New World Development (NWD) said that its parent, Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (CTFE), has been approached by potential investors following reports that Blackstone is in talks to acquire a stake that could make it NWD’s largest shareholder. Media reports suggest Blackstone would lead a restructuring, including asset sales to bolster liquidity, though the size of any stake has not been disclosed. NWD confirmed CTFE has held discussions with several parties, but stressed that no agreements have been reached and there is no certainty a transaction will proceed. The developer has become Hong Kong’s most indebted property company after years of leverage collided with a prolonged downturn, posting a HKD 16.3bn ($2.1bn) loss in June 2025.
