Cheung Lung Wai Estate, Public rental housing estate in North District, Hong Kong.
Cheung Lung Wai Estate is a public housing development in North District with two tall residential towers that together hold more than 1,300 apartments. The buildings shape the local skyline and provide homes for families of varying sizes.
The estate was completed in 2015 as part of Hong Kong's ongoing program to provide affordable housing for residents. It continues a decades-long effort that gained momentum after World War II to meet the city's housing needs.
With a population of 3,765 residents recorded in 2016, the estate forms a residential community where 99.5 percent of inhabitants share Chinese ethnic background.
The estate is located on Ching Hiu Road with direct connections to the nearby hospital and multiple bus routes serving the area. Sheung Shui MTR Station is within walking distance and connects the neighborhood to other parts of the city.
One of the buildings, Ching Cheung House, has an unusual cross-shaped floor plan that differs from typical rectangular designs. This design choice was made to maximize living space and allow more natural light to reach individual apartments.
