WHERE Duddell’s, Central

HAPPENINGS: To unveil its luxury condominium in the heart of Vancouver, Canada, developer Westbank Corporation splurged on a starry soiree. Socialites and celebrities including Taiwanese-born Canadian model and actor Godfrey Gao, former CSI star Archie Kao and model-turned-designer Gaile Lai flew in especially for the event.
Construction of the luxury condo, designed by world famous Bjarke Ingels Group, is set to begin next year. Guests got a sneak preview of the futuristic design before wining and dining at the hip Chinese restaurant. The well-heeled crowd attended the after-party in the VIP area upstairs. Westbank CEO Ian Gillespie announced at the event that his firm is aiming to sell about 25 per cent of the units to Hong Kong buyers.
OVERHEARD The customised interior, furniture and arts have a big impact on the condos – and the price tag too.
