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.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
