New World Development looks like it’s trying to buy time by selling assets and cutting costs to bring down its debt, but high borrowing costs and a shaky property backdrop could still keep pressure on profits. The real question is whether its well-known projects and rental properties can stay strong enough to steady the business as regulations, competition, and long-term demand shifts reshape the market.Read more

Hang Lung Properties is reshaping its malls and new mixed-use sites to match how city shoppers in mainland China now spend their time, which could lift rents and keep high-quality tenants coming in. But weak store sales, a crowded office market, and heavy debt could keep returns under pressure even if the turnaround plan stays on track.Read more

The key question is whether tighter cost control and careful borrowing can outweigh weaker demand in Mainland China and pressure in Hong Kong offices.Read more

New World Development is betting on a rebound in Hong Kong home buying and a growing appetite for upscale shopping and entertainment, with its K11 malls and big new projects positioned to benefit. The big question is whether heavy debt and a still-shaky mainland property market let that turnaround play out as planned.Read more

Wharf is betting that demand for high-end Hong Kong property and its best malls can hold up even as the wider market stays shaky. The big question is whether strong locations and careful debt use can outweigh weaker sales in China, tougher retail competition, and a slow decline in its port business.Read more
