Nanjing International Financial Center Tower is located in the most prosperous area of ??Xinjiekou, Nanjing. It was opened in May 2009, with a total construction area of ??109,000 square meters and a height of 220 meters dominating Xinjiekou, Nanjing.

This acquisition attracted people's attention not only because of the huge amount of money spent, but also because the seller of the property was a real estate fund under Cheung Kong Holdings and Singapore's ARA Fund.

Information shows that the company is a subsidiary of Li Ka-shing’s Cheung Kong Holdings.

Amid Li Ka-shing's talk of "disinvesting in China", Cheung Kong Holdings' sale of its only property in Nanjing, the Xinjiekou International Financial Center, has stirred people's imagination.

However, there is news that although Cheung Kong Properties’ properties in Nanjing have been sold off, the investment in Nanjing by Hutchison Whampoa, another group owned by Li Ka-shing, has not changed.

It is reported that at the end of 2010, Hutchison Whampoa spent 3.18 billion yuan to win the G53 plot located in Yikang Street, Hexi, Nanjing, with the floor price reaching 8,584 yuan/square meter.
