Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) announced the recent topping out of Guangzhou South Station ICC, marking a major milestone for this integrated station-city hub in the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Building on its proven expertise, SHKP is developing Guangzhou South Station ICC as a large-scale transit oriented development (TOD) with an overall layout of “commerce to the east, transport to the west”. The office component includes One ICC and Two ICC, both of which have now topped out. One ICC is scheduled for completion and handover in the second half of 2026 and has already achieved strong leasing momentum. An international hotel brand has been secured and discussions are underway with several foreign banks, healthcare groups and trading companies for the remaining space.

The retail complex has been officially named Parc Central (Guangzhou South) and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026. Managed by the same team behind the successful Parc Central in Guangzhou, it will bring vibrant shopping and leisure experiences to local residents, GBA consumers and visitors from further afield.

The first phase of Forest Park, the residential portion, was successfully handed over in the first half of 2025. With superior amenities, professional property management and extensive transportation network, Forest Park sets a new benchmark for quality living in the area.

SHKP Southern China Region General Manager Sam Lai said: “Guangzhou South Station ICC will become a new landmark in the GBA, integrating premium business facilities, convenient transport and a diverse mix of uses. It will inject new momentum into the Guangzhou South Station district and contribute to the high quality development of the GBA.”

Guangzhou South Station ICC enjoys a strategic transport advantage with seamless connectivity to Guangzhou South Station, the country’s busiest high speed rail station, and direct access to 12 rail lines, including high-speed, intercity and metro services, as well as five expressways. Trips from Hong Kong West Kowloon High Speed Rail Terminus to Guangzhou South Station can take as little as 47 minutes, seamlessly linking Guangzhou South Station ICC with SHKP’s flagship IGC, which sits directly above West Kowloon Terminus, and ICC nearby—creating powerful synergies across the GBA. This synergy contributes to realizing the “One-Hour Living Circle” envisioned for the area.  The project also capitalizes on high-speed rail connectivity to major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, where SHKP also boasts major integrated projects, with the fastest services taking under eight hours, extending its reach to key national hubs.
 
Within Guangzhou, transport connectivity continues to improve with the opening of the Haizhu Bay Tunnel, the Guangzhou East Ring Intercity Railway and the Extension Section of Guangzhou Metro Line 22. As a result, from Guangzhou South Station, it takes just 15 minutes to reach the city centre and 28 minutes to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, significantly shortening cross-district commuting times, strengthening links with the city’s core business districts and further enhancing the strategic location of Guangzhou South Station.

Title-sponsored for the first time by Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited (SHKP), The Community Chest Sun Hung Kai Properties Corporate Challenge 2026 – the first fundraising event of the year organised by The Community Chest (the Chest) – was successfully held today at Sai Kung Country Parks in Pak Tam Chung.

This year’s event saw a record turnout, bringing together 1,077 runners from 63 organisations, forming 131 teams to compete in the half marathon and 10K races, the largest number of participating organisations to date. In addition, 21 organisations made generous donations in support of the event. Together, participants and donors raised over HK$6.89 million, the highest amount ever recorded for this event. Of this, HK$3.5 million came from SHKP’s title sponsorship.

The starting ceremony was officiated by Mr Thomas Kwok and Mr Carmelo Lee, Co-Chairmen of The Community Chest Sun Hung Kai Properties Corporate Challenge Organizing Committee, alongside SHKP Project Director Mr Dominic Kwok, Committee Members Mr Nathan Lee and Mr Jason Tan. 

Co-Chairman of the Organising Committee and SHKP-Kwoks’ Foundation Director Mr Thomas Kwok said: “SHKP is committed to promoting the spirit of ‘Sports for Charity’ and has long supported various charitable sporting events. We are honoured to be the title sponsor of The Community Chest Corporate Challenge this year, and we sincerely thank all the organisations and runners for their participation and support. All donations raised today will go directly to member agencies funded by the Chest, without any deduction for administrative expenses, to provide effective social welfare services for those in need.”

Other notable supporters included Co-Chairman of the Organising Committee Dr Edward Cheung, SHKP Executive Director Mr Mike Wong and SHKP Project Director Mr Dominic Kwok, who took on the challenge of the half marathon and 10K races respectively.

The Chest expressed its deep gratitude to SHKP for its support. Since the launch of The Community Chest Corporate Challenge in 1995, SHKP has been a longstanding partner. In the past two years, Mr Thomas Kwok and the Sun Hung Kai Properties Charitable Fund jointly donated HK$3.5 million annually and sponsored event expenses, while Royal Hotels, a subsidiary of SHKP, provided refreshments for runners. This year, SHKP once again pledged HK$3.5 million as the title sponsorship for the event. The Chest also extended its thanks to Woo Kwan Lee & Lo, Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings Limited, and the Athletics Veterans of Hong Kong, the event co-organiser, for their valuable support.
