Seymour, Residential building in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong, China
Seymour is a residential building in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong's established hillside neighborhood where modern structures are interspersed among older buildings. The building houses residential units positioned near Caine Road and offers proximity to the central business districts of the city.
Seymour stands on the former site of Yu Yuen, a residential property owned by Emperor International. In November 2007, Fullsun International Holdings Group, parent of Wing Tai Asia, and Bank of America acquired the site for HK$1.468 billion to develop housing. The tower was completed and occupied in the fourth quarter of 2011, and all units sold by mid-2011.
The name Seymour comes from Seymour Road, the street the tower stands on, while the Chinese name 懿峯 pairs 懿 (virtue) with 峯 (peak). The developer, Wing Tai Asia, reused the design concept of its earlier project 懿薈 for this tower, continuing a naming pattern across its Hong Kong residential projects.
The location provides easy access to public transportation options nearby and walkable distances to restaurants, shops, and office areas throughout Mid-Levels. The hilly terrain means visitors should expect steep walkways and stairs when moving around the neighborhood, so comfortable footwear is advisable.
Seymour's floor numbering skips 4–6, 14, 24, 34, 40–49 and 54, so the 41 residential levels reach a nominal 63rd floor. The building has 82 units, two per floor, sized about 1,900 to 2,300 square feet. In January 2013, 40 clubhouse renovation workers staged a sit-in at the Seymour Road vehicle entrance over unpaid wages, briefly blocking residents' car access.
