So Uk Estate (
Chinese: 蘇屋邨) is situated in the northern area
So Uk, a
downhill in Cheung Sha Wan. The estate was built alongside of
squatter areas, which was later demolished for the construction of the estate of 16 blocks in 1960. Unlike many public housing estates built afterwards, the
architectural design of the estates is unique in Hong Kong. The "houses" were named after varieties of flowers. There are 5,316 flats in the estate, with capacity of 15,200. High maintenance cost made the
Hong Kong Housing Authority decide to demolish it in 2008 and 2011 in two phases, and residents will be relocated to
Un Chau Estate Phases 2, 4, and 5 in
Sham Shui Po. ==Un Chau Estate==
