The Housing Bureau today awarded the second operation and management contract of the Light Public Housing (LPH) projects to Easy Living Consultant Limited & Yan Chai Hospital Joint Venture at a tender sum of about $168 million.

The contract includes the operation and management of two LPH projects at Choi Hing Road and Choi Shek Lane in Ngau Tau Kok. Both venues will provide about 2,290 and 148 LPH units respectively, with intakes expected in the second quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026.

Under the bureau’s steer and supervision, the operating organisation will need to carry out pre-management works effectively to ensure the smooth handling of LPH application and intake matters, and provide various services and ancillary facilities for the residents and local community immediately upon intake.

Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho pointed out that having one organisation handle the operation and management of two LPH projects in proximity could enhance flexibility and utilisation of resources, thereby increasing efficiency and expanding the service scope.

She said: “I aspire to work closely with various operating organisations in the coming years to ensure effective operation and management, hence allowing the residents and nearby community to benefit from the projects’ ancillary facilities and community services.

“I would also like to appeal to other organisations that are interested in operating LPH to actively participate in the tenders of other projects, thereby working together with the Government to improve the living environment of grassroots people and help them in their pursuit towards happiness.”
