According to Yang Mingyi, senior joint director of the research department of Centraline Property, selecting the rental value statistics of 34 top and first-class indicators of office buildings, the rental value of the entire office building in 2023 fell by 2.1% annually, narrowing the decline, but four consecutive years of decline showed a weak economic environment and a high vacancy rate, and the rental market for office buildings continued to decline. Among them, the top-level office building fell by 2.4% annually, and the first-class office building fell by 1.6%. Although the rental value of top-level office buildings in 2023 fell more than the market, it only fell back by 23.6% from the high point in 2019, which is smaller than the 27.9% and 25.3% decline of first-class and overall, respectively, and top-level office buildings are still relatively superior. The rent decline of the Central Center, the Changjiang Group Center and the Convention and Exhibition Center in the past four years is the most obvious, reaching more than 33.3%. Due to the oversupply of office buildings, it is estimated that the short-term downward trend of the overall rental value will remain unchanged.

Among the eight top office indicators, the rental value in 2023 decreased in five and increased in three. The rental value decline of the Changjiang Group Center was the most significant, with an annual decline of 10.9%, resulting in a decline of more than 33% from the high point of 2019. The rental values of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Pacific Place fell by 10% and 8.6% annually in 2023 respectively, with a smaller decline from the high point in 2019 of 29% and 29.3%, respectively, due to the impact of newly completed office buildings such as The Henderson and the second phase of the Changjiang Group Center. The rental value changes of The Landmark, International Financial Center, Phase 3 of Pacific Place, Global Trade Square and Exchange Square in 2023 are relatively small, with variations within ±3%. All these properties have fallen by about 20% from the high point in 2019.

Among the 26 first-class indicators of office buildings, the annual rental value of Hong Kong Island fell by 2.2% in 2023, and it has been declining for four consecutive years, while the rental value of Kowloon stopped falling and rose by 0.8%, resulting in a decline of nearly 30% from 2019 for Hong Kong Island, reaching 29.3%, while Kowloon recorded a decline of only 21.8% in the past four years. Except for a slight increase in rental value in Admiralty, the rental values of Central, Sheung Wan and Wan Chai all fell by 3.6%, 3.4% and 3% annually in 2023, respectively, and it is believed that they were affected by the withdrawal of some foreign-funded enterprises and the relocation to non-core business districts. The rental values of Tsim Sha Tsui East and Tsim Sha Tsui West increased annually by 0.05% and 2.6%, respectively.

Among the first-class indicators of office buildings, there were 12 declines, nine increases, and five unchanged rental values in 2023. Those with larger annual rental value declines include Novelpark, Southmark, Central Center, Hong Kong Crystal Center and Railway Building, which fell by 10.0%, 9.9%, 7.0%, 4.5% and 4.5%, respectively. In addition, the rental value declines in Central Center, Convention and Exhibition Center and Lippo Center in the past four years are relatively high, reaching accumulative declines of 36%, 33.2% and 31.4%, respectively. The rental values of Suntec Center, Bank of America Center, Novelpark Center and Far East Financial Center also fell by about 30% compared to 2019. All of these seven first-class office buildings are located in Hong Kong Island.

In the above text, 34 top and first-class indicators of office buildings were selected for statistics. The rental value index of an office building differential rent is a derived index based on the differential rent that should be paid for the evaluation property assessed by the Rating and Valuation Department. The base period of the index is 2013, and the base period index is set at 100 to reflect changes in the rental value of the property.
