The Chairperson pointed out that a fatal traffic accident happened at CWB last week. She asked about the causes and investigation progress and whether the accident took place because of the design of the bypass. 17. Ms Lydia LEE of AECOM responded as follows: i. The road improvement works at Hing Fat Street were expected to be completed in late September this year. The construction site near Watson Road and Hing Fat Street would be handed over to the relevant government departments in 2020. She would report the progress to DC in due course. ii. The fatal traffic accident happened last week at CWB was unrelated to the design of CWB. According to her understanding, the accident was induced by the driver’s sudden loss of consciousness, causing the vehicle to run out of control and hit against the concrete barrier. 18. The Chairperson enquired about the resumption date of the waterworks at Fenwick Street (PWP No. 043WA Category A). She hoped that the Water Supplies Department (WSD) could speed up the work progress. 19. Mr To Chi-hung of WSD responded that the connection works of gas pipes at the main laying works site at Fenwick Street by the Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) were in progress. Such works were expected to be completed in August, thus the progress of the water mains laying works would be slightly delayed. However, WSD would urge the contractor to accelerate the work progress. The waterworks were expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2020. 20. The Chairperson asked the Department concerned to maintain close liaison with the Council and report on the work progress on a regular basis. 21. Dr Jennifer CHOW asked whether HyD would report to the Council on the air quality monitoring data after the operation of the air purification system at the East Ventilation Building of CWB resumed.

  • Redevelopment of the Excelsior, Hong Kong
    To: Business Editor For immediate release This announcement contains Inside Information. REDEVELOPMENT OF THE EXCELSIOR, HONG KONG 9th October 2018 – Mandarin Oriental International Limited today announces that The Excelsior, Hong Kong will close on 31st March 2019 in order for Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group (the ‘Group’) to redevelop the site. The hotel is situated on a prime commercial waterfront site in the Causeway Bay district of Hong Kong where the Group has approval for the development of a mixed-use commercial building with a Gross Floor Area of some 63,500 sqm. The decision to close the hotel, which opened in 1973, comes after having completed a detailed review of the long-term strategic options for the site, announced by the Group in June 2017. The decision reflects strong commercial property values in Hong Kong and the expected higher yield associated with a commercial building at a time when the hotel requires significant investment. The wholly-owned Excelsior hotel is a material contributor to Group earnings and cash flows and houses the Group’s corporate office. Adjusting the Group’s reported results for 2016 and 2017, and the first half of 2018 to exclude the contribution of The Excelsior, and include an estimated incremental head office rent cost, generates the following pro forma results1: 2016 2016 2017 2017 H1 2018 H1 2018 Reported Pro Forma Reported Pro Forma Reported Pro Forma US$m (Audited) (Unaudited) (Audited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Revenue* 1,323.7 1,245.2 1,380.4 1,298.2 700.2 660.0 Underlying EBITDA 158.2 126.2 157.9 122.9 79.6 63.6 Underlying Profit 57.3 34.4 54.9 29.8 22.3 11.4 Net impact to cash (19.3) (21.6) (15.1) * Total revenue from owned & managed hotels 1 The Pro Forma numbers presented have not been audited and are shown for illustrative purposes only.
