Located atop MTR Ho Man Tin Station, IN ONE is jointly developed by Chinachem Group and MTR Corporation. Served by both the Tuen Ma Line and Kwun Tong Line, the development offers excellent connectivity across Kowloon and to key urban districts. As Ho Man Tin’s transport network and community amenities continue to evolve, the area is transforming into a well-connected urban residential hub.     Green Building Starts with Materials As a major integrated residential development, IN ONE has achieved BEAM Plus Gold certification and WELL Building Standard certification, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and occupant wellbeing. According to Chinachem Group’s sustainability report, the Group reduced its operational carbon intensity by 27.7% in 2024 compared with the 2020 baseline, while 100% of its new developments and asset enhancement projects achieved BEAM Plus Gold rating or above. IN ONE’s green and healthy building positioning therefore aligns with Chinachem Group’s broader commitment to sustainable construction, carbon reduction and healthy community development. For building materials, environmental certification, low VOC emissions, carbon footprint management and sustainable supply chains are key to supporting green building goals—an approach that closely matches OPTIMIX’s product philosophy.   Certified Green Products for Better Indoor Air Quality o meet the project’s green building requirements, OPTIMIX supplied several products certified under the CIC Green Product Certification (CICGPC) 2.0 at Platinum level, including TA313 Flexible Tile Adhesive, TA328 High Performance Tile Adhesive and TG410E High Performance Coloured Anti-Mould Tile Grout. These products have passed ISO 14067 carbon footprint verification and VOC emissions testing by Intertek in accordance with CDPH Standard Method V1.2. With ultra-low VOC emissions and formaldehyde release controlled at ≤ 0.1 mg/m³, they help reduce the impact of construction materials on indoor air quality and occupant health.   Local Production, Reliable Performance OPTIMIX products are manufactured within a 100-kilometre radius of Hong Kong and use non-halogenated packaging materials, helping reduce transportation-related carbon emissions while supporting sustainable procurement. For IN ONE, OPTIMIX also provided a comprehensive dry mortar system covering substrate preparation, wall levelling, tile installation and joint finishing.

This year, Optimix once again took action to support community welfare, continuing our care and commitment to underprivileged groups. Through our participation in the “Construction Industry Lo Pan Rice” initiative, held by CIVSP,  we hope to turn our goodwill into practical support, bringing warmth to grassroots families and elderly people in need, while caring for the community through concrete action and promoting the spirit of mutual help and compassion. On 12 June, the event was held at the YMCA of Hong Kong Jordan Centre. The Optimix volunteer team worked closely with the on-site team to distribute 100 hot meal boxes to local residents, while also offering warm greetings and blessings, allowing them to feel the care and support of the community in their daily lives. During the event, we saw many residents receiving the meal boxes with smiles and engaging warmly with our volunteers. Each meal was not only a source of nourishment, but also a gesture of care and encouragement, embodying the goodwill of different sectors coming together in solidarity and mutual support. Optimix will continue to actively participate in and support various charitable initiatives, giving back to society through concrete action and fulfilling our corporate social responsibility. We believe that through close collaboration with the community and partners from different sectors, we can bring support to more people in need and work together to create a warmer and better tomorrow.

Central has long been Hong Kong’s most representative business district. Banks, financial institutions, professional services firms, multinational corporations and high-end business communities have gathered here for decades, shaping the area’s distinctive international character. As Hong Kong gradually developed into a major financial center in Asia in the latter half of the twentieth century, Central’s urban landscape also continued to evolve. Traditional commercial buildings were increasingly replaced by integrated commercial spaces that placed greater emphasis on planning, design, efficiency and experience. Against this backdrop, LANDMARK was conceived from the beginning as more than a shopping mall; it was designed as an urban landmark for Central, an international business hub. Combining luxury retail, Grade A office space, dining, hotel services, public areas and well-planned circulation routes, it provides businesspeople, travellers, consumers and local visitors with a space that balances efficiency with sophistication. In terms of architecture and spatial design, LANDMARK’s atrium functions almost like Central’s indoor urban living room. It accommodates foot traffic, social encounters, brand showcases and public events, becoming a natural point of passage and pause for those working, meeting, shopping and dining in Central. Closely connected to surrounding commercial buildings, pedestrian footbridges, streets and the MTR network, LANDMARK is not an isolated commercial development, but part of Central’s daily operation. This deep integration into urban life means that its significance as a landmark lies not only in being “seen”, but in being used, day after day, year after year. Over the years, LANDMARK has continually adjusted itself in response to the city’s development and changing consumer needs. From its early role as an important component of Central’s premium commercial infrastructure to its present position as an integrated destination for shopping, dining, art, festive experiences and lifestyle, LANDMARK has consistently responded to the changing times. A space that truly becomes a landmark does not remain frozen in one glorious era; it is one that continues to stay alive across different periods. What makes LANDMARK special is that it has preserved Central’s long-established image of sophistication, stability and internationalism, while continually responding to a new generation of consumers through brand renewal, spatial enhancement, upgraded services and curated events that reflect contemporary expectations of experience, aesthetics and lifestyle. LANDMARK’s renovation works are not merely a simple refurbishment, but a continuation and reinterpretation of the value of an urban landmark. For a premium commercial space that remains in daily operation, renovation must be carried out without compromising tenants’ business operations, customer experience or the overall image of the property. Behind this lies meticulous project planning, material selection, construction coordination and quality control. More importantly, the renewal of LANDMARK is not about overturning the past, but about elevating what already exists. It preserves the premium positioning and spatial memories built up over the years, while introducing design, technology and materials better suited to contemporary needs, allowing this classic landmark to continue serving users today and in the future. At a time when sustainable development is becoming increasingly important, the strategic renewal of existing buildings is itself a more responsible approach. Compared with demolition and reconstruction, renovation helps reduce resource waste and extend the inherent value of a building. By selecting greener, more durable and certified sustainable materials, the long-term performance of the space can also be further enhanced. Optimix is honored to have participated in the renewal of LANDMARK. Our products — Procrete, BP126, BP138, SC216, PC45, TG410E and TA328 — all contributed to the project. Among them, TG410E and TA328 have received CIC Green Product Certification (CICGPC 2.0) recognition, aligning closely with the green and environmentally conscious vision behind this renovation. For us, this is not merely a project, but an opportunity to take part in the continued evolution of one of Hong Kong’s most important urban landmarks. In this process, materials are no longer just components of a building’s surface; they become an important medium connecting history, the present and the future. LANDMARK carries the urban memories of Central and bears witness to the development of Hong Kong’s premium commercial spaces. Its enduring influence over the years does not come from remaining fixed in past success, but from its ability to evolve with the times. From architectural space to brand experience, from commercial positioning to sustainable practice, LANDMARK continues to renew itself while extending its own value. A true landmark is never merely a witness to history; it is also a participant in the city’s development. This is true of LANDMARK, true of Central, and true of Hong Kong.

OPTIMIX once again sets the benchmark for green standards in the industry! Three of our core products — TA313 Tile Adhesive (Semi-Flexible), TA328 Tile Adhesive (Flexible), and TG410E Tile Grout (High Performance) — have officially been awarded the highest Platinum rating under the newly launched CIC Green Product Certification (CICGPC) 2.0. With outstanding environmental performance, OPTIMIX is proud to be among the first companies in the industry to receive this upgraded certification. This milestone not only affirms our leadership in green R&D, low-carbon manufacturing, and sustainable development, but also sets a new benchmark for green building materials in Hong Kong.   CICGPC 2.0: An Authoritative Standard Towards Carbon Neutrality CICGPC is the most credible assessment systems in Hong Kong’s construction sector and is directly linked to the BEAM Plus credit mechanism. The new 2.0 version represents a comprehensive upgrade from 1.0, with a stronger focus on embodied carbon control, resource circularity, health and environmental performance, and innovative technologies. Its more rigorous assessment criteria support Hong Kong’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. OPTIMIX’s successful certification demonstrates that our product life-cycle management has reached a leading standard aligned with international best practices.   From Raw Materials to Production: A Comprehensive Commitment to Sustainability and Carbon Reduction To meet the stringent requirements of CICGPC 2.0, OPTIMIX has demonstrated strong environmental performance across multiple key areas: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): We have completed product carbon footprint (CFP) quantification covering raw material supply (A1), transportation (A2), and manufacturing (A3), and have obtained Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), meeting the BEAM Plus requirements for life-cycle assessment. Regional Production Strategy: By strictly implementing regional production, with manufacturing locations kept within 800 km of project sites by road transportation, our products not only meet the requirements for regional materials but also significantly reduce transportation-related carbon emissions and enhance supply chain resilience. Exceptional Health Protection: Our products contain less than 0.1% ozone-depleting substances and have passed the stringent VOC emissions testing under CDPH Standard Method v1.2, with formaldehyde emissions controlled within 0.1 mg/m³/24h. This not only satisfies BEAM Plus requirements, but also aligns with international certification systems such as LEED and WELL, providing outstanding indoor air quality protection for building users.   Continuing the Platinum Legacy: Where Premium Quality Meets Green Innovation As a company deeply committed to green building materials, OPTIMIX was awarded the highest Platinum rating under CICGPC 1.0 for TA328 as early as 2021. This latest achievement — with three products simultaneously receiving Platinum certification under CICGPC 2.0 — marks another major step forward in our journey of smart production and technological innovation. Looking ahead, OPTIMIX will continue to advance low-carbon technologies and the use of recycled resources. Being among the first companies to receive CICGPC 2.0 certification is only the beginning. We will keep developing high-performance, environmentally responsible building materials and work hand in hand with industry partners to build a healthier, more sustainable green future for Hong Kong.
