Retailers in tight spot
Despite reduced spending by mainland visitors, exorbitant retail store rents in popular shopping districts are holding firm because of big brand-name penetration and limited space supply, analysts say.

Living at the top end
Whether you're looking for an ideal spot to live or an investment opportunity, take a look at this beauty in the Olympic city of London. Altitude is a stunning development with one-, two- and three- bedroom apartments and lavish penthouses.

Stylish in Stanley
Yours for the taking is a sea-view apartment at the luxury residential development of Regalia Bay in Stanley. Floor- to-ceiling windows at the A-style home offer a magnificent view of Repulse Bay, while the grand chandelier in the living room imparts a distinct sense of elegance.

London lifestyle choice
A shortfall of supply against demand across London needs little explanation for savvy investors. Here's your chance to make a smart move in the area considered to be London's newest, accessible and most desirable place to buy.

Retreat in the city
Urbanites seeking to wriggle free from the stresses and strife of metropolitan living will love the gated Mulberry Mews in Islington, a relaxed retreat in one of Central London's most desirable and popular locations.

Ship-shape in the city
Here's a chance for savvy investors to savor London life in comfort and be within easy reach of top attractions. Built by Union Developments, one of London's most highly regarded and creative luxury house builders, Prince's Park is a desirable residential scheme for discerning buyers.

Still the place to be
The serviced apartment market in Hong Kong has remained stable despite the global economic downturn, thanks to the continuous stream of foreigners who later decide to stay.

Fire-sale strategy
As government measures such as the decision to build subsidized flats, special stamp duty and tighter mortgage conditions weigh on home sales, property prices are likely to go down in the second half of the year. Additional supply coming onstream in the next six months may also play a role in prices heading south.

Spaces tight for students
With summer upon us, the rental market is nearing its traditional peak season, when an increase in leasing demand is underpinned by university students seeking accommodation, especially those who have not been able to secure a dormitory space on campus premises.

Live the high life
High Point lives up to its name with a village feel but underlays it with a new level of sophistication to offer a refined lifestyle that fuses urban chic with rural values.

Luxury digs
A top-floor apartment at Island Crest, which includes a 1,925-square-foot rooftop with private swimming pool, is on offer.
