FIRST STAGE OF REDEVELOPMENT OF CHAI WAN (WEST) ESTATE
TO START IN JANUARY
Better living environment for some 27,000 tenants of the old
Chai Wan (West) Estate will soon be a reality.
Blocks 24 and 25 of the estate are scheduled to be demolished
in January and modernised largely through redevelopment.
Chai Wan (West) Estate, which was completed in 1963, is one
of the 12 Mark I and II public housing estates which the Authority
intends to redevelop. It has four Mark I blocks and eight Mark II
blocks in which tenants share communal facilities.
On the site of the demolished blocks will be built a 28-storey
tower block and three slab blocks providing about 920 flats to house
over 5,000 people. Foundation and building works will start in March.
Flats of different sizes will be built and each will have
a private balcony, kitchen, toilet and shower.
The ground floors of these four domestic blocks have been
reserved for shops, a kindergarten and a residenti hostel for aged
singles and couples.
On full redevelopment, expected to take over ten years,
the
estate will have 18 domestic blocks
