[2] Planning of the estate was carried out by Eric Cumine, with buildings designed by Luke Him Sau, Chau & Lee and Leigh & Orange.
By 2008, after 48 years, the estate was still in good condition but its estimated high maintenance cost made the Hong Kong Housing Authority decide to demolish the six blocks in March 2012.
[4] A foundation titled, "Farewell So Uk" was established as a historical archive for the Estate and to document its history of its residents.
[5] The Housing Department won a Merit Award from the Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design in 2014 for their community-minded redevelopment approach.
So Uk Estate is also within walking distance of Cheung Sha Wan station of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR).
