Why Hongkongers are buying up luxury homes in Zhuhai, one of the 9 Greater Bay Area cities

Small and sophisticated, these Huafa Hills luxury villas are primed to be irresistible to wealthy investors who are keen to own property in the Greater Bay Area
The hype of the Greater Bay Area development zone has lured many prospective property buyers to the Chinese border.
Since the opening of the Zhuhai bridge, the namesake city has attracted a lot of interest. The South China Morning Post reported that Hongkongers spent around 10 billion yuan (US$1.48 billion) on homes in the Greater Bay Area last year. This is a 10 per cent increase compared to 2017.
Now, property developers, such as Huafa Group, are hoping to attract more high-end buyers with a portfolio of luxury property development in the Zhuhai region.

Wilson Associates, a global interior architecture firm, is presenting two model villas for Huafa Group. On completion, Huafa Hills, where the properties are located, will host villas including luxury features reminiscent of Western luxury offerings.
The model villas at Huafa Hills were completed in December 2018, and sales have been open to the public since March this year.
“Huafa Group has given us an exciting opportunity to bring our visions of residential luxury to life at Huafa Hills,” says Aldwin Ong, design principal of Wilson Associates’ Singapore Studio. “The model villas are designed to serve as a starting point for what our studio can do, and we look forward to working with clients to tailor their own refined experiences for future residences.”

The larger of the two villas draws inspiration from traditional European influences and is designed featuring a whisky lounge, wine cellar, private swimming pool, and a second-floor master suite complete with his and hers amenities, and a private terrace. A central lobby with marble flooring connects the wine cellar and whisky lounge.
