皇后大道中现12吉铺业界：差过沙士时料需逾两年消化

本报日前披露再有两家品牌鐘表撤出中环皇后大道中，事实上，经过反修例运动加上疫症打击，这条中环核心街道最新现12个吉铺，地产界人士表示，目前游客「消失」，吉铺情况差过沙士时，料需时逾两年消化。

在零售寒冬下，中环皇后大道中由位处29号的华人行、30号娱乐行龙头铺位，以至街尾位置的110号永恆商业大厦，鐘表、美容业及大型时装连锁店先后撤走，目前，吉铺共有12个，史无前例地多。

业主：料游客回来才见起色

科达地产主席汤君明，身为57号科达商业大厦业主，他形容，经过反修例活动及疫症，这条街成为重灾区，现时吉铺数量多过沙士时，料需时逾两年消化。他又说，不论有没有自由行，这条街向来聚集鐘表、珠宝、时装及银行，只有等游客回来，这些行业才会「回归」，但减租免不了，以科达商厦铺位(连地库及1楼)为例，租客撤走时月租80多万，现时他意向56万。

代理表示，皇后大道中店铺主要做零售，靠游客支持，估计游客明年中之后才「回流」，由于目前吉铺多，料租金再减50%才能获承接，日后续租根据店铺生意额，再逐步加租。

本报日前披露皇后大道中29号华人行地下G1号铺、以及G3及G5号铺，两家国际品牌鐘表刚同时撤出，其中，G1号铺现址Swatch旗舰店已「停止营业」。 G3号及G5号铺BLANCPAIN现址亦「暂时关闭营业」。

华人行地下G1号铺建筑面积约1093方呎，Swatch在2018年底承租，月租约110万，并非该铺位历来最高租金，该铺位于2014年月租高达230万，其时租客嘉信表行，随后，希腊首饰品牌Folli Follie于2015年以每月180万进驻，月租跌21.7%，Swatch于2018年取代Folli Follie承租，月租110万元，较高位跌120万，幅度约52%，惟仍然要弃租。

租金高位跌一半业界料需再减40%

核心区吉铺之多史无前例，惟租金并非史上最高，而是普遍由高位跌一半。地产界人士预期中环皇后大道中租金要再跌40%至50%，才有机会获承租，即高位累跌70%至80%。

日式超市取代鐘表店

该街道录得超市取代鐘表珠宝店个案，其中，皇后大道中100号(100QRC)低层地下及地库复式铺，建筑面积约19064方呎，今年4月，获日本超市惊安之殿堂(DONDONDONKI)进驻，月租约160万，签下10年租约，首2年月租入场160万，及后8年加租，十年期间平均月租逾200万。
