商廈買賣市況稍轉好，業界人士指，由於價格上已較之前調整，近期較多用家入市，買商廈單位自用。

據一間本港地產代理行每月10大指標甲廈統計，4月份 (反映3月份數字) 共錄3宗買賣。當中金鐘遠東金融中心2302室，面積約2,282平方呎，以約7,189萬元易手，呎價約3.1萬元，買家料為用家。按成交呎價計，已較高峰期同類單位下跌約4成。據悉，原業主於2016年底以約8,717萬元購入單位，如今持貨7年沽出，蝕約1,528萬元離場，蝕幅約18%。

通關後中資購商廈增，資料顯示，投資者以約2.55億元，沽出灣仔會展廣場辦公大樓單位，買家為中資機構。

至於近期市況上，灣仔會展廣場辦公大樓2702、08至12室，面積合共約8,206平方呎，以2.55億元沽出，呎價約3.1萬元，屬市價水平。單位擁海景、並對正電梯大堂，屬物業優質單位，以交吉交易。

翻查資料，原業主為資深投資者「台灣張」張彥緒，他於09年，以8,040萬元購入單位，較早前以2.95億元放售單位，如今減價約1成多沽出。持貨14年轉手，獲利約1.74億元，升值逾2倍。據了解，新買家為中資金融機構，原使用灣仔寫字樓，料購入單位自用。

息口仍高 甲廈租售價料平穩

另一幢位處核心區，較少成交的東昌大廈，亦錄全層買賣。物業7樓全層，建築面積約8,824平方呎，以每呎約2萬易手，涉資1.76億，新買家以買物業形式承接。據了解，原業主於1986年以1,323.6萬購入上址，並於1997年4月內部轉讓，現時大幅升值。

近期商廈另一焦點為新盤市場，宏基資本 (02288) 旗下黃竹坑道23號「宏基匯」首批單位在本年初推售，短短一個月內已售出約八成半單位，套現超過7億元，最高呎價達16,300元。項目暫沽出逾55伙，平均呎價約14,800元，買家方面，用家為主佔7成，另外有3成買家來自內地資金。

該行代理認為，自從通關後，商廈交投氣氛稍轉好，惟業主叫價硬淨，故成交仍然偏低。代理指，近期不少指標甲廈單位，以及新盤方面，均為用家入市為主，反映價格調整下，用家入市興趣提升。後市上，該代理指由於息口仍處高位，加上環球政局包括中美關係等因素，投資者仍抱審慎態度，料甲廈租售價仍平穩。

兩全層單位放租 呎租逾24

南島商業大廈配套齊全，交通便利，受到不少租戶歡迎。有代理表示，上環皇后大道中南島商業大廈多個單位現正放租，單位建築面積介乎445至3,450平方呎，業主意向每平方呎租金約24至25元。是次介紹單位為中層全層及高層全層。

實用率高 附寫字樓裝修

中層單位面積約3,450平方呎，意向租金82,800元，呎租24元。另外，高層單位面積同樣為3,450平方呎，意向租金86,250元，呎租25元。該代理表示，物業附寫字樓裝修，間隔方正，實用率高，辦公環境整潔舒適。現時放租的單位面積多元化，由分層到全層單位都有，適合不同規模的企業。

代理續指，政府去年底成立引進重點企業辦公室，積極吸引國內外企業，適逢上月起放寬防疫限制，本港經濟有望重拾增長，帶動營商氣氛改善。隨着經濟復甦，中上環核心商業區寫字樓樓面陸續獲吸納，供應買少見少，區內物業呎租由20元至40元不等。上述物業呎租屬低水，自身條件優越，料很快獲承租。

雅居樂九龍塘舊樓 周五強拍底價9.66億

市區土地新供應有限，近年不少內地財團積極在港「插旗」，收購舊樓項目進行重建。由雅居樂併購的九龍塘龍圃別墅，3月獲土地審裁處批出強拍令後，最新落實於本周五 (5日) 舉行公開拍賣，底價為9.66億。

龍圃別墅位於九龍塘義本道6號，雅居樂早於2020年7月向土地審裁處申請強拍，直至今年3月中旬獲該處批出強拍令，底價為9.66億，最新落實於周五舉行公開拍賣，並由萊坊負責。

全幢樓高5層

上址現為1幢樓高5層的舊樓，合共有44個單位，該舊樓早於1967年落成入伙，至今樓齡約56年。該項目地盤面積約21640方呎，若以地積比率3倍進行發展，涉及可建總樓面約64920方呎，以底價為9.66億計算，即每方呎樓面地價約14880元。

當時持有該項目的公司分別為超鴻投資公司、駿朗發展公司，登記地址均為雅居樂香港總部，當時申請強拍時公司董事分別為雅居樂集團主席兼總裁陳卓林、太太陸倩芳，以及雅居樂集團執行董事兼高級副總裁陳卓雄。

涉總樓面約64920呎

事實上，除上述項目外，近年雅居樂更進一步擴大於九龍塘收購的範圍，包括毗鄰的涵碧別墅亦獲該財團出價收購，據該公司年報顯示，該公司已持有約23%業權。

涵碧別墅位於義本道8至10號，地盤面積約27427方呎，若與是次獲批強拍令的項目合併發展，地盤面積擴展至4.9萬方呎，若以地積比率3倍發展，涉及可建總樓面約19.48萬方呎。

343 homes to hit market as weekend sales boom

At least 343 new homes will be put up for sale this week, following a strong performance in both the primary and secondary markets over the Labor Day long weekend.

Wheelock Properties will be offering 118 homes for sale at Monaco Marine in Kai Tak today. Among them, 110 will be available on the price list, while the remaining eight will be sold through a tender process.

Meanwhile, Sablier, a project co-developed by Chevalier International (0025) and the Urban Renewal Authority in Tai Kok Tsui, will launch nine one-bedroom flats for sale.

On Thursday, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) is set to put 216 flats at University Hill in Tai Po on the market.

As University Hill has been in high demand, the developer has decided to launch a new round of sales.

The upcoming release will feature a total of 216 units, with 191 being offered on the price list and the remaining 25 units being offered through a tender process. The total value of this batch is estimated to be almost HK$1.5 billion.

Besides, after selling all 150 flats on the price list in the first batch for over HK$1 billion last Saturday, SHKP had unveiled the fourth price list of 103 flats and fifth price list of 68 flats at University Hill.

The fourth price list includes one- to three-bedroom units, with a saleable area ranging from 278 to 640 square feet. Based on the 15 percent discount, the prices for these flats range from HK$4.44 million to HK$10.91 million.

The fifth price list includes studios and one- to three-bedroom units, with saleable areas ranging from 217 to 628 sq ft.

These flats are being offered at discounted prices that range from HK$3.25 million to HK$10.53 million.

According to SHKP, University Hill is the phase 2A of the Silicon Hill project. The upcoming release, phase 2B, is scheduled to launch next week.

The developer has received pre-sale consent for phase 2B, which includes a total of 688 apartments. Further information regarding the sales arrangement for these units will be released on Tuesday.

The Knightsbridge, which is located in Kai Tak, will be releasing its first price list for parking spaces today. The project is a joint venture between six developers.

A total of 116 parking spaces were listed on the first price list, with prices ranging from HK$3.5 million to HK$3.75 million. The combined total value was over HK$410 million.

Earlier, the developers had decided to launch the first batch of apartments through tender on Friday.

In the secondary market, a property agency said that the 10 major housing estates recorded a total of 16 transactions in the secondary market over the Labor Day weekend, with 14 transactions taking place on Saturday and Sunday alone - an eight-week high representing a 55.6 percent increase week-on-week.

Oyster Bay project to be relaunched

The MTR Corporation (0066) said it will improve the tendering terms for the first phase of Oyster Bay project and relaunch it later this year after a withdrawal in February.

The MTRC will adjust the terms to resolve technical problems and reduce risks for the developers in the new tender, said the property and international business director David Tang Chi-fai.

He noted that it is not the best time to land sales but will try to increase its competitiveness by amending the terms.

The increased interest rates and the large size of the Oyster Bay Project made developers cautious about the bidding, said Tang.

But the MTRC would put the important project in the market this year, reaffirmed Tang, as apart from providing home supply, it is also connected with the MTR station and shopping malls. The exact timing of the relaunch will be up to the external environment, he added. The company recently signed an agreement with the government on the land along the extended part of Tung Chung Line, and it expected to offer some 4,500 new units in the coming 10 months.

近期核心區地鋪租賃熱鬧，繼早前莎莎承租尖沙嘴星光行地鋪，毗鄰的另一個巨鋪，於丟空逾一年半後，剛以每月接近100萬租出，平均呎租235元，新租客為售賣名牌手袋的店鋪，租金較疫市前減44%。

上址為梳士巴利道3號星光行地下1及2號鋪，實用面積約4260方呎，自從舊租客屈臣氏遷出後，鋪位交吉逾一年半，業主年前曾以意向租80萬放租，今年通關後，租金叫價提高至120萬，市場消息透露，該巨鋪剛由一家售賣名牌手袋的店鋪承租，月租接近100萬，平均呎租235元，較2019年疫情前的月租180萬，租金大減44%。

租金較疫市前減44%

上一手為長情租客屈臣氏，承租接近23年，早於1998年底進駐，高峰期月租高逾200萬，直至疫情期間，業主曾減租至150萬，惟屈臣氏最終不敵市況寒冬，2021年10月遷出，鋪位丟空至今，終獲新租客垂青。若與月租高逾200萬比較，最新租金大跌50%。

該鋪位接近碼頭，鋪面向梳士巴利道，人流集中，屬區內旺段。上月，星光行地下3、4號及15號地鋪，建築面積約2500方呎，由莎莎以每月65萬承租，平均呎租260元。

平均呎租235元

莎莎簽3年梗約，另3年生約，租金跟隨市況調整。舊租客則為萬寧，亦於2021年底撤出，鋪位丟空至今。

業內人士指，萬寧早於2017年進駐，當年月租52萬，呎租260元，最新租金重返疫市前水平。該鋪位於2012年4月至2014年10月高峰期，由周大福承租，當時所用面積約2500方呎，與莎莎一樣，租金高達144萬，新租金與高位比較回落逾54%。

尖沙嘴星光行地鋪，曾由長屈臣氏承租逾22年，不敵疫市，最終於2021年10月底撤走。

中環銀座頂層 買方撻訂1700萬

土地註冊處資顯示，中環安蘭街18號銀座式商廈頂層特色單位，剛登記取消交易，估計買方損失約1,700萬元訂金離場。

栢麗大道改劃 重塑新趣味旅遊點

隨着中港全面通關，加上迎來復常後首個五一黃金周，來港的內地旅客增加，帶動本港消費。而以往屬於自由行購物熱點之一的栢麗購物大道，去年已經獲城規會「開綠燈」，將改劃為自助餐廳、咖啡室、零售等用途，相信未來有望續成區內地標及旅客景點之一。

已獲批作飲食零售用途

位於尖沙咀一綫地段的栢麗購物大道，在疫情前深受旅客歡迎，惟在過去3年多的疫情打擊下，其生意受重創，因此項目的業主立案發團在去年中已經向城規會申請改劃。

改劃內容涉及彌敦道111至139號、143至161號及165至181號栢麗購物大道地下及1樓，申請人將原有的「休憩用地」土地用途，改劃為「食肆」及「商店及服務行業」，並以地積比率約1.41倍發展，總樓面涉約8.22萬平方呎。據申請文件，項目日後將提供任何類型的商店及服務行業，及主要提供小食茶點的食肆，包括自助餐廳、咖啡室及茶室。同時，項目建議為「食肆」用途加入「不超過50%總樓面面積」的限制，以減低對九龍公園環境及於彌敦道成齡樹影響的風險。

申請人當時亦表示，擬為項目增加趣味點或「打卡位」，以應對社會經濟和市場的變化，並為彌敦道最寬闊的一段提升公共空間的趣味性，供本地居民及遊客使用。城規會於去年底亦已經批准上述改劃，意味項目日後將「大變身」，而隨旅客重返香港，估計項目有望再成區內的新旅遊景點。

同區9重建項目 總樓面逾112萬呎

事實上，尖沙咀屬傳統核心商業區，新商業用地供應罕有，故發展商積極透過收購區內舊樓，以作重建。初步統計下，區內有至少9個重建項目，總樓面合共涉約112萬平方呎。

而當中最大規模的重建項目，是3月發生火警的中間道11號酒店項目重建地盤 (前「海員之家」)。項目早於90年代開始傳出重建計劃，至近年海員俱樂部決定跟帝國集團合作，將重建成1幢40層高酒店，總樓面約34.7萬平方呎，包括30萬平方呎酒店樓面由發展商營運，約5萬平方呎樓面則預留給海員俱樂部，以作教堂及會所。就發展商透露，項目原擬於2024年開業，但在大火發生後，未知重建進度會否受阻。

4核心區舖 首季空置率回落至10%

本港進一步復常，帶動本港零售市場，商舖空置率回落。有代理行數據顯示，今年首季4核心區商舖空置率回落至約10%，料將繼續下跌。

餐飲業務增 帶動街舖需求升

該行指，今年首季銅鑼灣、中環、尖沙咀、旺角4個核心區共錄得746間吉舖，按季減少99間，回落至最新約10%。即使目前內地來港的旅客以觀光的「廉價團」為主，惟因旅客必須用膳，餐飲業得以最先受惠於旅客的增長。

在4核心區最新錄得2,021間餐廳，較去年第3季增加54間，其中，淨增長最多的兩類食肆為非中式餐館及中式餐館，增幅分別達20間及19間，咖啡店及甜品店則上升11間。

按地區劃分，餐廳增幅最大的區域集中於尖沙咀區及旺角區，分別錄得25間及16間店舖的淨增加，而銅鑼灣區及中環區的餐飲業則錄得溫和擴充，分別增9間及4間食肆。

該行代理指，餐飲業及必需品相關行業的商戶將繼續成為租賃街舖的主力，並帶動各大購物區的空置率繼續回落，當中4核心區商舖空置率於第3季將會下跌8.5%至9.5%的水平，並料今年全年核心區商舖租售價將上升20%至25%。

BRAND OFF每月35萬轉租The ONE 彌敦道分店約滿 遭藥妝商提價截糊

中港全面通關近3個月，核心零售區舖位租賃成交增加，但都是由藥房或藥妝店承租為主，其他零售品牌租舖態度仍審慎，伺機尋找租金低水的舖位租用。日本二手名牌店BRAND OFF現時位於尖沙咀彌敦道良士大廈的地舖分店，突遭藥妝店提價72%搶租，近日以每月35萬元轉租同區大型商場The ONE正門的一線靚舖，面積增大近1.5倍。

BRAND OFF最新承租尖沙咀彌敦道100號The ONE地下GA1號舖，建築面積約2964方呎，月租約35萬元，呎租約118元。該舖處於The ONE商場正門，面向彌敦道，屬一線舖位。

商場正門靚舖 較疫前平56%

資料顯示，此舖之前由瑞士名貴手錶品牌歐米茄 (OMEGA) 承租多年，2013年曾以高達200萬元承租，呎租達675元，屬租金最高位。其後零售市況不景，該舖租金一直向下，至2018年已減租至80萬元，呎租回落到270元。直至兩年前，歐米茄終在租約期滿後不續租離場。

過去兩年，上址一直由本地時裝品牌包浩斯 (00483) 旗下品牌以短租形式經營，估計月租在30萬元以下。該舖位獲BRAND OFF洽談後落實承租，但月租較疫情前的80萬元低56.3%之餘，更較最高位大瀉82.5%。

現時BRAND OFF在尖沙咀的分店位於彌敦道27至33號良士大廈地下C2號舖連閣樓，地下建築面積約600方呎，連一個相同面積的閣樓，總建築面積約1200方呎，位置在彌敦道及北京道交界大單邊，在2021年5月以每月25萬元租用，呎租208元，簽約2年。

該分店租約今年5月到期，由於此舖在疫情前月租達80萬元，業主看好通關後市況，故大幅提價一倍至50萬元放租，短時間內獲藥妝店出價43萬元搶去舖位，較BRAND OFF現時月租大幅高出72%，呎租升至358元。

BRAND OFF因離場在即，只好在同區尋覓另一據點，是次成功租得The ONE商場地舖，面積較良士大廈舖位多1764方呎或1.5倍。

中資券商栢麗大道插旗

傳統連鎖零售商戶暫未見大舉租舖，造就其他行業進駐一線街舖。同區彌敦道111至181號栢麗購物大道G15、G16號舖及1樓8號舖，面向The ONE，地下建築面積約1302方呎，1樓建築面積約1342方呎，合共建築面積約2644方呎，有指以每月20萬元租出，呎租約76元。據悉，新租戶為一間中資券商，租用地舖作為分行。

此舖原租戶為連鎖珠寶金行六福 (00590)，在去年底撤出。資料顯示，該舖月租最高位曾見103.5萬元，最新租金較高位下挫80.7%。

Mortgage wars back in city as rate hike cycle nears the end

Major local banks are competing for mortgage customers again, with the Hongkong Shanghai Banking Corporation and BOC Hong Kong (2388) reportedly raising their cash rebates to up to 2.6 percent and Standard Chartered HK lowering the rate cap by 0.25 percentage points.

The incentives come as the US interest rates are expected to peak soon and the sentiment of the Hong Kong property market has improved recently.

HSBC and BOCHK have increased the cash rebates to the mortgage clients, offering 2.55 percent for the loan amount of HK$3 million and above, and 2.6 percent for the loan amount of no less than HK$7 million, local media reported.

Another major lender Standard Chartered is rumored to lower the cap rate for mortgage plans based on Hong Kong interbank offered rate to 3.375 percent from 3.625 percent, in addition to the plans for a higher cash rebate.

The maximal 2.6 percent of cash rebates would mark a record high since 2007, according to a mortgage broker. And the cash incentives have kept climbing from the low of 0.8 percent in November 2020, the broker said.

The incentives could partly come with the expectations that the US Federal Reserve is likely to pause the interest rate hike or even reduce this year, the broker noted, despite another expected 25 basis-point rate rise on Wednesday.

The improved sentiment in the local property market, followed by the border reopening, will be another push for mortgage incentives.

The first-quarter private home price index rebounded 5 percent from the previous three-month period, data from the Rating and Valuation Department showed. The January-March reading marked the largest quarterly growth in four years, after a 15 percent slump last year.

The mortgage broker expects the market share of major banks to rebound with the latest incentives, after shrinking for two months in a row to 68.3 percent as of April.

However, the local banks are still under pressure to raise their prime rates again, which the other major mortgage plan is based on, as the Fed has not finished with the rate hike and the Hong Kong lenders have held their rates twice.

Meanwhile, the borrowing costs between Hong Kong banks are climbing. The one-month mortgage-related Hibor rose for nine days in a row to 3.41071 percent yesterday, marking a one-month high.

商人陳紅天月前先後被接管3項物業，最新有突破性進展，接管人已委託測量師行，即將標售該3項物業，其中以紅磡祥祺中心最矚目，屬罕有全幢甲廈，適合作集團總部。

深圳祥祺集團主席陳紅天，在2015年8月至2016年7月的11個月內，斥69.87億掃貨，轟動市場，不過，今年2月開始，旗下物業先後被接管，成為焦點。市場消息透露，最新3項物業接管程序已經完成，接管人委託代理標售物業，其中，紅磡祥祺中心最矚目，屬市場上矚目的全幢甲廈，適合作集團總部。

OPUS唯一放盤市值6.8億

祥祺中心前身為 One Harbour Gate 東座全幢，包括商廈連商鋪，陳紅天於2016年6月以45億承接，用作集團總部，當時造價位列全港寫字樓最高第6位，九龍區排行第3，以總樓面約28萬方呎計算，呎價約16071元，較中國人壽保險 (海外) 在2015年購入毗鄰的 One Harbour Gate 西座 (中國人壽中心) 高出近8%。

今年3月28日，祥祺中心大堂貼出通告，指根據抵押人 Cheung Kei Center Limited 與恒生之間、於2019年4月抵押協議，恒生已委任羅兵咸的合夥人蘇文俊及莊日杰為抵押資產接管人，3月28日生效，有關抵押資產包括祥祺中心 A、B座商廈，連同155個車位及8個電單車車位。

歌賦山道地皮購入價21億

東半山傲璇 (OPUS) 5樓一個單位，面積5154方呎，由陳紅天與太太於2015年8月聯名購入，作價3.87億，呎價約7.51萬，於今年2月被會計師樓接管，昨日消息廣傳，有關代理已積極覓客，該豪宅為 OPUS 目前唯一放盤，估價6.8億，呎價約13.2萬，將以非交吉形式標售。至於山頂歌賦山道15號地皮，今年3月初被接管，為陳紅天於2016年6月向莊士國際購入，作價21億，重建總樓面9235方呎，樓面呎價高達22.74萬，創豪宅呎價新高。

紅磡祥祺中心、東半山傲璇 (OPUS) 單位及山頂歌賦山道15號地皮，即將推出標售，為市場上最矚目的銀主盤。

華潤置地1.4億 收購油塘工廈全層

增持約2.47萬呎 區內轉型具重建價值

油塘工業區轉型為住宅區，不少財團正積極併購物業。油塘華東貨倉全層工廈樓面，以1.4億元易手，買家為華潤置地，該集團早年亦曾大手購入該廈樓面，現作增持加快收購進度。

資料顯示，油塘東源街4號華東貨倉錄全層成交，涉及物業3樓全層，以1.4億元易手，物業面積約24,732平方呎，是次成交呎價約5,661元。原業主於1988年以900萬元購入物業，持貨35年轉手，獲利約1.31億元，升值逾14倍。

據了解，買家為中資華潤置地旗下公司，而該集團本身亦持有物業樓面，是次進行增持。

屬臨海物業 已擁大部分樓面

華東貨倉建於1978年，樓高7層，佔地約2.6萬平方呎。由於地盤規模大，加上位處臨海，重建住宅具有一定價值。2017年，華東貨倉一老牌業主，標售物業1、4、5及6樓合共4層，面積共98,928平方呎，佔物業41.27%業權，結果以約3.98億元易手，呎價約4,023元，當時由華潤置地購入。另2018年，該集團亦購入地下部分，如今再增購1層樓面，換言之估計集團已購入物業大部分樓面。

華潤集團亦曾把工廈物業發展住宅，如本年初就長沙灣潤發倉庫與政府達成換地協議，涉補地價金額逾137億元，亦為歷來最大金額市區補地價項目，涉及每平方呎樓面補價約8,692元，料建約2,500伙。

現時油塘屬於住宅及工業綜合社區，以茶果嶺道為分界，北部以住宅區為主，包括油塘邨、油翠苑、油塘中心等，而南部分別是鄰近港鐵油塘站的油塘灣工業區，以及東源街、高輝道交界一帶的工業區，兩者近年均已在加速轉型。

區內重建項目 料供近3400伙

其中東源街、高輝道一帶現時以分層工廈為主，過去10年陸續有工廈重建成住宅項目，例如包括嘉賢居、鯉灣天下等。目前正在進行規劃及重建中的項目，則仍有5個，合共將提供近3,400伙。

其中，長實 (01113) 旗下東源街5及8號項目，發展商已經在2年前補地價約22.1億元，將工業地轉為興建4幢住宅大廈，提供約800伙，預計以中、小型單位為主，將會在今年推售樓花。

併購方面，曾經在區內收購工廈重建成曦臺的宏安 (01222) ，去年以5.8億元購入油塘四山街18至20號油塘工業大廈第4座8成業權，料統一業權後，將發展住宅項目。

Holidays drive home transactions down

The Land Registry recorded 4,583 agreements for the sale and purchase of homes last month, which slumped by 31.5 percent from March but was up 17.6 percent from 12 months ago.

The total value of the agreements, however, slid only 9.5 percent month-on-month and was 49 percent higher than April last year.

A property agency said the decline was mainly due to more public holidays in April and a high base in March.

Between January and April the primary and secondary markets saw a combined total of 20,583 residential property transactions, which marked a significant increase of 41.5 percent from 14,545 transactions in the corresponding period last year.

Meanwhile, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) launches the second round of sales for 216 flats at University Hill in Tai Po today.

The response has already been overwhelming, with the project receiving 10,469 checks for 191 flats on the price list. That means a 54-times oversubscription rate.

The developer also sold six homes at University Hill via tender yesterday, which brought in a total of HK$53 million.

The prices for these homes ranged from HK$5.22 million to HK$11.71 million.

In Yuen Long, Star Group (1560) is set to release 75 apartments for sale and one by tender at After The Rain on Saturday. The apartments range from studios to three-bedroom flats, with discounted prices starting at HK$4.21 million.

Hong Kong homeowners cutting prices drastically even as secondary property market continues to climb

Homeowners have cut the asking prices of 1,763 homes out of the 22,352 units listed for sale on a property agency’s website

A homeowner at Casa Marina II in Tai Po sold the unit after reducing the asking price by HK$3.8 million (US$484,000), or 17.4 per cent, according to another agency

An increasing number of homeowners in Hong Kong have been reducing their asking prices despite a key property index hitting a six-month high, indicating a weakening confidence in the market’s ability to remain elevated for longer.

While the market remains on the upswing, buoyed by an improving economy following the reopening of the border with mainland China after the Covid-19 pandemic, there are signs of a potential slowdown, with some homeowners looking to avoid increased competition from developers who are launching new projects, according to analysts.

Homeowners have lowered the asking prices for 1,763 units, representing 7.9 per cent of the total 22,352 units available for sale on the website of a property agency, one of the major property agents in the city.

“Potential buyers may hesitate to enter the market due to price increases in the first three months of the year,” said Raymond Cheng, managing director of CGS-CIMB Securities. But it may not necessarily indicate a long-term downward trend in home prices, according to Cheng.

The Rating and Valuation Department’s home price index for March climbed 1.35 per cent to 351.4, the highest since 360.3 in September. It was the third straight monthly increase, with gains in Hong Kong’s secondary market adding up to about 5 per cent for the year. But the growth slowed compared with February, when the index gained 2.22 per cent, the most in 33 months.

A homeowner at Casa Marina II in Tai Po sold their unit after reducing the asking price by HK$3.8 million (US$484,000), or 17.4 per cent, to HK$18 million, according to data provided by another agency.

The agency’s index, which reflects the degree of confidence of owners who have put their homes for sale, has declined for the two consecutive weeks.

As of May 1, the index fell by 2.7 per cent week on week to 61, following a 3.7 per cent decline the previous week.

The index, which is calculated based on the price changes of properties for sale on the agency’s website, represented a drop of 5 per cent month on month.

When the index declines, it reflects more price cuts on properties for sale, indicating prices are likely to go down further.

The number of properties changing hands, including residential, commercial and industrial units as well as parking spaces, sank almost one-third month-on-month to a three-month low of 5,755 in April, according to Land Registry data released on Wednesday. The total value sank 7.5 per cent to HK$63.74 billion (US$8.1 billion).

The secondary market saw the number of deals nosedive 38.2 per cent to a three-month low of 2,766 in April, according to another agency’s estimates.

“It reflects the outbreak of the banking crisis in Europe and the United States during March, the volatility of the global financial market, and the interest rate discussion in the United States,” an agent said. “The market tended to wait and see, which slowed down local property market transactions.”

Notably, the secondary market saw the number of deals nosedive 38.3 per cent to a three-month low of 2,766 in April, according to the agency’s estimate, as bargains became rarer and competition from new launches heated up.

Yeung expects the total number of transactions in May to fall again, this time by about 10 per cent because of a lack of big new launches in April. The figure mainly reflects the market conditions in the previous month because of the time needed to register transactions to the Land Registry.

An agent predicts the number will sink 13 per cent to about 5,000 in May.

Another agent predicted home prices in the city will change direction and eventually could fall more than 5 per cent for the whole of 2023, citing challenging economic fundamentals and global geopolitical tensions.

“I expect residential prices to trend downward as transaction momentum turns slower due to pent-up demand being digested,” agent said.

“Even if the interest rate peaks, the current level of more than 5 per cent can negatively affect the willingness to invest in the property market. And the global and China economies remain surrounded by geopolitical tensions.”

In addition, developers have an abundant supply of unsold units, which may force them to undercut one another and speed up sales, agent said.

Private housing supply in Hong Kong is likely to hit 107,000 units in the next three to four years, according to an update provided by the Housing Bureau on Friday.

However, Cheng of CGS-CIMB expects home price to rise by an average of 5 per cent as interest rates are likely to peak this year. He also expects housing demand and prices to sustain amid an improving economy in Hong Kong and increased cross border travel.

His views were echoed by an agent who said the Top Talent Pass Scheme could provide a new source of demand for homes as more people move to Hong Kong.

日資公司沽貨18年間升1.49倍

原業主為Rohm Elecronics (Hong Kong) Company Limited，為日資公司，於2005年1月以1.02億購入連同上址在內的一籃子物業 (14樓2至11號單位)，建築面積共約18127方呎，平均呎價5627元，若以呎價計算，售出單位於18年升值1.49倍。據了解，上述單位為高層單位，望廣東道景觀。

該廈於2019年疫情前，呎價普遍1.8萬至1.9萬，最新造價下跌20%；相比2018年商廈市況高峰期，該廈16樓6室，建築面積約1947方呎，造價4478.1萬，平均呎價2.3萬，最新造價較高位回落39%。

造價較2018年高位回落39%

上述1407室原業主為日資公司，近年市場屢錄日資公司沽商廈，年前，日本玩具生產商TOMY亦沽售同區星光行一籃子全海景寫字樓單位，12樓07至12室、同層14至16及16A室，建築面積約9621方呎，屬全海景辦公室單位，作價逾1.443億，呎價約1.5萬，較2020年初同廈同類單位的呎價約2.1萬元，亦大幅回落近30%。原業主80年代購入該批商廈單位，因此獲利可觀。

港非核心甲廈租金低廉 外資代理行：較新加坡平最多75%

有外資代理行發表最新研究報告，港府和新加坡就吸引人才及跨國公司 (MNC) 設立亞太區總部方面不相伯仲。

兩地在亞太區影響力、人才供應和吸引力，寫字樓租售價格表現相若，港寫字樓空置率高企、非核心區價錢實惠，未來寫字樓供應充足。

中環較新加坡核心區高40%

新加坡商廈租金回復疫情前水平，對業主有利，港寫字樓租金低於疫情前水平，並預計2024年前將進一步下降，截至2022年第四季度，香港中環甲廈較新加坡核心區高約40%，然而，非核心區租金較中環核心區及新加坡非核心區租金低最多75%。

該行代理表示，中資企業回歸，帶動上市及相關金融活動，金融服務業在過往15個月中佔新租賃25%；香港將成為亞洲醫療保健樞紐，將推動寫字樓需求。

港擁有較多金融人才，新加坡較多科技專才，香港被認為全球最難負擔住屋市場，然而，兩地之間住宅租金差距迅速收窄，港住宅租金於2022年出現10年來最大跌幅，新加坡租金過往3年急升，或甚至很快超越九龍及新界區等區。

代理行：上月工商鋪錄367宗註冊

工商鋪交投回軟，有本地代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示，4月份工商鋪共錄367宗註冊，按月跌約18.6%，金額錄40.33億，按月減少約30.9%，隨着經濟復甦，五一黃金周銷售表現符合預期，工商鋪交投可望得到支持。

整體按月跌18.6%

當中各板塊宗數全綫下跌，商廈按月微跌約6.4%至103宗，工廈按月減少15.4%，最新錄203宗。由於旅客增加，鋪主叫價趨強硬，註冊量跌幅最大，按月跌39.6%，共錄61宗註冊。

若按金額劃分，4月份註冊量最多的為價值500萬或以下的物業，共錄225宗註冊，按月跌26.2%，其次為逾500萬以上至1000萬及1,000萬以上至2,000萬的物業，最新分別錄得93宗及66宗的登記，按月分別減少7.9%及4.3%。

在4月共錄得2宗價值逾億註冊成交，當中工廈及商鋪各佔1宗。其中，一個本地海味品牌購入荃灣和富大廈的地廠部分，註冊金額為1.78億。此外，旺角友康大廈另一個鋪位再度錄得註冊成交，作價為1.15億。

外資代理行：首季甲廈空置率 升至13.4%

本港寫字樓租賃市場在本年首季繼續表現疲軟，有外資代理行指，整體甲級寫字樓租金按季下跌1.9%，空置率則上升至13.4%

該行報告指，2023年首季的租賃活動主要來自政府和公營機構。隨着九龍東等非核心地區提供更多待租樓面和更實惠的租金 (該區首季空置率為21.8%，平均實質租金為每平方呎27元)，一些公營機構乘着淡市及租金下調的機會，整合其營運規模以節省租金，選舉事務處在觀塘創紀之城一期租用了3萬平方呎寫字樓樓面就是一例。

港島東租金 按季跌3.1%

本港整體甲級寫字樓空置率自去年第4季的12.9%升至首季的13.4%，其中港島南區的空置率按季升6.1%，升幅為各區之冠，主要由於帝國集團於黃竹坑道36號的商業項目剛落成並提供一定可租用樓面；九龍西則因為長沙灣的租賃需求強勁，空置率從上季的8.9%跌至本季的8.0%。各區甲廈租金續錄跌幅，尤以港島東為甚，按季下跌3.1%。

該行預期，寫字樓租金在短期內仍會進一步受壓。目前市場上已有超過930萬平方呎待租樓面，加上未來4年再有750萬平方呎的新增供應投入市場，即使寫字樓吸納量能夠回復至2011至19年的平均每年130萬平方呎水平，及至2026年整體寫字樓空置率仍將升至15%的水平。

因此，本港寫字樓市場急需新的租賃需求。港府於3月下旬舉行的「裕澤香江」高峰論壇上，介紹了多項政策措施及稅務優惠等，冀可吸引總資產值超過2.4億元的環球家族辦公室在香港部署財富策略。除了現時在港營運的約800個家族辦公室外，政府還希望及至2025年能吸引至少200個家族辦公室在香港建立新業務或擴大現有業務。

該行代理指出，年初通關後，促進了資金和人員的流入，保險和醫療相關公司亦最先受惠。

代理表示，雖然現時本港的家族辦公室大多是租用5,000平方呎或以下的較小規模樓面，但如果香港有愈來愈多家族辦公室營運，則可促進以高資產淨值個人和家族為目標的財富管理和私人銀行相關業務的增長，從而衍生與這些金融行業相關的租賃需求。

五一黃金周大批旅客訪港，酒店入住率理想，吸引業主放售酒店。現鄧成波家族，推出觀塘及葵涌兩酒店項目，市值合共約28億元。

馬亞木早於2003年，以720萬元購入舖位，持貨20年轉手，獲利約5,680萬元，升值近8倍。

2,771 flats to rise by Fairview Park

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) has won approval from the Planning Department to build more than 2,700 residential flats next to the low-rise Fairview Park in Yuen Long.

The project on Kam Pok Road was initially approved for the development of detached houses but in 2021, SHKP applied to change the plan from a mansion development to one of apartment buildings. Instead of 71 detached houses, SHKP will now construct 2,771 flats with an average size of 460 square feet.

The plan is expected to be approved by the Town Planning Board today. The project is adjacent to the planned Ngau Tam Mei MTR station of the North Link, and the revised plan includes the construction of 14 buildings.

Hong Kong homebuyers ignore rising interest rates as they snap up flats at Sun Hung Kai Properties’ University Hill project in Tai Po

Sun Hung Kai Properties sold all 191 flats on offer by 5.30pm on Thursday, hours after HSBC raised its best lending rate by 12.5 basis points to 5.75 per cent

The property sale coincided with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s latest rate hike, which took the base rate to a 15-year high

Homebuyers turned up in droves and snapped up the second batch of flats at Sun Hung Kai Properties’ University Hill project in Tai Po, New Territories, on Thursday, even after HSBC raised its prime rate within hours of the latest interest-rate hike by Hong Kong’s de facto central bank.

Hong Kong’s biggest developer sold out all 191 units available by 5.30pm, suggesting that homebuyers have shrugged off rising mortgage loan costs, according to agents.

“The market expects this to be the last round of rate hikes, so buyers are not too worried,” a property agent said. “Also many potential buyers were not able to join the first round of the project’s sale, so they showed up today.”

The flats on offer ranged from 229 sq ft to 640 sq ft, with smallest unit going for HK$3.25 million (US$414,125) and the biggest for HK$11.4 million, after discounts of as much as 15 per cent.

The second round of sales coincided with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s quarter-point rate hike, which took its base rate to a 15-year high in lockstep with the Federal Reserve’s latest round of policy tightening to curb inflation in the US.

HSBC, the city’s biggest commercial lender, increased its best lending rate in the city by 12.5 basis points to 5.75 per cent from Friday, a move that was followed by some of its peers, including Bank of East Asia.

The 12.5-basis-point increase will add HK$347, or 1.6 per cent, to HK$22,452 in monthly instalments on a typical HK$5 million, 30-year home loan, according to a local mortgage broker.

Overall, the impact of the higher lending rates on Hong Kong’s primary residential market was likely to be minimal, as the hike was expected but not significant, according to another agent.

Another agent expected the rising interest rates to have little impact on home sales in the city. While he predicted an overall increase in property sales of 15 to 20 per cent, prices could remain flat or decline by as much as 5 per cent.

“Banks could raise prime rates at least one or two more times this year,” the agent said. “This will have a greater impact on the secondary market.”

Others, however, expect demand to likely be stymied by the rising financing costs.

“The impact of the latest increase may be marginal, but the cumulative adverse effect since the beginning of the rate hike cycle has not ended,” agent said. “Mortgage rates are likely to stay elevated, which is not conducive for demand growth.”

In the second round of University Hill’s sales, more than 10,000 prospective buyers had registered their intent to buy, meaning 52 potential buyers were competing for one flat.

Some 60 per cent of the buyers on Thursday were from the previous round on Saturday, when SHKP sold all 150 units, an agent said.

祥祺集團旗下物業淪銀主盤，代理表示，獲銀主委託標售紅磡祥祺中心全幢寫字樓，市場估值逾50億元。

全球招標 總樓面約28萬呎

代理公開招標出售九龍紅磡紅鸞道18號One HarbourGate東座祥祺中心，物業總樓面面積合共約28萬平方呎，現為永明金融香港總部。代理將為物業進行全球招標，截標日期為2023年8月28日（星期一）。市場人士估計，物業市值約50億元。

2016年陳紅天的祥祺集團向會德豐地產，以45億元購入紅磡One Harbour Gate東座作總部，易名為祥祺中心。物業由一幢寫字樓及一幢商舖組成。寫字樓樓面約25.4萬平方呎；商舖樓面約2.6萬平方呎，總樓面面積約28萬平方呎，以45億元成交價計，呎價1.6萬元。

另代理資料顯示，4月份市場共錄得約322宗工商舖買賣個案，總成交金額約55.05億元，對比3月份分別減少約20%及33%，按年亦遞減約9%及40%。該行指因適逢4月清明節及復活節相近，因而令月內工商舖買賣氣氛稍降溫，造成價量齊跌的局面。

工商鋪買賣錄322宗 代理：按月減少20%

上月不少投資者外遊，買賣氣氛回落，地產代理統計，4月份僅錄約322宗工商鋪成交，總金額約55.05億，按月分別減少約20%及33%。

代理表示，上月份工商鋪買賣按年遞減約9%及40%，隨着疫情消退，各國旅遊業復甦，港人尤愛外遊，適逢4月清明節及復活節相近，不少投資者趁長假外出旅行，今月內工商鋪價量齊跌。

金額55億按月減33%

代理續表示，三個範疇中以工商物業較穩健，4月份錄約215宗成交，按月微減約15%，但對比2022年同期仍有約9%增長。受高度關注的鋪市表現窄幅上落，4月共約59宗成交，按月微減約17%。隨着旅遊業轉旺，租賃市場升溫，料慢慢帶動買賣氣氛。

寫字樓物業為較疲弱一項，4月份共錄約48宗成交，按月跌約38%，但月內中資流入香港商廈見趨勢，當中指標商廈灣仔會展廣場辦公大樓2702、08至12室獲中資機構買入，成交價約2.55億，總面積約8206方呎。

Weekend sales languish, developer cuts discounts

Second-hand home deals hit a 44-week-low over the weekend with only two deals at 10 major housing estates as interest rate hikes and inclement weather kept buyers away.

The primary market, meanwhile, saw CK Asset (1113) cut discounts for its El Futuro project in Kau To Shan and more homes set for launch.

Data from a property agency showed only two second-hand homes sold at the 10 estates, down by 85.7 percent weekly and marking a new low in 44 weeks.

Whampoa Garden and Caribbean Coast in Tung Chung saw one transaction each, with no deals recorded from the other eight tracked housing estates.

Stormy weather yesterday affected home viewings in many districts, an agent said.

Besides, the quiet secondary market could also be due to prime rate increases by major local banks in the wake of the US Federal Reserve's rate hike last week, an agent said.

Meanwhile, the primary market seemed unaffected by the interest rate hikes with developers still racing to release new homes.

CK Asset HAS revised the payment schemes for its completed luxury project El Futuro in Kau To Shan, reducing the highest discount to 10.25 percent from 14.25 percent, and will launch the sale of 29 units this Thursday as well.

El Futuro offers a total of 266 homes and has sold 189 of them for HK$2.87 billion.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), meanwhile, has released a second price list of 115 flats at University Hill Phase 2B in Pak Shek Kok, only two days after unveiling the first price list of 138 flats.

The average price after discounts is HK$16,168 per sq ft, nearly the same as the HK$16,288 sq ft for the previous batch.

The 115 homes cost between HK$3.33 million and HK$8.92 million after discounts, and comprise 13 open units, 9 one-bedroom, 90 two-bedroom and 3 three-bed flats with areas ranging from 218 to 546 sq ft.

The cheapest unit in this price list covers 218 sq ft and is priced at HK$15,255 per sq ft after discounts.

SHKP plans to reveal the sales arrangement for University Hill Phase 2B today or tomorrow and sales could start this weekend. Further, SHKP might launch Phase 2A at Novo Land in Tuen Mun as early as the end of this month and put the units at Cullinan Harbour in Kai Tak for sale by tender next month, speeding up the sale of new projects.

灣仔告士打道商廈林立，商業氣息濃，地段中可供拆售商廈，主要為富通大廈、筆克大廈、東亞銀行港灣中心、資本中心及祥豐中心等。而富通大廈位處地段正中心，鄰近港鐵會展站，交通便利。

富通大廈樓高32層，每層樓面約6,350平方呎，而大廈提供合共5部升降機，以一幢分層單位面積不足1萬呎樓面，升降機數目非常充足，可有效幫助疏通人流。

處告士打道正中心 成優勢

交通方面，告士打道頭段及尾段距離灣仔港鐵站頗遠，富通大廈最大優勢是位處告士打道正中心，由港鐵站出口步行至該廈僅需5分鐘，亦鄰近連接灣仔北天橋。隨着港鐵會展站正式開通，由會展站步行至該廈亦僅5分鐘左右，故坐擁兩站優勢。

另外，告士打道巴士站林立，亦鄰近紅隧入口，加上可步行至灣仔碼頭，往返九龍極為方便。

配套方面，駱克道、謝斐道餐廳眾多，有不同國家的菜式可供選擇，而灣仔北萬麗酒店、君悅酒店等，則可提供商務午餐。另外，物業單位實用率普遍逾8成，對用家來說甚佳。景觀方面，前方為稅務大樓，海景受遮擋，即使日後重建亦料受影響，而單位主要望向告士打道，仍甚開揚舒適。

租戶包括 證券行會計師樓

用戶方面，不少上市公司曾購入該廈及租用，如27樓為葉氏化工 （00408） ，另有尼日利亞領事館。至於其他租戶上，有證券行、會計師樓及財務公司等。

買賣方面，物業近年暫未錄得成交，對上一宗成交為2019年4月，為高層全層單位，建築面積約6,350平方呎，以逾1.58億元成交，呎價約2.5萬元。

Safe and secure expats are tempted to buy HK homes

Two in three expatriates living in Hong Kong are interested in investing in local property, and those with kids have a greater sense of security than their peers living in other major destinations, a survey shows.

The news comes as Hong Kong's property market continues to recover with private home prices up for a third month in March and developers rolling out new projects.

The HSBC (0005) survey covered more than 7,000 individuals in nine international destinations, including Australia, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United States.

It showed 81 percent of expatriates in Hong Kong plan to invest in the local market while 68 percent have shown interest in long-term investments such as property.

A majority of those traveling with children agreed they felt supported by the government (90 percent) and local community (81 percent) in the course of settling, one of the highest percentages among all nine surveyed markets, with the global average being at 75 percent.

Meanwhile, in the primary market, phase 1A of In One atop Ho Man Tin MTR station has been named In One Above and the first price list is set to be released this week, according to the developer Chinachem.

The project's smallest flat is a one-bed apartment with an area of 311 square feet.

Chinachem said three show flats will be opened for viewing shortly.

The price list, expected to be uploaded within a week, will be based on the same series of In One's phase 1B and 1C with adjustments made to the prices to take into account different views and seating directions.

The company anticipates that the first round of sales will begin as early as next week.

In new home sales, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said five special flats at phase 2A of University Hill in Pak Shek Kok were sold via tender yesterday, raking in over HK$46 million.

SHKP has released a second price list for University Hill phase 2B, featuring 115 units with discounted prices ranging between HK$13,155 and HK$19,117 per square foot.

The newly added flats include 13 studios, 9 one-bedroom, 90 two-bedroom and 3 three-bedroom units, in sizes of 218 to 546 sq ft.

In Hung Hom, Henderson Land Development's (0012) Baker Circle Euston is expected to be launched with 28 flats up for sale on Friday.

The sixth price list includes 28 flats, consisting of 13 studios, 9 one-bedroom units and 6 two-bedroom units, with saleable areas from 214 to 378 sq ft. The discounted prices for these units range from HK$20,048 to HK$24,092 per sq ft.

Seized US$892 million Hong Kong commercial property put on sale as tycoon Chen Hongtian fights to reclaim it

One HarbourGate East Tower in Hung Hom has been put on the market for tender sale by its receivers, according to a real estate firm

The announcement came after Chen Hongtian said on Friday he was in talks with lenders to retrieve a trio of assets including the property

Creditors have appointed agents to sell a HK$7 billion (US$892 million) Hong Kong commercial property that is among a trio of seized assets tycoon Chen Hongtian is fighting to regain control of.

One HarbourGate East Tower in Hung Hom has been put on the market for tender sale by its receivers, according to a statement released on Sunday by an international real estate firm, which said it has been appointed as the sole agent for the tender.

“I will ask lawyers to study it,” Chen, the chairman of Cheung Kei Group, told the Post on Sunday when he was shown the agency’s statement.

The statement came after Chen told the Post on Friday he was in discussions with lenders to retrieve three assets worth an estimated HK$10 billion (US$1.27 billion) after a “short-term liquidity issue” forced him to miss mortgage payments.

Chen said on Friday that he has plans to inject fresh funds to resolve the “mild default” issue related to three properties, including the One HarbourGate tower and a HK$2.1 billion house on The Peak.

One HarbourGate East Tower has about 279,000 sq ft of commercial space. Completed in 2016 by Wheelock Properties, it comprises an office tower and a two-storey retail space along the waterfront, with 155 car-parking spaces.

The market valuation was around HK$7 billion last year, the Savills statement said, citing the original owner’s provision. The tender will be floated globally and is expected to close on August 28, the statement added.

The One HarbourGate building, bought for HK$4.5 billion in 2016, was taken over by Christopher So Man-chun and Victor Jong Yat-kit of PwC Hong Kong on behalf of Hang Seng Bank.

The property serves as the headquarters of Sun Life Insurance, while the neighbouring West Tower houses the headquarters of China Life, an agent said.

The property has an occupancy rate of 84 per cent, the agent said.

The agecny declined to comment on Chen’s reaction to its statement. The Post has reached out to the receivers for comment.

Chen, whose Cheung Kei Group owns offices, hotels and finance firms, has had at least three of his assets seized by lenders in recent months.

The three properties – a 9,212 sq ft house at 15 Gough Hill Road on The Peak, a flat in Opus Hong Kong in eastern Mid-Levels and One HarbourGate East Tower – were mortgaged with banks for around HK$6 billion, but were valued at around HK$10 billion, according to Chen.

In March, the Gough Hill Road property was seized by receivers appointed by Bank of East Asia, which appointed Deloitte China partners Derek Lai Kar-yan and Ivan Chan Man-hoi as receivers and managers.

The previous month the Opus Hong Kong flat was seized by Bank of Communications, which had extended a mortgage in August 2019.

“Investors in general are still seeking bottom-fishing opportunities, with assets presented at discounts across different real estate sectors, and with some acquisitions being large-sized receivership deals,” another agent said.

“In recent months, the market has already witnessed some receivership deals, and some property owners are now more willing to sell noncore assets,” the agent said, adding that she expects more such large-scale transactions later this year.

Hung Shui Kiu to get 26,862 new homes

Hong Kong's government plans to build 26,862 new private and public housing homes at Hung Shui Kiu in Yuen Long - 5,210 more than the previous plan.

About 90 percent, or 24,267 units, are for public housing and are located in nine sites adjacent to the proposed Hung Shui Kiu MTR station on the Tuen Ma Line, according to the application received by the Town Planning Board.

The remaining 2,595 private units are included in the two sites at Ping Ha Road.

The proposed development will house an additional 7,130 people, said the government, as it suggested relaxing the plot ratio and building height restriction for the 11 sites. The maximum plot ratio is proposed to be increased to 6.5 and 6.8 for private and public housing sites respectively. The building height for four public sites and one private site may be increased to between 135 and 175 meters above the principle datum, or no more than 51 stories.

In the private market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said yesterday that phase 2B of University Hill in Pak Shek Kok will launch the first round of sales on Saturday, offering 183 flats, with the cheapest priced at HK$3.33 million after discounts.

Meanwhile, a home with two car parking spaces at Opus in Mid-Levels has been put up for tender for HK$680 million, according to the agency.

The luxury home on the fifth floor has an area of 5,154 square feet and includes five bedrooms, a study, living room, dining room and kitchen. Each of the 12 Opus homes occupies an entire floor.

The property is extremely rare as no units at Opus have been put up for sale since its launch on the market, an agent said.

The tender closes on August 8 with the property sold on an "as is" basis with non-vacant possession.

Creditors put tycoon Chen Hongtian’s US$86 million Frank Gehry-designed Hong Kong flat up for sale

The HK$680 million (US$86.72 million) flat in Opus Hong Kong has been put up for sale by tender by the receivers, according to a property agency

Fifth-floor unit ‘easily one of the most precious residential properties in Asia’, an agent says

Creditors continued selling tycoon Chen Hongtian’s assets in Hong Kong on Tuesday.

A HK$680 million (US$86.72 million) flat he owned in Opus Hong Kong in eastern Mid-Levels has been put up for sale by tender by the receivers, according to a statement by an agent, which said it had been appointed the sole agent for the deal.

Chen and his wife, Chen Yao Li Ni, bought the fifth-floor flat on 53 Stubbs Road for HK$387 million in September 2015, according to official records. In February, the flat was seized by Bank of Communi­cations, which extended a mortgage in August 2019. The bank has appointed Deloitte China partners Derek Lai Kar-yan and Ivan Chan Man-hoi as the receivers.

The flat’s current market valuation stands at HK$680 million, the agency told the Post.

“Its value is extraordinary, making it easily one of the most precious residential properties in Asia,” the agent said with regard to Opus Hong Kong.

Chen, whose Cheung Kei Group owns offices, hotels and finance firms, has had at least three assets seized by lenders in Hong Kong. The three properties – a 9,212 sq ft house at 15 Gough Hill Road on The Peak, the Opus Hong Kong flat and One HarbourGate East Tower – were mortgaged with banks for about HK$6 billion, but are valued at about HK$10 billion, according to Chen.

Chen told the Post in 2016 that the Opus Hong Kong flat was “too tiny” and that was why he bought the Gough Hill Road property.

Tuesday’s developments come a day after One HarbourGate East Tower in Hung Hom was also put up for sale through a tender by receivers. “I will ask lawyers to study it,” Chen told the Post when shown a statement about the tower on Sunday.

The open tender for the Opus Hong Kong flat, which comes with two parking spaces, is to be closed at noon on August 8 tentatively and will see the property sold on an “as is” basis in its current condition with non-vacant possession, which means it may not be empty.

Developed by Swire Properties on a site long possessed by the company as a home for its executives, Opus Hong Kong is the fruit of a collaboration with Frank Gehry – it is his first and only residential project in Asia.

The 5,154 sq ft flat comprises five bedrooms, of which four are ensuites, a study, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen. It has an open-plan design and a ceiling height of more than four metres, and is the only unit on the entire floor, the statement said.

The building twists to give each of its 12 flats a unique floor plan, and is only a nine minutes’ drive away from the business district and SoHo in Central.

南豐：今年甲廈供應多 料全年租金持平

今年市場上多幢甲廈推出，而南豐旗下啟德地標項目 AIRSIDE 寫字樓近期入伙，已租出約3成樓面，即約40萬平方呎，呎租高見49元。

集團指今年甲廈新供應多，競爭激烈，而通關後租務活動加快，料全年租金持平。

南豐料年底前 出租率達5成

南豐啟德 AIRSIDE 寫字樓部分近期入伙，項目為47層高的綜合大樓，提供32層甲級寫字樓，以及多層商場，總樓面面積達190萬平方呎，寫字樓佔120萬平方呎。

寫字樓方面，南豐集團香港地產處執行董事許謙讓表示，暫時約三分一樓面租出，除了法國賽博集團及柯尼卡美能達商業系統外，最大為日資銀行租用約9.6萬平方呎樓面。據悉，該租客為三菱東京UFJ銀行，原租用中環友邦金融中心。

租客涉環球企業 日資銀行

許謙讓透露，集團將保留 AIRSIDE 約兩層樓面自用，作為集團新總部。南豐目前總部位於上環南豐大廈，涉及6層樓面，據悉將保留兩層作會客等用途，騰出近4萬平方呎樓面，日後重新招租。

項目獲三大環球企業及自用樓面，出租面積佔約40萬平方呎。租金方面，他指目前平均呎租為35至49元，相對九龍東甲級商廈租金高出近1倍。他解釋，由於項目個別樓層達5萬平方呎，同區非常罕有，適合企業搬遷整合業務，加上物業質素高，故獲企業支持。他指現時項目仍獲金融、保險等行業洽租，亦有中資企業洽淡，預計項目年底前，出租率可達一半。

翻查資料，南豐早於兩年前為項目招租，惟受疫情衝擊，租務活動進度一般。許謙讓指，疫情對租務最大影響，為外地公司高層，因當時本港隔離措施嚴格而未能來港考察，通關後睇樓活動明顯加快，故相信租務將會增加。對於整體後市，目前甲廈空置率仍偏高，他坦言要消化樓面需要一段時間，並指今年甲廈供應多，競爭無疑較大，而現時整體氣氛向好，預計今年甲廈租金持平。

今年為甲廈高峰期，有外資代理行代理指出，1至3月份甲廈錄得13.5萬平方呎正吸納量，惟4月份再次轉負數，涉及負22萬平方呎，故暫時今年甲廈吸納量仍屬負數。

該代理分析，市場上甲廈新項目，不論預租及已入伙，整體出租率多徘徊3成左右。後市上，該代理指整體甲廈需求仍然偏弱，而通關後租務洽談增，料第三季落實成交增加。代理認為目前供應壓力仍然大，加上本身空置率達15.1%，料今年甲廈租金僅持平，或跌幅5%之內。

甲廈吸跨企進駐 ESG元素不可缺

近兩年大批甲廈新供應出現，業主各出奇謀吸客，而ESG (Environmental, social, and governance) 元素成為物業不可缺少因素，要配備齊全才可吸引跨國企業進駐。

AIRSIDE 多環保設施 保競爭力

甲廈整體空置率偏高，市場有逾千萬平方呎空置樓面待租。據一間外資代理行數字顯示，2022及2023年，分別有321萬及226萬平方呎樓面供應，為甲廈高峰期。

現存空置樓面已經頗多，加上大批新落成大廈，消化需時。以今年為例，中環、港島東、黃竹坑及啟德等商業區，均有全新項目落成，同時間甲廈需求尚未復甦，故業主要出招吸客，競爭頗大。

近年ESG興起，企業講求環保、可持續發展等。據業界人士指出，當企業選擇辦公室時，ESG成為必須考慮元素，大廈要有一定條件，跨國企業總公司才會批准租務，而租金並非唯一考慮因素。

以近期落成啟德 AIRSIDE 為例，物業獲多項綠色建築證書，並提供環保設施，如全球首個智能廢物分類管理系統等，大廈亦設農莊等，相關元素可令物業保持一定競爭力。

除了ESG元素外，新大廈設備較舊式商廈齊全，科技上較先進，而因應市況，業主亦不會叫價太進取，故可以較低租金，租用有最新設備的商廈，成為企業提升辦公室級數的良好機會，因此新商廈整體優勢較高。

HK luxury home market dips amid global slump

Hong Kong luxury property prices dropped 1.3 percent in the first quarter from a year ago, as the global market recorded its first price contraction since the 2008 financial crisis, a report from a property consultancy showed.

Despite the decline, the SAR's ranking by annual percentage point changes rose from 37 in the fourth quarter last year to 34 in the past quarter, according to the Prime Global Cities Index report that tracks movement of prime residential prices across 46 cities worldwide.

Luxury home prices in the financial hub remained unchanged in the January-March period from the previous three months.

Annual prices slid in 16 of the 46 markets tracked. While two-thirds of markets are still seeing positive growth, the large size of price declines in the weakest markets has pulled the overall index down by 0.4 percent as interest rates jumped.

At the top of the first-quarter ranking was Dubai's 44 percent annual growth, with second place Miami the only other city to reach double-digit growth at 11 percent. Singapore was in the fifth spot with a 5.5 percent rise.

The report came as Hong Kong's overall stamp duty revenues from property purchases dipped by 4.6 percent to HK$764 million in April from the previous month, with the number of transactions tumbling 25.5 percent to 280.

Among them, revenue from special stamp duty more than halved month-on-month to HK$495 million, data from the Inland Revenue Department revealed.

Meanwhile, all the Hong Kong interbank offered rates rose yesterday along with the local currency. The mortgage-linked one-month Hibor grew by nearly 40 basis points 4.16 percent, the highest since early January. The overnight rate even rallied by 92 basis points to 4.44 percent.

In the commercial market, Nan Fung Group said it has pre-leased about a third of the office space at AIRSIDE, a mixed-use commercial building in Kai Tak that will soft open in the third quarter. The average rent of the office area ranges from HK$35 to HK$49 per square foot, compared to around HK$25 in other Grade A commercial buildings in Kowloon East, the developer said.

太古地產 (01972) 近年密密循併購方式增加港島舊區的重建地盤，當中不乏貴重的工廈重建項目。該集團2018年申請強拍的鰂魚涌華廈工業大廈，經過約5年時間，終獲土地審裁處批出強制售賣令，底價更達51.25億元，成為獲批准強拍的個案中底價最貴的一個項目。

太古地產申請至今耗時5年

最新獲批強拍的華廈工業大廈位於鰂魚涌船塢里8號，在船塢里和英皇道都設有出入口，距離港鐵太古站的步程不費5分鐘，鄰近區內大型屋苑太古城和康怡花園等，現址是一幢20層高的工業樓宇，1972年落成，樓齡約51年。

太古地產於2018年向土地審裁處申請強拍該工廈，當時透過7家公司聯合提出申請，持有的業權共約81.6%。該集團及後成功購入個別單位，至今仍有2個地廠單位及約7個樓上的工廈單位，未能成功購入。

根據判案書，太古地產自2018年初至去年5月，先後4次向受影響的小業主提出收購建議，土地審裁處認為，該集團已經透過合理步驟，嘗試收購小業主手中的單位，審裁處亦信服該廈因應樓齡和維修狀況，具重建的理據，故批准該廈作強拍。

資料顯示，華廈工業大廈佔地約2.71萬方呎，測量師估計，單以該廈重建，具潛力發展成一幢28層 (另設地庫停車場) 的甲級寫字樓，總樓面面積約40.63萬方呎。

計劃與仁孚工廈合併發展

不過，太古地產一直計劃把華廈工業大廈，連同該集團已統一業權的毗鄰仁孚工業大廈一起重建。太古地產發言人周五 (5日) 接受本報查詢時亦指出，歡迎土地審裁處就華廈工業大廈頒下強制售賣令，重申若該集團統一華廈工業大廈的所有業權，計劃把該廈與仁孚工業大廈一併發展，總樓面面積約77.9萬方呎，作為寫字樓及其他商業用途。

是次華廈工業大廈項目的底價51.25億元，創下歷來土地審裁處批准強拍項目的底價新高。對上高位正是由仁孚工業大廈所保持。

中港全面通關後，內地資金持續流入本地豪宅市場，有大業主趁勢放售超豪宅。市場消息指，「大劉」劉鑾雄兒子劉鳴煒，正低調放售山頂白加道兩幢超豪宅，意向售價逾9.6億元，呎價逾13萬元。

白加道31號獨立屋 呎價逾13萬

市場消息透露，華置 (00127) 主席劉鳴煒或相關人士，正透過中原地產放售山頂白加道31號A號及D號屋。其中，A號屋 (董事屋) 實用面積3,845平方呎，屬於5房間隔，連約4,000平方呎私家花園及1,100平方呎天台，並設有私家泳池及特大車庫，意向售價5.383億元，呎價約14萬元。

單位將連租約出售，買家可透過公司轉讓模式交易。而白加道31號D號屋，實用面積3,319平方呎，意向售價4.315億元，呎價約13萬元。資料顯示，白加道31號早年由華置發展，共有4幢洋房，A、C、D屋早年曾沽出，大劉劉鑾雄於2015年以4.2億元回購，至2016年轉至劉鳴煒名下。

區內代理透露，白加道屬於霧線以下物業，可望維多利亞港景色，屬於極罕有放盤的超豪宅，上述叫價頗貼近市價，相信可吸引富豪洽購。

油塘工廈每呎1.25萬創新高 宏安高市價1倍拔釘統一全幢業權

近年取態積極的宏安地產，繼不久前收購鰂魚涌住宅地皮，最近就收購中的油塘一幢工廈高價拔釘，以高市價1倍、每呎1.25萬購入最後一伙，成功統一該廈業權，宏安發言人表示，將引入投資者重建該項目。

有代理行表示，市場剛錄一宗工廈成交，油塘四山街18至20號油塘工業大廈4座中層地下N單位，面積約2118方呎，成交價約2650萬元，平均呎價約12512元，買家為宏安地產或有關人士，購入此單位後，正式統一該廈業權，宏安過去2至3年間不斷收購該廈，累計收購價約8.2億。

最後一伙作價2650萬

該代理續說，該單位並非地廠，而是高地廠一層 (Middle ground floor)，屬於低層單位，「收購價非常高」。根據市場記錄，該廈於過去一年多，成交呎價由2700元至8700元不等，惟集中呎價5000多至6000元成交，以此計算，最新收購呎價高市價約1倍。

宏安發言人接受本報查詢，表示該廈已統一業權，項目將會引入投資者共同發展。

該項目地盤面積約41800方呎，地積比率約6倍，項目鄰近如曦臺、Peninsula East、Ocean One等，其中，曦臺同樣為宏安地產發展項目，預計區內將由工業區轉型為住宅、工商業發展的綜合發展區。物業位處臨海地段，日後大部分單位可享海景，沿鯉魚門道有多條巴士及小巴綫路，交通位置不錯。

宏安：將為項目引入投資者

宏安早前亦向投資者「越南朱」朱立基，購入鰂魚涌芬尼街3至9號住宅地盤，作價4.3億，地盤面積約4200方呎，地積比率10倍，可建樓面約4.2萬方呎，每呎樓面地價約1萬餘元。

該物業毗鄰鰂魚涌站B出口，交通便利，市場人士預料，該項目將發展上車盤。

宏安以高市價約1倍購入油塘工業大廈單位，統一全幢業權，並將引入投資者共同發展。

New Ho Man Tin flats 'conservatively priced'

The first price list for flats at In One Above in Ho Man Tin has been released, featuring 90 flats with the cheapest costing a shade under HK$8 million.

Market watchers say the flats have been conservative priced, considering Hong Kong Interbank offered rates are flirting with 15-year highs.

Developed by Chinachem and MTR Corporation (0066), In One Above forms phase 1A of the In One project being built atop Ho Man Tin MTR station, and offers 447 flats in total, following the launch of phases 1B and 1C.

The 90 flats cost between HK$7.99 million and HK$29.19 million after discounts, and comprise 23 one-bedroom, 49 two-bedroom and 18 three-bed flats with areas ranging from 364 to 960 square feet.

The average price per sq ft amounts to HK$26,718 after discounts, but it is 7.6 percent higher than the HK$24,838 per sq ft for phase 1B and 2.9 percent higher than the HK$25,953 per sq ft in Phase 1C.

After discounts, all 23 one-bedroom units cost less than HK$10 million with the cheapest at HK$7.99 million or HK$21,948 per sq ft.

The cheapest two-bedroom is HK$10.67 million or HK$22,731 per sq ft, and the cheapest three-bedroom is HK$23.93 million or HK$25,004 per sq ft.

An property agency said the pricing for In One Above is conservative, considering that the previous two phases sold like hot cakes.

And another property agency believes the developer aims to sell these 90 flats as soon as possible with the attractive prices.

The launch came as the overnight Hibor surged to 4.81 percent yesterday, the highest since 2007, and the mortgage-related one-month maturity advanced for a 16th consecutive day to 4.53 percent yesterday, indicating the tightening liquidity amid dollar defense in the city.

Chinachem will open show flats for viewing and start to receive cheques this Saturday. The first round of sales will start next week at the earliest.

The developer said it would not put all the flats at In One Above into price lists and could sell some three-bedroom flats by tender during the first round of sales.

Phases 1B and 1C have sold 347 out of 397 flats for more than HK$5.9 billion since March, and the entire In One project will provide 844 flats in total.

Elsewhere in Pak Shek Kok, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said University Hill's phase 2B has received more than 7,700 cheques for the 160 units in the price lists, making the batch 47 times oversubscribed.

有代理行發表商廈市場報告指，4月份分散業權甲廈售價及租金均錄升幅，兩者分別按月升3.2%及0.3%。

港島區高價買賣帶動

截至今年4月底，受數宗高價成交帶動，甲廈售價今年以來累升6.6%。

該行代理表示，上月商廈大額成交暢旺，最矚目集中港島區，包括一家國企以2.55億購買灣仔會展廣場辦公大樓一個逾8000方呎的中層單位，呎價約31075元，金鐘東昌大廈低層單位以1.68億成交，呎價近2萬。

租務方面，市場消息指字節跳動將進駐中環國際金融中心一期約2萬方呎單位，料呎租約120元。該辦公室原由瑞士寶盛租用，反映外資企業縮減規模及遷離核心商業區，國內機構鍾情中環，並擴大香港市場趨勢。

整體甲廈空置率10.3%

該報告指出，上月全港整體甲廈空置率為10.3%，較上月回落0.1個百分點，中區、灣仔及銅鑼灣、尖沙嘴的空置率分別為8.8%、7.4%及8.1%。雖然復常後的商廈空置率仍高企，但部分區域吸納情況稍有好轉，上環、尖沙嘴、觀塘的空置率略為改善，其中上環跌0.5個百分點。

雖然未來面臨環球經濟增長放緩及出口受壓的挑戰，但根據政府最近公布的本地經濟數據，今年首季實質本地生產總值按年增長2.7%，更終止連續四個季度的跌勢。

上月錄377宗鋪位租賃 代理行：按月減約30%

根據一間本地代理行資料，4月份共錄約377宗鋪位租賃，對比3月份減少約30%，按年同期對比則見相若。該行分析，4月份有清明及復活節假期，租務交投略微轉淡。

該行代理表示，4月份商鋪租賃總金額約4566.54萬，金額按月減少約31%，對比2022年同期量穩價升，租賃回落相信月內遇上長假期，商戶集中迎接消費力，租鋪計畫暫緩，但對比去年同期而言，整體租金水平回升，金額升約23%，成交宗數按年相若，月內錄矚目租務，尖沙嘴星光行地下1及2號鋪，以每月約100萬租予名牌手袋店；旺角花園街71至73號地下A至C號鋪，由體育用品店以每月約78萬承租。

金額4566萬按月減31%

該代理續稱，4月份五大核心區商鋪空置率窄幅上漲，表現較佳只有銅鑼灣，空置率維持6.34%，與上月相若，但對比去年同期多出0.94個百分點。中環最新空置率13.21%，灣仔約13.06%，兩區按月分別升0.10及0.03個百分點，尖沙嘴約11.53%，按月多出0.06個百分點；旺角約9.12%，按月微升0.02個百分點。

星光行鋪月租100萬矚目

代理分析，市場氣氛比去年大幅改善，今年2月份全面通關後，旅客人次飆升，根據旅發局資料，2月份約146萬人，3月激增至約245萬人次，增幅達約67%，預測下半年價量齊升。

Shop deals dive 31pc as core vacancy rates rise

Commercial and residential property sales languished in Hong Kong as the vacancy rate in four core shopping areas increased and weekend sales of second-hand homes remained lackluster.

The number of shop sales in April dipped 31.2 percent monthly to 377 while the total value of deals fell 31.9 percent to HK$45.67 million, a property agency said.

At the same time, the vacancy rate in the four core areas shot up last month compared to March.

Central reported the highest vacancy rate of 13.21 percent last month, up by 0.1 percentage points monthly. The proportion of empty shops in Tsim Sha Tsui rose 0.06 percentage points to 11.53 percent, and that in Wan Chai grew 0.03 percentage points to 13.06 percent. Mong Kok recorded a 0.02 percentage point climb to 9.12 percent in April.

Causeway Bay was an exception, with the vacancy rate staying flat at 6.34 percent, but the reading was 0.94 percentage points higher than the same month last year.

The agency said shop transactions fell because the merchants were focused on the long Easter break and had put their buying plans on hold.

Despite the fall in the number of transactions and higher vacancy rates, the agency said market sentiment has greatly improved compared with last year and it expects shop deals will rebound in the second half.

Meanwhile, in the residential secondary market, only six transactions were recorded at 10 major housing estates over the weekend, data from the agency showed.

Though up twofold over the previous week, the number remained in single digits and six of the estates reported no deals.

The lackluster sales could partly be due to inclement weather, which prevented people from viewing homes, as well as price increases by some owners, an agent said.

Moreover, developers are racing to attract homebuyers with market-level prices, squeezing the secondary market, the agent added.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016), for example, released the third price list of University Hill phase 2B in Pak Shek Kok to offer 206 units, with the cheapest flat priced at HK$3.28 million after discounts.

This came after it sold out 160 flats on previous price lists on the first day of sales last Saturday.

The 206 flats range from 218 to 729 square feet and cost between HK$3.28 million and HK$14.09 million after discounts.

SHKP expects to kick off the second round of sales on Wednesday to offer 185 units on price lists and 20 by tender.

Hong Kong’s luxury home renters should prepare to pay more in the second half amid rising demand

Market observers expect high-end rents in the city to rise up to 6 per cent in the second half amid rising demand

The rental index for homes over 1,077 sq ft rose 2.7 per cent from January to March, according to the Rating and Valuation Department

Hong Kong’s luxury home rents have turned a corner and are set to rise up to 6 per cent in the second half as expatriates return, market observers said.

The government’s Top Talent Pass Scheme and the gradual return of expatriates, who had temporarily relocated to other cities including Singapore amid the Covid-19 pandemic, will support the high-end rental market, they said.

“The demand is quite high for big-ticket leasing,” an agent said, who expects luxury property rents on The Peak, Hong Kong’s most exclusive address, and the Southern district, to rise 3 to 5 per cent this year.

This is borne out by the strengthening rental index for big homes – over 1,077 sq ft (100 square metres) – which has risen 2.7 per cent from January to March, the highest level since July 2022, according to data from the Rating and Valuation Department.

The Top Talent Pass Scheme announced by Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu in October to attract professionals and top graduates to the city has had the desired effect. As of mid-April, more than 60,000 applications had been received, with over 50 per cent of them being approved, Financial Secretary Paul Chan said on May 9. Among the successful applicants, a few hundred earned more than HK$10 million (US$1.27 million) a year.

Rents for houses on The Peak and in the Southern district will rise 3 to 6 per cent in the second half amid frequent leasing and limited supply, another agent said.

Another agent also said that leasing activity was brisk for flats and town houses on The Peak and Mid-Levels, with monthly rents ranging from HK$80,000 to HK$120,000.

“With strong leasing demand and momentum mainly driven by the relocation of mainlanders and foreigners in recent months, landlords are less flexible in negotiations,” the agent added.

Leasing activity for high-end property in the most desired areas of Hong Kong Island is on the rise. Transactions on The Peak and in the Southern district rose 8.1 per cent year on year to 120 in the first quarter, according to a property agency. Among them was a 5,032 sq ft house at 11 Plantation Road, which was rented out at HK$580,000 per month in January, according to another property agency.

New leases for upmarket homes on The Peak and in the Southern district rose to a six-month high of 47 in April, according to data from a property agency, which expects the numbers to rise further.

“We certainly expect rents to rise, and already across our portfolio rental growth since the reopening has been more than 10 per cent,” said Sachin Doshi, the founder and group CEO of Weave Living, which owns and operates rental accommodation units in Hong Kong and across the Asia-Pacific.

“Also on a relative basis, for many expat professionals who temporarily relocated overseas to places like Singapore, Hong Kong rents and cost of living are looking attractive again and we are seeing a reverse migration of this expat talent pool back to Hong Kong in a big way,” said Doshi.

Sai Ying Pun, Kennedy Town, Sheung Wan and Mid-Levels on Hong Kong Island were popular leasing areas, while Kowloon West and Tai Kok Tsui were preferred by expats and renters from the mainland.

“Recovery in leasing demand has been extremely rapid in Hong Kong after the Covid-19 restrictions were fully lifted, with a 50 to 60 per cent increase in inquiries over the second half of 2022,” said Doshi. “We see this demand continuing to accelerate as we go into the peak leasing period over the summer as the Top Talent Pass Scheme attracts more high-earning global talent.”

Not all market observers share the same enthusiasm, pointing to economic headwinds and a net loss of high-flying expats.

High-end rents will decline as demand is weak, an agent said, adding that the ultra-luxury segment may fare better because of limited supply.

“Expats have [seen] their housing budgets cut, some by up to 50 per cent,” the agent said. “Tenants from the mainland are just trickling, not in [hordes] as people had hoped for.”

The agent added that most businesses expect a full economic recovery in Hong Kong to be slow and gradual because of external factors such as high inflation, interest rates, the possibility of a recession in the US and slower-than-anticipated recovery in China.

Hong Kong’s government, however, has forecast growth of 3.5 to 5.5 per cent this year after the gross domestic product contracted by 3.5 per cent last year.

The agent expects a 10 to 15 per cent drop in high-end rents, saying that he has observed that it was already down 15 per cent compared with a year ago.

Meanwhile, luxury rents in Singapore will rise 3 per cent in the first half from the fourth quarter, before flattening or softening by 1 per cent in the second half, another agent said.

“Landlords in the luxury segment are now more realistic in their rental expectations,” the agent said, adding that transactions in the high end segment had fallen this month and in April.

呎租約120元 通關後中資機構租賃增

中環全新甲廈受商戶歡迎，通關後中資亦加快租務。中環長江集團中心二期預計今年落成，物業錄首宗租務，據悉中資能源公司，租用約8,500平方呎樓面，屬同區搬遷作擴充及升級，呎租料約120元。

有外資代理行表示，促成一內地企業落戶長江集團中心二期，成為項目推出預租以來首宗租賃成交。涉及物業為高層半層，該行代理表示，租戶新空間比其現有寫字樓面積大一倍，更屬坐擁維港海景的高層單位。

市場人士指，成交呎租約120元，是次涉及租戶為內地聯合能源集團，主要業務為上游石油天然氣勘探開發及生產運營等。該集團目前租同金鐘太古廣場二座單位，呎租料約100餘元，如今搬遷既有擴充，亦可升級至中環全新超甲廈。

長江集團中心二期料今年落成

長實 (01113) 旗下和記大廈重建項目，長江集團中心二期料今年落成。項目樓高41層，總建築面積達55萬平方呎，標準辦公室樓層建築面積約17,300平方呎。據悉，樓層採用方正及無中柱式設計，並採取雙電梯大堂設計，項目分為東、西兩座，並提供185個車位。早前因受疫情封關影響，甲廈租務活動淡靜，直至近月通關，租務查詢稍加快。

通關後中資機構租務個案有所上升，如中環國際金融中心一期錄得租務成交，涉中層單位，面積約1.5萬平方呎，以每呎約120元租出，屬市價水平。據了解，新租客為中資科技公司字節跳動，原租用港島區較細辦公室，是次租國際金融中心一期單位，既可整合業務及擴充，又可升級至超甲廈。另外，中環友邦金融中心 (AIA Centra) 全層，面積約1.2萬平方呎，以每呎約100元租出，新租客為國企中石油。

除長江集團中心二期外，過去較罕有新供應的中環，今年亦有另一幢全新項目，恒地 (00012) 旗下 The Henderson 料年內落成，早前錄得第3宗預租個案，涉及兩層中層樓面，每層面積約1.4萬平方呎，合共約2.8萬平方呎，成交呎租料逾130元，新租客為加拿大退休金計劃投資局 (CPPIB)。

核心區新租務方面，消息指，金鐘遠東金融中心高層02B室，面積約2,900平方呎，成交呎租約45元。

啟德地標 AIRSIDE 處商住區享大樓面

啟德新甲廈 AIRSIDE 為區內地標項目，而樓面大加上地區前景理想，料項目租務將加快。

南豐旗下啟德地標項目 AIRSIDE 寫字樓近期入伙，項目位處區內核心商業及住宅地段，至於商業項目方面，則有稅務中心等，而附近亦是住宅群。

交通方面，現由港鐵啟德站出口步行至該廈，需時約5分鐘，而日後將有出口，連接大廈地庫樓層，屆時更為方便。值得一提，近年沙中綫及東鐵綫過海段相繼通車，來往啟德及港九各區均甚快，有利商戶遷入。另外，大廈附近亦有巴士站，方便前往各區。

而配套方面，目前啟德商業配套未算多，暫時上班人士可前往附近商店及餐廳，或從天橋前往Mikiki商場。AIRSIDE 的商場部分佔地70萬平方呎，將提供餐廳、零售等，預租率理想，屆時上班人士用膳選擇甚多。

AIRSIDE 寫字樓部分近期入伙，項目為47層高的綜合大樓，提供32層甲級寫字樓，以及多層商場，總樓面面積達190萬平方呎，寫字樓佔120萬平方呎。

寫字樓方面，由9至47樓，分為3個升降機段，有效疏導人流。地下大堂設計舒適，並有藝術感。

合大型企業進駐 整合業務

該廈一大特色，是大廈提供大樓面，由3.2萬至5.3萬平方呎，非常適合大型企業把業務整合在一層。景觀上，大廈高層樓面，一面望向獅子山及東九龍，另一面望向全維港海景，極為開揚。

另物業中低層設有戶外花園，並有農莊等，具備綠色元素。此外，物業獲多項綠色建築證書，並提供環保設施，如全球首個智能廢物分類管理系統等。

南豐2017年以逾246億元擊敗11間中港財團奪啟德商業地，膺全港最貴商地，樓面呎價12,863元，其後進行發展，整個項目總投資額高達320億元。

全層達5萬呎 項目逾3成租出

啟德 AIRSIDE 具吸引力，據了解目前項目寫字樓出租率逾3成。

南豐集團香港地產處執行董事許謙讓表示，暫時約三分一樓面租出，除了法國賽博集團及柯尼卡美能達商業系統外，最大為日資銀行租用約9.6萬平方呎樓面。據悉，該租客為三菱東京UFJ銀行，原租用中環友邦金融中心。

平均呎租35至49元

許謙讓透露，集團將保留 AIRSIDE 約兩層樓面自用，作為集團新總部。南豐目前總部位於上環南豐大廈，涉及6層樓面，據悉將保留兩層作會客等用途，騰出近4萬平方呎樓面，日後重新招租。

項目獲3大環球企業作自用樓面，出租面積佔約40萬平方呎。租金方面，目前平均呎租為35至49元，相對九龍東甲級商廈租金高出近1倍。發展商稱，由於項目個別樓層達5萬平方呎，同區非常罕有，適合企業搬遷整合業務，加上物業質素高，故獲企業支持。他並指現時項目仍獲金融、保險等行業洽租，亦有中資企業洽淡，預計項目年底前，出租率可達一半。

銅鑼灣西環物業放售 意向價合共2.4億

港島區物業向來受捧，有老牌業主連約放售銅鑼灣地鋪及西環全幢舊樓，以現狀及連約推出，意向價1.5億及9000萬，合共2.4億。

有外資代理行代理表示，銅鑼灣禮頓道13至19號怡興大廈地下C及D鋪，總建築面積約3275方呎，實用面積約2530方呎，物業意向價1.5億，現時由2家餐廳承租，物業對正紀利華木球會，附近商廈、酒店及住宅屋苑林立，既是商業區，亦是高尚住宅區，前景看高一綫。

禮頓道地鋪意向1.5億

該代理又說，該相連鋪位毗鄰利舞臺廣場及時代廣場，2021年，希慎興業夥拍華懋投得區內「商業地」，將落成百萬呎大型商業項目，為區內帶來更多消費動力。

西環德輔道西114號現時為一幢7層高物業，位處大單邊，地盤面積約574方呎，總樓面約3613方呎，意向價9000萬，步行至港鐵西營盤站需時僅1分鐘，物業可以公司股權轉讓出售，物業坐落「海味街」，並坐擁單邊，極具併購價值。

西環全幢叫價9000萬

市場人士表示，上述2項物業由低調的老牌家族持有，其中，禮頓道地鋪於2017年11月以1.3億購入，西環物業亦於同年以8000萬承接。

Checks flow in for Ho Man Tin flats

Chinachem says In One Above, over the Ho Man Tin MTR Station, received about 1,000 checks in two days for the 90 flats on the first price list, making them 10 times oversubscribed.

The developer has recorded 8,000 visitors for the project and plans to release at least 45 apartments for sale on the market as early as today.

About 50 customer groups have shown interest in the south-facing three-bedroom units, which will be sold by tender. The sale is expected to begin within a week, and the sales brochure is due to be uploaded in the next couple of days.

Meanwhile, The Knightsbridge, a joint development project in Kai Tak by six developers, sold two top-floor apartments for a total of HK$157.85 million through a tender yesterday, with one of the transactions setting a new price record for the project.

A four-bedroom flat on the 31st floor of Tower 8 featuring 1,890 sq ft of living space and a 405-sq-ft platform sold for HK$103.95 million or HK$55,000 a square foot, setting a record for the project.

Another unit on the 27th floor of Tower 5 with an area of 1,382 sq ft and four bedrooms sold for HK$53.9 million or HK$39,001 per sq ft. The project has reportedly sold 13 flats so far, cashing in more than HK$610 million.

The increase in home prices is expected to lose momentum in the second quarter due to interest rate increases after prices had risen for three consecutive months, a property agency said.

The residential property transactions in April fell by about 31.5 percent month-on-month, due to the global banking turmoil that led to financial and banking uncertainty, affecting investment sentiment.

Homes priced between HK$4 million and HK$10 million accounted for more than 60 percent of the total transaction volume, which saw the biggest drop, down about 40.5 percent month-on-month.

Meanwhile, the Lands Department recently announced that a HK$41.3 million premium was paid for the No 15 Chi Fuk Circuit residential project in Fan Ling. The site covers an area of about 13,158 sq ft and can be redeveloped with a maximum plot ratio of 1.5, allowing for a total gross floor area of 19,737 sq ft. The premium per sq ft for the site is about HK$2,090.

有代理表示，上環干諾道中168至200號信德中心西座3101至05室放售，建築面積約9188方呎，意向價約2億5726萬，每呎約2.8萬；另外01室及02至05室亦放租，意向租金約34.9萬，01室建築面積約2555方呎，02至05室建築面積約6633方呎，每呎約38元。

每呎約38元放租

該代理表示，01室單位附設金融資產公司裝修，02至05室為豪華寫字樓裝修，外望海景，外加寬闊氣派大門，正對電梯大堂，大廈供應中央冷氣，附設16部載客電梯及1部消防升降梯，並擁有車場及直升機場。

信德中心西座為甲厦，是區內地標性建築之一，大廈毗鄰港澳碼頭、連接港鐵上環站及巴士總站，且有行人天橋連接國際金融中心、四季酒店及恒生銀行等。

上環德輔道中地鋪1.8億易手 由6家找換店承租回報逾3厘

兩地全面通關後，找換店鋪位出現大手交易，上環德輔道中多個找換店鋪位，以接近1.8億易手，新買家料回報逾3厘；原業主於2017年購入物業，仍有輕微盈利，物業升值近13%。

上環德輔道中287至291號長達大廈地下A2至A7號鋪，建築面積約2000方呎，以1.7988億易手，平均呎價8.99萬。

7年升值13%

現址有6家找換店，A2、A3及A4成交價均為2200萬，A5、A6和A7地鋪分別為2800萬、4000萬及4588萬，合共涉資1.7988萬。

平均呎價8.99萬

原業主於2017年4月以1.87億買入上址，連同A1鋪於2020年以3128萬沽售，合共套現 2.1116億，帳面獲利2416萬，物業升值12.9%。

盛滙商舖基金創辦人李根興表示，上址門闊約40呎，深約36呎，復常後，他見該地段找換店生意「翻生」，門外聚集光顧的人群。

他預期，今年核心區鋪租料升20%至30%，不過，近期買賣淡靜，全因息口高企，於短短一年間，由接近「零」變成5厘，投資商鋪多數借HIBOR，成本高達6厘，回報追不上，令買賣淡靜，不過，只要有減息迹象，鋪價定爆升。

鋪位買賣於2012至2014年最暢旺，造價亦達致高峰，上述鋪主於2017年購入鋪位，至今經歷3年疫市，沽貨仍然獲利。若然該年度摸頂購入寫字樓，至今未必有盈利。

近期凱施餅店銀主物業受市場追捧，繼荃灣眾安街1號及5號全幢物業沽出，最新為眾安街3號全幢，亦以3880萬易手，該項目地鋪及1樓各約900方呎，現時由髮型屋以每月14萬承租，新買家料回報4.3厘。眾安街1號及5號近期相繼易手，作價分別為3880萬及3680萬。

荃灣海濱廣場全幢放售 鄧成波家族索價12億

由鄧成波家族持有的荃灣海濱廣場全幢放售，意向價12億，該家族在2015年以約8.2億收購，曾計畫翻新為國際學校或醫療中心，該項目亦適宜作藝術品交易展覽館、主題商場及訓練場地。

有外資代理行代理表示，海濱廣場位於怡樂街1至9號及2至12號，怡康街1至7號及2至12號，總面積約24萬方呎，共設171個車位，意向價約12億，扣減車位價值約2億，商場呎價僅約4166元，項目截標日期6月19日。

平均呎價4166元

該代理表示，該商場於1990年落成，近年荃灣新盤數量增多，人口上升帶動消費需求，荃灣海濱沿海住宅數目逾1.3萬伙，對商鋪及主題商場有需求，該物業樓底特高，空間寬敞柱少，極具改造潛力，由項目前往港鐵荃灣西站，步程約7分鐘。

可打造藝術館主題商場

該代理續說，近年香港藉藝術品、資金和人才自由流通，成功打造出僅次於倫敦和紐約的全球第三大藝術品交易地。

另外，在《施政報告》中亦提及，期望透過香港演藝學院培育文化藝術人才，將資助有潛質中小藝團和年輕藝術家。代理建議，潛在買家可參考M+、故宮、大館等官方美術館的模式，轉型為高度安全的珍品和藝術品交易、展覽及儲藏中心。物業可改建一站式主題商場及訓練場地。

Elsewhere, a property agency proposed incorporating factors for the elderly in land sales while promoting public-private partnerships in property development, saying that the aging population issue is becoming increasingly critical in Hong Kong.

灣仔樂基中心新方案 料開綠燈

鄰近灣仔集成中心等商廈的樂基中心，早前撤回舊申請，並重新向城規會申請重建1幢商廈，新申請擬將建築物高限維持在110米，較舊方案減約9%。據規劃署最新表示，不反對該申請，意味周五 (19日) 很大機會獲城規會批准方案。

樂基中心位於灣仔灣仔道165至171號，地盤面積約6,932平方呎，現坐落於「住宅 (甲類)」用地之上。申請人早前撤回舊方案，並重新向會方申請以地積比率約15倍，重建1幢27層高 (包括2層地庫) 的商廈，以發展食肆、商店及服務行業、辦公室，總樓面約103,948平方呎。

渣甸山超豪宅屋地 7.5億易手

中港全面通關後，市場連錄多宗超豪宅買賣。市場消息透露，渣甸山高士美道5號屋地，剛登記以7.5億元易手。該項目曾由「大劉」劉鑾雄或有關人士持有。

渣甸山高士美道5號屋地，佔地約13,283平方呎，現有物業實用面積7,317平方呎、連8,550平方呎花園及前庭，另1,130平方呎平台及1,929平方呎天台；如以此面積計算，實呎價約10.25萬元，但若以地積比0.6倍計，項目可建樓面7,970平方呎，每呎樓面地價即約9.4萬元。

消息：曾由劉鑾雄持有

據了解，渣甸山高士美道5號屋地，2011年以海外公司登記買入，當時造價約4.6億元，而當時市場消息指新買家為「大劉」劉鑾雄，至2015年又有報道指，大劉將該豪宅地贈予女兒劉秀樺。

不過，至2017年高士美道5號登記一份按揭文件，由「重慶李嘉誠」之稱的張松橋簽署，未知是否從大劉手上接貨。值得注意的是，今次以7.5億元接貨的新買家，同樣為海外註冊公司登記，未能確定是否內部轉讓。若是次真的完成交易，則該屋地於12年間升值約63%。

其次，山頂MOUNT NICHOLSON上月中以約5.77億元售出12號洋房，該單位實用面積7,042平方呎，採四房四套連儲物室間隔，連2,715平方呎花園及泳池、1,970平方呎庭院及兩個車位，成交呎價8.2萬元。據指，登記買家姓陳，英文名採用國語拼音，須支付成交價15%、即約8,661.7萬元從價印花稅，惟未知是否須付買家印花稅，有機會是內地客或在港擁有物業的新香港人。

至於其他豪宅買賣方面，中半山富匯豪庭2座高層A、B室，實用面積合共3,738平方呎，剛以近2億元易手，呎價約5.35萬元。資料顯示，原業主2007年以約9,070萬元購入2個單位，持貨約16年，帳面獲利約1.09億元離場。

Hong Kong home prices ‘likely back in a downtrend’ as slump resumes after ‘short-lived’ first-quarter recovery: Citi

Since the last week of March, the city has recorded fewer than 80 transactions per week, and in one case only 35, according to a property agency

As low volumes pressure owners, with some of them selling at a loss, Citi now expects overall prices to stay flat through 2023

A first-quarter rally in Hong Kong’s home market turned out to be remarkably “short-lived”, as sales have now slumped and sellers are slashing prices to get deals done amid a “downward trend” that will last through the year, according to property agents and analysts.

Since the last week of March, the city’s property market has recorded fewer than 80 transactions per week, and in one case only 35, according to a property agency’s data.

The downturn follows a 7 per cent increase in home prices in the first quarter, Ken Yeung, property analyst with Citi, wrote in a research note on Tuesday.

“Hong Kong residential transaction volumes have been weakening since March 23, which was quite a surprise to us how short-lived this round of recovery was,” he said.

Hong Kong home prices “are likely back in a downtrend” given that weekly transaction volume in the secondary market has been low for two consecutive months, he said.

This is already evident this week, with some owners selling flats at a loss, according to another agency.

On Tuesday, one owner lost 5.4 per cent after selling a two-bedroom apartment at Mountain Shore in Ma On Shan for HK$7 million after five years of ownership.

A day before, another owner slashed the price for a three-bedroom home at Dragons Range in Kau To Shan, owned for eight years, by 16.8 per cent to HK$13.3 million.

The second-hand home market has been “inactive recently,” an agent said. Most of the deals that closed did so only after sellers dropped prices, the agent added.

Non-local buyers and local investors have not yet returned to the market despite the agent’s reopening, said Citi’s Yeung.

In April, transactions by non-local buyers accounted for only 1.5 per cent of home sales in Hong Kong, according to data from the Inland Revenue Department. The percentage has stayed below 2 per cent before and after China’s reopening – far from the average 5.2 per cent seen between 2018 and the first half of 2019.

Local investors are also buying fewer second homes. In April, they accounted for only 2.7 per cent of the transactions, versus 6.1 per cent between 2018 and the first half of 2019.

Looking ahead, Citi expects “overall home prices to stay flat in 2023, indicating around a 7 per cent home price drop during the second and fourth quarter”, Yeung said.

When weekly secondary volume falls below 80 deals, home prices have historically been unable to rebound over the short term, he said. Given the data since late March, he believes the market is at the beginning of a correction period.

“We expect this round of correction to last until the end of 2023,” he said, adding that home prices may rebound again when the US starts to cut interest rates in the first half of 2024 and a high season begins around the Lunar New Year period.

This month, a real estate consultancy also predicted that the home price rally in Hong Kong would lose steam in the near term.

Interest-rate increases are “affecting the buying interests of local and mainland buyers”, an agent said.

That said, Hong Kong’s investment-immigration scheme and tax incentives, coupled with Singapore’s hefty increase in stamp duty for additional buyers, “will lend support to housing demand in the future”, another agent said.

4月甲廈售價升3.2%

有代理行統計，4月份甲廈租金均按月上升，而售價升幅達3.2%。

有代理行發表的商廈市場報告指出，4月份分散業權甲廈售價及租金均錄得升幅，兩者分別按月升3.2%及0.3%。截至今年4月底，商廈買賣受到數宗高價成交帶動，甲廈售價今年以來累升6.6%。

租務成交方面，市場消息指字節跳動將進駐中環國際金融中心一期約2萬平方呎的單位，料呎租約120元。該辦公室原由瑞士寶盛租用，反映外資企業縮減規模及遷離核心商業區，以及中資企業偏好租賃該區甲廈，並逐步擴大香港市場的趨勢。

空置率回落至10.3%

該報告指出，上月全港整體甲廈空置率為10.3%，較3月回落0.1個百分點，而中區、灣仔及銅鑼灣、尖沙咀的空置率分別為8.8%、7.4%及8.1%。雖然復常後的商廈空置率仍維持高位，但部分區域的吸納情況稍有好轉，上環、尖沙咀、觀塘的空置率略為改善，其中上環跌0.5個百分點。

該行代理表示，上月商廈市場大額成交暢旺，最矚目的買賣集中在港島區，其中包括中資企業以2.55億元購買灣仔會展廣場辦公大樓1個逾8,000平方呎的中層單位，成交呎價約31,075元，及以約1.68億元成交的金鐘東昌大廈低層單位，成交呎價近2萬元。

生產總值增帶動需求

雖然未來面臨環球經濟增長放緩及出口受壓的挑戰，但根據政府最近公布的本地經濟數據，今年首季實質本地生產總值按年增長2.7%，更終止連續4個季度的跌勢，隨着香港與內地開放，本地經濟復甦步伐料可加快，預料跨境金融服務需求增加以及家族辦公室在港設立業務，可望帶動商廈的租賃需求。

堅尼地城地皮今招標 估值逾22億

港島政府地買少見少，當中位於堅尼地城西寧街與域多利道交界地皮，將於今日 (19日) 開始招標，並於6月30日 (周五) 截標。地皮估值約21.9億至23.1億元、每平方呎樓面地價約9,000元起。

可建樓面24.3萬呎

地皮目前為巴士總站，比鄰招商局第二貨倉及公眾殮房，地盤面積約24,327平方呎，現規劃為「住宅 (甲類)」用途，指定作非工業 (不包括倉庫、酒店及加油站) 用途，而私人住宅用途的最高可建樓面面積約24.3萬平方呎。

綜合市場資訊，地皮估值介乎約21.9億至23.1億元，每平方呎樓面地價約9,000至9,500元。

事實上，是次招標用地亦鄰近去年11月、以4.39億元 (每呎樓面地價約9,500元) 批出予興曄發展的西寧街地皮，相信去年批出的用地價錢亦有參考作用。

尖區彌敦道鋪每月55萬租出 六福珠寶「回歸」租金較疫市前跌38%

六福珠寶再度出擊，繼銅鑼灣羅素街、尖沙嘴廣東道，最新承租尖沙嘴彌敦道一個巨鋪，建築面積2500方呎，月租55萬，今番更是「回歸」舊址，租金較疫市前跌38%，較高位更大跌72%。

市場消息透露，尖沙嘴彌敦道66至70號金冠大廈A、G鋪，建築面積約2500方呎，剛由六福珠寶以每月55萬承租，簽署3年租約，平均呎租220元，上手租客時裝連鎖店 BAUHAUS，去年6月以每月30萬短租，再對上租客為連鎖化妝品店卓悅，於2019年以88萬進駐，惟翌年遷出。

資料顯示，六福珠寶曾於2009年起承租該鋪，簽訂5年長約，首3年月租70萬，隨後2年75.6萬，並於2014年高峰期以每月195萬續租，令市場嘩然，最新回歸舊地，租金較高位大跌72%。

呎租220元高位大跌72%

上述金冠大廈地鋪，過往一直由珠寶金行垂青，上海百年金行老店老鳳祥於2017年9月，承租金冠大廈地下C鋪，建築面積約700方呎，月租55萬，平均呎租約786元。

在兩地通關後，六福珠寶一枝獨秀，在黃金地段連番覓鋪擴張，連同上址在內，於3個月間連租3個地鋪，今年3月，承租羅素街8號英皇鐘錶珠寶中心地下3及5號鋪，建築面積3068方呎，一簽6年約，首3年月租80萬，呎租約261元，其後3年跟隨市值租金。

廣東道鋪傳每月100萬租出

六福珠寶今年4月，承租尖沙嘴廣東道新港中心地下38E號鋪，建築面積達3500方呎，月租約80萬，呎租約228元。

另外，尖沙嘴廣東道86至98號文利大廈地下1及2號地鋪，建築面積約3000方呎，市傳以約100萬租出，新租客由藥妝店，惟消息未獲證實，該鋪位對上租客為勞力士，月租高逾350萬。

六福珠寶回歸尖沙嘴彌敦道舊鋪址，租金較2014年高峰期大跌72%。

薄扶林愛蓮別墅作價逾5.3億 百年豪宅三級歷史建築太盟投資高天樂等承接

港島區薄扶林百年豪宅、位處沙宣道的三級歷史建築物愛蓮別墅早前易手，市場消息透露，項目獲準買家爭奪，最終以高逾5.3億易手，接近業主意向價，新主人為投資界翹楚、太盟投資創辦人之一高天樂 (Chris Gradel) 及相關人士。

愛蓮別墅於今年1月份，由遺囑執行人教會機構推出招標市值5.5億，及後低調易手，市場消息透露，新買家為太盟投資創辦人之一高天樂 (Chris Gradel) 及相關人士，以接近業主意向價逾5.3億承接，遠高於市傳的4.5億。新買家鍾情該地段的環境及物業的歷史背景，更有機會作為自住。

樓面地價每呎3.6萬

高天樂是太盟投資集團的創始人、主管合夥人兼首席投資官，他於2002年創辦太盟投資，現時該集團管理逾100億美元的資產，在創立太盟前，他領導馬蒙集團 (Marmon Group) 投資於中國。早年，他畢業於牛津大學，持有工程學、經濟學及管理學聯合碩士學位，並於1999年至2002年，擔任麥肯錫公司香港地區總經理，有豐富併購經驗，交易涉及中港兩地、台灣、新加坡、印尼、德國和美國。

中國人未必喜歡薄扶林，嫌地段略為僻靜，區內有大型醫院及墳場。然而，區內獨特的清靜，密度之低，空氣清新，為外籍人士夢寐以求，向來聚集外資公司高層，該別墅毗鄰牛奶公司「大班屋」，以及置地公司旗下多幢洋房。本港世家望族亦於區內持有物業，愛蓮別墅亦鄰近沙宣道的霍家大宅。

老牌家族將物業贈教會

愛蓮別墅於2010年確定為三級歷史建築，物業背山面海，坐擁180度海景，物業外牆綠色，由於丟空多時，內櫳甚殘舊。項目佔地約19500方呎，地積比0.75倍，最高可重建面積約14625方呎，以成交價逾5.3億計算，平均樓面地價每呎約3.62萬。

可重建面積約14625呎

該物業距離數碼港僅數分鐘車程，前往堅尼地城和中環，分別只需時11分鐘和15分鐘車程。

原業主家族約1920至1930年期間，自行發展上述物業作為自住，家族成員身故後，將物業作為慈善用途，贈予天主教會，該別墅曾由英國傳教士使用，50年代更曾供瑪麗醫院，作為護士宿舍。

Home prices seen turning downward

Hong Kong's residential property prices are expected to decline by 7 percent from the second quarter until the end of the year, taking them back to levels seen in the first three months, Citigroup says.

The bank highlighted the fact that despite the 7-percent increase in home prices during the first quarter, the number of transactions has also been declining since March.

The current recovery of the property market is considered short-term, as weekly transactions in the secondary market have stayed at a low level for two consecutive months, pointing to a downward trend.

Away from that sobering prediction, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) sold all 185 flats listed in the price list for University Hill Phase 2B in Tai Po.

The flats listed as available for sale included studio to three-bedroom units, ranging from a discounted price of HK$3.33 million to HK$9.36 million, with a total market value exceeding HK$1.39 billion.

According to a property agency, there is a significant demand for self-use properties priced below HK$10 million.

But the overall market situation during late April to early May was deemed unfavorable due to the impact of the US banking crisis and uncertainty in interest rates.

Meanwhile, the mortgage-related one-month Hong Kong interbank offered rate surged to 4.57238 percent, reaching a near high over five months.

Additionally, another property agency has been appointed to sell a package of properties in Mong Kok consisting of a block of commercial and residential properties including shops, with an estimated total market value of around HK$373 million.

開設首間地舖門市 較舊租低近3成

中資大型證券商擴充，尖沙咀彌敦道地下連1樓4,000呎舖位，獲富途證券租用，月租料約70萬元，較舊租跌近3成，而是次為富途首間門市，可達宣傳之效。

尖沙咀錄得大樓面舖位租務成交，涉及彌敦道96號地下及1樓，該物業位處加連威老道及彌敦道交界，對面為THE ONE商場，屬尖沙咀優質地段舖位。物業地下面積約1,354平方呎，連同1樓面積約3,083平方呎，合共約4,437平方呎，成交月租料約70萬元。

翻查資料，該舖曾由東亞銀行租用多年，高峰期月租逾百萬元，直至2019年遷出，及後由化粧品店以約98萬元租用，品牌亦遷出，交吉多時，近日終以每月約70萬元租出，租金較舊租跌近3成。

新租客為中資證券商富途，而近日舖位外亦貼上宣傳，現正裝修即將開業。富途為內地大型證券商，2012年成立以來，發展甚快，及後於美國上市。該集團指扎根香港，並致力於科技驅動創新。集團旗下富途牛牛屬一站式綫上證券交易及財富管理平台，集行情、交易、資訊、社交互動等功能於一體，甚受歡迎。是次屬集團首間地舖門市，故既有助擴充業務，亦有利宣傳品牌。

核心區舖位租務 明顯加快

自從通關後，整體核心區舖位租務明顯加快，如是次成交地舖，對面THE ONE商場地下近3千呎舖位，最近亦以每月約35萬元租出，新租客為名牌二手店Brand Off。

該品牌原租用同區北京道良士大廈地下，面積約1,200平方呎，遷出後已獲藥妝店承租，月租涉及約43萬元，可見近期核心區商舖租務加速。

另據一間代理行綜合土地註冊處資料顯示，4月份商舖註冊宗數錄61宗 (主要反映3月份市況)，按月下跌約39.6%；註冊金額約9.60億元，按月減少約52.5%。該行預期，隨着商舖買家逐步消化五一黃金周零售表現符合預期等消息後，部分資金或會流入舖市，惟國際金融市場及地緣政治仍存有暗湧，預料短期內舖位註冊量只會在現水平維持平穩上升。

Uncertainty weighs on property market

Residential and retail property sales in Hong Kong are showing signs of slowing down amid economic uncertainty and interest rate movements.

Only three deals were recorded at 10 major housing estates over the weekend, down by 50 percent from a week ago, according to a property agency.

It was also the third consecutive weekend with single-digit transactions since the prime rate was raised earlier this month.

The market sentiment has "obviously improved" compared to last month but with competitive pricing, new homes took all the attention and purchasing power away from the secondary market, a property agent said.

The agent expects second-hand home transaction volume to remain low in the short run as more new projects are coming onto the market.

In the new home market, In One Above, or phase 1A of In One, atop Ho Man Tin MTR station sold at least 48 out of 90 units on offer yesterday, said the developer Chinachem.

Phase 1C also sold two more flats yesterday, including a 576-square-foot unit with two bedrooms for HK$18.75 million, or HK$32,554 per sq ft.

Phase 1B and 1C combined have sold 356 units for over HK$6.1 billion since sales kicked off in March.

Still, the pace of new home sales may have slowed down compared to the previous phases of the project and other new developments sold in the past few months.

Wheelock Properties' Koko Rosso in Lam Tin sold nearly 150 flats on the first day of sales in March.

In Pak Shek Kok, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) will start a new round of sales of 240 flats, including 222 on the price lists, at University Hill Phase 2B in Pak Shek Kok on Wednesday.

The 222 flats, which comprise studio to three-bedroom units, are priced between HK$3.3 million and HK$11 million after discounts, or around HK$13,024 to HK$19,932, the developer said, adding that prices of some homes were raised by up to 9 percent compared to the previous batches.

Some 300 unsold homes at the University Hill project will be put on the market in the fourth quarter when the project is completed, it added.

In the commercial market, the agency said that the value of street shop transactions more than halved to HK$960 million in April from the previous month as prices increased amid an expectation of tourism recovery for the Labor Day holiday.

The agency sees the transaction volume would remain flat in the short term amid external uncertainties.

Meanwhile, US Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell gave a clear signal he is inclined to pause interest-rate increases next month, citing the recent banking stresses.

"Having come this far, we can afford to look at the data and the evolving outlook to make careful assessments," he said.

凱施尖東銀主鋪6950萬開拍

近期陷入財困的凱施餅店，再有物業淪為銀主盤。尖沙嘴加連威老道98號新東海商業中心地下G1及G2鋪位，建築面積約1814方呎，銀主委託拍賣行於下周拍賣，開價6950萬，平均呎價3.83萬。

現時上址由凱施餅店承租，月租18萬，租期由2023年3月至2025年2月，若以開價計算，租金回報率約3.1厘。

Hong Kong land sale could fetch US$294 million for Kennedy Town plot expected to yield 450 flats

The first government tender of the financial year started on Friday for a plot of land in an area popular with expats

Surveyors expect between five and 15 bids from developers, who may bid conservatively amid high interest rates and sluggish home sales

A plot of land on Hong Kong Island that is expected to yield about 450 flats – some with a sea view – could fetch HK$2.3 billion (US$294 million) as the first government tender process of this financial year gets under way.

The tender for the land, at the junction of Sai Ning Street and Victoria Road in Kennedy Town, started on Friday, according to the Lands Department.

The plot should attract around five bidders and “conservative” bids of HK$2.2 billion (US$281.5 million) to HK$2.3 billion, or HK$9,000 to HK$9,500 per square foot, a surveyor said.

A nearby parcel sold in November for around HK$9,500 per square foot, according to a surveyor.

“It will appeal to both end users and investors,” a surveyor said, who expects 12 to 15 bids. “Expats will like this area as it is close to Central and well-served by MTR, tram and road networks.”

The key selling point is the plot’s relatively large scale on Hong Kong Island, and the fact that some flats will enjoy a sea view, the surveyor added.

Kennedy Town and the general western area is a popular area for younger, unmarried expats, the surveyor said. “They are definitely one batch of the potential tenants after completion of the residential development, as small to medium flat sizes are expected” the surveyor said.

However, developers may take a wait-and-see attitude towards the first tender in this financial year,” the surveyor said, adding that a nearby public mortuary will also be a factor that developers consider, as some people would not like to live near such a facility.

“Potential developers will be concerned about the location, and the sales market, as most likely the developer will sell the residential apartments after completion,” the surveyor said.

The Surveyor echoed the view that developers may bid more conservatively than in the past because of higher financing costs amid the current high interest rates, as well as slow sales in the primary Hong Kong property market.

The tender comes after the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) early this month raised its key lending rate to a 15-year high, in what could be the last hike in 2023.

Looking ahead, Citi expects “overall home prices to stay flat in 2023, indicating around a 7 per cent home price drop during the second and fourth quarter”, the bank said in a report this week.

Hong Kong’s homebuyers return to market, snapping up new flats at In One Above project in Ho Man Tin on Sunday

More than half the available flats at the project by Chinachem Properties and MTR Corporation sold by 5:30pm on Sunday

The flats were priced between HK$7.99 million (US$998,000) and HK$30.08 million, or HK$21,948 to HK$32,800 per square foot

Historically high lending rates did not stop Hong Kong’s homebuyers from returning to the market on Sunday to snap up a fresh batch of flats in Ho Man Tin, highlighting improved sentiment in the city’s battered home market.

In the first two hours of the sale, 48 of the 90 flats were sold at the In One Above project by Chinachem Properties and MTR Corporation, according to Chinachem. Another 20 units were slated to be sold separately via bidding.

The flats on offer on Sunday, consisting of one- to three-bedroom flats ranging from 327 to 960 sq ft, were priced between HK$7.99 million and HK$30.08 million after discounts of up to 15 per cent, which translates to HK$21,948 to HK$32,800 per square foot, according to agents.

“In One Above has an advantageous geographical location, with an exclusive elevator that goes directly to the lobby of the Ho Man Tin MTR station,” a property agent said. “The asking prices of the flats were close to market prices, which makes them attractive to homebuyers, but also long-term investors,” the agent said.

Rental prices for the flats could reach HK$80 per square foot, with a rental return of around 3.5 per cent, the agent estimated.

“Coupled with the view of the Victoria Harbour … it is expected that these units will continue to be sought by the market,” the agent said. The agent expected around 70 per cent of the flats to sell by the end of the day.

The project will have a total of 447 units ranging from 311 sq ft to 1,615 sq ft. It is slated for completion in November 2024.

Market sentiment in late May has significantly improved from April, and as long as developers can keep their asking prices at restrained levels, transactions of new flats could reach 1,200 this month, another agent said. Around 770 first-hand flat transactions were recorded in May as of Saturday, the agent added.

“Second-hand properties are under pressure from competitive asking prices from new flats,” the agent said. “Second-hand property prices are expected to fluctuate within a narrow range.”

The city’s property market has been showing signs of an upswing. The Rating and Valuation Department’s home price index, a gauge of lived-in home prices, climbed 1.35 per cent to 351.4 in March, the highest since 360.3 in September. It was the third straight monthly increase, with gains in Hong Kong’s secondary market adding up to about 5 per cent for the year.

Hong Kong’s economy expanded 2.7 per cent year on year in the first three months of 2023, marking the end of a recession after four straight quarters of decline owing to the devastating impact of the coronavirus and the corresponding government restrictions, according to preliminary figures released by the Hong Kong government earlier this month. The economy shrank by 4.1 per cent year on year in the final three months of 2022.

Meanwhile the cost of money has soared as the city’s de facto central bank followed the US Federal Reserve in a long series of interest-rate increases, culminating in the key lending rate hitting a 15-year high this month.

The In One Above sale comes hot on the heels of a sell-out sale last weekend, when homebuyers snapped up 159 of the 160 units available at Sun Hung Kai Properties’ (SHKP) University Hill project in Tai Po on May 13.

Last week, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui Ching-yu stonewalled calls for more relief measures to help residents purchase property as legislators approved a tax-cutting bill for buyers of cheaper homes.

Hui said the bill would benefit about 37,000 homebuyers by reducing stamp duty payments by up to HK$67,500 (US$8,612).

Stamp duty is a tax levied on documents that are required to legally record property transactions. The government began imposing a series of increased stamp duties on property in 2010 in a bid to crack down on rampant speculation.

美資BGC租中環友邦金融中心 威士忌麥卡倫落戶太古廣場

通關後中環核心區租務稍加快，主要為搬遷活動。美資金融機構BGC租用中環友邦金融中心約2萬平方呎樓面，呎租料約110元，該機構原租用同區國際金融中心二期，是次搬遷屬擴充個案；另金鐘太古廣場全層，獲威士忌品牌麥卡倫租用，呎租近100元，品牌原租用九龍灣商廈，現趁機擴充及升級。

市場消息指，中環友邦金融中心錄得租務成交，涉及物業高層1室，面積約1萬平方呎，以及同廈中層06至09室，面積約9,300平方呎，兩單位合共近2萬平方呎，以每呎約110元租出。由於該廈屬中環超甲廈，租金屬市價水平。

租友邦金融中心2萬呎 呎租110

據了解，新租客為美資金融機構BGC Partners，該集團業務包括各類金融產品提，如股票，商品，衍生產品等，而該企業目前租用中環國際金融中心二期64樓單位，面積約1.3萬平方呎，估計市值呎租逾120元。是次機構搬遷，主要可進行擴充業務。

另外，核心區租金回調後，吸引機構遷入，甚至九龍區商戶趁機升級。市場人士指，金鐘太古廣場二座中層全層，面積約2萬平方呎，以每呎約100元租出。消息稱，新租客為知名威士忌品牌麥卡倫 (The Macallan)，其出品威士忌深受愛好者追捧，個別年份出品亦成收藏家至愛。

進駐太古廣場全層 呎租約100

據了解，該英國企業目前租用九龍灣國際交易中心中層單位，面積約1.2萬平方呎，市值呎租約20餘元。如今遷入金鐘地標甲廈太古廣場，既作出擴充，亦為辦公室升級，相信正因核心區呎租已回調2成以上，故趁機進駐，屬以往較少九龍區商戶升級至中環核心商廈個案。

隨着中港通關，核心區租務活動稍加快，並以搬遷個案為主，將於今年落成的中環長江集團中心二期，近日錄首宗租務，涉及物業為高層半層，面積逾8,000平方呎，成交呎租約120元，租戶為內地聯合能源集團，主要業務為上游石油天然氣勘探開發及生產運營等，原租金鐘太古廣場二座單位，如今搬遷既有擴充，亦可升級至中環全新超甲廈。

據一間外資代理行最新數字，4月整體甲級寫字樓市場錄得99,400平方呎的負吸納量，而中環甲級寫字樓空置率升至7.5%，租賃活動主要為租戶在區內搬遷，包括中國人壽富蘭克林資產管理據悉已承租交易廣場一座全層樓面，涉及1.39萬平方呎，屬同區遷出。該行統計顯示，3年多疫情，甲廈呎租已調整26.2%，而空置率亦由疫情前的6.1%，升至最新12.3%。

該行代理指出，自從通關後，企業睇樓活動倍增，惟落實的租務尚未算多，相信因企業仍在比較多個商廈單位，而經過租金調整後，接獲很多機構查詢擴充、升級，比起收縮業務的個案多，反映市況仍正面，故料下半年成交量將明顯增加。代理分析，核心區中環可率先反彈，租務較活躍，而租金則因料見底回穩。

租金降客重返 中環地位難取代？

通關後，寫字樓租務活動加快，而租務多來自搬遷，以往因中環租金高企，導致去中環化，如今租金調整，可望吸引租戶重返或遷入。

經過3年疫情，寫字樓需求受衝擊，據一間外資代理行最新資料，空置樓面逾千萬平方呎，創歷史新高。通關後甲廈新需求未算強勁，租務活動多來自搬遷、整合業務為主。同時間，今年有220萬平方呎樓面新供應，故要消化大批寫字樓需要時間。

現時呎租 較高峰期回調3成

正因新供應多，當中不乏大型項目，業主亦難以進取態度叫租，競爭激烈下，業主普遍以較便宜租金吸引客人遷入，而目前中環核心超甲廈，呎租水平約100至120元，即使全新項目亦接近此水平，已較高峰期回調3成以上。

在經濟最理想之時，甲廈出租率高，中區空置率低至約2%，令區內甲廈租金高企，故不少企業為節省成本，把部門遷往港島東、銅鑼灣等，「去中環化」一時成為主題。如今情況有變，中環甲廈租金經調整後，與其他非核心區距離縮窄，去中環化誘因下降。

租金曾高企 企業「去中環化」

中環始終是金融核心區，地位難以取代，而不少指標甲廈，目前租金水平降至每呎100元以下，對一些租用非核心區企業來說，中區租金達到可負擔水平而趁機搬入。

另外，亦有企業把握機會，搬至中環優質甲廈，以提升寫字樓級數。因此，即使整體甲廈租務新需求未見強勁，佔領導地位的中區，租務活動仍較多。

上環信德中心 合中港企業進駐

上環一帶為香港經濟中心之一，商廈林立，而上環信德中心為區內指標物業，交通配套佳，加上大部分單位景觀開揚，可享全海景，故吸引不少商戶進駐。

信德中心寫字樓樓層由9樓至最高40樓，電梯大堂共分兩段，中低層9至24樓位於大廈地下，而高層單位設於商場。單位實用率高，東翼實用率普遍僅為7成，相對西翼實用率逾8成。

大廈每層樓面面積約2.5萬平方呎，最多可分間成18個單位，面積由千餘平方呎起。景觀方面，由於項目位處臨海，單位可享海景，最優質應為2至5號單位，面向正維港煙花景。

另外01、16至18號單位，均享有海景。至於其他單位，望向上環商廈及中半山樓景，景觀開揚。

基座港澳碼頭 天橋接國金

交通方面，大廈位處港鐵上環站上蓋，而從地下入口，可直達物業東翼的電梯大堂，門口有多條巴士綫，對出干諾道西亦有巴士站、電車等。信德中心東翼位置上較接近中環，對出的天橋，連接至中環國際金融中心商場，交通便利。此外，物業基座為港澳碼頭，方便來往澳門，合中港企業進駐。

飲食配套上，大廈基座設多層商場，提供不同類型的餐廳包括酒樓、快餐店、茶餐廳等，可滿足不同上班族的需要。

成交方面，大廈今年暫未錄得成交，最近中層11室，面積2,559平方呎，以8,500萬元易手，呎價3.32萬元。另中層1室，面積約2,534平方呎，成交價約6,830萬元，呎價約26,953元。

受惠於中港全面通關及振興經濟等因素，港島區商廈買賣市場漸趨活躍，近期亦有個別中資巨企進駐核心區甲廈，帶動區內寫字樓備受關注。

項目總市值逾1.5億

廣東道巨鋪每月100萬租出 龍豐藥妝進駐 較疫市前跌71%

近年活躍於巿場的龍豐藥妝趁鋪租大跌，積極於核心區擴張，繼去年承租中環巨鋪，最新於尖沙嘴「名店街」廣東道承租一個巨鋪，月租約100萬，平均呎租234元，較疫情前大跌逾71%。

上址為廣東道86至98號文利大廈地下1至3號鋪，建築面積約4275方呎，以約100萬租出，平均呎租234元。

平均呎租234元

現場所見，新租客為龍豐藥妝，店鋪裝修中，龍豐近年積極擴張，早於去年進駐中環皇后大道中37號余道生行地下及閣樓巨鋪，約4500方呎，月租60萬，平均呎租133元，較舊租客運動時裝FILA月租140萬，跌幅57%。

租金高位跌84%

該文利大廈地下1至3號鋪，曾由瑞士鐘表品牌Juvenia (尊皇)，於2021年12月以約150萬承租，新租金下跌33%。再對上為冠亞名錶城，早於2013年起承租該鋪，月租630萬，新租金較高峰期急挫84%，意味着最新鋪租不及高峰時20%；於2019年，冠亞名錶城仍以每月350萬續租該鋪，新租金較疫市前跌71%。

「名店街」廣東道過往極少由藥房承租，今年以來連錄租賃，今年2月，廣東道文利大廈地下6號鋪，獲龍華藥妝店進駐，月租約30萬，建築面積約1200方呎，呎租約250元，已開業。

鄧成波家族 加快放售多項物業

通關後有利旅遊業，鄧成波家族即趁機放售酒店及商場，總值約62億元。

近期鄧成波家族加快放售大型物業，並委託多間測量師行，推售物業。有代理表示，獲業主委託出售荃灣海濱廣場商場，現正邀意向書，6月19日截標。荃灣海濱廣場坐落於新界荃灣怡樂街，建於1990年，總面積約24萬平方呎，並連171個車位。步行約7分鐘即可抵達荃灣西港鐵站，目前廣場尚處於關閉狀態。代理指，物業現時意向價約12億元，扣減車位價值約2億元，商場折合呎價僅約4,120元。

荃灣海濱廣場商場 意向價12億

另一代理表示，獲委託放售油麻地彌敦道525至543A號部分地下至3樓基座商場，以連現有租約出售。3層商場總建築面積約62,300平方呎，物業包括地下面積約6,600平方呎，適合各行各業，包括金舖、零售及餐飲等，內置扶手梯及3部升降機連接1樓至3樓。據悉，物業市值約7.2億元。翻查資料，項目曾為醫療作主題的美迪寧廣場。

另外，家族亦放售3項酒店，另一代理表示，獲委託放售兩酒店，其中觀塘悅品海景酒店，於2007年落成，樓高32層，享兩面單邊優勢，佔地約19,000平方呎，總樓面面積約241,686平方呎。酒店提供598間客房，屬區內少有的大型酒店，房間面積由200至400平方呎，曾作檢疫酒店用途。物業市值約23億元，平均每房價值約385萬元。事實上，去年尾曾有財團向鄧成波家族洽購上述項目連同旺角酒店，總涉資約34億元，惟最終取消交易，觀塘悅品海景酒店現重新放售。另一項放售酒店為葵涌嘉慶路12號的旭逸雅捷酒店，物業原為工廈，2018年完成活化改裝，總樓面約5萬平方呎，提供170間房。物業市值約5億元，平均每房價值約294萬元，兩項酒店總值約28億元。

旅遊業復甦 放盤3酒店套現

至於另一代理行表示，獲委託放售屯門悅品度假酒店。物業位於屯門建豐街4號，為1幢14層高之酒店，建築面積逾22.7萬平方呎，共提供430間客房。項目位於屯門建豐街及震寰路交界，步行至港鐵屯門站約需3分鐘。設施上，2樓設有主題餐廳，並有會議室、健身中心、兒童樂園、戶外游泳池及水療中心。該酒店現估值約14.8億元，按430間房計，平均每房價值約344萬元。

翻查資料，該物業由鄧成波家族持有，2013年斥近5億元購入屯門有成工業大廈全幢，呎價約2,165元，其後申請活化改裝成酒店，並於2019年開業。

分析指，自從通關後，旅客重臨香港，令旅遊業相關的物業需求轉多，除了涉及零售的商舖外，酒店入住率大幅改善，房價上升，價值亦因此回升。鄧成波家族持有大量商舖及酒店，現趁通關後市況好轉，財團對酒店及商舖感興趣，故家族即放售物業，希望可減磅及套現。

屋宇署3月批出19圖則

屋宇署今年3月共批出19份建築圖則，資料顯示，當中包括最少6個傳統豪宅地段的發展計劃，其中麗新發展 (00488) 西半山旭龢道住宅項目，獲准興建1幢分層住宅，樓面面積約5.42萬方呎。位於渣甸山畢拉山徑的渣甸園，則准重建為5幢洋房，平均每幢面積約5337方呎。

麗新旭龢道准建單幢豪宅

前述麗新發展西半山住宅項目，屬於旭龢道1及1A號，獲屋宇署批准興建1幢19層 (另設2層低層地下) 的分層住宅樓宇。根據麗新發展今年3月公布的業績中透露，該用地將興建豪宅項目，提供約28個中至大型住宅單位。

3月獲批的其他豪宅項目，包括畢拉山徑24至38號渣甸園，將可興建5幢3層 (另設1層停車庫) 洋房，涉及總樓面面積約2.67萬方呎，折合平均每幢約5337方呎，市場盛傳南豐發展或有關人士有份持有該項目。九龍區方面，則包括帝邦投資或有關人士持有的九龍塘歌和老街14號翠亨園，可興建為1幢7層的分層住宅，樓面面積約3.15萬方呎。

非住宅項目方面，3月以21.34億元循強制拍賣統一業權的尖沙咀漢口道43至49A號漢口大廈，原來同月也獲屋宇署批出建築圖則，可興建1幢25層商業樓宇，樓面面積約13.88萬方呎，市場盛傳大業主為新世界發展 (00017) 或有關人士。銅鑼灣波斯富街85至89號舊樓則獲准興建1幢26層 (另設1層地庫) 商業樓宇，涉及約4.84萬方呎樓面面積。

屋宇署亦公布最新的私人住宅動工 (按屋宇署接獲上蓋建築工程動工通知為準) 和落成情況，有代理表示，今年3月共有兩個樓盤動工，共涉1314伙，創去年5月錄得2522伙以來的近10個月新高。

私宅1314單位動工 10個月高

今年首季共有1916伙動工，較去年同期減少約19.6%，惟今年3月是近7個月首見有提供逾1000伙的大型新盤開工。現時尚有多個新盤可隨時動工，今年全年動工量有力挑戰1.2萬伙以上水平。

另外，3月共有503伙落成，來自何文田 VAU Residence 和旺角ONE SOHO等3個項目，另一代理說，今年首季共有6796伙落成，相當於差餉物業估價署全年落成量預測19953伙約34.1%；截至5月21日，今年首季落成單位中，約4022伙或約59.2%已經售出。

20 luxury flats to rise in Mid-Levels

Hong Kong's Buildings Department approved 19 construction plans in March, including the redevelopment of Lai Sun Development's (0488) project on Kotewall Road in the Mid-Levels into a 19-story tower with 20 flats.

The tower will include two basement levels and recreational facilities over a total area of 54,000 square feet.

The project will offer around 20 three- and four-bedroom apartments, with plans to make them available for sale as early as 2025.

Lai Sun Development had acquired two old buildings at No 1 and No 1A Kotewall Road for a total of HK$1.3 billion last year, with plans to redevelop them into a luxury residential development.

Meanwhile, five 3-story detached houses will be built in Jardine Court, a luxury project located on Mount Butler Drive in Jardine's Lookout.

Nan Fung Group was reported to have bought a 60 percent stake in Jardine Court for over HK$900 million last year.

In other news, the Hong Kong Interbank offered rate stood above 4.76 percent across all maturities and is expected to remain high this year until the US cuts rates.

The mortgage-related one-month Hibor advanced for the fifth day in a row to 4.77506 percent yesterday, marking a new high since December last year.

HSBC Asia expects the city's underlying interest rates will remain high for a longer time as the lender predicts US Fed will not cut rates until the middle of next year.

Hong Kong’s lived-in home prices to drop 5 per cent this year as sales sputter amid new-home glut, high interest rates, property consultancy said

Two property consultancies joins Citi in predicting a decline in lived-in home prices

The company’s latest report cites a shrinking labour force as a significant historical indicator of falling home prices

Another property consultancy has joined a growing chorus that believes lived-in home prices are destined to slide in Hong Kong as sales sputter after a recovery in the first quarter proved short-lived.

The consultancy on Monday predicted a 5 per cent drop amid high interest rates, a glut of new homes potentially hitting the market and a shrinking labour force. The forecast followed predictions of a decline from another consultancy and Citi.

“Overall, we believe this year’s home prices will be in the downward direction,” an agent said. “Buyers will find new homes more attractive than lived-in homes.”

The consultancy on Monday released its latest analysis of the factors that move the city’s home prices, based on more than 40,000 data points and multiple indicators over 25 years.

“In a high-interest environment, a tough stress test is required for buying lived-in homes,” the agent said. “For new homes, there are often loans from the developers. This factor will affect the decisions of first-time buyers. Lived-in home prices will be under pressure.”

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority early this month raised its key lending rate to a 15-year high, and the agent said an additional increase of 0.125 to 0.25 per cent is still possible this year.

Home prices may fall as much as 3 per cent in the second quarter and 7 per cent in the second half of the year, the agent said.

The official lived-in home price index rose 5 per cent in the first quarter after a 15 per cent plunge last year, according to data from the Rating and Valuation Department.

Hong Kong lost 0.8 per cent of its labour force year on year in the first quarter, the agnet said, adding that the city lost about 200,000 people in the last two to three years to emigration, in many cases due to Covid-19 restrictions, as well as departures by short-term workers.

The size of the labour force has been “the most significant indicator for home prices and rents, both in the long term and in the recent Covid period”, according to the consultancy’s report.

People who left because of the pandemic and the economy will return when Hong Kong’s economy performs better, the agent said, but another issue – the advancing age of the population – cannot be easily resolved.

“There were quite some deaths amid Covid-19,” the agent said. “More importantly, Hong Kong’s birth rate has been relatively low. This affects Hong Kong’s long-term labour force.”

Meanwhile, the agent said, the number of talented individuals the city hopes to attract through the Top Talent Pass Scheme and other initiatives represents a tiny fraction of Hong Kong’s overall labour force of some 3.8 million.

A glut of new homes will also work against lived-in home prices.

The city had 18,000 unsold new homes in the last quarter, a number even higher than the 15,000 units sold in 2021, which was a “good year”, the agent said.

This presses down new-home prices, which will in turn impact the lived-in market.

“Coupled with the incomplete projects that have already applied for presale consent and have not been approved, the number adds up,” the agent said. “So developers are selling under pressure. Recently we have started to see price cuts by 3 to 5 per cent for new-home projects in the market.”

Also not helpful, in the agent’s view, is the government’s attempt to attract overseas talent by refunding the extra stamp duty to eligible homebuyers who become permanent residents after seven years. As the duty is large, the long wait for the refund fails to entice buyers as much as an immediate exemption would, the agent said.

“Affected by interest rate hikes, buyers have become cautious and hesitant to enter the market,” another agent said. “Turnover in the second-hand property market has been muted. Some homeowners have sharply reduced prices to sell.”

For example, Ma On Shan district saw only 51 lived-in housing deals in the first 22 days this month, down about 25 per cent month on month, according to another property agency. One owner at Mountain Shore lost HK$100,000 (US$12,779) selling a flat measuring 653 sq ft.

Another property agency on Monday said the number of sales at 35 major estates in the last week slid for the third straight week to a 10-month low of 34.

The property consultancy’s view echoes that of Citi, which expects overall home prices to stay flat in 2023, indicating around a 7 per cent drop during the second and fourth quarters, it said in a report last week.

Another property agent early this month predicted that home prices in the city would change direction and eventually could fall more than 5 per cent for the whole of 2023, citing challenging economic fundamentals and global geopolitical tensions.

有外資代理行最新發表的香港地產市場報告中指出，今年有更多新寫字樓落成，香港甲廈主要受企業提升辦公室質素需求帶動。

該行表示，今年將有約320萬方呎甲廈樓面落成，推高寫字樓空置率，同時新商廈吸引租戶遷入，以整合及提升其辦公空間質素。市場不乏各類面積新寫字樓樓層選擇，更配備最新綠化及科技設施，不少租戶視現時為提升辦公室質素的良機。

商戶升級搬遷主導

該行指出，在新租賃中，金融科技公司Doo Group租用觀塘 The Millennity 全層，涉及建築面積共12600方呎，市場矚目。

由於月內數個樓面面積較大的單位重投市場，整體甲級寫字樓市場在4月錄得24.51萬方呎負淨吸納量，整體空置率於4月底微升至12.3%，中環空置率橫行，4月整體寫字樓市場租金按月跌0.3%，主要分區市場中，中環和九龍東租金均下跌0.5%，尖沙嘴租金微升0.3%。

空置率微升至12.3%

商鋪市場方面，該行另一代理表示，旅客重返香港後，核心區街鋪租賃活動加快，成交租約大多為標準的二年至三年期限，較疫情期間不乏短租情況改善。

Downward property trend tied to labor

The decline in Hong Kong's working population may drag down property prices according to a real estate consultancy.

But luxury home buyers remained undeterred as evidenced by the sale of houses on The Peak for over HK$2.6 billion.

Due to the correlation between the size of the labor force and home prices and rents, the 0.8 percent decline in the working population during the first quarter led the consultancy to forecast a potential fall of 1.2 to 3.6 percent in property prices over the next three months.

An agent said despite a robust economic and tourism rebound following the full reopening of borders the property market remained impacted by various unfavorable macro factors such as high interest rates, weak imports and exports and a poor stock market performance.

Unless there is a notable labor force rebound in the coming months, the agent said, home prices and rents in Hong Kong are expected to underperform this year.

However, Twenty Peak Road by V, a luxury project developed by V Group, saw significant activity as four houses were sold there yesterday for a total of HK$2.67 billion. The houses, ranging in area from 3,722 to 4,740 square feet, went for from HK$150,200 to HK$181,400 per sq ft.

疫情過後經濟平穩復甦，投資者在選址營商時更傾向於性價比高的單位，經活化的工廈因租金吸引，而受不少創業人士追捧，其中，位處觀塘瀝洋現時尚有3層樓面招租，每呎叫租約18元起。

每層逾7000呎 備寫字樓裝修

有代理表示，位於觀塘鴻圖道71號瀝洋，現時該項目尚有3層樓面正招租，分別位於4樓、8樓及9樓，每層面積約7,285平方呎，每月租金叫價約130,000元，每平方呎租金約18元。

項目樓高14層，經活化後，所有樓層均為寫字樓單位，備有獨立冷氣系統，大廈可24小時進出，為租客提供靈活彈性的工作時間，而4樓更附設平台免費供租戶使用，大廈更設有車位，方便駕車一族。

出租率達8成

該代理續指，項目經活化後裝修較為時尚摩登，亦擁罕有大面積樓層及靈活間隔，屬區內優質物業，故該廈屢受租客歡迎，如貿易公司、政府辦公部門、科技公司及廣告公司等，至今出租率長期維持在8成水平，當中6樓全層為東華三院轄下之「The Oasis青年共享空間」，為不少初創企業和青年創業家的創業基地，現時每層樓面平均呎租介乎18至19元。

另一代理續指，瀝洋為活化商廈項目，前身為瀝洋工業大廈，坐落觀塘主要幹道，交通便捷，有多條巴士、小巴綫往來港、九及新界，與港鐵觀塘站僅約5分鐘步程。上址鄰近區內甲級商廈、酒店，及東九龍旗艦商場apm，比鄰的 KOHO、Eastcore 等均為活化商廈，帶動區內商業氣氛濃厚，支持租金走勢發展向好。此外，活化項目無論外觀上、以及單位基本配備，與商廈無大分別，但呎租卻相對便宜，如上述招租物業，呎租多介乎18元至19元，相比之下，現時區內甲廈呎租約26至27元，可見活化項目性價比較高具競爭力，整體而言對租戶極具吸引力，預計疫情後此類物業租賃交投會持續受追捧，未來升值潛力更高。

西環西邊街巨鋪2700萬易手 國光書局沽售持貨40年升值12倍

兩地通關後，零售及鋪市氣氛好轉，有自用的鋪主卻選擇在現時沽貨，西環國光書局沽售自用近40年的地鋪，作價2700萬，物業升值12.5倍。

西營盤西邊街18至20號國松樓地下A、B鋪及地庫，地鋪建築面積約2000呎，地庫實用面積約1500呎，各以1000萬及1700萬易手，平均呎價5000元及11333元，合共2700萬，原業主於1984年5月以85萬購入地鋪，以及於1987年3月以115萬購入地庫，合共200萬，持貨逾38年，帳面獲利2500萬，物業升值12.5倍。

80年代以200萬購入

國光書局於80年代中開業，由於鋪位面積大，售價文具及書籍包括教科本及參考書，貨品非常齊全，除了港大外，區內屹立很多名校，很多學生及老師都是國光的老顧客，由於自用鋪位，不用交租，加上生意穩定，該書局經營至今已接近40年，成為區內名店。

盛滙商舖基金創辦人李根興表示，該鋪位門闊約30呎，深約50呎，擁有三大優點，自用幾十年的鋪位，以往從未放售，鋪位必定「風水」好，面積偌大，「大大件」，以呎價計算，每呎數千元，抵買，國松樓樓齡47年，樓高只有6層，具收購重建潛力。

李耀華1800萬購寶盈地鋪

不過，他又說，該鋪位處斜路，吊腳，該處車多人少，相信不容易找到租客，最好還是等收購。

投資者李耀華購入將軍澳唐俊街11號寶盈花園地下S06號鋪，建築面積約313方呎，作價1800萬，平均呎價5.75萬，月租5萬，租客「手作功夫茶」，現時並以2480萬放售。

資深投資者羅守輝早前以7500萬，沽柴灣環翠道121號柴灣戲院大廈地下部分鋪位及1樓，買家為投資者雷志達，建築面積約11535方呎，呎價約6502元，現租客連鎖健身中心、涼茶鋪及電子遊戲機中心，月租約35.68萬，回報約5.7厘。

外資代理行代理：商舖呎價 年內可升兩成

大額投資市場交投淡靜，有外資代理行代理認為，息口高企成投資市場最大阻力，認為資金充裕的本地買家，將成今年主力。範疇上，該代理認為通關後商舖直接受惠，呎價年內可升兩成。

據該行資料顯示，今年首4個月合共錄得72宗大額成交 (逾5,000萬元以上)，涉及金額約136.35億元，對比去年同期84宗及161億元，跌約15%。若把兩段時間比較，去年同期為疫情高峰期，相反今年首4個月，是中港正式通關，經濟復常，但成交金額及宗數均比去年失色。

「不加息 也不等於會減」

該代理指出，息口為投資市場最關鍵因素，自去年中起美國加息，年尾利率升至5厘水平，而今年息口走勢亦反覆而處偏高水平，「首先，外資基金對息口非常敏感，因涉及回報率，現時基金目標物業回報率要6厘以上，市場上實在不多。此外，銀行對無租金收入的物業，批借貸時更保守。至於本地投資者，可能有個人擔保，利息開支或便宜一點，但亦要4.5厘以上。息口偏高，是市況淡靜最主要原因」。論到息口走勢，代理謂美國息口或見頂，不加息也不等於會減，息口年內會繼續維持高位，故對大額物業投資造成影響。

資金方面，通關後內地資金來港買物業的個案有上升，惟為數不多。代理分析，內地資金管制多，需要時間才可籌集資金，加上內地疫後經濟復甦需時，令內資出手上不算進取。

下半年走勢上，該代理認為各方面因素會有改善，「第四季息口料穩定，而資金料會因內地經濟復甦明顯，增加來港買物業」。代理認為，樓市一些基本因素仍理想，「香港資金仍非常充裕，例如大型發展商，持有現金達數百億元。現階段本地投資者只是觀望，並非睇淡後市，料下半年為投資市場主力買家」。

啟德屯門多住宅 舖位受惠

各項物業範上，代理指通關後旅客重返，商舖直接受惠，而該行數字顯示，今年舖價較去年同期跌7.6%。代理解釋，因今年不少成交來自銀主盤，或業主大幅降價放盤，令成交量增而價格跌，待平盤陸續消化，加上舖位租務改善而租金升，料下半年商舖價料升15至20%，「通關後餐飲及零售一定有需求、2014年屬舖價高峰，現價僅為當年約4成，仍有上升空間」。除了核心區外，代理認為民生區，如啟德，屯門等住宅多，舖位同樣看好。

去年工廈買賣佔大額買賣一半，今年暫跌至不足兩成，「早兩年基金掃工廈，因回報率高，可是現在利息更高」。基本因素上，代理認為工廈出租率高，加上市場乏供應，價格只要稍下調便有承接力。相比之下，寫字樓投資角度上較差，只有用家入市，「通關後是有改善，但始終商廈供應多，租金跌定卻難反彈，投資上比較乏味」。

財團續物色酒店 投資前景不俗

通關後酒店入住率改善，有外資代理行代理認為，不少財團正物色酒店，投資前景不錯。

旅客重返，既帶旺消費，亦令酒店入住大為改善。該代理指，該行早前接獲內房世茂集團委託，標售東涌世茂喜來登酒店，及福朋喜來登酒店，涉逾1,200間客房，將於下月初截標，物業市值約65億元。代理表示，初步反應不錯，接獲基金、本地投資者查詢及視察，「通關後酒店房價周末達1,800元，相當不俗，值得一提，商舖部分有不少餐飲，附近有映灣園等住宅，故投資價值高，而市場極少有5星級酒店放售」。

可轉長租公寓共居宿舍

該代理指，通關後睇好酒店前景，認為更可轉作長租公寓、共居、學生宿舍等，具投資價值。

大額買賣減少，或多或少因內地資金降，早年很多民企老闆來港買商廈，推高成交，惟現時情況有變，不少因財政問題，物業淪為銀主盤。代理指，促成大額銀主物業成交不易，「大碼涉及借貸高，甚至超出物業價值，買家出價亦不會太進取，銀主未必願意出售」。

該代理看好樂齡房屋前景，「長者居所是必需品，而香港近乎全世界最長壽地區，有質素的長者居所需求大，故可以向這方面多加研究，協肋投資者尋找物業進行改裝」。

核心區鋪市暫未重返疫情前 外資代理行代理：零售「生態」大轉型

港經歷3年疫市，儘管通關後帶來利好因素，惟內地客消費模式改變，大型租戶缺乏擴張意欲，零售「生態」大轉型，核心區鋪市暫未能夠重返疫情前，租金難「V形」反彈。

有外資代理行代理表示，兩地通關後，市場減少不確定因素，惟後市如何走下去，仍然有待觀察，比較一年前，外圍環境改變了，利息增加2至3厘，部分內地企業遭遇困難，亦有本地投資者大手沽貨，前景存在不明朗因素。

內地客「深度遊」取代購物

現時內地客消費模式，跟從前有很大轉變，他們來港打卡「深度遊」，感受氣氛，鍾情具特色、大眾化餐飲，例如天后清湯腩，貴價的廚師「發辦」生意大跌，直接影響高級食肆擴張，從而影響鋪位租金。

下半年市況視乎暑假表現

疫情之前，銅鑼灣崇光百貨每逢「感謝祭」，人山人海，水泄不通，內地客還將「一版版」化妝品，帶到駱克道門外裝箱，此光景不再，過往「感謝祭」僅一個星期，現時長達一個月。

過去在核心區售賣名牌水貨店鋪，紛在疫情期間結業，一雞死一雞鳴，現時有內地來港新開名牌水貨店，惟規模未及從前。今年五一黃金周，沒有預期「火爆」，來港旅客62萬，離港外遊的市民高達90多萬，這是內地疫情後第一次有5天長假期，不少內地客均在國內旅遊，來港的只佔小部分。

今年初，該代理預期，本港4個核心區鋪租升幅3%至8%，至於下半年，就要視乎暑假情況。事實上，過去數月以來，只有藥妝店擴張開鋪，奢侈品則只選擇大型商場，廣東道只選擇接近海港城，「散業主」地段、即過了海防道一段，吉鋪仍然多，空置率高逾10%。

廣東道「散業主」段吉鋪多

奢侈品注重形象，期望在名店聚集地方落位，不希望毗售賣藥妝等產品，吉鋪眾多街道，看不清布局，亦令他們猶豫。現時，歐洲奢侈品，品牌化妝品皆缺乏擴張意欲，個別開設旗艦店的，只選址最核心地段，租金不貴，而且只此一家。大型國貨公司生意則好轉，通關後，港人購買藥物送內地親友。

Flat prices tumble over 12 months

Many home owners in Hong Kong have only been able to sell their properties by slashing expected asking prices aggressively.

That appears to be the message coming through with values in Taikoo Shing and City One Shatin falling by more than 10 percent within 12 months.

A two-bedroom unit of approximately 572 square feet in Taikoo Shing sold recently for HK$10.5 million.

But a similar apartment in the estate sold for HK$12.1 million in June of last year. That represents a decline of around HK$1.63 million, or 13.4 percent, in less than 12 months.

In City One Shatin, a two-bedroom unit of 304 sq ft was sold recently for HK$5.2 million, reflecting a price decrease of HK$600,000, or 10.3 percent, compared to the asking price a year ago.

And a 382-sq-ft flat on Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok was listed at a price of HK$2.3 million, equating to a rate of HK$6,021 per sq ft.

A property agency reported five transactions in the 10 major housing estates it tracks over the weekend.

That was two more transactions than the previous week, although the level of activity remains relatively low.

In the primary market, Wheelock Properties's Koko Mare in Lam Tin is set to commence the sale of 98 flats, including five special units, on Wednesday, with the lowest-priced unit starting at HK$5.88 million.

In Fan Ling, Henderson Land (0012) is launching 39 special flats in One Innovale - Cabanna for sale by tender starting today. Interested buyers can participate in the tender until June 30.

事實上，最近不少外資機構於中環進行擴充，如友邦金融中心約2萬平方呎樓面，獲美資金融機構BGC Partners租用，呎租約110元。至於威士忌品牌麥卡倫，亦租用金鐘太古廣場全層樓面。

3中資巨企租中環超甲廈

本港經濟逐漸恢復正常，寫字樓市場氣氛有所改善，租賃查詢和交易量增加。當中，中資巨企承租中環核心區寫字樓步伐加快，據《金融時報》指出，年內已有最少3間大型內地企業租用中環主要超甲級商廈，合共租用逾3.8萬方呎樓面。

《金融時報》引述消息報道，短視頻平台TikTok母公司字節跳動 (ByteDance)、中石油 (00857) 母企中石油集團旗下附屬公司，及聯合能源 (00467) 相繼進駐中環超甲級商廈。

當中，大型中資科技企業字節跳動取代瑞士私人銀行寶盛集團 (Julius Baer Group Ltd) 租用中環國際金融中心一期37樓全層，租用面積約16158方呎，料月租約194萬元，呎租約120元，租期由今年11月起承租3年。

中石油集團旗下附屬公司租用中環友邦金融中心28樓全層，租用面積約13553方呎，月租料逾135萬元，呎租100元。聯合能源則預租今年底落成的中環夏慤道10號的和記大廈重建項目長江集團中心二期高層半層樓面，涉及樓面約8500方呎。

涉3.8萬呎樓面 達去歲86%

上述3間內地企業，已承租逾3.8萬方呎中環超甲級商廈樓面。有外資代理行資料顯示，去年全年內地企業只承租約4.4萬方呎中環甲廈樓面，即該3間內地企業租用的面積，已達去年承租樓面總數逾86%。

消息人士又指中國工商銀行 (01398) 有意尋找新辦公室，曾研究租用長江集團中心二期或恒地 (00012) 旗下中環全新超甲廈 The Henderson。

機構紛擴充升級 中區租務增

通關後甲廈租務稍有改善，而近期中區租務亦增加，在租金調整下，外資及中資機構紛進行擴充及升級。

近日整體甲廈租務稍增，當中以核心區租務較理想。市場消息指，中環友邦金融中心錄得租務，涉及物業高層1室，面積約1萬平方呎，以及同廈中層06至09室，面積約9,300平方呎，兩單位合共近2萬平方呎，以每呎約110元租出。由於該廈屬中環超甲廈，租金屬市價水平。

新租客為美資金融機構BGC Partners，該集團業務包括各類金融產品，如股票、商品、衍生產品等，而該企業目前租用中環國際金融中心二期64樓單位，面積約1.3萬平方呎，估計市值呎租逾120元。是次機構搬遷，主要進行擴充業務。

中環冠君大廈 呎租約90元

另外，同區續錄外資擴充，中環花園道3號冠君大廈錄得成交，涉及物業27樓全層，面積約33,528平方呎，以每呎約90元租出，每月租金約302萬元，屬市價水平。新租客為該廈大租戶花旗銀行，該金融機構一直租用物業多層，早年物業更名為花旗銀行廣場。據悉，花旗銀行現租用物業8層樓面，料涉逾20萬平方呎，現再因應市況增加樓面。

除了同區擴充外，核心區租金回調後，吸引機構遷入，甚至九龍區商戶趁機升級。金鐘太古廣場二座中層全層，面積約2萬平方呎，以每呎約100元租出。消息稱，新租客為知名威士忌品牌麥卡倫 (The Macallan)，其威士忌深受愛好者追捧，個別年份出品亦成收藏家至愛。該英國企業目前租用九龍灣國際交易中心中層單位，面積約1.2萬平方呎，市值呎租約20餘元。如今遷入金鐘地標甲廈太古廣場，既作出擴充，亦為辦公室升級，相信正因核心區呎租已回調2成以上，故趁機進駐，屬以往較少九龍區商戶升級至中環核心商廈個案。

租金明顯調整 企業入駐甲廈

至於全新落成大廈方面，中環長江集團中心二期，近日錄首宗租務，涉及物業為高層半層，面積逾8,000平方呎，成交呎租約120元，租戶為內地聯合能源集團，主要業務為上游石油天然氣勘探開發及生產運營等，原租金鐘太古廣場二座單位，如今搬遷既有擴充，亦可升級至中環全新超甲廈。

分析指，受疫情衝擊，過去3年商務活動放緩，甲廈租務淡靜，而租金亦顯然調整。如今本港疫後復常，商務往來增加，企業亦開始重展擴充活動。核心區過往租金高企，空置率亦低，擴充成本較高，如今租金已調整逾3成，加上多區有新供應，業主叫價不會太進取，令企業感興趣，趁租金較低，進行搬遷、擴充及升級等活動。

統一中心近金鐘站 合中小企進駐

統一中心為金鐘區內指標甲廈之一，自從港島東鐵綫過海段通車後，金鐘成為多條綫路核心，而物業正對金鐘站出口，極為方便。

統一中心坐落於金鐘商業地段，佔盡地利優勢，交通四通八達，本身處於港鐵金鐘交滙站上蓋，而東鐵綫過海段去年通車，金鐘成為東鐵綫以及南港島綫總站，前往各區也極為方便，而金鐘站因應兩條新綫路，特意開設新出口，而統一中心正位於出口對面。

此外，大廈地下亦有巴士總站，屬區內交通樞紐地帶，另約5分鐘路程可到電車站，交通極方便。另大廈設有停車場，提供大量月租時租停車位。同時，停車場全層採用通風式設計，車場空氣流通且環境理想。停車場亦設有電梯直達統一中心2樓大堂連接金鐘廊，貫通多幢指標商廈，方便駕車人士。

大廈設有多條天橋連接大型商場及商廈，例如太古廣場、海富中心、美國銀行中心、遠東金融中心及東昌大廈等甲級商業大廈，天橋網絡更延伸至高等法院、政府合署及太古廣場，四通八達。

飲食配套方面，物業基座為商場，有大酒樓及快餐店，上班族可步行至附近海富中心及太古廣場一帶，有多間連鎖品牌食肆、快餐店、酒樓、美食廣場可供選擇，也可到附近灣仔區晏頓街、駱克道等設有不同特色小店，食肆林立。

樓高36層 設高低樓層升降機

物業樓高36層，寫字樓大堂位於2樓，設高低樓層升降機，備有15部電梯及1部專用載貨電梯，讓繁忙時段可分流，方便客人上落。大廈每層面積約20,489平方呎，以一梯多伙為設計，樓層設獨立廁所。

此外，大廈商場位於物業1至2樓，而現時租客包括零售、銀行、運輸駕駛及保險等，3樓為運輸署香港牌照事務處，樓上有共享工作空間theDesk、香港大學專業進修學院；而前往8樓至35樓寫字樓需於2樓乘搭升降機。

景觀上，大廈部分單位享海景景觀，望向政府總部、中信大廈及香港會議展覽中心，整體大部分單位景觀相當開揚，中層以上向海戶可享廣闊海景，園景單位可眺望夏愨花園。由於間隔方正實用，適合中小型企業使用，吸引不同種類的租客進駐，包括德國、印度和菲律賓駐港總領事館所在地等。

買賣方面，由於不少業主為用家，一直買賣不算旺，今年大廈錄一宗成交，單位為601室，以4,800萬元成交。據悉，單位面積約2,300平方呎，呎價約2.08萬元，買家為香港大學，而香港大學專業進修學院亦設於該廈。

港大早在2003年曾以約6,104萬元向聘珍樓購入統一中心6樓02A及02B室，面積約29,110平方呎，當時呎價僅約2,100元水平。

Home prices edge up to seven-month high

Hong Kong private home prices rose by 0.54 percent in April, reaching a new high in seven months, but it is anticipated that home prices will remain unchanged this month due to the recent interest rate hike.

That was the fourth consecutive month of increases, but the pace was around 1 percentage point slower than in March, according to the data from the Rating and Valuation Department.

In April, the private domestic price index for small and medium-sized units below 1,076 square feet increased by 0.51 percent month-on-month to 355.6 points. Also, the price index for larger units - 1,076 sq ft or above - rose by 1.26 percent to 313.8 points.

Class D units of 753 to 1,076 sq ft experienced the highest increase, with a rise of 1.42 percent compared to the previous month, reaching a price index of 314.6 points.

On the other hand, Class C units of 753 to 1,076 sq ft reported a price index of 323.3 points, reflecting a slight monthly increase of approximately 0.09 percent.

A property agency predicts that home prices will stabilize in May, with a projected monthly increase of 0.2 percent or remain unchanged compared to the previous month.

This expectation is based on the prevailing optimism among homeowners regarding future market conditions, so homeowners are expected to avoid significant price reductions in the near term.

Additionally, the government's expansion of the Talent List, aimed at attracting skilled workers, is expected to stimulate the property market by the end of the second quarter.

As a result, there is a projection of a 0.8 percent increase in home prices in June, which would bring the cumulative increase for the first half of the year to 6.88 percent.

On the contrary, another agency has revised its annual prediction for small and medium-sized residential property prices, now forecasting a year-on-year increase ranging from 2 to 6 percent.

This is a revision from their previous prediction at the end of March, where they had anticipated an annual property price increase of up to about 8 percent.

Meanwhile, OCBC Wing Hang Bank announced a hike in its Hong Kong dollar prime loan rate yesterday. The rate will increase from 6.125 percent to 6.25 percent per annum, and the change will take effect from May 30, 2023.

Hong Kong home price growth slowed down sharply in April as rising interest rates sapped confidence

Prices of lived-in homes in Hong Kong grew by 0.5 per cent in April, the least so far this year, as homebuyers weighed higher interest rates

Residential transactions declined 31.5 per cent month on month in April to 4,583, according to Land Registry

Prices of Hong Kong’s lived-in homes nearly stalled in April, indicating that gains may be coming to an end as homebuyers grapple with higher interest rates.

The overall home price index rose 0.5 per cent month on month to 354.2 in April, the least since prices bottomed out in December, according to data from the Rating and Valuation Department. While property prices have risen 5.8 per cent so far this year, on an annual basis they were still down 8 per cent.

Prices of small flats rose 0.5 per cent, while those of large flats measuring 100 square metres or more gained 1.3 per cent.

“Our forecast for home price growth this year is between 2 and 6 per cent, so this means that the upper band of the range has been met,” a property agent said, adding that prices for the rest of the year were likely to remain flat or see a marginal reduction.

The slowdown in the secondary property market was mainly due to three reasons – aggressive pricing schemes of developers who are looking to move rising inventories, higher interest rates and the sluggish performance of the Hong Kong stock market, analysts said.

This year, 119 new private housing projects with 40,291 units could be launched, according to a property agency. Most new units that have been put on the market so far this year had a price tag of less than HK$11 million (US$1.4 million), with the cheapest at a little over HK$3 million.

Higher interest rates have also weighed on the market, according to Lee. The Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, or Hibor, has stayed at elevated levels in recent weeks, leading to higher borrowing costs for individuals and companies. It crossed the 4 per cent level on May 1 and rose as high as 4.71 per cent on May 22.

The performance of the Hang Seng Index has also not inspired confidence among homebuyers, with the bellwether gauge losing about 10 per cent since mid-April. Property prices in the city typically mirror the movement of the stock market, albeit with a lag of several months.

The latest data shows that minor corrections in property prices are likely to take place, according to a surveyor.

“It reveals that the market has already bottomed out, but there may still be some minor corrections in prices throughout the year, as the interest rate hikes may continue,” the surveyor said.

There were fewer residential transactions in April, which declined 31.5 per cent month on month to 4,583, according to data from the Land Registry. Sales in the primary and secondary markets fell 13.3 per cent and 38.1 per cent month on month, respectively.

Bank holidays in April may have impacted the number of transactions, according to the latest study by another property agency.

“The slowdown in home sales was due to the large amount of outbound travel by Hong Kong residents over the long Easter and Ching Ming holidays,” the agency said.

尖沙咀重建加快 助恒地拓商業王國

近年尖沙咀舊區重建加快，釋放不少商業樓面供應，區內至少9個重建項目，合共提供約112萬平方呎樓面，當中樓齡近60年的香檳大廈由恒地 (00012) 收購重建，將進一步擴大區內商業王國版圖。

尖沙咀屬於傳統商業區，區內新增的商業用地供應比較罕有，發展商惟有透過收購舊樓重建補充土地儲備，據統計，區內至少9個重建項目正在進行，涉及約112萬平方呎樓面，有8個屬於舊樓收購重建而來。

香檳大廈B座改建 增14萬呎樓面

當中在上世紀60年代落成的香檳大廈，曾經是九龍區最高物業，分為A及B座，正由恒地展開收購，當中以B座收購比較順利，已經達至逾8成業權，並在2年前申請進行強拍統一業權，若果獨立展開重建，單計B座地盤面積約1.23萬平方呎，規劃為商業用途，可建商業樓面約14.74萬平方呎。

由於現時恒地及系內公司正持有香檳大廈旁邊的美麗華廣場及美麗華酒店，隨着香檳大廈的重建，將有望擴大原有超過200萬平方呎樓面的商業王國規模。

亞士厘道地盤 料第2季入伙預租中

在漢口道、亞士厘道亦有不少中小型的重建地盤，當中原本由資本策略 (00497)  收購的亞士厘道重建地盤，在2年前以約17.6億元轉售予建灝地產，目前正興建21層高商廈，總樓面約10萬平方呎，每層樓面約5,500平方呎，預計將於今年第2季入伙，現正進行預租。

另外在鄰近海防道的漢口道一帶，新世界 (00017) 或相關人士早在2016年已經開始收購漢口道43至49A號漢口大廈，現為1幢樓高11層商住大廈，地盤面積約11,565平方呎，規劃為商業用途，地積比率為12倍，重建樓面約13.9萬平方呎。

至於佔據尖沙咀黃金地段的海員俱樂部，近年決定跟帝國集團合作，將重建成1座40層高酒店，項目總樓面約34.7萬平方呎，包括5萬平方呎樓面需留予海員俱樂部作教堂及會所，而發展商營運的酒店樓面則約30萬平方呎，屬於區內近年規模最大的商業項目。

東瀛遊廣場全層 意向價1.06億

有代理行表示，有業主出售觀塘東瀛遊廣場27樓全層，該層樓面面積約11997方呎，意向價約1.06億元，呎價約8900元；該單位將以交吉形式出售，每月租金叫價約19.2萬元，呎租約16元。項目為三面單邊，景觀開揚，可遠眺鯉魚門海景，單位內配備有基本寫字樓裝修及間格，可為買家或租戶節省裝修費。

東瀛遊廣場業主大多惜貨，去年僅錄得1宗高層戶成交，涉及面積約3532方呎，成交價約3362.4萬元，呎價約9520元，反映該廈放售盤源緊絀；而最近的同類型全層樓面成交則要追溯至2020年10月，當時售出之樓層為35樓，涉及面積約10875方呎，成交價約9787.5萬元，呎價約9000元，故今番叫價相當貼市。

該行指出，觀塘區內租金走勢亦漸入佳境，平均呎租由去年第4季約23元上升至本年首季約25元。隨着觀塘區商貿區發展完善，商業氣氛愈趨濃厚，東瀛遊廣場的呎租及呎價料將持續上升，中長線投資者會趁早吸納區内優質商廈項目，預料今次東瀛遊廣場高層全層推售反應理想。
