The Initiative

Understanding the Paradigm Shift

Three dimensions of a single mission — from the aging building crisis and an old economy and unsustainable Dai Wai Sau practice threatening every Hong Kong private residence, to the proof that Homegevity™ can solve it, to the opportunity it opens for our city.

The Problem

All Roads Lead to Dai Wai Sau

Hong Kong's private residential buildings face an accelerating crisis. Whether an estate is well-managed or neglected, the existing construction-industry-led paradigm — spanning incorporated owners, property managers, and contractors — leads every building toward Dai Wai Sau, a full-building overhaul that carries profound risks to human lives, homes, and personal assets. Deferred is not avoided. It is borrowed time — and even after Dai Wai Sau, the deterioration cycle restarts.

The Proof

Over HK$1 Billion Created at Bel-Air

Through three years of innovation, a dedicated team designed and applied a Tailormade Homegevity™ Blueprint to Bel-Air, one of Hong Kong's most prominent private residential estates. The result: over HK$1 billion in value created for 2,775 homeowners, eliminating a projected HK$1+ billion Dai Wai Sau expenditure.

The Opportunity

HK as Global Proptech Hub

If Bel-Air's success is scaled citywide, HK$159 billion in owner equity can be created and reclaimed. Hong Kong is uniquely positioned — just as it is in FinTech — to become the global innovation hub for Proptech, exporting Homegevity™ to high-density residential highrises across Asia Pacific and beyond to create a new ecosystem of transformation.

Case Study · 貝沙灣 Bel-Air

Pioneering a Smart, Safe, and Sustainable Success Story

In 2022, Bel-Air's property manager presented owners with a Dai Wai Sau proposal — a phased renovation programme with an estimated cost of HK$1.057 billion from 2,775 owners. Facing the enormous cost and safety risks, the owners entrusted Mr Ha Wing On, MH, as a fellow owner with extensive and unique professional expertise, to initiate a fundamental re-examination of the estate's condition, needs, and long-term management strategy which led to a three year journey of transformation for Bel-Air.

Today, Allen Ha's pioneering Homegevity™ Solution has been successfully applied in Bel-Air. The result: the HK$1 billion+ Dai Wai Sau requirement is eliminated. The value stays in owners' pockets and the Hong Kong economy.

Ha Wing On Allen, MH — Founder, Homegevity

"The most significant challenge in my journey was to bring innovative, financially smart property technology into a deeply ingrained residential property management ecosystem—one traditionally governed by property owners’ associations and property management firms. This system, established in the 1970s and reinforced by long-standing customs and reliance on DWS practices within the construction industry paradigm, presents considerable barriers to innovation. I am very grateful that through perseverance and a human-centric approach, this systemic barrier and fixed mindset can finally be overcome. Now that the fortified gate has been open, the tech industry and tech-savvy generation can recognize the opportunities for them to contribute significantly. I look forward to collaborating with the PropTech industry and our young talents to bring this essential, long-overdue technology transformation to serve our residential communities and the city."
