The fact that Goodman Interlink is now almost fully leased to a range of well-known multinationals and 3PLs is testament to the exceptional quality of the building, its strategic location and our global reputation as property developers and managers, while highlighting the lack of high quality facilities such as this in Hong Kong. "The stable economy in Hong Kong, boosted by strong retail sales and domestic consumption, has resulted in significant demand for warehousing space, which has outstripped supply. We are committed to delivering outstanding quality developments on behalf of our customers and investors, and maintaining our reputation as a leading provider of prime industrial space." Approximately 99% of the lettable space at Goodman Interlink has been leased to major international and local companies, including the two anchor customers, DHL Supply Chain (Hong Kong) Limited and Yusen Logistics (Hong Kong) Limited. Other customers include, BEL International Logistics Limited, a well-known luxury fashion and accessories retailer and a leading pharmaceutical and healthcare distributor. Most recently, global logistics provider, Nippon Express and Net-a-Porter, an online luxury fashion retailer, have leased space at Goodman Interlink. Goodman Interlink is built in compliance with both the HK BEAM and LEED environmental assessment method. It is the only warehouse and distribution development in Hong Kong to be awarded a Gold standard pre-certification rating from HK BEAM and a certification from LEED. Mr Tom Wong, Managing Director, DHL Supply Chain, Hong Kong and Macau said, "As an anchor tenant and one of the first to pre-lease space, DHL is extremely pleased with Goodman Interlink's on-time completion and its unique green concept which is in line with our group's GoGreen initiative. We see Hong Kong as a major hub for our business in the Greater China region and the opening of the DHL Supply Chain MegaHub in Goodman Interlink will enable us to improve operational efficiency, consolidate our resources and therefore allow us to enhance our service to our customers." "We are pleased to move into a building of such high quality and with efficient warehousing space in a very strategic location. We work with Goodman in a number of markets globally, including Japan, Australia, China and continental Europe, and are delighted with their ability to meet our needs in all those markets." Mr Nakajima Noria, General Manager of Nippon Express concluded.
