4. 再有一家日資百貨進駐本港。UNY(香港)旗下針對年輕客群的日式家居生活百貨新品牌PIAGO,將會首次登陸香港,租用九龍灣德福廣場7萬平方呎,佔現租戶宜家傢俬約70%樓面,租約期為6年,租金較宜家的租約升幅達15%。新店佔共兩層,包括超級市場及生活家品兩個專區,於明年初開業。港鐵總商場事務經理伍翠樂表示,PIAGO將於2011年初進駐德福廣場,面積7萬平方呎,會取代宜家傢俬現租用的4、5樓位置;至於3樓的位置(3萬多平方呎)已有另一日資零售品牌承租,商戶名稱稍後公布。宜家傢俬的租約期同為6年(2004至2010年),店舖將於今年7月交吉,搬往同區MegaBox。(明報)
5. 樓市持續暢旺,但產業署早前趁勢招標的九龍郝德傑道前政府宿舍卻在土地市場供應增加下,最終因三份標書均「未到價」,令該物業五年內先後二次遭遇「流標」的下場。地產界人士認為,項目景觀等因素影響發展商的出價意慾,建議政府集齊業權再推出,將較具吸引力。產業署發言人證實,早前郝德傑道前政府宿舍接獲的三份標書由於出價全部低於該署所評定的市值,所以全部落選。產業署將參考是次招標的經驗,探討處置有關物業的方案。(信報財經新聞)

3. China plans to more than double its land supply for housing development this year. More than 70% of the total will be for affordable housing, renovating shanty home areas and small- and medium-sized apartments, as it bids to curb rising home prices by increasing the supply of homes for people with medium to low income. Under an annual land plan announced yesterday by the Ministry of Land and Resources, the land supply for residential use in 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, excluding Tibet, will likely reach 180,000 ha in 2010, compared with 76,461 ha in 2009 and an average of 54,650 ha over the past 5 years, according to Liao Yonglin, a department director overseeing the country's land use and management. In particular, 77% of the land supply will be used to build affordable houses, shanty home renovations and small- and medium-sized apartments. Small- and medium-sized apartments will take up 80,431 ha, exceeding the amount of residential plots offered across the country during 2009. (Shanghai Daily).
