HK developers have a shiny new plaything

Nisha Gopalan, Bloomberg

Hong Kong developers have a shiny new target in their sights: China’s offi- ce market. And while the prices they’re paying may be breaking records, the prospects for commercial property on the mainland have rarely looked better. Hang Lung Properties Ltd. last week paid 10.7 billion yuan (USD1.7 billion) for a prime plot in southern Han- gzhou, home of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., beating out more than 300 other bidders, including the tech giant itself. Hang Lung’s bid was more than twice the asking price and the sale marked the company’s first acquisition of land in Chi- na since 2013.
