數據中心租金逆市上升 代理：按年幅度逾5%

近期火炭工廈地皮高於市場估值上限近一倍成交，買家為中移動，將重建數據中心自用，事實上，數據中心需求殷切，租金亦逆市上升，代理指出，過去兩年，市場上新增400萬方呎數據中心樓面，即使過去一年，在示威及疫市下，數據中心租金仍然逆市上升，目前最新呎租20元至35元，按月上升5%至10%。

疫情下市民生活模式趨向改變，推動數據中心需求，代理表示，目前市場上的數據中心呎租20至35元，視乎是現有工廈作改裝或是全新興建的數據中心。

平均呎租20至35元

數據中心主要來自廠廈改建或重建，以及政府提供的土地，目前，市場上可以改建的工廈愈來愈少，若有適合項目，租金必然錄得增長，幅度高達10%。數據中心租期向來較長，每年皆錄得3%至4%的租金增長。

代理表示，儘管過去一年受負面因素影響，工商鋪投資物業租售價下跌，但數據中心租售價逆市造好，按年升幅約5至10%，過去兩年，市場錄400萬方呎數據中心的吸納量，需求殷切。

代理發表的亞太區投資者意向調查顯示，區內30%的受訪者年內考慮購買數據中心，較2019年的18%大幅增長。

兩年吸納量400萬呎

代理表示，數據中心需要嚴格監管制度和營運要求，直接投資較困難，買入股權投資成為首選。有投資者透過夥拍經驗豐富的營運商，以增加行業經驗。

該代理行指出，由全球流動數據用量增長，香港的IT總運力快速增長，由2019年第一季的299.9兆瓦增至2020年第一季的379.6兆瓦，按年錄27%增長。在未來數年，預計將逾215兆瓦的運力投入香港市場。
