Designer Flat with Private Terrace

Situated close to Times Square, this nicely renovated apartment is a true oasis in the heart of the city.  It has a false ceiling with recessed lighting.  The brick accent walls are painted in simple off white.  The glass partition separating the bedroom from the living area is to make the apartment feel more spacious.  The ensuite bedroom has good storage through the walk-in closet.  The living area has an open kitchen.  French doors in the living area opens to a large private terrace, which is great to outdoor dining and entertaining.  Not to mention, the terrace will be equally welcomed by the dweller’s canine friends.

Priced at HK$7.5 Million, the price point is particularly suited for first time buyers.  As an investment, the property can easily rented out at HK$28-30K and earning 4.5-4.8% return.

Completed in 1978, Bowrington Building is a 23-storey building with 6 apartments per floor from 1st to 14th Floor, 4 apartments per floor from 15th to 22nd Floor, and retail shops on the Ground Floor.

Situated at the junction of Wanchai and Causeway Bay, this building offers ultimate convenience for its dwellers for shopping and entertainment. As a reference, Times Square is within 3 minutes walking distance. It is also very close to many notable office towers including Times Square, Lee Garden, Hysan Place and Sino Plaza. It is also well connected to other districts via MTR as the closest exit is within 5 minutes walking distance.

Wanchai is a vast and densely populated area covering east of Admiralty, west of Canal Road before CWB shopping district. Wanchai waterfront is a reclamation area with prime commercial buildings along Harbour Road include Central Plaza, Sun Hung Kai Centre, Harbour Centre and Great Eagle Centre, government buildings, and five star hotels. Gloucester Road used to be the promenade along the harbor. Due to the view and superior location, commercial developments sprang up over the years to form an impressive front of office buildings along Gloucester Road. There are a mixture of residential and commercial buildings in the rest of Wanchai areas.

During the past decade or so, a number of impressive projects along Queen’s Road East initiated by Urban Renewal Authority were completed. These projects, including The Zenith, J Residence and The Avenue, together with the concerted effort by private developers were responsible for the rejuvenation of this area into a vibrant and upscale residential and commercial district. The displacement of older establishment by trendy shops and restaurants adds to the attractiveness and flair of the area. Gentrification continues as upcoming projects such as Mega Tower Hotel by Hopewell and other residential developments will continue to reshape this quarter into an attractive area to live and play.
