Public housing estates in the Kai Tak development area

The following is an overview of public housing estates in the Kai Tak development area, located in the Kowloon City District of Hong Kong.

The two estates, called Kai Ching (啟晴) and Tak Long (德朗), opened on the former north apron in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

[1] Kai Ching Estate (Chinese: 啟晴邨) consists of six residential buildings completed in 2013.

Kai Ching Estate was built by China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong).

[9] De Novo (Chinese: 煥然壹居) is a housing estate of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) comprising four residential blocks and a two-storey commercial complex.

In April 2015, it was reported that some of the flats at De Novo will be offered up for subsidised sale at about 75 per cent of the market value.

However, the Apple Daily newspaper took samples from each of De Novo's four blocks and found lead contamination up to 30 per cent above the acceptable limit.
