Harbour Plaza flats plan set

The proposal by CK Asset (1113) to convert the Harbour Plaza Resort City hotel in Tin Shui Wai into 1,102 flats is set to be approved by the Town Planning Board today.

With a site area of 27,900 square meters, CK Asset plans to rebuild the two blocks which involve 55,668 square meters of gross floor area for residential use and 52,395 of area for commercial use.

CK Asset applied to the board in 2019 for the redevelopment which would offer 5,000 flats with an area of 139,500 square meters for residential use and obtained the approval at the end of 2020.

Meanwhile, an application to turn the Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard in Tsim Sha Tsui into a food and beverage hub is expected to receive the green light as well, as the strip has been hit by a lackluster market.

The owners of three shop properties applied to the Town Planning Board for a change in June.

Another grant may go to the conversion of Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay - a hotel owned by Sea Holdings (0251) - into a 28-story commercial building for offices, shops and services and eating venues. With a site area of 996.38 sq m and a plot ratio of 15 times, the hotel will be rebuilt into a commercial project with an area of 14,945.66 square meters.
