Tung Chung Crescent, Residential complex in Tung Chung, Hong Kong.
Tung Chung Crescent is a residential development at 1 Qingdong Street in Tung Chung, Lantau, made up of eight towers of 29 to 43 storeys with 2,158 units and about 507 parking spaces. The towers are faced in pale grey concrete with dense grids of small windows and balconies, dark vertical channels running up the facades, and stepped flat-topped rooflines. Thick rectangular columns support a raised podium above shrubs and small trees. There is no Block 4.
Tung Chung Crescent's development rights were awarded in 1995 together with Seaview Crescent and Citygate, as the first MTR Tung Chung Station property put to open tender. The eight towers were built by Hip Hing Construction and completed for occupation between August and December 1999. The first units sold at an average of HK$3,138 per square foot.
The pedestrian plaza between the eight towers is paved with coloured tiles: black tiles in the middle stand for a stream, brown tiles on either side for paddy fields beside it, and brown and grey for a beach, green and grey for the tide. The paving leads toward Citygate, where bench seats shaped like sampans sit and fountain jets stand for spray breaking on the shore.
The complex sits two minutes from Tung Chung MTR station and offers direct train access to central Hong Kong. Drivers can use the 507 parking spaces available on-site, and the area is walkable.
The development has no fourth tower: the blocks are numbered without it, and the towers rise from 29 to 43 storeys. The pedestrian plaza between the eight blocks is laid with coloured tiles, black in the middle for a stream and brown at the sides for paddy fields, running toward the Citygate plaza.
