After two decades of slow but steady development in the Chinese Mainland, Swire Properties has accelerated its expansion in the region. Recent projects include Taikoo Li Qiantan, Taikoo Li Sanlitun West, Taikoo Li Sanlitun North's expansion, ZHANGYUAN and Xi'an Small Wild Goose Pagoda Taikoo Li. As a pioneer of urban regeneration in the Chinese Mainland, Swire Properties is good at building block-based shopping malls under the “Taikoo Li” product line in urban, historic areas.

Swire Properties has pivoted its development strategy from its previous "asset-heavy" model to an “asset-light model”, and opting to partner up with like-minded collaborators. Another strategy that has emerged is the Company's preference of selecting historic and industrial areas as sites of urban regeneration. In July 2022, Swire Properties and Jing'an Real Estate Group signed an agreement to jointly manage and operate ZHANGHYUAN, aiming to develop “another world-class commercial landmark” on Nanjing Road West, while Xi'an Small Wild Goose Pagoda Taikoo Li will be developed in a scale and manner comparable to Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu. The opening of Taikoo Li Qiantan in Shanghai will undoubtedly drive the development of the economy and commerce in project is INDIGO phase II in Beijing, located at the node of an urban traffic artery. In the Chinese Mainland's real estate industry, “Swire Properties” to some extent represents the top level of design and development capabilities, brand attractiveness and operation philosophy.

The Company's flagship product line “Taikoo Li” has various advantages, including its integration of local culture, outstanding operation capabilities, dynamic brand mix and sustained popularity through continuous marketing campaigns. Another strength of the “Taikoo Li” model is its scalability and duplicability. The open block style design can accommodate the changing and diverse customer groups, and give flexibility for future growth. Swire Properties' ultimate ambition is to find a development strategy unlike those of other Hong Kong developers in the Chinese Mainland. As land supply is decreasing, urban regeneration is undoubtedly another effective way for expansion. In addition, the adoption of an “asset-light” model, combined with cooperating with powerful partners, has accelerated the launch of its projects. Swire Properties has become its field's top player who has found the ideal cooperation model: partnering up with are central and state-owned enterprises.
