As one of the batches of transitional housing projects adopting the Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) method, Ying Wa Street project will provide two housing blocks of four storeys upon completion. MiC method shortens construction time and reduces the number of on-site workers. At the construction stage, the contractor will also introduce a number of robotics technologies so as to enhance the precision and safety of the works.

*Note: 1. The operating organisation may from time to time update or change the information of the project, including the eligibility criteria for application, rent level and related services. For latest information of the project, please visit the project website or contact the operating organisation. 2. All map coordinates are indicative only and do not reflect the exact locations. 3. According to the Outline Zoning Plan (OZP), the site is not zoned for “residential” use. Residential development at the site is prohibited unless permitted under the relevant statutory plan or covered by a planning permission granted by the Town Planning Board (TPB). At its meeting on 26 November 2018, TPB agreed that transitional housing for a period of five years or less and co-ordinated by the Task Force under the Transport and Housing Bureau in permanent buildings in the urban and new town areas can be regarded as for temporary use, which is always permitted under the OZP and for which planning permission is not required. |
