Li Quan, director of the Institute of Finance, School of Finance, Nankai University, noted Tianjin's massive stock assets, including old factories, industrial parks and historic buildings, lay a solid foundation for REITs instruments.

Hexi district has delivered replicable practices by renovating former industrial sites to foster industrial design, commercial aerospace, intelligent manufacturing and biomedicine. Such upgraded sci‑tech parks can serve as high‑quality underlying assets for REITs, offering local experience for asset revitalization.
