  "account": "Susquehanna International Group, a US investment firm, has entered into a lease agreement for over 4,808 square metres (51,762 square feet) of office space at the Cheung Kong Center II in Hong Kong's Central district, according to market sources. The Cheung Kong Center II is a prime office skyscraper developed by CK Asset Holdings. Susquehanna's expanded space would occupy three floors of the building.

Office vacancy rates in the Central business district dropped to 10.2% by the end of Q2, down from 14.5% a year prior, as occupant demand remains strong. Office spaces in Central declined to 10% vacancy as of August. Despite the construction of approximately 111,484 square metres (1.2 million square feet) of new office space in the second half of the year, Colliers forecast that rent corrections in Central will likely be minimal, as the market had already factored in the new supply. Furthermore, Coliers upgraded its forecast for Central and Admiralty rents to a 10% increase for the current year.",
