Aegean Terrace is a character lowrise building completed in 1990 by Ryoden Development. Secluded on the cul-de-sac of Sassoon Road, which is considered a prestigious neighbourhood housing some of the most prominent figures, Aegean Terrace is built on the contour of a steep slope, surrounded by the lush green environment.

This building cascades on three levels "steps", essentially 3 sections having different elevations, comprising totally 28 luxury apartments. There are 5 apartments per floor on 2 storeys for Step 1, 4 apartments per floor on 3 storeys for Step 2, and 2 apartments per floor on 3 storeys for Step 3. On the Entrace Level, there are sufficient covered carpark spaces for the residents and visitors. The building is professionally managed with 24-hour security.

Since the surrounding area has low vehicular traffic, residents could take advantage of quiet neighbourhood to jog or walk their dogs. Close to The Cyber Port Arcade, and within short driving distance to Kennedy Town and Central, it has easy access for shopping and is convenient for daily commute.

Historically, most of these apartments are owned by end-users. Consequently, availabilities within the building are quite rare, both for sale and for rental.

Pokfulam is a country area outside of Western Districts before reaching Aberdeen. Starting from HKU, it consists of Mount Davis, Sandy Bay, Cyber Port, Chi Fu before ending with Tin Wan. In the past, Pokfulam Road was seriously congested, giving rise to Pokfulam Moratorium in the 1970's which is still in force today to slow down and reduce scale from property developments to control the amount of traffic generated within the Pokfulam area. Over time, the outcome is Pokfulam remains largely under developed compared to neighbouring districts.

Infrastructure improvement in recent years tremendously reduced travel time and have made Pokfulam a desirable housing district. Extension of Route 4 from Kennedy Town to Central provides a bypass away from Sai Ying Pun for vehicles to and from Pokfulam and Kennedy Town. MTR extension to Western District provide alternative to commuters further ease traffic during rush hours.
