Kin Ming Estate

The following is an overview of Public housing estates in Tseung Kwan O, including Home Ownership Scheme (HOS), Private Sector Participation Scheme (PSPS), and Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) estates.

With the exception of Tsui Lam Estate, King Ming Court and Hong Sing Garden, all the public housing and HOS estates in Tseung Kwan O are built on the reclaimed land of Junk Bay.

In 1990s, cracks were found at various places around On Ning Garden, Fu Ning Garden, Tong Ming Court, Beverly Garden and Bauhinia Garden. The estates were also found unusual soil settlement on their reclaimed land when the MTR Tseung Kwan O Line was being constructed. After investigation, the government explained that the settlement occurred due to consolidation of soil layers overlying the bedrock when groundwater was lost to the sewage collection tunnels and not adequately replenished from the surface. But the government emphasized that the buildings built on the reclaimed land were still safe.

Bauhinia Garden (Chinese: 寶盈花園) is a HOS and PSPS estate, located near Tseung Kwan O Plaza, The Grandiose,Tseung Kwan O Station. It was jointly developed by the Hong Kong Housing Authority and Shui On Group. It consists of 8 residential blocks built on the reclaimed land and completed in 2001. In 1990s, it suffered serious unusual ground settlement when Tseung Kwan O Line was being constructed.
