Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – Hang Lung Properties Limited (“Hang Lung” or the “Company”; stock code: 00101) is pleased to announce the opening of Westlake 66, a 390,200-square-meter mixed-use destination in Hangzhou. Westlake 66 is a sophisticated, lifestyle-driven development comprising a world-class shopping mall, five Grade-A office towers, and Zhejiang Province’s first Mandarin Oriental hotel.

The complex is situated in the heart of the Wulin Central Business District, itself one of the most prosperous in China. With stations accessing three metro lines within easy walking distance, the district also boasts one of Hangzhou’s most valuable foot traffic catchment areas.

Robust demand for this prime location has resulted in a highly curated retail mix, spanning 105,900 square meters, weighted toward sophisticated lifestyle and experiential brands. The complex features a diverse retail offering, including several luxury brands, fashion & accessories, food & beverage, lifestyle & entertainment, and more. It has already achieved a retail leasing rate of over 90%, approximately a third of which are first-to-market concepts. More stores are scheduled to open in phases, with the opening rate set to build steadily throughout 2026.

Of these, Office Tower E is already fully leased and in operation.

Placemaking Through Commerce, Culture, and Community
The design of Westlake 66 exemplifies our commitment to placemaking. The complex prioritizes community-centric design, weaving commercial, cultural, historical, and natural spaces together, creating an immersive and compelling environment that emphasizes community engagement and wellbeing.

This philosophy is exemplified by “The Oasis,” a 10,000+ square-meter landscaped urban sanctuary, seamlessly linking the office towers, shopping mall, and hotel within a panoramic corridor that offers an elevated, open-air environment at the heart of the CBD, enhanced by the generous space and lush landscaping.

Westlake 66 also incorporates the city’s rich cultural heritage through the preservation of Song and Yuan dynasty relics, which will be housed in an in-mall exhibition hall. Complementing this effort, the two historic buildings at 5 Yesutang Lane and 1 Jingqingli have been carefully restored and revitalized. These cultural heritage sites will open later in 2026, creating a living connection between this modern space and the ancient community of Hangzhou.

Leading in Sustainable Development
Hang Lung’s commitment to sustainable development is demonstrated at Westlake 66 through renewable energy integration and pioneering material use, including low carbon concrete bricks — a first for commercial developments in Mainland and Hong Kong. The complex has secured and achieved certifications and pre-certifications under multiple global green building standards, including China Green Building Design Label, WELL, LEED, and BREEAM, reflecting a holistic approach to environmental performance and long-term resilience.
Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung, added, “Westlake 66 has been built to be the new ‘Pulse of the City’ for Hangzhou, contributing to the city’s position as an international consumption center. By creating a dynamic, community-centric hub, we aim to enrich the urban fabric of Hangzhou while strengthening the economic environment. With a compelling array of first-to-market brands and unique experiences, we are confident that Westlake 66 will set a new regional benchmark and create lasting value for the Company and the city.”
Looking ahead, to advance the Company’s V.3 strategy, the complex will expand its retail area by 40% and triple its prime street frontage to over 200 meters by partnering with Baida Group, with the new phase slated for handover in 2028, further driving sustainable, long-term growth.
