History

The land was surveyed by the Lands Department.
There are two theories:
  1. A theory claimed that it belonged to a wealthy man. According to the Land Registry, the first and second floors of this building were sold to a company for 6 million yuan back in 1991.
  2. Another theory states that a person surnamed Cai claimed that this is his ancestral land. The building before is a two-story tenement. Four storeys were built and added in its later years.
In 2015, Mascotte Holdings Limited acquired a number of flats for HKD 34.6 million.
In 2019, the building was renovated as of today. Its exterior is now coloured bronze and its terraces are sealed. The red handwriting sign vanished.
