The Hong Kong SAR Government recently announced the details of the three pilot areas of large-scale land disposal in the Northern Metropolis, the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area, the Fanling North New Development Area and the San Tin Technopole.
Each pilot area covers private residential, industry and public facility sites. Developers are required to carry out site formation and engineering infrastructure works for all the sites.
Developers can retain the residential sites for development and hand other sites back to the government for management after constructing some public facilities such as roads and open space.
The requirements on industry sites vary across the pilot areas, including the developers retaining certain sites to construct and operate an enterprise and technology park building, requiring developers to construct an industry building and then hand it back to the government, and some only requiring the developers to carry out site formation.

The government will launch a three-month exercise in December to invite interested parties to submit expressions of interest for the three pilot areas to finalise the tender details and conditions later.
