Why Hong Kong’s student housing market faces race against time
The student housing market “has attracted attention because it is one of the few real estate sectors in Hong Kong demonstrating favourable fundamentals”, said Hannah Jeong, head of valuation and advisory services at CBRE in Hong Kong.The strong fundamentals are underpinned by policy support.
