Bringing MTR’s Rail + Property model to life
LOHAS Park
Built above a railway station and depot, LOHAS Park offers an attractive and sustainable lifestyle to residents with extensive landscaped open space, a seaside promenade and a vibrant mix of retail and leisure facilities.
All-weather walkways connect over 25,000 homes in residential towers as part of a community that includes schools as well as social and recreational amenities.
Situated at the community’s centre, above the railway station, the LOHAS mall features trendy retail and dining outlets as well several world-class attractions including Hong Kong’s first digital indoor playground and the largest indoor ice-skating rink in the city. LOHAS Park comprises a total GFA of 17.2 million sq.ft.
Hong Kong Station
Located in the heart of Hong Kong’s thriving central business district, Hong Kong Station brings people together from all corners of the city. The prime location also attracts multinational companies, with the 88-storey IFC2, one of two office towers above the station, being one of the most sought-after business addresses in town.
Convenient transport connections, including the Airport Express In-Town Check In and an underground pedestrian walkway to Central Station, add to the convenience and accessibility. Further attractions include the up-market IFC shopping mall and a five-star luxury hotel. The development’s total GFA area is 4.5 million sq ft. and MTR Corporation retains ownership of 18 floors of IFC2 as part of its investment property portfolio.
Kowloon Station
Seamless connectivity, convenience and comfort are hallmarks of MTR’s landmark Kowloon Station development, a mixed-use community with GFA of 11.7 million sq. ft. on a 13.5 hectare site.
The Airport Express converges with local railway services and other public transport options for easy interchange for destinations within the city and beyond. The High Speed Rail terminus is just a short walk away providing the fastest connections into the Pearl River Delta and major cities across China.
This Rail plus Property development optimises valuable land near the Kowloon waterfront. MTR’s flagship luxury mall, ELEMENTS, sits directly above the underground transport infrastructure. The podium level features abundant community and recreational facilities and outdoor dining choices. The development also includes the 118-storey International Commerce Centre, Hong Kong’s tallest building, as well as prestige residential towers, offering some 5,800 apartments.

Transforming the Travel Experience at London Liverpool Street Station
Following the successful delivery of over 100 million square feet of R+P development in Hong Kong, MTR, in partnership with Sellar, one of London’s leading property developers, are proposing to revitalise Liverpool Street Station, in the heart of London.
The proposed plans will transform London’s third busiest station into a world-class passenger experience, introducing an enhanced station concourse to sustain future growth with new commercial, retail and leisure facilities.
Designed by world renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron, the new station is being designed to meet the highest levels of sustainability, minimising the carbon footprint in construction and operation, including measures to conserve energy and water and enhance public health and wellbeing.
Most importantly, the redevelopment will be delivered at no cost to the taxpayer or rail user.

Building Vibrant and Sustainable Communities
Established over 40 years ago as a way of financing MTR’s first railway line, the Rail plus Property (R+P) model helps to fill funding gaps for new railway lines and generates revenue for railway operations through land and property developments adjacent to and above the railway.
Moving beyond a source of railway financing, the model has become a critical part of a city’s urban-development approach where well-planned, high-quality communities can flourish. R+P developments support thriving communities and local businesses through improved accessibility, greater connectivity, and enhanced public and green spaces.
