Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) has appointed CBRE as the lead consultant for the business, operation and investment models of the HKSTP San Tin Technopole Campus.

As a component of the Northern Metropolis initiative, the expansive San Tin Technopole—spanning more than 600 hectares—will allocate approximately half of its land for innovation and technology (I&T) purposes. This will provide around 7 million square meters of gross floor area dedicated to research and development, prototyping, pilot testing, and advanced manufacturing. The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) will lead a project within the San Tin Technopole, developing 20 hectares of newly designated innovation and technology (I&T) land, with construction scheduled to commence in 2027. As outlined in the 2024 Policy Address, the government plans to release around 20 hectares of new I&T sites in phases beginning in 2026–27 to support HKSTP’s development and operations.

Strategically positioned to complement Shenzhen’s innovation and technology zones in Huanggang and Futian, the development aims to create a collaborative innovation hub. It is envisioned as a comprehensive I&T ecosystem that will drive growth across key sectors, including artificial intelligence and data science, life and health technologies, new materials and energy, microelectronics, and advanced manufacturing. CBRE will be inviting property developers and consortia to submit their Interest to Participate (ITP) in the project, with the submission deadline set for noon on June 21, 2025.
