*******************************************************************************
Located at On Muk Street in Shek Mun, Sha Tin, three of the four domestic blocks at Shek Mun Estate Phase II began residential intake today (February 11). The intake of the last remaining block is expected to take place later this year. This shows the continuous efforts of the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) to provide affordable rental housing to eligible low-income families with housing needs.
"The three domestic blocks that commenced intake today are Fung Shek House, San Shek House and Sui Shek House, while the one to be completed is Hi Shek House. These non-standard blocks are 31 storeys, 38 storeys, 39 storeys and 45 storeys in height respectively, providing a total of about 3 000 Public Rental Housing (PRH) units for about 8 700 residents," a spokesman for the HA said.
Shek Mun Estate offers a number of recreational facilities including children's playgrounds, multi-purpose courts, basketball courts, badminton courts and table-tennis tables. In addition, there will be a community farm for residents' use.
Eateries and a wet market at Shek Mun Shopping Centre, parking spaces, a child care centre and a kindergarten are expected to be available later this year to cater to the daily needs of residents.
Shek Mun Estate Phase II is adjacent to Phase I and MTR Shek Mun Station, with covered walkways for residents' convenient access to facilities within and outside of the estate.
Once completed, Shek Mun Estate Phase II will offer around 5 000 PRH units for about 13 500 residents.
