THE COST OF

NEW BUILDING

By a China Mail Reporter

GOVERNMENT publication short- A

ly to be released will show that the cost of now building in the 1956-57- financial year was the second highest in the last seven years,

The annual report of the Commissioner for Rating and Valuation will show that in- vestors in Hongkong have spent more than $160 million in building homes, factories, godowns and flats, offices and shops in dif- ferent parts of the Colony apart from the New Territories.

This amount was spent in the construc- tion of about 2,200 structures of all shapes and sizes.

The figure represents only money spent on construction work by private builders. It does not include the cost of Government. buildings, or the value of land purchased by the investors.

EQUAL TO GOVT INCOME

This imposing amount is almost equal to the total Government income in 1947-48.

In the 12 months ending March, 1956, builders and contractors spent nearly $174 million.

In the seven years from 1950-57, Hong- kong builders have spent more than $821 million on the building of houses and shops or structures valued from under $50,000 to skyscrapera costing more than a million dollars. This brings the average amount spent in each of the last seven years to à little more than $116 million.

Though skyscrapers are going up in many parts of Hongkong, a large portion of the total money spent is on domestic premises. According to Government figures, the proportion of the total cost of new building work represented by domestic premises rose from 49.18 per cent in the year 1950-51 to 74.42 per cent in 1955-56, giving an average of 59.72 per cent in the six years ending March, 1956.
