As of 8:25pm, 180 of the 198 units on offer had been sold, according to the agents. Pavilia Forest I recorded more than 3,700 orders from prospective buyers as of Wednesday, which made this weekend’s sale close to 18 times oversubscribed, local media reported.
Prices at Pavilia Forest I are the lowest among the new projects launched in Kai Tak, according to Sammy Po Siu-ming, chief executive of Midland Realty’s residential division for Hong Kong and Macau, who predicted a sell-out on the back of strong interest in the aggressively priced flats on offer.
The first 60 flats of the project were being offered for as low as HK$16,008 (US$2,050) per square foot, with discounts of up to 18 per cent compared to other new developments in the same area, according to Midland Realty. The initial units on offer, ranging between 234 and 512 square feet (47.6 square metres), are priced from HK$3.86 million to HK$9.87 million.
