Creating a better future
Listening leads our reasoning
Chinachem’s transformation centres around a re-prioritisation from landlord centric thinking to user centric thinking. By putting our tenants, visitors, purchasers, and stakeholders first, we now create environments that enhance user experience. This fresh approach encourages greater interaction and engagement, promotes increased use and footfall, and provides significantly improved experiences.
Understanding the need and desires of our own community before we start our planning processes, changes the nature of the products and services that we create and offer. Consumer led reasoning has been at the heart of our recent place making successes. For example, Central Market has rapidly established itself as a vibrant multipurpose destination, where culture, retail, dining, relaxation, and celebration mix, creating a venue that appeals to almost every demographic of resident and visitor. This is a product of listening.

Looking at the bigger pictureGood news, we’re living longer and healthier.
Chinachem Group started to focus on Hong Kong’s changing demography in these years. Being a property developer, the need to understand the changing requirements of an ageing population was paramount. Taking an integrated approach to senior living, we have gained fresh insights that directly impact the daily lives of so many senior members of our society.
Turning to academia, we have also commenced a long running collaboration with the CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing, looking into improving the provision of high-quality housing and services for the city’s elderly populace. By combining our talent, experience, research, and vision, an opportunity to provide a significantly improved model for ageing in place emerges.

Designing for a different future
In as little as 20 years, almost one third of Hong Kong’s population will be aged 65 or more. Chinachem is already tackling this future shift in demographics with our upcoming Anderson Road project, designing and building specifically for this vital and relevant audience, to create Hong Kong’s first all age community. In partnership with the CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing, our design thinking is being guided by an in depth study of how architecture can have a positive influence on elderly health.
