Residential blocks

The estate is divided into three phases by the order of their development, offering a total of 6768 units.[3] Phase 1 consists of 6 blocks completed in 1996. Phase 2 consists of 11 blocks completed in 2000. Phase 3, also called The Metropolis (Chinese: 都會豪庭),[4] consists of 4 blocks completed in 2002.[5]

Shopping centre

Each phase of Metro City has its own shopping centre. The shopping centre is the largest in Tseung Kwan O and covers 1.5 million square feet in size. It houses a department store, two grocery stores, a wet market, and over 400 shops. There are two cinemas in Tseung Kwan O, one is located at Metro City.

Footbridges connect the three shopping centres.[6] Surrounding housing estates such as The Pinnacle, Verbena Heights, Po Lam Estate, and Yan Ming Court also have direct pedestrian access to Metro City through footbridges.
