Tenant Engagement – Social and Wellness
We work to create social and wellness initiatives that connect our tenants with each other and with the wider community.
Taikoo Place Business Network
Taikoo Place Business Network
The Taikoo Place Business Network is a dynamic platform that connects tenants of Taikoo Place, offering networking opportunities that promote relationship-building among attendees from a variety of diverse companies. Supported by Taikoo Place and Swire Properties, quarterly events are organised to enhance participants' professional growth and build meaningful connections.
Each event features business leaders and guest speakers who share valuable insights, welcoming tenants and the broader business community. In 2024, the network held the “Secrets of a CEO” series, designed to help participants master essential business and life principles. This initiative attracted around 200 delegates from various industries, creating a dynamic environment for networking and collaboration.
Tenant Sports and Wellness Events
PROJECT AFTER 6: Padel Tour 2024
PROJECT AFTER 6: Padel Tour 2024
From May to August 2024, driven by our community’s increasing focus on the importance of wellness and achieving work-life harmony, we installed a pop-up padel court at Taikoo Place. Padel is a popular racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash.
The temporary court targeted our Taikoo Place community – office tenants, residents and daily visitors – and the general Hong Kong population. This was the first full-scale, professional padel court in Hong Kong, giving Taikoo Place visitors and workers a glimpse into this emerging sport. More than 1,000 hours of introductory padel sessions were offered to the Taikoo Place community and the public, and over 6,400 people took part. The court, located in front of One Island East, also gave bystanders a front-row seat to the competition as 36 teams from 25 companies battled for supremacy.
The campaign helped strengthen Taikoo Place’s “A Great Place To Be” brand, and reinforced the fact that Taikoo Place is a community that appreciates happiness as key to improving productivity. Due to the campaign’s overwhelming popularity, we are now exploring an alternative venue to install a semi-permanent padel court in 2025.

The annual Corporate Wellness Challenge: 8-Hour Charity Spin returned for a fifth time on 25 October 2024. One of the staple events of Taikoo Place, the Charity Spin promotes workplace positivity and healthy living while raising money for a good cause.
This time around, more than 500 office executives including both spinners and spectators from 13 tenant companies took part, raising over HKD240,000. New for this year was a pre-event “Spin It Yourself” smoothie pop-up which ran from 14-25 October, widening the fan base of the event. More than 500 office tenants enjoyed the pop-up.
