地皮樓面呎價新紀錄。

除賣地成績創新高外，今年私人項目補地價收益亦創出歷年新高，單計今年首11個月，補地價收入已達約506.57億，較去年127.27億，高出近3倍，而對比2017年全年補地價約400.03億的舊紀錄，更多推高106.54億，升幅高達26.6%，創歷史新高；並且由2015年起，連續7年金額超越100億。

「一鐵一局」連批五項目 土瓜灣成供應庫

近年全速覓地增加供應，今年政府賣地收益創新高之際，連「一鐵一局」的發展項目亦成為發展商爭奪目標，年內「一鐵一局」批出5個項目，為庫房進帳約257.41億。

港鐵亦加快推售旗下物業發展項目招標，年內港鐵推出3個項招標，成功批出2個項目，均於今年上半年批出，為黃竹坑站上蓋港島南岸5及6期項目，不過東涌牽引配電站物業發展項目卻罕有以流標收場。

港島南岸五期項目成焦點

當中最矚目為今年1月底以推出的港島南岸5期項目，當時由新世界、帝國集團、資本策略及麗新合組的財團奪得項目發展權；據悉，該項目補地價金額達約64.37億，為港島南岸各期數中補價第三貴，以可建總樓面約63.6萬方呎計，每方呎補價約10119元。

港鐵緊接於今年4月隨即批出港島南岸6期物業發展權，並由會德豐地產奪得，並是該公司首個「插旗」黃竹坑站上蓋港島南岸項目；消息指，該項目補地價金額約49.4586億，以可建總樓面約50.38萬計算，每方呎補價約9818元。

值得一提的是，港鐵今年11月推出的東涌牽引配電站物業發展項目，卻罕有以流標收場，是自2014年初輕鐵天水圍天榮站項目後，相隔七年來再有港鐵項目以流標告終。而該項目補地價約47.65億，每方呎補價約5072元；有業內人士指，該項目交通配套一般，認為補地價偏高是直接導致流標主因。

相隔七年再有港鐵項目流標

至於市建局年內批出3個項目發展權，當中以「小區模式」發展的土瓜灣區更佔2個，包括9月初首個以「小區模式」發展的庇利街/榮光街重量級重建項目，可建總樓面約71.7萬方呎，是該局近七年來最大型的發展項目，由恒基以81.89億奪得項目發展權，每方呎樓面地價約11414元。

該局在區內第二個以「小區模式」發展的鴻福街/銀漢街項目，本月中旬由嘉里斥資55.878億奪標，每方呎樓面地價約12591元，呎價較9月批出的毗鄰地皮短短三個月升約一成。資料顯示，嘉里對上一次投得市建區項目、為2005年西營盤第一街/第二街重建項目，現已發展為縉城峰，意味是次土瓜灣項目為嘉里相隔約16年再次投得市建局項目。

創譽3.77億統一西營盤舊樓

西營盤保德街1至7號舊樓，昨日由戴德梁行進行強拍，由創譽發展以底價3.77億統一業權，

項目地盤面積約3005方呎，屬於999年期的「千年地契」，該地現規劃為「住宅 (甲類)」用途，若以地積比約9.4倍重建，預計可建總樓面約28153方呎，每呎樓面地價約13391元。

將重建作單幢樓

創譽發展董事伍登輝稱，項目將重建為一幢21層高的住宅項目，料提供約40至50伙，主打面積300餘至750餘方呎的中小型單位，分為每層兩梯一戶、兩梯兩戶、以及兩梯三戶，不過兩梯三戶伙數會較少，估計重建後項目市值約7億多。

伍氏强調，項目伙數密度較低，電梯相對多，希望住戶住得舒服，認為現時香港有意置業的用家並不想住得擠逼辛苦，直言「衫都無地方放真是好慘」。至於同系羅便臣道燕貽大廈，現正申請强拍，將重建作豪宅，料涉30至40伙，單位面積約1100至2000方呎。

九龍貨倉增設商場

會德豐地產旗下九龍灣臨海項目九龍貨倉，再向城規會遞交修訂方案，住宅樓面地積比由5倍縮減至4.96倍發展，單位總伙數維持1782伙不變；並將住宅縮減的0.04倍地積比用於興建一幢1層高的商場、涉及樓面約6458方呎，而整體可建總樓面維持82.9萬方呎不變。

西貢工業區轉型 康定路將變天

位於西貢市中心西南面的西貢康定路工業區一帶漸轉型，該帶的5座舊式工廈上月獲城規會方在有附帶條件下批准，以重建安老院及多元服務中心，合共提供1,127個安老院舍床位。

西貢康定路工業區主要由5幢工廈組成，涉及地段為西貢康定路1、2、6、7及9號，總樓面面積合共逾50萬平方呎，過去分別由北海集團 (00701) 及四洲集團 (00374) 持有，以作工廠及倉庫等工業用途。

5工廈改安老院 提供1127床位

為推動該帶轉型，上述5座工廈目前均坐落於「住宅 (戊類)」用地之上。事實上，過去位處康定路的7號及9號的兩幢中華製漆廠房之前業主，即北海集團曾經就該項目分別申請重建成2幢酒店，提供約294個酒店客房，及發展住宅，提供約178個私人單位，最終方案亦獲批出。

但是該5幢工廈近年已獲已故「舖王」鄧成波及其家族買入。而已故「舖王」鄧成波家族購入上址後，過往曾就上述5工廈，向城規會申請重建為安老院及分層住宅，亦曾為個別項目 (康定路1號四洲集團大廈) 重建為私立學校，惟方案均遭城規會拒絕。

不過，鄧氏家族最近再修改申請，計劃興建安老院，涉5座樓高6層的建築，合提供1,127個安老院舍床位，並設多元服務中心以提供長者服務。

上述5個工廈現時規劃為「住宅 (戊類)1」及顯示為「道路」的地帶之用途，地皮佔地約12.55萬平方呎。申請人擬以地積比率2倍，以發展涉及的總樓面約25.1萬平方呎，當中安老院舍的總樓面佔約23.6萬平方呎。

鄰近有低密度住宅新盤落成

考慮到擬建項目與逐步淘汰工業發展的規劃原意相符，亦可為區內的長者提供特別照顧等因素，上述申請最終得獲會方在有條件條件下批准，意味日後康定路一帶將變天。

值得一提的是，近年鄰近康定路一帶亦有低密度住宅新盤落成，包括信置 (00083) 發展、位於康村路的逸瓏海滙等。

發展商積極補價 西貢發展住宅

除了工廈改劃項目，西貢亦吸引發展商積極投地及進行補地價，以發展住宅。

新地 (00016) 上月就旗下西貢十四鄉項目，進行次輪補地價，涉資約37.5億元，當中住宅地盤補地價約37.2億元，每呎樓面地價約3,500元。

新地十四鄉補價159億 建9500伙

十四鄉項目分為A、B及C號地盤，佔地面積近700萬呎，發展商在2017年補地價近159億元，成歷來最大額補地價，每呎補地價約3,193元，其後再申請放寬地積比，及改為興建中小型單位，將單位數目由原本4,930伙倍增至9,500伙。

其中屬於住宅部分的A及B地盤，將會增加106.46萬平方呎樓面，包括10多萬平方呎作為商場等的非住宅樓面，涉資約37.19億元，即平均每呎樓面地價約3,500元。而屬於高爾夫球場體育及會所設施的C地盤，總樓面面積則由近19萬平方呎增加至34.5萬平方呎，補地價約3,044萬元，以新增樓面約15.67萬平方呎計算，每呎補價約194元。

另外，位於西貢蠔涌近響鐘路、華懋旗下的住宅項目，早前亦獲批興建6幢2至3層高洋房，及5幢3至6層高分層樓宇，涉及總樓面面積約57,063平方呎。

西九藝術廣場大樓中標者分2期交租

項目落成後 採保證租金或收入分成

西九文化區首個商業項目，上月底以「建造、營運及移交」模式 (BOT) 進行招標。

西九文化區管理局副行政總裁 (區域發展) 顏金施指，藝術廣場大樓在簽訂合約後，先分兩期交租，即批出標書後第3個月、第15個月付款，實際租金收入視乎投標者一口價而定。另外，局方與中標者將成立諮詢委員會，以確保彼此在項目的主要議題上溝通。

由2025年4月、項目落成後，中標者需在每個月以保證租金或收入分成方式繳交租金，兩者以價高者為準。若以收入分成方式，局方初期會收取10%，到16年的營運期將會收取20%。

另外，她又指，為了獲得穩定的收入來源支持營運費用，項目以BOT形式公開招標。經過局方研究，並從私人發展商角度考慮後，相信34年的營運期吸引。

組諮詢委員會 就主要議題溝通

被問及項目的設計要求方面，她表示，局方將會與中標者成立由6人組成的諮詢委員會，局方及中標者須分別委任3名高層，包括1名由局方委任的主席，以確保雙方就項目的主要議題，包括設計、租務、營運等進行溝通。「我們希望可以達致雙贏，合作發展一個具代表性的大樓，而非對着幹」。值得留意的是，中標的發展商將在標書批出後與西九文化區管理局簽訂發展及營運協議，並在簽訂該協議後的30天內，成立諮詢委員會，惟亦可在局方批准下延遲成立。

西九文化區管理局上月推出藝術廣場大樓項目，以「建造、營運及移交」模式邀請發展商入標，並將於明年2月11日截標，而中標發展商將獲為期34年的發展權及營運權。

上述項目比鄰興建中的演藝綜合劇場、西九文化區管理局大樓，總樓面約70萬平方呎，分A及B地段，前者涉及藝術廣場西座及東座大樓，後者涉藝術廣場南座大樓。

管理局大樓待租3萬呎

隨着耗資逾60億元興建的西九文化區M+博物館 (下稱M+) 今年11月開幕，全區人氣大增，全球主要拍賣行之一的富藝斯拍賣行 (Phillips) 本月中旬率先進駐毗鄰M+的西九文化區管理局大樓 (下稱管理局大樓)，西九管理局副行政總裁 (區域發展) 顏金施表示，現時該廈尚餘約3萬方呎樓面待租，並有潛在租客擬承租作餐飲等用途。

富藝斯進駐設亞洲新總部

樓高16層的管理局大樓，於今年5月開幕，西九管理局總部有部分辦公室設於該廈，西九文化區管理局早已表明，將出租該廈部分樓層以增加局方的收入。富藝斯本月公布，承租管理局大樓6層共約4.8萬方呎樓面，包括3層低層的零售樓層，兩層特別為展覽設計的樓層，以及1層寫字樓樓層，作為該行於亞洲區的新總部。

顏金施指出，富藝斯進駐的樓面，除作為辦公室、展覽廳和舉辦拍賣會的場地外，亦設有咖啡室，惟她未有透露相關租金，強調租金水平「雙方都滿意」。

顏金施透露，現時該廈尚有約3萬方呎樓面面積可出租，直言M+博物館開幕加上現有的文化藝術設施，區內餐飲設施生意理想，吸引部分準租戶計劃承租區內的商業樓面作餐飲用途。

M+ owner plots next chapter for West Kowloon project, buoyed by record winning bid for Hong Kong’s Central Harbourfront site

Tenders for the Artist Square Towers Project were issued in late November.

This is the best time to launch such a project, West Kowloon Cultural District Authority executive says.

Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District Authority said the response to the HK$50.8 billion (US$6.5 billion) New Central Harbourfront Commercial Site 3 plot had boosted its confidence in inviting bids from developers to construct and operate three office and entertainment buildings.

The authority issued tenders for the Artist Square Towers Project – the first commercial district in West Kowloon – in late November, two weeks after the opening of M+, the city’s first visual-arts museum, which it owns. The tender is expected to close in February, while the approval will be granted in March or April.

“Across the harbour, Central Site 3 was a good insight for us. It turns out … a waterfront, high-quality with ease-of-accessibility project is attractive to developers,” said Wendy Gan Kim-see, the authority’s deputy CEO (District Development).

Hong Kong developer Henderson Land Development last month won a 50-year land grant for Central Site 3 for a record HK$50.8 billion, beating five contenders for the government’s “two-envelope” tender.

The response to the site came after several commercial plots of land in Kai Tak were withdrawn from sale over the past few years because of poor reception.

The West Kowloon concept aims to use stable rental income from commercial projects to support the arts and culture, Gan said. “It is time to focus on this part. We thought market sentiment was suitable. Site 3 had such a good response. So we think it is exactly the best time to launch such a project.”

The successful tenderer will be granted the development and operational rights for 34 years, and will be responsible for the design, construction, financing, marketing, leasing, management and maintenance.

The winner will have to pay the authority a regular rental income, a lump sum to be decided by the tenderer, three and 15 months after winning the bid respectively, Gan said. Tenders will be judged on the amount of such payments, calculated using a formula with the initial consideration decided by the developers.

Moreover, starting from April 2025, the winner will every month separately pay a “guaranteed rent” or share of revenue, whichever is higher, Gan said. By this time, the developer should have finished constructing the three buildings, which should be in operation, she added.

The revenue sharing ratio will be 10 per cent at the beginning, she said. In the 16th year of operation after there is income, the ratio will rise to 20 per cent. Gan’s team believes that 34 years will be enough to let the developer find the project attractive.

Located in the heart of the district, the project comprises three commercial buildings with a gross floor area (GFA) of about 65,000 square metres, about 96 per cent of which will be for offices. The rest will be allocated for retail, dining or entertainment.

The authority has already started foundation work, even before a winner has been chosen.

The authority will keep an open mind when it comes to potential tenants, Gan said, adding that it will form a consultative committee with the winner. Russian-owned auction house Phillips will rent a third of the authority’s administrative block flanking M+, including the top two floors, it said last week.

本港疫情走勢平穩，為甲廈市場釋出正面訊息。據一間外資測量師行指出，中環甲廈空置率於上月報7.4%，屬連跌6個月，並預期市況可逐步改善，料明年港島區甲廈租金上升約5%至10%。

連跌六個月

該測量師行昨日發表市場報告指出，中環甲廈空置率於今年11月報7.4%，屬連跌6個月，儘管疫市下居家工作成市場大趨勢，令寫字樓需求萎縮，惟據該行統計資料顯示，約70%以香港為總部的企業，於未來三年間均考慮增加寫字樓租用面積，證明於疫市下寫字樓仍為企業營運的重要元素。

展望來年市況，在「再中心化」的推動下，該行預計明年港島區甲廈租金將上升5%至10%，並以中環區升幅最高；至於九龍區於未來面對較大新供應，故該行預期該區於明年寫字樓租金升幅僅約2%。

至於零售市道方面，據相關統計數字顯示，本港10月零售銷售金額約307億，連升9個月，按年上升約12%，此外，截止今年10月奢侈品銷售金額為318億，較去年同期上升29.2%。

料明年租金升10%

與此同時，本地電子商務市場持續增長，與去年同期相比，今年首10個月的網上銷售金額飆升41.7%，隨着零售市場逐步復甦，該行預計整體零售租金將穩定下來，明年首季零售表現將取決於疫情發展，以及本港與內地免檢疫通關的時間。

Siu Ho Wan flats set to get green light

MTR Corporation's (0066) proposal to build 15,000 flats atop Siu Ho Wan Depot in Lantau Island is expected to receive the green light from the Town Planning Board today.

The 300,658-square-meter site will be developed in four phases. Phases one to three comprises of 56 residential buildings with a total gross floor area of 1.04 million sq m, the application showed.

The three phases will provide a total of 10,720 private flats and 4,280 public flats. The remaining site portion, or phase four, will be reserved for future expansion to provide about 6,200 public housing flats, mainly subsidized sale flats.

Also expected to win a nod from the board today is Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), who proposed to boost the number of flats of its renewal residential project at Sha Tsui Road in Tsuen Wan by 283, or 27 percent, to 1,330.

Meanwhile, in the firsthand property market, Henderson Land Development's (0012) new project in Cheung Sha Wan which offers 337 units was named The Harmonie.

The presale consent of the project was granted recently and the first price list may be released right after January 1 at the earliest, said Thomas Lam Tat-man, a general manager of the sales department.

Caine Hill, Henderson's other project in Sheung Wan, has launched another batch of 18 units after selling 26, or nearly 93 percent of the 28 units offered in the second round of sales.

The latest batch, including three studio homes and 15 one-bedroom homes, are priced from HK$5.91 million to HK$9.06 million after discounts, Henderson said.

Separately, Sino Land (0083) said it sold 1,740 flats this year, of which Grand Victoria contributed 658 flats. The developer expected to launch four new projects next year.

In other news, the vacancies of Central offices have dropped for six months in a row to 7.4 percent in November on growing demand, a report by a real estate consultancy showed.

2022 property outlook: Super-size mansions, nano flats, and home offices round out the most important trends in Hong Kong’s housing market

Mansions which cost at least HK$100 million each will become even larger in the new year, as developers aim to catch the eyes of the ultra rich from mainland China

Micro-apartments will shrink even further in Hong Kong as these diminutive abodes are the first rung of the property ladder for many first-home buyers

Hong Kong’s transactions of new residential property may rise 15 per cent next year as buyers continue their demand in every segment of the market from 138-square foot micro-apartments to 4,500-sq ft mansions on The Peak, according to one of the city’s largest real estate agencies.

Up to HK$280 billion (US$36 billion) of new homes may find buyers in 2022, marking the second year that annual transactions have risen, amid the bull run in the residential property market, according to a property agency.

With only a few days left in 2021, home seekers are eagerly looking ahead to the housing market in the Year of the Tiger.

Here are five noteworthy trends for both buyers and sellers in 2022:

1) Mansions will go supersize to attract ultra-wealthy mainland Chinese buyers

A record 129 large, luxury apartments each costing more than HK$100 million were sold in 2021 for a combined HK$31.6 billion. Developers are building even more large homes to appeal to the ultra wealthy, especially those from mainland China, with the rapid development of the Greater Bay Area.

Kerry Properties has taken the lead with supersize homes in Kowloon. The luxury builder controlled by the Kuok family of the Shangri-La Group, will release three Mount Verra mansions each measuring more than 11,000 square feet (1,021 square metres) at Beacon Hill in Kowloon Tong, according to its latest plan, without disclosing the price of the homes.

In the New Territories, five 7,000-sq ft villas are on offer at the Cadenza project in Kwu Tung by CSI Properties.

Not to be outdone, K. Wah International Holdings and Chuang’s Consortium are planning to build an eight-storey villa at 28 Po Shan Road at The Mid-Levels, with 44,388 s ft of space over eight floors, complete with a garden measuring 4,446 sq ft and another 2,197 sq ft on its roof terrace.

“The richest Chinese measure their wealth by the size of their residences in terms of mu,” where each unit of the Chinese measurement for land size is equivalent to 7,176 square feet, property consultant said. “Houses of that size will appeal to the richest on the mainland.”

The most over-the-top plan, on paper at least, may be the proposal by China Evergrande Group to build a cluster of 248 luxury villas at Wo Shang Wai near the Mai Po Wetlands in the New Territories.

The centrepiece of the project is a HK$4 billion mansion with eight bedrooms, four private lifts, gardens, a swimming pool and water displays, according to draft plans. At 240,000 sq ft, it will be as big as 180 of the biggest flats in Taikoo Shing, Hong Kong’s most popular mass-market residential project, put together. Compared with the average living space of less than 200 sq ft for every resident in Hong Kong, the size of this single mansion is unprecedented.

Evergrande paid HK$4.2 billion (US$541 million) to convert the farmland into residential use. The company, which defaulted on an offshore bond while it grapples with more than US$300 billion of liabilities, was not available to say whether the Wo Shang Wai project would proceed.

2) Flats will become smaller to help local buyers get on the property ladder

With home prices hovering near records, young Hong Kong families, fresh graduates and first-time buyers have no choice but to opt for the smallest flats that require the smallest down payments to get on the property ladder.

“Flats in urban areas will be tiny, especially those redevelopment residential projects in the city centre,” property agency said.

Known variously as micro-apartments, nano flats, or shoebox homes, tiny abodes have been all the rage in Hong Kong ever since CK Asset Holdings set the trend in motion in 2014 when its Mont Vert project in Fanling sold out in a massive success. The smallest unit, at 165 sq ft, was available for HK$1.29 million after a 15 per cent discount.

Several projects have since followed, the most recent being Chun Wo Development’s Soyo nano flats in Mong Kok, which measure between 152 sq ft and 228 sq ft, priced from HK$3.38 million to HK$5.95 million for an average of HK$24,179 per square foot. The developer had a taste of success in March when a 128-sq ft nano flat at its TPlus project in Tuen Mun sold for HK$2.35 million in the secondary market, a 52 per cent appreciation from its purchase price in 2019.

3) Covid-19 keeps people working from home, driving them further from office locations

Sino Land, one of the biggest developers in Hong Kong, said property buyers have become more tolerant of distances between their homes and the major office hubs ever since Covid-19 broke out in early 2020.

“We have clients who moved from Hong Kong Island to [Sino Land’s new project] Silversands in Wu Kai Sha near Ma On Shan as they would like to live closer to nature,” said the developer’s associate director Victor Tin. “The trend will continue in 2022 as more companies adopt work-from-home arrangements, which alter the way people live. They don’t mind moving further out for better air quality.”

4) Builders add business centres to amenities to let customers work from home

The clubhouse at Sun Hung Kai Properties’ St Martin development in Tai Po features stylish co-working space. The Townplace Soho serviced apartments on Caine Road by the same developer has what it calls “duo social space” indoor and outdoor communal areas that are designed to be work-friendly, featuring soundproof rooms for meetings and video conferences.

The recreational club at Sino Land’s Grand Central development in Kwun Tong has private rooms for residents to hold team meetings.

“We have organised more health related activities for our residents and most of them drew a good response,” said Tin.

5) Narrowing price gap between New Territories and Kowloon

The suburban nature of the New Territories, close to mainland China’s border with Hong Kong, has no longer a drawback for homebuyers, as new subway lines and stations in the area slash the commuting time with the major urban areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, a property consultancy said.

“New townships in the New Territories have enhanced the appeal of the region, most notably in retail offerings. Yoho Mall in Yuen Long is home to a number of international brands including American Eagle, Agnès b. and Aigle,” property consultant said.

Last week, Sun Hung Kai Properties released the first 206 units of The Yoho Hub residential project above the Yuen Long subway station at an average price of HK$19,899 per sq ft, about 18 per cent less than Soyo development in Mong Kok.

The price gap was 23 per cent last January when Hong Kong Ferry offered the first 112 units at Skypoint Royale in Tuen Mun for HK$15,020 per sq ft, compared Vanke released The Campton in Cheung Sha Wan for HK$19,511 per sq ft in the same month.

金鐘廊重建現曙光 最快2023年招標

道路工程昨刊憲 測量師估值逾300億

遲遲未開展的金鐘廊重建發展計劃，終漸見進展，估計當局會視乎市況，並按適用程序就金鐘廊租約作出安排，最快有機會1至2年內招標，再誕百億地王。有測量師初步估計，地皮估值逾300億元。

行政長官會同行政會議早前已授權，進行金鐘廊重建發展計劃的擬建道路工程，並於昨日刊憲。該工程包括興建兩條有蓋高架行人道，接駁添馬天橋和海富中心，及連接金鐘廊重建發展項目與海富中心，並興建地下通道連接金鐘廊重建發展項目及港鐵站等。同時，工程亦會永久封閉部分行人路及行車道，以進行改建工程。

發展局指將適時納賣地表

規劃署建議分兩部分發展，東面鄰近統一中心的地盤，佔地約6.7萬平方呎，計劃重建48層高商廈，當中38層為寫字樓，涉約86.2萬平方呎，而西面地盤 (即現有金鐘廊行人通道) 將會保留，以提供約2.6萬平方呎餐飲及零售樓面，兩地盤共提供逾100萬平方呎的商業樓面，屬中環、金鐘商業核心區規模較大的商業樓面供應。

事實上，金鐘廊重建發展計劃原定2019年展開，並最快於2023年落成，而發展局去年9月刊憲建議道路工程，惟上月發展局回應其他傳媒時指，計劃擬建的道路工程收到反對意見，並需按法例調解，局方待法定程序完成後，將會適時把金鐘廊用地納入賣地表中，惟未有實際時間表。

而政府產業署發言人回覆本報查詢時指，金鐘廊為政府物業，現由政府產業署出租作商場用途。由於有關租約內容涉及商業資料，因此不方便透露詳情。政府產業署會按適用程序就金鐘廊租約作出適當安排，以配合政府的發展及賣地計劃。

處核心區 鄰近未來沙中綫

有測量師估計，地皮有機會1至2年內推出，而參考本年推出的中環新海濱三號商業地及銅鑼灣加路連山道商業地的成交價，估計金鐘廊用地每呎樓面地價約2.8萬至3萬元，即估值介乎逾280億至300億元。

該測量師認為，項目的位置優良，因為項目位處市區核心區，而且未來沙中綫將會設有金鐘站。雖然目前未有招標細節，惟他估計日後入標財團亦需就商場下方的公共運輸交滙處等作出設計上的配合。

大埔住宅地獲八財團入標 出價趨審慎 市場估值逾16億

政府接連推售住宅地皮，大埔滘乾坑住宅用地於昨日截標，據地政總署指出，共接獲8份標書，除大型發展商外，並不乏中小型財團入標競逐，由於地皮範圍內涉及多間村屋等業權，發展上具一定難度，部分財團出價趨審慎。業內人士指出，地皮市場估值由約16億至17億，涉及金額未算太高，故吸引一眾財團入標。

地政總署指出，大埔滘乾坑住宅地 (大埔市地段第234號) 共接獲8份標書，於昨日現場所見，入標財團包括信和、華懋、遠展、佳明、建灝及漢國置業等，當中多以獨資形式競投。

多以獨資形式競投

佳明集團項目經理曾嘉敏指出，集團以獨資形式入標，該地皮周邊以豪宅物業為主，故料將發展同類物業，但由於地皮範圍內設有不少村屋，於發展上具難度，而項目亦涉及維修地皮，故對出價亦有影響。

漢國置業房地產部董事李振彪指出，集團以獨資形式入標，因項目範圍內有多間村屋，日後可能要再作收購，於開則上亦要遷就，故對出價有影響。

可建樓面22萬呎

建灝地產行政經理林綺華表示，該地皮具投資價值，集團以獨資形式競投，並因應地皮自己計數入標。

有測量師認為，入標數量符合預期，指項目位置較偏遠，同時亦涉及多方業權問題，惟受「北部都會區」帶動，令新界區成為本港未來住宅供應重鎮，料發展商以市價競投。

另一測量師表示，該地皮入標數符合預期，以本地中小型發展商為主，項目屬低密度發展，加上地勢較高，部分單位或擁海景，料興建中型豪宅及洋房，項目位置遠離交通樞紐，而中標發展商亦需負責興建及預留通道予地皮內的6個私人小地段，料相關發展條件將增加建築成本，並將在入標價上反映出來。

上述地皮為大埔市地段第234號，位於大埔公路大埔滘段，鄰近區內著名豪宅屋苑鹿茵山莊鹿怡居。地盤面積約150718方呎，可建總樓面約226076方呎，地積比率為1.5倍，料可供應超過300個面積約700方呎的中型住宅單位。市場估值約16億至17億，每呎樓面地價約7100元至7500元。

資料顯示，區內對上一幅批出地皮為由雅居樂陳氏家族於去年10月以4.51億投得，每呎地價約4478元，力壓其餘7家財團奪地。

淺水灣地估值逾九億

近期政府接連推售地皮，地政總署昨公布，將推出南區淺水灣住宅地，並於下周五起招標，據業內人士指出，該地皮屬市場罕有的豪宅用地供應，料掀各路財團競逐，市場估值約9.52億至13.72億，每呎樓面地價約5萬至7.2萬。

可建樓面逾1.9萬呎

地政總署昨公布，淺水灣南灣道地皮 (鄉郊建屋地段第1203號)，將於本月31日起招標，將為本年度最後一幅推出的住宅地，並於明年2月11日截標，該項目地盤面積約21173方呎，可建樓面約19056方呎。

有測量師指出，該住宅地皮位處南灣道上的一幅斜坡地，可步行往沙灘地皮，坐享開揚海景，屬市場罕有豪宅供應，加上項目投資金額不算高，故對大中小型發展商均具吸引力，並料本地老牌家族亦有機會加入戰團角逐，預計每呎樓面地價約6.5萬至7.2萬，市場估值約12.38億至約13.72億。

本月31日起招標

該測量師表示，該項目位處傳統豪宅地段，屬市場罕有供應，料項目備受各大發展商垂青，尤其於區內具豪宅發展經驗的發展商參與意會較高，料以興建低密度洋房作主導。

該地皮後方為由長實發展的淺水灣道90號，同時亦毗鄰由資本策略及泛海國際持有的淺水灣道92號屋地；資料顯示，本港每呎樓面地價最高的住宅地皮，為山頂文輝道9及11號住宅地，於今年2月以72.5億批出，每呎地價約50010元。

Homebuyers take up two-thirds of Sun Hung Kai’s Yoho Hub flats in Yuen Long as recovery, rate outlook underpin demand

More than two-thirds of the 325 units had been sold by 7pm local time; an industry executive expects take-up rate to surpass 90 per cent

Yoho Hub, with 1,030 units in total, is the most expensive of new developments in the Yuen Long neighbourhood

Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s biggest developer, enjoyed a brisk festive weekend home sales as signs of economic recovery encouraged buyers to pick up more than two-thirds of the units in its latest housing project.

The developer sold 220 of the 325 flats on offer at The Yoho Hub as of 7pm local time, according to property agents. The project is located in Yuen Long, New Territories, a 40-minute train ride from the city centre. The take-up rate could surpass 90 per cent by the end of the day, an industry executive said.

“That reflects good demand,” property agent said, who expects about 300 units to be sold. “The project is welcome because it’s close to the railway station and has shopping malls nearby.”

Hong Kong’s robust recovery from Covid-19 appears to have injected optimism, with the city’s unemployment rate falling to the lowest level since the pandemic outbreak in early 2020. Homebuyers also shrugged off concerns about the negative wealth effect as the stock market rebounded over the past week.

Some buyers may be bringing forward their purchases before a possible increase in borrowing costs as the US started dialling back its monetary stimulus and plotted rate increases from next year. Hong Kong conducts its policy in lockstep with the Federal Reserve’s actions.

The Sun Hung Kai project, sitting atop the Yuen Long railway station, is the most expensive for any new developments in the neighbourhood, based on the average selling price of HK$19,899 (US$2,551) to HK$21,700 per sq ft in different launch batches.

The flats available on Sunday come in sizes ranging from 325 to 1,036 sq ft, starting from HK$6.85 million to as high as HK$15.55 million, after factoring in a 12 per cent discount. The cheapest of the lots is a 325-sq ft one-bedroom unit on the sixth floor of Block One.

The entire development consists of 1,030 units in four high-rise towers. It is expected to be completed in March 2023.

The northern part of the city came into sharper focus in recent weeks after the government unveiled in October a long-term plan to develop the region into a Northern Metropolis, an area to be populated by 2.5 million residents within 20 years.

Elsewhere, supply of new homes likely has increased by 14 per cent this year to 36,919 units, according to the estimate of another property agency. Second-hand home prices fell by 0.86 per cent in October from a peak in August, the biggest monthly decline in 14 months.

While Morgan Stanley predicts that prices of lived-in houses will decline 2 per cent next year, property analysts and consultants are still upbeat. Some of the property consultancy expect prices to rise between 3 per cent and 10 per cent, citing limited supply.

受疫情等因素打擊，甲廈租賃市場陰霾密布。據一外資代理行指出，整體甲廈租金於今年下跌約5.4%，中環區跌幅為6.5%，現今市場需求疲弱，加上未來供應量偏高，料明年甲廈租金再跌約10%至15%。

中環今年租金跌6.5%

該代理行昨日發表的2021年第四季香港寫字樓租賃市場報告，該行指出，整體甲廈租金於今年下跌約5.4%，若以各區劃分，中環跌幅約6.5%，灣仔及銅鑼灣則為7.7%，港島東跌幅於各區中最高，幅度達8.1%。

預料明年將出現大量新增供應，合共400萬方呎，而至今只有12萬平方呎獲預先承租預計明年整體租金將下跌10%至15%，2022年底的租金跌幅將自高峰回落40%。

該行代理指出，由於缺乏主要需求帶動，加上供應過剩的情況將延續至明年，2022年的寫字樓租金很大機會進一步回落。

該行另一代理稱，對於新項目來說，多個樓層獲承租固然最為理想，但在首宗承租個案中訂定理想的條款亦相當重要，因為這可為該項目的租金訂下參考指標，同時有助決定租戶組合、建立商廈的品牌及市場定位。該行另一代理說，與內地通關程度，以及個別中資開發商為減省開支而退租的規模會有多大，將成為影響2022年本港寫字樓租賃需求的兩大變數。

英皇集團中心全層意向呎租35元

本港疫情走勢穩定，為工商鋪市場釋出正面訊息，部分業主亦趁勢放租。灣仔英皇集團中心高層全層，屬海景優質戶，以意向呎租約35元放租。

每月租金32萬

代理表示，灣仔軒尼詩道288號的英皇集團中心22樓全層，面積約9323方呎，意向呎租約35元，涉及月租約32.6萬。

該代理稱，今番物業位處大廈高層，享有部分海景景致，亦可遠眺馬場景，景觀怡人。

該代理指，業主可提供基本寫字樓裝修，全層物業令租客使用上更具靈活性。同時，翻查資料，今次推出的22樓為英皇集團中心罕有全層放租盤源，為該廈目前僅有全層樓面招租。英皇集團中心為灣仔區內指標商廈，企業進駐有助提升品牌形象；大廈地庫設有停車場，照顧到自駕人士需要，設備齊全，為物業提升競爭力。

該代理續稱，今番物業由發展商英皇集團持有，加上集團總部亦設於該廈，質素及管理上有信心保證。該代理指出，英皇集團中心坐落於灣仔及銅鑼灣之間，受核心商廈群包圍，周邊集中工商鋪。

另外，港鐵灣仔及銅鑼灣站都在步行距離之內，又有多綫巴士及電車路綫途經軒尼詩道。

該代理表示，是次招租物業為港島核心商業區知名商廈，加上位處高層全層，更罕有擁海景景觀。

華懋13.68億奪大埔滘住宅地 「麵粉價」一年急升35% 每呎樓面地價6051元

近年政府加快推地，以增加房屋供應，上周五截標的大埔滘住宅地，招標結果昨揭盅，由華懋以13.68億，力壓7財團奪標，每方呎樓面地價約6051元，符合市場預期，而呎價對比去年10月批出的毗鄰地皮，相隔逾一年升約35%。華懋指出，該項目計畫興建低密度獨立屋及分層單位。

大埔滘段住宅地上周五截標，當時吸引8家財團入標，昨日火速開標，地政總署公布招標結果，由華懋以13.68億奪標，每方呎樓面地價約6051元，符合市場預期。值得留意的是，是次呎價對比去年10月底批出的同區毗鄰住宅地，當時由雅居樂集團陳氏家族以私人名義斥資4.51億投得，每方呎樓面地價約4478元，換言之，是次成交樓面地價相隔逾一年高出約35.1%。

蔡宏興：續找尋合適項目

華懋集團執行董事兼行政總裁蔡宏興表示，集團十分高興參與大埔滘的發展，對本港未來充滿信心，會繼續找尋適合的項目，為香港營造智慧宜居城市。

華懋集團執行董事兼地產業務董事總經理區慶麟稱，該項目屬近年難得一遇的大型住宅用地，適合多元化發展，計畫興建低密度獨立屋及分層單位。另外，項目位處於大埔公路旁，背山面海，能夠營造宜居及舒適的住屋環境，相信對市場有一定吸引力。

地皮上周五截標時，除中標的華懋外，其餘入標發展商包括信和、嘉華國際、遠東發展、佳明集團、建灝地產及漢國置業等。

區慶麟：興建低密度住宅

有測量師指出，項目在大埔公路山上，未來白石角站還未有確切交通規劃，可能是對於這地皮的不確定性，有可能是發展商出價的考慮因素。預料項目落成後，會以低密度中型單位為主，料屆時每方呎價可售1.6萬至1.8萬。

另一測量師認為，該地盤面積對比去年批出的鄰近地皮大1.2倍，唯是次用地本身有不少瑕疵，包括山坡的地形和地塊中夾雜的私人物業等。不過該區享有遠海景，料未來將發展成為恬靜的特色小區。

測量師表示，上述大埔住宅地鄰近以低密度住宅如滌濤山、翡翠花園等豪宅為主，附近環境清靜，居住環境舒適，地皮規模不大，投資金額不高，加上市況向好，吸引不少中小型發展商參與競投，地皮內有其他私人土地影響發展，不過亦不減發展商興趣，料大機會發展成低密度豪宅的大單位。

可建總樓面逾22萬呎

大埔公路─大埔滘段的大埔市地段第234號用地，鄰近區內著名豪宅屋苑鹿茵山莊西南面，鄰近樟樹灘路，指定作私人住宅用途，該地盤面積約150718方呎，可建總樓面約226076方呎。

由於上述地盤範圍內有一些私人地及數幢村屋，據賣地章程顯示，中標發展商需負責在指定位置興建通道，預留通道予連接該私人地段及地盤以外範圍，並須負責維修和保養地皮現存的斜坡。

過去四年連奪七項目

近年華懋密密參與投地市場，無論是政府推出招標的土地、港鐵及市建局項目，均有積極參與入標競投，若連同合資項目在內，近4年來連奪7地，包括6個住宅項目，以及1個商業地皮發展。

夥希慎奪銅鑼灣商業地王

華懋對上一次奪地為今年5月夥拍希慎投得銅鑼灣加路連山道商業地皮，相隔短短半年再下一城，昨以13.68億投得大埔滘段住宅地成功吸納土儲發展。資料顯示，華懋5月中旬曾夥拍希慎，以197.78億投得銅鑼灣加路連山道商業地皮，地價為今年「第二貴」的地皮，以該項目可建總樓面107.64萬方呎計，每方呎樓面地價18374元。

除上述商業項目外，近4年來該集團連奪6個住宅項目，連同昨日投得的大埔滘住宅在內，涉及可建總樓面逾192.7萬方呎；其中於去年8月以5.3188億投得西貢蠔涌西貢公路近響鐘路住宅地，以可建總樓面約57523方呎計，每方呎樓面地價約9246元；該項目今年7月獲批建5幢3及6層高的低密度住宅，以及6幢2及3層高的洋房，主打3至4房戶為主。

另外，去年亦斥資9.128億投得市建局深水埗東京街/福榮街發展項目，以可建總樓面約10.4萬方呎計，樓面地價約8743元；該盤料最快明年第四季至2023年初推盤，唯仍要視乎項目工程進度而定。

去年奪市建東京街項目

該集團亦早於19年5月與會德豐地產、恒基、新世界、中國海外及帝國集團，共6家發展商合組的「巨無霸」財團，斥資125.9億投得啟德跑道區4C區2號住宅地發展，樓面地價約19636元，亦是華懋首次「插旗」啟德區住宅發展。

除積極購買地皮，明年亦連接有新盤推出，當中最矚目為18年12月奪得的港鐵何文田站第2期項目，單位總數約800伙，戶型涵蓋1至4房單位，主打2房及3房戶；發展商曾透露，部署今年底至明年1月前申請預售樓花同意書，爭取明年中推售。屆時該盤將是何文田站上蓋首個新盤，相信會吸引不少實力買家。

鄧成波家族沽大角嘴工廈 博富臨置業承接作價2.88億

鄧成波家族連環沽貨，由該家族持有的大角嘴中華漆廠大廈一籃子物業，採售後租回形式，以2.88億獲博富臨置業承接，原業主持貨10年帳面獲利約8200萬，物業期間升值約4成；該家族於今年以來連沽逾40項目物業，套現近105億元。

博富臨置業昨日公布，該公司以2.88億購入大角嘴雅蘭街5B號廣東道1163號中華漆廠大廈一籃子物業，包括該廈1樓至9樓及屋頂平台，總樓面約55258方呎，以易手價計，呎價約5211元；同時，交易完成後，上址除一樓外，將以月租56萬租予賣方，為期兩年。

涉中華漆廠一籃子貨

資料顯示，鄧成波家族於2011年以約2.06億購入上址，故持貨10年帳面獲利8200萬，物業期間升值近4成。

事實上，「鋪王」鄧成波於今年五月離世後，該家族連環沽售旗下物業，期間合共沽出逾40項物業，套現金額高逾105億，其中，最大宗的為屯門東亞紗廠工業大廈，作價約22.4億。近期，該家族新以1.8億沽出銅鑼灣禮頓道巨鋪，持貨4年帳面蝕讓約3500萬，物業期間貶值約16%。

持貨十年獲利8200萬

受疫情等因素打擊，鋪市陰霾密布，再錄蝕讓個案，盛滙基金以2750萬購入旺角洗衣街地鋪，呎價約2.86萬，原業主持貨5年帳面蝕讓850萬，物業期間貶值逾兩成；該基金於今年以來連購25間鋪，涉資約5.7億。

盛滙2750萬購洗衣街地鋪

鋪市再錄蝕讓，盛滙基金創辦人李根興指出，該基金最新購入旺角洗衣街111至121號地鋪，面積約960方呎，以買賣公司易手，作價2750萬，平均呎價約28646元，原業主於2016年以3600萬購入，持貨5年帳面蝕讓850萬，物業貶值約23.6%。該鋪由食肆以約4.8萬承租，料享回報約2.09厘。

李氏評論指，上述鋪位門闊約10呎、深約60呎，若中港兩地於日後可通關，料市值租金可升至10萬，屆時回報可升至4%，故成交價低市價約兩成，該鋪屬該基金於今年買入的25間街鋪，合共涉資約5.7億，計畫明年再購入35間鋪，涉資約8億，強調疫情持續發酵，惟對後市仍然樂觀，測預明年核心區鋪市整體升2至3成，民生區鋪市則升10%至15%。

Home prices decline to seven-month low

Private home prices in Hong Kong declined for two consecutive months by 1.2 percent in November from October, the lowest in seven months after reaching a record high in September, according to government data.

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said it is considering that money will not be kept by law firms anymore for home sales in the secondary market. This came after the shutdown of Wong, Fung & Co, a law firm specializing in property transactions, which led to over HK$100 million being frozen in the firm's bank account in January.

In the secondary market secretary for food and health Sophia Chan Siu-chee bought a 906-square-foot two-bedroom apartment at Baguio Villa in Pok Fu Lam, South District in November, for HK$17.8 million. Chan had to pay a 15 percent double stamp duty of HK$2.67 million since she holds multiple properties in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.

This came as the family of former Ocean Grand Holdings (1220) founder Michael Yip Kim-po sold a unit at Leighton Hill in Happy Valley for HK$169 million this month, which earned them a fourfold gain of HK$137.7 million.

Meanwhile, a property agency’s data showed an increasing number of large transactions in the Peak and South District, one of the most luxurious neighborhoods in Hong Kong.

The agency firm recorded 200 primary and secondary transactions amounting to HK$26.1 million in the area, which surged 34.2 and 46.9 percent in terms of the number and amount of transactions.

It is expected that the number of transactions will rise 20 to 30 percent in 2022.

Chinachem wins site for $1.37b

Chinachem was awarded a residential site in Tai Po for HK$1.37 billion, or HK$6,050 per square foot, which is within the market estimates between HK$950 million to HK$ 1.8 billion.

The site in Tai Po Kau covers about 150,716 square feet and has a maximum gross floor area of 226,080 square feet. It is worth noting that the land parcel includes some six privately-owned sites, and the awarded developer is required to build roads for them.

It is expected to develop into a low-rise luxury residence, which is similar to the neighboring luxury homes such as Kerry Properties' (0683) Constellation Cove and Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) Savanna Garden, a surveyor said.
