Hong Kong is The World’s 3rd Costliest City for Construction

Hong Kong has overtaken Zurich as the third most expensive city in the world to build — behind only New York and San Francisco, latest research shows.

Average construction costs in Hong Kong currently stand at US$3,704 per square meter, and are set to rise by 4 percent over the next 12 months, as skills shortages put pressure on costs in the face of increased demand for new projects. Rodney Moulder, Managing Director, South China at Turner & Townsend, said that the industry needed to attract new talent and adopt new digital and data-led tools to mitigate cost inflation.
