Harrison Partners with Thai Investors and China’s Aurevia Asia Pacific Fangdd Network Group Ltd. to acquire and manage sales of A Space Mega Condominium Project, Introducing “Prop2Share”

Bangkok, October 20, 2025 – Harrison Public Company Limited, a leading real estate management and consultancy firm with over 31 years of industry expertise, has joined forces with a group of Thai investors and Aurevia Asia Pacific Fangdd Network Group Ltd. from China to establish FD Harrison Co., Ltd. The joint venture aims to acquire and manage the sales of the A Space Mega Condominium project at Bangna area, with future plans to expand into additional projects. As part of this initiative, the company also introduces an efficient sales tool through independent agents under the Prop2Share platform—an integrated ecosystem connecting every stage of the real estate process.

Mr. Kwang Jung Alan Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Harrison Public Company Limited, stated that Harrison, established in 1994, is a comprehensive real estate management and consultancy firm. The company provides a full spectrum of services — from investment advisory, land acquisition, land development, project sales and marketing management, asset auctions, juristic person management, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A), to project development partnerships with clients both domestically and internationally. Over the years, Harrison has earned recognition and trust from leading developers and numerous public companies.

In this new venture, Harrison has expanded its investment opportunities through a partnership with a group of Thai investors and Aurevia Asia Pacific Fangdd Network Group Ltd. from China — a major shareholder of Fangdd Network Group Ltd., one of China’s leading technology developers specializing in real estate sales platforms. Together, they have established FD Harrison Co., Ltd. to acquire and manage the sales of A Space Mega Condominium – Building 1, located in the Bangna area. The project comprises 140 units, with a total value of over 200 million Baht, featuring a 35-story high-rise condominium situated near Mega Bangna, a prime lifestyle and shopping destination in Bangkok — ideal for both residence and investment.

This collaboration represents a mutually beneficial strategic alliance, maximizing synergies among all parties. Harrison brings extensive expertise in project sales and marketing management for the Thai market and operates Prop2Share, an efficient real estate sales tool and platform with approximately 43,000 independent agent members. When combined with the strengths of Aurevia Asia Pacific Fangdd Network Group Ltd., which holds equity in Fangdd Network Group Ltd. — a leading developer of online real estate brokerage platforms in China — and with the capital support from Thai investors, this partnership is expected to achieve substantial success.

The alliance is poised to expand its customer base, enhance brand visibility, and establish a sustainable revenue channel. Ultimately, it will create a comprehensive real estate ecosystem that integrates all key functions — from sourcing real estate products and securing investment capital to building high-potential distribution platforms supported by a robust global client database.

Mr. Jayden Wong, President of Aurevia Asia Pacific Fangdd Network Group Ltd., the parent company of Fangdd Network Group Ltd., explained that Fangdd is a leading provider of online real estate information platforms in the People’s Republic of China. The company operates the Property Cloud business — a software solution designed for real estate sellers and marketplace services — as well as Duoduo Sales, an innovative online platform for real estate agents that enables instant access to market functions and seamless transaction capabilities from anywhere.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, Fangdd has established itself as one of the country’s foremost technology developers in the property sector. Mr. Wong emphasized that this partnership marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration in both investment and technological development, specifically focused on enhancing online sales platforms for the real estate market in Thailand.

Furthermore, the Prop2Share platform, an efficient sales tool operated through independent real estate agents, serves as Thailand’s leading quality property stock hub, offering a comprehensive range of condominiums, townhomes, new houses, and pre-owned homes across all locations and price ranges. Currently, the platform lists over 1,284 real estate projects, providing agents with ready-to-sell properties — eliminating the need to source listings or negotiate directly with property owners.

Prop2Share updates its property database monthly and imposes no binding brokerage agreements, allowing agents to operate freely as independent brokers or represent other property owners simultaneously. In addition, the platform helps enhance agent skills through year-round free training courses and workshops, empowering agents to thrive in the modern real estate market.

Prop2Share also provides complete document preparation and transaction support at no cost, ensuring a smooth end-to-end process. Upon successful completion of sales transactions, agents receive their commission payments within 30–45 business days, reinforcing the platform’s reliability and efficiency for all participants in the ecosystem.
