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?
