Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay tops shop rent list

The Most Expensive Blog (The home of the most expensive & luxury things in the world) presents Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay tops shop rent list.

 
Hong Kong‘s shopping district of Causeway Bay has knocked New York’s Fifth Avenue off the top of the list of most expensive places to rent retail space in the world.

The Big Apple’s most famous shopping street lost its top ranking for the first time in 11 years, in a sign of the strong demand for luxury goods from cashed-up Chinese shoppers, property services firm Cushman & Wakefield said.

“The highlight of this year’s survey was Hong Kong… notwithstanding slowing economic activity, retailers continued to see the market as the ideal launching platform into mainland China,” the firm said in a statement.

Causeway Bay saw a surge in leasing activity with a 34.9 percent hike in rental values to $2,630 per square foot, compared with $2,500 in New York. The Champs-Elysees in Paris climbed two places to third at $1,129.

“There has been the usual jostling for the top positions between Hong Kong and New York,” Cushman’s Global Retail Services chief John Strachan said.

“But of course the real message here is the unfaltering advance of the top global cities, fuelled by a shortage of supply and the interest of international brands.”

Cushman’s Main Streets Across the World report found that luxury retailing was driving rental growth, with stiff competition for the “most coveted” locations.

The Asia-Pacific region had five of the 10 most expensive locations in the world, thanks to its increasingly affluent middle-class.

Dubai to build world’s biggest mall

The Most Expensive Blog (The home of the most expensive & luxury things in the world) presents Dubai to build world’s biggest mall.

 Dubai on Saturday announced a new development to open the world’s biggest mall and a park larger than London’s Hyde Park.

The ruler of the Gulf desert city state, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, announced the plan for a “new city within Dubai,” according to an official statement, naming it after himself.

No cost was stated for “Mohammed bin Rashid City,” to be carried out by his Dubai Holding and the publicly-listed Emaar Properties, which developed many of Dubai’s prestigious projects, including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower.

The plan also features new residential areas, although the emirate continues to have a surplus of units built during a five-year bubble which burst in 2009.

The “Mall of the World” will have a capacity of 80 million visitors a year to become the “largest in the world,” while its park will be “30% bigger than Hyde Park of London.”

The mall will be connected to a family entertainment centre to be developed in cooperation with Universal Studios International that will be the largest in the region, aiming to attract six million visitors a year.

The emirate already has countless malls and hotels, including the Dubai Mall, touted as the world’s largest shopping, leisure and entertainment destination, with 62 million visitors this year.

“The current facilities available in Dubai need to be scaled up in line with the future ambitions for the city,” Sheikh Mohammed said in the statement.

Dubai’s tourism is growing by 13% a year with hotel occupancy hitting 82% in 2011 while hotel revenues grew 22 percent last year, exceeding $4.4 billion.
