Following the benchmark sale of the top floor at 9 Queen's Road Central, international real estate firm Savills has been appointed as the lead agent by the receiver for the sale of another premium top-floor office asset—the whole floors of 26/F and 27/F, Worldwide House, No. 19 Des Voeux Road, Central ("the Property"). The Property has a total gross area of approximately 20,766 square feet and will be sold on an as-is basis with vacant possession.
The Property is located in the core business district of Central and is the only Grade A office building right above the MTR available for sale in the area, with an excellent geographical location. The building features covered walkways connecting to top-tier commercial facilities such as the Landmark and the Mandarin Oriental, creating a highly competitive business environment. As the top two floors of the building, the Property offers sea views of Victoria Harbour, a rare advantage among listings in the area.
The main occupants of World-Wide House include renowned law firms, financial institutions, and medical centres. Its inherent geographical advantages have successfully attracted many high-end companies, family offices, and professional institutions to establish their headquarters or regional offices in the building, providing them with an ideal office environment.
Mr. Raymond Wan, Chief Senior Director, Investment at Savills Hong Kong said, “The top two floors at World-Wide House are now available at an indicative price of approximately HK$23,000 per square foot. This rare opportunity follows Savills' recent benchmark transaction on the 34th floor (top floor) of 9 Queen's Road Central, which achieved approximately HK$27,000 per square foot, demonstrating strong market demand for premium central offices. As a property located atop the MTR and featuring a full-floor top-level listing—an exceptional rarity in the market—this Property represents a unique opportunity for either corporate headquarters or long-term investment.”
