2020/04/22 by Stephanie Li Leave a Comment

Henderson isn’t buying in Tai Kok Tsui for its traditional charm

Leading today’s Hong Kong real estate news, Henderson Land has snapped up a piece of a West Kowloon tenement building for HK$24 million as the developer continues to assemble pieces for a one million square foot project.

Across the Kowloon peninsula, US luxury fashion brand Coach has offloaded a floor in a Kwun Tong office building for HK$185 million, while in one of the city’s posher parts, CSI Properties has sold a duplex in its Jardine’s Lookout development at a five percent discount. Also in the headlines, the city’s worsening economic outlook is expected to knock around 20 percent off of developer bids in Hong Kong’s upcoming land tenders.

Choice Express paid between HK$15,400 and HK$16,300 per square foot for the units – which range in size from 476 to 509 square feet – as Henderson looks to add the 56 year old building at 44-52 Li Tak Street to its one million square foot “Square Mile” project in West Kowloon. Should a compulsory sale of 44-52 Li Tak Street be approved, the redevelopment could yield a gross floor area of 40,000 square feet of residential and commercial space. Read More>>
