The Henderson is a skyscraper in Central, Hong Kong. The 36-storey building rises to a height of 190 metres (623 feet).[1] It was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.[2] The site at 2 Murray Road was reportedly the world's most expensive plot, worth US$3 billion, when it was purchased by developer Henderson Land Development in 2017, leading to the demolition of the car park at the site.[3][4][5] Construction began in 2019 and was completed in 2024.
As of May 2024, 60% of its lettable space is occupied.[3] Some notable tenants include British auction house Christie's,[6] the CPP Investment Board,[7] Audemars Piguet[8] and Carlyle.[3] The Henderson had an occupancy rate of about 80% as of Mar 2025.[9] On 7 June 2024, The Henderson welcomed its first batch of tenants.[10]
The Murray Road Project was named "The Henderson" by Henderson Land. At the time of its purchase in 2017, the site had attained a record for the highest value of land in the world. This super Grade-A office tower covers 465,000 square feet.[citation needed]
Design
The building was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, and is characterized by its curved silhouette. The design was inspired by the form of a Bauhinia bud in full bloom. Its glass façade incorporates contemporary engineering techniques and aims to combine sustainability with technological functionality.
The Henderson has received numerous awards and accolades, including the 2025 CTBUH Awards - Overall Category Winner (Best Tall Building, by Region, Asia & Façade Award) and Award of Excellence Winner (Best Tall Building by Height, 100–199 meters & Space Within Award),[11] Quality Building Award 2024 (Grand Award and The Innovative Project Award),[12] HKIA Medal of the Year of Hong Kong 2024,[13] and Green Building Award 2021 (Grand Award),[14] etc.
Sustainability
Sustainability is foundational to the building, reflected in BEAM Plus Platinum certification, LEED Platinum certification and WELL Platinum pre-certification, WiredScore and SmartScore Platinum certifications, 3-Star ratings under the China Healthy Building Design Label, and China Green Building Design Label, and the first in Hong Kong and Mainland China to achieve ModeScore and ActiveScore Platinum certifications. Landlord provisions further support tenants in achieving their own goals, enhancing productivity and workplace wellbeing.
