有外資代理行發布最新的香港物業市場報告指，去年12月，港島區寫字樓整體租金維持於約每呎69.5元，去年全年港島租金按年下跌8.2%。

而九龍區的寫字樓整體租金趨勢與港島區相若，但12月份，寫字樓租賃交易按月下跌40%，跟往年同期的租金變化模式相似。

自通關以來，中小型寫字樓的需求不斷增加，令共享工作空間經營商有機會受惠，大多數的寫字樓租賃查詢都來自內地企業。

展望未來，該行預期今年首季九龍區的寫字樓租賃市場將保持穩定。雖然有些企業將繼續搬遷以節省租金成本或改善營運，但相信內地通關對租戶的需求，及市場趨勢都會帶來正面的作用。

零售物業租金 料繼續受壓

另外，2022年首11個月，零售總銷貨額按年下跌1.1%，但在市場逐步復甦下，零售物業的租賃市場在今年1月逐漸恢復動力。

隨着社交距離限制的進一步放寬和入境限制的取消，該行相信零售銷貨額將在今年回升，並預計隨着內地客回歸，零售市場將出現穩定的復甦趨勢。但是，整體而言零售物業的租金將繼續受壓，下跌0至5%。

中環逾百萬呎商業樓面 料今年落成

中環新落成的甲廈項目供應罕有，而區內2個甲廈重建項目預計陸續於今年落成，單計該2項目，料提供於逾100萬平方呎樓面，環顧該區未來商廈供應，恒地 (00012) 所佔的樓面最多，涉逾200萬平方呎。

The Henderson 36層甲廈 外型破格

中環、金鐘一帶為傳統商業核心區，區內的新商業用地供應極度罕有，有價有市，故每當有地皮推出，吸引大型發展商競投，其中恒地早於2017年以約232.8億元奪得 (每平方呎樓面地價逾5萬元) 的前美利道停車場大廈項目，已發展為 The Henderson。項目為1幢36層高 (另設5層地庫) 的甲級商廈，總樓面面積約46.5萬平方呎，料於2023年落成。

項目由世界知名扎哈·哈迪德建築師事務所 (Zaha Hadid Architects) 設計，引入曲面玻璃幕牆，建築外形破格新穎，在該帶的商業建築群中相當突出。

長江集團中心二期較舊址增高18層

另外，前身為和記大廈的長實 (01113) 夏愨道和記大廈重建項目，去年亦已經正式命名為長江集團中心二期 (Cheung Kong Center II)，預計同樣於今年落成。早在1974年落成的和記大廈當年樓高23層，重建後物業樓高將增至41層，提供約185個車位，總樓面面積約55萬平方呎。換言之，兩個料於今年落成的中環全新商廈項目，將為區內新增約101.5萬平方呎的商業樓面。

值得留意的是，恒地近年密密擴展區內勢力，約於5年內已經連奪2幅中環地王。繼上述投得美利道商業地王後，恒地於2021年再以約508億元 (每平方呎樓面地價約3.1萬元) 投得中環新海濱3號用地，成交總價創下全港歷來最貴重地皮紀錄。據發展商早前透露，項目將會分2期發展，第1期將於2027年落成，包括約27萬平方呎辦公室樓面、約34萬平方呎零售、餐飲和娛樂空間；第2期涉約39萬平方呎，辦公室樓面及約60萬平方呎零售空間，將於2032年落成。

至於中環、金鐘未來潛在的大型商業地供應要數到金鐘高等法院及金鐘廊重建項目，前者總樓面高達約150萬平方呎，後者則涉近100萬平方呎。兩者除規模龐大，亦鄰近港鐵站，交通方便。此外，中環新海濱1號及2號用地亦有待批出，總樓面分別涉約17.4萬平方呎及20.5萬平方呎。

大額成交增 海富中心1.88億沽

中港兩地已經展開首階段通關，市場憧憬商業市道會進一步好轉，最近金鐘一帶亦錄得大額商廈成交。據資料顯示，金鐘指標商廈海富中心二座 15樓全層近日以約1.88億元沽出，按該層面積約10,627平方呎計，呎價約1.77萬元成交，屬低於市價成交。據了解，新買家為內企信義玻璃。

6年貶值4成

資料顯示，上述樓面原業主為上市公司，該公司於2017年以約3.18億元買入物業作為總部，不過該公司早前被停牌，並於去年3月初遭清盤，其後淪為銀主盤。若以1.88億元成交價計，該單位於6年間帳面貶值約1.3億元，虧損約41%。

另外，有業主亦看準市場好轉的趨勢而放售旗下商廈，有業主最新委託特約代理放售金鐘力寶中心一座低層單位，面積約1,495平方呎，意向價約4,000萬元，平均呎價約2.68萬元。

事實上，有物業顧問最新預計，內地通關將為香港經濟帶來正面影響，相信來自內地的企業將在港擴充或開設辦公室，料對寫字樓市場具利好作用，於今年下半年將更顯著。

More flats at Koko Hills poised to go on sale

Flats at the third phase of Koko Hills, named Koko Rosso, are expected to go on sale this month.

The development by Wheelock Properties is located near Lam Tin MTR station and Phase 3A will provide 392 one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, most of them under HK$10 million.

In the luxury market, Far East Consortium International (0035) will sell the last 26 duplex flats and four villas at Mount Arcadia in Sha Tin via tender.

Villa No 2 will open as a show unit to public from today.

The project has sold 36 homes since going on the market, cashing in a total of HK$800 million.

The developer has appointed a property agency as its sole agent. The agency said that with the border reopening, mainland investors will come to Hong Kong to purchase luxury homes.

Meanwhile, two houses on Sassoon Road in the Southern District are up for sale with a reserve price of HK$550 million.

Villa Ellenbud, a Grade III historic building which includes two houses at No 50 and No 52 Sassoon Road in Pok Fu Lam, was commissioned by the executor to be put up for tender. The site can be redeveloped into two mansions with a total floor area of 1,645 square feet.

Elsewhere, Triplex A at CSI Properties' (0497) Dukes Places at Jardine's Lookout on Hong Kong Island - a special unit with an area of 4,102 sq ft, a private garden of 2,817 sq ft and two parking spaces - was sold for HK$287 million.

And Sino Land (0083) has sold four homes at Grand Central in Kwun Tong, earning more than HK$79 million.

Hong Kong developers raise concerns over plan to build 10,700 temporary public flats in prime urban site, cast doubt on Kai Tak’s ability to handle new residents

Association representing real estate developers says it only learned about government’s plan recently and has received letters from concerned residents

According to government source, flats ‘will not obstruct’ original vision of turning Kai Tak into business hub

Hong Kong developers and a lawmaker have raised concerns about the government’s plan to build 10,700 temporary public flats on a commercial plot in a prime urban site at Kai Tak, casting doubt on the area’s ability to cope with an influx of new residents.

An association representing the city’s real estate developers on Tuesday said it would accept the government’s plan for “light public housing” as long as the arrangement was only for a short period.

“Hong Kong in fact is in need [of more housing], and we think we can compromise,” said Stewart Leung Chi-kin, the executive committee chairman of the Real Estate Developers Association. “The most important thing is to address the traffic problem.”

The group only learned of the project recently from the media and had received letters from concerned residents, he added.

The 5.7 hectare (14 acre) site in Kai Tak, which the government has earmarked as a new business hub in the long run, is among eight plots selected by authorities for 30,000 temporary flats.

The project aims to provide a short-term housing solution for residents who have been on the waiting list for subsidised homes for at least three years.

A government source said building 10,700 temporary homes at the former airport “would not obstruct” the original vision of turning the area into a business hub.

Out of the 30,000 flats, 7,400 homes in four other areas will be available in 2025, while the remaining 22,600 – including those at the Kai Tak site – will be completed in 2026. They are expected to remain in place for at least five years.

Leung explained that transport links in Kai Tak, particularly ones leading to existing upscale residential developments and hotels along the former runway, have been a long-standing concern since the government scrapped proposal for a monorail in 2020.

He said developers were worried that the wave of new residents would overwhelm the Kai Tak MTR station, but he added officials had assured him that many would take buses and the transport issue would be resolved.

Leung said developers were especially concerned about the future of a community isolation facility for Covid-19 patients located near the cruise terminal.

With 2,100 units, the Kai Tak facility began operations in August last year and currently has a mock-up flat for the light public housing scheme.

Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu on Tuesday said the isolation and treatment centres built for the coronavirus pandemic may be dismantled or repurposed after a review.

The Housing Bureau earlier said they were open to the idea of turning the centres into light public housing units.

Leung predicted developers would make “a lot of noise” if the facility in Kai Tak was repurposed. They feared doing so would clash with the area’s positioning as an upmarket residential area and undermine its appeal to land bidders.

“Repurposing that facility will ruin the entire Kai Tak area,” he said. “The government must stick to the plan it had previously envisioned.”

Legislator Kitson Yang Wing-kit, a Kowloon City district councillor, said he planned to stage a rally on February 11 to oppose the Kai Tak proposal. He predicted the project would cast a shadow over the area’s positioning as a new core business district.

The government source said community leaders would be consulted, adding the Kai Tak site did not adjoin any private residential developments and that neighbours would benefit from the amenities provided on the ground floor of the light public housing blocks.

The source on Tuesday confirmed it would cost HK$2.5 billion (US$319 million) to operate and maintain the scheme’s 30,000 units for five years. The amount is in addition to the HK$26.4 billion construction cost announced earlier.

The source said operations would be outsourced to non-governmental organisations and property management companies.

The government will make a HK$14.9 billion funding request at a meeting of the Public Works Subcommittee on February 8. A second funding request is expected to be made for the scheme before the second quarter of 2024.

新世界併購的尖沙嘴漢口大廈，新獲土地審裁處批出強拍令，底價為21.34億，最新擁有業權逾98%業權，較2019年申請強拍時大為增加，只餘下2個住宅單位尚未收購。

新世界早於19年5月申請強拍時，當時持有業權為88.6%業權，包括鋪位及多個住宅未收購，涉及被申請強拍的答辯一方多達14名，其中亦包括1個地鋪，由兆安地產李應流等持有，現時估值約3224萬，當時市場就所持有88.6%業權，估值約9.55億。

尚餘2伙未收購

隨後於過去數年來，新世界相繼收購該廈鋪位及住宅，最新已擁有逾98.2456%業權，只餘下兩個住宅單位未收購，最新就持有的業權，獲批出底價21.34億。

該2個尚未收購的住宅單位為2樓E室 (559方呎) 及8樓F室 (473方呎)，以物業現狀估值，分別為705.5萬及624.8萬，發展商於2019年3月至2022年7月期間，曾四度向餘下2個單位進行收購，最初出價1457萬及1245.5萬，唯1年後降價至1280萬及1090萬，減幅約12%。及在2022年7月，出價再次提升至1660萬及1480萬，即較最初出價高出14%及19%。

曾出價1660萬及1480萬

漢口大廈位於尖沙嘴漢口道43至49A號，現址為11層高商住樓，項目地盤面積約11565方呎，土地現規劃為商業用途，若以地積比率12.2倍發展，可重建為1幢24層高、設有3層地庫的商廈，總樓面約14.1萬方呎，每呎樓面地價約1.5萬。

佳明1.9億購堡壘街銀主地盤

北角堡壘街66號及建華街57號銀主地盤，上月初以1.9億成交，每方呎樓面地價僅約5735元，據悉，買家為佳明集團及有關人士。

上述住宅地盤位於北角堡壘街及建華街交界，地盤面積為3248方呎，以住宅商業項目地積比約10.2倍發展，可建總樓面約33130方呎。

翻查資料顯示，上述地盤早前由金朝陽持有，該集團於2018年公布，以約4.67億售予一家海外註冊公司，故該項目最新成交價對比5年前低出約2.77億，帳面貶值59.3%。

TST site approved for $2.13B compulsory sale

A site in Tsim Sha Tsui was approved by the Lands Tribunal for compulsory sale with a reserve price of HK$2.13 billion.

On the site is currently an 11-story building, Hankow Apartments, which was completed in 1959 and has a site area of about 11,565 square feet. There are commercial shops on the ground floor and the first to tenth floors are for residential use.

New World Development (0017) and other partners purchased the property and applied for a compulsory sale in 2019.

The sold ownership of Hankow Apartments has risen to over 98.24 percent, with only two units left.

The property could be redeveloped into a 24-story commercial building with a three-story basement, based on a plot ratio of about 12.2 times. With a gross floor area of about 141,000 sq ft, the rebuilt property could be valued at HK$15,000 per sq ft.

Elsewhere, a property in North Point was sold by tender for HK$190 million last month, with the price per sq ft of floor area at only HK$5,735. This deal was made about 60 percent lower than a purchase of around HK$468 million four years ago.

Previously held by Irene Au Chung-yee, daughter of Hong Kong philanthropist Au Shue Hung, the property was foreclosed last August and was later purchased by Grand Ming (1271).

The mentioned property involves a site on Fort Street and another on Kin Wah Street, with only a narrow lane in between them.

With a total site area of 3,248 sq ft, the property could be rebuilt into a residential project of 33,130 sq ft in gross floor area on the highest plot ratio of 10.2 times. But it is still uncertain whether two sites could be consolidated.

The deal comes as land prices on the Island continue to fall. A site in Kennedy Town, for example, was sold for HK$439 million last December – HK$9,500 per sq ft of floor area. The price was around 10 percent lower than the bottom range of market valuations and also marked a new eight-year low for land sales on the Island.

Meanwhile, China Resources Land (1109) agreed to pay HK$13.7 billion as premium for a Cheung Sha Wan site, the second highest ever paid for the area.

The premium per floor area amounted to HK$8,692 per sq ft, with the 1.58 million sq ft of gross floor area.

Known as Yuen Fat Godown, the site is held by a joint venture set up by China Resources and China Overseas Land (Overseas).

(The Standard)

Sino Land's five projects will offer 3,000 homes

Sino Land (0083) has joined other developers to announce its sales plans this year, saying it aims to launch five new projects offering over 3,000 homes.

The projects are Villa Garda III in Tseung Kwan O with 664 flats, Grand Mayfair III in Yuen Long with 680 flats, One Central Place in Central with 121 flats, The Southside Phase 4 in upper Wong Chuk Hang MTR station with 800 flats and the Yau Tong Ventilation Building development with 792 flats.

Meanwhile, St George's Mansions, a luxury project co-developed by Sino Land and CLP Holdings (0002), notched up two deals with a family of mainland spinning producers paying HK$190.5 million for two duplex flats.

Victor Tin Sio-un, an executive director at Sino Land, said the group sold another 55 flats in January, cashing in nearly HK$1.9 billion.

Meanwhile, Mount Regalia in Sha Tin, jointly developed by Paliburg Holdings (0617) and Regal Hotels International (0078), saw its first transaction in the Year of the Rabbit when detached house No 25 with an area of 2,576 square feet was sold for HK$68.04 million or HK$26,413 per sq ft via tender.

Separately, a property agency put the number of potential homes at 105,000 but said supply has not caught up with demand, and it would take more than three years to reach a balance between supply and demand. The agency expects prices to rebound by 8 percent this year and said it will recruit 300 new agents into its fold.

In other news, the number of mortgages for presale homes in January slumped 66 percent year-on-year to 209, while loans for completed homes tumbled over 50 percent to 5,924, according to data from a mortgage brokage service porivder and the Land Registry.

外電引述消息人士透露，新世界旗下鰂魚涌甲廈 K11 ATELIER King's Road，傳以110億放售，不過，新世界作出否認，指集團無意出售該物業，強調與投資者交談，屬於正常商業活動。

去年，新世界放售大批非核心物業，包括商場、酒店及商廈等，不過，上述的鰂魚涌甲廈 K11 ATELIER King's Road 甲廈，並沒有在放售之列。昨日，有外電引述消息人士透露，該項目的多數權益，並獲準買家洽商，新世界亦有意放售該物業，項目估值110億，提供預期達4厘回報。

傳提供預期達4厘回報

不過，新世界接受本報查詢，否認有意出售該物業，並強調與投資者交談屬於正常商業活動，無意出售任何 K11 ATELIER King's Road 股權，同時亦沒有計畫出售其他K11的物業。

K11 ATELIER King's Road 甲廈，樓高28層，總樓面約44萬方呎，目前出租率約70%，市值呎租逾40元。

該廈前身為大型舊樓吉祥大廈，新世界早於2005年項目透過代理收購，重建而成，並於2019年入伙。

觀塘 KOHO 申重建商廈

新世界持有的觀塘 KOHO，去年9月向城規會申請放寬20%地積比，以重建一幢樓高29層的商廈，可建總樓面約28.8萬方呎，最新獲規劃署不反對，城規會將於明日舉行會議審議，料「開綠燈」通過。

項目位於觀塘鴻圖道73至75號，目前屬「其他指定用途」註明「商貿」，申請略為放寬地積比率限制，以作准許辦公室、商店及服務行業和食肆用途，佔地面積約2萬方呎，項目地積比率限制由12倍，略為放寬至14.4倍，即增加2.4倍或20%，以重建一幢樓高29層商業大廈，涉可建總樓面約288002方呎。

第一集團長沙灣項目申重建

第一集團旗下長沙灣的2個相連項目，去年11月向城規會遞交新發展方案，申請重建2幢樓高29層的商廈，涉及可建總樓面合共約31.1萬方呎。最新獲規劃署不反對，城規會將於明日舉行會議審議，料會「開綠燈」通過。

新世界表示，無意出售 K11 ATELIER King's Road。

市建局觀塘「巨無霸」商業項目流標

上月截標市值約百億的市建局觀塘「巨無霸」商業項目，遭遇「滑鐵盧」，該局昨公布，收回上述招標項目，即以流標收場。業界人士指，商業氣氛不景氣，並未因通關效應而復甦，未來商業樓面供應多，財團採保守策略投地。這是繼上月赤柱環角道豪宅流標後，不足1個月再有地皮以流標收場。

該項目於去年9月合共接獲24份意向書，同年11月邀請19家發展商入標競投，惟上月僅接獲新地1份標書入標競投。市建局昨公布，該局董事會設立的招標遴選小組，經詳細審議觀塘市中心第四及第五發展區標書的入標價後，向董事會建議不接納有關標書。該局董事會認同招標遴選小組的建議，決定收回項目。

市建：擬訂項目未來發展路向

市建局發言人表示，該局董事會議決收回有關招標項目後，管理層將進行市場調查，評估未來市場需求狀況，以及聽取發展商對是次招標的意見，從規劃、發展和財務等不同層面，研究適當的方案，擬訂項目未來的發展路向。

有測量師指，現時商業樓面空置量維持較高水平，商業市道前景並未因通關效應而復甦，未來仍大量甲級寫字樓樓面新供應，市場消化速度緩慢。另外，過去一年發展商銷售新盤速度緩慢，資金回籠速度延長，故出價較低。

另一測量師表示，未來觀塘區的商業樓面供應多，出價不會太進取。估計短時間內重推的機會低。

業界：商業不景氣低價競投

有測量師期望，在通關後，經濟稍有改善，發展商能夠對未來租金增長較有信心，對項目再招標才有幫助。估計發展商考慮到資金回籠的年期，未來租務上的難度，故入標價錢稍為保守。

上述觀塘市中心第四和第五發展區項目、是該局歷來規模最大的單一重建項目，地盤面積為27.55萬方呎。當時市場估值約87億至108億，每呎估值約4000至5000元。據了解，該項目招標條款不設分紅比例，發展商需自行提出「一口價」，以價高者得決勝負；對入標財團設有資格限制，包括合資格具建築經驗的財團，資產淨值或市值不少於251億等。

宏基匯連錄3宗成交

自從政府推出「躍動港島南」政策後，黃竹坑發展成熟，近期有見市場氣氛好轉，宏基資本推售區內全新甲廈宏基匯，連環沽出3個單位，最高呎價1.5萬。

最高呎價1.5萬

有代理表示，宏基資本推售黃竹坑道23號宏基匯，建築面積由約747方呎至全層6187方呎，連環沽出3個單位，包括1205室，建築面積約801方呎，以每呎約1.3萬易手，還有，該廈高層單位，亦以每呎1.5萬售出，該廈呎數具彈性，適合不同行業進駐。

宏基匯為港島南全新甲廈，樓高27層，2至5樓作零售用途，6至29樓為寫字樓用途，大廈設計由日本六本木JERDE大師操刀，陳設別有一番風格，工作空間充滿雅致藝術氣息。物業約10.5米高的大堂，每層樓高約4.75米，部分單位更附設來去水位，16樓為空中花園，提供休閒空間。大廈提供3部載客電梯及1部消防電梯。

由宏基資本發展

該代理續稱，由該廈僅需步行5分鐘，即抵達港鐵黃竹坑站，只需約8分鐘便到達金鐘及中環等核心商業區。

外資代理行：港島甲廈呎租 全年跌8.2%

有外資代理行統計指，去年港島甲廈租金向下，跌約8.2%，預計中港通關後，整體租務市場將轉好。

據該行每月商廈租金統計，去年12月各區商廈租金變化不大，港島因租務較淡靜，中環超甲廈呎租及整體中環呎租，分別為125.5元及106.4元，按月並無起跌，其他區如灣仔、上環等亦如是。總括全年，港島區整體租金持平於每平方呎69.5元，租金按年下跌8.2%。

觀塘 The Millennity 全層 呎租28元

踏入2023年，整體甲廈租務加快，全新甲廈成租客搬遷熱點。新地 (00016) 旗下觀塘巧明街98號九巴車廠重建項目，早前命為「The Millennity」，物業2座29樓全層，面積約1.26萬平方呎，以每平方呎約28元租出。據了解，新租客為科網公司。該公司原租用同區駿業街商廈，涉及面積約7,400平方呎，是次搬遷既擴充樓面，亦可搬至全新甲廈項目作升級。

The Millennity 現已落成，比鄰港鐵觀塘站及牛頭角站。項目2座大樓各提供20層甲級寫字樓，總樓面約65萬平方呎，其基座10層為大型商場，商場佔地約50萬平方呎，規模與apm相若。目前商廈部分最大租客為積金局，租用約8萬平方呎樓面。

啟德 AIRSIDE 兩層 獲日資機構洽租

新甲廈獲洽租，去年落成大型商廈項目啟德 AIRSIDE 兩層樓面，合共逾7萬平方呎正獲洽租，呎租約35元，預計快將落實。據了解，洽租機構為日本三菱銀行集團，該機構目前租用中環友邦金融中心逾10萬平方呎樓面，預計是次洽租，將把集團後勤部分遷入啟德，而核心業務仍保留在中環。按目前友邦金融中心平均呎租約110至120元計，搬遷可大幅節省成本。啟德 AIRSIDE 為近2年最大型商業項目，去年落成，並於第3季錄首宗租務，近期則有所加快，包括高層全層，面積約3.75萬平方呎，以每平方呎約35元租出。

該行指，自內地重新通關以來，中小型寫字樓的需求不斷增加，令共享工作空間經營商有機會受惠。大多數的寫字樓租賃查詢都來自內地企業。業主除了為租戶提供租金優惠之外，其他因素如大廈的ESG評級及裝修，對於吸引或留住租戶都愈來愈重要。跨國公司，特別是銀行和金融的跨國公司的租戶需求仍然疲弱。新的工作場所策略令企業縮減所需要的寫字樓面積。在疫情後，不少企業都已經轉租或退租多餘的寫字樓面積。

九龍區方面，該行指，預期今年首季九龍區的寫字樓租賃市場將保持穩定，雖然有些企業將繼續搬遷以節省租金成本或改善營運，但相信內地通關對租戶的需求和市場趨勢都會帶來正面的作用。

由於年底租賃活動有限，整體甲級寫字樓市場在去年12月錄得116,900平方呎的負淨吸納量。同時，非核心商業區的新供應也推高整體空置率，九龍東的空置率上升至19.5%，中環及灣仔/銅鑼灣的空置率則分別微升至8.8%及10.2%。

該行代理表示，內地通關將為香港經濟帶來正面影響，大部分企業今年將會受惠。相信來自內地的企業將在港擴充或開設辦公室，預期對香港寫字樓市場的正面影響於今年下半年將更顯著。

URA withdraws mega Kwun Tong tender

The Urban Renewal Authority's mega project in Kwun Tong was withdrawn after receiving only one bid.

Upon the closing date of tender submission on January 11, 2023, the only bid received was from Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) for its Kwun Tong Town Centre Development Areas 4 & 5 project. The board of authority then rejected the tender after deliberating the submission.

As the commercial property market has declined recently, the URA has introduced "floating planning parameters" to increase adjustability and avoid bidding failures.

These parameters allow developers to flexibly allocate the floor area of commercial, office and hotel facilities, which means that the winning developer can abandon the facility's construction.

The Kwun Tong Town Centre project, which has lasted for over 20 years, is the largest single redevelopment project ever launched by the URA. It will be developed in five phases.

The now-withdrawn project is the final development space with a site area of 275,500 square feet which can be reconstructed into buildings with a total floor area of about 2.2 million sq ft.

Before the tender was closed, the valuation of the project ranged between HK$8.7 billion and HK$13 billion - or HK$4,000 and HK$6,000 per square foot - down by up to 50 percent from August last year.

When the project was launched and began to receive expressions of interest last August, the market valuation reached HK$25.9 billion.

However, due to the softening of market sentiment, the project valuation was reduced to between HK$4,300 and HK$10,000 per sq ft mid-November, representing a valuation range of HK$9.31 billion to HK$21.66 billion.

Initially, the project received 24 expressions of interest last September and the URA invited 19 developers and consortiums to bid - including Henderson Land (0012), CK Asset (1113), Sino Land (0083), China Overseas (0688), SHKP and others.

This is the second bidding case withdrawn this year. On January 10, a site in Stanley had only received four tenders but they did not reach the government's reserve price.

In other news, the Planning Department has given the green light to New World Development's (0017) project in Kwun Tong.

The site covers an area of about 20,001 sq ft at No 73 to No 75 Hung To Road and the latest plan will increase the plot ratio to 14.4 times by redeveloping it into a 29-story commercial building with a total floor area of 288,008 sq ft.

Flats at Kai Tak and Tuen Mun set to go on sale

KT Marina 1 in Kai Tak, a project that is being jointly developed by K Wah International (0173), Wheelock Properties, and China Overseas Land & Investment (0688), will be available for sale this month at the earliest.

Tony Wan Wai-ming, sales and marketing director for Hong Kong properties at K Wah, said standard units at the project will provide one to three bedrooms and two-bedroom flats account for 60 percent of the total.

Five showrooms are ready to open for view and the developers will make reference to nearby projects in pricing, he added.

The entire project totaling 2,138 flats will be developed in two phases with the first phase offering 1,017 homes.

Also expected to open sales this month is Sun Hung Kai Properties' (0016) Phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun.

The project has been granted presale consent and the sales brochure as well as the first price list will be released in the coming two weeks, the developer said.

The project provides 729 flats, 90 percent of which have one or two bedrooms. Phase 2A is awaiting presales permission and the two phases together have over 1,600 flats, it said.

In Tseung Kwan O, Nan Fung Group's project with MTR Corporation (0066) - LP10 - will soon unveil the first batch after its completion, Nan Fung said.

In the secondary market, University Heights at the Mid-Levels sold a 1,584-square-foot unit with a parking space for HK$80.8 million via tender yesterday. The developer Chinachem has raked in more than HK$1.7 billion after selling 21 units at the project.

中港兩地通關，帶動工商鋪氣氛回暖，有本地代理行資料顯示，商廈買賣顯著向好，上月錄40宗買賣，按月升66%。

金額9.01億按月升62.3%

該行代理表示，上月商廈價量齊升，共錄約40宗買賣，總金額約9.01億，按月升約66.6%及約62.3%，從商廈市況持續改善看來，證明動亂及疫情洗禮，商廈價格觸底回升。通關伴隨龐大商務需求，跨國企業購入指標商廈。長沙灣荔枝角道888號南商金融創新中心，連沽7個單位，總金額逾1.25億；其中22樓3伙獲新加坡公司購入，涉資約6325.1萬元。

鋪位交投金額按月升49%

商鋪買賣則錄57宗，較12月的71宗回落約19.7%，金額錄約21.40億，按月急升約49.7%。工廈較平穩，1月共錄約118宗成交，對比12月減少約接近一成半，成交金額則大致相若。

上月錄215宗工商鋪成交

據該行資料顯示，1月份工商鋪暫錄約215宗成交，對比2022年12月約230宗輕微下跌，今年農曆年假較以往早，減慢買家入市步伐，總成交金額走勢凌厲，1月份總成交金額錄約40.83億，對比去年12月大幅增加約35%，主因月內錄多宗大手成交，反映通關消息刺激市場氣氛回暖，資金隨之流向工商鋪物業，尤其是商廈。

代理行：工商鋪交投料按年升30%

在與內地通關效應下，工商鋪交投活躍，有本地代理行預期，今年全年工商鋪將回升至5800宗，較去年增加約30%。該行代理表示，內地居民赴港澳旅行團，相信優化措施能吸引旅客來港，重振本港零售業及旅遊業，帶動核心區地鋪，代理續指，財政預算案快將出爐，若有進一步政策，將吸引中資及海外企業來港投資及設立據點。

料全年數目達5800宗

該行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示，1月份工商鋪註冊量共錄259宗，較去年12月223宗按月升16.1%，連跌兩個月後首度回升，金額錄32.04億，按月跌約64.3%，1月份註冊個案主要反映12月份市況。

短期內未能回復疫情前水平

1月份工商鋪各板塊註冊宗數全綫上升，工廈及商鋪較佳，註冊量分別按月升約10.4%及29.2%，最新分別錄127及84宗。商廈註冊量按月升約11.6%，錄48宗。市場氣氛逐漸回暖，令註冊量增加，但投資者態度仍趨審慎，交投增長速度未明顯回升，預料整體註冊量及金額未能在短期內回復疫情前水平。

該代理又說，美國聯儲局宣布加息0.25厘，顯示加息幅度放緩，有望改善市場氣氛。代理認為，投資市場逐漸適應後疫情時代，更了解各板塊物業增長潛力及未來價值，部分工商鋪價格已累積一定跌幅，吸引投資者趁低吸納。

市建局擬為觀塘商業項目增住宅元素 改作混合模式

市建局觀塘市中心第4、5區巨無霸商業項目(總樓面面積逾216.5萬方呎)，早前因為只接獲新地 (0016) 一份標書，上周決定收回、即流標收場；市區重建局行政總監韋志成今日在網誌透露，市建局團隊希望為項目加入住宅元素，局方會以新規劃思維，因應市場對房屋、辦公室、酒店和零售等需求，將地標大樓的發展規劃，包括加入住宅元素，應對不斷變化的市場和社會環境，以配合九龍東核心商業區的未來發展，提升項目吸引力。

為衝破上述傳統「甲類」住宅項目的地積比率限制，市建局團隊認為應將第4、5發展區土地，由「商業用途」改變為「其他指定用途 (混合發展)」的發展模式，並結合「一地多用」概念，在地盤獲准發展的地積比率為12倍及「浮動規劃參數」機制維持不變的基礎上，加入住宅發展元素，讓日後的中標發展商可更靈活調撥發展樓面，作住宅、辦公、酒店和零售等不同業務。

市建局研究紐約、倫敦和東京等高密度大城市所提倡的「垂直城市」(Vertical City) 發展理念，由「二維」的橫向規劃，革新至「三維」的垂直規劃，將不同的土地用途，融合在一座高層綜合用途的地標建築物內。韋續指，市建局團隊已就「混合發展」規劃的概念，初步與相關政府部門交流，並得到正面回應；同時，市建局亦就此展開全面技術評估，特別是交通負荷的評估。

東九CBD搖搖欲墜

地產市場近日有兩單大新聞備受議論，首先是「簡約公屋」選址風波，引起啟德私樓業主群情洶湧；其次，繼赤柱超級豪宅地皮流標後，市建局旗下觀塘商業項目亦告「收回」。這兩宗新聞有其關聯，背景是本港商業活動暫時復甦乏力，甲級寫字樓空置率頗高，尤其是九龍東接近20%樓面丟空。在供過於求之下，九龍東的所謂CBD 2定位面臨重大挑戰，發展商對於斥資「起新office」難免非常審慎。

自從2019年爆發社會運動及新冠疫情，本港經濟活動嚴重受創，商業地產租賃市場首當其衝。據一間外資代理行研究報告，截至去年12月底，本港甲級寫字樓整體空置率達12.1%，整體租金水平較2019年高峰期下滑接近三成。其中，中環、港島東、九龍東的空置率分別達8.8%、11.1%、19.5%。

作為比較，在2019年風風雨雨刮起前，本港甲級寫字樓整體空置率長期低於4%，尤其是中環寫字樓極之搶手，影響到一些大企業擴張受限制，部分公司遂把總部或個別部門辦公室搬到港島東，隨後又進一步遷徙到九龍東。正因如此，港府才在大約十年前提出CBD 2大計，擬把啟德新區至觀塘重建區一帶打造成本港第二核心商業區，為經濟活動提供更多空間。

全面通關 甲廈未必即受惠

這3年多香港發生巨變，如今連中環寫字樓也「十室一空」，地標商廈大業主需要大幅減租留住客戶，部分企業更趁機由港島東「回流」到中環，作為「核心外圍之外圍」的九龍東商廈，面臨更大挑戰。

本港與內地今日起全面通關，初期料將帶挈商舖、商場等零售物業回暖；反觀甲級寫字樓主要用於企業營運，暫時未必立竿見影受惠。對於香港作為「亞太營運總部」之前景，其中一個參考指標是外籍人員派駐香港數量。資料顯示，入境處去年根據一般就業政策批出13495個工作簽證，較2019年勁減63%，創逾20年新低。有國際獵頭公司指出，看不到外籍僱員「大量回流」跡象，因為「這幾年離開香港的外派員，大部分已在其他地區開展生活，料不會回港」。

同時值得留意，近年WFH (居家工作)、遙距辦公等模式興起，全世界商廈需求都有機會受到一定影響；但有別於紐約、倫敦等其他商業中心，香港還面對傳統定位備受動搖、企業及人才流失等因素困擾，堪稱多重打擊，商廈前景難以樂觀。

短期而言，「核心中核心」的中環CBD料仍可保持繁榮，九龍東則尚欠利好因素。基於寫字樓供應明顯供過於求，無從說服眉精眼企的發展商斥資興建「純商廈」項目，潛在回報與風險不容易「計得掂數」。所以港府早前已把啟德5幅商業地皮改劃為住宅用途，該區仍有大量空地用於商業規劃，料將繼續「曬太陽」一段時間。既然如此，當局擬順手借其中一幅空地發展「簡約公屋」，提供逾萬伙單位，並承諾7年後「還地於區」，背後邏輯可以理解。

此外，市建局旗下觀塘市中心第四及第五重建區商業項目去年邀請19家發展商入標，市場估值約87億至130億元，結果只收到「一千零一份」標書，來自區內「大地主」新地 (00016)；其餘18家發展商「連入標都慳返」，反映業界整體上興趣缺缺。但市建局上周宣布，在全面考慮入標價格及市場數據等因素之後，決定不接納唯一一份標書，即是流標收場。

觀塘項目混合發展增吸引力

市建局行政總監韋志成昨日透露，將會收回觀塘項目，用「新思維」重新規劃，革新發展模式，包括把項目定位由「商業用途」改變為「其他指定用途 (混合發展)」，「加入住宅元素，應對不斷變化的市場和社會環境」，以提升項目吸引力。由此可見，觀塘市中心純商業項目再沒多少吸引力，不得不像啟德般，把部分樓面改劃作住宅用途。

總的而言，九龍東CBD 2亦可說是本港經濟之縮影，假若企業及人才流失趨勢未能逆轉，「亞太營運總部」定位失色，不但啟德、觀塘的甲級寫字樓陸續丟空，本港整體經濟亦難奢望重拾當年勇。繼推出「Hello香港」吸引遊客大計後，特首李家超馬不停蹄，現正出訪沙地阿拉伯，努力「說好香港故事」。且看特首能否說服一批中東企業來港投資或上市，不妨考慮選址九龍東設立營運總部，讓啟德有機會變身「遠東杜拜」，啟德業主們相信會歡迎酋長和油王做鄰居。

Commercial deals jump in value

The value of commercial property transactions in Hong Kong surged by 35 percent month-on-month in January to HK$4.08 billion as sentiment improved following the reopening of the border with the mainland, according to a property agency.

This was even though the number of deals in January fell 6.5 percent to 215, mainly due to the Chinese New Year holidays at the end of the month.

The property agent expects the commercial market to further recover, with Covid PCR test requirements and quotas for cross-border travel scrapped from today.

Turnover from commercial buildings soared 62 percent monthly to HK$901 million from last December, and the number of transactions jumped 66 percent to 40 in January, though both were still below the levels seen a year ago.

The agency believes prices of commercial buildings are rallying, amid a surge in business activities following the border reopening.

A new tower, NCB Innovation Centre in Cheung Sha Wan, for example, sold seven car-parking lots for over HK$125 million, as well as three flats on the 22nd floor to a Singaporean firm for HK$63.25 million.

Meanwhile, shops transactions rose about 50 percent to HK$2.14 billion from a month ago, despite a 19 percent fall in deals to 57.

Turnover for industrial buildings remained flat while the number of deals fell 15 percent to 118.

Kwun Tong center redevelopment will now add residences

The Urban Renewal Authority plans to introduce residential elements into its Kwun Tong Town Centre Development Areas 4 & 5 project, whose tender was canceled last week after the only bid from Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) was rejected.

Managing director Ir Wai Chi-sing said in his blog that in line with the future development of the Kowloon East central business district, the authority decided to introduce residential housing into the project to enhance its attractiveness.

The residential area will be built above the hotel, office and shopping areas.

Wai said that if the site is granted in a depressed market, the project will suffer a serious financial loss and hurt the resources for future urban renewal projects.

Besides, the project involves the acquisition of more than 400 private homes and disposing of over 100 unauthorized structures, which was a huge expenditure.

The site of Kwun Tong Town Centre is strategically located adjacent to Kwun Tong MTR Station and Yue Man Square Public Transport Interchange and the URA said its role as a "town center" in terms of traffic, logistics and economic activity will not change.

The URA's revenue has been significantly reduced amid the housing market downturn.

Its To Kwa Wan Road/Wing Kwong Street development scheme was awarded last October at a price of HK$9,200 per square foot, 33 percent lower compared to the Hung Fook Street/Ngan Hon Street development project which was tendered in late 2021 at a price of HK$13,700 per sq ft.

URA estimates the tender for future projects will be under pressure as the acquisitions for the sites were done when property prices were high.

Luxury home sales surge amid reopening

The number of transactions of new luxury homes costing more than HK$50 million hit a 16-month high last month and weekend transactions in 10 major housing estates reached a three-week high as the border reopening with the mainland and slowing interest rate hikes fueled the market.

A total of 503 new home sales were recorded last month, which was up by 87 percent from December and the highest in four months, according to a property agency. Among them, homes priced over HK$50 million saw 41 transactions, up by nearly 2.2 times to a new high in 16 months, the agency said.

The momentum in the upscale home market is expected to sustain as the economy picks up.

Yesterday, Kerry Properties (0683) sold a 1,699-square-foot luxury home with a parking space at Mont Rouge on Beacon Hill in Kowloon Tong for HK$70.3 million, or HK$41,376 per sq ft via tender.

Only four flats are left for sale and the developer has collected over HK$6.5 billion from selling 41 homes at an average price of more than HK$60,000 per sq ft at the project.

In the mass market, Minmetals Land's (0230) Montego Bay in Yau Tong sold a 517-sq-ft flat with two bedrooms for HK$12.77 million, or HK$24,700 per sq ft, the highest at the project in more than one year.

In Fo Tan, Centralcon Properties will launch sales of 389 completed flats at The Arles, including 306 flats on price lists and 83 homes via tender on Thursday.

In Cheung Sha Wan, Seaside Sonata saw 300 groups of home viewers over the weekend after slashing prices of 10 flats on the last price list by as much as 16 percent to attract buyers, the developer CK Asset (1113) said.

The remaining 22 flats, including 12 flats to be sold via tender will be put on the market on Friday, it said.

In the secondary market, A property agency saw a three-week high of 22 home sales in 10 major housing estates over the weekend, up by nine deals or 69.2 percent from a week ago.

The market is on track for recovery after the Chinese New Year holiday and some buyers had to raise their bidding prices to clinch a deal, an agent said.

The agent expects both the transaction prices and volumes to increase this month.

However, a luxury apartment with a parking space at Mount Nicholson on the Peak recently sold for HK$390 million with the vendor suffering a loss of HK$139 million or 26 percent after buying it for HK$520 million in 2018.

力寶中心低層單位叫價4000萬

有代理行表示，金鐘力寶中心一座低層單位，面積約1495方呎，意向價約4000萬元，呎價2.68萬元，可交吉或連租約放售。

該行指出，放售物業屬於罕有對正升降機大堂，並享有海景，而大樓地庫及物業附近亦設有充足泊車位，也令物業租金看高一線。

山頂MOUNT NICHOLSON 4年蝕1.4億

二手樓市交投氣氛雖然有所改善，但市場仍錄大幅蝕讓個案。「亞洲樓王」山頂MOUNT NICHOLSON剛錄二手成交，短短4年多大幅蝕讓近1.4億元，夠買近30間沙田第一城的上車盤。不過，市場人士強調，超豪宅蝕讓僅屬個別事件，而且是原業主資金鏈斷裂，不代表豪宅市場出現問題。

4596呎分層戶 3.9億連車位售

資料顯示，山頂MOUNT NICHOLSON D座中層的一個分層單位，實用面積4,596平方呎，原業主2018年10月以5.199億元購入，實用呎價約11.3萬元，並在2021年再以900萬元增購一個車位，總成本增加至約5.29億元。單位剛登記以3.9億元連車位售出，4年間帳面蝕讓約1.4億元，若連購入單位的釐印費 (約2,210萬元) 計，估計實質蝕讓逾1.6億元，屬於近年最大宗蝕讓個案，現時沙田第一城的兩房上車盤一般市價約400萬至500萬元，單是帳面蝕讓的金額，已經夠買接近30間上車盤。

區內代理指出，原業主為具內地背景的新港人，近期資金鏈斷裂，去年9月開始放盤，一直叫價4.8億元放售，最終累減9000萬元沽出單位。至於新接貨的買家，據知亦屬於普通話拼音名字，但據土地註冊處資料顯示，新買家是次以首置身份入市，僅支付1,658萬元印費稅。

另外，掃管笏上源2B座中層J室，實用面積738平方呎，3房套房間隔，剛以約803萬元成交，實用面積呎價10,879元。原業主於2018年10月以851萬元購入上址，持貨至今手，帳面蝕48萬元。

2022年投資市場受加息影響，下半年轉弱。有外資代理行認為，息口加幅漸放緩，料各路資金將部署入市，下半年投資市場明顯向好。

美國聯儲局一如預期日前加息0.25厘，聯邦基金利率升至介乎4. 5厘至4.75厘，為今年內第8次加息，累計加息已達4.5厘。該行代理指，去年投資市場下半年開始轉弱，主因息口向上，「H按由去年不足1厘，加上目前近5厘，對投資市場有一定衝擊，令投資市場交易量跌至10年來最低水平，而成交額按年下跌4%至700億元。」

對於今年市況，該代理認為，香港是次未有跟隨加息，而美國有機會加多兩次，香港亦沒有跟隨，上半年息口見頂，對投資市場有利，「下半年不加息亦不等於快減息，若下半年橫行，可以給市場清晰前景，就是息口見頂，好讓投資者部署入市。」

代理：大額買賣將理想

此外，代理指去年中港兩地相對嚴謹的檢疫措施導致商用物業租金水平受壓，而現時中港通關，經濟可望向好，「通關顯示逐步復常，預計第二季左右，本港經濟向好，投資氣氛將顯著改善。」該代理強調，投資者向來較為早着先機，會提早入市，「現階段息口相對較高，投資物業回報率或欠吸引。投資者會預計經濟轉好，憧憬工商物業租售價向上，便會開始入市，料下半年大額買賣將理想。」

該行數據顯示，去年700億元成交中，工商舖三項範疇上，以工廈表現最佳，佔成交金額約26%，事實上，近兩年工廈買賣表現均理想，大型物流中心、貨倉等相繼獲基金承接。

代理指，2021年工廈成交及買賣，分別涉57宗及285億元，2022年明顯下跌，「疫情令工廈受捧，惟投資者追捧下，回報率開始下降，投資者會開始留意其他板塊；現時通關下，更留意商舖及商廈。」該代理認為，與旅客相關的舖位及酒店，均值得留意。舖位是率先看好，因社運至疫情，舖位受打擊最大，旅客逐步重返，在租售價大幅調整後，投資價值出現。同時間，旅客重返意味酒店入住率高，亦有利投資。

至於寫字樓方面，代理認為新供應達數百萬呎，無疑數量高，但集中於非核心區，「與內地通關後，會有需要擴充，始終內地人才、公司，部分資金希望在港建立一個據點。香港為中國以至全球重要金融城市地位不變，故商廈需求同樣向上。」

尖東新文華中心 合中小用家

尖東新文華中心位於區內核心地段，交通極為便利，而單位面積由數百平方呎起，適合中小用家。

新文華中心在80年代初落成，屬尖東區內其中一幢地標商廈，而尖東主要商廈包括康宏廣場、永安廣場、東海商業中心等，新文華中心最大優點是設於尖東百周年紀念花園旁，屬於尖東區最多人流的地段。同時坐享港鐵站優勢，由紅磡、尖東及尖沙咀港鐵站行至該廈，約10至15分鐘步程。

值得一提，港鐵屯馬綫及東鐵綫過海段相繼通車，紅磡站成為主要轉車站，尖東新文華中心更加方便，加上鄰近紅隧交通交滙處，方便上班人士出入。

單位最細數百平方呎

大廈由A座及B座組成，物業樓高13層，辦公室樓層由3樓起，每層樓面約1.99萬平方呎。物業開則呈正方形，間隔亦實用，大部分單位屬長形。以A座標準間隔為例，每層設有20個單位，位於每層四角的13、8、3、18室，擁多邊窗，視野相對開揚，惟單位近出入口設有小玄關位置。物業最細單位由數百平方呎起，正適合中小型公司使用。

景觀方面以A座較為優勝，其中向百周年紀念花園單位，主要分布於1至3、及18至20號，可望園景及噴水池景，屬最優質單位。

另B座部分單位，可望紅隧及紅磡方向，感覺開揚。至於其他單位，主要望區內市景及樓景。

成交方面，近兩年受疫情影響，該廈呎價回落至約9,000至1萬元，大廈去年錄2宗買賣，包括4月份A座高層17室，面積約769平方呎，以約792萬元易手，呎價約1.03萬元，另去年10月，A座低層05室，面積約830平方呎，以約750萬元易手，呎價約9,036元。

中層1915呎單位放租 每呎25元

尖東新文華中心享地理優勢，現物業中層近2,000平方呎單位放租，意向呎租約25元。

提供基本裝修 意向4.78萬租

有代理表示，有業主放租尖東新文華中心8樓12室，面積約1,915平方呎，單位意向月租約4.78萬元，呎租約25元，單位提供基本裝修。代理指出，以叫租約25元計，屬大廈目前放租盤最便宜，故有一定吸引力。

新文華中心單位多，租務成交頗旺，去年11月錄兩宗租務，其中A座中層05室，面積約977平方呎，成交呎租約27元。另今年亦錄兩宗租務，包括A座極高層19室，面積約930平方呎，成交呎租約28元。

同區商廈租務方面，指標甲廈康宏廣場上月錄租務，包括低層01室，面積約1,158平方呎，以每平方呎約30元租出。

商廈去年781宗成交 按年跌4成

有代理指出，總結2022年全年，商廈整體買賣登記僅錄得781宗，較2021年的1,299宗急挫40%，跌至歷史次低，是繼2019及2020年後第3次史上不足千宗的低潮年。

以價格類別劃分，中細價商廈仍是去年買賣登記的主流，當中以介乎200萬元至500萬元以內價格類別的商廈佔比較多，全年錄得238宗，佔了整體商廈成交量逾3成。另外，銀碼介乎2,000萬至5,000萬元以內的登記量則錄得最大跌幅，挫61%，至只有69宗。至於去年7個價格類別的商廈買賣宗數之中，只有1億元或以上者出現逆市上升，去年共錄49宗登記，按年大增40%，主因去年5月有一幢全幢商廈 (英皇道1111號 (前稱太古城中心一座) ) 疑似內部轉讓是以分層拆細形式登記，故抽升了逾20宗逾億元的登記個案。

今年買賣估達1200宗

從地區層面分析，在該行定期觀察的11個主要商業區中，2022年登記量全綫下跌，當中跌幅最大者為長沙灣區，全年只錄得30宗登記，按年急挫85%；其次葵涌區亦跌83%，至5宗登記；而沙田區亦急跌73%至12宗，反映一些廠區商廈在疫情之下亦大受影響。另一方面，2022年最貴重的商廈登記個案除了前述3項巨額轉讓外，接着最矚目的登記為啟祥道17號全幢 (前稱高銀金融國際中心) 涉資的56億元，再者是彌敦道74至78號文遜大廈的近15.34億元，亦因此帶動全年總金額得以創下歷史新高。

展望2023年，該代理表示，中港恢復通關對商廈市場來說是極大的喜訊，隨着內地企業重返香港擴展業務，商廈買賣及租賃需求勢必大升。內地資金來港，其中很大部分都喜歡投放在商廈市場，加上引入人才計劃，及經濟重踏復甦之軌，令企業擴充樓面、甚至轉租為買的意慾大增。代理預期2023年商廈市道將明顯轉向樂觀，因為香港將再次肩負起連接海外及中國內地市場的角色，相信今年商廈買賣登記宗量將在低基數下大升逾5成 (54%)，料達1,200宗的水平。

Hong Kong property developers, led by Sun Hung Kai, K Wah, rush 27,000 new homes to market as sales uptick stokes hopes

Developers will launch around 36 developments with 27,350 homes this year, according to the Post’s calculations

An increase in transactions and stabilising interest rates have developers expecting a return to normalcy after sales fell 41.3 per cent in 2022

Hong Kong’s major property developers are rushing to put more than 27,000 new homes on the market this year, seizing on an uptick in buying sentiment and transaction volume after the relaxation of anti-pandemic measures and the reopening of the border with mainland China.

At least 14 developers, including Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), Henderson Land Development, New World Development, Sino Land and K Wah International, plan to launch some 36 developments with around 27,350 homes this year, according to the Post’s tracking of sales plans revealed in late January and early February.

The pressure of high interest rates on the property market will gradually diminish, said Victor Lui Ting, deputy managing director at SHKP, Hong Kong’s biggest developer by market value.

“In the past month, home prices in the local second-hand market have picked up, and the turnover of first-hand transactions is even more active than before,” he said, adding that home prices are expected to see a mild increase of 5 to 10 per cent this year.

Six major lenders, including HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, Citibank and Standard Chartered, said on February 2 that they would keep their prime lending rates unchanged after Hong Kong’s monetary authority raised the city’s base rate by 25 basis points in lockstep with an increase by the US Federal Reserve.

In addition, the Hong Kong interbank offered rate – the interest banks charge each other for borrowing money – has dropped by half in the past two months, Lui added.

In January, new home sales jumped 54.9 per cent over December to 350, although this fell short of November’s 371, according to a property agency.

SHKP expects to launch phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun, with 729 flats, in February and University Hill in Tai Po, with 746 flats, around Easter.

K Wah International appears to have the biggest sales plan, as it is involved in five projects with other developers, with 8,072 homes set to hit the market.

The total of 27,350 includes developments in the Kai Tak area, where a government plan to erect temporary public housing, as well as its decision to reduce office space in the area and scrap a planned monorail, have adversely affected public perception of the area’s prospects.

New-home sales fell 41.3 per cent year on year in 2022 to a nine-year low of 10,261, according to the agency, which expects a recovery to a normal level of around 18,000 this year.

New homes had the worst performance among all property categories in 2022 according to another agency, as overall property transactions nosedived 38 per cent to a 32-year-low of 59,619, according to the first agency.

The difficult market prompted the total number of property agent licences to sink to a 23-month low of 40,807 in January, according to data from the Estate Agents Authority.

SHKP sold 3,053 new homes last year, the most among all developers, bringing in HK$24.76 billion (US$3.16 billion), according to the agency. Sino Land was next with 2,248 homes worth HK$23.03 billion.

About two-thirds, or 14,104, of the private homes completed in 2022 have been sold, according to the agency – a sales ratio lower than the usual range of 70 to 80 per cent in previous years.

To be sure, the market is not completely rosy. Notably, CK Asset cut prices last week for 10 remaining flats at Seaside Sonata in Cheung Sha Wan by 10 to 16 per cent, or as much as HK$2.4 million “because of market correction”.

The developer wanted to finish the sales effort and believes market recovery will take time despite the border reopening, it said, adding it wanted to use a reasonable price to proactively drive sales amid keen competition.

Meanwhile, the luxury segment could suffer a price decline of 5 to 10 per cent in 2023, given looming recession risks in the United States and European Union economies, elevated interest rates, and “punitive” measures on residential-property transactions, another agency warned in a report on Monday.

“For a long time, demand for luxury units by non-locals has boosted and extended support to luxury home prices,” an agent said. “However, the economic headwinds in mainland China and continued difficulties and hindrances in the expatriation of funds to offshore markets could result in less buying intentions and more selling pressure in the luxury sales market.”

For example, in the fourth quarter of 2022, homes at Mount Nicholson on The Peak and 39 Conduit Road in Mid-Levels were sold by mainland Chinese for HK$500 million and HK$378 million, resulting in estimated losses of HK$134 million and HK$39 million, respectively, the agency said, citing media reports.

長沙灣南5項目 重建7927伙住宅

長沙灣過往屬傳統工業區，但近年正加速轉型，當中南面、近港鐵南昌站一帶不少工廈、貨倉等正重建成住宅發展，目前區內有5個重建項目，估計將可提供逾7,900伙公、私營房屋。

長沙灣工業區若果以荔枝角道作為分界，北面長沙灣道、近港鐵荔枝角站一帶，近年正在轉型成為商貿地區，不少舊式工廈均在重建、翻新成為新商廈。至於荔枝角道以南，由泓景臺至東京街、深旺道一帶，當年有不少船廠、貨倉林立，亦成功轉型成為住宅區，當中泓景臺、昇悅居等大型屋苑前身亦為船廠用地，區內私樓星匯居亦是由工廈重建而成。

公私營各佔一半

目前長沙灣南部至少有5個住宅項目正在發展，涉及單位約7,927伙，公、私營房屋大約各佔一半，不少前身亦屬工廈或貨倉，在重建後將會令該區煥然一新。

潤發倉庫住宅樓面148萬呎 另設商舖

當中位於發祥街的嘉里鴻基貨倉、潤發倉庫，現時屬於綜合發展區規劃，早於1998年已提出，並曾經在2000年獲批准重建，但再改方案將分為2個地盤進行重建，總樓面超過約200萬平方呎。而由華潤置地 (01109) 夥母公司華潤集團合作的潤發倉庫，則在較早前公布跟政府達成換地協議，並會補地價約137.3億元，將現有貨倉重建成大型商住項目，總樓面面積達158萬平方呎，每呎樓面補地價約8,692元。當中住宅佔逾148萬平方呎，將提供約2,500伙，另設10萬平方呎的非住宅樓面包括商舖。

隨着潤發倉庫落實補地價，預計對於旁邊的嘉里鴻基貨倉重建起帶動作用。嘉里鴻基貨倉由新地 (00016) 、嘉里 (00683) 合作發展，預計重建後總樓面約46萬平方呎，將可提供逾1,000個單位。另外，由東方石油持有的東方石油大廈，亦在多年前獲批重建成2幢樓高39層住宅，將提供約694個中、大型單位。

除了私樓之外，房委會亦在區內有不少公營房屋項目，當中屬於近年宣布收回重建的宏昌工廠大廈，將以最高地積比率9倍發展2幢住宅，提供約1,200個單位，預計容納約3,240人，料2030或2031年落成。

基金斥8.5億購長沙灣全幢工廈

長沙灣荔枝角道以北一帶，近年轉型成商業區，吸引不少基金注意，當中私募基金黑石 (Blackstone) 以約8.5億元購入區內工廈全幢；而新加坡基金則以近31億元購入永康街商廈地盤一半權益。

黑石夥迷你倉集團建商廈

黑石於去年10月購入的永新工業大廈全幢，上址位於荔枝角道850至870號，物業樓齡約45年，地盤面積約1.51萬平方呎，現有樓面約15萬平方呎，由黑石夥迷你倉集團合資入市，以購入價約8.5億元計算，平均呎價約5,700元。

據資料顯示，該地盤曾申請將地積比率提高至14.4倍重建，興建1幢26層高 (包括4層地庫) 的商廈，作為寫字樓、食肆、商店及服務行業用途，總樓面涉約21.5萬平方呎。

至於新世界 (00017) 持有的永康街項目，亦在去年9月底沽出51%權益出售予新加坡基金Ares SSG Capital Management，作價近31億元。上址地盤正重建成1幢商廈，可售面積約27.5萬平方呎，將於今年落成。而新世界將負責興建、管理及銷售該項目。

One Innovale at Fan Ling poised to restart sales

One Innovale-Bellevue, the second phase of One Innovale in Fan Ling, is poised to restart sales.

The developer Henderson Land (0012) plans to sell 82 flats in phase 2 of One Innovale-Bellevue at prices ranging between HK$3.33 and HK$7.01 million.

From this Saturday, 82 flats on price lists will be available at an average price of HK$14,883 per square foot after discounts.

The 82 flats on offer come from previous price lists and include studio to three-bedroom units with areas ranging from 228 to 501 sq ft.

The prices, discounted by up to 7 percent, range from HK$3.33 million to HK$7.01 million, or HK$13,681 to HK$16,172 per sq ft.

Of the available units, the most affordable is flat 12 on the first floor of Tower C, which is a 228-sq-ft studio with a discounted price of HK$14,611 per sq ft.

The best value for price per sq ft is flat 18, a two-bedroom apartment on the same floor, with a discounted price of HK$13,681 per sq ft and an area of 477 sq ft, amounting to about HK$6.52 million.

Since its launch in September last year, One Innovale-Bellevue has sold 297 flats, making up 73 percent of the total 408 units in this phase and bringing in more than HK$1.5 billion in revenue for Henderson Land.

Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties' (0016) Victoria Harbour project in North Point will launch a tender for six four-bedroom units in Tower 5 on Saturday.

The six flats have areas ranging from 1,488 to 1,602 sq ft and feature a private lobby with a lift.

In other new projects, The Vertex, a project by Twin City Holdings in Cheung Sha Wan, recorded six deals in the first three days of sales by tender.

The average sales price was more than HK$22,222 per sq ft, earning the developer a total of HK$51 billion.

In the commercial market, a 500-sq-ft shop on Prat Avenue in Tsim Sha Tsui sold for around HK$45 million or HK$90,000 per sq ft, along with a lease contract.

The seller lost more than HK$8 million after purchasing it in 2018 for over HK$53 million, with the shop's value depreciating by more than 15 percent over the four-year period.

長實會德豐新地競投 估值39.4億起

屬於未來大型住宅供應來源之一的港鐵 (00066) 大嶼山小蠔灣項目第1期昨日截標，僅接獲3份標書，主要吸引大型發展商入標，標書數目亦屬港鐵項目約8年來最少。業內人士認為，這反映發展商投地時充滿戒心，尤其大型項目。

項目於昨日下午2時截收標書，港鐵公布，項目昨共接獲3份標書，港鐵公司將詳細考慮收到的標書文件，並於稍後公布招標結果。

去年接獲33份意向書

據昨日現場所見，有3個財團到場入標，包括長實 (01113) 、會德豐及新地 (00016) 。事實上，項目於去年12月時，共接獲33份意向書，反應相當不俗，惟是次入標的反應則明顯轉淡，僅接3份標書。資料顯示，是次接獲的標書數目，屬於2014年4月同屬港鐵項目日出康城4期後最少，當年標書數目同為3份。

會德豐地產物業發展高級經理何偉錦表示，集團是次獨資入標，鑑於項目屬於新發展區，而集團在日出康城亦有發展經驗，看好小蠔灣項目未來發展潛力，又指出價已經考慮各類因素。對於近期發展商投地時出價較低，亦有地皮接連流標，他就認為這反映目前市況。

業界指項目規模大 有戒心

有代理認為，是次招標反應符合預期，因為項目規模大，屬於長綫投資，加上目前樓市充斥不利因素，發展商投地時十分有戒心。該代理又直言，目前土地供應量大大增加，對於壓低樓市可謂「萬試萬靈」。

有測量師表示，鑑於項目屬於港鐵項目，一般而言較其他遠離鐵路站的流標風險低，但若不幸流標，會影響日後項目其他期數的招標進度及短期內的政府土地招標反應，對後市影響頗深遠。

是次招標項目的總樓面達約131.3萬平方呎，截標前市場估值約39.4億至60億元，每平方呎樓面地價約3,000至4,570元。

市建西營盤項目中標價高次標22%

去年底由長實以11.61億投得的市建局西營盤皇后大道西/賢居里項目，該局昨日公布其餘6份落選標價，出價介乎7.08億至9.5億，呎價約5826至7817元，而中標價較次標高出約22.2%，可見長實出價進取。

該項目在去年11月底共接獲7份標書，市建局於同年12月中旬批出項目發展權，最終長實以11.61億力壓6財團奪得項目，當時每方呎樓面地價約9554元。市建局以不具名方式，公布其餘6份落選標價，首兩標出價已見差距，其中次標出價約9.5億，與中標價相差約2.11億，樓面呎價則約7817元，首標較次標僅高約22.2%。

次標出價9.5億

緊隨其後為9.08749億，與中標價相差約27.8%；同時有4標出價不足9億，當中最低入標價僅7.08億，與中標價相差約4.53億，差幅達約64%，樓面呎價僅約5826元。

市場消息指出，項目售樓收益達35億，中標財團便須與市建局分紅，固定分紅40%，若以項目總樓面約12.15萬方呎計，相當於每方呎售價約2.88萬便需要分紅，對比今年8月批出的崇慶里/桂香街發展項目當時每方呎售價逾3.16萬便需要分紅為少。

另外，發展商亦需向市建局自行提出「一口價」建議，將成為勝負的關鍵。該項目設有限呎條款，住宅單位面積不得少於300方呎，同時規定至少一半的單位面積不可超過480方呎。

項目位於皇后大道西129至151號，鄰近港鐵西營盤站。市建局2018年3月展開上述項目，並於2019年8月以實用面積每方呎24051元向小業主提出收購價建議。項目地盤面積約1.69萬方呎，可建總樓面約12.15萬方呎。

Oyster Bay gets only three bids

MTR Corporation (0066) received only three bids for phase 1 of its Oyster Bay/Siu Ho Wan property development - lower than market expectations - when the tender closed yesterday.

CK Asset (1113) and Wheelock Properties were two of the bidders.

Wheelock said it remains positive about Oyster Bay's potential and has taken the recent withdrawal of previous projects into account while placing its bid.

Phase 1 will offer about 1,400 flats with 1.25 million square feet for residential use as well as 67,400 sq ft of retail space.

Market valuations range from HK$3.94 billion to HK$6.56 billion, or HK$3,000 to HK$5,000 per sq ft of floor area.

Surveyor says it is unlikely that the tender will be withdrawn as it is a key project, sitting atop a subway station. It had forecast eight bids at most, taking into account interest rate hikes.

Elsewhere, a residential site on Po Fung Road in Tsuen Wan will close bids tomorrow. The plot has a site area of 89,987 sq ft and an estimated buildable floor area of 314,309 sq ft.

Another surveyors expects the site to be valued at HK$1.41 billion or HK$4,500 per sq ft, which could be attractive for medium- or small-sized developers.

Meanwhile, the Urban Renewal Authority revealed that the second highest bid for its Queen's Road West/In Ku Lane development project was HK$950 million, 22.2 percent lower than the winner offer of HK$1.16 billion from CK Asset.

Property prices set to rise 10pc amid rebound

Morgan Stanley has raised the property price forecast for Hong Kong this year to a 10 percent rise from 5 percent earlier.

The number of transactions in the primary market will rebound by 28 percent and the secondary market by 15 percent in 2023 from a low base in 2022, as interest rate peaks and the border with the mainland reopened, the investment bank said.

Rents of street shops will also rise by 5 percent this year after a 7 percent drop in 2022 and retail sales growth projection is revised up by 6 percentage points to 15 percent as mainland tourists return to the city, it estimates.

Hong Kong Property Services is even more upbeat, expecting local home prices to rise up to 15 percent this year.

If the upcoming budget provides more stimulus to the economy or even cuts the stamp duty, new home transactions could soar by over 60 percent and second-hand transactions by over 20 percent, the agency said.

New home sales nearly doubled after the border reopened with China on January 8 compared to the previous 31 days started December 8 and overall home prices have increased 0.88 percent since the beginning of the year, its peer a property agency said.

In the primary market, meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said the sales brochure of phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun will be released next week and sales could take place as soon as this month. Showrooms will open next week and the first price list may be unveiled as well, the developer said.

The project, atop a mall, provides 729 flats.

In Ap Lei Chau, Chuang's China Investments (0298) has named its new project - which includes 105 flats with sizes ranging from 205 to 317 square feet - as Aruna. The flats include 20 studios, 77 one-bedroom and eight special units. The sales brochure will be released next week and sales could be launched in the quarter, the developer said.

In Tseung Kwan O, Nan Fung Group has trimmed the maximum discount for 54 flats at LP10 by 1 percent, according to its updated price lists.

In Tai Kok Tsui, 18 flats at The Quinn Square Mile will be put on the market on Sunday, the developer Henderson Land Development (0012) said.

Ranging from 206 to 382 sq ft, the flats are priced at between HK$4.68 million and HK$8.88 million after discounts, or from HK$22,385 to HK$26,220 per sq ft.

In Cheung Sha Wan, Grand Victoria II, co-developed by Sino Land (0083) and others, sold five homes yesterday for a total of HK$77.38 million.

近期商廈租賃漸活躍，中環指標商廈中環中心剛租出一個單位，呎租40元，較去年低位升逾10%。

租金較去年低位升逾10%

上址為中環中心2210室，交吉逾1年，以每呎45元放租，議價後以每呎40元租出，月租7.24萬，該單位望城市景，同類型單位於去年11月及12月低潮時，呎租普遍低於35元。

其中39樓1室，建築面積2726方呎，去年11月以每呎約32元租出，為該廈13年來新低；而且，39樓樓層較22樓為高，景觀較開揚，可見最新租金較低位反彈，幅度超過10%。

雖然租金略為上升，該業主於2019年以6335萬購入2210室，回報僅約1.37厘。

太古廣場去年續約租金 減租18%

太古坊二座租用率升至56% 呎租略低一座

太古地產 (01972) 公布去年第四季營運數據，香港寫字樓旗艦項目太古廣場 2022年全年租金調幅為-18%，與首3季數據一致。

另一方面，鰂魚涌太古坊二座去年9月落成，太古地產首次披露，該物業至去年底租用率為53%，每平方呎租金為50中位至60高位，略低於同區較新的港島東中心及太古坊一座的50中位至70低位。

太古地產補充，截至最新數據，太古坊二座租用率升至56%，目前租戶包括瑞士寶盛、東方匯理香港、巴斯夫集團、波士頓顧問公司、中信銀行 (國際)，以及Ankura Consulting等。

截至去年底，太古廣場一、二座最新每平方呎租金現為100至120元，三座呎租為95元，與前一季度大致相若。出租率方面，截至去年底，太古廣場和整體太古坊物業租用率分別為97%和96%，較前一年同期約跌1個百分點。

太地：港人外遊 致消費力外流

內地物業方面，三大主要寫字樓物業--太古滙辦公樓、頤堤港一座、香港興業中心一座及二座租用率介乎94%至99%，與前一年度相若。

零售物業組合方面，太古廣場購物商場、東薈城名店倉第四季零售銷售額增長加快，全年銷售額增長分別為1.9%和3.8%，高於首三季增長1.5%和1.7%。不過，太古城中心銷售額跌幅由首3季的4.3%，擴大至全年的5.3%。

太古地產指，去年第四季香港市場消費氣氛改善，但出境旅遊活動恢復令消費力外流，零售業短期內受到影響，整體市場需要一段時間才能夠明顯改善。

公司續稱，有信心現時旅遊限制完全解除後，零售市場會得到更有力支持，會繼續提升租戶組合、優化會員計劃。

內地新春奢侈品銷售 顯著回升

內地去年底疫情升溫，北京三里屯太古里、頤堤港項目的零售銷售額跌幅，都由首三季跌21%至24%，擴大至全年跌逾25%。廣州太古滙銷售額跌幅，更由首三季僅跌2%，急擴大至全年跌10.5%。

成都遠洋太古里、上海興業太古滙第四季銷售額則有所改善，全年跌幅分別為15.4%和35.7%。

太古地產稱，內地防控措施於12月放寬，商場人流及整體零售額隨即好轉，新年及新春期間的人流更回升至2022年實施嚴格防控措施前的水平，當中奢侈品、餐飲和生活消閒類別銷售額錄得顯著回升。

太古地產股價昨跟隨大市上市，收報21.2元，升1%，成交額6,310萬元。

1月工商舖259成交 連跌兩月回升

根據一間本地代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示，1月份工商舖註冊量共錄259宗，較去年12月223宗按月升16.1%，連跌2個月後首度回升，而註冊金額則錄約32.04億元，按月下跌約64.3%，主要原因是1月份註冊個案主要反映12月份市況，當時受長假期及未全面通關等因素影響，拖低成交金額，呈量升價跌的趨勢。

1月份工商舖各板塊註冊宗數全綫上升。工廈及商舖表現較佳，註冊量分別按月升約10.4%及29.2%，最新分別錄127及84宗。商廈註冊量按月升約11.6%，錄得48宗。雖然市場氣氛逐漸回暖令註冊量增加，但投資者態度仍趨審慎，交投增長速度未明顯回升，預料整體註冊量及註冊金額未能在短期內回復到疫情前的水平。

細銀碼物業普遍錄升幅

若按金額劃分，1月份註冊量最多的為500萬元或以下物業，共錄134宗，按月上升約15.5%，其次為逾500萬元以上至2,000萬元的物業，共錄88宗，按月升約7.3%。在逾億元買賣註冊成交方面，月內僅錄2宗，其中商廈及舖位物業註冊各佔1宗，商廈為金鐘海富中心二座 15樓全層，以約1.88億元成交，平均呎價約1.77萬元，較高峰期回落約4成，屬低於市價的成交。同時，舖位亦錄得較貴重成交，由本地發展商新世界及恒地共同發展的西營盤瑧璈，其基座商場亦以2億元成交。

踏入兔年，終於迎來憧憬多時的中港通關，加上長假期結束及社會有序復常，展望全年工商舖成交量回升至5,800宗，較去年增加約3成。該行代理表示，國務院港澳事務辦公室宣布自2月6日起全面恢復內地與港澳人員往來，並取消出入境預約通關安排達致中港全面通關、恢復內地居民赴港澳旅行團，相信優化措施能吸引旅客來港，重振本港零售業及旅遊業，可望帶動核心區商舖表現。代理續指，財政預算案快將出爐，如有更進一步招商引資的政策，將吸引中資及海外企業來港投資及設立據點，相關措施或對經濟及樓市有提振作用。

同時，美國聯儲局宣布加息0.25厘，顯示加息幅度放緩，有望改善市場氣氛。該代理認為，投資市場已逐漸適應後疫情時代，更了解各板塊物業的增長潛力及未來價值，而部分工商舖物業價格已累積一定跌幅，能吸引投資者趁低吸納。

山頂馬己仙峽道地 逾40億快售

通關後大額豪宅買賣續現 近年最大額屋地

通關後接連出現豪宅大額買賣，消息指，由老牌家族持有山頂馬己仙峽道地皮，獲本地財團以逾40億元洽購至尾聲，預計短期內成交，樓面地價高見約10萬元，成為通關後最大額買賣。

傳統豪宅地段地皮非常罕有，市場人士指，由馬來西亞「錫礦大王」陸佑家族持有，馬己仙峽道30至38號地皮，早前獲本地財團積極洽購，雙方已達成協議，預計快將易手。該地皮位於山頂，盡享地勢，現時享維港景，加上地盤面積約66,650平方呎，可重建4至5間獨立屋，私隱度極高，重建後單位可享全維港海景。

據了解，業主早於2019年中，曾委託測量師行放售該地皮，當時叫價逾50億元，惟其後遇上疫情等被迫收回，直至近兩個月，中港正式通關消息帶動，本地財團重新洽購。

消息稱，是次洽購價約43億元，按物業可重建樓面面積約43,322平方呎計，每平方呎樓面地價約10萬元。買賣正式落實後，將成中港通關後，市場錄得最大額豪宅買賣，亦為近期單一獨立豪宅地段計最大手成交。而對上一宗大手屋地成交，為2018年華潤置地 (01109) 以59.29億元，購入南區壽山村道39號屋地，每平方呎樓面地價約8.6萬。

「錫礦大王」陸佑家族持有

翻查資料，項目現為金馬倫大廈，由數幢低密度住宅組成，由馬來西亞華僑「錫礦大王」陸佑家族持有多年，現時家族成員自用作住所外，部分分層單位作收租用途。該家族亦持有不少香港貴重物業，包括中環、上環全幢寫字樓。

事實上，項目前身亦有一段歷史。據悉，二戰期間日軍佔領香港，曾於該地建造「忠靈塔」，紀念戰死的日本官兵，該塔原打算建至80米高，並於1942年動土，數年後日本戰敗投降，英軍於1947年將之炸毁，而其基座仍保留，數年後財團在上面建成住宅。

山頂大型地皮甚罕有，2021年2月，山頂文輝道9及11號地皮，由九倉 (00004)，夥拍信置 (00083) 主席黃志祥家族、中渝置地 (01224) 主席張松橋、「大劉」劉鑾雄妻「甘比」及胞弟劉鑾鴻以72.5億元投得，每呎樓面地價50,010元，當時打破全港住宅官地呎價新高。

而附近地段亦不乏大手成交，包括長實 (01113) 去年尾，以公司股份轉售方式，出售波老道21號項目未售出的152個住宅單位予新加坡基金，涉逾207.66億。另去年尾，港島山頂道8號第A2座頂層A室複式戶，實用面積3,306平方呎，另設平台、天台連私人泳池，成交價約4.1億元，呎價逾12.4萬元，可見山頂豪宅造價理想。

業界：本地客趁低價入市增

有外資代理行代理分析，通關後即使內地資金未有即時流入，整體市場氣氛明顯向好，而整體豪宅去年亦因加息等因素影響，價格有少許調整，但市場資金仍充裕，只是等待入市機會。代理指，現時加息放緩，加上中港通關，本地豪宅投資者及用家為免日後價格急升，便開始積極出價入市，相信整體豪宅買賣將上升。

Hong Kong’s commercial property market set for tough first half as high interest rates subdue demand, says MSCI analyst

Investment volumes will be subdued for the next few months, falling some way below where they were even in 2022, says MSCI’s head of Asia real assets research

Investors such as the late ‘shop king’ Tang Shing-bor’s family have been offloading properties at massive losses

Hong Kong’s beleaguered commercial property investment market is likely to take a further hit as higher borrowing costs dent demand in the first half of this year, according to an analyst at MSCI, as some investors take massive losses.

Property investment volumes will be subdued for the next few months, falling some way below where they were even in 2022, said Benjamin Chow, head of Asia real assets research at the financial data company.

“That is largely because at the start of 2022, the full impact of the interest rate hikes was not yet felt so it only came towards the end of the year,” Chow said. “And obviously, Hong Kong’s monetary policy and exchange rate policy is, in some sense, quite heavily influenced by the US.”

Earlier this month, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority raised the city’s base rate by 25 basis points to a 15-year high of 5 per cent in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve to maintain the local currency’s peg to the US dollar.

Chow’s pessimistic forecast comes after deal-making in Hong Kong and other markets in the region endured a dire 2022, according to a report on Thursday from MSCI Real Assets, a part of MSCI.

For the whole year, activity dropped by 41 per cent to just US$6.7 billion. Trading of offices continued to languish throughout 2022, with rising interest rates squeezing rental rates for office assets in the central business district.

“Given the adjustments started to happen in the middle of last year, we would expect at least 12 months of subdued investment activity,” said Chow. “The quicker markets will start to pick up in the third quarter, and the slower ones may not pick up until 2024.”

That prediction is based on how quickly prices and volumes adjusted in previous cycles such as that triggered by the global financial crisis, he said.

Chow’s expectations are in stark contrast to a recent forecast by a property consultancy, which predicts growth of 10 to 15 per cent in the total transaction volume of commercial properties in 2023.

Chow expects the prices of commercial real estate to fall as financing costs increase, but declined to say by how much. Prices in both the office and retail sectors have already fallen by about 20 to 25 per cent, he said.

“[The decline] is probably going to be a bit harsher for Hong Kong compared to some of the other markets,” he said.

Notably, investors such as the late “shop king” Tang Shing-bor’s family and Hoixe Cake Shop’s co-founder have been offloading properties at massive losses.

At least seven properties belonging to Hoixe and its co-founder Siu Wai-kin have been sold this year – some of them by creditors – for a total of HK$476 million (US$60.64 million), according to agents. The first six incurred a loss of HK$20.3 million between them, according to Bridgeway Prime Shop Fund Management.

Hoixe did not respond to the Post’s request for comment.

Tang’s family has sold dozens of properties in recent years, some of them at huge losses. They sold a shop on Jordan Road for HK$46 million (US$5.86 million) in the last few days – a loss of HK$18 million over 10 years, according to agents.

A spokeswoman for Stan Group, the company chaired by Tang’s son, Stan Tang, declined to comment.

“A number of these have been sold at losses, while some have barely broken even,” said Chow. “They [the Tang family] even sold a senior housing property last year, so essentially they are really clearing out their entire portfolio and downsizing it very significantly.”

Institutional investment managers and funds that have a specific period of investment of perhaps five or seven years might start to feel the pressure, if they have already held on to a particular asset for four years or more.

Even though most of Hong Kong’s traditional commercial sectors continued to contract in 2022, Chow said hotel investment volumes had posted strong year-on-year gains, driven by deals involving assets intended for repositioning for different uses.

Similarly, the value of rental apartments acquired for investment – as opposed to redevelopment – also grew significantly, breaching the HK$1 billion mark for the first time.

Mainland homebuyers offered low rate, rebates

A mainland bank in Hong Kong is said to be offering attractive mortgage rates and cash rebates to lure mainlanders looking to buy homes in the city, according to local media reports.

The move could help boost stamp duty revenues at a time when the market is gaining momentum.

Without naming the bank, the reports said it was offering a mortgage rate of 3.225 percent - the lowest in the city - and additional discounts for mainland customers to increase its market share.

The lowered rate could slash off HK$413 in repayments each month for a homebuyer who borrows HK$5 million with a 30-year term, compared with the lowest cap rate of 3.375 percent for the mortgage plan based on the Hong Kong Inter-bank offered rate.

The move comes when the market share of small and mid-sized banks slid 50 basis points monthly to 32.6 percent in January, further solidifying the dominance of four major local lenders.

Banks will offer various benefits, including lower mortgage rates and cash rebate, to attract new clients, a mortgage broker said.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong's stamp duty revenue plunged 40 percent month-on-month in January to HK$334 million even after the border reopened, data from the Inland Revenue Department showed.

While the number of cases involving stamp duties rose 8.3 percent monthly to 157 in January, buyer's stamp duty, which mainly targets investors from mainland China and companies in property purchases, fell 2.9 percent monthly to 34 transactions, a new low in three months.

But it is expected to rebound in the coming months.

A property agency said more mainland investors will come to Hong Kong after the full reopening of the border, though it might take time.

And more new homes are on the way.

Wheelock Properties said it will unveil the first batch of flats at Koko Rosso in Lam Tin, offering at least 80 units.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) plans to release the first price list of Novo Land's phase 2B in Tuen Mun next week. The whole phase will offer 729 units.

Moreover, the Buildings Department approved eight building plans in December, including one by Swire Properties (1972) to build a three-storey single-family house on the Peak.

Separately, Swire Properties saw the occupancy rate in its Hong Kong office portfolio fall a percentage point to 96 percent but remain flat in its retail portfolio as of the end of last year compared to 12 months earlier.

Another agency anticipates investment demand for offices will remain weak this year due to the high vacancy rate and glut in the market, while China's reopening will boost the investment in retail property in Hong Kong.

有代理行統計，1月份市場共錄約1169宗工商鋪租賃，按月微跌約7.2%，按年減少約33.8%，1月總租賃金額約7953萬，按月回升近20%，按年下滑約30%，主因新年假期影響，令租務有所放緩。

代理行：上水區錄13宗鋪位租賃

1月份商鋪反彈力度明顯，共錄約265宗租賃，對比2022年12月份上調約2.7%，金額錄約3089萬，按月急升逾兩成，上水區租賃宗數回升，資料顯示，12月份及1月份均錄13宗成交，較過去按月單位數字明顯上揚，2月份首9日亦錄約6宗成交，反映租賃活躍。

新康街地鋪每呎95元租出

上水新康街20號地下連入則閣，地鋪面積約1000方呎，閣樓面積約800方呎，總面積約1800方呎，獲零售商以月租約9.5萬承租，平均呎租約95元 (不計閣樓)。原業主早前以每月約8萬元招租，獲多組準租客洽租，新租金較意向月租高出約18.7%。

隨着疫情漸穩，加上通關效應，香港已邁向復常之路，該行代理表示，不少企業及商戶看好經濟前景，已加快步伐趕在市況全面回升前入市，故帶動租賃需求有所上升。

日本大型連鎖雜貨店擴充步伐不斷，新近以月租約22萬元承租荃灣如心廣場2座25樓1至2室，涉及面積約10418方呎，平均呎租約21元。資料顯示，原租客為成衣製造商，舊月租約21.8萬，對比下輕微增長0.9%。

受惠通關效應，本港經濟前景將更見明朗，工商鋪物業租賃交投量會逐步回升，價格亦會持續上揚，預料工廈及寫字樓租賃市場，亦會跟隨大市向好走勢，價量穩步上揚。

通關效應 嘉里料商廈租務加快

旗下企業廣場全層 共享空間theDesk租用

通關後經濟活動漸復常，嘉里 (00683) 表示，旗下九龍灣企業廣場五期商廈部分，出租率逾9成，料通關後租務活動加快，而物業其中一層獲共享工作空間theDesk租用，該品牌指靈活辦公興起，尚有擴充空間。

過去數年受疫情衝擊，整體商廈空置率上升，而九龍灣企業廣場五期商廈部分，早前有大租客DHL遷出，空置率曾一度上升。不過，據悉項目獲政府部門、共享空間等租用，出租率改善。嘉里商業項目高級總監吳鎧廷指出，企業廣場五期兩幢商廈，涉及50萬平方呎樓面，現時出租率逾9成，平均呎租約25元。

企業廣場五期 出租率逾9成

吳鎧廷表示，中港通關後，因很多機構重啟擴充計劃，故相信租務市場好轉。今年為商廈供應高峰期，他指對業主來說，最重要是經濟基調向好，而企業廣場五期其中一大優勢，是啟德前景理想，因有多個大型住宅項目落成，對商業樓面同樣有需求，料今年租金平穩。

集團早前把物業1座26樓全層，租予共享工作空間theDesk，他透露是次與租客屬合作形式，theDesk用戶可以享有優惠，並在Megabox商場舉行推廣活動等，屬互相配合。

theDesk是次租用樓面約1.7萬平方呎，提供13間私人辦公室外，座位數量合共達250個，另提供會議室、咖啡店及瑜伽房等，月費由3,300元起。

theDesk租1.7萬呎 月費3300起

theDesk行政總裁及聯合創辦人許指，品牌現在港擁14間分店，會員人數達5千。他透露，過往3年疫情下，會員增長理想，去年增長更加達100%，而大部分營運一年以上的分店，出租率均逾9成。

許認為，疫情下更加推動靈活辦公，企業亦要在不同地區，提供彈性工作空間滿足員工需求，故未來集團仍有擴充空間。他認為，與商廈大業主合作好處，是適合中小企租用樓面，如涉及2至3人，或2至3個月租期的公司，可以互相配合。

疫情緩和後零售氣氛轉好，吳鎧廷指出，九龍灣Megabox商場出租率達92%，而他指新春期間人流及生意，大致上已回復前疫情前水平。

Sentiment improving despite rental index drop

Sentiment in both the primary and secondary property markets in Hong Kong improved over the weekend although a rental index showed that local rents dropped to a level from six-and-a-half years ago.

Positive news, including the fully reopened border with the mainland, has continued to boost the market sentiment and the upward trend will continue, an agent said.

But the agency’s rental index fell 0.42 percent last month to 108.13 points amid the Lunar New Year holidays - the lowest since August 2016. The index has fallen by 4.11 percent in total over the past five months, the agency said.

港鐵小蠔灣住宅項目流標收場

剛於上周四截標的港鐵小蠔灣車廠發展項目第1期，雖然有3家大型發展商入標，惟最終亦流標收場，港鐵昨日宣布決定不接納任何有關該項目的標書文件，並會於適當時間重新招標。業界人士認為，項目建築成本高，而樓市未完全復甦，加上屬「開荒牛」項目，具有一定難度，而且回本期相對較長，以致財團出價相對審慎，尤其是分紅比例更成為關鍵，最終導致項目流標。

港鐵小蠔灣是繼政府招標赤柱豪宅地及市建局觀塘商業項目後，於一個多月內第3幅地皮錄得流標個案，業界認為除了因疫情持續打擊外，樓價於去年跌幅高達15%亦是主要原因，加上樓市仍未完全復甦，導致發展商競標意欲低迷，特別是大型地皮項目，出價亦相對審慎及保守

一個多月連環3宗流標

一家大型發展商指出，今次小蠔灣項目流標，最主要是項目建築成本太高，發展商需要負責興建商場及車站等設施，加上日後商場建成更要交還港鐵，而且區內配套未必能夠配合首期項目，出現「開荒牛」項目性質，回本期長及極具挑戰，將來能夠「打和」更有難度，同時樓市仍未真正復甦，發展商出價審慎及分紅比例未符港鐵要求，自然有機會流標。

有測量師表示，過去港鐵車站上蓋發展項目甚少流標，對上一次可能要追溯至大圍站上蓋項目。該測量師又說，項目變數不太多，相信今次流標主要原因是項目位處新發展區，而且涉及規模較大，加上未來政府有不少土地推出招標，以致發展商出價較審慎，建議港鐵推措施降低發展商成本，例如港鐵自行負責興建車站設施，藉此增加項目吸引力。

回本期長 分紅比例未符要求

另一測量師亦認同，該項目規模比較大，而且小蠔灣屬於一個新發展區，發展商出價趨向保守，最後導致流標。測量師又說，其實小蠔灣地理上屬於一個策略性位置，但需要比較長期的發展及配套，發展商現階段對這個位置的期望比較保守，尤其是首期項目未必配合到車站即時開通。

有測量師表示，小蠔灣車廠發展項目第1期屬於「開荒牛」項目，發展商需要負責興建商場、平台及車站等設施，由於車站未必能夠配合項目首期即時通車，因此具有很大挑戰。測量師又說，作為整個項目的「開荒牛」，流標將會影響之後期數的進度。

據悉，小蠔灣車廠發展項目第1期不設補地價條款，惟入標發展商須提供「一口價」固定金額12億。另外，發展商須就分紅比例向港鐵自行提出建議，而分紅比例不設限制。此外，發展商須負責興建商場、平台及車站設施等，商場建成後須交還港鐵。項目於上周四截標，合共接獲3份標書，入標發展商包括長實、新地、會德豐地產。

Warmer price outlook drives One Stanley

K&K Property plans to sell by tender the luxury project One Stanley as early as the second quarter as sentiment in the property market has improved.

The smallest unit would be 800 square feet and the prices will refer to similar projects in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island, as well as Ap Lei Chau and Wong Chuk Hang.

The transaction price of the larger units had recently reached up to HK$50,000 a square foot, said Tony Cheng, the investment and sales director of K&K.

One Stanley is designed by Robert Stern, a New York City-based architect and the founding partner of the architecture firm Robert A M Stern Architects.

Stern has been the designer of many luxury projects in Hong Kong, including Mount Nicholson and The Morgan on the Peak.

One Stanley, a low-density project, has a site area of 272,300 sq ft and a buildable floor area of 226,000 sq ft, while the area with plantation is 81,000 sq ft, accounting for 30 percent of the total site.

The projects will offer 50 flats in 11 four-storey buildings and 32 independent houses.

Cheng predicts prices of luxury homes could rise 10 to 15 percent, compared with the estimated growth of 5-10 percent for other private homes, citing the rising transactions after China's reopening, the expected peak of interest rates in the third quarter and the Top Talent Pass scheme by the Hong Kong government.

In Kowloon Tong, a luxury house on Oxford Road is up for sale with an intended price of HK$450 million, or HK$58,000 per sq ft, an agent said.

Four houses on Plantation Road on The Peak jumped into the market by starting the tender sale this Friday.

For private homes, The Vertex in Cheung Sha Wan, held by Twin City, sold five more flats yesterday, cashing in HK$45 million, adding up to a total of 18 homes sold in one week. The manager of the project, VMS, will put four more flats on sale on Friday, with the size ranging from 408 to 439 sq ft.

And there are more new homes to come.

Star Group (1560) said the project After the Rain in Yuen Long expects to release the first price list in March, offering at least 67 units in the first batch for "reasonable" prices. And in Tuen Mun, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) will upload the prospectus of Novo Land 2B this week, involving 729 units.

Hong Kong property developers dismiss investor confidence fears over national security law clauses in land sale documents

Land tender documents found to have clauses to warn potential buyers of disqualification for national security breaches

But real estate association says no objections registered from members and move would not affect bidding

Hong Kong property developers have dismissed fears about a drop in investor confidence after the authorities added national security clauses to land sale documents.

Provisions from the Beijing-imposed national security law were found in recent tender documents for land sales, including one for a site at the junction of Sai Yee Street and Argyle Street in Mong Kok, where submissions will close on February 24.

The document warned potential buyers they could be disqualified if they engaged in activities that endangered national safety or affected public order.

Stewart Leung Chi-kin, the chairman of the executive committee of the Real Estate Developers Association, said he had heard no objections from members, despite there being no consultation on the change.

“The latest practice will not have an impact on a developer’s desire to tender for land or not,” he told the Post. “It will not scare away foreigners who are true investors, but only those that hope to disturb and obstruct the city’s development with political motives.

Leung, also the chairman of real estate giant Wheelock Properties, said he believed the new arrangements were related to the 2019 anti-government protests.

Beijing imposed the national security law on Hong Kong in June 2020 with penalties of up to life in prison for people convicted of subversion, secession, collusion with foreign forces and terrorism.

“Now it must be clearly stated, and it’s not just Hong Kong, many countries across the world have such a security law to protect themselves,” Leung said. “Even though there are no such clauses for old land leases, the law is enforced in the city already, and people have to obey and follow it.”

Other developers echoed Leung’s views.

Nick Tang, chief executive officer of Wang On Properties, said the clause was reasonable from a business perspective.

“While it is in place, in practice I don’t think anyone will trigger this clause. Chances of that happening are very slim. So it definitely will not affect land prices,” Tang predicted. “If a Hongkonger buys anything in the US, the US government will also examine the background before allowing the investment,”

A spokesman for the Development Bureau said the Lands Department had added new provisions in land sale papers and short-term leases after the government’s Stores and Procurement Regulation was updated last August to take account of the national security law.

“Safeguarding national security is the shared responsibility of the entire Hong Kong society. For law-abiding bidders, the relevant terms should not affect their willingness to bid, and we are not worried that the terms will affect the government’s push for land,” he said.

He added the first land sale in Kai Tak Area 2A, which included the national security terms, had attracted six bidders and the site was sold by the end of last year.

The city’s property stocks were down as much as 4.9 per cent to the lowest level in six weeks on Monday, compared with a 0.1 per cent slip in the benchmark Hang Seng Index.

Donald Choi, the chief executive of property giant Chinachem Group, said: “The government always has the right to withdraw the tender or choose who can win. The government is like any landlord, who can choose the tenant or buyer. This is naturally their right.”

Allen Fong, a veteran developer who earlier worked for a state-owned developer and has more than 25 years of experience, said he did not see how construction of residential property could violate national security law, despite the legislation’s range.

“If you talk about residential, industrial property or street shops, I don’t think there will be any major violations,” Fong said. “The biggest chance is when an office is leased to a renter who violates the national security law.”

Polly Chu, a partner at law firm Withers, said the insertion was designed to underline that the national security requirement was one of the criteria along with price and specification under the government procurement process.

“Most land developers mainly consider the development cost, future revenue and income that can be generated, strategic expansion or portfolio and risk, funding and ongoing management,” Chu said.

Gary Ng Cheuk-yan, a senior economist at Natixis Corporate and Investment Bank, said the move to extend the scope of the national security law was not a surprise.

“It should not drastically change investors’ sentiment, but it will also not stop businesses from reassessing the risks in geopolitics and policy predictability in Hong Kong,” Ng said.

The Foreign Correspondents’ Club said last November it had secured a three-year lease extension on its part of the Old Dairy Farm Depot in Central after it became embroiled in controversy and was targeted by the city’s pro-establishment camp in recent years.

The association revealed the new lease contained other provisions which were standard in all government leases, including allowing the authorities to terminate it at any time with three months’ notice or with immediate effect on national security grounds.

MTR Corp withdraws tender for Oyster Bay residential site on Lantau Island after just 3 bids submitted in subdued market

It is the third time the bidding process for a parcel of Hong Kong land has fallen through in just over a month

Developers are hesitant to commit to large investments amid rising interest rates and uncertainty in the economic outlook

The tender for the first residential project at MTR Corp’s Oyster Bay station in northern Lantau Island has been withdrawn, the third time the bidding process for a parcel of Hong Kong land has fallen through in just over a month.

“The corporation has decided not to accept any of the tender submissions,” said a MTR Corp statement on Monday. “The corporation will retender the project in due course.”

The Oyster Bay project received just three bids on Wednesday, the lowest for an MTR project in nine years. The response was in stark contrast to the first of the rail company’s developments in Lohas Park and Wong Chuk Hang station, which fetched 11 and 14 tenders in 2005 and 2017 respectively.

The market is still very conservative even as the reopening of the border with mainland China may herald an uptick in demand for Hong Kong property, according to analysts. Developers remain hesitant to commit to large investments amid rising interest rates and uncertainty in the economic outlook.

“The borrowing cost has gone up more than triple,” an agent said. “If the asset is not generating income, it is very hard to get loans, therefore it’s even harder to get financing for construction sites.”

The withdrawal of the tender might be down to the size of the plot and the investment sum required, a surveyor said.

“As the sales velocity of existing stock is slow and the interest rate is high, the developers are looking for those quick return projects,” the surveyor said.

Earlier this month, Hong Kong’s Urban Renewal Authority (URA) rejected a tender for a big plot of land in Kwun Tong, because the sole bid from Sun Hung Kai Properties failed to meet the minimum requirement.

That failed sale followed the withdrawal of a site in Hong Kong’s southern Stanley district on January 10. The plot, on Cape Road, is the district’s biggest site for residential development in two decades.

The tender for the first phase of the Oyster Bay project includes a residential area of about 1.25 million sq ft that could provide up to 1,900 housing units, and a shopping centre with a floor area of 67,400 sq ft.

It comes as the property industry continues to digest the government’s move to build public housing units on the former runway area of Kai Tak, originally planned as a second central business district for the city.

It is the biggest MTR project since phase 13 of Lohas Park, which has a floor area of over 1.5 million sq ft and closed for tender in October 2020.

Oyster Bay had initially attracted 33 expressions of interest in December.

Donald Choi, the CEO of developer Chinachem Group, said the government should consider accepting lower offers because the market has fallen.

“Recently the market has changed relatively quickly … the government should make appropriate adjustments,” said Choi. “The government has recently offered land in a rush. Hopefully they will reconsider that.

“The government has to understand the market and cannot think prices offered would be as competitive as the market before.”

He said Chinachem did not submit a bid for the Oyster Bay project because of the “very high technical requirements” and construction costs.

尖東新東海商業中心錄一宗成交，一個單位以呎價7500元易手，售價重返8年前水平，物業於30年間僅升值82%。

有代理表示，尖東新東海商業中心313室，建築面積約2050方呎，作價1537.5萬，平均呎價7500元，以交吉易手，單位望開揚景，屬優質單位，若在疫市前，此類型單位呎價至少9000元，現時以低價成交。

持貨30年僅升值82%

原業主於1992年以約843萬買入，一直作為自用，持資逾30年，帳面獲利694.5萬，物業升值82%。

業內人士分析，上述單位於30年間升值不足1倍，原因是80及90年代尖東如日方中，當年是日資公司天下，區內商廈價格高企受追捧，後來，日資公司沒落，尖沙嘴發展重心亦轉移至西邊，「名店街」廣東道及海防道等誕生，發展迅速，尖東商業氛圍大不如前，再加上近年疫市洗禮，尖東指標甲廈售價紛處於低水平，上述新東海商業中心造價重返8年前水平。

去年中，該廈16樓9室，建築面積3475方呎，以3832.8萬易手，平均呎價11030元。去年1月，該廈9樓11室，建築面積1347方呎，以每呎10393元沽。還有，2021年11月，該廈13樓2室，建築面積約1763方呎，以2280萬易手，平均呎價12933元。

黃竹坑區9商業項目 蓄勢待發

黃竹坑區由工業區逐步轉型為新興商業及住宅區，今年區內有不少新建商廈落成，包括宏基匯、商廈 S22 等等。環顧該區未來幾年將陸續有至少9個商業項目推出，涉及逾200萬平方呎商業樓面。另外，亦有發展商看準區內優勢，收購區內舊工廈。

黃竹坑早在60年代開始發展並興建大量工廈，又以輕工業為主，屬於本地傳統的工業區之一，而後來政府改劃成為商貿區，原先希望推動酒店業發展，以配合海洋公園，但隨着港鐵南港島綫通車，拉近與核心商業區金鐘的距離，發展商看準機遇，逐步將酒店轉為發展商廈。

環顧該區商業發展，區內現時至少有9個商業項目，共涉逾206萬平方呎樓面，當中8個屬於辦公室項目，其餘的是港鐵 (00066) 黃竹坑站港島南岸的上蓋商場THE SOUTHSIDE。

宏基匯拆售 意向呎價1.3萬起

當中不少已經在去年至今年陸續落成，包括宏基資本 (02288) 旗下黃竹坑道23號宏基匯，正式於今年推出並拆售。

項目樓高27層，其中2至5樓作零售用途，6至29樓則為寫字樓用途，單位建築面積由約747至6,187平方呎，意向呎價約1.3萬元起。上述項目前身為黃竹坑標達中心全幢工廈，並由宏基資本於2017年以約14.8億元購入並重建。

同時，由偉華置業發展的香葉道36號商廈項目Viva Place亦料於今年落成，總樓面面積約30萬平方呎。另外，由帝國集團發展的香葉道22號商廈早前已經命名為「S22」，項目樓高28層，總樓面面積達16.35萬平方呎，每層面積約7,600平方呎。

THE SOUTHSIDE 區內最大商場之一

至於港鐵旗下黃竹坑站港島南岸上蓋商場THE SOUTHSIDE，亦預計在今年開幕，項目總樓面面積近51萬平方呎，設5層商舖樓層，提供約150間商戶，及約235個停車場車位，屬於區內最大商場之一，正在進行招租。

事實上，發展商亦看準該區優勢，收購區內工廈，以會德豐為例，集團於去年5月就黃竹坑道合隆工業大廈申請強拍，項目佔地約7,830平方呎，若以地積比率15倍重建，總樓面約11.75萬平方呎。

Luxury home sales gaining momentum

Hong Kong's primary property market notched up more luxury transactions with a buyer splurging HK$250 million on three homes of St George's Mansions and a four-room flat at One Victoria selling for HK$63.8 million via a tender.

The deals came as an upmarket development in Happy Valley revealed it was poised to launch sales shortly.

Yesterday, Sino Land (0083) and CLP Holdings' (0002) St George's Mansions in Ho Man Tin sold three three-bedroom homes for almost HK$250 million.

The flats range in size from 1,868 to 1,870 square feet, and were sold for prices ranging from HK$43,102 to HK$43,576 per square foot.

Meanwhile, China Overseas Land & Investment's (0688) project, One Victoria in Kai Tak, sold a 1,793 sq ft four-bedroom unit.

The unit was sold for HK$63.8 million, setting a new record for One Victoria, at a price of HK$35,583 per square foot, which also set a new high for price per square foot.

Meanwhile, The Aster, previously known as Resiglow, a rental property owned by Kerry Properties (0683) in Happy Valley, will be available for sale soon.

The project has a total of 106 flats for sale, of which 100 are standard duplex two-bedroom units ranging from 619 to 698 sq ft in area. Additionally, there are two three-bedroom units with storage, with a saleable area of about 1,249 sq ft.

In Kowloon, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) sold a four-bedroom flat at The Cullinan, situated above Kowloon Station, for HK$131 million through tender.

The sale set a new record for the project at HK$83,800 per sq ft.

The developer will release the show homes of Novo Land 2B in Tuen Mun this week and strive to start the sale of 729 flats this month. It expects the phase to be attractive, as it is built atop a shopping mall.

In Tseung Kwan O, after selling 784 flats at LP10 and cashing in HK$9.3 billion, developer Nan Fung Group will further release 54 units on Saturday.

In the same district, Kowloon Development's (0034) Manor Hill has sold 601 flats at an average price of HK$21,811 per sq ft, earning a total of HK$3.6 billion.

Elsewhere, Wheelock Properties' Koko Rosso in Lam Tin will release the price list tomorrow and launch about 80 units in the first batch. Over 1,000 people have made appointments to visit the show homes as the prices are at market value.

And Road King Infrastructure (1098) plans to put 700 flats at a project in Tuen Mun for sale next quarter.

In other news, Country Garden (2007) announced that Allegro in Kowloon City received its certificate of compliance. The project has sold 37 flats since May 2021, cashing in HK$280 million.

香港與內地全面通關，寫字樓市場漸恢復動力。有代理行發表市場報告指，1月份分散業權甲廈售價及租金上升，分別按月微升2.4%及0.5%，分散業權乙廈售價及租金則錄微跌，分別按月跌1.5%及0.6%。

呎價重返3萬水平

該行代理表示，經濟出現復甦勢頭，寫字樓氣氛好轉，租售價略反彈，其中指標甲廈售價受帶動，上環、中環、灣仔等表現不俗，中環平均呎價重回3萬水平，惟未回復疫情前水平。

上月50大指標甲廈交投回暖，共錄8宗，較矚目為太子砵蘭街450至454號HQ全幢物業，總建築面積約38228方呎，成交價3.5億，平均呎價9156元，由陳廷驊基金會承接。大買賣亦包括中環皇后大道中9號中層單位，以1.05億成交，平均呎價31484元，略高於市價。

整體空置率達10.2%

上月整體甲廈空置率持續高企，空置率10.2%，中區、灣仔及銅鑼灣、尖沙嘴空置率分別9.7%、7%及9.8%，東九龍錄16.8%，為全港最高。近日觀塘市中心商業地流標，東九龍空置高企、未來供應增、環球及本地經濟不明朗，令發展商審慎。同時，小蠔灣商住項目亦告流標，反映投資者信心薄弱。

雖然現時寫字樓空置率仍高企，隨着疫情回穩迹象，市場過去三年累積一定購買力，加上營商環境逐步改善，期望財政預算案會推出更多招商引資政策，促進內地及國際企業來港集資上市或擴充，為經濟發展增添動力，預料重新帶動2023年寫字樓需求。

香港與內地通關後，酒店成為投資者目標，佐敦廟街一幢「迷你」酒店，佔地僅1100多呎，共有37個房間，以8800萬易手。原業主為鄧成波家族，持貨6年，物業貶值18.5%。

上址為佐敦廟街129至131號全幢，地盤面積約1182方呎，樓高約18層，總樓面約10471方呎，以成交價8800萬計算，平均呎價8404元，該酒店提供約37個房間，平均每個房間238萬。鄧成波家族於2016年以約1.08億購入該酒店，帳面蝕約2000萬。

鄧成波家族沽貨

嘉里逾14億奪荃灣住宅地 力壓9財團得手 每呎樓面地價4578元

近期有多幅大型地皮流標收場，而上周截標的荃灣寶豐路中型住宅地，昨日成功批出，由嘉里以逾14億力壓9財團得手，每方呎樓面地價約4578元。

上述寶豐路住宅地於上周五截標，當時吸引10家財團入標，地政總署昨日公布招標結果，由嘉里以14.388億力壓9財團奪標，每方呎樓面地價約4578元，屬市場估值範圍之內，當時市場估值約11億至15億，每方呎估值約3500至4800元。

相隔近7年再奪政府地

有測量師表示，在啟德地平價出售及近期有多幅大型地皮流標後，而今次中型項目成功批出，可見地皮規模及投資額適中的中型項目對發展商具吸引力，認為發展商在轉角市期間率先購地發展。

另一測量師指出，該用地招標反應理想，而且中標價仍屬合理範圍，由於荃灣西面屬於近期較受歡迎的一個住宅區域，預計未來地皮應該會發展精品豪宅。

資料顯示，嘉里對上一次投得賣地表地皮為2016年10月斥資72.688億、投得筆架山龍翔道豪宅地 (現已發展為新盤緹外)，當時每方呎樓面地價21206元，當時為九龍區地王。是次批出的寶豐路住宅地除中標的嘉里外，其餘入標財團包括長實、新地、信和、會德豐地產、嘉華國際、佳明、遠東發展、鷹君、新加坡公司 (Hong Fok Corporation Limited)。

嘉里以14.388億力壓9財團奪標，每呎樓面地價4578元，屬市場估值範圍之內。

New batch of flats at Koko Hills to be priced under $10m

Wheelock Properties said some one-bedroom units on the first price list of Koko Rosso in Lam Tin will cost less than HK$6 million and all the 80 homes in the batch will be priced under HK$10 million.

The batch will be unveiled today and three showrooms will be open for viewing during the weekend, managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu said. Collection of checks will start this weekend and sales may take place within the month, Wong noted.

The project is phase 3A of its Koko Hills development, which has 392 flats with standard unit sizes ranging from 300 to 497 square feet.

The developer will make reference to phases one and two in pricing.

Demand for new homes may recover this year as time deposit interest rates fall and the money placed in deposits last year gradually matures, Wong said, adding that this would lead to money flowing into property and stock markets.

In Tuen Mun, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said it will release the sales brochure of phase 2B at Novo Land today.

The first batch will be unveiled soon and showrooms will open to the public as well, the developer said, adding that sales may be launched in the month.

Novo Land 2B provides a total of 729 homes, including 160 one-bedroom units, 458 two-bedroom and 81 three-bedroom units, all ranging from 298 to 703 sq ft, as well as 30 special units which are between 277 to 1,429 sq ft.

Kerry Properties scoops Tsuen Wan site for $1.4b

Kerry Properties (0683) has been awarded a residential site in Tsuen Wan for HK$1.4 billion.

The developer won the tender for Tsuen Wan Town Lot No. 427 on Po Fung Road, offering HK$1.44 billion or HK$4,578 per square foot, surpassing nine other developers and nearing the market valuation's upper limit.

The site covers 8,360 square meters and is allocated for private residential use.

According to a surveyor, the total gross floor area for the development would be around 314,309 sq ft based on a plot ratio of about 3.49.

The site is moderately sized and tranquil, with convenient transportation links to and from Tsuen Wan town center, and its proximity to the sea is advantageous.

It is anticipated that the development will predominantly consist of small to medium-sized residential units, such as one, two, or three-bedroom flats.

Apart from the winning bidder, eight subsidiaries of local developers and consortia - namely Sino Land (0083), Far East Consortium (0035), Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), CK Asset (1113), Wheelock Properties, K Wah International (0173), Great Eagle (0041) and Grand Ming Group (1271) - and one unit of Singapore-based developer Hong Fok Corporation, also participated in the tender.

Meanwhile, the Lands Tribunal received an application for the compulsory sale of the Sun Ming Building in Ap Lei Chau, which is valued at HK$260 million.

The application is submitted by Victory Super Limited, whose directors include Connie Cheng Wai-yee, the director of a subsidiary of SHKP.

Separately, Sunlight REIT (0435) saw its revenue for the six months ended 2022 fall by 3.9 percent yearly to HK$388.5 million due to lower rents and occupancy rates across various properties.

Meanwhile, net property income dropped 4.9 percent to HK$307.6 million.

Distributable income was HK$198.2 million, an 8 percent decline from the same period last year. The company declared an interim distribution per unit of 11 HK cents.

受通關效應帶動，商廈租賃活躍，以中環友邦金融中心全層單位，以每月160萬租出，平均呎租120元；上環中遠大廈一個逾萬呎大單位，以每呎約45元租出，租客皆為金融機構。

市場消息透露，核心區甲廈連錄大手租賃，中環友邦金融中心28樓全層，由金融機構承租，面積約13553方呎，月租高達160萬，每呎120元，屬該廈近年大手租賃。該廈對上一宗成交為去年中，高層8至9室面積約3237方呎，原由資產管理公司於2020年以每月42萬租用，呎租約130元，該公司提早約一年撤出，由另一家企業以每月32.4萬頂租，呎租約100元。

中遠大廈每月逾45.8萬租出

上環中遠大廈高層02室，建築面積約10180方呎，以每呎逾45元租出，月租45.8萬，為近年來大手租賃，過去一年錄約14宗租賃，全部為5000呎以下，並集中在1000至3000方呎的單位。

近年商廈空置率創新高，去年第4季整體空置率為16.8%，屬2004年首季以來的新高，不過，在全面通關後，市場終見曙光，尤其租賃活動明顯活躍，不論核心區或非核心區包括東九龍及黃竹坑，近期亦見連錄租賃。

有代理表示，在通關後，商廈洽租驟增50％，租賃升約25%，去年11月至12月租金位處低位，目前稍作反彈，不過，始終空置率高，以中資及本地客主導，外資比例仍偏低，相信要有外資「正流入」，空置率重返8％以內，租金才真正反彈。

商廈洽租驟增50％

近期市場聚焦加息，該代理認為，住宅市場對息口較敏感，影響商廈市場主要為營商環境、法制、空置率、回報率及供求等，預期上半年租務跑贏買賣，租金於年中得到支持，當指標商廈空置率改善，租金企穩， 投資者才能重出江湖，中環金鐘傳統甲廈供應有限，勢必跑贏大市。代理認為，相信需時三年，甲廈市況才有望重上疫情前的水平。

料上半年租務跑贏買賣

該代理指出，中美角力，中國掌握全盤工業生產，香港作為中外貿易要塞，國際地位只會提升不會下降，未來世界動盪，通脹嚴重，銀紙貶值，掌握製造業，等同掌控金錢遊戲規則。

中環地王項目規劃署不反對 恒基申建3幢商廈 設計與海濱環境相稱

恒基2021年11月豪擲508億奪得的中環新海濱3號商業地王，其發展計畫備受關注，該公司去年11月向城規會申建3幢商廈，涉及可建總樓面約161.46萬方呎，另外申請放寬建築物高度限制以重建25米高天星鐘樓，並提供逾41.6萬方呎的休憩用地，以打造「城市綠洲」，最新獲規劃署不反對，原因包括設計與海濱環境相稱，城規會今日舉行會議審議時，料會「開綠燈」通過。

規劃署指出，發展方案設計與海濱環境相稱，項目建築設計方案將可以增強視覺效果，而且在通風、視覺等沒有構成負面影響。

另外，項目設置各種政府用途設施，如新郵政辦公室、公共交通設施及停車場等，多個政府部門，如香港郵政及建築署等均表示沒有負面意見。

可建樓面逾161萬方呎

據城規會文件顯示，該項目屬「綜合發展區」及顯示為「道路」的地方地帶，申請擬議綜合辦公室、商業及零售發展 (包括商店及服務行業、食肆及娛樂場所) 和政府用途，並略為放寬建築物高度限制。

項目地盤面積約51.63萬方呎，商業部分可建總樓面約161.46萬方呎，包括69.13萬方呎辦公室，商業/零售92.32萬方呎。而非商業部分可建總樓面約24.56萬方呎，提供公共交通設施及公共停車場、政府、機構或社區設施 (包括重置受影響的郵政總局和公共廁所以及重建天星小輪鐘樓)。

同時，項目提供共963個車位，當中325個為公眾私家車停車位。

項目細分東面及西面兩部分發展，其中西面部分興建3幢商業物業，將興建一個以「橋」作為整個發展設計概念的綜合項目，為中環新海濱打造世界級地標。並透過空中平台連接3幢向海濱遞減建築物高度的商業大樓，其中第1座樓高6層，建築物高度不多於47米；而第2座樓高9層，第3座樓高10層，而第2及3座建築物高度不多於50米，3幢建築物不包括4層地庫 (耀星街以北) 及6層地庫 (耀星街以南)。

分為東西兩部分發展

東面部分主要為重置天星鐘樓，建築物高度由原來的16米 (主水平基準上)，申請放寬至25米，增幅約56%；同時發展低層園景行人平台並在其下提供商業設施，樓高1至2層 (不包括地庫)。

中港全面通關 商廈租售氣氛向好

中港正式通關，商業活動加快，業內人士指，近日甲廈買賣及租務查詢均增加，料市況向好，而租售價穩定。

據一間本地代理行每月統計，上月整體甲廈7宗買賣，成交有所改善。其中，皇后大道中9號14樓03室，約以1.05億易手，平均呎價31,484元，原業於去年以約9,500萬元購入，持貨7個月，帳面獲利約1,000萬元，物業升值逾10%。據悉，單位曾為佳源國際持有，2013年11月以約9,360萬元購入物業後，翌年向恒生銀行承做一按，去年3月再由投資者借出二按，後來淪為銀主盤。

廖偉麟7818萬購力寶中心

另外，金鐘指標商廈力寶中心錄得成交，資深投資者正八集團主席廖偉麟，購入金鐘力寶中心一座37樓4至6室，面積3,475平方呎，涉資約7,818萬元，成交呎價約2.25萬元，物業市值呎租約60元。原業主早於2003年約1,130萬元購入3個單位。

尖東康宏廣場錄得2宗買賣，涉及高層12至13室，面積約2,043平方呎，以約2,700萬元成交，呎價約13,216元。另同廈高層09室，面積約1,213平方呎，以約1,800萬元成交，呎價約14,839元，單位以交吉交易。

有代理表示，在中港通關消息前，整體商廈買賣及租務氣氛已有改善，查詢有所增加，直至近期中港全面通關，睇樓活動亦有增加，不少在港中資機構，加快擴充步伐，亦有投資者出價洽購商廈，市況比去年理想。

皇后大道中9號呎租高見60元

租務方面，近期指標甲廈租務亦有增，如中環指標皇后大道中9號錄2宗租務，包括中高層01室，面積約2,978平方呎，以每呎約60元租出，屬頗理想價錢，另同廈中低層06室，面積約2,102平方呎，成交呎租約53元。至於金鐘力寶中心高層5至6室，面積約7,110平方呎，成交呎租約55元。

代理分析，通關後商廈市況已轉勢，現時投資者仍密切留意息口走勢，待市況進一步穩定，中資機構加快擴充，投資者將加快入市步伐。該代理指，整體指標甲廈租售價已喘定，料今年成交量增加，價格亦穩定。

甲廈重拾升勢 售價按月升2.4%

隨着中港全面通關，商務活動逐漸復常，寫字樓市場恢復交投動力。狼代理行發表的商廈市場報告指出，1月份分散業權甲廈售價及租金上升，分別按月微升2.4%及0.5%，而分散業權乙廈售價及租金則錄得輕微跌幅，分別按月下跌1.5%及0.6%。

該行代理表示，經濟出現復甦勢頭，令寫字樓市場氣氛好轉，租售價略為反彈，其中指標甲廈售價受到港島核心區帶動，上環、中環、灣仔等地區的表現不俗，其中中環平均呎價更重回30,000元水平，惟未回復至疫情前的價格水平。

上月50大指標甲廈成交量回暖，共錄8宗成交，較為矚目的大手成交為太子砵蘭街450至454號HQ全幢物業，總建築面積約38,228平方呎，成交價約3.5億元，平均呎價約9,156元，由陳廷驊基金會承接。大買賣亦包括中環皇后大道中9號中層單位，約1.05億元成交，平均呎價約31,484元，略高於市價水平。

空置率達10.2%

空置率方面，上月整體甲廈空置率持續高企，全港整體指標甲廈空置率為10.2%，中區、灣仔及銅鑼灣、尖沙咀的空置率分別為9.7%、7.0%及9.8%，而商廈供應量最多的東九龍的空置率錄16.8%，為全港最高。

該報告指出，有關近日觀塘市中心商業地流標的情況，相信東九龍寫字樓空置率高、未來商廈供應增、環球及本地經濟不明朗，均為發展商取態審慎的原因。同時，小蠔灣商住項目亦告流標，反映目前投資者入市信心較為薄弱。

雖然現時寫字樓空置率仍然高企，但隨着疫情有回穩迹象，而且市場在過去3年已累積一定購買力，加上營商環境逐步改善，期望財政預算案會推出更多招商引資政策，促進內地及國際企業來港進行集資上市或擴充等商業活動，為經濟發展增添動力，預料能夠重新帶動2023年的寫字樓需求。

啟德 AIRSIDE 入伙 帶動區內住宅需求

日資企業高層 1.55萬租維港1號

大型甲廈入伙帶動啟德區住屋需求，一家進駐 AIRSIDE 的跨國公司高層，以1.55萬租住維港1號；代理指維港1號本月暫錄18宗租務，當中不乏公務員。

啟德跑道區首個大型項目維港1號正式收樓約3個月，本月租務交投開始回升，有代理透露，維港1號1A座低層F室，實用面積447平方呎，屬於2房間隔，望內園泳池景為主，剛以1.55萬元租出，呎租約35元。業主於2021年以約1,117萬元購入，以新租金計，租務回報約1.7厘。

該代理指，租客為一名日資跨國公司管理層，該公司快將遷入啟德全新甲廈 AIRSIDE，故選擇租住啟德區新樓，由於屋苑有大型住客會所，加上由屋苑到新公司約5分鐘車程，故即睇即租。

公務員1.5萬 租維港1號2房

代理又表示，啟德區有不少政府辦公大樓，不少公務員選擇呎租相宜的維港1號，例如1A座一個低層2房單位，實用面積444平方呎，剛以全包價1.5萬元租予公務員，呎租大約34元。

至於其他租務方面，另一代理表示，二手交投氣氛轉旺，租賃及買賣交投均活躍。大埔白石角逸瓏灣8 3C座中層A單位，實用面積698平方呎，3房連套房間隔，開價約22,000元，議價後以20,500元易手，平均實用呎價約29.4元。業主於2019年以約967萬元購入單位，是次租出單位可享約2.5厘租金回報。

另一方面，西營盤忠正街藝里坊1號高層C室，實用面積253平方呎，屬於1房間隔，剛以全包價1.8萬元租出，呎租約71元，屬於理想租金水平。業主2020年以約861萬元購入，租金回報約2.5厘。

Koko Rosso eyes young buyers with $5.5m flats

Koko Rosso in Lam Tin, developed by Wheelock Properties, released its first price list yesterday, offering 88 flats with the lowest priced at HK$5.54 million after discounts.

The flats are in the sixth block and each has one or two bedrooms. With gross floor areas ranging from 300 to 497 square feet, the average discounted price is HK$17,973 per sq ft.

Wheelock Properties executive director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu said prices in this list are about 10 percent lower than the first phase of the Koko Hills project, with all one-bedroom flats below HK$6 million.

Wong expects the prices will be affordable for young home buyers. He hopes the batch will boost market sentiment and said Wheelock is likely to increase prices by 10 percent for subsequent batches.

The show homes recorded more than 1,000 appointments after the exhibition hall opened for VIP members yesterday. Other customers can visit the hall tomorrow.

Wheelock expects the first round of sales to begin at the end of this month.

Wong expects local home prices to rally between 5 and 8 percent this year as unemployment keeps falling.

Wheelock will also offer a 3 percent discount to highly skilled professionals who buy their first home in Hong Kong.

A property agency expects Koko Rosso to be attractive to many home buyers and investors, with an estimated annual rental rate of return of 2.5 percent.

It also expects transactions in the property market to keep increasing amid the reopened border and the accelerated economic recovery as more large-scale projects in Tuen Mun could be launched this month.

In the luxury market, a home at Mount Regalia in Sha Tin developed by Paliburg (0617) and Regal Hotels International (0078) sold for HK$46.18 million by tender yesterday with a price per of HK$22,615 per sq ft while in Clear Water Bay, China Overseas Land & Investment (0688) sold a house on Fei Ngo Shan Road for HK$169.47 million.

And Pano Harbour in Kai Tak, developed by China Resources Land (Overseas) and Poly Property (0119), reported two more deals for a total of HK$116.61 million.

In other news, Henderson Land (0012) is expected to get the green light to build three blocks at the Central harborfront site. On the site of 516,300 sq ft, three blocks of six to 10-story office and retail properties will be built with a total floor area of 1.61 million sq ft.

The developer won the site for HK$50.8 billion two years ago and submitted a development proposal to the Town Planning Board last November, which is likely to gain approval today.

代理：倘實體經濟理想 升幅更高

中港全面通關，有代理認為，勢令今年工商舖交投走出低谷，料商舖及甲廈量可反彈3成以上，該代理認為仍要留意實體經濟因素，若表現勝預期，升幅將更高。

去年為投資市場表現較差一年，年初爆發第5波疫情和俄烏戰爭，美國聯儲局又連續7度加息至4.25厘，本港利率因此跟隨上調，令銀行及企業資金成本增加，加上政府全年整體仍然實施較為保守的防疫措施，令工商舖成交量大幅下挫。據代理行數據，連同逾億元公司轉讓成交在內，2022年工商舖成交量及金額分別錄4,490宗及837.2億元，按年皆大跌約35.9%。預計今年工商舖成交量將可達至5,800宗水平，按年增加約3成，當中寫字樓和商舖升幅會更顯著。

估計五一 可反映零售業反彈

踏入2023年，整體市況即有明顯轉變，首先1月初中港通關，旅客開始重臨香港，而農曆年後，中港更是全面通關，所有口岸重新開放，意味全面復常。代理認為，首階段受惠的，定必是商舖市場，「最近見尖沙咀廣東道重現旅客於名店外排隊，即使未算完全回復，已經是好開始。」該代理料租務市場上，仍以日用品為主商戶率先擴充。事實上，最近尖沙咀廣東道、彌敦道，以及上水一帶商舖，均見藥房擴充，「近來見藥房先擴充，奢侈品未必立即受惠，因中港全面通關在極短時間內出現，很多大型品牌在訂貨上未趕及，估計在五一黃金周，便真正反映香港零售業的反彈情況。」

中港長達3年封關，成為經濟一大衝擊，如今中港重新通關，市面上氣氛即轉好，亦令投資者憧憬今年經濟反彈。惟該代理強調，仍要留意實體經濟表現如何，「投資市場已走出最差時間是可以肯定，但到底是否通關後，工商舖立即大反彈？絕對要留意實體經濟情況，畢竟疫情持續了3年，經濟需時復原，而中美仍不時有摩擦，市場上尚有不明朗因素。若實體經濟表現好，整體工商舖買賣升幅定更理想。從實際市況看，代理坦言今年工商舖市況反彈，仍難回復疫情前水平，「若最終回復6至7成，已算非常滿意。」

另一困擾投資市場的因素，為美國去年加息甚急，令本港息口亦向上。工商舖向來為投資品，加息打擊投資需求。對於息口因素，該代理反而認為不是關鍵，「近期市場均相信，美國加息近見頂，若出現回落訊號，「聰明錢」會率先入市，以博物業日後升值。何況連環加息，會出現通脹，傳統智慧令資產價格上升，勢令投資者買磚頭抗通漲，更有利工商舖市場。」

看好核心區甲廈 價量回升

通關後商舖市場最快有反應，該代理則分析，今年最看好商廈市場。代理指出疫情期間，民生區商舖租金並沒有下挫，而工廈呎價更是有上升，反觀甲廈租售價持續顯下挫，主因外資及中資機構未能來港擴充，如今香港與內地及海外全面通關，勢對甲廈有幫助。至於近兩年，甲廈出現供應高峰，會否擔心構成壓力？「供應多還要看哪些地區，中環、金鐘指標甲廈，始終與九龍區不同，核心區甲廈供應始終少，亦是機構首選，看好核心區甲廈，價量勢從谷底回升。」

Koko Rosso flats in hot demand, more on way

A second price list of flats at Koko Rosso in Lam Tin, developed by Wheelock Properties, is expected to released as early as today after the first list of 88 flats was 22 times oversubscribed with 2,000 checks received over the weekend.

The number of flats in the second list will be 10 percent more than the first and prices may also increase by as much as 10 percent, said managing director Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu.

He added that at least 20 customers have enquired about the special units with rooftops.

Details of the tender for these top-floor flats might be revealed when sales are launched at the end of this month.

The third phase of Wheelock's Koko Hills project, Koko Rosso offers a total of 392 flats with areas ranging from 300 to 988 square feet.

The first batch featured mostly smaller flats ranging from 300 sq ft to 497 sq ft.

The selling price of the first batch was about 10 percent lower than those sold at Koko Hills in 2020, with the cheapest unit priced at HK$5.54 million.

As 70 percent of the checks received were from first-time home buyers, Wong said that the developer might offer special payment plans for this group.

Meanwhile, in the secondary market, 15 transactions were recorded at 10 major housing estates over the weekend according to a property agency.

It was the ninth week of double-digit transactions although the number shrank 37 percent from last week's 24 deals.

An agent said that buyers were attracted to the busy primary market, and it was difficult for them to find good deals in the secondary market with owners reluctant to cut prices amid the buoyant market sentiment.

However, there was an unusual loss-making deal at Taikoo Shing over the weekend when a 715-sq-ft three-bedroom flat changed hands at about HK$13 million or HK$18,182 per sq ft with the seller, who had bought the flat for HK$14.65 million six years ago, suffering a HK$1.65 million or 11 percent loss on his initial investment.

中環金利豐中心 (35 QRC) 曾由醫療集團承租全幢，打造專科「醫生大廈」，然而敵不過疫市，經營一年提早撤出，業主金利豐集團去年與醫療集團解約，並將該廈再度招租，最新首錄承租，該廈2全層以每呎62元租出。

7樓及8樓連環租出

市場消息透露，金利豐中心7樓及8樓，建築面積各約1982方呎，業主意向呎租75元，近期獲準租客洽租，最終減價13元，以每呎62元租出，每層月租12.3萬。今番亦是金利豐集團於去年第3季收回該廈後首錄承租，可見在兩地通關後，商廈租賃逐漸回暖。

全層月租12.3萬

皇后大道中35號金利豐中心，除了地下外，去年推出放租，1至3樓及5樓可作寫字樓、零售或餐飲用途，建築面積約1958至3125方呎，意向呎租60至130元，7樓至26樓為寫字樓用途，每層建築面積約1982方呎，低層意向呎租75元起，高層呎租叫價90元，業主只接受承租全層的租戶。

35 QRC原為舊式商廈，朱李月華於2014年7月斥逾16億購入，重建成新商廈，2020年落成，地鋪租予先施錶行旗下FRANCK MULLER作旗鑑店，樓上單位租予新創辦的嘉仁專科醫療集團，租約長達10年。不過，嘉仁專科經營大約1年結業。

黃竹坑宏基匯每呎1.6萬易手

中港兩地通關後，商廈市況漸受註重，黃竹坑甲廈新盤宏基匯連錄2宗成交，該廈高層全層以約9885萬易手，平均呎價1.6萬。

黃竹坑甲廈宏基匯23樓全層，建築面積約6178方呎，以每呎1.6萬易手，涉資約9885萬；還有，同廈1105室，建築面積約801方呎，亦以每方呎1.28萬易手，涉資1025.28萬。

全層單位作價9885萬

宏基資本於2017年以約14.8億，購入區內標達中心全幢工廈，透過補地價重建甲廈，該集團主力投資工商物業，多年前於大角嘴發展工廈宏創方，並以樓花形式銷售，套現後投資黃竹坑工廈。

宏基匯位於黃竹坑道23號，於2022年落成，樓高27層，總樓面約107203方呎，大廈擁有3部載客電梯，以及1部載貨電梯，單位坐擁獨立冷氣，大廈管理費每呎約3.5元。

全幢物業具增值空間 投資者之選

近期整體投資氣氛轉好，而全幢物業成交亦增，投資者看好全幢物業夠靈活，有增值空間或穩健收租，勢成投資者之選。

近兩個月投資氣氛頗理想，物業交投稍活躍，大額全幢物業獲承接。其中新世界連環沽出物業，集團旗下觀塘鴻圖道73至75號 KOHO，以約17億元易手。KOHO 前身屬於建大工業大廈，由鵬里資產由工廈活化改裝成商廈並易名為「KOHO」，物業樓高13層，1樓至12樓為寫字樓，地下則為停車場及商店，每層面積由1.6萬至2.45萬平方呎。

新世界沽觀塘 KOHO 涉17億

新世界在2014年以約16億元購入，近年一直低調放售，3年前曾暗盤叫價24億元。早前業主向城規會申請放寬用地的地積比率，以興建1座33層高的商廈，總樓面約28.8萬平方呎。項目現劃為「其他指定 (商貿)」用途，佔地約2萬平方呎，發展商早前向城規會申請將地積比由12倍放寬至14.4倍，重建1座33層高商廈 (另設4層地庫停車場)，提供辦公室、商店等，總樓面涉約28.8萬平方呎。據悉，物業早前易手，料約17億元，相較新世界當年購入價，帳面賺1億元或升值6%。

另外，通關後酒店獲承接。佐敦廟街129至131號全幢酒店易手，地盤面積約1,182平方呎，樓高約18層，總樓面約10,471平方呎，提供約37個房間。江氏指，上述物業原為精品酒店，現已改為服務式住宅，每月租金為23萬元。據了解，買家為長綫投資者，斥資8,800萬元購入該物業。翻查資料，原業主為鄧成波家族，早於2016年以1.08億元購入，並發展成自由行旅客酒店，持貨7年轉手，帳面蝕約2,000萬元。

鵬里資產賣HQ 料損手離場

至於商廈方面，太子砵蘭街450至454號HQ全幢易手，物業樓高15層，總樓面約38,228平方呎，每層面積約3,000餘平方呎，現時出租率約97%，主要租客為教育中心、宗教團體等。據悉，項目以約3.5億元成交，呎價約9,155元。項目項目前身為炳富商業大廈，鵬里資產於2015年以3.5億元購入，翻新並易名為HQ，基金持貨8年沽出，帳面平手離場，惟若計算支出，料有所虧損。新買家為陳廷驊基金會，物業主要供基金會旗下教育機構使用。

分析指，通關後投資氣氛轉好，投資者勢加快入市步伐，而息口仍在相對高位，投資者、基金考慮購入物業，需有增值元素，而全幢物業因樓面大，勝在用途靈活可變，以提高回報率，相信全幢物業成交將加快。

石門匯達大廈 管理完善配套齊

石門匯達大廈質素不俗，其中一大優勝之處，為區內罕有單一業權商廈，管理上較完善。

匯達大廈位於石門安耀街，交通上，由港鐵石門站至該廈約10分鐘內，而自從屯馬綫及東鐵綫過海段通車，石門前往港九各地距離拉近，相當便利。

配套方面，石門飲食及消費重心為京瑞廣場基座商場及商舖，快餐店、茶餐廳等一應俱全，另外，近年石門有新酒店落成，可提供特色餐飲。

區內罕有單一業權商廈

石門原為傳統工業區，近年該區發展成熟，多幢新商廈落成，令商業氣氛提升。值得留意，是區內較舊式的商廈如新都廣場，以及新商廈W LUXE、京瑞廣場等，均屬散業權商廈，而匯達大廈一大優勝之處，為區內罕有單一業權商廈，在管理上包括大廈保養、租客組合上較佳，質素有所保證。

大廈地下上落客停車位相當寬落，而門口亦有噴水池等設計，觀感甚佳，而地下大堂提供坐位讓訪客等候及休息，整體配套不俗。物業樓高24層，1至12樓為低層，13至27樓為高層，兩段分別有多部升降機到達，疏導人流上甚佳。

每層1.6萬呎 間隔靈活

單位每層面積約1.6萬平方呎，而最細單位約621平方呎起，間隔相當靈活，適合各類型公司使用。景觀方面，單位一面望向山景，非常舒適開揚，另一面望向石門樓景。

用戶方面，業主目前自用兩層單位，其他租戶種類甚多，有會計、工程、證券、大學、賽馬會及慈善團體等。

翻查資料，物業原為工廈用途，由會德豐持有，早年為物業翻新及改裝成商廈，並於2010年放售物業。2012年會德豐以12.788億元，沽出石門匯達大廈全幢，買家為上市公司建滔化工集團 (00148) 。物業樓高24層，總樓面約34.9萬元，平均呎價約3,664元，該集團指，購入物業部分作集團業務之用，部分作投資用途。

TST shop sold for a lofty $100m

A small shop in Tsim Sha Tsui has been sold for HK$100 million, a high-value transaction that has rarely been seen in recent years.

The sale comes at a time when more mainlanders are expected to flock to the city to shop as well as scout for property now that the border has fully reopened.

The property is on the ground floor of Majestic House, No 80 Nathan Road.

The 300-square-foot shop was sold for about HK$330,000 per sq ft to CLC Land. It is located opposite Exit B1 of Tsim Sha Tsui Station and the Park Lane shopping boulevard.

The property is currently leased to a camera store for HK$300,000 a month.

Meanwhile, in the residential market, Wheelock Properties' Koko Rosso in Lam Tin is expected to launch the first round of sales Friday after 156 units in the first two price lists were 22 times oversubscribed with 3,500 checks.

Koko Rosso unveiled its second price list yesterday for 68 flats with the cheapest priced at HK$5.77 million.

Minmetals Land (0230) also disclosed the fourth price list Montego Bay in Yau Tong, which includes 69 units at an average price of HK$21,471 per sq ft after discounts.

In Happy Valley, Kerry Properties (0683) put the first batch of 10 units of The Aster up for sale, with prices starting at HK$17.93 million after discounts.

And Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) plans to reveal the first price list of Phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun today and offer no less than 146 units.

In other news, Stewart Leung Chi-kin, the chairman of the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong and Wheelock Properties, said the government should remove stamp duties in its new budget due tomorrow, adding that "the Earth will not stop spinning" if the duties are scrapped.

市區住宅地皮供應有限，私人市場的住宅用地，成為發展商增加土儲對象之一。有「越南朱」之稱的投資者朱立基，旗下鰂魚涌芬尼街地盤新近以約4.35億售出，持貨約4年半帳面蝕2.43億，期內貶值約35%。據了解，新買家以第一集團呼聲最高。

上述地盤位於芬尼街3、5及9號地盤，新近以約4.35億易手，每方呎樓面地價約1萬，而成交價對比2018年中由「越南朱」朱立基以6.78億購入價，持貨約4年半單計帳面已蝕2.43億，期內貶值約35.8%。據了解，新買家以第一集團呼聲最高。

地盤面積約4200呎

第一集團董事魏深儀回覆本報查詢時指出，並不評論市場消息，強調該集團向來積極在市場物色合適的住宅地盤，以打造上車盤。

該項目鄰近港鐵鰂魚涌站，交通便利，且鄰近太古坊商業區，不論作住宅或酒店都相當合適，極具價值。

項目地盤面積約4200方呎，規劃為住宅用途，若住宅發展以地積比率10倍計算，可建總樓面約4.2萬方呎。

每呎樓面地價約1萬

上述項目早年向城規會申請作酒店發展，並獲批建1幢樓高32層酒店，涉及可建總樓面約62980方呎。資料顯示，朱立基坐擁逾百億物業，包括中環盈置大廈全幢、山頂倚巒、西半山天匯等。

事實上，近期有不少地皮併購個案，今年1月北角堡壘街66號及建華街57號銀主地盤，以1.9億成交，每方呎樓面地價約5735元，據悉，買家為佳明集團及有關人士。

鰂魚涌芬尼街地盤新近以約4.35億售出，原業主持貨約4年半帳面蝕2.43億，期內貶值約35%。

甲廈錄1.69萬呎負吸納 外資代理行：空置率12.2%

有外資代理行最新發表的香港地產市場報告指，農曆年為傳統的寫字樓租賃淡季，今年1月甲廈錄1.69萬方呎負淨吸納量，截至1月底，整體市場空置率升至12.2%，中環和灣仔 (銅鑼灣) 空置率分別微升至8.9% 和10.3%，港島東空置率則跌至11%。

保險金融機構洽租增加

儘管空置率微升，新落成商廈受追捧，資訊科技解決方案公司Nexify 租用新落成觀塘 The Millennity 全層，建築面積約1.26萬方呎，該租戶由同區中海日升中心遷入該廈，以提升辦公室質素。

整體租金跌0.2%

該行代理表示，近期接獲保險及金融機構租賃查詢增加，其業務料受內地開關所帶動，料商廈租賃交投於下半年顯著改善。1月整體市場租金按月跌0.2%。中環和灣仔 (銅鑼灣) 租金均跌0.2%，尖沙嘴保持平穩。

料下半年租賃改善

隨着旅遊開始恢復常態，去年12月入境訪客量及零售總銷貨額進一步回升，香港逐步放寬入境限制，與內地通關，將推動遊客人數在未來數月顯著增長。然而，商鋪租賃活動仍然呆滯。

該行另一代理表示，不少商戶對承租商鋪保持觀望。市場預期經濟有改善，部分鋪主提高叫租，導致租客與業主就租金差距擴大。

廣東道鋪呎租550元近年新高 通關效應尖沙嘴「名店街」連錄藥妝店進駐

通關效應帶動下，在不足2個月內，尖沙嘴「名店街」廣東道連錄藥妝店進駐，最新為一個面積約1000方呎地鋪，以每月55萬租出，平均呎租550元，屬該街道疫市以來新高。

市場消息透露，上址為廣東道14號地鋪，建築面積約1000方呎，新租客為區內著名藥妝店，過往曾大開分店，疫市後大幅收縮，今番捲土重來，並進駐「名店街」，簽下3年約，首年租金較平，第2及3年會加租，平均月租約55萬，平均呎租550元，為疫市3年以來最高。

簽署3年約

事實上，自從疫市以來，廣東道不斷錄棄租，直至2021年下半年始錄租賃，去年第4季通關見曙光，直至上月共錄4宗租賃，呎租由250至302元不等。

上述的廣東道14號地鋪，舊租客為溥儀眼鏡，於數月前遷出，該店於2013年11月續租該鋪時，月租高達230萬，最新租金較高峰期回落76%。

廣東道除了鐘表及名店外，向來亦是藥妝店搶攻的橋頭堡，疫市下幾乎走清光，上月才首度迎來「回歸」，尖沙嘴廣東道86至98號文利大廈地下6號鋪，自從化妝品連鎖店卓悅於3年前撤出後，鋪位一直丟空，在通關效應下，獲藥妝店簽署3年長約，今年上半年租金較低，下半年逐漸加租，在此三年期間，平均月租約30萬，以地鋪建築面積約120方呎計算，平均呎租約250元。

高峰時月租230萬

雖然藥妝店月租30萬，較3年前卓悅月租48萬，下跌約37%，比2013年4月鋪市高峰期，當年卓悅月租高達203萬，更大跌逾80%，不過，業內人士說，該宗租賃迎來好兆頭，相信核心鋪市即將有一番新景象。

有代理指，廣東道於散業主持有鋪位的雙號數地段，近年來一直維持近10個吉鋪，隨着藥房進駐，相信新租客陸續有來，於未來一年，吉鋪將會被填滿，其他核心區一綫街道，亦將陸續有遊客相關的行業進駐。

尖沙嘴「名店街」廣東道一個地鋪，錄藥妝店簽3年約，平均月租55萬。

新加坡豐樹放售2物流中心 總值逾30億

外資基金趁市況轉好換貨，新加坡豐樹基金，委託放售石門及粉嶺兩項物流中心，總值逾30億元。

石門偉達中心51萬呎 叫25億

市場人士指，主力投資房地產的外資基金豐樹基金近日委託測量師行，放售兩項工廈物業，而兩物業均主要作為物流中心用途。較大手為石門偉達中心逾半業權。據悉，物業於1996年落成，樓高22層，總樓面約96萬平方呎，而豐樹基金現持有約50.9萬平方呎。租務上，該廈因樓底高約17呎，貨櫃車可直達門口，且物業內具備卸貨台，屬區內罕有的配套設施。大廈出租率甚理想，去年該廈共錄得18宗租務成交，面積介乎約120至28,232平方呎，呎租由12至17元不等；其中低層樓面，面積約28,232平方呎，月租約45.1萬元，折合呎租約16元。據悉，基金現以逾25億元放售物業，呎價約5,000元。

另一項放售物業為豐樹粉嶺物流中心，位於粉嶺業和街4至8號，地盤面積約27,588平方呎，樓高5層，總樓面約13.7萬平方呎，現作物流中心用途。物業鄰近內地邊境，主要幹道連接文錦渡及香園圍口岸，故甚適合物流中心、貨倉等用途。業主現時以約6.9億元放售，呎價約5,000元。兩項物業現進行放售，合共市值近32億元。

過去兩年受疫情影響，網購興起，工廈受追捧，凍倉、物流中心等承接力強，基金亦趁勢放售兩物業作換貨。

豐樹基金一直投資本港多項工業物業，而近期亦有收購商廈。早前屢傳財困的高銀集團，以約56億元沽出九龍灣高銀金融國際中心，買家為私募基金太盟投資集團 (PAG) 夥豐樹基金，將以50：50控股比例從清盤人手中共同收購。物業總面積約88.7萬平方呎，呎價僅約6,313元。

加路連山道用地 料2026逐步落成

銅鑼灣為傳統商業及購物區，一向吸引不少發展商在區內插旗，目前區內至少有10個商業項目有待推出，涉逾283萬平方呎樓面，當中最大型的項目屬於由「銅鑼灣大地主」希慎 (00014) 等持有的加路連山道用地，總樓面佔逾百萬平方呎，料於2026年逐步落成。

據本報粗略估計，銅鑼灣區內未來至少有10個商業項目，共提供逾283萬平方呎樓面，由於區內官地供應不多，除了2021年批出的加路連山道商業地外，剩餘9個均屬重建項目。

上述加路連山道商業用地規模龐大，於2021年5月由希慎興業夥華懋以約197.8億元投得，並已在去年10月獲屋宇署批出建築圖則，獲准建2幢15及24層高的商廈 (另設5層地庫)，總樓面108.08萬平方呎，將會在2026年落成。

料耗資20億 建天橋有蓋行人路

事實上，希慎在附近擁有多幢商廈，是次進一步鞏固區內的商業勢力。發展商在去年底亦透露，集團將展開一項大規模的升級工程，將加建5條天橋，及有蓋行人道路，貫穿希慎廣場、利園1至3期、5至6期，與加路連山道項目，亦正向政府申請興建地下行車隧道。該改造工程預計涉資逾20億元。

同時，區內舊樓一直吸引發展商收購，當中位於禮頓道128至138號、希雲街2至30號希雲大廈，經金朝陽 (00878) 收購後，於去年中公布以約32.09億元沽出予United Endeavor，傳新買家為中資背景。

傳中資買家承接希雲大廈用地

希雲大廈比鄰聖保祿幼稚園，亦鄰近希慎已建成的商業王國及加路連山道項目，佔地約1.32萬平方呎，屬於「其他指定 (混合用途)」用途，可以發展為住宅或商業用途，或申請作混合兩者發展。若果以商業地積比率最高15倍計算，可建樓面約19.8萬平方呎。相信隨附近的商業項目逐步落成，將會為用地增值。

至於利園山道5至27號、波斯富街54至76號，以及羅素街60號的舊樓群則由新世界 (00017) 所收購，已經申請強拍，該批舊樓的現況市值高達45.05億元，料屬歷來強拍申請最貴重物業。如以最高地積比率15倍發展，可建樓面將達30萬平方呎，預計較適合作銀座式商廈，或設商場及寫字樓的綜合式商廈發展。

通關帶動 甲廈售價租金升

中港全面通關帶動本港商業氣氛，據本港一間代理行發表的地產市場報告指，1月本港分散業權甲級商廈售價及租金上升，分別按月升約2.4%及約0.5%。

空置率按月回落0.1%

另外，報告指，1月整體指標甲廈空置率約10.2%，按月回落0.1個百分點。其中，中環空置率約8.4%，按月升0.1個百分點，不過上環空置率約9.6%，按月大減約1個百分點。灣仔及銅鑼灣則減少約0.4個百分點至約7%，金鐘亦挫約0.1個百分點至約8.9%，尖沙咀則維持約9.8%。至於分散業權乙級商廈售價及租金則錄得輕微跌幅，按月下跌約1.5%及約0.6%。

據EPRC經濟地產庫資料，過去2個月，銅鑼灣寫字樓的建築呎租約31元，建築呎價則約1.7萬元。

Novo Land rolls out more flats, prices start at $4.2m

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has circulated the first price list for Novo Land's phase 2B in Tuen Mun, which offers 146 flats. The cheapest one is close to HK$4.26 million.

The average price after discounts is HK$13,288 per square foot, representing a five-percent decrease compared to the average price of the first batch in phase 1B last year.

The 146 flats, which include one to three-bedroom units, are sized from 305 to 703 square feet in areas.

With a maximum discount of 15 percent, prices range from nearly HK$4.26 million to HK$9.47 million, or from HK$12,780 to HK$14,196 per sq ft. The cheapest flat is Unit H on the third floor of Tower 1B. That is a one-bedroom apartment with an area of 305 sq ft for a price of HK$13,951 per sq ft.

According to Victor Lui Ting, Sun Hung Kai Properties' deputy managing director, the prices are more than 10 percent lower than those of second-hand homes in the same district.

Meanwhile, Wheelock Properties's project in Lam Tin, Koko Rosso, received 4,500 checks within four days, meaning it is oversubscribed by more than 29 times.

The first batch of 156 flats in the development has an average discounted price of HK$17,973 per sq ft, with the cheapest priced at HK$5.55 million.

For Henderson Land (0012), The Quinn Square Mile in Mong Kok circulated its sales brochure yesterday and will launch 20 homes for sale on Saturday.

The saleable areas of the units range from 208 to 447 sq ft, with discounted prices of HK$5.42 million to HK$9.58 million, or HK$20,997 to HK$26,578 per sq ft

Elsewhere, various luxury projects have been recording transactions.

SHKP's Ultima in Ho Man Tin saw a deal for a four-bedroom flat with an area of 1,823 sq ft.

It was sold for HK$78.5 million via tender.

Kerry Properties (0683) sold a three-bedroom duplex unit at Mont Rouge in Beacon Hill with an area of 1,743 sq ft for HK$70.3 million through tender.

And at Grand Austin, a project co-developed by New World Development (0017), Wheelock Properties and MTR Corp (0066) in Tsim Sha Tsui, a 1,228-sq-ft, four-bedroom home was sold for HK$44.1 million.

Elsewhere, a commercial-cum-residential site in Quarry Bay reportedly changed hands for HK$430 million, which reflected a depreciation of 36 percent after the original owner bought it at HK$678 million in 2018.

There were also market rumors that some small and medium-sized banks have lowered the mortgage loan rate cap to 3.125 percent, or 25-50 basis points below major banks.

今日公布的財政預算案中指出，本港經濟今年將明顯反彈，本地生產總值增長將達到3.5%至5.5%，有外資代理行代理指，經濟復常將可帶動房地產行業各物業的需求，預料整體租賃及交投活動將於今年顯著復蘇。政府預計2024至2027年間每年經濟增長達3.7%，反映本港經濟復蘇將維持一段長時間，亦令未來3至4年對商業房地產的需求持續，可望加強投資者對本港中期前景的信心。

該代理又指，下年度賣地計劃中有3幅商業用地，提供約215.28萬方呎樓面，由於寫字樓市場供應充足，預計發展商對商業用地的興趣有限。另下年度亦推出3幅工業用地，涉185.99萬方呎樓面，有鑑於工業物業空置率偏低，料能吸引財團參與，而政府未來可考慮推出更多工業用地，以滿足市場需求。

粉嶺工廈提價5%放售 全幢最新意向價3億

近日工商鋪市場氣氛漸好轉，有業主提價放售物業，粉嶺安樂門街26號全幢工廈，早前以2.8億放售，最新提價2000萬，以3億放售，加幅逾5%。

旺角百億商業地王 估值降逾4成

測量師：發展限制多 流標風險高

規劃逾10年、前身為旺角水務署及食環署辦事處的商業地，屬區內罕有商業地供應，由於地皮規模龐大，總樓面高達約152.4萬平方呎，加上比鄰旺角東站，有條件挑戰百億地王之列，地皮將於明日 (24日) 截標，惟有業測量師認為，流標風險高，更將估值大幅調低逾4成。

有測量師料，地皮最大缺點是有很多發展限制，包括要保留近亞皆老街的3棵榕樹，變相不能在榕樹周邊興建任何建築。同時，中標發展商日後要興建天橋接駁旺角道行人天橋及黑布街、亦要提供公共運輸交滙處、及比鄰項目的休憩用地等。

另外，地盤中間包括旺角道及快富街分別需要預留兩個建築物間距，令到空氣更流通，視覺更寬闊，預計這會增加日後商場設計的困難，變相不能興建大型商場，故減低項目地價，並估計日後用作商場的樓面只佔約2成，樓上則為商廈。

地皮比鄰新地 (00016) 旗下新世紀廣場、帝京酒店，而且近期新地有競投其他商業項目，所以他認為是次他們入標的機會很大，料項目最終接獲2至3份標書。

估值調低 約93億至98億

不過，觀乎過去1個多月，連續有3幅地皮流標，其涉總投資額均偏高。他指，由於地皮的投資額大，涉逾200億元，加上近期發展商競投商業項目的意慾不太高，料是次發展商出價不會高。與此同時，該測量師認為政府會否調低底價視乎政府政策，但近期政府亦推出簡約公屋等，意味當局不需在地皮價錢低迷時推地，反而有其他選擇，因此地皮的流標風險依然高。

測量師又指，考慮到寫字樓成交量已經下跌了4成，而且加息，及建築成本增加，因此最新將地皮估值調低至約93億至98億元，每平方呎樓面地價約6,102至6,430元，較地皮去年2月被納入賣地表時估值約160億至183億元，大幅下挫逾4成。以目前計算，項目落成後商廈呎租料約42元，日後或再有上升空間。

Budget 2023-24: Hong Kong records lowest land sale revenue since 2016, prompting conservative projection for coming financial year

Government estimates it will generate HK$85 billion from land premium income, including sales of 18 sites in coming financial year

Finance minister Paul Chan says conservative projection takes ‘reference from market situation’ and past performance of government’s land sale programme

Hong Kong has offered up a conservative estimate for its land revenue over the coming financial year after recording its lowest income from such sales in the past seven years.

Authorities planned to put 12 residential plots, as well as three commercial and three industrial sites on the market this year, partly contributing to a forecast HK$85 billion (US$10.8 billion) in land premium income, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po announced on Wednesday.

The estimate is less than the HK$120 billion forecast for 2022-23 from land revenue, which included the sale of 13 residential sites and four commercial plots.

“From previous experiences, land revenue drops when the property price goes down. The property price went down some 15 per cent last year but it was still at a high level. The property market has become more stable lately,” Chan said during his budget press conference.

“We have taken reference from the market situation and the land sale programme and tuned down the land revenue a bit.”

But the sum for the coming financial year is closer to the revised estimate of HK$71.1 billion for the current one, marking the lowest sales figure in the past seven years.

The revised estimate accounted for only 60 per cent of the initial HK$120 billion forecast for 2022-23.

“It is mainly due to the lower-than-expected transaction prices of some land lots and the cancellation of some land sales,” Chan said.

Only 12 sites were sold out of the 17 offered up in last year’s land sale programme.

The government last April rejected tenders for a residential plot at Castle Peak Road in Tuen Mun and again last month for a site at Cape Road, Stanley, as the premium offers did not meet the official reserve price.

Two of the city’s major builders, the MTR Corporation and Urban Renewal Authority, also each withdrew from a tender earlier this year, with both railway property development and the revamping of built-up areas previously contributing to the government’s land revenue.

A government source emphasised that it “won’t sell land cheaply”, adding a press conference on Thursday would reveal more details about the land sale programme, including the locations up for grabs.

Some 20,550 private flats are expected to be built under this year’s programme, surpassing the government’s estimate for annual demand of 12,900 units.

During the budget announcement, the government also said it intended for 72,000 private homes to be built over the next five years of the scheme. Around 60 per cent of land would be supplied from new development areas, including Fanling North, Kwu Tung North, Hung Shui Kiu, Yuen Long South and Tung Chung, it added.

A surveyor said the land revenue forecast for the upcoming financial year was relatively “conservative”.

“As the value of commercial plots may not be as high as expected, while the residential market has started to show some stable signs, I think it is appropriate to set a rather conservative estimate,” the surveyor said.

The surveyor explained that land set aside for commercial use under the programme could struggle to fetch the government’s expected price tag, given similar sites were widely available on the current market.

Authorities could also offer more incentives for the private to bid on its residential plots, such as excusing developers from building care homes for the elderly or performing slope maintenance at sites.

Another surveyor said it was difficult to predict whether these residential plots could be sold.

Successful sales depended on whether the government offered accurate valuations for the plots based on the market conditions, in addition to whether there were fresh incentives to attract bidders, the surveyor explained.

Hong Kong gives first-home buyers a leg-up with trims to ad valorem stamp duty

Adjustments aimed at ‘easing the burden on ordinary families of purchasing their first residential properties’, Paul Chan says

Measure effective immediately, will benefit 37,000 buyers and cost the government around HK$1.9 billion a year

Hong Kong’s government will adjust a decade-old stamp duty on mass-market homes to help the city’s first-home buyers get on the property ladder, as it looks to make housing more affordable in the world’s most unaffordable housing market.

“Last year, more than 90 per cent of buyers of residential properties were first-time buyers,” Finance Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said in his budget announcement on Wednesday. “Having considered that no adjustments have been made to the value bands of the ad valorem stamp duty payable for the sale and purchase or transfer of residential and non‑residential properties since 2010, I have decided to make adjustments in this regard, with a view to easing the burden on ordinary families of purchasing their first residential properties, particularly small and medium residential unit.”

The ad valorem stamp duty will now be HK$100 (US$12.8) for homes worth up to HK$3 million, instead of HK$2 million previously, among other cuts. The changes apply to homes worth HK$10 million or below, with the difference up to HK$67,500 for properties worth HK$9 million ones, according to a property agency.

“We expect this should help reduce the burden of buyers of private properties priced at about HK$4 million to HK$6 million, which is the prevailing price for many first private homes,” said Raymond Cheng, managing director of CGS-CIMB Securities.

Wednesday’s relaxation comes after the city’s home prices fell 15.6 per cent in 2022, their biggest drop in 24 years. While the number of residential property transactions plunged by almost 40 per cent to a low of about 45,000 deals, the non-residential property market also went quiet.

The adjustments announced on Wednesday shall take effect immediately, Chan said, adding that it is anticipated that this measure will benefit 37,000 buyers and cost the government around HK$1.9 billion a year. Chan, however, said there was no plan to further relax housing market restrictions.

The measure will help relieve the burden of families that are buying their first homes or swapping for a new one, an agent said. This will boost transactions of small and medium residential units, he said, adding that homes worth less HK$10 million will be more sought after.

A majority of first-time property buyers will benefit from this change, which will most likely attract genuine users looking to acquire their first property, said Polly Wan, tax partner at Deloitte China. “Reducing the stamp duty can relieve some of the financial burden of first-time property buyers,” she said.

The adjustment was “definitely a surprise” and suggest the government listened to the industry’s opinions, another agent said.

But the impact might be limited, others said. “Although the government has made minor adjustments to the ad valorem stamp duty, it is expected to have little impact on the market and will not significantly push buyers to enter the market,” agent said.

The government should completely abolish the outdated special stamp duty and use the Buyer’s Stamp Duty to attract talent to the city, the agent said. The city should take a “tax exemption first, tax recovery later” approach so that the market can resume its due circulation and increase housing supply.

“The measure will not lead to a significant increase in housing demand in the residential market,” agent said. The agent estimated that for a property worth HK$9 million, homebuyers could save up to HK$67,500 after the adjusted stamp duty.

“I believe potential homebuyers will not make a buying decision because of tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in stamp duty. Luxury units worth over HK$10 million are not affected by the adjustment so there won’t be an impact on this segment,” the agent added.

The latest relaxation follows a slew of easing measures introduced over the past few years. For instance, in his first policy address in October 2022, Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu announced the refund of an extra stamp duty that non-locals paid when buying Hong Kong residential property. Eligible non-local buyers can claim the refund after they remain in the city for seven years and obtain permanent residence.

Non-locals pay the Buyer Stamp Duty and an ad valorem stamp duty, two taxes of 15 per cent, on property purchases. Under the new policy, non-locals can get a refund of the taxes and pay a lower ad valorem rate ranging from HK$100 to 4.25 per cent of the property value.

In the budget announced in February last year, the mortgage amounts available were raised to help buyers, with the loan-to-value ratio of 80 per cent increased to a maximum of HK$12 million from HK$10 million. First-home buyers who qualify for the higher 90 per cent mortgages can now borrow up to HK$10 million from the previous HK$8 million.

In November 2020, the Double Ad Valorem Stamp Duty, introduced in February 2013 to curb speculation, was scrapped for non-residential property after prices dropped and transactions slowed during the coronavirus pandemic and Hong Kong’s worst economic recession on record. Its maximum rate dropped back from 8.5 per cent to 4.25 per cent.

“Any adjustment will have a positive effect on weakening market sentiment,” said Donald Choi, CEO of Chinachem Group. The removal of these measures will also not lead to any market speculation, given the city’s slowing economy, he added.

“The proposed changes to the first homebuyer stamp duty is minute,” an agent said. “It reduces the stamp duty liability by 0.75 per cent of purchase price for homes under HK$9 million,” the agent added.

“This is at best a gesture to demonstrate the government is responding, but it will have near zero impact on reviving the market.”

Since the Hong Kong economy has just started to recover, it is understandable that the government may need more time to carefully assess the domestic property market trend before making any adjustments to its “hard measures”, said Paul Ho, financial services tax leader for Hong Kong at EY.

“The adjustment will reduce the burden for first-time homebuyers and small-to-medium size properties, whereas the ‘hard measures’ are really targeted at speculators to manage the demand side.”

新財年有3幅市區商業地推出，涉193萬呎樓面，其中「金鐘廊」商業地王最貴重，估計約200億或以上。

團結香港基金副總裁葉文祺表示，3幅商業地均處市區黃金地段，然而，現時寫字樓空置率偏高，未來數年為供應高峰，政府須小心處理流標風險。

料吸引大型發展商垂涎

金鐘廊商業地佔地約9.6萬方呎，料可建約107萬方呎，料樓面呎價1.8萬至2.1萬，估值193億至225億。有測量師指，政府未有「揀時機」賣地，可見其穩定供應的決心，不過，近期連推逾百億商業地，有力競投只數家發展商，市場「吃不消」。

3幅工業地涉樓面183萬呎

另一測量師預料，下半年市況回暖，屆時該地王招標較理想，核心區供應罕有，料大型發展商垂涎。

新財年還推出啟德第4C區4號商業 / 酒店地皮，佔地逾11.5萬方呎，可建逾86.3萬方呎，料樓面呎價3000至3600元，涉資26至31億。灣仔駱克道商業地佔地19881方呎，可建樓面逾23.85萬，估值21至26億，樓面呎價9000元至1.1萬。元朗宏福街3幢工業地皮，佔地共逾32萬方呎，總樓面183萬呎，料樓面呎價2800至3000元。

旺角洗衣街商業地今天截標，佔地約12.16萬方呎，可建總樓面約152萬方呎，估值約91.45億至121.93億，呎價約6000至8000元。

Kwun Tong flats hit the market

Bal Residence in Kwun Tong, developed by Lai Sun Development (0488) and the Urban Renewal Authority yesterday launched its first price list with 56 flats, with the cheapest at HK$5.8 million.

The average discounted price is HK$19,554 per square foot.

The 56 flats have areas of between 338 to 349 sq ft and are priced between HK$5.8 and HK$7.8 million - or HK$16,888 to HK$22,518 per sq ft - after a discount of 12 percent.

CK Asset (1113) and Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) meanwhile plan to launch the second phase of Grand Jeté in Tuen Mun next month encompassing a total of 400 units, mainly one and two-bedroom flats.

In Kai Tak, a project co-developed by six developers was launched.

The development of No 22 Shing Fung Road in Kai Tak, jointly developed by Henderson Land (0012), China Overseas Land and Investment (0688), New World Development (0017), Chinachem Group, Empire Group and Wheelock Properties, is located in the center of Park Peninsula.

The project involves 566 units with most being three and four-bedroom large-sized flats.

With an average floor area of about 1,000 sq ft per unit, the first batch of the project is tentatively scheduled for sale by tender.

下年度 (2023/24年度) 賣地計劃中，最矚目要數金鐘廊項目，估值高達200億元，屬於賣地表上最貴重的百億地王，將會成為太古地產 (01972) 、恒地 (00012) 等區內大地主之爭。

位於金鐘道83號的金鐘廊，早在1980年建成，屬於金鐘站上蓋商場並具行人天橋功能，雖然一直由政府持有，但多年來均由產業署批租予私人機構營運，早年有指曾設日資百貨松坡屋，近年則由會德豐承租，去到2014年開始政府便部署重建。

估值最高225億元

整幅地皮佔地9.6萬平方呎，由兩部分組成，包括東面的商用部分，以及西面約2.5萬平方呎的行人天橋及零售部分。按照過往規劃署披露的方案，用地總樓面逾100萬平方呎，包括可興建86萬平方呎商業樓面作辦公室及酒店用途，而基座部分需要興建一個14萬平方呎的商場，提供零售及餐飲，並作連接金鐘道南北兩端各商場的行人天橋。

至於西面的行人天橋部分高度限制僅21米高 (主水平基準以上)，故此大部分商業樓面預計會集中在東面的商業用地，最高可興建200米高商廈，相當於40至50層樓高，將會高於前方海富中心1及2座，中高層望維港，建成後將成為區內指標。

按照現時市場估值，金鐘廊地皮估值介乎154億至225億元，每呎樓面地價約1.44萬至2.1萬元不等。

相較之下，2017年同區批出的美利道商業地 (現發展成商廈 The Henderson)，每呎地價達5萬元，而2021年批出的新海濱3號商業地王，地價亦達3.1萬元。測量師普遍憂慮，商業市場仍未恢復，中環核心區空置率高達9%，加上項目規模龐大，預計發展商出價會較審慎。

由於金鐘廊位置具戰略意義，南面的太古廣場商廈群屬太古地產的核心資產之一，相信該財團會有興趣競投地皮，以鞏固商業王國；而近年先後奪得美利道及中環新海濱兩幅商業地王的恒地，亦不排除有意擴大版面，預計地皮將掀起一眾大型發展商之爭。

商業活動重啟 優質甲廈看高一綫

偉華蔡敬業：黃竹坑觀塘項目 年內推

今明兩年為甲廈供應高峰期，偉華置業執行董事蔡敬業指，集團今年將有觀塘及黃竹坑甲廈項目推出，他認為通關後商業氣氛轉好，而最重要是提供質素佳的甲廈，不擔心競爭大。

疫情下商務活動大幅放緩，連帶商業樓面需求降低，空置率上升。數據顯示，現時全港商廈空置率已達雙位數，為近十多年新高。蔡敬業認為，商業氣氛可隨着通關而轉好，「目前空置樓面多，要等待消化。疫情期間，機構放慢投資步伐，現在全面通關，商業活動重啟，不論新公司成立及機構擴充等，均會吸納商廈樓面，當然要時間慢慢消化。」

本身為廠家，他亦指近期與不同商業夥伴交流，「供應商、客人等，停頓的往來也重啟，絕對是好開始。」

在家工作 不會取代傳統商廈

疫情期間興起在家工作 (WFH)，他認為隨着復常，寫字樓的作用不會被取代，「辦公模式曾有改變，例如疫情高峰期，銀行職員在家工作，但近月各機構員工重返公司，WFH並無實際需要，有些機構一星期提供1至2天在家工作，故我不相信會取代傳統辦公樓面。」

偉華置業數年前曾發展首個工廈項目，其後主力發展寫字樓，今年集團共有黃竹坑及觀塘兩甲廈項目推出，會否擔心競爭激烈？他坦言不是完全不擔心供應多，但強調物業質素最重要，「我們對自家項目有信心，因投放很多資源提供質素高的大廈，吸引客戶搬遷或擴充。因為客人選擇多，不能只在價錢上競爭，他們會揀優質物業。」

VIVA PLACE將作長綫收租

黃竹坑為偉華集團發迹地，亦成集團地產項目主打地區，黃竹坑道24號的信誠工業大廈，集團由2013年開始收購，其後集齊業權，並以10.08億元完成補地價，每平方呎補地價約3,430元，發展為全新甲廈，總樓面約29.39萬平方呎，今年尾將入伙。蔡敬業指，「項目命名為『VIVA PLACE』，簡稱即VIP，供客戶選擇作優質辦公室。」整個項目投資額逾30億元，將作集團長綫收租項目，今年中進行招租。他指，項目賣點之一是樓面大，每層面積達1.6萬平方呎，同區新甲廈較罕有。

至於黃竹坑區，他則表示長期睇好，「黃竹坑最大優勢，是距離中環及金鐘僅10分鐘車程，租金卻平一截。此外，隨着大型住宅、商場落成，配套更為完善。」

至於集團首個甲廈拆售項目，為觀塘敬業街41號，提供29層寫字樓，每層面積約1.5萬平方呎，最細單位約1,800平方呎起。他透露，項目已取得入伙紙，準備下月推售。他認為，項目地點非常理想，「觀塘最繁忙的地段是相當擠塞，敬業街靠近海邊，對用戶來說較為理想，而大廈最高數層，較比鄰的甲廈還要高，景觀一流。」

大鴻輝突放售30億工商鋪物業 梁紹鴻：擬換貨吸納地盤

大鴻輝興業旗下一批工商鋪物業，市值逾30億，近日突然放售，該集團主席梁紹鴻表示，在全面通關、市況步向復常之際，正是買賣好時機，集團套現非核心物業，趁市況未升時，換貨吸納住宅地盤。

近日市場流傳大鴻輝一張放售清單，共有13項物業，市值由3700萬至11億不等，金額高達31億，該集團主席梁紹鴻回應本報指，近年集團轉型當發展商，需要龐大資金增加土儲，因而把握時機沽貨。「若稍待一段日子，或者下半年才賣，價錢一定賣得高些，不過，將白白錯過入貨時機！」

「地價跌幅快過樓價」

梁紹鴻指，近期大型地盤頻流標，地價跌勢快過樓價，市場不乏銀主貨，正是吸納地盤時機，「地盤資金龐大，集團因而大手套現！」他的目標為住宅地盤，皆因剛性需求強，得以貨如輪轉，規模則視乎套現多少而定；除了住宅外，他不沾手寫字樓，皆因供應過剩。

他認為，今年上半年，香港仍有2次加息機會，預期有機會升至3至4厘水平，仍跟美國5厘至5.5厘有距離，香港明年中才有條件減息，沽賣物業，不用靠銀行安排資金，現時並非1厘至2厘的低息年代。

「明年中有減息空間」

他又說，市場本來預期年中開關，不料，通關來得突然，他亦要迅速行動。他看好鋪市，現時到港的內地客，只是疫情前的20%，但廣東道已見排隊人龍，鋪位租售價有大升空間，雖然如此，他樂於沽售鋪位換貨，皆因當發展商的空間更大。

現時放售一批貨源，不少為早年購入，大鴻輝 (元朗) 大廈於2006年以6000萬購入，現時估值4.4億，大廈聚集教育等民生行業，收租穩定，他說，已接獲數名準買家洽購；至於香港仔添喜大廈基座，於2004年以1億多元購入，回報6至7厘，近年區內變天，港鐵能抵達，潛力大爆發。

大鴻輝梁紹鴻看好鋪市前景，惟強調當發展商的前景更佳，大手沽售鋪位。

製衣公司進駐 KC17 呎租40元創新高

九龍灣 KC17 (前稱高銀金融國際中心) 易手後，近期首錄1宗承租，月租64萬，呎租40元創該廈歷來新高，市場人士估計租客是一家金融公司，但原來不是，租客為一家睡衣製造及批發商，承租上址作為寫字樓。

易手後的高銀金融國際中心，市場人士稱之為「KC17」，皆因項目位處啟祥道17號，名稱取街道的英文名及號碼。

面積1.6萬方呎

大廈冠上新名稱，呎租亦創新高，該廈17樓1室，建築面積約1.6萬方呎，近日以月租639210元租出，平均呎租40元，新租客為佳達睡衣有限公司，有代理指，該家公司從事女裝、兒童及嬰兒服裝及配飾製造及批發。

市場人士透露，該廈近年平均呎租約30元，去年5月，該廈14樓1室，建築面積同為1.6萬方呎，以496480元租出，平均呎租31元，是次最新租賃，租金高出約30%，目前區內甲廈呎租介乎25至30元水平。

新加坡楓樹產業 (Mapletree) 聯同外資基金太盟投資 (PAG)，以56億購入高銀金融國際中心全幢，每呎6086元，對比區內甲廈呎價1萬至1.5萬，低市價至少逾30%，有趣的是「低買高租」，若以最新呎租40元計算，回報高達7.8厘。

連錄大手租賃

上環中遠大廈高層02室，建築面積約10180方呎，以每呎逾45元租出，月租45.8萬，是近年來大手租賃，該廈過去1年錄約14宗租賃，全部為5000呎以下，並集中在1000至3000方呎的單位。

去年第4季，整體甲廈空置率為16.8%，屬2004年首季以來的新高，不過，在全面通關後，市場終見曙光，尤其租賃活動明顯活躍，不論核心區或非核心區包括東九龍及黃竹坑，近期亦見連錄租賃。

消息指，新地觀塘 The Millennity 錄得大手租務，涉及1座20及21樓全層，每層面積約1.9萬平方呎，合共約3.8萬平方呎，成交呎租約28元。

據了解，新租客為一家本地設計公司，成立近50年，在港員工逾百包括設計師、專業人士等，而2019年，公司獲4大會計師行德勤收購，業務進一步拓展。該租客原租用大角咀嘉運大廈辦公室，由於業主將重建物業，故需尋找新寫字樓，現搬至全新甲廈。較早前，一家原租用嘉運大廈的跨國採購公司，租用啟德 AIRSIDE 22樓全層，面積約3.75萬平方呎。

項目預租率逾3成

新地 The Millennity 近日落成，項目位於觀塘巧明街98號，前身為九巴車廠，兩座大樓各提供20層甲級寫字樓，總樓面約65萬平方呎，其基座10層為大型商場。新地上月曾表示，大廈預租率逾3成，料連同近期成交，出租率有所提升。

整體甲廈租務稍加快，消息指，金鐘力寶中心一座中層01室，面積約2,040平方呎，以每呎約38元租出。另尖沙咀新港中心二座中層4室，面積約1,424平方呎，成交呎租約33元。

另外甲廈新盤銷情不俗，包括黃竹坑道23號連錄成交，其中1206室，面積約867平方呎，成交價約1,127萬元成交，呎價約1.3萬元。

甲廈空置處高位 1月升至12.2%

有外資代理行最新發表的香港地產市場報告中指出，由於農曆新年為傳統的寫字樓租賃市場淡季，1月香港甲級寫字樓市場錄得16,900平方呎的負淨吸納量。受農曆新年的傳統淡季影響，寫字樓市場錄得的租賃成交有限。今年1月底整體市場空置率上升至12.2%。中環和灣仔/銅鑼灣的空置率分別微升至8.9%和10.3%，而港島東的空置率則下跌至11%。

盡管空置率輕微上升，新落成的商廈仍然備受租戶追捧。資訊科技解決方案公司Nexify租用新落成的觀塘 The Millennity 全層樓面，涉及建築面積約12,600平方呎。該租戶將由同區的中海日升中心遷入該廈以提升辦公室質素。

新落成商廈 租戶追捧

該行代理表示，近期接獲來自保險及金融機構的租賃查詢增加，其業務料將受內地開關所帶動。香港的寫字樓市場租賃交投將於今年下半年錄得顯著改善。

1月整體市場租金按月下跌0.2%。各主要分區市場中，中環和灣仔/銅鑼灣租金均下跌0.2%，而尖沙咀租金保持平穩。

商舖市場方面，該行指，隨着旅遊開始恢復常態，去年12月入境訪客量及零售總銷貨額進一步回升。香港逐步放寬的入境限制和與內地的通關將推動遊客人數在未來數月更顯著地增長。然而，商舖租賃活動仍然呆滯。該行另一代理表示，不少商戶對承租商舖仍保持觀望態度。由於市場預期經濟將有所改善，部分商舖業主提高租金叫價，導致出價和叫價的差距擴大。

Pan Sutong sells stake in Kowloon Bay project

The former chairman of bankrupt Goldin Financial (0530) Pan Sutong has reportedly sold all of his 60 percent stake in a commercial redevelopment at 7 Wang Tai Road in Kowloon Bay to the SEA Group (0251).

SEA is said to own the remaining 40 percent stake in the project via the building owner Goldin Financial Global Square, as three SEA executives were introduced to the company in March 2019.

Last October, the corporate secretary of Goldin Financial Global Square was changed to SEA Secretarial (Hong Kong), which shares the same address as the SEA Group.

The Wang Tai Road site was to be rebuilt into an office building by the fourth quarter of 2021 but construction has stopped since 2020.

Property market picks up steam

Wheelock Properties' Koko Rosso in Lam Tin has received over 5,500 checks for 160 flats to be launched in tomorrow's second round of sales, making them 33 times oversubscribed.

And Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) plans to launch the first round of sales for Phase 2B of Novo Land in Tuen Mun this weekend at the earliest after 352 units on the first three price lists were 16 times oversubscribed with over 6,000 checks.

Henderson Land Development (0012) announced the sale of eight flats at One Innovale - Archway in Fanling North on Friday on a first-come, first-served basis.

The flats involved are sized between 208 and 329 square feet with a 1 to 4 percent raise in selling price, with the cheapest unit at HK$3.13 million.

Meanwhile, The Vertex in Cheung Sha Wan sold 31 completed flats this month, taking in a total of nearly HK$350 million, said VMS Asset Management.

Bal Residence in Kwun Tong, which is co-developed by the Urban Renewal Authority and Lai Sun Development (0488), will start sales in March at the earliest. While the project mainly offers one-bedroom units of about 350 sq ft, the sales will satiate the demand for new flats in Kwun Tong, which lacked new home supplies after Sino Land's (0083) Grand Central launched in 2018, a property agent said.

The luxury property market also showed a revival of sentiment as CK Asset's (1113) 21 Borrett Road sold a four-bedroom 2,541-sq-ft unit for HK$145.5 million via tender together with two parking lots, marking the first transaction recorded in the residence this year.

And Grand Victoria Phase One in Cheung Sha Wan, co-developed by Sino Land (0083), Wheelock, K Wah International (0173), and SEA Group (0251), sold a four-bedroom unit yesterday for HK$45.5 million.
