Portfolio

Named after Sir Cho-yiu Kwan, one of the founding members of the Housing Society
Being the first public housing estate built with a swimming pool, Cho Yiu Chuen was an award-winning estate for its aesthetic design
The 39-storey Kai King Lau completed in 1981 was the world’s highest public housing building at that time
Built in 1978, Chung Ning Sheh was the exclusive residence designed for the senior tenants with 132 elderly flats
Lady Youde, wife of late Governor Sir Edward Youde, visited the estate in 1982
As some blocks were built along the hillside, the Housing Society installed a transfer lift tower and footbridge in 2014 to enhance accessibility for the residents. The project was a winner in the "Major A&A and Renovation Works" category of the Building Surveyor Awards 2015
