 Hang Lung’s relationship with Kowloon Bay dates back to 1976, when it jointly developed
Telford Gardens with the Mass Transit Railway (“MTR”) Corporation and Hopewell Holdings.
Completed in 1980, Telford Gardens was Hong Kong’s first MTR-integrated residential
development, built at a time when Kowloon Bay was still largely an industrial district.
Amoy Gardens and Amoy Plaza followed in 1981, contributing to the area’s gradual
transformation into a vibrant residential and commercial neighborhood. In 2024, 
THE APERTURE was completed as the Company’s newest addition to the precinct.

 Conceived in support of the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Energizing Kowloon East 
initiative first outlined in the 2011 Policy Address, the Amoy Footbridge represents
one of the pioneering examples of public-private collaboration to improve district-
level connectivity. With the inauguration of the Footbridge, district-level mobility
and integration have been further strengthened, reflecting Hang Lung’s confidence
in the long-term development of Kowloon East as a dynamic hub for business, culture
and community.

 **Mr. Adriel Chan, Chair of Hang Lung Properties**, said, “For 50 years, Hang Lung
has grown alongside Kowloon Bay, standing with the local residents through times
of both challenge and recovery. During the 2003 SARS outbreak, our frontline colleagues
provided steadfast support to local residents, and in its aftermath, we launched
the pioneering consumption voucher initiative to help revitalize the area. These
efforts reflect our belief that business development and community well-being go
hand in hand. As Hang Lung celebrates its 66th anniversary, we are proud to dedicate
the Amoy Footbridge to Kowloon Bay as a gesture of appreciation to the neighborhoods
that have been part of our journey, reaffirming our commitment to creating compelling
spaces that enrich lives.”

and students. The increased pedestrian flow is expected to strengthen connections
to the second floor of the mall, creating opportunities to refresh the tenant mix
