Long Ching Estate
Long Ching Estate is presently under construction on part of the site of the former Yuen Long Estate. The former estate had five buildings and was demolished in 2001. Originally the Housing Authority planned to build three 32-storey blocks on the land. However, the District Council believed the land should be privately developed to boost the local economy. The government eventually divided the land in two, offering part of the site for private development.
The new estate comprises two blocks of non-standard design offering 483 flats. It is designed to accommodate about 1400 residents.
