Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area (HSK/HT NDA)
This NDA is located on the west of the Northern Metropolis and near the Shenzhen Bay Port. With its geographical proximity to Qianhai, this NDA will be connected with Qianhai by the Hong Kong- Shenzhen Western Rail Link under planning. It will also be connected with the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands by railway and subsequently with the Hong Kong Island and the airport. The HSK/HT NDA can interconnect with the Qianhai Cooperation Zone to become a "modern service centre", providing professional services and modern logistics as well as serving as a regional commercial centre.
The works for the First Phase Development of HSK/HT NDA have commenced in 2020 and the first batch of public housing development (Hong Kong Housing Society's dedicated rehousing estate "Casa Eminence" ) was completed and population intake commenced gradually from 2024 (intake for subsidised sale flat "Eminence Terrace I" commenced in Oct 2024 while intake for rental estate "Eminence Tower 1" commenced in March 2025). The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council approved the funding for the site formation and infrastructure works for the Second Phase Development of the NDA in May 2024, and the works commenced in June 2024. It is expected the works would be completed by phases from 2030 to 2032.
As a modern service centre, HSK/HT NDA will provide not less than 2 million square meters of commercial floor area. Among them, a number of commercial sites is planned adjoining the Tuen Ma Line Hung Shui Kiu Station (around 10.6 hectares), together with other sites for commercial/residential development, can provide more than 1 million square metres of commercial floor area, thereby driving the economic development of the entire area.
We have also reserved land in HSK/HT NDA and Yuen Long South NDA to support multiple industrial users ranging from logistics and port back-up uses, vehicle servicing and maintenance, construction of modular integrated construction units, to modern manufacturing. Some of the land can be used for the development of multi-storey buildings (MSBs). Under the "East in East out, West in West out" strategy for cross-boundary freight traffic, HSK/HT NDA which connects to the Shenzhen Bay Port is well placed to become a major modern logistics hub. The Government has launched open tenders for disposal of the first batch of two MSB sites in Hung Shui Kiu and Yuen Long Innopark. Subject to the tender outcome and the work plan of the successful bidder, we anticipate that the first batch of MSB(s) could be completed in 2028/2029 the earliest.

Lau Fau Shan/Tsim Bei Tsui/Pak Nai areas (collectively referred to as Lau Fau Shan or LFS)
Lau Fau Shan will be an extension of the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area (HSK/HT NDA). The extended NDA will be a major source of new economic and housing land in the westernmost area of the NM.
Given its proximity to and synergy with Qianhai, LFS will be positioned as a digital technology hub to complement the HSK/HT development, promoting integration of new and traditional economies and serving as an incubation base for young talents and start-ups.
With the natural beauty of Tsim Bei Tsui and Pak Nai in mind, these areas will be developed into eco tourism destinations for locals and tourists. We also propose to assess the potential of preserving the famous LFS seafood market at the existing location while enabling in-situ improvements to enhance its attractiveness as a tourist spot.
The extended HSK/HT NDA will also connect and enrich the existing Tin Shui Wai community by providing better access to job opportunities, housing choices, and recreational and community facilities.
The Development Bureau (DEVB) launched a three-month exercise on 2 April 2025 inviting the market to submit expression of interest (EOI) for three eco-tourism development proposals including those for Pak Nai and Tsim Bei Tsui. DEVB held briefing sessions for the EOI invitation on 14 April 2025. For details, please refer to the invitation for Pak Nai and Tsim Bei Tsui's EOI (click here), reply form (click here), slides for briefing session (click here), technical considerations for proposed eco-tourism (click here), historical background and ecological resources of Tsim Bei Tsui and Pak Nai (click here) and press release (click here).

Yuen Long South New Development Area (YLS NDA)
YLS NDA, adjacent to Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area, is the southern extension of Yuen Long New Town. It will be one of the main sources of future land supply for housing. We hope that through comprehensive planning and upgrading of infrastructure, the underutilised rural land and inefficient brownfields in the area will be transformed to more suitable uses to improve the environment.
The funding for the works for the First Phase Development and detailed design for the remaining phases was approved by the Legislative Council in June 2022. The site formation and infrastructure works for the First Phase Development commenced in August 2022, with the first population intake expected in 2029. In addition, an intensification review of the Third Phase Development is being conducted, including the possible expansion of the development area to cover adjacent rural land while not affecting the overall development programme.
Land is also reserved in YLS for multi-storey buildings for modern industries, some of which can be developed to facilitate the development of the modern logistics industry.
Yuen Long is a new town developed from a traditional market town, with an area of about 561 ha and a population of about 170 000. Residential development is the predominant land use, and there are different types of retail activities. Two industrial clusters in the form of Yuen Long InnoPark and Tung Tau Industrial Area are located to the north of the town centre, providing employment opportunities for the locals.
Tin Shui Wai is one of the third generation of New Towns with an area of about 406 ha and a population of about 278 000. It is mainly planned for residential use to provide a mix of private and public housing to meeting the demand for housing in Hong Kong. To the northeastern portion of the new town is the Hong Kong Wetland Park, which was opened to the public in 2006 and now becoming a world-class conservation, education and tourism facility.
