About Nan Fung Group

Nan Fung Group is one of the largest privately held conglomerates in Hong Kong with global interests in real estate development and investment. It holds a well-diversified and substantial financial investment portfolio. The Group was founded in 1954 and has a track record spanning over 50 years with over 165 projects including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The Group also strategically focuses on first-tier cities in mainland China and recognises attractive opportunities for development and investment overseas, including New York and London.

In recent years, the Group has expanded its investment focus to ICE (Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship), exemplified by its signature project, The Mills, a revitalisation of its legacy yarn factories into a hub promoting techstyle (the intersection of technology and style) and an integrated destination housing an experiential shopfloor, startup incubator and interactive gallery. The Group has also made significant progress in investments related to life sciences in the US via Pivotal; and in mainland China via an affiliate, New Frontier, which focuses on healthcare, elderly care, education, and new technology.

About The Mills

Opened in late 2018, The Mills is Nan Fung Group's landmark revitalisation project which transformed its former textile factories into a new destination for heritage and innovation. A story of reinvention, The Mills is about preserving the best of Hong Kong's past and combining it with the future to offer a new platform for inspiration and creativity. The Mills represents the movement 'from textile to techstyle', symbolising the transition from its heritage to innovation, from old to new.

The Mills is composed of three pillars:

Fabrica - A go-to solutions platform accelerating techstyle and agrifood tech innovations for sustainability

Shopfloor - A landmark for experiential retail, and an expression of Hong Kong's evolving character

CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile) - A non-profit arts centre interweaving textile arts, history, and design

SEWIT, the Group's sustainable framework established in 2021, pays homage to both the shared heritage and environment. Five Pillars of SEWIT - Social Cohesion, Environment, Wellness, Innovation and Technology, form a patchwork planet and seedling that embed our commitment to sustainable growth in people, communities, and the environment. The three pillars of The Mills – Fabrica, Shopfloor and Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile (CHAT), interweave different innovative cultural experiences by adding green, pet-friendly, and community mindfulness elements.

About CHAT

CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile) is a community museum located on the 2/F of The Mills, the former cotton-spinning mills of Nan Fung Textiles in Tsuen Wan. Through its multifaceted curated programmes, which include exhibitions and co-learning programmes, CHAT aims to be an art centre that weaves creative experiences for all, inviting visitors to experience the spirit of the innovative legacy of Hong Kong's textile industry and engage in new dialogues and inspirational journeys that interweave contemporary art, design and heritage.
