The Cliveden, Private residential estate in Tsuen Wan District, Hong Kong.
The Cliveden is a residential estate in the mid-levels of Tsuen Wan District, Hong Kong, made up of nine apartment towers arranged along Route Twisk. Each tower rises ten floors and the whole development holds a total of 210 apartments spread across its buildings.
The estate was completed in 2002 through a joint venture between Kerry Properties and Sino Land. It was built during a period when Tsuen Wan was expanding its residential offer across its hillside areas.
The name of the complex is borrowed from Cliveden, a stately home in England, following a common practice in Hong Kong where English names are used to give a residential development a sense of prestige. This naming habit is visible across many districts and reflects the city's long relationship with British culture.
The complex sits along Route Twisk on a steep hillside road and is best reached by bus since the road is winding and not easy to navigate on foot. Several bus and minibus lines run between the estate and Tsuen Wan MTR station, making public transport the most practical option.
The block numbering in the estate skips the number four, which sounds similar to the word for death in Cantonese, and this practice is followed so consistently that it also affects floor numbering inside the towers. Visitors from outside Hong Kong often notice this only when they look closely at the lift buttons.
