The URA has successively launched tenders for the To Kwa Wan redevelopment site this year. Following the approval of the Bailey Street/Wing Kwong Street project to Henderson Land in September, the URA also launched the To Kwa Wan Hung Fook Street/Nin Hon Street project. The tender will be closed this Thursday. . Yesterday, we made persistent efforts and announced the merger of 4 sites and simultaneous recruitment of letters of intent, which will be due on the 7th of next month. The 4 sites are Kaiming Street Project, Hung Fook Street/Qiming Street Project, Kaiming Street/Rongguang Street Project, and Rongguang Street Project.

They are located on the north side of Huanhai·East Coast, and it is only a few minutes walk to To Kwawan Station. According to information from the URA, the total site area of the project is 58,535 square feet. It is possible to develop a commercial and residential project with a plot ratio of 9 times, and the upper limit of the total floor area is about 526,812 square feet.

According to the URA, developers and consortia that have successfully obtained projects must follow the "overall design requirements" for the development of the To Kwa Wan community in Kowloon City as the blueprint for the construction of new development projects, and rebuild them with the adjacent URA. The project generates synergies to achieve a more complete and integrated reorganization and planning of the entire community, promote the connectivity and walking environment of the community, and use more distinctive "place creation" and smart elements to enhance the suitability of the area. Habitat.

The URA adopts a "community development" model to carry out a total of eight connected development projects in the To Kwa Wan community in Kowloon City, including this development project. The eight projects will be awarded cooperative development contracts to developers at different times, but each project will continue to exert synergies through the standards set by the "overall design requirements".
