The Lands Department (LandsD) today (June 25) posted resumption notices in accordance with section 4 of the Lands Resumption Ordinance (Chapter 124) for the second batch of land under phase 1 development of San Tin Technopole (STT).
The second batch of land involves 278 private lots with an area of about 117 hectares. 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 the 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 required to depart in batches. It is 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 continue to closely liaise with the affected parties to handle the compensation and rehousing matters.
The STT, with an area of about 540 hectares, will be developed in two phases, with phase 1 development of about 365 hectares. The works are subdivided into stages, with stage 1 works commenced in end 2024. The land resumption notices for the first batch of land under phase 1 development of STT 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 about 150 000. According to the estimates in the Conceptual Outline of the Development Plan for the Innovation and Technology Industry in the San Tin Technopole published by the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau in November 2025, the STT, upon its full operation, is expected to provide over 300 000 relevant full-time jobs (including direct, indirect and induced employment) for the Hong Kong economy as a whole. The first batch of population intake under phase 1 development will commence progressively from 2031 onwards.
