The following is a non-exhaustive list ofprivate housing estates inSha Tin District,Hong Kong.
Festival City (名城) is the largest private housing estate inTai Wai. It is a HK$20 billion residential-commercial development project byCheung Kong andMTR Corporation. It is located above the Tai Wai (Station) Maintenance Centre, next toTai Wai station, which is the interchange station between theEast Rail line and theTuen Ma line of theMTR metro system. The site was formerly occupied by a football court and a public bicycle park. However, the government needed to build the Ma On Shan Line Depot in 2000, forcing the demolition of all of the facilities.
Festival City was built in three phases from 2007 to 2012. It consists of 12 buildings, a 620,000-square-foot (58,000-square-metre)clubhouse and a landscape podium. Phase I was completed in September 2010, Phase II in October 2011, and Phase III in August 2012. The plan was to build twelve 50-storey-high residential towers with a total construction area of 313,955 square metres (3,379,380 sq ft) as well as 25,890 square metres (278,700 sq ft) for the general public's use. It offers 4,264 flats to families, two schools and one community facility. This residential project raised the population of Tai Wai significantly. The controversy of this project is that the 12 towers would create anurban heat island effect and block off the air flow of the area.[1][2]
