District Information
About Sai Ying Pun
After British army arrival at Possession Point (now Hollywood Park next to Possession Street) in 1841, the 800 or so volunteer soldiers from India and Bangladesh stationed in West Point (hillside of Water Street). Thereafter, the area west of Hollywood Park was called Sai Ying Pun 西營盤, meaning 'Western Garrison'. Flourishing trades required construction of piers, docks, warehouses, and properties to accommodate merchants for rice, dry seafoods, and herbal medicines, and the workers who supported these activities. Even today, one can still find remnants of the early colonial past in the district. World War II brought mass destruction, giving rise to reconstruction of many buildings to four to six storey tenement buildings with shops on ground floor. Rapid population growth and technological advancement necessitate these post war buildings to be redeveloped into highrises.

Juhi Schmidl's client say:
Late September we had the pleasure to meet Juhi, who helped us locate a rental apartment in Hong Kong. Juhi already came highly recommended from several friends, who had used her services in the past. Our Experience was really exceptional. Juhi had prepared several places in the requested neighborhood and price range for us to visit. The visits were all very well prepared, as well as the material provided by Juhi during this visit. We were very fortunate, that already on the first visit we found the apartment we wanted to rent. Juhi was again on Top of her game to ensure we could make sure the apartment would not be rented to someone else before. Even during the inspection and the follow-up calls after our move, Juhi and her team were always professional and courteous. Again, the overall experiences of the Services are truly exemplar to any Realtor and we are very happy to recommend Juhi to any of our friends and Business acquaintances in the future.

Elle Tam's client say:
We recently moved apartments and worked with Elle Tam. She was incredibly proactive and efficient. We contacted her in regards to one property we liked the look of, and she got back to us promptly, gathering more information on our requirements so she could source other suitable options for us. Elle arranged multiple viewings so that we could use our time efficiently. When we decided on an apartment, we liked she helped us with everything from talking with the landlords to set up new utilities. Even now, a month after our move, we regularly hear from Elle following up on repairs or checking everything is going smoothly. Elle is friendly and personable, and we highly recommend working with her and Proway.
