It is expected that each project will provide a total of about 4,800 residences.
In 2019, the MTR was involved in government disturbances due to its handling of demonstrations. The equipment at several stations was damaged by protesters. The recent ticket checking method has also attracted controversy.
MTR Chairman Ouyang Boquan said at the meeting that he would study different ways to pursue the damage to the equipment, including civil litigation and criminal proceedings.

Regarding the second phase of the South Coast project on Hong Kong Island, Ouyang Boquan stated that it will start the sale after obtaining the pre-sale consent. Last month, in response to the government's housing strategy, the tender for the Phase 6 project on the South Coast of Hong Kong Island was approved; "Phase 3" is expected to go on sale in the short term.
He also said that retail sales in Hong Kong are expected to remain sluggish in the short term, and it is believed that MTR rental income will still be affected.
MTR Property and International Business Director Tang Zhihui said that the Siu Ho Wan property project is progressing well and has entered the pre-design stage. The first phase of tender will be in 2024 at the earliest.
