Located in the heart of the Northern Metropolis and spanning 190 hectares, the San Tin / Lok Ma Chau Development Node represents a forward-thinking approach to urban development, aligning with Hong Kong’s broader goals of sustainability and technological innovation. The project will integrate housing, commercial and infrastructure developments to foster a thriving community, harmonizing modern living with nature and culture while aligning with Hong Kong’s vision for urban-rural integration and nature-positive development. As part of this contract, AtkinsRéalis will provide integrated design, site supervision and multidisciplinary services to enhance efficiency and improve the overall quality of the project.

“We are excited to be part of this transformative project, contributing to Hong Kong’s vision of being a global leader in smart, sustainable urban development. AtkinsRéalis has long supported the government in the city’s growth, maintaining the highest standards in building greener, smarter and more connected infrastructure for urban living. By integrating our end-to-end expertise with digital solutions, we are not only enhancing the way cities are built and managed today but also shaping the future of urban infrastructure in Hong Kong,” said Wing Law, Chief Executive Officer, Asia, AtkinsRéalis.

The development is focused on sustainable, digital-first solutions adopted, including advanced technologies like digital twins and AI to optimize planning and construction processes, ensuring the development is environmentally friendly and efficient. Aligning with Hong Kong’s “Smart City Blueprint 2.0” and its “Climate Action Plan 2050”, AtkinsRéalis is also leveraging advanced technologies to enhance efficiency and sustainability in the San Tin Technopole. A Unified Single Digital Twin Platform will be implemented, integrating construction data into a smart system using BIM technology, creating a real-time “digital twin” of the site to enhance visualisation of the whole project.
