Sai Kung’s low-density residential developments and modern village houses attract city dwellers
Sino Land’s The Mediterranean and New World Development’s Mount Pavilia are pick of big developments attracting newcomers to the district
Over the years, Sai Kung has been a magnetic attraction for city dwellers who love to hike, fish or sail.
The area is known as the “Back Garden of Hong Kong”, a blend of rural tranquillity and urban vibrancy. The district stands out with its low-density residential developments and modern village houses that draw a continuous stream of residents and families moving into the neighbourhood.
Given a limited supply of new residential properties in Sai Kung’s town centre area, the sale of Sino Land’s The Mediterranean in Tai Mong Tsai Road has attracted plenty of attention since its launch at the end of last year.
Victor Tin, associate director of the sales department at Sino Land, says there was virtually no supply of new residential properties in the Sai Kung area over the past decade, so, once launched, The Mediterranean will become a focal point of the district.
“As of June 9, a total of 119 units in the project were sold. Many are residents and end-users living in Sai Kung,” he says.
The Mediterranean offers a low-density resort-style lifestyle, featuring 297 units in four towers. The flats come in a wide range of layouts, ranging from one-bedroom to four-bedroom units, plus special units, such as ones with a garden, rooftops and sky pools.
