St. George’s Mansions, a luxury property development by CLP Group and Sino Land, brings contemporary, elegant living to the historical neighbourhood of Kadoorie Hill
The list of sought-after neighbourhoods in Hong Kong include areas with sweeping views of the ocean and quiet havens nestled within the city’s rolling hills, but none of them can match heritage and exclusivity of Kadoorie Hill.
At Kadoorie Hill, tall buildings are replaced by wide boulevards and walls lined with trailing bougainvillaea plants, and the neighbourhood also comes with a history that stretches back to 1930s, when the Kadoorie family bought up the land and started developing it.
The Kadoorie family was a major investor in Hong Kong Engineering & Construction Co., Limited at the time and started to build low-level residences in the area—choosing quality over quantity by building stand-alone and semi-detached homes, bungalows and low-level apartment buildings. As a result, Kadoorie Hill stands out in Hong Kong for its low-density and exclusivity, while Kadoorie family’s stewardship of the area gave it an enviable legacy.
In addition, Kadoorie Hill is close to some of the city’s top schools, such as Diocesan Boy’s School and Mary Knoll Convent School.
And now, Sino and the Kadoorie-owned CLP Group is offering an opportunity for investors to call Kadoorie Hill home with St. George’s Mansions, a three-tower luxury residential development that sits on the same site as the original apartment building in the same name.

Designed by the New York-based Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), St. George’s Mansions encompasses 175 apartments across the three towers. There will be five simplex apartments, ranging from approximately 3,300 to 3,600 sq ft, and each simplex will feature a flat roof or roof. Other units will come with two, three or four bedrooms, ranging from approximately 760 to 2,100 sqft in total. Most of the apartments will have sweeping views of Kadoorie Hill’s lush surroundings, while the kitchens will feature cabinets by renowned German brand Poggenpohl and appliances from Miele, Gaggenau and Sub-Zero.
There will also be a Clubhouse with function rooms, gym, yoga studio, children’s playroom and garden area. One of the function rooms is designed by Philip Liao and features both indoor and outdoor space.
Liao himself have lived in Kadoorie Hill for many years and wanted to create a function room that will replicate the experience of living and hosting an event at one of the heritage homes along Kadoorie Avenue.
