Hang Lung Marks 65 Years of Visionary Leadership at Anniversary Cocktail Unveils “Hang Lung V.3” Strategy for Capital-Efficient Growth
“It is with immense pride that I look back on these past 65 years — a journey that my father and mother embarked upon and has since evolved together with the remarkable growth of Hong Kong and mainland China,” said Mr. Ronnie C. Chan, Honorary Chair of Hang Lung Group and Hang Lung Properties. “Our achievements extend beyond the portfolio we have developed; at the core, we have cultivated enduring relationships. To our business associates, our government partners, and many valued friends in the industry, your unwavering trust and longstanding collaboration have been fundamental to our success. Hang Lung’s future embraces the cities we serve, and I am confident that this legacy of partnership and progress will continue to flourish under Adriel’s leadership.”
Creating Compelling Spaces that Enrich Lives – From Hong Kong to Mainland
Hang Lung’s vision was forged through pioneering projects that transformed Hong Kong’s urban landscape. The Group strategically built a formidable Hong Kong portfolio with iconic mixed-use developments in core districts including Central, Causeway Bay, Kowloon Bay and Mongkok, setting benchmarks for urban development. This legacy encapsulated Hang Lung’s vision: creating compelling spaces that enrich lives, which was later applied to the Group’s strategic expansion into mainland China in the 1990s. With its renowned “66” brand, Hang Lung has developed 11 world-class projects across nine cities, setting the standard for premium retail and mixed-use developments.
The Strategic Evolution: From HL V.1 to HL V.3
Hang Lung’s strategic journey has evolved through distinct phases. HL V.1 represented the foundational era, characterized by diverse business ventures across Hong Kong. This was followed by HL V.2, which was defined by significant expansion into mainland China, with a focus on building large, capital-intensive mixed-use developments. As Hang Lung’s next strategic phase, HL V.3 focuses on expanding businesses in existing cities, and elevating customer experience through capital-efficient, highly selective reinvestments that are immediately relevant to existing assets. HL V.3 projects enhance scale, visibility, and accessibility, leveraging and enhancing an existing asset to maximize returns on investment.
“As we reflect on our achievements over the past 65 years, we also look forward to an exciting new chapter for our Group,” said Mr. Adriel Chan, Chair of Hang Lung Group and Hang Lung Properties. “HL V.3 is a natural evolution, complementing and enhancing our successful V.2 model by allowing us to leverage our established presence and deep market understanding. V.3 unlocks greater value for stakeholders by focusing on Core City Expansion, ROI Growth, and Elevating the Customer Experience, which have been proven through our Grand Gateway 66 North Tower Upgrade, Plaza 66 Pavilion Extension, Spring City 66 Shangyi Street, and the Westlake 66 Expansion—each engineered to amplify the success of our existing assets, without being a draw on resources. ”
Westlake 66 Updates: A New Landmark for Hangzhou
As Hang Lung’s 11th mixed-use project in mainland China, Westlake 66 is located in the heart of Hangzhou city and scheduled for opening in phases from late 2025. Retail leasing has achieved an impressive 83% committed rate as of today, while Office Tower E—set to launch later this year—has reached a 100% leasing rate. The Mandarin Oriental Hangzhou scheduled to open in the second half of 2026 will further strengthen the project’s leading position as the top lifestyle destination in the city.
“Westlake 66 represents our vision of creating space for a premier lifestyle, strategically located in the Wulin Square, one of the most vibrant shopping destinations in mainland China,” said
Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung Group and Hang Lung Properties. “It features an iconic architectural design, with an integrated mall and tower structure that supports a unique, elevated green park, offering breathtaking views and fostering a sense of community and belonging. With the most optimal visibility in the Wulin catchment, a luxury hotel, and a vibrant shopping vibe, we are creating the most compelling retail destination in the area. Our commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness is reflected in every aspect, positioning Westlake 66 as a model for future developments.”
The significance of this landmark project is further strengthened with the collaboration with Baida Group. Hang Lung signed a 20-year lease agreement, effective April 1, 2028, for the South and North towers of Hangzhou Department Store, adjacent to Westlake 66. This expansion will significantly increase Westlake 66’s retail area by 40% and street frontage by over 200%, while enhancing customer connectivity and boosting the project’s scale, overall ambiance, and competitive edge in the area.
Forging the Future on a 65-Year Legacy
Hang Lung’s 65th anniversary marks not just a celebration of its rich legacy, but also a powerful affirmation of its future-forward strategy. With the “HL V.3” strategy, the Group is well-positioned to navigate evolving market dynamics, leveraging its profound heritage and clear, multifaceted approach to deliver sustained growth and create enduring value for all stakeholders.

The Reality of the Raya Rush
The lead-up to Raya is a whirlwind of grocery runs, deep cleaning, and late nights in the kitchen. By the time the first open house begins, most women have already put in an incredible amount of effort for their families. The quiet moments in between are not just a break. They are earned.
XIXILI’s pajamas are made for those moments. Easy to move in, soft enough to wear through the night, and the kind of pieces that make coming home feel like something to look forward to. Designed to fit a wide range of body types, every woman can find something that feels as good as it looks.
“Raya is everything. The food, the family, the laughter. And at the end of it all, she deserves to rest just as well as she celebrated,” says Tara Tan, Marketing Director at XIXILI.
Comfort That Carries Through the Season
Raya may bring the occasion, but the shift happening in Malaysian wardrobes goes further than that. Women are increasingly treating sleepwear as a considered part of their self-care, not just something to change into before bed.
“We often talk about the joy of gathering, but we rarely talk about the exhaustion that comes with it,” Tara Tan adds. “Our goal for Raya 2026 is to ensure that when the last guest leaves, every woman has a high-quality piece of loungewear to retreat into. It is about honouring the work she does by giving her the rest she deserves.”
Quality loungewear for the wind-down, the slow morning, and every quiet moment in between has become one of the most considered purchases a woman makes this season.
Made to Be Worn, Not Just Owned
Good sleepwear should not sit tucked away at the back of a drawer. It should be the first thing she reaches for at the end of a long day, worn in and looked forward to. XIXILI’s range is built for exactly that, styles that settle naturally into her routine and carry her well beyond the festive season.
The full sleepwear collection is available online and at XIXILI boutiques nationwide. To shop the range, visit www.xixili-intimates.com.Hashtag: #XIXILI

The program will be applied across all four markets: Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
In line with VinFast’s pioneering spirit, GSM Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company has also announced an immediate 10% reduction in fares for electric mobility services on the Xanh SM platform in Vietnam and Green SM in Indonesia from March 11 to March 31, 2026. This initiative offers customers a more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective transportation option.
The program may be extended depending on international developments and future fuel price movements.
Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales, VinFast, stated: “The special ‘Trade Gas for Electric’ program launched in March across four key markets is VinFast’s timely response to geopolitical volatility that is affecting socio-economic conditions in many countries around the world. As one of the pioneering manufacturers leading the global electric vehicle revolution, VinFast together with companies in Vingroup’s green ecosystem aims to help reduce the impact of fuel prices on people’s daily lives while also lowering environmental pollution through smarter, more sustainable, and more cost-efficient mobility solutions.”
The special “Trade Gas for Electric” program will be implemented in parallel with and combined with other available incentive programs in each market. Through layered incentives, Vingroup and companies within its ecosystem aim to create favorable conditions for customers to transition quickly to electric vehicles, reduce dependence on gasoline, stabilize daily life, and contribute to building a cleaner and more civilized living environment.

The ceremony was presided by Vice-Consul (Political) Ms. Mavis Tan, Consulate-General of the Republic of Singapore, Chengdu and Mr. Li Xunfu, Deputy Director of Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce.
Success Academy to connect partners from Singapore and China
Anchored in SUSS’ commitment to lifelong learning and creating social impact, the Academy will serve as a key nexus for academic and industry partners from both countries. Through cross-cultural collaboration and practice-oriented learning, it also aims to develop future-ready talent equipped to contribute meaningfully to society and the economy.
RYA is an education and talent development organisation aimed at nurturing future-ready talent through industry-oriented learning and international exposure. RYA will bring its networks and local expertise to support and enhance the Academy’s initiatives.
Through the Academy, SUSS will provide opportunities for students from SUSS and other Singapore pre-tertiary and tertiary institutions to co-learn and co-innovate with peers in China.

In addition, the Academy will support SUSS in working with universities and organisations in China to jointly design and deliver industry-relevant courses and programmes for students and executives.
Extending engagement into Northeast China with Shenyang satellite office
To further deepen its engagement in Northeast China, SUSS will launch a satellite office in Shenyang on 11 March 2026 under the Success Academy in Chongqing. This office will support SUSS’ initiatives in Liaoning Province and surrounding areas, including Dalian. In addition, three Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) will be signed with the following organisations:
- Shenyang University of Chemical Technology (SYUCT): Collaborative development of a Master’s degree programme in Social Work, fostering cross-border knowledge exchange, curriculum innovation, and talent development to address evolving social service needs.
- North-East Institute of Population and Social Development: Joint research endeavours, professional development programmes, and meaningful academia-industry partnerships to generate evidence-based solutions, build capabilities, and promote active ageing ecosystems that benefit individuals and communities.
Professor Tan Tai Yong, President of SUSS, said, “China is an important partner for SUSS as we expand opportunities for our students and strengthen collaboration across Asia. The launch of the Success Academy in Chongqing allows us to work more closely with universities, industry and community partners in Western and Northeast China, and to deliver applied, practice-oriented education that responds to real-world needs. Our partnership with Raffles Young Academy reflects our shared commitment to developing future-ready talent and supporting professional growth across the region.”
Mr. Samuel Ng, Executive Chairman, RYA, said, “Our collaboration with the Singapore University of Social Sciences reflects a shared belief in applied, practice-oriented education and in preparing students and enterprises to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Chongqing’s strategic position as a gateway to Western China and a hub for industry and connectivity makes it an ideal location for immersive, industry-linked education. This partnership represents a long-term commitment to building enduring bridges between students and industry, between academia and practice, and between Singapore and China.”
