Hong Kong Parkview is the largest private housing estate in Tai Tam, Hong Kong.[1] It is located at Mount Nicholson, Wong Nai Chung Gap, with the east of Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park. It is surrounded by Tai Tam Country Park.
Description[]
Each block is 20 storeys tall. The estate comprises a total of 984 flats.[2]
History[]
It consists of 18 blocks opened in 1989 by Chyau Fwu and designed by Wong Tung & Partners.[3] It is managed by the today.
Being surrounded by protected lands on all sides, the development was criticised after opening for spoiling the serenity of Tai Tam Country Park.[4][5]
In 2004, undercover officers from the Home Affairs Department stayed overnight at Hong Kong Parkview, and found that it offered services akin to that of a hotel. Parkview (Suites) Limited and Tri-view Limited were thus fined HK$20,000 for operating a hotel without a licence, as is required under the Hotel and Guesthouse Accommodation Ordinance.[6] Parkview appealed the fines, arguing that they operated within a technical loophole, but the appeal was rejected by the Court of Final Appeal in 2006.[6]
Murder incident[]
On 2 November 2003, Robert Kissel, the Asia-Pacific managing director of global principal products of Merrill Lynch, was bludgeoned to death by his wife, Nancy Kissel, after having their young daughter bring him a milkshake laced with sleep medicine.[7][8][9]
