Forty land transactions were made in the quarter ending in March, seeing a total premium of $5.2 million, the Lands Department says.

It registered 36 lease modifications including 29 for residential purposes and seven for non-residential developments. Of them, 18 were on Hong Kong Island, 13 in Kowloon and five in the New Territories.

Another four lots were granted by private treaty during the period. They were granted to the Housing Authority in respect of existing public housing developments.
