English follows Chinese (后附英文版)
6月15日,一年一度的ULI中国大陆夏季会议——上海主会议圆满落下帷幕。在新一轮疫情防控的背景下,本年度夏季会议采用线上直播的方式举行。凯龙瑞集团创始人及董事长、ULI 亚太区副主席、ULI 中国大陆主席郑喜明先生致开幕辞,向各位来宾介绍了本届夏季会议的议程,并指出相关议题与ULI当前在碳中和、可负担住宅与教育等方面的聚焦相一致。
主旨演讲
美银证券房地产证券业务董事总经理及全球负责人Sarah Cooper发表了 “全球经济概览” 的主旨演讲,讨论了当今主要颠覆性科技对全球经济以及房地产行业的影响。
新加坡国家发展部宜居城市中心资深研究员,ULI 亚太区主席邱鼎财做了题为 “宜居、可持续及韧性亚洲城市” 的主旨演讲。邱主席回顾了新加坡从一个土地狭小、国力落后的国家,如果通过健全的城市规划,建设成一个宜居、韧性、多中心和包容的城市。他指出,宜居性和韧性是所有城市的长期目标,通过系统性的规划建设方法,高密度的亚洲城市,包括新加坡、香港、东京和首尔,实现了宜居、可持续和韧性发展的目标。
汉国置业执行董事王承伟向邱主席提出了关于新冠疫情如何影响城市发展趋势的问题,邱主席认为,在疫情中,人们习惯了远程办公,虽然人们仍倾向于面对面交流,但去办公室工作的场合将不可避免的减少。基于新加坡的经验,随着政府对包括公共交通在内的基础设施充分投入,城市将拥有多个中心,郊区也将得到进一步发展。
开发商圆桌讨论
研讨嘉宾阵容包括:铁狮门中国区首席执行官及高级董事总经理陈志超,瀚溥物流联合创始人及首席执行官许汉斌,合生创展集团联席总裁、合生商业集团联席董事长兼总裁、合生不动产总裁罗臻毓,以及Hines执行董事贺喜霞。高力国际中国区董事总经理邓懿君主持了本环节研讨。
陈志超提到了行业面临的三大挑战:1.政府对房地产的调控,包括三条红线等,给民营开发商带来了在流动性方面的挑战,这一点从6月初上海土拍市场便可见一斑:大部分土地都是由国企开发商摘得;2. 后疫情时代对商办类资产管理提出了更高的要求;3. 全球通胀压力传导到开发成本。同时,他提出了三点机遇,包括:1. 市场涌现出更多优质的不良资产;2. 疫情下政府支持政策,如审批流程缩短等;3. 后疫情背景下,资产管理将出现聚集效应。
许汉斌认为,房地产投资者愈来愈重视ESG,在投资项目过会、招投标、设计、施工等过程中,会全程考量相关决策对环境的影响。从一定意义上,注重施工人员的健康福祉,采用预制技术、安装光伏板等,不仅满足ESG要求,并减少了成本,提升了业绩。
罗臻毓提到,疫情证明人们有社交活动的需求,包括去写字楼办公和去商场购物消费。资产管理方需要从运营能力、管理能力、创新能力方面发挥优势,保持竞争力。从融资角度看,开发商需要提升运营表现来吸引投资者。
贺喜霞回顾了Hines在ESG方面的努力,并指出:ESG表现不如预期的商办资产,可能会在未来接受更多市场挑战。提升ESG表现,可以为开发商带来更大的机遇,包括提供差异化的产品、增加租户粘性等。
商业物业的创新用途
研讨嘉宾阵容包括:优仕美地医疗创始人宋科瑛,香港置地中国物业发展及投资设计部副董事及主管黄天龙,凯德投资零售与办公空间资产管理副总裁郑建雄,融侨集团商业管理上海融侨中心项目总经理梁炜骅以及柯路建筑董事李琳。瑞安新天地商业总经理王莹主持了本环节研讨。
每位嘉宾简单介绍了各自目前正在专注做的一些项目,并对商业物业的创新用途发表了各自看法。宋科瑛认为地产与医疗最好的结合是提供顶级的医疗实体,整合国内外先进的医疗观念,为客户提供多元化的服务。黄天龙提出,开发商应该在项目前期考虑到业态组合的灵活度,包括空间组合、机电结构等,以适应商家与客户群体的不断变化。郑建雄认为,新冠疫情改变了许多公司和员工对工作的概念,因此,需要提供灵活性的租赁选择。梁炜骅谈到了 “数字化运营”,通过现实与虚拟的技术相结合,助力于购物中心提供差异化的服务,包括营销信息推送、寻车助手、艺术展览等。李琳认为,公共空间和开放空间可以提升商业价值。由于人们更愿意为体验买单,新的商业空间越来越多融入体验性的业态。

与行业领袖的对话
国寿资本董事总经理刘梦洁在线采访了博枫资产管理亚洲房地产业务负责人及董事总经理Stuart Mercier。Stuart新当选成为ULI中国大陆主席,其任期从2022年7月起,为期两年。在投资项目类型选择方面,Stuart认为首先需要考量团队的项目运营能力,另一个关键因素是经济背景,包括是否存在长期的需求基础。关于房地产行业近期关键风险因素的提问,Stuart指出,通胀以及应对通胀的货币紧缩政策是未来12-18个月的关键风险因素之一。关于疫情防控带来的挑战,Stuart提到,从3月起,摆在博枫面前最重要的事情是照顾好团队,包括向员工提供生活必需品。Stuart认为所有人都必须自信,因为一切都会好起来,办公场所和商场已经恢复正常。

On June 15, the main conference of the annual ULI China Mainland Summer Meeting – Shanghai was successfully held. Under the backdrop of COVID-19 prevention and control, the Meeting was held online via live broadcasting. Hei Ming Cheng, Founder and Chairman of KaiLong Group, who also serves as ULI Asia Pacific Vice Chair and ULI China Mainland Chair, delivered opening remarks, briefing on the meeting agenda and emphasizing ULI’s focus on carbon neutrality, affordable housing and education.
Keynote Speeches
Sarah Cooper, Managing Director and Global Head for Real Estate Equity Sales at BofA Securities, delivered her speech on the State of the World, that touched on recent major disruptions to the world’s economy and their impact on the real estate sector.
In his keynote speech on “Livable, Sustainable and Resilient Asian Cities”, Khoo Teng Chye, Fellow at Centre for Livable Cities and ULI Asia Pacific Chair, revisited how Singapore transformed from a poor country with a limited territory to a livable, resilient, polycentric and inclusive city through sound and considerate urban planning. Chairman Khoo further pointed out that livability and resilience are critical long-term goals of all cities. By taking a systems approach, high-density Asian cities such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Seoul have been able to meet the goals of livable, sustainable and resilient development.
In answering the question raised by James Wong, Executive Director of Hon Kowk Land Investment, on how the pandemic impacts the urban development trends, Chairman Khoo believes people still prefer to face-to-face interactions though they become used to work-from-home amid the COVID-19 lockdowns. Based on Singapore’s recent experiences, with enough investment in infrastructure, including public transit, cities will have multiple centers that can support further expansion.
Developer Panel
Panelists included Wilson Chen, CEO China and Senior Managing Director, Tishman Speyer, Hank Hsu, Co-founder & CEO, Forest Logistics, Lucas Loh, Co-President, Hopson Development Holdings Limited, Co-Chairman and President, Hopson Commercial Group, President, Hopson Real Estate and Tina He, Managing Director, Hines. Tammy Tang, Managing Director, China, Colliers, served as the moderator.
Wilson mentioned three major challenges facing the industry: 1. China’s austere regulations including the “three red lines”, have brought liquidity challenges to private developers (for instance, in early June, most of the land plots put up for sale in Shanghai were acquired by SOE developers; 2. The post-epidemic era puts forward higher requirements for asset management of commercial properties; 3. Global inflationary pressure is transmitted to development costs. Wilson also indicated three opportunities: 1. Quality non-performing assets have emerged in the market; 2. Impacts from supporting policies, including the shortening of the approval process; 3. In the post-epidemic era, consolidations in the asset management sector will further aggravate, boding well for stronger players.
Hank indicated that real estate investors are paying more attention to ESG and are considering the impact of relevant decisions on the environment in the whole process, including underwriting, design, tendering, construction and operation. In a sense, paying attention to the health and well-being of construction works, adopting prefabrication technology and photovoltaic panels not only help developers meet their ESG goals, but also reduce costs and improve performance.
Lucas mentioned that the epidemic has proved that people have a need for social interactions, including going to office buildings and shopping malls. Asset managers need to give full play to their advantages in terms of capabilities in operation, management and innovation to keep up competitiveness. In terms of funding, developers need to improve their operational performance to attract investors.
Tina reviewed Hines' efforts in ESG and pointed out that the commercial assets with poor performance of ESG will lose the game in the future. Improving ESG performance can bring greater opportunities to developers, including providing differentiated products and increasing tenant stickiness.
Innovative Uses of Commericial Property
Panelists include Dr. Keying Song, Founder, Yosemite Clinic & Hospital, Terence T.L. Wong, Associate Director & Head of Design, China Property, Hong Kong Land, Alvin Tay, Vice President, Asset Management, Retail & Workspace, CapitaLand Investment, Alvin Liang, General Manager, A.F.A Shanghai, Rongqiao Commercial Asset Management, and Lin Li, Director, CLOU Architects. Erin Wang, Commercial General Manager, Shuion Xintiandi moderated this panel.
Each panelist briefly introduced the projects they are currently focusing on and expressed their views on the innovative uses of commercial property. Dr. Song believes that the best combination of real estate and medical services is to provide top-level medical space, integrate the space with advanced medical concepts at home and abroad, and provide customers with diversified services. Terence mentioned that developers should consider the flexibility of tenant mix in the early stage of the project, including flexibilities in space layout, building structure and MEP, in order to re-adapt to the changing mix of tenants and customers in the future. Alvin Tay believes that COVID-19 has changed the concept of work for many companies and their employees. Therefore, flexible leasing options need to be provided. Alvin Liang mentioned "digital operation" for retail malls and he believes the virtual reality technology helps to provide differentiated services for shopping centers, including marketing initiatives, car-finding system and art exhibition. Lin believes that good placemaking of public and open spaces can enhance commercial value. As people are more willing to pay for experience, more and more experience-oriented tenants are integrated into new commercial projects.
Recognition of ULI AP Excellence Award Finalists

Wen Wang, Assistant Vice President, KaiLong Group, served as the moderator.
May introduced the key takeaways of CallisonRTKL’s recent report on Net Zero, including carbon neutralization, net zero in energy, carbon, water, and waste, implied carbon and related case studies. John introduced the sustainability targets and goals set by Hang Lung Properties in the short, medium and long term, and elaborated on how the group achieved the goal of energy efficiency and emission reduction. Frank Krüger showed, in some project cases, that space user comfort, energy consumption and carbon reduction can be enhanced through better design, remodeling and real time monitoring of building performance. Dong shared with the audience about ULI’s research program on Beijing CBD’s transformation and upgrading, and carbon neutralization initiatives. Daniel introduced Akila, a digital management platform for buildings, which helps building owners reduce carbon emissions and better manage ESG requirements by digitizing buildings and equipment, as well as integrating building performance data.
Industry Leader Dialogue
Carrie Liu, Managing Director, China Life Capital, interviewed Stuart Mercier, Head of Asia, Real Estate, Brookfield Asset Management and the newly elected chair of ULI China Mainland who will serve from July, 2022 to June, 2024. In terms of key considerations for selecting property sector, Stuart believes that asset management team’s operation capacity and knowhow are the first to consider, while the other key factor is the economic backdrop, including whether the property sector has long-term demand. With regard to the recent key risk factors facing the industry, Stuart pointed out that inflation and associated monetary tightening policies are one of the key risk factors in the next 12-18 months. For the challenges posed by the epidemic prevention and control measures, Stuart mentioned that since March, the most important thing for Brookfield is to take good care of the team, including providing employees and their family members with daily necessities. Stuart believes that everyone must be confident, because everything will be fine, and the office and shopping malls as seen have returned to normal.

Wilson, Vice President, Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design, Adjunct Assistant Professor, University of Hong Kong, Founding Director, Barry Wilson Project Initiatives Professor. Jenny Zhang, ESG and Decarbonisation Director, ULI Asia Pacific, moderated the panel.
Prof. Cheshmehzangi introduced his new book “The City in Need: Urban Resilience and City Management in Disruptive Disease Outbreak Events”, and believes one of the key elements is 3Rs, namely reflections, responses and readiness. Sylvester shared with the audience his experience on coastal city adaptation strategies for both acute and chronic risks and how the projects were financed, including public private partnerships, green finance, venture equity, securitization, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and even crowdfunding and tokens. Dou showed two recent project cases and shared her take on various facets of city resilience from a landscape perspective, not only touching on the environmental side, but also the social and economical side. Barry introduced his new book “Futureproof City: 10 Immediate Paths to Urban Resilience” and he believes “change in the mindset”, “change in the process” and “change in the vision” are critical for tackling the climate problems.
