Developer Says $75 Million Spec Home Will Break Las Vegas Price Record
An unbuilt Las Vegas spec home is set to shatter the city’s sale record when it closes later this month for $75 million, according to its developer, Terra Firma. The forthcoming mansion in McDonald Highlands will also be one of the largest properties in the region at 55,000 square feet—roughly the size of the White House—with 13 bedrooms and multiple stories once it’s built. Construction isn’t expected to break ground until early next year. The current benchmark was set in 2021, when a contemporary, smart-home filled new build sold for $25 million.

Chinese Real Estate Mogul Could Lose HK$10 Billion in Hong Kong Property
Chinese real estate mogul Chen Hongtian is fighting to regain control of three major properties in Hong Kong that have been seized by creditors. They include a more than 9,000-square-foot mansion in the city’s affluent Peak, a luxury apartment and, most recently, an office building known as One HarbourGate East Tower in the neighborhood Hung Hom. Savills announced creditors had put the office building up for tender sale on Sunday. Collectively, the residential and commercial assets total an estimated HK$10 billion (US$1.27 billion).

Chinese investment in overseas havens, including in residences and alternative citizenship, has boomed as they deal with economic woes at home and the fear of a future disease outbreak. Travel data shows Thailand, as well as Japan and South Korea, was a top choice among Chinese travelers during a recent Labor Day holiday. But the Southeast Asian country’s quality medical infrastructure and schools are luring many Chinese looking for a more long-term outpost. Reuters
