SHKP ups prices for Sierra Sea
The third batch includes 118 units ranging from 301 to 700 sq ft, including 15 one-bedroom, 67 two-bedroom, and 36 three-bedroom flats.
Discounted prices range from HK$3.15 million to HK$8.38 million, or HK$10,237 to HK$12,702 per sq ft.
Andy Chan Hon-lun, general manager at SHKP's real estate agency, said the batch mainly comprises mid- to high-floor units, including some with sea views. Chan added that the pricing is in line with previous releases, and the developer may roll out more units depending on market response.
The developer is expected to close registrations on Thursday and launch the first round of sales on Saturday.
Meanwhile, more than 80 transactions were recorded in the primary market over the Easter holidays. Among them, Asia Standard International's (0129) High Park in Yuen Long saw 18 deals over the four-day period, bringing the total number of units sold at the project to 1,001, with only 24 flats remaining on the market.
In the secondary market, the 10 major housing estates tracked by Centaline Property recorded eight deals over the weekend, up from six a week earlier. Around 14 were logged over the holiday, slightly down from 15 in the same period last year.

HKEX posts best-ever half-yearly results
HKEX posts best-ever half-yearly results HKEX says its half-yearly revenue and profit in the first six months were its best ever. Photo: RTHK Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) on Wednesday posted its best-ever half-yearly revenue and profit for the first six months of the year, following a stock market boom as the local fundraising market ranked top in the world. In a statement, the city's bourse operator reported that its revenue and other income soared 33 percent year on year to nearly HK$14.1 billion, boosted by record high volumes in the money market, equity market, and higher investment income. Profit, meanwhile, jumped 39 percent to stand at about HK$8.52 billion between January and June, compared to the same period last year. The group's second-quarter revenue and profit also reached record quarterly highs. HKEX declared an interim dividend of HK$6 per share, up 38 percent from a year ago. Commenting on the performance, the group's chairman, Carlson Tong, said the figures demonstrated "a remarkable strategic advancement across all markets", boosted by positive market sentiment, growing investor appetite for non-USD assets and the increasing participation of global and mainland investors. "Despite the ongoing macroeconomic volatility and dynamic geopolitical landscape, our unwavering commitment to fostering innovation, dynamism, and resilience has significantly bolstered the competitiveness and allure of our markets," he said. Average daily turnover in securities trading stood at about HK$240 billion for the first half of the year, up 118 percent from the same period in 2024, while the city's Stock Connect programme also achieved record half-yearly turnover in both the northbound and southbound trade legs. The city's initial public offering (IPO) market, meanwhile, was ranked first globally during the period with 44 new listings, including one by CATL that marked the world's largest since 2023, sending total funds raised in the SAR to more than HK$109 billion, up 716 percent year on year. "As we celebrate HKEX's 25th anniversary, we look forward with confidence to seizing growth opportunities, deepening our role as the pivotal gateway between China and the world, and continuing to shape the future of finance in Hong Kong and across the region," Tong said. The group's chief executive, Bonnie Chan, said the rises came as the firm continued to diversify its product ecosystem to strengthen the city's listing frameworks, while the commodities business also marked new milestones. "Looking to the rest of the year and beyond, we at HKEX are committed to continuously enhancing our platforms, our infrastructure, and our products, to provide investors and issuers with the diversification, liquidity and connectivity they need to navigate the dynamic global macroeconomic environment," Chan said. New initiatives in the second half of the year, she added, include the shortening of the cash market settlement cycle, expansion of paperless listing regimes, and the enhancement of IPO price discovery requirements.

Hong Kong treasury chief admits ‘inadequacies' in HK$52.9m water contract blunder
The treasury chief has admitted to 'inadequacies' by the government after it awarded a HK$52.9 million contract for supplying bottled water to an allegedly fraudulent company. The contract, whereby bottled water from China would be delivered to civil service offices, has since been suspended. The government will study ways to improve its procurement regime after a dedicated taskforce completes a 'serious and comprehensive review' into the contract blunder, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui said on Tuesday. Hui's remarks came two days after police arrested a married couple on suspicion of winning the contract through fraudulent means. Authorities found that the company, Xin Ding Xin Trading Co, had no relationship with the Guangzhou supplier it claimed to be sourcing the water from, and had instead obtained the product from another supplier in Dongguan. 'The whole incident is problematic' Hui told the press on Tuesday that the government had terminated the contract on Monday. When asked if any payments had been made, the minister did not give a direct answer, but said the Government Logistics Department was following up with 'specific remedial measures.' The Government Logistics Department was 'tasked with taking up the main responsibility' of monitoring contract performance, the government said in a statement on Sunday. Asked on Tuesday if any officials would be held accountable or made to resign, Hui did not respond directly. 'We see that the whole incident is problematic; there are inadequacies,' Hui said. 'Our goal is to address both the symptoms and the root causes, ensuring consistency between form and substance, while identifying loopholes in the system and responding proactively,' he added. Bail denied On Tuesday, 61-year-old businessman Lui Tsz-chung of Xin Ding Xin Trading Co. was brought to the Eastern Magistrates' Courts. According to the charge sheet, Lui stands accused of falsely telling Government Logistics Department staff that the information and supporting documents he submitted in his bid to supply bottled drinking water to government offices were true. He also allegedly claimed his company would supply bottled drinking water produced by Robust (Guangdong) Drinking Water, with the intent of securing the tender. He thereby 'induced' the government to award the HK$52.9 million contract, securing profits for his company, the charge sheet read. Lui was denied bail pending his next court appearance in November. He has reserved the right to challenge his bail status within eight days. Police told HKFP on Tuesday at Lui's wife had not been formally charged following her arrest. Hong Kong authorities are also pursuing a mainland Chinese man for suspected involvement in the case.
