Lam Tin is the hill area at the southeast of Kwun Tong District. There was a resettlement estate in the area called the Lam Tin Resettlement Estate (Chinese: 藍田徙置區) in the 1960s.
The resettlement had in total 23 blocks. Block 15 was also the 500th public estate building constructed by the Works Bureau.
