On Oct 31, HSL organised a twin corporate social responsibility programme for Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) and Hoan Gallery.
More than 70 year one to three architecture students toured Precinct Grande, inside La Promenade, together with HSL managers, and consultants from David Ong Architect, MNSC Architect, Studio Objects of Affection and JK Bersatu.
The study tour for Unimas is part of HSL’s community outreach supporting public education.
On the same night, HSL sponsored Hoan Gallery’s fourth anniversary celebrations. A “birthday bash” was held at Precinct Grande’s Resort Duplex showhouse, featuring a retrospective exhibition of the gallery’s nine shows since 2021.
Here are the media highlights:

Students from Unimas’ Faculty of Built Environment, led by lecturer Ar. Idr Wong Hsin Jyi, explored the elegant , resort-style Resort Duplexes at Precinct Grande; homes designed to celebrate space, light and green living.
For the students, the visit brought classroom theories to life. “The place feels open but secure,” said 29-year-old Amir Hamzah, who is in his third and final year in the course.
Upon going past the guardhouse, the landscape looks like a valley, a picturesque area.”

The focus shifted to the arts as Hoan Gallery marked its fourth anniversary with a retrospective exhibition held at the Resort Duplex show house.
The gallery itself, located at La Promenade Mall, has become the home of Sarawak’s visual arts scene since its founding in 2021.
“In the blink of an eye, Hoan Gallery is already four years old. In that time, we’ve organised nine exhibitions, from Rebirth featuring local masters to songstress Alena Murang’s first art show, Colours of the Highlands,” said gallery founder Kee Huang.

HSL, the builder-developer of La Promenade Mall, has supported Hoan Gallery since its inception through sponsorships, event collaborations and art initiatives under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme.
“Our directors and staff are directly involved in the gallery’s activities.
“We’ve sponsored shows, purchased artworks as corporate gifts, and worked closely with artists to support their creative efforts,” said HSL leasing manager Angeline Ong.

Meanwhile, under the CSR collaboration with Unimas, 70 third year students from Faculty of Built Environment (FEB) were guided through Precinct Grande by HSL managers, architects and engineers as part of a case study.
The students gained first-hand insight into bungalow designs, landscaped greens, and the precinct’s unique duplex layout.
