Sometime later this year, Hong Kongers may be able to pay for the privilege of living in apartments so small they’re comparable to prison cells.
Then, a local developer is due to start signing tenants for a project in the Happy Valley district where most flats could have a “usable floor area" of about 61 square feet, or 5.7 square meters, according to a pre-construction filing with the Buildings Department.
That’s slightly less space than Stanley Prison, a 30-minute drive across the Hong Kong island, affords its inmates.
