Title of Projects:
Public Housing Development at Kai Tak Site 1A (Kai Ching Estate) and Site 1B (Tak Long Estate)
Background of Projects:
The Housing Authority’s Public Rental Housing Developments at Kai Tak Site 1A (3.47 hectares) and Site 1B (5.7 hectares) are located at the north apron area of the Kai Tak Development . Kai Tak Development is a signature project on the ex-Kai Tak Airport. The vision of the Government is to develop Kai Tak Development into “a Distinguished, Vibrant, Attractive and People-oriented area by the Victoria Harbour” with a good mix of community, housing, business, tourism and infrastructural uses.
The two estates provide about 13 300 flats for 34 000 residents in 15 domestic blocks, as well as ancillary retail facilities including a wet market, carparking facilities, kindergartens, neighbourhood elderly centre, integrated children and youth centre and recreational facilities. The first population intake will take place in 2013. Sites for schools and public parks are also planned within the vicinity of the estates.
Construction of supporting infrastructure including new roads and footbridges linking adjoining areas is being taken forward by concerned Government Departments.
