Logistics warehouse: upstairs rents rise, cost to consumers

The brownfields of the Hung Shui Bridge are 190 hectares. Most of them are concentrated on Xia Cun Road. About one kilometer of brownfield operation sites have been gathered on the side of the 1 km long Xia Cun Road. More than half of them are logistics and warehouses. The person in charge of the operation of the warehouse pointed out that the land rent in the area is much lower than that of the Kwai Chung Container Terminal. It has become a distribution center for many daily necessities or food items, such as fabrics, dolls and even toilet paper. In the future, if you want to move into a multi-storey industrial building, the rent will be rented. As the price rises, the cost will also be passed on to consumers, and they will wait and see for the time being.

Cheng Zhiwei, director of HNA Logistics Group, said that in order to reduce operating costs, the logistics warehouse of the container terminal was moved to the flood bridge four years ago, and moved to the current site last year, covering an area of ​​about 20,000 square feet. Cheng said that the operation of the warehouses in the district is a race against time. “The logistics cost of daily necessities is not high, and the quantity is large, so it is profitable. Therefore, the efficiency is faster, and the slowdown will erode the situation.” The industry requires that the warehouse be located underground, and the truck can be unloaded. Instantly turn around and take the warehouse as an example. There are more than 200 vehicles coming in and out every day, never queued.

Cheng Zhiwei said that the multi-story industrial building design announced by the government last Thursday responded to some of the industry’s demands. For example, the industrial building provides ramps for heavy vehicles to quickly travel to various floors. As for the lift scheme, he thinks it is not feasible because the efficiency is too slow. Do not use this design when implementing the solution.
