LOHAS Park
LOHAS Park (Chinese: 日出康城; Cantonese Yale: Yahtchēut Hōngsìhng) is a mass residential development of the MTR Corporation, situated in Tseung Kwan O Area 86, New Territories, Hong Kong. When complete, it will be the largest single residential estate in the territory.
Formerly named "Dream City", it was renamed LOHAS Park. LOHAS is an acronym for "lifestyle of health and sustainability". The Chinese name means "sunrise health city". In fact, the CLP power substation for Phase I The Capitol (Chinese: 首都; Cantonese Yale: Sáudōu) retains the original name "Dream City Power Substation".
The MTR designated LOHAS Park an 'environmental protection city' when planning began in 2002. After the SARS epidemic in early 2003, the element of 'health' was incorporated. Following controversy over "wall effect" buildings in 2007, the developers promised there will be sufficient space to allow wind to blow through the estate. LOHAS Park was built at the east of the reclaimed land near the Tseung Kwan O landfill. According to an MTR spokesman, there is also an operational landfill about 1 km from development, and it is hoped that the problem of smell could be mitigated by town planning.
The 3,550,000 square feet (330,000 m2) estate will comprise fifty residential towers, offering 21,500 apartments to accommodate 58,000 residents in the site area. These will sit above the MTR LOHAS Park Station. The gross floor area (GFA) for domestic purposes is up to 1.6 million square metres, and retail GFA will occupy up to 50,000 m2
