History
Hang Lung Group Limited was founded by Mr. Chan Tseng-Hsi on September 13, 1960. It gradually become one of Hong Kong's biggest real estate developers. The Group is considered as one of the best run companies in Hong Kong. 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 sovereignty. However thanks to effective management, Hang Lung survived the dark period. At present, the Group operates businesses in property development for sale and lease in Hong Kong. Its investment properties are very diversified, ranging from retail, office, residential and serviced apartment developments to industrial and office complexes.

On January 1, 1991, Mr. Ronnie Chan took over as the Group's new Chairman. He foresaw the golden opportunity to invest in the Mainland China market due to its prosperous economic growth. The Group then turned to its new direction and venture into the Mainland market under Chan's leadership. Its first step into the Mainland in Shanghai in 1992 was two landmark properties, Plaza 66 and Grand Gateway 66. Seeing the success of the Shanghai projects, the Group continued to expand its business to others parts of the Mainland such as Shenyang, Jinan, Wuxi, Tianjin, Dalian, and Kunming. With its accomplishment in the Mainland, the Group will continue to expand its presence and strive for its goal in becoming the most prominent mega national enterprise in the market.
