Property developers, the Candy brothers, who were mocked for starting their extravagant rebovation project four years ago in central London, say that the 50 apartments at One Hyde Park have now been sold with less than 30 luxury property’s left to sell.
One of the One Hyde Park penthouses was sold for over £135m to an unknown foreign tycoon who is has ordered £50m of interior works. Property experts claim the luxury apartment is the most expensive in the world.
Nick Candy said that of the £1.1bn the brothers borrowed from Eurohypo Bank to fund the project, over £900m has been repaid. He has confirmed that the remaining "balance will be paid by the end of the month."

The profit from future sales will be boosted by the sale of the retail space on the ground floor to Rolex and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank which has been agreed at £50.4m.
Prices at the Knightsbridge luxury apartment project start at £6.5m for a simple one-bedroom flat and average at about £6,000 per square foot. The development is backed by the Prime Minister of Qatar.
The development is Christian and Nick Candy's most ambitious project yet. It is also likely to be their most successful.
The brothers, who started out with a £6,000 loan from their grandmother, have worked on a series of developments through their CPC Group vehicle.
As important clients of Kaupthing, Iceland's biggest bank, the pair was hit hard during the financial crisis forcing them to restructure a joint venture in Beverley Hills and another on the Middlesex Hospital site.
