Sources: Laopu Gold to lease entire floor at Hong Kong’s One Exchange Square

Laopu Gold deepens Hong Kong footprint with entire-floor lease at Central tower: sources

Beijing-based jeweller Laopu Gold is set to move into One Exchange Square in Central, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The company has leased an entire mid-floor there to support its global expansion plans.

One source said Laopu Gold was taking around 13,000 square feet at the flagship Central tower. The building houses Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX).

Deal comes amid wider mainland business presence

The deal comes as mainland consumer firms and financial institutions increasingly anchor their presence in Hong Kong’s core business district. That broader shift provides the context for Laopu Gold’s new premises, alongside the company’s global expansion plans.

Recent transactions on the 36th floor of the same building fetched monthly rents of some HK$1.69 million (US$215,000), according to Centaline Property Agency data. The figure relates to recent transactions at the tower, while the sources identify Laopu Gold’s lease separately.

The available details place the jeweller’s planned move within both its international expansion strategy and continuing leasing activity at One Exchange Square.
