麒丰资本申重建观塘王氏大厦

由莎莎(00178)太子爷郭浩泉等组成的麒丰资本，早前完成收购的观塘鸿图道33号王氏大厦，近日向城规会申请放宽地积比率2成，拟兴建31层高新式工厦，总楼面约14.9万呎。

该工厦邻近新地(00016)九巴车厂重建项目，对面是麒丰资本鸿图道32号甲级写字楼项目，麒丰资本先以3.3亿元收购4层楼面，之后再伙同其他业主一同收购，最终在今年2月统一业权。

近期麒丰资本向城规会申请，略为放宽地积比率至14.4倍，较分区规划大纲图上的上限12倍增加2成，以作准许的非污染工业用途，将兴建1幢31层高新式工厦，总楼面约14.9万呎。

麒丰资本由莎莎国际郭少明儿子郭浩泉、前宏基资本(02288)副总裁洪英伟等共同创办。

安达臣道地皮势大贬值掀财团「试底价」测水温本周五截标市场趋审慎悲观

安达臣道区内首置盘地皮于本周五截标。业界人士认为，该区一带公营房屋为主，且首置及私楼单位只可现楼推售，无法预售楼花，增加投资风险，相信财团出价保守及审慎，料以「试底价」投地，并不排除有流标风险，而其估值较2018年初批出的一幅私楼地，跌价逾5成，最新项目估值介乎46亿至55亿元，楼面呎价约4200至5000元。

政府为增加公营房屋供应，令安达臣道发展规模大变，以公营房屋主导，会德丰地产主席梁志坚表示，集团会入标竞投该地，出价会考虑不同因素并按市况出价，认为各发展商会各自计数。对于会否较上一幅土地的地价平，则认为「此一时，彼一时」，地皮位置亦不同，难以直接比较。

发展商：出价打上折扣

华懋执行董事兼行政总裁蔡宏兴称，由于地皮设有不少限制，包括项目部分单位要作首置用途，相信有关限制会反映到地价上，同时亦会令地价打上折扣。他再指，财团出价属「各自计数」，按楼价及预计发展成本作计算，而集团现时尚未决定会否入标。

区内转型公营房屋主导

新世界营业及市务部总监黄浩贤预计，财团会因应市况考虑不同因素而出价，并会各自计数，认为区内定位及地皮相关限制，将会反映在标价上；惟该地皮主打上车盘，而目前1000万以下单位需求大，市场不乏承接力，料销情有保证。

料楼面呎价约4200至5000元

丽新发展高级副总裁潘锐民表示，现仍考虑当中，料该地属市区「靚地」预计将会受市场欢迎，加上属首置盘，适合中小型发展商发展，在目前市况下，料出价有机会保守及审慎，同时对比区内对上一幅土地有折让空间。

合景泰富集团市务及营销总监(香港及海外)张诗韵表示，集团需要考虑地区优势、交通配套、工程成本及目标客源等因素，目前仍研究当中。

佳明集团营业及市务总监顏景凤称，集团会入标，并倾向独资，而对这类民生盘的发展，集团希望透过现有的建筑技术，去兴建更多有质素的中小型单位，并以合理价钱推出，希望助港人上车。

地盘佔地约21.7万方呎，可建约109万方呎，为第二个港人首次置业项目。受多项规定「捆绑」。综合市场消息指，最新估值介乎46亿至55亿元，楼面呎价约4200至5000元。

‘Out of touch’ Hong Kong withdraws Kai Tak commercial plot from sale following tepid bids by developers amid economic contraction in city

The Hong Kong government on Wednesday withdrew a commercial plot for sale at the site of the city’s former airport at Kai Tak following a tepid response from bidders, as the city’s worst economic contraction in decades amid the coronavirus pandemic deters developers from long-term investments.

The plot, which can yield 1.16 million square feet (107,767 square metres) in gross floor area, failed to sell because property developers’ bids “failed to meet the government’s reserve price”, according to a statement by the Lands Department. It is the second-largest commercial parcel of land in Kai Tak.

Kai Tak Area 2A Site 4, Site 5(B) and Site 10 is located near the proposed Sung Wong Toi MTR station and the Kai Tak Sports Park. Valuers had cut their estimate for the plot by as much as 20 per cent, to a range between HK$6.38 billion (US$823.2 million) and HK$10.44 billion. The Lands Department’s reserve price was “out of touch” with the wider market, one of them said on Wednesday.

The withdrawal, the third involving a commercial plot at Kai Tak and fourth overall in Hong Kong since January 2018, underscored the depressed mood in the world’s most expensive real-estate market, with the economic aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic adding to business disruption stemming from almost a year of anti-government protests.

“The withdrawal is disappointing. It reflects the big difference between developers and the government”, when it comes to the outlook for Hong Kong’s commercial market, agent said.

Hong Kong’s economy shrank by 8.9 per cent year on year in the first three months of 2020 for its worst quarter on record. It was also a second successive quarterly contraction, which confirms that the city’s economy is in recession. Home prices have retreated by 8.1 per cent on average from a peak in June 2019, according to the property agency, with some consultants predicting as much as a 20 per cent slide by the end of this year.

“The government overestimated the [parcel’s worth]. The market has corrected, but the [reserve] price was not in line with the market,” surveyor said.

The surveyor gave the example of a transaction at Silver Fortune Plaza in Hong Kong’s Central district, where prices had fallen by about 20 per cent since last year.

“I’m not surprised. The land is too big,” another agent. “The government should have carved [the plot] into three smaller parcels. It’s too much for one owner to take it all.”

The agent said a complicated plan had dampened developers’ appetite. “It looks like three sites. There are roads going through it. Underground work is also needed. I think it is so complicated. Nowadays, in Kowloon East, [developers] will not pay a high price for such a large commercial parcel,” the agent said, adding that the withdrawal would “weigh further on the Kowloon East commercial market”.

“The land office is not sufficiently aware of the market. Its reserve price is out of touch with the market,” the agent said.

The Kai Tak site will take years to mature, and developers had been conservative in their bids in an environment of increased uncertainty and risk amid the coronavirus pandemic, another surveyor said.

The site had received four bids, from Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value, CK Asset Holdings, which was founded by tycoon Li Ka-shing, K&K Property and a consortium of Sino Land and Lifestyle International Holdings, when the tender closed on May 8.
