According to the news, the government has contacted the URA and will study how to promote the reconstruction with the private company "Pingfang Building Company" that manages Tai Hang Sai Village. After completion, some units will be reserved for subsidized sale of houses and resettlement of residents. There are specific details.
According to wireless news reports, there is an initial tendency to use two of the blocks for rehousing existing residents "available for rent or for purchase", while the remaining units are sold as subsidized housing.
Approved reconstruction plan can build nearly 5000 units
The Town Planning Board approved the redevelopment application of Tai Hang West Village in 2016. The redevelopment plan at that time was to build 6 buildings with 27 to 47 floors, involving 4,925 residential units.
According to the plan drawn up at that time, existing tenants can choose to obtain compensation and move away, or purchase newly built subsidized housing units after reconstruction, or they can choose to rent old units that are not in the redevelopment plan.
At that time, the City Planning Board required that it be necessary to reach an agreement with the residents on resettlement or relocation arrangements, otherwise the reconstruction plan could not be initiated.
In the past, Tai Hang West Village was a squatter area. In order to resettle the residents affected by the fire, the government granted land to the private company "Ping Man Building Co., Ltd." in 1961 to build Tai Hang West Village at a preferential land price.
Tai Hang Sai Village, completed in 1965, is the only remaining private low-rent housing village in Hong Kong, involving a total of 1,603 units in 8 buildings.
Due to disrepair, some households living in the village pointed out earlier that some units had peeled off the external walls, exposed steel bars, and leaked water.
