Daring to Dream: The Visionary Leadership of Hachi Yin
For Hachi Yin, dreams are more than just aspirations—they serve as blueprints for success. From Melbourne to Phuket, his unwavering belief in the power of dreams has propelled him to establish Utopia Corporation as a leading real estate and hospitality development firm in the Asia-Pacific region. Guided by the motto “Dare to Dream,” Hachi has built a thriving business that redefines modern living and luxury experiences.
A Passion for Business from an Early Age
Hachi Yin’s entrepreneurial spirit emerged early in life. Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, he launched his first business at just six years old, running a locker shop selling second-hand toys. By the age of 12, he had started an eBay business, and at 20, he founded his first company in the telemarketing sector. Before turning 21, Hachi purchased his first property, igniting a passion for real estate that would define his career.
Expanding Horizons: From Melbourne to Phuket
After graduating from Victoria University, Hachi joined International Property Advisory Limited in Melbourne. However, his ambitions extended beyond Australia. In 2012, he booked a one-way ticket to Phuket, Thailand, to co-found the company’s Thai division. This bold move led to the founding of Utopia Corporation in 2015, marking the start of Hachi’s visionary leadership in the real estate market across Asia.
Transforming Phuket’s Real Estate Landscape
As CEO of Utopia Corporation, Hachi has driven the company’s rapid growth and innovation. Within four years, Utopia successfully developed 10 real estate projects in Phuket valued at over THB 8 billion. His innovative introduction of themed condos and residences has revolutionized the market, offering visually stunning, social media-friendly living spaces that appeal to modern buyers.
Everything starts with daring to dream and daring to do. When we just dare to follow our dreams, abilities that we never knew we had will manifest themselves – Hachi Yin
Utopia’s Global Luxury Collaborations
Hachi’s vision extends beyond real estate to building a global lifestyle brand. A key milestone is the partnership with Tonino Lamborghini, the iconic Italian luxury label. Together, they are launching the Tonino Lamborghini Boutique Hotel Phuket in 2024, setting a new standard for luxury hospitality in Thailand. Additional collaborations with major global fashion brands will further elevate Utopia’s prestige and appeal.
