Swire considers residential brand boost in mainland

Swire, a Hong Kong-based developer, owner and operator of mixed-use commercial properties, said it may consider introducing its residential brand to the mainland in addition to its commercial ones.

"We have a strong residential brand in Hong Kong and Miami, and we are open to opportunities in the mainland if the right opportunity comes along," said Tim Blackburn, CEO at Swire Properties for Chinese mainland, on Tuesday.

"The company is exploring the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to kick off its residential projects in the mainland, considering the geographical advantages as well as governmental policy," he said.
