With more than a century of experience between them, the stories of the Post’s veteran journalists recount Hong Kong’s transformation in real estate, finance, ESG and technology.
A day after Hong Kong's wealthiest man closed what was in 2018 the world's largest real estate deal, Peggy Sito was assigned to figure out how a consortium of buyers would share the spoils of the HK$40.2 billion (US$5.15 billion) office tower they just bought from Li Ka-shing. It was an assignment that involved numerous searches of company registrations, corporate filings, dozens of interviews and phone calls, in addition to her duty as the Deputy Business Editor at the South China Morning Post.
The three winning entries were among the 13 won by the Post out of 76 prizes across 17 categories offered by the Newspaper Society, the media industry’s guild in the city.
