Hong Kong's Secretary for Development, Bernadette Linn Hon-ho, announced that the government will offer nine residential sites to developers in the 2026-27 land sale programme, including three carried over from the previous list, expected to yield about 6,650 flats. Combined with other land sources, the potential supply of new flats is estimated to reach 22,580 units, an eight-year high. Linn noted that the market is recovering, with transactions steadily increasing.
The Hong Kong government announced on February 27, 2026, that the 2026-27 land sale programme will offer nine residential sites located in Stanley, Hung Shui Kiu, Ho Man Tin, Sai Kung, Sha Tin, and Tung Chung. Three of these sites are carried over from the previous programme, with each plot expected to yield between 250 and 1,580 flats, totaling about 6,650 units.
Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn Hon-ho stated on Friday: “It is obvious that the market is recovering, and transactions have steadily increased.” She highlighted the programme's role in addressing housing needs.
In addition to the land sales, combining other sources such as urban redevelopment, private development, and projects linked to railway properties, the potential supply of new flats for the 2026-27 financial year is estimated at 22,580 units, marking an eight-year high. The previous record was set in 2018-19 with about 25,500 flats available.
The programme covers sites in the New Territories and urban areas, including Hung Shui Kiu (part of the Northern Metropolis), Sha Tin, and Tung Chung, supporting Hong Kong's housing supply strategy. The government aims to stabilize the property market through these measures.
