金急跌,至09年第4季才回穩。隨著經濟轉趨穩定,市場對商 廈需求回升,中環區甲級商廈租賃市場已趨穩定,租金亦見大 幅回勇。

金鐘商廈買賣市場於09年首季受經濟疲弱及投資者缺乏信心 影響,交投不但呆滯,售價下挫幅度明顯,如力寶中心呎價於 08年2月曾升至16,800元的高位水平,09年初跌至8,000元,下 跌逾五成。09年第2季尾,股市樓市向好、經濟回穩,商廈資 深投資者再度活躍,他們窺見該區商廈售價「超跌」,在金融 業復蘇後,售價定必有理想上升空間,資深投資者黎汝遠、紀 惠集團等率先入市,帶動買賣氣氛上揚,售價拾級而上,至年 底,力寶中心平均呎價已回升至約13,200元的水平;遠東金融 中心及美國銀行中心平均呎價亦分別攀升至約16,500及15,000 元的水平。

由於金鐘區商廈多由投資者持有,業權分散,持貨能力較弱, 向來對市場較為敏感,能因應市況改變而作出靈活對策,因 此,不少業主於金融海嘯發生後,立即調低租金叫價,如金鐘 力寶中心呎租便由50元急跌至30元,租金於低位徘徊達大半 年。09年第4季,不少中資公司鍾情於港鐵站上蓋,區內可提 供中、小型面積單位,以及租金水平與中環存有極大差距,因 而選擇在此設立辦公室,區內租務市況得以改善,租金逐步回 升一至兩成。

enter the market, which encouraged more investors to come back to the market. The ofce prices surged signicantly. Average price of Lippo Centre has increased to HK$13,200 per sq ft at the end of 2009, while the average prices of Far East Finance Centre and Bank of America Tower reached HK$16,500 per sq ft and HK$15,000 per sq ft respectively.

Many ofce buildings in Admiralty are stratied and owned by individual investors. The holding power of these investors is relatively weak, compared with that of the major landlords. Individual investors are exible and could react quickly towards the market change. Many investors cut the asking rents immediately in response to the outbreak of the global nancial crisis. For example, the average rent of Lippo Centre fell to HK$30 per sq ft from HK$50 per sq ft. Ofce rents stayed at low level for almost a year. In the forth quarter of 2009, the demand for ofce in the area has increased due to the in ux of mainland companies. These companies like the ofces which are located above the MTR station. The difference in rental level between Admiralty and Central and more choices of small to medium size ofce units in the Admiralty district are also attractive factors to the mainland companies. The growing demand helped to improve the leasing market, while the ofce rentals rebounded 10 to 20 per cent.

The developer launched the project at market price and offered long completion period to meet the requirements of the investors. Developers would keep their new ofce developments in the district for lease only, so the supply of new ofce buildings available for sale is limited. This makes Billion Development’s project even more attractive to investors. The project was sold out in a few months after it launched in the second half, while the prices have also increased.

Kowloon East ofce leasing market focused on the newly developed grade A ofce buildings. The new ofce buildings included Manulife Financial Centre at 223 Wai Yip Street, Landmark East at 100 How Ming Street, Exchange Tower and Manhattan Place. As the local demand for ofce is not strong, developers focused on attracting tenants from other districts. With the lower ofce rents, the performance of the ofce leasing market is good and many enterprises are attracted to move into the district.

The retail market was relatively stable. Tony Lo, director of Midland Shops, said the strong retail sales helped buoy the performance of retail property market. The mainland tourists spending remained strong as the mainland government retained a strong GDP growth.

He said the retail property market was clouded by a negative market sentiment in early last year, the sales of retail properties continued to drop. Despite the market outlook was uncertain, early termination of leases were uncommon in retail sector and the vacancy rate of the shopping areas remained low. As most of the retail investors are cash-rich, they are reluctant to sell their properties at low

North Point and Sai Wan The retail investment market of North Point remains active in 2009, the prices are relatively stable. The investment market was in lack of focus as the future development of North Point Estate is still uncertain and the controversy over the development of the government site at Oil Street has yet come to an end. Thus, there was no breakthrough in North Point retail market in 2009. Investors would switch their focuses in the district until the outlook for the two major projects could be conrmed.

The construction of the MTR West Island Line has started. Investors began to snap up prime shops in the area as they are expecting the Western District will have a facelift upon the completion of the new railway line. In addition, the prices of retail properties in the district were lower than that of the shops in prime locations. The shops in the area offered rental yield of 4 per cent or above on average, which is higher than that in prime shopping districts.

Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan The retail investment market in the New Territories was booming. Tsuen Wan and Yuen Long are good examples. Despite the retail investment market was quiet in the rst quarter due to the hit of the nancial turmoil, the market sentiment recovered very soon in the second quarter. For example, the monthly transactions in May in Tsuen Wan returned to double digits level from less than 10 transactions per month previously.
