Tin Yat Estate (Chinese: 天逸邨) is a public housing estate in Tin Shui Wai, New Territories, Hong Kong, near Light Rail Tin Yat stop.[3] It consists of nine residential buildings completed in 2001.[4][5]

Background

According to the Hong Kong Directory published in 2001, Tin Yat Estate was originally a Home Ownership Scheme housing estate known as Yat Tin Court, but there is a difference in the housing estates in Tin Shui Wai, the word "Tin" is usually placed in front.[6] Later, because the government planned to shorten the waiting period for public housing to three years, the entire batch of housing estates in Phase 23B, including Yat Tin Court, were converted into public housing for lease.
