Amoy Gardens (Chinese: 淘大花園; Jyutping: tou4 daai6 faa1 jyun4) is a private housing estate in the Jordan Valley area of Kowloon, Hong Kong completed from 1981 to 1987.
[1] It was the most seriously affected location during the 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), with over 300 people infected there.
[3] Amoy put the site of approximately 222,560 square feet (20,677 m2) up for auction in March 1977, intending to move their manufacturing operations elsewhere in stages.
Subsequently, Hang Lung Development signed an agreement to purchase the site in April 1977 for about HK$200 million.
All residents were subsequently moved to Lei Yue Mun and Lady MacLehose Holiday Village for isolation.
Later, the complex was retrofitted with an auxiliary floor drainage system that included fresh water interlocks to prevent regurgitation of sewer gases.
[8] Amoy Gardens is served by the Kowloon Bay station of the MTR metro system.
