HKREITA Guangzhou Tour Concluded On a High Note

On 15 May 2026, the Hong Kong REITS Association (HKREITA) led a delegation of 33 industry professionals to Guangzhou for a strategic exchange session with local regulators.

The closed-door session brought together members and key stakeholders from HKREITA, the C-REITs Alliance, and the investment community. Participating institutions included Link Asset Management (manager of Link REIT), Yuexiu Group, Yuexiu REIT, SF REIT, Uni-China Group, HSBC Institutional Trust Services, Baker McKenzie, CICC, China Merchants Securities, Penghua Fund Management, Colliers and Cushman Wakefield. This highly representative gathering facilitated productive dialogue on key C-REIT policies and updates as well as the REIT Connect initiative. These discussions are expected to foster the growth of the REIT markets in both the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong.

Following the exchange session, delegates toured selected Asset Enhancement Initiatives (AEIs) spearheaded by Yuexiu REIT and Link REIT respectively:
