Hong Kong Housing Society Annual Report 2016

eligible applicants at concessionary prices under the previous Flat-for-

Sale Scheme and Sandwich Class Housing Scheme, as well as the

current Subsidised Sale Flats project. Housing units at full market value

were sold to the public, including units under the previous Urban

Improvement Scheme and the current Urban Renewal Projects to

enhance the living environment of Hong Kong’s older urban districts.

With the completion in 2016 of our two remaining Urban Renewal

Projects, Heya Crystal and Heya Aqua, our development pipeline of full

market-value projects will be replaced by subsidised housing projects

in the longer term. In addition to the 988 flats of Greenview Villa

which was completed in 2015, another 1,640 Subsidised Sale Flats

will be produced in the next five years from the Greenhill Villa project

and projects at Tseung Kwan O Area 73A and Tuen Mun Area 2.

Net proceeds from property sales help to maintain the redevelopment

capability of the Housing Society. However, given the high construction

costs and uncertain outlook on the property market, the Housing

Society will prudently mobilise its resources for the upcoming

Subsidised Sale Flats projects aiming to attain financial breakeven.

The Housing Society has over 32,000 rental units in 20 estates,

accommodating around 86,000 tenants at discounted market rents.

We also provide around 95,500 m

of rentable retail spaces and 9,300

car-parking spaces in our estates and managed properties to meet

residents’ needs. In 2010, the Housing Society acquired a commercial

building at 1063 King’s Road and leased out some office floors for

long-term investment income. The commercial portfolio is operated on

prudent commercial principles with rentals based on market value.

Historically, the Housing Society has been able to maintain a surplus

operation for its domestic and commercial portfolios. However, the

domestic segment will soon incur an operational deficit as the rental

income we receive is barely sufficient to cover the recurrent costs of

maintenance and improvement works for our ageing estates.

In the longer term, the financial burden to redevelop our estates is

enormous. We estimate that we need to spend around HK$48 billion

to redevelop eight of our oldest rental estates. As the construction cost

for redevelopment is unlikely to be fully recovered from the future

年的資助出售房屋項目,房協以優惠價向

合資格申請人士提供可負擔的房屋。另外

又以市價向公眾出售住宅單位,包括早年

的「市區改善計劃」及現時的市區重建

項目,以改善香港舊區的居住環境。

隨著餘下兩個市區重建項目「喜薈」及

「喜漾」於二零一六年落成,市值發展的項

目長遠將由資助房屋項目所取代。除了於

二零一五年落成的

出售物業所得的款項淨額有助維持房協重

建出租屋邨。然而,由於建築成本高昂及

物業市道前景不明朗,房協將審慎運用往

後資助出售房屋項目的資源,以達致財政

收支平衡。

過往,房協的住宅及商業項目運作一直保

持盈餘。然而,由於住宅的租金收入僅足

以應付轄下舊邨維修及改善工程的經常性

開支,我們即將面臨營運的虧損。

長遠而言,房協重建轄下屋邨的財政負擔

龐大。我們預計需要斥資近四百八十億

港元重建八個最舊的出租屋邨。由於日後

的租金收入應不足以悉數收回重建成本,
