The Lands Department (LandsD) today (June 25) posted land resumption notices in accordance with section 4 of the Lands Resumption Ordinance (Chapter 124) for the development of the San Tin Technopole (STT) (Phase 1) (Second Batch).
Two hundred and seventy-eight private lots with an area of about 117 hectares to be resumed by the Government. The land will revert to the Government upon the expiry of a period of three months from the date of affixing the notices (i.e. September 26, 2026).
The above-mentioned land reversion date is not the departure deadlines for affected households and business undertakings. The LandsD will post notices in relevant areas about three months before the departure deadlines for the affected parties. According to the project programme, the affected parties are scheduled to depart in batches. It is now estimated that the affected households and business undertakings will have to move out between the end of 2026 and the first half of 2027. The LandsD and its appointed Community Liaison Service Team will closely liaise with the affected parties to handle compensation and rehousing matters.
The STT (excluding the Loop), with an area of about 540 hectares, will be developed in two phases, with the Phase 1 development of about 365 hectares. The works for the Phase 1 development are subdivided into two stages, with an area of about 158 hectares for Stage 1 works and about 207 hectares for Stage 2 works. The Stage 1 works commenced late 2024. The land resumption notices for the development of STT (Phase1) (First Batch) were posted on July 10, 2025, involving about 62 hectares of land. The said land reverted to the Government on October 11, 2025, and is gradually being handed over to the Civil Engineering and Development Department for site formation and engineering infrastructure works. Upon full development, the STT will provide about 50 000 residential flats, accommodating a new population of more than 150 000. It will also create about 160 000 employment opportunities. The first population intake of about 18 000 under the Phase 1 Stage 1 development will start progressively from 2031 onwards.
