The Lands Department today posted land resumption notices for the second batch of Phase 1 of the San Tin Technopole (STT) development.

For the second batch, a total of 278 private lots, covering an area of about 117 hectares, will be resumed under the Lands Resumption Ordinance. The land will officially revert to the Government on September 26.

The department emphasised that it will maintain close liaison with all affected parties to properly handle compensation and rehousing matters.

The STT project spans a total area of approximately 540 hectares and is being rolled out in two phases. Phase 1 will cover about 365 hectares and is further subdivided into two stages. Stage 1 works commenced at the end of 2024.

Land for the first batch of the Phase 1 development, measuring about 62 hectares, reverted to the Government on October 11 last year. This area is currently being handed over to the Civil Engineering & Development Department in phases for site formation and infrastructure works.

Upon its full completion, the STT will supply approximately 50,000 residential flats to accommodate a new population of more than 150,000.

The STT, upon its full operation, is also expected to provide over 300,000 full-time jobs for the Hong Kong economy as a whole.

The first batch of residents under the Phase 1 development will start moving in progressively from 2031.
