Background

Before redevelopment, Pak Tin Estate consisted of 17 residential blocks in total, which were built between 1969 and 1979. Block 1 to 3 and Block 7 to 17 were assigned to Upper Pak Tin Estate (Chinese: 白田上邨), while Block 4 to 6 were assigned to Lower Pak Tin Estate (Chinese: 白田下邨). In 1984, two estates were merged to form Pak Tin Estate. In 1985, the Hong Kong Housing Authority announced that the strength of the concrete of Block 14 to 16 had structural problems and they were firstly demolished in 1989. Block 4 to 8 and Block 17 were then demolished in the 1990s. Except Block 1 to 3 and Block 9 to 13, the demolished blocks are now replaced by new-typed buildings.
