China Merchants Shekou Holdings is a flagship subsidiary under the China Merchants Group, a leading state-owned enterprise under the direct supervision of the central government, is dedicated to comprehensive urban development. It is also the Group’s only asset integration platform for real estate and important business collaboration platform in China.

Founded in 1979, CMSK established Shekou Industrial Zone 39 years ago. It is the birthplace of China’s reform and opening up and has contributed to China’s economic development. Many famous enterprises were incubated and cultivated here, such as China Merchants Bank, Ping An Insurance, China International Marine Containers, China Merchants Port. On December 30, 2015, CMSK merged with China Merchants Property Development and went public after an unprecedented reorganization, being a model of state-owned enterprise reform and a benchmark for the innovation of China's capital market.

CMSK integrates the unique advantages of the former China Merchants Property Development and Shekou Industrial Zone, and strategically positions itself as “China's leading city and industrial park developer and operator” with three pillar businesses, namely: industrial park development and operation, residential community development and operation, and cruise industry development and operation and thus has formed the unique “Port-Park-City” mode, which facilitates it to engage in the urban development of key cities along the “Belt and Road” and in China.
