Gross rental income from the Hong Kong office portfolio in the first half of 2023 was HK$2,778 million, a decrease of 2% from the same period in 2022. Demand remains subdued reflecting continued economic uncertainty. The office market was weak given increased availability (due to vacancy and new supply). However, our office portfolio was resilient. Leasing activity has picked up since the reopening of the border, with increased inspections. We believe that tenants value our amenity provision as well as our commitment to sustainability and to the wellbeing of occupants. At 30th June 2023, the office portfolio was 90% let. Excluding Two Taikoo Place (which was completed in September 2022), the office portfolio was 94% let.
