Florient Rise (; previously known as Cherry Street Project, ) is a private housing estate situated on Cherry Street in Tai Kok Tsui, within the Yau Tsim Mong District of Kowloon, Hong Kong, close to Olympic station. This development, a collaboration between Nan Fung Group and the Urban Renewal Authority (URA), reached completion in May 2009. The estate comprises three residential towers offering a total of 522 units.
History
Following the establishment of the URA in 2001, the Cherry Street Project was among its earliest redevelopment efforts. The location formerly housed aging mixed-use structures, from which all previous occupants were relocated. In line with its typical approach, the URA partnered with private developers for this project; on 22 July 2004, Nan Fung Development won the bid, surpassing eight competing developers.
Features
Florient Rise consists of three residential towers encompassing 522 apartments. The estate also incorporates West 9 Zone, a retail complex with a focus on children's themes, aimed at enriching local community facilities.
Education
The estate falls under Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 32, which includes several aided schools—institutions independently managed yet receiving government funding—and Tong Mei Road Government Primary School (塘尾道官立小學).
Hoi Ming Court incident
Hoi Ming Court, a residential block located within the original Cherry Street Project site, was not included in the redevelopment due to its relatively recent construction date. Nan Fung Development sought to acquire this block for integration into the project but withdrew after flat owners demanded acquisition prices that were considered excessive. As a result, Florient Rise was constructed surrounding Hoi Ming Court.
