The Secretary for Development, Ms Bernadette Linn, today (February 27) announced the Government's 2026-27 Land Sale List.

     The 2026-27 Land Sale List covers nine residential sites, capable of providing about 6 650 flats, including three residential sites in the pilot area under large-scale land disposal in Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area in the Northern Metropolis, and the tender invitation will close on July 3, 2026.
 
     Apart from sites rolled out by the Government, for railway development and transit-oriented development, projects expected to launch/complete tender in 2026-27 include MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL)'s Tuen Mun A16 Station (Package 2) development project and the residential site earmarked for transit-oriented development for the Smart and Green Mass Transit System in Kai Tak. These two projects are expected to provide a total of about 6 810 flats. In addition, the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) plans to take forward its projects at To Kwa Wan Road/Wing Kwong Street and Bailey Street, Kowloon City, providing about 2 120 flats in total. As for private development/redevelopment projects, with reference to the figures in the past decade, the supply in the next financial year is estimated to be 7 000 flats.

     Taking into account the estimated land supply from all sources, the private housing land supply in 2026-27 is estimated to have a capacity to produce about 22 580 flats. Amongst them, over 15 000 flats (around 70 per cent) are projects led by and co-ordinated by the Government. For the next five years, the Government will make available land for the production of about 98 000 private housing units. The Government will continue to play a co-ordination role and adjust the pace of disposal and other land supply sources. The Government will also continue to announce disposal arrangements on a quarterly basis in a pragmatic and paced manner after careful consideration of market conditions and other relevant factors.

     As regards commercial sites, the 2026-27 Budget announced that, in view of the vacancy rate in the non-residential property market, the supply and demand, the Government will not put up general commercial sites for sale in the coming year. That notwithstanding, the Government will continuously review the use of commercial sites for residential or other more flexible uses. For example, the Development Bureau has earlier invited the market to submit expressions of interest for post-secondary student hostel development on three sites originally intended for commercial use, and will put up one or more of these sites in the coming year subject to market response.  

     As for industrial floor space, the aforementioned tender for the pilot area under large-scale land disposal in Hung Shui Kiu / Ha Tsuen New Development Area includes three Enterprise and Technology Park sites, supplying about 280 000 square metres of industry floor area.

     Reviewing the private housing land supply in 2025-26, the Government sold all five residential sites rolled out in this financial year and have a total capacity to produce about 2 555 flats. Taking into account other sources of land supply, including railway development projects (2 570 flats), projects of the URA (990 flats) and private development/redevelopment projects (including 8 990 flats and 1 405 flats from projects requiring and not requiring lease modification respectively), the aggregate private housing land supply in 2025-26 is estimated to have a capacity to produce about 16 510 flats, exceeding the annual supply target (13 200 flats) by around 25 per cent.  
      
     For the first quarter of 2026-27, i.e. April to June 2026, the Government will put up for tender a residential site in Tung Chung, which is capable of producing about 990 flats. Ms Linn said that the site sits on a harbourfront location and will be served by the future Tung Chung East Station, which would be attractive to the market. The MTRCL is also considering to put up for tender its development project at Tuen Mun A16 Station (Package 2) during the quarter, providing about 5 510 flats. In addition, for private development/redevelopment projects, one lease modification case is expected to be executed in the first quarter, capable of providing about 175 flats. Assuming the above project from the MTRCL will be rolled out in the first quarter, total supply from various sources is expected to be about 6 675 flats.

    The Government will continue to make reference to market situation and other supply sources, so as to announce the Land Sale Programme on a quarterly basis. Depending on the market situation, the Government may also put up additional sites to respond to market changes.

     The 2026-27 Land Sale List can be found on the Lands Department's website (www.landsd.gov.hk).
