"In Hong Kong, strong market demand and a lack of new land supply continue to push property values ​​higher, while the structure of the office market in Mumbai has improved significantly,"Nicholas Holt said.

Meanwhile, Savills recently set a price of HK$24.5 billion (about US$3.1 billion) for the Langham Place Office Tower in Mong Kok district. The price will become a new record for an office building transaction in this city.
