Phases of development

The development has a shopping centre, a clubhouse of 40,000 sq ft (3,700 m2)., a swimming pool of 8,000 sq ft (740 m2). tennis courts, golf putting green, sauna rooms, carpark, etc. The price of development was considered attractive to small families, as most of the estates in the vicinity were relatively old constructions.

    The first phase of the development was launched amid the property bubble in 1997, and units were subject of many speculators' interest. The intensity spilled over to properties in neighbouring estates in Sham Tseng and Castle Peak, and stimulated a three-fold increase in transactions in the area in September compared with the month before, according to Centaline, Hong Kong's leading real estate agency chain.

    Shopping mall

    The 630,000 sq ft (59,000 m2). shopping centre was conceived as a mixture of shopping mall and park. It is considered as the first of its kind as a "Shopping Park". The shopping centre is themed as a tropical rain forest, an artificial waterfall and pillars decorated by big fruits were made. The roof of the main lobby is a stained glass dome which allows penetratration of natural daylight.

    The shopping centre was recently renamed "D-Park", remodeled, and rebranded as Hong Kong's first "parenting-oriented shopping mall".
