The Hong Kong Industrial Estates Corporation Annual Report 1987-88
MR. CHEONG: Sir, it gives me great pleasure to table the Annual Report of the Hong Kong Industrial Estates Corporation and to report that 1987-88 was the corporation's best year on record, with grants of land totalling 19.6 hectares through a total of 20 Agreements for Lease. By comparison, the average area of land granted in the three previous years was 8.5 hectares, with the previous best year, 1985-86, totalling 11.2 hectares. The strong demand reported in the two previous years continued but at an even quicker pace. The varied nature of the companies applying and meeting the corporation's selection criteria undoubtedly helps to broaden Hong Kong's industrial base. Moreover, the average committed investment of grantees rose during the year from $53 million per hectare to $68 million per hectare. This is an encouraging sign of more capital- intensive operations being attracted to Hong Kong.
The year, Sir, saw a large site granted on the Tai Po Estate to the first of a number of multi-national companies involved in compounding and production of master batches and feedstock for use by the plastics conversion industry. It also saw the signing of an agreement for the construction of an advanced semi- conductor facility incorporating an important design centre on another large site in the high technology zone on the Tai Po Estate.
