截至9月20日结束的投标期，香港太古东区两栋办公楼——城置大厦三座及四座的交易未能成功找到买家。据知情人士透露，这批房产的销售流程并未达到预期效果，并无任何出价者出现，包括此前计划参与投标的Gaw Capital。该企业目前持有这些建筑65%的所有权股份。
去年六月，当Gaw Capital寻求从少数股权合作伙伴Hengli Investments手中全盘收购两座办公室大楼时，便通过公开竞标进行操作。当时有消息指称，Gaw Capital意图以等同于Hengli公司债务价值的价格购入对方持有的股份，并已联合两家房地产代理公司——Savills和Jones Lang LaSalle共同参与了此次招标程序。
据一家媒体报导指出，在今年七月晚些时候启动的投标过程中，截止时间前并无任何可接受的出价。Savills发言人表示目前尚未收到有效提案，而Gaw Capital一方则未对此发表评论。Hengli Investments与Jones Lang LaSalle则尚未给予回应。
香港商业房地产市场近期低迷，受新办公楼供应量增加、跨国公司成本削减以及内地企业回归速度不及预期的影响。在第二季度，租金涨幅高达16%以上，而自2019年高峰以来，租金已经下跌了35%，这一趋势反映在Colliers International Group Inc.的数据上。
对于Gaw Capital与Hengli Investments计划的交易而言，Gaw Capital希望以相当于后者债务价值的价格购入其持有的股份。双方共同筹集了一笔HK$10.3亿（约$1.3亿）的同步贷款，用于资助这些建筑物的收购，并将在2025年初到期。
