Our Chair Sent His Congratulations for the Re-opening of Grand Gateway 66 in a Special Video

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, our Chair, Mr. Ronnie C. Chan, was unable to travel to Shanghai in person to celebrate the re-opening of Grand Gateway 66. Instead, Ronnie recorded a short video to celebrate this remarkable achievement. He said the re-opening was particularly meaningful as it coincided with the 60th Anniversary of the Hang Lung Group. He said: “Grand Gateway 66 was our first commercial complex in mainland China. I still remember when we bought the plot back in December 1992. Over the past three decades, we have witnessed the rapid development of Shanghai and the growth of the luxury goods market in mainland China.”
 
He also said: “We have full confidence in the luxury goods market in China and the enhancement project at Grand Gateway 66 is of great importance to us. Today, we are presenting to Xuhui district citizens and Shanghai citizens the brand-new face of Grand Gateway 66 as a five-star shopping mall.”
