An unidentified buyer paid HK$132,000 ($17,000) per square foot for a luxury flat in Hong Kong’s exclusive Peak neighborhood, making it Asia’s most expensive apartment by area, according to Knight Frank LLP.

The buyer shelled out more than HK$1.16 billion Monday for two adjacent apartments at No. 8 Mount Nicholson, said Wheelock Properties Ltd. The record was set by the smaller of the two, which sold for HK$560 million. The project is a joint venture with Nan Fung Development.
