Wang Fuk Court ballot winners eye Kai Tak homes
SingTao · 1 SOURCES1 day ago2 MIN
Summary
The ballot results for the special sale plan for Wang Fuk Court owners were announced on September 15, with some applicants drawing top numbers and preparing for the next stage of choosing replacement flats.
The first-ranked owner, Mr Chan from Wang Shing House, said he was delighted and expected to focus “90%” on Kai Tak, mainly to suit the preferences of younger family members and for the convenience of his children in the longer term.
Another owner with an early ballot number, Mr Au, said he hoped to find a flat comparable to his original Wang Fuk Court home and was considering urban projects in Kowloon Bay and Kai Tak.
Both owners said price, flat size and timing would be key considerations, with concerns including units priced above HK$4 million, a handover only around 2028, and a limited supply of larger flats.
Key Points
- The special sale plan ballot results were released on September 15, formally moving Wang Fuk Court owners into the flat-selection phase.
- First-ranked owner Mr Chan, who previously lived in Wang Shing House, said he was excited and hoped to secure a preferred unit.
- Chan said he would most likely choose Kai Tak, but warned that flats costing more than HK$4 million would be hard to afford.
- Mr Au, another owner with an early number, said his family was discussing strategy and weighing size, price and district carefully.
- Au said larger units were limited this round, making it difficult for most applicants to obtain homes similar in size to Wang Fuk Court.
Why It Matters
For affected owners, the scheme is no longer only about relocation choice but also about whether they can afford a comparable urban home within budget.
The comments from top-ranked applicants suggest that even those with an advantage in the ballot are balancing location, flat size and a long wait for completion before committing.
