Commercial and Industrial Buildings - Submission of Application

• Owners can submit applications at any time. URFS will process all the applications received within a calendar month as the same batch which is counted from the date of the first application in that batch. URFS will notify the public every round of such one-month collection period via its website.
• The application form for the Scheme ("Application Form") can be collected from URFS's office or downloaded from URFS's website. Applicants are required to jointly submit the duly completed and signed Application Forms and provide the relevant information to URFS. Interested owners can contact URFS to arrange for briefings to explain the details about the Scheme and to provide guidance for filling of the application forms.
• The owners shall ensure that all the criteria as stated in Para. 1 of "Application Requirements" have been satisfied before submission of the application.
• The owners shall nominate a coordinator (‘the Coordinator") and provide his/her name in the Application Form. The Coordinator shall be an owner-applicant. More than one Coordinator can be nominated. URFS may contact the Coordinator(s) for arranging building conditions inspection, obtaining further information or seeking clarifications of the information provided in the Application Form and other matters concerning the application.
• In order to inform all the owners in the Application Site, the Coordinator should obtain sufficient copies of the Facilitating Services (Pilot Scheme) Posters and Notification Letters from URFS, post up the Poster in a conspicuous place in the lobby of each individual building within the Application Site and insert copies of the Notification Letters into the letter boxes of all the owners. If the Coordinator has other means to inform the owners, he/she should specify the method(s) already adopted/to be adopted in the Application Form.
• If owners have submitted an application under the Demand-led Redevelopment Project (Pilot Scheme) of URA and such application is still being processed, the owners should first withdraw such application prior to submission of an application under the Scheme.
• If the Application Site is found to be duplicating with the sites included in other applications under the Scheme, URFS will require all the Coordinators of the applications concerned to reply in writing within a specified time as to their choices of which application is considered as the final application to be submitted. If URFS does not receive any written reply from the Coordinators within the specified time, all the purported duplicate applications might not be considered by URFS.
