The scaffolding and nets were taken down last week because of the typhoon. Costa del Concrete would be better name and yes, it's really ugly in the Neo-brutalism school of architecture. The entire site has been concreted and I can't see any sane person buying into this development, but then this is Hong Kong.

There goes the neighborhood...

Is that why your dog is so brown, Marc?

Lamma-Gung wrote: "The almost completed Tannery Beach development...". Is it almost completed? I'm not sure about that. The plan mentioned 11 houses - at the mo there are 6 or 7, and still some bits for extra concrete indulgence.......My guess is a 2007 completion. Maybe.

I was astonished myself, assuming end of 2006, as announced before.

Well, the official opening will be in a number of weeks and the sales start officially at Mid-Autumn Festival. You can already sign up for future viewings now.
They might be overly optimistic...

Most likely an official opening with a show flat, with prospective tenants putting down deposits with sale on completion.

Sorry, mui mui, too late for not selling to the developer. The locals have sold out years ago...

The developer claims that "We own over 1 million square feet of Lamma Island", making him by far the biggest landlord here with big plans for multiple developments all over Lamma, Lamma-1. 2, 3, 4,....

According to news a few weeks ago, the first two houses in Lamma-1 have been sold already at these absolutely amazing prices...

They're also planning a Discovery Bay-size and -style development in South Lamma, called "Lamma Marina", and have most of the land secured already, it seems.
