Southeast Asian buyers emerge as top non-local investors in Hong Kong commercial property

Southeast Asian capital, led by Singapore, now eclipses mainland Chinese as the city’s leading non-local commercial property investors

As of Tuesday, local and non-local investors – including those from mainland China – were behind an estimated HK$30.36 billion (US$3.87 billion) in transactions involving commercial property deals above HK$50 million in Hong Kong so far this year, data compiled by the property consultancy showed.

Southeast Asian investors contributed HK$3.37 billion – or more than 11 per cent – of the total value, Savills said.
