As part of the Group’s commitment to balanced development, we assessed the potential impacts of our construction activities and operations by engaging external consultants for detailed environmental and biodiversity risk assessments before project commencement. The project has incorporated multi- dimensional sustainability measures to preserve ecological integrity. Planning, Design and Landscape The development’s stepped-height design, featuring lower coastal buildings and increased spacing, optimizes regional wind flow and ventilation. We prioritized preservation of high-value habitats, including mature woodlands, marshes and the Tai Tung Wo Liu stream. An Animal Translocation Plan was proposed for slope stabilization as part of the mitigation measures. Our large-scale transplantation of native trees and on-site conservation measures preserved around 30,000 square feet of natural forest and introduced more than 3,000 native trees across 187,000 m 2 of green space, with dedicated teams regularly monitoring tree stability and growth. To enhance biodiversity, we installed bird nest boxes creating breeding and roosting habitats, implemented wildlife-friendly fencing for habitat connectivity, and developed ecological ponds to enrich the ecosystem. Biodiversity Conservation in Sai Sha Development Project CASE STUDY Construction To avoid air and noise pollution, we replaced diesel-powered equipment with various types of electric construction machinery. During construction, we maintained an ecological buffer zone to prevent potential pollution. Temporary weirs were also built to protect aquatic life and the surrounding environment from silt-laden discharges during emergencies. The project has received BEAM Plus New Buildings Provisional Gold rating and WELL Community Standard™ pre-certification, establishing new sustainable community benchmarks in Sai Sha while advancing SHKP’s ESG principles and sustainable built environment commitments.
