January 16 marked the company’s golden jubilee. Following an employee celebration and the Henderson Land x Pok Oi Central Harbourfront Charity Run 2026 held earlier in January, the developer organized two additional events over the weekend ahead of the Lunar New Year.
A total of 3,500 seniors, youths and grassroots families were invited to take part in a reunion dinner and a community fun day to celebrate the festive season.
Last Saturday, Henderson Land invited 300 elderly residents from two transitional housing projects — Pok Oi Kong Ha Wai Village and The NAScent in Kam Tin — as well as seniors from the Christian Family Service Centre in Kwun Tong, to attend a reunion dinner at The Mira Hong Kong.
The gathering featured activities including booths showcasing the intangible cultural heritage craft of sugar blowing, a lucky draw and a children’s lion dance performance, giving seniors the opportunity to socialize and expand their networks.
Lawmakers, government officials, non-governmental organization partners, business representatives and members of the Henderson Warmth Volunteer Team also attended to welcome the Year of the Horse.

Volunteers interacted with the elderly and wrote red couplets to convey New Year wishes. Each participant received a blessing bag containing festive foods and practical gifts such as scarves.
On Sunday, a community fun day was held at the Central Waterfront in collaboration with more than 20 nonprofit groups, including Caritas Hong Kong, the Children’s Cancer Foundation, Make-A-Wish Hong Kong, as well as community living rooms and schools.
More than 3,200 seniors, youths, grassroots families and children with illnesses visited the AIA Carnival as part of the event.
Performance groups from the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, the Hong Kong Dance Company and Be SMOVE Karate Fitness delivered music, dance and karate demonstrations at the Henderson Land Community Arena.
The company said more events and special projects will be launched throughout the year as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations.
