The younger Lau, chairman of Hong Kong-listed developer Chinese Estates Holdings, has appointed Centaline Property Agency to market houses A and D at 31 Barker Road. The three-storey detached houses in Hong Kong’s most exclusive residential neighbourhood enjoy a full Victoria Harbour view.
The four-house 31 Barker Road project was developed by Chinese Estates and completed back in 2003. It is close to the residences of top government officials, businessmen and consuls.
The properties are being offered for sale at a time the luxury home market is starting to reap the benefits of the city’s international borders reopening after the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Hong Kong’s luxury home prices remain strong, having outperformed the overall market in recent years,” said Martin Wong, Knight Frank’s Greater China head of research and consultancy. “With the border reopening with the mainland and international markets, the transaction volume is expected to gradually increase.”
Wong believes luxury property prices will grow this year as the United States begins to slow down the pace of interest rate increases, and because of the limited supply in Hong Kong.
