Wee Hur acquires Kowloon office tower for student housing project

The project will offer about 500 beds.

SGX Mainboard-listed Wee Hur Holdings Limited has acquired One Bedford Place, a Grade-A commercial building in Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

In a statement, the group said it has bought the asset for an undisclosed sum.

It added that it plans to reposition the site into a 500-bed purpose-built student accommodation.

Operations are expected to commence in the first half of 2028, subject to the requisite regulatory approvals.

The 26-storey commercial building comprises two basement levels and has a total gross floor area of approximately 184,000 square feet.

The development is the group’s second student accommodation investment in Hong Kong, after Starvia by Y Suites on Fortress Hill, a 19-storey, 246-bed development at 151 King’s Road.

In a separate statement, Wee Hur said Starvia by Y Suites is expected to start leasing in the second half of the year.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
