On September 21, 2026, Hong Kong's New World Development announced that the Shanghai Stock Exchange approved the spinoff and listing of its real estate investment trust (REIT), expected to raise 3.82 billion yuan (US$570 million). The REIT will hold the Shanghai Hong Kong New World Tower, which includes K11 Art Mall and K11 ATELIER NWT. New World will sell the property's holding company to the REIT for 4.01 billion yuan and expects net proceeds of 3.24 billion yuan. The listing is part of the developer's strategy to cut debt and improve liquidity amid a weak property market.
