麒豐資本申重建觀塘王氏大廈

由莎莎 (00178)太子爺郭浩泉等組成的麒豐資本，早前完成收購的觀塘鴻圖道33號王氏大廈，近日向城規會申請放寬地積比率2成，擬興建31層高新式工廈，總樓面約14.9萬呎。

該工廈鄰近新地 (00016)九巴車廠重建項目，對面是麒豐資本鴻圖道32號甲級寫字樓項目，麒豐資本先以3.3億元收購4層樓面，之後再夥同其他業主一同收購，最終在今年2月統一業權。

近期麒豐資本向城規會申請，略為放寬地積比率至14.4倍，較分區規劃大綱圖上的上限12倍增加2成，以作准許的非污染工業用途，將興建1幢31層高新式工廈，總樓面約14.9萬呎。

麒豐資本由莎莎國際郭少明兒子郭浩泉、前宏基資本 (02288) 副總裁洪英偉等共同創辦。

新豐路全幢5900萬售八年僅升值7%

新冠肺炎重創鋪位市場，上水區內受水貨客絕迹影響，鋪位造價進一步受壓，消息指，上水新豐路67號全幢於去年年中、即社會運動萌芽前，曾以1.1億放售，惟受市況急速轉差影響，大幅減價至5900萬成交，成交價低市價約20%，原業主持貨8年，帳面獲利僅400萬，升值7%。

市場消息指出，上述為上水新豐路67號全幢，地鋪面積1200方呎，附設入則閣250方呎、一樓面積907方呎，二樓面積907方呎，以5900萬成交；據悉，地鋪部分由銀行以17萬承租、至於1樓及2樓分別由教會及寫字樓以1.1萬及1.2萬承租，合計月租約19.3萬，料買家享回報約3.9厘。

連約回報3.9厘

據土地註冊處資料顯示，上址原業主於2012年3月以5500萬買入，故持貨8年，帳面獲利僅400萬，期間升值約7%。盛滙商舖基金管理有限公司行政總裁李根興表示，上述物業原業主為「非洲鞋王」梁日昌家族，物業於去年年中、即社會運動萌芽前，曾以1.1億放售，惟受市況急速轉差影響，大幅減價至5900萬成交，低市價約兩成，原業主持貨8年，帳面獲利僅400萬。

李根興續指出，上述物業於市場放盤已久，位置不錯，惟已經過了符興街，屬於新豐街較平位置，最貴位置應該是近龍琛路，以全幢成交價5900萬計算，低市價約20%，加上租戶為銀行，租金相對穩定，惟受新冠肺炎影響，令上水區內水貨客絕迹，拖累鋪價進一步受壓。

全層售價7375萬

事實上，傅厚民於去年年中以8200.8萬購入該廈18樓全層，亦以相同公司名義登記，故是次為增持單位，最新成交價較去年低10%。資料顯示，上址原業主為恒基，早年收購該地段多幢舊樓，並重建為銀座式商廈。

據土地註冊處資料顯示，元朗商廈虹方低層10室，於上月15日以360萬成交，買家以個人名義登記，為葉姓人士，以單位面積391方呎計，每呎造價約9207元，原業主為劉姓人士，於2018年4月以518萬購入，持貨僅兩年，帳面蝕讓約158萬，期間貶值幅度約30%。

虹方低層兩年蝕30%

市場消息透露，由朱太持有中環中心61樓一個單位租出，涉及6108室，面積約2224方呎，以每呎95元租出，略高於市價。上環中遠大廈中層06至12室，面積約9005方呎，以每呎54元租出，為市價水平。

安達臣道地皮勢大貶值掀財團「試底價」測水溫本周五截標市場趨審慎悲觀

安達臣道區內首置盤地皮於本周五截標。業界人士認為，該區一帶公營房屋為主，且首置及私樓單位只可現樓推售，無法預售樓花，增加投資風險，相信財團出價保守及審慎，料以「試底價」投地，並不排除有流標風險，而其估值較2018年初批出的一幅私樓地，跌價逾5成，最新項目估值介乎46億至55億元，樓面呎價約4200至5000元。

政府為增加公營房屋供應，令安達臣道發展規模大變，以公營房屋主導，會德豐地產主席梁志堅表示，集團會入標競投該地，出價會考慮不同因素並按市況出價，認為各發展商會各自計數。對於會否較上一幅土地的地價平，則認為「此一時，彼一時」，地皮位置亦不同，難以直接比較。

發展商：出價打上折扣

華懋執行董事兼行政總裁蔡宏興稱，由於地皮設有不少限制，包括項目部分單位要作首置用途，相信有關限制會反映到地價上，同時亦會令地價打上折扣。他再指，財團出價屬「各自計數」，按樓價及預計發展成本作計算，而集團現時尚未決定會否入標。

區內轉型公營房屋主導

新世界營業及市務部總監黃浩賢預計，財團會因應市況考慮不同因素而出價，並會各自計數，認為區內定位及地皮相關限制，將會反映在標價上；惟該地皮主打上車盤，而目前1000萬以下單位需求大，市場不乏承接力，料銷情有保證。

料樓面呎價約4200至5000元

麗新發展高級副總裁潘銳民表示，現仍考慮當中，料該地屬市區「靚地」預計將會受市場歡迎，加上屬首置盤，適合中小型發展商發展，在目前市況下，料出價有機會保守及審慎，同時對比區內對上一幅土地有折讓空間。

合景泰富集團市務及營銷總監(香港及海外)張詩韻表示，集團需要考慮地區優勢、交通配套、工程成本及目標客源等因素，目前仍研究當中。

佳明集團營業及市務總監顏景鳳稱，集團會入標，並傾向獨資，而對這類民生盤的發展，集團希望透過現有的建築技術，去興建更多有質素的中小型單位，並以合理價錢推出，希望助港人上車。

地盤佔地約21.7萬方呎，可建約109萬方呎，為第二個港人首次置業項目。受多項規定「捆綁」。綜合市場消息指，最新估值介乎46億至55億元，樓面呎價約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.
