In the 1960s, the government initiated development in Ngau Tau Kok, conducting reclamation projects that gradually transformed it into a mixed-use residential and commercial development area. With the growth of residential areas, the MTR Ngau Tau Kok Station was opened in 1979 to meet the increasing population demand. In 2012, the government launched the Kowloon East Initiative, leading to the redevelopment of commercial buildings near Ngau Tau Kok and enhancing the overall community environment.
