Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Chinese
Island Resort (Шаблон:Zh) is a high-rise complex located in the Siu Sai Wan area of Hong Kong (address: 28 Siu Sai Wan Road, Siu Sai Wan, Chai Wan, Hong Kong). Construction of the complex began in 1999, and was completed in 2001.[1] It is also the 71st tallest building in Hong Kong, tied with The Dynasty Tower.[1][2]
The land on which the Island Resort complex is situated is the most expensive in the city; in 1997, prior to the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong, Sino Land purchased the Шаблон:Convert piece of land for US$1,515,384,620 in order to develop the Island Resort complex.[3] The purchase was the last major land sale in Hong Kong that took place while the United Kingdom was still in control, and was also the most expensive land transaction in the city's history.[3][4]
Features
The complex contains four towers, each of which rises 60 floors and Шаблон:Convert in height;[1] although the property is classified as containing nine towers, real estate data company Emporis lists the complex as only four skyscrapers, as several are interconnected.[3] The buildings are composed almost entirely of residential units, with a total of 3,098 apartments; the lowermost floors are used as retail and restaurant space.[1] There is a swimming pool complex, with outdoor and indoor pools. The outdoor pools are in the middle of the tower area and the indoor one is within the main complex.
The complex also includes a three-floor shopping mall, a six-floor car park and a three-floor club house.[5] Facilities provided by the clubhouse include a library, gym room, BBQ area, band room, tennis courts, basketball court, 4 bowling ball lanes, badminton courts, music rooms, play room, snooker room, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a bar, a lounge, meeting rooms, study room, and a squash court.[5]
The residential buildings do not include floor 13, 14, 24, 34, 44 and 54[5] because it is believed that 4 is an unlucky number to Chinese people and also a representative of death.
Transportation
Though there is no MTR station in the Siu Sai Wan area, there is a minibus connecting Island Resort and Heng Fa Chuen MTR station. Moreover, there is a bus terminus located on the ground floor of Island Resort. There are various bus routes going to and from Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories.[6]

According to the 2016 by-census, Island Resort had a population of 9,319. The median age was 41 and the majority of residents (86 per cent) were of Chinese ethnicity. The average household size was 3.2 people. The median monthly household income of all households (i.e. including both economically active and inactive households) was HK$69,250.[7]
