History
The quarter was constructed in there in 1932, then known as the "May 28th Houses" in commemoration of the Portuguese Reformation Day.
The two-storey buildings stood in two lines on top of rectangular foundations with chopsticks shape, hence the name "Fai Chi Kei" in Cantonese.
Later, the original houses were rebuilt to become a public rental housing project surrounded by reclaimed land. Designed by Manuel Vicente, the complex was supposed to be four buildings, but instead two 6-storey complexes were built with an inner courtyard.
Redevelopment
The housing project has since disappeared[1] and demolished to make way for The Praia, a large residential development.
Healthcare
The Macau government operates a public health centre in Santo António, near Bairro Fai Chi Kei.[2]
