A Hong Kong real estate company controlled by the billionaire Cheng family, is in talks with Louis Vuitton to open a mega store in one of its signature malls. The new store would occupy about 40,000 square feet at the K11 Musea mall, making it one of Louis Vuitton’s largest in Asia, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters.
