Why Hong Kong's Student Housing Market Faces a Race Against Time The surge in non local student enrolment has created a severe mismatch between demand and supply, leading to a boom in investment in student housing.
Between 2020 21 and 2025 26, the number of non local students more than doubled from 47,900 to 92,000, with the majority coming from mainland China.
This influx has driven significant investment in student housing, with HK$10 billion worth of transactions recorded in the first half of this year alone.
