# Retail Construction Cost Planning: Sha Tin Wai, Hong Kong SAR, China

> Sha Tin Wai retail cost planning using the World Bank ICP 2021 national construction price-level index of 141.8, plus a GeoNames-based local comparable-search shortlist.

- Canonical: https://harth.build/resources/construction-costs/retail-construction-cost-sha-tin-wai-hk/
- Last updated: 2026-09-15
- Data source: National screening observation from the [World Bank ICP 2021 API](https://api.worldbank.org/v2/sources/90/country/HKG/classification/PX.WL/series/1501200/time/YR2021/data?format=json) and [ICP data documentation](https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/icp/data); locality and population from the [GeoNames HK dump](https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/HK.zip) (CC BY 4.0 snapshot 2026-08-26, GeoNames ID 1818916). The PLI is not a city cost/m² rate, current escalation series or tender estimate.

## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| National construction PLI | 141.8 (World Bank ICP 2021; World = 100) |
| Screening ratio to world | 1.418 (dimensionless PLI ÷ 100; not a city location factor) |
| Locality reference | 22.3776, 114.1975 (GeoNames ID 1818916) |
| Snapshot population | 80,000 (27 of 50 listed Hong Kong SAR, China places) |
| Nearest listed peer | Sha Tin · 2 km (great-circle distance between GeoNames reference points) |
| Estimate currency | HKD (obtain a current local rate and named base date) |

## Direct answer

For early retail construction cost planning in Sha Tin Wai, the World Bank ICP reports a 2021 Hong Kong SAR, China construction price-level index of 141.8, with the world equal to 100. This is a national comparison—not a Sha Tin Wai HKD/m² rate or tender estimate—so replace it with current local evidence before budgeting or procurement. The observation covers construction across Hong Kong SAR, China in 2021; it does not measure a Sha Tin Wai market basket or current retail tenders. GeoNames 1818916 records the locality at 22.3776, 114.1975, with snapshot population 80,000. That ranks Sha Tin Wai 27 of 50 listed places, while Sha Tin is the nearest listed peer at about 2 km. Use these facts only to plan the comparable search. Obtain current local rates on a consistent area basis, then reconcile scope, taxes, fees, contingency and escalation. Retain the source, base date and reviewer when local evidence replaces the screening ratio.

## What does the 141.8 construction index mean?

The World Bank ICP 2021 construction PLI for **Hong Kong SAR, China is 141.8**, compared with a world benchmark of 100. It is a national spatial price comparison assembled for the 2021 reference year. It does not say that retail work in Sha Tin Wai costs 1.418 times a current world rate.

## Which Sha Tin Wai inputs are known?

The reproducible locality point is **22.3776, 114.1975** (GeoNames 1818916). Its snapshot population is **80,000**, ranked 27 of 50 listed places; GeoNames classifies it as a populated place in administrative area NST. These facts shape the local comparable search, not the price.

## What must a project estimate add?

For a Sha Tin Wai retail project, reconcile shell condition, tenant fit-out, servicing, trading constraints and landlord works. Use a consistent gross-floor-area basis and record the following before reliance.

| Estimate field | Screening record | Project requirement |
| --- | --- | --- |
| National context | ICP 2021 PLI 141.8 | Retain only as dated cross-country context |
| Local HKD/m² rate | Not supplied | Current comparable with named source and base date |
| Area and scope | Gross floor area; scope unresolved | Measurement standard, specification and procurement route |
| Additions | Not supplied | Taxes, fees, site work, contingency and escalation |
| Review | Automated source and arithmetic QA | Qualified local cost review |

## Price-level normalization worksheet

For a validated reference rate **R** from a country with construction PLI **P**, the transparent screening calculation is **R × (141.8 ÷ P)**. At P = 100 the dimensionless ratio is 1.418; no world cost rate is asserted. Keep the reference rate's currency, base date, area basis and scope attached.

| Input | Recorded value | Release condition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Target national PLI | 141.8 (World = 100, 2021) | Screening context only |
| Reference construction PLI P | User-supplied from the same ICP classification/year | Must match reference rate country |
| Validated reference rate R | User-supplied | Named source, currency, date, area and scope |
| Local Sha Tin Wai adjustment | Not asserted | Replace with current local comparable evidence |
| Result status | Screening normalization | Not a budget, quote or tender estimate |

## Sources and method

National screening observation from the [World Bank ICP 2021 API](https://api.worldbank.org/v2/sources/90/country/HKG/classification/PX.WL/series/1501200/time/YR2021/data?format=json) and [ICP data documentation](https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/icp/data); locality and population from the [GeoNames HK dump](https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/HK.zip) (CC BY 4.0 snapshot 2026-08-26, GeoNames ID 1818916). The PLI is not a city cost/m² rate, current escalation series or tender estimate.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the 141.8 index give a retail cost per m² for Sha Tin Wai?

No. 141.8 is the World Bank ICP 2021 national construction price-level index for Hong Kong SAR, China, with the world equal to 100. It is a cross-country screening statistic, not a Sha Tin Wai HKD/m² rate, escalation index, quote or tender estimate.

### How should a Sha Tin Wai retail estimate replace this screening benchmark?

Collect current Sha Tin Wai comparables on a consistent gross-floor-area basis, reconcile shell condition, tenant fit-out, servicing, trading constraints and landlord works, and state base date, currency, taxes, fees, site work, contingency and escalation. A qualified local cost professional should review the resulting project estimate.
