Hong Kong’s government sold a large residential plot at a cheaper price than analysts expected as developers turn cautious amid a worsening economy.

The Kowloon plot, about four times the size of a football field, went to a unit of CK Asset Holdings Ltd. for HK$4.95 billion ($639 million), 10% less than even the lowest of analyst valuations.
