Some of Hong Kong’s wealthy families have been caught up in the city’s real estate slump after selling luxury homes and other properties at a loss to pay back loans.
Just in the past month, one debt-laden family disposed of seven properties for $250 million in the prestigious Peak district, with some going for hefty discounts. In April, a family-run company sold its stake in the AIA Central building at a $20 million loss. Another clan that built its fortune in retail sold a shopfront at a 60% loss and had other properties seized by receivers.
