Buildings Department moves to new office

The Buildings Department will move to its new office in Mong Kok tomorrow (Tuesday).

The new address is 12th to 18th floors, Pioneer Centre, 750 Nathan Road, Kowloon.

Covering an area of about 10,800 square metres, which is about 57 per cent larger than the old office in Murray Building in Central, the new premises will provide a more spacious and pleasant environment for the public to check building plans and enquire about building safety matters.

"The new office, located in a modern commercial building, is also easily accessible by public transportation.

"Direction signs have been put up at the nearby Prince Edward Mass Transit Railway Station, which is about two minutes' walk from the new office," a spokesman for the department said.

The new telephone numbers are:

Building safety hotline

2626 1234

Building information hotline

2626 1313

General enquiries

2626 1616

2537 4992
