Project Programme
Project commenced in December 2022.
Target completion by 2031/32.
Proposed Redevelopment
Under a “planning-led” and “district-based” urban renewal approach, the Project will integrate redevelopment (R1) and revitalization (R4) initiatives to expand URA’s continuous urban renewal works in the area.
The Project would enhance the overall accessibility and connectivity of the area and at the same time create synergy with the adjoining redevelopments for greater planning gain. The key planning objectives and proposals of the Project includes:
- Provide a new public open space (POS) of about 150sq.m. for public enjoyment;
- Open-up the Sung Hing Lane (SHL) Children’s Playground towards Queen’s Road West to enhance its connectivity and accessibility;
- Provide about 180 new residential units with commercial / retail facilities; and about 150sq.m. non-domestic GFA for government, institution or community (GIC) facilities; and
- Revitalise SHL Children’s Playground to uplift the facilities and enhance environment (subject to agreement with relevant government departments).
