中渝置地在倫敦落地 擬加大對英投資
CC Land, a Chinese developer, is setting up an office in Mayfair as it hunts for more London assets after its purchase this year of the Leadenhall Building, known as the “Cheesegrater”.
中國房地產開發商中渝置地(CC Land)正要在倫敦梅菲爾區(Mayfair)設立一個辦事處，今年早些時候該公司買下有“奶酪刨”(Cheesegrater)之稱的蘭特荷大廈(Leadenhall Building，見上圖)，現在正在物色更多倫敦資產。The Hong Kong-listed group said it and several local rivals planned to expand their London property holdings, continuing a surge of capital from China.
這家香港上市集團表示，它和幾家當地競爭對手正計劃擴大各自的倫敦房地產組合，延續從中國涌入的鉅額資本流動。Dickie Wong, deputy chairman, said CC Land planned to base five or six employees in London, and was in talks to develop a large-scale housing-led project in the capital with a UK property company.
中渝置地副主席黃志強(Dickie Wong)表示，該集團計劃在倫敦常駐五、六名員工，並正與一家英國房地產公司洽談在首都開發一個以住宅爲主導的大規模項目。
It was close to agreeing a lease for Mayfair office space, he added.
他補充說，中渝置地正接近達成梅菲爾辦公空間的租約。“Despite Brexit and the political uncertainty, we are here for the very long term,” Mr Wong said.
“儘管有英國退歐和政治不確定性，但我們在這裏是放眼長期的，”黃志強表示。“This trend will continue because of the weakening of sterling. It is easily
“由於英鎊走弱，這一趨勢將延續下去。這裏的房價比全民公投之前便宜了20%。”20 per cent cheaper than before the referendum.”
他補充說，中渝置地正在考慮進一步買入倫敦知名建築，但也對開發機會感興趣。CC Land was looking at further purchases of trophy London buildings but was also interested in development opportunities, he added.
“我們想要進入門戶城市，而倫敦是第一站。”“We want to diversify into gateway cities, and London is the first stop.”
黃志強說，該公司不會投資於流動性較低的倫敦以外英國各地區，也不會尋求“少數股權或被動投資”。“我們必須拿到控制權”。
