Hang Lung Group was founded by Mr. Chan Tseng-Hsi on September 13, 1960, and Mr. Ronnie C. Chan took over as Chair of the Group in 1991. After establishing a solid foundation for its business in Hong Kong, Hang Lung has been expanding across the Mainland since the early 1990s. Today we have developed 11 world-class commercial complexes in nine Mainland cities, with more than 30 million square feet of completed projects and 20 million square feet of projects under development. Our Mainland portfolio accounts for 54% of the Company's overall rental income, and Hong Kong for the other 46% in the first half of 2020.

The First Ever Large-scale Community Services Event Jointly organized across Hong Kong and Mainland to Spread the Spirit of Love
 
While Hang Lung continues to expand its footprints, it strives to contribute to the communities and create value both for business and the community through community programs and volunteering activities. To mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Hang Lung Group this year, around 1,000 corporate volunteers from Hong Kong and nine Mainland cities joined forces on September 19 in the first ever large-scale community services event to provide support to some 4,500 underprivileged people in various local communities.
  
Facilitating Youth Learning
 
Hong Kong
The blow dealt by COVID-19 in Hong Kong this year has left many families facing great financial difficulty. Underprivileged students in particular have faced challenges in their daily lives and their studies, with a lack of online resources severely impeding their learning progress. Taking this opportunity to serve, the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Team teamed up with St James’ Settlement and Principal Chan Free Tutorial World to prepare “Welcome Back to School Kits” for 150 students. These pupils can now start the new school year healthily and happily with new gadgets and other necessities, without their families being burdened financially.
 
Our Hong Kong volunteers made pressed flower rulers and mosaic pen holders, which came with other learning items, including data SIM cards, parent-child training tools, school bags, stationery, water bottles, kids’ masks, hand sanitizers and so on, in “Welcome Back to School Kits” for students most affected by the pandemic.

The “Welcome Back to School Kit” has not only relieved us of the need to buy study items, but it has also boosted my child’s morale and motivation to work harder in the forthcoming year.
  
A Primary 3 Student
