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.

For many families living in subdivided flats, everyday life is often confined to limited spaces, making interaction with neighbours a luxury. Henderson Land partnered with Lok Kwan Social Service to support the “Prince Edward Community Living Room”, an initiative under the HKSAR Government designed to enhance community well-being for residents in “subdivided units”. Building on the success of the Nam Cheong Community Living Room, the Group provided a second rent-free space of around 4,800 sq. ft., creating an accessible place for families to gather, join activities and support personal development. The new facility is projected to serve 500 households and generate around 80,000 visits per year, strengthening neighbourhood networks while addressing housing-related social challenges.

Celebrations and shared meals often create the most natural bridges between cultures. Henderson Land supported multi-cultural engagement through moments that matter to different communities, starting with the Lunar New Year and extending into Ramadan, while strengthening Hong Kong’s readiness to welcome Muslim travellers with confidence and respect.

The Group strongly supports a cooperative strategy aimed at removing subdivided housing and enhancing living conditions for low-income families in Hong Kong. Henderson Land was the first developer in the region to back the HKSAR Government’s transitional housing programmes. To assist those facing urgent housing challenges, the Group has made land and temporarily vacant units available in urban areas as well as the New Territories.
