As of 12:00noon today, over 500 units have been sold. Together with the 127 units sold in previous bloc transactions, approximately 630 units have now been transacted, representing 80% of total units available, generating HK$5.2 billion in revenue. Both companies expect the strong momentum to carry into December, as enquiries and appointments continue to pour in.

Two bloc sales were concluded in November; Sjóvá-Almennar tryggingar hf, the largest Icelandic insurance provider, purchased all 68 units in Tower 4, followed by the Macau Property Opportunities Fund, a closed-end investment company listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange, purchasing 59 units in Tower 6. Prior to the public launch, the developers received more than 500 cashier orders through real estate agents or directly from prospective buyers, and all 72 units offered on the first day of the launch were sold out in the first three hours, demonstrating public interest and confidence in the property. The developers have since been releasing additional units to meet market demand. -
