Urban Renewal Authority's Revitalisation Project at Mallory Street and Burrows Street, Wan Chai
The two pre-war tenement buildings at Nos, 1-11 Mallory Street and Nos, 6-12 Burrows Street were constructed in the 1910's, and were graded as Grade 2 Historic Buildings by the Antiquities Advisory Board in 2009.
Mallory Street and Burrows Street were named after the former owners, American firms Messrs, Lawrence Mallory and Burrows& Sons. In the 1910's, HongKong Land took possession of the area and developed the lot into 10 tenement houses.
Apart from the residential uses, different parts of the building cluster had been converted for other uses, including famous local eateries and the Government's "Shelter for the Homeless".
The area was originally zoned for "Open Space", but in response to the 2005 Policy Addressed, the area was rezoned to 'Other Specified Use' (Open Space And Historical Buildings Preserved for Cultural and Government Uses).
Construction works for the preservation cum revitalization project began in 2009 and was completed in 2013 as an "Art Community'.
