At present, the market has shown extreme performance with new highs kept breaking out at whole block or large-scale premises, driving the corresponding price level to go beyond hugely from that of second and third tier office buildings. Also, Grade-A office market has fallen into struggle between vendors and potential buyers over the past few months. Until mid-July, a remarkable transaction was reported by market news, saying that the whole floor on 33/F of Far East Finance Centre in Admiralty, with size about 10,800 sq ft, was sold at approx.

The average price valued around HK$50,000 psf, which has surpassed the existing record high of individual-floor office transaction that was held by Nine Queen’s Road Central in March 2017.
