金融中心地位稳 甲厦长綫受惠

代理：商用物业未见底 料至明年中

最近投资气氛稍转好，有代理认为，商用物业市场尚未见底，疫情带来影响料持续至明年中。投资市场方面，该代理认为酒店价回调，渐具投资价值，而本港金融中心地位稳固，甲厦长綫受惠。

据代理数据显示，截至10月份，今年逾亿元成交涉约64宗，涉资320亿元，若与去年208宗及1,280亿元比较，价量均明显下挫，若与2018年投资高峰期比较，当时全年成交金额达1,970亿元，成交宗数324宗，目前仅为高峰期的16%。

不过，踏入11月，市况有所改善，市场亦录得「久违」的近百亿成交，太古地产 (01972) 宣布，以约98.45亿元，把太古城中心一座写字楼全幢沽出，物业总楼面约63万平方呎，呎价近1.6万元，新家为基滙资本等。至于逾亿元成交，尚有Downtown 38基座铺位 (3亿元)、中环中心两单位 (1.16亿元)等，成交有所反弹。

中港尽早通关 非常重要

投资气氛有所好转，该代理表示，近期市场气氛稍好。「外围局势上，美国总统选举结果后，中美关係紧张或会缓和，人民币亦有机会升值，对香港投资市场有利。另外，从近日住宅市场上，反映资金仍非常充裕，均有利投资市场。」不过，该代理对后市仍抱审慎睇法，「认为楼市已见底似乎言之尚早，疫情下很多机构仍有收缩的需要，会打击商用物业需求。此外，近期银行取态审慎，多不愿批出借贷，若写字楼、铺位无租约，未必批贷款。个别业主持重货，银行开始劝出售，未来数月料市场出现业主割价求售情况。」

后市上，该代理认为中港尽早通关是非常重要，「环球疫情仍严峻，相比之下，中港情况向好，只要通关有商务往来，可带动市况反弹。」

酒店价格跌 有投资商机

各项范畴上，今年酒店受「零旅客」影响，生意明显下挫，而酒店成交亦不多，涉及3宗，包括德祥地产 (00199) 出售铜锣湾摩顿台7号珀丽尚品酒店，作价4.6亿元。酒店共设有94间房，以4.6亿元成交价计，平均每间房约489万。该代理分析，酒店价格下跌，反而有投资商机，「酒店开始获投资者留意，他们认为未来始终会通关，最快造就酒店入住率，长远来说酒店供应不多，投资者认为只要折让便值得入市。」写字楼方面，该代理指疫情下金融业表现并不差，「今年财富管理、私人银行生意更胜去年，因很多人未能离港，集中火力在投资市场上。」他指，香港金融中心地位不变，写字楼需求长远仍佳，「新股集资仍然强劲，香港始终是内地及国际重要的金融中心，疫情或令明年上半年甲厦租金仍下跌，料下半年可反弹。」

五大零售区铺位空置率微升中原：幅度约0.02%至0.16%

踏入第四季，市场期望圣诞及新年长假期可带旺零售市道，而且现时核心区铺租大跌，商户开业意欲上升，铺位空置率升势渐收窄。有代理统计，10月份5个核心消费区包括中环、湾仔、铜锣湾、尖沙嘴及旺角商铺空置率微升，升幅约0.02%至0.16%；中环仍是最严峻地区，最新录约20.61%。核心区铺位空置率升势放缓，配合现时市况见好转，代理预测年底前空置率逐渐改善，吉铺逐渐被消化。

按该代理行资料显示，10月份五大核心区包括中环、湾仔、铜锣湾、尖沙嘴及旺角商铺空置率比9月录轻微升幅，幅度由约0.02%至0.16%，整体走势平稳。当中录最大升幅为中环区，同时亦是5个地区中空置率最高，中环10月铺位空置率为20.61%，按月增加约0.16%；另一港岛核心消费区铜锣湾最新数字则录得约11.74%，比9月上升约0.08%。至于九龙区方面，尖沙嘴商铺空置率紧追中环，最新按月升约0.13%，至约16.99%。

年底前吉铺逐渐被消化

代理续表示，虽然月内各区空置率继续见递增，不过幅度相对轻微，由于铺租大幅下调，令商户租铺意欲上升，而且第四季一向为铺位租赁旺季，料有不少租客趁核心区铺租相宜，进驻提升品牌知名度之餘，亦準备迎接圣诞、新年档期，一举两得，因而令核心区空置率升势转趋平稳。事实上，最近租务市场气氛不俗，资料显示，10月录约439宗租赁，与9月数字相若，更有租客大手承租旺区巨铺，为运动鞋品牌FootLocker落实租用旺角家乐坊地下约2万方呎楼面，市传月租约200万，预计是今年最大额铺位租务成交。

商户迎接圣诞新年档期

代理分析，第四季因有多个长假档期，一向为铺位租赁旺季，而现时核心区不少优质地段铺回落至相当吸引水平，相信刺激不少商户闯一闯，以优惠租金落户一綫地段，为未来市况好转而作好準备。同时，最近2个月铺位租务交投量均超过400宗水平，比之前明显有转活迹象，对吸纳空置楼面有正面帮助，预料未来数月核心区商铺空置率会渐趋平稳走向，有望轻微回跌。

Store vacancies rise at shopping hubs

The percentage of shops sitting empty in the five core shopping districts rose by 2-16 basis points last month, according to data from property agent.

Of the five districts - Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, Wan Chai and Mong Kok - Central saw the highest vacancy rate at 20.61 percent in October, up by 16 basis points from a month before. In Causeway Bay, the vacancy rate went up 8 basis points to 11.74 percent.

The increase in the vacancy rates in the five core areas have been smaller amid tumbling rents, agent said.

Meanwhile, the owner of a shop premise at 31 Queen's Road Central, which is currently rented by US clothing retailer Gap, is offering the premise for lease at HK$3.3 million per month, local media reports.

In the secondary market, property agent recorded 14 secondary transactions at ten blue-chip housing estates over the past weekend, down by one transaction week-on-week.

In Lai Chi Kok, a 635-sq-ft flat at Mei Foo Sun Chuen changed hands for HK$8.6 million, or HK$13,543 per sq ft, after HK$580,000 was cut from the asking price.

In Quarry Bay, a 583-sq-ft flat at Tai Koo Shing fetched HK$10.5 million, or HK$18,010 per sq ft, after HK$2 million was slashed from the asking price.

And in Tseung Kwan O, a 526-sq-ft flat at Metro City sold for HK$8 million, or HK$15,209 per sq ft, after HK$280,000 was cut from the asking price.

In the primary market, Hong Kong Ferry (0050) and Empire Group sold 30 out of 123 units at Starfront Royale in Tuen Mun as of 1 pm on Sunday.

On Saturday, New World Development (0017) collected HK$3.9 billion after selling all 343 units on offer at The Pavilia Farm phase two on top of Tai Wai Station. NWD has already collected around HK$15 billion after selling around 1,440 units in the first two phases of the project. The developer released 396 units in the third price list of The Pavilia Farm phase two at an average HK$20,988 per sq ft after discounts, 5.8 percent higher than the first price list.

Embattled Goldin scraps $1.3b share placement

Goldin Financial (0530) has terminated a placing agreement that would have raised around HK$1.38 billion due to the current market conditions, the debt-laden local developer said last night.

Goldin said earlier last month it would place about 1.4 billion new shares at HK$1 per share to not less than six independent investors.

The new shares are equal to 20 percent of the total existing shares, or around 16.67 percent of the issued share capital after placement.

The net proceeds were intended to be used for repayment of indebtedness and general working capital, it had said.

The developer and Titan Financial Services, the placing agent, entered into a termination agreement to suspend the placing on November 13.

Goldin said it will consider engaging in further fundraising activities and will keep the market informed.

The developer has warned of a HK$6.1 billion loss for the year ended June from a profit of HK$6.37 billion a year ago.

It had planned to sell the Goldin Financial Global Centre, a 28-story Grade A office tower in Kowloon East, for HK$14.3 billion. However, Hong Kong's High Court ruled that the tower remains under the control of the receivers.

The sole agent for the sale of the Goldin Financial Global Centre, had valued the tower at around HK$12 billion, equivalent to a unit price of over HK$14,000 per sq ft.

Goldin sold a residential site in Kai Tak at a loss of HK$2.6 billion in May.

Gerald Ma Lai-chee, who worked for CK Asset (1113) for 24 years, resigned as vice-chairman and non-executive director just two-and-a-half months after his appointment.
