Sale documents indicate tycoon bought mansion
SCMP, Sep 19, 2007
Property sales contracts suggest strongly that the man who paid HK$430 million to buy King Yin Lei mansion in Mid-Levels is Cheung Chung-kiu, a developer of luxury properties and chairman of four Hong Kong-listed companies.
The managing director of one of these companies signed the sale and purchase agreement for the mansion - which is being considered for protected monument status after damage from building work. The same man signed a contract for the purchase of luxury properties on The Peak two years ago on behalf of another company Mr Cheung owns.
The documents also show the same law firm handled both purchases.
The four listed companies in which Mr Cheung, a native of Chongqing , owns majority interests are Yugang International, CC Land, Y.T. Realty Group and Cross-Harbour (Holdings).
The sale and purchase agreement for King Yin Lei was signed by Y.T. Realty managing director Wong Chi-keung on behalf of British Virgin Islands-registered company ICE Wisdom on July 7.
Mr Wong also signed a contract in January 2005 to buy four properties at No1 Gough Hill Road on The Peak on behalf of Mr Cheung's company Lucky Beat Investment.
Y.T. Realty appointed the same law firm to handle the purchases of King Yin Lei and No1 Gough Hill Road, the sales contracts show.
Mr Cheung, who came to Hong Kong when he was 16 and has property interests worth more than HK$3 billion, bought four houses at No1 Gough Hill Road from Bank of China (SEHK: 3988) for HK$430 million in 2005 and sold them this year for HK$550 million.
Mr Wong is also an executive director of Cross-Harbour (Holdings). That company would not say yesterday whether Mr Cheung had bought the 71-year-old Chinese-style mansion in Stubbs Road.
Sources close to the deal said it was highly likely that the buyer of the mansion had set construction crews to work on the mansion last week. Labourers stripped off roof tiles, smashed decorative tiling, removed windows and damaged the house's brick facades. Amid outrage from heritage activists, the government declared King Yin Lei - a draw for sightseers - a proposed monument, forcing a halt to work for a year.
The sources noted that, under the sales contract, the property was sold "as-is", meaning the vendor, businessman Stephen Yow Mok-shing, could be found in breach of contract if he caused the property to be damaged. 最後更新 : 19-09-2007 11:14
