Kowloon East was originally an industrial base. With the northward shift of Hong Kong’s manufacturing base and the relocation of the old Kai Tak Airport, new development opportunities were emerged for Kowloon East. It has now transformed from a traditional industrial zone into a premier commercial center, comparable in scale to the Central CBD. Equipped with modern infrastructure and a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and sustainable development, Kowloon East offers unparalleled business opportunities, emerging as another premier investment destination in Asia.
With the highest density of green buildings in Hong Kong and more relatively new Grade A office buildings as compared to traditional Central CBD, the premium office spaces in Kowloon East have successfully attracted a growing number of leading multinational enterprises and financial institutions to the area. The portion of business establishments engaged in “Banking, Financial Services and Insurance” and “Real Estate and Professional and Business Services” in the district have increased noticeably.
In addition to newly completed Grade A office buildings, Kowloon East also offers a diverse range of properties, providing businesses with opportunities and options to expand their operations. Through the revitalization of industrial buildings, Kowloon East offers high-quality and affordable workspaces for startup and small and medium-sized enterprises from different sectors like FinTech, innovation and technology and creative industries. Apart from rental, certain features of revitalized industrial buildings, such as exceptionally high headroom and large floor plate, could better meet the requirements of specific industries. Furthermore, the existing industrial buildings in the surrounding area could also provide numerous investment opportunities for investors.
