Un Chau Estate


Un Chau Estate, or Un Chau Street Estate before redevelopment, is a public housing estate on the reclaimed land of Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong, located between Un Chau Street and Cheung Sha Wan Road, next to MTR Cheung Sha Wan Station. It consists of 10 residential buildings completed in 1998, 1999 and 2008, which were developed into 4 phases. Phase 5 was developed on the site of the former Cheung Sha Wan Factory Estate.

Background

Un Chau Street Estate had 8 residential blocks completed in 1969, but all the blocks were demolished in 1990s and 2000s, and replaced by new-typed buildings. The redeveloped estate was renamed as "Un Chau Estate". Phase 1 and 3 consists of 6 residential buildings and a shopping centre, which were completed between 1998 and 1999. Phase 2 and 4 consists of 5 residential buildings completed in 2008.
Phase 5 is on the site of the former Cheung Sha Wan Factory Estate. It comprises three site-oriented domestic blocks and an
ancillary facilities block providing car parks, amenity facilities, elderly centre and the integrated family services centre. Foundation works commenced in 2007 and was completed in 2012.

Houses

Phase 2, 4 and 5 have been offered as alternate public housing for people displaced by the demolition of buildings in nearby So Uk Estate.
