HIGH NUMBER OF NEW BUILDING PLANS APPROVED
A total of 148 new building plans was approved by the Buildings
Ordinance Office in July this year nearly four times the number for
the corresponding month last year.
The figure was only 15 short of the record of 163 reached in June. More than half of the new plans approved were for residential
or for combined apartment/commercial buildings. These included a 29-storey apartment/commercial building at the junction of Victoria Road and Cadogan Street, a similar 27-storey building in King's Road, and two blocks of 26-storey apartment/commercial buildings in Kai Yuen Terrace and Wun
Sha Street respectively.
At the same time, plans were also approved for a 28-storey commercial building in Connaught Road Central, a 26-storey factory building in Ma Kok Street, Tsuen Wan, and a 9-storey sports centre in Caroline Hill Road.
Buildings certified for occupation during the month included
seven for domestic use, 15 for non-domestic use, and 34 for combined
domestic/non-domestic use. The declared construction cost of these buildings
amounted to over $131 million.
In addition, the Building Authority gave permission for 71 building
projects to commence work
