TWO MORE ESTATES IN KOWLOON TO HOUSE 55,000

Two more multi-million dollar public housing estates are to be

built in East Kowloon, the Housing Authority announced today.

The estates will be built on either side of Clear Water Bay Road.

They have been tentatively named Clear Water Bay Road (East) and Ngau Chi

Wan estates.

Housing Department architects are now finalising the drawings of

these two estates, which will eventually provide homes for about 55,000

people. The flats are the current Housing Authority type, each with its

own private balcony, kitchen and toilet with shower.

Clear Water Bay Road (East), which will be built on a 14-acre

site, will have five twin-tower blocks containing over 3,700 flats, housing

about 26,000 people.

Ngau Chi Wan Estate, directly across the road, will occupy a slightly

bigger site of about 17 acres. The layout plan is still on the drawing board.

However, architects propose to house about 29,000 people in this estate.

These two modern housing complexes will have all the facilities as

those available at Oi Man.

"As these two estates are so close to one another, it is intended

to integrate the provision of shopping and other commercial, social and

communal facilities to avoid any duplication or over provision of facilities,'

a spokesman for the Housing Department said.
