〈The Standard, July 11, 2026〉Citi predicts Hong Kong development property margins will recover between 13 percent and 18 percent in the first half of 2026, forecasting a strong earnings rebound from recovering margins, high revenue recognition, and lower financing costs.
The improvement is attributed to strong sales feeding into revenue recognition, with completed units typically accounting for 20 to 30 percent of the mix, alongside positive rental reversions across China's retail sector and reduced finance costs from lower debt levels.
The development property margin recovery was between 3 percent and 8 percent in the first half of 2025.
〈Hong Kong Business, July 10, 2026〉The Hong Kong Government has announced the latest timeline for the proposed Pak Shek Kok (PSK) Station, with construction targeted to begin in the second half of 2028 and commissioning set for 2033.
The station will sit roughly midway between Hong Kong Science Park and the Education University of Hong Kong's (EdUHK) existing Sports Centre site.
Because the project requires building on active running tracks, the existing sports centre will be reprovisioned to a site at Tung Tsz on Ting Kok Road, adjacent to EdUHK's main campus.
