Phase 5 is on the site of the former Cheung Sha Wan Factory Estate. It comprises three site-oriented domestic blocks and an ancillary facilities block providing car parks, amenity facilities, elderly centre and the integrated family services centre. Foundation works commenced in 2007 and were completed in 2012.
