In 2014–15, The Link REIT (“The Link”) will kick-start Barrier Free Access (“BFA”) improvement works at 42 properties, with works at 13 of these properties (see below table) scheduled to begin over the next six months.
Since the announcement of The Link’s BFA Improvement Plan in early 2011, upgrading works have begun at 88 properties. Among these, 75 properties have substantially been furnished with BFA facilities following the Best Practicable Principle, standards of universal design, the Buildings Department’s Design Manual: Barrier Free Access 2008 and other associated requirements. Improvement works for all properties owned and managed by The Link are expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
