HOUSING DEPARTMENT OFFICES TO BE CENTRALISED
The Housing Department is to centralise its three offices at
Ma Tau Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and San Po Kong under one roof to enable it
to function more officiently.
Flans have been finalised for the construction of a 21-storey
head office building in the Ho Man Tin area of Kowloon.
It will be erected on a 41,000-square-foot site to the north
of Oi Man Estate and should be completed in two years.
Site formation work had just beca completed and work on caissons
which is in hand should be finished in about two months.
Meanwhile, the Housing Department is inviting tenders for the
construction of the super-structure and ancillary works.
The project will provide a total of 145,000 square feet of office
accommodation, of which about 10,000 square feet will be below podium
level.
When completed in early 1976, the building will house the various
divisions and sections of the Housing Department, which are at present
located far away from each other.
A spokesman for the Housing Department said that the department
will certainly function more efficiently with all its administration,
operation, estate management, and construction branches under the same roof.
