新世界放售觀塘商廈 全幢市值約30億元
發展商推盤減慢，為保持收益，於市場推售非核心物業。新世界 (00017) 暗盤放售觀塘KOHO全幢，屬活化商廈項目，市值約30億元，該集團早前亦放售上環中遠大廈舖位，兩物業市值合共約40億元。
屬活化項目 總樓面16萬呎
市場消息指，新世界暗盤放售觀塘鴻圖道KOHO全幢商廈，物業樓高12層，1至3樓每層面積約2.45萬平方呎，4至12樓每層面積約1.65萬平方呎，大廈總樓面逾16萬平方呎。項目前身為工廈，上手業主為物業進行活化及改裝，外觀上與甲廈無異，質素理想。
據了解，目前大廈出租情況理想，包括去年騰訊 (00700) 首個海外眾創空間進駐KOHO，推動文化創意。
據悉，業主以約30億元於市場放售，按總樓面約16萬平方呎計，呎價約18,750元。翻查資料，該項目原為建大工業大廈，鵬里資產於2013年以約10億元購入並改裝，及後於2014年以16億沽予新世界。
上環中遠大廈4層 叫價9億
疫情下發展商減慢推盤步伐，故同時放售非核心物業，以保持收益。
新世界早前放售上環中遠大廈商舖，涉及物業地下至3樓，合共4層，每層面積由3,590至11,608平方呎不等，合共約27,808平方呎，以及19個車位，叫價約9億元。
其他發展商亦有推售非核心物業，如日前嘉里(00683)沽出荃灣國瑞路縉庭山商舖，涉及物業地下及低層地下，面積約1萬平方呎，以約3,600萬元成交，呎價約3,600元，舖位以交吉交易。
