Peter Lee Ka-kit and Martin Lee Ka-shing, sons of late property tycoon Lee Shau-kee, chairmen of Henderson Land Development (0012), expressed confidence in the group's future, stating that their father had laid a very solid foundation in both real estate and utilities, in an interview with Forbes Asia.
“Five years from now, with our commercial developments in Central completed and green energy projects gradually taking shape, I’m confident our prospects will look bright,”Martin Lee anticipates.
Henderson has focused on developing Hong Kong's central business district in recent years, acquiring several prime sites and developing flagship projects such as The Henderson and Central Yards.
It was reported that the first phase of Central Yards has already pre-leased over 20,700 square meters, accounting for 70 percent of the total office space.
“We didn’t offer steep discounts to attract anchor tenants,” Martin Lee maintains. “The rents we secured were all at strong market rates.”
Besides its real estate business, the group is also actively expanding into the green technology and energy sectors, operating over 1,000 solar projects in Hong Kong and China through Towngas. Total grid-connected solar capacity stood at 2.6GW as of June 30, and the utility’s solar-electricity sales jumped 44 percent in the first half of 2025 from a year earlier.
Peter Lee, as the founder of family office Full Vision Capital, has invested his own funds in 10 green technology startups. These companies were valued at a total of US$6.5 billion (HK$50.8) as of December last year, with cumulative funding of US$2.5 billion.
Peter and Marin Lee, along with their family, have a net worth of US$34.9 billion (HK$272.22 billion).
