Isolation facilities to be used for Hong Kong-Shenzhen I&T Park

The lands used were formerly housing community isolation facilities.

The government announced the release of about 5 hectares of land at the southern end of Hong Kong Park in the Loop for the construction of 5 buildings for batch one Phase 1 of the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation & Technology Park.

This will facilitate the development of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science & Technology Innovation Co-operation Zone.

Batch one of Phase 1 construction includes 8 buildings with 3 buildings under construction by the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation & Technology Park scheduled for completion in phases from end-2024.

The lands used are formerly housing community isolation facilities to be transferred to other locations for reuse with the majority to be moved to construction sites of government projects to serve as site offices, restrooms for site staff, and material storage rooms.

The government will begin transferring the facilities soon, aiming to complete the process within the first quarter.

Meanwhile, site formation works will commence to start the construction as early as possible.

The government is also working on providing medical services to patients in the Central Government-Aided Emergency Hospital in the Loop to shorten the patients’ waiting time and relieve the pressure on radiology services in public hospitals.
