REPULSE BAY MANSIONS

31 FLATS NOW IN COURSE OF ERECTION

There is taking place in the Repulse Bay area, adjoining the Repulse Bay Hotel, on an extensive site overlooking the lovely prospect of the Bay, a rather remarkable development.

This development consists of the erection of three blocks of flats set amid nearly 40,000 square feet of garden area. The centre block will contain ten flats of 6 rooms each with a penthouse apartment of 7 rooms; and the two wing blocks will each contain ten 5-roomed flats.

A perusal of the floor plans shows the careful planning that has gone into this project. The two flats on each floor share a common lift hall with a staircase that is accessible through the main service hall, if required.

Each flat has been individually planned to allow the maximum light, space and comfort. Every bedroom has a private bathroom adjoining. Dining and living rooms extend the full depth of the flats without the dividing walls and doors which waste space and air. The living rooms open on to spacious, tiled verandahs.

Each flat has a boxroom and a closet. Kitchens, servants quarters and working spaces are arranged for convenience and efficiency. With every flat is included a garage space and a bathing cabin, situated in the basement area.

All floors in the main rooms will be of teak parquet in attractive patterns, The flush-type doors are also of teak, while windows are provided with heavy-section steel case- ments with bronze fittings.

Bathrooms, kitchens and pantries have dadoes of white or coloured glazed tiles. The bathrooms have mosaic floors and coloured quarry tiles,

It is estimated that the total cost of the construction, including the cost of the land, will be about HK$4,380,000.00. This figure, if apportioned amongst the flats would work out to a cost of HK$155,000.00 for each of the ten 6-roomed flats; HK$135,000.00 each for ten of the 5-roomed flats; HK$130,000.00 for each of the other ten 5-roomed flats; and HK$180,000.00 for the 7-roomed penthouse.

Repulse Bay Mansions Ltd.. a recently formed company, are financing the project which is due to be completed within seven months.
