The Housing Bureau today awarded the operation and management contract for the Light Public Housing (LPH) project at Tsing Fat Street in Tuen Mun to the China Overseas Property Services Limited – Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Joint Venture, at tender sums of about $180.67 million.
The project will provide about 4,200 units, with tenant intake anticipated in the third quarter of this year. It involves a supermarket, convenience stores, catering facilities, launderettes, a fresh provisions shop, a hair salon, an activity room, a public transport terminus and a promenade.
The Housing Bureau said it will supervise the operating organisation in carrying out pre-management works in order to ensure the smooth handling of LPH applications and intake matters, and to provide various services for the local community upon intake.
Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho said: “With the experience of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in the LPH operation and management, together with China Overseas Property Services Limited’s solid property management experience in public rental housing, we are confident that they are capable of bringing significant improvement to the lives of about 4,200 units of families who will be moving into the LPH.”
To date, eight out of 13 LPH projects have already been completed, providing about 19,130 units. Among these, 9,650 units had achieved full intake by the first quarter of this year.
“We expect that about 10,670 more LPH units will be completed within 2026, while the remaining small batch of about 200 LPH units will also be completed in early 2027, gradually moving towards the target proposed by the Chief Executive in the 2022 Policy Address of completing the construction of about 30,000 LPH units before 2027-28,” Ms Ho added.
About 41,600 applications for LPH housing have been received as at early July.
