Taking all aspects of information, The Central in Hong Kong was sold at the astronomical price of US$ 5.2 billion. The main shareholder of the buyer company is China Energy Reserve and Chemicals Group Co Ltd, holding 55% of the shares. While China's state reserve bank and other shareholders are currently raising as much as HK$ 36.18 billion loans, including the largest mezzanine loan in Asia to support the deal. The unusually high leverage of the financing reflects the rapid rise in interest from a new batch of mainland buyers in investing in the real estate in Hong Kong.
