We work to create social and wellness initiatives that connect our tenants with each other and with the wider community.
Health, Wellness and Work-Life Balance at Taikoo Place
Finding and maintaining an equilibrium that gives equal weight to work, health and people’s social lives is becoming a top priority for society. In 2023, Taikoo Place worked to become a leader in creating this balance, spearheading a range of lifestyle initiatives and activities that add value to the work week and amplify leisure time.
Taikoo Place Wellness Series
In October and November, Taikoo Place hosted the “Taikoo Place Wellness Series”, encompassing a line-up of programmes to activate an optimal work-life balance for office tenants. The campaign supported the idea of embracing wellbeing outside of the office to help people relax and mentally and physically restore themselves, delivering an exceptional “beyond the office” experience to participants.
The campaign included “Workout x Lunch” fitness workshops, which offered a diverse range of workout sessions suitable for everyone, including high intensity full-body workouts, core training, yoga, stretching, and indoor golf, with a complimentary healthy lunch. More than 200 participants took part in the activities.
We held our “Corporate Wellness Challenge: 8-Hour Charity Spin” event again this year, offering office tenants the opportunity to bring wellness – and collaboration – into the workplace. The event promotes a positive, healthy-living vibe for the workplace while also raising money for charity. More than 550 office executives from 12 tenant companies took part this year, raising over HKD310,000, of which HKD150,000 was contributed by Swire Properties.

PROJECT AFTER 6
Launched in 2014, PROJECT AFTER 6 is an engagement programme that strengthens connections between office colleagues by bringing art, music and entertainment into the work environment and tapping into unexplored talents. The programme helps cultivate a pleasant, cohesive work environment and creates positive impacts for our tenants and their employees, leading to a more integrated community and greater business success. The 2023 version of the project involved a musical play and a series of live performances.
PROJECT AFTER 6: Mou Man Tai, the English Musical
PROJECT AFTER 6: Mou Man Tai is a companion piece to the popular musical comedy “Cube Culture”, which was staged in 2018 by Swire Properties and the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (“HKYAF”) and drew talent from our tenants and working professionals from all over Hong Kong.
The play is a Hong Kong-themed musical drama that looks at different walks of life and encapsulates the city’s uniqueness, diversity and can-do spirit. The auditions attracted 536 applications, of which 15% were from our tenants. Thirty-three people made the shortlist for the cast, five of whom were Taikoo Place tenants. The play was staged at ArtisTree between 14 and 24 June, with donations going to the HKYAF to support its work to make arts available and accessible to all young people in Hong Kong. A total of 947 people attended the 11 performances.

One Citygate’s Tenant Engagement Programme
One Citygate held two tenant engagement events this year as part of its initiative to raise sustainable development awareness and build a like-minded community for our employees and office tenants.
The “Rooftop Pilates for Office Workers” activity was held on 24 February in conjunction with an SD partner. Staff from four offices participated in this relaxing wellness activity, with our SD partner donating USD10 per participant to have one real tree planted via the Tree-Nation platform, whose mission is to contribute to reforestation. On 22 September, the “Underwater Clean-up Dive” was held for the second time following positive feedback from last year. 30 participants from six companies took part in removing underwater rubbish and ghost nets from Sai Kung waters, directly participating in work to protect Hong Kong’s marine environment.
