Nan Fung Group Becomes First Developer to Submit Proposal for the Government’s Land Sharing Pilot Scheme

Nan Fung Group is pleased to announce that it has become the first property developer in Hong Kong to apply for the Land Sharing Pilot Scheme (LSPS) implemented by the Development Bureau, echoing the Government’s call for increasing public and private housing supply through sustainable urban development.

Rooted in Hong Kong for more than 60 years, Nan Fung has built a diversified portfolio of residential projects to meet the local demand for home ownership. The Group also actively develop programmes that support neighbourhoods in sustainable development, social well-being and inclusive growth.

Since the Development Bureau announced the details of the LSPS in May 2020, Nan Fung has been engaging a professional team to study the details of the scheme and closely working with relevant government departments to develop the proposal. Nan Fung plans to allocate two sites on Lo Fai Road and Ting Kok Road, Tai Po, respectively, for the LSPS. When developed, both sites will have a combined gross floor area of ​about 85,000 square metres. The proposal aims to provide 1,642 residential units, of which 70 per cent will be public housing.

The proposal has already been submitted to the Government for approval and we hope that the relevant Government bureaux and departments, as well as the Panel of Advisors will support the proposal. Nan Fung will follow up closely with the Development Bureau on this application and hope to kickstart the statutory and administration procedures soon.
