HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 September 2025 – Hang Lung Group Limited (SEHK stock code: 00010) and Hang Lung Properties Limited (SEHK stock code: 00101) (collectively known as “Hang Lung” or “the Group”) today hosted a cocktail reception to celebrate their 65th anniversary, gathering important business partners, industry leaders, and key stakeholders to commemorate its legacy, and to explore what the future could bring. At the reception, the Group unveiled the “Hang Lung V.3” (“HL V.3”) strategy to drive its next phase of growth and provided updates on Westlake 66 in Hangzhou, its latest large-scale mixed-use commercial project.
“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.

SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 September 2025 – On the second day of HUAWEI CONNECT 2025, Zhang Ping’an, Huawei’s Executive Director of the Board and CEO of Huawei Cloud, delivered a keynote speech titled “All Intelligence: Empowering AI Pioneers for Industries”. He shared Huawei Cloud’s innovation and practices in AI compute services, foundation models, embodied AI, AI agents, and much more.
Zhang Ping’an, Huawei’s Executive Director of the Board and CEO of Huawei Cloud
Constant innovation in AI Compute Service: Unleashing powerful compute in the intelligent era
This year, Huawei Cloud announced its AI Compute Service powered by CloudMatrix384. The specifications of the Huawei CloudMatrix supernode will be upgraded from 384 cards to 8,192 cards. The supernodes can support a hyperscale cluster running on 500,000 to 1 million cards, thus providing robust AI compute, an invaluable resource in the intelligent era. Huawei Cloud also announced innovative memory storage with its Elastic Memory Service (EMS), which achieved an industry first by expanding video RAM with memory. This drastically reduces the latency of multi-round conversations on foundation models, greatly improving user experience.
Huawei Cloud has deployed fully liquid-cooled AI data centers in China’s Guizhou, Inner Mongolia, and Anhui. These AI data centers support 80 kW heat dissipation per cabinet, reduce power usage effectiveness (PUE) to 1.1, and offer AI-enabled O&M. This means enterprises do not need to reconstruct traditional data centers or build new ones. Instead, they require only a pair of optical fibers in order to connect to the data center and access efficient AI compute, as well as full-stack dedicated AI cloud services, on Huawei Cloud.
Zhang Ping’an pointed out that Huawei Cloud’s AI Token Service abstracts away the underlying technical complexity and directly provides users with the final AI computing results. This allows users to utilize the inference computing power in the most efficient way possible. The CloudMatrix384 supernode realizes the full pooling of compute, memory, and storage resources, decouples compute tasks, storage tasks, and AI expert systems, and converts serial tasks into distributed parallel tasks, greatly improving the inference performance of the system. In scenarios involving inference tasks with different latency requirements, such as online, nearline, and offline inference, CloudMatrix384 delivers an average inference performance per card that is 3 to 4 times that of H20.
At the conference, Zhang Ping’an announced the official launch of the AI Token Service powered by CloudMatrix384. The service delivers superior performance, service, and quality to customers.
Tackling challenges head-on: Helping enterprises build their own models
Huawei Cloud has been honing its Pangu Models by diving into industry-specific scenarios, and has worked with its customers to tackle their most pressing challenges head-on, reimagining what is possible in these industries. Huawei uses openPangu to provide best practices for AI training and inference, making it easier for developers to efficiently use AI computing power. Zhang Ping’an noted that, at the same time, Huawei is developing the closed-source Pangu Model. Huawei will continually increase investment in Pangu Models, and accelerate intelligent transformation across industries.
Pangu Models have been applied in more than 500 scenarios across over 30 industries, such as finance, manufacturing, healthcare, coal mining, steel, railways, autonomous driving, and meteorology.
Moving beyond terminals: Enabling infinite intelligence evolution on the cloud
This year, Huawei Cloud launched the CloudRobo Embodied AI Platform, which deploys complex algorithms and intelligent logic on the cloud to realize more lightweight robots. By taking advantage of the massive computing power and advanced AI models on the cloud, the platform makes robot execution more intelligent. Cloud intelligence overcomes the limitations that have been holding robots back, making them applicable to more scenarios.
To build a unified, open, and secure communication channel between robots and the cloud, Huawei Cloud has launched the Robot to Cloud (R2C) Protocol. Zhang Ping’an announced that the first 20 partners of the R2C Protocol were officially onboard.
Kunpeng Cloud Services: Empowering industry innovation with software-hardware synergy and an open ecosystem
One of Huawei Cloud’s key strategies is to develop Kunpeng-powered ARM cloud services that deliver performance, security, and reliability. In the past year, the number of Kunpeng compute cores on Huawei Cloud has increased from 9 million to 15 million, an increase of 67%.
GaussDB: Building efficient, reliable data foundations based on supernodes and full pooling
Based on general-purpose computing supernodes, Huawei Cloud’s GaussDB databases realize the layered pooling of compute, memory, and storage resources, and allow multi-read and multi-write on any node at the same time, breaking free from the restrictions of the traditional architecture where only the primary node supports data read/write.
