中环新海滨商业地王 「双信封制」招标
招标期达半年历来最长 地价非地价评分各佔一半
中环新海滨商业地王终于推出招标，昨日以「双信封制」招标，地价及非地价的技术评分各佔一半，故此招标期长达半年，明年6月才截标，有发展商认为能够有更多时间研究。
「双信封制」即按设计和地价两方面去评审投标者的建议书，综合两者的最佳组合将会胜出。政府形容，为了将新海滨3号用地打造成香港新地标，一个以人为本、着重可持续和城市设计，以及与四周环境融合的典范，决定以双信封制招标。
要求高 定6大设计评审标準
中环3号地皮面积约51.6万平方呎，指定作非工业 (不包括住宅、仓库及加油站) 用途，最高楼面约161.5万平方呎，并兴建23万平方呎的设施重置政府停车场等。
当局规定，「双信封制」招标须在设计和地价两方面均取得「合格分数」，才可获批地皮；设计方面定下6大评审标準，并由专业界别人士组成的顾问团提供意见。
政府又明言，为了让设计有「质素」，所以容许招标期长远26个星期，即近半年时间，至2021年6月才截标。章程显示地皮最迟要2021年11月12日才公布招标结果，距离截标时间长达5个月，较一般地皮仅1至2个月评审，明显较长，亦意味地皮难以在今年度批出入帐，无法解救政府今年度财政赤字。
新地雷霆：将研究入标
会德丰地产主席梁志坚认为，招标期较长因项目规模相当大，政府要求亦高，讲求标价及设计，故较长招标期是提供更多时间予发展商，对地皮进行研究。集团亦有研究，目前未有定案，并相信市况不明朗下，各大发展商入标将「自己计自己数」。
至于去年投得西九高铁站商业地王的新地 (00016) ，集团副董事总经理雷霆则指，会研究入标；嘉华 (00173) 则指要研究招标条款。
地皮市场估值约371亿至662亿元，每平方呎楼面地价高达2.3万至4.1万元，虽然较今年初地皮推出时候已大幅回调，但仍然有望挑战历来最贵重地王。
测量师指，各个财团都会聘用国际级则师去设计，最终设计评分预期差距不会太大，但认为由评审喜好去决定地皮谁属，属于荒谬做法，亦难以显现地皮价值。
另一测量师表示，写字楼及零售市场处于下行周期，发展商出价必然较保守，地皮发展时间长，政府公布招标结果日期与截标时间亦相差5个月，发展商需考虑更多风险因素并反映在入标价上。

文辉道地收7标书 大发展商财团出击
山顶文辉道豪宅地王继2018年流标后，「拆细」重推反应理想，昨截收7份标书，较首度招标时多两份，大型发展商纷入标。
项目昨日接获7份标书，其中长实 (01113) 、新地 (00016) 、嘉华 (00173) 及恒地 (00012) 再以独资身份入标，九仓 (00004) 是次亦有参与竞投，惟集团未有透露是以独资或合资形式入标。而早前曾合作多个项目的嘉里 (00683) 、信置 (00083) 、新世界 (00017) 及帝国集团再组梦幻组合出击。
反应理想 代理：博调低底价
嘉华香港地产发展及租务总监尹紫薇指，山顶属罕有供应，其景观等因素具可塑性，又指地皮「一拆二」后，门欖会降低，所以会吸引更多人参与竞投。而财团会视乎目前市况计数，亦认为豪宅银码较大，去货速度慢，投标已计入此因素，并相信疫情过后，资金会正常流入豪宅市场。
代理指，入标数较预期多，不排除部分发展商于项目「拆细」后的竞投兴趣增加，又认为发展商「博」政府在目前市况下调低底价，以「执死鸡」心态入标。不过投资总额大，若政府不愿意调低底价，地皮仍有流标风险。对于再有中大型发展商合组财团竞投，他表示，合资可以分散风险，并在日后销售时更易出售豪宅。
项目于「一拆二」后，面积约13.5万平方呎，以地积比率约1.92倍计，最高楼面面积约25.9万平方呎，并规定作私人住宅，料作洋房及分层豪宅混合发展。卖地章程显示，发展商可申请契约修订，与项目餘下的三成地盘共用使用康乐设施及泊车位等，协助两幅地皮协同发展。
事实上，地皮早在2018年10月招标，估值高达242.58亿至404亿元，楼面地价6万至10万元平方呎，惟因入标的5份标书不达底价，最终流标收场。当时入标均以大型发展商为主，而九仓、新世界、南丰、华懋、中海外及信置更组成超级财团合资竞投。

Sun Hung Kai Properties, Chinachem Group may bid in rare ‘two-envelope’ tender for prime commercial plot next to Hong Kong’s IFC
Government using ‘two-envelope’ method to sell New Central Harbourfront Site 3, meaning winner will be determined by assessing both price and design proposal
Size of cash bids is likely to be subdued by depressed outlook for city’s office sector after Covid-19 devastated demand, say analysts
Hong Kong’s biggest developer by value, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Chinachem Group said they may bid for a prime plot of commercial land to be sold via a rare tender process that takes into account participants’ design plans as well as cash bids.
The government is using a “two-envelope” approach for the sale of New Central Harbourfront Site 3, meaning the winner will be determined by assessing both price and design proposal. This deviates from the practice of awarding sites based on the highest bid alone, which has been used consistently for the last 18 years.
The 516,000 square-foot parcel is next to the International Finance Centre, and was described by one property agent as the rarest and “most precious” plot to go on sale since the development of that landmark tower.
Of 11 major developers polled by the South China Morning Post, only SHKP and Chinachem – both frequent participants in local land sales – said they were interested in the parcel.
“It is a very important site in Central. The two-envelope system will give us bidders not only price competition, but also [competition in] the design and project layout to show the thoughts and advantages of every competitor,” said Donald Choi, chief executive at Chinachem Group.
The last time the government used this sales method was in 2002 when it sold the former Marine Police headquarters, now the address of 1881 Heritage in Tsim Sha Tsui.
“[Developers] have to be very confident about Hong Kong’s prospects and have commitment because the payback period is relatively long,” Choi added. Property agent estimates that the payback period for the site – the amount of time it takes to recover the cost of an investment – is about 25 to 30 years.
A spokesperson for the Development Bureau said: “Our vision is for it to become a new landmark for Hong Kong, setting a benchmark for people-centric design with emphases on sustainable and urban design considerations as well as integration with the surroundings.”
Choi believes the bids for the plot will be subdued by the gloomy state of the city’s office market, as the coronavirus pandemic has dented demand by making remote working far more popular.
“Covid has sped up the impact of technology on the office sector. So I think everyone will consider how office demand will be in future,” he said. “Hong Kong is also developing different central business districts in Kwun Tong and in the Lantau Tomorrow Vision, which will increase supply.”
The tender period will last for six months, closing on June 18, 2021, allowing sufficient time for bidders to prepare their design proposals.
Another agency expects that when the tender closes in June, the overall business atmosphere and investor confidence will be on the rebound.
It values the site at HK$38,000 (US$4,901) per sq ft, about HK$61.1 billion in total, a 25 per cent discount to the Murray Road car park site that Henderson Land acquired three years ago. It is expected to yield up to 1.84 million sq ft in gross floor area.
“As a rare parcel near the sea in the Central district, it is the most precious and rarest commercial land to be launched since the International Finance Centre. The land itself is square, easy to tailor, and highly malleable,” surveyor said.
“The development of the project is even a status symbol. With these advantages and great investment value, it will develop into a rare new landmark in the coastal area of Hong Kong.”
Despite these advantages, the rocky state of the market has prompted surveyor to slash its valuation of the project by about 20 per cent from an estimate in January, to between HK$23,000 (US$2,966) and HK$25,000 per square ft – HK$37 billion to HK$40 billion in total. The total investment is likely to be about HK$55 to HK$60 billion.
“Developers would be conservative in the bidding,” another surveyor said. “The city’s office and retail markets are currently clouded with uncertainties due to Covid and the downturn.”
Only three to five developers or consortia are expected to submit bids, surveyor said.
“Although it is not a good time to sell large-scale commercial land, we understand it is the government’s approach to have proceeds and [ensure] the long-term development of the Central District,” surveyor said. “If it is successfully sold, it can increase market confidence.”
The surveyor estimated that the chance of the site being withdrawn from sale is reduced by adopting the two-envelope approach.
The surveyor said the tender needs to be open and transparent, and called on the government, when the time comes, to explain the project planning and development content of the winning bid and the reasons it was chosen.
