4 Sham Shui Po sites to be redeveloped
*

The government will resume four sites in Sham Shui Po for redevelopment, the Lands Department says.

 

The Urban Renewal Authority will implement the project in association with the Hong Kong Housing Society, helping to rejuvenate the old district and improve residents' living conditions.

 

Mixed-use development is permitted on the sites and the current proposals are for residential developments with commercial use on the lower floors.

 

A total of 147 interests of the four sites - in Castle Peak Road/Cheung Wah Street; Castle Peak Road/Hing Wah Street/Un Chau Street; Un Chau Street/Hing Wah Street/Fuk Wing Street; and Castle Peak Road/Hing Wah Street  - will be resumed under the Lands Resumption Ordinance. 

 

The affected interests will revert to the Government three months after the date of the Gazette Notice to be posted on the site. Details of the private land affected are contained in the Gazette published today.

 

Upon completion of resumption and clearance, the four sites covering a total area of about 7,157 square metres will be granted to the Hong Kong Housing Society at a nominal premium for redevelopment.
