Crossing Hennessy - Jacky Cheung (2010) - May Road, Mid-levels
Speaking of May Road, the very next shot has Loy running close to the last location but running past a historical residential building called "Gladdon", at #3 May Road, with its rather unique array of garage doors. There's actually fourteen doors in total and a single penthouse apartment above them all. I'm not sure who lives there but I believe it was bought by Kerry properties in 1988, so it's probably lived in by one of the members of Robert Kuok's family (he who owns Shangri-la Hotels, Kerry Group et al). Just a guess, mind you.

Gladdon was Leslie Cheung's home in He's a Woman, She's a Man. It shouldn't be the actual interior though because I have seen recent leasing pictures of the house. The lease only includes one parking spot. I'd only lease if it includes all the parking, not that I'll ever be able to afford to live there.
It wouldn't surprise me if all the other garages were used by the various drivers for the Kuok family. They had/have...many!
