Looking through the information, the record of the land price in Hong Kong appeared in February last year. At that time, a consortium led by Wharf won the bid for No. 9 and 11 Man Fai Road, The Peak. The land price was as high as 7.25 billion yuan, or 50,010 yuan per square foot. The Repulse Bay land king pushed the record by another nearly 25%. Previously, the market was quite optimistic about the land. The estimated valuation ranged from 1.03 billion to 1.43 billion yuan, and the land price per square foot was 54,000 to 75,000 yuan. Therefore, the land price this time was within market expectations.

As for the last piece of land sold in the area, it was the No. 110 Repulse Bay Road, which was acquired by Dachang Properties in 2012 at a price of 1.668 billion yuan, and now "108 PULSA in Repulse Bay" has been completed. The land price was about 39,673 yuan, and this time, the land bid in Java nearly 10 years later has pushed the land price per square foot in the area by 57%. It is worth noting that behind the site is Cheung Kong's newly built terraced houses at 90 Repulse Bay Road (90 REPULSE BAY ROAD). Pricey.

Java: Rent collection for proposed villas

Chen Kaixin, general manager of the Java Group's sales department, replied to the media yesterday, saying that the land is a rare luxury residential land supply in Repulse Bay, and the company also sees the sea view. The group currently plans to build 2 to 4 villas on the land, which are expected to be used for rent collection, with a total investment of about 1.6 billion yuan, and it is expected to be completed in 3 to 5 years.

The land price per square foot can reach 110,000

Fang Yaoming, senior director of Knight Frank’s Valuation and Consultancy Department, believes that the winning bid for the site on South Bay Road in Repulse Bay is reasonable, reflecting that the winning bidder is optimistic about the super luxury property market. Although the land is located on a slope, it should be possible toThrough site leveling and design adjustments, the property can enjoy panoramic sea views after completion. Zhang Qiaochu, managing director of Hongliang Consulting and Evaluation, pointed out that the location of the land is convenient, it is close to the shopping mall THE PULSE, and the degree of privacy is quite high, which offsets the shortcomings of the land and landscape. It is expected that the land price per square foot will reach 110,000 yuan after completion .
