History

The site was originally a Union Carbide depot developed in the 1960s.^[3][4][5] The complex was used for chemical storage, warehousing, and materials manufacturing. A latex manufacturing plant opened at the site in March 1977.^[6] In the 1990s, the company decided to relocate the Sham Tseng facilities to China, freeing up the site for sale and eventual residential redevelopment.^[4]

Kerry Properties won the 99,388 square foot site in a private tender in October 1994.^[7] The developer acquired the site in December 1994. In November 1997, the building plans for the new residential complex were approved by the Buildings Department.^[8] The first flats were sold in early 2001.^[9][10]
