“This not only underscores the property’s geographical and strategic advantages but also demonstrates the confidence of the financial investment sector in the development of Hong Kong’s business,” said David Tang Chi-fai, Property and International Business Director of MTR Corporation.

“Since the launch of QRT in 2018, we have recognised Hong Kong as a critical hub for both regional and global operations and securing a long-term lease at Two IFC reinforces our confidence and commitment to the city,” said Murray Steel, Chief Operating Officer (APAC) of QRT.

QRT, based in London, operates globally with a diverse range of investment strategies across geographies and asset classes.
