Background

Shek Pai Wan Estate was a resettlement estate and it consisted of seven blocks built between 1966 and 1968.[3] In 1985, Block 2 was found to have structural problems by the Hong Kong Housing Authority, so it was firstly demolished in 1988.[4]
The estate started redevelopment in 1998 and the redevelopment project was divided into three phases. However, Phases 1 and 2 were combined and renamed as Phase 1 whereas Phase 3 was renamed as Phase 2 later.[5][6] There are seven new blocks completed in 2005 and 2007 respectively. Some of the flats were used to accommodate the tenants affected by the redevelopment of Wong Chuk Hang Estate.[7]
