Among these 20 land transactions, five are located on Hong Kong Island, seven are in Kowloon and eight are in the New Territories. The transactions exclude Small House cases.
A further three lots were granted by private treaty during the period. One was granted to the Hong Kong Housing Society for residential development in Yuen Long, one was granted to the MTR Corporation Limited for residential development in Tseung Kwan O and the other one was granted for the development of a non-profit-making post-secondary college in Tuen Mun.
