Proposed Redevelopment

Under a “planning-led” approach in urban renewal works in recent years, URA has identified the area in the vicinity of the Project as Sham Shui Po Action Area 1 (SSP-AA1). The Project, together with the adjacent Cheung Wah Street/ Cheung Sha Wan Road Development Scheme (SSP-018) have been identified for redevelopment to formulate a comprehensive land-use restructuring and enhanced connectivity to create more planning gains and synergy at the district level.

The key planning proposals of the Project includes:

Provision of a footbridge connection to SSP-018 to facilitate safe and direct pedestrian linkages with the wider neighbourhood adjoining the Project;
Provision of 750sq.m. of open space fronting Cheung Wah Street to integrate with the adjacent open space network;
Redevelopment of the existing dilapidating buildings into modern residential development with podium commercial/retail development.
