The University of Hong Kong (HKU) — Pokfield Campus

Rising at 111–113 Pokfulam Road and 13–21 Pokfield Road, HKU's 3-phase Pokfield Campus packs 132,660 m² of non-domestic GFA—a 155mPD Academic Tower, HKU Business School's flagship home, and a multi-level Sports Complex—for HK$8.0B–8.3B (~US$1.03B–$1.06B) in pure construction cost on existing University land (alongside HKU's concurrent HK$2.5B Main Campus Tech Landmark). HKU Pokfield Campus rounds out the global Top 10 right behind Cornell Tech (#9)—and edges single-building peers like Harvard's $1.0B Allston SEC—because its HK$8.0B–8.3B (~US$1.06B) budget excludes Hong Kong Island land altogether. Including Western Mid-Levels land value (or HKU's concurrent HK$2.5B Tech Landmark for HK$10.5B–10.8B / ~$1.38B total) would vault HKU past several multi-campus peers.
