The company’s G.I.V.E. Sustainability Strategy is paving the way for a greener, more inclusive real estate sector, setting new benchmarks for sustainable development in Hong Kong and beyond.
In an era where global concerns center around environmental consciousness and social responsibility, the real estate industry has emerged as a key player driving sustainable change in communities worldwide.
With a heightened awareness of the consequences of uncontrolled urbanization and irresponsible development, individuals, governments, and organizations are actively seeking innovative ways to balance economic growth with ecological preservation. As a result, the influence of the real estate industry now extends well beyond property transactions and construction. It carries a profound responsibility to reshape urban landscapes in ways that strike an ecological balance and foster social inclusivity.
In a significant achievement that underscores its unwavering commitment to sustainability and pioneering urban development, the Henderson Land Development Company Limited has earned the prestigious title of Developer of the Year at the esteemed Real Estate Asia Awards. This award is a testament to Henderson Land's dedication to delivering innovative and sustainable projects that make a positive impact on communities while aligning with global sustainability objectives.
Central to Henderson Land's success lies its G.I.V.E. Sustainability Strategy: Green for Planet, Innovation for Future, Value for People, and Endeavour for Community.
These pillars serve as guiding beacons, aligning the company's operations with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and shaping its projects to be holistic, forward-thinking, and community-centric.
Pioneering sustainable architectural icons
Henderson Land's remarkable achievements include The Henderson, a super Grade A commercial building conceived as "a new architectural icon in the 21st century." This visionary project is meticulously designed to enhance well-being and productivity while combatting the challenges of climate change, setting new standards in unconventional user experiences and benchmarks.
As a pioneering force in sustainability, Henderson Land ensures that this project strongly embodies its sustainability vision, incorporating forward-thinking considerations to fulfill its commitment to fostering innovation for a sustainable future.
The exceptional features of the building, such as the "Solar Responsive Ventilator," which harnesses renewable solar energy for facade cooling, exemplify the company's unwavering dedication to sustainable and innovative design.
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Henderson Land demonstrated its ability to transform challenges into opportunities by integrating health and well-being considerations into its developments. The "One Innovale" residential project in Fanling North serves as a testament to this approach.
Being the first residential development in Hong Kong to attain both WELL v2 Platinum Level Pre-certification and China Healthy Building (v2) 3-Star recognition, it effectively addresses pandemic concerns while establishing new benchmarks for "healthy building" design.
Building sustainable neighbourhoods
Henderson Land's unwavering commitment to creating sustainable neighborhoods is prominently demonstrated through its urban renewal initiatives. A notable example is Baker Circle, a multi-phase mixed-use development that is transforming Whampoa into a lively, pedestrian-friendly area. Similarly, the ARTLANE project in Sai Ying Pun underscores Henderson Land's dedication to both community well-being and environmental sustainability. These endeavors are perfectly aligned with the company's overarching mission of crafting vibrant and sustainable urban spaces.
Henderson Land's accolades extend well beyond being honored as the Developer of the Year at the Real Estate Asia Awards. The company has been bestowed with the prestigious Business Leadership in Sustainability Award at the WorldGBC Asia Pacific Leadership in Green Building Awards 2022. Furthermore, it has also received the Pioneer Award in Green Building Leadership (Developer) at the Green Building Award 2021. These recognitions underscore the profound influence and impact of Henderson Land in advancing sustainable building practices, not only in Hong Kong but also on the international stage.
With a strong track record of attaining numerous green and healthy building accreditations in the private sector in Hong Kong, Henderson Land has firmly established itself as a frontrunner in the realm of sustainable development.
The company's dedication to innovation, quality, and environmental responsibility has set it apart in the real estate industry. As Henderson Land continues to push the boundaries of what's possible, its enduring legacy remains that of constructing high-quality, sustainable projects while nurturing and enhancing the well-being of the communities it serves.
