The Hong Kong government recognised the need for a funding source when it decided to build the Mass Transit Railway. It created a company that had authority to fill in part of the harbour, and this land was then used for a railway station, workshops and rolling stock depot. Using the air rights, 20 high-rise apartment blocks were also built on the site, with income from this development funding most of the cost of building the first phase of the MTR network.
