Investment volume reached HK$23.1 billion during the first half.

Hong Kong's commercial real estate investment market strengthened in the first half of 2026 as end-users and education-related investors drove transaction activity, according to CBRE.

Investment volume totalled HK$23.1 billion in H1, representing a 50% year-on-year increase despite Q2 investment volume easing 15% to HK$8.1 billion. Office assets remained the most actively traded sector, while properties suitable for student accommodation conversions continued to attract strong investor interest.

CBRE noted that among the notable transactions, Singapore's Wee Hur Capital acquired One Bedford Place in Tai Kok Tsui for HK$720 million for conversion into student accommodation, while Crystal Investment purchased two assets in Kowloon City and Hung Hom for a combined HK$443 million. Developers also returned to the market for redevelopment opportunities, highlighted by Chinachem Group's acquisition of North Point Terrace for more than HK$1.9 billion.

The number of commercial property deals above HK$77 million rose 76% year-on-year to 30 in Q2, data from CBRE revealed. Nearly half of these involved distressed assets, with 14 transactions worth HK$3.2 billion completed at significant discounts.

CBRE said end-users remained the key source of demand despite higher financing costs and rising HIBOR, while discounted pricing continued to attract opportunistic investors seeking quality assets.

### 香港商业地产投资上半年大增50%

2026年上半年香港商业房地产投资市场转强，自用买家及教育相关投资者带动成交活跃

上半年投资成交额达231亿港元。

根据世邦魏理仕（CBRE），2026年上半年香港商业房地产投资市场走强，自用买家及教育相关投资者带动成交活跃。

上半年投资成交额达231亿港元，同比上升50%，尽管第二季投资额回落15%至81亿港元。写字楼仍是交投最活跃的资产类别，而适合改建为学生住宿的物业继续吸引投资者浓厚兴趣。

CBRE指出，值得关注的交易包括新加坡Wee Hur Capital以7.2亿港元收购大角咀One Bedford Place，拟改建为学生住宿；Crystal Investment则以合计4.43亿港元购入九龙城及红磡两处资产。发展商亦重返市场寻找重建机会，华懋集团以逾19亿港元收购北角北角台（North Point Terrace）尤为瞩目。

CBRE数据显示，第二季成交价超过7,700万港元的商业地产交易宗数同比上升76%至30宗。其中近半数涉及受压资产，共14宗、总值32亿港元以显著折让完成。

CBRE表示，尽管融资成本上升、香港银行同业拆息（HIBOR）走高，自用买家仍是需求的主要来源，而折让定价则继续吸引寻求优质资产的机会型投资者。
