Hong Kong developer Lai Sun’s Yuen Long project a sell-out as buyers regain confidence

Hong Kong developer Lai Sun Development saw robust sales for its new residential project in the New Territories priced at a 10-year low, as buyers made the most of the recent rate cut and strong stock market performance.

Almost all 98 units on offer at The Parkland, located at 266 Tai Kei Leng in Yuen Long, were sold as of 5pm on Sunday. Most of the buyers were first-time buyers, according to agents.

Units in The Parkland range from 265 sq ft to 488 sq ft, with the first batch including 80 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom flats. The discounted selling price ranges from HK$2.43 million (US$313,000) to HK$4.63 million, or HK$8,614 to HK$10,663 per square foot. All 80 one-bedroom units are priced under HK$3 million.

The cheapest flat is a 282 sq ft one-bedroom unit priced at HK$2.43 million. It nearly matches the least expensive unit in Domus, developed by Paliburg Holdings in New Territories’ Hung Shui Kiu area in 2015, at HK$2.39 million.
