You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''The Wharf (Holdings) Limited''' (((zh|t=九龍倉集團))), or '''Wharf''' (九倉) in short, is a company founded in 1886 in [[Hong Kong]]. As its name suggests, the company's original business was in running wharfage and dockside warehousing, and it was originally known as '''The Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company, Limited''' and founded by Sir [[Paul Chater]]. The company adopted its current name in 1986. The current major holder of the company is [[Wheelock & Co]].

== History ==
The company is still the owner of the [[Star Ferry]],<ref>((Cite news |last=Hughes |first=Jennifer |date=2022-03-18 |title=Breakingviews - Hong Kong’s Star Ferry deserves tycoon lifeline |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/hong-kongs-star-ferry-deserves-tycoon-lifeline-2022-03-18/ |access-date=2023-03-01))</ref> although this icon of Hong Kong now forms a relatively small part of the company's portfolio. The '''Five Flag Poles''', a set of flag poles flying flags of the company, are a short walk from the Star Ferry's [[Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier|Tsim Sha Tsui pier]] and form a local landmark and meeting point.

In a more modern vein, the company owns two major flagship properties in the [[Harbour City (Hong Kong)|Harbour City]] and [[Times Square (Hong Kong)|Times Square]] shopping centres in Hong Kong. Both owe their origins to the company's transportation heritage, as they are respectively built on the site of the company's original wharf, and on the site of the original depot of the [[Hong Kong Tramway]] (owned 1974–2009), a former subsidiary.

Other holdings in Hong Kong include [[i-Cable Communications Limited|i-CABLE]], [[Cable TV Hong Kong|Cable TV]] and [[WTT HK|WTT]], and [[Modern Terminals]]. The company also holds many properties in the [[Tsim Sha Tsui]] area of [[Kowloon]].

On 26 July 2016, it was announced that Wharf Holdings (through Novel Colour Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary) is investing RMB 150 million to form [[WWE & Company]], a social mobile shopping platform technology company.<ref>[https://finance.yahoo.com/news/walton-brown-ecargo-sign-joint-230000485.html Walton Brown and eCargo sign joint venture]</ref>

In 2017, The Wharf (Holdings) spin-off its real estate portfolio as a sister listed company [[Wharf Real Estate Investment Company]] (Wharf REIC).<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/wharf-holdings-divestiture-idUSL3N1NK1YG|title=Hong Kong's Wharf approves property unit spin-off|date=14 November 2017|accessdate=13 November 2020|website=Reuters.com))</ref>

In February 2018, Wharf REIC replaced The Wharf (Holdings) as the component of the blue chip index [[Hang Seng Index]].<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/hongkong-markets-hangseng-idUSH9N1PS00N|title=Tencent, China Mobile to join Hang Seng China Enterprises Index|date=6 February 2018|accessdate=13 November 2020|website=Reuters.com))</ref><ref>[https://www.hsi.com.hk/static/uploads/contents/en/news/pressRelease/20180206T000000.pdf Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited press release 2018-02-06. Retrieved 2018-09-29]</ref>

In December 2020, the company was awarded a plot located on [[The Peak, Hong Kong|the Peak]] for $1.5 billion, marking the first sale of a parcel in the prestigious neighbourhood since 2011.<ref>((Cite web|last=Olsen|first=Robert|title=Hong Kong's Woo Family Wins Premium Residential Site For $1.5 Billion|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertolsen/2020/12/24/hong-kongs-woo-family-wins-premium-residential-site-for-15-billion/|access-date=2021-10-12|website=Forbes|language=en))</ref>

==Holdings==
Wharf Hotels is a subsidiary that manages 17 hotels, as of 2022, in Mainland China, Hong Kong and the Philippines. Twelve of the hotels are under the [[Marco Polo Hotels]] brand and five are flagged under Niccolo Hotels.<ref>((cite web |title=Wharf Hotels |url=https://www.wharfholdings.com/en/businesses/hotel-management |publisher=The Wharf (Holdings) |access-date=2 June 2022))</ref>
