世界上最貴的豪宅在香港上市
In Hong Kong, luxury real estate prices keep climbing to the stratosphere.
在香港，豪華住宅價格不斷刷新紀錄。Developer Sun Hung Kai Properties is listing House No. 1 at its new Twelve Peaks development located in the city's exclusive Victoria's Peak neighborhood at 819.1 million Hong Kong dollars (US$105.7 million) a buyer pays full price, it would represent a cost of HK$175,735 per square foot and would be the world's most expensive home ever sold on a per square foot basis. It would also be the most expensive home ever sold in the city.
新鴻基地產發展有限公司(Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., , 簡稱：新鴻基地產)在香港富人區――香港太平山(Victoria's Peak)新開發了一個樓盤Twelve Peaks，其中1號屋已經上市，售價爲8.191億港元（合1.057億美元）。如果全款購買，則相當於每平方英尺175,735港元，這有可能是全世界有史以來單價最貴的豪宅，同時也是整個香港有史以來最貴的豪宅。
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.
這幢近期竣工的豪宅面積爲4,661平方英尺（合433平方米），有四個臥室，一個私人泳池，一座花園，屋頂有露臺，同時還有一個可容納兩輛車的車庫。
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.
上述售價已經打破香港最貴豪宅紀錄。此前香港最貴的豪宅面積爲5,989平方英尺（合556平方米），位於香港太平山的普樂道(Pollock's Path)。該住宅於2011年以總價8億港元、單價每平方英尺133,578港元的價格售出。Luxury realtors in Hong Kong have long hoped that the luxury home market, which has stalled since the Hong Kong government implemented higher stamp duties to constrain a runaway housing prices, would breathe life again.
香港的豪華房地產經紀人一直在期待豪宅市場的復甦。爲了抑制漲勢失控的房價，香港之前提高了印花稅，這導致豪宅市場陷入停滯。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% rebate on the 15% buyer's stamp duty.
這個新樓盤的開發商將鼓勵感興趣的買家儘快出手：在樓盤推出五個月內簽約的買家將獲得3%的折扣。新鴻基地產還將向前期買家退還11.75%的物業買賣印花稅。在香港，購房人需繳納15%的物業買賣印花稅。Discounts have lately become common practice in Hong Kong as developers hope to stoke lagging demand of new homes.
爲刺激萎靡的新建住宅需求，開發商近來普遍打出折扣。
