Hung Shui Kiu to get 26,862 new homes


Hong Kong's government plans to build 26,862 new private and public housing homes at Hung Shui Kiu in Yuen Long - 5,210 more than the previous plan.

About 90 percent, or 24,267 units, are for public housing and are located in nine sites adjacent to the proposed Hung Shui Kiu MTR station on the Tuen Ma Line, according to the application received by the Town Planning Board.

The remaining 2,595 private units are included in the two sites at Ping Ha Road.

The proposed development will house an additional 7,130 people, said the government, as it suggested relaxing the plot ratio and building height restriction for the 11 sites. The maximum plot ratio is proposed to be increased to 6.5 and 6.8 for private and public housing sites respectively. The building height for four public sites and one private site may be increased to between 135 and 175 meters above the principle datum, or no more than 51 stories.

In the private market, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) said yesterday that phase 2B of University Hill in Pak Shek Kok will launch the first round of sales on Saturday, offering 183 flats, with the cheapest priced at HK$3.33 million after discounts.

Meanwhile, a home with two car parking spaces at Opus in Mid-Levels has been put up for tender for HK$680 million, according to the agency.

The luxury home on the fifth floor has an area of 5,154 square feet and includes five bedrooms, a study, living room, dining room and kitchen. Each of the 12 Opus homes occupies an entire floor.

The property is extremely rare as no units at Opus have been put up for sale since its launch on the market, an agent said.

The tender closes on August 8 with the property sold on an "as is" basis with non-vacant possession.

Creditors put tycoon Chen Hongtian’s US$86 million Frank Gehry-designed Hong Kong flat up for sale

The HK$680 million (US$86.72 million) flat in Opus Hong Kong has been put up for sale by tender by the receivers, according to a property agency

Fifth-floor unit ‘easily one of the most precious residential properties in Asia’, an agent says

Creditors continued selling tycoon Chen Hongtian’s assets in Hong Kong on Tuesday.

A HK$680 million (US$86.72 million) flat he owned in Opus Hong Kong in eastern Mid-Levels has been put up for sale by tender by the receivers, according to a statement by an agent, which said it had been appointed the sole agent for the deal.

Chen and his wife, Chen Yao Li Ni, bought the fifth-floor flat on 53 Stubbs Road for HK$387 million in September 2015, according to official records. In February, the flat was seized by Bank of Communi­cations, which extended a mortgage in August 2019. The bank has appointed Deloitte China partners Derek Lai Kar-yan and Ivan Chan Man-hoi as the receivers.

The flat’s current market valuation stands at HK$680 million, the agency told the Post.

“Its value is extraordinary, making it easily one of the most precious residential properties in Asia,” the agent said with regard to Opus Hong Kong.

Chen, whose Cheung Kei Group owns offices, hotels and finance firms, has had at least three assets seized by lenders in Hong Kong. The three properties – a 9,212 sq ft house at 15 Gough Hill Road on The Peak, the Opus Hong Kong flat and One HarbourGate East Tower – were mortgaged with banks for about HK$6 billion, but are valued at about HK$10 billion, according to Chen.

Chen told the Post in 2016 that the Opus Hong Kong flat was “too tiny” and that was why he bought the Gough Hill Road property.

Tuesday’s developments come a day after One HarbourGate East Tower in Hung Hom was also put up for sale through a tender by receivers. “I will ask lawyers to study it,” Chen told the Post when shown a statement about the tower on Sunday.

The open tender for the Opus Hong Kong flat, which comes with two parking spaces, is to be closed at noon on August 8 tentatively and will see the property sold on an “as is” basis in its current condition with non-vacant possession, which means it may not be empty.

Developed by Swire Properties on a site long possessed by the company as a home for its executives, Opus Hong Kong is the fruit of a collaboration with Frank Gehry – it is his first and only residential project in Asia.

The 5,154 sq ft flat comprises five bedrooms, of which four are ensuites, a study, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen. It has an open-plan design and a ceiling height of more than four metres, and is the only unit on the entire floor, the statement said.

The building twists to give each of its 12 flats a unique floor plan, and is only a nine minutes’ drive away from the business district and SoHo in Central.
