“The amendment bill to the Compulsory Sale Regime was initiated in 2021 by the former Chief Executive Carrie Lam. While the market is looking forward to the bill that will be tabled to the LegCo for discussion by the end of the year, the Chief Executive John Lee also proposed to lower the thresholds for compulsory sale applications to speed up the pace of urban renewal in the latest Policy Address. According to the latest information, the Development Bureau will propose an amendment bill this year, to further lower the thresholds for compulsory sale applications in areas in urgent need for redevelopment, including Wan Chai, Cheung Sha Wan, Ma Tau Kok, Tsuen Wan, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, and Sai Ying Pun and Sheung Wan, a total of seven areas. Under the Outline Zoning Plan the subject property is situated in ‘Ma Tau Kok’ area with a building age of 68 years. Once the LegCo passes the bill to lower the thresholds by the end of this year, the new buyer, after purchasing 75% of the undivided shares of the property, will have met the new requirement of 65% and they shall be entitled to immediately apply for compulsory sale for redevelopment. It is expected that this project will be favored by market investors,” said Joseph Wong, Associate Director, Capital Markets, CBRE Hong Kong.
