The Urban Renewal Authority plans to implement two redevelopment projects costing about $860 million in Ma Tau Kok to regenerate the district. About 450 residents in 175 households will be affected.

 

Located at the junctions of Chi Kiang Street and Ha Heung Road, and Pak Tai Street and Mok Cheong Street, the projects involve 10 buildings and 121 property interests. All the buildings date to the 1950s and are in a dilapidated condition.

 

The two project sites, occupying about 1,700 square metres, will be redeveloped to provide about 210 residential units and 2,560 square metres of commercial floor area, scheduled for completion by 2014.
