History

Hang Lung Group was founded by T.H. Chan on 13 September 1960, and is now one of Hong Kong's biggest real estate developers. [3] For the first 32 years, the Group operated its business mainly in Hong Kong. It became well known by developing the largest residential complexes along the Mass Transit Railway. The Hong Kong market suffered from a temporary collapse during the early 1980s due to uncertainty surrounding the territory's return to China, but Hang Lung survived the turmoil. The group operates businesses in property development for sale and lease in Hong Kong. Its investment properties are diversified, ranging from retail and residential developments to industrial and office complexes. [3]

In 1988, it gained control of Parry Corporation in Australia. [4] [5] On 1 January 1991, Ronnie Chan took over as the group's chairman. [3] He foresaw the opportunity to invest in the Mainland China market due to its rapid economic growth. Its first step into the Mainland, in Shanghai in 1992, was with two landmark properties, Plaza 66 and Grand Gateway 66. Following the success of its Shanghai projects, the group continued to expand its business to others parts of the mainland such as Shenyang, Jinan, Wuxi, Tianjin, Dalian, Kunming, and Wuhan. [3]

Since the British colonialisation in 1841 after the First Opium War, Hong Kong has grown from a stony outcrop on the southern coast of China to a territory whose property prices are among the highest in the world. The territory has a land mass of 1,111 km2 (429 sq mi). According to government figures as at 2018, most of the land in Hong Kong is woodland, shrubland and grassland – much of which designated as country parks such as Lion Rock, Plover Cove Country Park and Sai Kung East Country Park, and only approximately 25% of the land mass out of the total territory is classed as "built-up". Most of the 7.3 million people in Hong Kong inhabit an area measuring 78 km2 (30 sq mi). Excluding rural settlement housing, which represents 7% of the city's total domestic households, the remainder of the population is effectively squeezed into an area of 42 km2 (16 sq mi). Property developers play a direct role in housing in Hong Kong, including the hoarding of approximately 1,000 hectares of agricultural land which could otherwise be used for housing.
