ISSUE 015 季刊 | Spring 2015 Edition

屯門坐擁新界西大型基建發展的地利優勢,加上消費模式漸向非高端貨品市場,帶動中檔零售業發展。坐落安定輕鐵站上的H.A.N.D.S,於2012年起進行提升,把安定商場和友愛商場二合為一,善用空間,發揮物業協同效應,成為領匯屯門區旗艦商場。項目投資額達4.77億港元,是領匯目前最大型提升工程,連同H.A.N.D.S,新界西已有六個領匯商場完成提升工程。

Massive infrastructural development in New Territories West, together with spending habits moving towards non-luxury segment, fuelled the growth of Tuen Mun's mid-market retail sector. With the completion of a HK$477 million asset enhancement project, The Link has made H.A.N.D.S into a one-stop shopping destination for the latest trendy goods by merging the former Yau Oi Commercial Centre and On Ting Commercial Complex. Including this flagship centre in Tuen Mun, The Link has already completed six enhancement projects in New Territories West.

美食薈萃 ・ 魅力綻放
Hangout of Choice Featuring International Cuisines

H.A.N.D.S前身是安定商場和友愛商場,服務街坊逾30年。隨著區內人口變更及新界西的交通配套發展,該商場需重新定位以迎合客群需要,並透過重新規劃佈局,貫通客流,優化設施,如空調及照明系統、提升暢通無阻通道設施等。商戶數目增加至近170個,服務範圍由原本屯門擴展至深井及荃灣一帶。場內逾千個泊車位,充分滿足顧客駕車購物需要。

H.A.N.D.S以「流動」為設計主題,針對年輕家庭及青年人,因此除了提供日常必需品,亦引入多家時尚服飾及配飾品牌,為社區注入活力。當中包括年輕設計師主理的HKID Gallery、本地時裝設計師任銘輝首間專門店112 mountainyam及DJ少爺占創立的本地時裝品牌MeeH,打造香港獨有本土潮流集中地。

民以食為天,食肆組合涵蓋多間首次進駐屯門區食府,包括中菜、新加坡菜、意大利及東南亞美食。當中「經典廚房」開設全港首間分店,更有充滿歐陸懷舊風情的Café1950,以及來自新加坡的Killiney,以國際化美食招徠跨區食客。

新設計亦將昔日各零散部分整合起來,並將商場分為五個區域,匯聚同類行業商戶,並以五個英文字母(H.A.N.D.S)及鮮明顏色區別,方便顧客。小型商戶雲集是商場特色之一,數目佔總數逾五成。此外,亦設有新式空調鮮活街市,既改善購物及衛生環境,亦讓居民選擇更多。


Located atop On Ting Light Rail station, H.A.N.D.S adopts mid-tier positioning with significant improvements in circulation and accessibility. The number of tenants has increased to nearly 170, and the catchment area has been extended to Sham Tseng and Tsuen Wan. With over 1,000 car park bays, it caters to the needs of shoppers coming by car as well.

With "fluidity" as the design theme, H.A.N.D.S features trend-setting fashion and accessories shops, appealing to youngsters and young families. Among retailers of locally designed products are HKID Gallery, 112 mountainyam and MeeH.

Offering Chinese, Singaporean, Italian and South-East Asian cuisines, the centre's diverse range of eateries includes Hong Kong's first Classic Show Room restaurant branch, the nostalgic Café 1950 and South-East Asian restaurant Killiney.

The new design features a one-mall concept that unifies the various parts of the property, and turns it into five distinct zones, identifiable by each of the five letters - H.A.N.D.S - and bright colours. Small tenants have a strong presence at H.A.N.D.S, accounting for half the shops. The fresh market has also been upgraded for a more hygienic, convenient shopping environment.

創意品牌 ・ 時尚概念
A One-Stop Shopping Concept

商場名稱H.A.N.D.S代表「Have A Nice Day Shopping」的閒適購物概念,各式商舖照顧生活所需,打造新世代的一站式購物熱點。

商場標誌靈感源自「對話方塊」,帶出與顧客緊密互動,迎合客群所需的目標,而「手掌」形狀的商場圖標,寓意服務團隊全情投入,熱情接待各方來客。

Creating an exciting new vibe in the neighbourhood, the centre new name stands for "Have A Nice Day Shopping", offering a one-stop shopping concept featuring both trendy lifestyle and daily necessities.

The centre's logo features a conversation bubble that signals the interactive relationship with customers, while a hand-shaped icon points to a passionate service team extending a warm welcome.

環保花園 ・ 天然採光
Family-Oriented, Eco-Friendly

新增設的家庭友善設施、戶外公共空間及環保概念天台花園,配以兒童遊樂場,一家大小有更多休閒活動空間。商場以LED照明全面取代商場原有的照明系統,中庭採用天然採光,內部亦採用自然通風設計,發揮環保效益。

The centre has added family-friendly facilities, such as open-air public spaces, a children's playground and a rooftop eco-garden. Energy-efficient systems for air-conditioning and LED lighting were also installed to reduce the centre's carbon footprint.

運動SHOW H.A.N.D.S 匯集社區愛心能量
轉化愛心飯盒送温暖
Turning Calories into Meal Boxes for the Needy
through "Let's Exercise @ H.A.N.D.S"

配合商場完成優化重新開幕,H.A.N.D.S特別舉辦「運動SHOW H.A.N.D.S匯集百萬能量」活動,展現朝氣勃勃的新形象,發放社區動力。為期兩個月的活動期間,H.A.N.D.S及指定的領匯商場設置慈善運動基地,讓大眾一同參與運動。參與者更可獲贈H.A.N.D.S愛心手帶,憑手帶到指定H.A.N.D.S運動商店可獲贈購物優惠!活動所累積的109萬卡路里能量轉化為近二萬個愛心飯盒,由領匯義工團隊於3月元宵節,聯同惜食堂捐贈予本地有需要的社群。

To celebrate the centre's opening, The Link set up sport stations at H.A.N.D.S and other selected shopping centres for two months. Participants were given H.A.N.D.S wristbands as offer tokens at the shopping centre. Total 1.09 million calories burned by visitors at the stations were accumulated and turned into approximately 20,000 meal boxes. The meal boxes were distributed by The Link's volunteer team in partnership with Food Angel to serve local underprivileged groups.

Seminar

王國龍指出,董事在專業技能、經驗、年齡和性別各方面多元化,匯聚不同的觀點和專業知識,有助董事會高效運作。非執行董事需是一個聆聽者,能夠分析形勢,以助尋找增值機會。設定任期上限,則可提供機會為董事會注入新血。

建立投資者關係 ・ 有賴雙向溝通
Two-way Communication Key to Successful Investor Relations

領匯近期獲納入作為香港股市指標的恒生指數,標誌發展新里程碑,加強投資界對房地產投資信託基金的認識,而部分指數基金、慈善和捐贈基金只能投資於指數成份股,因此有助領匯拓展投資者基礎,亦有助加強大眾對房託的認識,推動市場發展。

要贏取及維繫廣泛投資者的信心,關鍵在於緊密的雙向溝通。財務總監翟廸強說:「投資者除了期望公司提供理想回報外,更要有良好企業管治,而保持高透明度是主要元素。領匯透過有效渠道積極與基金單位持有人及其他持分者溝通,闡述公司的業務目標及發展進度,並聆聽各持分者和投資者的意見。」

The recent inclusion of The Link REIT in the Hang Seng Index, the benchmark for the Hong Kong stock market, marks a new milestone for The Link REIT. Not only will this enhance awareness of REITs in the investment community, but it will also expand The Link REIT's investor base, as some index funds, charities and endowment funds can invest only in index constituent stocks. This will further help to promote the development of the REIT market by enhancing public awareness of REITs.

To gain the confidence of a broad base of investors, the key is to maintain effective two-way communication. Hubert Chak, Director of Finance, said, "Nowadays, investors require a company not only to provide attractive returns, but also to operate with strong corporate governance. Transparency is a key attribute of good corporate governance. The Link REIT proactively engages with unitholders and other stakeholders through effective channels to articulate the business objectives and progress of The Link REIT and to collect their views and suggestions."

為讓投資者掌握公司的最新資訊,於截至2014年3月31日止財政年度內,領匯已與逾450名投資經理和分析員舉行會議及電話會議,包括出席12次投資者會議、企業日和八次路演,地點遍及亞洲、澳洲、歐洲及美國,亦為有關團體安排33次物業考察。

During the financial year ended 31 March 2014, The Link REIT has held discussions with over 450 individual investment managers and analysts at meetings and on conference calls, including participating at 12 investors' conference/ corporate days and eight roadshows in Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States.
