Opinion: Is a Kowloon East CBD for real or just a planner’s dream?

New office supply growth in East Kowloon is seen to have surpassed the pace of infrastructure development in the area, but it remains to be seen if the area will take off as the next CBD

The new HKSAR administration may offer new directions for Hong Kong, but we will have to wait and see. Being a veteran of the commercial leasing sector, forgive me for having my own expectations (if not high) for the commercial property market.

The idea of Kowloon East becoming a CBD2 is definitely not something new, but will this idea be realised or is it just a planner’s pipe dream?
