Some of Hong Kong’s small property developers are grappling with renewed liquidity strains despite signs of recovery in the local real estate market, putting them on shakier ground than larger players in the sector. One such developer, Far East Consortium International Ltd. , saw the biggest daily drop in its bond prices since late 2022 on Thursday after it said it would defer a distribution payment on a $360 million perpetual bond. Far East Consortium, which has residential and commercial property developments in Hong Kong, mainland China and other regions, has been plagued by liquidity strains for years but this is the first time it has made such a move. Far East Consortium’s struggles come despite growing optimism over Hong Kong’s property sector, which had languished for years in a prolonged slump. The city’s home prices are forecast to climb as much as 15% this year, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. That’s helped ease pressure on larger companies like Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. , which recently secured a HK$20 billion ($2.6 billion) bank loan at its lowest borrowing cost in years. Smaller property firms face a longer road to recovery. Many are more exposed to commercial real estate, where the recovery has been slower, and their size makes it harder to have a pipeline of projects ready to go when the market starts to rebound. “Larger players roll over bank loans supported by their diversified, high‑quality portfolios and they are viewed as systemically important,” said Lei Zhu , Head of Asian Fixed Income, Fidelity International. “In contrast, smaller developers typically own older or single‑asset properties that have seen sharp valuation declines in the high‑rate environment.” With liquidity still strained after the downturn, a range of smaller builders are trying to either delay debt payments or refinance, but negotiations have been rocky. Lai Sun Development Co. , controlled by local tycoon Peter Lam , is in talks with creditors as it tries to delay paymen...
