Housing in Hong Kong is expensive and, according to various international surveys, the city ranked among the world\u2019s most unaffordable places to live in 2025.<\/p>\n

Despite this, property agencies remain prolific, especially in Hong Kong\u2019s more affluent districts, and their shop windows are always covered with posters of new tower blocks set against beautiful, computer-generated backdrops.<\/p>\n

\u201cMemories Per S.F.\u201d examines Hong Kong\u2019s past through a private collection of vintage sales brochures, tracing the evolution of the city\u2019s housing market and offering a reminder of a time when a home was not a commodity that comes with a lifelong debt.<\/p>\n
