tds Launches Exclusive Duplex Unit at 28 Aberdeen St.

Hong Kong, March 28, 2018 – The Development Studio (tds), the Hong Kong-based property developer founded by real estate veteran Keith Kerr, is delighted to announce today the launch of the exclusive duplex apartment (Flat South (Duplex) on 2/F & 3/F)– at its high-end residential project 28 Aberdeen St., with viewings available only by private appointment.

Exclusive Duplex Apartment in Prime Location – Rare Find in Market

Situated in the much sought after residential area of SoHo, Central, 28 Aberdeen St. encapsulates the essence of sleek, contemporary living and a design for understated luxury in Hong Kong's most urban-chic environment.

The fully-furnished duplex apartment overlooks PMQ and its greenery filled courtyard, a site of historical significance and the new stage for creative happenings. The calm, serene space is a retreat within a retreat, offers dual-level living with a lower floor leading onto a large private terrace, perfect for casual al fresco entertaining. It also boasts an internal cantilever staircase opening up to a comfortably appointed ensuite bedroom on the upper floor.

West facing natural light, the duplex features a spacious layout and quality specification that is evident across the 789 square feet of saleable floor area, and the additional flat roofs area of 653 square feet that it contains.

Alex Leung, Partner and Head of Projects at The Development Studio (tds), says:

"We are very excited to launch the 28 Aberdeen St. duplex: an elegant sanctuary in the heart of Central, with its generous open terraces and graceful private spaces. The living space has outstanding views over PMQ with floor to ceiling windows with custom window shades, and a design aesthetic which we have brought to curatorship of the entire development."

Such units rarely come on the market, and represent understated luxury in a discrete setting for discerning buyers wishing for something absolutely unique.

From Interiors to Exteriors, High Specifications Throughout

Spatial fluidity is central to the design. The interiors of the duplex apartment are designed with a neutral colour palette, shaped in a simple, modern language and combined with a restrained lighting ambience, underscoring materiality and craftsmanship in a discreet manner. The open plan living/dining area forms the heart of the home. Both the living and dining zones have full height windows and large flat roofs, bathed in great natural sunlight and creating a harmonious unobstructed living experience in the home. For the gourmet, the bespoke kitchen will inspire your inner chef with top-of-the-range appliances, from kitchen cabinets by Bulthaup, induction hobs, built-in microwave oven and fridge freezer by Miele, to dish washer by Siemens.

The vast bedroom also has a distinctive layout. The bedroom's exquisite bedside light decorations result in a beautifully warm and comfortable ambience. The ensuite to the bedroom is a three-piece bathroom with light-coloured marble finishes, encompassing dual wash-basins, custom glass shower enclosure and a toilet compartment.

To complement the stunning interiors, the exterior of the development, which is exquisitely framed with metallic materials in dark shades, gives an aura of profound steadiness and splendour while manifesting the sensual, curvilinear geometry in architecture by highlighting graceful curves and layering. The exterior walls of the residential entrance and lower-floor commercial space are made of Verde Marina, a natural granite from India, whose fine grain and delicate texture in shades of grey are a perfect juxtaposition to the metal of the building, heightening not only the visual sensation but also the elegance of the building.

28 Aberdeen St., nestled in the heart of SoHo, Central, is in a prime position to access the buzz and excitement of the Central CBD, which is within walking distance. It is also a location steeped in culture, with historic PMQ sitting directly across the street. Likewise, this vibrant neighbourhood is home to a treasure trove of boutique shops, cafés and restaurants giving a special flavour of the city that both locals and expatriates enjoy.

Winson Cheng, Senior Development Manager at The Development Studio, concludes:

"28 Aberdeen St. has proven a popular choice among investors and end-users since its official launch. As at the end of March 2018, over 70% of the typical units at the development were sold. Riding on the success, we are set to offer by way of tender the exclusive duplex apartment on the 2/F-3/F (Flat South) as well as for the two typical units on the 2/F and 3/F (Flat North) starting this Sunday (April 1). Interested parties are invited to submit tender for all three units or any one of the units."
