新鸿基地产发展有限公司(Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., 0016.HK, 简称:新鸿基地产)在香港富人区――香港太平山(Victoria's Peak)新开发了一个楼盘Twelve Peaks,其中1号屋已经上市,售价为8.191亿港元(合1.057亿美元)。如果全款购买,则相当于每平方英尺175,735港元,这有可能是全世界有史以来单价最贵的豪宅,同时也是整个香港有史以来最贵的豪宅。
The recently constructed home spans 4,661 square feet, with four bedrooms, a private pool, a garden, rooftop terrace and a carport that can house two cars.
这幢近期竣工的豪宅面积为4,661平方英尺(合433平方米),有四个卧室,一个私人泳池,一座花园,屋顶有露台,同时还有一个可容纳两辆车的车库。
Hong Kong has broken its share of records before. The most expensive home sold to date in Hong Kong was a 5,989 square-foot manse on 10 Pollock's Path, also located on the Peak. That house sold for HK$800 million, or HK$133,578 per square foot, in 2011.

Luxury realtors in Hong Kong have long hoped that the luxury home market, which has stalled since the Hong Kong government implemented1 higher stamp duties to constrain2 a runaway3 housing prices, would breathe life again.
香港的豪华房地产经纪人一直在期待豪宅市场的复苏。为了抑制涨势失控的房价,香港之前提高了印花税,这导致豪宅市场陷入停滞。
Those interested in the latest listing will be encouraged to act fast: A buyer will be offered a 3% discount if a deal is made within five months. Sun Hung Kai is also offering the early-bird buyer a 11.75% rebate4 on the 15% buyer's stamp duty.
这个新楼盘的开发商将鼓励感兴趣的买家尽快出手:在楼盘推出五个月内签约的买家将获得3%的折扣。新鸿基地产还将向前期买家退还11.75%的物业买卖印花税。在香港,购房人需缴纳15%的物业买卖印花税。
Discounts have lately become common practice in Hong Kong as developers hope to stoke lagging demand of new homes.
为刺激萎靡的新建住宅需求,开发商近来普遍打出折扣。
