Wong Chuk Hang Depot
While the main station will take up the North of the former Wong Chuk Hang Estate site, an underground depot will be built in the south. This depot will service and maintain South Island Line trains. The depot will be completely sealed, and will exist on sunken ground, to avoid noise pollution to areas nearby.
Atop the depot a residential estate will be developed by MTR. It will comprise 14 blocks with about 4,700 flats, as well as a commercial element.[2]
