(25 August 2011, Hong Kong) Swire Properties' new residential development has been officially named 'ARGENTA'. Located in the prime Mid-Levels residential district, ARGENTA is poised to be an outstanding landmark in architectural design and a rare jewel in one of Hong Kong Island's most sought-after addresses.
"ARGENTA is derived from the Latin word for 'Silver'," explains Adrian To, General Manager, Residential at Swire Properties. "ARGENTA reflects the same exceptional qualities and timeless elegance as precious silver."
"Mid-Levels has always been a highly coveted residential area," adds To. "There is a high demand for premium properties which offer the luxury of space, superior amenities and exceptional design. This exclusive project continues Swire Properties' long-standing tradition of creating prestigious residences in prime locations. ARGENTA is destined to set new standards in luxury living."
Located on 63 Seymour Road, ARGENTA features an ultra-modern, all-glass exterior, offering stunning panoramic views over Victoria Harbour. The 31 residential storeys development comprises 30 luxurious apartments, each occupying an entire floor, providing residents with maximum privacy. The development includes 28 three-bedroom apartments of approximately 2,800 sq ft each, and two exclusive units consisting of a penthouse duplex of approximately 4,700 sq ft and a deluxe apartment of approximately 2,800 sq ft, both with their own spacious flat roofs. Residents also have access to a state-of-the-art clubhouse in the development.
ARGENTA enjoys easy access to the city's transport network and close proximity to the Central business district and the cultural and entertainment hub of Soho.
