Of all the top-tier residential properties next to the Sha Tin racecourse, Sino Land's The Palazzo stands out for its regality and Romanesque grandeur. Lucky punters undoubtedly have the best view of the track in all of Sha Tin.
The spacious development is the only newly developed luxury residential property beside a racecourse in Hong Kong. The project is a joint venture between Sino Land and the MTR Corporation.
Multimillion dollar vistas notwithstanding, residents enjoy elegant verandas, piazzas, gardens and courtyards inspired by classical European architecture.
The Palazzo's The Derby Clubhouse, for example, is more than 500 metres long and was designed by world-renowned interior designer Hirsch Bedner Associates.
The Los Angeles-based company's global portfolio includes the Fullerton Hotel, Singapore, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, New York, The Peninsula, New York and Park Hyatt, Germany and Switzerland.
The Derby Clubhouse runs parallel to the racecourse offering a great vantage point from a plush and cosy environment - bring relief from Hong Kong's hot and humid nights. The clubhouse also features a refreshingly modern take on European architecture with two elegantly curved staircases and its fa?ade facing the beautiful Borghese Gardens.
