Fast food giant McDonald's is planning to sell eight prime retail properties in Hong Kong with a total market value of HK$1.2 billion, according to property firm JLL.
In a statement on Monday, JLL said it has been appointed as the sole agent for the sales, which will be conducted via public tender on September 16.
The agency said the properties are in Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok, Kennedy Town, Tai Kok Tsui, Yuen Long, Tsuen Wan and Tsz Wan Shan, and range from 6,800 to 19,000 square feet in size.
The largest is the ground floor and basement of Star House on Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.
The company said the properties are all secured with long-term McDonald's leases and will be available for purchase either individually or as a portfolio.
Eunice Tang, executive director of capital markets at JLL in Hong Kong, said the sites will be supported by high rental yields with a full occupancy rate.
"Most of these McDonald's restaurants have been iconic dining destinations for over 30 years, with some operating 24/7, which underscores the strength and resilience of the tenants' businesses," she said.
Tang said there are no changes planned to the chain's restaurants in those locations and they remain operational.

Insurance fillip for HK stocks amid mainland gains
Insurance fillip for HK stocks amid mainland gains The Hang Seng Index closed 173 points, or 0.68 percent, up at 25,562 on Monday. File photo: RTHK Mainland China stocks extended their five-week rally on Monday, with the rare earth sector climbing to a three-year high ahead of crucial trade talks with the United States, while insurers gained following an industry policy change that boosted sentiment. In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index ended up 173 points, or 0.68 percent, at 25,562. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index rose 0.29 percent to end at 9,17 while the Hang Seng Tech Index fell 0.24 percent to close at 5,664. Insurers AIA, Ping An and China Life gained between 2 percent and 4.9 percent. However, the tech index lost 0.2 percent. Up north, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.12 percent to 3,597, hovering near the highest level in three-and-a-half years while the Shenzhen Component Index closed 0.44 percent higher at 11,217. The combined turnover of these two indexes stood at about 1.74 trillion yuan, down from 1.79 trillion yuan on Friday. Stocks related to copper clad laminate and printed circuit board led gains, while stocks related to coal and antimony suffered major losses. The ChiNext Index, tracking China's Nasdaq-style board of growth enterprises, increased 0.96 percent to close at 2,362. The Sino-US trade talks will likely see the trade truce extended by three months, preventing the implementation of higher tariffs, according to analysts. The insurance sector added nearly 3 percent to rank among the best performers onshore, after the industry body cut the reference rate for life insurance products. "Investor concerns on U.S.-China trade frictions appear to have eased," Kinger Lau, chief China equity strategist at Goldman Sachs, said in a note. "A potential US-China trade deal could be a market-clearing event for Chinese stocks." (Reuters/Xinhua)
