〈The Standard, Aug 30, 2025〉New World Development's (0017) high-end residential project State Pavilia in North Point offers additional HK$68,000 discounts for 40 flats on sale, with the cheapest flat priced at HK$7.29 million after discounts.

The promotion will start from next Monday and last to the end of December, covering 38 one-bedroom units and two two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 355 to 437 square feet.

〈Hong Kong Business, Aug 29, 2025〉The Lands Department has issued a second batch of notices for the resumption of 68 private lots, covering an area of 4.1 hectares, for the second phase of Yuen Long South New Development Area (NDA).

These private lots will revert to the government on 29 November 2025. It will release land compensation to the relevant land owners after land reversion.

Affected households and businesses are expected to have moved out by March 2026.

According to the department, the 68 private lots to be resumed are the sites for which no application was received under the Enhanced Conventional New Town Approach by the deadline last May. The land requires resumption so that the government can carry out development works.

〈Asian Post, Aug 28, 2025〉Rents for private homes in Hong Kong continued to rise through mid-2025, even as prices remained flat.

According to the Hong Kong Property Review – Monthly Supplement released by the Rating and Valuation Department, the private residential rental index climbed to 195.6 in June, whilst the price index held steady at 286.7.

The upward pressure on rents was seen across all unit sizes and districts, and yields improved slightly—particularly for smaller units, where Class A flats recorded a yield of 3.7%, compared to 2.4% for the largest Class E flats. However, popular developments in the New Territories continued to reflect price softness.

〈Hong Kong Business, Aug 27, 2025〉Buyers are increasingly turning to the private residential market as the price premium of private homes over Subsidised Sale Flats (SSFs) continues to narrow, according to JLL's latest Hong Kong residential sales market dynamics.

"As private home prices continue to soften, the shrinking premium of private flats over SSFs has prompted more buyers to enter the private market directly. This trend is evident across multiple districts,” said Norry Lee, Senior Director of Projects Strategy and Consultancy Department at JLL.

“For example, in Kai Tak, the price premium of private flats over SSFs dropped by 19.2% year-on-year to HKD 9,020 per sq ft in 2025. The decline was even sharper in Kwun Tong, where the premium dropped 29% to HKD 7,585 per sq ft."

〈RTHK, News, Aug 26, 2025〉Commissioner for Belt and Road Nicholas Ho said on Thursday he hopes more mainland enterprises will come to Hong Kong to participate in this year's summit as it will enable different businesses to seize the opportunity to foster more collaborations.

Speaking on an RTHK programme, Ho pointed out that political and business leaders participating in this year's forum are coming from more than 70 to 80 countries.

The forum will provide updated Belt and Road information, facilitating project connections and offering opportunities for business matchmaking, he said.

Ho said Hong Kong plays a pivotal role in connecting the mainland with the global market, on top of attracting capital and talent.
