  ## Background
  
  Before Po Tat Estate was constructed, the site was a cement plant and part of the Anderson Road and Po Lam Road were laid on there. Its Phase 1, 2 and 4 consists of 6 blocks and a shopping centre completed in 2001. Another six blocks originally belonged to a HOS estate, Hiu Lam Court (Chinese: 曉琳苑), but they were transferred to rental housing and occupied in 2003.
