Hang Lung Partners with Shanghai Join Buy Group to Announce No. 1038 West Nanjing Road Commercial Project
20-year Operating Lease Expands Their West Nanjing Road Portfolio by 44%, Marking the Latest Milestone of Hang Lung V.3 Strategy
HONG KONG SAR & SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 December 2025 – Hang Lung Properties Limited (SEHK stock code: 00101) (the “Company” or “Hang Lung”) today announced it has successfully secured the No. 1038 West Nanjing Road Commercial Project by partnering with Shanghai Join Buy Group Co., Ltd. (“Join Buy Group”). This landmark redevelopment project, operating under a 20-year lease, will add approximately 96,000 square meters to Hang Lung’s portfolio on West Nanjing Road, expanding its total gross floor area by approximately 44% to about 312,335 square meters. It represents the latest milestone under Hang Lung V.3 strategy, which emphasizes capital-efficient reinvestment and asset optimization to amplify its leadership position in core cities, bolstering Shanghai’s stature as an international consumption destination.
The section stretching from Plaza 66 to the No. 1038 West Nanjing Road Commercial Project —formerly Westgate Mall—is known as “Mei-Tai-Hang” (梅泰恒) and is considered the “core of the core” of Shanghai’s prime retail and lifestyle center. As part of Shanghai’s urban renewal efforts, the project will be transformed into a dynamic mixed-use complex featuring integrated retail, hospitality, and office spaces. Positioned for a modern demographic that favours experiential spaces, this project will create a new community hub where global trend-setting brands and new generations of consumers can connect, offering immersive, culturally rich, and diverse experiences.
Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung Properties, said, “We are honored to partner with the Jing’an District Government and Join Buy Group under the visionary guidance of the Shanghai municipal government for this transformative project. West Nanjing Road is not just a premier commercial destination, it is the cultural and historical heart of Shanghai, and we are privileged to be entrusted with its future. This redevelopment, as another milestone of the Hang Lung V.3 strategy, reinforces our commitment to a customer-centric approach through curated and unparalleled experiences. Its more comprehensive mix of uses will create stronger synergies across our portfolio and attract a broader clientele. The new dynamics will further strengthen the area’s reputation as a hub for international lifestyle. We are proud to contribute to the legacy of Jing’an District and the development of its landmark commercial district.”
Boasting a profound historical and cultural legacy, the Westgate Mall was the first to introduce the “shopping mall” concept to Shanghai. The site and the adjacent Majestic Theatre (美琪大戲院) was originally home to the Majestic Hotel (大華飯店), one of Shanghai’s most opulent garden hotels in the 1920s. It served as a pivotal venue for prominent political and social events and stood as a vibrant symbol of “Haipai” (海派), or Shanghai culture—the cosmopolitan movement that defined the first half of the 20th century with its openness to a wave of new international concepts, and continues to influence modern Chinese lifestyle today. The reintroduction of a new hotel nearly a century later pays tribute to its glamorous past while reviving this legacy for a new generation.
Mr. Xu Xing, Chairman of Join Buy Group, commented, “West Nanjing Road serves as a symbol of Shanghai’s urban living, and for Join Buy Group, it is a core area of our long-term commitment and development. This commercial project at No. 1038 West Nanjing Road is not only a direct response to the Jing’an district’s strategic plan to create a ‘High-end Service-led Development Axis on West Nanjing Road (南京西路高端服務引領發展軸),’ but also a key landmark in our journey toward high-quality development. We will leverage this project to deepen our involvement in the West Nanjing Road central activity zone and explore a new paradigm for the integration of culture, business, and travel.”
The No. 1038 West Nanjing Road Commercial Project will significantly enhance the scale and synergy of Hang Lung’s Shanghai property portfolio—fostering a vibrant local community, enriching the cultural atmosphere, and strengthening West Nanjing Road’s position as a premier lifestyle destination, while driving sustainable revenue growth and increasing the portfolio’s overall asset value.

FikaGO Debuts in SoHo, Blending Pet Stroller with Modern Lifestyle Design
The Taiwan-born pet mobility brand opens its first SoHo pop-up inside Flying Solo, bringing its Nordic-designed pet stroller collection to the heart of New York City.
NEW YORK, USA – Media OutReach Newswire – 02 April 2026 – FikaGO, the design-led pet mobility brand recognized across Asia and Europe, has opened its first New York City pop-up store inside Flying Solo in SoHo. The opening marks a deliberate move for a pet brand into one of the world’s most competitive retail districts.
Since entering the online American market in 2025, FikaGO has built a growing community of pet parents who see their animals as a central part of everyday life. Positioned as lifestyle essentials rather than conventional pet gear, FikaGO’s range of products is designed for people who want the best for their fur babies.
“We’ve always believed that pet products should not only be functional, but also beautifully integrated into everyday life.” — Eric Guu, Co-founder, FikaGO
SoHo was a considered choice: Flying Solo, with locations in New York and Paris, is known for championing independent design with a distinctly global sensibility.
The pop-up showcases FikaGO’s auto-folding Free To Go 2 in Sandy Beige, the brand’s bestselling product. All FikaGO’s products are manufactured using eco-friendly fabrics made from recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability. This includes their large-capacity Agile 2 pet strollers to their airline-approved Truffle carriers and the heavy-duty Kross pet wagon.
“Launching in SoHo is a meaningful milestone for us; it allows customers to truly experience the quality, design, and intention behind every FikaGO product.” — Eric Guu, Co-founder, FikaGO
As pet ownership rises globally, particularly among urban millennials and Gen Zs, demand for products that combine functionality, design, and lifestyle integration continues to grow. FikaGO was built for precisely this moment, and SoHo is precisely where that moment lives.
