Fu Cheong Estate was built in 2001 on the site of the bus terminus of the former pier, located between Yen Chow Street and Tung Chau Street. In 1977, the sea outside Tung Chau Street was reclaimed, the ferry pier was relocated near the newly reclaimed land near Yen Chow Street in 1978, and Nam Cheong Estate was built in 1989 on land beyond the old ferry pier[3][4][5] located at the junction of Pei Ho Street and Tung Chau Street.

Wing Cheong Estate[edit]
Wing Cheong Estate is composed of two Y-shaped blocks completed 2013, between Fu Cheong Estate and the West Kowloon Corridor, on Sai Chuen Road. It provides about 1500 public rental flats.[18] The main contractor for the estate's construction was Paul Y Engineering.[19]
To mitigate the noise nuisance of the adjacent West Kowloon Corridor, the flats facing this motorway are equipped with "acoustic balconies". The balcony parapet incorporates an inclined glass panel to deflect noise, and the walls and ceiling of the balconies are faced with sound-absorbing panels.[20]
