HONG LEONG HOLDINGS LTD

Hong Leong Holdings Limited (HLHL) was established in 1968 as the privately-held property development and investment arm of the Hong Leong Group. As one of the pioneers of the real estate scene in Singapore, HLHL has since emerged as a major player in the property market, making it one of the most sought-after providers of a comfortable home. To date, it manages 8 commercial projects and has developed close to 100 residential properties, including a range of mid to
high-end residential projects in some of the country’s most coveted neighbourhoods.

Looking forward, HLHL continues to seek improvement and expansion in its business while maintaining its distinct level in design, sustainability and customer service.

The Hong Leong Group is one of Singapore’s largest local private sector conglomerates engaged in a wide range of businesses in the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. The Group’s five core businesses are property investment and development, hotel ownership and management, financial services, trade & industry and e-Business.

• Property
  In Singapore, the Group has won a huge reputation as an innovative entrepreneur and a key player in the property market. Through its Singapore-listed City Developments Limited (CDL) and Hong Leong Holdings Ltd, it holds the largest non-government residential land bank, and is rated the largest residential developer as well as the biggest commercial landlord in Singapore’s core Central Business District.
• Hotels
  The Group’s London-listed hotel arm, Millennium & Copthorne Hotels plc (M&C), is Singapore’s largest international hotel group. M&C owns, asset manages and operates over 114 hotels and over 29,000 rooms in 18 countries worldwide. This puts the Group at the top of the league scoreboard among Asia’s hotelier elite boasting worldwide operations, which include subsidiaries New Zealand-listed CDL Hotels New Zealand and Manila-listed Grand Plaza Hotel Corporation.
• Financial Services
  Hong Leong operates Singapore’s largest finance house, Hong Leong Finance Ltd serving customers island-wide. Over the years, Hong Leong Finance has focused on its commitment to serve the man-in-the-street. With total assets of S$7.5 billion in 2006, Hong Leong has consistently been introducing new and enhanced products and services to complement existing ones which cater extensively to the varying needs of its customers.
• Trade & Industry
  Notably, the Group is well entrenched in the expanding China market, represented by Singapore-listed Hong Leong Asia which controls multiple businesses. Its diversified interests, ranging from manufacturing to quarrying and distribution is poised to tap into the region’s emerging markets.
• Corporate Citizenship
  Beyond the bottom line, the Hong Leong Group demonstrates its commitment to community through Hong Leong Foundation, an active corporate sponsor and donor to civic causes and cultural activities at home and abroad.

The Hong Leong Group has a proud record of continuity and stability since its founding in Singapore by Kwek Hong Png in 1941. Today the second generation of Kweks is at the helm, headed by Kwek Leng Beng. It’s a team of star strikers with its sights firmly set on defined goals. To achieve its new vision the Group is now armed with the tools of today’s Information Technology age and a forward-looking, international mindset, in tune with the new millennium.

DP Architects
DP Architects practices as a multidisciplinary design group, One Global Studio, with 1,200 staff, 16 strategically linked international offices from Shanghai to London, 8 associated specialist companies, with a reach of 77 countries around the world.

As the practice of architecture becomes broader and more encompassing, DP recognises the potential of specialisation in our pursuit of a holistic design solution. DP provides a suite of integrated design services through our specialist consultancies.

Since its inception in 1967, DP has designed many of the country’s most important public projects and notable landmarks. Each of these has played a critical role in shaping Singapore’s civic urban landscape and downtown core, by linking spaces of the city in the formation of a continuous urban fabric.

These sites serve as social and cultural anchors for Singapore and as public nodes of human density that have contributed greatly to the city’s success. DP has also been involved with urban projects of immense scale and increasing diversity of function; some of the firm’s works are the largest of their type in the world.
