The Oakhill, Residential building in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, China
The Oakhill is a single-tower residential building at 28 Wood Road in Wan Chai, completed in 2011. It has 58 storeys but only 42 actual floors, since levels 13, 14, 24, 34, 40, 42, 44 and 54 are omitted. The ground floor is commercial, floors 1 to 5 are a car park, floors 6 and 7 hold a clubhouse, and flats start on floor 8.
The Oakhill stands on the site of a row of 1950s tong lau at 20–34 Wood Road, Wan Chai. In late 2006 Lai Sun Group and American International Group bought the block for HK$595 million, and in 2009 acquired it through Hong Kong's first compulsory sale, at a reserve of HK$100 million, combining the lots into one tower that opened in October 2011.
The name Oakhill is an English invention with no Chinese equivalent in the source; the Chinese name 萃峯 refers to the gathering of peaks. The two-storey clubhouse on floors 6 and 7 was designed by George Dasic and holds an indoor pool with a water-curtain infinity edge, a sauna, a Japanese garden, a barbecue area, a banquet hall, a children's playground and a gym. The 67 parking spaces give a ratio of one space per two flats.
The Oakhill stands at 28 Wood Road in Wan Chai, not on the Mid-Levels hillside. Its 1st to 5th floors hold a 67-space car park, roughly two spaces per flat, and the ground floor is commercial. Nearby are Wan Chai Park, Morrison Hill Swimming Pool and the former Kyoto Cinema site.
The Oakhill's top floors hold two duplex penthouses of about 3,000 sq ft each, with a huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall in the living and dining room and a private sky garden of roughly 800 sq ft. In 2011 they were offered at HK$85 million. The club on floors 6 and 7 was designed by George Dasic.
