Nova Taipa Gardens, Housing estate in Taipa, Macau, China.
Nova Taipa Gardens is a joint-venture residential development in Baixa da Taipa, Macau, built in phases from the late 1990s. By 2012 it comprised 13 buildings grouped into eight sub-parts, with 2,271 registered independent units and 2,123 parking spaces. The estate also includes commercial, office, hotel and social-amenity space.
Nova Taipa Gardens was developed as a joint venture of Hopewell Holdings, Shun Tak Holdings and Macau Tourism and Entertainment, planned in five phases on a 176,000 m² site in Baixa da Taipa. Phase 1 was completed in July 1997 with 2,228 units in 13 blocks and about 2,100 parking spaces. Phase 2C, comprising five blocks with about 680 apartments, began construction in August 2004. In November 2012 the first owners' assembly elected a 50-member management committee.
The estate's name, Nova Taipa Gardens, is a direct translation of the Chinese 濠景花園, while its Portuguese name Urbanização Jardim Nova Taipa follows Macau's official bilingual naming. The 2012 owners' assembly, the first in the estate's history, elected a 50-member management committee and approved a common reserve fund for upkeep.
The estate sits on Avenida do Almirante Lacerda in northern Baixa da Taipa, beside the Regency Art Hotel and the closed New Century Hotel. Its 13 buildings are grouped into eight sub-parts, and by 2012 it held 2,123 parking spaces, so arriving by car is straightforward. The adjoining plots BT11 and BT12 are being developed as a public park above an underground car park.
The estate's falling windows became a local cause: a December 2020 council report counted more than 200 fallen windows at Nova Taipa Gardens and neighbouring Nam San Garden between 2015 and 2019, blamed on corroded hinges and weather. A pilot scheme fitted anti-fall chains in 100 flats in 2021–2022, and by 2024 neighbourhood groups reported clear improvement.
