As of 1pm on Saturday, 75 of the 138 flats on offer at the
New World Development (NWD)-led luxury residential project in Wong Chuk Hang were snapped up, about four hours after sales started, property agents said.
All the units on offer, which are worth HK$1.53 billion (US$196 million), are expected to be sold out when sales close this evening, according to Louis Chan Wing-kit, chief executive at Centaline Property Agency.
'Deep Water Pavilia is located on top of an MTR station, which is convenient,' Chan said. 'Sale prices are also lower than other properties in the area, which attracted both end users and investors to buy flats in the project.'
Centaline had some big buyers who took part in the weekend property sale, according to Chan. One spent HK$79 million to buy eight two-bedroom flats, while another paid HK$55 million to acquire five two-bedroom flats.

The strong sales of the Deep Water Pavilia project reflect how the city's major property developers are continuing to offer hefty discounts to reduce their inventories amid ample supply.

How Huawei's silicon strategy defies US sanctions to advance China's AI ambitions
Advertisement Huawei's advanced AI chip initiative, however, suddenly faced a major obstacle a year later in August 2020, when the US Commerce Department tightened restrictions by barring the sale of semiconductor products and services – sourced from anywhere with US technology – to the company and its affiliates without a requisite licence. As a result, Huawei supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co , the world's largest and most advanced contract chipmaker, ceased doing business with the Chinese firm and its integrated circuit (IC) design unit HiSilicon to comply with US curbs. At the time, the prognosis appeared dire for Huawei, according to some analysts. 'If enough companies comply globally, Huawei's ability to generate workarounds will be severely undercut, putting its continued existence as a viable commercial entity in doubt ,' said Paul Trolio of New York-based political risk consultancy Eurasia Group. Fast-forward to 2025, and Huawei has remained resilient in the face of US sanctions Huawei Technologies' Ascend 910 processor.
