Peter T.C. Lee, Chairman and Acting Chief
Executive Officer, passed away unexpectedly on
17 October 2009. Peter joined the Group as Board
Director in 1988. He became Managing Director in
1999 and Chairman in 2001. He led the Company
to be both a successful and responsible business,
paying attention to the results as well as how they
were achieved. This is now Hysan’s entrenched
Guiding Principle in business.
Peter contributed to transforming Causeway Bay as well as Hysan. Our latest
Hennessy Centre redevelopment project is the first Hong Kong candidate to
have been pre-certified at Platinum level for the United States Green Building
Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

"We believe our initiative will enhance asset value by creating a better working
and shopping environment for tenants and visitors alike," remarked Peter.
"Hysan and Causeway Bay’s histories and growth are very much entwined.
We hope this project will not only be the pride of Hysan, but also bring benefit
to Causeway Bay and Hong Kong."
Peter’s legacy lies also in his relentless support and guidance in the
development of Hysan’s corporate governance culture.
"We always believe that good governance is the only way to achieve sustainable,
long-term growth," commented Peter in 2008, on Hysan taking the top honour
in one of Hong Kong’s most prestigious corporate governance awards.
The principle of being a successful and responsible business is also a perfect
reflection of Peter’s own personal attributes – Peter was a man of the highest
integrity, ethics, and sense of duty. Those who were privileged to work with
Peter know that his genuine respect for others and his passion for doing his
best are truly inspirational. While we mourn his loss, we are all better people
for having known him and shall strive to take Hysan to the next level the way
Peter always intended.
