Wei Zhicheng retorted the construction of the Jianjian Jiaxian Street project
The Urban Renewal Authority (hereinafter referred to as the URA) Redevelopment of the Peel Street/Graham Street in Central (hereinafter referred to as the Graham Street Project) is divided into three sites. Since 2005, planning and design and preliminary preparation have been carried out. It has been 14 years since then. Some local people have recently asked the Government to re-rate the pre-war building of Grade A to C at 26 Graham Street. It is also said that the URA has not yet completed the completion of the project and it is a “stealing”. It emphasizes that the URA respects the procedures, mechanisms and contractual spirit, and criticizes that the concern of the group is unfair.
Strictly observe the city regulations and building development procedures
The entire section of the Graham Street project is divided into three sites. The above-mentioned Grade A to C Tang Building, 26 Graham Street, is located within the site of Site C, which was acquired by Wing Tai Real Estate (00369) and Capital Strategy Property (00497) in 2017. Wei Zhicheng published a blog with a length of about 3,700 words on Sunday (19th). The URA was approved by the Town Planning Board to approve the master plan development blueprint in May 2007. It plans to revitalise A to C at 26 Graham Street for commercial use. However, it was later found that the buildings in the buildings were in very poor condition. Some of the slabs had even collapsed and disappeared. They had to be supported by temporary iron frames. Therefore, the URA suggested to retain the design of the buildings facing the façade of Graham Street. Change the building behind the face.
Wei Zhicheng pointed out that Site C is carrying out foundation works. It is expected that the entire project will be completed in 2023-24. It is emphasized that the URA has been carrying out the project in strict accordance with the urban planning and building development procedures, and regularly reports to the public through the meetings of the Central and Western District Councils. Progress should not be rushed to overthrow the project because of the alternative opinions that emerged after the project was implemented for some time.
He admits that if the above three Tang House conservation schemes are revised at this time, it will affect the construction layout and design of Site C, involving the approved master plan blueprint, the land leases granted by the government, and the cooperative development agreement signed with the developers. “It is equivalent to re-running the entire statutory planning and consulting process.” Wei Zhicheng stressed that the URA must respect the spirit of the contract, otherwise the integrity of the bureau and the established procedures and mechanisms will be greatly damaged.
