History

Wharf Real Estate Investment Company Limited (Wharf REIC) was formed as a spin-off of The Wharf (Holdings) in 2017.[2] Before the spin off, in 2016, The Wharf also acquired Wheelock House from the parent company Wheelock & Co. and from the chairman Peter Woo,[3] which the assets were later injected to the REIC.

In February 2018, Wharf REIC replaced The Wharf (Holdings) as the component of the blue chip index Hang Seng Index.[4]

In December 2019, Wharf REIC acquired Wheelock Place and Scotts Square and the company Wheelock Properties (Singapore) from Wheelock & Co..[5]
