Property Sales – Five new projects scheduled for launch in 2025
Total revenue from property sales for the Interim Period, including property sales of associates and joint ventures, attributable to the Group was HK$2,448 million (2023: HK$6,635 million).
The Group has five new residential projects scheduled for launch in 2025. These include ONE CENTRAL PLACE in Central, Yau Tong Ventilation Building Property Development, Grand Mayfair III in Yuen Long, and LOHAS Park Package Thirteen Property Development in Tseung Kwan O which have obtained pre-sale consents. In addition, the Group expects to obtain pre-sale consent for Wing Kwong Street/Sung On Street Development Project in To Kwa Wan in calendar year 2025. The timing for launching these projects for sale will depend on when the pre-sale consent is received and the prevailing market conditions.

As at 31 December 2024, the Group had a land bank of approximately 19.4 million square feet of attributable floor area in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney, which is sufficient to meet the Group’s development needs over the next few years.
Diversified and balanced investment properties portfolio showed long-term resilience
For the Interim Period, the Group’s attributable gross rental revenue, including share from associates and joint ventures, was HK$1,748 million (2023: HK$1,777 million), representing a decrease of 1.6% year-on-year. This decline was primarily due to emerging challenges in the retail sector. Given the dynamic nature of the current operating environment, the Group is continuously refining and optimising our tenant mix, while also organising ongoing marketing and promotional activities in our shopping malls to boost foot traffic.
Among the different sectors, residential showed the biggest improvement, with occupancy rate rising by 1.1 percentage points to 89.0 % (2023: 87.9%). The industrial sector also saw an increase of 0.2 percentage points to 89.7% (2023: 89.5%). Hong Kong remains well-positioned to capitalise on its status as an international hub and financial centre. The ongoing integration into national development initiatives such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and the Northern Metropolis proposed by the HKSAR Government, will further bolster Hong Kong’s role as a key hub connecting the country with the world. Additionally, the various talent schemes launched by the HKSAR Government, along with the recent pickup in financial market activities, are expected to bolster the Group’s rental income over time.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group has approximately 13.2 million square feet of attributable floor area of investment properties and hotels in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney.
Hotel Operations – Continuous improvement in profitability

Long-haul markets also experienced more than a 50% growth. The Group’s overseas operations in Singapore and Sydney continued to deliver encouraging results, with continuous improvement in gross operating profit during the Interim Period. For the Interim Period, the Group’s hotel operating profit increased by 2.8% to HK$261 million, driven by sustained occupancy rates and stringent cost containment measures.
Looking ahead, the opening of the Kai Tak Sports Park in the first quarter of 2025, the development of panda tourism, and the resumption of multiple-entry permits for Shenzhen residents are expected to support the growth of the tourism industry and inject new momentum into Hong Kong’s hospitality industry. Management continued to prioritise cost control while actively seeking new strategies to enhance the quality of our hotel services and improve efficiency.
With robust financials and sustainable strategies, the Group is well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities
The Group is making steady strides on its sustainability journey. In the Interim Period, Sino Land was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) while maintaining its position in the DJSI Asia Pacific Index for the third consecutive year. In addition, Sino Land has recently been selected as a constituent of the FTSE4Good Index Series and achieved an AA+ rating in the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series for the second consecutive year. These recognitions reaffirm Sino Land’s commitment to promoting ESG and sustainability.
Our robust financials and sustainable business strategies underpin the Group’s commitment to creating long-term value for our shareholders:
- Approximately HK$11.3 billion of total attributable contracted sales are yet to be recognised, with approximately HK$9.1 billion expected for recognition in the second half of FY2024/2025.
- Five new residential projects scheduled for launch in 2025.
- Diversified and growing investment property portfolio providing stable recurrent income.
- Committed to sustainability and promoting positivity in the community.

- These innovative floor washers combine cutting-edge technology, energy efficiency, and sleek design for a superior cleaning experience
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 February 2025 – In response to the common challenges faced by homeowners—such as stubborn odours, tangled hair, and the inconvenience of using multiple cleaning tools—Tineco has unveiled its latest innovations: the Floor One S9 Artist and Floor One Switch S7 Stretch. These next-generation floor washers offer exceptional flexibility, powerful deep-cleaning performance, and an enhanced user experience, designed to meet the needs of today’s modern households.
FLOOR ONE S9 ARTIST: ADVANCED 360° CLEANING WITH HYPER STRETCH TECH AND SELF-CLEANING INNOVATION
The Floor One S9 Artist offers an advanced solution for modern homes. Featuring the 360° SmoothDrive Technology, it reduces handholding effort by 50%* through flexible left-right movement and a 90° Swivel Design, which adjusts the speed of the left and right wheels in real-time. In addition, the transmission of signals to the AI chip enables intelligent matching, ensuring smooth forward pushing, backward pulling, and effortless steering.
Additionally, the Floor One S9 Artist incorporates Hyper Stretch Technology, featuring a slim 12.85 cm flat height, which allows easy access under furniture to effectively remove hidden dust and ensure no corner is left untouched.
With exceptional cleaning performance, the Floor One S9 Artist features a Dual-Block Anti-Tangle Design that efficiently handles both pet and human hair without tangling. The MHCBS (Maintain Hygiene Clean Brush System) continuously rinses the brush with fresh water, while a squeegee presses against the roller brush to scrape off dirt and immediately sucks the dirty water into the wastewater tank. Additionally, the Flashdry Self-Cleaning System enhances cleaning efficiency by using 85°C hot air to heat fresh water, dissolving stains from the pipe to the brush roller for a deeper, more thorough self-cleaning result.
Upgrades were also made to enhance user experience, such as the Backtrack Water Erasure function that eliminates water streaks, and the Repositioned Clean Water Tank that enhances cleaning efficiency with reduced weight for effortless operation. The optional Electrolyzed Water feature delivers a superior cleaning experience, making the Floor One S9 Artist a versatile and user-friendly floor care solution.
FLOOR ONE SWITCH S7 STRETCH: THE 5-IN-1 CLEANING REVOLUTION FOR EFFORTLESS FLOOR CARE

The Floor One Switch S7 Stretch is a 5-in-1 cleaning tool, combining floor washing, vacuuming, crevice cleaning, soft surface care, and high-reach dusting into one compact device. Designed to replace traditional vacuums, it effortlessly handles wet and dry messes, including oily stains and hard-to-clean debris.
The Floor One Switch S7 Stretch revolutionizes floor cleaning with its advanced washing capabilities. With 22KPa of suction power, it effortlessly lifts dirt, debris, and hair, ensuring a deep and thorough clean every time. Like the Floor One S9 Artist, it features the MHCBS, which rinses the brush with fresh water 450 times per minute to guarantee spotless floors. The 180° lay-flat design and HyperStretch Technology allow it to clean under furniture and reach tight spaces as low as 13cm. Its Dual-Block Anti-Tangle Design prevents hair tangles, while dual-sided edge cleaning ensures no corner is left untouched. The FlashDry Self-Cleaning System utilizes fresh water heated to 85°C, combined with hot air, to dissolve stains and dry the brush in just 5 minutes, keeping it fresh and odour-free.
The Floor One Switch S7 Stretch also excels as a powerful vacuum cleaner. With its 5-stage filtration system which captures 99.97% of dust and debris as small as 0.3μm. Meanwhile, the ZeroTangle Brush effortlessly picks up hair without wrapping, and an LED headlight illuminates hard-to-reach areas, making cleaning under furniture effortless. The vacuum mode offers up to 70 minutes of runtime, powered by upgraded pouch cells that triple battery lifespan.

Ne Zha 2 Dominates Hong Kong Box Office for Four Straight Days, Crowned 2025’s Top Film

The sequel to the 2019 hit “Ne Zha” premiered in Hong Kong on February 18 and hit the theaters on February 22, drawing enthusiastic crowds and critical acclaim. The film reimagines the mythical tale of Ne Zha—a divine warrior from Chinese folklore—with modern storytelling and cutting-edge animation, captivating audiences across the Chinese mainland since its Lunar New Year debut.
The Hong Kong premiere at Causeway Bay drew a star-studded crowd, including representatives from its Hong Kong and Macau distribution teams, local cultural figures, and residents. Industry professionals praised the film’s technical brilliance and narrative depth, with many cinemas, such as Kowloon Tong’s Festival Grand Cinema, scheduling near hourly screenings to meet demand.

Two Hong Kong moviegoers shared their excitement after attending early screenings. One resident remarked, “I don’t usually watch adult-oriented animated films, but this one is definitely worth watching. Chinese animation can now rival, or even surpass, foreign productions.” Another added, “Chinese animation keeps improving. Compared to films six years ago, the artwork is more beautiful, the visuals more vibrant, and the storytelling completely unexpected.”
LO Shuk-pui, Director of the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Culture, Sports, and Tourism Bureau, highlighted the film’s collaborative effort, stating, “The script is exceptionally well-written, with sharp dialogue and rich character development. I heard 138 companies worked on this project over five years—the dedication and technical excellence are evident.”
WONG Bak-ming, Chairman of Hong Kong’s Oriental Film Company, emphasized its cultural significance, noting that Ne Zha series has successfully brought traditional Chinese stories to the global stage. It proves Chinese animation can achieve world-class results, and they’re proud to contribute to this milestone.
Globally, Ne Zha 2 has grossed over $1.698 billion as of February 18, surpassing “Inside Out 2” to become the highest-grossing animated film in history and entering the top eight of the all-time global box office chart. Due to its sustained popularity, the film’s screening period in Chinese mainland has been extended to March 30.
From its mythological roots to its record-breaking success, Ne Zha 2 continues to redefine the possibilities of Chinese animation, bridging cultural heritage with global appeal.
