Background

Yau Tong Estate was a resettlement estate with 23 blocks built in 1964, 1965 and 1971 respectively, all of which were demolished in the 1990s. The estate was originally redeveloped in phases. However, the airport relocation and MTR Tseung Kwan O line construction caused delays in the redevelopment project. In the end, nearly all blocks were demolished at one time in the late 1990s, rather than by phases.[3]

After redevelopment, four blocks were built in 2000 and 2002 respectively.[4][5] In 2002, Ching Mei House (Block A) of Yau Mei Court was converted from Home Ownership Scheme to rental housing, and renamed Mei Tong House.[6][7][8]
