Hong Kong Office Rents 60 Percent Higher Than in New York
Hong Kong’s Central area has taken the prize for the world’s most expensive premium office rents for a fourth year running, according to global real estate consultant JLL.
Occupancy costs — including rent, taxes and service charges — are 60 percent higher than New York’s Midtown and almost 75 percent more costly than London’s West End, JLL’s Premium Office Rent Tracker, which crunches data in the premier office districts of 61 cities, shows.
