Trivium Accelerates Asset Enhancement to Inject Innovative Momentum into Traditional Grade-A Landmark

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 20 August 2026 - As leasing activity in Hong Kong's core commercial districts continues to recover, Nexxus Building in Central has welcomed METiS TechBio (Stock Code: 7666.HK), the world's first listed artificial intelligence (AI) - powered drug delivery biotechnology company. This marks another milestone for Trivium Asset Management ("Trivium"), an Asian real estate investment and asset management firm in advancing asset optimisation and attracting diversified quality tenants successfully since taking over the building's operations and management.

Since assuming the management of Nexxus Building at the beginning of this year, Trivium has rapidly driven interior upgrade and optimisation work. The 23rd floor has been transformed into a brand-new event space, "Nexxus Hub", providing tenants with a one-stop, value-added venue for seminars, networking events and workshops. At the same time, to meet market demand for flexible office space, the team subdivided the 6th floor into six small-to-medium units, significantly enhancing the flexibility of floorplate configuration to precisely address the needs of enterprises of different scales. Upon completion of the works, multiple tenant groups promptly enquired and successively moved in, including METiS TechBio as well as several finance industry companies.

As the global pioneer in AI-driven nanotechnology innovation and drug delivery, METiS TechBio has demonstrated robust market potential following its listing on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in May this year. Dr. Chris Lai, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of METiS TechBio, said, "As a company at the forefront of life sciences and AI innovation technology, we are at a critical stage of rapid business expansion and global scaling. Central, as an international financial and commercial core, offers outstanding geographical advantages and a top-tier business ecosystem. With the completion of internal upgrade works at Nexxus Building, its event space and the flexible spatial planning on the 6th floor is a great match to our team's operational needs. We eagerly anticipate establishing our Hong Kong base at Nexxus Building to further drive the Group's technological innovation and strategic breakthroughs."

METiS TechBio's decision to locate at Nexxus Building not only reflects leading tech-innovation enterprises' confidence in the commercial prospects of Central's core, but also highlights how the building's post-optimisation positioning precisely addresses the requirements of high-growth enterprises.

Mr. Wilfred Ma, Managing Partner of Trivium Asset Management, said, "We warmly welcome METiS TechBio to Nexxus Building. This serves as a testament to the market's recognition of the building's prime location and quality facilities. Since taking over management, Trivium has been actively advancing asset optimisation, including creating the event space 'Nexxus Hub' and reconfiguring the unit layout on the 6th floor, injecting innovative concepts into a traditional Grade-A office building while providing tenants with a more flexible and value-added workplace experience. Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage innovative asset management strategies to attract a diversified range of premium enterprises, continuously unlocking the commercial value of Nexxus Building as a landmark Grade-A office building in Central."

Built in 1962 as the former headquarters of Hang Seng Bank, Nexxus Building has been a witness to Hong Kong's rise as a global financial centre. Following a major renovation in 2008 and the addition of a direct footbridge to IFC and the Airport Express in 2020, the building continues to host multinational corporations, leading financial institutions and professional services firms, and premium retail tenants - including the iconic Hong Kong Bankers Club - reinforcing its status as one of Central's most distinguished Grade‑A office towers.
