The Urban Renewal Authority has invited real estate developers to submit an expression of interest for the implementation of the Macpherson Indoor Stadium redevelopment project in Mongkok. A total of 3 tender offers have been received for the joint venture development of the Macpherson Indoor Stadium in Mong Kok.

     The project covers a site area of about 26,000 sq ft. Upon completion, the project will deliver a new and modern indoor stadium and a youth centre, in addition to about 206,000 sq ft of residential and commercial floor area. Not only serving as a venue of international standard for sporting competitions, the four-storey indoor stadium, equipped with first-class acoustic facilities, can also be used for staging a variety of musical and cultural performances.

     The URA has commissioned an environmental consultant to carry out an air ventilation assessment of the Macpherson Indoor Stadium project and to advise on the impact of project design on the wind environment in accordance with the Government’s guidelines on air ventilation. The findings of the assessment indicates that the demolition of the current youth centre building for a public open space at the southern end of the project will help improve air ventilation.
     Between the future indoor stadium complex and the residential development, a podium garden is proposed which will help channeling air movement. The roofline of the indoor stadium is proposed to be streamlined to further facilitate airflow. The air ventilation condition in the surrounding areas will not deteriorate while conditions at the boundary of the site will improve upon completion of the project.
