Royal Ascot, Hong Kong, Private residential complex in Fo Tan, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.
Royal Ascot is a private residential complex in Fo Tan comprising ten towers with over 2,500 units constructed above a railway maintenance depot. The development spreads across the site with varied housing options for residents.
The complex was completed in two phases between 1995 and 1996 through a partnership between Sun Hung Kai Properties and Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation. This collaboration combined real estate development with railway infrastructure at the site.
The complex takes its name from its location opposite Sha Tin Racecourse, drawing from English horse racing heritage. This naming choice reflects how local developers incorporated international references into the neighborhood's identity.
You can access the complex through two main entrances from Lok King Street and Tsung King Road. The Plaza Ascot shopping mall within the development offers shops and services on site.
The development omits Block 4 from its numbering due to traditional Chinese beliefs linking the number four to bad fortune. This practice appears in many buildings across Hong Kong and other Asian locations.
