MPO Launches "The Waterside"
Leasing campaign commences for premium residential asset
Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited, managed by Sniper Capital Limited, today announces the launch of the leasing campaign for its luxury residential tower located in Macau's premier mixed-use development, One Central*.
Marketed as The Waterside, the property's 59 apartments - all of which command unparalleled lake views - set a new standard in luxury accommodation in Macau. The Waterside will target the premium segment of the residential leasing market which is being driven by a renewed influx of expatriate executives seeking high quality, well-located accommodation in the city.
Based on the theme of "tailored luxury", all apartments have been enhanced and customised into three distinct styles created by award-winning Japanese designer, Yasumichi Morita. Residents will also benefit from fully flexible furnishing and service options.
CB Richard Ellis Group has been appointed to provide comprehensive principal leasing and bespoke concierge services to the project.
David Hinde, Chairman of MPO said:
"The launch of The Waterside sets a new benchmark for luxury accommodation in Macau and marks another significant milestone for MPO as we embark on the value creation phase of the Fund's investment cycle."
