Highest Rating - Three Star Pioneer Rating in the China Smart Building PreCertification Accreditation achieved
Henderson Land has distinguished itself as a leader in smart building after the Group’s masterpiece, The Henderson, became the first office building to secure the Three Star Pioneer Highest Rating in the China Smart Building Pre-Certification Accreditation. This high-level accolade was awarded by the China Real Estate Association, the body responsible for establishing the national assessment standard for smart building. The Henderson’s performance was evaluated based on a weighted average score across eight core metrics and achieved top score in Information Infrastructure and Innovative Application, while also receiving outstanding scores in Safety and Disaster Prevention, Resource Saving and Utilisation, Service and Convenience, as well as Intelligent Construction. Not only does this resounding success underscore the Group’s unwavering dedication to advancing the development of smart buildings, it also emphasises our commitment to promoting innovation in this field.

R&D100 winner and Gold Medal at International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva 2023
In a significant stride toward innovation and sustainability in the construction industry, we partnered with the Nano and Advanced Materials Institute (“NAMI”) in 2023 to introduce bio-inspired silicone sealant, an awardwinning solution that is well-recognised by R&D100 and International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva 2023.

Bio-inspired silicone sealants play a vital role in effectively sealing gaps and joints in both commercial and residential construction projects. Their versatility extends to household applications, including the sealing of windows and doors, rectifying plumbing leaks, and securing bathroom fixtures.

Nevertheless, a challenge arises when attempting to apply silicone sealants to wet substrates, particularly in the humid subtropical climate like Hong Kong. Optimal adhesion for most silicone sealants necessitates a dry surface, making the application on wet substrates susceptible to inadequate adhesion and weak bonding.

The bio-inspired structural silicone sealants demonstrate superior durability and outperforms other silicone sealant products in the market when being applied to wet surfaces, making it well-suited for application in wet and humid environments like Hong Kong. This breakthrough solution not only enhances the durability and efficiency of construction projects, it also aligns with our commitment to addressing environmental issues by offering an ecofriendly alternative that reduces waste. The sealant is currently under pilot production and we are planning to use it at our construction sites later after mass production.

In 2023, apart from the Gold Medal received from the 48th International Exhibition Inventions Geneva, the bio-inspired silicone sealant has been selected as one of the 100 most Technologically Significant New Products of the year by R&D100 awards. International Exhibition Inventions Geneva is a renowned annual international event that serves as a platform for inventors, researchers, and entrepreneurs to present their novel ideas and cutting-edge technologies to a global audience and showcase ground-breaking inventions and innovations from around the world. R&D100 Awards, often refers to as “The Oscars of Innovation” and the “Nobel Prize of Engineering”, is the only science and technology awards competition with highly significant acknowledgement of new commercial products, technologies and materials science. These two honourable awards provide an exceptional opportunity for the Group to gain recognition, connect with potential investors and partners, and explore further commercialisation projects with our inventions.
