     Carol Chow, Founder and Chairperson of Lofter, said this redevelopment project is situated near Lei Tung MTR Station and surrounded by parks on 3 sides of the site. Alvin Leung, Director of Investment Management of Lofter, said the subject site with a site area of approximately 4,000 sq ft is zoned as "Residential (Group A)" yielding a maximum gross floor area of approximately 35,000 sq ft.

With distinctive views on the three sides of the site, all residential units of the proposed development can enjoy stunning unobstructed panoramic sea view and greenery view. The retail podium will accommodate al fresco restaurants for diners to enjoy the premium environment." Chow said.
