SUNAC CHINA (01918.HK) chairman Sun Hongbin said he is cautiously optimistic on the property market, citing clear signs of repair in Tier-1 city housing demand while blaming low buyer confidence as the market’s core problem.

SUNAC will monitor REITs policy

SUNAC CHINA (01918.HK) chairman Sun Hongbin said he is cautiously optimistic on the property market, citing clear signs of repair in Tier-1 city housing demand while blaming low buyer confidence as the market’s core problem. Sun said the sector will undergo a structural business-model shift: traditional development will be iterated toward fund-based operating models, and high-quality held assets are likely to be securitized and monetized via infrastructure REITs. SUNAC will monitor REITs policy and sector dynamics and pursue a long-term transition toward fund/REIT-driven asset strategies.
