Business
China Motor Bus Company, Limited is a Hong Kong-based property development and investment company originally established in 1933 and headquartered in Hong Kong. The company transitioned from its original business of franchised bus services, having ceased these operations in 1998, to focus primarily on property investment and development. Its core activities include property leasing; development, construction, sale, and marketing of residential and commercial properties; and treasury management, which covers the management of listed investments and financial assets. The company manages significant real estate projects primarily in Hong Kong, including large-scale residential and retail complexes such as a 64,500 square meter development in Chai Wan comprising multiple residential towers and retail shops, which is jointly developed with Swire Properties. It also holds a 50% stake in the South Island Place office tower in Wong Chuk Hang, a grade A commercial building. Additionally, China Motor Bus has real estate investments in London, including the Scorpio House office block, having recently divested Albany House as part of a strategic move to unlock shareholder value and strengthen its financial position amid challenging UK market conditions. Recent major changes include the strategic pivot from transport operations to property development, divestment of a key London property in 2024, and ongoing collaboration with Swire Properties on multiple development projects in Hong Kong. The company continues to return value to shareholders through dividends, with a recent dividend announcement in 2025. This evolution reflects China Motor Bus’s repositioning as a real estate player focused on leveraging its former transport assets for property development and investment returns. China Motor Bus operates exclusively in the property investment and development sector with a portfolio spanning Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, targeting residential, commercial, and retail property markets. The company no longer operates any transport services but maintains its presence as a listed investment entity under ticker 0026.HK on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
