This is part one of our ongoing series – Boutique Apartments around the World.

Boutique apartments have becoming a trend in many places around the world.  The major selling point of such apartments is convenience.  They are typically located in infill locations in hustling and bustling commercial districts.  For example in Hong Kong recently, there have been a series of new and popular boutique apartment projects that have been quite successful.  For example, there is the SOHO 38 in the Mid-Levels Central, located right next to the escalator that takes one up and down the Central Mid-Levels and to major hangout locations like Lan Kwai Fong and SOHO.  Another project on Hong Kong Island is J-residence, located in Wan Chai, close to Admiralty, Pacific Place and the Central Business District.  Developers, such as K. Wah and Chinese Estates, in conjunction with the Urban Renewal Authority, have been successfully rolling out luxury infill boutique apartments throughout the Wan Chai area.  Again, the major selling point is convenience.  In the Kowloon side of Hong Kong, there have been quite a few new additions to the game, including Cite 38 and City 18, located near Prince Edward and Jordan MTR stations, respectively.  Both are developed by Henderson Development and prove to be quite popular.  Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s largest developer is currently marketing Bedford 28, a hip boutique complex near Mong Kok and West Kowloon.  Overall, boutique apartments are becoming quite popular in Hong Kong, especially for the new growing yuppie class.  As people wait longer to get married and have kids, the yuppie class will have extra income to spend on luxuries they deserve.

For more information about boutique apartments in Hong Kong, I would recommend contacting an estate agent or another professional who specializes in such market segment.  I also suggest checking out our affiliate blog, West Kowloon Properties for more information on real estate pertaining to West Kowloon, Hong Kong.
