Transitional Housing

To alleviate the hardship faced by families living in adverse conditions while waiting for public housing, Henderson Land has been an active supporter of the transitional housing initiative. We have employed a highly efficient and environmentally friendly building approach, the Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) method, which shortens construction time and minimised the waste generated during the construction process. The Group is the largest provider of temporary vacant units for transitional housing and initiated Hong Kong’s largest transitional housing project in Kong Ha Wai, Yuen Long. The Group is revitalising the nearby Kong Ha Wai Mansion, a Grade III historic building, which will provide future residents with a social space and a range of community services. Also, our Nam Cheong 220 transitional housing project completed in 2020 is the first-of-its-kind modular transitional housing project in Hong Kong. Two new projects in Kam Tin and Ngau Tam Mei South are now underway to provide housing in the near future for families in need.

Henderson Land has contributed nearly 300 temporary vacant units in urban areas for 15 transitional housing projects to date, benefitting around 1,700 people from around 550 low-income families. As for the Kong Ha Wai project, it will provide 1,998 modular housing units and is expected to accommodate some 40,000 residents throughout the whole project period. The first phase of the project was completed in early 2022, while the second phase will be completed in second half of 2022. The new Kam Tin and Ngau Tam Mei South projects will also provide approximately 1,020 and 1,200 housing units respectively. To date, the Nam Cheong 220 project has cumulatively accommodated 94 households and 175 residents since 2020.
