He was commissioned by French national Patrick Yaich in 2008 to work on an Uptown proposal at a site within Port Louis, not far from his original Uptown location in his major transportation proposal. The land that Wong had designed on belonged to United Docks Limited. Yaich had commissioned other architects from Dubai and United States to also propose a design each, but Wong's proposal integrated financial engineering as part of the possible solution. He worked subsequently with United Docks Limited to plan the Port Louis Uptown proposal in Caudan.
