The brief
We were appointed the asset manager for 68 Yee Wo Street in 2004. Our client’s aim was to reposition the entire development from a Grade C to a Grade A commercial building.
The client
GAW Capital (Former client: Pamfleet (HK) Ltd)
Our solution
A major internal renovation of the office lift lobbies was completed in 2005, while external improvement works and a reconfiguration of the retail podium were completed two years later. Savills carefully coordinated the site management each time in an organised, phased approach during which the office tenants remained in occupation and minimum inconvenience was caused to tenants and visitors. The Savills concierge team display an exceptional level of attention and care, which has been much appreciated by tenants, granting us an excellent service rating in the latest customer satisfaction survey.
How we added value
The subject building comprises both commercial and retail floors. In terms of management strategy, maximising occupancy rates and rental income for the landlord has become the prime objective in enhancing the asset value of 68 Yee Wo Street. Throughout the years of our management, Savills has successfully leased all the vacant floors and maintained a stable rental income return, with an average occupancy rate of over 95%.
