蛋糕店月租18万进驻海防道
核心零售区地铺空置率高企,业主亦接受现实大幅减租。位处尖沙咀海防道及汉口道交界的单边铺位,过去一年接连只获租客短租,最新终获商户长租,由蛋糕店以每月18万元承租,租金较之前一份长约租金锐减七成。
原卓悦旧铺 跌价七成
属于尖沙咀一线地段的海防道,年内已有不少铺位空置,原由本地化妆品连锁店卓悦 (00653) 租用的海防道45号地下,建筑面积约818方呎,卓悦原租约月租60万元,本已于去年9月到期,但因未有新租户承租,卓悦遂以每月30万元短租至今年3月,继续在原址经营。但今年初新冠肺炎疫情爆发,零售进一步跌入谷底,卓悦在3月后未有再租用。在丢空约一个月后,铺位获出售餐具碗碟的「缸瓦佬」短租,月租较卓悦短租价下降56.7%,至13万元,租约至本月底届满。
据了解,铺位今年初开始以每月35万元放长租,在短租期内亦未有降价,随着短租客租期临近届满,而本地零售业未见起色,业主亦扩阔议租空间,近期终以每月18万元租出,呎租约220元,新租户为蛋糕店,虽然租金较「缸瓦佬」短租价回升5万元或38.5%,却比卓悦原先长租约60万元低70%。事实上,卓悦自2011年10月起承租上址,2014年月租最高曾达120万元,最新租金与6年前相比,跌幅更达85%。
中达大厦地铺短租20.8万
同一地段海防道38至40号中达大厦地下A及B铺,建筑面积约2100方呎,去年11月起丢空,至今年1月初即疫情开始前,获时装店以每月30万元短租逾半年,已在近月迁出。据悉,铺位刚由口罩专门店短租两个月,虽然都属短租个案,但月租较9个月前下跌30.7%,至最新仅20.8万元,呎租约99元。此铺原由金行粤港澳湛周生生承租,在2017年底续租时月租130万元,如今租金蒸发84%。

中环万邦行地铺 面包店35万承租
疫情下租金回调 较高峰期跌7成
疫情下中环铺位租金大幅回调,渐见民生商户承接。皇后大道中万邦行地下一铺位,获面包店以约35万元租用,铺位对上租客为錶行,月租约70万元,租金跌逾半,较高峰期更低7成。
市场消息指,中环万邦行地下录得一宗新租务成交,涉及铺位面积约1,540平方呎,以每月约35万元租出,呎租约227元。该铺位于中环皇后大道中核心地段,对面为娱乐行并邻近港铁站出口。据了解,新租客为本地饮食集团,将开设面包店,由于铺位面积较大,预计除了售卖面包外,亦会推出蛋糕、特色小食等。
翻查资料,该铺因位处核心旺段,在零售高峰期时以高价租出。物业早年曾获中药店北京同仁堂租用,2011年品牌在约满前为保据点,加租5成至约120万元,呎租达779元。
数年前北京同仁堂弃租后,铺位获鐘錶店以约70万元租用,今年该錶店亦迁出,铺位交吉多月后,获面包店租用。以最新约35万元月租计,较对上租金跌约5成,若与高峰相比,新租金平7成。
中环空置率 升至16.9%
据代理资料显示,疫情下中环、铜锣湾、尖沙咀及旺角4大核心区,第三季商铺空置率上升;而中环空置率由第二季12.7%,升至第三季16.9%。目前该区商铺呎租约395元,今年累跌40.8%。事实上,皇后大道中目前尚有不少吉铺待租,包括邻近万邦行的华人行,地下两大铺位原由Swatch旗下品牌租用,数月前突迁出,现业主仍在放租。
近期整体租务活动略好转,核心区主要地段录得商铺租务成交,亦因铺租大幅回调,最近渐见民生商户重返核心区。
以铜锣湾为例,希慎广场对出的啟超道及恩平道先后录新租务。其中恩平道50号地下,面积700平方呎,获便利店以约25万元租用。铺位原由莎莎化粧品租用,月租约65万元,去年品牌迁出,仅由手机配件店以10万元短租。按是次便利店25万元租金计,跌逾6成。

北角3重建项目 新增楼面逾140万呎
属于传统住宅区的北角区,近年有不少收购重建,当中获新世界发展 (00017) 完成收购的前皇都戏院大厦,有望展开保育及重建方案,若作商业发展,最多可提供逾54万平方呎楼面。
皇都戏院大厦 保留文艺特色
现时属于一级历史建筑的前皇都戏院大厦,位于英皇道271至291号,由皇都戏院、住宅大厦及商场所组成,新世界日前成功以约47.76亿元透过强制拍卖统一业权,创历来最贵的旧楼强拍。由于前皇都戏院颇具建筑特色,并且属于一级历史建筑,发展商计划保留整个戏院建筑及天台桁架,重塑戏院部分成为文化艺术表演场所,而比邻的住宅大厦则有望展开重建。
该物业面积约3.62万平方呎,规划用途为「商业/住宅」,再加上属于「旧契」地皮,发展商可以弹性重建成为商厦或者住宅。若作住宅发展,地积比率最高10倍,可建楼面约36.2万平方呎。至于作为商业发展,项目的地积比率更会多达15倍,可建楼面逾54万平方呎。由于发展商计划保留前皇都戏院的部分,预计会影响可以重建地盘的范围。
恒隆地产 (00101) 等亦正在重建电气道226至240号旧楼地盘,项目佔地约7,000平方呎,将重建成1幢商业及办公大楼,总楼面约10.5万平方呎,项目预算总投资额约25.6亿元,以此计算,投资额每平方呎约2.4万元。
据资料显示,电气道226至240号属于8幢相连的旧楼,在多年前已经开始获财团收购,包括电气道230号全幢于2013年2月以约1亿元易手;至于电气道238至240号以每伙约860万至约1,817万元不等作收购。
水务署大楼 港岛东最大型商业地
另外,位于英皇道611号的北角水务署大楼,政府将北角水务署大楼连同湾仔的水务署总部,以及惩教署总部一併迁入柴湾区盛泰道作重置,预计将于2020年动工,2024年可落成,而水务署大楼用地可释放作商业发展。而该地现时已改划为商业用途,佔地约5.06万平方呎,估计可重建楼面约75.9万平方呎,将为港岛东区罕有的大型商业地供应。
而上述三个重建项目预计可望提供最多140.7万平方呎的楼面供应,有望加快旧区的蜕变及转型。

Hong Kong’s mid-sized developers seek to create markets in unlikely niches to survive city’s worst economic slump on record
Far East Consortium Limited, the biggest operator of three-star hotels in Hong Kong, launched 4,500 safe deposit boxes at the basement of its Silka Far East Hotel in Tsuen Wan
Kowloon Development, a developer of tiny flats in Hong Kong, recently diversified into mass retailing
Hong Kong’s real estate developers, particularly mid-sized companies that rely on a narrow segment for their sales, are diversifying their product offerings to find potential revenue in new market niches to help them survive the city’s worst recession on record.
Some of them are developing data centres, while others are expanding into industrial facilities and self-storage warehouses, said Maggie Hu, an associate professor of finance and real estate at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Mid-sized developers are particularly vulnerable to the adverse impact of the business downturn in Hong Kong, giving them a bigger incentive than large, cash-rich companies in adapting to changing needs of the market.
“(They) are often much less diversified in their assets and types of income streams, [so] diversification is more important and imperative for them to navigate through the crisis,” Hu said. “Different types of real estate assets are affected by the pandemic in different ways. Self-storage facilities, industrial facilities and data centres have faced much less declines than malls, lodging, hotel and housing.”
Hotels and shopping centres are bearing the brunt of Hong Kong’s economic slump as the number of tourists in the city began to dwindle last year following the massive street protests that rocked Hong Kong, and further reduced by the Covid-19 pandemic that led to travel restrictions. Falling retail sales caused rental charges to slip, forcing some luxury retailers to shut outlets and drove Russell Street in Causeway Bay off the perch as the world’s most expensive retail strip.
Far East Consortium Limited, the biggest operator of three-star hotels in Hong Kong, is going into the business of providing private vaults for customers to store their valuables. The operator of the Dorsett hotels in Wan Chai and Kwun Tong launched 4,500 safe deposit boxes in a private vault measuring 3,000 square feet (279 square metres) at the basement of its Silka Far East Hotel in Tsuen Wan, converting space that previously hosted a foot massage parlour, and a bank vault.
Kowloon Development, a developer of tiny flats in Hong Kong, recently diversified into mass retailing, with the 2,000-sq ft Soda Mall that features a supermarket and a grocery store for health foods.
“We see great potential in this segment, [because] banks are downsizing their operations” offering safe deposit boxes, said Chris Hoong, managing director of Far East. “Generally you have to wait six to seven years to get a safe-deposit box, depending on the location.”
The customers aimed for by Far East Vault are the residents living close to the hotel in Tsuen Wan, Hoong said, adding that in Hong Kong, the small flats mean little space for valuable items that are hardly used or worn every day.
“We have some space in our hotel in the basement in Silka …, and we decided the best way to utilise the space is to put up a safe-deposit box [business],” Hoong said. “Depends on how this one goes, we need a year to observe, at least a year before making a decision whether to start a new one.”
So far, the company is getting 20 inquiries a day. With the smallest box available for HK$218 (US$28) a month, Far East expects the private vault business to yield an income that is comparable to revenues coming from a small hotel with 100 rooms.
The business model is responding to an unmet demand in the city, property agent said.
“We do see that demand for safe deposit boxes has always been present in Hong Kong, but sadly the supply has never been able to meet the demand,” the agent said. “Given the high security and loading specification requirements, as well as larger space required, specifically basement or ground floor areas, suitable space for private vaults and safety deposit boxes is extremely limited.”
Locations outside Hong Kong’s core business and retail districts are also ideal for a private vault business, agent said.
“Even now, with the rentals having dropped significantly in core districts, it hasn’t reached the point where this business can be sustainable on the high street level,” agent said. “For residential areas, where the rental decline is rather mild, it remains challenging to find a location that fits the technical requirements and caters to local demand.”
