Kwong Yuen Estate (Chinese: 廣源邨) is a mixed public and TPS estate in Siu Lek Yuen. Unlike other public estates in Sha Tin, Kwong Yuen Estate is built on sloping platform, instead of reclaimed land.[2] In 2001, some of the flats were sold to the tenants through Tenants Purchase Scheme Phase 4.[3]
The Commercial Center Complex of the estate was designed to merge into the village environment in the vicinity. Unlike the commercial centers of other public housing estates, the Complex consists of five two-level blocks which are standing on two platforms.[2] The 26m clock tower of the Complex is to reinforce the image of the Commercial Center.[2] In 1992, the design of the commercial center won a Certificate of Merit in the annual design competition which was organized by The Hong Kong Institute of Architects.[2][4]
