2 Barker Road
{An array of top-notch features}
DEVELOPMENT 2 Barker Road is on the corner of Barker Road and Peak Road and comprises 11 houses set in the tranquil environment of the Peak. The flagship residential project was developed by China Resources, a renowned developer that specialises in the luxury leasing market on the Peak. The project was completed at the end of September last year and targets senior executives of multinational companies and tenants living in comparable developments on the Peak. Five of the houses were leased before the official launch in November at rents in the range of $200,000 to $300,000 per month.
DESIGN 2 Barker Road is the culmination of the large-scale renovation of the former Sky Court. The prestigious development has an array of stunning features that meet the most discerning standards. All houses are more than 4,000 sqft and are spaciously laid out with four to five bedrooms, split-level living/dining rooms, fully fitted Poggenpohl kitchens with Gaggenau appliances, maid's quarters and double garages. A combination of private gardens, balconies and roof terraces offer something for everyone. Joseph Tsang, international director and head of residential department at Jones Lang LaSalle, said: 'With its array of top-notch features, coveted location, breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour and the South Side, 2 Barker Road is the leasing project of the year.'
LAYOUT The living room/dining room is on the first floor on split levels. Three large bedrooms occupy the second floor. The master bedroom is on the top floor and has a luxurious en suite bathroom installed with heated towel rails and LCD TV. There is also direct access to the roof terrace.
FACILITIES The indoor gymnasium features state-of-the-art equipment, a resort-style pool and landscaped gardens to ensure the well-being of its residents.
LOCATION All buildings in the area are height restricted, so most properties are town houses or low-rise units. The project fills a niche at the top end of the luxury leasing market and is particularly appealing to those looking for the best views of Hong Kong. This luxurious development is close to international schools, shops and parks. It is a 10-minute drive to Central. Minibus No1 commutes to Tamar Basin and bus No15 goes to Central via Stubbs Road and Wan Chai.
