BRIEF NO 18.
BRIEF BY OVERSEAS ESTATE DEPARTMENT FOR THE VISIT OF
MR GOODLAD TO HONG KONG : OCTOBER 1993
1. A sheet of Essential Facts and Post Estate Strategy is
attached.
Offices:
Bank of America Tower
2. The lease of the British Trade Commission (BTC) offices
runs until April 1997 but can be terminated earlier if need
be.
Following a reorganisation of the offices in 1992 there
are no known problems although, as a contingency in the run up to 1997, there is some spare space.
St John's Building
3.
The Joint Liaison Group (JLG) offices, leased until June
1995 with an option to renew, are also larger than we
currently need and could provide for additional requirements
in the period up to 1997.
Residences:
4.
The Senior Trade Commissioners Residence is a penthouse
in an admirably located block "The Albany" which was leased,
adapted and furnished in 1989. The flat could serve as an interim Residence post 1997 if necessary.
