Business Overview | China Properties

The Group is actively seeking investment opportunities in the Mainland. Its development land bank and investment properties spread over key cities and new CBDs including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Wuhan, Dalian, Chengdu, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou and Changzhou. As at the end of 2008, total attributable landbank and investment properties came close to our interim target of 100 million square feet in GFA. Plans are underway for the development of quality residential, commercial and hotel properties in the next few years.

Among others, International Finance Centre in Chengdu, Sichuan, the Group's next flagship, will be comparable in significance, mix and scale to Harbour City in Hong Kong. Chengdu is the up and coming business hub at the heart of Western China and has a population of 11 million to trail only Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing. The project, as the top location in the city's main commercial district, aims to quickly become the "Best of the West" as the new shopping hub for not only Chengdu but the entire Western region.

In addition, the Group currently operates prime Times Square developments in Shanghai, Chongqing, Wuhan and Dalian.
