NEW ESTATE TO HOUSE 16,000 PEOPLE
Piling work for the first phase of the $51-million public
housing estate in Chai Wan, which will eventually house 16,000 people,
is expected to start in April this year.
Site investigation is now in progress and tenders for the piling
contract will be invited sometime in March, a spokesman for the Public
Works Department said today.
The first phase of the project, which involves the construction
of three seven-storey domestic blocks, is expected to be completed in
1975, providing homes for 5,700 people.
The second phase, which involves the construction of a 22-storey
block and a commercial/marketing/parking complex, is expected to be completed
about a year later and will provide accommodation for another 10,300 people.
The estate will have a total of 2,240 flats equipped with all the
basic facilities essential for a self-contained community, a Housing
Department spokesman said.

There will be a market complex with 476 market stalls, 20 cooked
food stalls, a public library and 518 covered parking spaces.
Thirty-eight shops will be provided on the ground floor of two
adjacent blocks, thus centralising shopping facilities.
Other facilities will include a post office, a welfare building, an
administrative block, an inoculation centre, two schools and a two-storey
restaurant.

There will also be 3.7 acres of recreational grounds.
