Dash Living Expands Hong Kong Portfolio with Acquisition of 98-room Hotel Next to Times Square

Backed by Rava Partners, the APAC flexible living leader secures its 10th Hong Kong location with a 26-storey, 98-room asset.

HONG KONG, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dash Living, Asia Pacific's leading fully integrated living sector investment and operator platform backed by Rava Partners, the real assets strategy of Hillhouse Investment, has announced the acquisition of 39 Morrison Hill Road in Wan Chai, formerly operating as BeLiving Youth Hub.

The property is located a 3-minute walking distance from the iconic Hong Kong landmark, Times Square, seamlessly connecting guests to the popular tourist destinations and business hubs like the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The property will be converted into a hybrid hotel and serviced apartment under Dash Living's signature all-inclusive flexible living model, rebranded as Dash Living on Morrison.

At a purchase price of approximately HK$400 million, the asset was acquired at over 60% below pre-Covid asking price and is significantly below replacement cost.

Being Dash Living's 10th location under management in Hong Kong, Dash Living on Morrison increases the firm's assets under management to over US$500 million in the city.

"This acquisition reflects our strong momentum and deep conviction in the long-term growth of both Dash Living and the Hong Kong market," said Aaron Lee, CEO and Founder of Dash Living. "With the continued recovery of the real estate market and surge of tourism and overseas talents, we see tremendous opportunity to bring this type of irreplaceable location, once in a cycle investment to our capital partners."

"Dash Living continues to be the market leader in the Hong Kong living sector, with its proven track record of creating alpha with its technology-enabled operating platform," said Hillhouse partner and Rava co-head Joe Gagnon. "With the market showing clear sign of recovery, we are excited to continue supporting Dash's growth in the market with a core asset at an attractive basis".

Since Rava's investment in 2025, Dash has grown its AUM by 3 times to US$1.1 billion with over 2000 beds under management, expanding the footprint in Japan and Hong Kong SAR with the support of capital partners such as Greystar, BlackRock, Schroders, TE Capital Partners and many more.
