The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) receives more than 4,906 applications for its 43 remaining units in eResidence which are designated as “Starter Homes” (SH) units upon the close of application submission at 7pm on 23 November 2020.
Since the commencement of applications for the 43 SH units on 10 November 2020, more than 410 visitors have viewed the on-site show flats, while the enquiry service hotline has received over 1,320 enquiries on information including eligibility criteria, sales arrangement and show-flat appointment.
The show flats will remain open for viewing until 21 December 2020 for those applicants who have submitted their applications. Those applicants who are interested to view the show flats are requested to make appointments via the online booking system (www.eresidence.hk).
The Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) has been commissioned by the URA to carry out the eligibility vetting process. Upon the close of application period, the HKHS will conduct checking on the completeness of all application forms. Random assignment of priority numbers will be conducted in December 2020 to determine the priority numbers of applicants, followed by applicants’ interview in the order of their priority numbers within a specified period of time.
The exact dates of flat selection will be announced by the URA in the Sales Arrangements in due course. The Sales Arrangement for the SH units will be uploaded to the eResidence’s website (www.eresidence.hk) and the Sales of First-hand Residential Properties Electronic Platform (www.srpe.gov.hk) in accordance with the Residential Properties (First-hand Sales) Ordinance.
