West Kowloon Terminus (WKT) is the terminus under construction of the Hong Kong Section of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL). It is the only station in the Hong Kong Section and will connect to the mainland China section through a dedicated tunnel. It is being constructed by the MTR Corporation.
Aedas in collaboration with AECOM has been awarded the contract to design the multi-story 25-acre (100,000 m2) terminus.
WKT will be located in Jordan, Kowloon, north of the proposed West Kowloon Cultural District between the Airport Express and Tung Chung Line Kowloon Station and the West Rail Line Austin Station, extending into the underground area of the West Kowloon Cultural District. It will be commissioned in 2014 at the earliest.
