Transitional housing projects

The Group firmly believes in a collaborative approach to eliminate subdivided units and improve living standards for lowincome families in Hong Kong. Henderson Land is the first developer in Hong Kong to support the HKSAR Government’s transitional housing initiatives. As part of the initiative, the Group has offered land and temporary vacant units in both urban areas and the New Territories to relieve the pressure on those with urgent housing needs.

Kong Ha Wai transitional housing project
Being the largest of its kind in Hong Kong, the project was completed in 2023. After a year of moving in, the project, along with a full suite of amenities and community services including a supermarket, clinics and canteens, has transformed into a well-developed community which greatly enhanced the residents’ quality of life, bringing them increased satisfaction and joy.

Building a sense of connection and belonging among the residents is equally important to us. During the year, we have supported and facilitated various activities for the residents, including a Mid-Autumn Festival carnival and a Children’s Flour Dough Workshop for the children.

A festive carnival was organised at the Kong Ha Wai transitional housing project on the eve of the MidAutumn Festival. Families came together under the enchanting moonlight, rejoicing over lantern riddles, booth games, performances and a lucky draw.

To share in the joy of the festival and extend our blessings, the Henderson Warmth Volunteer Team prepared special gift bags and distribute them to more than 1,600 households. It was a memorable night of love, laughs and treats!

Henderson Warmth Volunteer Team workshop
Henderson Warmth Volunteer Team organised a Dough Workshop for the children living in Kong Ha Wai transitional housing project. The event was designed to acquaint children with the enchanting world of traditional Chinese folk art through a handson experience. Guided by a master dough figurine artist with over 20 years of expertise, the children were thoroughly engaged, creating their own distinctive and charming panda-shaped flour doughs and delighting fully in the creative endeavour.

The NAScenT in Kam Tin and the Ngau Tam Mei South transitional housing project
The NAScent comprises two residential blocks and one amenity block and is conveniently situated on Kam Po Road, Yuen Long. The project is just a few minutes’ walk from Kam Sheung Road station. It is expected to accommodate some 2,800 residents concurrently in its over 1,000 units. In addition to discounted rents, a supermarket, restaurants, clinics and recreational facilities are among some of the community services and amenities to be provided to residents. The NAScent has been completed, and tenants are gradually moving in starting from early 2024.

For the transitional housing in Ngau Tam Mei South, with construction having commenced in January 2024, and with a completion date targeted for 2025, is set to offer over 1,200 units for approximately 2,800 residents. The development’s initial plans call for the erection of three four-storey domestic blocks and one two-storey amenity block.
