According to the latest planning of Guangdong Province, Zhanjiang is a provincial sub-center city supported by Guangdong and is currently home to Baosteel, Sinopec, China Resources, BASF (Germany), and other Fortune Global 500 companies. The city had a GDP ranking 10th in the provincein 2020; a resident population of about 6.98 million, ranking 5th in the province, second only to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, and other cities, with massive consumption potential.

It is a commercial complexwith shopping mall and hotels, including a regional shopping mall of nearly 70,000 m2 (B2 for parking, B1-6F for commercial).The project is adjacent to People’s Square and at the intersection of multiple truck roads such as Shenchuan Avenue, Renmin Road, and Jiefang Road, with optimal accessibility (merely 15 minutes) to Zhanjiang Airport, New Guangzhou-Zhanjiang High-speed Railway Station, and Cruise Terminal, very convenient in transportation. With many residential buildings, schools, hospitals, office buildings, government agencies around, the project covers a population of more than 500,000  in 3 km radius, with complete supporting facilities, dense population, and thick atmosphere of life.

Stepping up Efforts for Laser-sharp Focused Expansion

E-Star CM Achieves Another Success in Guangdong Region

E-Star CM (6668.HK) was officially listed on HKEX (Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing) on January 26, 2021 as the first stock of purely commercial operation services in the Hong Kong stock market. Since its establishment, E-Star CM has built 5 commercial product brands: COCO Park, COCO City, iCO, COCO Garden, and Top Living. Currently, it has established a whole industry chain and full-process business management system, while actively promoting three operational models (entrusted management, brand management and output, and overall leasing) to acquire more commercial properties and expand its market share. As of June 30, 2021, E-Star CM has a total contract area of about 3.48 million m2 and provided services to 69 commercial property projects, in which those from third parties account for approximately 61.9% in project area. Region-wise, there are 44 projects in the Greater Bay Area, 10 in the Yangtze River Delta, 4 in Central China, and 11 in other regions. The business footprint covers 24 cities in China, including multiple major cities such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing, Chengdu, Changsha, and Xiamen, demonstrating the company’s market-oriented expansion capacity and a source of sustainable growth in the future.

As the location of the headquarters of E-Star CM’s business sectors and the origin of its star benchmark projects, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is an advantageous place where E-Star CM focuses its development.

The Zhanjiang Jiangxia Plaza Project co-built with Hongrui Property is another success of E-Star CM’s project expansion, which has demonstrated the market’s recognition of the Group’s commercial brand output and operation capacity, and is of strategic significance to enhancing the company’s expansion layout of “further developing the Greater Bay Area, covering regional core cities”. Adhering to its business philosophy of “creating urban prosperity with business wisdom”, E-Star CM will continue to help build a quality urban life based on decades of accumulated business operation capability and superior asset management level.
