“New l<strong>and</strong>, new home, new life!” is the concept of <strong>The</strong> Parcville, which is<br />

the joint–venture project of Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited <strong>and</strong> New<br />

World Development Company Limited, in the design stage. Located in<br />

Tung Tau, Yuen Long, <strong>The</strong> Parcville comprises 14 low-density residential<br />

buildings between 13 <strong>and</strong> 15 storeys, containing 1,618 units. <strong>The</strong><br />

development enjoys a view of Mai Po Nature Reserve, <strong>and</strong> a nearby<br />

bauhinia garden offers <strong>The</strong> Parcville’s residents another view of scenic<br />

greenery. <strong>The</strong> development was planned to blend with its natural<br />

surroundings. It includes 20,000 s.m. of l<strong>and</strong>scaping area planted with<br />

about 2,500 trees, making it one of the largest<br />

green housing estates in the area.<br />

Environmental features are integrated<br />

into the building design of <strong>The</strong> Parcville,<br />

including rainwater recycling system,<br />

naturally ventilated semi-enclosed car<br />

park, environmental education pathway,<br />

water saving sanitary fittings, recyclable<br />

waste segregation bins on each floor, solar<br />

powered l<strong>and</strong>scape lighting, etc. As a<br />

consequence of these pioneering initiatives,<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parcville achieved the highest HK-BEAM<br />

(the Hong Kong Building Environmental<br />

Assessment Method) rating of Excellent<br />

upon building completion in 2002, the first<br />

residential premises to accomplish this level of<br />

environmental performance.<br />

As the first eco-friendly residential estate in Hong Kong, we have<br />

adopted many energy conservation design features such as :<br />

heat pump (indoor swimming pool <strong>and</strong> air-conditioning), natural<br />

ventilated carpark, natural lighting at clubhouse, VVV-F type lift, VRV,<br />

energy saving household appliances, solar lamps, wind turbine,<br />

“soft starter”, timer switches, <strong>and</strong> frame for solar energy receiver<br />

panel etc.. Through continuous reduction in energy consumption,<br />

our carbon footprint is also reduced <strong>and</strong> therefore minimised the<br />

urban heat isl<strong>and</strong> impact.<br />
