NEW WORLD DEV (00017.HK) has proposed using one of its most valuable assets, Victoria Dockside in Tsim Sha Tsui, as collateral to pledge an additional loan of up to HKD15.6 billion (USD2 billion) to bolster liquidity, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported.

The company recently sent proposed terms for a three-year loan to banks, stating that the proceeds would be used for the prepayment, repayment, purchase, or repurchase of its existing debt, though no further details were provided, according to people familiar with the matter.
