ABOUT
THE HENDERSON

An Icon Amongst Icons

Nestled in Central, The Henderson is the city’s most spectacular commercial development in the most sought-after location in the world.

Designed by the world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, it is a distinctly bold architectural masterpiece marking a new chapter in our vision. Like Hong Kong’s blooming Bauhinia flower, it stands as a symbol of aspiration, from legacy to future.

Exceptional and unforgettable, The Henderson deservedly takes its place among the world’s most iconic buildings — an icon amongst icons.

Dr. Martin Lee
“My vision is to create a building like no other. Bringing together world-class architecture with our ambition to constantly innovate for people and for the future. To build an icon not just for Hong Kong, but also for the world.”
