The development will introduce an all-weather pedestrian walkway system filled with sunlight, designed to connect the entire Lee Gardens Area directly to the Causeway Bay MTR station. The walk, which will take about five to seven minutes, will be enhanced with convenient grab-and-go options and artistic installations, offering a sustainable and enjoyable route to Lee Garden Eight.
Systra MVA, a global transport infrastructure consultancy, has been tasked with designing the entrance and exit strategies for Lee Garden Eight, aiming to improve at-grade road conditions. This project includes the expansion of Caroline Hill Road and Leighton Road, anticipated to enhance traffic efficiency in the area by up to 25 percent.
The commitment to creating a well-connected community extends to targeted enhancements within the Lee Garden Eight precinct. These improvements will introduce a new retail hub featuring premium stores and outdoor dining options, as well as a vast 60,000-square-foot green space open to the public. This initiative aims to establish a new green landmark in the bustling heart of Causeway Bay.
Further streetscape enhancements throughout the Lee Gardens Area will improve both functionality and aesthetics, helping to shape a vibrant, self-sufficient community that merges office, retail, and lifestyle elements, thereby transforming the precinct for the future.
