Hysan Development is the biggest landlord in Causeway Bay, with a history tracing back to the turn of the century. Lee Hysan an heir of the Opium Trade business. The site for Hysan place was originally bought from The Jardines for 3.9 million. This site was intended to be an opium refinery. However, due to the global anti-opium movement, the site was converted to the Lee Garden.
“Placemaking breathes life into our office and retail spaces that were not fully utilised in the past. A lobby area at Hysan Place has now been turned into a hotspot which provides regular arts and cultural events. Another part of the same lobby now houses a trendy food and drinks outlet that complements the artistic hub. We also utilise unused spaces throughout our portfolio to strategically showcase new concepts or to host activities such as children’s events. ”
