Invitation for Interest to Participate for Development of the HKSTP San Tin Technopole

HONG KONG, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CBRE has been appointed by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) as the lead consultant for the business, operation and investment models of the HKSTP San Tin Technopole (working title). CBRE will invite interested property developers and consortia to submit its Interest to Participate (ITP) for the development. The deadline for ITP submissions is set for 12:00 noon, June 21, 2025.

As part of the Northern Metropolis development, the broader San Tin Technopole, encompassing over 600 hectares, will have half of its area to be designed for innovation and technology (I&T) use. This translates into 7 million sq.m. of gross floor area for research & development, prototyping, pilot testing, and advanced manufacturing.

The project led by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) at the San Tin Technopole, will be developed on 20 hectares of government-granted land, with construction set to begin in 2027. As outlined in the 2024 Policy Address, the government aims to deliver approximately 20 hectares of new innovation and technology (I&T) sites in phases, starting from 2026–27, for HKSTP's development and operation.

Strategically located near Shenzhen, the development is designed to complement Shenzhen's I&T zones in Huanggang and Futian, forming a synergistic innovation hub. It will become a comprehensive I&T ecosystem, catalysing growth in sectors such as AI and data science, life and health tech, new material/energy, microelectronics/electronics and advanced manufacturing.

Hannah Jeong, Executive Director, Valuation and Advisory Services, CBRE Hong Kong said: "While the entire San Tin Technopole is envisioned as a major driver of Hong Kong's new industrialisation and a second economic engine in the North complementing the established financial engine in the South (CBDs), this development represents a rare opportunity to shape a world-class innovation powerhouse, particularly for artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, biotech, and green tech. We are laying the foundation for a new era of industrialisation, offering space and infrastructure for R&D, prototyping, and pilot production."

Hannah added: "This is not just a development—it's a bold vision for the future of innovation. Backed by HKSTP's proven track record, the development is poised to become a dynamic I&T ecosystem and a global launchpad for innovation, especially in today's fast-evolving, AI-driven era. Leveraging CBRE's extensive client network, deep expertise in commercial real estate and land advisory, and its regulatory credentials—including SFC Type 1 and Type 4 licenses, as well as an EAA license—we are excited to support private investors and developers in exploring the tremendous opportunities this project offers. We invite them to share their perspectives in shaping a win-win public-private partnership model, with strong potential for attractive investment returns and long-term capital appreciation."
