PROSPECTS
As the World Bank noted that despite persistent trade tensions, the global economy has demonstrated stronger-than-expected resilience. Amid a complex environment of mounting external pressures and internal challenges, China continued to advance high-quality development, with the overall economy maintaining stable performance and achieving steady progress. With stable economic growth, corporate demand for commercial space has increased. Coupled with accelerated urbanization and the development of new business districts, demand for commercial properties has continued to rise, supporting the growth of commercial property management and leasing activities. In addition, the Chinese government has introduced a series of favourable policies for the commercial real estate sector, focusing on inventory digestion and optimization of industry planning, thereby providing further support to the property management and leasing industry.
The Group’s managed properties mainly comprise commercial assets. Despite macroeconomic conditions and market competition, tenancy arrangements, lease agreements and occupancy rates remained stable in 2025. However, rental levels for newly signed leases were lower than in previous periods. To mitigate the pressure arising from rental adjustments, the Group will continue to enhance customer satisfaction by incorporating value-added services into new lease agreements, including property maintenance and upkeep, facilities management and community event planning.
The Group’s existing properties are primarily located in Chengdu, Sichuan and Kunming, Yunnan—two key regional cities—and comprise three commercial buildings: Everbright Financial Center, Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building. Benefiting from their prime locations and high-quality facilities, these properties have attracted a sizable number of state-owned enterprises and large institutions, providing a solid foundation for the Group’s leasing business. In recent years, the Group has successfully introduced tenants from emerging sectors such as software and technology, while also offering digitalised services to tenants. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to promote diversified business development and strive to attract more high-quality commercial tenants.
In addition, the further escalation of the situation in the Middle East in March 2026 has led to rising energy prices, heightened inflation expectations and slower economic growth, all of which are core factors affecting overseas investment decisions. Accordingly, the Group will carefully reassess its asset allocation and regional risks with respect to its overseas investment plans. Despite the current significant volatility in the global economy, the Group will adhere to the principle of prudent operation, flexibly seize investment windows, and ensure the safety of capital operations.
The Group continues to leverage technology to advance smart property management, enhance operational efficiency and elevate the customer experience. By strengthening digitalisation and refined management capabilities, the Group aims to further improve service quality and customer satisfaction.
By fully leveraging the synergy with its parent company, China Everbright Group, while actively developing diversified value-added services to broaden its revenue mix and enhance brand influence. As the industry undergoes transformation and upgrading, the Group remains committed to prudent operations, a strong focus on risk management and internal controls, agile responses to macroeconomic and policy developments, continuous optimisation of its asset portfolio, further strengthening of its resilience against market uncertainties, and also actively explore new development opportunities to create greater value for the shareholders.
