Kennedy Town - The Belcher's

With rising prices of apartments in the inner Central and surrounding districts of Hong Kong Island, there has been demand for neighborhoods that provide an easy commute, a peaceful environment, all the amenities of shopping, services and facilities, more space and are affordable for a wider range of residents.

The Belchers is a large luxury development of six distinctive high-rise towers that in total comprise 2,214 apartments for sale in Hong Kong. A major undertaking, the complex was completed between 2000 and 2001 and opened with much acclaim as a city within the city for a complete luxury lifestyle. The building was named after Sir Edward Belcher, a British naval officer and explorer, after whom a street and a bay in the area are also named. The site which the Belchers was built on has a great historical and cultural significance, it has served as a maritime defense gun emplacement and then the government's quarters for senior civil servants.

The development is home to the “Westwood Mall”, which contains a variety of shops, HSBC and banking facilities, and one of the Islands largest Wellcome Supermarkets. There is also a wet market for fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and fish on site. The complex has a number of restaurants and cafes offering international and local cuisine and a large public car park.

The six towers vary from 44 to 48 floors high and each floor has a layout of eight apartments per floor. These apartments range in sizes from 659 - 1448 sq ft saleable area, having 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms. There are also larger family apartments on site that have 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms each plus maid’s quarters. All of the luxury homes are bright and extremely well appointed. They are laid out internally in an open plan western style and finished with large windows and balconies to take advantage of the spectacular open views out over the harbor and China seas and the lush greenery from the hills behind.
