Belcher's Hill, Residential building in Kennedy Town, Hong Kong
Belcher's Hill (寶雅山) is a single 42-storey residential tower at Kennedy Town, Western District, Hong Kong, completed by New World Development with residents moving in on 17 May 2011. It holds 152 flats of 732 to 2,198 sq ft, four per floor from the 7th level up, above a podium with 41 parking spaces on floors 1 and 2, a clubhouse on 3 and a sky garden on 5.
Belcher's Hill occupies the site of the former Kam Maug Industrial Building and Tin Lung Industrial Building. New World Development began acquiring the two properties in 1996 and completed the purchase for over HK$200 million after about ten years, merging them into one residential project. The building was sold as an off-plan development from 31 January 2010; by 1 March 2010 only four standard units remained and the show flat closed permanently. Residents moved in on 17 May 2011.
Belcher's Hill is a single-block residential tower, not a hill; its Chinese name, 寶雅山, pairs 寶雅 with 山 (mountain), a naming convention common in Hong Kong property marketing. The 42-storey building rises above Kennedy Town's older blocks, and its name recalls Belcher's Bay, the former name of the nearby waterfront.
Belcher's Hill is a single 42-storey residential tower at Kennedy Town, entered from the street through its podium; the clubhouse with reading room, gym and pool is on the 3rd floor and the sky garden on the 5th. Parking occupies floors 1 and 2 with 41 spaces. There is no 14th, 24th, 34th or 44th floor in the lift numbering, and the 27th floor is a refuge floor.
The site was previously occupied by two industrial buildings, Kam Maug Industrial Building and Tin Lung Industrial Building. New World Development began acquiring them in 1996 and spent over a decade and more than HK$200 million assembling the plot before combining it into this single residential tower.
