Project Description

A Study led by TCL to achieve environmental improvement and revitalisation of the District through private initiatives. This proposal included a Mega Tower Hotel, Residential and Open Space Development at a number of linked Sites at Kennedy Road, Queen's Road East, Ship Street and Sam Pan Street. The intention is to channel private capital into the property sector as a stimulus to the current lacklustre economy; create a catalyst for socio-economic growth; provide a coherent and integrated comprehensive development in Wan Chai South; avoid piecemeal and sporadic development; attract population back into the District though the provision of well-serviced residential accommodation; better utilize existing school provision; provide employment opportunities; provide visitor attractions, hospitality and convention facilities; improve the Open Space provision in the District, at the same time facilitating the Ship Street Revitalisation Scheme and encouraging social interaction of the local population; create a pedestrian - friendly environment with a system of dedicated pedestrian walkways and provide for the disabled; preserve and upgrade historical buildings and their environs; and improve the vibrancy of the District. With the stimulus of these integrated development proposals for the area, a central attraction to Wan Chai South is to be created.
