Hutchison Premium Services (HPS) (www.hps.com.hk and www.hps.com.cn) aim to create "the first truly intelligent" homes and offices for the Group's property developments on both sides of the border, and Pacific Property Net (PPN) (www.pacificproperty.net) is positioned to become China's first online real estate agency.

PPN, on the other hand, is supporting a conventional "offline" property consultancy recently launched by HWP in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Dongguan. Although it highlights Group developments and serves as a purchasing and leasing platform for them, its scope is extending to landlords, tenants, owners and developers across China.

These two portals are aligned principally to support the Group's property interests - embracing internet technology to provide value-added services to tenants with HPS while creating a real estate revolution in China with PPN.
