No. 145-153 Third Street is an old building, constructed in 1949. It is 66 years old in 2015.
It should be two buildings combined together. Each building is symetrical, with the staircase in the middle. It is a building with five storeys. In 1949, it was definitely a tall building in Sai Wan.
For each unit, there is a small balcony. There was also no window sill. All designs are for the benefit of the dwellers, instead of benefiting the property developer only.
All units should have inhabitants. It is anyway a nice and calm street to live in. It is even more convenient after the opening of the MTR Island West Line.
After 66 years, the structure should still be very good. This should be a reflection of the developer's conscience. This means ... .
The area of each residential unit is about 676 - 746 square feet.
There are not many passers-by during daytime, it is anyway a pure residential area.
After the opening of MTR Island West Line, there may be abrupt change in Sai Wan, like the increase of rental and opening of new eateries. Let's see what will happen in the days to come. From a transaction record in March 2015, the price is ~HK$11,840 per square foot for a unit on fourth floor at No. 145 Third Street. After 66 years, it can still sell at such a high price and there is still real buyer. What we can say is nothing!
