Hong Kong unveils 2025-26 land sale plan

This includes eight residential sites.

The government has announced its 2025-26 Land Sale Programme, featuring eight residential sites capable of yielding around 4,450 flats.

Development Secretary Bernadette Linn said total private housing land supply for the year, including government land sales, MTR projects, Urban Renewal Authority developments, and private redevelopments, is expected to reach 13,700 flats—meeting the government’s target of 13,200 flats set in its Long Term Housing Strategy Annual Progress Report 2024.

No commercial sites are included due to high office vacancy rates and sufficient supply in the coming years.

The government has designated three pilot areas—Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen, Fanling North, and the San Tin Technopole—for large-scale industrial land disposal, covering residential, industrial, and public facilities. An expressions of interest exercise runs until March, with tenders set to start in the second half of 2025.

The first site for tender, in Tuen Mun, will be launched between April and June, offering around 525 flats.

Linn said the government will release land strategically based on market conditions and may add sites as needed.
