Asia Bankers Club founder and chief executive Kingston Lai sees future potential in property markets in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, New York City, Manchester – but he has reservations about London and cities in Australia.

In addition to the investment club targeting bankers and professionals, Lai also controls Ashton Hawks and Golden Emperor Properties, which aim at high net worth individuals and retail investors, respectively, for overseas real estate.

Amid a number of uncertainties, Lai reckons real estate buyers need to think twice. “But the more uncertainty people see from the trade war, the more they are interested in properties in Vietnam, where more manufacturers are expected to move from China.” He says a recent project in HCMC received an overwhelming response.

“Even if the Hong Kong property market were to fall, would flats now valued at HK$10 million plunge to HK$5 million? However, two-room apartments sized between 700 and 1,000 square feet in district 2 and 4 in HCMC cost around HK$2 million and they have the potential to rise further.”

He compares these areas to Sheung Wan, close to the central business district. Apartments further away from the CBD cost around HK$1.2 million only.

Property prices in HCMC have risen on average 15 percent a year over the past three years, compared with as much as 30 percent a year in Bangkok several years ago, says Lai. On average, there is 8 percent gross rental yield in HCMC, he says.

District 1 is the traditional CBD and district 3 is where many embassies and historical buildings are located. Investors have been looking at districts 2 and 4. Last month, the HCMC administration decided that no high-rise apartment projects in districts 1 and 3 will be approved until 2020. Lai expects supply to be even tighter.

He is also bullish on the property market in Hanoi, where Samsung, Apple and Microsoft have invested. The World Bank projected GDP growth in Vietnam to be 6.8 percent in 2018 and 6.5 percent in 2019.

Although Koreans and Japanese are the top foreign investors in Vietnam, Lai says they are not keen on buying properties, unlike Hong Kong and mainland Chinese, who can rent the flats to them. “You can compare HCMC and Hanoi with Shanghai and Beijing, respectively, but we are yet to find a Shenzhen in Vietnam,” Lai says.

Overseas people can buy property in Vietnam and sell or lease it to locals and foreigners. A 50-year leasehold ownership will be given to foreigners with renewal possibility.

When buying a property in Vietnam, investors are subject to 0.5 percent stamp duty. For rental income, they are subject to about 10 percent income tax. If they want to sell the property, 2 percent personal income tax of the selling price will be charged.

Foreigners need to have a bank account in Vietnam and need to sign the sales agreement in person. Mortgages are not available. He says the firm has helped a client to gain about 16 percent to buy and sell a property in Vietnam within a year.

Lai, a Malaysian Chinese, says it takes time to assess the political situation back home. He adds that properties in Singapore are too expensive to buy.

Investors in Thailand property should be cautious. Lai says that a studio in Bangkok near a metro station costs between HK$1 million and HK$2 million, while those costing only HK$500,000 may be in very remote areas that will be difficult to sell or rent out.

As for developed markets, Lai sees potential in New York City.

Sellers have been cutting prices there with less demand due to a tax reform that changes the mortgage interest and property tax deduction, making home ownership less attractive.

While this also applies to foreigners, Lai says some Hong Kong buyers note that the US-HK dollar peg minimizes currency risk. They expect long-term capital gain in New York City center, where there is continuing redevelopment and population growth.

Despite the interest among locals for London homes, Lai is cautious in the wake of Brexit and the high costs of investing there. He sees more potential in Manchester, which he believes could be a future London, Liverpool and Birmingham.

In Australia, Lai says banks will only provide construction financing to developers if they have sold a substantial amount of an uncompleted project. He worries some developers may struggle.

He also sees potential in Japanese real estate but the company does not have expertise there. “We only sell projects that we can manage. We sell about 1,000 units a year. We try our best to ensure customers’ properties are well-managed and can be rented out,” he says. “Selling projects by major developers is one of the ways in which we have peace of mind.”

He and his team carry out due diligence and even buy properties themselves to experience the process. Six months were spent studying the property market in Vietnam before identifying projects.

Ashton Hawks and Golden Emperor Properties serve clients with different needs.

“If you tell me HK$1 million cash is all that you have, I won’t tell you to place it all into a property in Vietnam.

“Instead, we have helped a retired customer to spend HK$500,000 to buy a condo in Thailand for his own use and the rest for his spending.

“Customers like bankers may bet on some properties in Southeast Asia and at the same time invest in London, or New York City, for long-term stable growth.”

越南可望成為中美貿易戰的主要受益者

胡志明市房地產市場價格快速成長

(2018年7月27日，香港)

中美貿易戰－越南如何受益？

隨著美國總統川普近期提出對200種中國商品加徵高額關稅，中美貿易戰拉開了序幕。對兩國出口商品徵收高額貿易關稅。沒有捲入衝突的越南預計將成為這兩個超級大國競爭對手之間的潛在受益者。

過去十年，中國工廠薪資和其他成本快速上漲，企業紛紛轉向越南等東南亞發展中國家投資。三星和蘋果等大公司的外國投資者已將其製造工廠轉移到越南，因為越南成為投資者成本較低的目的地。中美貿易戰加速了外國企業從中國轉向越南的現有趨勢，以避免「中國製造」商品的高關稅。

越南統計總局透露，2018年上半年越南共吸引外商直接投資203.3億美元，其中製造業和後生產業吸引外商直接投資最多，總計7.91美元十億。 FDI 部門約佔全國出口額的 70%，相當於 GDP 的 22%。由於中美貿易戰導致越南出口增加，將引發勞動力需求增加，成為產出（GDP）和就業成長的關鍵驅動力。所有這些因素促進了經濟的蓬勃發展，推動了該國房地產市場的快速成長。

Waterina Suites – 越南最高標準住宅大樓

Waterina Suites 是由世界級開發商 Maeda Corporation（日本）和 Thien Duc Company 合資開發的房地產項目。 Waterina Suites 坐落於被稱為城市外籍人士區的第 2 區的中心地帶，地理位置優越，備受投資者青睞。第二區透過守添隧道和即將建成的守添大橋距離市中心僅幾分鐘路程，可與香港西九龍區相媲美。一系列便利設施距離酒店僅幾分鐘路程——著名的國際學校、胡志明市的「SOHO」區、餐廳、酒吧、豪華酒店、超市、購物中心和電影院，這是便利與奢華的融合。

Waterina Suites由世界著名的日本新國家體育場首席建築師隈研吾先生設計，是大師創作的藝術品。其優雅的重疊弧形設計將成為胡志明市未來的地標之一，靈感來自於西貢河的有機曲線和越南高地的層層梯田，單位可欣賞西貢河的壯麗景色以及周圍的景觀花園。

Waterina Suites 樓高 25 層，裙樓由 98 間豪華套房組成，包括頂層公寓、複式公寓和單層公寓，配有自己的停車場、游泳池、水療中心和商務中心。它提供各種最先進的設施，包括俯瞰西貢河的宏偉無邊際泳池、商務中心、酒吧、圖書館和餐廳，讓居民盡情享受奢華的生活方式。 Waterina Suites是前田集團在越南的重點項目之一，以日本標準建造。採用最好的材料和施工方法——廚房通風系統、外牆彈性塗料以增加抗裂性、混凝土牆以避免漏水以及屋頂板的隔音和防水。作為一名屢獲殊榮的開發商，Maeda Thien Duc 致力於在這座越南最高標準的住宅建築中為居民提供最佳的生活體驗。預計將於 2019 年第三季完成。

胡志明市第 2 區無與倫比的基礎設施

胡志明市第二區正在建造的地鐵系統被認為將進一步推高土地和房地產價格。規劃有6條地鐵線路，其中地鐵1號線和地鐵2號線兩條預計於2020年投入運營，日均乘客量約16萬人次。與該市其他地區擁有類似設施的項目相比，即將建成的地鐵線路周圍的項目目前的售價高出幾個百分點。 2020年地鐵線路開通後，預計差距將擴大10%至20%。第二區的中心是即將建成的地鐵站週邊的關鍵區域，該區域的房地產開發熱潮在過去幾年中平均成長超過30%，表現優於胡志明市其他地區。

Waterina Suites 的領先開發商 – Maeda Corporation

前田株式會社總部位於日本，在東京證券交易所上市，是日本民用、工業和基礎建設領域規模最大、歷史最悠久的公司之一。前田株式會社成立於 1919 年，業務遍及全球，在全球 15 個國家設有分公司。其在日本的重點項目包括東京鐵塔、天王洲中央塔、福岡巨蛋、田倉大壩、瀨戶大橋、東京灣Aqua Line等。

前田公司是香港國際機場、香港昂船洲大橋、青衣港鐵站、西九龍高速公路等香港重大工程的總承包商。作為 HCMC Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien 地鐵站的承包商，Maeda Corporation 也已在越南紮根超過 25 年，採用越南的現代技術和日本品質。

Maeda Corporation 與 Thien Duc Company 成立了一家合資企業，開發著名的 Waterina Suites。 Thien Duc 公司隸屬於 Long Thanh 高爾夫公司，專門從事房地產開發、酒店業和綠色能源。

前田公司代表、Maeda Thien Duc 公司總經理 Tetsuo Kida 博士表示：「Waterina Suites 與眾不同，是超級富裕人士的完美選擇。我們設計這座宏偉的公寓是為了為我們的居民提供非凡的體驗，特別是對於居住在這座城市的日本僑民來說。作為豪華房地產市場上最受尊敬和最受追捧的品牌之一，我們努力在所有房地產項目中保持卓越的標準。隨著胡志明市豪華房產需求的大幅增長，我們未來的計劃是繼續在越南建造具有日本最高標準的特色房產。

Ashton Hawks董事總經理Kingston Lai先生補充說：「越南房地產市場可以受益於中美貿易戰的正面影響。作為中國「世界工廠」的競爭對手，預計將越來越多的工廠遷往越南，因為「越南製造」產品進口到美國時可以避免高額關稅，特別是農產品和農產品。預計越南對中國和美國的出口將隨著GDP的成長而增加。人均GDP的上升將增加越南人的購買力，進而增加房屋市場的需求。可以預見，在中美貿易戰之後，越南房地產市場的本地總需求將會更多。

Waterina Suites 將於 2018 年 8 月 4 日至 5 日在香港柏寧酒店（銅鑼灣告士打道 310 號 26 樓）舉行開幕儀式。

憑藉蓬勃發展的經濟背景下的蓬勃發展的豪華房地產市場和低廉的入門價格，更不用說其豐富的文化遺產、風景如畫的海灘和令人垂涎的美食，越南正迅速成為亞洲最熱門的旅遊和居住目的地之一。

作為東南亞經濟的穩定領跑者，越南的GDP成長速度已超過中國。此外，CEIC和星展銀行經濟學家預測，越南經濟可能在未來十年內大幅成長，並在2029年超過新加坡。儘管全球經濟放緩對世界各地大大小小的國家造成影響，但越南是個例外。

原因之一是貿易戰促使許多製造商遷往越南以逃避增加的關稅。作為全國最大的城市，胡志明市是最具成長潛力的經濟中心。

關於品牌住宅

品牌住宅概念的始創者可追溯到1920年代，紐約第五大道的Sherry-Netherland Hotel酒店將酒店式服務融入服務式住宅並獲得相當的銷售成績。自此以後，隨著全球流動性高淨值人口不斷增加及熱烈支持下，品牌住宅在環球市場亦跟隨大市變得愈來愈受歡迎。

據第一太平戴維斯2019年環球研究報告顯示，全球擁有超過420個品牌住宅項目，而萬豪國際集團是品牌住宅市場領域中全球最大參與者。該集團旗下持有100個品牌住宅橫跨25個國家及地區，是集團在其全球四大焦點運營項目其中之一。集團在其30個領先酒店企業中的15個品牌作開展其品牌住宅項目，目前由萬豪（Marriott）、JW萬豪（JW Marriott）、麗思卡爾頓（Ritz-Carlton），瑞吉（St. Regis）及W酒店所運營的有關項目約佔近70％。萬豪國際之品牌業務十分廣泛，意味由該集團所發展之項目不受地方及發展類型所限，於紐約、上海或曼谷開拓之品牌住宅仍能將展示與越南品牌住宅之同一樣的卓越水準。

品牌住宅於環球奢侈品市場具有多項優勢，無論在全球流動性、質量設計、安全品質、所提供之優質卓越服務，以及名牌出品對富豪所帶來之巨大吸引力等，在在都突顯其獨特優勢。事實證明，對於富裕階層來說，奢侈品牌都具有相當的吸引力，更被視為成功人士，以及財富和身份地位的象徵。儘管品牌住宅定價相對較高，但所提供的服務利益及物業本身潛在價值卻是物超所值。因此，品牌住宅能夠吸引富裕階層青睞，憑藉其擁有國際認可的相關榮譽，能夠充份優化及活力社區，彰顯優質生活水平，以及市場對其有限供應之熱烈喝求，難怪吸引富豪精英高度注視。

隨著本月稍早市場重新開放，英格蘭各地的購屋者需求激增 88%。

房地產網站 Zoopla 表示，每週上漲發生在 5 月 12 日（英格蘭市場將重新開放的那一天）到 5 月 19 日之間。

南海岸和英格蘭北部城市的需求反彈尤其迅速。

紐卡斯爾和利茲的需求成長強勁，而牛津、利物浦和曼徹斯特的需求也有所增加。

Zoopla 表示，對 2000 人進行的研究發現，英國各地大約 60% 的潛在買家打算繼續他們的計劃。

但大約十分之四的潛在買家表示，他們已經擱置了計劃，理由是市場不確定性、收入損失以及對未來財務信心下降等因素。

Zoopla 表示，隨著英格蘭房地產市場重新開放，買家需求比 3 月初高出 20%。

該網站表示，預計在冠狀病毒封鎖之前商定的很大一部分銷售將繼續下去，但表示經濟前景不確定性的增加將在未來幾週內考驗房地產連鎖店。

Zoopla 研究和洞察總監 Richard Donnell 表示：「住房需求反彈的規模對房地產經紀人和開發商來說是個好消息，但考慮到失業率急劇上升和經濟大幅下滑的預測，這一消息也令人驚訝。

唐納爾表示，他預計人們在未來幾週內會更加謹慎。

他表示：「我們預計，隨著買家和賣家開始更加謹慎，未來幾週需求的最新反彈將會放緩。政府的進一步支持不容忽視，這將有助於限制下行風險的規模。
