Causeway Bay had been #1 across the globe in&#13;<br \/>\nretail rental value in the last 2 years. Yet, its position was taken over by&#13;<br \/>\nTsim Sha Tsui in 2020. Retail rental dropped by 42% and 35% year-on-year for&#13;<br \/>\nCentral and Tsim Sha Tsui respectively. On average, retail space rental value citywide&#13;<br \/>\nhas fell by 38% in Hong Kong \u00a0over the&#13;<br \/>\ncourse of 2020. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ownership&#13;<br \/>\ndiversity is the key differentiator between Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway&#13;<br \/>\nBay retail rental performance. Ownership of Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, the&#13;<br \/>\nmain shopping area, is more centralized when compared with Russell Street of&#13;<br \/>\nCauseway Bay. In times of crisis, centralized ownership allows for more&#13;<br \/>\nflexible measures to retain tenants, thus maintaining a more stable trade mix&#13;<br \/>\nwith a cluster of renowned brands with optimal brand impact,&#8221; said <b>Mr. Kevin&#13;<br \/>\nLam, Cushman &amp; Wakefield&#8217;s Executive Director, Head of Retail Services,&#13;<br \/>\nHong Kong<\/b>. &#8220;Looking ahead, with international travel made possible again&#13;<br \/>\ntowards the later part of 2021, together with a stable trade mix, we would&#13;<br \/>\nexpect retail rental performance to recover first in Tsim Sha Tsui district for the same reason,&#8221; <b>Mr. Lam<\/b>&#13;<br \/>\ncontinued.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>However, the retail sector in Mainland&#13;<br \/>\nChina had the least disruption amongst all the markets in the region, with&#13;<br \/>\naverage rental declines of 5%. In contrast to the Beijing Central Business&#13;<br \/>\nDistrict (CBD) which had a 14% decrease in rental in 2020, the Luohu district&#13;<br \/>\nin Shenzhen saw the largest rental growth of 5%. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><b>Mr. Keith Chan, Cushman &amp; Wakefield&#8217;s Director, Head of Research,&#13;<br \/>\nHong Kong<\/b>, commented, &#8220;Hong Kong&#13;<br \/>\nremained in the top position regardless of the average retail rental drop of&#13;<br \/>\n38% in 2020. Tsim Sha Tsui still sits 31% above the second place, Ginza of&#13;<br \/>\nTokyo. This reflects the exceptionally high retail rentals in Hong Kong&#13;<br \/>\nregardless of the pandemic outbreak and economic downturn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The key market drivers in&#13;<br \/>\noperation due to COVID-19, namely international border closures, lockdowns and&#13;<br \/>\nwork-from-home practices have been universally felt across the region.

In a 2020 global survey&#13;<br \/>\nof 8,000 consumers carried out by <i>Rakuten Advertising<\/i>, 50% of households&#13;<br \/>\nresponded that they had purchased more from local businesses. Furthermore,&#13;<br \/>\nconsumers in Asia Pacific were more likely to avoid making international online&#13;<br \/>\npurchases, showing a preference to spend their money domestically. <\/li>\n<li>Growth of e-commerce \u2013 The pandemic has inevitably increased online&#13;<br \/>\nretailing as lockdowns and health concerns have pushed purchasers onto digital&#13;<br \/>\nplatforms. For the Asia Pacific region, which was already a digitally hungry&#13;<br \/>\nregion, the growth of e-commerce comes as no surprise. The region has a 64%&#13;<br \/>\nshare of global e-commerce at USD2.5 trillion out of a global total of USD3.9&#13;<br \/>\ntrillion, according to <i>e-marketer<\/i>. <\/li>\n<li>The pandemic has also transformed the luxury goods sector with&#13;<br \/>\nonline share of luxury purchases increasing from 12% in 2019 to 23% in 2020,&#13;<br \/>\naccording to <i>Bain &amp; Company<\/i>. However, it remains too early to tell&#13;<br \/>\nif this is a temporary enforced shift or start of a much wider acceptance of&#13;<br \/>\nonline retailing for luxury goods. While consumers of luxury goods generally&#13;<br \/>\nprefer to buy in-store to enjoy the accompanying high-quality service, the&#13;<br \/>\ngrowing presence of omni-channel marketing will have an impact on the evolution&#13;<br \/>\nof the luxury goods sector. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><b><u>Looking Ahead <\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>The retail sector is facing some of the most significant cyclical&#13;<br \/>\nand structural headwinds of all real estate sectors; some of which were in play&#13;<br \/>\nprior to COVID-19 while others have occurred as a result of swift and strict&#13;<br \/>\nrestrictions on domestic and internal population mobility. Such issues have had&#13;<br \/>\na disproportionate impact on high-end retail destinations. It is unlikely that&#13;<br \/>\nthese districts will immediately spring back to pre-COVID performance because of&#13;<br \/>\nthe slow pace of recovery in international travel, but at the same time it does&#13;<br \/>\nnot mean that they will fade into irrelevance. The progress made in the&#13;<br \/>\nroll-out of vaccine programs globally and the gradual return to normalcy will&#13;<br \/>\nalso contribute to the overall recovery of the retail sector. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>For retail, in the near term, this means greater bifurcation in&#13;<br \/>\nconsumer spending; with value-oriented concepts continuing to flourish and&#13;<br \/>\nluxury retail rebounding more quickly. Following the 2008 global financial&#13;<br \/>\ncrisis, global luxury retail generally rebounded within a 12 to 18-month&#13;<br \/>\ntimeline. Evidence from China in 2020 supports this view, which should provide&#13;<br \/>\na dose of optimism to the luxury sector.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>While the focus is understandably on current concerns and difficulties,&#13;<br \/>\nit would be remiss not to keep an eye on longer term opportunities. Over the&#13;<br \/>\nnext decade, the Asia Pacific regional economy will continue to outpace the&#13;<br \/>\nrest of the world and grow from a 36% share to 40%. The middle class is&#13;<br \/>\nforecast to swell by over 1.5 billion over the same period. These trends,&#13;<br \/>\ntogether with the fact that many markets across the region, especially in South&#13;<br \/>\nEast Asia, remain underserved by physical retail floorspace highlight the&#13;<br \/>\nopportunities on offer beyond the current COVID-19 affected conditions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-04-22\/75049\/tsim-sha-tsui-ranked-1-as-the-most-expensive-shopping-street-in-asia-pacific-despite-biggest-rent-drop-in-hong-kongs-history\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rent Declined by 43% for Causeway Bay Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney ranked Top 3 in Asia Pacific HONG KONG&#13; SAR &#8211; Media OutReach &#8211; 22 April 2021 &#8211; Two-thirds of retail strips in Asia Pacific saw&#13; rental declines in 2020, with Causeway Bay in Hong Kong experiencing the&#13; steepest decline at 43%, according to Cushman &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14190"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14190\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
