The estate is one of the Society's Sandwich Class Housing Scheme projects[1] converted to private developments.[citation needed] It was sold to the public in early 1997 at a discounted price of HK$2,700 per square foot, compared to the HK$4,000 market value at that time.[2] In 1996, the Hong Kong Housing Society had received 6,520 applications for the purchase of a batch of 1,696 units in Radiant Towers and Marina Habitat.[3]
Radiant Towers was completed in 1999,[1] after the project was delayed because of the bankruptcy of one of the contractors.[2] It comprises two 47-floor residential towers,[4] offering a total of 704 units.[1]
