Area Assessment The area (about 22.9 ha) involves 71 private industrial buildings, a religious institution, a hotel and some GIC facilities surrounded by residential developments. When compared with the findings of 2009 Area Assessments, the total industrial stock in the area has slightly increased from about 1.82 million m2 GFA to about 1.83 million m2 due to the completion of a new industrial building at 18-22 Lam Tin Street. In terms of height, 23 out of 71 buildings have 20 storeys or above. 41 buildings are 8-19 storeys high, and the remaining seven are 1-7 storeys high. In terms of condition, 55 buildings are in fair condition. Seven buildings are in good condition and the remaining nine are in poor condition. In terms of age, 54 buildings are 30 years old or above. 15 buildings are 15-29 years old and the remaining two are less than 15 years old. 53 buildings are under multiple ownership, while the remaining 18 are under single ownership. The updated overall vacancy of the area is about 5.7%, which is lower than the 7.4% identified in 2009. Such vacancy is also lower than the territorial figure of 6.0% for all “OU(B)” areas and the average of 6.5% for the five areas in Kwai Tsing/Tsuen Wan. About 1.2% of the units are divided into subunits, involving about 2.5% of the GFA. In terms of usage, Warehouse/Storage is still the largest user, taking up about 56.4% of the GFA which is higher than the 42.2% identified in 2009. Office is still the second largest user, occupying about 18.5% of the GFA which is lower than the 28.6% identified in 2009. Manufacturing/Workshop is the third largest user, accounting for about 6.6% of the GFA which is comparable to the 6.9% identified in 2009. The GFA for “Other Uses” takes up about 2.3% of the GFA. The major types of uses include data centre, research and development/testing centre and showroom, all of which constitute about 1.8% of the GFA. If taking into account the 71 industrial buildings in the subject “OU(B)” area and the five industrial buildings in the adjoining “R(E)” area together, the overall vacancy rate is about 5.0%. Warehouse/Storage is still the largest user, occupying about 59.3% of the GFA, followed by Office (about 17.1%), Manufacturing/Workshop (about 7.2%) and “Other Uses” (about 2.1%).
