Invitation for Expressions of Interest for Development of URA’s Kowloon Road/Kiu Yam Street Demand-led Project in Sham Shui Po

The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) will invite interested developers to submit Expressions of Interest for the development of the Kowloon Road/Kiu Yam Street demand-led redevelopment project in Sham Shui Po tomorrow (Wednesday).

The project site, which covers an area of 543 square metres, was commenced in April 2013 under the second round of the URA's Demand-led Redevelopment Projects (Pilot Scheme).  It is tentatively scheduled for completion by 2019/2020, upon which it is planned to provide about 80 residential units with a total residential gross floor area of about 4,070 square metres and 814 square metres of commercial gross floor area.

Information about the submission of the Expression of Interest for the project will be available at the URA's website (www.urg.org.hk) and published in some local newspapers tomorrow.  The Invitation Brochure for the project can be obtained upon request from the URA's Headquarters.  Developers interested in the development are requested to submit the duly completed and signed Reply Form, together with the required information to substantiate their development experience and financial capability to undertake the development in accordance with the requirements and criteria set by the URA.  All Expressions of Interest should be submitted to the URA Headquarters at 26/F COSCO Tower, 183 Queen's Road Central, by 12:00 noon on 18 August 2016 (Thursday).

A tender review panel under the URA Board will shortlist qualified companies and invite them to submit tenders for the development later.
