Harbour Place (Шаблон:Zh) is a private housing estate in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

History

Hunghom Peninsula

Formerly called Hunghom Peninsula (Шаблон:Zh) and built on the reclaimed land of Hung Hom Bay, it was an HOS estate comprising 2,470 flats completed by the Hong Kong government in 2002.[1]

Harbour Place

Since the government decided to suspend the scheme, Hunghom Peninsula was sold to Sun Hung Kai Properties and New World Development in February 2004.[2] In November 2004, the developers decided to demolish and rebuild the buildings.[3] The environmentalists, legislators and citizens were worried about the waste pollution and strongly opposed the plan.[4][5] One month later, due to public concerns, the developers decided not to demolish the buildings and renovate existing flats and upgrade facilities instead.[6] In 2008, the extensive renovation and refurbishment of what was once a public housing estate into a luxury residential complex was completed, the flats renamed to Harbour Place (Шаблон:Lang) and were sold to the public.[7]

Leung Chin-man appointment controversy

Шаблон:Main In August 2008, Leung Chin-man, former Permanent Secretary for Housing, Planning and Lands (Housing) and Director of Housing, joined New World China Land as executive director and vice-chairman of the company. This raised public concern on conflict of interest since Leung involved in the deal of Hung Hom Peninsula with New World China Land's parent company, New World Development, during his term of service.[8][9] The Government and Legislative Council also involved in investigating Leung's case.[10][11][12] One week later, New World China Land announced to terminate employment contract with Leung without any compensation.[13]
