Residential Rentals 2 0 1 3
Southside Comfort Everyone reckons Hong Kong is a place for business. Interestingly – and contrary to what most perceive – it also has quality living space to offer. Premium residential properties can be found across the city – from Tsim Sha Tsui to the Peak; from Kowloon Tong to the Harbor front. For individuals and families who treasure a natural environment, convenience and high standards, look no further than the South Side. Having long been recognized as one of the best places to live in Hong Kong, South Side is home to low-rise townhouses, modern high-rises and secluded mansions – any types of properties that you may be looking for. The following four are some of the best and latest that you many find enticing.

Heavenly Living
I
magine waking up every morning to a staggeringly beautiful vista of the South China Sea. What better way to begin your day than by absorbing the serenity and energy of the ocean and knowing it’s just a few minutes from your front door waiting for you to enjoy it to the full in your free time. That’s what you’ll experience in The Repulse Bay, one of few locations in Hong Kong that offers a knockout view and a pristine beach, yet is just 15 minutes from Central. Living the dream in this desirable location is possible by taking up residence in one of the luxurious de Ricou apartments which all overlook the tranquil scenery. They also offer a combination of luxury and relaxed living, fusing as they do many of the amenities of a hotel with the space and privacy of home. Recently renovated to the tune of HK$300 million, de Ricou comprises 39 unfurnished and 10 furnished and serviced residences in one of the eight residential towers in the grounds of The Repulse Bay. The sleek, ultra-modern interior décor of the apartments sympathetically incorporates natural materials and attention to detail that’s intended to create living spaces that are as harmonious as the location. Thus, warm-looking wood has been used for the floors, ceilings and even some walls, while curved edged designs on some of the fittings create a feeling of Zen-like serenity. The two levels of the unfurnished apartments are connected by an elegant cantilevered staircase and all the accommodation features floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies off the living areas and some bedrooms, allowing natural light to bathe your home. The layouts, which span 1,735 sq ft to 4,955 sq ft, include two-bedroom units for serviced apartments and two-level three-bedroom units with a study and four-bedroom units with a family room for unfurnished apartments. Practical features of the interior incorporate advanced home automation and entertainment systems which can be

operated from an iPad, as well as stylish and eco-friendly kitchens with top-quality appliances from renowned brands such as Siemens and Miele. The accommodation provides everything a relocating family could want – private balconies with stunning views, spacious, luxury accommodation, myriad leisure amenities and a neighborhood ambience not often experienced in luxury, highrise properties. The amenities include an onsite clubhouse where residents and guests can gather to socialize and take advantage of the attractive public areas such as the 23,000 sq ft of lush tropical gardens, The Waterscape outdoor pool and an outdoor playground with colorful murals as well as an indoor swimming pool, a very pleasant cafe serving freshly made meals, a small shop and a communal area with a pool table. Short or long-term guests also share the estate’s internal courtyard and two restaurants – The Verandah and Spices – that attract diners from outside the area. There’s also a shopping arcade with independent boutiques and services that you won’t find in Hong Kong’s famous shopping malls. Built on the site of the former Repulse Bay Hotel, whose guests once included such diverse cultural luminaries as Ernest Hemingway, Margot Fonteyn and Marlon Brando, de Ricou apartments were named after the aerial pioneer, Charles de Ricou, who made transportation history in Hong Kong in the 1920s by offering the first flying boat service from Macau to the Repulse Bay. What an added delight, to know there’s a little bit of history beneath your feet.

The Masterpiece
S
omething of an iconic construction, created by the team of world-famous British architect, Sir Norman Foster, it’s impossible to ignore The Lily which appears to loom over its surroundings in a way that’s grander and more imposing than the average grand and luxury Hong Kong skyscraper. To be sure, it is definitely one of the most recognizable properties in Hong Kong’s Southside. The astounding convex steel and glass structure incorporates four towers comprising 100 properties set in the upscale location of Repulse Bay Road offering a rich mine of amenities and access to a highly desirable lifestyle. While a shuttle service transports residents the short drive to the bright lights and buzzing atmosphere of Hong Kong island with its designer shops and fine dining restaurants, it’s difficult to believe it’s so close when you’re cocooned in this pleasantly exclusive environment that incorporates a 24-hour concierge service and a high level of security. Each plush living space features floor-to-ceiling windows with views over the ocean or the mountains, and contemporary décor, furniture, fixtures and fittings, such as the ultra-modern kitchens that have been designed using German brand Poggenpohl. Every unit is expressively designed for families looking for a superior quality of life in Hong Kong.

The Lily’s 34 sumptuous serviced apartments start from a 1,816 sq ft elegant two-bedroom property with a study space, up to 3,924 sq ft of opulent penthouse with king and queen-sized beds, high-speed wi-fi, 52-inch High-Definition televisions with cable access, 5.1 surround sound systems and iPod docking stations. In addition, a helper can come in to clean six days a week. The 66 other apartments at The Lily are elegant residential units with kitchens fitted out with the same attention to detail as the serviced apartments, but left unfurnished so that residents can create their own unique home. These units begin at 3,545 sq ft for a three-bedroom duplex or four-bedroom simplex, while the 8,000 sq ft, two-storey Sky Light penthouse is a lavish tour de force residence with two exceptionally large terraces affording sensational views and a glass ceiling which is a stunning architectural feature allowing the apartment to be bathed in sunlight or starlight. In addition, The Lily’s residents’ club offers ample entertainment and activities for families with its indoor and outdoor playgrounds, kids’ internet zone and play pool with lifeguard for children. While parents can enjoy the indoor pool with its elegant waterfall or make full use of the state-of-the-art gym which has everything from cardio to weights to stay in shape and looking good. Without any doubt, The Lily – as its name aptly suggests – offers the perfect residence for families who look for a calmer, more relaxed pace of home life in Hong Kong.

Effortless Luxury
V
enture down a leafy, winding street in this affluent part of town and you’ll find a welcome respite from the hectic pace of Hong Kong life. Tucked away on the Tai Tam Road is the row of houses that is Three Bays with the country park in close proximity. It is also just a few minutes from bustling Stanley with its world famous market and wealth of shops, bars and restaurants, as well as being within easy reach of Hong Kong International School, the American Club and the beaches of Repulse Bay and Deepwater Bay. The nine houses with lofty headroom are laid out over four floors, including a lower floor with ample parking space for residents and guests. The spacious accommodation comprises four bedrooms and a decked patio area from which residents can step directly on to a sundeck and slip effortlessly into a 35-metre outdoor swimming pool, children’s pool or Jacuzzi. From there it is possible to take in the expansive and breathtaking views over Stanley, Turtle Cove and Tai Tam Bay. Other benefits include a friendly clubhouse with a convenient function room, gym and steam room.

This homely row of houses is perfect for those in need of some downtime, whether to enjoy the quiet neighborhood or appreciate the facilities, literally, outside your own back door. Kids will love the swimming pool at the back of the house and parents will appreciate the close proximity for safety and security reasons. The timeless style of the architecture radiates a quirky grandeur and is somewhat different to a number of the contemporary cookie-cutter residences to be found in Hong Kong. The terraced gardens add to the coziness, creating an ambience of understated residential calmness and tranquility. Interior dĂŠcor is neutral and a number of well-branded appliances are provided including a Siemens fridge, washer/dryer, Gaggenau built-in cooker with oven and hood, steamer and microwave... Well-behaved pets are welcomed.

For the Discerning Few
L
ocated on the South Side of Hong Kong island, it’s clear that 127 Repulse Bay is truly a one-of-a-kind residence. First impressions are very promising as you approach this unique address via its sweeping driveway enhanced by beautifully manicured shrubbery that leads to a grand entrance. The grounds reveal a touch of movie-star glamour thanks to the palatial swimming pool and sprawling terrace set against the dramatic panoramic backdrop of the ocean and a smattering of Hong Kong’s rugged outlying islands.

Factor in the claim that the area has its own ‘micro-climate’ – locals will tell you that whenever it’s rainy in Central, it’s always sunny in Repulse Bay – and the temptation to live an active outdoors existence would be hard to resist if your home was here. The interior is every bit as impressive as the exterior of this exclusive address in the sought-after location on Hong Kong’s southern shore, not least because all accommodation offers 360 degree views. Each suite measures approximately 3,000 sq ft and comprises four bedrooms, two of which are en suite, and the luxurious décor includes upgraded kitchens and appliances such as an LCD TV to entertain you if you decide to cook. All suites feature long-stripe timber flooring, built-in wardrobes, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom and premium-grade electrical accessories throughout. When it comes to amenities and communal activities, in addition to the plush pool, there is a reading room, cyber cafe, multi-purpose function room, barbecue areas, a gym, squash court, and sauna and steam room. For children, there is a playroom, playground and pool. Evidently, great attention has been paid to the property’s green space as 127 Repulse Bay won a merit award in 2012 from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department for its landscape design and horticultural maintenance. These deluxe properties are provided by Signature Homes which takes pride in offering exceptional service to its clients with a highly trained team that includes Orientation Specialists who can assist the newly relocated with adapting to life in Hong Kong. Steeped in history, Repulse Bay is an exceptional part of Hong Kong offering an unforgettable experience for relocating expats.
