Hong Kong Office Market Outlook Although there are signs of slight recovery of Hong Kong’s financial market due to interest rate cuts and gentle increase in IPO activities, the office market in Hong Kong is expected to remain subdued in 2025 as a result of the uncertainty of economic environment and corporate cost-cutting measures that hinder the growth of demand for office space. Weak demand and huge supply will continue to exert downward pressure on rents. Nevertheless, the ‘flight-to-quality’ trend continues to be prevalent and remains a critical office selection criterion by prospective tenants who favour new office buildings such as Two Taikoo Place and Six Pacific Place. Our successful placemaking strategy (which continues to offer thriving office community) and prioritisation on sustainability, health and safety, and the well-being of tenants’ employees, are highly valued by existing and potential tenants. The office portfolios in Pacific Place and Taikoo Place are well-positioned to continue to be the preferred choices of office locations when the market picks up. The following chart shows the percentage of attributable gross rental income from the office properties in Hong Kong, for the month ended 31st December 2024, derived from leases expiring in the periods with no committed renewals or new lettings.
