Leading diversified professional services and investment management company Colliers (NASDAQ and TSX : CIGI) is pleased to announce it has been appointed as sole agent by the Empire Group to manage the commercial leasing of their new development S22, in Wong Chuk Hang.
This 163,500 sq. ft. commercial property is strategically located at 22 Heung Yip Road, offering leading technology to its forward-thinking community and flexible space for both office and retail occupiers. Demand is expected to be strong from a range of multinational and local occupiers looking for a high quality space in a decentralised area.
S22 has been developed to deliver four core benefits to its occupants:
Fiona Ngan, Head of Office Services | Hong Kong, said: “We are delighted to be appointed as sole agents and represent one of Empire Group’s latest commercial buildings. We have seen a lot of regeneration and construction work in Island South, so to represent such a high profile client as they establish their footprint in an emerging area is a privilege for Colliers. ”
“Since 2020, we have seen a strong push from occupiers for flight-to-quality options. This doesn’t represent a new demand in the market, but it does show a difference in expectation as the need for quality has shifted from nice to have, to a necessity. So, the fact S22 is a brand-new building, it should give it a competitive edge in the market,” added Ngan.
Albert Yiu, Executive Director, of Empire Group, commented: “S22 is a best-in-class commercial building in Hong Kong. We have listened to, and understood, the needs of our occupiers and leasing demand in Hong Kong to create a product that gives a modern tenant what they need. We are especially proud of its leading technology and wellbeing features that elevate experience throughout the ecosystem for the S22 community.”
Yiu continued, “The project name 'S22', while certainly a simple nod to its address (Southern District, 22 Heung Yip Road), holds a deeper meaning to us at Empire. The 'S' represents our founder, Dr. Kwok Ping Sheung, whose name and memory instils in us a drive to Succeed, and to protect and continue his legacy as his Succession.”
“Island South is a rapidly expanding area undergoing a rejuvenation. Wong Chuk Hang specifically has become a vital business district in Hong Kong, and we are seeing a trend of businesses locate to this area. As this migration trend continues, it’s important they have high quality commercial buildings that meet the profile of the tenant looking to move to the district,” added Yiu.
