Link Plaza Liwan

Link Plaza Liwan (Chinese: 广州荔湾领展广场) is a large integrated shopping mall located at No. 8 Huangsha Avenue, Liwan District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. It was originally developed by Hutchison Whampoa Properties (Guangzhou Liwan) Limited and was previously known as The West City Plaza (西城都荟) and later Link Plaza Guangzhou (领展购物广场·广州). The mall is part of the portfolio of Link REIT, Asia's largest real estate investment trust, which acquired the property and rebranded it under its Link Plaza retail brand. The centre serves the Liwan district and broader Guangzhou market with retail, dining, and leisure offerings across multiple levels. Its location near Huangsha provides access to major transport links and the historic Shamian Island area. As a Link REIT asset, the mall benefits from the trust's asset management and enhancement programmes, which have been applied across its Hong Kong and mainland China portfolio. The property represents Link REIT's expansion into mainland China's retail real estate market, alongside other assets in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. The mall continues to operate under the Link Plaza Liwan name, serving as a community and regional shopping destination in western Guangzhou.

Link Plaza Liwan was originally developed by Hutchison Whampoa Properties (Guangzhou Liwan) Limited as The West City Plaza (西城都荟), a major shopping mall in Guangzhou's Liwan District. The mall is located at No. 8 Huangsha Avenue, a site in western Guangzhou near the historic Shamian Island and the Huangsha transport hub. At some point, the property was acquired by Link REIT, Asia's largest real estate investment trust, as part of its expansion into mainland China. Following the acquisition, the mall was rebranded as Link Plaza Guangzhou (领展购物广场·广州), aligning it with Link REIT's Link Plaza retail brand used across its Chinese portfolio. The mall was later renamed Link Plaza Liwan (广州荔湾领展广场), reflecting its specific location in the Liwan District. Under Link REIT's ownership, the mall has undergone asset enhancement initiatives typical of the trust's management approach, which aims to improve tenant mix, customer experience, and property value. The mall continues to serve as a key retail destination in western Guangzhou, offering a range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. Its history reflects the broader trend of Hong Kong-based real estate trusts investing in and revitalising mainland Chinese retail properties.
