Ma Wan viewed from above

Here is some pretty cool aerial film footage of Park Island and Ma Wan shot with a GoPro and a drone. 

I thought for a moment it might peep into my apartment but fortunately its not that invasive. Also has some pretty cool footage of the old village part of Ma Wan.

    My view is that HSBC valuations are quite conservative. As a rough guide, the market price should be 10% over bank valuation. But yet, they do appear to going up. Not rapidly, but slowly and steadily.

    Right now the Chinese Government is meeting to consider the growth plans for long term planning on the Pearl Delta region. Ma Wan is smack in the middle of the major strategic regions, so I foresee a strong future in terms of demand for Park Island property. Prices are still entry level for an investor on Park Island.

    There is a RED TIDE right now around Ma Wan. Can you capture it on a drone recording?

    Prices up 1% this week according to the CCI. Anyone who sold recently thinking market was peaked is very foolish.

    Its a little harsh to call a seller foolish. Yes, prices have moved up again recently, and appear likely to for the rest of the year or so, but we don't know for sure how rapidly the US will raise rates so some owners are naturally a bit concerned and might want to lock in their profits. Also who knows maybe a seller is selling to buy a larger place. If prices keep going up that might also be a good move. In short you don't know a person's individual circumstances, and even if prices keep going up they may have had good reason to sell (eg moving overseas, a better investment opportunity has presented itself, etc).

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...

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...
