Land rush
Hong Kong consistently ranks among the world's most expensive commercial and residential property markets. The government, which owns all the city’s land, leases sites, generally for 50 years, mainly through a tender process each year. In late 2021, a commercial plot in Central went for a record HK$50.8 billion (US$6.5 billion). Here, the Post takes a look at the city’s land sale highlights over the past 30 years.
