Un Chau Street Estate had 8 residential blocks completed in 1969,[3] but all the blocks were demolished in 1990s and 2000s, and replaced by new-typed buildings. The redeveloped estate was renamed as "Un Chau Estate".[4] Phase 1 and 3 consists of 6 residential buildings (a building for senior citizens included) and a shopping centre, which were completed between 1998 and 1999.[5][6][7] Phase 2 and 4 consists of 5 residential buildings completed in 2008.[8][9]
Phase 5 is the old site of former Cheung Sha Wan Factory Estate and is under development. 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 will commence in 2007 and the buildings will be completed in 2011.[10]
