What Swire Properties does

Premium mixed-use property developer operating malls, offices and hotels in Hong Kong and mainland China, part of the Swire Group.

Earns most of its profit from rents on offices and shopping malls it owns for the long term, under multi-year leases in Hong Kong and, in mainland malls, partly as a share of tenants' sales. Residential sales and hotels add smaller, less regular income. Swire Pacific, the Swire family's listed holding company, owns most of it.

In one line: A HK/China premium mixed-use developer, part of the British Swire trading house.
