尖沙嘴铺每呎400元跌49%弥敦道旺段大减租重返九年前水平

市况不景，不少珠宝金行撤出核心街道，内地龙头金行老凤祥却留下来，该行刚续租尖沙嘴弥敦道地铺，每月28万，较旧租金减49%，平均呎租400元，重返九年前水平。

上址为尖沙嘴弥敦道66至70号金冠大厦地下C铺，建筑面积约700方呎，老凤祥于2017年9月进驻，当时签下三年约，月租55万，平均呎租约786元，随着市况不稳，最新租约到期，该行刚以每月28万续租铺位，平均呎租400元，新租较旧租减幅49%。

老凤祥每月28万续租

有代理指出，上述最新租金大约重返2011年水平，在经历反修例运动及疫症后，奢侈品生意大跌，承租力不如过往，可留下来续租的难得。

2015年，老凤祥进军香港，最先承租海防道53至55号海防大厦地下5号铺连阁楼，建筑面积共2000方呎，月租约193万，平均呎租965元，较该铺位旧租125万，提价54.4%，当年经历了佔中及反水货，零售市道转差，提价租铺个案绝无仅有，由于租金过高，老凤祥在2018年年初约满后不续租，是该公司在港首间结业的分店。

区内先后设据点

不过，该行在同区弥敦道连觅新据点，除了金冠大厦外，2018年8月，更租用区内弥敦道80号金鑾大厦地下D至E铺，建筑面积约950方呎，月租35万，呎租约368元，当时，该铺址旧租客周大福，承租铺位达8年，于2016年底已离场，最后一份租约月租为44万。

另外，代理表示，筲箕湾南安街1-7号嘉裕大厦地下A3及A4号铺，面积约400及600方呎，意向价约6000万，可分开出售，每个铺位售价约3000万，呎价约7.5万及5万，现由蔬果及小食店承租，回报均约2.1厘。代理续指，整个商铺市场受疫情影响，交投及租售价均见下跌，但部分商铺价值调整至近年低位，投资价值重新浮现，若市况回復正常，估值亦相信会提升。

阿公岩工业区 转型发展医疗酒店

筲箕湾阿公岩过往属于住宅跟工业区，昔日由于邻近筲箕湾避风塘，所以有不少船隻维修相关行业进驻，但近年养和医院在区内扩充发展医疗中心，亦吸引投资者进驻，将工厦重建成酒店发展。

精雅印刷集团大厦 申放宽地积比

阿公岩工业区位置较为隔涉，获划为「其他指定(商贸)」用途的土地，涉及面积约17.5万平方呎，现有15幢工业大厦，而东喜道、邻近海防博物馆的位置还有部分民居。早年区内有不少船厂，及后陆续有不少传媒或印刷行业进驻区内工厦，但近年该工业区再次转型，特别是养和医院先后购入区内工厦，重建或改装成为医疗中心，亦有投资者将工厦重建成酒店。

当中「铺王」邓成波在去年3月购入的阿公岩村道8号精雅印刷集团大厦，现为7层高工厦，申请放宽地积比率至14.4倍，以发展1幢26层高酒店。拟建酒店项目的1及2楼预计作餐饮及零售用途，其餘以上楼面为酒店房间，预计可建楼面约16.8万平方呎，以提供约726个酒店房间计算，平均每间房间面积约231平方呎，相信这个计划除了是考虑受工厦活化措施带来的额外楼面，亦有部分是希望配合养和兴建的医疗中心，发展医疗旅游。

养和医院斥18亿扩建

事实上，养和医院在多年前先后以合共近18亿元，购入阿公岩村道3号川汇集团大厦，以及阿公岩村道5号东都中心，计划分别重建成医疗中心。当中东都中心是养和在2014年，向老牌发展商怡华益新购入，已经完成全幢改装成养和东区医疗中心李树芳楼，涉及总楼面逾21.6万平方呎，楼高15层，除了提供家庭门诊外，还会提供癌症治疗、磁力共振等设施。

至于川汇集团大厦则会全幢重建成医院，楼高19层连4层地库，总楼面约16万平方呎，提供质子治疗中心、手术室，并设有不少于100张床位，预计2022年建成。

除了医疗及酒店发展外，邻近的阿公岩道明华大厦重建项目，拟分3期重建，共设9幢大楼，包括5幢为公共出租房屋涉2,561伙，1幢涉608伙长者屋，以及3幢资助出售房屋涉750伙，合共3,919伙，项目地下均设有零售地铺，基座则为社福设施，并以公共空间及多形式无障通道连繫起来，总楼面约34.4万平方呎。

Harbour site valuation expected to drop 20pc

The New Central Harbourfront Site 3's valuation is expected to drop between 15 and 20 percent while home prices will fall by 10 percent this year amid the pandemic and rising unemployment, according to a property consultancy firm.

The commercial plot, which has a site area of 516,312 square feet and a floor area of about 1.84 million sq ft, was valued at HK$40 billion by surveyor two months ago. It was expected to go on sale this quarter.

The downward trend continued in both the residential and investment markets in the third quarter as the pandemic and continuing geopolitical uncertainties continued to weigh on sentiment, the consutlant said.

But riding on the improved sentiment in the residential property market recently, some developers are still raising the prices of their new flats.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) released 65 flats in the first price list of Wetland Seasons Park Phase 3 in Tin Shui Wai, at an average HK$12,968 per sq ft after discounts, about 14 percent higher than the first price list of Phase 2.

The cheapest unit, at 316-sq-ft, was offered at HK$4.13 million, or HK$13,079 per sq ft. SHKP will open show flats of the project tomorrow and expects to launch sale next week.

In Sai Ying Pun, Henderson Land Development (0012) released the sales brochure of Two.ArtLane, providing 264 units.

In the commercial property market, Biel Crystal Manufactory has applied to redevelop Good Year Industrial Building in Kwun Tong into an industrial building of no more than 39 storeys.

The building has a site area of 9,999 sq ft and a total floor area of 143,998 sq ft if the plot ratio is 14.4.

In the secondary market, Telecom Digital (6033) executive director Bobby Cheung King-chuen purchased a 1,699-sq-ft unit at Mont Rouge in Shek Kip Mei for HK$85 million, or HK$50,029 per sq ft.

In Lai Chi Kok, a 564-sq-ft flat at Mei Foo Sun Chuen changed hands for HK$8.2 million, or HK$14,539 per sq ft, after HK$80,000 was cut from the asking price.

And in Sai Wan Ho, a 685-sq-ft unit at Grand Promenade fetched HK$15.8 million, or HK$23,066 per sq ft, after HK$200,000 was cut from the asking price.

Hong Kong’s hotel investment market reels from coronavirus, protests, with prices tumbling and landlords suing

Only one hotel property has changed hands successfully, albeit at a steep discount, so far this year compared with seven in the first eight months of 2019

‘Why should they buy? They cannot collect rent and would lose money every day,’ agent said

Hong Kong’s hotel investment market is reeling from the impact of Covid-19 on tourism, with only one transaction taking place this year and landlords suing hotels for millions in rent arrears.

Only one hotel property has changed hands successfully, albeit at a steep discount, so far this year compared with seven in the first eight months of 2019. Last year’s total investment volume came to HK$9.9 billion (US$1.28 billion) via 10 transactions, according to property agent.

The city’s tourism industry has been devastated by international travel restrictions, particularly those preventing mainland Chinese visitors from crossing the border. It had already been struggling badly last year when anti-government street protests deterred visitors.

“Coupled with the social unrest, travellers cannot come. Hotels have no business. Occupancy rates are now just at 10 to 20 per cent, with not even enough [revenue] to pay workers,” property agent said. “Even the big hotels incur losses. It is not an isolated phenomenon, but the general market [is like this].”

It is hard for hotel property owners to find buyers at the moment, though if the price is discounted a lot some may be tempted to bet on a potential recovery if the pandemic is resolved within about a year, the agent added.

“Why should they buy? They cannot collect rent and would lose money every day,” agent said. “Buying now is taking a risk. [There is no possibility of getting] a reasonable return immediately after buying.”

ITC Properties Group in late August sold the 94-room Le Petit Rosedale Hotel in Causeway Bay for HK$460 million to Wang Dingben, a non-executive director of the Hong Kong-listed China New Economy Fund, according to ITC’s filing to the stock exchange. The hotel and its holding company incurred a loss of HK$49.24 million for the year ended March 2020.

The price represents a 34.3 per cent discount from the original asking price at HK$700 million, agents said. The price per room, at HK$4.89 million, is 13 per cent below that paid by “shop king” Tang Shing-bor for what is now called the Hotel Ease Causeway Bay, at HK$5.62 million, in September 2017.

“Market recovery will remain slow until essentially the connection with China is re-established,” agent said. “As a result of the events of the last year and with the lack of international visitors, we are seeing a repricing of certain hotel assets.”

Meanwhile, the buyer of the Queen’s Hotel in Sai Wan, Grand Fortune Overseas Holdings, cancelled the HK$310 million deal in late August, less than a month after signing the purchase agreement, losing 10 per cent, or HK$31 million, in deposits, according to agents. The original owner of the Queen’s Hotel once asked for HK$450 million.

The Hong Kong Reese Hotel in Aberdeen on August 25 was sued by landlord Central Well Limited for not paying rent, rates and interest from March to August amounting to HK$16.92 million, according to a writ from the High Court.

It was sued on two other occasions before that, for rent from July last year to February. The landlord has already won a lawsuit for about HK$13.78 million owed between July and November last year. The Reese Hotel did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Vela Boutique Hotel in Causeway Bay was also sued by the landlord for rent amounting to HK$20.72 million in June. Vela did not respond to a request for comment.

“I think landlords, hotel owners and hotel operating companies have to work together in partnership to work through this time,” agent said. “Because it’s a challenging market for all parties.”
