CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
主席的話
Although our Integrated Redevelopment Model includes all of our
housing estates, those that will not be redeveloped within the next
20 years will have their useful life extended for as long as possible.
This will be done primarily by adding new facilities, such as transfer
lifts or escalators, and improving the facilities and open areas so that
the tenants can continue to enjoy a safe and happy living environment.
Facilitating Home Ownership
The first project under our Subsidised Sale Flats (SSF) scheme,
Greenview Villa in Tsing Yi, was launched for pre-sale in 2012 with
tremendous response for its 988 ‘practical but not extravagant’ flats.
The project was completed on time and the units were handed over
to the buyers in July 2015.
In 2015, we also began foundation works on another SSF project,
Greenhill Villa in Sha Tin. Pre-sale of the project as of February 2016
was encouraging and over 52,000 applications were received for the
1,020 flats of the project as well as 2,657 new Home Ownership
Scheme flats of the Hong Kong Housing Authority under a joint
application exercise. Flat selection commenced in July 2016.
Recognising the strong demand for this type of housing, Government
has granted to us more sites for SSF projects, including one in
Tseung Kwan O and another in Tuen Mun, as announced in the 2015
Policy Address. Construction works on these sites, which will bring
a total of 620 subsidised sale flats to the market, commenced in
mid-2016.
Vision for the Future
Following the handover of the Integrated Building Maintenance
Assistance Scheme to the Urban Renewal Authority, our role in
building maintenance will gradually phase out. In the year ahead,
we will be entering a new phase of construction that we expect will
keep us fully occupied as we develop or redevelop housing projects
for the people of Hong Kong.
As we undertake these projects, we will continue to face risks and
challenges such as the vagaries of the property market. Even though
our resources are limited and we are self-financed, we have been able
to contain these risks as we have an established corporate governance
structure and Enterprise Risk Management system in place. And most
important of all, we have adopted a prudent approach in managing
our finances.
雖然「綜合重建模式」包括所有房協屋邨，
但對於二十年內仍未重建的屋邨，房協將
以其他方式延長其壽命，包括增設轉乘
升降機及扶手電梯等設施，以及改善現有
設施及公共空間，令住戶可以繼續享受
安全愉快的居住環境。
協助市民置業
資助出售房屋計劃第一個項目青衣「綠悠
雅苑」於二零一二年推出預售，提供
988
個
「實而不華」的單位，市場反應熱烈。該項
目按時完工，並於二零一五年七月交樓給
買家。
至於另一個位於沙田的資助出售房屋項目
「綠怡雅苑」，地基工程已於二零一五年展
開。
1,020
個單位聯同香港房屋委員會的
2,657
個新居屋單位一併於二零一六年二月
推出預售，收到超過
52,000
份申請，令人
鼓舞，揀樓程序於二零一六年七月展開。
政府注意到市場對這類房屋的需求龐大，
在二零一五年的施政報告宣布向房協批出
更多土地作此用途，包括位於將軍澳及
屯門的兩幅地皮。這兩個項目在二零一六
年中開始動工，將為市場提供合共
620
個
資助出售單位。
展望未來
繼「樓宇維修綜合支援計劃」正式移交市區
重建局後，房協已逐步淡出在樓宇維修的
角色。來年，我們的建築工程將進入新
的階段，全力為香港市民興建或重建房屋
項目。
當進行這些項目時，我們仍然要面對樓市
不穩等各項風險及挑戰。雖然我們的資源
有限，並須自負盈虧，但憑著穩固的企業
管治架構及企業風險管理系統，得以成功
管控風險，而最重要的是我們奉行審慎的
理財方針。
