Carrying the mission of bringing new life into the historic buildings, surveyors of URA are determined to showcase a sustainable leasing project by incorporating conservation elements and social values into business. The legacy of 618 Shanghai Street is first introduced with illustrations of four core character defining elements including streetscape and architectural merits that make the shophouses the talk of the town. The conservation-cum-revitalisation project has given new life to the last remaining Cantonese verandah cluster in Hong Kong, allowing local residents, different generations of other districts and visitors to have their footprints and stories told at 618 Shanghai Street to which we all belong.
