Source-derived summary

CK Asset Holdings Limited, formerly Cheung Kong Property Holdings Limited, is a property developer registered in the Cayman Islands, with its headquarters and principal place of business in Hong Kong.

History

The company was established in 2015 when Cheung Kong Holdings spun off its property holdings into a separate company as part of a restructuring. CK Asset Holdings began trading on 3 June 2015. After restructuring, Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa went private, replacing their major listed companies with CK Hutchison Holdings and CK Asset Holdings.

Immediately after restructuring, CK Asset Holdings became a constituent of the Hang Seng Index (the blue-chip index of the Hong Kong stock exchange).

Acquisitions

In 2019, the company bought the UK pub company Greene King in a deal that valued the chain at £2.7 billion.

In May 2023, CK Asset Holdings agreed a £485 million cash takeover offer for Civitas Social Housing.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “CK Asset Holdings” as property developer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2015, 2019, 2023—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2015. The account is most persuasive where Asset, Holdings and property can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as property developer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19985983. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2019 and 2023.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
