The 7 most expensive apartments in Hong Kong
1. The Legacy duplex, Mid-Levels West: about HK$880 million
A four-bedroom duplex of 8,310 square feet in a Henderson Land and New World Development project. The deal was reported in December 2025 through a company transfer, and the buyer was not named. A neighbouring 2,773-square-foot flat on the same floor reportedly sold for about HK$210 million. Our own arithmetic puts the duplex at roughly HK$105,900 per square foot, well below Mount Nicholson, so the record comes from size.
How we valued it: the reported transaction price of HK$880 million, converted at about 7.8 Hong Kong dollars to the US dollar.
2. Mount Nicholson apartment, the Peak: HK$640 million
Wharf Holdings and Nan Fung Development sold a 4,544-square-foot apartment with three parking spaces in November 2021 for HK$640 million, about US$82 million, or HK$140,800 per square foot, a per-foot record in Asia at the time. It beat CK Asset’s 21 Borrett Road sale of nine months earlier.
How we valued it: the reported developer sale price from 2021.
3. Mount Nicholson Phase II duplex: HK$609 million
A 4,217-square-foot duplex in the second phase of the same Peak project, sold for HK$609 million in 2025, or about HK$144,400 per square foot by our calculation. One local report calls it the previous record before The Legacy, while an earlier report gives HK$640 million for the 2021 Mount Nicholson sale; press accounts differ on which came first, so we rank by price.
How we valued it: the reported price from two outlets; the exact month is unconfirmed.
4. Opus duplex, Stubbs Road: HK$497.9 million
The Frank Gehry building on Stubbs Road, with 12 residences, set an Asian record in June 2015 when a duplex reportedly sold for HK$497.9 million, about US$64 million. This is the building from our original article, which quoted about $60 million.
How we valued it: the reported 2015 sale price; the sale was widely reported, but we did not see a registry record.
5. Opus eighth-floor unit: HK$470 million
In August 2012 a buyer reportedly paid HK$470 million for the whole eighth floor of about 6,200 square feet, then the most expensive apartment in Hong Kong. The developer, Swire Properties, did not confirm the deal.
How we valued it: the reported 2012 price; unconfirmed by the developer.
6. High Peak top floor, Mid-Levels West: HK$420 million
An April 2026 report says a top-floor residence at High Peak sold to a mainland Chinese buyer for HK$420 million, about US$54 million. We found one detailed account, so treat this as reported.
How we valued it: a single reported price, hedged.
7. 21 Borrett Road Phase 2 penthouse: HK$362 million
CK Asset sold a 2,911-square-foot penthouse on the 20th floor by public tender for HK$362 million (US$46.2 million) in June 2026, or HK$124,356 per square foot, the highest first-hand per-foot price in Hong Kong so far in 2026.
How we valued it: the reported tender price from the developer.
Records set in 2025 and 2026
The Legacy duplex in December 2025 is the new price record. In 2026 the High Peak and Borrett Road sales show demand at the top end is strong: Centaline data cited in one report counts 93 sales above HK$100 million in the first four months of 2026, against 37 a year earlier.
Houses on the Peak sell for more than any apartment. 1 Gough Hill Road reportedly sold for about HK$1.09 billion (US$140 million) in August 2025, and 15 Gough Hill Road for HK$790 million. We keep houses out of the ranking because they are not apartments.
What drives these prices
- Size. The record unit is the largest, not the priciest per foot.
- Peak address. Mount Nicholson reached about HK$140,000 per square foot.
- Scarcity. The Opus has only 12 homes, so each sale stands out.
- Buyer privacy. Many deals go through company transfers, which hides identity and details.
