Knight Frank opens private office in Hong Kong
Knight Frank has recently established a nonpublic office in Hong Kong, the second in Asia. Tung Ho-Pin has been appointed to direct the new office, instructing exclusive customers on their global property profiles.
In an April 14 press release, Knight Frank says Tung’s appointment will definitely further increase its special consumer base, specifically among ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), family workplaces as well as their experts in Hong Kong along with mainland China.

In Asia-Pacific, 16% of The Knight Frank Perspectives Survey participants claimed their buyers prepare to buy a home in 2023.
The opening of Knight Frank’s private business office in Hong Kong comes about a year following it set up a nonpublic office in Singapore last February. “With Singapore as well as Hong Kong being key to funding circulations in the Asian region, it makes sense to open up a Private Workplace in Hong Kong too,” states Nicholas Keong, head of private office space at Knight Frank Singapore.
Knight Frank states that private investors were one of the most intense buyers in worldwide commercial property assets in 2022, that is expected to proceed this year.
” We are pleased to have Ho-Pin sign up with the Knight Frank Private Workplace. We prepared ourselves an ambitious target to be the market-leading, worldwide private customer and even house office expert in real estate, as well as Ho-Pin’s appointment gets us a step closer to getting to our aim. His appointment allows Knight Frank to serve totally to our customer’s needs in the area, urging private customers on all their real estate deals, despite where in the world they are taking place,” says Paddy Dring, head of the Knight Frank Private Workplace.
Hong Kong, Singapore, and Sydney rank in the leading 10 cities for ultra-prime property deals in 2022. Three hundred forty-five super-prime revenues (sales negotiated for at least US$ 10 million or $13 million) including 53 ultra-prime sales (transacted for at least US$ 25 million) were recorded in all these cities. In addition, non commercial premises remain the more effective real estate financial investments for UHNWIs in the Asia-Pacific zone, particularly in Greater China, where 32% of the complete riches of HNWIs was designated to their primary and secondary residences.
Keong incorporates that the workplace has actually been developed at “impeccable timing”. “I anticipate working very closely with him [Tung] to service our buyers that are located in the place jointly, where local business, assets, property and way of livings have been and continue to be entwined.”
