The red stick. Baton Rouge, hard hit in 2005 by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, more than 30,000 residents have moved there to take advantage of the Gulf Opportunity Zone. With the rapid population growth, there is a number of projects going on in the city. With the support of the Downtown Development District, there are many commercial developments under way in the Central Business District. For example, the four-block North Boulevard Town Square project is expected to break ground next summer, comprising of the $100 million state courthouse building. In addition to the North Boulevard Town Square, there is also a 12-story, 260,000 square foot Class-A office building under construction. It seems that Louisiana is finally recovering from the “Katrina Bump” with its world class universities as well as its petrochemical and shipping industries.

Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s largest real estate developer by volume holds a series of for-lease apartment units in its portfolio through its Signature Homes brand name. The following are some of its properties (according to the SHK website) in the Mid-Levels. If SHK Properties hesitates to sell these properties and chooses to hold them to rent out to tenants (mainly expats who gets a housing budget each month from his/her company), then they should be great investments to hold.

* Dynasty Court
* Hamilton Court
* The Harbourview
* Hillsborough Court

These properties are located in the height of the Mid-Levels, at the foothills of the ultra-exclusive Peak neighborhood. The downside to buying these to hold and rent is that there may be intense competition from SHKP’s own properties for rent. SHKP also holds more properties in Island South, Central and Kowloon Station.
