LOHAS Park
LOHAS Park (Chinese: 日出康城) is a Hong Kong seaside private residential development of the MTR Corporation. Overlooking Junk Bay, it is located in Tseung Kwan O Area 86, New Territories.
Originally planned under the name "Dream City" when initial planning began in 2002, It was designated as an "environmental protection city" at that time, and the name was later changed to LOHAS (standing for "lifestyle of health and sustainability") following the 2003 SARS epidemic.
The Chinese name means "sunrise health city". The CLP power substation for Phase I 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 circulate the estate.
The 3,550,000 square feet (330,000 m2) estate is divided into 13 phases, composing of 50 high-rise residential towers, offering 21,500 apartments to accommodate 58,000 residents in the site area, which are to be completed before 2025. 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
Apart from residential development, LOHAS Park will also include 3 shopping malls upon completion, including a 480,000-square-foot iconic MTR mall named THE LOHAS, which opened in 2020, it will contain the largest indoor ice-skating rink in Hong Kong and the largest cinema in the whole Tseung Kwan O town. There will also be green area of 1,000,000 square feet, including a 200,000-square-foot central park named The Park with pet recreation facilities, icon building, waterfalls and lawns.
1.4 million sq ft (40% of the site area) of common area is with greenery: the common area includes a 200,000 sq ft (19,000 m2) park and a 330-metre seafront promenade. People and cars are segregated – pedestrians can walk to various facilities without having to cross a road since all the places are linked with covered walkways. The garden is watered by a 440,000-litre water-recycling system.
LOHAS Park, itself on land reclaimed from the sea, is surrounded by land reclaimed as landfill. The large piece of greenery immediately to the north of LOHAS Park is the recovered land from the old Tseung Kwan O Stage I landfill which closed in 1995. The large mountain slope on the eastern side of LOHAS Park is the old Tseung Kwan O Stage II/III landfill which closed in 1994. According to an MTR spokesman, the landfill can no longer be smelled since the collection of domestic waste was halted in 2014. These landfills should not be confused with the operating South East New Territories (SENT) Landfill which is about 1 km southeast of LOHAS Park. The SENT is commonly called the Tseung Kwan O landfill in the media. The SENT was expected to become full in the financial year 2014/2015, if the decision to extend its coverage area was not granted.
