At the heart of Chinachem
“The future for Chinachem centres around maximising our positive impact. Creating better environments, stronger communities and shared value throughout.”

Whilst we’re one of Hong Kong’s largest real estate businesses, we hold in our heart a promise to improve the lives of those we touch, by always aligning profit with purpose.
That special pledge, to make a long lasting, positive impact on society is the driving force behind everything we do. And to achieve it, we take a balanced approach to business.
To us, people, prosperity, and the planet all matter equally.

Listening and developing
The Chinachem Group is starting a journey of transformation. Our goal is to better reflect the needs and desires of the communities that surround us, make what we do more sustainable, protect our planet and ensure we always deliver positive impact to society.
To chart the right course, we must first recognise the problems that need to be solved. And understanding, starts with listening. Recently, CEO Donald Choi met with a number of people who shared with him their views on how residential life in Hong Kong could be improved. Young parents, first-time buyers, the elderly, and students all contributed their opinions. Donald also chatted with award-winning architect Ken Shuttleworth, on how innovation and smarter thinking could improve the built environment of Hong Kong.
The conversations have started.
Change is coming.
