Sincere Wins Bid to Manage Retail Mall of Upcoming Kunming Transportation Hub

Concurrently, Sincere also announced that it has secured the winning bid to operate the retail space in the upcoming Kunming Transportation Hub that will serve as a gateway linking the southwestern province of Yunnan with the rest of Asia.

Sincere Starlight Commercial Properties (Sincere Starlight), a subsidiary and the retail operation platform of Sincere, beat four competitors to secure the right to operate and manage the retail space. The Sincere Starlight Mall will have over 100,000 sqm of retail space and will be managed by the Sincere group for a 15-year period commencing 2024.

Kunming already serves as a transportation hub connecting China to mainland Southeast Asia, one of the fastest-growing economic regions with a combined population of nearly 650 million people in 11 countries. The proposed hub will build upon current rail and road links to the region to Myanmar, Laos and Thailand. To be located in the city centre, the Kunming Transportation Hub will also connect with Kunming Changshui International Airport and the Kunming High-Speed South Train Station.
