SHKP Quarterly

The Group won a site above MTR Nam Cheong Station on the West Rail Line in 2011 for joint development, with the residential Cullinan West Development and a mall now taking shape. The project is notable among private developments in South West Kowloon 1 for its grand scale and is set to be a local landmark with glass curtain walls offering expansive sea views 2 . Cullinan West Development above two rail lines at MTR Nam Cheong Station Topping out of Cullinan West, phase 2A of the development, is expected by the end of the year. There will be approximately 838,500 square feet of gross residential floor area in two towers and five low-rise blocks, containing 1,050 units from studios to four-bedroom apartments appealing to different kinds of buyers. There will be two clubhouses 3 in two phases, covering over 180,000 square feet including communal gardens and play areas. The first clubhouse will be Club Brio 3 . Cullinan West has been planned with the buildings in a line to give the units open views 2 (some even looking out over the sea 2 ). The estimated material date for Cullinan West is 30 November 2018 4 . Heart of the city’s rail network The development will offer immense transport convenience to other areas including the city’s commercial cores, as MTR Nam Cheong Station is the only interchange for the Tung Chung Line and West Rail Line. It only takes about nine minutes to MTR Hong Kong Station or about six minutes to MTR Kowloon Station by MTR 5 . Globetrotting professionals will be pleased to reach Hong Kong International Airport in about 28 minutes 5 or MTR Austin Station in about four minutes 5 – which will be an advantage when MTR Austin Station and MTR Kowloon Station are connected by footbridges and subways to the future terminus of the Hong Kong Section of the Express Rail Link 6 providing access to the national high-speed rail network to 16 major mainland cities 6 . A nearby bus terminal adds to the transport ease. The Government will construct the Central Kowloon Route, which will reduce the journey time from West Kowloon to Kowloon Bay from 30 minutes to 5 minutes during rush hours upon commissioning 7 . Group Deputy Managing Director Victor Lui said: “The development is at a prime location with a rare scale and positioning for the area. The residences will have direct all-weather access to the MTR Nam Cheong Station and the plus of sea views 2 , making up a quality living environment.” Setting local style The Nam Cheong Station development has a mall set to open by the end of 2018 8 offering Cullinan West residents all the convenience of city life with a variety of shops, dining and leisure options over some 298,000 square feet of gross floor area 9 . It will be a bellwether of style introducing refreshing consumer options to the district and easily accessible by MTR with a direct connection to MTR Nam Cheong Station. The new mall will also add to the Group’s retail portfolio along MTR lines, joining ifc Mall above MTR Hong Kong Station and New Town Plaza in Sha Tin in bringing vibrancy to the area. 專題故事 Vol 83 • Q1 2017 • SHKP Quarterly 4
