Over 1,000 sq ft property for sale at Hong Kong's Dragon Hill: Commanding views of the racecourse and river!

Yu Long Shan, as one of Fo Tan's premier high-rise developments, features distinctive floor arrangements. Beyond the customary avoidance of floors ending in “4” and those between 40th and 49th, the 10-block complex includes refuge floors, with total storeys reaching approximately 40 to 42. Mr Cheung Yiu-chow, Managing Director of Hong Leung Consultancy and Valuation, explains that according to the Building Fire Safety Code and the Practice Notes for Authorised Persons, Registered Structural Engineers and Registered Geotechnical Engineers, buildings exceeding 25 storeys from the lowest ground level theoretically require a refuge floor. However, if the building does not exceed 40 storeys, the rooftop may serve as the refuge floor. As Dragon Court reaches 40 storeys or above, it must incorporate a dedicated refuge floor. Detailed specifications can be found in the cross-section diagrams within the property brochure.

The property featured here is located on a mid-floor level of Tower 7 at Dragon Hill, positioned two storeys above the sky garden. With a usable area of 1,006 square feet, the layout comprises three bedrooms with one en-suite bathroom, plus a storage room and a storage room with an attached toilet. The spatial configuration offers both practicality and flexibility. The owner has set an asking price of HK$16.8 million, translating to approximately HK$16,700 per square foot, presenting competitive value for money among luxury residences in the same area.

The unit's spatial sense and scenic advantages are particularly noteworthy. Excluding the entrance hall, the living room alone spans approximately 300 square feet – comparable to the size of open-plan units in contemporary new developments. Combined with a ceiling height of 3.15 metres, this further amplifies the sense of spaciousness and airiness, providing ample scope for owners to realise bespoke interior designs. Regarding views, the east-facing unit offers close-up vistas of Sha Tin Racecourse and Pong Fu Park, while distant vistas reveal the winding emerald waters of Shing Mun River and layered green mountains. This blend of natural and cultural scenery delivers an exceptional living experience.

Notably, units situated near fireproof floors have long been sought-after in the property market. On one hand, the fireproof floor design inherently enhances residential safety; on the other, such levels typically avoid the noise concerns of lower floors and the strong winds of higher floors, while often being proximate to amenities like sky gardens, thereby offering superior living comfort. For buyers prioritising spatial openness, panoramic views, and residential security, this listing at Dragon's Ridge undoubtedly presents an exceptional opportunity.
