Forgive us NOT!

So Uk Estate (Chinese: 蘇屋邨) is an early public housing estate in the northern area So Uk, a downhill in Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The estate was built alongside of squatter areas. The squatter was later demolished for the construction of the estate of 16 blocks in 1960. The blocks were called "Houses" and named after varieties of flowers. Unlike many public housing estates built afterward, the architectural design of the estates is unique in Hong Kong. As of 2008, over 48 years, the structure is still in good condition but its estimated high maintenance cost made the Hong Kong Housing Authority decide to demolish the six blocks in March 2012 .
