〈The Standard, Feb 28, 2026〉The Hong Kong government revealed on Friday that it will put nine residential sites up for sale in the coming fiscal year amid optimistic property market sentiment, with three from the Hung Shui Kiu pilot, which reflects the city’s commitment to developing the Northern Metropolis as a key growth area. Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn Hon-ho said the total home supply is 6,650 units, among which the Hung Shui Kiu pilot will provide 3,120 units.
In the government's land sale list, three residential-use plots, including the Area 106A site in Tung Chung, the Cape Road site in Stanley, and the Clear Water Bay Road site in Sai Kung, are rolled over sites. The other three new sites in the list are located at Fat Kwong Street, Ho Man Tin, the junction of Tai Chung Kiu Road and On Sum Street, Shek Mun, and the junction of On Sum Street and On Ping Street, Shek Mun, offering a total of 1,570 units.

〈Hong Kong Business, Feb 27, 2026〉In its response to the 2026-27 Budget, Cushman & Wakefield said public–private partnerships could speed up the delivery of the Northern Metropolis and ease fiscal pressure.
It said the government must clearly define public versus commercial roles and be transparent about long-term industry objectives, land use, and returns to attract private participation.
The consultancy urged the government to secure strategic “anchor institutions” and avoid blurred industrial positioning across precincts to build clearer district identities, saying earlier clarity on university and technology industry participation would help boost developer confidence.
〈The Standard, Feb 26, 2026〉Wheelock Properties chairman Stewart Leung Chi-kin expected Hong Kong's home price will hike 8 to 10 percent, expressing concern over whether the increased stamp duty for homes valued over HK$100 million will impact the recovery of the luxury residential market.
Leung, also serves as the chairman of the Real Estate Developers Association, said the stamp duty adjustment has a limited effect on developers as it only involves hundreds of transactions every year. As the deals in the primary market surpassed 1,000 for several consecutive months, the home price index rose, and rents hit a new high, coupled with the decrease in home inventories and the improvement in the government's financial conditions, home sales are expected to grow further, said Ricky Wong Kwong-yiu, vice chairman and managing director of Wheelock Properties.

〈Asian Post, Feb 25, 2026〉UOB Kay Hian raised its 2026 home price growth forecast to 7% from 2% after a stronger-than-expected recovery in late 2025 and early 2026.
The broker lifted its primary market transaction volume projection to 25,000 units and forecast secondary volume of 46,520 units, whilst maintaining a Market Weight call on the Hong Kong property sector.
UOB Kay Hian said improving buyer sentiment has been supported by relatively attractive rental yields and stabilisation in Hong Kong’s population. Still, it expects lower rental yields in 2026 and said potential housing supply remains elevated despite sequential moderation.
〈RTHK News, Feb 24, 2026〉The government said the plots included in its land-sale programme for the next fiscal year would generate 6,650 flats.
According to the budget blueprint this week, nine residential sites will be put on sale for 2026-27.
Three of them are in the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area in the New Territories, offering more than 3,000 units, while the rest are in various districts including Ho Man Tin, Sha Tin and Tung Chung.
Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn said together with projects by the MTR, the Urban Renewal Authority and private developers, potential supply is expected to top 22,000 units.
