Overall Score

Located on its namesake Inverness Road, Parc Inverness is surrounded by the lush greenery of Kowloon Tsai Park, Luk Fu Park and Inverness Road Garden.  The vision of Parc Inverness is to become the “Jewel in the Oasis” of the historic residential area of Kowloon Tong.

With its focus on creating a functional and tranquil living environment for its residents, Parc Inverness is designed to encourage green and sustainable behaviour through the following elements:

  • The extensive soft landscaping and greenery – on the roof, sky gardens, jogging path and gateway – contribute to a healthy and green living environment, promoting the physical and psychological wellbeing of residents.
  • The sky gardens in Tower 3 and the atrium design make full use of natural light and ventilation, greatly reducing energy consumption of the development in long run.
  • The design tends to minimise distraction from surrounding areas while maximising the view of the Lion Rock ridgeline.
