Nan Fung Development has envisioned co-sharing offices with its commercial site in the Kai Tak area, which promises to be a unique selling point in the city's next central business district, and something which is currently not on offer in Central.
     "Together with nearby cultural and leisure facilities under construction, the whole area will attract start-ups and creative enterprises," said Donald Choi, Managing Director of Nan Fung Development.
     "The fast growth of co-sharing offices has already become a global trend. But our new project in Kai Tak will go further than this concept," said Choi, who started his career as an architect.
     "In future, people will just switch on their computers and begin working in the Kai Tak shopping mall's coffee shop, pubs or open spaces once they come in," he said. "They can also work while sitting on the grassland besides the river."
     On the island, a high-end villas project at Plantation Road is developed by Wheelock Properties. The Plantation Road project includes twenty villas and targets to meet the stringent Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method (HK-BEAM) Gold standard upon completion.
     The main contract of the project, valued at $800 million was awarded to Gammon. The project has commenced work in September 2017 and is scheduled for completion in 2020.
