One of Hong Kong's leading developer's Henderson Land will lease a piece of land in Kong Ha Wai in Kam Tin to the government, probably for a peppercorn fee. The land, which is about the size of seven football pitches, will be used for temporary transitional housing.
Speaking at a seminar, Henderson's executive director Augustine Wong said the land is 15-minutes' walk from the Kam Tin MTR station and it will be able to house between 7,000 and 8,000 people. Each unit will have surface area of between 150 and 350 square feet.
Henderson Land will not operate the project.
The Housing Secretary Frank Chan has said the government plans to lease the land for seven years, subject to renewal.
In her policy address, the Chief Executive Carrie Lam promised to provide a total of 10,000 transitional housing units over the next three years.
