Greater Bay Area Residential Transactions Stabilized in 2H 2024 With Central Government’s Support

Neighborhood Retail Assets and Industrial/Logistics Sector Gain Investors’ Interest Since the Politburo’s emphasis in its September 2024 meeting that authorities “must work to halt the real estate market decline and spur a stable recovery,” Chinese mainland residential market sentiment has strengthened significantly, supporting a pick-up in primary market home sales Total investment volume in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) commercial real estate (CRE) market recorded RMB44.7 billion in 2024, accounting for 20% of total Chinese mainland CRE investment volume The industrial/ logistics sector became sought-after, accounting for 22% of total investment volume in the GBA, with transaction activity in second-tier GBA cities performing notably well HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 January 2025 – Global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield today published its Greater Bay Area Residential and Investment Market 2024 Review and 2025 Outlook. In reviewing 2024, GBA residential market sentiment remained cautious in the first three quarters, due to the slower-than-expected pace of economic recovery and a lack of confidence among potential buyers. However, since the Central Government emphasized at the Politburo meeting that authorities “must work to halt the real estate market decline and spur a stable recovery,” and put forward stimulus measures targeting both the demand and supply sides, residential transaction activity started to strengthen from October. The CRE investment market also began to show a steady uptrend from Q4 onwards, with neighborhood retail assets and the industrial/ logistics projects being the most sought-after by investors. GBA Residential Market Overall GBA residential market sentiment remained cautious in the first half of 2024 due to the economic slowdown in the Chinese mainland combined with a lack of confidence in the real estate market. Although overall GBA primary market residential transactions picked up in June following the introduction of the “517” new housing policies, the market then gradually digested the favorable impact in the subsequent months, failing to bring a sustained stimulus to residential transactions. In late September, the Central Government then emphasized at the Politburo meeting that authorities “must work to halt the real estate market decline and spur a stable recovery”. Unlike the “517” new housing policies, which mainly targeted the demand side, this time the policies were designed to stimulate the market from both the demand and supply sides. The Central Government also introduced real estate measures summarized as “four cancellations, four reductions, and two additions,” aimed at lowering the cost of entry for buyers,and boosting the market’s confidence in developers’ capital flow by encouraging local governments to use funds from special-purpose bonds to reclaim and acquire idle land and unsold units. Since October, the residential market has become more active, with transaction numbers picking up significantly. Around 40,000 transactions were recorded in the GBA primary residential market in October, growing 70% m-o-m. Transactions through Q4 showed a strong recovery, growing 42% y-o-y and 72% q-o-q, with new home sales in Shenzhen and Guangzhou surging 165% and 72% respectively over the same period last year. These figures reflect that with the support of favorable policies, residential transaction activity in the Greater Bay Area is gradually recovering. Although total primary market transactions for the full-year 2024 reached approximately 318,000 units, a 16% y-o-y drop from 2023, the decline was concentrated in the first three quarters. (Chart 1). Chart 1: GBA First-Hand Residential Sales Primary market home prices are more swayed by the quality level of newly launched projects, and first-hand residential prices in the nine GBA Chinese mainland cities showed a mixed trend in 2H 2024. Secondary market home prices generally better reflect current underlying trends, and National Bureau of Statistics data shows that Shenzhen secondary home prices had been in a correction of -9.2% for the first nine months of 2024. However, since the Central Government introduced a series of stimulus measures for the real estate market in September and October, in particular the special-purpose bonds to improve developers’ cash flow, the sales price index of secondary market residential buildings in Shenzhen has stabilized, with m-o-m increases of 0.7% in October and 0.5% in November. We expect the price index in December to record similar growth to November, narrowing the annual decline to 7.7% (Chart 2). Chart 2: Change in Shenzhen Secondary Home Price Index Alva To, Cushman & Wakefield’s Vice President, Greater China & Head of Consulting, Greater China said, “In reviewing the easing policies introduced in 2H 2024, the Central Government has not only stimulated housing demand but also strived to stabilize supply. Among the measures, we believe the policy of encouraging local governments to use funds from special-purpose bonds to reclaim and acquire idle land and unsold units is the most noteworthy. This is expected to help developers improve their cash flow and liquidity, in turn strengthening market’s confidence in developers’ deliveries, while also ensuring a stable housing supply. Only with the gradual restoration of market confidence can the purchasing power stimulated by easing policies be truly unleashed. Looking ahead to 2025, we believe that the most challenging time is over and that the property market is now gradually stabilizing with the support of the Central Government’s policies. With the support of favorable policies, transaction numbers are likely to be maintained at the current level. We forecast that total first-hand residential transactions in the GBA will increase by 20% to around 380,000 units in 2025, supporting the gradual recovery of home prices.” GBA CRE Investment Market Charli Chan, Cushman & Wakefield’s Deputy Managing Director, Head of HK PRC Team, Capital Markets, said, “After significant downward asset price adjustments in the middle of the year, the GBA CRE investment market began to show a trend of stable recovery trend from Q4 2024. The GBA CRE investment market (large-sized deals at RMB100 million or above) recorded 66 deals totaling RMB44.7 billion for the full-year 2024, decreasing 9% y-o-y, accounting for 20% of the overall Chinese mainland investment market (Chart 3). Of the 66 large-sized deals, 15 were above the RMB1 billion mark, accounting for 23% of the total

It has been a fixture on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list since 2016 and has won the Heering Legend of the List Award as the venue that has performed most consistently in the history of Asia’s 50 Best Bars. The multi-award-winning Antonio is also famed for pioneering the Multisensory Mixology concept, a drinking experience that engages all five senses, and is co-owner of The Opposites, and Draft Land HK, and beverage director of the one-Michelin-starred VEA Restaurant as well as Medora. Co-owner of The Opposites, Samuel Kwok is not only one of Antonio’s closest collaborators, but also a formidable mixology talent in his own right. Previously the bar manager of Quinary, he has also won numerous accolades, including being named the Diageo World Class Hong Kong Hong Kong & Macau Champion. With their creative spark, artistic flair, and contrasting styles, witness two great creative minds who may think like opposites, but are united in guiding cocktail culture into uncharted territory through their creative crafting drinks. The following two instalments of the ‘Adventures in the Cavern’ series take place on February 21 and March 28, when Long Bar will welcome more movers and shakers from the world of mixology. Behind the bar on February 21 will be Lorenzo Antinori of Hong Kong’s fêted Bar Leone, which is currently ranked No.2 in the World’s 50 Best Bars and No.1 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars, and Demie Kim and Noah Kwon from Seoul hotspot Zest, which is No.9 in the World’s 50 Best Bars and No.2 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars. On March 28, meanwhile, Long Bar will play host to Dicky Hartono of Bangkok’s Firefly and Amanda Wan and Jo Wong from Kuala Lumpur’s Three X Co.

Fresh from France: Sustainable Apple Delights Mark Great Success in Singapore

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 January 2025 – INTERFEL (the Interbranch Association for Fresh French Fruit and Vegetables) is back in Singapore with great success presenting its latest range of sustainable French apples for fruit lovers in Singapore to enjoy. (Top) Interfel Singapore Roadshow, (Bottom) Interfel Singapore Kombucha Workshop France has over 100 different apple varieties thanks to its unique climate and fertile soil. Recently, climate change has significantly impacted global agriculture, particularly affecting fruit cultivation. Following a challenging harvest in 2023, Europe’s apple production is anticipated to drop to its second-lowest level of the century, primarily due to severe frost conditions in Eastern Europe, which will result in a total yield of just 10.2 million tons—a decline of 1.3 million tons compared to the previous year. In contrast, France’s total apple production in 2024 remains relatively stable, projected at 1.463 million tons. This reflects a slight decrease from 2023 but represents a 2.5% increase compared to the three-year average, showcasing the resilience of French apple cultivation. The outlook for specific apple varieties varies widely. While the yield of certain international varieties, such as Granny Smith and Fuji, declines by 26-27%, the production of club varieties and local selections remains relatively steady. For instance, Pink Lady, France’s third-largest variety, is projected to yield 164,000 tons, indicating a modest decline of 5%. Meanwhile, the crop of Jazz is expected to increase by 16%, and both Chantecler and newly introduced varieties are also continuing to grow. For more than 25 years, French apple growers have proactively embraced innovative and adaptive measures. They are implementing sustainable agricultural practices such as precision irrigation, soil management, and environmentally friendly pest control to ensure the healthy growth of the trees and enhance their resilience. These methods not only protect the environment but also secure a sustainable supply of high-quality apples. Each apple not only tastes delicious but also embodies this commitment. To introduce the authenticity of its produce and its process of responsible farming, INTERFEL hosted a series of annual activities in Singapore. The series of activities include French Apple Kombucha Workshop for influencers, consumer roadshow, and in-store samplings at major retail stores such as Fairprice, Giant, and Cold Storage. The activities happened from November 2024 until the end of January 2025 with great success. With emphasis on sustainability, Interfel aims to expand their initiative by promoting diverse methods of consuming French Apples and supporting sustainability through various activities that offer versatile uses for French Apples, promoting health, and minimizing the environmental footprint—all while celebrating the varied culinary possibilities of this nutritious fruit. These activities were a resounding success, drawing the participation of 25 local influencers in the French Apple Kombucha Workshop and reaching over thousands of consumers through in-store samplings. Consumers also enjoyed lively roadshow events featuring fun games and exciting prizes, making the experience both memorable and interactive. French apples are still in season and available at major Singapore supermarkets until April 2025. Today, almost 1,300 French apple growers are committed to producing high-quality apples that are both environmentally friendly and rich in taste.
