The Shandong region is considered to be China’s bread basket, which ensures strong economic activity. Weifang has around 8.9 million inhabitants and is an upper prefecture-level city. In addition to being a supply center for the agribusiness in Shandong, the Weifang region has a strong presence in industrial production. Furthermore, its location near South Korea and Japan makes it an important logistics hub and therefore possesses excellent express way and railway connections, a class I port, as well as an Airport that is one of the four airmail processing centers of China.
Euro Asia currently holds a number of properties and has a project portfolio, acquired through its JV partner SNI. With limited debt and existing revenues, management believes the Company is in an excellent position to benefit from the strong growth in demand for both commercial and residential property in the region, a development supported by government policy. In addition to existing demand and organic growth of the economy, an important driver for the real estate market will be the relaxation of urbanization legislation, facilitating migration to prefecture-level cities such as Weifang.
