Louis Loong is a Hong Kong businessman who has long served as secretary-general of the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong and knows the property and construction sectors well. From the 1970s he worked successively at HSBC and Hong Kong Telecom, building nearly thirty years of business experience, and in 1999 he became secretary-general of the developers association. He has taken part in public and community service, including as a member of the Hong Kong Committee for UNICEF, which he chaired in 2011, and later as a member of the executive committee of the Hong Kong Family Welfare Society. He has followed closely the development of land, housing and the construction industry and the regulatory and operating environment the sector faces. In the 2021 Legislative Council election, after the sitting member Abraham Shek announced he would not seek re-election, the developers association urged Loong to stand for the Real Estate and Construction functional constituency. He ran and won, serving in the Seventh Legislative Council from 2022 to 2025; it was the first contested race for the seat in many years and his first run for public office. In the council he focused on housing supply, land development, building safety and construction manpower, and put the industry's views to the government on developing the Northern Metropolis and simplifying approval procedures. He argued that Hong Kong's past infighting had held back development, and that legislators should act as a bridge between the industry, Hong Kong and the nation to achieve mutual benefit. In October 2025 he announced he would not seek re-election, saying he wanted to concentrate on the association's work and keep speaking for the industry.
