Located in the heart of elite school net 41 in Kowloon, Patina is
the first residential building designed in Hong Kong by Tsao &
McKown, one of Architectural Digest’s Top 100 architects. The
development contains a clubhouse and overlooks the open view of
low-density residences of Kowloon Tong. Phoenix exited this
property en-bloc. This transaction reflects the market’s
appreciation of its prime location and unique design even before
it was marketed.
The new 29-storey residence, Patina, looks out over the low-rise,
low-density residences of Kowloon Tong. This historic district has
long been home to many of Hong Kong’s most privileged families,
attracted by its numerous parks, peaceful atmosphere and network
of renowned schools. The substantial enhancements promised by the
visionary developments of adjacent Kai Tak and CBD2 will ensure
its long-term investment value.
Admired contemporary New York architects Calvin Tsao and Zack
McKown have created a landmark residence, with a signature
Manhattan-styled façade featuring curtain wall and vertical green.
The clean and simple lines of the building afford large windows
that bring natural light into the elegant apartments – each
designed to maximise space and deliberately configured to best
frame the stunning views.
Residents of Patina will enjoy the perfect environment to relax
and socialise. The residents’ club, Club Kinship, accommodates a
comprehensive range of amenities – including a 20-metre outdoor
swimming pool, a banquet room with kitchen, a karaoke room, a
music room with recording facilities and a gym. The club also
incorporates immaculately designed education and creative play
areas for teenagers and toddlers alike; an area uniquely suited
for the cultivation and exploration of talents and potential in
children.
Phoenix successfully sold the project to a local buyer in 2018 on
an en-bloc basis for a long-term rental purpose to capture
potential residential demand in CBD2.
