太古地产

去年项目开发商太古地产（SwireProperties）的行政总裁宣称公司完全相信它会打破纪录。分析师周一说，前述售价是香港有史有来卖出的最高价格。

Last year , project developer Swire Properties ' chief executive declared the company had ' every expectation it will break records . ' Analysts said Monday that the price paid is the highest ever fetched in Hong Kong .

在香港，太古地产（SwireProperties）是一个深受好评的品牌，拥有1040万平方英尺的写字楼空间，280万平方英尺的零售商场，此外还有一家酒店，以及一批住宅物业。

In Hong Kong , Swire Properties is the well-regarded brand behind 10.4m sq ft of office space and more than 2.8m sq ft of retail malls , with a hotel and residential portfolio tacked on for good measure .

太古地产选择上市的时机显示，该公司及其顾问相信，在香港IPO市场今年早期经历了一段惨淡的日子之后，投资者正在对新股发行重新产生兴趣。

The timing of the move suggests that Swire and its advisors believe that investors have regained their appetite for new share sales following a dismal period for Hong Kong IPOs earlier this year .

太古地产的销售代表否认Opus公寓样板间的设计是为了迎合中国内地新贵喜欢浮华的品位。样板间装了许多枝形吊灯，厨房则处处银光闪闪。

Sales representatives of Swire Properties deny that the design of the Opus show flat - plenty of chandeliers and a kitchen featuring lots of silver - is meant to appeal to the flamboyant tastes of nouveau riche mainland Chinese buyers .

Opus的12套公寓都出自弗兰克•盖里（FrankGehry）的设计。开发商太古地产（SwireProperties）对每套公寓的定价预计将超过4.5亿港元（合5800万美元），即便在去年平均房价位居全球之首的香港，这个价位仍然创下纪录。

Each of the 12 Frank Gehry-designed apartments in the Opus development is expected to be priced by developer Swire Properties at more than HK $ 450m ( $ 58m ) , a record even in a city where the average home price was the highest in the world last year .

如果出价非常高的话，我们是会考虑的。太古地产拒绝证实前述6100万美元的买卖，也不愿透露有关“Opus”出租进度的任何细节。不过发言人提到，最近有一套公寓租出了每月85万港元（11万美元）的价格。

If it 's an exceptional offer , we 'll consider it . ' The company declined to confirm the Opus purchase or reveal any details about the property 's leasing progress to date , though the spokeswoman noted that one unit was recently leased for HK $ 850000 ( US $ 110000 ) per month .

太古地产并非唯一一家认为现在是在香港融资好时机的公司。

Swire is not the only company to have decided that now is the right time to raise funds in Hong Kong .

太古地产是在香港岛东区拥有最多地产的房地产企业，开发及管理着众多商业、零售、酒店及住宅地产。

Swire Properties is the largest commercial landlord in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island . The company develops and manages commercial , retail , hotel and residential properties .

到过香港的人，几乎都逛过太古地产开发经营的购物中心，要么是太古城中心，要么是太古广场，要么是又一城。

Visited Hong Kong people , almost all of the shopping center development and operation of television Swire Properties , either City Plaza , either Pacific Place , Festival Walk either .

太古地产早些时候曾宣布说，它打算出租大楼里的12套公寓。一位发言人周一称这仍是公司的总体打算。

Swire had earlier announced that it intended to lease the dozen apartments that make up the site , which a spokeswoman on Monday declared was still the company 's overall plan . ' We do get inquiries from time to time , ' she said .
