Property developers and consortia are invited to submit their Interest to Participate for Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation’s San Tin Technopole development, according to CBRE, the lead consultant for the business, operation, and investment models of the project.
The development led by HKSTP will be developed on 20 hectares of government-granted land, with construction set to begin in 2027, the property adviser said in a statement on Wednesday.
As outlined in the 2024 Policy Address, the government aims to deliver approximately 20 hectares of new innovation and technology sites in phases, starting from 2026–27, for HKSTP's development and operation.
The deadline for the submissions is set at noon on June 21.
As part of the Northern Metropolis development, the broader San Tin Technopole, encompassing over 600 hectares, will have half of its area designed for innovation and technology use.
This translates into 7 million square meters of gross floor area for research & development, prototyping, pilot testing, and advanced manufacturing.
Strategically located near Shenzhen, the development is designed to complement Shenzhen’s I&T zones in Huanggang and Futian, forming a synergistic innovation hub.
It will become a comprehensive I&T ecosystem, catalysing growth in sectors such as artificial intelligence and data science, life and health tech, new material/energy, microelectronics/electronics and advanced manufacturing.
