Hysan Development Company Limited (“Hysan”) today announced the first office tenant for its newest property, Hysan Place: KPMG, the international accounting firm. As part of its continued expansion in Hong Kong, KPMG has signed a nine-year lease for the 20th to the 25th floors of the building, taking up an area of approximately 80,000 sq ft. KPMG will consolidate its Central offices into one building, further expanding and relocating a substantial part of its client-facing professional practice groups to Hysan Place when the building opens in the second half of 2012.
Wendy W.Y. Yung, Executive Director at Hysan, said: “We are delighted to welcome an organization of the caliber of KPMG. Hysan Place represents the next generation of office buildings – it is the first LEED Platinum pre-certified building in Hong Kong, on top of best-in-class architecture and technical specifications. Over the years, Hong Kong has established itself as an international financial center, and with the ever-growing demand for top-quality office space, Hong Kong needs more than one core business district. This transaction reflects the financial community’s solid endorsement of our Causeway Bay office community as the most natural extension of Central.”
