Housing Authority Starts Intake of Residents at Kai Chuen Court Phase 1 PRH Estate

Hong Kong, 24 October 2021 — Tenant intake for the newly completed Kai Chuen Court Phase 1 public rental housing (PRH) estate by the HA in the Diamond Hill Comprehensive Development Area (CDA) at Choi Hung Road, Wong Tai Sin, has already started in phases, as the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) endeavours to provide affordable PRH to low-income families with housing needs.

This large-scale comprehensive development project in an urban area, which is rare in recent years, comprises Kai Chuen Court Phase 1 PRH, Kai Chuen Court Phase 2 Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme (GSH) and Kai Cheung Court Home Ownership Scheme (HOS). A water feature park, landscaped walk, public transportation interchange and religious facilities, etc, are also provided in the CDA.

Kai Chuen Court and other subsidised housing under construction are designed with stepped building heights, with a view to providing interesting visuals, and creating a harmonious environment with the surrounding developments nearby, while the development potential is fully utilised.

“Site-specific design has allowed us to plan the public housing blocks in accordance with the specific features and limitations of the site, with a view to better utilising the plot ratio and increasing the public housing production. We look forward to bringing new vitality to the community and creating a comfortable and harmonious urban environment for the locals when the entire development is completed,” said Chief Architect of the Housing Department Miss Chimmy Chu.

Adjacent to the MTR Diamond Hill Station, Kai Chuen Court has a good transport network with numerous bus and licenced minibus routes to various districts. With the completion of other public housing and facilities including the water feature park and landscaped walk in the development area, the Diamond Hill CDA will add brilliant vitality to the surrounding neighbourhood. — Construction+ Hong Kong
