Ken Griffin’s Citadel and Citadel Securities are snapping up extra office space in Hong Kong to accommodate expanding teams, a vote of confidence in a city that’s seen an exodus of professionals frustrated by its Covid restrictions and Beijing’s tightening grip.
Hedge fund Citadel leased the 59th floor in premium office tower Two IFC, adding 22,000 square feet, while market maker Citadel Securities took up a similarly sized 42nd floor, according to people familiar with the matter. That’s in addition to a third floor they already occupy in the building.
