The Hong Kong government has invited brownfield operators to tender for three plots of land in Kowloon and the New Territories under short-term leases, according to a 9 October 2026 press release from the Lands Department.
Operators who have been invited to participate in previous relevant short-term lease tenders twice or more after the completion of a government development clearing exercise will not be invited to this tender, the department said. The tender opened on 9 October and will close on 9 November.
Details of the three plots and the relevant government development projects are set out in a government notice published in the Gazette on 9 October. Under current arrangements, business operators affected by government development projects may receive statutory compensation or ex-gratia payments if they meet the relevant claim criteria.
A Lands Department spokesman said the department has been working to identify suitable vacant government land for short-term lease tenders to help brownfield operators relocate their businesses and make better use of land resources.
The three plots can be used for various purposes, including open-air storage, warehouses and workshops related to the construction industry, as well as other industrial uses, open-air storage, warehousing, workshops, recycling, and reprocessing businesses.
The spokesman emphasised that the Lands Department will continue to identify suitable vacant land for short-term lease tenders to enable brownfield operators to relocate their businesses.
