In fact, the Fanling North project is well served by transportation facilities and the transportation network system in New Territories North will be mainly by rail. At present, it only takes 35 minutes to reach MTR Hung Hom Station from MTR Tin Fan Station or MTR Sheung Shui Station via MTR East Rail Line.
From the MTR Sheung Shui Station to Shenzhen, the station directly to Lok Ma Chau or Lo Wu; take the Sha Tau Kok Express Line to reach Sha Tau Kok and the mainland Liantang or Yantian District area. The planning of the MTR North Link will be completed in two phases, and set up four additional stations to connect to the East-West Railway. When the whole line is open to traffic, the railroad system will connect the entire New Territories.
In terms of landscape, it is expected that many of the project's units will enjoy the distant hills and countryside to the north; to the south, the units focus on the urban landscape of the area.
In fact, the Northern Metro Area covers 30,000 hectares and uses innovation and technology as the economic engine to create a new international innovation and technology hub. The Hong Kong-Shenzhen Science Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop, to be developed by the governments of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, is an important infrastructure for Hong Kong's high-tech industry, with a focus on high-tech R&D, higher education and cultural and creative industry development.
With a total area three times larger than the Hong Kong Science Park, it is the largest platform for scientific creation in Hong Kong. It is expected to be completed in phases starting from 2024.
As for the other five major projects in the same sector, they will also follow the successive launches. The whole project is planned like a new city in scale and layout, linking up with the whole northern metropolitan area and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation Zone.
In his 2022 Policy Address, Chief Executive Lee said that the current government would press ahead with the development of the Northern Metropolitan Region. A number of large-scale development projects have been launched in the region, which will increase the number of projects at different stages, speed up, improve efficiency and quality, and greatly shorten the time from "raw land" to "ready land" for large-scale projects, from the past ten years.
At the same time, we will continue to promote the construction of other railroads in the "Northern Metropolitan Area" and plan a number of highlight facilities that will drive development and improve the quality of life, including cultural facilities, colleges and universities, large sports facilities, hospital networks, government facilities, etc.
Government offices located in the core business district without specific geographic requirements, such as nearly 40% of the floor space of the Queensway Government Offices, will be relocated to the northern metropolitan area to spur regional development and free up land in the core business district.
If this is the case, it will significantly increase the demand for housing in the northern metro area, raising the potential value of investment in properties in the area.
