The Innovation, Technology & Industry Bureau and the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) today invited expressions of interest (EOI) for the development at Sandy Ridge in North District for innovation and technology and related purposes.

The OGCIO pointed out that a change in the use of the site, which is located in the Northern Metropolis near Lo Wu, was proposed in last year’s Policy Address.

Taking into account the location of the site, infrastructure planning, commercial, transport and community facilities in the vicinity, as well as the industry's keen demand for digital infrastructure facilities, the Government is of the initial view that it is worth exploring the feasibility of developing this "spade-ready site", and its nearby land with development potential, into a data park for data centres and related industries.

A briefing session on the invitation for EOI will be held on June 27.

The deadline for submission of the EOI is noon on July 31.
