Ho Tung Gardens

Residential Buildings

Ho Tung Gardens, also known by its Cantonese name Hiu Kok Yuen, was a villa on the Peak in Hong Kong, built in 1927 by the businessman Robert Hotung and his wife Clara, who called it The Falls before the name Ho Tung Gardens took hold. In 2011 it was graded a Grade I historic building by Hong Kong's Antiquities Advisory Board and declared a proposed historic monument, but negotiations between the owner and the government to preserve it failed, and the mansion was demolished in October 2013.

Has Building Type

Villa, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
