A luxury flat in Hong Kong has sold for 225 million Hong Kong dollars (28.8 million US), the most expensive apartment per square foot ever sold in Asia, a report said on Wednesday. The 80th floor penthouse with a private swimming pool and spectacular view of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour sold for 41,000 dollars per square foot, a report in the Sing Tao Daily said, citing an unnamed real estate source. The 5,497-square-foot (511-square-metre) flat, with its own roof-top terrace, is located in a new complex called The Arch, in Hong Kong's Kowloon area. The Arch is close to a yet-to-be-completed office tower, the International Commerce Centre. The new tower is attracting multinational firms away from the central business district, where rocketing property prices have scared away even the world's richest firms. The flat's price beat the record of 39,800 dollars per square foot set last November for a larger apartment on Hong Kong island, according to the report. Hong Kong's property market has boomed in recent years, following a major crash during the Asian financial crisis in the later 1990s. (Agencies) |
据本周三消息，香港一套豪华公寓日前以2.25亿港币（2880万美元）的高价售出，这是全亚洲售出的单价最贵的一套公寓。 《星岛日报》援引一位匿名的房地产界人士的话说，这套每平米售价41000美元的公寓位于一幢80层楼的顶层，有一个私人游泳池，并且可在此尽观维多利亚港的美景。 这套带有屋顶露天平台的公寓面积共5497平方英尺（511平米），位于香港九龙的“凯旋门”新高档住宅区。 “凯旋门”住宅区毗邻正在建造的九龙国际商务中心写字楼。 这幢新写字楼吸引了香港核心商务区（CBD）的很多跨国公司入驻，由于CBD的房产价格不断上涨，以致于一些最富有的国际公司都给吓跑了。 该报道称，“凯旋门”这套公寓的单价打破了去年11月某套公寓每平方英尺售价39800美元的记录，之前的这套公寓面积稍大，地处香港岛。 香港楼市在上世纪90年代末的亚洲金融危机中受到重创后，近年来升势迅猛。 | ||
