    That’s the entire floor, in a deluxe building.

      no it is not the entire floor. it is one of the TWO penthouse units.

      Personally I don’t buy this story. The most $$/ft in HK I have heard was not even half of this figure. This building is butt ugly, and the land it sits on is smaller than the footprint of a parking structure in Fashion Island.

    I bet the buyer paid $57 million cash. Probably owns the Vizio TV factory. Communism 21st century style sounds alot better than capitalism Obama style.

    I’m calling BS on the hong kong story-

    but not this– foreclosures just keep on rising confirming
    the recessions over– you know the recession that the
    economists didnt forecast but now say is over– morons
