The hub, planned for the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area, will cover over 30 hectares and focus on high-value goods, e-commerce, and the low-altitude economy. Authorities intend to attract leading logistics firms through incentives like land grants and premium concessions. The cluster will be divided into five zones catering to different logistics needs, with land acquisition underway and sites expected to be ready between 2027 and 2032. The initiative aims to align with national development goals and provide a platform for large-scale logistics development.
