Lai Chui Court is located in Cheung Sha Wan. It is the first Green Form Subsidized Home Ownership Scheme (GSH) project after the regularization of GSH. It has a total of 3,859 flats comprising GSH and public rental housing. The master layout plan has allowed wide wind corridors for penetration of prevailing wind and improved the wind environment in the district
The court is designed to create an Urban Oasis with extensive vertical greenery, multi-level green courts with flourishing vegetation and a vast car-free pedestrian zone. The shopping centre was designed with natural ventilation and lighting, and together with the grand green staircase in the courtyard, residents are able to enjoy a comfortable neigbourliness life.
