Verano at Repulse Bay: A serene statement on coastal luxury
HONG KONG, 23 October 2025 – Verano, an exclusive new residential landmark developed by The Development Studio (TDS), launches today with the debut of a fully furnished penthouse, exquisitely curated by internationally acclaimed designer André Fu. Situated in the prestigious Repulse Bay enclave in Hong Kong Island’s Southern District, Verano offers sweeping views across the bay and presents a rare opportunity for discerning buyers to acquire a truly exceptional home in one of the city's most sought-after locales. The site, which has been passed down through three generations, was formerly home to Roseville, a distinguished 1920s mansion, and has been reimagined as a low‑density development comprising just six duplex residences, marking a new chapter in the architectural heritage of the Southern District.
Rising 13 storeys at 125 Repulse Bay Road, Verano comprises just six meticulously crafted duplex residences. The five lower duplexes, spanning the 1st to 11th floors, each offer 3,957 sq ft of saleable area1, while the crowning penthouse duplex, occupying the 12th and 13th floors, features 4,022 sq ft1 of saleable area1, complemented by a private rooftop terrace of 1,199 sq ft1of saleable area. Each duplex is served by an individual lift lobby that provides a high degree of privacy and security. The main entrance lobby and penthouse interiors have been curated by André Fu, evoking an ambiance of quiet sophistication and understated luxury. Private viewings of the penthouse duplex are now available by appointment.
An oasis of serene elegance and a new legacy built upon a century of heritage
Keith Kerr, Chairman of TDS, said: "True luxury is not defined by excess, but by depth and enduring meaning. As our fourth residential project in Hong Kong, Verano pays homage to a century of architectural heritage in Repulse Bay, while embracing a forward-looking vision shaped by global design sensibilities. Its flowing architectural lines, echoing the movement of waves and the curves of the coastline, create a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces, blending understated modern living with the natural beauty of the bay and allowing light and warmth to gently permeate everyday moments. Remaining true to our commitment to craftsmanship, we have drawn on a contemporary design language and refined architectural sensibility to elevate the site's historical legacy within a modern context. The result is a distinctive creation that offers both artistic value and lasting significance — a true collector's piece for those with a finely tuned appreciation for design."
Penthouse Duplex: Quiet Luxury Framed by Light and Shadow
Occupying the top two levels, the penthouse duplex offers a thoughtfully composed sequence of living spaces, including a formal living room, dining room, family room, study, and a generously proportioned kitchen. The master bedroom is enhanced by a private walk-in wardrobe, adding to the sense of refined comfort. Inspired by the gentle curves of Repulse Bay's coastline, the interior design flows seamlessly from the entrance through to the living and dining spaces, establishing a fluid and cohesive rhythm throughout. A palette of mineral blue and sage green reflects the surrounding sea and sky, while timber flooring introduces warmth and grounded elegance. A striking glass corner detail frames uninterrupted views across the bay, allowing natural light to cascade through the interiors in a soft interplay of light and shadow.
Serene shades of soft white and ocean blue define the living and dining areas, naturally emphasising the expansive views beyond. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw in daylight, complemented by natural stone feature walls and dark timber columns that add depth and quiet sophistication. A sculptured curved staircase connects the two levels, echoing the natural contours of the coastline and serving as a visual centrepiece. In the master suite, champagne hues and warm timber create a sense of calm, where every detail is carefully considered to evoke subtle luxury.
Furniture and lighting are thoughtfully curated from the André Fu Living collection, known for its subtle richness and artisanal craftsmanship. Textiles in linen, wool blends, and bouclé are paired with antique brass accents, while the fine grain of walnut reflects the organic textures and serene contours of the bay. Throughout, the interior exudes a quiet sense of luxury, with every detail reflecting the designer's nuanced interpretation of everyday aesthetics, not through excess but the interplay of light, materials, and texture — allowing elegance and serenity to unfold naturally to the rhythm of shifting light.
A life of leisure and tranquillity, effortless elegance in nature's embrace
Verano offers more than architectural beauty: it is a sanctuary of serenity. Situated in the prestigious enclave of Repulse Bay, it is surrounded by lush hills and sweeping ocean views, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city2. Each home enjoys sweeping views of the golden sands of Repulse Bay beach and the azure coastline nearby, savouring a quiet sense of calm where sea and sky meet as one.
Residents can enjoy leisurely jogs or strolls along the scenic promenade, sip a coffee on tree-lined streets, or unwind in the neighbourhood's perpetual summer calm. The area is dotted with artisan boutiques and stylish shops, with Repulse Bay Beach within walking distance, providing easy access to seaside leisure. Nearby hiking trails winding through verdant hills offer further immersion in nature's serenity.
The project is conveniently located near The Pulse and The Repulse Bay arcade, offering a diverse array of fashion and lifestyle boutiques, and high-end dining options that cater to daily needs and leisure pursuits. The Hong Kong Golf Club, various yacht clubs, and other exclusive clubs are also within easy reach3. Families will appreciate the proximity of prestigious educational institutions in the area such as the Hong Kong International School and Guidepost Montessori Repulse Bay4.
Despite its serene setting, Verano remains well-connected to the city. Central's core business district is a convenient 25-minute drive along Repulse Bay Road, while Admiralty and Wan Chai are approximately 20 minutes away. Stanley is even closer, within a 7-minute drive5. Reaching Kowloon is equally easy, with Tsim Sha Tsui only a 25 minute-drive away5. Multiple bus and minibus stops near the development also provide easy access to key destinations across Hong Kong Island, ensuring ease of commuting and leisure travel.
