Dacheng Advises Tianan Property Insurance on Shanghai Expo Park Land Investment

Tianan Property Insurance Co., Ltd. recently acquired the land use right of a plot within Shanghai Expo Park after paying RMB1.2bn of land transfer fees. The plot is located in a world-class commercial community housing headquarters of renowned international companies and serving functions for high-end business affairs, conventions and exhibitions with supporting functions for consumption, leisure and entertainment and hotels.

The team conducted due diligence, offered attorneys’ opinion and advice on compliance and issued documents required by China Insurance Regulatory Commission on the real estate investment. 

Despite a tight schedule, the team led by Wu delivered quality, efficient service, winning praise and recognition from the client.
