With over 1,200 rooms, it is the city’s second-largest hotel complex by room count, according to real estate agent Jones Lang LaSalle.  

The Shanghai-based builder and developer proposed a debt restructuring plan in March and further enhanced it in October, which received creditor support. Shimao’s efforts to restructure include selling high-profile assets.

Creditors representing more than 80.72% of the in-scope debt principal have backed the restructuring proposal. A court-sanctioned creditor vote is expected early next year to finalise the plan. 

Earlier this month, a Hong Kong court dismissed a liquidation case through a court ruling. 

Shimao set the initial asking price for the property at HK$6bn in March 2023. The company’s decision to reduce the price reflects challenges faced by the real estate sector in Hong Kong, where property values have plummeted since 2019 revealed a person familiar with the matter. 

Shimao founder Hui Wing Mau previously reduced the price for an office floor in Hong Kong’s The Center by nearly 23%.
