Kilowatt Court was an apartment building for senior CLP staff built on top of a substation, completed in 1969. It had 12 floors counting the ground floor. It was redeveloped into a new apartment block in around 2020, but still has a substation in the podium.

Kilowatt Court development
I'm beginning to wonder if this block was built in 2 stages.. in the image below (from 1967/8) the tall building right centre frame should be the precursor to Kilowatt court - assuming it was completed in 1969.
However, it looks like it may have potentially been the southern block of Kilowatt Court. In front of it is a smaller low-rise place that might correspond to flats directly facing Boundary Street. So, I wonder if the tall block was built first, then the lower block demolished to make way for a second, high block on the Boundary Street side?
