Gross rental income, including contributions from joint-venture projects, rose 7% year-on-year to HK$21,036 million, and net rental income increased 7% year-on-year to HK$16,481 million. This healthy performance was attributable to continuing positive rental reversions and contributions from new investment properties, both in Hong Kong and on the mainland. Positive outlook With a land bank sufficient for development needs of over five years, the Group will have more than three million square feet of residential gross floor area, mostly small- to medium-sized units, to be completed annually in Hong Kong over the next three financial years. It will continue offering new projects for sale when ready. The Group will additionally continue pursuing land acquisition opportunities in order to sustain its high volume of completion in the long term. The Group will continue to bolster the competitiveness of its investment property portfolio. It will achieve this objective not only through implementing asset enhancement initiatives but also carrying out trade- and tenant-mix refinement to strengthen its premium brand. The Group’s investment properties coming on stream will further strengthen its total rental income over the next one to two years.
