Hong Kong developer SHKP rushes out more Sierra Sea flats amid surge of mainland buyers

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) is launching another batch of flats in its
Sierra Sea project in the New Territories following two consecutive sold-out weekends in one of Hong Kong's largest residential projects in more than a quarter century.

On Wednesday, Hong Kong's largest developer will offer 150 flats in the 9,700-unit project in Shap Sze Heung, located between Sai Kung and Ma On Shan. The flats range in size from 301 sq ft to 702 sq ft.
The units are priced between HK$12,675 (US$1,635) and HK$15,486 per square foot. Of the 150 units, 128 will be sold via a regular sale with an average price after discounts of HK$11,897 per square foot – about 9.4 per cent higher than the first two batches of flats launched
on April 26 and
Saturday . The other 22 flats will be sold via tender.
The sale comes after Saturday's sale drew a surge in mainland Chinese buyers, whose numbers increased between 10 and 40 per cent compared with the previous weekend's sale as China's five-day Labour Day holiday got under way, according to Louis Chan Wing-kit, CEO of Centaline Property Agency.
The first two batches of units at the project hit the market at an average selling price last seen in the area in 2013. The average discounted price of HK$10,877 per square foot was also 20 per cent lower than prices for nearby second-hand flats.

US tariffs hit China's exports in May, but June seen as ‘a better month'

China's export growth slowed last month, weighed down by fewer US orders being made before the two countries came to a 90-day tariff truce. Advertisement And while June's prospects look poised to improve, China's manufacturing and trade sectors remain under strain, according to economists, who also point to lingering uncertainties over American tariffs. China's May exports were up by 4.8 per cent, year on year, to US$316.1 billion, customs data showed on Monday. The figure followed April's 8.1 per cent growth and fell short of the estimate of a 6.28 per cent increase in a market survey by Chinese financial data provider Wind. Exports to the United States plunged by 34.52 per cent, sharper than the 21 per cent drop seen in April, owing to the trade war between the two countries. Advertisement

China-US trade talks under way in London

China-US trade talks under way in London China and US trade officials meet in Lancaster House in London. Photo: Reuters The first meeting of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism opened in London on Monday Vice Premier He Lifeng attended the meeting with the US delegation including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer at Lancaster House. The meeting is aimed at shoring up a fragile truce in a trade dispute sparked by US tariffs that has roiled the global economy. The talks are expected to last at least a day and followed negotiations in Geneva last month that brought a temporary respite in the trade war. Lutnick did not attend the Geneva talks at which the countries struck a 90-day deal to roll back some of the triple-digit tariffs they had placed on each other. President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump spoke by phone last Thursday in an attempt to put relations back on track. The meeting in London was helped by news that Beijing on Saturday approved some applications for rare-earth exports, while US aviation giant Boeing is to start sending commercial jets to China for the first time since April.
