Park Island Property on the rise again

Wow, latest data out from Centerline. Of all all the estates in Hong Kong, Park Island increased more this week than any other, rising 10.23%, averaging 9258 per square foot.

I am not sure how many transactions this is based on but it is a remarkable increase, and will surely be reflected in bank valuations next week.

The index also showed Hong Kong properties rising 2% overall this week.

    I HAVE SAID ALL ALONG THAT PRICES WILL GET TO 10k PSF. IF YOU LOOK AT THE QUALITY AND VALUE ANYONE BUYING NOW IS GOING TO DO VERY WELL. THESE ARE ENDUSER PRICES AND RESIDENTS, NOT MAINLAND SPECULATERS BUYING OVERPRICED RUBBISH IN TST TO LAUNDER THEIR MONEY.

    Wow, what accounted for the big move? I know people are coming over and looking to buy as i have seen buyer type looking people with agents around the place, but any details on did they buy larger units, smaller ones, or how many sold recently?

    Same old story. Those in the market gloating about rising prices and those priced out left to wonder if we should get in. Sigh.

    I am an agent on Park Island. We use the parkisland blog to show customers photos sometimes. There have been in our records 11 transactions this month until now. One was in Anacapri. That was the highest priced one and 11m for 1100 psf.

    The more common ones to be sought after now are the ones that are 700 to 1000 psf. These are cheaper and better value for your money. Not many of the original owners left now so all the new owners will not sell so cheaply. That is a problem for agents but it is also a positive as it means buyers can know the price will go up.

    The Government tax is unwelcome so when that is removed that will be the time for the large increase to arise.

    Incredible. I wish the madness in property prices end soon. Good for those who have bought in Park Island. Seems like the agent think there is strong support as most are end users.

    Transaction prices in Anacapri might skewer prices (upwards) but hopefully there are not too many transactions there since buyers were predominantly end users or long term investors.

    3 factors at play here. 1, China. 2 US economy and QE. 3 Will they build an MTR to Park Island or not, or allow cars to enter. Those are your factors to determine where prices will go from here.

    tend to agree. not sure when but at some point the HK economy will get back on fire, and at that point limited supply will lead to rocketing up of prices.

Pool facilities on Park Island

Image
My favorite pool on Park Island is the outdoor pool at the Blue Blue Club. Blue Blue Club Outdoor Pool Right now, as things warm up, one thing I enjoy is eating a meal overlooking the pool, and then having a relaxing swim, followed by relaxation the jacuzzie. I usually swim 2 to 3 times a week, and I find it a great form of exercise. One thing I really like about Park Island is that apart being surrounded by ocean (where you can swim if you wish) there are a large number of resort-style pools to chose from on the island. The Blue Blue club has the outdoor pool (pictured above) and an excellent Olympic style indoor pool (pictured below), also with 3 jacuzzie (one large mixed-sex one, and then one each in the mens and ladies rooms, along with steam saunas, dry saunas, etc). Blue Blue Club Indoor Pool The other pools are located at the Green Green Club house, in the middle of the Park Island (again with communal jacizzie), and also a huge outdoor pool near the Phase 5 apartments...

When will private cars be allowed on Park Island?

As promised, here is an update on the discussions I have had with the Hong Kong Planning Department and the Hong Kong Transport Department. First, below is the actual response I received in relation to submissions and inquiries related to allowing access and car parking for private cars for Park Island residents.  This office has consulted Transport Department on your proposal. T his email serves as a coordinated reply by Planning Department and Transport Department. The construction of the Airport Core Projects had impacts on the planning for Ma Wan. The Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok is about 12km to the west. The Lantau Link, which is the major transport link between Lantau and the urban area, passes over Ma Wan. Ma Wan is located at a prominent location along the Tsing Ma and Lantau transport corridor and subject to traffic capacity and infrastructure constraints. Comprehensive planning and control on development on the island with due regard to ...

Green Green Club on Park Island

Image
Park Island has a number of club houses across the Estate. All residents can use any of the club facilities. Normally I hang out at the Blue Blue club, as I like the outdoor pool with the infinity effect overlooking the ocean, but I recently went to the Green Green club for a change, and took a look around. Here are my pics, in no particular order: -The club house has lots of activities for kids (and adults posted). Here is a snapshot of one of several pages of current activities. Park Island Activities for Residents Childrens' activities on Park Island -The Green Green club has a number of insulated music rooms, some with pianos and others empty. This is a GREAT idea for people (and children) who wish to practice music without disturbing neighbours. Its also a good idea for anyone who likes to play the piano, but does not want one taking up space in their apartment! Park Island Music Room -At the center of the club house there is a nice open roof "zoo". See...
