Gammon Building Construction Limited has won two building contracts with a total value of HK$3.91 billion. They include a public rental housing development by Hong Kong Housing Authority at Tuen Mun and a R&D offices development at Hong Kong Science Park Phase 3c.

The Science Park development, which follows the award of the Park’s Phase 3a and 3b to Gammon earlier, covers the construction of two research and development offices and laboratory-enabled buildings both with a basement, and an exhibition hall. Other works include the external and landscaping work and a linkbridge to connect buildings. The project will meet the stringent Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method (HKBEAM) Plus Platinum standard.
