A local developer, Hip Shing Hong, recently sold a ground-floor retail space on Arbuthnot Road in Central, Hong Kong, after holding it for 55 years. The property was purchased by Triumph International, an heir of Swiss underwear maker Triumph, for HK$21.4 million (HK$14,518 per square foot). This transaction is described as highly unusual due to the rarity of international capital acquiring local retail assets in Hong Kong.
