Signs of rebound as rents surge 20pc at mega tower

Rents at Two IFC, Hong Kong's premier Grade-A office tower, rose by up to 20 per cent in the third quarter, real estate agents said.
More than half of the 88-storey mega tower is now leased, with 100,000 square feet being let since the signing of the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (Cepa).

Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency executive director Victor Lui said rents had rebounded by 15 to 20 per cent, or HK$25 to HK$35 psf, in August and September.
Lui said the developers had also slashed rent-free period offers from up to six months to three months as the market strengthened.
Property consultant FPDSavills said investment bank UBS Warburg had agreed to lease six floors from the 47th to 52nd floors, an area of 146,000 sq ft, for 10 years.
On the overall grade-A office market, average rents fell 4 per cent in the third quarter, the smallest fall since the second quarter of 2001, senior director (research) Simon Smith said. ``Modest declines were noted across all business districts and reflect gradually improving sentiment which is helping to stabilise rents.''
Jones Lang LaSalle's head of research for Greater China, Nelson Wong, said grade-A office rents in Central had stabilised at HK$15 to HK$18 psf.
"The fall in grade-A office rents has narrowed to less than 10 per cent, from the average drop of over 10 per cent each quarter in recent years,'' Wong said. About 3 million square feet of Grade-A office space in Central is vacant, he said.

Wong expected rents would stabilise next year while FPDSavills' Smith predicted a pick-up in the second half of next year.
"With rents having fallen more aggressively than expected, we believe better economic conditions and the recent announcement of Cepa will stabilise rents in 2004,'' Chris Marriott, FPDSavills' deputy managing director said.
