Industrial and Other Major Development
The Tseung Kwan O Innopark (previously known
as Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate), covering
about 85 ha of land and enjoying marine frontage,
is located in Area 87 in the southeastern part of
the New Town. It is repositioned as an Innopark
by focusing on Hong Kong’s competitive
strengths and attracting high value-added, high
technology content and advanced processes.
As at 2022, about 90% of the industrial lots
in the Innopark were developed. A variety of
corporations have established their businesses
in the Innopark, including Data Technology (DT)
Hub and Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC) Figure 17: DT Hub and Advanced Manufacturing Centre in
(Figure 17), multi-media production studios and Tseung Kwan O Innopark
aircraft engineering and maintenance groups.
Data centres are essential infrastructure to
sustain Hong Kong’s continued economic
development, in particular for the financial,
information and communication technology,
e-commerce and media sectors. Over the past
few years, a number of international and local
companies have expressed interest in setting up
data centres in Hong Kong. Land has also been
reserved in Area 85 for data centre developments
(Figure 18) and RTHK’s New Broadcasting Figure 18: Data centre developments in Area 85
House.
Area 137
A desalination plant has been proposed by the Water Supplies Department at the southeastern corner of
Area 137 (Figure 19) for providing fresh water supply to the local community.
The development potential of the remaining area
of Area 137 will be examined under a planning
and engineering study jointly commissioned by
the Planning Department and Civil Engineering
and Development Department. Area 137, with an
area of about 80 ha, will be primarily for housing
purpose to establish a new community with about
50,000 residential units for accommodating a
total population of about 135 000, which will
be supported by commercial and community
facilities as well as infrastructure.
