SYSTRA Hong Kong Won the Green Building Award for the Kwun Tong Composite Development Project

SYSTRA Hong Kong Drives Smarter, Greener Mobility for Kwun Tong’s Landmark Redevelopment

Amid the wave of redevelopment in the old Kwun Tong’s district in the past years, a new landmark blending intelligence and sustainability is on the horizon! This integrated development project embraces the “single site, multiple uses” planning concept, creating an open, flexible, and inclusive community space covering an area approximately 64,500 square meters of Gross Floor Area. It is scheduled for phased completion between 2027 and 2028.

The project features two main buildings:

A 25-storey High Block creating a hub for Civil Services Units including the Civil Service College, Dental Clinics, Staff Training Facilities of Social Welfare Department.

A 9-storey Low Block providing a District Health Centre, Shine Skills Development Centre, Art Gallery, and various Training Venues to serve diverse community needs.

The buildings have achieved the prestigious BEAM Platinum certification, distinguished by an interlocking atrium that challenges conventional office and training facility typologies. Environmental sustainability is embedded in the construction process through the integration of MiC and MiMEP methodologies, the use of GGBS concrete, and the extensive application of precast beams and slabs.

SYSTRA Hong Kong provided specialised traffic consultancy services to support the project, including construction considerations, seamless connectivity, green mobility, and the Public Transport Interchange hub.

Construction Considerations
Located in the bustling Kwun Tong area with significant traffic demands, the subject site’s construction prioritizes minimizing disruption to the surrounding community. To maintain convenient pedestrian access and uninterrupted public transport services, comprehensive temporary traffic management schemes were implemented throughout the construction process.

Seamless Connectivity, Green Mobility
An elevated walkway will be provided on podium level to form a comprehensive pedestrian network to enhance the connectivity in the area. The pedestrian walkway will connect the surrounding areas, including the MTR Kwun Tong Station in the west, the footbridges crossing Tsui Ping Road and Kwun Tong Road in the east and the PTI on ground level.

Public Transport Interchange
A new bus terminus will be provided on the ground level of the development. The new bus terminus will adopt a central island type saw-tooth design with the passenger waiting area in the central island and bus bays around it, which improves safety by minimizing conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. The passenger waiting area will be covered, providing a better waiting environment and convenience for passengers.
