Public housing on Lantau Island, Hong Kong
This is a list of public housing estates on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
Overview
Future Development
Reclamation works at Tung Chung East and West began in earnest post-2020.
Initial public housing units are slated for handover starting in 2027, ramping up to provide 49,000 flats by 2030 for 144,000 residents. This includes a mix of public rental housing (PRH), Green Form Subsidized Home Ownership Scheme (GSH), and subsidized sale flats (SSF). Under the HKHA's 2025/26–2029/30 forecast, Tung Chung will contribute significantly to the territory-wide target of 166,600 public housing flats, with around 110,100 PRH/GSH units. Private sector involvement is anticipated through land sales for commercial-residential hybrids, potentially adding thousands more market-rate units.
TCNTE ties into the Lantau Tomorrow Vision, which envisions artificial islands near Kau Yi Chau for 260,000–400,000 additional units (70% public housing) starting reclamation in late 2025. While this is separate, it will indirectly boost Tung Chung's role as a logistics and residential hub, leveraging the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge (opened 2018) for cross-border connectivity.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
