June 15, 2026 HK$28.1 Billion Supercomputing Oasis Breaks Ground at Sha Ling
The Sha Ling Data Park, a flagship innovation and technology project located in Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis, has achieved major milestones, transitioning rapidly from planning to active development.
Construction & Land Sale Status Land Handover: In early March 2026, the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB) officially awarded the 11-hectare land plot to Hong Kong Runjiang Intelligent Computing Technology Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of Mainland China’s giant, Rongze Intelligent Computing Technology Group) under a 50-year lease for HK$581 million.
Construction Breakthrough: Construction officially commenced during a groundbreaking ceremony on March 28, 2026. Powered by a special government task force created to slash regular red tape, the project broke records for "Hong Kong Speed"—achieving site entry, groundbreaking, and obtaining critical construction and noise permits within a highly compressed, parallel administrative timeframe.
 Facilities & Infrastructure Layout
The 3 Intelligent Computing Clusters: The heart of the facility features three high-density, ultra-reliable data hub blocks (A1, A2, A3). They are strictly geared toward handling ‘Inference Power’, optimizing real-world AI applications.
Power Supply Integration: To manage the massive peak power demand of 220 Megawatts (MW), the layout maps out two independent 132kV substations. CLP Power Hong Kong is configuring these substations to run independently as a dual backup scheme to ensure an elite 99.999% grid reliability.
Ancillary Spaces: Plans feature dedicated rapid response offices, emergency dormitories, open event squares, and an expansive grid of solar panel arrays to align with clean-energy baselines.
 Project Timeline & Key Figures
Total Investment
HK$28.1 Billion
Total Floor Area
250,000 square meters (with 90% space allocated for high-end computing)
Operational Date
Scheduled to step-initialize operations within 42 months, by 2029
Calculated AI Capacity
To reach 180,000 PFLOPS by 2032, expanding Hong Kong’s current compute capacity by 36 times
Once complete, this layout will function as a vital gateway bridging mainland data flows with international networks.
