land on which the Island Resort complex is situated is the most expensive in the city; in 1997, prior to the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong, Sino Land purchased the 2,500,000-square-metre (27,000,000 sq ft) piece of land for US$1,515,384,620 in order to develop the Island Resort complex. The purchase was the last major land sale in Hong Kong that took place while the United Kingdom was still in control, and was also the most expensive land transaction in the city's history.
