Westlake 66, Hang Lung's 11th large-scale commercial development on the Mainland, occupies a prime location on a significant part of Wulin Square in the Xiacheng District of Hangzhou. Renowned as one of China's top-tier, burgeoning cities, Hangzhou is also a famous tourist destination, well positioned to capture the booming domestic and international travel markets. The development, with a gross floor area in excess of 194,000 square meters consisting of retail, office and hotel, looks to continue the Hang Lung success story across the Mainland, built on sustainable design, a customer-centric focus, and outstanding service to become the pulse of the city.

Westlake 66 will enjoy an abundance of public green spaces, including the mall's rooftop garden, and embrace two buildings of historical significance within the development. The elegant cluster of towers that will seamlessly integrate corporate business life with world-class retail and dining experiences with easy circulation through a sprawling, modern, luxury mall, will be a dazzling addition to the skyline of Hangzhou.

The Hang Lung "66" brand is well-positioned to lead the luxury sector. Confident in the prospects of the local market, Hang Lung envisages a future for Westlake 66 as a top commercial complex in the region and a landmark of luxury for eastern China. Mandarin Oriental is a natural partner for Hang Lung, as a brand synonymous with luxury and the heights of refined tastes. The addition of Mandarin Oriental to the Westlake 66 complex will be an integral part of delivering a truly world-class experience in line with Hang Lung's vision to attract and partner with leading brands to create a sustainable destination and compelling spaces that enrich lives.

Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung Properties, said, "We are excited to partner with one of the most prestigious brands in luxury hospitality, Mandarin Oriental, in the company's latest development at Westlake 66 in Hangzhou. Bringing the most distinguished global brands to the cities in which we operate has always been at the core of our business strategy.
