Board member Perry Yiu expressed that the termination of the 11 Skies project sublease, agreed upon with New World Development, is beneficial for both parties.

Yiu emphasized that if the 11 Skies project remained in negotiation limbo, it would impede overall development. He also highlighted that the 11 Skies project is designed to provide enhanced entertainment experiences, targeting both local residents and transit passengers from the Greater Bay Area.
