Business Districts

Central District

Central district is the traditional CBD of Hong Kong and attracts major international banks, investment banks, real estate consultants, investment funds, publicly-listed companies, big 5 accounting firms and law firms. Office rents in Central are the highest in the city due to the strong demand for the premium space and proximity to other businesses.

The district boasts a number of five-star hotels, premium retail outlets and some of the best restaurants in the city.

Admiralty

Admiralty is adjacent to Central and a transport hub on Hong Kong Island. There are a number of Grade B strata office buildings with Pacific Place providing Grade A office options, a retail mall and three hotels

Causeway Bay

Traditionally a retail and shopping destination, Causeway Bay has a range of office options generally with good support facilities and access to transport

Tsim Sha Tsui & West Kowloon

Tsim Sha Tsui is popular with trading companies and manufacturers with factories or links to the mainland. Rents are significantly cheaper on Kowloon side. Kowloon Station is a relatively new district consisting only of International Commerce Centre (ICC) which is a AAA Grade office building and home to three international investment banks.

Quarry Bay & Taikoo Place

The major decentralised office district on Hong Kong Island. Taikoo Place is developed and owned by Swire Properties and provides quality stock for backoffice operations or businesses that do not require CBD location

Kowloon Bay & Kwun Tong

This area is undergoing a dramatic rejuvenation as it transforms from industrial to office district. Many of the buildings here are Grade A quality but due to the location and underdevelopment of supporting facilities rents here are quarter or less of Central district.
