From the Paper:

"Hong Kong is an international market that sports an excellent legal system, offers companies low tax rates, and due to the limited available land for development usually offers a good real estate investment value. Since 2004 the Hong Kong real estate market has doubled in value. Much of that gain is perceived in value especially when the entity perceiving the value uses the fair value model to assign a value to the property.
"In Hong Kong, the government controls the land. The island of Hong Kong is approximately 425 square miles and those miles are home to approximately seven million citizens. Land is valuable and limited. One of the best investments a citizen of Hong Kong has been able to make throughout the years is to purchase land, oftentimes seeing a double, triple or even quadruple in value over a short number of years."
