[2] North Point Estate was developed by the Hong Kong Housing Authority and completed in 1957.

[4] The estate featured extensive planning that set it apart from the existing public housing developments at the time.

There are also many facilities planned in conjunction with the estate, including: a primary school accommodating 800 pupils; assembly hall; clinic; post office; bus terminus, and a ferry pier (North Point Ferry Pier).

[8] On 2 March 2000, the Housing Authority announced the redevelopment of North Point Estate by February 2002.

After North Point Estate was demolished, the east and central part of the site were used as temporary open car parks and the rest left vacant, for more than ten years.
