Hong Kong land sales

Chinese companies see HK sites as cheap compared to the mainland

With land and asset costs rising in China, more mainland developers are moving into Hong Kong, seeing bargains in one of the world’s most expensive real estate markets, according to headlines in the regional media today. Also, one of the SAR’s biggest developers sees profits rise by 14 percent this year, and there’s much more in the news if you just read on.

Mainland Developers Gorge on “Cheap” HK Sites

Cash-rich developers from the mainland are on a shopping spree in Hong Kong and are leaving no stone unturned to corner prime real estate in the city.

Though the shopping spree comes at a time when property prices on the mainland have recovered, experts said developers are still bullish on Hong Kong realty as it offers better returns amid yuan and land price fluctuations on the mainland. Read more>>

Sportscar lover Raymond Lee Wai-man, the chief executive of global property consultant Savills Greater China, has brokered more than HK$14 billion in property deals involving some of Hong Kong’s most important office buildings in the past eight months, leaving his rivals in the dust.

Now the owner of a Ferrari 458 Italia, Lee runs a high-powered investment team with more than 30 staff which accounted for 67 per cent of the total transaction value for deals worth HK$100 million or more since January, according to an internal Savills assessment, up from 58 per cent for the whole of 2015.

Developer Shares Rise 37% on HK Exchange in 2016

Hong Kong real estate shares haven’t been this hot since the city’s last housing bubble burst almost two decades ago. The industry’s benchmark equity gauge has surged 37% from this year’s low in January, climbing to the highest level versus Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index in 19 years on July 29.

The last time property companies performed that well relative to the broader market was October 1997, just before the Asian financial crisis sparked a collapse in Hong Kong’s real estate market. While few are predicting another plunge of that magnitude, the outperformance is ringing alarm bells for investors who worry that property shares have climbed too far, too fast. Read more>>
