The UK retailer said the first venture will develop three shopping malls in Anshan, Fushan and Qinhuangdao, each of which will include a Tesco hypermarket as the anchor tenant.


“The malls are part of Tesco’s long-term strategy to invest in building a substantial business in China,” the company said.


In the twelve months up to next February, Tesco will open 18 new hypermarkets in China.


Some 50% of the first venture will be owned by a syndicate of Asian investors including HSBC Nan Fung China Real Estate Fund, Singapore’s Metro Holdings and Hong Kong’s Nan Fung Group.
