Meanwhile, office RVs in Central and Western District (5.5%), Wan Chai (4.2%), and Eastern District (2.8%) dropped due to surging future supply, cost-cutting relocation strategies, and increased incentives granted by landlords.

The Industrial RVs in Kwai Tsing (5.6%), Sha Tin (2.1%), and Tsuen Wan (4.2%) had strong growth amongst all sectors due to the lack of space, where vacancy remained at a low single digit.
