Housing is currently one of the highest priority issues in Hong Kong society. Increasing transitional housing is one of the policy measures of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to improve grassroots living and support vulnerable communities.

The United Court Transitional Housing Project is the first fully completed and operational transitional housing project in Hong Kong, consisting of 2,076 building modules with a construction area of 37,221 square meters. In terms of overall layout, different room types are designed, including single, double, triple, 4-5 person, and suitable for people with disabilities, totaling 1,800 units, to meet the needs of different families and individuals. Inside each room, corresponding living facilities are provided according to people’s daily living needs.

The housing has a service life of up to 50 years. Its durability and mobility make it cost less than traditional housing. Modular construction is not affected by weather conditions, and it is also ideal in terms of progress management, quality control, and safe construction, saving more than 50% of construction time compared to traditional construction methods, which can effectively help Hong Kong quickly build transitional housing and efficiently alleviate housing pressure.

According to the local government’s plan, the project will be relocated to another project site in five years. Due to the mobility of the modular construction system, it can meet the government’s flexible planning for land use, reuse the modules, and relocate to a new location for continued use, which also conforms to the green and sustainable environmental protection concept.
