Can Hong Kong’s Central harbourfront be more than prime real estate? | South China Morning Post

Can Hong Kong’s Central harbourfront be more than prime real estate? | South China Morning Post: “It’s a real sculpture park – large objects on grass with blue skies,” he said. “That’s rare in Hong Kong.”�

The Harbour Arts Sculpture Park lasted for seven weeks this year (February 22 to April 11) as an Arts Centre initiative to bring top-notch public art to the shores of Victoria Harbour – an unprecedented exhibition in a city where quality public art is still rare. The space itself is rare, too. Less than 40 per cent of the harbourfront is even accessible to the public, and this particular spot – reclaimed from the sea just over a decade ago – retains the feeling of an interstice: a leftover patch of earth caught between the towers of Central and the busy waters of the harbour.�

Real Estate Column: Decoding Agent Speak

Real Estate Column: Decoding Agent Speak: Every profession has its own terminology. Some of this terminology is to describe situation that most lay people never think about. One of my favorites along this line is “winter water views”. This is an actual option when an agent lists a property. What it means is that when the leaves are off the trees you can see the water. Now in most cases the water that you can see is Long Island Sound, though I did once see a listing where you had water views of a small pond in mid-country, when the trees lost their leaves.

Universities like Harvard and Yale are real estate titans, too.: You don’t need to drop out of Harvard and move to the West Coast to start a company anymore. You can cross the Charles River to the i-Lab, a 30,000-square-foot incubator for undergraduates that the university founded in 2011. Tech office style prevails in this building behind the vaunted Harvard Business School: open floor, whiteboards, a ping-pong table. In the da Vinci room, students can use machine tools.

Across the street is another innovation lab, with a focus on life sciences, open to graduate students and alumni.
