Hong Kong to offer 9 residential sites to developers in 2026-27 land sale plan
Government releases 9 residential plots, aiming for an 8-year high of 22,580 total new flats next year.
The Hong Kong government has unveiled its land sale programme for the 2026-27 financial year, offering nine residential sites to developers with an expected yield of approximately 6,650 new flats. Development Secretary Bernadette Linn Hon-ho announced the plan, which includes three sites carried over from the previous year's list, citing a recovering property market with steadily increasing transactions. The sites are strategically located across districts including Stanley, Hung Shui Kiu, Ho Man Tin, Sai Kung, Sha Tin, and Tung Chung, with individual plot capacities ranging from 250 to 1,580 units. This move follows the government's recent budget statement that the property market has stabilised.
When combined with other supply sources—such as urban redevelopment projects, private developments, and railway property projects—the total potential supply of new flats for 2026-27 is estimated to reach about 22,580. This figure represents an eight-year high for Hong Kong's housing supply, though it remains below the record of approximately 25,500 flats set in the 2018-19 financial year. The significant ramp-up in planned supply reflects a strategic government effort to address housing demand and support market stability. The announcement provides crucial forward guidance for developers and investors, shaping the city's residential construction pipeline for the coming years.
