The MTR Corporation has evolved in tandem with Hong Kong for over 45 years. In addition to delivering efficient railway services to the public, it has developed numerous "people-centric" communities through the "Rail plus Community" concept. Telford Plaza, as MTR's first railway property development, commenced phased operations in 1980. Alongside Telford Gardens, built atop the MTR Kowloon Bay Depot, it emerged as the largest project of its kind globally at that time, seamlessly integrating housing, commercial spaces, and public amenities. This development not only addresses the everyday needs of residents and office workers in the district, but also fulfills a commitment to community responsibility by fostering connections among various stakeholders.
Located in Kowloon Bay for 45 years, Telford Gardens and Telford Plaza, as Hong Kong's first railway property development, have consistently driven the rapid economic and social development of the area. They have witnessed the transformation of Kowloon East from an industrial hub into a major commercial hub that seamlessly integrates residential and commercial spaces. The Telford Community, as a flagship success developed under MTR's "Rail plus Community" concept, has set a benchmark for building more sustainable and people-centric communities across Hong Kong, giving rise to vibrant communities such as Heng Fa Chuen and Paradise Mall, Luk Yeung Sun Chuen and Luk Yeung Galleria, LOHAS Park and The LOHAS, as well as THE SOUTHSIDE and THE SOUTHSIDE mall. Each of these diverse communities reflects MTR's commitment to residents, the community and to Hong Kong.
