Centaline Investment has announced a major step in its student housing strategy with the acquisition of Bonham Residence, a prime property located at 38C Bonham Road, Mid-Levels West. The residence will be transformed into modern student housing under the CampusOne Communities brand, further strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a hub for international education and investment.
A Prime Location for Student Living
Situated within walking distance of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and other leading institutions, Bonham Residence is set to become home to approximately 200 beds. Plans include vibrant communal areas, dedicated study spaces, and recreational facilities that foster an engaging student community.
“Bonham Residence’s prime location makes it an ideal choice for student housing,” said Josephine Kong, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Centaline Investment. “With Hong Kong’s non-local student population growing year on year, this project perfectly reflects our vision to provide comfortable, affordable, and community-driven living spaces that support academic success.”
Building on Proven Success
The launch follows the success of One Pace 117, the first CampusOne Communities project in Hong Kong, which achieved 100% occupancy within two months of opening. This momentum underscores the strong market demand for purpose-built student housing in the city, where supply continues to lag behind demand.
“Student housing is one of the most resilient and fast-growing segments in Hong Kong’s real estate market,” noted Kavis Ip, CEO of Centaline Investment. “Driven by the rising influx of overseas students, the sector offers both stable returns and meaningful community impact. Bonham Residence is part of our wider plan to deliver at least 3,000 beds in Hong Kong in the near term.”
Unlocking Long-Term Value
As Hong Kong universities continue to attract international talent, the demand for student accommodation is surging. Through CampusOne Communities, Centaline Investment is providing student-centric housing solutions while creating new opportunities for investors and partners to participate in Hong Kong’s growing student housing market.
Centaline Investment welcomes investors and partners to join in the development of student housing and work together to make Hong Kong one of Asia’s largest student housing investment markets.
