Excellent update ! (... and long overdue).
The progress on Hanoi Road is significant. Hard to tell about US7.

新世界中心重建酒店惟租戶拒遷，限期延至明年農曆新年後

《經濟通專訊》據《太陽報》報道，新世界發展（００１７）擬將旗下尖沙咀新世界中心東翼重建為樓高５０至６０層的酒店計劃重新啟動，惟商廈租戶拒遷，市場人士估計有關限期延至明年農曆新年後。據悉，發展商上周四（１８日）去信租戶，叮囑租戶明年二月前遷出。


報道引述發言人承認，曾去信新世界中心東翼一批租戶，但因不少租戶希望新世界可延遲收樓行動，故已陸續收回信件。不過，發言人強調有關計劃已籌備多時。至於，酒店項目的詳細計劃及時間表方面，則尚未有定案。

據資料顯示，新世界於數年前已計劃於新世界中心東翼及附近位置重建酒店，並向政府支付３至５億元補地價，酒店落成後將提供約５００個房間。（ｋｌ）

The news said that the redevelopment of New World Center where in TST will restart in next year . The new hotel will have 50 -60 floor ^^

Good to know.
This project was in the limbo.

This one would be so prominet from the waterfront of the HK island that it has to be distinctive.
I hope it won't mimic the bland style of New World Center.

There used to be.
But it was removed when the international airport moved to the Lantau Island (I think that was in 1998).

But I remember a concept by HK government that doesnt allow tall buildings located directly at the harbor anymore. There were special highrise zones like West Kowloon afair.

They probably don't want to increase the density again.
The mega hotel in Wanchai may be the first victim of this policy.

Any news on that one btw ?

Hard to say if US7 is progressing.

That will not help the skyline of Kowloon Bay.

That's crazy. How - or more importantly why - do they have parking on the top levels?

To attract people to upper levels. The developer says that only 3 loops would be sufficient to drive up to upper levels.

The Mega Box is going to be a 19 story mall? Only in HK.
