A luxury flat in Hong Kong has sold for 225 million Hong Kong dollars (28.8 million US),the most expensive apartment per square foot ever sold in Asia,a report said on Wednesday.

The 80th floor penthouse with a private swimming pool and spectacular view of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour sold for 41,000 dollars per square foot, citing an unnamed real estate source.

The 5,497-square-foot (511-square-metre) flat,with its own roof-top terrace, is located in a new complex called The Arch,in Hong Kong's Kowloon area.

The Arch is close to a yet-to-be-completed office tower,the International Commerce Centre.

The new tower is attracting multinational firms away from the central business district, where rocketing property prices have scared away even the world's richest firms.

The flat's price beat the record of 39,800 dollars per square foot set last November for a larger apartment on Hong Kong island, according to the report.

Hong Kong's property market has boomed in recent years, following a major crash during the Asian financial crisis in the later 1990s.

Hi Mikeye, as there don't seem to be too many forum members around, receive my "Welcome" in the meantime. And I sure hope you don't live anywhere near that flat...

Translation: Hi Germex, how are you? How did the transaction work out regarding which you asked for suggestions a couple of months ago? What exactly is your job? Are you in Mexico? Cheers!

Let me answer in both languages - voy a contestar en ambas idiomas.

I'm working as a contract manufacturing agent. In my case, this means that I'm constantly on the lookout for suitable contracts to assemble, manufacture or fabricate something here in Mexico. It 's not a job where you can make the fast buck, but in the end it's very rewarding. Just imagine a sophisticated custom-made machine rolling out of the shop, and you were the one who got the contract and made all the arrangements...

No es un trabajo en el cual te puedes hacer rico pronto, pero a la larga es muy gratificante. Sólo imaginate que una maquina sofisticada y hecha sobre pedido sale del taller, y tu fuiste quien consiguio el contrato e hizo todos los arreglos...
