Mong Kok is about to gain the title of Hong Kong’s “Green Heart,” as property developer Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) has unveiled its plans for the development of the residential district with an array of green and sustainable elements.
Under the project, SHKP is slated to build a 320-metre tall, 53-storey tower as the development’s centerpiece. The building is projected to be the second tallest commercial landmark in Kowloon and will be equipped with a public rooftop viewing platform.
It will also feature a 200,000-square-foot shopping mall, five community facilities, outdoor spaces, and a 1.2 million-square-foot commercial space.
Another landmark rising soon in Mong Kok is SHKP’s “Ficus Plaza,” a public space that will feature three banyan trees, along with 50 other trees and green areas that will create a “'Cool Island Effect.”
Other facilities to look forward to include 800 private car parking spaces, a public transport hub, two landscaped walkways that will lead visitors to the Mong Kok East MTR Station deck, and a footbridge to Hak Po Street for greater connectivity to neighboring districts.
The development comes after SHKP won the tender to build a commercial site in the district’s Sai Yee Street last year, allowing them to develop the area.
