Kim Shin Lane/Fuk Wa Street Project (SSP-017) and Cheung Wah Street/                              Chairman’s Statement
                  Cheung Sha Wan Road Project (SSP-018)
                  Commenced in 2021, the two projects aim to increase public open space and provide public facilities, and
                  redevelop existing dilapidated buildings into modern residential developments with podium commercial/retail
                  spaces, in addition to replanning and restructuring the under-utilised and sub-standard Government facilities and
                  lands to release development potential.
                  SSP-017 comprises 101 building blocks that are over 50 years old. The congested living environment, with many   Managing Director’s Statement
                  sub-divided units, demands imminent redevelopment. In April 2023, URA issued acquisition offers for SSP-017, and
                  as of the end of May 2024, over 90 percent of acceptance offers had been received. An application to the
                  Government for the resumption of land was submitted in June 2023.
                  SSP-018 is composed of two sites. Site A mainly involves Government land occupied by the existing Cheung Sha
                  Wan Sports Centre and a private lot granted to CLP Power for an electricity substation. Site B comprises wholly
                  Government land requiring no acquisition. Site A will be optimised for residential use to increase the housing
                  supply, representing the first project where the Government provides financial support through the provision of
                  land resources to facilitate redevelopment. Site B will be replanned to provide a new JUC with increased
                  community facilities, including the reprovisioning of the existing sports centre at Site A under the concept of “Single   Operating Review
                  Site, Multiple Use”. The total G/IC facilities floor area proposed in the project is approximately 33 times the size of
                  the current area.

                  The DSP of SSP-018 was approved by CE-in-C in February 2023. Application to the Government for resumption of
                  the only one interest being used as an electricity sub-station was submitted in January 2024.     Corporate Sustainability
