Telford Gardens (Chinese: 德福花園; Cantonese Yale: Dākfūk fāyún) is a private housing estate located above the MTR Kowloon Bay Depot and alongside Kowloon Bay station in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong. It was jointly built by Hang Lung Properties and Hopewell Holdings. Being the first property development project of the Mass Transit Railway, the estate is now managed by the corporation.
The estate comprises a total of 41 residential blocks completed between 1980 and 1982, organised by alphabetical order (from A to U), with only Block L not sharing its lobby with a twin block. There are 4,992 flats in total. At first, many flats in Blocks R, S and T were bought by the Hong Kong Government as houses for its firemen and policemen, as well as by airlines for their employees as the Estate is near the former Kai Tak Airport, closed 1998. Most of these properties are now back on the private market.
