Foreign, mainland students flock to Hong Kong sparking property demand in education sector

Hong Kong is expected to see a significant increase in non-local students, potentially reaching 200,000 by 2035, which could drive substantial growth in the education sector's property demand. International schools may need to add 40 to 50 new campuses, requiring up to 1.11 million square meters of gross floor area. At the university level, institutions might expand their facilities by 1.39 million to 2.14 million square meters to accommodate 150,000 projected students. The student accommodation sector would also need over 70,000 additional beds. CBRE's report highlights this structural transformation in Hong Kong's education sector.
