Innovating Urban Redevelopment through Art Living

Henderson Land is an innovator when it comes to urban redevelopment. We take a wholesome approach, focusing on what matters to the community from a “lifestyle” perspective. We have revitalised the area by dedicating a portion of the site for public use, refurbishing public pavements and stairs, and allocating resources to introduce elements of art and culture to the neighbourhood. Henderson Land’s ARTLANE is the embodiment of innovative urban redevelopment. It is an urban renewal project in Sai Ying Pun, to the west of Central, Hong Kong's main business district.

As is typical of older parts of urban Hong Kong dating back to the 1950’s, this neighbourhood is somewhat hidden from the more visible part of Sai Ying Pun, surrounded by narrow dark lanes, old shops, storage units and buildings that are quite dilapidated. We redeveloped certain plots into an exciting urban art SoHo residential area aimed at the younger generation of homebuyers. To meet their aspirations, the surrounding area was transformed to create a more aesthetically pleasing, spacious and much cleaner environment. To add a touch of creativity to our redevelopment works, we also added street art works. Seventeen well-known local and international muralists were invited to inject vitality and art into the urban landscape of Sai Ying Pun using creativity, brushstrokes and style. Different spaces in the community, such as walls, streets and even the stairs have been transformed into canvases, presenting 26 beautiful large-scale murals. ARTLANE is Hong Kong's first URBAN ART SOHO community that is revitalised with murals by Henderson Land. The murals, together with the street beautification and enhancement works, have created a more pleasant living space for the local residents. The street art has been very popular with the public and continues to attract visitors, as a setting for memorable photos. The area has also become popular for location shooting by, among others, Hong Kong and Korean televisions stations. The art works were featured by the Hong Kong Tourism Board during its Hong Kong Art Basel promotion in March 2019 amongst other famous tourist spots, including Tai Kwun, Xiqu Centre and Avenue of Stars.

Belgravia Place

Belgravia Place, located on Nam Cheong Street, blends modern design with sustainable features, creating a unique urban space. The iconic arches, made from red brick and paired with vertical green walls, define the structure, while the layout of the internal streets connects the ground level to loft-style designs, offering multifunctional spaces. The shops feature 3.6-metre-high floor-to-ceiling glass windows, with their curved shapes enhancing the pedestrian experience by allowing a more open, visually engaging environment. During the day, natural light floods into the interior, illuminating the space and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that encourages exploration and interaction. This design choice not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also promotes a connection between the indoor and outdoor environments, making the shopping experience more enjoyable for visitors.
