The Urban Renewal Authority said on Friday that it is planning to redevelop several old buildings and surrounding public facilities along Queen's Road West in Sheung Wan for future residential and commercial use.
Covering a gross site area of some 2,000 square metres, the project will involve buildings at the intersection of Queen's Road West and In Ku Lane. It also includes the relocation of a refuse collection point and public toilets to make space for a public open area.
The URA's executive director, Michael Ma, said the aim of the plan is to rationalise the land use and benefit the community.
The URA has also proposed another project concerning buildings at the junction of Oak Street and Ivy Street in Tai Kok Tsui.
Covering a gross site area of 820 square metres, the redevelopment will be for residential and retail use.
