Mong Kok Plot Sells for 20% Below Expectations

A unit of Hong Kong-listed Eagle Legend Asia acquired a residential site in Kowloon’s Mong Kok area on Thursday for nearly 22 percent less than market expectations, according to an announcement by the city’s Lands Department.

The mainland invested firm beat out four competing bidders to purchase the 2,718 square foot (252.5 square metre) plot between Reclamation Street and Shanghai Street, near the intersection with Dundas Street, in Mong Kok for HK$85.9 million ($11 million). The winning bidder is permitted to build up to 24,426 square feet of residential or commercial space on the site, which makes the purchase equivalent to HK$3,512 per square foot of built area. The rate per square foot is the lowest recorded in the protest-marred area since 2004. Read More>>

Nano Flat Completions Rise 11X in 5 Years

Hong Kongers are feeling the squeeze as construction of nano flats continues to rise in the world’s leading city for housing unaffordability, according to recent government statistics. A total of 982 homes measuring 215 square feet or less were completed in the city during 2019 — up 72 percent compared to the previous year, according to the latest figures from the Transport and Housing Bureau, which show that construction of these shoebox homes has risen 11-fold since 2015.

T-Plus in Tuen Mun, which was jointly developed by Jiayuan International Group and Stan Group, has homes measuring as small as 128 square feet, and prices which start at HK$1.73 million ($223,000). That project accounted for 28 percent of Hong Kong’s supply of shoebox flats in 2019, but has had to slash prices since July last year to attract buyers. Read More>>
