Hong Kong is a global financial capital, a haven for foodies, and also a place where it can be more expensive to keep a car than to own a home.
On October 24, businessman Johnny Cheung reportedly sold a 135-square-foot parking space for a whopping $969,000 to an as-yet-undentified buyer, according to the South China Morning Post.
The space is in front of The Center, a 79-floor steel office tower in Hong Kong’s busy Central neighborhood. Companies such as DBS Bank and the Robertsons Solicitors law firm have office space there.
Cheung had owned four of the 400 available spaces at The Center, and had previously sold the other three for six-figure sums.
As one of the world’s most densely populated islands, Hong Kong has long held space at a premium. The previous record-holder for most expensive parking space in the city was $760,000 spot in front of a Kowloon luxury apartment building in 2018 And it’s not only parking that comes at a high price in the city.
The annual Mercer Cost of Living Index named Hong Kong the most expensive city in the world for residents in 2018 and 2019.
