Metro City Phase 3

Metro City (Chinese: 新都城) is the largest private housing estate and shopping centre in Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong, developed by Henderson Land Development. Built on the reclaimed land in Po Lam, the estate was developed in three phases.

The MTR Po Lam Station, terminus of Tseung Kwan O Line, is located between the three phases. The third phase also serves as the Po Lam public transit terminal.

Residential Buildings

The estate is divided into three phases by the order of their development, offering a total of 6768 units. Phase 1 consists of 6 blocks completed in 1996. Phase 2 consists of 11 blocks completed in 2000. Phase 3, also called The Metropolis (Chinese: 都會豪庭), consists of 4 blocks completed in 2002.

Shopping Centre

Each phase of Metro City has its own shopping centre. The shopping centre is the largest in Tseung Kwan O and covers 1.5 million square metres in size. It houses a department store, two grocery stores, a wet market, and over 400 shops. There are two cinemas in Tseung Kwan O, one is located at Metro City.

Footbridges connect the three shopping centres. Surrounding housing estates such as The Pinnacle, Verbana Heights, Po Lam Estate, and Yan Ming Court also have direct pedestrian access to Metro City through footbridges.
