Hong Kong's economy continues to display resilience as the city navigates its way through various external headwinds and structural shifts. Growth is occurring across many sectors, with some industries performing on a level comparable to pre-pandemic times. CBRE believes the resurgence of the mainland Chinese economy, policy support from the central government, and public sector investment in Hong Kong’s long-term development will create opportunities for corporations and investors in the long run.
As part of the government’s long-term development plan for Hong Kong, the coming years will see the transformation of the northern part of the New Territories into a world-class innovation and technology hub known as the Northern Metropolis. This project will take two decades to be completed and will require existing brownfield users to be relocated to facilitate high-rise and infrastructure development. Innovative solutions to accommodate the real estate needs of relocating brownfield site users will create significant opportunities for existing and future industrial building owners. According to CBRE's latest research report, it is estimated that the relocation of brownfield land users will create 31 million square feet of demand for different types of industrial properties, creating significant opportunities for industrial landlords.
Electric vehicles have become an important means for countries to achieve net-zero carbon emission goals.

With Hong Kong aiming to achieve zero-carbon emissions by 2050, the government is encouraging the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Accelerating sales of EVs are driving demand for charging facilities, the availability of which is lagging the fast-growing number of EVs on the city’s roads. This report examines EV demand in Hong Kong; assesses current and future requirements for EV chargers; and explains how this will impact the city’s real estate market.
