Mr. Ronnie C. Chan, Chair of Hang Lung Properties, speaking of the great significance of this year that marks Hang Lung Group's 60th Anniversary, said, "Our first commercial complex in Mainland China was Grand Gateway 66 in Shanghai. I still remember when we acquired this site in December 1992. Over the past three decades, we have witnessed the rapid development of Shanghai and the growth of the luxury goods market in Mainland China."

"We have full confidence in the luxury goods market in China and the enhancement project at Grand Gateway 66 is of great importance to us. Today, we are presenting to Xuhui district citizens and Shanghai citizens the brand-new face of Grand Gateway 66 as a five-star shopping mall."

Hang Lung has progressively branched out into the Mainland since the 1990s, with its business footprint now fully established in Shanghai, Shenyang, Jinan, Wuxi, Tianjin, Dalian, Kunming, Wuhan and Hangzhou. Since its opening in 2000, Grand Gateway 66 has been one of the most popular retail destinations in Shanghai. To further consolidate its leading position in the luxury retail market, the project undertook a large-scale AEI by phases beginning in the second quarter of 2017. As reported in the interim results ended June 30, 2020, rental revenue at Grand Gateway 66, which was undergoing the final phase of renovation, increased 15% compared to the same period last year to RMB 453 million. The remarkable results reflect the commercial benefits brought by the AEI.

Ms. Vera Wu, General Manager of Grand Gateway 66, said, "As a landmark luxury mall in Shanghai, Grand Gateway 66 has been evolving over the past two decades. We are determined to bring the best contemporary brands and shopping experiences to our customers while providing unparalleled services through innovative retail approaches. We hope that the transformation of Grand Gateway 66 will deliver an enriched brand matrix, providing our esteemed customers with a unique Hang Lung branded experience."

The transformed Grand Gateway 66 welcomes a constellation of international luxury brands including Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Cartier, Fendi, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, and Van Cleef & Arpels. The mall is also home to an extensive portfolio of specialty retailers, numbering more than 400, located in themed zones on different floors and encompassing luxury branded goods, affordable luxury goods, cosmetics, and the latest must-have trends, to name but a few. The mall's tailored services of the highest quality to its customers fully reflects Hang Lung's focus on customer centricity.
