Lek Yuen Estate


The following is a list of public housing estates in Sha Tin and Fo Tan, Hong Kong, including Home Ownership Scheme (HOS), Private Sector Participation Scheme (PSPS), Sandwich Class Housing Scheme (SCHS), Flat-for-Sale Scheme (FFSS), and Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) estates.

When Sha Tin New Town was being developed, the beach and Sha Tin Hoi was reclaimed to construct Lek Yuen Estate, Wo Che Estate, Sha Kok Estate and Jat Min Chuen.

Fung Wo Estate opened beside Wo Che Estate in 2013 on the site of the former Sha Tin Police Married Quarters, which were demolished in 2007. It comprises three blocks housing 3,500 people.

Ka Shun Court is a Home Ownership Scheme estate comprising one block with 32 storeys. There are eight flats on each floor (excluding the ground level) producing 248 flats for sale. It is located in Hin Tin, within walking distance of the Hin Keng railway station which is scheduled to open in 2019. Ka Shun Court is under construction and is expected to be completed by 2018. It was built by Paul Y. General Contractors Limited.

Kwong Yuen Estate (Chinese: 廣源邨) is a mixed public and TPS estate in Siu Lek Yuen. Unlike other public estates in Sha Tin, Kwong Yuen Estate is built on sloping platform, instead of reclaimed land. In 2001, some of the flats were sold to the tenants through Tenants Purchase Scheme Phase 4.

The Commercial Centre Complex of the estate was designed to merge into the village environment in the vicinity. Unlike the commercial centres of other public housing estates, the Complex consists of five two-level blocks which are standing on two platforms. The 26m clock tower of the Complex is to reinforce the image of the Commercial Centre. In 1992, the design of the commercial centre won a Certificate of Merit in the annual design competition which was organized by The Hong Kong Institute of Architects.
