US investment firm Susquehanna International Group has agreed to lease more than 4,808 square metres (51,762 square feet) of office space at the Cheung Kong Center II, a prime office skyscraper developed by CK Asset Holdings in Hong Kong’s main business zone of Central, according to market sources.
Neither Susquehanna nor CK Asset immediately replied to the South China Morning Post’s requests for comments.
The new space would span three floors of the property, according to the sources.
Susquehanna’s current listed address in Hong Kong is at the AIA Central on Connaught Road Central, close to Cheung Kong Center II on Harcourt Road.
The group moved to its current address in 2021, leaving Three Garden Road, also in Central, “with a significant cost savings”.
Hong Kong’s office property market is currently seeing a gradual recovery with Central leading the upswing, according to analysts, with one citing the record-setting lease by trading firm Jane Street in the district last year as an example.
