On private housing, it is estimated that the completion of private residential units will average over 19 000 units annually in the five years from 2022 onward, representing an increase of about 14 per cent over the annual average of the past five years. The projected first‑hand private residential unit supply for the next three to four years is 98 000 units, reaching a new high in recent years.
