The only thing I sense is that more and more areas seem to get closed off each year (last year, it was Sogo that closed down from my visit the year before). Then there's this... closing the Ave of Stars for 3 years. That seems insane. They can't keep it open and work on it in phases? We'll see how our stay at IC goes. So far, it's been minimal impact, including last year. But there's never been construction in front of the harbour-view side up to this point, so we'll see.
The tower is going up fairly fast. And glass curtains already installed on the lower floors.

Anyways, you forgot to mention the HK Museum of Art is closed as well (also for 3 years).
