History
The present station concourse was constructed on the site of the former Sai Wan Ho Market, which was previously managed by the Urban Council. Construction work started in May 1982 under two separate contracts. The station tunnels, measuring 7.6 metres in diameter, were built by the Japanese company Nishimatsu Construction, overcoming difficult geological challenges. The off-street concourse was developed by a consortium comprising Gammon Construction, Kier, and the Scottish firm Lilley. This structure employed diaphragm wall techniques and was engineered to support both an Urban Council facility and the Felicity Garden residential complex above.
Sai Wan Ho station officially opened on 31 May 1985 as part of the initial segment of the Island line.
