Built on the reclaimed land of North Lantau New Town Phase 1 project, it is the first and the only HOS court in Tung Chung.
It is divided into 'Yat Tung (I) Estate' (Chinese: 逸東(一)邨), completed in 2001 and comprising 13 blocks of Concord 1 and Harmony 1 types, and 'Yat Tung (II) Estate' (Chinese: 逸東(二)邨), completed in 2004 – 2005 and comprising 12 blocks of Harmony 1 and NCB types.
They claimed that when they moved in 11 years ago, the Housing Bureau's documents indicated a MTR station at the estate.
Sixteen works of art selected from 316 outstanding submissions for the competition "New Face of Heritage" were firstly displayed in the estate in 2002 while another 10 artworks were added in 2006.
It was originally planned for rehousing people affected by the Tai O development, but it was transferred to HOS units in 1999 since the clearance scale was largely reduced.
Yet due to high vacant rate of the building, it has been converted to HOS estate and sold at 2014, and the original residents were migrated.
