Hong Kong Property Beyond the Darkness Asia Pacific Equity Research 08 January 2020 Hong Kong Property Beyond the Darkness We expect the various property sub-segments to trend down in 2020, but downside Hong Kong, Singapore in residential prices and office rents is likely more temporary than for retail. Thanks Head of HK Research, to significant corrections in developers’ and office landlords’ share prices, we are Conglomerates and Property positioning our OW on these two sectors ahead of an expected recovery in sentiment Cusson Leung, CFA AC starting from 2Q-3Q2020. However, we believe the downturn in Hong Kong retail (852) 2800-8526 is more structural and we maintain our UW on the two key shopping mall landlords. [email protected] Bloomberg JPMA LEUNG <GO> Moderate correction in residential prices of 10%. Hong Kong SAR home Jevon Jim AC prices are likely to be affected by negative sentiment from a potential rise in the (852) 2800-8538 unemployment rate; however, income growth and employment have not been [email protected] key drivers for residential prices over the past ten years. The key driver was Bloomberg JPMA JJIM <GO> liquidity, which has seen about a HK$40bn net increase in the last 12 months. Ryan Li, CFA We believe a short-term correction of 10% is likely given concerns on the local (852) 2800-8529 economy, yet we expect sentiment to improve after 1Q2020 with more [email protected] substantial primary launches in the market. Developers are trading at -1.5 to -2 Karl Chan S.D. below mean and the moderate downside in prices is more than priced in. (852) 2800-8513 We are OW CK Asset, Henderson Land and NWD, while the rest of the [email protected] developers are rated Neutral. Avery Chan (852) 2800-8659 China PMI more important than falling office rents. While we are forecasting [email protected] Central and non-core office rents to fall by 15% and 5-10% in 2020, respectively, J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited these are all lagging indicators. Office landlords’ share prices trade on leasing activities; the leading indicator of change in the intensity of the leasing activities 2019 share price performance is China PMI, which has started its rebound. We upgrade both Hongkong Land and Swire Prop to OW, from N and UW, respectively, given their previous Wheelock underperformance and sensitivity to a potential leasing recovery in 2H2020. SHKP NWD Prefer China to HK retail landlords. Given policy support for China’s CK Asset domestic consumption, we believe growth in the China consumption sector will Henderson Developers be carried into 2020. China shopping mall landlords have been doing well on Wharf their tenant sales and we expect positive rental reversion in 2020. Both Hang Kerry Lung Properties and Wharf Holdings are rated OW. However, we believe Sino this will be at the expense of Hong Kong retail, which has been relying heavily HLP on Mainland tourist spending. Even without any disruption from social events, Wharf REIC downward pressure on rental reversion remains, in our view. Maintain UW on Swire Prop Landlords Wharf REIC and Hysan. Staple retail landlords are a fringe segment that we HK Land like. We rate Link REIT and Fortune REIT (previously N) as OW. Hysan Link Which companies are doing more for Hong Kong? This is going to be Fortune REITs increasingly the key question to ask. The massive asset inflation over the last ten Champion years has caused property companies’ pool of target customers to shrink due to HSI affordability issues. The question is how to make money when your customers are -20% -10% 0% 10% 20% getting poorer, and property companies’ efforts to rebalance the different Note: Adjusted for dividends and bonus shares stakeholders’ interests will likely be increasingly appreciated to drive sustainable Source: Bloomberg returns in the long term.

Our previous 'worst-case’ scenario includes assumptions of a 30% drop in residential prices, a 40% fall in office rents and a 30% drop in retail rents. The rationales for the three assumptions were: Residential prices: Assuming the current home price-to-income ratio falls back from the current 14x to its long-term average of 10x, this would imply a 30% decline in residential prices. Office rents: Hong Kong CBD office rents are at a 160% premium to Singapore CBD rents. In the event of an unforeseen confidence crisis in Hong Kong, an emigration of MNCs could contract the premium to about 60%, which is a similar level to those seen during the Asian Financial Crisis and Global Financial Crisis. This implies a 40% decline in office rents. Retail rents: If the current social unrest in Hong Kong leads to a 70% reduction in tourist spending and a 10% decline in domestic consumption, we estimate Hong Kong retail sales would see about a 30% drop and retail rents would fall by the same magnitude to keep occupancy costs in check. These assumptions were applied across the entire sector when we had little visibility of the social events and the US-China trade war. However, the following developments that took place in 4Q2019 have made us turn less pessimistic about the sector outlook: The US and China reached a preliminary agreement on trade issues in early December 2019, which is an important parameter to gauge potential downside in the China economy; Social events appear to be of a smaller scale and the severity of violent clashes has receded since the Legislative Council elections on November 24, 2019.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Celebrates Opening of Spring City 66 the Design Reconnects Kunming's Pedestrian Pathways As It Nods
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Celebrates Opening of Spring City 66 The design reconnects Kunming’s pedestrian pathways as it nods to the unique landscape of Yunnan Province. New York, New York – February 21, 2020 – Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) recently celebrated the opening of Spring City 66, a mixed-use development in Kunming, China. One of the largest commercial complexes in the city, the 430,000 m2 Spring City 66 is comprised of a retail podium and office tower that are carefully integrating into the surrounding context. Located adjacent to two major pedestrian-friendly boulevards and metro lines, Spring City 66’s accessibility and public amenities weave this high-density, mixed-use destination directly into the urban fabric of Kunming. Design Inspiration The design for Spring City 66 is responds to Yunnan Province’s unique landscape and its location along historic trade routes. A landscaped promenade, reminiscent of the region’s verdant valleys, is central to the project, while the surrounding undulating retail podium and a crag-like tower nod to the nearby Shilin Stone Forest’s notable limestone formations. The project’s varied program weaves along multiple levels of terraces lined with shops and restaurants, creating a vibrant destination for the city. “The KPF design for Spring City 66 illustrates our belief that the most compelling architecture strongly expresses the spirit of its place. Kunming is a city of outdoor life, of vibrant color, and exciting topography. This building reflects that character in the shape of its roofs, and in its facade materials. We worked closely with Hang Lung, as we have previously in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong, to weave together varied activities of working, shopping, and dwelling into one urban hive of activity,” notes KPF President and Design Principal James von Klemperer.
