This is not the first time Yoho West has set new rent records. Earlier this month, a one-bedroom unit in the same development was rented out for HK$12,800, equating to HK$44.8 per square foot, breaking the previous record of HK$43.7 per square foot achieved in late November. Yet, in just two weeks, the studio unit has now surpassed these figures, further setting a new high for Tin Shui Wai.
Meanwhile, in Tsuen Wan, another apartment has also broken rental records. A mid-level unit in The Aurora’s Block 3, with a usable area of 216 square feet, was recently rented out for HK$15,300 per month, achieving a staggering HK$70.8 per square foot. This marks the first time a unit in the four-year-old development has surpassed HK$70 per square foot, setting a new record for the Tsuen Wan area.
The owner of the Tsuen Wan unit purchased it in August 2024 for HK$4 million and is now earning a rental yield of around 4.6%.
These recent transactions highlight the ongoing demand for rental properties in Hong Kong, with both Tin Shui Wai and Tsuen Wan developments achieving record-breaking rents.
