- 28 April 2026 - Hang Lung Properties Limited ("Hang Lung" or the
"Company"; stock code: 00101) is pleased to announce the opening of
Westlake 66, a 390,200-square-meter mixed-use destination in Hangzhou.
Westlake 66 is a sophisticated, lifestyle-driven development comprising a
world-class shopping mall, five Grade-A office towers, and Zhejiang
Province's first Mandarin Oriental hotel. As the Company's 11th
project in the Chinese Mainland, it establishes a dynamic new hub of
commerce, culture, and community, meticulously designed to deliver a
superb spatial experience for the new generation of consumers.
The complex is situated in the heart of the Wulin Central Business
District, itself one of the most prosperous in China. With stations
accessing three metro lines within easy walking distance, the district
also boasts one of Hangzhou's most valuable foot traffic catchment
areas.

Robust demand for this prime location has resulted in a highly curated
retail mix, spanning 105,900 square meters, weighted toward
sophisticated lifestyle and experiential brands. The complex features a
diverse retail offering, including several luxury brands, fashion &
accessories, food & beverage, lifestyle & entertainment, and
more. It has already achieved a retail leasing rate of over 90%,
approximately a third of which are first-to-market concepts. More stores
are scheduled to open in phases, with the opening rate set to build
steadily throughout 2026.

Westlake 66 also encompasses five Grade-A office towers spanning 95,600
square meters of modern workspace designed for top global and domestic
companies. Of these, Office Tower E is already fully leased and in
operation. Zhejiang Province's first Mandarin Oriental hotel is set to
open in early 2027, offering 194 luxury rooms and suites, and a set of
world-class wellness and dining facilities.

Mr. Adriel Chan, Chair of Hang Lung, said,"We are thrilled to celebrate our 66th
anniversary alongside the opening of Westlake 66. The project is a
testament to Hang Lung's 'We Do It Well' philosophy, demonstrating
exceptional design, build, and service quality, and a deep commitment to
the Hangzhou and Zhejiang communities. This opening is underpinned by a
very strong retail leasing rate, showing the strength of Hangzhou's
retail market, and the broader economy."

Placemaking Through Commerce, Culture, and Community
The design of Westlake 66 exemplifies our commitment to placemaking. The
complex prioritizes community-centric design, weaving commercial,
cultural, historical, and natural spaces together, creating an immersive
and compelling environment that emphasizes community engagement and
wellbeing.

This philosophy is exemplified by "The Oasis," a 10,000+ square-meter
landscaped urban sanctuary, seamlessly linking the office towers,
shopping mall, and hotel within a panoramic corridor that offers an
elevated, open-air environment at the heart of the CBD, enhanced by the
generous space and lush landscaping.

Westlake 66 also incorporates the city's rich cultural heritage through
the preservation of Song and Yuan dynasty relics, which will be housed
in an in-mall exhibition hall. Complementing this effort, the two
historic buildings at 5 Yesutang Lane and 1 Jingqingli have been
carefully restored and revitalized. These cultural heritage sites will
open later in 2026, creating a living connection between this modern
space and the ancient community of Hangzhou.

Leading in Sustainable Development
Hang Lung's commitment to sustainable development is demonstrated at
Westlake 66 through renewable energy integration and pioneering material
use, including low carbon concrete bricks — a first for commercial
developments in Mainland and Hong Kong. The complex has secured and
achieved certifications and pre-certifications under multiple global
green building standards, including China Green Building Design Label,
WELL, LEED, and BREEAM, reflecting a holistic approach to environmental
performance and long-term resilience.
Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung, added,
"Westlake 66 has been built to be the new 'Pulse of the City' for
Hangzhou, contributing to the city's position as an international
consumption center. By creating a dynamic, community-centric hub, we aim
to enrich the urban fabric of Hangzhou while strengthening the economic
environment. With a compelling array of first-to-market brands and
unique experiences, we are confident that Westlake 66 will set a new
regional benchmark and create lasting value for the Company and the
city."
Looking ahead, to advance the Company's V.3 strategy, the complex will
expand its retail area by 40% and triple its prime street frontage to
over 200 meters by partnering with Baida Group, with the new phase
slated for handover in 2028, further driving sustainable, long-term
growth.
