HONG KONG, 1 June 2015 – The Mark, a premium new office development in Kwun Tong managed by real estate asset manager Pamfleet, received positive response in the leasing market. Four and a half floors of office space had already been leased since the official launch in March.
The Mark is the only new office building with typical floor-plates under 5,000 square feet in Kwun Tong for the next two years. The building commands sea views of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and Victoria Harbour. Pamfleet appointed JLL as sole leasing agent and property manager, and the building received numerous leasing enquiries after it was launched for leasing.
