    Altogether 843 units of various layouts and between 243 and 860 square feet in size will be offered in tranches, mainly featuring Studios and One-bedroom Units, with Two- and Three-bedroom Units also available, all elaborately crafted by top-rank architectural firms.

    New Batch of 180 Units in Response to the Sought-after Initial Lot of 105 Units

    Following the implementation of the Top Talent Pass Scheme and other brain-gain policies, and addressing the resurgent home leasing market in Hong Kong prompted by the growing demand from Mainland Chinese and overseas students back on campus, TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON, a large-scale leased housing project in the SHKP West Kowloon Integrated Development Blueprint, sees active transactions with the first 105 early bird units, following the announcement of the first price list in July, fully leased out in a month. The earliest intake of the first batch is expected to commence gradually in October this year. The Project announces today a new batch of 180 units on offer, mainly Studios and One-bedroom Units plus select Two- and Three-bedroom options.

    TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON is in close proximity to the Group’s V Walk shopping mall and MTR Nam Cheong Station, just two-MTR-stop away from Kowloon Station and the High-Speed Rail West Kowloon Terminus. As the largest premium leased housing project for premium young talents in Hong Kong, TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON is well-received by new-gen youth with its pioneering Aparthotel concept that offers flexible leasing terms: allowing residents an exclusively quality lifestyle with accommodative stays on a daily, monthly or even annual basis, complemented by personalized hotel services.

    A Standing Ovation to Premium Living Space

    The functionally capable and aesthetically pleasing spatial design is another hallmark of the Project appeal. TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON partnered with the world-renowned interior design practice Conran and Partners and the top Hong Kong-based architectural firm LAAB to elaborately craft four main room type and Trio, the special offering. The minimalistic and modern design language and maximal space utilization cater to the diverse needs of storage, rest, socializing and home office, informing the work and life of premium young talents with all possibilities in a bespoke, ideal dwelling. The well-crafted TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON rooms, with interconnected space and open views, bring in the outdoor scenery via thoughtfully designed floor-to-ceiling windows, projecting the semi-panoramic splendor of Victoria Harbour and buzzing city-scape in the line of sight. High-standard smart appliances also enable a cozy, hassle-free stay for premium young talents.

    Disrupting the traditional lifestyle in a rented abode, TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON breaks spatial monotony and reimagines a one-of-a-kind residence for new-gen, experientially-minded premium young talents. Working with a host of international and local brands of renown, TOWNPLACE throws exclusive brand events, in which premium young talents meet up with like-minded pals – or even prospective business partners – in the nothing-is-impossible TOWNPLACE Community, topping up the value of their choice. Standing tall in the center of West Kowloon, the future-looking TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON exemplifies the tenancy of premium young talents, enveloping art and ingenuity in superb designs. Best-in-class composition and ultra-high value in focus on premium young talents’ desires for an ideal residence with prized potential, experience and revaluation, setting the course of their dreamed lifestyle.
