2025 has brought profound shifts in the global trade ecosystem, from trade tariffs to recent diplomatic developments, all of which are reshaping corporate real estate across APAC.   Our latest thinking on navigating these fast-moving developments is covered in depth in our latest Horizon Report – From Whiplash to Resilience: Corporate Real Estate in the New World Order.   This research features key insights and guidance from my colleagues across the APAC region. Here are a few key takeaways:   ➡️ Higher tariffs are the new baseline: Even at reduced levels, they significantly exceed historical norms ➡️ The US-China decoupling will redraw the real estate map: Strategic sectors such as semiconductors, EVs and AI are localising rapidly, with Western and Chinese mainland ecosystems moving on increasingly separate tracks ➡️ Supply chain diversification is now a necessity: While the 90-day window allows for short-term planning, it doesn't eliminate the need for structural diversification   Although uncertainty around global tariffs and broader market pressures persists, the Knight Frank team continues to provide expert advice to clients across APAC and globally. It is encouraging to see steady progress as we guide them through this shifting landscape.

Cyrus Fong, Executive Director, Head of Valuation & Advisory at Knight Frank Greater China, was invited by Metro Finance’s Metroland to share his expert analysis of the HKSAR Government’s land sale programme. This quarter’s programme includes a single #residential site located at Choi Hing Road in Jordan Valley. Cyrus believes the site location is attractive and estimates land prices at HK$5,000-6,000 per sq ft, with a total value of HK$1.8-2.2 billion. The investment risk is considered low, given that the plot size is relatively small. Cyrus also discussed the Northern Metropolis development, land supply, the two-envelope tendering approach, and the annual private housing supply target. 📻 Listen to the full interview (地產界名人專訪：樓市焦點/地產名人堂 from 08:35) https://lnkd.in/gPTEHii #KnightFrank #MetroFinance #LandSale #property #RealEstate #NorthernMetropolis #HongKongHousing #YourPartnersinProperty
