Tamar Site

Tamar site (Chinese: 添馬艦), 4.2-hectare large, the former location of the naval basin attached to the headquarters of the British Forces Overseas Hong Kong, is currently the site of the Central Government Offices (headquarter) of the Hong Kong Government at the harbourfront of Central, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong.

To the east, it connects with cultural and convention facilities including the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre; to the south, it connects with financial, commercial and tourism hubs; to the southwest, it connects to Garden Road which is rich in historical and heritage values.

It is currently the most expensive piece of empty land in Hong Kong, valued at $24.3 billion on the market ($9,000 per square foot). Different parties were in favour of building their own projects in the site, including the government's new headquarters, highly profitable office or retailing space, and a waterfront open green space.

Famous quotes containing the word site:

    The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
