Tin Ching Estate
Tin Ching Estate is a public housing estate in Tin Shui Wai, New Territories, Hong Kong, near Light Rail Tin Yuet stop. It is divided into two phases and consists of seven residential buildings completed in 2008 and 2010 respectively.
Background
The first and second phases of Tin Ching Estate were occupied on 10 July 2008, while the third phase was occupied on 1 April 2010. In particular, Blocks 1 and 2 belong to the second phase, and Blocks 3 and 4 belong to the first phase.Since the first and second phases in Area 103 were occupied at the same time, the third phase in Area 104 was occupied nearly two years later. Therefore, many people in the district mistakenly believed that the estate was divided into two phases. The first and second phases are the same as the first phase.
Facilities
Amenity and community building
The Tin Ching Amenity and Community Building is a six-storey complex that houses a number of non-governmental organisations providing a range of community and social welfare services. It is also home to the Yuen Long Job Centre of the Labour Department.The building, which has a gross floor area of around 9,500 square metres, was built on a site originally intended to be an open-air car park. It was constructed by the Housing Authority in response to requests from several social organisations for more operational space in Tin Shui Wai.
