JPMorgan signs as anchor tenant for SHKP’s West Kowloon office development

The US investment bank JPMorgan has signed to lease 250,000 sq ft in Artist Square Towers, which will house its Kowloon operations from late 2028. Targeted for completion in 2027, the development comprises three harbourfront blocks offering about 672,000 sq ft of premium office space and 27,000 sq ft of retail space.

Artist Square Towers (AST) is a key project by Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) in Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District. The development includes three harbourfront blocks—East Tower, West Tower, and South Tower—with the East and West Towers linked across the top eight floors, where JPMorgan will occupy the top six connected floors.

The move to Hong Kong’s main cultural hub will provide the bank’s employees with expansive retail spaces, wide dining options, and convenient transport links, including the MTR’s Kowloon and Austin stations, the Airport Express, West Kowloon Ferry, and the high-speed rail to mainland China.

This leasing agreement underscores ongoing interest in West Kowloon’s office market amid Hong Kong’s property developments.
