It was built next to Kai Tak and is one of the closest buildings to the former airport.

Kowloon Bay Health Centre Incident

In 1995, the government proposed the construction of a clinic which included a treatment centre for HIV/AIDS infection. The Richland Gardens residents were worried about bringing undesirable people and infectious disease to the area, and strongly protested against the plan. Although the centre could still open in 1999, the residents continued to protest against the centre, by blocking access to the clinic, annoying and attacking patients and health care workers. Several residents were then sued by the Equal Opportunities Commission, but finally the case was settled out of court in 2001.

A monorail station has been proposed for Richland Gardens as part of the Environmentally Friendly Linkage System .

Richland Gardens is in Primary One Admission School Net 46. Within the school net are multiple aided schools ; no government primary schools are in this net.
