HONG KONG PROPERTY SALES AND DEVELOPMENT
We build top quality residential properties in prime locations and take a highly disciplined approach to sales in order to optimize value. The result is that our properties are consistently well received in the market.
Riding on improved sentiments in the Hong Kong residential market, the Group launched the sales campaigns for The Long Beach and The HarbourSide during 2014. As a result of the sale of 412 residential units and some car parking spaces, our property sales turnover reached HK$9,814 million. The 412 residential units sold comprised 261 units of The HarbourSide and 151 units of The Long Beach. Overall profit margin realized was 75.6%.
As at December 31, 2014, the Group has over 55,000 square meters of residential apartments for sales. These mainly include 708 units in The Long Beach, 18 semi-detached houses at 23-39 Blue Pool Road and 11 units in The HarbourSide. These units will be ready for release in 2015 if market conditions are favorable.
