Link Real Estate Investment Trust (Link REIT) is one of the largest REITs in Asia by many measures including asset value. Managed by Link Asset Management Limited (Link), a leading, independent and fully-integrated real estate investor and manager focusing on the APAC region, Link REIT has been entirely owned by independent investors since its listing in November 2005 as the first REIT in Hong Kong.
After initially acquiring a portfolio of shopping centres and car parks in Hong Kong valued at around HK$33.8 billion at the time of its IPO, Link has grown and diversified the Link REIT’s property portfolio. It remains focused on its strengths and track record in owning and actively managing malls and carparks in its key markets across Asia Pacific, namely Hong Kong, tier-one cities of the Chinese Mainland, Singapore and Australia, with a total valuation of around HK$216 billion (As at 31 March 2026). Link aims to continue delivering resilient returns and growth to Unitholders.
Link REIT is a constituent of the Hong Kong securities market benchmark Hang Seng Index, as well as a component of the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index, the FTSE4Good Index Series and the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index.
Asset management, portfolio management and capital management are three pillars of our management strengths. We are committed to integrating Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations into our strategy and daily operations.

We focused on building up our core competences in asset management, capital management and portfolio management. Asset enhancement was the most important topic we had to address following our listing in 2005 as we aimed to provide high-quality public spaces and to better serve the Hong Kong community. We initiated a series of asset enhancement initiatives, including placemaking, thematic makeover, as well as improvement in shopping experience, accessibility and tenant mix, supported by extensive market research and agile management. |
Approaching the 10th anniversary of Link REIT’s listing, we diversified our exposure beyond Hong Kong including Chinese Mainland and overseas. We also broadened our investment models to include joint ventures, minority ownership and development projects. In addition, we initiated the capital recycling and reallocation programme to ensure our portfolio quality and maintain a robust capital structure. |
We aim to deliver resilient returns and growth to our Unitholders. We focus on our strengths and track record in owning and actively managing malls and car parks in our key markets across Asia Pacific. To further diversify and enhance Unitholder value, we will also develop new capital partnerships in which Link may co-own and/or manage third-party capital. |
