Science Park

The Science Park (Figure 20) with an area of about 22 ha at Pak Shek Kok is planned to provide
accommodation to attract new technology-based firms and activities to Hong Kong so as to stimulate
the growth of locally-owned, technologically advanced businesses. It provides the environment,
form, structure and services to facilitate research and development activities, product innovation and
synergy. The land and premises within the Science Park are suited to the research and development
needs of local and international high-technology firms and activities. The Science Park is well-located
to contribute to the development of a high technology corridor linking Shenzhen and the Main Urban
Areas. The Science Park is being developed in phases. Phase 1 and Phase 2 were completed in 2004 and
2011 respectively. Phase 3 development commenced in 2011 and is now still under construction at its
final stage. The buildings therein are low to medium-rise (building height not more than 40 metres) with
extensive landscaping. A stepped height concept with decreasing building heights from Tolo Highway
to Tolo Harbour has been adopted in order to create an interesting building height profile. Ancillary and
supporting facilities such as restaurants, conference rooms, business centre and on-site staff quarters
are also provided in the Science Park.

There is a proposed residential institution cum ancillary office (InnoCell) development, which would
provide residential units with flexible design and ancillary facilities for leasing to staff of the incubatees
and start-ups in the Science Park. It is an important supporting infrastructure for the Science Park and
will help foster the development of the innovation and technology ecosystem in Hong Kong.
