The Henderson: Redefining Excellence in Sustainable Design
The Henderson, one of the Group’s most iconic projects, epitomises its commitment to architectural innovation and environmental responsibility. Designed by the world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, the building reimagines the natural form of the Bauhinia flower, symbolising Hong Kong’s resilience and renewal. It is the only super Grade A building in Hong Kong to achieve ten Platinum certifications across multiple sustainability and smart technology standards, including WELL, LEED, BEAM Plus, SmartScore, WiredScore, ActiveScore, and ModeScore. The building’s digital twin technology enables real-time ESG data monitoring, while its Sky Garden promotes health and well-being through biophilic design and mindful wellness spaces. In 2024, Henderson Land launched its ESG Partnership Programme, the first of its kind in the industry, invites tenants and employees to contribute to shared environmental goals, using data analytics and behavioural incentives to track and improve collective performance. Through its integration of art, technology, and sustainability, The Henderson serves as a living ecosystem where innovation and nature coexist harmoniously.
