We conceive, design and manage original retail-led, mixed-use developments of scale that lead to thriving neighbourhoods. Our premium residential properties, offices and hotels have re-defined standards in their particular sectors, and our commitment to the community has enriched peoples’ lives.

Our reputation for quality and a successful approach to development, perfected in Hong Kong, has been replicated in Mainland China, where we have five major mixed-use projects. While In Miami, Florida, where we have had a significant presence since 1980, we will open the city’s largest mixed-use complex in 2016.

To make our vision a reality takes energy, ambition and focus. From the initial planning phase to final construction, we research and develop pioneering ways to ensure what we create sets new and durable standards in architecture and sustainability.

The reliability of our work, the quality of our management and the long-term perspective that guides our decision-making ensure enduring value for our shareholders, our customers, our staff and the communities we have enhanced.

Swire Properties has become one of the most respected real estate developers in Asia, trusted for its commitment to quality design and good basic corporate values. These attributes it shares with each of its individual brands. While there is no company-prescribed formulation for a develop-ment, there are common threads that run through its portfolio; from the patience and attention-to- detail that characterise the planning and design stages, through the consistent care in their comple-tion, to the quality of management thereafter.

Every Swire Properties development is located with precision, often as part of an enhanced trans-port network. Each is then managed proactively to the benefit of all its customers, be they tenants, shoppers, visitors or guests.

But there it stops. Every development is tailor-made for its city. Each is designed to become a distinctive local player borrowing from the essential culture of its host, and thereafter contributing to the enhancement of its neighbourhood and community.

Following the completion of Cityplaza, the company surprised the market with the purchase of the Pacific Place site in 1985 and its vision for a new style of complex.

At the time, the company identi-fied that proximity to Central and a location adjacent to the key Admiralty MTR interchange offered the oppor-tunity to create a new commercial hub for Hong Kong. The ability to take a long-term perspective was the key to success. Creating direct ac-cess to the Admiralty MTR as well as good pedestrian and vehicular link-ages ensured that both locals and visitors flooded to the new prestig-ious shopping mall on the island. They came to shop, eat, greet, or meet in a diverse range of new at-tractions, work in either of the three,

premium office towers or stay in any of the four five-star hotels. Swire Properties had raised the bar for retail-led, mixed-use develop-ments to a new level; a stand-alone world-class brand in its own right.

Many would have seen this as the perfect template, instantly replicable across the expanding Swire Properties’ geography. But the company saw new success would come from identi-fying original opportunities, and the transportation of its respected design-led management skills.

Thus we created a series of distinc-tive brands, precisely engineered for their setting. Designed to deliver inno-vative benefits for their new homes, while at the same time building their own and enhancing Swire Properties’ reputation for quality.

The Taikoo Li brand was conceived and created specifically for Mainland China. The objective was to offer a dif-ferent kind of shopping experience; an alternative to the conventional in-tensity of the enclosed, multi-floor mall.

Swire Properties was deter-mined to establish a low-rise, open-air destination brand that promised a more compelling experience; de-signed to be more relaxed, intimate and intriguing. The concept has been complemented by Swire Hotels’ decision that Taikoo Li was the ideal setting for the introduction of its pre-mium "The House Collective" brand into Mainland China.Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu

T A I K O O L I

There are now two Taikoo Li branded complexes. The first saw the tradi-tional bar area of Salitun in Beijing transformed into a hugely popular lifestyle destination.

The second, Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu has recently opened in the centre of Chengdu on a site that wraps itself around the historic Buddhist Daci Temple and incorpo-rates many restored historic buildings. In October 2015 the retail complex was selected as a global winner in the US-based Urban Land Institute Global Awards for Excellence, widely accepted as one of the development industry’s most acclaimed accolades.


T A I K O O P L A C E


The transformation of an old industrial site into the city’s largest privately-owned busi-ness district housing over 300 international companies and a thriving community is tes-tament to Swire Properties’ long-term approach, originality of thinking, and com-mitment to sustainable development.

The management of Taikoo Place believe an ideal working environment will impact positively on productivity and contribute to

the tenant’s success. Therefore, along with work, the travel, social, cultural and enter-tainment needs of everyone are accommo-dated with thoughtful precision.

The confidence and ingenuity of the brand is clearly evidenced by the creation of blueprint, an innovative accelerator pro-gramme and the first start-up initiative organised by a commercial developer in Hong Kong.

Swire Properties has been operating successfully in Miami for nearly 40 years, focusing on large-scale residential de-velopment. The purchase of a nine acre, city centre site allowed for a carefully planned 5.3 million sq ft retail-led, mixed-use complex incorporating two office blocks, two residential towers, both sitting atop a 500,000 sq ft shop-ping centre, and a further 80-floor mixed-use tower.

All that has been achieved successfully in Hong Kong has been applied to the new Brickell City Centre, but with an added Miami twist. While the centre fully embraces the public transport system, serious accom-modation is made for cars, with over 3,000 parking spaces. Southern Florida’s inclement weather has been largely appeased with an environmentally friendly overhead canopy of glass, steel and intricately aligned louvres that will cool shoppers allowing for an open-air, naturally lit pedest rian experience and connect the sep-arate parts of the centre.

To accommodate the differing requirements across the portfolio, Swire Hotels have created two world-class hotel brands. The flawlessly-designed, award-winning "The House Collective" with its immaculate service appeals to the most discerning worldly-wise travellers. While the lifestyle business brand ‘EAST’ more than satisfies the busi-nessman who enjoys comfort and design presented in a relaxed and thoughtful manner.

Each individual hotel has been designed to reflect clearly its particular setting, and integrate positively with the other components within the relevant complex mix – to their mutual benefit.

Swire Properties’ purchase of a rare site in Guangzhou offered the opportunity to develop a complex that was both original and acutely attuned to the nature of the city and person-ality of its inhabitants. Appealing to a recently enfranchised Chinese consumer looking for new brands and compelling experiences, the project was designed to reflect the quality, inventiveness and trust so admired in the company’s Hong Kong premium product.

Taikoo Hui, with its linguistic derivation in ‘confluence’ and ‘gathering’, was created to be the premium lifestyle destination of choice for the city; upgrading shopping, business and visitor expectations alike.

The Swire Properties design philosophy for clean, simple and elegant spaces is followed meticulously by the Hui brand. This has re-sulted in an environment that is supremely airy and light.

Shanghai will host the second Taikoo Hui complex in 2016. This marks a return to the city where Swire first traded back in 1867. Ideally located near iconic Nanjing Road and with easy access to and from the city, the proven integrated mix of premium retail and dining, Grade-A office space and three luxury hotels, will see HKRI Taikoo Hui become the city’s new lifestyle sanctuary.

Over the last two decades, not only has the company substan-tially reduced the energy it consumes, it has manifestly enhanced the surrounding neighbourhoods. Going forward there will be no let up in the practical action the company takes

to ensure it contributes to a credible sustainable future. As in the past, this will continue to take the form of environ-mental protection, community engagement, social care and cultural initiatives.

Brickell City Centre and its CLIMATE RIBBON™

Interior of Cityplaza, Hong Kong

The most effective initiatives in sustainability have a technologi-cal and human context. Along with the support of an internation-al team of specialists and academics, Swire Properties has created a revolutionary signature feature within their Brickell City Centre complex that will deliver substantial benefits for all. The CLIMATE RIBBON™ is a 150,000 sq ft undulating canopy of steel, fabric, glass and precisely angled louvres that covers the open spaces and connects the different blocks of the centre.

Acting as a sophisticated environmental management system, and in effect creating its own controlled ‘micro-climate’, the CLIMATE RIBBON™ protects visitors from the city’s inclement weather, captures sea breezes to regulate air flow and tempera-ture, collects rainwater for reuse and becomes a partial filter for solar radiation.

Ultimately, this feature will deliver something unique to the outdoor-loving Miami customer – a comfortable, open-air pedestrian experience.

Swire Properties’ role as a pioneer and industry leader in green building management has been recognised with the presentation of a ‘Grand Award of Facilities Management’ at the 2014 Green Buildings Awards.

This top award, Hong Kong’s most respected accolade for sustainable buildings, was presented to the Taikoo Place and Cityplaza developments in recognition of their outstanding per-formance and wider contribution to the built environment. The awards jury highly commended Swire Properties on its decade-long research into com-prehensive building energy manage-ment systems and their incorporation into both their own properties and the adjacent public areas.

The award supports the breadth and substance of the company’s underly-ing approach to sustainable building development. This includes research collaborations with world-renowned universities to set the highest standards, the adoption of globally-accepted best practices and the sharing of experience and knowledge with peers, both locally and globally.

This learning and detailed work has practical benefits across the com-pany’s portfolio. For example plans already exist to reduce the energy intensity in the two new Taikoo Place office towers by 25% upon completion.


Swire Properties has a long history of positive engagement within the com-munity. This has seen the company first identify valuable initiatives and then become active participants in their resolution. As the company’s footprint has expanded, so has the breadth of its involvement.

In MIAMI, FLORIDA, the Brickell City Centre team and Swire Properties Inc. are willing participants in the ‘Habitat for Humanity’ programme which helps con-struct housing for low income families in the city. Volunteers from the centre have already contributed their time and skills, and seen 12 new houses completed.

In BEIJING, CHINA, the company sponsored, and the Taikoo Li team helped restore a 500-square-metre community garden that had suffered badly from ne-glect. The exquisite ‘Harmonious Garden’ now stands transformed as an elegant and calming oasis for the local community.

Swire Properties will maintain the gar-den in its present state for at least the next five years.

ISLAND EAST, HONG KONG, has a very special place in Swire Properties’ heart. Not only is it the company’s home, it was the transformation from old dockyard to the modern large-scale residential estate of Taikoo Shing that established its business. So sharing the love stories and tales of 15 elderly resi-dents of Island East with the rest of the community was both an evocative and original opportunity to connect the past and present. With substantial help from the Swire Properties Community Ambassadors, who painstakingly chron-icled the oral histories and collected an array of texts and images, these memo-ries were shared and displayed in a unique exhibition in Taikoo Place, ‘Stories from Island East’, and then re-corded in a book.

C O M M U N I T Y C A R I N G F U N D

To widen the company’s philanthropic scope and include community care in addition to the existing focus on the environment, arts, culture and education, Swire Properties has established the Community Care Fund. This fund will support smaller-scale charity projects in Hong Kong and Mainland China. These include those nominated by the company’s employees and involve its Ambassador teams.

Swire Properties is an admired supporter of culture and art within its developments. This is part of a long-term commitment to enhance the quality of people’s lives and stimulate engagement between em-ployees, tenants, residents and visitors, giving immediate pleasure to the community and leaving a legacy for the future.

Nowhere is this better demonstrated than at the newly opened Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu complex. A number of renowned artists from across the world were commissioned to create 21 original pieces of sculpture that focus on the fundamental elements of modern city life – humanity, culture, heritage and nature. The sculptures are intended to mirror the his-torical role of art in town squares as central points for the community to gather. They are now perfectly at home in their open-plan, low-rise Chengdu setting.

The individual pieces, variously composed of steel, bronze and glass, are both abstract and figurative in form. With subjects that concentrate on people, culture or nature, the sculptures have been deliberately placed to be in perfect harmony with each other and their environment. Taking inspiration from the Daci Temple’s over-1,400-year history, the collection speaks to its audience about how our contemporary world can coexist and learn from our past and traditions.

Swire Properties has also signed framework agreements to develop complexes in Dalian Port, Dalian, and Qiantan, Pudong New District, Shanghai. Our completed investment portfolio now totals 25.4 million sq ft (2.4 million sq m). 11.7 million sq ft (1.1 million sq m) is under development.

We have expanded our collection of distinctive, high quality residential properties in Hong Kong

and Miami. Our respected Swire Hotels brand has opened new hotels and widened its portfolio with the launch of a number of admired stand-alone restaurants.

It is through a combination of detailed local knowledge, on-the-ground presence and the latest thinking regarding responsible sustainable development, that we are now creating a series of vibrant and successful communities on a wider inter national canvas.

This positively managed commercial complex comprises 10 towers – interlinked by air-conditioned footbridges – and over 6 million sq ft of premium office space, with One Island East, the imposing 68-storey tower, rising above.

Taikoo Place is home to over 300 international companies including some of the world’s most successful and forward-looking firms, Lenovo and MetLife among them. An advanced satellite and fibre-optic infrastructure guarantees high-speed communications around the clock.

In 2014 we launched blueprint, an equity-free accelerator programme with 20,000 sq ft of co-working space. This is the first start-up initiative created by a private developer in Hong Kong.

The commercial community is invigorated by a pioneering tenant engagement programme and an array of leisure and cultural amenities. These are designed to transform Taikoo Place into a destination for office workers who want to work and relax in a more considered manner. A variety of bars and restaurants, original public art and a year-round calendar of cultural activities centred at multi-purposed ArtisTree are important contributors to what makes this a thriving centre. TAIKOO PLACE APARTMENTS, a new 30-floor serviced residence with 111 units, has now been completed.

Cityplaza, Hong Kong Island’s largest shopping mall and lifestyle business hotel EAST, owned by Swire Properties, are only a five-minute walk away.

The centre boasts Hong Kong Island’s largest shopping and entertainment mall, three premium office towers and a highly regarded business hotel.

Cityplaza, which primarily serves customers who live and work in the eastern part of Hong Kong, has recently completed a HK$100 million facelift. This enhancement programme saw an upgrade of the mall’s facilities and interior finishes as well as the introduction of over 30 local international retail brands and an easily-accessible category zoning system designed to reinforce the shopping experience. Among the new arrivals will be the opening in early 2016 of a two-floor, 49,000 sq ft branch of the renowned lifestyle bookshop, Eslite Spectrum. Among the existing favourites that remain is the ever-popular ‘Ice Palace’, ice-skating rink and cinema, ‘UA Cityplaza’.

The 345-room lifestyle business hotel EAST, Hong Kong, continues to be an important social anchor for the neighbourhood. The hotel’s popular restaurant and rooftop bar, Sugar, remain favoured meeting places – significantly contributing to Cityplaza’s vibrant sense of community.

Sited above the Admiralty MTR, one of the city’s busiest transport interchanges, Pacific Place is a fully integrated complex of three premium office towers, an exclusive 270-suite serviced residence and a quartet of outstanding five-star hotels, among them Swire Hotels’ own impeccably designed 117-room, The Upper House. All anchored by the eponymous, internationally acclaimed shopping mall where visitors and tenants are reaping the rewards of the impeccable HK$2.1 billion redesign project led by globally- renowned designer Thomas Heatherwick. Together, these components have continued to set new standards for retail-led, mixed-use properties and remain the city’s principle lifestyle destination.

Enhancement of the surrounding neighbourhood and the development of the local community have continued apace with three new important entrants. Swire Hotels have opened a stand-alone restaurant in the very centre of Pacific Place itself. The Continental, inspired by the grand cafés of Europe, has already received very positive reviews.

The 28-storey tower, 28 Hennessy Road, with its cleverly designed ‘sky’ garden, and its close neighbour, the 19-storey Generali Tower introduce much new prime office space immediately adjacent to Three Pacific Place. Those who work here are now able to enjoy the shopping and dining amenities in the upgraded Star Street Precinct.

The 90 international brands and a number of added attractions continue to make the centre an appealing destination in its own right.

Citygate Outlets’ proximity to Hong Kong’s International Airport and Tung Chung MTR station, with its easy connection to Kowloon and Central, makes the centre accessible to both international, tourist and local customers alike.

As well as offering substantial discounts on world-famous brands, the spacious, naturally-lit Citygate Outlets mall has 15 outlets in which to eat or drink, a spa and one of the largest kinetic fountains in Asia. Its place as one of Hong Kong’s premier leisure destinations is enhanced by its close proximity to the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, the Giant Buddha, Hong Kong Disneyland and Asia World-Expo.

Many international aircraft manufacturing and airlines are housed in the 9-floor, Grade-A office tower within the complex. This also includes a 440-room hotel, Novotel Citygate Hong Kong. Both are made more inviting by the open space that surrounds the centre, and are often used for a variety of special events.

The five-member consortium that owns the centre has purchased an adjacent site for future commercial development.

Located in Beijing’s Chaoyang diplomatic district, Taikoo Li Sanlitun’s distinctive open-plan, low-rise layout is inspired by the city’s traditional ‘hutong’, and overlaid with a contemporary architectural aesthetic. This has created an intimate, welcoming atmosphere for visitors as they relax and stroll through the lanes.

Taikoo Li Sanlitun’s 19 irregular and angular buildings are separated into two discrete zones, North and South. Taikoo Li Sanlitun South, with its dynamic, more colourful buildings offers a popular selection of brands. While the uncomplicated and calmer style of Taikoo Li Sanlitun North, laid out around an open courtyard, perfectly reflects the understated luxury and the elegance of the international brands it showcases.

Taikoo Li Sanlitun is home to over 200 retail outlets, a multiplex cinema, two multi-purpose cultural and event spaces – The Orange in the southern zone and The Red in the northern zone.

An array of eclectic public art, adds to the character of the centre. The 52 places where its patrons can choose to eat or drink, makes Taikoo Li Sanlitun one of Beijing’s most dynamic and diverse dining scene.

The Opposite House, Swire Hotels’ award-winning property, complements the exciting originality of the retail experience. Conceived by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, its interiors celebrate traditional and modern Asian-influenced design.

In February 2014 we completed the purchase of the final 20% interest in Taikoo Li Sanlitun, and it is now wholly-owned by Swire Properties.

Wrapping itself around the over 1,400-year-old Buddhist Daci Temple, the innovative low-rise, Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li is designed to acknowledge the history and character of its setting, whilst immersing visitors in a unique shopping experience and injecting new vitality into the neighbourhood.

The complex is located in one of Chengdu’s most popular shopping areas close to Chunxi Road and Hongxing Road, and is connected to the rest of the city by the central metro lines 2 and 3. Shoppers and visitors can enter the retail area through a new subway plaza above Chunxi Road station.

The design of the retail component provides a new interpretation of traditional Sichuan architecture. The centre has restored and re-used six Chinese heritage buildings, including the icon Guangdong Guildhall, while incorporating the latest building techniques and materials.

110 new brands to Chengdu will seduce the shoppers as they stroll through the lanes. The centre’s 300 stores are curated in an original manner. A ‘Fast Lane’ incorporates luxury brands and high-end contemporary fashion, designed to meet today’s consumers’ aspirations. While the ‘Slow Lane’ comprises a line-up of outdoor diners and al fresco cafes, along with lifestyle stores ideally suited to the traditionally leisurely-paced style of the Chengdu people.

The complex is perfectly complemented by a 100-room luxury hotel managed by Swire Hotels, The Temple House. The reception of the hotel is a converted, original temple structure – taking guests back in time as they relax in the heart of the bustling city. Adjacent to the hotel are 42 serviced apartments and a 47-floor Grade-A office tower, Pinnacle One.

The complex comprises a shopping mall, two premium office towers, and a Mandarin Oriental hotel, with a further 24 serviced apartments. Opened in 2011, Taikoo Hui has already become one of the city’s leading lifestyle destinations.

Situated in Guangzhou’s prestigious Tianhe central business district and easily connected on Metro lines 1 and 3, Taikoo Hui provides solid commercial opportunities and exciting social experiences for the city. Taikoo Hui’s world-class shopping mall is characterised by its scale, distinctive design and abundant natural light. With an eclectic mix of renowned international brands and interesting local designers, the centre has upgraded the city’s existing style credentials and redefined its retail practices. Inviting green spaces and piazzas have added an attractively

original ambience. A large tree-lined outdoor terrace, with its cafes and restaurants, is the perfect oasis to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, offering dining in a relaxed setting.

The development also includes two Grade-A office towers which are now home to a number of Fortune 500 companies. The complex’s reputation for exemplary hospitality was substantially enhanced by the opening of a 263-room, five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel – the first in Guangzhou.

Taikoo Hui has benefited greatly from our commitment to research-led, environmentally friendly construction and management practices. This has already resulted in substantial savings in energy and reduced building heat effects.

INDIGO is a retail-led, mixed-use development consisting of a stylish shopping mall, office tower and business hotel. The newly opened children’s playground will soon become part of a planned 17-hectare park adjacent to the centre.

Located in Jiang Tai area in the city’s Chaoyang district, INDIGO is a 15-minute drive from Beijing Capital International Airport, and is linked to the Metro Line 14. The centre is close to the renowned 798 and the Caochangdi art zones.

The mall’s contemporary architecture, with its sweeping skylight, designed to flood the interiors with natural light. A smooth transition is created to the surrounding parkland by way of an original glass-covered Winter Garden – the signature feature

of the development. Conceived as an original large open event space, it is ringed on one side by a carefully selected range of dining options, tiered to enhance the views and the impact of their position.

ONE INDIGO, a 25-storey Grade-A office tower, is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Daimler and Nestle.

The development’s third component is EAST, Beijing, with its elegant curved façade and impressive views over the adjacent parklands. This is Swire Hotel’s first EAST-branded lifestyle business hotel in Mainland China.

INDIGO mall and ONE INDIGO have been awarded respectively LEED Gold and Platinum certifications by the US Green Building Council.

This project is our second Taikoo Hui-branded mixed-use development in Mainland China. It includes a large retail mall, two prime office towers, three luxury hotels and a number of serviced apartments. Given the primacy of its location and the comprehensive nature of the offer, the complex will become the next focal point for business and leisure in Shanghai.

The complex is sited on the iconic shopping thoroughfare of West Nanjing Road and is served by three metro lines, of which Line 2 is operational with lines 12 and 13 targeted to open in 2016. Close proximity to two major highways and easy access to the city’s two international airports, Pudong and Hongqiao, will ensure smooth connectivity for the large reservoir of willing retail and commercial customers.

The development’s architectural language recognises both the historic location in its scale and facades, and the traditional hustle and bustle of the city’s shopping areas with its lower-level street facings.

A central attraction for leisure visitors will be the extensive shopping mall that will feature an impressive roll call of global luxury and lifestyle brands, as well as local star designers. These will be joined by numerous dining and entertainment attractions.

Two premium office towers will provide high-end accommodation and impeccable management for businesses. Three luxury hotels, including one from Swire Hotels, will deliver world-class hospitality for both business travellers and tourists alike.

Brickell Key is now a thriving, much-demanded residential and commercial community on the shores of Biscayne Bay, adjacent to Miami’s dynamic financial district – and still connected by the original bridge.

Brickell Key consists of six million sq ft of real estate space, which includes 2,700 luxury apartments. The community encompasses 10 residential towers, two office buildings, a five-star hotel and a village-styled retail component – each with stunning views across the bay and an inward calm that comes from the constant proximity to water. The development successfully achieves an extraordinary balance between two divergent cultures, island and urban.

The development’s original design concentrates the taller buildings at the north end of the island to enhance the south-facing views and maximise the free space on the waterfront for recreation and relaxation. This has also created a generous area of open space in the centre of the island that has been turned into a village green. The residential and cultural ecosystem has been deliberately enhanced with extensive parkland, a natural tree canopy, recreational areas and numerous publicart installations, including Manuel Carbonell’s famed 30-foot ‘El Centinela del Rio’.

The distinctive curved façade of the 329-room Mandarin Oriental dominates the southern end of the island, with a man-made beach alongside for the island’s ‘sun worshippers’.

The centre will be launched in two phases from 2016. Then it will define the Brickell neighbourhood and connect with every aspect of Miami’s vibrant and metropolitan lifestyle.

Phase 1 will see the opening of a large shopping centre designed to satisfy a prosperous, but underserved market. The 352-room EAST, Miami will be Swire hotels’ first EAST hotel in America. The centre will also include 89 serviced residences, two prime office towers, and two luxury residential buildings, named REACH and RISE.

A new 80-storey tower, One Brickell City Centre, will open in Phase 2 and connect the centre with famed Brickell Avenue. In doing so, it will become the front door to the development. This tower, one of the tallest buildings in Eastern America, will include a further retail component, Grade-A office space, condominiums and a second hotel, with a signature restaurant and lounge.

At the heart of Brickell City Centre is a unique thousand-foot-long undulating canopy of steel and glass designed to admit natural light while channelling the city’s breezes for the comfort of the visitors. Together with an innovative answer to water management and resource conservation, the CLIMATE RIBBON™ has already won many plaudits for its original approach to environmental sustainability.

The city’s Metromover light rail system which passes through the site and the adjacent interstate I-95 will ensure seamless connections with Miami’s urban fabric and transportation infrastructure.

The manner of our residential development planning and the meticulous attention to detail has resulted in a portfolio of blue chip real estate in Hong Kong and Miami – establishing levels of integrity that ensure our properties retain their value over the long term.

Over the recent years the company has bought a number of original properties to market with a great deal of success. The imaginative cluster of four exclusive towers in Mid-levels, Hong Kong, is moving to completion. Practically all 126 apartments in AZURA are sold and ARGENTA, with its 30 apartments, each occupying an entire floor, are close to being fully sold. AREZZO, our 48-storey residential tower has also been completed and there is great interest in its homes with their spectacular views of Victoria Harbour. The fourth, ALASSIO, a 50-storey residence comprising 197 apartments, will complete in 2016. Together they will create a new residential community in Mid-levels.

MOUNT PARKER RESIDENCES in Island East and DUNBAR PLACE in Kowloon, have both been completed and are largely sold. WHITESANDS, a new development, has come to market in 2015. Its 28 modern detached houses is our first residential project on Lantau Island, allowing buyers to take advantage of the lush natural setting and beautiful coastline.

We continue to enhance our serviced apartments portfolio in Hong Kong. In addition to the 270 luxury serviced suites of PACIFIC PLACE APARTMENTS, we have completed the 111-suites of TAIKOO PLACE APARTMENTS.

Our residential portfolio in Miami has grown substantially. Phase 1 of Brickell City Centre will see the completion of 780 units in two distinctive towers. Setting new standards for contemporary living in Miami, the apartments in RISE and REACH were handed over to purchasers in 2015. The new centre will build on the success of our thriving residential island community on Brickell Key.

Our international expansion has given Swire Hotels a wider canvas on which to excel, confidently expressing the Swire Properties brand personality with creativity and panache.

Over the past seven years Swire Hotels have created two hotel brands. The House Collective are small, beautifully designed luxury properties that appeal to those who desire an intimate and personalised experience with impeccable service. The second, EAST, is a portfolio of contemporary lifestyle business hotels. What characterises every Swire hotel is their acute sense of place and class.

In July 2015, Swire Hotels opened its third The House Collective hotel. The Temple House is part of Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu, Mainland China. It joins the acclaimed, award-winning The Upper House in Pacific Place and Kengo Kuma’s distinctive, emerald glass-covered creation, The Opposite House, in Taikoo Li Sanlitun, Beijing.

Designed by MAKE Architects, The Temple House reflects our commitment to preserve the cultural heritage of the site and marry that with contemporary design. Beautifully restored historical Chinese courtyard buildings dating from the Qing Dynasty have been incorporated into the

hotel itself – with one housing the lobby and another, the Spa. Along with a mix of classic, local and modern restaurants, a pool-side bar and a club, the hotel will become a must-visit destination for the city’s glitterati.

After following the much admired Cityplaza landmark, EAST, Hong Kong, with the opening of EAST, Beijing, a core component of the INDIGO complex, Swire Hotels will open its first hotel in North America – EAST, Miami in 2016. This will be a 263-room hotel, with 89 serviced apartments attached – named EAST Residences. This property will become an important complement to the new Brickell City Centre development and an ideal meeting place for the surrounding business community. Excitingly, the hotel will also be home to the famous Uruguayan restaurant, La Huella.

Given Swire Hotels much lauded hospitality credentials it was natural for the company to create a subsidiary, Swire Restaurants. And they have already opened five new stand-alone restaurants – Plat du Jour, Public and Mr & Mrs Fox in Taikoo Place, and The Continental, a new fine-dining establishment in Pacific Place which premiered in 2015 to rave reviews.

As part of our engagement with the community we positively encourage our employees to take an active and enthusiastic role in the Swire PropertiesCommunity Ambassador Programme. The scheme is designed to support a wide variety of charitable initiatives in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Miami. These activities include building homes for low income families in Miami, restoring a community garden in Beijing and selling books for children’s charities in Hong Kong. In 2014, nearly 1,300 volunteers contributed more than 5,500 hours of service to 48 different projects.

Those who work in our offices are very much a part of our community. It is therefore important for

us to provide attractive working environments, believing this has a positive impact on their productivity, contributing to successful business.We have long been committed to supporting local cultural initiatives and positively encouraging the participation on the part of our tenants.

Furthermore, the active use of our wide-ranging assets, including the spaces in our developments and our proven event management expertise has allowed us to bring a broad range of arts and cultural events to our communities as well as the wider population in Hong Kong and Mainland China. In the last 18 years we have organised over 1,000 arts and cultural events.

This policy is underpinned by our environmental, health and safety standards, investment in the enrichment of our communities and a supplier code of conduct.

In 2014 we increased the occupied space in our investment property portfolio in Hong Kong and Mainland China yet decreased our energy consumption by 3%. Further, we have targeted to reduce our annual energy consumption by 52 million kWh by 2020, from its 2008 level. 26 of our buildings have BEAM certification, of which 18 of them have the highest rating, Platinum.

In recognition of our stewardship of the environment and for creating social value for our communities, we were selected to become a constituent member of the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index (‘HSSUS’) in September 2015 – one of only 30 listed Hong Kong companies – and in the 2015 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI).

Swire Properties is actively involved in both local and international sustainability initiatives as a member of the Hong Kong Green Building Council. We were the founding partner of the Business Environment Council, and are also enthusiastic members of the Harbour Business Forum and the International Energy Agency.

We include all suppliers in our approach to sustainable development. Most important of all is the commitment of our people to the company’s sustainability policy. To support them we invest heavily in training, in 2014 we organised over 1,800 relevant courses.

The combination of Swire Properties’ continuing involvement in credible research, of which the partnership with Tsinghua University, Beijing, is a successful component, and its rigid insistence on best practice, will ensure we can truly future-proof all our stakeholders.
