Ta Kwu Ling University Town Set to Double in Size to 75 Hectares, HKAPA Campus Included

The Development Bureau has proposed nearly doubling the campus area of Ta Kwu Ling University Town from 40 to 75 hectares, with about seven hectares reserved for a second campus of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts [1][2]. The expanded development is part of a 250-hectare priority development zone within the Northern Metropolis megaproject near the border with mainland China [1][2]. The project is expected to provide around 13,000 residential units and create 27,000 jobs, with land resumption and clearance scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2028 [1].
