The majority of the development has its ownership under the Kadoorie family; in 2019 the majority of residential properties are residential properties, something Christopher DeWolf charasterises as out of the ordinary for an upper class neighbourhood.[3]
History
It was built as a "garden city".[2] It was built by the Hong Kong Engineering & Construction Co., which had been funded by the Kadoorie family as a way to generate money in case the construction business contracted.[3] The company had been established in 1922.[4] The company acquired the first parcels of land that would become Kadoorie Hill in 1930.[3] The purchase had 30 acres (12 ha) of land.[5] The land survey was done beginning in 1931.[6] Sang Lee & Co. served as the contracting crew and had re-formed mountainous terrain.[7]
Education
Kadoorie Hill is in Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 34.[8] Within school net 34 are multiple aided schools (operated independently but funded with government money) and the following government schools: Farm Road [yue] Government Primary School (農圃道官立小學) and Ma Tau Chung Government Primary School (馬頭涌官立小學).[9]
