波斯富街铺长约租6.5万十年低 零售业备战圣诞 铜锣湾空置率首降
铜锣湾过往贵为核心旅游消费区，随着新冠肺炎疫情大爆发，本港封关后旅客锐减，业主须大幅劈租吸客。区内波斯富街61号地下，最新以每月6.5万元租出，租期达两年，属超过10年来该街道月租最低的长租地铺成交。由于铺租明显回落，刺激租赁交投增加，铜锣湾商铺空置率在11月回落至11.65%，属今年以来首次出现按月下跌情况。
业主劈八成 体育用品店承接
代理表示，临近年底租务旺季来临，部分零售品牌趁租金回落进驻主要零售区。波斯富街61号地下，建筑面积约850方呎，获体育用品店以月租约6.5万元租用，呎租约76.5元，是次租期为两年。业主愿以超笋价租出该物业，主要因该租客为连锁品牌，故业主在租务优惠条款上作出多方配合。
资料显示，上址旧租客为尊贵鐘錶珠宝，2011年起租用，更连同毗邻由该鐘錶品牌自用的波斯富街63号地下，打通成为一个建筑面积约1700方呎的大型铺位。该鐘錶品牌前月租约35万元，今年初租约期满放弃续租，连自用铺位亦同步结业。是次波斯富街61号地下重新租出，租金大跌81.4%，业主每月少收28.5万元，以两年租期计共涉及684万元。
据土地註册处资料，波斯富街61号地下由已故「工厦大王」杨耀松于1954年以6万元购入，近年转由其长子杨国佳拥有。由于地铺早年以低价购入，多年来的租金收入早已抵消铺价，因此接受平租铺位。不过，资料显示，此铺在2003年9月沙士后曾以每月12万元租出，即现时甚至较17年前的租金还要低近一半。
据了解，波斯富街现时共有18个铺位空置待租，空置率达29%，街内不少地铺的放租叫价已跌至每月10万至15万元，故月租低于10万元的成交料陆续有来。今年以来，铜锣湾的主要零售街道已有数宗月租低过10万元的长租租赁成交，主要围绕波斯富街及利园山道以往因自由行扯高租金的街道。
圣诞及新年档期来临，零售行业积极备战，铺位租务成交增加，令多个核心区铺位空置率升幅有所放缓。
代理指出，11月商铺租赁成交宗数达505宗，较10月高出13%，是继今年5月后再次突破500宗，创今年单月第二高。
四大核心区11月租赁改善
四大核心消费区铺位空置率有好转跡象，据代理统计，11月商铺空置率有上升的区域为中环及尖沙咀。当中以尖沙咀录得最高升幅，由10月约16.99%升至11月约17.15%。中环铺位空置率最高，11月数字为20.66%，按月增加0.05个百分点，增幅有明显收窄跡象。旺角铺位空置率约12.33%，维持10月水平。至于铜锣湾铺位空置率由10月约11.74%降至11月约11.65%，跌幅0.09个百分点，为今年以来首见回落。
代理分析，踏入12月，第四波疫情肆虐，政府收紧限聚令，预料市民外出消费意欲随之减退，走势向好的商铺租务市场有机会再度放缓，预料本月各核心区商铺空置率有机会反弹。

工厦炙手可热，投资者纷斥巨资发展，SAGE顾晓楠指出，集团于本港首个项目99COMMONS入场约8000多元，力吸年轻创科及艺术客源。
入场月租8000元
SAGE智锐物业董事顾晓楠接受本报访问时指出，集团斥逾10亿打造99COMMONS，项目为重建项目，质素远较活化项目为佳，前身为冻仓，发展历时4年，于今年7月竣工，第一期招租已完成，平均呎租约20元，当中特色单位悉数租出，附设独立天台，呎租仅约25元，虽然疫情下招租，仍备受追捧。
投资额逾十亿
顾晓楠续指出，上述项目作长綫放租用途，料资金回本期约8年，项目更设共享空间THE SOCIAL，为全港工厦首创，面积逾2000方呎，附设桌球枱及投影机等设施，为租户提供互相交流的「好地方」。

瑞英工厦三层将以1.5亿沽位处土瓜湾每呎造价3000餘元
疫市下大手工厦仍受捧，土瓜湾瑞英工业大厦三全层，涉及总楼面约4.8万方呎，将以1.5亿易手，平均呎价3000餘元，造价重返2013年水平。、
位处土瓜湾旧区的瑞英工业大厦，佔据街道大单边，前临海心公园，向来交投疏落，不过，该厦近期有一篮子工厦罕有放售，旋即惹来财团垂青。
知情人士透露，该厦9、10及11楼三全层，以及2楼E室，总建筑面积约4.8万方呎，佔大厦业权25%，业主意向价2亿，平均呎价4206元，属合理水平，惟疫市下，準买家出价与业主意向距离大，由于业主有心沽货，最终选定1名準买家，双方正就细节洽商中，物业将以约1.5亿易手，平均呎价3000餘元，价格重返2013年水平。
市传买家为建筑商
知情人士续指，买家为一家建筑商，交易已经落实，惟本报尚未确实有关消息。
上述为该厦9至11楼全层，每层建筑面积约14767方呎，以及2楼E室，建筑面积约3239方呎，有代理指，由于该批楼面面积大，佔据业权具有主导性，新买家进可攻退可守，自用或出租，长綫可博收购。
追溯该厦上一宗买卖为2018年中，为7楼A及B室，建筑面积约12688方呎，以7500万易手，平均呎价5911元。
佔大厦业权25%
土地註册处资料显示，上址业主诚佑有限公司，董事朱尚方，股东Group Bright Holdings Limitd，为一家英属处女群岛登记公司。诚佑有限公司于2005年1月以2880万购入上址。
瑞英工厦位处旭日街1号，楼高11层，于1969年落成，该厦附近有单幢住宅港图湾及旭日豪庭等，前身都是旧厂厦，由工厦改划重建而成。
土瓜湾地标景点海心公园邻近，为一个小型工厦区，约十幢工厦于60年代落成，至千禧年左右，部分已重建住宅。仅存的数幢工厦包括瑞英工厦在内，业主博收购心态，故向来成交疏落。

Grade-A industrial building assembles creative professionals to Tuen Mun
Shining amongst the old industrial buildings in Tuen Mun, 99COMMONS, a Grade-A property project presented by SAGE Properties Limited, aspires to become a conspicuous landmark in New Territories West to generate fresh impetus to the cultural and creative industries.
Situated in the heart of Tuen Mun, 99COMMONS is the first new industrial building development in the district in nearly 20 years. It has redefined industrial building specifications, bringing a breakthrough Central Business District (CBD) product to a traditional non-CBD area.
Partnering with a top design team, the building takes inspiration from the nearby Castle Peak and surrounding greenery. With its wall randomly pieced together with distinct green Japanese tiles and metallic, the green building highlights an abstract connection between land and sky.
“It shines under the sunlight, and the outlook varies from different angles and in different times,” says Anna Mae Koo, Director of SAGE Properties Limited. “We want to add some sparkles to the building, as it represents our hope that 99COMMONS can be a gleaming landmark in this industrial area.”
Its name and logo, 99COMMONS, implies the meaning of ‘CO’, to connote the concepts of ‘Collaborate’, ‘Co-create’, and ‘Community’; as well as embodying its five philosophies: create, live, play, sound, and online.
When asked about the purpose of developing the building, Koo points out that the new building is dedicated to benefiting the local community. “We want to make this area better by offering a co-sharing space that brings in young and new blood.”
Differing from cluttered and dilapidated industrial units, the 18-storey green building boasts a total area in excess of 240,000 sq. ft., offering 338 units that range from approximately 450 to 3,200 sq. ft.
“Many commercial and industrial areas in the city, like Hong Kong Island, are filled already,” says Koo. “It’s hard to find a place that can offer tenants such a spacious area at a low price, in addition to an excellent connection to many places.”
Her team has taken references from several industrial buildings and found out that most of the working environments are not ideal.
“We have seen some very strange combinations, like a photo studio situated next to publishing and manufacturing companies. And the noises they created are not able to provide a good working environment.”
99COMMONS offers four different types of units: Studio, Corner Studio, Loft, and Penthouse, all equipped with independent air conditioning. Each type of unit has its special features – most Studio units on 2/F, and Loft units on 19/F are decked with a private podium; Corner Studio units have 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the panoramic views of Castle Peak; as well as Penthouse units with an indoor staircase connecting to a private rooftop.
“We have everything that tenants want. You can rent a small unit at $8,000 with great services, along with a free share area. We also give a rent-free offer to our tenants for the first month,” she adds.
Aimed to create a co-sharing community for nurturing creativity, the building provides a one-of-its-kind shared space area, THE SOCIAL, exclusively for tenants’ use.
With over 2,000 sq. ft., the area offers a wide array of facilities for tenants to connect with and be inspired by one another. Tenants can also book projector facilities, audio-visual systems, and meeting rooms for hosting meetings and small seminars at THE SOCIAL.
Aside from the flexible and cozy working environment, Koo also underscores its strategic location as another huge advantage.
“It enjoys a comprehensive transport network that can connect to the city center, mainland China and overseas, enabling our tenants to capitalize on the vast potential of the Greater Bay Area,” she continues.
With the completion of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link by the end of December, it will take just a short 10-minute drive to the airport. Besides, the building is next to Tuen Mun Ferry Pier, making it only a 10-minute and 40-minute drive to Shenzhen Bay Port and Macau respectively.
Tenants can access different parts of the city with ease. It takes only a 1-minute walk from Kin On and Tsing Wun Light Rail stops, which links the major areas in New Territories West; and around an 8-minute walk from the Tuen Mun Station, reaching the Tsim Sha Tsui East and Hong Kong Stations within 40 minutes.
Spending more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, Koo shares that there are different up and down during the 4-year journey. “Since the location is adjacent to the Light Rail stops, we needed to negotiate with the MTR Corporation, alongside some construction issues, as well as the disruption brought by Covid-19,” she shares, adding that the pandemic somehow manages to bring them opportunities.
Recognizing the changing business landscape under the new normal, she points out that an increasing number of people wish to work within their neighborhood.
SAGE launched four storeys as a first phase, and all units are now fully rented. Its second phase, which has received an overwhelming response to date, is now open for lease at an average rent from HK$20 per sq. ft.
“Most of our tenants are from Tuen Mun, and of course, some also come from neighboring districts,” she says, adding that the current tenants are very diverse, ranging from IT companies to cross-media companies and art workshops.
“I think there are still many rooms for our cultural and creative industries to grow. As a new approach to industrial building, we hope that 99COMMONS can become a landmark to bring more young talents to the district while offering opportunities for them to grow their business.”

Secondary sales up as prices slashed
Secondary deals in 10 major real estates in Hong Kong rose 26 percent to 19 over the weekend, a six-week high, as some property owners slashed prices by up to 5 percent, according to property agent.
In Sheung Shui, a 1,500-sq-ft house in Rigi Avenue sold for HK$19.8 million, or HK$13,000 per sq ft, leaving the owner with a paper loss of more than HK$1.4 million.
In the primary market, Henderson Land Development (0012) launched 17 units in Arbour in Jordan at a minimum price of HK$6.66 million. The price of some units is 2 percent more expensive than the previous batch. The developer sold 30 out of 33 homes released last Friday, pocketing HK$270 million.
Separately, Kaisa Group (1638) and Choice Holdings received around 200 checks for The Concerto in Sham Shui Po. The developers released the first price list last Friday, offering 30 homes at an average price of HK$19,658 per sq ft.
