Background

Before redevelopment, it consisted of 5 buildings which were completed between 1970 and 1972. In 1985, the Housing Authority announced that the strength of the concrete in blocks 3, 4 and 5 of Kwai Hing Estate were below standard. All the blocks were later demolished between 1988 and 1992 to cope with the estate redevelopment. The estate was later redeveloped with 5 buildings between 1991 and 1992. The estate joined the Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) in 2002 and is currently managed by the Owners' Corporation.
