With the opening of the MTR West Island line, traditional offline districts like Sai Ying Pun have been given a new lease of life, bringing it that much closer to the financial hub of the CBD.
Vanke Holdings (Hong Kong) Company Limited, in collaboration with Cheung Hung Development, has launched 15 WESTERN STREET. Located at Western Street and a mere 2-minute walk to the Sai Ying Pun MTR Station, the project is a composite development with residential units atop a commercial podium.
Covering a total site area of over 4,000 square meters, the project provides 104 comfy and luxurious homes from 213 to 1,127 square feet, ranging from studio to 1-bedroom with ensuite, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom and 3-bedroom with ensuite, in addition to some units with rooftop or flat roofs. Selected units also boast spectacular harbor views.
Families, in particular, will be delighted with the location of 15 WESTERN STREET, as the district embraces a large number of prestigious primary and secondary schools, not to mention the leading tertiary education institution of The University of Hong Kong.
Sai Ying Pun has, in recent years, undergone a remarkable transformation into a stylish residential area where traditional retail outlets are joined by a plethora of specialty shops and up-scale cafes and restaurants, especially in nearby High Street which has been labeled the Soho of the West.
Vanke Hong Kong is dedicated to their corporate philosophy of blending their developments in harmony with their environs. In pursuance of their objective of ‘Art’chitecture sparking your life’, they have incorporated the traditional art of bamboo weaving in Sai Ying Pun in their design of 15 WESTERN STREET via the use of golden bronze lines on the facade, while flexible multi-functional furniture and fittings help optimize the creative use of space.
Residents can take advantage of the comprehensive facilities at the clubhouse, like getting in shape with their state-of-the-art equipments at the gym. There are 4 zones, namely Cardio, Strength, Functional Training and Yoga & Stretch. Or host a barbecue party or other social gatherings at the various event spaces, such as Atelier, The Grill, Al Fresco, Downtown Bar and The Lounge.
“Sai Ying Pun represents a colorful melting pot of Chinese and Western cultures,” says Quincy Chow, Executive Director of Vanke Hong Kong, “The district is humming with vibrancy, and close to a host of community facilities that has no parallels.”
