The Korea Herald
[Affinity tapped as preferred bidder for SK Rent-a-Car] SK Networks has chosen Affinity Equity Partners, a private equity fund headquartered in Hong Kong, as its preferred bidder for the sale of its ownership stake in SK Rent-a-Car, the nation's No. 2 rental car service company. SK Networks intends to divest all of its shares in an estimated deal worth some 850 billion won ($613 million). Both parties plan to conduct due diligence before finalizing the contract, SK Networks said in a regulatory filing Tuesday. Following the merger of AJ Rent-a-Car with SK Networks' rental car business in 2019, SK Rent-a-Car quickly became the second largest player in Korea's car rental market, trailing only Lotte Rental. At the time, SK Networks purchased a 42 percent stake in AJ Rent-a-Car for 300 billion won and rebranded to SK Rent-A-Car a year later.

團結香港基金 Our Hong Kong Foundation
Ryan Ip, CFA, MRICS, Vice President cum Co-Head of Public Policy Institute, 團結香港基金 Our Hong Kong Foundation, was interviewed by Now TV for his views on land resources and the development of the Northern Metropolis. According to Ryan, despite the developers had actively exchanged land in the original area in the past, the majority of them did not do so last year. In the light of the short-term return pressure and higher interest costs, the developers have been refrained from reaching a consensus with the government on the issue of land premium. He suggested the government, in addition to traditional auctions, to adopt other more flexible land allocation methods, such as referring to the development of parks in the mainland China, allowing park developers to contract a large area of land and to send move-in invitations to companies by themselves. Ryan is not worried about the land resumption situation in the Northern Metropolis. However, there are 2 aspects to be considered. Firstly, for transportation facilities, since the Northen Link is not expected to be fully completed until 2034, and the schedule of another railway line from Hung Shui Kiu to Qianhai is not yet available, the development of transportation facilities probably is too time consuming to keep up with the development of Northern Metropolis. Secondly, for attracting investments, even with sufficient land, having enterprises to operate here is needed. Whether leading enterprises can be invited to settle here is also the key to the development. Ryan emphasized on the importance of land planning and land reserves. Regardless of whether the economy is good or bad, the government is suggested not to stop building land so as to be well-prepared in case of any emergencies.

Hong Kong's economy continues to display resilience as the city navigates its way through various external headwinds and structural shifts. Growth is occurring across many sectors, with some industries performing on a level comparable to pre-pandemic times. Despite a multitude of challenges, the situation is not as dire as some market commentators suggest. Our latest research unveils that some sectors are already performing at pre-pandemic levels. The revival of the mainland Chinese economy, policy support from the central government, and public sector investment are all opening doors for corporations and investors. The city is undergoing a transformation from a traditional services economy to a hybrid one, bolstered by both the financial and tech industries. This shift is poised to elevate Hong Kong up the value chain and lay a robust foundation for long-term growth. With Hong Kong's economy continuing to recover, real estate demand will strengthen in the coming months, presenting opportunities for landlords and boosting investment activity as interest rates fall. However, property owners must adapt to overcome challenges posed by oversupply in the office sector and changes in retail consumption patterns. Don’t miss our latest research report for more insights! https://lnkd.in/gWrij4PV #cbre

In this last of our article series on Hong Kong housing, we talk about the importance and future positioning of government subsidised sale flats. Our analysis showed that Hong Kong’s housing supply for the past two decades has seen an M-shaped pattern, with subsidised sale flats (SSFs) accounting for only about 15% of the total housing stock. Yet, nearly 38% of households are eligible for SSFs based on their income levels. Therefore, we propose to increase the supply of SSFs to further enhance the housing ladder and promote upward social mobility. However, recent sale experiences have shown that the selling price of SSFs often falls behind market changes, resulting in a low take-up rate. Small units have also been unpopular, with units of less than 300 square feet accounting for the majority of unsold units and cases of forfeitures. To increase the attractiveness of future SSFs, the government should be more flexible in its pricing strategy and increase the size of newly completed units.

My latest article in Hong Kong Economic Times on the outlook of private housing supply in the next decade. Here are the key points: 1. Private housing completions in the next five years will tail off after initial highs. Annual completions for 2024 and 2025 will reach over 20,000 units each, then tailing off to around 15,000 to 17,000 units annually. 2. Kowloon City (including Kai Tak), Tai Po, and Sai Kung will be the top three districts with the largest supply in the next five years. Together, they account for more than 40% of all new private housing completions during the period. 3. As land creation enters a “harvest phase”, the Government has greater flexibility to adjust the quantity and pace of land supply. Average annual completions for 2029 to 2033 are expected to be between 14,400 and 18,500 units. #oped #privatehousing #supply #outlook #harvestphase

My latest column article on Hong Kong Economic Times and iMoney 智富雜誌. My comments on the supply stat published by Housing Bureau: 1. Demand for pre-sale flats is obviously not as strong as the peak time at Q3 2021 yet, though market sentinment has improved since the removal of stamp duties. 2. Purchasing power is still insufficient due to high interest rates. It would improve when the mortgage rates were down to around the 3% mark. 3. The number of unsold new flats still matters. The destocking of another 10,000 units would put the prices back on the uptrend.

We have just launched our ESG research report today. With a survey on 181 office buildings in Hong Kong, some key takeaways: 1. Every enhancement of ESG-related criteria can contribute to up to 17.1% of rental premium for Hong Kong office buildings. 2. Sustainable certification is becoming a screening criterion to avoid brown discounts. 3. About 43% of buildings surveyed conducted sustainable buildings accreditation, and more to come. 4. Integrating ESG-related criteria beyond sustainable certifications unlocks substantial green premiums. 5. The top three ESG-related criteria considered rental sensitive in Hong Kong are EV charging infrastructure, Art and Culture Integration, and Green Pledge. Check out the full report below.

CBRE is targeting Hong Kong's mid-range market with its new sub-brand, Value Properties, to serve customers seeking properties outside prime areas. This initiative aims to capture a trend where tenants opt for smaller spaces amid a sluggish economy and high interest rates. "We have seen a lot more smaller size deals, and the launch of Value Properties focuses on this segment to expand our market share," said Ada Fung, head of advisory and transaction services at CBRE Hong Kong. CBRE has 88 million sq ft of grade A stock and 48 million sq ft of non-grade A office stock. Value Properties will initially target office spaces and later expand to retail and industrial spaces. "In the last three years, 80 percent of office leasing deals were for spaces under 5,000 sq ft," noted Fung. "No other property agencies have a dedicated platform for this segment, giving CBRE an edge." Michael Wong, senior director at Value Properties, emphasized the focus on mid-size occupiers: "We are talking about 3,000 to 5,000 sq ft for office tenants, especially SMEs, start-ups, or potential tenants from mainland China or overseas." The website, valueproperties.com.hk, will feature non-premium office spaces and short video clips for prospective tenants. "Occupiers can search for property online, anytime, anywhere," Wong added. Value Properties plans to expand its broker force from three to eight or ten by year-end. "We are leveraging our expertise to develop this platform as the best of its kind," said Ada Fung. "Even local SMEs and start-ups can access our market intelligence and service at Value Properties." #CBRE #Growth #CRE #Rightsizing #Efficiency #RealEstate #Occupiers #FlexibleSpace #Investment #HongKong I South China Morning Post SCMP I Cheryl Arcibal l CBRE Asia Pacific

From diversification to growth, our latest Hines research paper highlights the significant benefits of an Asia real estate allocation within a global investment mix. Hype and headlines may affect sentiments, but I believe what ultimately drives long-term returns are fundamentals. Very simply, these are pointing in a positive direction for Asia real estate. With pockets of value emerging in the current cyclical reset, this is a vintage investors should be watching closely. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g4TmV6u8 #Asia #RealEstate #Investment
