WORK TO START SOON ON SHA TIN ESTATE
Two Blocks And A School To Be Built
Construction of the first blocks of the Lek Yuen Government
Low Cost Housing Estate in Sha Tin will begin shortly.
Two 15-storey domestic blocks and an estate primary school
will be built.
The two blocks will provide 1,144 flats for families of 5, 7 and 9.
An ambulance depot and two kindergartens will be accommodated
in the ground floor spaces.
Work is expected to begin in April and will take about a year
and a half to complete.
The $63 million estate, to be built on reclaimed land, is
initially designed to accommodate 23,000 people. On completion, it will
have seven domestic blocks.
The project is part of the Sha Tin New Town development plan.
