Hong Kong’s construction prices remained steady: JLL

The average fit-out cost is US$130 per sqft.

Construction prices in Hong Kong remained “broadly static” with only moderate price increases recorded as the market competition resulted in margin compression which contributed to minimising the impact of price increases.

In a report, JLL said the recent easing of restrictions in Hong Kong may help alleviate some of the pressure on construction costs in Singapore.

It added that as the market’s real GDP for 2022 will decline by 3% year-on-year, and inch up by 1.4% YoY in 2023, it will be a neutral market for landlords and tenants.

JLL said the average fit-out cost in Hong Kong for 2022/2023  for progressive style based on medium specification is US$130 per square foot (sqft), higher than the Asia Pacific average of US$108.
