皇后大道中現12吉鋪業界：差過沙士時料需逾兩年消化
本報日前披露再有兩家品牌鐘表撤出中環皇后大道中，事實上，經過反修例運動加上疫症打擊，這條中環核心街道最新現12個吉鋪，地產界人士表示，目前遊客「消失」，吉鋪情況差過沙士時，料需時逾兩年消化。
在零售寒冬下，中環皇后大道中由位處29號的華人行、30號娛樂行龍頭鋪位，以至街尾位置的110號永恆商業大廈，鐘表、美容業及大型時裝連鎖店先後撤走，目前，吉鋪共有12個，史無前例地多。
業主：料遊客回來才見起色
科達地產主席湯君明，身為57號科達商業大廈業主，他形容，經過反修例活動及疫症，這條街成為重災區，現時吉鋪數量多過沙士時，料需時逾兩年消化。他又說，不論有沒有自由行，這條街向來聚集鐘表、珠寶、時裝及銀行，只有等遊客回來，這些行業才會「回歸」，但減租免不了，以科達商廈鋪位(連地庫及1樓)為例，租客撤走時月租80多萬，現時他意向56萬。
代理表示，皇后大道中店鋪主要做零售，靠遊客支持，估計遊客明年中之後才「回流」，由於目前吉鋪多，料租金再減50%才能獲承接，日後續租根據店鋪生意額，再逐步加租。
本報日前披露皇后大道中29號華人行地下G1號鋪、以及G3及G5號鋪，兩家國際品牌鐘表剛同時撤出，其中，G1號鋪現址Swatch旗艦店已「停止營業」。 G3號及G5號鋪BLANCPAIN現址亦「暫時關閉營業」。
華人行地下G1號鋪建築面積約1093方呎，Swatch在2018年底承租，月租約110萬，並非該鋪位歷來最高租金，該鋪位於2014年月租高達230萬，其時租客嘉信表行，隨後，希臘首飾品牌Folli Follie於2015年以每月180萬進駐，月租跌21.7%，Swatch於2018年取代Folli Follie承租，月租110萬元，較高位跌120萬，幅度約52%，惟仍然要棄租。

租金高位跌一半業界料需再減40%
核心區吉鋪之多史無前例，惟租金並非史上最高，而是普遍由高位跌一半。地產界人士預期中環皇后大道中租金要再跌40%至50%，才有機會獲承租，即高位累跌70%至80%。
日式超市取代鐘表店
該街道錄得超市取代鐘表珠寶店個案，其中，皇后大道中100號(100QRC)低層地下及地庫複式鋪，建築面積約19064方呎，今年4月，獲日本超市驚安之殿堂(DONDONDONKI)進駐，月租約160萬，簽下10年租約，首2年月租入場160萬，及後8年加租，十年期間平均月租逾200萬。
