We focus on the market development in the mid– to high–end residential and commercial properties, so as to maintain business growth to enlarge our market share and operating scale.

Meanwhile, we would expand our business operations vigorously for community services and community assets management via the mobile internet platform, in order to satisfy the various service needs of the owners, tenants and occupiers, and provide swift and convenient services experience that would increase our overall competitiveness in the property management industry.
