For sale: HK$819m house on Hong Kong's Peak is world’s most expensive per square foot

Ignoring the Hong Kong government’s attempt to rein in home prices, Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) is offering a super-deluxe house on The Peak for HK$175,735 per square foot.

If it fetches that amount, it will be the world’s most expensive home in terms of price per square foot.

SHKP released the price list of the 12 houses at Twelve Peaks in 12 Mount Kellett Road on Wednesday night, with the priciest, No 1, going for HK$819.1 million.

That is not far short of the HK$880 million billionaire Cecil Chao Sze-tung was asking for his headquarters office building, the 32-storey Cheuk Nang Plaza at 250 Hennessy Road in Wan Chai, when he put it up for sale earlier this week.

The house has a saleable area of 4,661 sq ft, a 4,478 sq ft garden, a private pool, a 273 sq ft terrace, a 813 sq ft rooftop and 917 sq ft of car parking space. It also comes with a 220 sq ft air-conditioning plant room.

The sale of the houses is open to the public. Last week, SHKP cancelled the sale by tender of houses No 11 and No 12 at Twelve Peaks when the bids fell short of its asking prices.
