WHEN CULTURAL VALUE BECOMES COMMERCIAL VALUE AND TRANSFORMS INTO INVESTMENT GAINS.

• The total shophouse transaction value amounted to S$880.7 million in 2020, riding out the pandemic with only a slight 3.8% year-on-year (y-o-y) decline when compared to the S$915.9 million recorded in 2019, as sales in Q4 2020 rebounded to surpass pre-pandemic levels. Gross sales value in the quarter alone accounted for almost half of 2020 shophouse sales value at S$431.8 million.
• The shophouse sales volume was also greater in 2020 compared to the previous year, with 138 transactions lodged as compared to 123 in 2019 (Exhibit 1). The majority (88.4%) sold were freehold shophouses. Q4 2020 saw a total of 51 shophouse transactions, 19 more than in Q3 when sales started to recover.
• Aided by lower costs of borrowing and high liquidity in the market, pent-up demand from different pools of buyers such as first-time investors as well as family offices and corporates contributed to the overall recovery of the shophouse market, especially towards the last quarter of the year. Price expectations between buyers and sellers were realistically met, leading to the materialisation of sales.

厳しい市場にもチャンスは残されている

パンデミックとそれに起因する経済ショックに見舞われた年であったが、中国は急速に立ち直り、2020年の経済拡大を記録した数少ない国のひとつとなった。2021年に向けて、生活、仕事、経済の多くの側面が、デジタル技術の大幅な進歩と採用の拡大によって根本的に変化している。とはいえ、COVID-19の前の段階から、債務水準、気候変動問題、経済の安定性など、根強く残る大きな構造的問題にも取り組んでいく。.

不動産市場では、2021年に課題と機会がもたらされる。住宅販売セクターはデレバレッジのための規制強化に直面し、成長が鈍化し需要が抑制される。しかし、資本を持つ人々は、富を蓄え、維持し、成長させるために投資を続けるだろう。渡航制限により、出向者や帰国駐在員の数は制限されているが、事業者は、リースの利点に気づきつつある地元顧客層の増加に合わせて、サービスや施設を迅速に調整している。商業セクターは供給過剰に直面しているが、クリエイティブな環境を育み、テナントの柔軟性を高めることができる家主は市場シェアを維持できるだろう。オンライン・プラットフォームが小売売上高に占める割合は引き続き拡大しているが、ユニークな体験や社会的交流への渇望により、実店舗がブランドと消費者を結ぶ重要な接点であり続けている。. 

物流セクターの成長は、規制や厳しい土地許可に阻まれているが、3PLやeコマース・プラットフォームからの需要は依然として旺盛だ。投資が後退し、ベンダーが資金調達の制限からより大きなプレッシャーを感じる中、より高い成長の機会を求めて伝統的な商業セクターからの投資は敬遠されてきたが、機会が現れ始めており、活動レベルは回復し始めると予想される。. 

寻路向前

尽管2020年初爆发疫情带来巨大冲击，但中国经济迅速反弹，成为全年经济同比增长的少数几个国家之一伴随数字技术的进步和广推，我们的生活，工作和经济活动都在发生变化，此外也需积极应对债务，气候，经济稳定等长期存在的结构性挑战。

2021年的房地产市场挑战和机遇并存。住宅销售市场正面临监管加码，短期市场需求或将因此受限，但市场中长期价值前景并未改变，仍是财富保值及增值的重要去向。高端租赁市场持续演进，旅行限制影响外籍租客需求，但本地租客需求上升、日趋多样，为业主带来调整机会。写字楼市场存在局部供应放量，而能为租户创造创意环境和灵活空间的业主将占据优势。零售商纷纷发力电商平台，但顾客对独特体验和社交互动的诉求说明，实体店依然是品牌和消费者沟通的重要渠道。

物流行业的增长受到政策和土地许可的限制，但来自第三方物公司和电子商务平台的需求有增无减。物流和数据中心的高增长潜力令一些投资者从统物业领域转向利资产。

Hong Kong’s investment momentum turned sluggish in 2020, with the total Hong Kong’s investment momentum turned sluggish in 2020, with the total transaction volume dropping 47%YOY to HKD 60.1 billion (USD 7.7 billion), a record low over the last decade.

Most investors have been taking a wait-and-see approach throughout 2020, given the market was still shadowed by different layers of uncertainty. Meanwhile, the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent travel restrictions also likely deterred some site visits and investment decisions, especially for those investors with decision-makers abroad, making local and mainland capital the key buyers.

Whilst the property market in Hong Kong has been undergoing a correction across most commercial sectors, the gradual increase in yields in the last two years prompted investors to look for distressed assets or properties with bigger discounts, despite their limited availability. The bid-ask dislocation remained the key hurdle for investment transactions over the last 12months. 

China Real Estate Market 2021 – Finding The Way Forward

2020 has been a challenging year for all. With China now seemingly on its way to a full recovery, Savills has published its China market overview and outlook “Finding a way Forward, 2021”, which analyses key drivers and trends of five asset classes and the property management sector. 

投資： National transaction volumes decreased YoY, while niche assets increased their share of investments to all-time highs. 

オフィス： Occupiers look to optimise their office portfolios through flexible space arrangements while also securing cost savings. 

小売り： Landlords increase the share of leisure tenants in malls to attract consumers back to the high-street. 

Residential: Upgrade and end-user demand supports the stable market foundations, while the multi-family sector sees new regulations to protect tenant rights. 

Logistics: New infrastructure initiatives will level up warehouse standards and scale. Transparency and asset liquidity is also expected to improve with the launch of REITs. 

Property management: New IPOs saw a record high in 2020, while PropTech opens the way for additional value-added services.

With the acceleration of digitalisation as well as changing consumer behaviour, it is imperative for retail tenants and landlords alike to adapt to the rapidly-evolving multiplatform retail scene to remain relevant, retaining the physical shopper catchment in shopping malls through an online presence. Malls should no longer purely be just a point of sale, but also extend towards being a focal point that incorporates meaningful and memorable experiences that are able to resonate with the varying consumer needs. This would make for an in-store shopping environment that is more enjoyable and appealing than just traditional brick-and-mortar shopping or mere e-commerce, as part of their placemaking strategy.

With Singapore in Phase Three of Re-Opening, increased footfall to retail spaces is expected with the relaxation of measures for gatherings and a majority of the workforce back to the workplace.

The recent slowdown in rental declines of prime retail spaces point to a potential bottoming out of rents by early 2021, and any rental reduction during the year is projected to be about 5%, barring lockdowns as a result of recurring community infections. Rentals of prime retail spaces located in Orchard might require a bit more time to recover and are expected to only return to pre-COVID-19 levels once mass vaccinations prove successful enough for the nation as well other key cities to relax travel restrictions.

Most property markets in the Asia Pacific region ended a challenging year on the path to recovery, thanks to strong performances by the office, industrial and logistics segments. In China, a combination of government policies and the ongoing e-commerce boom powered demand for business parks and warehouses. Hong Kong saw a jump in transactions after the government reduced stamp duty on the sale of commercial properties, while Singapore saw a surge in investment sales amid improving sentiment. The market outlook improved in Australia as the country bounced back quickly from a recession, while New Zealand continued to reap the benefits of its successful management of COVID-19. Vietnam, which also has managed to control the spread of COVID-19 and perform better than other Southeast Asian economies in 2020, is attracting the attention of a growing number of local and foreign investors, especially in the industrial and logistics sectors. Japan is another market where logistics assets are highly sought after, reflecting growing demand from the e-commerce sector. In Indonesia, the hard-hit hospitality sector saw a surge in interest from investors looking to acquire discounted hotel assets, while fast-growing Myanmar continued to draw interest in the logistics and affordable housing segments. The residential segment is also seen trending up in the Philippines, where remittances from overseas workers is driving demand. Overall, investors are expected to act quickly to make the most of a conducive environment as markets across the region emerge from lockdowns and economies regain momentum.
