NEJ ESTATE IN TSUEN JAN
Housing Authority's lla Kwai Chung Estate in Tsuen Wan is now
more than half completed.
Three huge twin-tower blocks of 21 to 24 storeys high are
being constructed on a 22-acre terraced site which overlooks the whole
of the Tsuen Wan/Kwai Chung area.
These blocks, eventual homes for over 15,000 people, will be
completed in about six months.
Meanwhile, tenders are invited for the building of the last
Ihase of the housing project consisting of a 13-storey slab block, a
secondary school and a community hall.
The slab block will house about 3,300 people bringing the
population of the estate to about 19,000.
Because of the sloping site, housing blocks have to be built on
different levels. Housing Department Architects have devised a system
of covered walkways and lifts to link the block with the lower-levol
podium.
