History

The Land, Public Works and Transport Bureau of Macau announced on September 11, 2009, its plans to build a brand new living area in Seac Pai Van with a population of 60,000, covering an area of about 300,000 square meters. Public housing was also to be built.[1] In order to maintain the positioning of Coloane as the lung of Macau, the area would be heavily greened near the Luen Seng Industrial Estate and adjacent quarry, both of which were originally lacking in greenery, so as to harmonize the area with the scenery of the adjacent Seac Pai Van Park.[1] In line with the government's environmental policies, natural gas was also to be introduced to the area.[1]

In 2013, the Health Bureau of Macau moved its health service station in Coloane to Loc Kuan Mansion.[citation needed]

Those four public housing projects have names with such meanings as “security”, “housing”, “happiness”, and “business”. They include Edifício On Son, Edifício Koi Nga, Edifício Lok Kuan, and Edifício Ip Heng, all of which can accommodate a combined total of up to 50,000 people. Many government departments have also set up offices in this public housing complex.
