DEVELOPMENT IN HO MAN TIN UNDERWAY
G**
Intensive construction work is going on in the Ho Man Tin area
under a development scheme to provide residential and commerical buildings.
Site formation for the Ho Man Tin Development Stage VII is to
make available one million square feet of land for residential, commercial
and other uses. This work will be completed in mid-1973.
The area is the last major land development in Central Kowloon.
It is situated to the north of the Oi Man Estate, bounded by Princess
Margaret Road and Fat Kwong Street near the Pui Ching Road Flyover.
Road and other ancillary works will closely follow the completion
of the site formation, and part of the land will be ready for use in 1974.
At the same time, the construction of the Ho Man Tin Low Cost
Housing Estate, situated on the site, is also nearing completion. This
estate of eight blocks ranging from seven to 16 storeys, will be the
homes of more than 26,000 people.
Construction work on this estate is being carried out in three
stages. The first two stages of six blocks to house 15,000 people
will be completed towards the end of this year. The third and last stage
will be ready in March 1973.
The estate will also have schools, markets, a bank, a post office,
a community centre and shops.
