Hong Kong's Development Bureau announced on Wednesday plans to launch a tender in the first half of 2027 for the first marina in nearly 40 years, revamping a 1.16-hectare seaside site near Po Chong Wan in Aberdeen. The project will offer about 200 berths and include a yacht clubhouse with 250 flats.
Hong Kong's Development Bureau said on Wednesday it aims to launch a tender in the first half of 2027 for a marina—the first in nearly 40 years—noting strong market interest in the project. To clear the 1.16-hectare (2.8-acre) seaside site near Po Chong Wan in Aberdeen, the government plans to uproot a sailing programme provider and terminate 91 short-term leases held mostly by ship machinery and shipbuilding businesses. According to a paper submitted to the Southern District Council, the harbourfront site will deliver about 499,450 sq ft of gross floor area designated for a yacht clubhouse with basic repair facilities, catering and retail outlets, and 250 flats. The development will provide about 200 berths for yachts at most 50 metres (164 feet) long and mooring spaces across about 11 hectares of water.
