The property up for tender in Central is Winning House. It is located at Nos. 26 and 28 Hollywood Road and was completed in 1958.

Located at the core area of Central District, it is close to Tai Kwun and Lan Kwai Fong and only a few steps from the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator. The site has been zoned as "Residential R(A)" under the Approved Sai Ying Pun & Sheung Wan Outline Zoning Plan No. S/H3/34. The property offers a rare opportunity for redevelopment and investment.

The second property is located at No. 38 Centre Street in the traditional residential district of Sai Ying Pun. It is a six-storey half block residential building completed in 1971 with a retail shop on the ground floor. With a saleable area of 3,291 sq ft, it offers potential redevelopment opportunity to merger with the neighbouring lot.

Joseph Tsang, Chairman at JLL in Hong Kong, said: "The above three properties are put up for sale by the same owner, all with redevelopment potential, and with Ma Tau Kok and Sai Ying Pun being key areas of community redevelopment in recent years, the area's supporting facilities and livelihood will be improved, and coupled with convenient transportation links, the properties are suitable for investors to buy to let or for redevelopment for sale. We expect the properties will attract strong interests from developers and investors."
