Over the last few years Macau has begun attracting an increasing number of property investors. There are several reasons for this. Firstly the area has a very robust economy and is already well known for its casinos and gaming. it’s becoming ever increasingly a hub for tourism and then there are many industries to be found here. Macau has a growing need for office space and here at JML we have plenty of commercial properties for sale. Macau is a draw card for many foreign expatriates who are seeking an interesting area in which to work as well as to live.
The region offers the unique prospects of a mix of Chinese and Portuguese culture – basically there is nothing like Macau anywhere else in the world.
Macau may have its roots in a deep past, but it looks toward the future and is a thriving and practical place. It has its own modern transit system which makes getting around Macau a cinch. And Macau is certainly not isolated; it is extremely well connected to the rest of the region thanks to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. Both fast and practical, the bridge brings everything nearer and it is no longer difficult to get around. For example, travel times from Macau to Hong Kong Port are approximately a half hour if you are using a shuttle bus; and from there it’s a quick ride to central Hong Kong.
If you are heading to the province of Guangdong, the bridge brings you directly to Zhuhai and from there you can go onto Shenzhen or Guangzhou.
All of this underlines just how important Macau has become in the region; the existence of these contemporary transport links mean that it is a crucial player in this part of the world. Macau is attractive partly because traveling outside it has become so easy. It is certainly not an inward-looking place, engulfed in its own past. If you are looking for a Macau office for sale, it is likely that your interest stems from a desire to be connected to the rest of the region – and, of course, beyond it.
Macau also offers further incentives for those who move here; if you buy a Macau office for sale and set up a business or use an existing one, you will be able to benefit from Macau’s taxation system. Taxes are on the low side and the taxation system is easy to follow. Not just that, the profits tax has been set at under 12 per cent and most goods won’t be burdened with import duties. There are also various government incentives. And last but certainly not least, you will not be subject to profit repatriation.
Most properties in Macau will be reasonable condition. Some may require work of one kind or another, while others are ready to move into.
There are mid-range office spaces that are quickly snapped up because they are very reasonably priced. At the same time their location is very favorable for business. And many will be well designed and maintained.
There are even more affordable offices to be found if you are willing to sacrifice a little on the modernity of the building and/or the location. Prices naturally drop once you are away from the busiest locations and are very reasonable in the more suburban areas.
A recent newcomer to office space has been so-called co-working spaces. These are becoming ever more popular with digital nomads and others who are working remotely. They are also favored by those who are thinking about operating a startup. Many of these office spaces tend to be in excellent locations and may feature quite a wide range of amenities, making them highly attractive investment propositions.
At the top end of the market there are sophisticated offices to be found in the heart of Macau in locations such as Cotai and the Macau peninsula. If you invest in one of these offices you can expect to have an excellent layout and design, as well as cutting edge technology. Such office space is very popular with multinational companies and those who are operating in financial or legal areas.
