Glasgow football club announced death of 'friendly' member
Pollok Football Club sadly announced the death of Archie McDougall, one of their committee members. In a touching tribute, the Southside club said the 82-year-old's early football supporting days were spent at Firhill and Ibrox, where he got a boost over the walls to watch games for free. (Image: Newsquest) When living in the Langside area of the city, Archie became acquainted with former Pollok FC President Gordon Ritchie, who encouraged him to head along to Newlandsfield, Pollok's home ground, over 50 years ago. The invite to Pollok's stadium then sparked Archie's 'love-affair' with the local club.

"The thoughts of everyone at Pollok FC are with Archie's family and friends at this difficult time." Paul Regan, Pollok FC's Club President, said: "Archie was the friendly face that welcomed players, officials, referees and supporters to Newlandsfield for a number of years. "Whether with a joke, a story, or a card trick, he was always great company, and it was fitting that he was able to attend our final league game, where we as a club were able to show our appreciation to him before his passing. "Coming so soon after the passing of his dear friend Fergie, this loss represents the passing of another true Pollok man, who embodied so much of what is good about this club. "His determination to keep coming to games right to the end was inspiring, and he was a genuine joy to spend time with. "He will be very sorely missed."

New World Sells 138 Hong Kong Homes at Discount Within Hours
New World Development Co. and its partners sold 138 apartments in a few hours at a new project after pricing the homes at a discount to lure buyers in Hong Kong's sluggish real estate market. The companies sold the apartments in Deep Water Pavilia in southern Hong Kong Island on Saturday within a few hours, according to New World. The homes were the cheapest of any new residential project in the Southside area. The low price, coupled with declining interest rates, have attracted homebuyers while bringing much-needed cash to the embattled developer.

First batch of flats in NWD-led Deep Water Pavilia goes on sale on Saturday
A consortium led by New World Development (NWD) on Saturday will sell the first batch of flats in a new residential project on the south side of Hong Kong Island after pricing them below neighbouring developments. The announcement comes as property consultancy Knight Frank expects home prices in the city to remain under pressure as developers continue to offer hefty discounts to reduce their inventories amid ample supply. NWD said on Tuesday that 138 flats in the 447-unit Deep Water Pavilia project in Wong Chuk Hang would be offered for sale at an average of HK$21,028 (US$2,680) per square foot. NWD owns 50 per cent of the project, which it is co-developing with Empire Group, CSI Properties, Lai Sun Development and MTR Corp. Prospective buyers have submitted 2,500 cheques – more than 18 times the number of flats available – for a chance to buy homes in the project. The project's first price list released last week was about 3 per cent lower than the initial price list of CK Asset Holdings' nearby Blue Coast II in October, and it undercut all of the completed projects in the Southside residential neighbourhood , according to data compiled by property agencies.

The units going on sale at Deep Water Pavilia include two to four-bedroom flats ranging from 455 sq ft to 1,261 sq ft. The prices of these units are between HK$8.5 million and HK$37.2 million, or HK$18,688 to HK$29,538 per square foot after discounts.

New World Development and partners set record-low price for Southside Hong Kong flats
A consortium of builders led by New World Development (NWD) priced a new residential project on the south side of Hong Kong Island below all neighbouring developments, as the embattled company seeks to whittle down HK$124 billion (US$15.8 billion) in debt. The developers priced 101 flats in the 447-unit Deep Water Pavilia project in Wong Chuk Hang at HK$20,932 per square foot. That was about 3 per cent lower than the first price list of CK Asset Holdings' nearby Blue Coast II in October, and it undercut all of the completed projects in the Southside residential neighbourhood , according to data compiled by property agencies. The price was around 30 per cent lower than the first batch at Southland, the first phase of Southside, which launched in April 2021 at HK$29,689 per square foot. Property deals in Hong Kong fell to a three-month low in May as caution prevailed amid heightened US-China tensions and stock market volatility. Residential transactions fell 10.3 per cent from a month earlier to 5,105, Land Registry data showed. The 101 units comprise 95 two-bedroom flats, two three-bedroom units and four four-bedroom homes, priced from HK$8.5 million to HK$37.2 million, or HK$18,688 to HK$29,538 per square foot after a 20 per cent discount. The first sale for the project – co-developed by Empire Group, CSI Properties and Lai Sun Development – could begin as soon as next week, according to NWD, which owns 50 per cent. The sale is expected to provide some relief for cash-strapped NWD, which said last week it would postpone interest payments, due this month, on four perpetual bonds totalling US$3.4 billion.
