When government put up a very rare piece of prime land on the Stanley peninsula for tender in 2016, no less than 12 top developers threw their hat in the ring, with K&K Property emerging as the winner in its determination and vision to turn it into a paragon of luxury living. The rest is history as the development now takes shape as ONE STANLEY, a brand-new, ultra-luxurious icon for the Southside of the Island.

A coveted elite suburb
Tracing its history as one of the original settlements in Hong Kong and an important administrative center, Stanley has come a long way, morphing into an exclusive suburb inhabited by the rich and famous due to the combined appeal of its coveted seaside location and low-density development. In terms of popularity and privacy, it is on a par with such distinguished suburbs as Shouson Hill, Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay and Tai Tam.
Today, Stanley has gained the reputation as the back garden of the Island, a tranquil and salubrious district with green foliage whichever way you turn. It boasts two excellent white sandy beaches, Stanley Main Beach and St. Stephen’s Beach, that are popular with swimmers, windsurfers and canoeists alike. A leisurely stroll along the tree-lined waterfront promenade is reminiscent of living the high life in the Riviera lined with inviting bars and fine-dining restaurants. Further on past the amphitheatre in Stanley Plaza are the historical Tin Hau Temple, the Victorian-era Murray House that has been re-located brick by brick from Central, and a replica of the vintage Blake Pier.
For recreation, there are private clubs aplenty in the neighbourhood, such as The American Club, Aberdeen Marina Club, Hong Kong Golf Club, Hong Kong Country Club, and more. Families can really call Stanley home with a wide choice of international schools and local schools to look after their children’s education needs, including Hong Kong International School, Canadian International School of Hong Kong, The International Montessori School, St. Stephen’s College, and more.
For commute to the city, there is a choice between Repulse Bay Road and Tai Tam Road. The newly introduced smart traffic signalling system means driving on the reservoir dam is now a breeze, free of congestion.
A rare gem not to be repeated Perched on a prime site at the higher and more exclusive section of Wong Ma Kok Road, ONE STANLEY marks the largest launch of luxury residences in the district for the last two decades, and is unlikely to be repeated any time soon.
The project comprises a total of 82 units, including eleven 4-storey blocks with the largest unit measuring some 3,300 sq ft in size. There are also 32 independent houses, measuring from 2,700 to 7,000 sq ft, each with a private lift, and some equipped with a private swimming pool; the largest house boasts a private garden and rooftop of around 9,400 sq ft.
No expenses have been spared with the commissioning of Robert A. M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), a world-renowned and multi-award winning architectural firm, in conceptualising the design and optimising the site’s usage and configuration. As befits an ultra-luxurious residence, the choice of materials and appliances is of the highest specifications, and the quality of finish is simply impeccable. The only goal that matters is to curate a residence that meets clients’ every need and expectation.
Hugging the slope of the peninsula, ONE STANLEY enjoys spectacular, uninterrupted vistas of the emerald coast line and beyond to the archipelago in the shimmering South China Sea. Imagine indulging in the daily ritual of having a glass of Champagne in hand whilst watching the golden sunset in all its glory from the comfort of home!
K&K Property notes that the luxury property market has continued to fare strongly. Recent notable transactions include a villa in Stanley Village Road selling for HKD274 million; a house in Deep Water Bay fetching a staggering HKD3.6 billion, at $218,181 per sq ft; and another luxury property in the same area changing hands for HKD266 million.
With demand constantly surpassing supply in the luxury end of the market, K&K Property’s timely launch of ONE STANLEY is set to fill a void in this niche market, and satiate the demands of savvy buyers.
