Alibaba and Ant Group buy Hong Kong office tower for $925M to launch new headquarters.
Alibaba and Ant Group have agreed to buy the top 13 floors of One Causeway Bay in Hong Kong for HK$7.2 billion ($925 million), the largest office transaction in the city since 2021.
The deal includes 301,555 square feet of space, parking for 50 vehicles, and signage rights.
The purchase will serve as the companies’ new Hong Kong headquarters, supporting their global expansion.
The building, developed by Mandarin Oriental on the former Excelsior hotel site, is part of a broader effort to address Hong Kong’s office vacancy crisis.
The sale aligns with Mandarin Oriental’s asset-light strategy and is expected to close by year-end.
Both companies have long-standing operations in Hong Kong, with Alibaba entering in 1999 and Ant launching AlipayHK in 2017.
The project, managed by Hongkong Land, is set for completion in 2025–2026.
