Hong Kong’s Urban Renewal Authority (URA) received seven tender submissions for a major waterfront residential redevelopment project in Hung Hom, drawing bids from some of the city’s largest developers despite a subdued land market.
The authority said on Monday that seven developers submitted tenders for the project before the noon deadline. A tender review panel under the URA board will assess the bids before making recommendations, with the board to decide on the successful developer.
Wheelock Properties and Chinachem Group confirmed to the South China Morning Post that they had submitted a tender, while Sino Land said it had formed a consortium with Kerry Properties and Great Eagle Holdings to bid for the project.
Other bidders include CK Asset Holdings, Sun Hung Kai Properties, K. Wah International, and China Overseas Land & Investment, according to local Chinese media reports and sources.
The URA said in a statement on Monday that the project was expected to add new housing supply to one of Kowloon’s key urban renewal districts and “to maximise the site’s development potential while creating better links between the Hung Hom waterfront and planned developments further inland”.
The 7,610-square-metre (81,900 sq ft) site at the junction of Bailey Street and Chi Kiang Street is expected to provide at least 1,200 flats, with a maximum gross floor area of about 737,226 sq ft.
