Ching Chun Court is located in Kwai Tsing District, bounded by Cheung Ching Estate to the north, east and south, Ching Hong Road and a football field to the west. The former use of the site is the ex-Chan Lai So Chun Memorial School building. With the site situated on an elevated slope, flats of Ching Chun Court enjoy spectacular sea views as compared to the surrounding residential developments. Two site specific blocks of 24 storeys with 465 flats are provided. Given the availability of essential amenities such as leisure parks, retail facilities & schools which are at close proximity to the court, residents can enjoy the wellness of living from the surrounding. The design focuses on landscaping design on podium & G/F in order to enhance the residents’ livelihood. To specially tailor for family use, a pleasant & convenient pedestrian environment is created and therefore, the vehicular and pedestrian entrances are discretely separated to ensure pedestrians’ safety.
