Hunza Group has added another milestone to its record amidst a year of celebration for its 45th anniversary. In a star-studded Metro Finance Hong Kong Leaders’ Choice Award Ceremony held on 9 February 2023 in JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, the eminent developer from Penang clinched the Excellent Brand of Overseas Property Developer for the seventh consecutive time. Hunza Group remains the only developer in Malaysia to be accorded this top accolade in Hong Kong, and is a strong testimony to its well-established brand in the region known also as Asia’s top financial hub.

The Hong Kong Leaders’ Choice Brand Award is a representative corporate annual event that bestows award and public recognition to brands which have shown outstanding standards in quality as well as performance in their respective fields. Instituted by Metro Finance under the umbrella of Metro Radio Hong Kong, the award recipients were voted in by established entrepreneurs after a rigorous process of nomination by an independent panel of respectable judges. The recognition by equals in the commercial sphere adds to the weight of the award as a significant brand acknowledgment.

The ceremonious evening on 9 February 2023 was graced by the attendance of Guest of Honour Mr. Chris
Tang Ping-keung, the Hong Kong’s government Secretary for Security, and Mr. Sung Man-hei, the Managing Director of Metro Broadcast Corporation. After a 2-year hiatus from in-person event, there was much fanfare about for this year with the presence of many influential figures from both Hong Kong and overseas. Mr. Sung delivered the welcoming remarks before Mr. Tang took to the stage to congratulate all winners and business leaders. In his speech, Mr. Tang also highlighted the positive trajectory of Hong Kong’s future economy particularly with the border reopening.

Alongside the conferment to leading players from the banking and finance industry, there was also a nod to outstanding player in the property industry. The sole winner under this category from overseas was none other than Hunza Group. Ms. Khor Tze Ming, our Group Executive Director, represented the company to receive the honour on stage in the attendance of fellow business peers. In her appreciation remarks, she mentioned: “This award is a joyous tie-in to our 45th Anniversary celebration which is happening this year with the theme of FORTIFYING THE FUTURE! We are very thankful for the support of our partners and customers in Hong Kong for this recognition, and we will continue to deliver to the best of our brand together with our exclusive partner here, Jade Land Properties.”

Even with the border closure since the pandemic hit, Hunza Group has never relented in its Hong Kong campaign to promote Penang as the preferred destination for living, investment and retirement. Coupled with the expertise and knowledge of its local partner Jade Land Properties, Hunza Group’s leadership position in the Hong Kong market is well upheld. Currently, both entities are gearing up for the imminent Hong Kong launch of its MUZE @ PICC’s penthouse series, the MUZE Signature VI.

The first of the set pieces for the larger PICC, MUZE @ PICC is the tallest smart residential building in Penang which consists of 846 units of high quality homes that combine luxury living with flexibility as well as practicality. It is slated for completion in early Q2 of 2023. Hunza Group will then embark on the fullscale construction of PICC’s next stage – Phase 2 – which will be made up of serviced residences, a lifestyle mall, Global Business Services (GBS) hub and an international hotel. Concurrently in 2023, the Group will kick-start on its progress for several other projects such as Mekarsari Unggul (Phase 17 of Bandar Kepala Batas), Taman Seri Bayu Phase 3C and The Millennia @ Bukit Gedung, the maiden RMMPg project in collaboration with Penang State Housing Board.
