State Theatre, Hong Kong

The compulsory sale of the State Theatre building, which is mostly held by New World Development (0017), opens Thursday with a reserve price of HK$4.77 billion. The price would be a record high for a compulsory auction in the city.

Market watchers believe the valuation of shops in North Point could benefit from the sale. Read more>>
